"How is it, have you figured it out?" Du Wu suddenly threw off the snake whip and blasted a cloud of dust on the ground.
Duan Nian shivered.
"The method of weaving is a secret passed down by my people for thousands of years. Even if you kill me, you can't tell." Duan Baiyue spoke slowly, but there was no room for negotiation.
Poison sneered, and then turned his attention to Duan Nian: "What about you? Don't want to say it?"
"It's not that I don't want to say it." Duan Nian first glanced at Duan Baiyue, and seeing that he didn't seem to have any reaction, he just said cautiously, "But I really don't know anything." Very innocent.
"Don't know?" Du Wu asked again.
Duan Nian nodded: "Really not..." Before he finished speaking, he was wrapped around his waist by a snake whip, the barbs hooked on the flesh like sharp teeth, and slammed into the worm pool full of all kinds of poisons.
"You!" Duan Baiyue was horrified, rushed forward and seemed to want to have a theory with Poison Five, but someone put a knife around his neck.
The screams were incessant, and the shadow guard of the Southwest House looked at it from a distance, and he didn't care, but the Jianghu mascot looked serious, his eyes were full of sympathy, and he felt very empathy - this Xiongtai is too unlucky, if he comes to Shu in the future In the middle, he must be treated to a hot pot, the kind of beef and loin slices open to eat.
When Duan Nian tried his best to climb out of the poisonous worm pool, his whole body was dying, his body was covered in blood, even his lips began to turn purple, and he was dying.
Witnessing his tragic state with his own eyes, Duan Baiyue's body was shaky, and his face was pale and almost fainted.
"Why, you still refuse to say it?" Du Wu sneered.
Duan Baiyue's chest rose and fell violently, and she bent over to pull Duan Nian up, but when she saw the poisonous insects all over her body, she pulled her hand back.
"Those who know the current affairs are Junjie. If you are knowledgeable, your Excellency will not suffer from this heart-wrenching pain, and I will be able to communicate earlier." Du Wu asked, "How?"
"I... think about it." Duan Baiyue finally gave in.
The poison nodded readily and instructed his subordinates to bring the two back to their residence.
After the door was closed, Duan Nian groped in his pocket for a long time. He first took out a pill to take, and then took out a red wing sheath, which he put into a white porcelain bottle, and planned to go back and give it to the little prince.
Duan Baiyue laughed: "In that pond of dead fish and rotten shrimp, you can still find such valuable goods, it's really not easy."
"What's the next step?" Duan Nian asked.
Duan Baiyue said: "Find a way to meet Fenglei alone."
"Your Highness is sure that the other party will help us?" Duan Nian sat cross-legged on the ground, "I don't know the root cause, my subordinates always feel that they have no idea."
"If what the people who chased the Shadow Palace said was true, then Fenglei scolded Xiaoxiaoer in the house in the middle of the night, and even raised a little ghost to put a curse on her birthday, it must be a deep resentment." Duan Baiyue said.
"What if the grudges are deep?" Duan Nian continued to ask.
"Looking at the posture, he wants to kill Xiaoxiaoer wholeheartedly." Duan Baiyue said, "And if we provide the weaving method of the fabric, then the power of Xiaoxiaoer and Liushangjiange in the martial arts will not be comparable to today, how can he would allow that to happen."
"So the prince bet that Fenglei would come to us?" Duan Nian said.
"If you and I just killed Bai Zongchi, for him, this matter will end here." Duan Baiyue said, "But things are not as he wished, so I bet he will definitely make the next move."
There were footsteps outside, and Duan Nian quickly lay back on the ground with a half-dead face.
The wind and thunder pushed the door in.
Duan Baiyue didn't look at him, just said: "I haven't thought about it yet."
"There are no outsiders here." Feng Lei closed the door with his backhand.
Duan Baiyue sneered: "It turns out that the second shopkeeper treats me as his own."
"I said before that it's not up to me to decide whether your Excellency will leave or stay." Feng Lei sat opposite him, "I will do whatever the pavilion master says, that's all."
"Then why did the second shopkeeper come this time?" Duan Baiyue's tone was still cold.
"Do you know kung fu?" Feng Lei asked.
Duan Baiyue retorted: "Even if I know kung fu, the second shopkeeper is afraid that I will escape."
"I know the temper of the pavilion master." Feng Lei glanced at Duan Nian, who was curled up in the corner, and continued, "Your clan's life is short, but your life may not last long."
"Second shopkeeper Hugh is going to deceive people too much!" Duan Baiyue said angrily, "I have promised to consider it, why should I speak so viciously to each other."
"If you agree to the pavilion master's conditions, you can survive if you think you are?" Feng Lei smiled disdainfully.
Duan Baiyue looked a little sluggish as if there was a dull stick hitting the head: "You..."
"The method of weaving, you can tell it to the pavilion master, and you can also tell the rest of the people. At that time, wouldn't Liushang Jiange be free to separate the fat from the mouth." Feng Lei said, "I want to keep this forever. Secret, the best way is to turn your Excellency into a dead person, you don’t understand this truth, right?”
"What on earth are you trying to do?" Duan Baiyue was a little excited, "Why are you telling me this when you've made up your mind to kill me?"
"I don't want to do anything, I just can't bear it for a while because you are pitiful." Feng Lei said, "If you know kung fu, run away."
"The second shopkeeper is willing to help me?" Hearing this, Duan Baiyue's eyes flashed with light.
"I can't help you." Feng Leizhu picked up his cane, stood up slowly, and then said in a barely audible voice, "Go to Linglong Tower."
Duan Baiyue raised his head suddenly.
"At the bottom is a pool, with tunnels leading to the outside." Feng Lei continued, "Since he was born on a fishing island in the East China Sea, the water should be good."
"Thank you." Duan Baiyue said, "If you really get away with it, you will be grateful."
"At my age, I'm afraid I won't be able to use it again." Feng Lei turned around slowly and walked out the door with a cane.
"Linglong Tower." Duan Nian sat up again.
Duan Baiyue said: "You sleep upright together, but you have the demeanor of cheating corpses."
Duan Nian: "…"
"Fenglei wants to introduce me into Linglong Tower." Duan Baiyue said, "Why?"
"I don't understand." Duan Nian said, "The people in the Liushangjian Pavilion are a little crazy. If it sounds good, it is unpredictable. If it sounds bad, it means that there is a problem with the brain. I will take the initiative to let the prince live."
Duan Baiyue said: "If you can't guess it, then don't guess it."
"Your Highness is going?" Duan Nian asked.
Duan Baiyue nodded: "Naturally."
"Is it appropriate?" Duan Nian frowned, "The other party is obviously not sincerely wanting to let the prince go, there may be a mechanism in that tower."
"When Yao'er was thirteen years old, she was able to dismantle Jiu Xuanji with her bare hands, how could this king be trapped by this exquisite tower." Duan Baiyue said, "Don't worry too much."
Duan Nian had no choice but to swallow the words from his mouth.
In the middle of the night, there was a cracking sound from the window, and then I saw a shadow guard sneak in, like a ghost.
Duan Nian was a little confused. Even if he wasn't the killer of the Southwest Mansion, he should have been the Shadow Guard of the Great Neighborhood. Why was he the one from the Shadow Palace
Seeing the doubts on his face, the dark guard took the initiative to explain: "We choose people by drawing lots." It's reasonable and more civilized than fighting.
Duan Nian: "…"
"How is the situation outside?" Duan Baiyue asked.
"Poison Wu returned to Xiaoxiaoer, saying that the lord had promised to hand over the secret recipe. Xiaoxiaoer looked in a very good mood and didn't have any doubts, and said that she would come back the day after tomorrow." The dark guard said, "Oh yes, at the end, there is an additional warning, saying that Watch the Linglong Pagoda to avoid accidents."
"It's the Linglong Tower again." Duan Nian clicked his tongue, "It seems that there is a secret inside."
"Have you seen it?" Duan Baiyue asked.
The dark guard nodded: "Naturally." With this kind of excitement, you must go to check it out, but it's a pity that it's empty and there's nothing.
"Empty?" Duan Bai also frowned.
"It's really empty." The dark guard was sure, "Our people went back and forth, and there were eight times when we looked for it."
Duan Nian said silently, "Is this called tight defense?" Eight times.
The dark guard's eyes are innocent, so what else can we do? Is it because we are so good at Kung Fu
"When the wind and thunder came during the day, I once said that there was a pool at the bottom." Duan Baiyue said, "Have you seen it?"
"There is, but there is, and I went down to find it." An Wei said, "That is a pool, and there is no mechanism in it."
"Just an ordinary pool?" Duan Baiyue said, "According to Fenglei, that pool can lead directly to the outside of Liushang Jiange."
"It doesn't look like it." An guard said, "I knocked everywhere, and they are all solid mud walls. Not to mention secret passages, there are not even secret spaces."
"Look, I'll just say it." Duan Nian said, "The whole villa is chaotic, and it's a little weird, and I can't figure out what the other party wants to do."
Duan Baiyue thought for a moment, and whispered in the dark guard's ear.
"Okay." The dark guard nodded, "Don't worry, my lord, keep it safe."
At noon on the second day, Feng Lei really came to the small courtyard again.
Duan Nian was still groaning in a low voice - he originally wanted to pretend to be dead, but he was worried that he would be buried when he died, and it was not easy to act, so he had to continue half-dead, trying to protect himself without being disliked by the other party and making up for two swords. .
Sure enough, after Feng Lei entered the house, he didn't even look at him, and asked Duan Baiyue directly: "What do you think?"
"Okay." Duan Baiyue nodded without any hesitation.
"Tonight is the most lax defense of this small courtyard." Feng Lei said, "The Linglong Pagoda is built on the highest point of the southwest hillside, and the defense along the way is not strict, just sneak in while the night is dark."
Duan Baiyue said: "Thank you second shopkeeper."
Fenglei waved his hand, got up and limped away, always with a smile on his lips.
After he left, Duan Nian reached out and rubbed the chicken skin on his body.
Time passed little by little, the sun went down, and the Liushang Jiange gradually became quiet.
The sky was dark, no wind, no stars and no moon.
The killers of the Southwest Mansion were hiding in every corner of the small courtyard, staring intently at the movement below. As midnight approached, another group of servants came to change the guard. After the handover was completed, the first group of people yawned and left, and the surroundings became silent again.
A dark shadow passed over the roof, and the speed was extremely fast, so fast that it didn't seem like a leg was missing.
The dark guard sighed with emotion. It looked like he really came to save the prince. If so, thinking about it carefully, it would be a bit touching.
Before he could think about it, Feng Lei, who was wearing a night-walking suit, had already raised his knife and fell, knocking out the guards at the door, and dragging them all into the shadows.
The watchman passed by, and the courtyard door was pushed open by a creak. Duan Baiyue looked around vigilantly. Seeing that it was really unguarded, he roughly distinguished the direction and went straight to Linglong Tower.
It was very quiet along the way, so quiet that it was a little strange. There wasn't even a single patrolling servant, and there was a faint smell of blood in the air, the closer it was to the Linglong Tower, the stronger it became.
The dark clouds in the sky dissipated, and a crescent moon appeared sharply, brightening the surrounding scene.
A gust of wind blew, the incomplete bell hanging on the Linglong Pagoda hoarsely rang, Duan Baiyue looked up, and then dodged into the pagoda.
"Pavilion Master! The big thing is bad!" An exclamation resounded through the villa, Feng Lei was covered in blood, and he stumbled into the hospital with a wheelchair.
The guard was startled and hurriedly supported the person.
Xiaoxiaoer put on her clothes and hurried out: "What happened?"
"The pavilion master." Feng Lei was dying, blood spilled from his lips, "The two merchants from the East China Sea knocked out the guards and went all the way to the Linglong Pagoda. The subordinates tried to stop them, but they were injured by him and almost lost their lives."
"What?" Xiaoxiao'er turned pale in shock, and before she could ask more, she rushed over with someone. After the surroundings were quiet, Feng Lei just returned to his usual expression, his arms exerted strength, and he slowly stood up from the wheelchair.
While nibbling on the peach, the mascot crouched on the tree and looked at him, guessing what his next move would be, but he never expected that a moment later, a leg would grow out of the empty trousers.
…
Pretend to be lame? As soon as these three words flashed in the dark guard's mind, Fenglei suddenly jumped up, his figure was like a long-armed monkey, and he disappeared into the night in an instant.
The dark guard did not dare to slack off and followed closely behind, the villa was already in chaos, and there were householders holding torches everywhere. The Linglong Pagoda was surrounded by people, and the voices were loud.
The bodies of the guards were continuously searched, and soon they filled the sides of the road. Xiaoxiaoer's eyes were bloodshot and murderous.
Fenglei stood on a high hill and watched Xiaoxiaoer enter Linglong Tower with his own eyes, the smile on his lips became more and more terrifying. The dark guard was trembling when he saw it. He was about to say that this person was a demon or was about to go crazy, when he saw that he moved a rock with both hands and took out a meniscus bow from it.
The three sharp arrows were pulled out of the quiver, with the hatred that had been suppressed for many years, and the joy that everything was about to end, Feng Lei was shaking with excitement, and just wanted to aim at the top of the tower, but a sharp pain already started from the right shoulder. come.
Arrow feather deviates from the original target, and rushes to the sky weakly. The dark guard glanced at the hidden weapon in the palm of his hand, turned back with deep dissatisfaction, and agreed that each of them would be responsible, and which small partner came to grab the business.
Then he saw Chu Yuan wearing a big cloak, standing on a rock not far away.
…
