Chapter Six

Gai Nie listened to the voice to defend his position, bowed his head to pass the sword, and Yuan Hong slashed off the white-clothed swordsman's bone with his backhand.He had just noticed that although the attacking two men's moves were fierce and their movements were not slow, they were far from flexible enough to respond—this sword cut the white-clothed swordsman's left thigh, and blood spurted out.When he fell down, the muscles on his face trembled, but his expression was not pain, but a weird grin.Gai Nie took the opportunity to punch him in the middle of the bridge of the nose again, the wind of the fist was not light or heavy, and he saw pus-like worms gradually protruding from the man's nose.Gai Nie was startled, and deduced that the tiny flying insects hidden in the fog could only make people lose their sanity and be loyal to their desires, but this kind of worms can enter the brain through the nose and completely turn people into puppets.But he didn't know how Wu Shen managed to trick these swordsmen one by one.

Sure enough, Wu Shen who was not far away was smiling, and unknowingly, more Jianghu people with swords, sticks and axes walked out of the Mei Lin, and surrounded Gai Nie.Gai Nie didn't want to fight more with others, so he jumped up decisively, using the toes on the branches one by one to borrow strength, and took the shortest path to strike Wu Shen's face fiercely with his sword.The point of the sword approached Wu Shen less than a foot, but he saw his lips open, and he spewed out a mouthful of miasma-green foul air towards the front.Gai Nie swung his sword back, swung his left arm and swung his sleeve to prevent the mist from approaching him.In the blink of an eye, the cane in Wu Shen's hand was knocked off the head, and Yuan Hong could barely hold it up.The side of the sword body hissed like a cloud, it was actually the poisonous mist and the sword energy wrestling with each other, repeatedly stuck.Gai Nie was worried that Yuanhong would be damaged if he kept going for a long time, so he had to withdraw his strength and retreat quickly. With Wu Shen as the axis, he took the Bagua Xun wandering step, his movement was ethereal, and he was suddenly near and far away.

Wu Shen seemed to have seen through his intentions, and swiped his stick around, protecting the vital points in front of him so that it was difficult for Gai Nie to sneak up on him with quick moves; The sound is like the roar of a tiger.Gai Nie thought to himself: I thought that this person's method of using poisonous Gu was terrifying enough, but unexpectedly even his internal energy is so strong!While making calculations, from the corner of the eye, he suddenly saw two black-clothed masked men jumping out of nowhere from the plum grove, setting up Mr. Changping on one left and one on the right, and galloping away.

Gai Nie screamed in his heart that he had been fooled, but at the moment he was fighting with his opponent to the extreme, unable to advance or retreat, he had no way to do anything.Unexpectedly, Wu Shen, who was opposite him, also let out a strange cry of annoyance, clenching his teeth.His cheeks sunken sharply, and he whistled sharply. Immediately, most of the puppets who had been coming towards Gai Nie froze for a moment, then suddenly changed direction, chasing Lord Changping and the masked man.

"Wushen's purpose is, one is to put Lord Changping to death, and the other is to take revenge on the Guigu faction. I don't know which of the two is more important." Gai Nie thought, "If he pursues immediately, this person will inevitably attack from behind; but if It's really not reconciled to let Mr. Changping escape—" But Wu Shen also had the same thought in his heart, so the two restrained each other, and neither of them could escape from the battle circle.Soon, the remaining half of the people controlled by the insect Gu gradually gathered and surrounded them; although they were unconscious, they were powerful, fearless of pain, and their moves were chaotic, and they had to beheaded to stop their actions.Er Er only heard a few swishing sounds of the wind, and several nearby puppets fell to the ground without saying a word.Wu Shen also jumped off the low wall to avoid hidden weapons.Looking back, it was Wei Zhuang leading a group of people coming in through the corner gate.Behind him are the two young masters of the Tian family, a number of disciples, and a dozen other rangers who were lucky enough not to be controlled by Gu insects.I don't know how Wei Zhuang persuaded them with a few words, and combined several forces that once aimed at "killing the sword master together" into one.

Wei Zhuang put his hands behind his back seemingly idly, and said to Tian Rong: "Please look, my lord, this is the demon who cast the spell."

Tian Rong frowned and said: "This person looks really weird. The person fighting with him is... a sword master?! How did he come here?"

Wei Zhuang said: "After we parted from you this morning, Zhuang Ben was lurking near the county government office. He wanted to take advantage of Qin people's unpreparedness, release the sword master out of the cage, and fight him as promised. Unfortunately, after hearing Ming Duo's voice, Zhuang Ben lurked around the county government. Hundreds of Qin soldiers were summoned, and it was not easy to attack. However, soon after, they saw chaos in the backyard, Qin people killed each other, and the sword master also ran out. Zhuang Ben wanted to follow him to a secluded place to have a good time After a fight, they saw crazy people everywhere in the city; after further investigation, they found that this demon was the culprit. For some reason, this man wanted to take the life of the sword master, but his sorcery was so terrible that he could kill flying insects and poisonous mist. It confused people's minds and caused many unrelated people to be tricked. Zhuang feared that we would not be spared if the monster succeeded, so I would like to ask you to discuss it together."

Both young masters nodded and said: "The demon must be eliminated." But none of them and the disciples of the Tian family made a move. They made it clear that they should follow the example of Bian Zhuang's stabbing tiger and reap the benefits after they both lose.Wei Zhuang also watched the battle with a smile on his face, and occasionally hit a few puppets who were too close with a copper ball, saying: "These people have lost their minds, I'm afraid they will hurt people indiscriminately, son, stay away." The game went smoothly, but if Ge Nie accidentally called out "Xiao Zhuang", all previous efforts would be wasted.But Gai Nie and Wu Shen were fighting fiercely, so they ignored him.

Wu Shen probably also sensed the intentions of this group of people, but he didn't pay attention to the unexpected person, and still focused on dealing with the opponent in front of him.Although Gai Nie's internal injuries have not healed, but since he entered the Qin Dynasty, he has had a lot of leisure time, studying his own martial arts alone, and his swordsmanship has improved compared to when he entered the royal city alone in Handan; his experience in dealing with the enemy is not the same as before. .Right now, his moves are sent and received freely, and he swings them calmly. Every sword can make both offense and defense, and even strike. The seemingly irrelevant point, swipe, and slash of the blade just happened to prevent Wu Shen from being distracted from casting poisonous punches. intention of.Wu Shen fell short of success many times, and became more and more anxious. He simply stopped attacking with centipedes and gnats, and used all his strength with a rattan staff.This person is using a set of "jumping stick technique", which is rare in the Central Plains. The green rattan will become more powerful after being infused with true energy. When dancing, it is like a huge wind pulling the trees in the forest. Howling is compelling.However, Gai Niefu leaped low and high, and suddenly leaped to the top of the opponent's head. His body seemed to be drawn into a full bow in the air, and the half-moved "Shuowang" used it: this move fully demonstrated the power of the vertical sword, and also included horizontal swordsmanship. The mystery of "still water flowing deep" in the book is like a pool of deep water slowly submerging from all sides, swallowing up the true energy that Wu Shen brought out with his stick.

The two men fought with all their energy, and ignored Wei Zhuang, Tian Rong and others who were not far away and surrounded but did not attack.Knowing that this person is an enemy, some people among the heroes praised in a low voice, "Good swordsmanship!"

At this moment, several palaces were already on fire, and the noise from all directions became louder and louder, mixed with a few howling wolves.Gai Nie's heart skipped a beat and he thought of someone.But before he had time to think about it, he heard a loud bang on the earthen wall Wu Shen was leaning against, and a big hole burst out in an instant.The dust was flying everywhere, and it turned out that a dozen or so bulls who had escaped from the market ran on a rampage without thinking, and ran all the way into the back garden of the palace.Livestock should be afraid of flames, but this group of bulls became frenzied and ferocious after being stimulated. They rushed into the crowd, picked their horns and trampled on them with all four hooves, quite like a "fire bull formation".Qunhao couldn't continue watching from the sidelines immediately, and drew their swords one after another to protect themselves.

During the commotion, only a few people were heard crying in unison: "Monster! Give back my brother's life!!!"

Gai Nie glanced over and found that it was actually three of the "Four Heroes of the Jingzhong", Qu Yiming, Jing Er, and Zhu Xiong.The three of them lost their right thumbs, so they had to tie their long swords to their wrists, chopping and stabbing at Wu Shen abruptly.From their yelling and cursing, Ge Nie knew that Huang Zhi, the eldest of the four, had died of poisoning—it turned out that Wu Shen's method of manipulating living people with poisonous insects also depends on the aptitude of the person being cast. Nose orifice, he was killed on the spot before he could even become a puppet.However, the skills of these three people are far from Wu Shen's. Before the tip of the sword touched the corner of the enemy's clothes, they were knocked back by the inner strength; Because of Qu Yiming's short stature and light body, he flew the farthest, and his back was about to hit the tip of a bull's horn.

At a critical moment, Gai Nie suddenly used false moves to force Wu Shen back, and with his left hand, he used his palm to control the crane, and grabbed Qu Yiming's front.This stroke was so far away that it really took a lot of effort, it wasn't enough to grab a big living person, but it was enough to make Qu Yiming stagger, and happened to avoid the stab through the heart.His two sworn brothers hurried over and helped him up.At this time, Wu Shen's cane was less than half a foot away from Gai Nie's back Xinxintai acupoint, Gai Nie returned a move "Su Qin's back sword", which was enough to stop it.This made him fall behind, being forced by Wu Shen to defend repeatedly, and missed the opportunity to rush in.Wei Zhuang cursed in his heart as he watched from the sidelines: "Go and meddle in other business!"

Gai Nie seemed to have heard what his younger brother was thinking, turned around and made a few moves, and said to Qu, Jing and the others: "You are so strong! My husband is not afraid of strength and does not avoid death. The three of you are very loyal." He fell into the opponent's stick wind In the movie, there are obvious dangers everywhere, but the posture and posture are extremely chic.A gust of hot wind blew away the mist a little.Only then did everyone see clearly that many human and animal remains had fallen on the ground, and the sprayed blood was coated layer after layer, thick as black as mud.All kinds of strange insects with shells and without shells can be seen everywhere, some have been trampled into pulp, and some are still wriggling endlessly; many plum blossoms that have been scraped off by sword energy are also mixed in, most of them have been stained by mud and flesh. However, one or two of them still show some white corners, so clean and frighteningly white.

People who walk the rivers and lakes all have the word "righteousness" on their lips.Although many people present have lost their relatives and friends in this disaster, there are very few who dare to draw their swords to seek revenge; hope that both the sword master and the sorcerer will be hurt is the second, the main reason is that Wu Shen's methods are too insidious and dangerous , and his martial arts are astonishingly high, even the Juggernaut seems vaguely invincible; even if many people can defeat him after repeated challenges, the first few people who rush forward must die.So everyone shirks their excuses silently and refuses to stand up.Only the Three Heroes of Jingzhong escaped from death, and the Sword Master praised his "loyalty", and his stomach was ironed with indescribable gratitude as if he had eaten a pot of hot coals.Thinking about Gai Nie's notoriety in the Jianghu before, such as offering treasures to betray the country, killing friends for glory, I suddenly feel that there is no credibility at all.So the three of them waved their right arms one after another, and rushed towards Wu Shen again. Although they couldn't get too close, they still knocked down one or two puppets who were besieging Gai Nie.

At this time, another man in sackcloth and tattooed face couldn't hold back anymore, and said loudly: "Many of my subordinates have been killed by demons. Today I will kill this beast and find the medicine to save him!!" Said Then he picked up a crude stone hammer with a wooden handle, knocked down a man and an ox nearby, and approached the center of the fight.The rest of the famous masters in the rivers and lakes are hesitant to each other, not knowing whether it is better to step forward to help.

A few of Tian's disciples jumped out to deal with the running mad bull, and the rest spontaneously formed a circle to protect the two young masters, Wei Zhuang and others.At this moment, the young master of the Tian family also frowned and grasped the sword, thinking: If you don't make a move, I'm afraid you will be looked down upon here.But his elder brother blocked his way with his arm, and said in a deep voice: "Don't be provoked. The sword master is insidious and vicious, and can even kill his best friends. This is his intentional provocation, don't fall into the trap."

The corner of Wei Zhuang's mouth turned up, almost laughing out loud.But he forcibly held back and looked up at the sky—the sky was finally getting brighter, and the area illuminated by the fire was constantly expanding.After being chased and hacked by the crowd, the herd of cows finally died and scattered; but benefiting from this, the living puppets controlled by Wu Shen also suffered a lot of casualties.Not far away, there was an earth-shattering sound of "cracking". It turned out that the beams of a certain burning palace were finally burned and the top collapsed.

Gai Nie's pressure from being besieged decreased, but his internal energy was almost exhausted, and it became more and more difficult to withstand the internal energy of Wu Shen's moves.In order to win quickly, he used Tianwen sword technique "Lie Xing An Chen" to lure the enemy deep, deliberately revealing a flaw.Wu Shen was indeed in the trap, the tip of his stick knocked on his chest like a poisonous snake coming out of a hole.Gai Nie exhaled the remaining air in his lungs, his chest sank, and at the same time he followed up with a move of "Swallowing the Moon", taking the side of the enemy's neck.Unexpectedly, Wu Shen's move was too forceful, even though he used his body-protecting zhenqi to remove most of his strength, he still felt a stagnation in his body, his zhenqi was reversed, he suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, the last move was not satisfactory.But because Wu Shen was used to using poison, when he saw something sprayed out of his opponent's mouth, he subconsciously backed away and dodged, and told Gai Nie to stick to his body instead.After finally reversing the offensive and defensive momentum, Gai Nie immediately rushed forward, and Wu Shen dodged the "Flash Lightning" move, but cut off a section of his vine and wooden staff.Unexpectedly, Wu Shen laughed strangely, turned the section of the vine towards Gai Nie, and pinched the stick with his palm at the place where the spine was embedded—suddenly, a dense black mist like thick smoke emerged from the stick. , and rushed towards the opponent face to face.Gai Nie raised his head and retreated quickly, but he was still too late, and was about to be covered by the black mist; fortunately, a soft curtain fell from the sky, separating him from the danger—it was Wei Zhuang who threw the cloak over at the critical moment, blocking it. one block.

At this time, Wei Zhuang himself rushed into the battle circle, saying: "Mr. Tian, ​​be careful, the demon is about to poison again!" The fog is all wrapped in it.But he didn't love to fight, he threw the cloak far away, and immediately got away and retreated.

Wei Zhuang thought in his heart that he made a rash move, so don't make people suspicious, but Gai Nie turned his head and smiled at him, the sword light in his hand was flying, forcing Wu Shen back.His heart swayed, not knowing what it was like.

Mr. Tian looked at each other, and before he could question Wei Zhuang's behavior, he heard the sound of war drums and people shouting from the direction of the north gate of Chen County.Before they led the retainers to attack the city gate repeatedly but failed, they had to follow Wei Zhuang's advice and retreat first, waiting for the "reinforcement army", but they didn't know that the momentum of the reinforcement army was so strong!Tian Rongyi grasped Wei Zhuang's forearm and exclaimed: "Mr. Wei knows things like a god. Where did the attacking army come from?!"

Wei Zhuang said with a smile: "It's just a group of bandits outside the city. They made an agreement with Wei and used the fire as a sign. Once they see the fire spreading on the top of the mountain, they will immediately set off as a team."

At this moment, his various plans are self-evident.Wu Shen was finally furious, and cursed in his not-so-fluent Chu dialect: "Wei Zhuang! Are you going to betray the king—"

Wei Zhuang said with his hands behind his back: "It's a joke. Don't you know that everything in this city is planned by the King?!"

Wu Shen stared in disbelief, and uttered a string of South Vietnamese words in his mouth, and he could tell that he was swearing just by the tone of his voice.But the slightest breath of distraction in his mind is enough for the Juggernaut.There was a light "嗤——", Yuan Hong pierced into the throat, and blood did not splash out when it was pulled out.A generation of great witches died.

But the moment Ge Nie finished his opponent, all the heroes who had watched the battle for a long time also started to move.Mr. Tian drew his sword out of its sheath, several disciples unleashed hidden weapons, and the tattooed man swung the stone hammer—but none of them could match the speed of one person.

Before Ge Nie could turn around in time, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his head. It was the Yamen acupoint that was pierced by the needle, exactly the same as when Mr. Changping was hit.

He fell slowly and was caught before hitting the ground.The sharp sound of gold and stone and the very light sound of water came from my ears.He still wanted to listen carefully, but he felt a white light appear in front of his eyes, and his consciousness gradually faded away.

Wei Zhuang straightened up, soaked in blood from half his body.A circle of hidden weapons, stone chips, and broken copper swords surrounded the ground.Just now everyone was eager to take the life of the Sword Master, although they lost to Wei Zhuang by a hair, but due to the tight timing and the short distance, many people's desperate sword moves and hidden weapons finally reached Wei Zhuang to greet him.He swept away most of them with the one "follow me who prospers", but due to lack of internal strength, the move could not be fully used, and the remaining half of the sharp weapons had to be carried back.

He hugged the person with one hand, and waved the blood off the shark's teeth with the other.The Tian brothers were horrified and kept apologizing, but Wei Zhuang just smiled and didn't care.

"General Jin must have already entered the city. I would like to invite you to go with me to have a talk."

When Gai Nie woke up, he didn't know how long it had been.He found himself lying on a soft couch, surrounded by stone walls on three sides and an iron fence on one side, it must be a prison somewhere.He was about to sit up when he suddenly felt his lower plate go limp, unable to support himself, and rolled to the ground with a rumble.Only then did he realize that Jianjing, Quze, Huantiao, Fengshi and other key points had each been pierced with a gold needle, which made him unable to move his limbs, but he was conscious.Gai Nie can only move above the neck, so naturally he can't move the sealing needle out by himself.It has to be said that this method is much more effective against a master like him than using shackles.

He heard groans not far away, and when he looked up, there was another dark cell opposite, with a person lying on his side in the middle.Taking a closer look, that person is not Mr. Changping.

Gai Nie sighed, "I didn't expect to be your neighbor at this time."

Mr. Changping's hands and feet were bound by iron chains, his clothes were torn, and his body was stained with blood. He looked much more miserable than him.It was only then that Gai Nie noticed that he was wearing silk and satin. Although he had no boots, there was a thick layer of animal skin under his feet. No wonder he didn't feel any pain when he rolled off the couch just now.Looking around again, there is an aromatherapy burner in the corner of the west head, a branch lamp, and an ebony table; on the table are two plates of fresh fruit, and a gold jug.There is a screen at the east end, and the back is naturally used for changing clothes.With such furnishings, it should be the bedroom of a noble family.But the cell opposite was dirty and smelly, with a pile of straw in one corner and a wooden barrel in the other corner.Fat rats crawled across the ground from time to time.A few coats of realgar powder were sprinkled between the two cells to keep away snakes and insects.This kind of malicious arrangement is obviously the interest of the younger brother.

Mr. Changping reluctantly raised his eyelids, glanced at the opposite side, and let out a cold snort from his nose.

"You and I are in the same situation...although we can't say that we are all prisoners in the final analysis." Ge Nie didn't care about his resentment, and said to himself: "The two masked men who rescued you are from 'Xincheng'. You also It's a well-planned plan. Unfortunately, I guessed it right a long time ago... If Wei Zhuang was planning on someone, the net he laid must be as dense as silk, seamless, and the more the prey struggled, the more entangled they would be. tight."

"If you hadn't cooperated with him from the inside out, Qi wouldn't have come to this point." Jun Changping spat, "At this point, why would the sword master still be hypocritical."

Gai Nie said: "Do you think I cooperated with Wei Zhuang and framed you?"

Mr. Changping snorted and stopped answering.

"Mr. Changping, you are very good at avoiding disadvantages and avoiding disadvantages, so you can't see the whole picture." Gai Nie leaned on the edge of the bed, his limbs were hanging weakly, as long as his zhenqi circulated for a while, he would feel needles. A stabbing pain. "You treat this subordinate as your biggest enemy wholeheartedly, and you want to get rid of him quickly, but Gai is just a pawn that joined halfway in this matter, and can't control the overall situation at all. Hey, in fact, it is not because you blinded your vision, I once thought that everything here was planned by you. The 'terrible' friendship between you and me has become a bait to lure us into the bait."

Mr. Changping was silent for a long time, and finally said hoarsely: "...What do you mean?"

"For example, you didn't kill the magistrate of this county at all, right?"

"Hmph, of course not. Wei Zhuang just forced Qi to admit it. As long as Qi's answer doesn't suit his wishes, he doesn't know what vicious tricks he will use."

"Then who do you think did it?" "It's not you, it's him, what's the point??"

Gai Nie shook his head and said, "I thought you were a smart person. How can you commit murder when I have been detained as you wished? After all, you don't know how the county magistrate died, do you?"

"Could it be..." Mr. Changping recalled Gai Nie's previous words, "You said that my jade ring is the murder weapon. Could it be that he was killed by the fragments of the jade ring cutting his neck vein?"

"He died of poisoning."

Mr. Changping blurted out: "Hidden weapon?"

Gaine shook his head. "You and my junior brother are indeed masters of using hidden weapons. But the county magistrate couldn't find any scars caused by hidden weapons on his body, and there were no eyes, ears, or mouth. In addition... In addition, the time was wrong. When the county magistrate was found to be assassinated, His body was warm and soft, and his death did not exceed one or two hours; and my junior brother has been at the distance between the next wall at night from the turn of Xuhai to Yinshi, and he couldn't make a move. Therefore, no matter how suspicious I was before, I can only do it next time Treat you as the only suspect."

Mr. Changping wanted to say something, but unfortunately he broke out into a violent cough again.

Gai Nie continued: "Later, I discovered by accident that the inside of this jade ring had been impregnated with poison. Could it be that someone put this jade ring in the place where the county magistrate lived, and he took it to the study for careful study out of curiosity. He accidentally smashed the Jade Jue, and he was poisoned? However, the mastermind behind this incident was extremely far-sighted. Jue’s people are not county magistrates, who else could they be? At this moment, I remembered the letter that ‘they’ sent to you, Mr. Changping—”

"letter?"

"The letter said that if you agree to them, you will wear something on your body—now I think it must be the piece of jade—if you refuse to agree, you will smash it and put it under the patio. Have you ever wondered why they want you to do this?"

The resentment in Mr. Changping's eyes was gradually replaced by surprise and inquiry, "Jue, it means decisiveness, determination. Smashing the jade ring naturally means that there is no conspiracy." Break the jade into pieces, the poison will leak out, and it will take your life in an instant!!"

"In this world, there is no such thing as a potent poison that kills at the first touch. Generally, poisons that can enter the body through the skin take a long time to take effect. The so-called 'disease in the interstitial veins' can be removed by soup ironing and needle stones. Experts It can also be suppressed through internal force. The extremely fast-acting poison often either sees blood to seal the throat, or enters through the seven orifices, especially the entrance and nose. You are also a suspicious person. If you see smoke coming out after the jade is broken, you must You will hold your breath and escape far away, so as not to be poisoned; besides, you may also hand over this matter to your subordinates. In addition, you were in Xianyang at the time, and you were under surveillance. Some people suspect that the people in the net can trace the jade carving and jade quality to a certain shop in Xianyang, or a merchant from Chu; the letters and the people who passed the news may be exposed."

"Then, poison is hidden in this jade..." Mr. Chang Ping rolled his eyes with difficulty, and said, "Could it be something that will explode slowly?"

"This is the cleverness of the layout." Ge Nie took a deep breath. "Four years ago, I happened to be in Chen. At a banquet, my younger brother mentioned a poison called Zhenyu Qianye. I remember what they said at the beginning: This poison came from countless poisonous feathers. , After three years of refining, the refining process cannot see a little light, otherwise all previous efforts will be wasted; however, once refined, the power is incomparable, known as "when the day is right, the city will be slaughtered". Judging from these words, light has a special effect on this poison General meaning; I speculate that light is the condition that promotes the full potential of Zhen Yu Qianye's toxicity, so it must be at the "right time" to "slaughter the city". Similarly, when refining medicine, if you come into contact with light too early , the poison is released too early, and the refining will fail. A small amount of poisonous feather Qianye is poured into this jade ring. So even if you find a little liquid medicine leaking from the broken jade piece, try it with a silver needle , and no poison was tested. After being placed under the patio, the shards will be exposed to direct sunlight at noon, and the poison will be released. Similarly, when someone smashes the jade ring at night, there is no toxicity; only the next morning The county magistrate found the broken jade and lit a lamp to observe carefully before being poisoned."

"...Wei, Zhuang." Mr. Changping gritted his teeth, and in the end he could only utter two words.

Gai Nie was still muttering, "This kind of poison is extremely valuable. He is willing to use it on you, probably because he guessed that you would not reject them. And it must not be his original intention to kill a county magistrate. Yes. , because his arrangement was completely destroyed by you; you silenced the assassin of the state of Chu with only one person, so many plans had to be temporarily changed-but he is good at adapting after all, even if it was Wu Shen who was originally used to kill him. The formation, in the end, became his help..."

Mr. Changping couldn't help but interrupted: "You're right, don't you guys really be accomplices??"

Gai Nie looked at his paralyzed hands and feet, and smiled wryly, "Then why am I still here, next to you?"

Mr. Changping suddenly laughed, "Of course you are no longer worth using. Hahahahahaha...Gai Nie, you are a self-proclaimed hero, but now you are just a discarded pawn."

Before the words were finished, there was a sudden rustling of skirts not far away.A beautiful maid came slowly carrying a food box, followed by two people dressed as jailers.The two opened the cell door and stood guard on both sides.The maid put down the food box, and brought out a few fragrant dishes from the inside - chopped mutton, fresh fish with thorns removed, rice porridge stewed in chicken broth, peeled peaches and citrus, and then one by one The wooden spoon was fed to Gai Nie's mouth.

Gai Nie had no choice but to be hungry, so he could only swallow one mouthful, and said vaguely, "Thank you."

After eating, Gai Nie saw that the maid was packing up her things and was about to leave, so she hurriedly asked, "I wonder if your master is free to meet you?"

The maid shook her head without saying a word, and retreated outside the door after saluting.Two jailers locked the cell door on Ge Nie's side.One of them casually took out a cake from his pocket, threw it on the floor of the opposite cell, turned and left.After they left, Mr. Changping desperately stretched his arms to reach them, and then hooked the cake into his arms, and began to bite impatiently.

Gai Nie stared at the silent backs of the three of them, secretly thinking that it was a pity.He has not seen the whole picture of Wei Zhuang's huge layout, and he can only confirm some doubts.Although Mr. Changping doesn't know much, he can give some hints from the other side.He recalled the previous conversation, turned his head and said, "You just said about abandoning children—"

Mr. Changping stared at him viciously, his eyes seemed to want to pounce on him and eat him.
