【Kuan Xin】Snake and Venom

In the early morning of that day, Yuan Zhongxin woke up suddenly, his breathing was short of breath, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his heart was beating extremely violently, as if being tightly grasped by a ghost claw, which made him very uncomfortable.

He just had a nightmare.

In the dream, everyone died, and under the blood-stained mountains and rivers, he was left alone, lingering on his last breath, looking at the pile of corpses in front of him with despair, like a trapped animal, he wanted to kill himself and go with them, but He couldn't die, with a sword strike, the wound had healed before it oozes blood.

Afterwards, Yuan Zhongxin gradually became insane, he slashed at himself with a cold light and cold sword, his body was stripped off, and blood flowed horizontally, he was like a ghost crawling from hell, he was obviously in pain, But still can't get relief.

Until he woke up, that kind of despair still followed like a shadow, condensed into a hammer, and broke Yuan Zhongxin's bones. He was so frightened that he seemed to be able to clearly feel the pain of the flesh and blood in the dream being chopped down to the skeleton bit by bit. Yuan Zhongxin closed his eyes heavily, forcing himself to calm down.

A quarter of an hour later, he opened his eyes again, the panic in them was gone, and they became much clearer. At this moment, he realized that Wang Kuan was no longer in the room, and everything around him was empty, and everything was quiet. A stick of almost burnt incense was lit on the table, and white smoke curled up.

Yuan Zhongxin got out of bed, put on a piece of clothes casually, pushed open the door and walked out, Ba Jin and the fairy outside the door immediately surrounded him, rubbing Yuan Zhongxin's waist uneasily, he thought that there would be people in the backyard. There were Wei Yanei and Banjin, but the backyard was empty at this moment, and the surroundings were dead silent, without any sound.

At this time, the sun was shrouded by layers of dark clouds, but the weather was sultry, like the eve of heavy rain.

Yuan Zhongxin's heart skipped a beat for no reason, and he suddenly felt an ominous premonition. He clenched his fists tightly, frowning because of his restlessness, and hurriedly ran towards the main hall with a wolf and a deer. In the main hall, I saw Xiaojing and Pei Yan sitting anxiously on the wooden chairs. When they heard the movement, they raised their heads together. Xiaojing hurriedly shouted: "Brother Yuan!"

Yuan Zhongxin saw that the two looked a little pale, and became more and more frightened. He asked, "What's the matter? Where is Wang Kuan? Where are the others?"

Xiaojing pursed her lips, and was about to cry, but she held back, and said with fear: "People from Daxia came, they killed many ordinary people, and threw all the corpses of ordinary people to Brother Wang, Sister Zhao and the others Go home!"

Yuan Zhongxin immediately felt as if he was in an ice cellar, and his hair stood up. He asked anxiously, "What's going on here?"

Pei Yan frowned tightly, thinking of those people who came to call for help this morning, she became flustered: "We don't know exactly what happened, it's not even dawn today, so Brother Wang and his servants came to say , many corpses were thrown into the house, all of them belonged to ordinary people, and all their clothes were stripped off. Master Wei and the others found that the logo of Daxia Yinbing Pavilion was carved with a sharp knife on those corpses. There are people from Xia, Brother Wang and the others are busy dealing with this matter."

When it's still dark...

Yuan Zhongxin's face darkened immediately: "Why didn't you wake me up?!"

Xiaojing replied aggrievedly: "Brother Wang refused, he said that we are not allowed to go in and disturb you..."

Hearing this, Yuan Zhongxin lost his temper immediately, but the situation was urgent, and it was not when he was playing his temper, so he could only tell him: "If this kind of thing happens again in the future, don't listen to Wang Kuan, come and tell me right away, I know Yet?"

Xiaojing and Pei Yan looked at each other and nodded without hesitation.

Yuan Zhongxin: "What about the Daxia people, have you caught them?"

Xiao Jing shook his head: "It doesn't seem to be. Now Master Fan and the others are busy arranging for the family members of the dead at home. Those family members are very emotional and can't ask any clues at all."

Yuan Zhongxin frowned: "Let's go, let's go to Wang Kuan's house to see the situation first."

Xiao Jing hurriedly stopped Yuan Zhongxin: "Brother Yuan, we can't leave, the gate of Qizhai is guarded by Brother Wang's private soldiers, without his password, we can't get out."

Yuan Zhongxin's face was ashen, and he yelled furiously: "Damn! What the hell is Wang Kuan thinking!"

Knowing that these big Xia Yin soldiers are all coming for him, but still not letting him go out to solve the problem, what kind of trouble is this!

The more Yuan Zhongxin thought about it, the more anxious he rushed out of the main hall and walked towards the door of Qizhai. Sure enough, as Xiaojing said, several men in green cloth and plain clothes were guarding the door with long swords in their hands. Indifferent, seeing Yuan Zhongxin wanted to go out, he raised the Leng Jian without saying a word, and blocked the door.

Yuan Zhongxin said coldly: "Get out of the way!"

One of the men with a scar on his face responded flatly: "We are the prince's army under the name of the prince, and everything is under the order of the prince. Without his order, the subordinates are not allowed to let anyone in or out for seven days. fast."

Yuan Zhongxin gritted his teeth: "I said, get out of the way!"

The man didn't give in at all, his attitude was obvious.

Seeing that Yuan Zhongxin's attitude was not friendly, Ba Jin and the fairy stared at the man with a very humane look. Yuan Zhongxin raised his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes warningly: "Did the prince tell you not to hurt me a bit?" A penny?"

The man replied: "Yes, and this is a death order."

Yuan Zhongxin licked his back molars, his expression was cold: "Is this order to die before the order to guard the gate?"

The man paused, but still replied: "Yes."

Yuan Zhongxin sneered coldly: "Then if you hurt me half a point when I broke through the door, which order will your princely army obey?"

The man hesitated, and finally understood the purpose of Yuan Zhongxin's words, he hesitated and said again and again: "The first one."

Yuan Zhongxin nodded with satisfaction: "So, do you still want to stop me now?"

The man secretly gritted his teeth, lowered his head and said, "Even so, this subordinate cannot let Mr. Yuan out of this door."

Yuan Zhongxin was furious: "Elm head! Get out of the way! Don't force me to do anything to you!"

The man persisted: "If Mr. Yuan insists on going out of this door, please ask Mr. Yuan to give his subordinates a good time first."

Yuan Zhongxin was stunned: "What?"

The man said: "Master Wang said, if Mr. Yuan goes out of this door, it means that we are not doing our job well, and the prince's army will not collect waste. If we fail to complete the task, we will die."

Yuan Zhongxin was almost heartbroken by anger, pointing at the man with trembling fingertips, unable to say a word.

The man said respectfully: "If Mr. Yuan still insists on leaving Qizhai, please do it. I will never resist."

Yuan Zhongxin glared angrily, and stomped on the grass on the ground to vent his anger.

Pei Yan stepped forward cautiously and persuaded: "Brother Yuan, don't worry, Brother Wang and the others are probably coming back soon, let's wait for them to come back and talk about it."

Seeing Yuan Zhongxin who was furious, Pei Yan didn't dare to do anything wrong, and obediently called Yuan Zhongxin "Brother Yuan".

Not urgent?

Can he be in a hurry? !God knows where those murderous Yin soldiers are hiding now!If it is not found out as soon as possible, the death toll will only continue to rise!

It's okay for Wang Kuan to mess around alone, Yuan Boji should have witnessed him giving orders, but he didn't even have a word of persuasion, and he followed him around!

Now there are very few people who can use this huge secret pavilion, and they are all taken over by Wang Kuan!

Just when Yuan Zhongxin was getting more and more angry, a sultry wind suddenly surged in Qizhai, and the surrounding silence became a little strange. Bajin immediately bent down and growled in the direction of the door. Released his defensive stance completely, the keen Yuan Zhongxin suddenly smelled the danger hidden in the air, his pupils suddenly dilated, and before he could say the word "danger", he heard the thick "puchi" sound of the blade sinking into the flesh and blood .

In an instant, the blood spilled on the mud, staining the green grass into a dazzling red.

Yuan Zhongxin, Xiaojing and Pei Yan watched those princely troops fall straight on the ground, lifeless and dying.

Yuan Zhongxin reacted very quickly. He took away the sword of the man who had talked to him just now, and stood in front of him. He stepped back step by step and came in front of Xiaojing and Pei Yan. He glanced around vigilantly and nervously. At the door, he shouted sharply: "It's no skill to hide in the dark and kill people, if you have the skills, come out and fight with me!"

Not long after he finished speaking, an extremely familiar voice sounded harsh and unpleasant: "Yuan Zhongxin, I haven't seen you in three years, but you haven't changed at all, and you are still the same arrogant and annoying!"

Yuan Zhongxin's eyes widened, the hand holding the sword trembled secretly, and even Xiao Jing's face suddenly turned pale.

This voice... this voice, he will never forget it in his life!

Yuan Zhongxin gritted his teeth, his eyes immediately turned scarlet, and he roared: "Lin—— invite!"

Suddenly, four figures came out from different directions, walked into Qizhai stepping on the corpses of several princely troops, the first one was a young girl in night clothes, with most of her face covered by a grimace mask on the right side. His eyes were distorted ferociously, and he stared at Yuan Zhongxin viciously, wishing to step forward and tear him up immediately. The other three were two men and one woman. Judging from their stature, they should all be older than Lin Yao, and all of them were of the best appearance. His eyes were sharp, and he sized up Yuan Zhongxin and the others with ill intentions.

Yuan Zhongxin's face was covered with a layer of frost, and he said with murderous intent: "Lin Yao, you dare to come!"

Lin Yao laughed suddenly, his laughter was sharp: "Yuan Zhongxin! Of course I want to come! If I don't come, how can I kill you--you are lucky. Three years ago, half of your life was shot and you could still recover a bad life. You really answered that sentence, and the disaster will last for thousands of years!"

Yuan Zhongxin sneered contemptuously: "The scourge? In front of you, I dare not be—" His eyes turned, and from the moment Lin Yao appeared, he noticed the black and gold grimace mask, and Yuan Zhongxin vaguely guessed What, he said sarcastically: "Why, knowing that I have no face to face others, why did you deliberately wear a mask to come?"

Lin Yao was so angry that she was trembling all over. Her face was destroyed, all thanks to Yuan Zhongxin. She valued her face the most on weekdays, and it was her face that she was most proud of. Unexpectedly, Ning Qi thought that she failed to bring Yuan Zhongxin back, and just a random order ruined the right side of her face.

She was going to be sentenced to death at the Yinbing Pavilion, but Ning Qi suddenly arranged a new task, which was to rob Yuan Zhongxin back to the Yinbing Pavilion again. Before leaving for Kaifeng, Ning Qi warned her again that if If she can bring Yuan Zhongxin back, even if she makes up for it, if she can't, she can do it herself.

Lin Yao knew in her heart that if she failed in this mission again, she would definitely lose her left cheek.

Yuan Zhongxin has always looked down on her, and now it is even more so: "Or, your pavilion master thought that you completed your mission well three years ago, and gave you a reward?"

Lin Yao was so angry that he pulled out the long whip from his waist and was about to greet Yuan Zhongxin, but was stopped by the coquettish woman behind him, only to hear her speak casually, but every word was full of bloodlust: " Yao Luo, what's there to be angry about? If you want me to say, you kill the two little girls behind Yuan Zhongxin first, and Yuan Zhongxin and his pets will be handed over to me. Come back with us."

As soon as these words came out, the murderous intent in the air became even worse. Xiao Jing and Pei Yan's faces turned pale immediately. What they were afraid of was not that they would die, but that Lin Yao would use the two of them as a bargaining chip to blackmail Yuan Zhongxin. If they go on, they will drag Yuan Zhongxin down!

Yuanzhong Xinyun raised his eyebrows lightly: "It's easy to say, Wang Kuan and the others will be back soon, and it's not certain who will kill who by then."

His face was calm as usual, but his heart was full of anxiety. Although his body had recovered, he hadn't practiced kung fu for three years, and he only held his sword again in the last few days. Facing the sudden Lin Yao, he had no chance of winning. He was even more helpless when three shady soldiers who didn't know the details came.

Even if there were eight catties, if they really wanted to start a fight, the three of them, Yuan Zhongxin, would definitely be the one with the heaviest casualties.

The coquettish woman sneered, her beautiful eyes flashing with a fierce cold light: "Yuan Zhongxin, don't deceive yourself, they are busy going out of the city to check the clues we deliberately left when we killed people, do you think they will be able to do it for a while? Hurry back?"

"You should give up earlier, when they come back, you don't know how many times you are going to die!"

Yuan Zhongxin remained silent, and coldly glanced at the alluring woman.

Lin Yao thought about it carefully, and seemed to agree with that coquettish woman. Yuan Zhongxin was scheming, and she had learned it three years ago. If Kui Yi were to deal with Yuan Zhongxin this time, it would be considered a failure. In the end, she won't be the one who bears the brunt, after all, revenge is a matter of long-term future.Thinking about it this way, Lin Yao Banlu's mouth parted into a creepy smile: "Just do what Sister Kuiyi said."

Kui Yi glared at the two expressionless men beside her, and said disdainfully: "You two stinky men should just watch, don't make trouble for my sister, you know?"

The two men retreated indifferently to a certain big tree, watching all this with cold eyes.

Seeing the extremely unfriendly Lin Yao and Kui Yi approaching step by step, Xiao Jing was terrified and couldn't wait to say: "Brother Yuan, run quickly, you can't fall into their hands!"

Yuan Zhongxin stared coldly at the two women in front of him, while assessing the gap between himself and them, he said in a calm voice: "Pei Yan, when I yell to run later, you immediately take Xiaojing to the backyard. "

Pei Yan disagreed: "But..."

Yuan Zhongxin turned his head slightly, and glanced casually at Pei Yan, who was immediately speechless and could only respond in silence.
