After a lot of twists and turns, after arriving at the top of the Forbidden City, Jiang Chi saw that there were a few more tables and stools in the original open space.
"Brother Jiang, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you so much." Lu Xiaofeng walked out from behind a hidden wall, and when he saw that the person who came was Jiang Chi, he changed his guard and smiled heartily.
Hearing the sound, Jiang Chi smiled at Lu Xiaofeng.
"Brother Jiang received a lot of money from receiving orders recently, and Hua Qitong's small attic can hardly fit it." Lu Xiaofeng said, intentionally or unintentionally, glanced at Gong Jiu who was standing beside him.If King Taiping hadn't sent 2 taels of silver, I'm afraid the small attic where Jiangchi took orders would not have collapsed.
"I'm bothering Brother Lu these days. If Brother Lu doesn't mind, I can give you a tenth of the money." Jiang Chi thought for a moment, then smiled softly.
"How bad it is!" Lu Xiaofeng stroked those two delicate beards, and silently calculated how much one-tenth of the silver in the attic was.
The tables and stools placed on the side are all engraved with words, the table is full of wine and meat, and the stools are covered with snow-white cushions.A piece of white paper was pasted on the wall beside the table and stool, and the red characters on it were written in blood.
"If you sit on a stool that doesn't belong to you, you will die within a stick of incense." Jiang Chi walked to the wall, looked at the white paper on it, and read.
Out of doubt, Jiang Chi reached out and touched the words on it. The moment he withdrew his fingertips, Jiang Chi leaned forward and smelled it. He read it correctly, it was indeed written in blood.
"When I came to the top of the Forbidden City, I saw everything in front of me and wondered who did it." Seeing Jiang Chi's puzzled face, Lu Xiaofeng stepped forward and said softly.
"When I saw the food on the table just now, I thought Brother Lu prepared it. But when I saw the bloody paper, I knew it wasn't Brother Lu who did it." Jiang Chi said, seeing Lu Xiaofeng's gratified face, continued. : "Although you are boring, you are not so boring."
"..."
Lu Xiaofeng's gratified expression just now froze.After the corners of his mouth trembled, just as Lu Xiaofeng wanted to refute, he heard footsteps behind him.
Not the footsteps of one person, but the footsteps of a group of people.
Jiang Chi heard the sound and looked up.Yu Luocha and Ximen Chuixue walked in front, and behind them were Shangguan Jinhong, Sun Baifa and Huamanlou.After that, there were people he had never seen before.
"Brother Jiang." Ximen Chuuxue looked at Jiang Chi in front of him and said respectfully.
"He's just a brat who doesn't understand anything. He outperformed you because he used other means. I can't look down on this kind of person the most in my life. Why do you respect him so much?" Yu Luocha asked Ximen Chuuxue With a respectful face, he fights the injustice for him.
"Brother Jiang's strength, I know very well." Ximen Chuuxue frowned, looking at Yu Luocha with some doubts in his eyes, he didn't know why Yu Luocha slandered Jiangchi so much.
Jiang Chi was not angry when he heard what Yu Luocha and Ximen Chuuxue said.After all, this person had a bad attitude when he met him from the very beginning.If Yu Luocha praised him, it would be even more ghostly.
"Good brother, can the competition on the night of the full moon be brought forward?" Gong Jiu pondered for a moment, and seeing that Ye Gucheng was still in the future, he first discussed with Jiang Chi.
"I'm afraid we'll have to wait until Ye Gucheng arrives." Jiang Chi glanced around, but there was no sign of Ye Gucheng here.
"You want to advance?" Ximen Chuuxue pursed his lips lightly when he heard the words, and said seriously: "Ye Gucheng is still in Wanmei Villa, if you make up your mind, I can go find him now, you only need to give me an hour. "
"Xiaoxue!" Yu Luocha said with a deep expression, taking Ximen Chuuxue's shoulders and sternly.
Seeing Yu Luocha's gloomy face, Jiang Chi frowned slightly.The person in front of him has high hopes for Ximen Chuuxue, if he asks Ximen Chuuxue to find Ye Gucheng, wouldn't it destroy other people's hope?
Although the old man in front of him didn't look like an old man, Yu Luocha was a senior after all.Thinking of this, Jiang Chi sighed softly, "I don't need to bother you, everything depends on fate. If the Lord Ye comes when the moon is full, then there will be a competition when the moon is full. If you help me run errands, I'm afraid old man Yu will He would vomit blood and die in anger."
However, if Yu Luocha slandered him in a low voice in front of so many people, it would not be too much for him to call Yu Luosha an old man a few times.
"Who do you call old man?" Yu Luocha listened to the first half of Jiang Chi's sentence, and just felt a little more comfortable, but the second half made him lose his temper.
"You are Ximen Chuuxue's father, aren't you an old man, are you still a young man? Don't you feel ashamed to call you brother?" Jiang Chi smiled slightly and joked.
When Ximen Chuuxue heard the words, a smile appeared on his face that was originally as cold as ice.
Ximen Chuuxue had never seen anyone who dared to speak to Yu Luocha like this. Outsiders would be a little afraid when they met Yu Luocha, but Jiang Chi not only called Yu Luocha an old man, but also turned it around and taunted him.
When Yu Luocha heard this, the veins on his forehead twitched.However, there are many people in the surrounding rivers and lakes, if Jiang Chi's voice is not quiet, I am afraid that he will pick off the skin of the person in front of him and make wine.After Yu Luocha calmed down for a moment, he sneered and said: "I don't care about you. If you win Ye Gucheng in a while, no matter what you call me, I will answer. But if you lose, tell everyone in the world that you rely on Heretic skills are on par with Xiaoxue."
"It's up to you." Jiang Chi's smile faded a little.
Yu Luocha loves his son eagerly, he can understand.However, if it is said that he and Ximen Chuuxue tied due to improper means, then he will definitely not admit it.In the competition with Ye Gucheng, he will win no matter what.
When Ximen Chuuxue heard the words, the corners of his raised lips formed a line.He didn't like anyone betting on him, and he didn't like others not daring to say anything to him because of Yu Luocha.After a moment of silence, Ximen Chuuxue turned around and prepared to leave the place.
"Xiaoxue, where are you going?" Yu Luocha, who was on the side, saw it and asked in doubt.
"Wanmei Villa, look for Ye Gucheng." Ximen Chuixue said coldly.
"..."
Yu Luocha didn't say any more, he was well aware of Ximen Chuuxue's temperament, so it would be useless to say any more at this time.After thinking for a while that Jiang Chi and Ye Gucheng would lose in the competition, the original displeasure faded a bit.
"Whose name is engraved on this stool?" A man in black was about to sit down when he saw a name written on the stool.After seeing the white paper on the wall, the man in black laughed and continued: "Who is making fun of us? You just sit on the stool with your own name carved on it. Who do you think you are!"
Hearing the sound, Jiang Chi glanced at the stool the man in black was sitting on. The name of Huamanlou was written on the corner of the stool.
For some reason, he always felt that most of the people here were not kind.If the person who posted the blank paper wants to kill someone, he must be present.But all around are people with high martial arts skills, whoever makes a move will cause others to notice.
After the black-shirted man sat down, picked up a glass of wine and swallowed it, he saw that everyone around him was staring at him, and he was a little uncomfortable and said, "What are you looking at? Isn't this alive and well? I told you, then The blank paper must be someone tricking us, so there is no need to take it seriously."
Jiang Chi's eyes darkened a little, but he didn't think the person who posted the white paper was joking with them.Just in case, he had to wait for the time for a stick of incense to pass before going to sit and rest.
"Brother, if the stool isn't weird, then the things on the table will be weird." Seeing more and more people eating on the stool, Gong Jiu smiled softly, and whispered in Jiang Chi's ear.
When Jiang Chi heard the words, his eyes lit up.After thinking for a while, he looked at the people who hadn't sat down.
"Brother Jiang, do you think we should sit or not? In fact, it's not impossible to stand until night." Lu Xiaofeng hesitated after pulling Hua Manlou to Jiang Chi's side.He is very curious about what is written on the white paper.
If you really don't sit at the place where your name is engraved, will you really die after a stick of incense?Lu Xiaofeng frowned slightly, looking at the people around him, he felt that this matter was very strange.
"Don't sit." With a smile in Jiang Chi's eyes, he continued in a voice that only a few of them could hear: "It's not too late for us to sit again after the time for a stick of incense has passed."
"Okay." Lu Xiaofeng nodded.
The time for a stick of incense has become extremely long at this time.Some of the people sitting on the stool didn't take it seriously, while others were sweating profusely, fearing that something might happen to them.
"I don't think there's anything wrong at all." Shangguan Jinhong raised his head, looked at the sky, and continued in a rather displeased tone: "The time for burning incense has passed, why don't you see anyone with something to do?"
The people sitting on the stools heard that the time for a stick of incense had passed, and they all relaxed. Those who hadn't dared to use their chopsticks to eat and drink at this time started to eat with their chopsticks one after another.
When Jiang Chi saw it, his expression tightened.The person who was seated first, his eyes gradually became dull, his complexion gradually darkened, it was obvious that he had been poisoned.But after a while, the man's face returned to blood color, but at the moment the blood color recovered, the man in black fell down from the stool.
"Ajiu!"
Gong Jiu obviously didn't sit down, but he still called out for some reason.The man in black shirt who fell on the ground was bleeding from all seven orifices, and his body convulsed.Within half a stick of incense, the man in black had lost all his blood and fell to the ground motionless.
When Gong Jiu heard Jiang Chi calling him suddenly, he was stunned for a while, and after turning his head to see Jiang Chi's worried expression, he suddenly realized something, and after a light smile, he replied: "Brother, I'm here."
"..."
Hearing Gong Jiu's response, Jiang Chi let go of his worry, he still regarded Gong Jiu as Ah Jiu who was once timid and afraid of death.
The moment the man in the black shirt fell, the others were not unharmed, but there was no pattern for those who fell on the stool.
A gust of wind blew by, and the smell of blood around made those who hadn't sat down feel sick.Shangguan Jinhong covered his nose in disgust, and after looking through everyone's corpses, he frowned and said: "Not only people who didn't sit on the right stool died here, even those who sat on the right one died."
"So the food is poisonous?" Jiang Chi lowered his eyes, looked at the food on the table, and said indifferently.
"Maybe, for the sake of our own lives, don't touch these meals." Shangguan Jin Hong sighed, knocked the table close to him to the ground, and said.
"Huh?" Jiang Chi saw it and smiled softly.
"But I'm hungry." Jiang Chi walked to a table of untouched food, picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks, and put it in his mouth.
Seeing this, Gong Jiu's expression suddenly tightened.Just as Gong Jiu wanted to go to Jiang Chi's side to feel his pulse, Jiang Chi looked up at him and said softly, "Wait for another stick of incense."
Hearing this, Lu Xiaofeng's heart ached, he only felt that what Jiang Chi did was really wrong, this man actually bet his own life.
"Brother Jiang, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you so much." Lu Xiaofeng walked out from behind a hidden wall, and when he saw that the person who came was Jiang Chi, he changed his guard and smiled heartily.
Hearing the sound, Jiang Chi smiled at Lu Xiaofeng.
