Heavenly King's Mansion.
Ouyang Wudi has been following Pang Biao into the battle for a long time. Others can't watch the battle in the stone room, so they can only wait for the two to come out outside to know the outcome.It was already dark, and the internal combustion lamps in the mansion were illuminated. Xiaodie stared at the exit through the lights. The shaking flames made her feel that the second level was unpredictable, thrilling and hidden. Judging the source of the situation according to the situation, if it is yourself, you are absolutely not sure.
"Is it too quiet inside?" Yuan Xiaodie wondered.Seeing that Pang Biao was also a sword wielder and his skills were definitely not weak, she thought that if the two met, there would be some sounds of swords being exchanged, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Don't worry," Sima Wuqing was full of confidence in Ouyang Wudi, "We will have the result after a while."
Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, two people came out from the entrance one after the other. Both of them had several holes in their clothes, and they were expressionless. It was impossible to tell at a glance which one was the winner.
Pang Biao walked to the side of the Heavenly King's Mansion and apologized, "I lost."
Everyone was in an uproar, the gray-clothed man who was talking to Ouyang Wudi in the front hall was the most unbelievable, he pulled Pang Biao and asked: "Xiaosi, your swordsmanship and body skills are all top-notch, and you have never been in this battle of thousands of twists and turns." Defeated, how could..."
"Skills are not as good as others, so I should admit defeat." Pang Biao answered candidly, "I thought that if I could prevent Ouyang Wudi's reverse sword move, I would be able to take advantage of the situation and subdue him. Ni Jian's tricks are integrated into his body skills, and he did the opposite by surprise, he has adapted to the position and changes of the stone room in a short period of time, and it will be a matter of time before I lose."
"Brother Pang, thank you," Ouyang Wudi humbly said, "I made a mistake to lead to a dead end, but brother Pang was upright and didn't sneak attack, so I barely won."
Xiaodie could already imagine the tens of rounds of wits and bravery between the two of them just now based on the conversation between the two of them.
Of course she admired Sima Wuqing, if she was somewhat worried, Sima Wuqing had no doubts about Ouyang Wudi's victory, not only this time, Xiaodie sincerely envied the friendship between the two.
The atmosphere around suddenly became tense, and Xiaodie immediately realized what was going on. It was his turn to be the guardian of the third pass. Lu Batian unbuttoned his cloak and sleeves and flew away from the main seat. In front of the three of them, Xiaodie marveled at Lu Batian's profound internal strength, his feet were firmly nailed as if they were about to crack the ground, there was no flaw at all.
"Boy surnamed Sima, it's your turn." Lu Batian said, "The third level is 'Heavenly King sits in charge', I will personally try your weight. The content of the test is very simple," said Lu Batian, pushing out the right hand palm, "If your palm strength can make this old man take two steps back, then you will win."
Everyone in the Heavenly King's Mansion showed victorious smiles, but Xiaodie had a bad heart. Sima Wuqing was good at fast, ruthless and accurate swordsmanship, but Lu Batian proposed a direct competition of internal strength. Don't give in, isn't this bullying the small with the big?
"Are you okay?" Even Ouyang Wudi asked lightly.
Sima said ruthlessly: "If you can't do it, you have to try. I can't let down the efforts of you and Miss Xiaodie."
Ouyang Wudi patted him on the shoulder: "I believe in you, just leave it to me."
Sima smiled ruthlessly, handed the sword in his hand to Ouyang Wudi for safekeeping, stepped forward a few steps and walked up to Lu Batian: "Senior, this junior has offended you." Concentrating on his luck, he also swung his right palm to push Lu Batian.
All eyes were on the two of them.
Hearing a crackling sound, the palms of the two met head-on, and felt a powerful skill gushing out from the opponent's body, and he could only resist with all his strength, their bodies were shaking slightly, Sima Wuqing was obviously at a disadvantage, but he insisted He didn't take a step away.However, Lu Batian is more than capable. Compared with Sima ruthlessly gritting his teeth and insisting, he can still speak.
Lu Batian provoked: "What's the matter? I only have this ability, but I can't pass the third level!"
Sima Wuqing let out a clear cry, as if he had used most of his skill to resist the palm force, Lu Batian's expression became serious, and he also strengthened his palm force by body reflex.Facing palms was extremely exhausting, and after a while, both of them began to show signs of fatigue.
Xiaodie thought, one-handed competition can't gain advantage, and whether she can win or not depends on how Sima Wuqing plans to use his vacant left hand. She suddenly wanted to hear Ouyang Wudi's opinion, but when she turned around to ask The eyes that saw Ouyang Wudi were not on Sima Wuqing, at this moment he was more like a falcon searching for prey, looking around for something.
Xiaodie quickly realized that just now when Ouyang Wudi said "Leave it to me", Xiaodie secretly felt that "it" definitely did not refer to the sword, and must refer to something else.
Seeing that Sima Wuqing and Lu Batian were about to exhaust themselves to the point of losing both, someone in the dark finally made a move.
Ouyang Wudi also moved almost at the same time, flying up.
With the reverse sword out of its sheath, it knocked down the hidden weapon flying towards the two from the darkness with just one blow.Xiaodie stepped forward and saw that they were two poisonous darts that sealed their throats with blood. Such hidden weapons are the deadliest when they are fired silently at night.Ouyang Wudi caught the direction in an instant, obviously he had been waiting for a long time.
Lu Batian and Sima Wuqing were also waiting for a long time. The two withdraw their palms tacitly at the same time. Ouyang Wudi threw Sima Wuqing's sword upwards. The sword pointed at a man in black hiding in the crowd.
So fast!Xiaodie was amazed, she could clearly see that after the Battle of Yemapo, the two men's physical skills and skills had improved significantly compared to before, was it because they were unable to exert their full strength due to the influence of the long-term injury to the Seven Killers, or was it only after the battle of Yemapo In a short period of time, Xiaodie had received the advice of an expert to improve her to such an extent. Xiaodie didn't know about it. She only thought that she must tell Yanling about it after she went back.
At the same time, she also understands the seriousness of the matter. If she is not careful and gets caught by the traitor, no matter which side the poisonous needle hurts, it will definitely provoke a sharp conflict between the Heavenly King's Mansion and the Central Plains Escort.
Lu Batian directly asked by name: "Hong Hai, this old man treats you well, why do you want to put this old man to death?"
The disciples of the Heavenly King's Mansion saw that the owner and the uninvited guest were standing on the same front, and they were targeting their fellow disciples, and they were all shocked by this sudden turn of events.
When the person called Hong Hai saw that the incident was exposed, instead of begging for mercy with a guilty conscience, he became even more arrogant: "Old man, who made you stubborn, and refused to obey Tieyiwei for a long time. I was ordered by the second rank of Tieyiwei, Lurking in the village to take your dog's life, seeing what happened tonight, how did you expect to lose to you, kill or cut to your heart's content!"
He showed an arrogance that was completely opposite to his usual arrogance, and he spoke rudely to Lu Batian, which naturally aroused public anger.
Sima ruthlessly said: "What about the second stage of the battle?"
Hong Hai snorted coldly: "You can dispatch troops in the dark and wait to kill this place! I don't know, this place has been heavily ambushed by the second-rank leader!"
Everyone hurriedly looked around, and suddenly heard a voice from the courtyard wall: "Ambush you mentioned, are these people?"
Then six archers in night clothes were kicked down by three people, each in charge of two. Xiaodie saw the three heroic figures also falling into the courtyard, and said happily: "Why are you?"
The people who came were Cai Hanying, Zhao Mengjiao and Ye Zhenyu, which Xiaodie did not expect.
She thought about many possibilities in an instant, the three of them could leave the residence and come here to support, her first reaction was that Yan Ling was fine, but since she was fine, why didn't Yan Ling come, and Hu Tu, Jiang Xiong, they Where.
Ouyang Wudi said to Hong Hai: "It seems that the second gear did not fulfill his promise, but ran away and abandoned you."
Hong Hai's face was ashamed, he closed his eyes and waited to die, but Sima Wuqing didn't do anything, but cast a look at Lu Batian. Lu Batian had his own plan, and ordered his disciples to seal Hong Hai's vital points and put chains on them. Bound and taken to a secret place for interrogation.
Cai Hanying stepped forward and saluted: "It turns out that Master Lu is also wary of inner ghosts, but he is so quiet, this junior admires him."
Lu Batian said: "No, at first the old man believed Hong Hai's instigation, thinking that your Central Plains Escort was causing trouble, and he really wanted to show you off, but seeing that you are upright and clear, the old man began to have doubts, and then Tonight, the old man saw his old friend again, so I fully believed it."
"Old friend?" Zhao Mengjiao didn't know where his old friend was.
Lu Batian looked at Sima Wuqing: "This Wuqingjian's uncle Zhuifengjian Sima Kun is an old friend of this old man."
Sima Wuqing also said: "Uncle kept mentioning the demeanor of the seniors during his lifetime, it's the juniors who offended me."
Several people present showed surprised expressions.
It turned out that Xiaodie understood.It seems to outsiders that Sima Wuqing and Ouyang Wudi went to Heavenly King's Mansion to meddle in their own business on impulse, but they didn't know that everything was just to attract the traitor's tricks, so Lu Ba genius did not hesitate to agree with the two outsiders to break through the level, and even the escorts were confused. In the dark, the traitor will of course be fooled.But when was such a plan formulated? The two of them acted together with Hutu, and the brother-in-law would have known about it a long time ago. In order to let Sima ruthlessly break through to the third level, pretending to be a loser with Lu Batian, could it be? Is my lucky victory in the first level also the opponent's concession?
As soon as she thought of this, the joy of narrowly winning with tactics just now gradually faded, and at this moment, as if she had seen through her, Ouyang Wudi said: "Miss Xiaodie, don't think too much, Lu Batian's disciples don't know about this, this The three tests are real."
Sima Wuqing also said: "That's right, although Master Lu passed the secret signal to me first, if you and friend Ouyang have not won the first two tests, Master Lu will not agree to cooperate."
The voices of the two were calm and unrestrained, wafting into their ears and completely dispelling the last trace of doubt. Xiaodie hesitated for a moment while feeling at ease. Why did Sima Wuqing and Ouyang Wudi see through her thoughts so easily, but after a while, she Understood, because of her unyielding personality, she was so similar to Yan Ling in some aspects, they would naturally know.
Everyone in the Heavenly King's Mansion had dispersed, Xiaodie saw that there were only her own people around, so she asked in a low voice: "By the way, brother-in-law, where is Yan Ling? Is it because she is fine that you came here?"
Cai Hanying said: "Yes, Yanling has woken up, but whether she can fully recover depends on her luck tonight. Because of Hutu's request, the three of us came to support you, and he and Uncle Jiang guarded."
Xiaodie was puzzled: "Why?"
Jiang Xiong was guarding the front gate of the compound.
Now there are only Hu Tu and Yan Ling in the whole room, and Ye Zhenyu's cousin, Huang and Tie have been arranged elsewhere.
Hutu said that his good friend Yan Luo Wanjianchou, who is cold-faced, is nearby, and he can invite him to see Yanling's injuries. Wanjianchou will not be able to control the killing when he sees strangers, so no one can leave The farther the better.
Jiang Xiong should have left just because of this, but he understood that there was something he had to do himself at this moment, because the danger in the dark had approached them, and this danger might have a very close relationship with him.
Jiang Xiong said to the people in the dark: "As you are following, the people from the Central Plains Escort Bureau have already gone to deal with the affairs of the Heavenly King's Mansion. I am the only one guarding here. This is the best opportunity, isn't it?"
A masked man in black with a knife really ran out of the dark, Jiang Xiong held the knife to be vigilant, but he heard the man sneakingly lowered his voice and said: "Old Jiang, don't say anything, it's me, it's me!" ah."
"You..." Hearing the familiar voice, Jiang Xiong hesitated for a moment and stopped his movements. Someone ran up to him and pulled off the mask. It was a middle-aged man who was about the same age and height as Jiang Xiong, with small eyes and dark hair With a short beard, he smiled silly at Jiang Xiong.
"Lao Jiang, it's really you. It's been good not seeing you for six years."
Jiang Xiong said in shock: "Old Hu? Why are you? Aren't you supposed to be a catcher in Jinan Mansion?"
The old Hu looked sad: "Brother was framed by Tie Yiwei and had to avoid the limelight. I just heard that Lao Jiang came here. Although it's hard to say, brother really has nothing to go back to his hometown. For the sake of fellow countrymen, can you do this brother a favor."
Jiang Xiong sighed: "Money is something outside of the body, Lao Hu, you just ask for it, why hide in the dark." After speaking, he untied the money bag and threw it all away without leaving any.
Lao Hu took the purse and weighed it, gratefully said: "It's not that I don't want to meet you face to face, it's because when I came here, I found that there were people in iron clothes staring at you, and I saw them leave after you just now. The three of them left, so they came out in peace."
Jiang Xiong frowned: "Old Hu, who sent you here?"
He has long been suspicious of his fellow countryman and former friend, and there are very few people who know that he has come out of the rivers and lakes. It is very suspicious to appear at such an opportunity without asking himself why, and what he said just now, Cai Hanying It is true that the three of them left, but the three of them went out through the back door in order to avoid eyes and ears. If Lao Hu only guarded the front door, how could he see it.
Lao Hu squeezed out a smile: "What are you talking about, Lao Jiang, are you doubting me?"
If he had an accomplice at the back door, it might hurt Yanling and Hutu in the back room, and he had to rush back to support him. Jiang Xiong didn't hesitate any longer when he thought of this, and pointed at Lao Hu with his Zhulang knife: "If you don't say anything , don't blame me for not thinking about old love."
Lao Hu looked up at the sky suddenly: "Be careful!"
Jiang Xiong had been prepared for a long time. On the one hand, he looked up to guard against the air, but put more energy on his lower body to prevent sneak attacks. He didn't have any loopholes in doing so, but it was a pity that the opponent used even more despicable tricks.
As expected, Lao Hu made a move when he showed a slight gap, Jiang Xiong used his saber technique to resist, the two sabers counteracted, Jiang Xiong's internal strength was naturally better, Lao Hu stopped his body, and shouted: "You don't treat me as a Brother, why do I need your charity!" He threw back the money bag just now to Jiang Xiong.
Jiang Xiong caught the purse, seeing that Lao Hu hadn't used his ultimate move, he hesitated for a moment whether he had wronged a good person, and suddenly a piercing pain came from his palm, and then he realized that the purse that Lao Hu threw back Poison has been applied.
"Hahaha! Jiang Xiong, you've still been tricked!"
A woman's high-pitched and proud voice came out from the dark place, the moment Jiang Xiong touched the acupuncture points on his arm to prevent the poison from spreading, the woman in red floated up to him, her eyes met, Jiang Xiong sighed: "It really is you. "
He was entrusted by Cai Hanying to inquire about the news and separated from the bodyguard team for a period of time, and what he discovered was not only Tie Yiwei's ambush against the Central Plains bodyguard bureau, but also another force directed at him.In order to get rid of herself, she did not hesitate to cooperate with Tie Yiwei to provide clues. Most of Yin Shaoqing, Ling Tianchou, and Yun Sanniang are related to her.
"Xiong Yuqiu."
He said the woman's name.
Xiong Yuqiu has a beautiful face, her eyes are particularly bright, and she is like the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival in the dark night. She looks weak, but now she said to Jiang Xiong with a sinister face: "You have been poisoned by the five poisonous heart powder. Even if the acupoints are tapped, the poison cannot be prevented from spreading to the whole body, and today I will avenge my father!"
Xiong Yuqiu's father was defeated by Jiang Xiong in the sword competition and committed suicide after returning home. Although Jiang Xiong did not kill him directly, Xiong Yuqiu regarded Jiang Xiong as the murderer for many years. Xiong Yuqiu was following him.
He saw that this beautiful girl was entangled in hatred all her life, and now even her former friends were being used against him, which made him sad. Jiang Xiong knew that the grievances and grievances would come to an end one day, and only when they were settled, could the trip to the Central Plains Escort Bureau be less dangerous. one cent.He saw Lao Hu also surrounded him, and when he saw Lao Hu looking at Xiong Yuqiu with lustful eyes, he could more or less guess how the two colluded.
Five poisonous heart powder is an extremely rare drug in Jianghu. According to legend, it is produced in Ouchi. The extremely fine powder can paralyze the whole body and send poison directly to the heart through the skin.
"This poison..." Jiang Xiong suddenly thought about what the "killer" revealed not long ago that someone handed over the poison to him. Could it be Xiong Yuqiu who did it?Is Xiong Yuqiu actually related to Liu Wusan, Tie Yiwei's leader?
He didn't ask, because his hands and even his whole body had gradually lost strength. He didn't know if the poison had taken effect. He only felt his body was bone-chillingly cold. At this time, Xiong Yuqiu stabbed him with a knife, and he fell to the ground and avoided it. , reluctantly held his own knife, and resisted Xiong Yuqiu's second knife with an extremely embarrassed posture.
Brother Zhao Tianhao knew about his grievances with the Xiong family, but he only told Cai Hanying among the younger generation, and he also thought about leaving the escort team, but Hanying not only did not abandon himself, but was gentle Responding to the difficulties together, Jiang Xiong was full of strength.
Xiong Yuqiu saw that Jiang Xiong was in a mess with his two moves, he couldn't help laughing triumphantly, turned around and said to the old Hu: "Let Jiang Xiong be tortured slowly by me, there should only be a bad old man in this yard to accompany the seriously injured man." Zhao Yanling, you go and set fire to the whole yard, and if you rush to claim credit with the big stall, we will have endless glory and wealth!"
Old Hu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go right away!"
What the two said completely angered Jiang Xiong.He chose to come out of the arena until now, just to protect Yanling and his party, if anyone wants to pass him and harm the bodyguard team, he will never allow it even if he dies.
Jiang Xiong gritted his teeth and stood up, almost exhausting his last bit of strength, and slashed at Xiong Yuqiu's chest in the "wave-breaking style" of the chasing wave knife. The knife technique suddenly changed, and it fell down like a wild wave. Xiong Yuqiu was shocked. She didn't know that Jiang Xiong still had such amazing strength when he was dying. .
She covered the wound on her abdomen and saw that her hands were covered with blood. She never thought that she had miscalculated and failed. She cried out miserably, her face changed from rosy to pale all of a sudden, and she fainted on the ground unwillingly.
"You, you are!"
Lao Hu didn't expect this turn of events either. Seeing that Xiong Yuqiu had fallen to the ground, his life and death were unknown, so he raised his knife and chopped off Jiang Xiong's head.
Jiang Xiong was powerless to resist this time. He remembered that he practiced martial arts with Lao Hu when he was young, and then he went to the Central Plains Escort Bureau as a bodyguard while Lao Hu went to catch the head. Although he could not see each other as often as when he was young, But whenever there is an opportunity, he will definitely get together to have a drink and have fun. He has always believed that Lao Hu has a good character, but now he has to believe that beauty and money can really change a person.
But Lao Hu's knife didn't touch Jiang Xiong, it flew three feet away, and plunged into the ground with a bang, three points into the ground.
"You, who are you!"
Old Hu shouted in shock, an old man appeared out of nowhere in front of Jiang Xiong, and he didn't know how his weapon was knocked out, even though he had been walking in the world for many years, he had never seen such miracle.
"Boss Jiang, thank you."
Jia Hutu stood facing the wind in the dark night, Jiang Xiong couldn't see his expression.
Ouyang Wudi has been following Pang Biao into the battle for a long time. Others can't watch the battle in the stone room, so they can only wait for the two to come out outside to know the outcome.It was already dark, and the internal combustion lamps in the mansion were illuminated. Xiaodie stared at the exit through the lights. The shaking flames made her feel that the second level was unpredictable, thrilling and hidden.

Pang Biao walked to the side of the Heavenly King's Mansion and apologized, "I lost."
Everyone was in an uproar, the gray-clothed man who was talking to Ouyang Wudi in the front hall was the most unbelievable, he pulled Pang Biao and asked: "Xiaosi, your swordsmanship and body skills are all top-notch, and you have never been in this battle of thousands of twists and turns."

"Old friend?" Zhao Mengjiao didn't know where his old friend was.

Everyone in the Heavenly King's Mansion had dispersed, Xiaodie saw that there were only her own people around, so she asked in a low voice: "By the way, brother-in-law, where is Yan Ling? Is it because she is fine that you came here?"
Cai Hanying said: "Yes, Yanling has woken up, but whether she can fully recover depends on her luck tonight. Because of Hutu's request, the three of us came to support you, and he and Uncle Jiang guarded."
Xiaodie was puzzled: "Why?"
Jiang Xiong was guarding the front gate of the compound.
Now there are only Hu Tu and Yan Ling in the whole room, and Ye Zhenyu's cousin, Huang and Tie have been arranged elsewhere.
Hutu said that his good friend Yan Luo Wanjianchou, who is cold-faced, is nearby, and he can invite him to see Yanling's injuries. Wanjianchou will not be able to control the killing when he sees strangers, so no one can leave The farther the better.
Jiang Xiong should have left just because of this, but he understood that there was something he had to do himself at this moment, because the danger in the dark had approached them, and this danger might have a very close relationship with him.
Jiang Xiong said to the people in the dark: "As you are following, the people from the Central Plains Escort Bureau have already gone to deal with the affairs of the Heavenly King's Mansion. I am the only one guarding here. This is the best opportunity, isn't it?"
A masked man in black with a knife really ran out of the dark, Jiang Xiong held the knife to be vigilant, but he heard the man sneakingly lowered his voice and said: "Old Jiang, don't say anything, it's me, it's me!" ah."
"You..." Hearing the familiar voice, Jiang Xiong hesitated for a moment and stopped his movements. Someone ran up to him and pulled off the mask. It was a middle-aged man who was about the same age and height as Jiang Xiong, with small eyes and dark hair With a short beard, he smiled silly at Jiang Xiong.
"Lao Jiang, it's really you. It's been good not seeing you for six years."
Jiang Xiong said in shock: "Old Hu? Why are you? Aren't you supposed to be a catcher in Jinan Mansion?"
The old Hu looked sad: "Brother was framed by Tie Yiwei and had to avoid the limelight. I just heard that Lao Jiang came here. Although it's hard to say, brother really has nothing to go back to his hometown. For the sake of fellow countrymen, can you do this brother a favor."
Jiang Xiong sighed: "Money is something outside of the body, Lao Hu, you just ask for it, why hide in the dark." After speaking, he untied the money bag and threw it all away without leaving any.
Lao Hu took the purse and weighed it, gratefully said: "It's not that I don't want to meet you face to face, it's because when I came here, I found that there were people in iron clothes staring at you, and I saw them leave after you just now. The three of them left, so they came out in peace."
Jiang Xiong frowned: "Old Hu, who sent you here?"
He has long been suspicious of his fellow countryman and former friend, and there are very few people who know that he has come out of the rivers and lakes. It is very suspicious to appear at such an opportunity without asking himself why, and what he said just now, Cai Hanying It is true that the three of them left, but the three of them went out through the back door in order to avoid eyes and ears. If Lao Hu only guarded the front door, how could he see it.
Lao Hu squeezed out a smile: "What are you talking about, Lao Jiang, are you doubting me?"
If he had an accomplice at the back door, it might hurt Yanling and Hutu in the back room, and he had to rush back to support him. Jiang Xiong didn't hesitate any longer when he thought of this, and pointed at Lao Hu with his Zhulang knife: "If you don't say anything , don't blame me for not thinking about old love."
Lao Hu looked up at the sky suddenly: "Be careful!"
Jiang Xiong had been prepared for a long time. On the one hand, he looked up to guard against the air, but put more energy on his lower body to prevent sneak attacks. He didn't have any loopholes in doing so, but it was a pity that the opponent used even more despicable tricks.
As expected, Lao Hu made a move when he showed a slight gap, Jiang Xiong used his saber technique to resist, the two sabers counteracted, Jiang Xiong's internal strength was naturally better, Lao Hu stopped his body, and shouted: "You don't treat me as a Brother, why do I need your charity!" He threw back the money bag just now to Jiang Xiong.
Jiang Xiong caught the purse, seeing that Lao Hu hadn't used his ultimate move, he hesitated for a moment whether he had wronged a good person, and suddenly a piercing pain came from his palm, and then he realized that the purse that Lao Hu threw back Poison has been applied.
"Hahaha! Jiang Xiong, you've still been tricked!"
A woman's high-pitched and proud voice came out from the dark place, the moment Jiang Xiong touched the acupuncture points on his arm to prevent the poison from spreading, the woman in red floated up to him, her eyes met, Jiang Xiong sighed: "It really is you. "
He was entrusted by Cai Hanying to inquire about the news and separated from the bodyguard team for a period of time, and what he discovered was not only Tie Yiwei's ambush against the Central Plains bodyguard bureau, but also another force directed at him.In order to get rid of herself, she did not hesitate to cooperate with Tie Yiwei to provide clues. Most of Yin Shaoqing, Ling Tianchou, and Yun Sanniang are related to her.
"Xiong Yuqiu."
He said the woman's name.
Xiong Yuqiu has a beautiful face, her eyes are particularly bright, and she is like the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival in the dark night. She looks weak, but now she said to Jiang Xiong with a sinister face: "You have been poisoned by the five poisonous heart powder. Even if the acupoints are tapped, the poison cannot be prevented from spreading to the whole body, and today I will avenge my father!"
Xiong Yuqiu's father was defeated by Jiang Xiong in the sword competition and committed suicide after returning home. Although Jiang Xiong did not kill him directly, Xiong Yuqiu regarded Jiang Xiong as the murderer for many years. Xiong Yuqiu was following him.
He saw that this beautiful girl was entangled in hatred all her life, and now even her former friends were being used against him, which made him sad. Jiang Xiong knew that the grievances and grievances would come to an end one day, and only when they were settled, could the trip to the Central Plains Escort Bureau be less dangerous. one cent.He saw Lao Hu also surrounded him, and when he saw Lao Hu looking at Xiong Yuqiu with lustful eyes, he could more or less guess how the two colluded.
Five poisonous heart powder is an extremely rare drug in Jianghu. According to legend, it is produced in Ouchi. The extremely fine powder can paralyze the whole body and send poison directly to the heart through the skin.
"This poison..." Jiang Xiong suddenly thought about what the "killer" revealed not long ago that someone handed over the poison to him. Could it be Xiong Yuqiu who did it?Is Xiong Yuqiu actually related to Liu Wusan, Tie Yiwei's leader?
He didn't ask, because his hands and even his whole body had gradually lost strength. He didn't know if the poison had taken effect. He only felt his body was bone-chillingly cold. At this time, Xiong Yuqiu stabbed him with a knife, and he fell to the ground and avoided it. , reluctantly held his own knife, and resisted Xiong Yuqiu's second knife with an extremely embarrassed posture.
Brother Zhao Tianhao knew about his grievances with the Xiong family, but he only told Cai Hanying among the younger generation, and he also thought about leaving the escort team, but Hanying not only did not abandon himself, but was gentle Responding to the difficulties together, Jiang Xiong was full of strength.
Xiong Yuqiu saw that Jiang Xiong was in a mess with his two moves, he couldn't help laughing triumphantly, turned around and said to the old Hu: "Let Jiang Xiong be tortured slowly by me, there should only be a bad old man in this yard to accompany the seriously injured man." Zhao Yanling, you go and set fire to the whole yard, and if you rush to claim credit with the big stall, we will have endless glory and wealth!"
Old Hu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go right away!"
What the two said completely angered Jiang Xiong.He chose to come out of the arena until now, just to protect Yanling and his party, if anyone wants to pass him and harm the bodyguard team, he will never allow it even if he dies.
Jiang Xiong gritted his teeth and stood up, almost exhausting his last bit of strength, and slashed at Xiong Yuqiu's chest in the "wave-breaking style" of the chasing wave knife. The knife technique suddenly changed, and it fell down like a wild wave. Xiong Yuqiu was shocked. She didn't know that Jiang Xiong still had such amazing strength when he was dying. .
She covered the wound on her abdomen and saw that her hands were covered with blood. She never thought that she had miscalculated and failed. She cried out miserably, her face changed from rosy to pale all of a sudden, and she fainted on the ground unwillingly.
"You, you are!"
Lao Hu didn't expect this turn of events either. Seeing that Xiong Yuqiu had fallen to the ground, his life and death were unknown, so he raised his knife and chopped off Jiang Xiong's head.
Jiang Xiong was powerless to resist this time. He remembered that he practiced martial arts with Lao Hu when he was young, and then he went to the Central Plains Escort Bureau as a bodyguard while Lao Hu went to catch the head. Although he could not see each other as often as when he was young, But whenever there is an opportunity, he will definitely get together to have a drink and have fun. He has always believed that Lao Hu has a good character, but now he has to believe that beauty and money can really change a person.
But Lao Hu's knife didn't touch Jiang Xiong, it flew three feet away, and plunged into the ground with a bang, three points into the ground.
"You, who are you!"
Old Hu shouted in shock, an old man appeared out of nowhere in front of Jiang Xiong, and he didn't know how his weapon was knocked out, even though he had been walking in the world for many years, he had never seen such miracle.
"Boss Jiang, thank you."
Jia Hutu stood facing the wind in the dark night, Jiang Xiong couldn't see his expression.
