In order to prevent the rabbit demon from causing trouble, Xueer faced the rabbit demon.
"Why, why are you doing this to me?" Xue'er also knew that the master's return was a pretense, just used to lure her, but as they were both senior brothers, Xue'er didn't understand what happened.
"It's nothing. If we don't catch you, our lives will be lost. There's nothing we can do."
The strength of the rabbit demon is similar to that of Xue'er, but its speed is faster. In just a short exchange, Xue'er was almost hit.
"Your third senior brother is dead." After a long attack, the rabbit demon became a little anxious. Seeing that the tiger demon was even more disadvantaged, he immediately broke the news.
Sure enough, when Xueer heard the news, she was in a daze. The rabbit demon was overjoyed. Taking this opportunity, he quickly threw over the densely packed poisonous needles with one hand. The other hand was not idle, and the long nails reflected pink in the sun.
The light, terrifying and deadly, stabbed Xueer's right chest.
The poisonous needle was covered with poison, and an elephant could lie down if it got even a tiny bit on it. It certainly couldn't kill Xueer, and she had to give an explanation to the man in black.
When Xue'er reacted, it was already too late to dodge. She ignored the attack that was about to be received on her body. She gave a sweet shout and a shiny stick appeared in Xue'er's hand.
Shoot down the poisonous needle shot at your face.
"Ding, ding, ding." This was the sound of poisonous needles falling from clothes. All the poisonous needles, including the claws of the rabbit demon, only made Xueer groan.
"What?" The rabbit demon was surprised to see all this. He didn't expect that the junior sister was actually wearing a set of magic weapons.
The rabbit demon looked at Xue'er jealously. He didn't even have a weapon, so Xue'er just tried another trick. The weapon was probably left by the master.
With the weapon in hand, Xue'er instantly reversed the situation. She didn't take it just now because she wanted to find out the reason. Since the other party didn't want to tell her, she had no choice but to defeat her.
This time the rabbit demon was even more depressed. He had the upper hand just now, but now he was beaten terribly and even beaten several times with a stick. If Xue'er hadn't been more merciful, he might have been lying down.
No more, the rabbit demon decided to retreat. If he doesn't leave, he won't be able to leave.
"Let's go." The next second, the rabbit demon sprinkled more poisonous needles on Xue'er. While the opponent was defending, he jumped and left the battlefield, trying to retreat into the forest behind him.
The tiger demon was also speechless. He thought that the opponent was pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger. He was a little timid at first. He expected the rabbit demon to take down the junior sister. He didn't expect that the opponent's strength was not as good as his own. However, he lost the opportunity and the opponent's momentum became more and more powerful.
As he stepped forward, he aimed every move at him fiercely, and the spears were scattered in all directions.
I can only be forced to defend passively, which makes me very depressed.
Seeing that the rabbit demon was unable to resolve the situation, it was even about to retreat.
Hearing the rabbit demon's signal to retreat, he fought hard to get a shot. The tiger demon covered his shoulders and ran back.
Seeing the opponent running away, Zhao Man laughed and chased after him. Who doesn't like beating up a drowned dog?
The moment the two demons entered the forest, the rabbit demon threw something on the ground, and a burst of blue smoke blocked Zhao Man's face.
By the time the smoke cleared, the two demons had already fled.
"Next time you meet me, I will kill you." Zhao Man had no choice but to face the direction in which the two demons were escaping, and said harsh words.
Then he ran to Xue'er and said proudly: "I beat them all away, you are fine." He looked like he was rushing to praise me.
It's a pity that Xue'er didn't have the mood to pay attention to this and brushed it off casually. She still doesn't understand what happened, but the fact that her senior brother attacked her still made Xue'er feel sad.
When Shuang'er came over, the admirer said to Zhao Man: "That's so awesome, Mr. Zhao."
Zhao Man looked at the absent-minded Xue'er. Most of the victorious Xue'er suddenly disappeared. However, he also knew that Xue'er was in a bad mood at this time, and he felt it too.
He reluctantly picked up his energy and started chatting with Shuang'er.
Gu Zheng did not stop the other party from leaving. He had a feeling that when that person came, there might be something delayed, so the other party only sent some men.
However, if soldiers come to block you and water comes to cover you, you may not be afraid of whom!
Seeing that everyone was in a bad mood, Gu Zheng had no choice but to take the lead and lead them back. Since Shuang'er's physical strength had greatly increased, by the next day, she had returned to the village where she originally came from.
It was also Shuang'er's former home, and it hadn't changed much since a few days ago. Shuang'er just returned home to pick up some things, and everyone was preparing to return to the border town to take a rest.
Half a day later, the four dusty people came to lead the small town, but the gate of the small town had been closed.
There are even soldiers patrolling back and forth on the city wall, adding a chilling atmosphere.
"What's going on? Didn't things go well before we left?" Xue'er asked doubtfully,
Gu Zheng looked at Xue'er speechlessly, this is the real silly Baitian, it is simply a shame for the fox demon, even Shuang'er felt that something was wrong with the situation.
Zhao Man walked to the bottom of the wall and shouted loudly: "I am the sixth prince Zhao Man, what happened?"
There was a little commotion on the city wall.
After a while, a man who looked like a team leader popped up from the wall and responded: "Sixth Prince, please wait a moment. The report has been reported to the superior. Please wait a moment."
They all knew who they were, but they didn't open the city gate quickly. It seemed like something terrible had happened.
No matter what, they must go to the city to understand the situation, and rely on their own strength for no reason, but they must stay outside first to prevent any accidents from happening.
In the city lord's mansion, two people were chatting politely in the lobby.
The tea on the table was steaming, but no one touched it.
"City Lord Liao, then I'll leave it to you from now on. Don't worry, my lord will definitely promise." The two people seemed to have agreed on something.
"Messenger Fan, don't worry, I have already captured those rebellious officials and traitors. When Your Majesty finishes clearing away those stubborn diseases, he will definitely take those people to congratulate him."
Special Envoy Fan responded with a smile: "As long as you have this heart, your biggest task now is to guard this city. Once the Sixth Young Master comes back in time, you must delay a little longer and report in time."
"Don't worry, I will definitely do it," said Liao City Master.
"Report." A messenger came to the door.
"City Lord Liao, I'll go ahead and report the situation to my Lord." Special Envoy Fan stood up and cupped his hands.
"Okay, Special Envoy Fan, let's go slowly." City Lord Liao escorted Special Envoy Fan out of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, and watched Special Envoy Fan ride away on horseback before going back.
"What's wrong?" Returning to the house, City Lord Liao called over the soldier who had previously delivered the order.
"Report to your lord." The soldier knelt down on one knee, "The six princes outside the city have been waiting for a long time."
Cao Cao is here. Although City Lord Liao doesn't know who Cao Cao is, he also knows that the next step is to decide for himself.
Originally, the war had already ended by the time the Sixth Prince came back, and it would be easy for him to make any decision. I didn't expect that the Sixth Prince would come back so soon. Could it be a deception?
City Lord Liao would be unsure of his decision for a while.
"How many are there in total?"
"Reporting to your lord, there are three more people, two women and one man."
In any case, it is impossible to keep the Sixth Prince out all the time. City Lord Liao decided to look at the situation and said, if you make a wrong bet, there will be no second chance. The lives of the whole family are in the hands of City Lord Liao.
This puts a lot of pressure on him.
"Creak" the heavy door opened slowly and with difficulty.
A group of people, including City Lord Liao, quickly came out to greet the Sixth Prince.
"Sorry, sorry, Sixth Prince, I was dealing with some troublemakers just now. Please delay for a while and please punish me." City Lord Liao was very smart, and he apologized straightforwardly.
Would Zhao Man deal with him because of this matter? Of course not, so Zhao Man could only express his dissatisfaction with a cold snort.
"Please invite the Sixth Prince to come into the city and take a rest. It's getting late now. I'll personally apologize to the Sixth Prince later." City Lord Liao kept his posture very low.
A large group of people gathered around the Sixth Prince and went back. Gu Zheng and others followed behind, and no one stopped them.
It was not bad to arrange a room for them. It was in a luxuriously decorated mansion. City Lord Liao said that the people here had left long ago.
Regardless of whether it was true or not, Gu Zheng and the four of them stayed here. After everyone washed up, they all headed to the main hall.
Gu Zheng was the last one to arrive, and they had already been waiting here. After the maid gave Gu Zheng a cup of tea, Zhao Man waved his hand and drove out all the irrelevant people.
All these arrangements were made by City Lord Liao, and he also arranged guards at the door outside to protect his reputation.
What seems obvious to Gu Zheng is surveillance.
Zhao Man also understood, but at this stage, he had to understand what was going on. Although he didn't like conspiracies and tricks, he still understood something through his ears and eyes, so he had to stay calm.
Zhao Man looked at Gu Zheng and the others and was really dissatisfied. He promised the three of them not to come in and could handle it himself, but in the end they all came in together.
If he were here alone, no matter what happened, Zhao Man would be sure to rush out.
You know, if the situation is favorable, I will definitely go in immediately when I am outside, unlike now, I have to wait for a while to get Lord Liao before coming out to greet him.
There is not enough information. Zhao Man is not good at this. The whole city is under martial law.
But Zhao Man wanted to pat his head to express his confusion, but he was not in the mood.
Gu Zheng was drinking tea below. He took a sip and thought about it for a while. Looking at the tea, Zhao Man was sure that it was the most ordinary tea.
Xue'er and Shuang'er gathered together and muttered something, and occasionally chuckled.
Shuang'er believes in Xue'er, and Xue'er believes in Gu Zheng. Of course Gu Zheng knows himself. Of course he can act like normal.
Gu Zheng squinted at Zhao Man, who was a little troubled, blew the tea leaves on the cup, took a pleasant sip, and then said slowly
"No, I'm too anxious. They should be the ones who are anxious."
Zhao Man heard it and knew that what Gu Zheng said was right, but there was still a fire burning in his heart and he was restless.
On the other side, at the City Lord's Mansion which was very close, City Lord Liao summoned his men and his cronies to discuss.
"Why don't you take this opportunity to keep the Sixth Prince?"
Thanks to the Sixth Prince's superb martial arts, half of them opposed it and the other half agreed.
The objection is that the Sixth Prince is so skilled in martial arts that none of us can keep him, and many soldiers cannot be mobilized at all. Only our men can capture him.
Even if the Sixth Prince is hindered by his companions, he can move at any time at critical times, and his companions are not weak enough, so he may steal the chicken but lose the rice.
Those who agreed to capture the Sixth Prince also said plausibly, because we had betrayed the Sixth Prince's camp, and now we have this opportunity. Once the Sixth Prince is captured, we will gain countless benefits. Even if all our subordinates are killed, as long as we can capture the Sixth Prince,
Prince, then everything is worth it.
One side is conservative and the other side is radical, everyone is right.
City Lord Liao was also dizzy from the fuss. Gradually, the two sides stopped discussing. After all, everything they could say was said. They both looked at City Lord Liao, waiting for his final decision.
City Lord Liao also felt like a cat scratching his mind. He also knew that the first plan was the safest. Even if his camp failed, he would have enough time to escape. The second plan was small and broad, and he had to know that only the highest among his confidants could reach the second level.
level, not even as good as the sixth prince's friends, but the harvest is huge.
Once you kill or capture the Sixth Prince, you will have a bright future, which is better than staying in this miserable place all the time.
Shuang'er is also on the second level. Although she has no fighting ability, others don't know.
City Lord Liao was worried and worried, but in the end greed defeated his reason, and he decided to take the risk.
Now that the boss has decided, what follows is another discussion.
First of all, it is impossible to deal with it by force. First of all, it is vetoed, and then there are poisoning, honey traps, drinking, arranging assassins in the middle of the night, everything.
To be honest, the best way is to force him to drink, but at this juncture, he is sure that the other party will not drink too much.
Finally, a confidant came up with a method.
First of all, there is a kind of peculiar flower and grass here. This kind of flower and grass is generally non-toxic and harmless, and exudes a faint fragrance. This kind of flower and grass is also a kind of spice, and many spices are mixed with it.
Then this confidant discovered that as long as it was mixed with another rare herb, it could be ground into juice, and mixed with some wine, the taste could be masked.
The encounter between the two will produce another effect, which can cause hallucinations or even coma in the inhaler.
In addition, you can ask for singing and dancing to accompany you in the middle, so you can succeed without anyone noticing.
City Lord Liao praised happily, and he would definitely give a reward if he succeeds.
In this way, I thought my confidant came up with another idea. Everything was normal before. When the backup dancer appeared, the adult poured him a specific wine. The wine in the jar was drugged, so that the airway could be double insured.
After hearing this, if he must have fallen into the trap, City Lord Liao's face burst into laughter, as if he had seen himself prosperous and wealthy in the future.
"Okay, let's get ready. Be careful and don't alert the enemy."
The men all dispersed in a hurry to do whatever they had to do, leaving City Master Liao alone and giggling.
It was already late when we entered the city, but after a slight delay, it quickly became dark.
Gu Zheng had already refilled a few cups of tea in his hand. Just now Xue'er tentatively tried to go out but was blocked by the guards at the door, so she had to come back disappointed.
When the hall was already lit, a soldier finally came over and respectfully invited the four of them to the largest restaurant in the city.
Lord Liao took care of the Sixth Prince.
Under the leadership of Chuan Bing, Gu Zheng and the others arrived quickly. Compared to the restaurants in Nanyue City, this place seemed very shabby. Not only did it only have two floors, there were no famous calligraphy and paintings, and there were no elegant private rooms. It looked like an ordinary restaurant.
No difference.
But it is indeed the largest restaurant here. Who makes this place belong to a remote place?
When Gu Zheng and the others went up, they found that City Lord Liao had already been waiting with a group of people. When he saw Zhao Man arriving, he warmly asked Zhao Man to take a seat.
The table is full of dishes, including chicken, duck, fish, delicacies from all over the world.
City Lord Liao introduced the people at this table to Zhao Man. This person is in charge of finance, and this person is in charge of logistics. Everyone who is introduced to Zhao Man will have a glass of wine and say hello to Zhao Man.
Zhao Man also briefly introduced his friends to everyone. After a circle, everyone officially took their seats.
Gu Zheng looked at those who claimed to be something. Some of them looked like they had been infected by death, or had a very low temperament. They were not like the ones he introduced. It seemed that they were probably from the Hongmen Banquet.
Zhao Man could tell, and as soon as he sat down, he directly asked those people: "What were you doing before?"
Those few stood up with a look of panic, indicating that they were all the captains or subordinates of their own bosses.
"Then what happened to the city lord? Why is the martial law so strict?" Zhao Man asked again.
City Lord Liao also stood up and apologized to Zhao Man: "There are some rebellious officials and traitors in the city who want to seize the city. They have been suppressed with everyone's help. It is a pity for those brothers who died in the civil strife."
He even shed a few tears in a pretentious manner. Gu Zheng looked like he was really good at acting. If ordinary people couldn't see the flaws.
Gu Zheng had already begun to eat the delicacies on the table. Seeing everyone on the table looking at him, he raised his glass to signal and drank it in one gulp. It was really refreshing.
"Eat, you're welcome, eat quickly, Shuang'er, Xue'er, eat quickly." Seeing everyone looking at him like they were a fool, Gu Zheng made the mistake of calling Xue'er and the others to start eating.
It had been a hard day and they hadn't eaten much. Xue'er and Shuang'er were already very hungry. After hearing this, they didn't care about the others and started eating with Gu Zheng.
But the one in front is a sweet and sour drink, which is very popular with girls.
Others looked at Gu Zheng and the others strangely. This friend of the Sixth Prince must be too much. This was everyone's opinion at this time.
Zhao Mancai didn't have time to look at this and asked anxiously: "What happened?"
City Lord Liao sighed with emotion before saying: "The thief in Yongquan has rebelled. Taking advantage of the opportunity to meet the Holy Spirit, he detained all of His Majesty's people and even sent envoys to seduce the City Lord below."
"I'm here too." City Lord Liao looked at Zhao Man's suspicious eyes and simply admitted: "But I finally obeyed His Majesty. I just beat the envoy with a stick and asked him to tell Yongou Thief that he would launch an army to attack."
"I didn't expect it," City Lord Liao said sadly, "The envoy still refused to give up and incited some unsuspecting people to mutiny. Fortunately, he was discovered early and suppressed it in time, but some innocent people who were incited were still killed."
"It's my fault. That messenger should have been killed. Many brothers died." City Lord Liao even had tears in his eyes.
