Chapter 288 The leader died as soon as he took office
"Brother Zuoqiu... don't worry yet." He Nan took a deep breath and made enough mental preparations: "Tell me clearly first... what exactly happened."
Zuo Qiuhuai also had a hesitant expression. He licked his lips and finally said: "The situation is a bit complicated, but our young leader is still sober at the moment... He said he wants you to come over."
"Do you need a doctor? We have a pretty good one here..." He Nan remembered that Liu Sange was good at medical skills: "I'll ask him to go and have a look together!"
"No, no need." Zuo Qiuhuai's expression changed slightly, but He Nan didn't notice anything unusual in the darkness: "We also have a doctor there who has already looked at the alliance leader. It's just a trauma..."
Zuo Qiuhuai's behavior was really not because there was anything fishy about him, nor was it because there was something shameful about Guan Lingxiao's injuries - this was Zuo Qiuhuai's personal instructions from Guan Lingxiao before he left: "If you congratulate Nan Lingxiao
If you want to bring Liu Qingfeng over to treat me, then find a way to refuse."
The reason why Guan Lingxiao did this is naturally because "Guan Lingxiao" knew Liu Qingfeng before he became Guan Lingxiao. If it was just face-to-face communication, Liu Qingfeng would not realize that Guan Lingxiao could be the same guy before, but if Liu Qingfeng passed
To diagnose Guan Lingxiao's physical condition using his pulse, it is very likely that the truth will be discovered - thus causing some unnecessary trouble.
Guan Lingxiao is quite cautious and vigilant about the secret of his identity - even if he is a former friend, there is no need to know what he shouldn't know - at least now is not the time.
But how could He Nan know that Guan Lingxiao would refuse for this reason? So he had to give up the idea: "Then it's up to the guest to do whatever he wants. Lead the way, Brother Zuoqiu."
…………
"I thought you were just one breath away from death, and you called me here to take care of your orphan..." Seeing Guan Lingxiao leaning on the bed and being fed fruit by Ning Zanghua, He Nan was so angry that he smiled, and his emotions were ups and downs.
It was hard to control his expression, and his mouth was almost tilted to his heels: "You are actually still in the mood to eat grapes..."
"Then what do you think I should be in now?" Guan Lingxiao curled his lips and retorted: "Lying in bed waiting to die like a person with no tomorrow?"
"If you really die, it will be a great thing for the world." He Nan pulled up a chair and sat back: "But don't worry, if you die, I will definitely attend your funeral, even if it's a drop.
Even if you can’t hold back any tears, I will smear saliva on your face to make you cry.”
Guan Lingxiao sneered: "Thank you very much, but you'd better give up. The only reason why you can't squeeze out tears is that you turned into a mummy long before I was buried."
After fighting for a long time with personal attacks and curses on each other, the two people's emotions finally returned to normal. Guan Lingxiao also asked everyone except He Nan to leave his room.
"It doesn't look like your injury is serious..." He Nan said sarcastically. When Zuo Qiuhuai told him that Guan Lingxiao had an accident, He Nan really thought he was about to die.
Guan Lingxiao stretched out his hand to the front of his clothes and said: "It's not so much that the injury is not serious, it's better to say that it almost killed me - but I may not be very popular with the Lord of Hell, so I'm better than
Others can live longer."
"Sure enough, this thing is more powerful than imagined... It is close to the moves of first-class masters, and it is even more difficult to guard against." Guan Lingxiao still had a hint of fear in his tone, and then slowly took off his shirt.
He came down, revealing his muscular upper body. "If I hadn't reacted quickly..."
On Guan Lingxiao's back, there was an extremely terrifying penetrating wound located just below and to the right of his heart, and near the irregular circular hole that had dried up and started to scab, there was a horrific tearing wound.
"This kind of wound..." He Nan's face was more solemn than ever. It seemed that he knew exactly what the attacker had done.
"Musket." Guan Lingxiao said meaningfully: "And it is more powerful than ordinary matchlock guns, and the preparation time is shorter."
He Nan sighed heavily, and then asked: "What exactly happened at that time?"
…………
In the duel between Tian Mu and Huangfu Rang, the latter won in the end, and Tian Mu, like all the opponents who had fought against Huangfu Rang, was injured by the extremely vicious palm power.
In order to better investigate the details of the palm technique, Guan Lingxiao thought of taking the initiative to communicate with Tian Mu, but the other party did not respond, so Guan Lingxiao, who was rejected, and his confidant Zuo Qiuhuai had to retreat and do the next best thing.
I visited the Beggar Clan again, but the news I got was that Jing Shenxiang still hadn't woken up.
It was almost the time of the handover between Youxu and Youxu. After leaving the Beggar Clan's station, the two of them had a casual fight outside before returning to the inn. But on the way... gunfire rang out.
At the same moment, the flames flashed four times, but there was only one sound. The four lead bullets were locked on Guan Lingxiao's body without exception, completely ignoring Zuo Qiuhuai who was walking next to him, and the four fired bullets
The bullets were aimed at Guan Lingxiao's head, heart and legs respectively - this was multiple insurances. As long as one shot hit, Guan Lingxiao would still have time to make up for it even if he was not killed on the spot.
Zuo Qiuhuai's reaction was still slow. When he drew his sword and tried to block it, four lead bullets whizzed past. Guan Lingxiao's powerful survival instinct saved his life in an instant. He dodged the target while rolling.
Bullets hit his head and two lower limbs, but the last one drilled into his back.
The lethality of lead bullets is quite terrifying, because lead is softer than copper and iron. After hitting the target, the warhead will break instantly. The wound area can even reach dozens of times the cross section of the warhead, and the projectile fragments will tear
Shreds human tissue, leaving an open wound that is almost impossible to heal.
But after all, for ordinary people, Qi sect warriors can still resist musket fire to a certain extent if they are prepared. Especially for masters like Guan Lingxiao, it is almost impossible to break through if it is a head-on shooting. Guan Lingxiao uses real
The defense formed by Qi - but shooting from behind still made Guan Lingxiao slow down a step, so the moment the projectile came into contact with his body, Guan Lingxiao instinctively burst out the Qi in his body based on touch rather than pain, so as not to be hit by a sudden attack.
Shot to death.
After listening to Guan Lingxiao's description, He Nan thought thoughtfully: "It seems that my move is a good way to save one's life..."
Yes, because the enemy was in the open and we were hidden, the form of true energy released by Guan Lingxiao at the last moment was a no-dead-angle release similar to the only move He Nan mastered. Even the properties of true energy were similar - if it was
Gang Qi, on the contrary, will instantly shatter the projectile and cause the fragments to explode in Guan Lingxiao's body. Only this kind of thick and viscous True Qi can play the role of "pushing the projectile out of the body".
"Alliance leader..." Zuo Qiuhuai also realized that the alliance leader had been injured and quickly supported Guan Lingxiao's shaky body.
"Stop talking nonsense, let's go!" Guan Lingxiao didn't show any force and fell into Zuo Qiuhuai's arms and said. He knew that the reason why the opponent chose muskets for sneak attacks was that frontal combat was disadvantageous, and the reloading of musket ammunition was quite slow, so in the end
The best choice is to take advantage of this time to run as far as you can.
It was only with the strength of Zuo Qiuhuai's feet that the two of them managed to escape. However, when they arrived at the inn, Guan Lingxiao was completely unconscious.
"Huh... Then I should know the purpose of why you called me here." After listening to Guan Lingxiao's story, He Nan responded.
Guan Lingxiao put on his clothes and leaned on the bedside again: "Then do you have a solution?"
"The solution... I already said it when I walked in." He Nan's mocking of Guan Lingxiao when he came was just a simple mockery, but now in this situation, it unexpectedly turned into a strategy that could defeat the opponent.
"I had already thought about it before you came here." Guan Lingxiao also replied.
He Nan sneered: "Then why did you ask me to come here? You just want me to think of ideas for you and then plagiarize my ideas."
"Fuck you, uncle. When I was young, I was known as the king of ideas in the world... why do I need to plagiarize you?" Guan Lingxiao was also anxious and almost blurted out something he shouldn't have said: "I asked you to come here because I want your cooperation.
My next move.”
"Then why don't you tell me first?" He Nan said disdainfully. "If you can't tell me, you might as well give me the title of King of Ideas."
The two people fell into a situation where they were unwilling to give in but wanted to compare with each other, so for the sake of fairness, they each wrote a word on their palms and spread it out for the other to see - of course, the word "fire" was not written.
But "die".
"No one knows your current situation except me and you people from the Eternal Life Alliance, right?"
"of course not."
"Then let people prepare to mourn you now... By the way, Sister Hua'er better not know the truth, she can't hide secrets." He Nan was well versed in human nature, and was afraid of showing any emotional flaws: "
Then the excuse I give them will be that the injury is too severe and cannot be cured."
