Two crisp slaps suddenly sounded on the terrace of the tower. King Jin raised his hand and patted the palm twice. The smile on his face did not change, but a trace of doubt in his eyes was replaced by determination: give the essence and blood to the third brother first, and stabilize the overall situation first.
.
Thinking of this, he temporarily put Jia Fei aside and turned to the old captains of Jinwu Guard and said:
"I'd like to trouble you, captains, to retrieve my third brother's essence and blood from this demon's body and return it to its original owner."
As soon as King Jin said these words, Cheng Yu turned to look at King Yu, and saw that the smile on his face froze a little bit, and then his whole body began to tremble slightly, and his lower back was pressed against the railing behind him, unable to retreat.
The five old captains said in unison, and in an instant, the spiritual energy on the terrace fluctuated one after another.
"Zi!"
The moon-worshiping eel that was sleeping peacefully in the wooden basin suddenly seemed to be stimulated and made a strange low-frequency shriek, and then began to twist restlessly.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Streams of jet-black water were stirred up by the eel spirit that was flipping back and forth and splashed outside the basin. Some of it even splashed onto the face of old eunuch Cui who was kneeling next to him.
Old eunuch Cui was unable to dodge, and the black water on his old face slid down the wrinkles in twists and turns, but he knelt on the ground and did not dare to move, and he did not even dare to reach out to wipe the water stains on his face.
"Zizz! Zizz!"
The moon-worshiping eel seemed to be unable to bear it any longer, and finally stood upright with its head held high, shouting "Zizzi!" at the King Yu and King Jin across from it, and at the same time wildly shook its head in an attempt to shake off the talisman attached to its forehead.
The talisman was thrown with a loud "squeak!" sound. The moon-worshiping eel became more and more crazier as it swung it. It even threw the yellow paper an inch away from its forehead, but it always swayed left and right in the direction of its swing.
Didn't fly out.
"..."
After a few breaths, the moon-worshiping eel seemed to understand that such a throwing method was in vain, and became quiet again, but it stood upright in the wooden basin, staring at King Yu opposite him with its two small round eyes.
"Boom boom boom boom!"
The four talismans affixed to the outside of the wooden basin burned at the same time. The remaining light yellow color on the moon-worshiping eel also faded away at a speed visible to the naked eye as the talismans burned. Until the talismans burned into ashes, there was no trace left on the eel spirit.
Yellow has turned completely black.
Following this, the last apricot-yellow talisman floating in front of its forehead began to turn black from the center point as if it was dizzy, and gradually spread to the periphery little by little, and finally turned into black as if it had been dipped in ink.
Totally black.
"Crack!"
The moon-worshiping eel lay as limp as a thick noodle in the wooden basin, its triangular head resting on the edge of the basin, its mouth wide open as it spit out streams of thick white foam, making it difficult to see.
But the pure black talisman was still suspended in the air, motionless.
Cheng Yu looked down from the roof. Until then, among the five old captains, Huang, Bai, and Qing began to slowly converge their spiritual power, and at the same time, they all secretly exhaled.
Only the captain in red clothes standing in the south raised his hand fiercely, and at the same time, his spiritual power surged around him.
"boom!"
The floating black talisman burned on its own and burned to ashes after a few breaths, but the ashes still floated in the air and did not fall.
"Wow!"
The captain in black opposite the captain in red also immediately activated, drawing a jet of black water from the wooden basin under the talisman to rise into the sky, wrapping the ashes into a ball of water.
At this point, the captain in red also gathered back his spiritual power, closed his eyes and adjusted his breath like the other three.
At this moment, only the old captain in black was still using his spiritual power to maintain the black ball of water.
"Okay! Retrieve this essence and blood for my third brother. All captains are busy. Third brother..."
King Jin greeted the captains with courtesy, and at the end he turned back to King Yu and continued:
"I know that you originally wanted to prolong your life, so you mistakenly believed in the evil words of the wandering warlock. Now, my foolish brother is helping the third brother to retrieve the essence and blood, and I also ask the third brother to take it quickly. Please remember not to trust others so gullibly in the future.
As a result, I have lost a few years of my life... Come, bring me a cup of tea."
King Jin looked at his third brother with a smile and called softly.
"yes!"
Old eunuch Cui, who was kneeling beside the wooden basin, was the first to react and quickly agreed before he could wipe the black water from his face.
He got up from the ground, picked up a clean and unused azure-glazed open tea cup from the table next to him, lowered his head and raised it above his head and walked to the wooden basin.
"Wow!"
The captain in black led the ball of black water to the tea cup held by the old eunuch Cui, and finally breathed out softly, then closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing.
"Come! Serve your highness, drink this cup and get back the essence and blood."
King Jin pointed at Old Eunuch Cui and ordered.
Hearing this, the old eunuch hurriedly answered yes, holding up the tea cup filled with black water in his hands, but he could not help but tremble slightly, but not a drop of black water in the cup was spilled.
A black stain ran down the wrinkles on his old face. He lowered his head to prevent the stain from flowing into his eyes, and turned around carefully.
"Wow!"
For some unknown reason, the old eunuch suddenly poured the black water in the tea cup in his hand directly onto the eel spirit next to him. The black water in the cup splashed all over the eel spirit's head and face.
The eel spirit, which was originally resting its head on the edge of the basin with its mouth open and blowing bubbles, suddenly became energetic as if it had received a life-saving straw. The black water that poured on its head and face was sucked back by it in an instant.
in vivo.
Almost at the same time, Old Eunuch Cui threw away the teacup in his hand, took out a shimmering sharp weapon from his sleeve, and threw himself at King Jin who was only one person away from him.
Cheng Yu saw with the help of his magical vision from a high place that what the old eunuch was holding turned out to be a pair of shiny pig iron scissors.
"Jin thief!"
Because the distance between the two parties was too close, the old eunuch only had time to shout out the word "Jin Thief" before he stepped in front of King Jin and stabbed King Jin's neck and throat with the tip of the scissors in his hand.
"Snapped!"
There was a crisp sound, and King Jin subconsciously blocked it with his palm, but directly knocked the scissors in the old eunuch's hand to the ground.
But even though he knocked off the fatal scissors, the old eunuch also rushed towards him, hugging King Jin and falling to the ground.
The incident happened so suddenly that other eunuchs in the scene were stunned and at a loss.
After the five old lieutenants forced out the essence and blood of the moon-worshiping eel, they closed their eyes and adjusted their breaths. At first, they did not expect that an old eunuch would dare to assassinate the King of Jin alone.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! By the time the other party was noticed, it was too late. At this time, Old Eunuch Cui and King Jin were entangled on the ground.
The old eunuch was gasping for breath as King Jin pressed him on him, but a pair of experienced hands strangled King Jin's neck tightly, and even wrapped his legs around his waist to clamp him.
King Jin reacted quickly, and immediately stretched out his hand, intending to break the old eunuch's hand around his neck. However, he did not want the old eunuch to grab his hands, and stretched his arms to both sides, causing the middle door to open wide.
"quick!"
The old eunuch screamed, and King Jin's eyes flashed with yellow light, and a huge golden triangular head opened its mouth and bit at him.
At this time, the three old lieutenants who were opposite King Jin did not throw out the talismans because they were throwing rat weapons.
"Whizzing!"
Another two talismans passed by the side of King Jin, one on the left and one on the right, attacking the moon-worshiping eel. "Pop!" sounded twice and stuck on the eel's head one after another.
The moon-worshiping eel fell to the ground hissing and screaming as if it had been severely injured.
"Bah bang bang!"
At this time, the other three veteran captains took action, and all five talismans were attached to the eel's body, forming a small five-element formation to firmly restrain the moon-worshiping eel.
The old lieutenant in red who was closest to King Jin was not idle when he and his fellow disciples completed the formation. He hurriedly took out his hand to deal with the entanglement between King Jin and the old eunuch on the ground.
There was only a flash of red shadow, and before anyone could see his figure clearly, the old eunuch fainted and fell to the ground.
Seeing the old eunuch fainting, the captain in red also froze. He didn't expect to surrender the assassin so easily.
The red-clothed captain moved so fast that only Cheng Yu, Jia Fei and a few old captains could see clearly. It turned out that he just leaned over and stretched out his knife, and slashed the old eunuch on the neck quickly, causing the old eunuch to faint.
past.
"Ahem!"
The King of Jin was assassinated again, and was still strangled by a eunuch. Even if there was another city, he was a little helpless at this time, and his face was already red and warm.
Several old lieutenants gathered in front of him in an orderly manner but extremely quickly to protect him. Among them, the lieutenant in red took out another talisman from his arms and threw it into the air.
"Bang!"
The talisman was like a firework, rising straight into the air and then exploding into ashes. Cheng Yu's spiritual consciousness sensed a stream of clear spiritual energy speeding towards the front house of the Bieyuan.
After a few breaths, the entire Xishan Villa and its surroundings simultaneously had several spiritual energies surging towards the watchtower.
Here, King Jin had already rolled up and was half sitting on the ground, staring straight at the unconscious old eunuch on the ground. He was stunned for a few breaths, and then he woke up, turned to look at King Yu behind him, pointed at the old eunuch and asked
road:
"Third brother, my dear third brother, how do you explain this?"
The King of Yu did not react to this incident. Seeing the King of Jin pressing the question, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and answer:
"This... this Old Cui is the old man I have been with since I was a child. Fifth Brother, you have known him for many years. To be honest, Brother Yu probably wants to know why he wanted to assassinate Brother Xian more than Brother Xian at this time...
"
"good!"
When King Jin heard this, he shouted "Hello", then pointed at the old eunuch Cui on the ground and asked the red-clothed captain:
"do you died?"
The old lieutenant in red clothes shook his head and denied without even looking. King Jin also ignored the etiquette at this time and said quickly:
"Wake him up, and I will interrogate him here today."
Another old eunuch who had been kneeling on the ground, that is, Eunuch Liu, the head of the old eunuchs of Prince Jin's Mansion, only then woke up as if from a dream. He hurriedly got up and moved an arm chair, so that his prince could sit down first.
King Jin paused and couldn't help but look at the old eunuch leader of his family one more time, and then glanced at his hands. Seeing that the other person was unarmed, he sat down and said:
"Move it again, third brother and I will sit together and be tried together."
King Jin's tone was decisive and majestic, which was completely different from the calmness before the assassination.
King Yu glanced at the armchair placed next to King Jin, but did not dare to sit on it. He actually bowed deeply to King Jin:
"Good brother..."
As soon as he started to speak, King Jin suddenly raised his hand to stop him, and then simply made a gesture of invitation. King Yu had to shut up when he saw this, and had to reluctantly put his lower buttocks on the chair.
After King Yu sat down, King Jin's face became a little calmer. He glanced at the old eunuch on the ground, seemed to remember something, and asked an old captain in white:
"I would like to ask my respected uncle, Grandmaster Jin, when will he be released from seclusion?"
When the old captain asked, he shook his head slightly and said:
"I really don't know this."
"oh……"
After the King of Jin pondered for a moment or two, he asked again:
"Among all of you, which captain would respect your uncle's soul-searching technique?"
This time several old captains shook their heads almost simultaneously, and it was the captain in white who spoke:
"Uncle Jin's soul-searching technique evolved from the understanding of Mobei witchcraft. Because of its danger, it has not been passed down to us."
When King Jin heard this, he frowned slightly, nodded slightly, and said no more.
