After dinner in the evening, in the area of Xishifang, the county seat of Chengyang County, Goguryeo, at the blind corner on the west side of the wall of the residence of Navy General Cui Shengjun, Jiang Yixian lightly jumped upwards, raised his elbows and hung them on the top of the high wall, only exposing his Half of his head was turned, and a pair of eyes quickly glanced towards the inside of the wall.
The Cui family's yard is not big. In addition to two servants, there is only one cook. The yard is quite quiet. There are also several lush fruit trees planted in the yard. You can vaguely see it through the screens nailed on the window lattice of the room. Inside the house, a figure seemed to be moving.
Jiang Yixian joined the martial arts guild three years ago. Jiang Yixian is not his real name, but his nickname in the Guanzhong area, because he usually travels around the world as a fortune teller. In addition to his light skills, he What he is best at is that mouth.
At the beginning of the year, a group of talents belonging to various martial arts guilds were selected from all over the Sui Dynasty and mobilized to Fanyang County. Some went to Snake Island, and some stayed in the county seat of Fanyang County.
Jiang Yixian was one of them, and he was assigned to Shen Guo'er, the disciple of the second elder Bug Demon. He was ordered to learn Goguryeo's dialect half a year ago. As early as Wang Junlin established his foothold on Da Mi Island and Bai Ling Island, he and the other A group of masters who learned the Goguryeo language followed Shen Guoer to Goguryeo.
A group of people lurked in Goguryeo for more than half a month and withstood the test of Yuan Taizuo's arrest of Sui spies throughout Goguryeo.
Today, Shen Guoer suddenly brought him to Chengyang County and finally started his first mission.
According to the regulations of the Wulin Guild, his mission is gold-level and can be exchanged for one thousand points after successful completion. With these one thousand points, he has collected two thousand points, which can be exchanged for ten thousand taels of silver, or The hundreds of acres of fertile land in the salt farm can also be exchanged for the son to have an opportunity to work as an errand in the Lanyiwei Mansion or Fanyang County. If the son behaves well and makes contributions, it is not impossible to become a high-level official.
Therefore, Jiang Yixian attaches great importance to this mission and cherishes it very much. His strength is very rare in martial arts guilds. If this mission was not special, he would never have the opportunity to go on the mission.
Jiang Yixian was thinking wildly in his mind. After climbing on the wall to figure out the terrain and layout of Cui Shengjun's home, he gently floated down from the courtyard wall.
Hiding behind a tree, seeing no one there, he took advantage of the shadows and walked around half a circle until he came to the back of the main house where the lights were on.
After looking around, Jiang Yixian jumped onto the roof as nimbly as a civet cat without making any sound.
Moving gently on the roof, Jiang Yixian was careful not to make any sound under his feet, and then slowly walked near the ridge, hiding his body behind the ridge, and poked his head down from the eaves to take a look. The situation in the house below.
I saw that the lighted house below was a spacious bedroom. At this time, voices were coming from this room. It sounded like a man in his early thirties and an old woman were talking.
There was no one in the room next to him. There was only a pot of water boiling on the stove, and traces of steam were already coming out. After a while, the water boiled, and he would have to soak his feet and go to bed.
After finding the target tonight, Jiang Yixian lay on the roof, took out a box as long as a later cigarette from his arms, and opened it gently. There were four small boxes inside. He put the leftmost box The small box was opened carefully.
Inside was a black scorpion that was more than an inch long, with fangs and claws. It was crawling in the box. The sharp tail hook on the back of its tail had been erected, ready to sting people at any time.
This box was given to him by Shen Guoer, and the scorpion inside was naturally prepared by Shen Guoer.
Jiang Yixian only knew that there was a poisonous scorpion inside. He had not looked at it before. Now when he took a closer look, he found that the scorpion was completely black, and above its head and behind the eyes, there was a thin red line like a blood thread across the scorpion's body. On the top of his head, it looked as if someone had drawn a line on it with a red pen. At first glance, he knew it was not an ordinary poisonous scorpion.
"The second elder is full of poisonous insects. Although his disciple Shen Guo'er is beautiful and cute, she is also a little poisonous girl!" Jiang Yixian took out the small box, covered the big box, stuffed it into his arms again, and put it away. I looked down from the eaves.
After a while, after confirming that there was no problem, Jiang Yixian hooked his feet on the roof tiles and stretched his upper body out from the eaves, hanging upside down on the eaves like a bat.
After observing for a moment and seeing that no one in the room noticed him, he stretched out his fingers, pinched a nail on the window screen and pulled it out, leaving a thin gap between the window screen and the curtains.
Then I saw him quickly opening the box, biting the lid into his mouth, and pinching the scorpion's tail hook with two fingers like lightning!
Then, with a flick of his wrist, the scorpion silently flew in along the small crack in the window screen.
I saw the scorpion flying straight into the room, and it landed exactly inside the shoes placed aside.
Through the gap, he saw an old woman lying on the bed. Cui Shengjun was waiting beside her to give medicine. The scorpion that entered was the old woman's shoe.
After a while, the old woman finished using the medicine, and with Cui Shengjun's help, she got up and put on her shoes, ready to go out.
But the next moment, the old woman suddenly let out a scream and violently took out her foot. Then Cui Shengjun saw a black scorpion crawling out of the shoe and quickly got in under the bed next to her.
Cui Shengjun couldn't care about the scorpion for the time being. When he saw that his mother's feet were black and swollen, she had already passed out.
"Mom, are you okay?" Cui Shengjun's face changed drastically and he was very worried. He quickly called his servant to find the doctor.
The doctor came soon and tried to prescribe an antidote, but it didn't work at all. After further examination, there was no way to treat it.
Cui Shengjun asked his servant to ask for a doctor. He invited five or six of the best doctors in the city at once, but they couldn't cure the poison.
Taking advantage of this time, Jiang Yixian brought four more scorpions into and outside the room below. One of the scorpions was three times the size of the other scorpions and looked extremely scary, but these scorpions did not immediately crawl out and sting people.
Then Jiang Yixian secretly left the Cui Mansion, found a place outside the yard to change clothes, took the props prepared in advance, and turned into a Taoist priest wearing a blue-gray robe, a nine-beam Taoist crown on his head, and carrying a A small package looks like an expert with a long beard and an air of immortality, and he is holding a sign that says to predict good and bad luck, diagnose and treat various difficult and complicated diseases.
