After hearing Qitian, Tang Zhao's back suddenly straightened. A sense of crisis instantly overwhelmed my heart.
Although he also knew that the deadline was approaching, it was still a vague time after all, just like Qiu Houwenzhan, maybe the day was fine, but if it was clearly stated that he would be beheaded in seven days, the feeling would be completely different.
Seeing that Tang Zhao, who had just been talking nonsense with him, suddenly became restless, Xing Ji smiled and said, "What, you're not ready yet?"
Tang Zhao said helplessly: "How can I be prepared? I feel like I'll never be ready. I practice swordsmanship every day, but I'm still far from being a master of swordsmanship! And I can slash the air with a wooden sword every day, so I'll be able to go on the sword and kill him when the time comes. Have you slain the demon? I have only seen a phantom from a distance, and I don’t even know what the demon looks like. I feel so weak."
Xing Ji said: "It's my fault. I should have told you these things a long time ago." As he said this, he threw out a book and made a "bang" sound on the table. It was really heavy.
"This is the information that was just rushed out yesterday. It includes the situation in the Demon Cave, our own deployment and the enemy's information. The members of the District Investigation Department who participated this time have a copy. You are also under the supervision of the District Investigation Department, so naturally you also have a copy. . I have made additional annotations in your copy and noted some common sense issues."
Tang Zhao weighed this two-finger-thick tome. It would take two or three days to read it carefully. There are four big characters on the cover: "Internal Information", and the signature is "Qingtian Temple".
Xing Ji said: "The internal information will be burned after reading it. It doesn't really matter, it's only been a few days, and not many people have the patience to read such a thick book. You said Qingtian Temple prints such a thick stack of information again and again, Who cares? Showing off how much money you have, right? How could the bosses under me teach them to read in the first place? They all seemed illiterate, waiting for me to explain, wasting my time. Still. Don't worry, just put the book there and you can understand it yourself."
Tang Zhao felt that he was making sarcastic remarks, and the evil spirit emerged again, and he had the urge to wedge the book on his head.
I hope this thing is written in an easy-to-understand way, otherwise he would have to read the notes on his glasses or ask Ping Jiangqiu. Save up the questions and finally ask Xingji? Who knows where he was caught in the end?
"besides……"
Tang Zhao said: "Can you give me the black and white sword first, so that I can adapt to it for two days? The magic weapon and the sword are completely different, right? What if I don't get used to it then?"
Xing Ji sighed: "This is actually a reasonable request, but it's a pity that this sword is too precious and cannot be left in your hands. Otherwise, if there is a little bit of wind, one or two swordsmen will pop in from the window in the middle of the night and make you 'uh' ——" He swiped his hand, "I don't have time to save you."
Tang Zhao thought to himself: If you don't put the sword here, can't you jump in from the window and become a master swordsman? Is Black Spider Villa safe now?
Xing Ji comforted him and said, "You can see for yourself for a few days first. In four days, when there are three days left before the Devil's Cave, I will take you out, unseal the sword, hand it all over to you, and then guide you step by step to master it." A sword. This is what I promised you, and I will never go back on it."
Tang Zhao was relieved. He already had several teachers who had given him guidance, but he somehow felt that this slightly obscure person in front of him was the most powerful. Including the swordsman Ping Jiangqiu, it might be because of his personality. It makes people feel inscrutable.
He asked curiously: "My lord, are you a swordsman? Is the owner of that sword also from the Prosecution Department?"
What does your sword look like?
He wanted to ask this, but of course he didn't ask, it would be too offensive.
Because each sword is different, the information about the sword is very important. Unless you leak it yourself, it is better not to inquire about it. This is the same as not asking others for their martial arts skills in the martial arts world.
Of course, quietly tapping the sword is not among them.
Xing Ji said calmly: "Of course I am a swordsman." He clicked on the "Internal Information", "It contains my information, which is quite detailed. According to the rules, it must be introduced. If the soldiers are even their commander, who is it?" I don’t know, can I still go to the battlefield?”
"As for the sword, not to mention the owner - Tang Zhao, the sword has no owner, we are swordsmen. The relationship between the sword and the swordsman is not master and slave, it should be said to be master and guest. That sword belongs to a senior, I..."
He showed a reminiscing look and said: "When I was your age, I used to follow a guardian envoy. Of course, he was not as bad as me, pushing the children, but always protecting me and my peers. I I have determined to follow him since I was a child, and it is best to become a sharp sword under his command when I grow up. It is a pity that he later died in the line of duty."
He gently put his hand on Tang Zhao's shoulder, with an unusually serious look on his face, and said: "Tang Zhao, what you are holding is a great hero's sword, and it is also the sword of justice that embodies all the hero's hard work and righteousness. You must cherish this opportunity. "
"With this sword, you only have one chance."
"Tang Zhao is such an interesting kid. I thought he was a bit dull and didn't like to communicate. I didn't expect that he would take the initiative to ask you to save a little spider cub. With his temperament, he can still make friends with the cubs in our villa. ?”
Yuan Qing lowered her eyebrows and said, "This is originally against the rules. It was only because you told me in advance that I agreed to him."
Black Widow hummed and said, "It's just a small matter. I agree."
Yuan Qing secretly glanced at Black Widow. She was Black Widow's personal maid. Although she was in awe of this master, she could sometimes speak her mind because of her closeness. She said, "I think that if you really like Jiao, It’s not a big deal if you let him go as the tide goes. But just for the sake of being a favor to Jiadisi and Tang Zhao, it doesn’t seem necessary..."
Black Widow glanced at him and said, "Interesting. I thought you liked Tang Zhao quite a lot and were willing to do this favor."
Yuan Qing said: "He is well-born and quite polite. I don't dislike him either. But he is from the District Procuratorate. Why should I do favors for him?" In his words, the words "Director of Procuratorate" were extremely important. dislike.
Black Widow didn't care either. Basically everyone at Black Spider Villa had this attitude towards the District Inspector. However, as the District Inspector continued to clean up Heyang County, fewer and fewer people dared to express their dissatisfaction in person.
People in the arena, regardless of whether they are virtuous or not, must be afraid of authority, otherwise they would not live as long as they did.
The current attitude of everyone in the villa is: Anyway, it only lasts a few days. Once the time is up, the inspection department will naturally get out, and everyone will be patient and let it pass.
Black Widow narrowed her eyes slightly and said: "Tang Zhao's favor can be done, at least it is not a loss. As for the child named Jiao, he is also interesting. There are actually people in our village who see others being attacked. Their first reaction is to remind them, and even risk Isn’t it interesting to block it with the risk of getting hurt yourself?”
Yuan Qing immediately said: "If it were me, I would not hesitate to die to stop the attack for you."
Black Widow was unmoved and said: "I am your master, so naturally it is different. If Yuan Yu is in danger, will you take the risk?"
Yuan Qing remained silent, of course she wouldn't. It's not that she is extremely cold-blooded, but that she came out of the selection system of Black Spider Villa and stepped on the corpses of her peers. She completely cut off the concept of "friendship" from her mind, and the most she knew was "loyalty".
In this way, Jiao Feng is indeed rare, probably because he is highly talented and powerful. He can stand out without driving himself crazy and retains some simple conscience.
But such people are in the evaluation system of the Five Poison Society...
Yuan Qing frowned and said, "That kid is not qualified at all. He is not ruthless, his hands are not sharp, and no matter how talented he is, he cannot be successful. How can he be released to fight? Don't miss the point when the time comes."
Black Widow said: "You are not qualified to be released to kill, so it is most suitable to be placed by my side to protect you. It is rare to find someone among your own who knows how to 'stand up'. It is a rare talent. I can trust such people with my safety." "
Yuan Qing stopped talking. She still didn't agree in her heart. Even a "qualified" disciple of the Five Poison Society knew how to block the master's knife. Why couldn't he be as at ease as Jiao Feng?
She couldn't help but feel resentful in her heart, and even had a hint of fear - as the village owner's personal maid, she was keenly aware that the village owner actually didn't like the standard Five Poison Society disciples, and even disliked them, especially after the death penalty arrived. , the performance becomes more and more obvious.
Yuan Qing was afraid. Firstly, she was afraid that the village owner would despise her as a standard five-poison person. Secondly, she was afraid that if the entire village knew about the owner's selfishness, chaos would break out and she would be implicated in it.
At this time, she deeply hated Xing Ji. This man was arrogant, rude, and domineering. She didn't know what kind of delusion he had given to the village owner and led him astray.
Of course it was brought by Xing Ji, could it be that the owner of the Five Poison Society, who is a direct descendant of the Five Poison Society and has connections to Jingzhe Villa, has long hated the Five Poison Society, and only showed it because Xing Ji came this time and had support? ?
Black Widow said: "Tell Tang Zhao in two days and say that for his sake, I will give Jiao Feng one more chance to protect him from death."
Yuan Qing forced her thoughts back and said with a smile, "You went out of your way to tell Tang Zhao, that's really kind of you."
Black Widow said: "Just accept the favor when it comes to your mouth. It's a favor without any cost. Tang Zhao... Although it's not a big deal now, it's really beyond my expectation. If one day..."
She unconsciously returned her hand and stroked a book on the shelf.
Yuan Qing looked at the book quietly. She knew that it was the owner's favorite book. It seemed like a storybook for children, depicting a fairyland floating in the sky, a dream city or something.
She was also not surprised that the famously frightened Black Widow actually read this kind of children's book - other books are so boring, isn't it normal to read children's books for entertainment?
Black Widow said to herself: "Actually, I can put in more effort. I was too busy this month and didn't contact my relationship. Now I have to make up for it. Unfortunately, he lacks nothing. Do you want to take him out to play? "
Yuan Qing couldn't speak anymore. She couldn't say: "Master, would you like to contact that kid in person? Isn't it too cheap?"
Black Widow turned her head slightly and said: "Go and spread the news. After dealing with the Xingji wave, the whole Black Spider Villa will prepare for war and attack Golden Toad Island."
Yuan Qing perked up and said in surprise: "Golden Toad Island? Aren't you going to attack Iron Scorpion Castle?"
Black Widow said calmly: "Iron Scorpion Castle? It's almost been bulldozed by the Prosecution Department, and Iron Scorpion is dead. What's there to fight for? When the time comes, a reward will be issued, and everything in Iron Scorpion Castle will be left to the disciples of the Villa. .After the attack on Jinchan Island, won’t our family be the only one left in the Five Poison Guild in Heyang County? Go and tell them to get ready. Don’t make trouble for me.”
