Xiao Qin glanced at Rouge Bao. Rouge Bao lowered his head and said nothing, as if he was just following orders.
Xiao Qin took a breath: "Let Rouge Leopard take your token to get the Heavenly Book. As for the formula of gunpowder, you should be able to write this now."
Xiao Feng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I can only promise to get this for you, but the formula is really not in my hands. It was researched by the Taoist priest I invited from Longhu Mountain and Tao Zhongwen, the master of Huoxuan in the palace.
Each of them knows half of the recipe, and only two of them can make this thing. Whether what I said is true or not, you have spies in the capital, just go and find out. "
Xiao Qin thought for a while and felt that what Xiao Feng said was reasonable. He also understood that Longhushan's research on gunpowder was unique, but it was certainly not to such an extent.
If it was improved with Tao Zhongwen's participation, then Tao Zhongwen would definitely not hand over his secrets easily. Only Xiao Feng's identity can slowly bring these two things out.
But in this case, Xiao Feng must be allowed to leave, and once Xiao Feng leaves, given his character, it is definitely impossible for him to fall into a trap.
Faced with this dilemma, Xiao Qin smiled with confidence.
"Brother Feng, do you think that if I want to control you, I can only rely on the Rouge Leopard card? Yes, this is indeed a good chain card.
If she dares to escape, I will kill her sister. If you dare to escape, I will kill her.
But you are wrong to think so. Although I am sure that you will not care about Rouge Leopard's life or death, I will not put all my bets on her card. "
Xiao Qin turned to Rouge Leopard: "Take Mr. Xiao's token, go to the World Temple to find the Thousand-Armed Tathagata, the second master, and tell him clearly that if he doesn't hand over the Book of Heaven, Xiao Feng will be dead."
Rouge Leopard shook his hand and looked at Xiao Qin in fear. Didn't he say that he would not kill the Xiao family?
Xiao Feng, on the other hand, didn't care at all: "That's right, just tell him that. Just say that my life is on the line and I am waiting for the Book of Heaven to save my life. If he doesn't take out the Book of Heaven, then just think of me as dead."
After saying that, Xiao Feng retreated into the car, yawned and got ready to sleep.
Xiao Qin walked up to Rouge Leopard and whispered: "When you arrive in the capital, go find the emissary first, and he will follow you to the World View. If you dare to contact others first, you know the consequences."
Rouge Leopard nodded in agreement and glanced at Xiao Feng's carriage again. Xiao Qin smiled. This time his eyes were much softer.
"Don't worry, Xiao Feng is not that kind of heartless man. You will have a place in his heart from now on. There is no need to rush.
As for your usual disguise, go ahead and avoid getting into trouble around Yan Shifan. My cooperation with him will continue for a while. "
Rouge Leopard had a shy look on his face, like a little daughter-in-law who was teased by her elders.
Kirigakure has been waiting patiently for six hours.
According to his estimation, Zhang Wuxin should have been completely weak and running a high fever after three hours, but he still waited patiently for three more hours.
During these six hours, every other hour, he would go nearby and peek at Zhang Wuxin's condition from different locations.
At first, Zhang Wuxin was actively trying to save himself. As an experienced martial artist, Zhang Wuxin obviously knew that he had been poisoned. Kirigakure saw him tearing open his clothes, squeezing out the poisonous blood, and washing the wounds with rainwater.
These actions were all part of Kirigakure's calculations, and he certainly wouldn't think that Zhang Wuxin would be so stupid as to do nothing. However, given the speed at which poison spreads in the blood, Zhang Wuxin could only reduce the degree of poisoning and would not be fatal, but it could not prevent the fever and general weakness.
An hour later, Zhang Wuxin ate some dry food he brought with him, trying to replenish his strength to resist the attack of the poison. Kirigakure appreciated this, he was indeed an experienced charlatan.
Eating dry food can not only replenish physical strength, but also eating more and drinking more can concentrate blood in the intestines and stomach, slowing down blood flow, thereby delaying the onset of poison.
Eating more and drinking more can also promote excretion, and excretion is one of the best ways to naturally detoxify in the absence of antidotes.
But unfortunately, this part of the move was within the scope of his calculations, and it still couldn't change Zhang Wuxin's ending.
An hour later, Zhang Wuxin repeatedly reached out to touch his forehead, started drinking water crazily, and then vomited. He obviously knew that he couldn't hold on any longer, so he left the rock he was leaning on.
Zhang Wuxin's steps were hesitant, one hand weakly holding on to the rocks and trees on the roadside, but the other hand pulled out the knife and held it tightly in his hand. He is now like a desperate beast. If anyone dares to attack him at this time, he will definitely receive his most violent counterattack.
Kirigakure followed from a distance, and Zhang Wuxin disappeared into the dense trees several times, but Kirigakure used his superb tracking skills to find him again.
Later, even Kirigakure was amazed. Zhang Wuxin found an extremely hidden hiding place. Several rocks formed a shallow cave, and two shrubs just blocked the entrance of the cave. It was natural and formed an excellent hiding place.
This place is so secluded! If Kirigakure hadn't followed Zhang Wuxin all the way and asked him to search in this rain, it would probably have taken him a long time! Kirigakure was secretly glad that his actions were careful enough.
Zhang Wuxin lay down heavily in the shelter, holding a cloud flower in one hand, lying on the ground with his whole body soaked, and closed his eyes tiredly.
Kirigakure quietly approached the cave. Outside the cave entrance, through the gaps in the bushes, he could see Zhang Wuxin's whole body twitching slightly. This is a sign of high fever and also a sign of confusion.
Kirigakure considered letting Zhang Wuxin just fend for himself, but he wasn't sure. If you were an ordinary person, even if the poison was not fatal, in these barren mountains and bleak winds and cold rain, a high fever would be enough to kill you.
But Zhang Wuxin is different. He has profound internal energy and strong body, so he might be able to withstand it. If you don't kill him when you have such a good opportunity, you might be the one who dies if they meet again in the future.
Kirigakure observed quietly for a moment, then suddenly waved his hand and fired two hexagonal ninja darts. The bushes at the entrance of the cave were too dense. One ninja dart was blocked by the branches, and the other flew through the gap and pierced Zhang Wuxin's leg.
Zhang Wuxin's body twitched violently, but he did not wake up. He just waved the hand holding the knife aimlessly in a reflexive manner.
Kirigakure smiled with satisfaction. The hole was too small and the angle was too far. His darts could hit Zhang Wuxin's legs at the limit, and they couldn't do too much damage. But he had already tried out Zhang Wuxin's instinctive reaction.
Kirigakure jumped up, bypassed the bushes, and rushed into the cave. The cave was already shallow, and he was very close to Zhang Wuxin when he rushed in. Kirigakure drew out his ninja sword and stabbed Zhang Wuxin in the chest.
Zhang Wuxin, who had been twitching slightly, suddenly opened his eyes, and his whole body suddenly bounced up like a spring that had been charged for a long time. The cloud flower he had been holding in his hand quickly struck Kirigakure!
Kirigakure was shocked, and a thought suddenly came to his mind: He was fooled! Zhang Wuxin must have the antidote! At least some universal antidote!
In fact, it was not that Kirigakure had not considered this possibility. As a Taoist priest, it was normal for Zhang Wuxin to carry medicine with him. But Zhang Wuxin's performance was so similar, and every reaction was extremely consistent with the signs of poisoning.
Especially the last shot that hit the leg, it was definitely a movie-level performance!
Kirigakure's six hours of arduous observation and Zhang Wuxin's six hours of arduous performance finally led to an encounter between the two of them in this narrow and cramped cave!
Kirigakure was caught off guard, and Zhang Wuxin had been preparing for a long time. Zhang Wuxin had the advantage in this regard!
But in order to deceive Kirigakure, Zhang Wuxin performed for six hours, which also made him exhausted. In this regard, Kirigakure had the advantage!
Zhang Wuxin's martial arts skills are superior to Kirigakure's. In this cave, Kirigakure's hidden weapons can't be used, and all kinds of strange movements can't be used. Zhang Wuxin has the advantage in this regard!
But in order to deceive Kirigakure, Zhang Wuxin took a dart from Kirigakure on the thigh. Although it was not heavy, the leg did not move very neatly. Kirigakure had the advantage in this regard!
Kirigakure tried his best to block Zhang Wuxin's full-strength sword in the air, and his whole body was chopped to the ground. His first reaction was not to fight with his sword again, but to escape from the cave immediately.
Zhang Wuxin was covered in injuries, and even if there was an antidote, as long as it was not specially prepared for a certain poison, it would not be able to completely detoxify it, and his body must be weak.
As long as he escapes from the cave and continues to struggle on the mountain, he will still have the advantage. Zhang Wuxin will definitely fall in the end.
Unfortunately, after he landed, he found that Zhang Wuxin did not pursue immediately, but blocked the entrance of the cave with his whole body, blocking the small cave tightly.
A strand of rain-soaked long hair hung down from Zhang Wuxin's pale face, and he grinned at him. His eyes, which always looked a little dazed except when he was practicing martial arts, were filled with the anger of a hungry wolf.
This is the evolution gained from seven days and eight nights of struggle against death. For a martial artist, the test of life and death is not only a kind of practice, but also an extreme practice.
In a situation where one must die, killing the opponent and surviving is a part of martial arts, and it is the most important part.
Kirigakure never thought that he would have a moment of panic and fear, not even when he was surrounded by hundreds of people after assassinating the daimyo.
At this moment, facing Zhang Wuxin, he was scared.
Some people died, but not completely...
