In the prison, Ling Yun suddenly realized that he had been tricked by Zhang Hu, who seemed to be honest and loyal. He couldn't help but tense up, and said almost word by word through his teeth: "Tell me, what on earth did you drink in the tea I drank?" What kind of poison is in it?"
Zhang Hu's face was gloomy, his head lowered and he said nothing.
Yuan Chao's abyss-like eyes were filled with a biting coldness, "Don't press him anymore. He is just following orders. Let me tell you! It is a colorless and odorless drug. After drinking it, Soon you will lose all consciousness, fall into a coma, and just be at the mercy of others."
Ling Yun couldn't help but breathe. He took a deep breath to keep himself from falling into an immediate faint.
He couldn't help but raise his sword eyebrows, cold light flashed across his eyes, and said coldly: "Then wouldn't it be more effective for you to use crane crown red and arsenic? Why bother beating around the bush?"
Yuan Chao couldn't help but laugh, "The eldest son is really quick to talk! However, these things are colorful and tasteful, and the characteristics are too obvious. It is not so easy to make you, the smart and wise eldest son of the Marquis, drink them obediently!"
Ling Yun laughed angrily and said: "Actually, I am in the sky prison, and I am chained. It is not difficult to kill me, so why do you need to make it so complicated?"
Yuan Chao said: "It is indeed not difficult if the Holy One orders you to be killed openly and openly; but it is not easy to kill you unknowingly and make others think it was just an accident.
"And who doesn't know that the former Commander Ling, now the eldest son of the Marquis Mansion, has extremely high martial arts skills and is difficult to deal with even if he is behind bars. In order to ensure nothing goes wrong, we can only take this approach."
Ling Yun gritted his teeth and said, "It turns out you are the sanctimonious people with evil intentions..."
Yuan Chao raised the corners of his lips in a bad way, and his tone was full of cynicism, "Ling Yun, it turns out that you are not only highly skilled in martial arts, but you are also so unforgiving in your words! It's a pity that you want to be strong in your life, but your boat capsizes in the gutter, and you can only To die so mysteriously...Oh! What a waste of your great reputation!"
Ling Yun's face turned pale. He raised his chained hands with difficulty, pointed at Yuan Chao tremblingly, and said bitterly: "You are so despicable..."
Before he finished speaking, his body tilted and he fell limply to the ground.
When Yuan Chao saw this, he couldn't help laughing proudly.
Looking at the unconscious Ling Yun on the ground, his tone was filled with uncontrollable excitement, "Commander Ling, my eldest son, I'm sorry, we are doing this under orders and as a last resort, just accept your fate! "
As he spoke, he turned to Zhou Shan and Chen Hai beside him, "Are you ready with the brimstone, fire, and saltpeter I want you to prepare?"
The two said in unison: "Everything is ready."
Yuan Chao said: "That's good. You two go in and kill him first, and then put more sulfur, flame and salt around him to make the fire burn as big as possible...
"If anyone asks, just say that there was a sudden fire in the prison, and many prisoners did not have time to escape, including of course the eldest son of the Marquis Mansion."
His voice was low and hoarse, full of coldness and murderous aura. The flickering candlelight in the sky prison swayed on his face, making people look at him with fear.
Zhou Shan and Chen Hai agreed repeatedly: only Zhang Hu stood stunned, his body stiff and at a loss.
Shen Hai was eager to make a contribution, so he took a step forward, signaled Zhang Hu to open the big lock of the cell door, and walked in directly.
With sad eyes, he glanced at Ling Yun who was lying on the ground. He suddenly raised his sword and slashed at Ling Yun's neck with a flash of cold light!
With a painful scream, Shen Hai received a sharp kick in the chest. He staggered back a few steps and hit the hard wall opposite with a "bang"!
He felt stars rising in front of his eyes, his throat was hot, he couldn't help but open his mouth, and a mouthful of blood spurted out uncontrollably; the long sword in his hand also fell to the ground with a bang.
Including Shen Hai, everyone present was shocked.
When he looked up, he saw Ling Yun's graceful figure, leaping up from the ground with a neat "carp kick", and standing firmly in front of Shen Hai.
It turned out that when Shen Hai was slashing at Ling Yun with his sword just now, he suddenly opened his eyes, and with a ruthless "Invincible Mandarin Duck Flying Kick", his chained legs were brought together, and he kicked Shen Hai right in the front. Above!
Shen Hai could not withstand Ling Yun's fatal kick. He immediately fell to the ground, his whole body seemed to be falling apart, and he could not get up again.
Looking at Ling Yun, who was standing in front of him as cold as ice, Yuan Chao couldn't help but stammered: "So just now...you didn't faint?..."
"What do you think?" Ling Yun pursed his thin lips tightly, his handsome face full of ridicule and disdain.
The veins on Yuan Chao's forehead jumped hard, and he turned back to glare at Zhang Hu next to him with a bit of resentment.
Zhang Hu's face was already pale with fear, his lips were trembling, and he couldn't say a word.
Ling Yun's eyes were gloomy and he said coldly: "You don't have to look at him, he doesn't know about this either."
It turned out that Ling Yun had just taken the strong tea handed over by Zhang Hu and was about to drink it, but when he raised the tea cup to his lips, he immediately realized that there was something wrong with the tea.
He had served in the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Justice for more than ten years, and he had never seen any poisoning cases; and he also suffered several unfortunate poisoning cases due to some negligence, which made him heartbroken and for a time became an indelible shadow and shadow in his heart. nightmare.
As the saying goes, "If you take a hard time, you will gain wisdom." If you have more experiences and lessons, you will naturally have scheming ideas. Therefore, although the opponent's "poisoning plan" today was very secretive, it was still keenly noticed by the thoughtful Ling Yun.
His expression couldn't help but change suddenly, and he thought to himself: "This is really murderous everywhere!" After thinking about it, he already had an idea.
He deliberately said calmly, "Someone is coming," causing Zhang Hu to turn his head and look. Taking advantage of this gap, he quickly poured out the tea in the cup, and then pretended not to know anything about it. With such a look, he took advantage of the situation and accompanied them to play out the scene.
Yuan Chao's face was tense, and his eyes were filled with the stormy waves that were about to come, "Ling Yun, you are really powerful. No wonder they all said you are difficult to deal with. I didn't believe it before, but I finally saw it today."
Ling Yun said: "No, I'm just a little more defensive about others; but it's not like some people who only know how to harm others all day long, and their ambitions are obvious."
His deep voice had no fluctuation, but there was an undercurrent of a storm slowly surging beneath his words.
Yuan Chao was choked by him and was speechless for a moment.
Ling Yun paused for a moment, then raised his eyebrows and said, "You were talking about them just now. Who are they? Are they your immediate boss Li Zhishan and others?"
Yuan Chao couldn't help being horrified and thought to himself: "It seems that Ling Yun is indeed well-deserved. Just a casual word from me was able to make him seize the opportunity. He is indeed the former commander of the guards of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Justice. He is indeed quick-thinking and impeccable." ——From this point of view, this person must not be kept!
"And now that the situation is like this, if I can't kill him, how will things end tonight, and how will I report to the superiors?"
Thinking of this, he turned his gloomy eyes and had an idea.
His body was like lightning, he rushed to the cell door one step ahead, and quickly locked the cell door with his hands and eyes.
Then he turned around and ordered Zhou Shan beside him to throw the sulfur, flame, salt and other fire starters he had prepared in advance through the iron window of the prison door.
Ling Yun's heart began to throb, "Yuan Chao, what do you want to do?"
Yuan Chao's sharp eyes showed infinite murderous intent, and he laughed and said: "Ling Yun, it's in vain that such a smart person like you would ask such a childish question!"
As he spoke, he lit the fire stick in his hand and threw it in.
The fire stick fell on the haystack on the floor of the cell, and with the help of sulfur, flames, saltpeter and other igniting materials, it immediately crackled and burned.
The fire grew stronger and stronger in an instant, and the smoke and fire were so thick that Ling Yun couldn't open his eyes and could only cough violently.
At this time, the poor guard Shen Hai, who had not had time to escape, was huddled in the corner of the cell, panting in pain, and was instantly surrounded and devoured by the fierce fire in front of him.
He howled miserably, rolled in pain on the ground, struggled, and kept saying: "No!...No!...Brother Yuan, save me, save me..."
Yuan Chao glanced at him sadly and sighed softly: "I'm sorry, brother, I can't help it. In this case, I can only sacrifice you! I also want to take the overall situation into consideration, brother, you can Don’t blame me!..."
Completely different from Shen Hai's panic, Ling Yun remained calm in the face of danger even though he was in a dangerous situation.
His sharp eyes turned, and he suddenly caught a glimpse of the long sword that Shen Hai had just dropped on the ground.
He dragged the chains on his feet and walked over step by step, stretched out his hands that were bound by the chains, quickly picked up the sword, and with an agile "shooting star chasing the moon" style, he flew to the front of the cell door.
One move was "Strike Huashan" - he raised his arms, raised his long sword, and struck hard at the big lock on the cell door with ten minutes of force!
But the sound of Jin Ge was deafening. There was a "shock" moment, but seeing sparks flying in front of his eyes, the long sword in Ling Yun's hand had been shattered and broken into two pieces!
Looking at the half-cut sword in his hand, Ling Yun stayed there for a moment.
Yuan Chao outside the prison door sneered and said: "Ling Yun, you don't have to waste your efforts anymore. The big lock of this prison is made of high-quality diamond. How can these scraps of copper and iron be used to get it!" So I advise you to stop dreaming about going out and just wait here to die!"
Ling Yun had no choice but to abandon the broken sword, hold his breath and concentrate, secretly exerting his kung fu, twisting and turning to avoid the invasion of the thick smoke and fire.
Unfortunately, he was wearing chains on his hands and feet, and it was very inconvenient to move. Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, almost surrounding him, but he was passive everywhere, with nothing to do, and he couldn't help but feel a little desperate.
His bloody eyes were as sharp as knives, and he cursed at Yuan Chao outside the cell: "Yuan Chao, you despicable villain!..."
The evil spirit in Yuan Chao's eyes was turbulent, and he laughed wildly: "Ling Yun, my eldest son, you are already a dying person, so you can scold you as much as you like! Hahaha, what a pity, you have wasted your life as a hero, and you will soon have to fight with this person The cells were reduced to ashes together! Hahaha..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard someone shouting outside: "There is an assassin!..."
