When Xiao Wuji came to the gate of the village, he asked his men to open the gate of the village without saying a word.
Obviously, although he had heard of the reputation of "East harmonious with Western poison", he did not feel afraid.
After the village gate was opened, the scene outside was the same as Xiao Wuji had imagined. There were no "forts" or other devices erected outside. There were only two young men in their twenties, standing with arrogant expressions. Where.
"Hahahaha..." The next second, Xiao Wuji stepped out with his uncomfortable smile, and happily greeted Shuang Xie, "It's rare for the two young heroes to come here, forgive me for laughing. Unwelcome."
Before he finished speaking, Yuan Zhan'er and Gui San, who were following him on both sides, also came out to greet him and glared at Shuang Xie.
Sun and Huang's eyesight is not bad. Just by looking at each other's position, they can tell who is the boss of this village. Besides... before they went up the mountain this time, they had already figured out the information about each other, so they laughed when they saw it. No disease, they both remained calm.
"Are you the boss of this cottage?" Huang Donglai actually already knew the other party's name at this time, but he just deliberately didn't mention it clearly.
"Ha...that's right." Xiao Wuji replied, "I, Xiao Wuji, have heard about the names of these two young heroes for a long time, and now that I have seen them, they are indeed extraordinary and unique, hahahaha..."
Xiao Wuji already had a high opinion of himself and did not take Shuang Xie seriously. Now his false praise, combined with his frozen smile, sounded even more strange.
Today, if it were two other young heroes, just hearing his greeting would make them angry, but... Sun and Huang would not be like this.
Whether these two guys can be considered "heroes" or not is a question, let alone the word "younger"; in front of them, Xiao Wuji is "younger", and they are old fritters.
"Don't take it seriously, it's just a false reputation." Sure enough, Huang Donglai replied casually without even thinking about it, "Compared with people like Xiao Village Master who dominate the mountain, form gangs, kill, burn, loot, and have no shame, we are just They are just two normal people, there is nothing special about them."
After he finished the article, Sun Yixie immediately added another vulgar sentence: "That's right. How can we compare with you, the leader of Xiaozhai? If nothing else, let's talk about your face. Well, at first glance, you have done a lot of things like beating your father and mother, tearing down tiles and demolishing houses, kicking in widows' doors, and digging graves of abandoned families. What a blessing God has given you! Even if you are on a wanted notice, you are easier to recognize than ordinary people, right? Once we stand next to you, we will become ordinary people."
"Ha... what Brother Sun said is absolutely true." Huang Donglai also laughed when he heard this, "People say that Huang Donglai is ordinary and Sun Yixie is ordinary, and they are referring to us... Xiaozhai Master, please don't belittle yourself. Your ugliness, evil, and despicability are all from the inside out. Your body and mind are integrated, and your skills are astonishing. You stand out from the crowd. We are both amazed to be able to meet you today. It should be an honor for us."
The two people exchanged words with each other, and in the blink of an eye, they were scolding each other for three paragraphs in a more sinister and yang tone, without being too harsh.
Xiao Wuji stood there and everyone was dumbfounded, thinking in his heart that I was just making a tentative taunt, and you two responded with hundreds of words of personal attacks. Are you professional scolding players?
"Humph... what a good talker!" Two seconds later, Xiao Wuji hadn't spoken yet, and Yuan Zhan'er, who was standing behind him, couldn't listen any more, "You two idiots, you don't know the heights of the world, how dare you If you humiliate my elder brother like this, you will not be able to eat anything today and you will have to walk around in circles!"
"What are you doing? Are you dissatisfied? Come and fuck me~" Sun Yixie said, while already taking a big step back, "Tell you, now we will give you one last chance, as long as you are willing to surrender obediently, Maybe there is still a way to survive, otherwise..."
"What else?" Guisan was already angry. Hearing this, he interrupted and choked.
"Let me speak for them." At this time, it was Xiao Wuji who responded first, "'Otherwise' they will take advantage of our depletion of men and horses and kill us all, haha..." At this point, he said , he smiled calmly, took two steps forward, looked at Huang Donglai and Sun Yixie and said, "Huang Shaoxia, Sun Shaoxia, I was not in the stronghold a few days ago, which gave you the opportunity to use the suspicious tactics... But now Now that I'm back, things are different."
"Oh?" Hearing this, Sun Yixie narrowed his little eyes and asked tentatively, "So, you have seen through our plan?"
"Hmph..." Xiao Wuji said proudly, "Your mind-attacking technique is indeed enough for ordinary people, but in my opinion, it is nothing more than that."
Then, he condensed and repeated the things he had deduced, which were what he had just told Yuan Zhan'er and Gui San not long ago, hoping to see Sun Huang Er who had "seen through" his plan. Will people be shaken by this? At the same time, it also serves as a counter-temptation.
As a result, after listening to what he said, the expressions on Sun and Huang's faces did not change much. They just exchanged glances, and then Huang Donglai answered: "Xiao Village Master, you just returned to the village today, right?" ?”
Xiao Wuji was not stupid. He did not answer the question immediately, but asked in a roundabout way: "So what if it is? So what if it is not?"
"If you just arrived today, then you can see through our plan in less than half a day, which shows that you do still have some intelligence." Huang Donglai said, "And if you had arrived yesterday or earlier Here we are, then..."
"Okay, I understand what you mean. I arrived today, just arrived." When Xiao Wuji heard Huang Donglai's explanation, he felt that there was no mystery in this question, so he answered directly.
"Well..." Huang Donglai nodded, "Then what you mean by coming out now is that you think that with you here, you can beat me to the two of us, right?"
"You can remove the word 'we' from 'you'." Xiao Wuji said, his hand already on the handle of the knife, "I can deal with you two by myself."
"Okay!" After hearing this, Sun Yixie suddenly shouted loudly, as if he wanted to confront the other party, full of momentum.
Huang Donglai also spoke at the right time and said loudly: "Master Xiaozhai, before we take action, there is one more thing we must let you know."
"But it doesn't matter." Xiao Wuji said in a deep voice.
"Look there!" When Huang Donglai said this, he raised his right hand and pointed two fingers together toward a mountain forest behind Xiao Wuji.
At this moment, not only Xiao Wuji, but also Yuan Zhan'er, Gui San and all the bandits gathered in front of the village gate all turned their heads in that direction.
Of course, Xiao Wuji turned around, not letting go of his guard. He was always on guard against hidden weapons flying from the front.
"What's there..." After a breath, Xiao Wuji opened his eyes fully and stared at the direction Huang Donglai pointed for a while, but saw nothing, so he was about to ask, but unexpectedly...
When he turned around again, he saw that Sun and Huang had already run away.
Moreover, the two of them ran away very fast. In just a short moment, which made everyone turn around, the two of them had already sprinted more than a hundred meters, and their bodies had already disappeared into the twists and turns of the mountain road.
"Huh?" Xiao Wuji was really dumbfounded now, and he wavered in his heart, "Could it be that my previous judgments were all wrong? There is no stratagem at all. Are these two really fake?"
"Ha! Hahaha..." The reaction of Gui San on the side was even more real. He immediately laughed and said, "What a mix of poison and poison. It turns out that they are two courageous rats. When I saw that my eldest brother was about to take action, He actually turned around and ran away! Hahahaha..."
Yuan Zhan'er couldn't help but laugh out loud: "And he also used the same tactics as those gangsters fighting, pretending to be pretentious, pointing here and there, it was really hilarious, giggle..."
I smiled and had nothing to say. I thought: If these two people are really Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai, then the young generation in today's world is really sad. Under the so-called reputation of being harmonious and poisonous, there are actually two people who are so unbearable. generation.
"Brother." Not long after, Gui San had had enough smiles, and turned to smile Wuji and said, "These two grandsons have now leaked out. I think they will run away soon, so why don't we kill them down the mountain immediately?" Go and cut them into pieces!"
Yuan Zhan'er also said: "The third child is right. These two boys have tormented us for so many days, so we can't let them off lightly. It would be better if we could capture them alive... Humph... Let's see how I deal with it then. them."
At this moment, although their enthusiasm was very high, Xiao Wuji had no emotion at all.
Xiao Wuji thought he could compete with two interesting opponents, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't even have the courage to fight him. He had no interest in such people.
"Forget it, just run away." Xiao Wuji said, then turned around and walked back to the village.
"Eh? Brother, why is this?" Guisan asked, catching up two steps.
"Yes, brother, they have made it clear that they have no ability, why don't they pursue them?" Yuan Zhan'er was also very surprised.
"Are you two in good spirits now?" Xiao Wuji asked as he walked, "Even if you two are still in good spirits, you should take a look at what the brothers in the village are like now, right?"
When he said this, it was difficult for Yuan Zhan'er and Gui San to answer the question, because they had not stayed up late since they started to adopt the "shift system" in the past two days, but the remaining minions in the village were all Still lacking.
"Furthermore, have you ever thought that the two of them might have escaped on purpose to lure us into pursuit?" Xiao Wuji paused, and then said, "Not only are the people and horses in the stronghold now depleted, but you also don't attach much importance to the enemy in your hearts. Now that you have relaxed, rush down the mountain. If the other party sets up an ambush on the way down the mountain, wouldn't you fall into a trap?"
Therefore, Xiao Wuji, a mountain bandit, is indeed a man of inferior talent. Yuan Zhan'er may have to think about these things in an instant, and Gui San may have to think about them for a lifetime.
As soon as the two of them heard the elder brother's analysis, they were immediately convinced. It was better to listen to the elder brother and wait and see.
So, during the day, this group of bandits no longer did anything to prevent fires and explosions. The shift also stopped, and everyone went to rest.
As for Xiao Wuji, he didn't take Shuanghe's matter too seriously anymore and just went to wash up and change clothes. In the evening, he had a good meal of wine and food to catch the wind and wash away the dust.
In a blink of an eye, it was night.
After drinking and eating, Xiao Wuji lay in his room for nearly two hours.
Nights in the mountains are noisy, filled with the sounds of animals, and tonight is no exception.
For some reason, there seems to be something like an owl that has been hooting outside tonight. Although the sound is far away, it is very annoying.
Normally Xiao Wuji should be used to sleeping in this kind of environment, but tonight, he didn't fall asleep.
On sleepless nights, he usually goes to Yuan Zhan'er.
Everyone in the village knew about the relationship between these two people. They said they were sworn brothers and sisters, but in fact they did a lot of things like that.
Xiao Wuji has needs, and so does Yuan Zhan'er. Since both of them are happy, no one else will say anything.
Of course, their ideas are completely different.
In Yuan Zhan'er's heart, Xiao Wuji is her man, her eldest brother, and her reborn parent. No matter how vicious and cruel she is to others, only in front of Xiao Wuji is she willing to be Baiyi. Baishun's little woman.
Ridiculously stupid... On the surface, he called Yuan Zhan'er and Gui San brothers and sisters, but in his heart he never regarded them as one of his own, or even regarded them as "human beings".
In Xiao Wuji's eyes, these two people will always be lowly prostitutes and turtle slaves, not to mention equal to him, even compared to Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai whom he just met during the day.
To Xiao Wuji, Yuan Zhan'er was just a useful tool to vent his desires.
Seeing this, someone may want to ask again. Xiao Wuji has become a bandit. If he wants to do that kind of thing, he doesn't have to look for Yuan Zhan'er. Aren't there some captured civilian girls?
You don't know this. He Xiaowuji also has his own principles, that is, he doesn't like to force things between men and women. After all, he used to be the young master of Wujian Villa, and he is used to being served by others. He was as strong as those bandits, and he felt ashamed.
Many scumbag people in this world are like this. When faced with big issues, they don't pay attention to things that should be paid attention to. But in some places where there is no need to pay attention to things, they pay attention to things blindly.
Dong Dong——
"Second sister, are you asleep?" Xiao Wuji knocked on the door and then pushed the door open and entered the house.
He knew that no matter whether Yuan Zhan'er slept or not, she would always get up for him.
"Second sister?" After entering the house, Xiao Wuji walked straight towards Yuan Zhan'er's bed, and opened the bed curtain and touched the bed.
His hand quickly touched Yuan Zhan'er's graceful body through the quilt, and he turned sideways and lay on the bed, and then... his face was pressed against a cold dead face.
"ah!"
Let’s put it in a pun that everyone can understand. Xiao Wuji was so frightened that he softened up at that moment.
Frightened, he got out of bed and lifted the quilt, only to find that Yuan Zhan'er had already died. Through the little moonlight that spilled in from the window, he could clearly see her eyes that were twisted with pain and were not looking back. s face.
"This..." In shock, Xiao Wuji rushed out of the house almost by instinct, ran back to his room and got his saber.
His room was not far from Yuan Zhan'er's, just a few steps away. But in the few dozen seconds he went to get the knife, another question came to his mind: How did Yuan Zhan'er get there? dead? Her room was near me. It was so quiet at night, and if there was any sound of fighting inside, I should be able to hear it with my ears.
Thinking of this, Xiao Wuji, who had taken the knife, returned to Yuan Zhan'er's room.
Just now he ran a little too fast and didn't see clearly. Now he carefully inspected Yuan Zhan'er's body and found that there were no wounds at all on its surface.
"Oops!" Xiao Wuji immediately realized that this was probably poisoning. Then he thought that he and Yuan Zhan'er were dining at the same table tonight. Was he afraid that he was also poisoned?
But right now, he had no signs of dying from the poison. Even if he had, he didn't know what kind of poison he had been poisoned and how to cure it... So, after calming down a little, he hurriedly ran to Guisan's room again. Check.
As expected, Gui San also died, in the same manner as Yuan Zhan'er.
Xiao Wuji immediately left the inner hall and went to check the minions' houses one by one. In the end, he only found about thirty bodies that had died of poison.
"What on earth is going on..." With this thought and full of fear in his heart, Xiao Wuji returned to the village courtyard in despair.
Suddenly, someone spoke to him.
"Master of Xiaozhai." Sun Yixie's mean voice and tone are still easy to recognize, "Are you panicking now? Huh?"
Hearing the sound, Xiao Wuji suddenly turned his head and saw two figures seven or eight meters away, each holding a lantern in their hands, standing there looking at him.
"You...you..." Xiao Wuji's scalp felt a little numb when he saw Sun and Huang, "...where did you put the poison?"
"It's not poison, it's a poison." Huang Donglai said, "A kind of poison that will act upon hearing a specific 'sound'."
What Huang Donglai is talking about at this moment is naturally not the "Bliss Gu", but the principle is similar.
He undoubtedly got this formula from Gu Qiying's notes, and the specific sound that triggered the poison was naturally the "owl" call that Xiao Wuji had heard before; in fact, it was not made by an animal. The cry was blown out with a special bamboo basket.
"Why am I okay?" Xiao Wuji was not interested in the details of the poison, but only asked questions that were closely related to him.
"The poison on them was planted a few days ago. You just came back today, so of course everything will be fine." Huang Donglai was sure of victory now and had nothing to hide. "As for where it was planted..." he indicated with his eyes. After a moment, he said, "You should know where the water in those water tanks behind you comes from, right?"
Xiao Wuji suddenly realized: "You actually poisoned the well in the back mountain!"
"I voted, what happened?" Huang Donglai said.
"Hmph..." Xiao Wuji snorted coldly, "This well is not only used by our village, aren't you afraid that the nearby villagers, the woodcutter in the mountain, or the hostages in the village will also be infected by your poison and die? ?”
"Don't be afraid." Huang Donglai replied calmly, "If this poison is not triggered within seven days, it will become ineffective on its own. Even if some villagers and woodcutter eat it by mistake, as long as they are not here at this moment, it will be fine. .”
"As for the hostages you mentioned..." Sun Yixie added at this time, "When we came here during the day, we already knew that there were no living hostages in your village."
"What? Is there someone inside of you here?" Xiao Wuji asked.
"Ha...don't you think you are quite smart? Think again." Sun Yixie said with a smile.
Xiao Wuji really thought about it, and he really thought of it quickly: "You caught our informants and spies?"
"That's right." Huang Donglai said, "Through the frequent bluffs in the past few days, we have already locked in the six spies you deployed in the three villages at the foot of the mountain, as well as the two spies who were responsible for transmitting information from the spies up the mountain. , we all know exactly where they are, how they connected, and what routes they took after connecting. We closed the network last night, so today during the day they were not able to spread the news that we were going up the mountain in advance." He After a pause, he raised his lips and smiled, "Of course, you who just came back during the day will not notice this abnormality."
Hearing this, Xiao Wuji realized later that the question Huang Dong came to test him during the day...the question he thought was insignificant was actually quite important.
"It doesn't matter even if you notice it." Sun Yixie added at this time, "You can only infer from this that we have wiped out all your spies and informants, and we know all the information in the village. That's all. For us You are still confused about the real plan.”
Xiao Wuji's eyes flickered, and he followed the thoughts of these two people. He thought for a while and then said: "So... the real reason why you ran away during the day is because you didn't expect that I came back just before you were about to attack the stronghold. If I wasn't here...you were going to let the Gu attack at that time, right?"
"Indeed, we were both a little surprised when we saw you coming out." Sun Yixie said, "Although we couldn't have caused the poison to attack and then fight you head-on, thinking about it, there were still risks, so even if "It's..." He paused for half a second, "Seeing as you think you have seen through our overall plan, and you still talk about it in front of us, I guess you are smart and strategic, and you will not rush after us. We, so after we withdrew from the mountain, we immediately made a plan to attack the mountain stronghold again tonight."
"Hmph...hehehe..." Xiao Wuji laughed again after hearing this, "Then what's the difference between now and during the day? I seem to have said that I can deal with you all by myself, right? "
"There is a difference." Huang Donglai spread his hands and said in a matter-of-fact tone, "During the day, we were not sure whether you were poisoned, but now we are basically sure."
"What?" Xiao Wuji's smiling face froze when he heard this, "Didn't you poison me a few days ago? Besides, I didn't die like the others, which proves that I didn't..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Sun Yixie slowly taking out five tube-shaped things from his sleeves...
"This one corresponds to the Gu worm that was planted five days ago. This one is from four days ago... I blew on both of them just now." Sun Yi said with a smile, "On the morning of the third day we Come here to set a fire, and they should have used almost all the water left in those tanks that day; so, after you come back today, from noon to evening, whether it is eating, taking a bath, or they cook for you The water for the meal should have been fetched by them in the next three days." As he spoke, he picked up the remaining three bamboo baskets and waved them with a smile on his face, "In other words, among these three baskets, At least one, if I blow it, you will die."
Xiao Wuji was shocked at that time. He finally understood - for the sake of safety, you two went to poison the well every day, right? Did this Gu come from different batches?
Thinking of this, Xiao Wuji knew that his life was in the hands of others, but he also thought that if the other party wanted to kill him, there would be no need to waste so many words with him and directly urge the "back" "Three days" of poison, he had already died in the room.
Therefore, he calmed down and said in a calm voice as much as possible: "You two, we have something to talk about... You are not just trying to show off your superb skills by sparing me alive, right?"
Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai heard this and turned to look at each other.
The next second, the two of them looked at Xiao Wuji again and burst out laughing.
"Hahahahaha..."
"Hahahahaha..."
Xiao Wuji looked at the two people and felt that the laughter made all the hairs on his body stand up. Before tonight, he thought he had seen through this evil, but now he found that he was more than a step behind them. One chip, and these two people are surly and moody... to put it bluntly, they are very tasteless... so Xiao Wuji really can't predict what they will do next.
Sure enough, a few seconds later, Sun Yixiao smiled, suddenly picked up one of the three bamboo baskets in his hand, put it to his mouth, and said: "You guessed it right! Now you can go Die!"
