Chapter 156: Blood and Smoke (7)
At this time, Xing Haifu was completely possessed by the devil, and his whole body was full of evil energy. Even Zhao Feng found it a little difficult, but the goal of the lazy young man had been achieved.
"Netherworld Fantasy Demon Fist!"
"Four-armed Pluto Fist!"
Different from Xing Haifu's strong attack, Zhao Feng always responded with a defensive attitude, which made Xing Haifu very handy, but there was something he couldn't figure out.
"Damn it, why doesn't my soul attack work?"
As time passed, the true energy in Xing Haifu's body was lost very rapidly, and when he realized this, Zhao Feng had already arrived.
A drop of water dripped from the blade of the blade. In an instant, yellow ripples appeared out of thin air under Zhao Feng's feet. Then the blade was lifted a little, and then all the ripples were retracted back to the blade. At this moment, the entire length of the blade was covered with water. The knife exuded a withered yellow aura, and because the blade absorbed the ripples, the shape of a few autumn leaves slowly emerged.
"The water dragon sings, dreaming of Qingqiu!"
It was too late, but it was too soon. The whole process was completed in just one breath. The next moment, the lazy young man slashed with his sword, and the autumn leaves shot out like streams of light.
Seeing this, Xing Haifu hurriedly raised his fists to resist. He heard a "bah" sound and threw his right arm in the air. Xing Haifu covered his wound and kept wailing. The severe pain forced him to wake up from his possessed state.
"Shui Longyin, you are a remnant of the previous dynasty!"
Although he didn't know Zhao Feng, he had indeed been exposed to this technique for a long time.
"Haha, I didn't expect that remnants of the previous dynasty like you are still alive. When I report it to the court, let's see how you guys are still alive!"
Having said that, Xing Haifu was about to escape from here, but Zhao Feng was faster than him and stopped him with just a sidestep.
Xing Haifu's face condensed. He didn't expect the other party to be so fast. Just when he was waiting for it, the lazy young man said:
"I remember that you have a life-and-death feud with Yinren Village, right?"
When he mentioned this matter, Xing Haifu thought of his four sons who died in Liangchengang.
"So what?!"
"Haha, don't you want to avenge your sons? After all, I am a member of the Yinren Village."
Listening to Zhao Feng's sarcasm, Xing Haifu's mind was in a state of turmoil. The evil energy that he had just possessed suddenly surged into his heart again. And just as he was in a trance, the figure of the lazy young man suddenly flashed. The next moment, he heard With a "Gulu" sound, a head rolled to the ground.
Although he killed Xing Haifu, Zhao Feng's mind was still tense. He stared at a corner and said coldly:
"I've been watching this friend for so long, so it's time to show his face."
Having said that, a handsome figure slowly emerged from the empty place. The person who came was none other than Helian Haixin. Before the lazy young man could make a move, the other party cupped his hand and said:
"I didn't expect to meet Shopkeeper Huo Feng here. I'm glad to meet you." Helian Haixin was very smart and did not directly identify the other party. The meaning was obvious. He did not want to break up with the young man in front of him.
Zhao Feng naturally understood the meaning of this. He smiled, put the long sword back into its sheath, and said:
"It turns out to be Mr. Helian. I'm disrespectful."
Immediately afterwards, Helian Haixin walked straight to the fallen head, then took out a long piece of cloth from his sleeve and wrapped it, then turned to Zhao Feng and said:
"Shop Manager Huo, how do I get the credit for this?" This question seemed like he was trying to steal the opponent's victory, but in fact, he was taking the initiative to help Zhao Feng resolve his concerns.
The boss of Huofeng Escort claimed to be from the realm of Mang, but Xing Haifu, who was killed by him, was from the realm of chivalry. There is such a huge difference between the two, and people will definitely be suspicious. When the time comes, Zhao Feng’s identity will be investigated. Eighty percent of it will be leaked.
And if it were Helian Haixin who killed him, it would only expose his own level of cultivation, and then exchange for military exploits, which would attract the attention of more forces.
"Haha, this person was originally killed by Master Helian, why should he bother me?"
Afterwards, the two looked at each other, smiled, and revealed the matter in a tacit understanding.
"There seems to be a war going on over there in the west of the town. Would Shopkeeper Huo want to go back with me to help?"
"certainly."
…………
"It turned out to be just a few boxes of stones. So where is Tan Aiqing's real escort team?"
His Majesty the Emperor naturally understands the habits of Tanshui Qing, and the Taibao has always done things without leakage. If the goods in the wooden box are stones, it means that all the things that the team on the surface transports are all fake, and what they really are The team transporting the tribute must have bypassed all the informants long ago.
After hearing this, Qing Tanshui suddenly laughed and replied: "I believe your Majesty will know about it later."
Above the court, many ministers began to discuss in low voices. They did not expect that the teams on the surface were all fake.
"Tan Taibao, you dare to act privately without telling His Majesty. This is the crime of deceiving the emperor!" In the Jinluan Palace, a court official from the Zhang family faction stepped forward to question, trying to get His Majesty to punish him, but Tan How could Shui Qing be so easy to deal with?
"What you said, Mr. Jin, is wrong. What your Majesty has entrusted me to do is to pay tribute for the emperor. It is my sole responsibility. If I trouble your Majesty any more, won't it appear that I am incompetent? As the Taibao of Luo Yun Kingdom, I am responsible for it." Set an example for all civil and military officials, so that you don’t bother His Majesty with everything. This is what you should do as a minister, why should you deceive the king?"
Just a few words of argument left the other party completely speechless.
Just when the Zhang family was still debating, a guard suddenly walked out from the king's side. He saw the other person holding a letter and respectfully handed it to the eunuch chief Geng Zhuoyu, who then sent it to His Majesty.
The man in yellow robe nodded after taking the letter, then tore open the envelope in front of all the ministers and began to read slowly.
Although all the civil and military officials were silent during the whole process, most of them were staring at the letter in His Majesty's hand, trying to figure out what was written on it from the back of the letter. In the entire place, only Lu Chen and Ouyang Yun, Zhang Yangchen, and Tan Shuiqing stood there, waiting quietly for His Majesty to finish reading.
There didn't seem to be much in the letter. The man in yellow robe just flipped through it a few times before putting the letter away and handing it to Geng Zhuoyu again.
"Now that the tribute matter is over, dear ladies, do you have anything else to report?"
After hearing these words, Zhang Shangshu remained calm on the surface, but he sighed in his heart. It seemed that the tribute paid by Yunxi County had been transported to Luo Yun Sect, and the "suppression with the help of the sect" he had prepared The "Tan Family" plan was a complete failure.
