Since Zhao Mingyuan had agreed, he naturally had no intention of going back on his words.
What's more, he was preparing to rescue Xue Bing.
Gongsun Lan naturally did not trust Zhao Mingyuan to handle matters concerning the life and death of Red Shoes, but prepared to go together.
The two walked together, following Lu Xiaofeng's traces, and arrived at Wuyang City.
However, the two of them found the inn where Lu Xiaofeng and Xue Bing lived based on secret notes, but they failed.
After a brief inquiry, the two of them went straight to the Snake King.
At dusk, the setting sun slanted into the house and illuminated the furnishings in the house.
Everything in the house was of great value.
The cup for drinking tea is carved from a whole piece of white jade, the plate for holding fruit preserves is a crystal plate from Persia, and the paintings and calligraphy hanging on the wall include two of Wu Daozi's figures, one of Han Gan's horses, There is also a banner, which is actually the original work of the King.
There are two people in the room, a man and a woman.
The woman lying on the table seemed to have drunk too much and was drunk, lying on the table. Although her face cannot be seen, just looking at her appearance and figure makes people guess that she must be a rare beauty.
This is naturally a beauty.
No one can say that Xue Bing is not a beauty.
She is one of the four most terrifying women in the world. They are the four beauties and the four tigresses.
Faced with an intoxicated beauty, it's hard for a man to resist doing anything.
The only man in the room actually seemed to be doing nothing.
Instead, it seems like you are waiting for something?
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
The man responded.
The door opened.
He is the younger brother of the Snake King.
The young man said respectfully: "Boss Snake King, the carriages and horses are all ready."
This man turned out to be the Snake King.
"If you're ready, let's send her away and follow the plan."
"yes".
This young man answered things neatly and acted neatly. When he came to Xue Bing, he seemed ready to carry her away.
The Snake King didn't pay attention. He seemed to be a little distracted and didn't know what he was thinking about.
Suddenly, sword light burst out.
This little brother suddenly took out two daggers from nowhere and stabbed at the Snake King.
The sword light was like a startling rainbow and lightning, and it seemed to be full of anger, intending to eliminate it quickly. Both swords went towards the Snake King's vital points.
In such a close range attack, even if the Snake King tried his best, he could only dodge one sword, but the other sword could no longer dodge and stabbed into the Snake King's chest.
The opponent was extremely ruthless and pulled out the dagger from the Snake King's chest.
The snake king's blood spurted out from the wound on his chest far, far away.
The Snake King only felt that what was spurting out from the wound on his chest was not only his own blood, but also his whole body's strength, his own life, his own ambitions and desires, and everything about him was leaving him.
The Snake King used all his remaining strength and opened his mouth several times.
But no sound could be made.
It seemed like he said three words.
But no one heard it clearly.
No matter how deep your inner strength is, you can't hear it clearly.
Because he didn't say it at all.
What is the last thing the Snake King wants to say? What are your last words?
It’s “Who are you?”
or “Why?”
Or "I'm sorry?"
But no one cares, no one cares.
No one cares about a dead man's words.
Dead people are not supposed to speak.
Zhao Mingyuan looked at the body of the Snake King and didn't say much.
This kind of person deserves to die.
Now that he died in the hands of Gongsun Lan, it was considered a cycle of cause and effect, and he was not happy with his retribution.
When Lu Xiaofeng and Xue Bing were not at the inn where they lived, Zhao Mingyuan thought of the possibility that something might happen to Xue Bing.
After finding out that Xue Bing was not with Lu Xiaofeng, Zhao Mingyuan became even more sure of the matter.
However, he naturally could not say that he knew something would happen to Xue Bing, so he advised Gongsun Lan: "Now, it is obvious that there is a force targeting the red shoes. It is still too dangerous for Xue Bing to go out alone. Maybe the embroidery thieves will take advantage of this." There is no chance against her, let’s find her quickly.”
The Snake King is the most well-informed person in Wuyang City. No matter who you want to find, you should go to him first. What's more, Xue Bing was already going in this direction.
Unexpectedly, the two of them happened to encounter the Snake King who asked people to prepare a carriage and horses to send the intoxicated Xue Bing to a secret residence. It was obviously with evil intentions.
And it just so happened that someone was eyeing the red shoes at this juncture. Gongsun Lan was naturally furious and regarded the Snake King as being in the same group as the Embroidery Thief.
Of course, Ben did not accuse him unjustly. The Snake King was indeed with the embroidery thief Jin Jiuling. Although he was coerced and not the mastermind, he did have a share in the bad things the Embroidery Thief did.
In this case, wouldn't it be right for Gongsun Lan to kill the Snake King?
Naturally, Zhao Mingyuan would not stop it.
In fact, not only would Zhao Mingyuan not stop him, he would have killed the Snake King if Gongsun Lan had not come this time.
Not killing is not enough to achieve enlightenment.
After all, it was years of unresolved feelings.
Gongsun Lan's swordsmanship was already enough to kill the Snake King head-on. Even with her lightness, the Snake King didn't even have a chance to escape.
Gongsun Lan insisted on disguising himself as the Snake King's younger brother, and assassinated the Snake King when he was unprepared. Just to let the Snake King also taste the feeling of being betrayed by someone he trusts.
Presumably the Snake King must have regretted offending a woman when he died.
However, the death of the Snake King in the hands of Gongsun Lan will further aggravate the suspicion of Red Shoes.
Jin Jiuling will definitely take this opportunity to throw dirty water on the red shoes.
Now the suspicion of red shoes is even more difficult to clear.
But none of this matters.
As long as people are alive, things will always become clear and the truth will be revealed to the world one day.
If a person dies, the so-called truth will become the real truth.
Now that the Snake King has been killed, the two of them will naturally leave with Xue Bing.
Zhao Mingyuan didn't see Xue Bing's appearance clearly until now.
She was wearing a snow-white dress, which was light and soft. Because she drank a lot of wine, her face was very red, as red as a peach blossom in spring, as red as a peach.
Such a quiet, delicate girl looks even more charming when she blushes. No one would have thought that her nickname is "Cold Rakshasa" and she is one of the four tigresses in the world.
Xue Bing has been rescued. As for Lu Xiaofeng's whereabouts, it is easy to guess.
Wuyang City is where the Nanwang Mansion is located.
The Nanwang Mansion is heavily guarded. There are people guarding the door of the treasure house day and night. How could the embroidery thief open the door and walk in in front of those guards?
The Embroidery Thief must have used a special method to enter the palace's treasure house. There may be more clues left by the Embroidery Thief.
But Lu Xiaofeng must not miss it.
Therefore, Lu Xiaofeng will definitely go to Nanwang Mansion, and he will even try to see if someone can enter the treasure house.
Because Lu Xiaofeng is such a person.
Such a person who is willing to risk his life for the sake of curiosity.
