Sun Xiaozhe took the "Leopard Pill", crossed his hands and bowed again: "Thank you, Second Young Master, for the medicine."

An Qingxu still sneered: "Then you know what to do now, right?"

Sun Xiaozhe said: "I know it!" He suddenly jumped up and picked up the two crossbow arrows that the He warrior had just scattered on the ground. Jiang Shuo saw that he suddenly jumped up and thought he was going to attack An Qingxu. This man's life could not be lost, and he hurriedly moved in front of An Qingxu to block him, but Sun Xiaozhe turned around and fired a volley of double crossbows at the gathered rebels.

The rebellious warriors had been herded together first. Sun Xiaozhe shot down several people with his double crossbows. After he fired the crossbow arrows, he threw the crossbow machine to the ground, picked it up again and rushed into the crowd with his swords. , although he was vulnerable to a blow when he fought with Jiang Shuo, at this moment he was strong and strong, and he was able to stab and slash, killing several people instantly.

Jiang Shuo couldn't help but feel a little strange. Although Sun Xiaozhe's kung fu was indeed much better than those of the rebellious warriors, and those warriors had been disarmed and could only fight with fists and feet, they were not easily harvested by him like he was chopping melons and vegetables. Head.

Sun Xiaozhe killed several people, and An Qingxu's soldiers who had been kidnapped before realized it. They also drew their horizontal knives and joined the battle group, slashing and killing. In a short time, all the rebels were chopped to the ground. They started ruthlessly. He showed no mercy and did not spare the rebels who fell to the ground. He used the short sword in his hand to stab their heart and other vital parts one by one, ensuring that they were all killed and no one was left alive.

Jiang Shuo couldn't help but frown and said, "They have already surrendered, so why do they need to kill like this?"

An Qingxu said in his heart: Although Jiang Suzhi's martial arts are high, he is soft-hearted and hesitant, and it is difficult to achieve great things. In fact, there is nothing to worry about. He said: "It is a capital crime for these warriors to participate in rebellion. Yiluohe is my eagle dog." , since the most important thing for an eagle dog is loyalty, what else can we do with these disgusting dogs if we don’t kill them?”

Li Zhuer said: "Looking back, even if we don't kill them today, because these people have participated in the rebellion, they will always be afraid of being liquidated one day. It is inevitable that they will not want to take advantage of themselves and do disobedient things again. This is the human heart. Therefore, in order to avoid future trouble, we have no choice but to kill them all."

Li Zhuer said this, but she herself did not participate in the massacre of the surrendered warriors. Jiang Shuo felt a good impression in his heart and knew that what she said was true. Besides, this was an internal strife in the Yan army, and these Yiluoheben who were killed were nothing. A good man, it is inconvenient for him to say anything. But he pointed at Sun Xiaozhe and said, "What about this person? Mr. An, how do you deal with it? What's the difference between this dog and the others?" Jiang Shuo despised people like Sun Xiaozhe who turned their backs on the battlefield the most, so he went out. Words stimulate each other.

At this moment, Sun Xiaozhe had killed all the rebels, leaving only blood all over his body. However, he was cruel and easy to kill, so he didn't care at all. Instead, his eyes shone with excitement. He threw the knife and spear in his hand, and towards An Qingxu knelt down again and said, "Thank you, Master, for giving me the medicine. This Leopard Pill is indeed well-deserved. After taking it, my power has increased as if it were ten years ago."

An Qingxu laughed loudly after hearing this, stroking his hands and saying: "Ten years of skill is a bit exaggerated, but it is true that it will be of great benefit to you."

Jiang Shuo was confused after hearing this, and thought that Sun Xiaozhe asked An Qingxu to give him "Leopard Pills" to show his loyalty. He thought that this "Leopard Pill" must be some kind of extremely powerful poison, but for some reason he did not suffer any harm after taking it. It seems that his skills have improved greatly.

An Qingxu changed the subject and said: "But, although Baowan is very beneficial, the backlash is also very powerful. Captain Sun, you must be extremely careful."

Sun Xiaozhe crossed his hands and said: "Xiaozhe will be loyal to the Second Young Master from today and will be given Leopard Pills. He is extremely happy. In the future, as long as he loyally serves as the Second Young Master's lackey and lackey, he will only benefit endlessly. But what are he afraid of the backlash?"

Jiang Shuo heard what they said, and this Leopard Pill was clearly a powerful poison. Could it be that this Leopard Pill was both a tonic and poison?

Seeing Jiang Shuo's confusion, An Qingxu said proudly: "Looking back, do you know what 'Leopard Pill' is? This 'Leopard Pill' was also created by the founder of Beimingzi."

An Qingxu worshiped Yin Ziqi as his teacher, so he called Beimingzi the ancestor. In this way, he was a generation lower than Li Zhuer. He continued: "The ancestor Beimingzi was originally a hunter in the north. In addition to bows and horses, he He is good at hunting, boxing and kicking skills, and is also good at collecting herbs and making medicines. When he was not enlightened, one day he saw a poisonous snake and a poisonous scorpion fighting in Taibai Mountain. The two poisonous creatures stung each other and bit each other. The venom was injected but could not kill each other. The ancestor Then he knew that this was the principle of mutual restraint and mutual regeneration of poisonous substances in the world. So he refined the poisonous fungi from the mountains, the poisonous vipers from the islands, the poisonous scorpions from the old forest, and the poisonous frogs from the Tianchi Lake with the water from the poisonous spring to make a medicine."

Jiang Shuo said: "Since it is condensed by five poisons, why not call it 'Wu Du Powder'? Instead, call it 'Leopard Pill'?"

An Qingxu said: "The ancestor made this medicine not to make poison, but to take the mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining properties of various poisons and make it into a magical medicine. Taking it can help greatly increase one's power."

Jiang Shuo thought to himself: That is the same as swallowing the Erlong inner elixir, or a Taoist priest refining poison to make a golden elixir. This Beimingzi is really a generation of wizards, and his actions often coincide with the authentic cultivation methods of Xuanmen. , no wonder he learned martial arts without a teacher and developed peerless martial arts.

An Qingxu said: "After the medicine was made, the founder was also very happy. It was really beneficial to take it himself, so he named it 'Leopard Pill' after the words 'Gentleman leopard change' in the Ge hexagram of the Book of Changes."

Jiang Shuo originally didn't know much about the "Book of Changes", but Zhao Rui of Dongyanzi did a lot of research. When the old and young people were in Jijin Cave, Jiang Shuo once listened to Zhao Rui's sixty-four hexagrams and three hundred and eighty-four lines. He has explained all the poems once, and he has the ability to never forget, so he remembers that "a gentleman's leopard change" comes from the last line of the hexagram "Shang Six Yao" in the line "a gentleman's leopard change" and a villain's face changed. A virtuous gentleman changes like a leopard - a leopard is born without patterns, and as it continues to grow, patterns slowly appear, and once the patterns appear, they will never fade away, just like a gentleman's virtue will not be easily changed once it is formed; The villain's face change is just the opposite. A villain will only change his face to suit others, show different faces to different people, be capricious and have no fixed opinions, so he is naturally an unscrupulous villain.

Jiang Shuo said: "Senior Beimingzi used the 'leopard change' to describe the medicine's ability to change the marrow of the I Ching. Although he is an outsider, he has a deep knowledge of the Chinese classics, which is admirable."

Speaking of Beimingzi, An Qingxu also put away his arrogant expression, bowed to Kongyao and said: "The ancestor is an unparalleled genius. He has learned from ancient and modern times. Although he studied by himself without a teacher, his knowledge is not inferior to that of the great Confucians in the Central Plains. It's just that this leopard But he missed a move and almost lost his life."

Jiang Shuo was shocked: "Why is this?"

An Qingxu said: "One year after the Patriarch took Leopard Pills, the poison in his body suddenly backfired. Compared with the time when he took it, his power was greatly increased. The backlash was a hundred times or a thousand times more violent. Fortunately, the Patriarch's internal strength had already been exhausted at that time. With some success, the toxicity of this backlash was suppressed, but at this time of the second year, the backlash started again, and it was actually stronger than last year."

Jiang Shuo asked, "Didn't Senior Beimingzi try to prepare an antidote?"

An Qingxu said: "The founder is the most intelligent person in the world, so he naturally prepared the antidote. However, this antidote must be taken every year. If it is interrupted, the backlash in the next year will be worse than death."

Jiang Shuo said: "I see... Then does Senior Beimingzi also need to take the antidote every year?"

At this time, Li Zhuer coldly interjected: "Beimingzi's magical skill has been practiced long ago. It is invulnerable to all poisons, so naturally there is no need to take the antidote."

An Qingxu said: "That's natural, but it's just an ordinary person..." As he said this, he glanced sideways at Sun Xiaozhe, who was still kneeling on the ground.

Sun Xiaozhe hurriedly said: "Ordinary people naturally cannot bear the pain of this backlash, and they have to take the antidote. Therefore, people who take Leopard Pills will benefit greatly as long as they are loyal to their masters. If they are tired of it, they will be doomed. ”

Only then did Jiang Shuo find out that An Qingxu used Leopard Pills to control Sun Xiaozhe. It seemed that he had given this medicine to countless people, but Yiluohe was originally a soldier of his grandfather An Lushan, and he had not been able to intervene before. This time, however, Sun Xiaozhe willingly took the leopard pills, and from now on he could control the river. But since Leopard Pill is poison, wouldn't it be enough to just try to steal the antidote? By keeping Sun Xiaozhe by his side, he was planning to snatch An Qingxu's antidote every day. Didn't he leave himself in trouble?

An Qingxu seemed to know what Jiang Shuo was thinking, and said, "The leopard pills I gave Sun Duwei were not made by the ancestor, but by Master Yin."

Jiang Shuo didn't see Yin Ziqi today. He must have suffered serious internal injuries the day before yesterday. He didn't know where he was hiding to recuperate. He wouldn't show up for a while. It was precisely because of his absence that Sun Xiaozhe found a good opportunity to rebel. Otherwise, with the abilities of Yin Ziqi and Erhe brothers, Sun Xiaozhe and his like would never be able to succeed even if they suddenly launch a cold arrow. In this way, it is really funny that the Yiluohe rebellion started because he injured Yin Ziqi.

An Qingxu didn't know what Jiang Shuo was thinking at this moment, and continued: "Bao Pill has another advantage. The combination of the five poisons is ever-changing, and each has its own advantages. Every time you prepare the antidote, you need to make it according to the proportion of last year, otherwise it will not be cured." The poison of old age, so the medicinal materials required for the antidote of the Leopard Pill are not rare things, but they cannot be controlled. For example, the Leopard Pill I took for Captain Sun today was prepared by Master Yin Ziqi. There is no one in the world except Master. The second person can cure it, but even if the founder of Beimingzi comes, he still can't cure the poison of the leopard pill made by Master Yin."

Jiang Shuo thought to himself: I see, not to mention the fact that Yin Ziqi is so powerful in martial arts that he cannot get the antidote. Even now that Yin Ziqi is seriously injured, unless he can pry open his mouth, he still cannot get the antidote from him. But Yin Ziqi is quite capable of getting the antidote. Even if he is proud, he will not give in.

An Qingxu waved his hand to Sun Xiaozhe, who was still kneeling on the ground for a long time and said: "Okay, you get up. You still need to command Yiluohe. Go and rectify the troops immediately. We will leave the pass and cross south to Guancheng."

Sun Xiaozhe folded his hands and bowed before getting up.

Jiang Shuo suddenly realized that it turned out that An Qingxu and himself had told the Baowan incident so clearly and in detail not to show off the strangeness of the Baowan, but to tell Sun Xiaozhe. This was a shock, but Sun Xiaozhe was convinced. I posted it and served him honestly. Although he didn't like An Qingxu as a person, he thought that he was indeed a person.
