"What are you doing?" the landlady said sternly, and the next moment she rushed to Zhao Gao's side, raised her hand and patted Zhao Gao on the back.
However, Zhao Gao had anticipated this moment, bit his lip and remained silent.
The face of the landlady gradually turned cold, she retracted her palm and looked away.
Zhao Gao's forehead was already dripping with sweat, and the big beads of sweat were like broken beads, dripping down drop by drop. His eyes were bloodshot and his lips were full of blood.
"This is the poison I specially prepared for myself. It will spread all over the meridians of my body in three breaths. I still have half an hour... to have a good sleep." Zhao Gao grinned and smiled. Laughing, a little black blood flowed from his mouth.
The landlady sighed, "Why bother? Maybe I will let you live."
Zhao Gao shook his head and said, "Even if you let me go, I can't let myself go. For more than ten years, I have been suffering all the time. I have been thinking about what I am doing by living alone.
I used to be jealous of the old man's wealth, but after I had it and enjoyed it, I still had nothing.
Those beautiful faces are just like pink and withered bones.
After so many years, I have been carrying the name of your Huo family, always thinking that I can replace you...
I have lived enough, I just want relief.
Come on, do it, kill me, it will resolve the grudge between me and your Huo family, and it will also resolve the knot in your heart. "
The landlady turned around, her face already covered with tears.
She had actually known that Zhao Gao was hiding here for a long time, but she had been undecided to face him.
Facing this man who almost watched her grow up, facing this man who killed her father...
She hesitated.
After the huge Huo family was destroyed, she had few familiar people in the world, and the only one who stayed by her side was Zi Lan.
And now she has to experience her old friend leaving before her eyes...
"Tell me, who were the people who forced the Huo family to death?" asked the landlady.
At this time, Zhao Gao's eyes were gradually dimming, and it was obvious that his life was coming to an end.
"It's what the Prime Minister meant...Zhou Ruoxiao and his people..." Zhao Gao's voice became smaller and smaller, and his eyes gradually narrowed.
The landlady hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed his arms with both hands, and supported him, "Tell me quickly, has An Zicheng, the eldest prince's subordinate, gone? Were the Red Dragon Army there at the time?"
Zhao Gao's eyes have been completely closed, and his voice is almost as soft as a mosquito's moan. The landlady can feel that his life breath is constantly weakening, weakening...
The lady boss unconsciously moved closer to him, wanting to hear clearly what he said.
"An... Zicheng... the Red Dragon Army is also here... no..."
Zhao Gao's voice stopped suddenly, and the proprietress slowly stood up.
Just when she thought Zhao Gao was dead, Zhao Gao suddenly opened his eyes again, showed a forced smile at her, slowly raised his right hand and touched her face.
The landlady subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but after being stunned for a moment, she stopped moving and allowed Zhao Gao's hand to touch her.
"Um……"
There was a smile in Zhao Gao's eyes, his lips twitched twice, and finally he murmured a few words in a low voice, then his hand fell down, his whole body went limp, and he fell on the bed.
The landlady was stunned.
However, what she didn't notice was that there was an extremely slender poisonous needle hidden in the nail of Zhao Gao's right hand.
.
Not sure whether it was too late or because he couldn't bear it, Zhao Gao did not choose to use it.
…………
In a somewhat remote courtyard, Yi Niao walked out with a plate of melon and fruit snacks. In the courtyard, the pig demon was eating a large bucket of leftovers.
"The Huo family is indeed a rich and powerful family. Even the leftovers in the kitchen look good. You pig, you are really lucky." Yi Niao approached the pig demon and said.
The pig demon raised his head and glanced at the plate of delicate fruits held in Yiniao's hand. He couldn't help but feel a little ready to move, and his saliva flowed out.
Yiniao couldn't help but clicked his tongue when he saw the pig demon's drooling look.
"There's nothing we can do. We're brothers. I'll take care of you too, brother. If I eat, you'll drink." Yiniao poured the remaining half of the fruit in front of the pig demon. inside the rice bowl.
"Speaking of which, can Taoist Meng really know how to cure diseases? I only heard that the Taoist priests in Qingcheng Mountain can slay demons, chant sutras, and meditate. I have never heard that they can cure diseases and save people?" The pig demon said while eating the food in the rice bowl. While talking.
"I haven't heard of it either. There doesn't seem to be anyone specializing in medicine in Qingcheng Mountain. I guess this guy Meng just wants to take us to fish in troubled waters and find a place to have a good meal and have a good sleep." Yi Niao touched it. His chin showed a thoughtful look, "Don't mention it, the food of this Huo family is really good, tsk tsk tsk, they are really rich. Hey, I seem to remember that there seemed to be a Huo family in Chang'an before!"
The pig demon shook his big head and said, "I don't know either. Don't think too much. They invited us here. It would be nice to have us entertained with delicious food and drinks."
Yiniao looked at the pig demon with disdain, "You idiot, you just eat and eat every day without thinking about anything. You don't even know when someone comes and sells you."
"Haha, I am also a sixth-grade demon. If anyone with no eyes dares to betray me, his head will be ripped off by him."
"Tch, you eat and sleep every day, and you don't know any skills. Even if you are a sixth-grade warrior, I estimate that a fifth-grade warrior can hang you up and beat you." Yi Niao said with disdain.
"I don't believe that a fifth-grade warrior can beat me to death!" the pig demon said disdainfully.
Yi Niao also fell silent at this time, although he despised the pig demon in his heart.
But to be honest, this pig demon has no other abilities, but its ability to withstand beatings is quite good.
Although the pig demon made him very unhappy when he was under the Demon Suppressing Tower, there was nothing he could do about the pig demon with its rough skin and extremely thick flesh.
The flesh on this thing is almost comparable to a weapon. It is invulnerable to invulnerability, water and fire. Even if he wants to break the defense and hurt the pig demon, it will take a lot of effort.
Fortunately, the pig demon's head is not very easy to use, otherwise the position of boss in the demon suppressing tower might not belong to Yiniao.
"Hey, they're finally here."
Yi Niao stood up and turned around. A sound of footsteps came from outside the yard. It was Huo Jia who led Meng Xuyue and the two of them there.
The pig demon suddenly arched his head and looked up into the distance.
Yi Niao asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"
The pig demon frowned, "I seem to feel the aura of a master."
Yi Niao said disdainfully, "You should just eat your food with peace of mind! With all that stuff in your head, isn't it just eating and sleeping?"
The pig demon shook its head, but did not refute anything. After all, in its view, eating, drinking and sleeping every day was a normal life.
"Two distinguished guests, please
Please rest here first. If you need anything, you can ask the servants in the house. Huo Jia stopped at the door and said, "I won't interrupt you now." "
After saying that, Huo Jia turned and left.
Liao Meng watched Huo Jia's figure go away.
"The eldest son of the Huo family should be thinking about how to escape safely now." Xu Yue walked over slowly and said.
"Victory and defeat are common things in military affairs. It's not surprising to lose." Liao Meng said, "And now the old man may not be able to wake up, and he may not lose."
"That miracle doctor doesn't look simple. Maybe he can really save the old man."
"The water in the Huo family is very deep, and there must be a secret hidden behind it."
"But this is not what we need to solve." Xu Yue looked at Meng's face and said, "You are not blaming yourself for failing to help Huo Jia save the old man, and want to help Huo Jia rise to power in other ways? !”
Luo Meng was silent for a while.
"Refining the heart in the world of mortals emphasizes understanding the various states of all living beings, and not becoming the various states of all living beings. Fellow Taoist Luomeng, you have caught the eye." Xu Yue sighed.
After hearing this, Liao Meng fell into silence for a long time, then turned around and walked into the yard, saying to Yiniao and Pig Demon, "We will leave here tomorrow."
Yi Niao was a little puzzled when he heard this, "We're just going to stay for one night and then leave? Why don't we stay for a few more days?"
Without explaining the dream, he went straight into the house.
Xu Yue said with a smile, "What? Fellow Taoist Yiniao, do you still want to stay here for a few more days? After experience in the world of mortals, you can't be greedy for the world of mortals! You won't be able to cultivate the right path like this!"
For some reason, Yi Niao was panicked by Xu Yue's seemingly smiling eyes. He always felt uncomfortable and felt that the other party seemed to be able to see something in him.
"No, I have to have confidence in the Human Emperor. He has promised us that if we use the Human Emperor Sword to remove the demonic aura from our bodies, no one will be able to tell that we are demons. Well, that's it." Yiniao said to himself Said.
"Hey, people are talking to you, why are you ignoring them!" The pig demon said to Yiniao.
Only then did Yiniao react, and he forced a smile and said to Xuyue, "No, no, I have a deep brotherly relationship with Taoist Meng, how could we part ways with him! It was all a joke just now, don't take it seriously. I have to go with him."
"By the way, how did you meet fellow Taoist Meng? I've never heard him mention you before. Also, when I visited Qingcheng Mountain last time, I remembered that fellow Taoist Meng had two demon pets. In addition to these Besides the pig demon, there is also a bird demon. Why is this bird demon missing now? Hey, the evil spirit on the pig demon is also gone. What's going on..."
Listening to Xu Yue's series of questions, Yiniao felt dizzy and hesitated for a while, unable to answer.
At the beginning, the monks of Mount Putuo were the second sect besides Qingcheng Mountain to cause headaches to the demon clan. At that time, Mount Putuo, headed by Master Kuhai, also suppressed countless demon clans.
Looking at the smile in Xu Yue's eyes, he always felt that there was teasing and ridicule in it.
At this time Meng walked out of the house.
"Senior Brother Xuyue, please stop bullying these two monsters."
Xu Yue laughed and said, "These two monsters are also very cute, I can't help but want to tease them."
Liao Meng turned to Yi Niao and said, "I have told Senior Brother Xu Yue about you a long time ago. You don't have to think about hiding it from him."
Yiniao stared at Xuyue with a pair of resentful eyes, and Xuyue couldn't help laughing again.
As for the pig demon, he was still eating his meal hummingly.
