Chapter 90: Easy to say
Lei Zongliang nodded and walked out.
Liaodong is in the midst of a turbulent period.
At a time like this, a man with extraordinary martial arts skills took great pains to sneak into the caravan. As the leader of the guard team, he had to hear what he had to say.
"etc."
When Zhou Bangrui saw that the two of them were going to leave him alone, he hurriedly said to Cao Jinxing: "Brother Wang, don't forget, you just promised to tell me the results of your investigation..."
"hehe."
Cao Jinxing sneered: "You still have the nerve to say that!" I just left for a while and you sold me out!
Zhou Bangrui was a little embarrassed: "I'm not good at Qinggong, and someone found out. I have to tell them... Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall is a famous and upright sect, and the third hall master Lei is well-known for his chivalry. Besides, I'm just saying a name..."
Cao Jinxing rolled his eyes and asked, "How much do you know in total?"
"Let him follow."
Lei Zongliang looked at the black cloth in Zhou Bangrui's hand, and suddenly remembered something, and said meaningfully: "...It is understandable that he is eager to save his father."
Zhou Bangrui was shocked: "You..."
Lei Zongliang said, "I just used the Thunderbolt Hand to test your origins. Although you only use ordinary martial arts to hide your family martial arts, unfortunately, your internal strength cannot be changed. I happen to have seen this kind of internal strength... "Thunder Art", right? It is the unique internal strength of Zhou Hongru, the head of the Huiyou Escort Agency and the 'Thunder Spear'. I was wondering which disciple of his you are, until I remembered something just now... If I guess correctly, you should be holding the famous two-stage spear [Purple Lightning]. You are his second son, Zhou Mingrui."
"…It seems that I have done too much."
Zhou Mingrui smiled bitterly and said, "Third Hall Master Lei is well-informed. In that case, there is no need for me to hide anything. Yes, this is [Purple Lightning], and I am indeed here because of my father's disappearance. I come from Huiyou Escort Agency, and rashly entering another caravan might cause misunderstandings, so I am keeping it a secret. I hope Third Hall Master will forgive me."
"understand."
Lei Zongliang nodded and said, "The escort agency has many rules. I heard that Mr. Zhou Er has mastered the true teachings of the Thunder Spear and was even given the name of the spear [Purple Lightning]. Now that I have seen it, I know that the rumors are true."
"It's just that my eldest brother is not interested in this."
Zhou Mingrui didn't want to say more on this topic. He looked closely at Cao Jinxing, waiting for him to tell him the result.
Lei Zongliang also looked at Cao Jinxing, and said with a smile: "Since 'Brother Zhou' is the second young master of Huiyou Escort Agency, one of the top ten escort agencies in Central Plains, and came here to save his father, then this 'Brother Wang' is..."
"Wang Wu, a commoner from Hebei."
Cao Jinxing cupped his hands and said, "My reason is similar to his. I am looking for my missing brother... Third Hall Master, please forgive me for being so presumptuous. Jiangnan Pili Hall has always been mainly engaged in the firearms business. It is well known that it does not seem to be involved in escorting caravans. What are you doing..."
Lei Zongliang asked: "Is this matter related to the important matter that Brother Wang wants to talk about?"
Cao Jinxing said: "Yes."
Lei Zongliang glanced at him and said, "Mr. Shen from Jiangnan has done a favor to our Lei family. His goods, let alone just a few robbers, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, the Lei family will help him through it!"
"Understood."
Cao Jinxing said, "I'm afraid... these are not ordinary robbers. If there is any mistake, not only will the 30,000 pieces of high-quality silk worth 300,000 taels of silver be lost, but the Third Hall Master and the entire caravan may never return!"
Zhou Mingrui was shocked.
Lei Zongliang narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Brother Wang...are you exaggerating? The robbers were able to make the caravan led by Chief Escort Zhou mysteriously disappear . They are really amazing! My twenty-seven Lei brothers and I are not as good as them in martial arts, but my Lei family never relies on martial arts alone to kill people! Do you know how much gunpowder I brought on this trip? Even if it is a thousand-man Tatar team, I can send them to the west! Going but not returning? What a joke!"
"The Third Hall Master is very confident, which is a good thing."
Cao Jinxing said calmly, "I just don't know if gunpowder can resist poison. Can you and your twenty-seven brothers resist poison?"
“…”
Lei Zongliang frowned slightly and stared at him.
Cao Jinxing extended his hand and said, "Please move aside. I need a quiet place. Before we talk, I need to confirm one thing first."
Zhou Mingrui asked: "What's the matter?"
Cao Jinxing asked quietly: "Are you 'poisoned'?..."
Snake venom is hard to guard against!
Since the person behind the scenes was able to manipulate Wu Yunfeng to airlift the Black Scaled Golden Flame Snake to his fellow disciples, there is no guarantee that he has not manipulated others.
Therefore, even though these two people are from famous families and have come from far away, for safety reasons, they must first be given acupuncture to remove the poison, just in case!
Cao Jinxing took out the [Phoenix Tail Needle].
The three of them had just met, and Cao Jinxing was hiding his true appearance. Lei Zongliang and Zhou Mingrui were quite worried about him until they saw the set of [Phoenix Tail Needles] in his hand.
There are a total of fifty-four needles in this set. They are blue-green all over and sparkling. The needle bodies are engraved with patterns and the tails have curved carvings similar to the tail feathers of a phoenix, which are gorgeous and elegant.
"【Phoenix Tail Needle】?"
As soon as Cao Jinxing took out the needle, Lei Zongliang recognized it and breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Mingrui didn't know the name, but when he heard it, he felt a lot more relaxed.
Cao Jinxing was a little surprised by their obvious change in attitude : "What are you two doing..."
Lei Zongliang smiled and said, "If you had taken it out earlier, there would be no need to test each other... [Phoenix Tail Needle] is the first of the 'Ten Famous Bird Needles' in Yaowang Valley. The current owner should be Huang Fangling, the disciple of the Medical Immortal and the ninth on the Langya Beauty List. Since Brother Wang can gain her trust, he is definitely not a bad person."
Cao Jinxing raised his eyebrows and said, "That's not possible, it can't be that I stole or robbed it?"
Lei Zongliang said with a smile: "Can the 'Blood-Pointing and Pulse-Severing Needle' be stolen or robbed? The way you held the needle just now is clearly the secret technique of the Medicine King Valley 'Blood-Pointing and Pulse-Severing Needle'. I, Lei, do have some good eyesight. Let's go, I know a place where we can talk about it."
He led the way, with Zhou Mingrui following closely behind.
These two people took over the show and couldn't wait any longer... Cao Jinxing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but as far as the result was concerned, it was of course a good thing.
"I didn't expect that this set of needles could be used in such a miraculous way..."
What I didn't expect was that Huang Fangling, or the name of Yaowang Valley, was so effective.
The three of them came to a mountain temple not far outside the town.
Zhou Mingrui lit a torch.
Three people sat around.
Cao Jinxing used acupuncture to remove the poison from the two men one by one. The two men looked normal and it was confirmed that they were not poisoned. Cao Jinxing then told them about the [Black Scaled Golden Flame Snake].
"If we don't get rid of this snake and the person behind it, the thirty miles of road will be a natural barrier! The enemy is powerful, so we can't fight them head-on at the moment. The most important thing now is to rescue the poisoned people and weaken their strength. I beg you two to lend me a helping hand!"
Cao Jinxing bowed solemnly with his fists clasped.
Zhou Mingrui and Lei Zongliang were both shocked!
I didn't expect there was such a secret!
Lei Zongliang felt a pang of fear. If this was true, and if he relied on the powerful firearms to act on his own, he would probably repeat the same mistake and his entire army would be wiped out!
Not to mention anything else, as long as the black snake is lying in ambush in the cargo box and suddenly attacks and bites them when they are counting the goods, at least one of the brothers will be turned into a snake corpse!
The Snake Mother can then use this person to attack the guards one by one. Relying on the feelings they have developed in the past, the others will be caught off guard, and her success rate will surely increase greatly. Before they know it, the whole team will be turned into snake corpses!
At that time, the snake mother only needs to think about it and she can make the caravan change direction and turn to the snake tamer's lair...
Send yourself to be their prisoner!
No one is seen alive, no body is seen dead...
Zhou Mingrui also figured this out, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead: "No wonder Dad and the others fell for it... No wonder Green Ear from the Wanma Gang did that... It's all connected..."
Zhou Mingrui raised his head and said in a deep voice: "I will help you! This is also to help myself. I want to rescue my father, and I hope that Brother Wang can help my father remove the poison!"
Cao Jinxing nodded: "Of course."
He looked at Lei Zongliang.
Lei Zongliang said: "Brother Wang is very eloquent and has the trust of the disciple of the Medical Immortal. In addition, Brother Zhou saw the Green Ears' abnormality with his own eyes, so I naturally believe it! If such a strange snake venom is allowed to spread, the consequences will be disastrous! Whether it is for the public or for private reasons, it is imperative to eliminate the harm! However, as you said, you have already released the pigeons and missed the opportunity to find the nest. How are we going to find them next?"
"No problem."
Cao Jinxing said: "The Golden Flame Snake is treacherous and unpredictable, but it is not omnipotent. It seems that it cannot control the snake corpses for a long time. During the long night, it hypnotizes them into a deep sleep. There must be carrier pigeons in the pigeon cage in the Green Ear Room that travel to and from the nest. We can follow it."
"good!"
Lei Zongliang stood up: "Green Ear has already stepped on the point, and you can imagine what he will do next! Time waits for no one, let's set off immediately!"
