178. The catastrophe is imminent(1/2)
Chu Mingze went to the top of the mountain to check the place where the accident happened. He was about to go and see how Qin Zheng was doing when he heard a scream, which was coming from Guan Qinzheng's place!
Chu Mingze's expression changed, and when he passed by as fast as possible, he saw that the cave was empty and there was no one. In the deep pool under the waterfall, there were two old men's corpses floating on the water, one facing up and the other facing down, his neck was twisted abnormally, and there was no trace of blood!
The heavy rain washed away the traces left by Ye Ling, and there was no sign of fighting.
The corpse with scarred face and mustache was caught and placed on the shore. Both of them looked pale, their eyes were protruding, and their death was terrifying. There were similar scars on their necks, which were obviously wrapped around their necks by iron chains and were hanged alive!
Ye Ling's Tianxie Sword was still in Chu Mingze's hands. It was originally a chain of bondage, but she used it as a weapon.
Yu Shu washed his face, changed his clothes, sat down in his room and drank a cup of hot tea. When he heard the screams outside, the tea cup in his hand fell to the ground.
When he arrived at the door, he saw the rain was getting faster and Yu Shu found an umbrella, held it up, and walked out.
As soon as he left the courtyard, Yu Shu stepped on the mossy stone slab, sat on the ground, and fell hard, feeling that the tailbone was hurting very much.
Nowadays, Yu Shu is no longer as before. Like an old woman, he lost his original body and also lost his powerful martial arts that he had practiced for decades. It is actually difficult to find a host who was born at the same time in the same year, month and the same day, and there is no choice.
The umbrella fell not far away, and the clean clothes that Yu Shu had just changed into was soaked in the rain. He turned out to be a comfortable and glamorous life, but recently he encountered setbacks and had long lost his former rationality.
"Come!" Yu Shu roared in anger.
Someone rushed over and helped Yu Shu up. Yu Shu was unsteady and looked gloomy, "What happened over there?"
"Master, Qin Zheng is gone, Lao Meng and Lao Jia who are guarding him are both dead!" The person who is holding Yu Shu's face looks ugly.
Yu Shu shook his body and widened his eyes, "What did you say? Qin Zheng is gone?"
In the courtyard behind him, the old woman yelled angryly, "Things that are not enough to succeed are enough to make trouble! Why don't you ask someone to chase after me!"
Yu Shu's face was gloomy, and he pushed away the person who was supporting him, and said with a cold face, "Let everyone chase after you! Follow Chi Yan's instructions!"
After saying that, Yu Shu was left alone standing in the rain. He didn't pick up the umbrella that fell not far away, held the wall, and walked slowly back to the yard to the old woman's room.
As soon as he entered the door, a teacup hit Yu Shu, "Are you satisfied now? What a good thing, you've got it messed up!"
Yu Shu avoided his head and the teacup hit his shoulder. He said with a dark face, "Sister, this is not the result I want!"
"But this is the result of your own hands!" The old woman was furious, "If Ye Ling took Qin Zheng away, then you can only let your idiot subordinates catch people and find ways to catch Baili Su. Do you think they can do it?"
The reason why Ye Ling and Qin Zheng are very important as hostages is that both the old woman and Yu Shu have already seen the minds and strength of Ye Ling and Nangong Heng.
After Ye Ling and Nangong Heng knew their background and had enough defense, they would send people to capture Baili Su or other hostages, not that it was impossible, but the possibility of success was too small! Even if Yu Shu had many masters? No one was really smart! Send them out, the final result would be like Mu Zhongtian, who would go without returning!
Qin Zheng is a very critical hostage. This is an important step for the old woman and Yu Shu to reverse the previous failure and take the initiative back! Using Qin Zheng to capture Ye Ling again is a surprise! As long as you firmly control these two hostages and then face Nangong Heng, they can do whatever they want!
As a result, it was completely ruined overnight!
When he was scolded by the old woman, Yu Shu was also full of anger and stammered his neck and said, "There is Qin Yiru! Qin Zheng can't ignore her!"
"Don't mention that bitch! It's all the stupid things you two fools got together!" the old woman said angrily, "You have only gained a good reputation that you have no use in the past few years. Once you are ruined, you have not made any progress at all!"
Yu Shu suddenly stood up, "Sister! I have always respected you, but be polite! If it weren't for me, you would have died long ago! The people in your Anle Tower would have died long ago, and only one Chiyan is left. Now it's all up to my people to support you!"
The old woman slapped the table heavily, her eyes dark, "It's up to your people to support me? Your people can only do bad things! When I poisoned Nangong Heng, I said that Chi Yan would do it. You have to go to Nangong Heng's wedding banquet in person! If the matter is done, your life will be lost. It's all good things your people do! If you find a group of old guys who are greedy for life and fear of death, what's the use of martial arts?"
Yu Shu became more and more angry as he heard it! He couldn't help but sneer, "Sister, you have carefully selected a group of loyal subordinates. As a result, Su Tang has betrayed you? He directly destroyed the entire Anle Tower! If Su Tang hadn't exposed and betrayed you, you were still on the Eternal Life Island, and my divine doctor valley was perfect without any flaws! Nangong Heng and Ye Ling could not know the existence of the reincarnation Gu! I am still Baili Su's great benefactor, Nangong Heng's master. If he wanted to get Baili Su's blood, it would be easy for him to deliver it to him! It would be even more effortless to move Nangong Heng!"
The old woman's face was distorted, "What do you mean?"
"Sister, we are brothers and sisters. I will give you face. Don't really treat yourself as the boss! Everything is good, but the bad things will be ruined by you! People who say I am stupid? Your people are not stupid, and you sold you directly! Are you not very proud of your loyal subordinates in the huge Anle Building? What happened? Ye Ling alone destroyed me! They said I am stupid? Why don't you see what you did? When I saw Ye Ling for the first time, I yelled and passed on your life's skills to her, and she deceived me!" Yu Shu snorted coldly and said.
"You! Stop talking!" The old woman trembled all over with anger.
Because of blood relationship, the two brothers have always maintained close cooperative relationships, but after all, they have their own interests. If you really want to talk about feelings, this kind of pervert who is fantasy and wants to achieve eternal life. What kind of feelings can you have? It's just a mutual use!
At the beginning, Yu Shu was very disappointed, but he felt that it was okay because it did not harm his interests. The old woman's research on the reincarnation Gu over the years was shared with Yu Shu. In fact, Yu Shu himself was doing it secretly, and even deliberately hid it from the old woman.
But later, step by step, everything about Yu Shu was destroyed by Nangong Heng and Ye Ling. How could he accept it? With Yu Shu's extremely arrogant and conceited personality, he would definitely not think that it was his fault! In his opinion, it was the old woman's fault from beginning to end! The root of it lies with her! If something hadn't happened to her, Nangong Heng and Ye Ling might not have known what the reincarnation Gu is in their entire lives! It would be even more impossible to doubt him!
But the old woman was even more arrogant and arrogant. Controlling other people's life and death gave her confidence, making her firm believe that she could successfully make an unrestricted reincarnation Gu, and live and Tianqi! She never looked down on Yu Shu, because in the path of poison art, Yu Shu was not as talented as hers, and Yu Shu's hypocrisy made her not like him.
So when the old woman had just died and escaped, she woke up in the Divine Doctor Valley, even though she was in a state of nothing at that time, she was still not polite to Yu Shu.
This kind of sibling relationship has always been distorted.
When the situation is good, they can do "big things" together. But now, their situation is getting worse and worse, and they have lost their calmness.
The old woman now thinks that Yu Shu is too stupid and that the hostages he gets can be allowed to fly!
But Yu Shu thought that the old woman was too stupid, and indirectly ruined everything he had worked hard for many years! Otherwise, how could he fall into this situation today?
Yu Shu became more and more angry as he thought about it. He looked at the old woman and sneered, "Sister, your vision is so good! He picked a young woman with a demon-like mind, and you turned her into a real top master with your own hands! She turned her on the other hand and ruined everything about me and kept trying to get rid of you! Just yesterday, I caught her. I wanted to touch her, but you didn't let her go! OK! I can't touch her, and I even forgot to give her poison! Are you satisfied with everything that happened today?"
The old woman looked at Yu Shu with a very cold look, "Do you still have the face to talk about what happened today? Ye Ling was out of control, and it was because of the stupid things you, the idiot, did that made her find an opportunity!"
Both the siblings insisted that it was the other party’s fault, and the other party was a fool, and a fierce quarrel broke out! In this way, they vented their anger in their hearts, and even forgot for a moment that the main thing is important...
Once some words in your mind are said, the cracks will be irreversible.
The heavy rain did not stop, and Chu Mingze rushed over and saw the old woman and Yu Shu brothers blushing and quarrel.
Chu Mingze reported the latest situation. The old woman and Yu Shu temporarily stopped quarreling, and no one looked at each other. One looked ugly than the other.
"Go chase! They both carry chains on their bodies. How far can they run? Why don't you chase them quickly!" the old woman said sternly.
Chu Mingze lowered his eyes and said respectfully, "Because the heavy rain washed away, there was no sign of their escape, and it was impossible to confirm which road they left. The subordinates have arranged people to chase them in various possible directions."
"Why don't you go?" Yu Shu asked coldly. The masters under his command were not convinced by Chu Mingze. The fundamental reason was that Yu Shu himself looked down on Chu Mingze, especially when the old woman always said that Chu Mingze was smart and steady, and belittled the people on Yu Shu's side.
Chu Mingze sighed slightly, "Master, my subordinates think that this place is extremely unsafe and must leave as soon as possible!"
The old woman and Yu Shu both changed their expressions!
"It's raining so heavily, where are you going?" Yu Shu asked coldly, "The movement is too loud and attracts attention. Have you ever thought about the consequences? You know how to hide when you encounter something! Even if we leave, we still have to deal with Nangong Heng next!"
"But the next thing can be discussed in a long-term way. We still have some available experts. If we lose Ye Ling and Qin Zheng, we can find a way to catch hostages. Now at least Qin Yiru is still in hand." Chu Mingze said respectfully.
The old woman's expression changed again and again, "Okay! Let's listen to Chi Yan's arrangements next! Leave here as soon as possible!"
Yu Shu's face was gloomy and his lips were stuttering, and he did not object in the end. Because he also felt deeply uneasy. Ye Ling was arrested, Nangong Heng would not do anything. Now Ye Ling ran away. He stayed here and waited for them. I don't know what would be.
As for the hostage Qin Yiru, it can be used, but the value is too low and it is not enough to give them a sense of security.
"Be prepared first. When the rain stops, if we still can't find Ye Ling and Qin Zheng, we will leave! There is a place to go, which is Qin Zheng's Xiaoyao Valley! I believe Nangong Heng wouldn't have thought that we would go back to that place!" Yu Shu made the decision without any doubt.
In fact, Chu Mingze thought that it was safest to leave immediately. But he was not the one who made the decision. Seeing that the old woman did not object to Yu Shu's words, Chu Mingze went down to make arrangements.
At this time, Ye Ling and Qin Zheng were still hiding in a hidden stone cave in the valley.
Ye Ling was soaked all over, and the cold wind blew in, shivering.
Qin Zheng then noticed that there were a few scratched blood marks on Ye Ling's face. When she fell off the cliff, she used everything that could buffer to save her life, and she was inevitably slightly injured.
Qin Zheng felt distressed, but he didn't dare to speak, for fear of attracting the enemy. He thought silently in his heart that from today on, Ye Ling, like Nangong Heng, is the child he wants to protect. As long as he has the ability, he will do his best!
Ye Ling took off her shoes. The shoes were made of special, with thickened soles and waterproofed with greased paper in the mezzanine. Ye Ling tore a layer of soles, and a knife as thin as a cicada wing, a thin iron wire, and a thin paper bag fell out from it.
Qin Zheng widened his eyes and saw Ye Ling picking up the paper bag, put it in his hand, and writing on the ground with his fingers, "This is the antidote, which may help the master restore his martial arts."
Qin Zheng looked happy and opened the paper bag. There was a layer of light yellow powder inside.
Nangong Heng and Ye Ling did not go to the appointment on the first day of August. When they planned to follow up, they expected that they might fall into a trap or be captured. They even discussed in advance. If there was an abnormality, Ye Ling would go on and Nangong Heng avoid it. Once caught, Ye Ling would not be in danger of his life, but there was a great possibility that he would be poisoned and sealed his internal strength and would not be able to use martial arts.
Therefore, Nangong Heng and Ye Ling made the simplest but most likely preparations in advance, hiding them in the midsole of the shoe, and not afraid of searching for their bodies.
The weapon will inevitably be taken away, and a knife can kill people. If it is locked by iron chains, Ye Ling's ability to unlock the lock with iron wire can work. This antidote was carefully prepared by Nangong Heng, just in case.
Yu Shu didn't poison Ye Ling, but Ye Ling was actually a little surprised. However, the result was not much different. She had not removed the chains yet, so she went to save Qin Zheng first because the situation at that time was racing against time and the opportunity was not missed.
If all the masters guarding Qin Zheng return to their positions, two turn into four, Ye Ling’s hunting plan will not be feasible. The chains that bound her are excellent weapons in the water.
Qin Zheng poured the medicine powder from the paper bag into his mouth. After a moment, he sprayed out a mouthful of blood. He felt that the stagnant Dantian had recovered! He couldn't help but look overjoyed!
Ye Ling was focusing on unlocking the lock. Although he was a black iron chain that was twisted by a master, this ancient lock was not too complicated.
A subtle cracking sound came out, and the chains that bound Ye Ling's feet fell to the ground. Qin Zheng's eyes lit up and he gave Ye Ling a thumbs up.
Then, Ye Ling opened the lock on his hand again and removed the chains on Qin Zheng's body. The two of them were finally free.
Unfortunately, Ye Ling did not prepare the antidote for the mute medicine, so she still couldn't speak.
"Xiao Ye, when it gets dark, I will escort you away first and then come back to save Aru." Qin Zheng said in a low voice.
Ye Ling shook her head and wrote on the ground, "Let's go together."
Whether to save Qin Yiru is not within Ye Ling's consideration. But this time, since she has come, she cannot leave so easily, otherwise everything will return to the starting point soon, because the troubles on them have not been resolved. If they save Qin Zheng, those people may target other hostages.
But of course, Qin Yiru is the daughter Qin Zheng cares about the most. It is natural for Qin Zheng to save her, and Ye Ling will not stop him.
Moreover, Ye Ling was thinking that with Chu Mingze's extremely cautious personality, after she left control, these people were very likely to quickly move to another place. We should not wait for Nangong Heng to appear, and we should do it when it is time to do it.
In the evening, the rain stopped.
The quiet valley was misty, and Wanyan You stood in the old woman's room with her baggage on her back. She agreed that it was dark to leave.
Originally, the people from the Divine Doctor Valley were all used by Yu Shu, leaving only the experts who were useful to him. Two more died today, and there are only nine masters of all sizes left, plus Chu Mingze, the only subordinate of the old woman, a total of ten masters. With the old woman who has no martial arts skills, and the pregnant Wanyan You, and the hostage Qin Yiru, four masters are needed.
Compared to when they once lived in Anle Tower and Divine Doctor Valley, the situation of the siblings is now miserable.
After a fight today, the old woman and Yu Shu stopped talking and did not have any eye contact, although they reached a consensus and wanted to leave.
It was getting dark and everyone had assembled. Chu Mingze had already visited various places to investigate, without any abnormalities, and had chosen the most secret path.
"Let's go." The old woman said coldly. Chu Mingze came over, turned around in front of her, lowered her head, and carried her on her back. Chu Mingze was surrounded by Ye Ling's Tianxie Sword.
