A Clash of Gods - Chapter 227

[Chapter 226 Suzaku]

When all the beggars approached Qi Ning, Zhao Wushang had already pulled out the big sword a few inches, and said coldly, “Are you going to rebel?”

All the beggars suddenly stopped. Although Qi Ning was still glaring at each other, he also showed a hint of fear. At this time, he did not forget that Qi Ning was the Jinyi Hou of the Great Chu Kingdom.

Although the beggar gang has countless gangs, it is the largest gang in the world, but after all, they dare not really fight against the imperial court.

Among the twenty-eight sub-rudders of the beggar gang, the Guijinyang sub-rudders are already the top three sub-rudders in terms of strength and gangs under their jurisdiction. Although the 28-rudder rudders have the same status and are on an equal footing, every time the beggar gang conference At the time, Bai Shenghao’s speech was obviously more than most of the helmsmen.

There are tens of thousands of people under him, and the tens of thousands of disciples of the beggar gang all follow his lead.

It’s just that the backbones of these ghosts, gold and sheep are very clear in their hearts. The beggar gang disciples are mixed, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are rabble. Even if they are in the top three among the twenty-eight rudders, they are really famous in the arena. The characters are only a few dozen.

If there is a conflict with the imperial court, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for the ghost gold sheep at the foot of the emperor.

At this moment, he heard a coughing sound. Qi Ning followed the sound and saw a person slowly walking out from the dark place in the corner.

The man was in his early fifties and did not wear white linen mourning clothes, but he had a white kerchief wrapped around his head and a bird-headed staff in his hand. Made of refined iron.

This person is slightly fat, with bright eyes, and a bunch of goat beards floating under his jaw. When Qi Ning saw this person, his heart froze.

“If you have something to say, you don’t have to draw your swords.” The man said in a low voice, “I have no grudges between the Beggar Gang and the Jinyi Hou Mansion. Before things are clarified, they are peaceful.”

Qi Ning glanced at Bai Shenghao and saw Bai Shenghao bowing slightly, with a slightly respectful expression on his face, he immediately understood, and cupped his hands to the old man: “Senior is the elder Vermilion Bird of the Beggar Gang, right?”

The old man looked at Qi Ning and said with a smile, “The Hou Jinyi has good eyesight.”

Qi Ning thought that these people are very respectful to you, even Bai Shenghao is so respectful in front of you, to guess your identity, you don’t need any good eyesight.

“Jinyi Hou called me a senior, so it can be seen that Lord Hou is also a person who understands etiquette and measures.” The old man raised his hand and said, “Get a seat for Lord Hou!”

Soon someone brought a rather old chair, Qi Ning was not polite and sat down in the hall.

“Master Hou said he wanted to prepare an antidote?” Elder Zhuque sat down opposite Qi Ning, still holding an iron staff, “Old beggar, dare to ask, Master Hou knows medical skills?”

Qi Ning looked at the black iron rod, and now he could see it more clearly. The iron rod was uneven, and it seemed that there was a snake coiled on the rod. The snake was very realistically carved, and the top of the iron rod was a With a bird’s head and a beak like a long thorn, he thought that this person was Elder Suzaku, but he didn’t know if the head of the stick was Suzaku?

If it is not unexpected, this iron rod may represent the identity of the elder Suzaku.

“I don’t understand, but someone else understands.” Qi Ning said, “Elder Suzaku, you should know in your heart that if this poison is incomprehensible, not only will your beggar gang be wiped out, but the entire capital will also face a huge disaster. .”

Elder Suzaku nodded and said, “Then Hou Ye know what kind of poison this is?”

“I don’t know.” Qi Ning shook his head and said, “And I don’t think the most important thing right now is to figure out what the poison is.”

“Oh?”

“Elder Suzaku knows better than me. Many of your beggar gang disciples have died now, but this is just the beginning. If I am not wrong, there are still a large number of people in your gang infected with the virus.” Qi Ning stared at Elder Suzaku’s eyes: “After the outbreak of the virus, what kind of scene did the elders have seen?”

Elder Suzaku’s expression became serious, and he nodded: “It’s terrifying!”

“Elders, you know that it’s not just your beggar gang disciples who are infected now. I don’t dare to say other places, but the Qinhuai River has already begun to spread, and some people have already suffered.” Qi Ning’s expression was serious: “That is to say,

As early as a few days ago, the epidemic virus had spread rapidly in the capital. I can’t determine the exact number of people infected now, but it must be an astonishing number.

”

Elder Suzaku frowned and said, “Master Hou is here tonight, does he really have nothing to do with other people?”

“You’re talking about the Black Lotus Sect?” Qi Ning said, “I don’t know what black lotus and white lotus are. I only know that if we continue to consume it like this, more people will die.”

Elder Suzaku asked curiously, “What do you mean by this, Lord Hou?”

“Most of your beggar gang disciples live together. If someone has an outbreak of the virus, you can quickly control it and prevent him from running around.” Qi Ning said: “And listening to your tone, you have realized the seriousness of the problem. It’s just that your eyes have always been placed within the Beggar Gang, and in the past few days, you have been trying to solve the problem of the poisoning of the disciples within the Beggar Gang.”

Around a dozen beggars looked at each other, apparently Qi Ning guessed it right.

“You’ve been spying on our beggar gang?” a man on the side asked in a rough voice.

Elder Suzaku suddenly looked at the man, a cold light shot out from his eyes, and the man immediately lowered his head and stepped aside.

“Monitoring?” Qi Ning glanced at it and sneered: “We are not from the same world, I don’t have time to monitor you. I just know that the beginning of this epidemic started with your beggar gang. You can The disciples in the control gang are running around, but those innocent people are caught off guard, can they stop the family around them from rushing to the streets?”

Bai Shenghao’s lips moved slightly, but Elder Suzaku was beside him, but he didn’t dare to say more.

Elder Zhuque thought for a while before saying, “There may have been some misunderstandings before, Lord Hou, our beggar gang and your Jinyi Houfu have nothing to do with it before, but tonight people from your Houfu suddenly came to the door and asked us to borrow a corpse. , and also said that if it is delayed, the beggar gang will be wiped out. Many disciples have died these days, and the brothers in the gang are all tense, and they are a little impulsive to do things.” Shen said: “Let people out. !”

Bai Shenghao hesitated for a while, but still winked at one of them, who immediately went down.

“Qi Feng came to the door because he wanted to borrow a corpse to go home. We can prescribe the right medicine, figure out the reaction between the poison and the body, and formulate the antidote as quickly as possible.” Qi Ning said: “If the antidote cannot be prepared. Come out, you can beggar gang will indeed suffer the disaster.”

Elder Suzaku nodded slightly and said, “What Marquis said is very true. So, does Marquis have an expert who can prepare an antidote?”

“I don’t dare to guarantee, but we will do our best on our side.” Qi Ning said, “This is not to save a certain person, nor is it just for your beggar gang. There are too many people infected this time, we must Do your best.”

Seeing Qi Ning’s serious face, Elder Suzaku thought about it for a while, and finally said, “Don’t hide it, Lord Marquis, we, Guijinyangfenruo, also have experts who understand poison. When the poison first started, we didn’t notice it, we just thought it was sick The disease, but the people who fell one by one, we realized the seriousness of the problem. Not only did we help the experts who knew medical skills in China, but we also invited a few experts in Xinglin from the rivers and lakes. Finally, we learned that it spread among the beggar gangs. It is an extremely powerful poison. Everything is just as Hou Ye said, this poison is not only extremely poisonous, but also contagious. In just a few days, more than forty brothers of the Beggar Gang have died, and there are still others. Two or three hundred people were infected.”

Qi Ning said in horror, “Have two or three hundred members of your beggar gang been infected?”

Elder Suzaku said with a wry smile: “The disciples of the Beggar Gang have always been in groups and walked around with each other. My Guijinyang disciples live in harmony and love each other.

“Where are these infected people?” Qi Ning didn’t have time to listen to his nonsense and asked directly.

Elder Suzaku said: “Old Beggar knew that the situation was serious, and after discovering that the poison could be contagious, he immediately issued an order to divide the infected disciples into several places to place them, and sent guards to prevent them from appearing in front of people.” He got up and said: “Can Lord Hou move?”

Qi Ning nodded, Elder Suzaku took a cane and led the way, Qi Ning followed behind, Zhao Wushang and others were about to follow, Elder Suzaku said, “Don’t worry, my beggar gang won’t bring disaster on itself, It won’t hurt the Marquis, if you are willing, just follow.”

The responsibility of Zhao Wushang and others was to protect Qi Ning, and they followed.

Going out from the back door of the main hall, there is another large yard behind, and there is a row of wooden houses behind it.

Elder Suzaku walked to the window and pushed open one of the windows. Qi Ning leaned in and took a look inside. He saw that there were more than 20 beggars in the not-so-spacious room, some lying on haystacks, some Leaning against the wall, UU reads www.

sonicmtl.com looked at their faces, one by one with despair and despair. Many people had blisters on their faces, and blood was flowing from the blisters, which was extremely disgusting.

“Hey, it’s…is it him?” Qi Ning glanced at a person, stunned for a moment, he made a voice, there were very few beggars looking up, and the beggar Qi Ning saw also raised his head and followed the sound. Seeing Qi Ning’s face outside the window, he froze for a moment, then stood up from the ground, walking seemed very difficult, and walked straight to Qi Ning’s side.

Zhao Wushang followed behind Qi Ning, and when he saw the beggar coming towards the window, he wanted to go to Qi Ning to protect him, but Qi Ning raised his hand to stop it, watching the beggar come to the window and lean on the edge of the window.

Elder Zhuque frowned slightly, the beggar looked at Qi Ning, but already showed gratitude, and his voice was weak: “Hai… Hou Ye, great kindness and great virtue, no… Forget, I can only… I can only repay in the next life…!” He suddenly turned his head, covered his mouth, coughed violently, as if he was afraid of spitting on Qi Ning, and then he turned his head and smiled bitterly. : “Little…The villain is going to die…!”

Elder Suzaku asked suspiciously, “Do you know Lord Hou?”

The beggar said: “Back to the words of the elders, that time…the time when we were kicked out of the pharmacy, it was…it was Lord Hou who helped us fight the injustice, and then… ..and then helped us pay for the medicine…!”

Elder Zhuque was shocked, and Qi Ning sighed, “How is he now?”

This beggar was the same beggar who brought his companions to Ji Shitang to seek medical treatment that day, but was rejected by the pharmacy. Later, Qi Ning came to help. Qi Ning first saw the epidemic situation, and that was the time.

“He…!” The beggar naturally knew who Qi Ning was asking, and smiled bitterly: “He is already dead…!”
