A Clash of Gods - Chapter 97

[Chapter 97]

The snake catcher raised the steel fork. The big man was not dead yet, and his body was still struggling in the air. The snake catcher had a grim expression, and he let out a low laugh in his throat. It seemed that watching others die is a great pleasure. .

Yang Ning’s back was cold. He thought this was just an ordinary snake catcher, but now it seems that this snake catcher is not a good stubble. He just sprang from the weeds. Although his body is thick, his movements are very agile. , and the speed of the shot is extremely fast, and it can pierce the throat of the big man with one move. This is by no means a skill that ordinary snake catchers can have.

Yang Ning looked at his clothes and saw that the snake catcher had a turban on his head. He suddenly thought of the Prince of Shu who he had met in the capital. The turban around his head was somewhat similar to the servants of the Prince of Shu.

He knew that this was a common costume in the Bashu area, but this place was Jingnan, not Shu, but he didn’t know why this person appeared in this Xiashan.

The big man struggled for a few times, his body gradually became weak, and his limbs finally drooped down. The snake catcher threw the big man’s corpse to the ground with a slight flick, then put the steel fork beside him, and stretched out his hand to take it from his arms. What, in the dimness, Yang Ning couldn’t see clearly. He saw that the snake catcher was pouring powder on the body, and he was puzzled, thinking that the big man was already dead, and what the hell was the snake catcher doing.

The snake catcher poured some powder on the corpse, then put the things in his arms, went over again, and cut the remaining snake into pieces and threw them into the leather bag.

However, Yang Ning smelled a stench coming from his nostrils. He was surprised when he found that a burst of white smoke suddenly appeared from the corpse. The smoke was quite light, but Yang Ning could still see it clearly.

The snake catcher is obviously often catching snakes. He cuts the snake very skillfully. He cuts off the whole big snake in a moment. Then he gets up, holding the steel fork in one hand and the leather bag in the other, turning around without even looking at the corpse. leave.

Yang Ning made sure that the snake catcher was far away, so he approached the past. He only glanced at it and almost vomited. He saw that the big man’s corpse was only a small half at the moment, the flesh was festering, and the bones were thick. Only a pool of blood was left on the ground, and the remaining half of the body was still rapidly decaying and festering, and the stench was emanating from the body.

Yang Ning covered his nose and his back was chilled. Although this big man was not a good bird, the snake catcher killed him easily and melted his corpse. He was cruel and ruthless. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, Who would have thought that a person would completely disappear from the world in such a short period of time.

Suddenly, a low-pitched bird chirping sounded from the sky, Yang Ning raised his head, and in the night, a big bird like a goshawk flew over his head, but the sound was like a wild beast. “ring.

Yang Ning knew that there were still vicious snake catchers in this mountain, and he was even more careful. He thought that the snake catcher was in an ambush just now, and then suddenly attacked indiscriminately. Surprise attack.

He saw the direction that the snake catcher had left just now. Although he was very puzzled about the origin of that person, he was already being chased by others, so there was no need to make trouble with the past and touch him in another direction.

The Qi family’s old house was controlled by a group of people, and for several years, the Hou Mansion far away in the capital knew nothing about it, which was naturally a shocking thing to hear.

What surprised Yang Ning even more was that after these people used Qi Cheng to control the old house, they still sent taxes to Beijing for three years. It was precisely because of this that there was never any suspicion on the Houfu side, but these people were like this. What is the purpose? They have been here for three years. If there is any conspiracy, it is no small matter.

The leader of this group seemed to be Zhao Yuan, the accountant known as the “Judge”, but Yang Ning felt that he was afraid that there would be someone else who would control the situation.

Jinyi Hou is a family of meritorious service in the empire, with a distinguished status. Even those high-ranking officials in the court may not dare to take action against Jinyi Hou easily. Zhao Yuan’s group dared to control the old house, and even set traps to frame Jinyi Prince, of course not What ordinary people dare to do.

The warehouse set up a trap and used Yanyu Haitang to force Gu Qinghan and himself to do things. This method is despicable, but this is by no means the beginning.

Zhao Yuan also made it clear that to control himself with this matter, of course there will be bigger conspiracies later.

If he can get out, of course, he will eliminate these people, but Yang Ning also knows that these people have been operating here for several years, and they will definitely have power. Harm, so before we start, we must mobilize manpower. The best way is to mobilize troops and horses from the Jiangling prefect first and then surround and kill.

As the prince of Jinyi, it should not be difficult to mobilize troops and horses at Jiangling Prefecture.

Just as he was thinking about where to go after getting out, he heard a strong wind from his side, and a sharp blade had already slashed at him from the side.

Yang Ning’s reaction was very fast, he didn’t dodge, instead he bent down slightly, leaned in the direction of the strong wind, and bumped into someone. He was extremely fast, and the person obviously didn’t expect Yang Ning to come. When this came out, Yang Ning used all his strength for the collision, and the man screamed “Ouch”, but this man was strong and Yang Ning’s body was thin. Under the collision, although the man took two steps back, he did not fall down. .

Of course, Yang Ning would not give him a second chance to use the knife. At this time, the kindness to the enemy is a crime against himself. With his arms outstretched, the cold blade has already disappeared into the opponent’s heart.

He knew the vital points of the human body like the palm of his hand. Although he was in a hurry, he could easily judge the vital point of the other party. The man’s body swayed and fell to the ground. Yang Ning saw the man’s clothes and knew that it was Zhao Yuan’s group.

Suddenly I heard a sneer, “Shizi is really good, but you have nowhere to go.” It was Zhao Yuan’s voice, Yang Ning looked up, only a few steps in front of him, a figure was standing there, in his hand He was holding something and looked closely, but it was an arrow crossbow, facing him.

“The prince was born in a martial arts, so of course he knows what this is.” Zhao Yuan smiled, “As long as you lightly buckle, the prince’s life will be reimbursed here.”

Yang Ning’s eyes were cold, and when he heard a voice behind him, he looked back and saw two people on the left and the right holding big swords, looking at him coldly.

“You are Qi Ning?” One of them was startled when they saw Yang Ning’s face, and then grinned: “So you are the prince of Jinyi, I didn’t expect us to meet so soon. You were so arrogant in Luwang Village earlier, even Director Luo You stabbed him and broke his hamstring, so he couldn’t get up again, but I didn’t expect it to fall into our hands, right?”

Yang Ning heard the words and knew that this person must be one of the followers who followed Director Luo to Luwang Village.

Zhao Yuan gave an “oh”, looked at Yang Ning up and down a few times, and said with a smile: “So it was you who started the Luwang Village? It’s better to meet you if you are famous. I just thought that the prince of Jinyi was really an extremely incompetent and mediocre talent. Now it seems that , the prince is hidden.” Taking two steps forward, “You are much smarter than I expected… The short knife in your hand should be a sharp blade for breaking walls, right? Time breaks through the wall, and this blade is really good.”

“Zhao Yuan…, oh, no, I should call you a judge.” Yang Ning stared at Zhao Yuan’s eyes, but also prevented the two people behind him from attacking, “You set all kinds of traps, what do you want to do? for what?”

Zhao Yuan pouted at the cold blade in Yang Ning’s hand, and said, “The prince should put down the knife first and then talk about it.”

“The three of you are here, and you still have arrows and crossbows. Are you still afraid of me?” Yang Ning sneered: “Even the old mansion of Jinyi Hou dared to occupy it. I thought you were very courageous.”

Zhao Yuan smiled and said, “You brocade prince is too cunning. I have always been careful in my work and will never cause trouble for myself. I still don’t feel relieved that the knife is in your hands.” The arrow crossbow in his hand slid forward, “Sir Be obedient, or else I will be anxious and if I am not careful, the crossbow arrow will be shot out.”

Yang Ning sneered and threw the cold blade at his feet, and Zhao Yuan sighed: “Prince, you don’t have to work so hard, if you honestly enjoy the joy of fish and water with Gu Qinghan in the barn, maybe you can survive. But now I can’t guarantee it.”

“Oh?” Yang Ning said with a smile: “You don’t have the handle of this prince, you can’t blackmail this prince, so you want to kill this prince here?”

Zhao Yuan said: “The prince seems very shrewd, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com guessed the problem at once.”

“I’m just curious, since you all have a scent, why bother to deceive this world into the Hongshahe granary?” Yang Ning asked: “You control the old house and set traps in the old house, isn’t it convenient?”

Zhao Yuan smiled and said: “I said, I have to be foolproof when doing things. It’s not impossible for you and Gu Qinghan to lie on the same bed in the old house, but then you can’t find an excuse for many people to see. If you are together, if no outsider sees it, it will be difficult to achieve results. Besides, the few people you brought under your hands are not good people. In this matter, let people not see the flaws. ”

“It really is a painstaking design.” Yang Ning said: “Those people in the old house know that I am going out to find the third lady, how do you seal everyone’s mouths?”

“The prince looks down on us too much. They haven’t seen any flaws in the past few years, but they are more afraid of Qi Cheng. To be honest, Qi Cheng’s words in the old house are more useful than your prince.” Zhao Yuan was angry. Calmly said: “Actually, there is no need for us to talk about the previous things. Now the prince should think about how to save his life.”

Yang Ning laughed and said, “The arrow is in your hands. I am bare-handed now. If I want to survive, of course I can only follow your request.”

“The person who knows the current affairs is a handsome man.” Zhao Yuan also smiled, “The prince has such a consciousness, it seems that we can have a good discussion.” He suddenly raised an arm and threw something at Yang Ning, Yang Ning reached out his hand. When he took it, it was a small porcelain bottle, and Zhao Yuan had already said, “There are two pills in it, as long as the prince swallows it, he can survive.”
