A Clash of Gods - Chapter 98
[Chapter 98]
Yang Ning knew that the pills inside must be poison, smiled lightly, and asked, “It seems that I have no choice. But there are still some things I don’t understand. I wonder if you can enlighten me?”
“What do you want to ask the prince?” Zhao Yuan knew that everything was under control, and he was not in a hurry.
Yang Ning asked, “Shiyi charges 40% of the tax. This is of course not fake. The ledgers seen by the third lady are naturally forged.”
Zhao Yuan said: “Yes, it doesn’t take much effort to make fake accounts.” He smiled slightly, “Those accounts are for your arrival. I know that Gu Qinghan will definitely check the accounts, and he has made preparations in advance.”
“To welcome us?” Yang Ning’s heart sank, “Did you already know that we would come?”
Zhao Yuan smiled and said: “Why don’t you think about it, the prince has not interrupted sending tax money to you for several years, why did you choose only at this time? When you return to Jiangling, this is our plan, the forged ledger, Naturally, it’s already ready.”
Yang Ning frowned: “You are so confident that we will come back?”
Zhao Yuan said leisurely: “There is no doubt that the Jinyi Hou’s mansion is short of money, the tax money has been delayed and cannot be delivered, and the dispatched people have not been able to report back. After all, you all want to come here.”
Yang Ning felt a chill in his heart, thinking that the tax and silver from the Hou Mansion had not yet arrived, and sent people from the mansion to inquire about the news, but the people who sent them never went back to report. The people who came are all caught by you…?”
“Your Highness is asking for a reason.” Zhao Yuan smiled and said, “They died in the middle of the road before they got to the old house. Of course, they can’t go back and report back.”
“What do you mean, you have eyes and ears in the Hou Mansion, and you know their whereabouts?” Yang Ning asked, “Have you all designed it from the beginning?”
Zhao Yuan smiled and said, “The prince takes the pill, and many things will be clear.”
Yang Ning held the bottle and asked, “I want to know, what exactly do you want me to do with you? You are planning to let this prince be under your control. I should always know what I need to do?”
“Actually, the prince doesn’t need to do anything.” Zhao Yuan said: “Originally, if you and Gu Qinghan violated human relations, with this scandal, I’m afraid you won’t have the face to inherit the title of Jinyi Marquis…!”
Yang Ning suddenly understood something, and said sternly, “Is it Qi Yu? Are you Qi Yu’s people?” He suddenly thought that Qi Yu, who was born out of a concubine, was eyeing the title of Marquis of Jinyi. With the capture in hand, this Zhao Yuan seems to be coercing himself to give up the title of Marquis of Jinyi. Once he is unable to inherit the position of Marquis, only Qi Yu will be next. Could it be that these people are Qi Yu’s people?
Zhao Yuan let out an “oh” and said disdainfully, “Is the Qi Yu you mentioned the same son of the Jinyi Hou Mansion? You look down on him too much, we are not his people, but he is something we can control. chess piece.”
Yang Ning was surprised, thinking that these people were actually involved with Qi Yu, but Zhao Yuan’s tone obviously did not take Qi Yu seriously. Yang Ning also believed in Qi Yu’s ability, but he didn’t have the ability to set such a thing. In the trap, Zhao Yuan said that Qi Yu was just a pawn in their hands, and it should be true.
This group of people occupied the old house, wanted to create an incestuous incident to hold the prince hostage, intended to make Qi Yu come to power, and used Qi Yu as a chess piece. All this was done step by step, and they were not in a hurry to achieve success. It is really hard to imagine that this group of people will eventually What is the purpose for.
Yang Ning knew that if he swallowed the pill, his life and death would be in the hands of the opponent, his legs were tense, but he was thinking about the free walking method.
Luwangcun had already made a move, and the martial arts of the two big men behind him were mediocre and easy to deal with, but the most important thing was that Zhao Yuan had an arrow crossbow in his hand.
He also has some understanding of this kind of weapon. He knows that the speed of fire is extremely fast. At this time, the two are only a few steps away. Once the other party pulls the mechanism and the crossbow arrow is fired, it is really difficult for him to dodge, but once he can dodge the other party’s crossbow arrow, There is not necessarily no opportunity to change from passive to active.
The free walking method is mysterious and unpredictable, but there are old withered vines on this side, and it is not easy to apply it.
He was thinking about whether to make a gamble when he heard Zhao Yuan say: “Sir, it’s still a long time, you take the pill first, and then what you want to know, I will tell you without you asking.”
Yang Ning opened the cork, and a stench came out of his face. Just smelling the smell, he knew that the pills inside were not good things.
Zhao Yuan held the arrow crossbow and aimed it at Yang Ning, and seemed to be wary of what tricks Yang Ning would play.
At this moment, something suddenly flew down from the air and wrapped around Zhao Yuan’s wrist in an instant. Zhao Yuan only felt that the thing was cold and slippery. As soon as it was wrapped around his wrist, it began to wriggle. Zhao Yuan was shocked and his arm turned back. Shrinking, I saw that the snake wrapped around the wrist turned out to be a red-colored snake, extremely terrifying.
Zhao Yuan’s face changed color, he let go of his hand, shaking vigorously, trying to shake the injured snake down, but he knew that the snake was wrapped so tightly that it seemed to be integrated with the arm, and it couldn’t shake off no matter what.
Seeing this situation, Yang Ning secretly called God to help me, and took the opportunity to roll to the ground, already grabbing the cold blade.
Zhao Yuan’s reaction was quite astute. His arm was wrapped around and he couldn’t touch the arrow crossbow. Seeing that Yang Ning had already rolled toward him, he immediately pushed back, approached a big tree, and smashed the snake-wrapped arm violently. When he was on the big tree, this move was really effective. He smashed it hard, and suddenly the middle section of the snake was smashed, and the snake’s body came loose.
The two big men had come back to their senses at this moment, and they both roared and slashed towards Yang Ning with their knives.
After only two steps, one person has already exclaimed: “Snake…Snake…!” He didn’t dare to move forward, but only saw more than ten snakes falling from the air, like rain. generally.
Yang Ning wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to stop Zhao Yuan, but he also felt that a snake was thrown at him in the air. He couldn’t care about Zhao Yuan for a while, he waved the cold blade in his hand, and instantly cut the two fallen snakes into two pieces.
The strangeness of these snakes, Yang Ning no longer approached Zhao Yuan, but quickly dodged to the side.
Zhao Yuan smashed a snake to death, who knew that more than a dozen snakes fell from the air, and three or four snakes fell on him, all of them quickly entangled, some wrapped around his arms, and some were already wrapped around him. on his neck.
The two big men were already horrified and did not dare to go forward. Suddenly they saw someone jumping up like an electric shock, dropping the big knife in their hands, reaching out to touch their collars, and touching their vests, their feet jumping around. , shouted in surprise: “No, there is a snake on me, help me catch it out.”
How dare his companions dare to help him, but instead he stepped back, suddenly screamed, turned and ran, only two steps away, but saw a burly figure blocking him, and then saw a man holding a three-strand fork, walking towards him come over.
The man was a little surprised, but he didn’t stop. He raised the knife in his hand and slashed towards the man, but the man raised the three-pronged fork in his hand and stabbed the big man at a very fast speed. The big man was about to cut the three-pronged fork, but he saw the three-pronged fork swirl around his wrist, and then picked it up and plunged into his wrist.
The other party held the three-pronged fork and swayed it easily, used the three-pronged fork to pull the big man to the edge of a big tree, and then lifted it up, letting the big man’s arm lift over the top, and then slammed into the tree trunk, pulling the big man’s arm. One arm was nailed to the tree, and the big man screamed and screamed, and the sound spread to the wild.
Yang Ning knew that things were weird, so he wanted to dodge to the side. He only ran a few steps, and a figure appeared in front of him. It was thick and burly. Yang Ning only glanced at it and recognized that the man’s costume was exactly the same as the snake catcher he had seen before. , he knew that this person was ruthless and merciless. When he saw the other party stabbed with three forks, he didn’t dodge. The cold blade in his hand slid across, only to hear the sound of “ding, ding, ding”. All cut off.
The snake catcher was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a beast-like “roar” sounded in his mouth, waving the three-strand fork without the prongs, UU reading www.sonicmtl.
com called according to Yang Ning.
The opponent’s strength was great, the three forks smashed down, and the wind was sharp. Yang Ning looked at the opponent’s height, and he could only reach his chest at most. , a snake had fallen from the air on his arm, Yang Ning reacted very quickly, the snake was not slow, just like he had been trained, it quickly wrapped around Yang Ning’s arm, Yang Ning did not hesitate, the cold blade slid across , the light of the knife flashed, and the head of the snake on the arm had been cut off.
He thought that the snake catcher would take the opportunity to rush forward, but he knew that the snake catcher took a few steps back. Yang Ning was surprised when he heard the sound of “humming” from behind, and he felt a chill. Turning around, I saw a group of flying insects flying around, listening to the sound, it was obviously a bee.
It’s easy to cut off a snake, but it’s hard to drive bees away. There were already more than a dozen poisonous bees rushing towards him. Yang Ning wanted to cut off his clothes and cover his head. He felt a pain in his neck and was stung by a poisonous bee.
At this moment, Zhao Yuan had seven or eight snakes wrapped around his body. Zhao Yuan struggled hard, but to no avail. Another big man was already rolling on the ground, and there were three or four poisonous snakes wrapped around him.
Suddenly, a clear sound was heard, just like the sound of playing bamboo strips. The poisonous bees that were flying around suddenly all flew into the air. Yang Ning looked in the direction where the poisonous bees flew, and saw a big tree sticking out. On the branch of the tree, there is obviously a person sitting on it, with his legs swaying, holding a bamboo tube in his hand, and those poisonous bees are drilling into the bamboo tube.
Yang Ning took a closer look and saw that the person sitting on the branch was a girl of sixteen or seventeen. Although it was night, her legs were dazzlingly white, and most of her arms were exposed. Sai Xue heard that the girl had already said crisply: “A few rubbish are really useless, so that this girl can’t even watch a good show, damn it!” The voice of Shudi was full of voices.
