Chapter 279

In order to know more about Wushen town and know ourselves and the enemy, Yunfeng "tossed" Mao farewell party.

Mao farewell party is a stubborn person with extremely professional ethics. Some things have definitely achieved the state of "not saying it even if you kill it". It also makes Yunfeng angry and helpless!

However, some basic information is still available. For example, the internal guard of Wushen town is in the charge of the left and right big poison men in turn, while the external force is controlled by a separate department called "herbal hall". It is the strength and seriousness of these people that provide Wushen town with an absolute guarantee against external interference for many years.

In addition to protecting Wushen Town, the herbal hall never participates in other affairs, whether it is internal struggle or killing each other. In short, as long as it is a family dispute between the Li family, they will not intervene. Except for the leader, they will not listen to the instructions of any elder alone.

The herbal hall has existed in the initial stage of Wushen town. The peripheral defense is divided into five areas. There are five persons in charge. They don't have their real names or Jianghu nicknames. They are all named after herbs. According to the introduction of Mao farewell party, the five deacons of the herbal hall are Angelica dahurica, licorice, Liuqu, aloes and cassia seed!

Mao's farewell party also revealed one thing. At the beginning, he was able to successfully take advantage of the opportunity to escape, but he still got the help of someone in the herbal hall.

Yunfeng felt that it was necessary to go to this herbal hall. If Wushen town really had to go through a storm, he didn't believe that the herbal hall without the suppression of the leader Li Lingqu could really stay away and be alone! After all, the strength of the herbal hall is there. They are absolutely capable of leading the final victory.

Unless those people have really reached the realm of "gentleman", but how many gentlemen are there in this world?

The courtyard of the herbal hall is located outside the ring of mountains. It is a large, lonely courtyard, which is also ordinary in appearance. There is nothing special except that the plaque of the herbal hall hanging on the door is a little larger.

When he came down from Wuxia mountain, he chased out three big doctors all the way and had Dragonfly contact with several experts of herbal hall. Although he didn't care what he said, he kept very cautious in his heart. It's not that the other party has the martial arts skills that convinced Yunfeng, but that these people have more means to kill the enemy. Unless you can avoid all poisons, you'll throw a rat repellent!

None of the old guys in the herbal Hall who should have gone to bed early tonight! Stay in the yard together, but it is definitely not to enjoy the moon, but four to one, staring at the unexpected guest who suddenly arrived.

"Why isn't licorice here?"

"Where has he gone? It seems that he doesn't need the elder Wu to ask?" a thin old man was very dissatisfied with Wu Chuqiao's question.

"Ha ha, just ask, why so nervous!" Wu Chuqiao smiled at Liuqu's unkindness.

"We know what you think, but to be honest, we won't intervene in your affairs, and we're not interested in wading in the muddy water. I'm afraid Mr. Wu's trip was in vain!" Liuqu said without salt.

"Today, I came to the door in person to talk about the conditions with you frankly! If you continue to talk with this attitude, it will not be good for everyone in the future!"

Aloes with Balding Hair and serious. When I heard this, I burst into sneers.

"Why? Is the witch chief always threatening us old guys? When we are scared?"

"Seriously, I'm not threatening you. I just want to remind you that each of you has received the favor of the leader. You're not too old to remember this?"

"That's the kindness of the headmaster. If the headmaster comes here today, we only need one word. We'll definitely go through fire and water, but you're Wu Chuqiao, not Li Lingqu!" said the hunchbacked Cassia.

"What if someone violates the leader's arrangement or wants to overthrow the leader's position? What should you do?"

"Evidence!" Angelica dahurica, with two striking white eyebrows, said two words faintly.

"Of course I will get the evidence, but before that, I need the herbal hall to help me maintain the stability of Wushen town!"

"Hehe, that means there is no evidence yet? However, we have heard some rumors that the leader's whereabouts are unknown. It seems that you are more suspicious about Wu Chuqiao!" Liuqu sneered.

Wu Chuqiao frowned and obviously didn't want to answer this question.

"Angelica dahurica, can you let them say less first?"

Angelica dahurica was noncommittal, but said, "the witch is old. According to the old rules of Wushen Town, we are only responsible for foreign affairs, and we don't interfere in internal affairs. Please go back!"

"Don't interfere? Who let go of Mao's farewell party?"

"Wu Changlao, what do you mean?" the hunchbacked cassia seed stepped forward and asked coldly!

"Old five!" Angelica dahurica whispered.

Cassia seed snorted and retreated again!

"Cassia seed, you can thank the people who saved you at the Mao farewell party and repay them. But letting go of the Mao farewell party is a violation of the rules that the herbal hall should abide by. These are indisputable facts! Angelica dahurica, as the principal of the herbal hall, you can't shirk the responsibility without knowing?"

Angelica dahurica looked at cassia seed and remained silent.

"What do you mean by not talking? Don't admit it? Isn't Angelica dahurica the most important rule? Why? If the rule is broken, don't you dare to admit it?"

"I did it to release Mao's farewell party. I deliberately made people delay the time of arrest. It's also my instigator. It has nothing to do with others! Just come to me if you want..."

Angelica dahurica waved and stopped Cassia from going on.

"What do you want?"

"I want to guard the property of Wushen town for the leader and make peace in Wushen town! Since you broke the rules once, you might as well make an exception again!"

Angelica dahurica looked at Wu chubuckwheat, thought about it and said, "I think since it's a mistake, it shouldn't be wrong again!"

"Ha ha! Angelica dahurica, you really make me speechless!"

"If you have nothing to say, there is no need to say it again!"

Wu Chuqiao naturally didn't mean to leave, but smiled.

"By the way, I suddenly remembered something. I wonder if your brothers often dream of snakes, insects, mice and ants recently?"

The four people's eyes lit up at the same time. After looking at each other, they were all angry!

"What the hell did you do?" aloes killed me!

"Ask clearly! It's just a little skill. In fact, you can't blame me. You're too stubborn. You can break the rules for a Mao farewell, but you won't bow to me!"

What is Wu Chuqiao good at? Nature is the witchcraft that everyone talks about!

Aloes was about to jump up, but suddenly fell to the ground with a "ouch", and her whole body convulsed!

The other three people just wanted to do something. Wu Chuqiao smiled.

"Don't worry, he's fine. If you go to help, you'll hurt him!"

Sure enough, after a while, the body of aloes calmed down, but it was still moaning. It was obvious that it had experienced a lot of pain!

"This is just a small means. Be obedient and everyone will be safe. Otherwise, it will only make your life worse than death!"

Angelica dahurica's face did not hide her anger. She looked at the aloes lying on the ground and glared at Wu chubuckwheat.

"What do you want?"

"If dongtingxu and others do something, you should listen to my orders and come forward to suppress!"

"Why don't you use this evil means to directly control them? Why bother us?" licorice said angrily.

Wu Chuqiao's fingers made a crisp sound, and licorice also screamed and fell to the ground immediately, convulsing more than once!

"Hehe, what I want to do has nothing to do with you!"

……

Zuo Qi stood in front of a portrait with his hands behind his back. He didn't move until he heard the sound of opening the door behind him.

An old woman came in.

"You haven't slept yet?" Zuo Qi whispered.

"I can't sleep. Didn't you sleep either?" the old woman answered in a warm voice.

"Alas! I can't sleep either!"

"Why do you always stare at the portrait of the headmaster and see the silver?"

Zuo Qi shook his head and asked softly, "old woman, do you remember what happened five years ago?"

"Five years ago? What happened?"

Zuo Qi led his wife to the table. After both sat down, he continued: "it should be said that it was nearly six years ago. The leader went to Kyoto and came back to say..."

"I remember! The emperor was poisoned, right?"

"Yes!"

"Didn't you find out about it long ago? Why did you suddenly mention it again?"

"Although it was characterized as a disciple stealing from himself at that time, and people were secretly disposed of by the leader, I feel that the matter is not so simple!"

"It's not simple. What's the point of saying this now?"

"Meaning? Really not. I was just thinking that if the leader hadn't concealed the real source of the poison at that time, I'm afraid I'm now..."

"Old man, you can't hide it from me. Are you also suspicious of the leader's disappearance? You promised me not to participate in the affairs between them. There are many unclear things in the witch town. Being wise and protecting yourself is the best way to survive! It doesn't matter if you and I have a lot of years, but you have to think about our son!"

Zuo Qimo nodded silently.

"Don't think about those useless things. Go to bed early. I'll go back to the house first!"

Just as the old woman was about to get up and leave, Zuo Qi suddenly asked, "does witchcraft really exist?"

The old woman's body shook as if she had stopped.

Zuo Qi felt his heart hurt. He took a gentle breath and continued: "I received something today. Do you want to have a look!"

"What?"

Zuo Qi took out a painting scroll from his arms, opened it slowly and put it in front of his wife!

The old woman looked through the light and saw that it was a portrait, a portrait of a young woman! Instead of touching the painting, the old woman trembled and sat back slowly.

"You... Are you really going to hide it from me to death?"

The old woman raised her head and dragged the candle light. She saw that Zuo Qi was in tears!

"Do you really care so much?"

"We've been married for 40 years. Am I so unworthy of your trust? How many things do you hide from me?"

"If I don't believe you, how can I have children for you!"

"Then why hide it from me?"

“……”

"Up to now, won't you tell me the truth?"

"Old man! How many times has the leader saved you?"

"Now I don't want to say this..."

"Answer me!"

The old woman's eyes were red and very serious.

"Twice!"

"If you have saved your life twice, you will spend your whole life following me! What about the five times?"

"Old lady..."

"The leader has saved me five times. How can I repay? Tell me? Can't I keep a secret for the leader?"

Zuo Qi felt guilty and hurriedly reached out to wipe his tearful wife's tears, but she was pushed away by the old woman!

"Do you still want to know the answer?"

Zuo Qi's previous anger turned into embarrassment at the moment.

"Old woman, it's my fault. Don't..."

"You're worried about the leader, and I'm also worried. I'm also more afraid that you will participate! Some things know the truth, but it's a kind of harm, do you understand?"

"But you shouldn't hide it from me! Am I so unworthy of your trust?"

"It's not about whether you believe you or not, but about the reputation of Wushen town and the leader!"

"The reason why I mentioned the past is that someone hinted at me that the person who stole the poison at the beginning may be Wu Chuqiao. Now the leader's whereabouts are unknown, and she is also the most suspected, and this painting proves you... You used to be a witch. If you hide some things from me, you're afraid that Wushen town will be really dangerous, so how can we afford the leader?"

……

Zhang Zhou didn't let anyone go with him, but chose to go alone. Through many experiences, he not only has strong self-confidence in his perception and escape ability! Moreover, he has practiced the magic door skill. Although he can't always show his sharp and domineering in Wuxia mountain, he is completely enlightened. If he meets the stream of stone, Zhang Zhou is fully confident that he can win the war and escape!

After all, Wushen town hasn't been disturbed for many years. It's not in the imperial palace. How can it be highly vigilant every day? It's impossible that there were no omissions. In order to make it convenient for the old man to go out of the valley and do some romantic things, he privately explored an extremely safe secret path. As a result, he was severely tortured by Zhang Zhou and had to "offer" it honestly. It also enabled Zhang Zhou to explore the Wushen town at night and pick up Zhang Xingzhi's wife and children, which gave him more confidence and assurance!

According to the old man, Zhang Xingzhi's home is a small place to live. It's marginal and easy to enter and leave!

As long as the people are picked up, the people inside will fight in the dark and fly straight to the brain. Zhang Zhou won't care.

From the torch lights lit in the town, it can be easily distinguished that in the seven areas divided within Wushen Town, Zhang Xingzhi's family lives in the west district. Because almost all the people in Wushen town live in closed single doors and single houses, and each has a house number, it is not difficult to find a designated family.
