Chapter - 216 Deep Hatred For Father's Killer (10)

Zhou Botong was getting more and more happy as he listened, he asked, "How are you going to make him suffer?"

Yang Guo said, "I'll catch him, tie him up and them let him lie in a cesspit for half a day."

Zhou Botong was delighted and quietly said, "Once you've caught him, don't throw him in the cesspit straight away, first let me know and allow me to take a peek from aside."

He had no ill intent towards Hao Datong, it was just that he loved evil shows; when others are causing trouble and being mischievous; of course he had to join in.

Yang Guo laughed, "Fine, I'll remember to tell you. But why peek? You're afraid of the Quanzhen goats?"

Zhou Botong sighed and said, "I'm Hao Datong's Martial Uncle! If he sees me, he'll naturally call to me for help. It'll be a bit embarrassing if I don't save him but if I do, I won't be able to watch a good show."

Yang Guo thought to himself, "This person's martial arts are excellent and his character is pretty interesting but he's still from Quanzhen and he is the sworn brother of Guo Jing. A man must be ruthless; I need to think of a way to get rid of him."

How would Zhou Botong know that Yang Guo was starting to have ill thoughts about him? He asked, "When are you going to catch Hao Datong?"

Yang Guo said, "I'm about to go. If you want to take in the atmosphere then come along."

Zhou Botong was delighted, he clapped his hands and stood up but suddenly he became depressed and said, "I can't, I need to go to Xiangyang."

Yang Guo said, "What's so much fun in Xiangyang? Just don't go."

Zhou Botong said, "Brother Guo left a letter for me at the Lu Manor; it said that the Mongolian army is invading south and will definitely attack Xiangyang. He's leading the heroes of the central plains to Xiangyang to help, he told me to give a hand as well. I haven't seen him on my travels so I better go to Xiangyang."

Khubilai and Jinlun Fawang looked at each other and both thought, "So the warriors of the central plains have rushed to Xiangyang to protect the city."

Just at this point, the tent opened and in came a monk. He was about forty years old and looked elegant; his expression looked like that of a scholar. He went to Khubilai and the two exchanged whispers. The monk was a Han, his given name Zicong, and was a counsel of Khubilai's. His original name was Liu Kang and he was an official in Xianya and became a monk later on. He was very knowledgeable and did things very thoroughly; Khubilai had a great deal of trust in him. He had received some news from a guard that an important person has arrived in the camp and needs to be received immediately.

Zhou Botong stroked his stomach and said, "Hey monk, move over a little, I'm talking to that little brother. Hey, little brother, what's your name?"

Yang Guo said, "My surname is Yang, first name Guo."

Zhou Botong said, "Who's your Master?"

Yang Guo said, "My Master is a girl, her beauty is unparalleled and her martial arts are excellent, she doesn't allow others to mention her name."

Zhou Botong shivered and remembered his old lover Yinggu; he didn't dare to ask anymore and stood up. He waved his sleeves around to get rid of the dust on his clothes; the tent was filled with dust and dirt as a result.

Zicong could hold on no longer and sneezed twice. Zhou Botong was joyous and waved out with even more strength; suddenly he laughed out loud and said, "I'm going now!" His left hand waved out and the four broken spearheads shot towards Xiaoxiang Zi, Nimoxing, Yin Kexi and Ma Guangzuo. As the spearheads flew through the air, 'wu' 'wu' sounds were made; they were moving extremely quickly and the targets were close; in a flash the spearheads were right before the very eyes of the four.

Xiaoxiang Zi and the others were shocked; they could not dodge out of the way in time and could only circulate their internal energy to catch them. However, when they stretched out their hands to catch them, they caught thin air; a 'pu' sound was heard as the four spearheads flew into the floor.

The spearheads were shot out extremely ingeniously, immediate dispatch and withdrawal, as soon as the spearheads were in front of their eyes, and they suddenly twisted around and shot into the floor.

Ma Guangzuo was a simple minded person and just felt that this was amusing, he laughed out loud and said, "You really have got lots of tricks old man."

But Xiaoxiang Zi and the other two were extremely startled, their faces had changed colour. They all thought about how they missed the spearheads; if the spearhead hadn't changed direction, they would have shot into their stomachs. With the amount of force behind the spearheads, what chance would they have of surviving?"

Zhou Botong was extremely proud of himself for making the four of them looking like a fools, he turned around and was about to leave.

Zicong said, "Mr. Zhou, your amazing abilities are rarely seen in this world; I give you a toast on behalf of his highness," He handed a cup of wine to him. Zhou Botong drank it in one go. Zicong sent another cup to him and said, "This one is from me!" Again, Zhou Botong drank it down.

Zicong was about to give another cup to him when suddenly Zhou Botong called out, "Oh no, my stomach hurts, I need to crap." Zhou Botong squatted down and undid his pants, and was about to crap in the tent.

Fawang and the others were amused and all called out for him to stop.

Zhou Botong was startled, he called out, "Something's wrong with this stomach ache; I don't need to crap!"

Yang Guo glanced over at Zicong and understood, there was poison in the wine. At the beginning he had some ill intent towards Zhou Botong, wanting to prevent Guo Jing from having a strong ally; but the ill intent he had disappeared immediately. He had no debts and dues with the Old Urchin; he saw that he was childlike and uncomplicated and felt good sentiments towards him. He couldn't endure it when he saw him fall for the dirty trick. He was about to suggest to him to hold Khubilai as a hostage and force Zicong to hand over the antidote when he suddenly heard Zhou Botong call out, "Strange, strange, so its because I drank too little poisonous wine, that's why my stomach ached. Monk, quickly pour me another three cups, the more poisonous the better!"

Everyone looked at each other startled. Zicong was afraid that he would lash out before he died, he didn't dare to go over to him.

Zhou Botong took a large step forward towards the table. Jinlun Fawang stepped in front of Khubilai to protect him; but all he saw was Zhou Botong pulling up his pants with his left hand and reaching for the jug of poisoned wine with his right hand. He then tipped his head backwards and poured all the wine down his throat.

Everyone's face lost its color.

But Zhou Botong laughed and said, "That's better. Now my stomach has got too much poison, won't the Old Urchin turn into the Old Poisonous Animal? I need to fight poison with poison." Suddenly he opened his mouth and shot out a stream of wine towards Zicong. Jinlun Fawang saw that it was a dangerous situation and quickly picked up a table to block it; an arrow of wine splashed across the table.
