V2.Chapter 649

Outside the stone house. Cheng Jin and Ai Wei stood outside and looked inside through the window on the door.

"Is he... Telling the truth?" Ai Wei turns to look at Cheng Jin.

Cheng Jin shrugged and said, "who knows." After a pause, he said again, "I've only heard of blood spirit vine, but I've never seen it with my own eyes."

Ai Wei asked puzzledly, "isn't Gao Mucheng general Cheng's subordinate?"

"But that doesn't mean I'll know everything about him." Cheng Jin said expressionless, "at that time, he proposed to buy two thousand liang of gold for xuelingteng seeds. I approved it, but I saw what xuelingteng looked like for the first time."

"Two thousand liang of gold?" Ivy was surprised secretly. The funds of the hidden arrow were really beyond the Lieutenant's house.

In the stone chamber. Gao Mucheng put the green beans into the breach on the back of the shopkeeper's hand. Then, his fingers slowly emitted white fog. The fog did not disperse, but was absorbed by the green beans. The green beans that absorbed the fog seemed to become living creatures, and went directly into his meat along the breach on the back of the shopkeeper's hand.

Gao Mucheng's fingers pressed on the wound, and the fog still kept emanating from his fingertips for a short time. Looking at the back of the shopkeeper's hand, there were winding black lines on his skin, and the black lines were spreading rapidly and slowly protruding from under the skin. Looking at the cold sweat, it seemed that all the blood vessels on his palm protruded.

At this time, the shopkeeper couldn't help but scream. The body bound to the chair trembled violently, with distorted facial features, wide eyes, and blood red eyes due to congestion.

Gao Mucheng looked at him without blinking and said softly, "the blood spirit vine will grow rapidly when it meets the aura, and the aura of wood attribute will make it grow faster. Shopkeeper, can you feel the taste of its roots spreading in your body now?"

"Ah -" the shopkeeper's scream didn't seem to be made by human beings. He was sweating like rain. His clothes seemed to have been beaten by rain, and blood oozed from his clenched teeth. He shouted at Gao Mucheng with a changed voice: "beast! Kill me, kill me..."

Gao Mucheng didn't seem to hear it and continued to emit aura. After a moment, he shouted excitedly, "sprouted, see, it sprouted! Ha ha -"

At this time, looking at the back of the shopkeeper's hand, two thin and small tender leaves were born under the wound. The two tender leaves grew very fast. At the same time, the vines grew along the wound like a spirit snake and climbed up his arms and neck

Gao Mucheng's eyes sparkled with excitement. He stood up and grabbed the clothes on the shopkeeper's chest with both hands. As soon as he tore them, he heard the sound of sand. The shopkeeper's coat was torn in half by him.

Looking at his body again, its shape is not frightening. The rhizome of xuelingteng has spread to his chest along his arm, and intricate black lines have been raised under his skin. The skin and flesh in many places have been opened, and new buds have grown in various breaks.

In this situation, the shopkeeper has become neither human nor ghost. Even the murderous secret arrows are very angry. Even two people can't help but rush out of the stone chamber and vomit outside.

"They... They all live in a family surnamed CAI in kuiying Street... Kill me... Kill me as soon as possible..." the shopkeeper's completely collapsed, and the roots of blood spirit vine spread in his body, and the pain has far exceeded the tolerance of mankind.

He can clearly feel that his skin and flesh, flesh and bone are being peeled away by those fast-growing roots, which are drilling and gnawing in his flesh and bones, spreading into his blood vessels and greedily sucking blood.

He can no longer bear it. Now he only wants to die, even if he is tortured by torture.

"Kuiying street? It's disappointing to tell you so soon." Gao Mucheng shook his head slowly, stood up and said to the hidden arrows around him, "if he drinks, give him something to drink. If he is hungry, give him something to eat and take good care of him."

"You... You don't kill me..."

"Kill you?" As if hearing the funniest joke in the world, Gao Mucheng laughed up and said, "I have to use you to cultivate this hard won blood spirit vine. How can I be willing to kill you? In fact, you can think so. If you can bear thousands of gold worth of blood spirit vine fruit, it is also a matter of great pride!"

"Ah -" the corner of the shopkeeper's eye opened, and the blood slowly flowed down. He cried like ghosts and wolves again.

"It's rare that the aura in your body is so deep that the blood spirit vine grows so smoothly. You are the first 'vine man' I trained, ha ha -" Gao Mucheng patted the shopkeeper on the cheek, laughed and turned out of the stone room.

"Kill me! Beast... Kill me..."

Gao Mucheng didn't pay any more attention to him. He went out of the stone room and saw Cheng Jin. He came forward to salute and said, "general, the criminal has explained that the assassin is hiding in the Cai family on kuiying street!"

"Yes!" Cheng Jin nodded.

"General, let your subordinates take people to catch those assassins!" Gao Mucheng volunteered.

"Are you sure?"

"Don't worry, general. My subordinates will not let anyone go!" Gao Mucheng said firmly.

"OK, you go!" Cheng Jin waved his hand slightly.

"Farewell, my subordinates!" With Cheng Jin's approval, Gao Mucheng hurried away.

Looking at the figure of Gao Mucheng leaving, Ivy couldn't help fighting a cold war. He said softly, "general Cheng, the lower officer thinks that this man is vicious and shocking. It's really... It's really damaging the reputation of the imperial court."

Cheng Jin glanced at him and said without expression, "he is the man of my secret arrow."

"But the hidden arrow is also a part of the imperial court!" Said ivy, frowning.

"Lord AI has seen enough today. It must be a worthwhile trip. I'll take you out!" Cheng Jin didn't answer Ivy's question. In fact, he didn't know how to answer it.

When Cheng Jingang met Gao Mucheng, the latter's character was not as vicious and abnormal as it is now. Only in the dark arrow, if he, a non dark spiritual cultivator, wanted to be eliminated and stand out, he had to be more ruthless and unique than the people around him. Gradually, his mind changed greatly. In order to achieve his goal, he did everything by any means.

Cheng Jin appreciates Gao Mucheng's ability, but he doesn't like his current transformation. When he stands in front of him, sometimes even Cheng Jin feels cold in his heart.

This time, Gao Mucheng still didn't disappoint Cheng Jin. None of the four assassins escaped and were all captured by the elite secret arrow personnel led by him.

Before starting the operation, he also specifically ordered to go on, preferring a certain number of casualties on his side to stay alive.

The next day, Cheng Jin and Ai Wei came to the palace to meet Tang Yin.

Only a few days later, the two of them solved the case and captured the elusive hall assassin who had escaped earlier. Tang Yin was also quite surprised.

Tang Yin sighed when they finished telling the story. Unexpectedly, the man who hired the assassin was Wanfu. He asked, "where is Wanfu now?"

Ai Wei didn't dare to speak. Cheng Jin arched his hand and said, "tell the king that the thief has been killed by his subordinates with poisonous wine."

Tang Yin frowned secretly and killed him like this. It's too cheap for him. However, since people are dead, that's the only way. He asked, "are you sure it's not Wanfu's instigation?"

"My subordinates and Lord AI have carefully checked it. Villa leader Wan really doesn't know about it. Wanfu did everything behind his back."

"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded and said, "since this is the case, there is no need to make things bigger. This matter is over and can't be spread out."

"Yes! King!" Cheng Jin and ivy bowed their hands.

Tang Yin looked at Ivy with a smile and said, "Ivy, you've done a good job in this case. In the future, take the post of deputy Lieutenant! What's your title now?"

"Tell the king that I don't have a title yet."

"Then be promoted to Viscount!"

He spoke too casually. Ai Wei didn't react for a moment. Cheng Jin touched him with his elbow and whispered, "thank you, Lord AI!"

Ivy suddenly returned to his senses, quickly knelt down, kowtowed and said in a trembling voice, "thank you, King longen!"

Tang Yin smiled, waved his hand and said, "get up! Your cousin Gu Chen took care of the Lieutenant's house in good order when he was a deputy lieutenant. I hope you won't disappoint me in the future. The Lieutenant's house is in charge of the security of the capital and has a great responsibility. It's up to you in the future."

"Don't worry, your majesty. Even if you are upset, you will never let your majesty down!" Ivy said positively.

"Very good!" Tang Yin turned to look at Cheng Jin again and said with a smile, "Cheng Jin, you did a good job this time."

"Thank you for your praise."

"And that gaomucheng, which is also very interesting. It is worthy of the talent you recommended to me. By the way, did he come with you? I want to meet him." Tang Yin asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, Mu Cheng should still be in the dark house now."

"Well, when you go back, let him come to the palace and say that the king wants to see him."

"Yes! King!"

Cheng Jin and Ai Wei both kowtow to Tang Yin and leave the palace.

When Cheng Jin returned to the dark house and told King Gao Mucheng that he wanted to see him, the latter was overjoyed. This was the first time the king specially summoned him. The opportunity was rare. He specially changed into a brand-new dark arrow official uniform. Unable to suppress his excitement, he rushed to the palace.

In the garden of the Royal Palace, when Gao Mucheng saw Tang Yin, he hurried forward, knelt on one knee, stepped in to salute, and said respectfully, "subordinate Gao Mucheng, see the king!"

Tang Yin pulled him up with a smile and said, "listen to Cheng Jin, you did a good job in the hidden arrow."

"Thanks to the cultivation of the king and the general..."

Tang Yin waved his hand and said, "Cheng Jin always has a clear distinction between public and private. If he can reuse you, it shows that you have this strength."

After a pause, he said with a smile, "as a spiritual cultivator of the Department of light, it's not easy to stand out in the dark arrow. You have made great contributions to successfully capturing the assassin of the ethereal hall this time. Tell me, what reward do you want?"
