Chapter 1665 Praying Mantis Catches Cicada and Oriole Is Behind!
? Chapter 1665
Hearing this voice, the young boy in Tsing Yi was shocked, and suddenly felt that something was wrong. He had bought here for more than a year, and he was very familiar with the voice of the shopkeeper. The voice in front of him was obviously not the shopkeeper in his impression. .
But at this moment, with a glance at the black palm and skinny fingers, the young boy in Tsing Yi's heart skipped a beat and immediately felt something was wrong.
The shopkeeper makes rice tofu every day, and his palms are soaked in rice milk and rice dregs. Not only does it not look rough, but it looks very white and delicate, at least not the same as the hands in front of him.
"No, you are not shopkeeper Liu, who are you!"
The young boy in Tsing Yi trembled in his heart, and raised his head abruptly, but what responded to him was a deadly palm. Almost at the same time as he was speaking, "Treasurer Liu" made a sudden move, grabbed his neck fiercely with one hand, and lifted him up.
"Stinky boy, he's just a servant, and his reaction is really fast!"
That "Treasurer Liu" raised his head. Although his face was exactly the same as that of the real Shopkeeper Liu, his whole person behaved evilly and his spirit was completely different.
Kacha, before the little boy in Tsing Yi could react, the man pinched with five fingers and immediately broke the boy in Tsing Yi's neck.
All of this last night, the man stretched out his hand to touch the face of the young man in Tsing Yi, and the next moment, before anyone could react, a human skin mask immediately appeared and was put on his face by the man. weird.
Soon, the man put on the clothes of the boy in green clothes again, and when he was dressed properly, he quietly left the shop, passed through many streets and alleys, and returned to Zhangchou Jianqiong's mansion the same way, and no one was disturbed during the whole process. In Zhangchou Jianqiong's house, everything was as usual, and no one noticed that one of the servants had changed.
...
In the back garden of Zhangchou Jianqiong's mansion, there are garden pools lined up in it, together with the verandas with cornices and brackets, it feels peaceful and elegant, full of ancient charm.
According to the rules of the Tang court, all the mansions above the second rank were built uniformly by the court according to certain specifications.
It's just that at this moment, in Zhangchou Jianqiong's back garden, there is an additional row of specially made wooden shelves. On the wooden shelves are placed medicine spoon peonies, chrysanthemums, and pots with lush branches and leaves, full of flowers. vitality.
And at this very moment,
Zhangchou Jianqiong was standing in front of the wooden frame, holding a small medicine hoe in one hand and a water pot in the other, watering and loosening the soil for these potted plants.
Zhangchou Jianqiong's expression was serene, he was sick at home for so many days, and at first he was really uncomfortable, but now, Zhangchou Jianqiong has gradually grown fond of this peaceful life.
Zhangchou Jianqiong carefully loosened the soil one by one, pulled out the weeds growing inside, and sprinkled some water on the surface. Seeing the vibrancy of these potted plants, Zhangchou Jianqiong felt a lot more relaxed.
"It's time to prune the branches and leaves."
Looking at the flourishing flowers and plants, a thought flashed in Zhangchou Jianqiong's heart. The Minister of the Ministry of War, the former General Protector of the Southwest, a gold and iron horse, a soldier and horse all his life, who would have imagined that he could water and fertilize these flowers and plants in such a leisurely and meticulous manner, and repair the branches and leaves.
"Bring the scissors here!"
Zhangchou Jianqiong suddenly spoke.
"Yes, my lord!"
There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and a gardener came over, bent down, held a pair of gold and iron scissors in both hands, and handed them over respectfully.
Zhangchou Jianqiong didn't look back, and subconsciously took the scissors handed over by Yuan Ding, but at the moment of taking it, there was a sudden change, heck, a gust of strong wind suddenly came from his ear, without any warning, then The so-called "gardener" flicked his finger, and two extremely sharp blades appeared at the fingertips. A blue light glowed from the tip of the blade, which was obviously poisonous.
The gardener looked strange, and the moment he handed over the scissors, without the slightest hesitation, the two sharp blades slashed towards Zhangchou Jianqiong's palm. This happened so suddenly that even Zhangchou Jianqiong didn't expect it. In a flash, the next moment, a bloodstain was cut on Zhangchou Jianqiong's palm, and as soon as the gardener succeeded in the move, he immediately backed away like lightning, widening the distance between Zhangchou Jianqiong and Zhangchou Jianqiong.
"Who the hell are you?"
Zhangchou Jianqiong clutched his wrist, staggered back two steps, and instantly changed his face.
This gardener was originally from Zhangchou Jianqiong's residence. He was originally responsible for taking care of the back garden, but now he is responsible for helping Zhangchou Jianqiong when he is arranging flowers and plants. Because he was a member of his family, Zhangchou Jianqiong was not wary at all, and never thought that he would do something to him.
However, judging from the hand that the man just showed, this is obviously not the gardener in his impression.
"Hey, Master Zhangchou, we meet again!"
A few feet away, the gardener sneered darkly. He stretched out his palm, grabbed the edge of the face, and tore it off forcefully, revealing a completely different face, vicious, vicious, and full of a dangerous aura.
"It's you!"
Zhangchou Jianqiong's face changed slightly, and he recognized him instantly. In the previous assassination, this person in front of him was one of them.
"Master Zhangchou, are you waiting for the guards in the mansion? Don't waste your efforts, I have already brought them all down!"
The gardener smiled triumphantly.
"you dare!"
In an instant, Zhangchou Jianqiong's face became extremely cold.
"Hey, at this moment and at that moment, you have already been poisoned by my rotten bone poison. This poison is very easy to spread. It is no surprise that the master who specializes in restraining the peak generals of the empire, the poison should have spread to the Shanzhong area. Just a few breaths can penetrate all the blood in your body, even if you have great ability, you can't show it."
The man in black sneered, looking at Zhangchou Jianqiong as if he was looking at a dead person. The reason why he pulled back and said these words to Zhangchou Jianqiong was not without reason. The longer the time dragged on, the more the poison would spread. , the more violent the attack.
Zhangchou Jianqiong's strength is really too strong. Not only did he not succeed in the last ambush, allowing Zhangchou Jianqiong to escape calmly, but also killed a master, so he had to make a bad move.
"Rotten bones are highly poisonous!"
Hearing these four words, Zhangchou Jianqiong's face also changed instantly, but the man in black disguised as a gardener on the opposite side didn't elaborate any more, his body jerked, and at this very moment, he slammed towards Zhangchou Jianqiong. Joan lunged forward. Hum, there was a flash of light, and that person disappeared into the void instantly like a ghost.
Void escape!
With a flash of light, when that person reappeared, he was already behind Zhangchou Jianqiong in another direction. Booming, the void vibrated, and a black flame billowed like a tide, quickly sweeping towards Zhangchou Jianqiong.
As the black flame passed by, the medicine spoons, peonies, chrysanthemums, and flowerpots on the wooden shelves all turned into ashes in an instant, flying all over the sky.
boom!
And almost at the same time, in a panic, Zhangchou Jianqiong slapped out a fierce palm, and a huge force exploded, unexpectedly shaking the man in black more than ten feet away, and slammed into the ground hard. On a plum blossom tree that was as thick as a bowl, the trunk of the plum blossom tree was directly smashed into pieces.
On the other side, Zhangchou Jianqiong was also engulfed by billowing black flames, but in the blink of an eye, with a whoosh, the black flames all over the sky immediately disappeared without a trace.
Zhangchou Jianqiong stood where he was, unscathed!
"How can this be?!"
Seeing this scene, the man in black exclaimed, unable to believe his eyes. He couldn't believe that Zhangchou Jianqiong actually had such strength. Under the condition of rotten bone poison in his body, he was able to blow him away with overwhelming strength, even the destructive Mo Luo Even the fire can't do anything to him!
"Hmph, what's impossible?"
Zhangchou Jianqiong said coldly. Without the slightest hesitation, he jerked his body, and in the next moment, a violent energy, golden light, overwhelming, overwhelming, rushed towards the man in black.
And the golden energy flew out several feet, and immediately parted to the sides, like two huge waves several feet high, and slammed toward the middle. When the strength flew out, there was a faint sound of wind and thunder. If it was hit, even steel would be crushed into powder.
"ah!"
Seeing this scene, even the man in black couldn't help but exclaimed, his expression changed slightly, and he suddenly retreated backwards, narrowly avoiding Zhangchou Jianqiong's blow.
Two waves of golden energy collided, sending out a steel-like roar, shaking the surrounding wooden frames, flower pots, pools, rockery...all into powder, and flying out in all directions.
"No! You are not Zhangchou Jianqiong! Who are you?"
In another place more than ten feet away, the pupils of the man in black shrank, and he looked at Zhangchou Jianqiong in the garden with an incomparably cold expression.
Not long ago, they fought against Zhangchou Jianqiong. Zhangchou Jianqiong didn't have this kind of aura and fighting style at all, the two were as different as heaven and earth.
"Haha, of course I'm not Zhangchou Jianqiong, you gutless bandits who only know how to assassinate, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
On the other side, the back garden was full of mess, "Zhangchou Jianqiong" stood in the middle of a peony flower and said with a sneer. The aura on his face changed, and in the astonished eyes of the man in black, that majestic and resolute face slowly changed, and quickly changed from Zhangchou Jianqiong to another face.
"you!"
Seeing the completely different young face in front of him, the man in black looked extremely shocked:
"Son of Destruction!"
They prepared for this operation for a long time and planned it carefully, but they didn't expect that when they disguised their identities and sneaked into the Minister's Mansion of the Ministry of War under disguise, the Zhangchou Jianqiong in front of them was also disguised by someone.
This made them completely unexpected!
"The remnants of you are really pervasive!"
Wang Chong sneered, looking at the world, the only people who would use the words "son of destruction" to describe him were those men in black whose origins were a mystery. It's fine for them to deal with themselves, but now they have extended their palms into the court, this is absolutely intolerable to Wang Chong!
"If you come, you will be safe. When you arrive at the Minister's Mansion of the Ministry of War, don't even think about leaving!"
Bursts of intense murderous intent erupted in Wang Chong's eyes, without the slightest hesitation, his thoughts moved, boom, a majestic aura immediately locked onto the man in black not far away.
At the same time, the air wave exploded, and right on Wang Chong's left and right shoulders, two powerful air waves swirled, one golden and the other red, turning into two huge miniatures of sun and moon energy.
Now that his identity has been exposed, Wang Chong no longer hides it, and quickly displayed the Great Yin-Yang Heaven and Earth Good Fortune Kung Fu.
