Chapter 374: The Poison King Gathering
"Dad! Woo hoo..."
Outside the capital, the little fairies who came to meet up cried and threw themselves into their father's arms.
Murong Wudi, who was wearing prison uniform, hugged his daughter and burst into tears. Murong Zhong and Murong Zheng were also crying.
Murong Shu stood nearby, also wiping the tears from her eyes.
Xu Xin secretly observed what happened last night. When he thought about it carefully, he felt that something was wrong. After reviewing it, he found that he might have been tricked.
What happened last night was either uncontrollable or intentional by Concubine Shu, who just went with the flow.
Murong Shu did not resist Xu Xin's approach last night, but asked him not to touch the little fairy for the time being. This was not only for the sake of her sister's innocence, but also to win over Xu Xin.
Murong Shu has truly experienced Xu Xin's profound skills, and before the arrival of the master Nanhai Shenni, Xu Xin was the only helper around the sisters, so they naturally had to maintain a good relationship.
The younger sister has not yet left the cabinet, so she cannot be casual with others, lest she be looked down upon, and then she is the only one who will be sacrificed as the elder sister.
Of course, it was also because the atmosphere last night was really... a coincidence. Both of them were a little impulsive.
The strength that Xu Xin showed later was far beyond Murong Shu's expectation. I thought it would take a lot of effort to save his family, but I didn't expect that last night... I always felt that Xu Xin was practicing his words of being responsible.
"Thank you, my dear nephew, for saving me! I am deeply grateful. Please accept my regards!"
After Murong Wudi learned what happened from his daughter, he was naturally very grateful to Xu Xin, thanked him and knelt down.
"Uncle, you don't have to be polite. Miss Murong and I are close friends. If Miss Murong is in trouble, why would I just sit idly by and ignore it? Please don't take it to heart."
Xu Xin quickly supported Murong Wudi, and his old father-in-law knelt down on his knees. He, Xu, was not an emperor in this life, so how could he do it!
"Dad, get up quickly!"
"Dad, please don't do this!"
Murong Xian and Murong Shu spoke one after another, and the two sisters helped Murong Wudi up together.
"Although we are out of danger now, we are still in danger. Liu Xi may chase us at any time. Let's discuss where to hide next!"
Murong Shu brought up another topic, and everyone suddenly started thinking about it.
"We can't stay in the capital, otherwise we can go south!"
Xu Xin suggested, and the others agreed after thinking about it.
The main reason is that they have no good hiding direction now. Even if they want to go to the Emei Sect's Nanhai Shenni, they still need to go south.
The group rested for half a day, and after making some preparations, they left the capital and headed south.
Just a few hours after they left the capital, Liu Xi finally came out of the palace, obtained the order to leave the capital for arrest, and took many leaders of the Dongchang and Tiqi to hunt south.
…
There were thunder and lightning and heavy rain, and no one could see the pedestrians walking outside. Only the lights in the houses on both sides of the street were on, exuding a touch of warmth, forming a distinct contrast with the desertedness of the heavy rainstorm outside. Compared.
A carriage was traveling in the rain, accompanied by thunder, in the rain. There has been a lot of rainwater on the ground, there are many puddles, and the carriage is very bumpy.
Xu Xin drove the carriage and finally stopped outside an inn. The lights in the inn are brightly lit, several times brighter than the lights in the surrounding houses. There are also some noisy sounds coming from it, which are particularly eye-catching in this rainy night.
"The Poison King Group of Heroes? What is this?"
The little fairy pulled her head out and saw a banner pulled up outside the inn, with five large black characters "Poison King Heroes Association" written on it.
"I don't know, but it shouldn't affect our rest!"
Xu Xin shook his head, his gaze was quite profound. Little Fairy and the others thought they met by accident, but they didn't know that Xu Xin was here just for the Poison Kings and Heroes meeting held today.
The carriage entered the backyard of the inn, and Xu Xin and others got off the carriage and came to the front hall.
The front hall of the inn was brightly lit, almost like daylight.
In the two-story attic, the tables and chairs in the hall on the first floor were full of people. The tables and chairs in the corridor on the second floor were also full. There were even some people who had no seats and found places to stand by themselves.
These people were men and women, old and young, some were bare-chested, some were in ragged clothes, and some were wearing rich clothes.
They all had cold and stern expressions on their faces, and they were obviously not kind characters. But one thing is that few of them carry weapons.
Murong Wudi glanced at them calmly for a few times, then lowered his voice and said, "Let's all be careful. I recognize some of them, and they are all members of the poisonous sect!"
"A person in a poisonous sect, a guy who uses poison!"
"Dad, why don't we change to an inn?"
When Murong Zheng and Murong Zhong heard the word "Poison Sect", they immediately became a little scared.
“It’s such a rainy day, it’s so hard to find an inn!”
Murong Wudi shook his head, and said in a slightly louder voice: "We are all in the world, and we have no grudges or grudges. Who would offend others randomly!"
What he said was a warning to the people around him that he and others also had a background, and he would not cause trouble and would not be afraid of it.
After Murong Wudi finished speaking these words, the number of eyes around him suddenly became much less appreciative. But there are also some people who are not afraid at all and come straight to trouble.
"You guys, stop!"
A rough-looking man stopped a few people and looked at them with a malicious smile.
"Are you looking for trouble?"
Xu Xin came to this man in a few steps and glanced at him lightly.
"Boy, it's you. Today is the meeting of our Poison Kings and Heroes. People from our Poison Sect are here to select the Poison King through a poisoning and detoxification competition. There is just one missing person who has been poisoned."
The rough man stared at Xu Xin and sneered: "We have decided that whoever comes in first from outside the inn will be the one who is poisoned. You are very lucky. You are destined to choose the poison king for our poison sect. ,make a contribution."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter around him. In their opinion, with so many people from the poisonous sect here, Xu Xin can only accept the poison obediently and be the unlucky guy so that the poisonous kings and heroes meeting can continue. If they dare to resist, they will be finished.
"Boy, got it!"
As the rugged man spoke, he took out a green medicine bottle from his arms, poured out a green pill, and said, "Swallow this pill."
"Eat your own poison!"
Xu Xin glanced at him and saw that there was such a guy who was not afraid of death. He grabbed his palm, pressed it on the rough man's mouth, and stuffed the green pill into his mouth.
"Guzi..."
The man swallowed the green pill involuntarily.
Xu Xin's movements were so fast that everyone's eyes were blurred. Then the rugged man knelt on the ground and dug his fingers into his throat, trying to spit out the pills, but this was in vain.
Finally, he pointed at Xu Xin, his face turned a pale green, he couldn't continue to say anything, fell to the ground, foamed at the mouth, twitched and lost his voice.
