Chapter 30: Four ounces and a thousand pounds

Before Fu Qingzhou could react, Hua Xiaolan tried to drag him away.

But Fu Qingzhou frowned, flipped his hand and shook off Hua Xiaolan.

"Speak clearly."

He said calmly: "Otherwise I won't go anywhere."

In an instant, two cold murderous intent shot out from Hua Xiaolan's big eyes!
After coming into contact with the Ten Thousand Poisons Mountain, Fu Qingzhou was looked at with murderous eyes many times, including Meng Zhugang, Elder Nian, Jiang Yunfeng... but no one had such a look in his eyes.

If they all wanted to kill him at that moment, then Hua Xiaolan gave him the feeling that...

You were quietly enjoying the cool in the yard when suddenly your foot was stung by a tiny ant passing by. You frowned, looked at the ant, and then stepped on it to death.

Those who have been in high positions for a long time look down on the people at the bottom like ants.

The next moment, her hands were raised, and a strange fragrance was wafting from her wide sleeves, as if she was going to do something.

However, the hand was only raised halfway before it stopped.

Fu Qingzhou took out the "Ming Jian Zhi Shi" jade token and played with it gently: "You came here for this, right?"

A flash of murderous intent flashed across Hua Xiaolan's eyes, and was replaced by astonishment.

"Haha, I guessed it the moment I saw you."

Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "Kua Ye has already said that it has nothing to do with me, but you suddenly came to take me away. After thinking about it, this is the only valuable thing I have."

"You know that I used this sign to scare off Elder Ma last night? Do you want me to use it again?"

He flipped his hand and took the sign back: "It seems that you are in big trouble."

"You are too smart..." Hua Xiaolan narrowed her eyes: "This may not be a good thing."

The two times I saw her before, she always looked like a cute and lively girl, but it was different tonight. She looked more like a murderous witch.

Perhaps, this person tonight is the real her.

Fu Qingzhou didn't care. He curled his lips and said, "You know I'm smart, so you told me the story so that you don't do anything stupid. Don't worry, I hope you win. At least you still have a promise to me. If you lose, I'm afraid I'll have to die in this mountain."

Hua Xiaolan looked at him deeply, took a deep breath, and seemed to be trying to suppress her temper: "Too late!"

"There's enough time."

Fu Qingzhou said slowly: "If you make the wrong choice, we will only waste more time."

Hua Xiaolan didn't know why he was so sure, but she finally gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll tell you!"

But before she spoke, her eyes passed Fu Qingzhou's side and glanced at Tang Jiao behind him.

Tang Jiao was very understanding and stood up immediately: "Brother, I will prepare some food for you, so that you can fill your stomach when you come back."

After saying that, she lowered her head and walked quickly past the two of them.

Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "Can you tell me now?"

"The elder is gone."

Hua Xiaolan spoke very quickly and quickly explained the whole thing clearly.

After Fu Qingzhou successfully diverted the attention of Elders Nian and Ma as the "Mingjian Pavilion secret envoy", she and Elder Yu from the same camp took this opportunity to do something.

These things include but are not limited to: ambushing in advance in the Youzhu Cave where Long Dabei was imprisoned, gathering people to ambush the most powerful Elder Ma in the mountain, tracking the old elder who held the brass key... and so on.

To put it simply, it means to strike first based on the prediction that the other party may start an internal fight and release Long Dabei.

Overall, the plan was successful.

The team that went to ambush Elder Ma was led by Elder Yu. After a hard battle, they successfully defeated Elder Ma. Although Elder Yu himself was seriously injured, he finally completed the mission.

Of course, there were some minor incidents in between. According to Hua Xiaolan... Elder Ma originally had a backup plan that no one knew about, and he almost broke out. However, because he had protected Jiang Yunfeng in the Thousand Witches Tower the night before under the pressure of Fu Qingzhou's jade token, he failed to recover to his peak condition and was eventually captured.

At the same time, the loyal disciples of the elders and Elder Ma were also dispersed and defeated one by one because they were sent out to investigate Fu Qingzhou's identity and whether there were people from the imperial court outside the mountain.

However, Elder Nian disappeared. He had led a group of disciples to Youzhu Cave, but something happened on the way, and all the disciples he brought died. The few people who followed him were also poisoned to death, and even their bones rotted. However, the people who were ambushing outside Youzhu Cave did not wait for Elder Nian to release Long Dabei.

No one knew where he went or what he was going to do.

Therefore, Hua Xiaolan guessed that with Elder Nian's murderous character, he might have hidden himself and wanted to kill Elder Yu and all of them, and then release Long Dabi when there was no chance of error.

But now Elder Yu is temporarily unable to fight again, and there is no strong person in the mountain who can compete with Elder Nian in a short time. That's why she thought of the jade token in Fu Qingzhou's hand that can suppress Elder Ma.

"So, you want me to go with you to protect Elder Yu?"

Fu Qingzhou chuckled: "Or, sit back and wait for the elders to come and kill us?"

Hua Xiaolan nodded with a serious face.

"so far so good……"

Fu Qingzhou exhaled lightly: "Fortunately I asked you to tell us the story again, otherwise we would really be doomed."

Hua Xiaolan frowned: "What do you mean?"

"It's obvious." Fu Qingzhou said with a smile: "Your judgment is wrong."

He said leisurely, "As the saying goes, speed is of the essence in war. Since the elder was able to immediately go to Youzhu Cave while sending people to kill me, it at least proves one thing - he knows that only by releasing Long Dabei can he gain a real advantage."

"As for Elder Ma, let me guess..."

He blinked. "When you met him, there was no one around him, right?"

Hua Xiaolan was startled: "Yes...wait, are you saying that Elder Ma came here on purpose to delay us?"

"correct."

Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "Even if the elder doesn't know that you have made preparations in advance, it shouldn't be a problem for him to take precautions in advance if he wants to do something big, right?"

Hua Xiaolan lowered her head and fell into deep thought, her eyes changing from time to time, and no one knew what she was thinking.

"Don't think so much."

Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "The only thing that Elder Nian needs to do right now is to release Long Dabei. The reason why your ambushers didn't find him may be because his realm is far beyond those disciples, or it may be because he knows another path..."

Hearing him say this, Hua Xiaolan was shocked: "Isn't that Long Dabei?"

"rest assured."

Fu Qingzhou laughed: "He can't release Long Dabei."

This time Hua Xiaolan was really confused: "Why are you so sure?"

Fu Qingzhou blinked, reached out his hand and searched around in his body, and finally took out a brass key!
In the eyes of Hua Xiaolan's shock and confusion, he smiled and said, "Because the key that the elder took was actually a fake."

The whole room fell silent in an instant, and Hua Xiaolan's mouth opened wider and wider.

"you you you……"

She was stunned. "How did you do that? Did you know that we would arrest you and take the key away before you entered the mountain, so you prepared a fake one in advance? And you were searched when we detained you before, so how could you possibly hide this key?"

Fu Qingzhou shrugged and curled his lips: "I can even hide a jade token, how can I not hide a key?"

Hearing him say this, Hua Xiaolan's pupils suddenly shook and she understood something.

But she didn't show it, instead she quickly smiled: "Great! The elders can't get the key, there's no way they can release Long Dabei!"

Fu Qingzhou smiled and nodded: "This is the use of a little force to achieve a great result - no matter how many tricks he has, he has no way to deal with the key thing in our hands."

As he spoke, he handed the key forward.

Hua Xiaolan understood and reached out to take it.

But just as her fingertips touched the key, the elder's sneer suddenly rang in their ears!

"Ignorant child!"

The next second, the entire roof of the stilt house exploded!
