Who among the gangsters wants to fall in love?

Chapter 117: Wu Kui's power gradually reveals its true strength

The hall was silent and there was a faint smell of blood.

Being in the Dongyan base camp, there was no guarantee that someone would discover him at any time, so Zhao Wumian did not want to waste time and asked Lin Daoren coldly:
"You won't survive, but if you answer truthfully, you'll be in for a quick death."

Lin Daoren's eyes flickered slightly. He had said these words to Zhao Wumian not long ago, but he never expected that their positions would be reversed in the blink of an eye.

"Why are the Cartilage Pills and the Qi-Transforming Powder useless to you?" he asked in a hoarse voice.

Zhao Wumian's hand was on his neck. If he dared to shout loudly, he would be killed immediately.

"I was once poisoned by the Cold Jade Gu, but now the poison has been resolved, and I am immune to all poisons." Facing a dying man, Zhao Wumian did not hide anything... and this guy is the right chief of the Imperial City Division, in charge of intelligence, so maybe he knows some clues about the Cold Jade Gu.

“Cold Jade Gu…” Lin Daoren was in a trance for a moment, then he remembered something and said slowly:

"The Cold Jade Gu appeared in the martial arts world a hundred years ago, but it caused the deaths of hundreds of people. Jiang Wensong, the then master of Guixuan Valley, wanted to destroy it, but he couldn't bear to give up his life's work, so he had to live in seclusion. Later, it was surrounded and suppressed by the masters of the previous dynasty, and the Cold Jade Gu was returned to the treasury of the previous dynasty. When Dali broke through the capital, the court was in chaos, and the Cold Jade Gu disappeared from the treasury...

...But since this poison of the Gu King can be used on you, it seems that your identity is not as simple as a 'Dragon Guardian'."

Lin Daoren narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Zhao Wumian's face...but he still couldn't tell who Zhao Wumian was in the underworld.

Zhao Wumian was a little surprised that this Right Chief could actually tell him something.

"Right, right. I'm well-read in ancient books. The whereabouts of the Hanyu Gu is also recorded in "Records of the Grand Historian: Emperor Kunyou." At this moment, the medicine-jar prince suddenly interrupted, but after saying a few words he coughed again, and his face seemed to have become paler, as if he was about to die.

Zhao Wumian glanced at Luo Changshou, "Who is he?"

"I am the Crown Prince of Jin." Luo Changshou took the initiative to speak and sighed, "More than a month ago, I disguised myself and traveled all the way. I was about to go to the King of Yan's house to pay New Year's greetings, but I was intercepted halfway."

Zhao Wumian was slightly stunned, his expression slightly bewildered, "You are the only son of King Jin? The prince who has been weak and sickly since childhood and has no martial arts skills!?"

"Oh?" Luo Changshou, the prince of Jin, smiled frivolously. Seeing that Zhao Wumian was so fierce, he thought that he might be able to save him. He immediately told him everything he knew, and kept on talking:
"Brother Wumian, have you heard of my reputation? According to the rules, when a prince turns eighteen, he should go to the capital to study for three years. I will be eighteen next year. I originally planned to pay New Year's greetings to the Prince of Yan and then come to the capital. I never thought that I would not only come to the capital, but also live in the East Palace... Although I was imprisoned, I have been living here for more than twenty days."

As he spoke, Luo Changshou sighed and said seriously:

“Brother Wumian, I think you came here specifically to deal with this group of insects… Brother Wumian has powerful martial arts skills and is a rare master in the martial arts world. I wonder if you need a good horse to ride on?
My father is the King of Jin, and he has resisted the Rong tribe for twenty years. Only grasslands can produce thousand-mile horses, so my father has seized many thousand-mile horses in recent years. If Brother Wumian can escort me back to Taiyuan in Jin, what if I give Brother Wumian three thousand-mile horses? Um... but forget about it, the palace only has three thousand-mile horses at present, and the rest have been given away."

Zhao Wumian ignored the talkative Prince Jin for the time being, and instead looked at Lin Daoren coldly, using more force in his movements, "What do you want to do by arresting Prince Jin?"

Lin Daoren closed his eyes and said calmly: "Although I am a eunuch, I still have parents and brothers. If I tell you about our Dongyan plan, my adoptive father will definitely not let them off...People in the palace are also human beings."

Seeing that Lin Daoren still had some courage, Jin Wang's son Luo Changshou pondered for a moment, and then said to Zhao Wumian: "Brother Wumian, to be honest, since I left Jin, I have been investigating the past events of my mother's family. Dong Yan may have arrested me for this matter."

Zhao Wumian tilted his head to look at him, and Luo Changshou immediately explained:

“During the Jingnan Campaign, my father sent troops to help Your Majesty. Everyone in the world knows about this, and Your Majesty also promised to protect my mother’s family during the war… that is, the Nie family in Qin.

The Nie family's century-old foundation is in Qin, and they cannot leave at will. Your Majesty started the rebellion in Qin, which was the rear base of the Jingnan Campaign. It was expected to be extremely safe, but even so, the family was tragically exterminated overnight. My mother was depressed and died soon after. This is undoubtedly your majesty's responsibility.

But the mastermind has not been caught yet, and I have been secretly investigating for several years, and only recently found some clues..."

Luo Changshou took a deep breath, and without keeping anyone in suspense, he said coldly with a hint of hatred in his voice:
"The culprit who killed the Nie family overnight was named Xia Chengsong. At that time, there was no such thing as a martial arts champion... At that time, the top warriors in the martial arts world were all respectfully called "Yue", which originally meant the highest and most difficult mountain to climb in the martial arts world. Xia Chengsong was one of the "Five Mountains" at that time. He had already built a bridge between heaven and earth, and now...

He has entered the palace, changed his surname to Lin, and became the chief eunuch, in charge of all palace affairs.

After he finished speaking, Lin Daoren sighed silently, obviously being hit on by Luo Changshou's words.

After Luo Changshou finished speaking, his expression became more distorted, and his tone became more unwilling.
"Eunuch Lin caused my mother's tragic death, and his actions obviously caused a rift between my father and Your Majesty. In addition, the Crown Prince is in a coma and the whole world is in turmoil. I guess he wants to force my father to lead his troops into the capital and cause chaos in the world, so as to seek something. Therefore, I have never dared to tell my father about this. I went to the capital to study, and I might have thought of finding a way to kill him and avenge my mother...but I was caught before I could accomplish my mission..."

Before Luo Changshou finished speaking, a feminine voice seemed to come from all directions, and it seemed to whisper in everyone's ears, "Prince Jin is very perceptive. If you continue to investigate, you may be able to find out how many times I went to brothels before entering the palace."

As soon as these words were spoken, Luo Changshou's scalp suddenly went numb and a hint of horror appeared in his eyes.

Lin Daoren's expression, which was calm just now, instantly turned into ecstasy, "Godfather..."

Before he could finish his words, there was a loud snap and Zhao Wumian broke his neck on the spot.

Then Zhao Wumian looked coldly outside the hall.

There was layer upon layer of snow outside the door, and from time to time snowflakes floated into the hall, fell on the floor tiles, and quickly melted into water droplets.

And in the snow, there was a figure standing.

At a glance, the figure does not seem to be tall and straight, but rather a bit hunched.

But Zhao Wumian did not dare to be careless at all. He was full of solemnity. He bent down to pick up a long steel sword that had not yet broken, but saw a figure slowly stepping into the hall from the snow.

This man was wearing a dark red official uniform and came with his hands behind his back. His face looked weathered but with a leisurely smile. Although he walked on the snow, there was not a single snowflake on his body.

"Xia Chengsong..." The Prince of Jin gritted his teeth, and the voice was almost squeezed out from between his teeth.

Xia Chengsong, also known as the current chief eunuch Lin, ignored Luo Changshou, but looked at Zhao Wumian and smiled slightly.

"You took the initiative to sneak into the East Palace. You have courage, determination, and martial arts. You are truly a great man... It's a pity that you underestimated Wu Kui. Although you defeated them in just one breath, the sound of the fight at this moment is extremely harsh to my ears."

After that, he looked at the corpses around him again, with a look of surprise on his face, "Little Western Heaven's Daluo Mi Tian Finger, and... the Wu Gui Finger in the Five Qi Sutra? When I created this finger technique, I did borrow some from Little Western Heaven, but I never thought that there would be someone in the world who could integrate the two finger techniques into one. He is really talented... But you did it?"

Eunuch Lin suddenly appeared here, but he did not subdue Zhao Wumian immediately. Instead, he wanted to talk to Zhao Wumian.

This was his confidence and ease as the strongest man here, a martial arts master... When he noticed the fight happening here and came here in person, Zhao Wumian was already finished in his eyes. No matter what Zhao Wumian did, he could not escape from his grasp.

Zhao Wumian tightened the hilt of his knife, his heart becoming more solemn. Eunuch Lin's words revealed a lot of information, "Is the Five Qi Classic your martial arts?"

Eunuch Lin laughed and said:
"When we were young, who didn't have the frivolous idea of ​​creating the best martial arts in the world? The Five Qi Classic was created back then. After I became one of the Five Mountains, I observed martial arts from all over the world and combined it with decades of practical experience. It took me three years to create this martial arts.

I wanted to find a disciple to pass it on, but no one in the world is worthy of my attention, so I wrote it down and left it in a cave, waiting for someone with a destiny to get it..."

After saying that, Eunuch Lin pondered for a while, "But as far as I know, the Five Qi Classic was learned by the Tie Luosha couple. They practiced martial arts diligently, and I once gave them some pointers on a whim..."

"They were supposed to be protecting the princess, but now that you have learned the Five Qi Classic, they are dead." After saying this, Eunuch Lin shook his head slightly and said indifferently:

"They made mistakes when they first entered the capital, but Luo Chaoyan's mother once spoke well of them in front of the late emperor, so they were grateful and acted with loyalty... And they really had no talent, so they wasted their talents by learning martial arts from me. Now they died on the way to protect Luo Chaoyan, which is good for both me and them."

Zhao Wumian took a deep breath, anger rising in his heart, but he smiled and said, "You damn eunuch, you have quite a leisure time? When you castrated yourself, you used the Yunxiaowusan from Yunyilou, right? That knife is fast, and you can suffer less pain when you castrate yourself. This is the biggest benefit of your creation of the Five Qi Sutra."

"You have never communicated with the bridge of heaven and earth, and you have not entered the realm of martial arts champion. Now you still want to fight with me?" Eunuch Lin slowly restrained his smile, looked at Zhao Wumian, and then said in a calm tone:
"Where is Luo Chaoyan?"

Obviously, Eunuch Lin had guessed Zhao Wumian's identity through the "Five Qi Classic".

wipe----

Zhao Wumian did not answer, but turned his wrist slightly and grasped the long sword with his backhand. The next moment, he stomped his feet heavily and his figure suddenly disappeared. From Luo Changshou's perspective, he saw only a flash of cold light, and Zhao Wumian was like a galloping silver dragon biting towards Eunuch Lin.

Eunuch Lin's nonchalant expression suddenly changed slightly. He raised his hand abruptly, and then held the long sword with two fingers. He looked like he was walking leisurely, but the fingers holding the sword were trembling slightly. Then he exerted force suddenly, and directly broke the fine steel long sword picked up by Zhao Wumian into pieces.

This is considered as playing rogue... From a technical point of view, he couldn't break Zhao Wumian's swordsmanship, so he chose to break his sword, which was a way of trying to please others.

Once the long sword broke, he was left without any weapon. He could not use the sword and knife techniques in Wan Yue Xian, nor could he use the Yun Yilou and Yuehua Sword. He could only rely on the 'Yun Shu Finger' to fight the enemy.

Zhao Wumian knew that the quality of the sword was poor and it could be broken easily, so Wan Yuexian was just a feint. At this moment, he approached Eunuch Lin, and the five fingers of his other hand were like eagle claws, instantly attacking Eunuch Lin's throat.

Eunuch Lin was secretly shocked. Although Zhao Wumian was so young, his martial arts were indeed extraordinary. However, he was seventy-five years old this year and had been fighting in the martial arts world all his life. He was also a top martial artist of the previous generation. Of course, he would not be afraid of Zhao Wumian. He immediately slapped out with his palm, and Zhao Wumian's five fingers collided head-on.

boom-----

Inside the vast hall, the air waves were instantly discharged to all directions, and the door of the hall seemed to be hit by a huge rock and instantly turned outside the hall, making a "creaking" friction sound. The snow curtain outside the hall was swept away by the strong wind that surged out from the hall, like a small tornado.

The floor tiles beneath Eunuch Lin's feet instantly cracked, but his lower body was as steady as a rock, his robe fluttered, making rustling sounds, his face remained calm, he used the skill of 'dissipating force' to transfer all of Zhao Wumian's strength to his feet... Qin Shuzi also knew how to use this trick, but compared to Eunuch Lin, his level was not even up to the standard.

The floor tiles under Zhao Wumian's feet also cracked, but his body suddenly flew backwards and hit the wall of the hall, smashing it, and then flew outward without slowing down.

Zhao Wumian thought to himself that Eunuch Lin was terribly strong, could he be Wu Kui?
At the beginning, Liu Yuezhi was praised as the eleventh martial arts champion in the world, but the gap between them was obviously not in the same league.

At this moment, the information has been obtained. Although it is impossible to save the Prince of Jin, it is also known that the person behind Dong Yan is most likely Eunuch Lin. He doesn't even have the Kunwu Sword with him, so he can't use his powerful sword skills. If he continues to fight, he will be courting death. Zhao Wumian immediately adjusted his body shape in the air, stomped his foot hard on the eaves of the hall, and shot forward.

But at this moment, Eunuch Lin appeared behind Zhao Wumian like a ghost, his robe was pulled backwards at an extremely fast speed, and he punched Zhao Wumian.

Zhao Wumian was slightly startled, turned around and pointed suddenly.

boom----

A hole suddenly appeared in the layers of snow in the air, and then Zhao Wumian smashed down again. He maintained his center of gravity, used his lightness skills to stomp heavily on the snow, and then the snow on the surrounding eaves trembled.

Then Zhao Wumian's boots slid a distance on the snow before the force eased. Immediately, he couldn't help coughing and actually spit out a mouthful of blood, which splashed on the snow, extremely dazzling.

Zhao Wumian heard the sound of breaking wind and looked up, only to see guards holding swords standing on every corner of the eaves and corridors of the East Palace, blocking all the main traffic arteries and surrounding Zhao Wumian.

Most of the guards who can guard the East Palace at such a sensitive moment are masters.

At this moment, Eunuch Lin flew down gracefully and stood in front of Zhao Wumian, standing with his hands behind his back as usual, and asked with a smile: "Do you surrender?"

Zhao Wumian wiped the blood from between his lips with the back of his hand, and looked at the scene where he was surrounded by Wu Kui and a group of masters. He was silent for a moment, and then smiled faintly, but he took a stance, obviously determined to fight to the end.

Eunuch Lin needs Zhao Wumian to be alive so that he can force him to reveal Luo Chaoyan's whereabouts. Zhao Wumian is not afraid of him at this moment and is fearless... and judging by the time, his reinforcements will be here soon.

Eunuch Lin's smiling face slowly cooled down, and then he narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhao Wumian, carefully examining him for a few seconds, and then a look of sudden enlightenment suddenly appeared on his face, and then he said coldly:

"So it's you... Half a month ago, you came to the palace to steal the Nine Bells, but you managed to escape by luck. Now, you actually dare to interfere in this matter."

As he spoke, a hint of sneer and amusement appeared on his face again, "It's really a huge joke that the people of Taixuan Palace are escorting the legitimate princess."

Zhao Wumian was slightly stunned. This sentence revealed a lot of information. Before he could think about it carefully, he heard the palace maid's loud call from behind him the next moment.

"The Queen has arrived——"
