Jiangshan Fengwuzhi

Chapter 104

Zheng Kuangfu was indeed unexpected.

Tonight, Gu Jingnian's actions were not going according to his expectations. He even came right in front of him, making him feel a little out of control.

But perhaps because the distance was still far, he was not panicked. He just raised his hand and pointed, and instructed the butler Xu Yuanqi who was serving beside him: "The medicinal materials are here, call for support and capture him."

"Yes."

Xu Yuanqi quickly made arrangements and reported to Zheng Kuangfu: "We have arranged for the staff, and Ah Shui will be here soon. Master, shall we go first?"

"How can a hunter run away in fear when seeing his prey?"

Zheng Kuangfu waved his hand calmly, knowing that it might not be safe to leave.

For now, he could only see Gu Jingnian and Lu Yanning, so how could he know if Pei Nian was lying in ambush somewhere else waiting for him to move.

He raised his hand and pointed, "Why is Lu Yanning still so full of energy?"

Xu Yuanqi looked in the direction he pointed and could only see candlelight shining on the wall.

"Mr. Xia has indeed cast a spell on him, and there is no antidote to this spell. Perhaps his body is too strong, so he can still hold on. But... if we don't capture him quickly, and wait until the spell breaks out and he can't proceed to the next step, I'm afraid we won't be able to control him."

"That's fine." Zheng Kuangfu said, "At worst, we can try with someone else."

"Yes."

The new alchemy technique has been developed by alchemists in recent years. The biggest difference between it and the method of raising snakes and the method of blood exchange is that it no longer requires the sacrifice of hundreds or thousands of lives in order to produce powerful warriors.

In this way, the country of Rui will not follow the path of the country of Yue which was destroyed by alchemy. On the contrary, its national strength will be greatly increased because of alchemy.

This will be Zheng Kuangfu's greatest achievement as prime minister.

However, the means of refining the monkey is not yet mature and is currently only in the trial stage.

"He is indeed very strong." Zheng Kuangfu said, "Even from such a distance, I can still see the throbbing muscles on his chest."

"Master has excellent eyesight."

Zheng Kuangfu laughed at himself and said, "I am the most timid among my classmates. I have learned the art of alchemy for so many years, but I only dared to change my eyes because my original eyes were damaged and I had to change them."

He had already seen that his guards were lying in ambush, ready to attack Gu Jingnian and the other two.

This state of being able to see the other person from a very long distance while the other person cannot see him gives him a sense of superiority and security.

He was satisfied with his eyes. He finally got rid of the dry, sore and blind eyes caused by years of burying his head in paperwork.

In order to replace his eyes, Xia Juqi came up with a very ingenious method. Instead of replacing his blood, he found many people and injected Zheng Kuangfu's blood into their heart veins. It was unknown how many people died until one survived. Xia Juqi dug out his eyes and replaced Zheng Kuangfu's.

This shows that the art of alchemy is magical and ever-changing.

If Chu Danqing liked to follow the experience of his predecessors and practice mechanically, Xia Juqi preferred to delve into new techniques, believing that there should be an endless stream of new techniques.

Zheng Kuangfu has his own persistence.

Although he was very happy about his new eyes, he always believed that alchemy should be practiced with restraint. It can be practiced, but it must be used in accordance with the way of a gentleman and to strengthen the country rather than just to strengthen individuals.

When he formed the society in Chongjing Academy back then, it was he who insisted on using "Junzi" as the name of the society. It was because of this broad mind that he was able to become the prime minister.

Although he also searched for medicinal herbs for others and sacrificed many lives and civilians over the years, he himself only changed a pair of eyes.

In short, in his mind, he was still a prime minister who was concerned about the country and the people, and worked hard to strengthen the national strength of Switzerland. As for Gu Jingnian and others, they were just necessary sacrifices to increase the national strength.

From what he could see, Gu Jingnian had already reached the outside of the private residence.

He is a man of extraordinary talents, able to attack and defend, and can be said to be very powerful.

Although Xu Yuanqi could not see the specific situation outside, he could feel Gu Jingnian's unstoppable momentum by listening to the noise.

The situation was critical, and he had to persuade again: "Master, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Should we take shelter?"

In fact, Zheng Kuangfu was no longer as calm as before. His usually calm expression changed. His hands on the chair moved slightly, and he seemed to be unable to sit still.

He lifted his butt slightly and moved the stool away.

But the next moment, without waiting for others to notice, he sat down again, continued to put on that calm expression, and said: "No hurry, Ah Shui is here."

--------

Gu Jingnian has become increasingly skilled in using the Fire Wings, waving them around to kill people.

With his current strength, as long as he didn't encounter a powerful alien, ordinary guards couldn't stop him at all. He didn't stop even for a single step from the long street until he broke into Zheng Kuangfu's private residence.

Suddenly, a water dragon hit him in the chest.

Water splashed everywhere, quickly soaking the flaming wings on his shoulders.

"Take it!"

With this loud shout, the guards of the prime minister's residence, who had been defeated and retreated step by step, lined up again, boosted their morale, and surrounded Gu Jingnian.

Standing behind these guards was an ordinary man with his hands raised high, dragging another water dragon in the air.

The water dragon rose from the pool at the back of the courtyard and, under the man's command, hit Gu Jingnian again, knocking him to the ground.

The guards rushed down and held Gu Jingnian down.

They also knew him very well and shouted, "Swords and knives can't hurt him, hold him down first!"

According to the strategy of Guan Lao Jingnian, he would force his way in, with Lu Yanning's support. It would be great if he could capture Zheng Kuangfu directly. If that didn't work, he could force Zheng Kuangfu to move, and Pei Nian could use it as a backup to capture him.

Things were not going well at the moment, so Lu Yanning rushed over.

A single sword flew around, knocking down several people in an instant and helping Gu Jingnian up.

The two men cooperated, one rushed forward using his body as a shield, and the other relied on his powerful force to defeat the enemy and kill his way into the private residence.

"Shoot Lu Yanning!"

The guards reacted quickly, shooting arrows continuously.

Gu Jingnian intentionally blocked the arrows for Lu Yanning. He could feel that the arrows were quenched with anesthetics. The more arrows hit him, the more tired he felt. He would not die from the injuries anyway, so he hoped that Lu Yanning could find a chance to capture Zheng Kuangfu.

Finally, they rushed to the lobby, and Zheng Kuangfu, who was sitting there, was only ten steps away from them.

But at this critical moment, Lu Yanning suddenly stopped, stood there staggering, and inexplicably vomited blood.

"Brother-in-law?"

Gu Jingnian had already run a few more steps before he realized that Lu Yanning had fallen behind.

Turning around, he saw arrows flying all over the sky, turning Lu Yanning into a hedgehog. He fell to the ground, covered in blood.

"Brother-in-law?!"

In order to save Gu Caiwei, they came with the determination to die. They would rather die here, but they didn't expect that at the most hopeful moment, they would fail.

Because Lu Yanning didn't get up, he looked like he was dead.

--------

Zheng Kuangfu was still sitting there.

When he saw Gu Jingnian and Lu Yanning actually coming to kill him, he thought about retreating. Fortunately, they could only kill him.

No matter how ferocious a lone wolf is, it can never defeat the hunters.

"Individual abilities are limited, so one must learn to take advantage of situations." This is the truth that Zheng Kuangfu told his classmates many times when they formed the society.

Now, he has captured the lone wolf again.

It doesn’t matter that Lu Yanning is dead. Gu Jingnian is still making a final resistance, but it is obvious that he can’t hold on for much longer.

A ray of morning light appeared on the horizon, and the night was about to pass, ending with his victory.

"Master, it's done."

Xu Yuanqi leaned over and said, smiling, "Master can accomplish anything."

Zheng Kuangfu rarely failed in what he wanted to do in his life.

But then, he was suddenly stunned and his face froze, because he seemed to have accomplished something else.

Lu Yanning, who was lying on the ground, suddenly moved. All the dense arrows on his body fell off. It was visibly that his muscles were getting bigger and bigger, as if they were about to explode.

His bones were apparently changing as well, making a creaking sound.

"what is this?"

The guards around were shocked and took two steps back, horrified by the strange situation before them.

Only Zheng Kuangfu knew what was going on.

The monkey is about to be refined.

Lu Yanning is indeed a great general, and perhaps he will be the first real monkey they have trained.

However, even Zheng Kuangfu was not sure about the strength of this monkey, and the bigger problem was... at this moment, Xia Juqi seemed to have to use the blood of the monkey's closest relatives to refine medicine in order to make the monkey obey his orders.

But Xia Juqi was not here, but in the prime minister's residence.

"Go, go find Xia Juqi quickly."

Zheng Kuangfu gave an order, and seeing that Lu Yanning was still changing, not knowing what would happen, he stood up, took a few steps back, and stood in the hall to watch.

Suddenly, Lu Yanning stood up, without any movement of bending his knees or supporting himself with his hands. He just stood straight, his neck twisted at a strange angle, and his pair of red eyes were lifeless.

"Brother-in-law? Brother-in-law?"

Gu Jingnian called out several times, but Lu Yanning did not respond, as if he had completely lost consciousness.

Then there was a sudden roar and he felt a ringing in his ears.

"Oh!"

Lu Yanning's skin exploded all over his body and hit the guards around him, causing them to fall to the ground and scream in pain.

Pieces of hard shells like tortoise shells grew out of his body, covering his entire body.

Finally, his face turned hard and black, no longer looking like a human, but like a strange beast.

"Brother-in-law?"

Gu Jingnian tried to wake Lu Yanning up again, but when he stepped forward, he was knocked away by a punch and vomited a mouthful of blood. It seemed as if his internal organs were shattered. In addition, the anesthetic in his body had not yet worn off, so he could not stand up for a while.

Lu Yanning obviously didn't recognize him anymore and began to attack everyone around him like crazy.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang..."

No one could withstand the power of his punch, and the guards tried to hurt him with swords, spears, and halberds, but they could not hurt him at all by chopping on the tortoise shell.

In the main hall, Zheng Kuangfu looked pleasantly surprised and murmured, "Strong, stronger than I expected."

He was really satisfied, because refining the monkey did not require a large number of lives, and it was entirely possible to train a powerful army. By then, his ambition to unify Zhongzhou would soon be achieved, and it would become a great cause that would be passed down through the ages, making his years of hard work worthwhile.

Just as his heart was pounding with excitement, the next moment, Zheng Kuangfu suddenly shuddered.

He and Lu Yanning looked at each other.

Then, a hint of hatred emerged in those wild and crazy red eyes.

Lu Yanning, who had already lost consciousness, seemed to remember something, tilted his head, and suddenly pounced on Zheng Kuangfu.

"Stop him!"

Zheng Kuangfu was shocked.

He succeeded in so many things in his life, but too much success eventually put him in danger.
