Jiangshan Fengwuzhi

Chapter 105: Breaking the Pot (I)

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

Gu Jingnian heard the series of collisions and looked over, only to see Lu Yanning, like a wild beast, rushing into the lobby.

His martial arts skills were already very strong, and now for some unknown reason something strange had occurred. His armor-like scales made him invulnerable to swords and spears, and his strength was also much greater, and he was filled with murderous aura.

This was completely beyond Zheng Kuangfu's expectations. There was the strange man A Shui who was targeting Gu Jingnian, but for the time being, no one could resist the crazy Lu Yanning.

"Master, go quickly!"

At the critical moment, Xu Yuanqi stepped forward and stood in front of Zheng Kuangfu. Soon, his body was knocked away like a rag bag.

Zheng Kuangfu took the opportunity to hide and escape.

When Lu Yanning turned around, he saw him and threw another punch. Zheng Kuangfu looked back and was shocked.

The next moment, someone picked him up, held his neck and pulled him back. It was Gu Jingnian.

This time, Gu Jingnian broke into Zheng Kuangfu's private residence not to assassinate him, but to hold him hostage to save Gu Caiwei. But now it seems that Lu Yanning has lost his mind and seems to have forgotten about this matter.

Just as Gu Jingnian and Zheng Kuangfu were retreating, Lu Yanning had already caught up with them and punched them again.

"Brother-in-law!"

Gu Jingnian shouted loudly and looked directly into Lu Yanning's red eyes, trying to bring back his sanity.

The two looked at each other.

For a moment, Gu Jingnian suspected that he saw a change in Lu Yanning's eyes.

"Oh!"

He was still knocked out.

The punch was so powerful that it struck Zheng Kuangfu with such force that he vomited blood and his face quickly turned pale.

Lu Yanning was still like a mad beast. Seeing that there were guards in the mansion who wanted to rush up, he pounced on them.

"The truth... is..."

Zheng Kuangfu struggled to hold his body together and wanted to shout for reinforcements, but he was seriously injured.

"Cough cough cough..."

Before he could sit up, Gu Jingnian stood up next to him, elbowed him again, and took out a dagger and put it against his neck.

"Tell your people to stop."

Zheng Kuangfu's eyes, which had excellent vision, had become dull. He looked up at the situation ahead and murmured, "Right now... is it a question of whether my people can stop or not?"

"Let my sister go."

"She is in the Northern Courtyard." Zheng Kuangfu said, "You can take me there, and I will personally order her release."

"it is good."

Gu Jingnian knew that Zheng Kuangfu was planning to lure him to Beiya and use Beiya's experts to deal with him, but in order to save Gu Caiwei, and having already taken the last step, he was not afraid to put himself in danger.

however.

“No need to go!”

A shout suddenly sounded behind Gu Jingnian.

He turned his head and saw a woman appearing out of nowhere. She had a serious face and was wearing a scholar's robe. It was the teacher of Chongjing Academy, Long Minzhi.

Gu Jingnian can be considered as a disciple of Long Minzhi. He used to study at Chongjing Academy and often listened to her lectures.

But today when the master and disciple met, not only did he not perform the etiquette of a disciple, but his eyes were alert.

"Cage owner."

"You don't call me sir, but cage owner." Long Minzhi sighed, "It seems that you know everything."

Gu Jingnian put the knife on Zheng Kuangfu's neck, took two steps back, and said, "Hand over my sister and her child, or I will kill him."

"can."

Long Minzhi answered straightforwardly, "But I also have a condition. You hand over Yingyao."

Now, Gu Jingnian is certainly also a very good medicinal material, but in comparison, Ying Yao is obviously a better choice.

"I don't know where she went."

"You know." Long Minzhi said, "You instigated Feng Niang to take her away, didn't you?"

Gu Jingnian asked: "Don't you have the ability to go to Yong State to find someone?"

Zheng Kuangfu was being held hostage, and after listening to their conversation, he actually asked a question.

"Didn't Gu Beiming contact you before his rebellion?"

They were talking about Ying Yao, but he asked Gu Beiming why?
Gu Jingnian therefore guessed that they suspected Ying Yao had fallen into Gu Beiming's hands after arriving in Yong State.

Or, is Gu Beiming's rebellion also related to Ying Yao?
Gu Jingnian did not tell the truth and asked, "So what if there is? So what if there is not?"

Long Minzhi and Zheng Kuangfu were silent for a moment, obviously very concerned about this matter. Gu Beiming also knew a lot about the way of alchemy. If the phoenix was really used to refine something in Yong State, it would be the worst news.

Finally, seeing that they were in a stalemate, Zheng Kuangfu was worried that the situation would be unfavorable to him, so he said: "I can make the decision to release Gu Caiwei and her daughter. I have the final say on these matters. You don't have to take me to the Northern Yamen to pay tribute."

Then he turned to Long Minzhi and said, "Please pass on a message and ask them to bring the person over and hand him over to Gu Jingnian."

Long Minzhi asked, "Brother, do you think your life is more precious than the Phoenix bloodline?"

Zheng Kuangfu's face turned serious, and he said solemnly: "I am in charge of the important matter! I can catch the Phoenix that escaped to Yong State. What's the point of you just focusing on the Gu siblings?!"

Seeing that Long Minzhi did not respond, he slowed down his tone and said, "Don't worry, I have arrangements."

"Well."

Long Minzhi then raised her hand, and a bird flew over from a distant branch. After hearing her whisper a few words, it flapped its wings and flew away.

Afterwards, she said calmly, "Wait."

Gu Jingnian noticed that Zheng Kuangfu was staring intently at a wall in the street, so he pushed the dagger deeper into his chest.

"What are you looking at?"

"Nothing." After a while, a team of guards from the prime minister's residence arrived. Among them was an ugly man who walked hurriedly. It was Xia Juqi. He rushed straight to where Lu Yanning was.

Seeing that Lu Yanning was still mad and killing people uncontrollably, Xia Juqi took out an object like a bull horn and blew it, making a low sound like the whimpering of a wild beast.

Gradually, Lu Yanning was no longer so irritable. He let out an unwilling roar from his throat and slowly stopped his movements.

"Don't touch him!"

Xia Juqi shouted and looked at Lu Yanning as if he were a treasure. He stopped blowing the horn and murmured in a low voice, "Good beast, be obedient and calm down."

Slowly, he walked over and stretched out his hand, caressing Lu Yanning, who no longer looked like a normal person, and said happily: "It's almost done, there is only one last step... It needs the blood of his closest relative."

Over there, Gu Jingnian was watching this scene with a frown on his face. He was about to ask Zheng Kuangfu a question when he suddenly noticed that Zheng Kuangfu's eyes were fixed on another wall, and he was obviously looking at something seriously.

"what are you going to do?!"

Gu Jingnian realized that something was wrong, so he took Zheng Kuangfu and retreated in another direction, blowing a whistle at the same time.

As soon as Zheng Kuangfu heard it, he knew he was giving a signal and immediately turned around to look.

In the direction where Gu Jingnian was about to retreat, across several walls, Pei Nian was pouring kerosene in the kitchen of his private residence.

Almost subconsciously, Zheng Kuangfu immediately looked at A Shui again, thinking about how to remind A Shui to put out the fire as soon as possible.

Suddenly, a team of guards rushed over silently from the side and went straight to Gu Jingnian, intending to rescue Zheng Kuangfu.

"Dare you lie to me?"

Gu Jingnian was furious and was about to stab Zheng Kuangfu with the dagger.

Suddenly, the dagger disappeared.

Among the group of people rushing towards them, a middle-aged man raised his hand and actually took the dagger from Gu Jingnian's hand using telekinesis.

"Protect the Prime Minister!"

Seeing that Gu Jingnian had lost his weapon, the guards immediately rushed to rescue Zheng Kuangfu.

"what!"

A very miserable cry was heard.

Gu Jingnian actually used his fingers to dig out one of Zheng Kuangfu's eyeballs.

"If they dare to come, you can lose your other eye!"

"do not come!"

Half of Zheng Kuangfu's eye was bleeding and he screamed loudly.

But he obviously had no intention of making a deal with Gu Jingnian from the beginning. More and more guards surrounded him, and more and more people in black landed on the roof... The pursuers who had been searching for Gu Jingnian all night finally arrived.

Things have come to this, even if Zheng Kuangfu really wants to release Gu Caiwei, I am afraid he may not be able to do it.

At the same time, a fire broke out in the kitchen at the back, and Gu Jingnian rushed over there.

Countless people rushed towards him, trying to snatch Zheng Kuangfu from his hands and hold him down, but he was like a madman, dragging them closer to the fire little by little.

As the flames burned, some people gradually became afraid and loosened their hands or reduced their strength. Only then was Gu Jingnian able to stretch out his hand and touch the fire with his fingers.

The people behind him were roasted to death.

The flames reflected his face, but he did not feel the slightest discomfort. All he could hear was the rhythmic beating of his heart.

Several iron spikes nailed up his body and were connected to iron chains, dragging him with great force.

The moment he was closest to the fire, his right hand finally touched the flame.

However, this is the right hand.

Unlike Yingyao, his heart was in the middle. It seemed that this was the reason why he could not swing his right wing.

So he was pulled back little by little.

It seemed that all resistance had ended in failure. He could not save Gu Caiwei, and as medicinal materials and dregs, he could not break the furnace.

There is a strong sense of unwillingness and persistence in my heart.

Gu Jingnian finally roared in anger.

The sound seemed to be able to penetrate the sky.

He clenched his right hand tightly, as if he was holding a ball of fire.

The flames burned along his blood and burned through his entire body. The fire rose up from his body and took the shape of two wings.

This time, it was a pair of wings.

"call--"

Gu Jingnian flapped his flaming wings and finally flew up.

Although he was still clumsy, he staggered and finally rose up.

The iron chain tied to him was like the string of a kite, trying to pull him down.

He then swung two fireballs, knocking down those who were pulling the chains, pulled out the iron spikes nailed to his body, and felt freedom in the air.

The next moment, a water dragon rushed towards him.

This time, he did not let the water dragon hit him. He flew high up, glanced down from above, and swung out a fireball, hitting Ah Shui who was still holding the fire dragon.

"Oh!"

The water dragon shattered under Gu Jingnian's feet and turned into water splashes all over the sky.

Gu Jingnian swayed in the air unskillfully, then swooped down towards Zheng Kuangfu, who had just escaped, grabbed him, and lifted him high into the sky.

"I, I have already promised you." Zheng Kuangfu said, "Are you going to save your sister?"

"Do you expect to discuss this with you?"

Gu Jingnian said casually, and directly dug out Zheng Kuangfu's other eyeball. He flew high into the sky with a scream, overlooking the city of Jing.

He saw the dark clouds coming from afar, saw power and greed, and knew that even if he compromised, he might still fail, so it was better to just give up.
