Jiangshan Fengwuzhi

Chapter 37: Medicinal residue (II)

"Boom! Boom!"

With a loud bang, two bodies fell down.

Liu Jikun's martial arts skills were superior to Huang Hu's. Before falling, he flipped over and landed on top of Huang Hu, using him as a cushion.

They smashed through the roof, sending tiles flying everywhere, and cracked the bluestone slabs on the ground.

With such force, Huang Hu's limbs were broken and twisted into strange shapes.

Liu Jikun's internal organs also shook violently and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He stood up with difficulty, grabbed the knife on the ground, and prepared to chop off Huang Hu's head.

"Click."

Huang Hu's hands and feet had recovered, and he punched Liu Jikun hard in the face.

“Bang!

In the past, when he punched someone, his fist would get hurt. But now Huang Hu did not hold back any strength and punched down with a force of a thousand pounds, directly breaking Liu Jikun's cheekbone and knocking out several of his teeth.

Liu Jikun responded by wielding his sword with exquisite skills.

But what is more despairing than not being able to hit the target is that even if you hit the target, it is useless.

"Damn!"

He cursed angrily and slashed twice, forcing Huang Hu to dodge and then limp away.

"Escape? Can you escape? I'll beat you to death with one punch after another."

"Huang Hu, I can help you."

"I just want to mention your head."

"Oh!"

Liu Jikun dodged, was hit by punches, and had a bloody head. Knowing that he was going to be beaten to death, he used his body to push the door open. Finally, he saw his men walking on the long street from a distance.

The place where he fell was only one house away from where he set the trap.

"set fire!"

Liu Jikun shouted without hesitation, then rolled on the ground and rolled over the sewer ditch filled with kerosene.

"Set fire to him and burn him to death!"

"boom!"

The fire shot up into the sky, isolating the yellow tiger.

Liu Jikun was ecstatic. He climbed up in the firelight and shouted to his men to shoot Huang Hu to death with arrows.

"Whoosh!"

A sharp arrow shot out, pierced Liu Jikun's right cheek, came out from his left shoulder, and pierced his neck diagonally.

He was stunned for a moment, and with difficulty raised his head to look at Fengcai Tower across two alleys.

The arrows came from where he had placed his archers.

Before he could see who shot the arrow, he staggered and fell to the ground.

"Tiss!"

The wall of fire burned high and swept towards the theater in an instant.

Thick smoke drifted into the air.

Feng Niang's body was shaking slightly in the air. She was exhausted after spending so much energy tonight.

She was staring at Fengcai Tower with her beautiful eyes, trying to see who was shooting the arrow. She smelled smoke and frowned, looking towards the theater. Just then she saw a stealthy figure rushing out of her attic, holding something in his hand, and running through the chaotic street like a rat.

"Thief."

Feng Niang waved her sleeves, gracefully descended and flew over there.

When she got closer, she recognized the ghostly figure, it was Master Ma, so she sped up and dived.

Suddenly, a figure came flying from the side at a faster speed.

Feng Niang didn't expect that there would be a flying alien tonight. She was caught off guard and wanted to avoid him, but she was too weak and failed to dodge.

"Boom."

The man did not dodge and bumped into her, falling to the ground with a dull thud like a sack falling to the ground.

Feng Niang managed to stop herself from falling, and slowly descended, stepping on the other person.

The hem of her skirt slowly fell, and she looked down to see the face of a handsome young man.

The next moment, Gu Jingnian opened his eyes, and it was like stars lighting up in the dark night.

Feng Niang covered her skirt and walked away from him. When she turned around, Master Ma had disappeared in an instant.

"Cough cough cough."

Gu Jingnian sat up and coughed slightly, as if he was seriously injured.

A hint of suspicion flashed across Feng Niang's eyes, and just as she was about to take action, the young man spoke.

"Manager Feng? You saved me?"

"It's Master Gu." Seeing that he was pretending to be innocent, Feng Niang was willing to play with him and asked, "Why are you here, Master?"

"I was clearing my father's name while investigating a case with Pei Jishi, and I fell from that tall building... I vaguely remember that you were the one who caught me?"

"I am a weak woman, how can I catch you? I just happened to be passing by."

"That's a coincidence." Gu Jingnian said, "I just asked Shopkeeper Feng a few questions. He doesn't want to charge me, right?"

Feng Niang pursed her lips and smiled, and spat, "Are you hurt? You're still joking."

Gu Jingnian turned around and saw that the fire had spread.

"I'm injured. Please help me, Shopkeeper Feng."

"Okay."

Feng Niang's eyes moved slightly. She helped Gu Jingnian up and walked slowly along the alley. She said, "Someone stole my things and is chasing me. Sir, have you seen him?"

"But they are Liu Jikun's people?"

"Maybe." Feng Niang sighed, "These hooks are always harmful to us ordinary people."

She probably guessed something and asked again, "Sir, you followed Pei Jishi to investigate the case. Do you know why Liu Tisi came to cause trouble for me?"

"I heard it was for Viper Heart."

"Snake Heart? What is that?"

"Manager Feng is a spy, how could he not know?"

Feng Niang said angrily, "Master Gu also knows that I am not allowed to visit the Wanchun Palace area."

At this point, the truth is already revealed.

They moved very slowly, far slower than the speed at which the fire spread.

Gu Jingnian could feel the burning sensation on his back, and the bright light around him also made him uncomfortable, so he wanted to speed up his pace.

But his arm was held by Feng Niang.

"Mr. Gu, you are seriously injured. Come closer and I will lend you some strength." Feng Niang said gently, "Let's walk faster." Despite saying this, the two of them walked even slower.

"I have been to Wanchun Palace before." Gu Jingnian said, "Because of this, I was framed by Liu Jikun."

"Oh? What do you mean?"

Gu Jingnian had intended to mislead Feng Niang, but when the topic came to this, he was no longer anxious and said, "If Shopkeeper Feng wants to know, it will cost you ten thousand coins."

"Really annoying."

"Or, exchange intelligence for information?"

"it is good."

Gu Jingnian said: "Liu Jikun suspected that Liu Heng faked his death and escaped and took the snake heart with him."

At this point, his goal of getting close to Feng Niang was finally almost achieved.

The matter started with Vixin and will never end with Liu Jikun's death. Unless the various forces find Vixin, the dispute will sooner or later fall on him, Huang Hu, and Ying Yao.

The best way is to blame everything on the dead Liu Jikun and the faked death Liu Heng.

He led Liu Jikun to attack the caged man not only to solve the temporary problem, but also had a complete plan. Now the only step left was to mislead Feng Niang to suspect that it was Liu Heng who took the snake heart.

Sure enough, there was a gleam in Feng Niang's eyes.

"Why is he so suspicious?"

Gu Jingnian was just about to control her when he suddenly felt danger approaching.

He had no time to react, so he could only say: "I am the only one who knows..."

"Whoosh!"

A sharp arrow pierced through Gu Jingnian, causing his body to fall backwards.

Behind him, the snarling flames quickly devoured him.

In an instant, an unprecedented despair surged in Gu Jingnian's heart. The heat made him afraid, and the wound from the arrow felt numb. The poison in the arrow seemed to be aimed at him, making him feel dizzy.

His eyes darkened.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but in the darkness, he faintly heard a woman sighing.

"So, you are also a drug scum..."

--------

It was raining heavily outside the window, and there was a faint scent of flowers in the house.

The bed was covered with fine linen bedding, and the body of the young man lying on his side was almost perfect, except for a red burn on his back.

A jade-like finger stroked the scar, and the nail stained red by the flower juice scratched the skin.

The wound healed quickly, but the burns remained.

"It won't get better." Feng Niang said slowly, "I think he's very powerful, but he's also afraid of fire."

"I told you, you'll know after you burn it." Mei Chengzong said, "Look, now you know."

"You nearly burned him to death. He may be the only one who saw where Viper Heart went."

"He told a lie, how could it be Liu Heng?"

"Since Gu Jingnian didn't know who 'Liu Heng' was, he was naturally referring to 'him'."

"How could it be him?"

Mei Chengzong frowned as he spoke, turned his waist, propped his chin with his hand, and began to ponder, muttering to himself, "Could it really be him?"

Feng Niang said, "Wanchun Palace doesn't allow birds to approach, I've been suspicious for a long time."

"It's not your turn to teach me how to do things!" Mei Chengzong cursed angrily.

"Yes." Feng Niang said no more.

Mei Chengzong crossed his arms, walked to the bedside, looked at Gu Jingnian, and said to himself: "The one who shot Liu Jikun must be this guy. Although Gu Beiming didn't teach him the magic archery skills, he was able to steal some of the skills from the master. He hid them very well in the past."

"Yes, I will give him a chance to recover. He deserves it."

"Humph, I wanted to keep Liu Jikun alive. If that's the case, I'm afraid this guy did it on purpose. It seems that he has been very scheming during this period of time."

"That?"

"Since he said he was the only one present, could it really have been burned? Try to find out from him again."

Mei Chengzong thought of something and raised his orchid finger, saying, "Since he is determined to investigate Liu Heng who faked his death, it's just right. I will help him."

"Yes." Feng Niang said: "I also suffered a great loss this time..."

"Shut up! Don't try to reach out to me again until you find the Viper Heart."

Mei Chengzong spat in annoyance and turned to leave.

Finally, he thought of something and pointed at Gu Jingnian lying on the bed.

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking of putting someone on your bed. You can't have a child with him without our permission."

"Yes."

Feng Niang agreed, and when she looked up again, Mei Chengzong had already walked away.

She was bored and pushed open the window, but no birds were flying in the rain, so she had to push the door open and go out.

Part of the yard downstairs was burned down, and several people were busy cleaning it up. They looked like ordinary people trying to make a living.

"Shopkeeper."

"Pei Nian is still looking for Gu Jingnian?"

"Yes, we are searching house by house."

"Give her back. She's not the one we're looking for."

"Yes."

The two flamethrowers then went upstairs, carried out Gu Jingnian, and prepared to throw him over the railing.

Seeing this, Feng Niang said, "He is just like us."

"Oh, Gao Changgan, come here."

"it is good."

With a "bang", the table that the tall and thin man was moving fell to the ground. He had already reached Gu Jingnian and took over the boy's body.

Perhaps he was a little tired, so he rested for a long time, and finally blinked hard again, and took Gu Jingnian to the lobby downstairs. He was dazed for a moment, then suddenly had an idea and started yelling to himself.

"Hey, there's a guy here who needs to be handed over."

"Don't worry, you haven't put on your clothes yet."

"Hey, there's a naked person here, we need to hand him over..."

Feng Niang shook her head, went back to her room, curled up on the couch, and closed her eyes tiredly.

A moment before falling asleep, she suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly got up, moved the bed, and opened a secret compartment.

Sure enough, the box she had hidden in the secret compartment disappeared.
