poison king

Chapter 12 (12)
"Father, I have a good idea!" Situ Lan said, if they don't solve it, they won't be able to sleep tonight, so she said: "We can let my sister marry him, but there is one condition, that is, Mu Yanfeng In tomorrow's martial arts conference, you must win the first place and become the leader of the martial arts, so that you will have successors, and your sister will be the wife of the leader of the martial arts, who dares to laugh at her? It would be better if Situ Ao was stupid, from now on Then he can become the puppet of my father and sister, and he is called the young master of Mujiazhuang, but he is actually a dog of our family. Of course, this requires him to win the position of martial arts leader."

After hearing this suggestion, Situ Ao frowned: "Why did you become so vicious, girl! Forget about being a puppet, I only care about your sister's well-being, as long as the Mu family treats your sister well, your brother-in-law will also treat you well." It’s enough to love her, so be it! If he can become the leader of the martial arts, father will allow your marriage. He won't ask his family for a penny. Dad just wants you to live a happy life. If he can prove that he can support you and protect you, dad will let you marry him."

"Father, you are so kind to me." Qingqing didn't know what to say, because what Situ Ao said made sense.

"Silly girl." It's the best for Qingqing to listen.

"But tomorrow is the competition, Mu Mu has no chance of winning at all, she is not even prepared." Qingqing couldn't help worrying about Mu Yanfeng.

"At a critical moment, as long as a person cares about one thing, his potential can be stimulated. If he really likes you, he can win all the opponents in the world for you."

"That's what I said, but Dad, I don't know what to do. Can you give him some martial arts secrets or something? It's instant!"

"It's my martial arts, but he is not a disciple of my sect, no." There are very strict regulations on this.

"Father, you are so stingy! Are there any weapons? He uses a sword."

"Mu Yanfeng's sword is an ancestral one. It's no worse than your father's and mine. Don't think about it. Go to sleep!" Situ Ao sighed, and pulled his wife to go out. Go to where you live.

"Mu Yanfeng's sword is an ancestral one. It's no worse than your father's and mine. Don't think about it. Go to sleep!" Situ Ao sighed, and pulled his wife to go out. Go to where you live.

Qingqing didn't feel sleepy, because it was related to her whole life, she took Mu Yanfeng's hand: "Mu, let's go find Steward Mu."

Mu Yanfeng followed her out foolishly, and met Butler Mu who had been waiting for a long time at the door: "Butler Mu, something has changed, let's go to my residence and discuss it carefully! Anyway, Mu Mu and I are already equals in the eyes of others. The fiancée, it doesn't matter if you go to my house."

"Yes." Seeing her expression, Steward Mu thought that something serious must have happened, otherwise Miss Situ wouldn't be so preoccupied.

The three of them arrived at the courtyard where Qingqing lived. Except for Luanxiu who was waiting at the door, the other maids had already fallen asleep. Luanxiu saw the three of them and said obediently, "Master Mu and Steward Mu want to rest here? Guest room."

"Go! Mu Mu is afraid of the dark. I will take Mu Mu to sleep. You only need to tidy up one room and come out. Serve me a pot of tea first. I am a little tired."

"It's Miss." Luanxiu nodded and backed out.

Qingqing asked Mu Yanfeng to lie down on the chair and rest for a while: "You lie down and rest for a while, I have something to discuss with Steward Mu."

"Daughter-in-law, where are you going?"

"I'm in the house, you can lie down and rest for a while, or go to sleep on the bed inside first, I will come soon." Qingqing said softly.

Mu Yanfeng refused to leave her: "I am here to accompany you."

"Okay then!" Qingqing went inside and took out a thin blanket, covering Mu Yanfeng's body: "Go to sleep for a while, and I'll call you after the meeting is over. I'll be beside you, holding your hand .”

"En!" Mu Yanfeng finally closed his eyes in peace.

Qingqing held his hand and talked with Steward Mu: "Just now my father said that if Mu Mu can become the next martial arts leader tomorrow, let us get married, otherwise he would rather raise me as an old woman for the rest of his life than let me marry Mu Mu, what do you think the odds of winning are?"

"Master Situ should also be doing it for your own good. I am very grateful that you can do this for our young master. If you lose tomorrow, don't feel guilty about Miss Situ. It can only be regarded as a lack of fate. As for the young master's martial arts, I am very grateful I believe there is still hope, as long as the young master can perform exceptionally like today. The young master's sword is still in the temporary mansion, I will go back tonight and deliver the sword tomorrow."

"I hope! Then I will trouble Steward Mu to make this trip."

"It's not hard work. Compared to what Miss Situ did for the young master, what I can do is already very meager." Butler Mu said modestly.

"Here comes the tea." Luanxiu brought the tea over.

Qingqing poured a cup for Butler Mu, and also poured a cup of hot tea for herself,

Butler Mu took two sips, then stood up and said goodbye. After Qingqing closed the door, she wanted to drag him to the bed to rest, but seeing that he seemed to be fast asleep, she couldn't bear to disturb him, so she carefully opened the door one by one. He pointed his finger and wanted to pull back his hand, but he woke up when she moved, and looked at her sleepily: "Daughter-in-law, are you sleepy?"

"Sleepy, let's go to bed and rest." Qingqing picked up the thin quilt covering him, spread it on the bed, and brought another pillow before calling him over: "Come here, I like to roll and I sleep in it, you sleep outside."

###054 Heroes Sit Down
"Sleepy, let's go to bed and rest." Qingqing picked up the thin quilt covering him, spread it on the bed, and brought another pillow before calling him over: "Come here, I like to roll and I sleep in it, you sleep outside."

"Oh." He climbed onto the bed, hugged Qingqing to sleep, and soon fell asleep again...

Martial arts conferences are generally held to elect a new martial arts leader. In the past, Wulin's highly respected seniors were elected, but if everyone disagrees, it can only be decided by martial arts.

In the martial arts conference, Qingqing, who has no kung fu, should not be required to participate, but Mu Yanfeng has become like this. If she doesn't care about him, he will cause trouble if he climbs up. When entering the arena, Situ Ao did not because Mu Yanfeng is his prospective son-in-law, and the arrangement by his side is determined according to the ranking in the martial arts. Among the many martial arts seniors, Mu Yanfeng's ranking is considered very high, although he is in the His achievements in the medical field are many times better than his achievements in Jianghu, but Mujiazhuang is famous!He and his younger brother Mu Yan are both children of the Mu family. Mu Yan is ranked eighth in the martial arts world. Mu Yanfeng's ability to take ninth place probably took advantage of his younger brother. Whoever called him Mu Yanfeng is a member of the Mu family anyway. Zhuang's eldest son is now the well-known Sage King of All Poisons, so people in the world praised him and gave him the ninth place.

But if you really want to fight for it, this false name is useless.

When the heroes were seated, Situ Ao stood up and said to the crowd: "Thank you for coming to this martial arts conference. It is a great honor to be able to hold this conference next time. The five-year deadline for the next martial arts leader is coming today. Please also recommend me A new generation of martial arts leaders will come out and lead everyone forward together."

As soon as he sat down, an old man with yellow hair stood up: "If you want to choose, I will choose you. You are fair and often take care of us juniors. You are really a model of a generation of great masters."

Situ Ao waved his hand, he knew that this was just a high-sounding scene, he would not take it seriously: "Thank you, Mr. Huang, for your kindness, but I am already over fifty, and my body is getting checked gradually. Young man!"

"Then which hero is suitable in the opinion of Master Situ?" A man standing in the corner of the hall asked.

"Each has its own merits, no matter how reckless you are, you can't make a decision. Please discuss it with everyone." Situ Ao is not stupid. Just saying a person's name will offend others, so he doesn't accept it.

A middle-aged man who had been prepared in advance stroked his beard and said: "I think Mr. Xia, the white python son, has a good appearance and excellent martial arts. He is a good candidate. Mr. Xia has always been modest and courteous, and he has a certain amount of advance and retreat. I believe he can Handle all kinds of things in Wulin very well."

The impatient Andi who had been waiting for a long time said arrogantly: "I am not convinced. How can he, a frail scholar, take up such an important task? I think he is more suitable than Xia Houxuan."

The disciples of the Xiahou family behind Xia Houxuan also had something to say: "Although you are strong in martial arts, your whereabouts are often erratic. If there is anything we need, where can we find you? No, no!"

"You Xiahou's family, what credit do you have for repenting your marriage contract?" The subordinates behind Andi were also not convinced.

Xia Houxuan's people said again: "I heard that you lost to Mu Yanfeng, the sage of all poisons, in the martial arts competition yesterday. With your three-legged kung fu, you are still the leader of the martial arts? Go dreaming!"

###055 Fighting for the leader of the martial arts
Xia Houxuan's people said again: "I heard that you lost to Mu Yanfeng, the sage of all poisons, in the martial arts competition yesterday. With your three-legged kung fu, you are still the leader of the martial arts? Go dreaming!"

"Thanks to everyone's love, our young master of the Mu family is above the dark emperor in terms of martial arts." Mu Guanjia said.

Everyone did not expect that the Mu family, who have always been low-key, would be interested in the leader of the martial arts. They were very surprised. One of them said: "Let Wandu Shengjun be the leader of the martial arts, I will be the first to disagree!"

Qingqing looked at that person, he should be a member of the beggar gang, and he should be more than two bags of elders, speaking of some status, Qingqing was dissatisfied: "In your opinion, who is the most suitable?"

"Master Xia is the most suitable." The beggar gang elder said.

Qingqing snorted unceremoniously: "Xia Houxuan is good at writing, this is not a draft talent."

Everyone didn't expect that Situ Qing would suddenly come out to speak for Mu Yanfeng, but think about it, she is now Mu Yanfeng's unmarried wife, how could she speak for Xia Houxuan, and Xia Houxuan's remorse for marriage is well known in the world What she did, she could only do it on a whim.

Xia Houxuan had calculated thousands of times, but she didn't figure out how she would like a fool, and would rather fight him tit for tat for a fool, what an idiot!With such a character, he will suffer in the future in the arena!It's really stupid, he should show the demeanor of a generation of heroes and not let her quarrel, but for some reason, he feels a little sour in his heart. In fact, this woman should have spoken for him, and his divorce must have angered her!

Xia Houxuan didn't seem to take Qingqing's words seriously: "I am indeed lacking in talent and learning, but thanks to the respect of all martial arts seniors, I will also come out to compete. Whoever refuses to accept can come forward to compete."

Qingqing was very smart and didn't let Mu Yanfeng go on stage directly. She waited until the Dark Emperor raised his hand before finally saying to Mu Yanfeng: "Stand up."

Mu Yanfeng stood up, and seeing everyone looking at him, he looked at Qingqing at a loss: "Daughter-in-law, what should I say?"

Qingqing hated iron for being weak, so she stood up and said for him: "My husband-in-law also has the same intention, but he slept too late yesterday and is still a little dizzy, you two should invite him first!"

In this way, no matter who wins or loses, it is beneficial to Mu Mu, because in this way, Mu Yanfeng only needs to deal with one of them.

Qingqing is a woman and the daughter of the former martial arts leader. The two of them suffered such a secret loss.I heard that Mu Yanfeng lost his mind somewhere, and now he is no different from a six or seven-year-old child. Maybe he still has kung fu, but he is afraid that he will lose in a round of tricks, so if there is a real fight, Mu Yanfeng is probably a cannon fodder. , the ones who can really fight are probably Xia Houxuan and Andi.

Situ Ao asked everyone to walk along the small path to a small path behind Tianluo Palace. At the end of that path was a chain bridge, and on the other side of the bridge was the top of another mountain. The strange thing was that the shape of that mountain was extremely steep. There is not even a blade of grass growing, and if unfortunately it rolls down, there is not even a life-saving straw.But this is the rule of the previous martial arts conferences. The martial arts competition must go to the top of this mountain. Standing on the big rock on the top of the mountain that may lose its center of gravity and roll down the mountain at any time to compete. The competition is courage and adventurous spirit.

###056 Clearly a hidden weapon

Situ Ao was lucky. Even though he was the leader of the martial arts four times in a row, he only stepped on the big rock once. There was no support or fixed object under the rock, so it could be said that it could roll up at any time. I went up once, but when I looked at the rock, I felt a little scared. There is a slope under the rock. If it rolls, there will be a cliff below. Falling from such a high place should be hopeless.

Qingqing stood on the edge of the iron chain bridge, her feet began to feel weak, because she found that the bridge was not even paved with wooden planks, if unfortunately she stepped on a brush and fell through the gap in the iron chain, there would be an abyss underneath Well, she doesn't know martial arts, but this is nothing to martial arts masters. These people have seen far away. They have seen chain bridges that are more terrifying than this. They have seen only two iron chains.

Fortunately, Qingqing and the others don't need to go there, only the contestants need to go there, Andi walked past easily, he always thought that he was just a flamboyant person, so he was not afraid: "Brother Xiahou, please!"

"Please!" Xia Houxuan flew over with a few steps of lightness kung fu.

When the two of them stood still on the rock, Situ Ao shouted from across the mountain: "Have you two put life and death aside? Whether you win or lose, you can take responsibility for life and death yourself?"

"Yes." The two nodded.

"Let's get started!" After Situ Ao finished speaking, the two who were separated by the chain bridge started fighting.

I saw Xia Houxuan leaping onto the oval-shaped boulder. The Dark Emperor is not a hero. He is always good at playing insidious tricks. He didn't use them yesterday because he wholeheartedly wanted to fight Mu Yanfeng. People didn't use weapons yesterday, but today is different. Today's battle is related to his future and the fate of the dark palace. He himself will apply all the things he has learned all his life without reservation. He is secretly good at two-finger knives. The blade of the weapon is extremely short, and can be sandwiched between two fingers. It is said to be a two-fingered knife, but it is more appropriate to say that it is a piece of iron as thin as a cicada's wing. The weapon is only one and a half fingers long, but it can be shot at the enemy. It was said that it was made of thousand-year-old black iron, it was extremely sharp, and because of the poison, his throat was sealed with blood, so he picked up a piece and flew towards Xia Houxuan.

Xia Houxuan had heard about the power of the two-finger sword a long time ago. There was very little room to stand on the rock, and the two of them were so close together that it was too late to retreat. He could only take the move and block it with the long sword in his left hand. When encountering a short knife, the two-phase blade is not light, and there is an ear-piercing sound of hanging and rubbing.

Xia Houxuan was not stupid, before he could strike the saber again, he used his sword to block back forcefully, and the two-finger saber flew towards the direction of the dark emperor, the dark emperor was very familiar with his weapons, so he used his bare hands I was able to catch it, and pinched it with two fingers, and it was unscathed.

Xia Houxuan's long sword stabbed at the dark emperor, bringing up a very strong sword energy, using the family-inherited swordsmanship, one-hearted swordsmanship, and slashed at the dark emperor's chest with a slanted sword.

The Andi spread his hands in a line with his toes pointing like a big vulture, and moved back three feet flexibly, finally landed on the edge of the stone, still touching the stone with his toes, not daring to stand on it with both feet, fearing that the stone would be affected by the center of gravity. Something happened to the instability, there were four more two-finger knives in his hand at some time, and five two-finger knives shot at Xia Houxuan at the same time.

Xia Houxuan cursed in his heart, this is not a weapon, it is obviously a hidden weapon.

###057 Master's Trick
Xia Houxuan cursed in his heart, this is not a weapon, it is obviously a hidden weapon.
