White Jade Tiger

Chapter 38

Volume [-] Journey to Tiger Mountain

Chapter 1 into the tiger's mouth
April [-], sunny.

April in the Central Plains is just like March in the south of the Yangtze River, when the warblers fly and the grass grows. It is the time when spring is at its brightest and most intense. It is a pity that this
It's time for spring to pass.

When the sunset is the most beautiful, it is always near dusk.

There are many things like this in the world, especially some particularly brilliant and beautiful things.

So you don't have to be sad, and you don't have to regret it. Even if you go to the rivers and lakes to catch up with the spring, you don't have to keep it.

Because this is life, some things you can't keep.

You must learn to endure its ruthlessness before you can enjoy its tenderness.

The car windows were open, and the spring breeze blew in through the curtains, bringing the fragrance of the distant mountains into the car.

Tang Yu leaned in the carriage, and the spring breeze just hit his face.

He was in a good mood, radiant, and really looked more womanly than most.

The wind blew down the curtains, and one could just see Zhao Wuji riding a horse and following beside the car.

They were already on their way, and if he was happy, Zhao Wuji would be dead by now.

In the past four or five days, he has had at least ten chances to strike, and even now is a very good chance.

Looking from the car window, Zhao Wuji was like a living target, from the back of the head, to the back of the waist, from the large blood vessels at the back of the neck,
From the joints under the spine, every place is within the power range of his hidden weapon. As long as he makes a move, he can hit wherever he wants to hit.
where.

He didn't make a move, just because he wasn't quite sure yet.

Zhao Wuji is not only high in martial arts, quick in response, but also not stupid. To deal with this kind of person, he must not be negligent, let alone

Make a mistake.

Because, this kind of person will never give you a second chance.

So you must wait until you are absolutely sure that you can hit with one blow before you make a move.

Tang Yu was in no hurry.

He believed that this kind of opportunity would appear at any time, and he also believed that he would never miss it.

□□□

He did not underestimate Zhao Wuji.

After passing through the lion forest and Hua Yuexuan, of course he could see what kind of character Zhao Wuji was.

Of course he will not underestimate himself.

This time his plan went so smoothly, it seems that he had this opportunity because of his good luck

It was a coincidence that Zhao Wuji threw himself into the trap.

But he doesn't think he's done it by luck.

He believes that the meaning of "good luck" is nothing more than "being able to grasp the opportunity".

A person who can grasp the opportunity must be a person with good luck.

He really didn't miss a chance.

Hua Yuexuan's operation had already failed, and it failed miserably.

But he immediately seized the opportunity and betrayed Hu Laizi, so he had the opportunity to make friends with Zhao Wuji, so that Zhao Wuji

Avoid trusting him and be willing to make friends with him.

For him, betraying a person is simply easier than eating a piece of tofu. Whether he can seize that opportunity is the most important thing.

need.

As long as he could seize that opportunity, he would even betray his father.

Because that really is the difference between success and failure.

He believed that no one would suspect that he was with Hu Liezi that day, and no one would think that he was Tang Yu.

If anyone insists on thinking it's luck, it's luck of his own making.

He is very happy with himself.

The horse Wuji rode was, of course, a good one out of a thousand.

The meaning of choosing one out of a thousand means that you can only choose such a horse from a thousand horses.

The stables in Dafengtang are the same as brothels in most cities, and they are divided into three classes of 'upper, middle and lower'.

Women in high-end brothels are definitely not something ordinary people can "ride".

The same goes for the horses in the fine stables.

If the disciples of Dafengtang didn't have extremely important and dangerous missions, they would never have been able to ride the horses in the "stable"
Mowgli is no ordinary person.

Wuji is the only son of Zhao Jian and Zhao Erye, the founder and pillar of Dafengtang.

If there was no Second Master Zhao, the Dafengtang might have collapsed long ago, and if there was no Second Master Zhao, there might not be a Dafengtang at all.

Wuji may not know how to choose friends, but he has always studied horses and has a good eye.

He chooses a horse even more pickily than a shrewd client chooses a whore.

He chose this horse from a one-in-a-thousand selection of 32 horses.

Tang Yu could also tell that this was a good horse, but he was not interested in this horse.

He seemed interested in the horse's leather saddle.

It is made of high-quality calfskin, and the handwork is also very elegant and exquisite. The stitches are very dense.

It's hard to see that there are needle holes on it.

But no matter what kind of saddle must be sewed with leather thread, and then waxed on the stitches, smoothed and polished, so that people can't see it.
Get out the stitches and eyelets on the top.

Tang Yu looked at Zhao Wuji riding on the saddle, and suddenly thought of a very interesting thing.

—if the cobbler who made this saddle ever accidentally broke a needle while hemming it.

—if he is careless and fails to take the broken needle point out of the stitch, he begins to wax and polish, and puts the half

The tip of the needle also went into the eye of the needle, so it was invisible.

——If the half of the needle point suddenly emerges from the stitch one day.

—if someone happens to be sitting in this saddle at this moment.

——If it happens to be late spring at this time, the clothes and pants will not be too thick.

——Then when the tip of this half of the needle came out, it would pierce his pants and pierce his flesh.

——Being pricked by the tip of a needle is not a serious matter. He may not even feel pain, even if he feels a little
Pain, and never mind.

——But if the tip of this half of the needle happens to be poisonous, and it happens to be the unique poison of the Tang family, then the riding

People on the saddle, after walking for a while, will feel that the place where the needle has been pricked will start to itch, and they will not be able to resist scratching.
Grasp.

—if he grabs it, after two or three hundred paces, the unfortunate man will inexplicably jump from his horse.
He fell down and died on the road for no apparent reason.

——If, this unlucky person is Zhao Wuji...

Tang Yu smiled.

These "ifs" are not impossible. Even if the cobbler's needle is not broken, Tang Yu can break it for him.
Root, that is by no means too difficult a thing.

Tang Yu couldn't help laughing, because he thought the idea was really interesting.

Wuji suddenly turned his head, looked at him, and said, "What are you laughing at?"

Tang Yu said: "I remembered a joke." '

Wuji said, "What joke?"

Tang Yu said: "It's an idiot's joke." '

Wuji said, "Can you tell me the story?"

Tang Yu said: "No!"

Wuji said, "Why?"

Tang Yudao: "Because this joke is so funny, when I told it to someone last time, that person laughed so hard that his stomach was full."

Laughing made a big hole, a big, big hole. '

Wuji also laughed: "Is there really someone who can burst their stomachs laughing?"

Tang Yu said: "Only people like him can do it." '

Wuji asked, "What kind of person is he?"

Tang Yu said: "He is also an idiot." '

He added: "Only idiots like to hear idiot's jokes, and only idiots like to tell idiot's jokes." '

□□□

Tang Yu was still laughing, but Wuji couldn't laugh.

An idiot, listening to another idiot say 'a idiot's joke'.

This incident was meant to be a joke.

But when you think about it, the joke isn't so funny.Because the joke is not only full of

Ironic, but also full of pathos.

A common human tragedy.

A helpless sadness.

If you think about it carefully, not only can you not laugh, you may not even be able to cry.

□□□

Wuji said: "This is not a joke." '

Tang Yu said: "It wasn't originally." '

Wuji said, "I still want to hear your joke." '

Tang Yu said: "Okay, let me say." '

He thought for a while before speaking.

'Once upon a time there was a fool who took a beautifully dressed girl to the street, and the girl suddenly fell down.

, fell on all fours. '

Wuji said, "What about the next one?"

Tang Yu said: "There is nothing below." '

Wuji said, "Is this your joke?"

Tang Yu said: "Yes." '

Wuji said: "This joke is not funny." '

Tang Yu said: "If you really see a beautifully dressed big girl walking on the street with a fool

On the road, the idiot didn't fall, but the big girl fell, don't you think it's funny?"

Wuji said: "If I really saw it, I would also find it funny." '

Tang Yudao: "My jokes are always like this. Although it sounds nothing funny, if someone really puts this

It's funny when you make a joke. '

He has already started to laugh, and laughed happily: "At that time, your stomach may also be laughed out of a hole, maybe it's just
It's just a small hole. '

Wuji said, "Whether it's a big hole or a small hole, it's always a hole." '

Tang Yu said: "It's absolutely correct. '

night.

On the road today, the conversation with Zhao Wuji about "a joke" still makes Tang Yu feel very uncomfortable.

joy.

After a cat catches a mouse, it will not swallow it immediately.

Tang Yu resembles a cat in many ways, Zhao Wuji has fallen into his grasp like a mouse, and he doesn't

Might as well tease the mouse enough before swallowing it.

This is his greatest pleasure.

□□□

This is a very good inn. The doors and windows of each room are tightly sealed, and there are absolutely no holes in the window paper.

Zhao Wuji in the next room had not made a sound for a long time, as if he had fallen asleep.

Tang Yu sat down, pulled out a gold hairpin from her head, and took out an embroidered purse from her small pocket.

Now he is still wearing a red dress and pretending to be a woman. These two things are what every big girl always wears.

There's nothing suspicious about it either.

But every night, in the dead of night, he would take out these two things and check them carefully, even more than watching them.
A miser should be careful when he settles accounts.

Every time he has to close the doors and windows, wash his hands with warm water, and then dry his hands with a clean white cloth.

Then he would sit under the lamp, pull out the gold hairpin, pinch the head of the hairpin with two long and nimble fingers, and turn it gently

.It turns out that the nobile hairpin is hollow, and it is filled with fine sand like gold powder. It is the Tang family's famous soul-breaking sand, which is as fine as powder.
At the end, the weight is very heavy.

The smaller the hidden weapon is, the harder it is to dodge, and the heavier it is, the farther it can hit.

What he used was undoubtedly the best of the hidden weapons of the Tang Sect.

The head of the hairpin is also empty, and inside is a colorless and transparent oily wax that dries when exposed to the wind.

He only needs to crush the hairpin head, and the oily wax will flow to his hands to protect his hands.

He never liked to put the hidden weapon in the leather bag like a living sign like his brothers, showing off his might
Hanging it on their bodies, as if they were afraid that others would not know that they were children of the Tang family.

He also doesn't like to use those thick and stupid deerskin gloves. He thinks that wearing gloves to conceal a weapon is like touching a woman with gloves on.
Like people, not only is it less sensitive, but also extremely boring.He would never do such a thing.

□□□

The purse contained a ball of thread and a bag of needles, two 'Auspicious Ruyi' gold zippers and a transparent shiny stone.

The thread is made of Siamese black gold. It is extremely thin and tough. It can not only strangle a person's neck at any time, but also hang it.

affordable
A person, if he is trapped on a cliff, he can use this thread to hang down, and this thread will never break.transparent stone

, is a precious gemstone called 'diamond', which is said to be more precious than the purest Hanyu, and even the least greedy people can buy it

move.

Money can make ghosts turn the millstone, and when necessary, maybe only this stone can save his life.

It's a pity that there are not many people negotiating the price. Not everyone can see how expensive this kind of thing is.

So he decided to take two golden scorpions with him for emergency.

He thought of everything, every situation, every detail.

　□□□

The purse was made of satin, with a peony flower embroidered on the front and back with shiny gold thread and sequins.

The flower heart is actually active and can be picked off at any time.

A mysterious and proud smile suddenly appeared on Tang Yu's face. The flower hearts of these two peonies are his most secret and proudest.

hidden weapon.

Not only has no one in the Jianghu seen the power of this hidden weapon with their own eyes, they have never even imagined it in their dreams.

Even if Zhao Wuji can expose his identity, with just these two hidden weapons, he can also make Zhao Wuji shattered to pieces and die without burial.
place.

However, he would never use these two hidden weapons unless absolutely necessary.

Because until now, they have not fully grasped the secret of making this hidden weapon.

The amount of capital they have invested in this kind of hidden weapon is already astonishing, and they even sacrificed the lives of seven or eight experts.
The Tang family's first expert in making hidden weapons almost died tragically because of this.

But until he left Tangjiabao, a total of 38 such hidden weapons were produced, and after inspection, they were guaranteed to be usable.
Yes, less than twenty pieces.

According to their own calculations, the value of each piece is definitely more than a thousand gold.

Fortunately, they have gradually grasped the performance of this hidden weapon and can control it, and the manufacturing technology is gradually improving.

When they are able to manufacture such hidden weapons in large quantities, the Gale Hall will be completely destroyed.

He is absolutely confident of that.

□□□

Now Tang Yu has checked everything, everything is still intact and good.

When he was satisfied, he applied the melted wax from the candlestick to the tips of the thumb, forefinger, and middle finger of his right hand, and with these three fingers drew a needle from the bag of embroidery needles.

The needle looked no different from an ordinary embroidery needle, but even he dared not touch it.

He must first seal the pores of the skin with wax, otherwise even if the skin is not broken, the poisonous gas will seep through the pores, and the three fingers must be chopped off.

Since the cobbler who made the saddle didn't leave a needle in the stitches, Tang Yu was determined to help him.

Although this plan is not very ingenious, and it may not be absolutely sure of success, but this plan has one advantage——

Even if he didn't succeed this time, Zhao Wuji would never doubt him.

Because everybody can sneak into that stable in the middle of the night and stick a poisoned needle in the eye of the saddle and seal the eye with wax.

Every enemy of Zhao Wuji can do these things.He had a lot of enemies, how could he doubt his friend? Besides, this 'friend' had helped him by catching an enemy who was about to run away for him.

Tang Yu even made the worst plan.

Even if Zhao Wuji doubted him, he still has good reasons to refute!
'We are together every day. If I want to harm you, I can find opportunities anytime and anywhere. Why should I use this method? This method is not very good. '

This reason is good enough for anyone, Tang Yu is really thoughtful.

Every thing, every situation, every detail, he had thought about carefully, there was only one thing that he didn't think of.

He didn't expect that there was another sheep that must come and be fed into his tiger's mouth.

With a careful plan, it is not difficult to do it.

You travel all over the world, and all the stables in the inn will never be a well-guarded place.

Zhao Wuji's saddle, like other people's saddles, was casually placed in a corner.

For a person like Tang Yu, doing this kind of thing is easier than eating cabbage.

The night is deep.

"Stay overnight before it's too late, and watch the sky early when the rooster crows." Of course, the travelers on the road have already fallen asleep.

When Tang Yu came back from the stables, he still had time to enjoy the late spring night in April.

The moon was almost full, the sky was full of stars, and the night was so beautiful that he seemed to have a bit of poetry in his heart.

A kind of poetry that is completely incompatible with his murderous plan.

But when he walked back to the yard outside his guest room, this bit of poetry turned into murderous intent again!
□□□

There are lights in the room.

When he came out, he had obviously blown out the candles, and he would never neglect such a thing.

Who lit the lamp in his room?
Who would go to his room in the middle of the night?
If this man is his enemy, why light the lamp and put him on his guard?
Is this man his friend?
Here he has only one 'friend', and only this friend knows where he is.

In the middle of the night, why did Zhao Wuji go to his room? Did he already have some doubts about him?
His footsteps did not stop, and he deliberately let the people in the room hear his footsteps.

So he also immediately heard someone in the room say: "It's midnight, where did you go?"

This is not Zhao Wuji's voice.

Tang Yu immediately recognized whose voice it was, but he never expected that this person would come.

No one would have thought that Lian Yilian would come here, let alone that instead of looking for Zhao Wuji, she would come looking for Tang Yu.

But she happened to come, and she happened to be in Tang Yu's room.

Seeing the girl in the red dress walk in, she shook her head, sighed, and said, "In the middle of the night, a big girl still

If you want to run around outside, aren't you afraid that someone will rape you?"

Saying the word 'rape', her face didn't turn red, she was really proud of herself.

Her skin is really thicker and older.

It's a pity that she is still very tender in other places. Not only do I still think that others can't see that she is a woman disguised as a man, and that others can't see that she is a man.
is female?
She still believed that the big girl in the red dress was a big girl.

□□□

Tang Yu smiled.

He laughed like a tiger saw a sheep automatically fed into his tiger's mouth.
