Chapter 126

  Zhan Zhao's body was sent back to the official inn where the imperial envoy was staying.

  The sword with a fish intestine handle standing upright at the entrance shocked many people and they didn't dare to believe it.

  "This is Lu Niang's fish intestine sword. Could it be that something has happened to Lu Niang as well?" Wang Chao couldn't help but say out loud.

  Gongsun Ce's expression was solemn as he squatted down to feel Zhang Zhao's pulse.

  Everyone was looking at him, waiting for an answer.

  "Adult——" Gong Sun Ce looks at Bao Zheng.

  Bao Zheng said in a deep voice: "Wang Chao, Ma Chao."

  "Yes, sir."

  There is already an excellent tacit understanding between the master and servant, no need for too much language.

  Wang Chao and Ma Han stood guard outside the door.

  Gongsun Ce said: "This sword was stabbed in from the front, and Zhan Huwei had no defense at all. If my guess is not wrong, this is Lu Niang's hand."

  "What?"

  Everyone was incredulous.

  "How is it possible? How could Sixth Sister possibly lay a hand on Zhan Zhao?"

  "Could it be that Sixth Sister has also been controlled?"

  Gongsun Zhan shook his head, reached out and grasped the sword, pulling it out. Only then did he say: "Such a precise strike, seemingly deadly, yet was off by a hair's breadth, missing by a thousand miles."

  Bao Da Ren's expression changed, "What did Mr. Gong Sun say?"

  Gongsun Ce's face revealed a faint smile, "Miss Lu's medical skills are beyond doubt, she didn't want to kill Zhan Huwei, but rather to save him."

  "Why didn't Xiangyang Wang's men pull out their swords?"

  Gongsun Zhi said: "Because they believe that when we see the sword, we will know who is behind it, and this sword is the key to the discord between Kaifeng and the five righteous men of Trap Island."

  Everyone understands, even if they die, they must let them be disunited internally.

  So they wouldn't give Xiangyang Wang any face either, and it would be a complete break.

  Even Beixiaoyong Yang Chun inserted a pole.

  Of course, Ou Yang Chun is the one responsible for driving away the Five Rats of Trap Island, after all, at this time only he can hold up the scene.

  The news reached Chongxiao Building, and He Lianpeng went to see the woman who was locked in iron chains and couldn't move freely, and also told her this joyful and universal good news.

  After killing her own husband with a single sword, Xiaofeng had been in a state of mind that was hopeless and listless, locked up by iron chains all day long, motionless and completely lost the momentum of the last time she rushed into Chongxialou, which made Ji Gao feel relieved.

  "You can't imagine it, even if Zhan Zhao is dead, he can still be used by me."

  "So what."

  He Lianpeng's smile froze on his face, "Moreover, with you by my side, the five old mice on Trap Island will be hesitant to make a move."

  Lu Xiaofeng finally looked up and gave him a glance, saying: "The idiom 'to hesitate to use an effective weapon against a minor opponent' is used quite well." How fitting.

  He Lianpeng: "......"

  He Lianpeng was stimulated by this situation and walked away with a flick of his sleeve.

  Then, Ji Gao stroked his small goat beard and came over.

  "Aren't you interested in the mechanisms inside Chongxiao Building anymore?"

  Little Phoenix Maiden didn't even bother lifting her head to look at him, "You locked me up like this, isn't it because you're afraid I'll dismantle your Chongxiao Tower?"

  Ji Gao was choked by these words and his chest felt suffocated, he couldn't help but say viciously: "You even killed your own husband, truly a heart of the most venomous woman?"

  Xiao Feng's daughter woodenly replied to him: "Ji Gao, when did you change your sex?"

  "What?"

  Xiao Feng's voice remained flat, "Your heart is already poisonous enough, as you said, I'm sure only a woman's heart would fit."

  "You——"

  "This Chongxiang Building is too easy to break."

  Qi Gao, who had already turned around and was about to leave, stopped in his tracks. "What did you say?"

  Little Phoenix sighed softly, "It would be better to just burn it down directly, my third brother can add some explosives and it will be handled perfectly."

  "Hmph, you're now in our hands, I reckon they wouldn't dare make any rash moves either."

  "I even killed my own husband, do you think I still have a desire to live?"

  "Why didn't you die with your husband at once?"

  "I want to wait until the last moment, watching the magnificent fire of Chongxiang Building rise into the sky, and seeing your proud work destroyed in an instant. I suppose by then, Mr. Ji's expression will be quite interesting."

  "Chong Xiao Lou has what you want, but you won't do it like this."

  "I suppose now my elder brother and his family must have had a falling out with the Kaifeng Prefecture, right?" Little Phoenix's words were like a knife that pierced his heart.

  "Who?"

  "What does Kaifeng Prefecture want with us on this deserted island?"

  "You actually..." It was all planned from the start.

  The little phoenix girl seemed to be admiring the iron chain pattern on her hand, and continued: "Although I'm not very clever, I'm not a fool either. I risked being convicted of murdering my husband, shouldn't I even think about getting some interest?"

  "Chongxiang Building is the place of Xiangyang Wang, no one dares to destroy it."

  "Kaifeng Prefecture's Lord Bao dare not, but the people of Jianghu have always been unrestrained by officialdom. My five elder brothers would be delighted to destroy this accursed place, after all, two of my elder brothers and I were once trapped here, it is a humiliation."

  Ji Gao was so angry that his nose was almost twisted, and finally the vicious words came out: "Without food and water, I'll see if you're still so sharp-tongued."

  Little Phoenix Girl said she was completely stress-free.

  She actually didn't want to waste her breath talking to them either, but since she came over and chatted with them for a bit, it would be unfair to herself if she didn't say a few words.

  Ji Gao wanted to cut off Xiaofeng's food supply, but was stopped by Helian Peng.

  "A person who has made up their mind to die cannot be tortured by you, but will only achieve their own wishes ahead of time."

  Ji Gao decided to let Xiao Feng's life hang in the balance, so he ran to poison without hesitation.

  As a result, Little Phoenix Maiden didn't even lift an eyebrow, picked up the poisoned food in front of him and ate it all down, and after finishing still politely said thank you to him.

  "You're actually thanking me?"

  "Why don't you thank me, I'd rather die, but biting my tongue hurts too much and hitting the wall hurts too much. It's rare that you're willing to poison me, thanks a million."

  Ji Gao was directly blown backwards.

  In the end, he could only secretly put the antidote into her water again.

  Then Ji Gao was ridiculed by King Helian Peng of Da Xia without mercy because of this matter.

  But outside in the White Jade Hall, some people couldn't help but think of rushing to the Chuangxiao Building to rescue others.

  Lu Fang reminded him: "Sixth Sister said, you are the only one who cannot go to Chongxiao Building."

  Jiang Ping added fuel to the fire, "She even used such ruthless tactics on Zhan Zhao, you should think thrice."

  Xu Qing said: "Lao Wu, it's not that San Ge wants to remind you, but actually, you were trapped last time, and this time will probably be the same result."

  "Old Five, stop messing around. You don't have the kind of good fortune that makes even heaven jealous like Liu Mei does. Just be content with what you have."

  Bai Yutang: "......" This feeling is really too suffocating.

  As for Xiao He and Yan Dong, they were also with Wu Zhi. However, they generally did not participate in the discussion.

  Adding insult to injury, it's almost enough; the fur of a golden hamster is still easy to blow up.

  The little phoenix girl locked in the Xiangxiang Building was still shrouded in a large area of dark clouds every day, and only had three meals a day that never fell.

  This phenomenon made Ji Gao both blacklisted and blacklisted again.

  "Mrs. Zhan."

  Right above the mushroom cloud curse pit father drama, Little Phoenix Maiden heard someone calling something during meal time and barely spared a glance.

  "Put this thing away properly."

  Watching that little rascal-like child pull out a cloth-wrapped object from his bosom and hand it over to her.

  Little Phoenix Maiden quickly finished her meal and continued on with an expressionless face, pushing against the mushroom clouds.

  This made the young man who had thought this matter would be more troublesome suddenly stunned, and he suddenly doubted what his previous psychological entanglements were for.

  After delivering the goods, I took away the empty bowl left by Xiaofeng's daughter and left.

  The young servant sent the miscellaneous items to the back kitchen and then went to see his master.

  "Has the thing been delivered?"

  "Hmm." But Aihou was puzzled, so he asked honestly, "Why give the things to her?" That's the evidence we got with great difficulty, giving it to someone trapped in Chongxiang Building, what kind of logic is this?

  His master, Heiyou Huo Zhihua, couldn't help but stroke his beard and smile slightly, "You'll understand later."

  "Her state is so weird." She looked like she had lost all interest in life, but not a single meal was reduced, and when given things, she didn't even ask what they were, quickly putting them away. "Could it be that she's been stimulated to the point of madness?"

  "Cough...cough..." Hei Yao Huo Zhi Hua was choked by her own saliva, did she have a seizure? Obviously it was Ji Gao Kuai who had been stimulated to have a seizure by her.

  Actually, A Huo couldn't understand one thing: "Master, she has already killed Zhan Zhao, why do you still believe her?" And yet entrust such an important thing to her.

  The wise eyes of the black fox became somewhat complicated, and after a while, he sighed and said: "Aihou, you're still young and don't understand that sometimes it's because that person is too important to oneself, so even if one is seriously injured and falls into hell, they must protect that person."

  Ai Hu looked bewildered.

  The black fox demon patted his apprentice's head and said with a smile: "Don't think about it, you'll understand when you grow up."

  The most dangerous place is the safest place, after all the hardships and difficulties to steal from Chongxiao Building, it was sent back to Chongxiao Building again. I believe no one would think of getting it. Hei Yao Hu smiled again, stroking his beard.

  However, Little Phoenix in Chongxialou couldn't smile at all.

  She didn't know who the little servant was who delivered things to her, nor did she know what was in the cloth bundle.

  Why did you ask her why she didn't know anything and still picked up things randomly?

  Cut the nonsense, it's obvious there's a story behind this, let's put it away for now and think about the reason later.

  So Little Phoenix Maiden, who was locked in chains, thought carefully under the low air pressure and the mushroom cloud on her head, then she came up with a possibility.

  A good family does not breed its own traitors, and thus is not vulnerable to external enemies.

  Pshaw, this metaphor is not right.

  It should be said that someone may have endured hardships and secretly infiltrated the Xiangyang Wangfu, finally obtaining evidence of the old thief Xiangyang Wang's crimes, but unfortunately had no way to send it out.

  So, the person thought that the most dangerous place was actually the safest place and handed this thing over to her who was trapped in Chongxiang Building.

  I'm going to mow the lawn!

  This is simply a huge gamble.

  What if she's really desperate and mentally unstable? Handing over something so important to someone who might be crazy or a prisoner, isn't that just ridiculous?
