Furthermore, it would be fine if it were just the Jinxianyinhua couple, but after Huangfu Zhong arrived, he saw more than just the two decent people in Qinghe County; there must be some unspeakable secret.
"Xiahou Qing, what methods did he use to drive so many famous and righteous people to work for him? Could it be that he has some leverage over us..."
Thinking of this, Huangfu Zhong sighed softly and took out the poison he had prepared earlier in the morning from his sleeve. It seemed that now was not the time for him to apologize. While Xiahou Qing was away, perhaps he could find some clues that could help.
...After Jinxianyinhua and his wife confirmed that Huangfu Zhong and the poisonous insect were safe, they asked the people from Tianshu Tower to inform Xiahou Chun about this.
The subordinate bowed his head and said, "Sir, Lin Feng has been released and will be here soon. There is also news from Huangfu Zhong that everything is fine."
Xiahou Jun clapped his hands and immediately ordered, "That's good. Come on, bring the tables and chairs over to me. We can just watch the show here for a while."
While Xiahou Chun laid a tight net, awaiting Lin Feng's arrival, Huangfu Ning was still atop Yanhui Pagoda, studying the deceptive mechanism Zhou Weiyong had just used. However, after all, understanding was still understanding, and Huangfu Ning fiddled with it for a while, unable to find the key to activating the mechanism. "Strange! I saw him pressing these buttons just now, but why is there no response?"
Watching the people gathered below the tower suddenly make way for a passage, Huangfu Ning said, "Forget it, let's not do it. Before I figure out the trick, I'm afraid I'll be turned into a sieve before these people. How embarrassing."
At the same time as Lin Feng arrived, the archers dispatched from the government office were all deployed, waiting only for Xiahou Jun's order to shoot the uninvited guests on the Yanhui Tower into a sieve. "Sir, the archers are all ready."
Xiahou Jun arranged, "Pass the word down. The archers will stand by and wait for my command after the thief leaves Yanhui Tower. Today, I will capture this reckless man alive."
"yes."
At Xiahou Jun's command, the Spider-Men, who had been waiting on the Yanhui Tower since early morning, rushed up the tower in a flash. Huangfu Ning was also witnessing this scene for the first time, and he couldn't help but sigh, "Wow, worthy of being the Tianshu Tower. They can even climb walls like spiders. I want to see if the Tianshu Tower takes me seriously."
However, these Spider-Men were only interesting to watch. Before Huangfu Ning could even use his real skills, the Spider-Men who had just climbed up fell down like dumplings: "Tsk tsk tsk, I can't help but hit them, I can't help but hit them."
As he spoke, Huangfu Ning stood on the railing, jumped up, and landed steadily on the open space not far in front of Xiahou Jun.
Xiahou Jun crossed his legs and raised his eyebrows, saying, "I thought he was some powerful character, but I didn't expect him to be just an old uncle."
Huangfu Ning stroked his chin, which had been neatly groomed today, and remarked, "This man must be Xiahou Jun. He's quite young, but why are his eyesight a little off?" While he was indeed an uncle, his appearance didn't seem much different from his age at first glance. "Young man, speak with some respect. What do you mean by 'uncle'? Can't you see I'm in my prime?"
Xiahou Chun said, "Although you're old, you're quite eloquent. Uncle, who sent you here? You dared to challenge the status of Tianshu Tower in Qinghe County all by yourself. You must be someone powerful."
Huangfu Ning threw his head back and laughed loudly twice, then said, "The younger ones at home all call me uncle, but I wonder if this is considered a great honor."
Seeing this man laughing and joking with him, seemingly completely unaware that he would be beheaded at the drop of a hat, Xiahou Jun stood up, slapping the armrest in anger. "Hmph, I'm not kidding. Looking at you like this, if you answer me properly, maybe I'll be happy enough to leave you with a whole body."
Huangfu Ning straightened his sleeves and asked, "Should I thank you first?"
Xiahou Jun didn't bother to waste his breath on him. Since he wouldn't stop even when he was being nicely talked to, he had no choice but to start. "It seems that not only is he hard of hearing due to his age, but he's also having trouble understanding things. Come on, let Lin Feng take good care of this 'uncle'."
As he spoke, Xiahou Chun quickly sprinkled some unknown powder onto Huangfu Ning while he wasn't paying attention. Huangfu Ning knew it was puppet silk the moment he smelled it, but he still asked in confusion, "Hey, young man, what did you just spray on me? It's not something dirty, is it? I spent a lot of money on this new dress, and I'm afraid you can't afford to pay for it if it's damaged."
"That's perfect! That was a treasure I spent a lot of money on at Tianshu Tower. Just enjoy it." After saying that, Xiahou Chun shouted, "Back off!"
Immediately, the people from Tianshu Tower retreated a long way. Lin Feng's eyes were red, and his brain, already numb, could only sense the presence of the puppet threads. The next second, he swung his fist and smashed it at Huangfu Ning. After Huangfu Ning dodged, a puff of dust rose up on the previously flat street, and a huge hole appeared.
Huangfu Ning's speed increased significantly. "Oh, this one looks pretty good. It should be much more durable than the ones just now!"
During the fight, with the light from the fire in Tianshu Tower, Huangfu Ning was able to clearly see the face of the person in front of him. It turned out to be the person Zhou Weiyong had asked him to find. However, at first glance, death seemed to be the best fate for this person.
Lin Feng, who only knew how to rely on brute force and was tireless, was initially at a disadvantage, but as time passed, his advantage gradually became apparent. Seeing this, Xiahou Jun couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. Even if Lin Feng really couldn't kill this man, the archers he prepared were not just for show.
Huangfu Ning felt that he couldn't fight a long battle with him, so he quickly reached into his sleeves with both hands, and almost transparent silk threads instantly wrapped Lin Feng into a dumpling. Lin Feng's body was suddenly covered with many red marks.
The silk thread in Huangfu Zhong's hand was not an ordinary thread for sewing or weaving. If he hadn't wanted to take Lin Feng away, Lin Feng would have probably turned into pieces of meat by now.
After restraining Lin Feng's movements, Huangfu Ning smiled and said, "These movements and these shouts are not worthy of this face."
However, during the subsequent struggle between the two, Huangfu Ning discovered something strange. This person did indeed have the Life and Death Gu, but it didn't seem like the living dead Huangfu Huimin had described earlier.
