Chapter 66: Fei Bai tortures Xia Mingyuan
"The head has won! The head has won!" The disciples of the Tianshan School rushed up to the high platform, jumping for joy.
A few days ago, Duan Feibai lost to Tao Jingyi, which almost made the Tianshan faction lose face. In this match, Duan Feibai won against the chief disciple of Xijiange, not only regaining the face of the Tianshan faction, but also making the Tianshan faction more powerful. It is no wonder that these disciples are so happy about such an exciting event.
With Dongfang Yue's defeat, the result of the martial arts conference was settled. The leader of Qin League walked up to the high platform, stroked his long beard, and laughed loudly: "The waves behind the Yangtze River push forward the waves ahead. All the young heroes possess unique skills at a young age. The future of the rivers and lakes is entrusted to your hands. I am very pleased. The competition will begin Up to now, the top five heroes have been born, and who will win the position of the leader of the martial arts depends on everyone's next performance."
It turns out that the martial arts competition is only the first assessment, and the next task is the key to the final decision of the alliance leader.
"In recent years, there have been a large number of talented people in the Jianghu, but there are also people with bad intentions. Evil factions such as Doll Villa have plotted against this martial arts country. The various sects have repeatedly encircled and suppressed them, but they have all returned in disastrous defeat. Therefore, after discussion, the Wulin League decided that if Whoever can take the head of Mr. Ghost of the Puppet Villa will be entrusted to sit on the position of leader, I wonder if the five young heroes have any objections?" said the leader of the Qin alliance.
"Tianshan faction has no objection." Duan Feibai said.
"Xianjiange respects the decision of the Wulin League." Dongfang Yue said.
The first and second place have no opinion, and the others have no opinion. If the first round was about martial arts, then the second round with Mr. Gui's head as a reward was about strategy.
Being the leader of the martial arts alliance depends not only on force, but also on strategy. It is harmful and not beneficial for a brave and foolish person to sit on the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance. Moreover, it is very fair to use Mr. Gui's head as the assessment. Next, who can get the head depends on their own ability.
The martial arts conference came to an end. Except for the five heroes who won the rankings, who were about to go to the next competition to hunt and kill Mr. Gui, everyone else started to pack their bags and return to their respective sects.
In the contest between Tao Jingyi and Duan Feibai, Xia Mingyuan put the rest of his net worth on Tao Jingyi because of his gamble. After the result of the contest, he not only won back all the net worth he lost before, but also made a lot of money. If you ask who is the happiest in this martial arts conference, it will undoubtedly be him.
After depositing the money in the bank, Xia Mingyuan hummed a song and returned to his residence in Moli Villa.
He took the key from his waist and inserted it into the lock, not noticing that a figure quietly appeared behind him.
The man raised his hand, and a knife landed on Xia Mingyuan's neck.
Xia Mingyuan's eyes suddenly went dark, and his body limply fell to the ground.
The heron bent over to carry the man on his shoulders, jumped a few times, and left Moli Villa.
The night is thick, and in the deep grove, a stone house is lit.
Heron carried the man, stepped into the stone house, threw the man on the ground, and said to the man standing by the window: "Master, the man has been brought back."
The man turned around, revealing a handsome face. There was no expression on his face, he just stared silently at Xia Mingyuan who was on the ground: "Is he Lanling Xiaolang?"
"That's right, this subordinate has already found out that he is Lanling Xiao Lang, whose real name is Xia Mingyuan. This subordinate is not mistaken, it was this young man who had a private meeting with his wife in the middle of the night."
Duan Feibai nodded, the expression on his face remained unchanged.
Helu hesitated, and asked, "Do you want to use torture?"
"No, you go out."
Heron nodded, quietly exited the stone house, and closed the door.
Duan Feibai walked to the table, picked up the teapot on the table, walked to Xia Mingyuan's side, raised his arms high, tilted the spout, and poured all the cold tea on Xia Mingyuan's face.
"Damn, who splashed me with footwashing water!" Xia Mingyuan shuddered, and when he came to his senses, he jumped up suddenly and shouted with a ferocious expression.
The candlelight danced, and in the dim yellow light, there seemed to be a figure standing under the iron frame, with half of his face hidden in the shadow, staring at him calmly.
With a "bang", it was Duan Feibai who threw the teapot in his hand out. With a very light force, the moment the teapot hit the wall, it turned into a ball of powder, and the wall made of stone cracked a crack.
Xia Mingyuan was stunned for a moment, with a look of horror in his eyes.
He raised his hand to wipe the water from his face, and looked towards Duan Feibai.
Dressed in blue with a blue belt, with a stern face and a sword at his waist, the sword is like spring water.
"Dongfang Yue?!" Xia Mingyuan was shocked.
Duan Fei took a bow and an arrow from the wall with a blank face, bent the bow and drew the string, and aimed the arrow at Xia Mingyuan.
Xia Mingyuan took a step back, reached the base of the wall, and looked around in a panic. This is a stone room, the interior is full of torture tools, it should be a torture room.
"You, you, what are you arresting me for?" Xia Mingyuan's face turned pale with fright.
"Do you know Tao Jingyi?"
Many thoughts flashed through Xia Mingyuan's mind, he nodded and said, "Yes, we are friends, she has read my book."
"Late at night last month, she went to find you. What did you say?"
Xia Mingyuan hesitated, and the arrow in Duan Feibai's hand slammed, and flew out, brushed Xia Mingyuan's cheek, and nailed into the wall behind him.
Xia Mingyuan lost all blood, and with a "plop", he knelt down on the ground: "Great hero, spare your life, it's nothing! We really didn't say anything! I swear on my life, we just chatted a few words!"
"Huh, the shot missed." Duan Feibai seemed a little regretful, took another arrow, put it on the string, and aimed it at Xia Mingyuan who was on the ground.
Xia Mingyuan's legs were as limp as noodles, even though he was terribly scared, he didn't have the strength to stand up and run away.
"You are a book writer, what are you doing here at the martial arts conference?" Duan Feibai tightened his strings, and pointed at Xia Mingyuan again, "Answer well, if you say something wrong, this arrow will hit your heart."
"I'm here to collect materials." Xia Mingyuan looked like he was about to cry, "I'm a scholar and I don't know anything about the world, so I just sneaked in to see what real heroes are like. I swear, I Miss Tao and Miss Tao are definitely just ordinary friends, if there is even the slightest deviation, I will be fined and punished!"
"real?"
"Really!" Xia Mingyuan nodded, "I have absolutely no wrong thoughts about Miss Tao."
"Depending on you?" Duan Feibai sneered. In his heart, only someone like Feng Linzhi is worthy of being his opponent. Xia Mingyuan was just a literate scholar, so he was not a threat at all. He was just a little puzzled, and always felt that something was wrong. Tao Jingyi's attitude towards Xia Mingyuan was not like an ordinary friend.
Duan Feibai put down his bow and arrow, and said coldly, "You can go."
Xia Mingyuan got up in disbelief, and dragged his limp legs towards the door.
"Remember, don't tell her what happened today, otherwise, I will cut you to pieces." Duan Feibai warned.
Xia Mingyuan nodded indiscriminately, like a ghost, he rushed out of the stone house without looking back.
After Xia Mingyuan left, Duan Feibai took off the human/skin mask stuck to his cheeks, and threw away the fake Chunshui sword on his waist. After a while, Heron opened the door and came in, surprised: "Master, just let him go like this?"
"He seems timid, but he is actually cunning. If you press him, he will only ask a bunch of lies. Find someone to monitor him, and report to me if there is any change." Duan Feibai crushed the human/leather mask in his hand.
The moonlight was bright and clear, shrouding a figure running rapidly. After Xia Mingyuan quickly ran out of the grove, he rushed towards Moli Villa with all his might.
"To hell! To hell!" Xia Mingyuan muttered while knocking on Tao Jingyi's door.
Not long after, the door opened, revealing Tao Jingyi's figure. She glanced at Xia Mingyuan, seeing his bewildered expression, she couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?"
Xia Mingyuan looked left and right to confirm that there was no one there, then stepped into her room and closed the door tightly.
Tao Jingyi asked strangely, "What happened, why are you in such a panic?"
"Just now, I was caught by Dongfang Yue."
"What did Dongfang Yue arrest you for?" Tao Jingyi frowned.
Xia Mingyuan shook his head: "I don't know, he asked some very strange questions. He asked about the content of our conversation in the middle of the night last month, and also asked me the purpose of coming to the martial arts conference."
Tao Jingyi mused: "I didn't come home overnight last month. Eldest brother knew about it. Why didn't he ask at that time, but only now."
Xia Mingyuan said with lingering fear: "Dongfang Yue is a very powerful person. For so many years, he has been able to sit on the position of the chief disciple and sit firmly. It can only show that he is not only strong in martial arts, but also in his scheming and strategy. Look. In short, he is a very deep man, so you have to be careful of him."
Tao Jingyi nodded, no matter what Dongfang Yue's purpose was, she would definitely be on guard against him.
"I'll leave tomorrow morning. You and Duan Feibai and the others must be careful. These individuals are more powerful than each other. After you get the things, get out as soon as possible. This is a silver ticket of five hundred taels. You carry it with you. Just in case."
"Thank you." Tao Jingyi took the bank note.
"You're welcome, the money is still won by you, so you should share it with you," Xia Mingyuan said.
Xia Mingyuan left as soon as he said he would. The next morning, before dawn, he packed his bags and left Moli Villa.
There is dew on the tip of the grass, and the fragrance of flowers and trees floats in the air. In the sky, a row of wild geese fly to the south with the word "human". The golden sunlight pierced through the clouds, enveloping Tao Jingyi's cheeks.
In front of the villa, Junior Martial Uncle, Ruan Shan and others were saying goodbye to Tao Jingyi and Dongfang Yue.
Tao Jingyi took a pack of medicine and stuffed it through the car window to the junior uncle: "Little uncle, you have to remember to take the medicine in time, if the illness is still not good, go to the Pharmacist's Valley to find senior Xue Yi."
The martial arts conference was over, and Tao Jingyi was very worried because his uncle's illness hadn't recovered yet. But the little master uncle just followed someone who had nothing to do, and didn't take it seriously at all, and tortured everyone with his male duck voice every day.
"I see." The little uncle coughed lightly and replied cautiously.
After the little uncle and the others left, Duan Feibai and Shen Rou also came out of the villa. Duan Feibai was holding a maroon horse in his hand. The horse saw Tao Jingyi from afar, let out a long roar, broke free from the reins, spread its hooves, and galloped towards Tao Jingyi quickly.
It was her little red horse.
After she faked her death in front of the cliff, the little red horse was taken back by Duan Feibai. After not seeing him for such a long time, the little red horse has grown a lot taller. Standing in the sky, it looks majestic, especially when it is rushing towards Tao Jingyi. From a distance, it looks like a ball of burning red flame.
Tao Jingyi was so frightened that she took a few steps back, and hurriedly looked for the bamboo whistle that Feng Linzhi had given her. After searching for a long time, she realized that she had lost that bamboo whistle in front of the cliff long ago. Just when she was at a loss, Dongfang Yue pulled her behind her and pushed out a palm.
Tao Jingyi exclaimed in surprise, "Brother, please be merciful!"
As soon as the words fell, Dongfang Yue quickly pumped out the internal force in her palm, and retracted her energy by three points. Even so, the palm wind that was pushed out could not be retracted.
The little red horse also seemed to sense the danger, and stopped abruptly. Due to the effect of inertia, its body slid forward a few steps before barely stopping.
Tao Jingyi hurried to its side to check its injuries.
The little red horse happily held its four hooves, stomped on the ground with a "da da", rubbed its head into her arms, snorted non-stop, and even wagged its tail happily, wishing to bury itself completely in her in the arms.
Dongfang Yue's palm seemed domineering, but it didn't cause any substantial damage to the little red horse. Tao Jingyi heaved a sigh of relief.
Duan Feibai walked towards her, and said with a soft smile, "This is my mount, named Xiaohong. It seems that it likes Miss Tao very much."
Obviously it was her mount. Tao Jingyi slandered silently. She is still wearing a veil and an ugly mask today, as long as Duan Feibai doesn't expose her, she will pretend to be stupid and refuse to admit it.
The little red horse buried her head in Tao Jingyi's arms, reluctant to leave.
A horse recognizes its owner, no matter how much he tames it, it never regards him as its owner.
Although rebellious, Duan Feibai neither beat it, nor cut it off from food and water, because, just like its owner, it was stubborn.
His temper is too strong, and if he is a little careless, he will be destroyed.
He doesn't like this kind of temperament. If it were someone else, he would have made it a puppet long ago, but he only pampered it, just like pampering Tao Jingyi.
Later, for countless days and nights, he kept thinking that if he had pampered her a little before the cliff, the result might not have been so tragic.
Fortunately, in God's mercy, she is back.
