Chapter 2: Poisoning (Seeking Recommendations and Bookmarks!)

  Just at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door of Yun Zhong Ke's residence.

  "Open the door! Open it quickly!"

  Xu Xuan and others had just drunk half of their wine, when they suddenly turned around to look at the same time. At this moment, Mr. Yun quietly opened the door of the inn with a gloomy expression. The next thing that entered everyone's eyes was a slender man with a pair of rat-like whiskers on his chin.

  "No vacancies! You'd better look for another place!" Mr. Yun reminded the newcomer.

  The short man glanced at Xu Xuan and several other tables of guests, then said: "I'll offer a few gold coins, which hero will kindly vacate a room?"

  As soon as this was said, everyone's face showed a hint of strangeness and they looked at the short man with an odd gaze. At that moment, the three white-robed men sitting in the corner of the wall smiled and said: "Of course it can be done! However, this brother still needs to pay first!"

  Without looking at the cloud boss, the short man burst out laughing and walked a few steps to the table where the white-robed men were sitting, putting down one or two pieces of gold on the table.

  "Go up the stairs, third room on the right from the top of the second floor!" The man in white robes chuckled and weighed the gold in his hand before smiling.

  "Thank you!" The short man grabbed a pig's trotter from the table and turned to head towards the stairs.

  "One of the men with a clear face was about to retort, but then he saw the white-robed man from before and said: 'Brother Gao, don't be rash. This person's footsteps are light and nimble, he's an expert!'"

  The man with the surname Gao snorted coldly and picked up his wine cup, drinking it all in one gulp.

  Xu Xuan and others carefully sized up the short man, seeing that not only was he covered in mud, but also had multiple scratches on his calves, it was clear at a glance that this person had been traveling for a long time.

  Xu Xuan and others saw that they had almost finished drinking, so they all stood up and went towards the stairs.

  "Objectively, your rooms are on the second floor, left hand side, from the third to the seventh room!" Cloud Boss instructed Xiao Er to lead the way, and then reminded Xu Xuan and others.

  Xu Xuan heard the words and followed Xiao Er directly to the second floor, while Fang Jing, who had just greeted Xu Xuan, raised his long gun and chased after Baoyi Lian, also heading towards the stairs.

  Leave the savage at the door to keep watch, at this moment Xu Xuan led all the members of the Menghu Gang and closed the door.

  "Blind man, are you almost ready?" Xu Xuan spoke up.

  The blind man put dozens of flying knives on a nearby table and said, "Boss, these flying knives have been coated with extremely toxic poison on our brothers' weapons. No matter how many people from the Lotus Peak Gang come, as long as they are injured by any one of us, they will be completely powerless!"

  Xu Xuan put away the dozens of flying knives and smiled, saying: "Blind man, you're still the most clever! Right, Lai Fu, be careful tonight. If it weren't for Tian Sheng's divine strength, I really wouldn't feel at ease with you!"

  Lai Fu heard this and immediately hugged Ruhua, then gratefully said: "Thanks a lot to Master for helping me get rid of those guys who insulted Ruhua just now!"

  "Go back and rest first! Tonight, Ye Ren and Zuo Lun will take turns being on duty!" Xu Xuan arranged.

  As soon as he finished speaking, everyone left Xu Xuan's room together.

  Xu Xuan closed the door and began to think carefully. For some reason, he always felt that everyone here was a bit strange.

  On the other hand, those who were still drinking in the hall at this moment had all returned to their rooms. A hint of ruthlessness flashed across Yun's eyes as he headed towards the back kitchen.

  Yun boss rushed into the back kitchen and closed the door, then said: "Xiao Dao, Huo Tou, Tang Lao, tonight is the old routine!"

  "Yes, Cloud Boss!" The three nodded in unison.

  In fact, this Yunzhong Inn is a black shop. The boss, Yun Meiniang, has been resentful of all the unfaithful men since she was abandoned by her man in Zhongyuan. In order to make a living, she gathered some masters and set up this inn at the foot of Lianfeng Mountain Range.

  The thin and agile man known as Little Knife was actually a swift knife expert from the Central Plains, his speed with knives was unimaginable. In close combat, he could easily handle ordinary thugs. Huo Tou wielded a pair of giant axes, born with divine strength, ordinary men couldn't get near him even if they were seven or eight strong men. As for Tang Lao, he was skilled in using poisonous techniques, the number of souls who died at his hands was not less than one hundred.

  These three people are the left and right arms of Yun Meiniang, as for that little second and horseman, their martial arts skills are obviously much weaker, generally responsible for spreading the news after handling the aftermath.

  Yun Meiniang saw this and slightly nodded her head, then immediately took a few steps back to the kitchen, and soon picked up an oil lamp in the living room.

  "Alright everyone, this small shop is closing down!"

  As soon as this was said, Yun Niang immediately blew out all the oil lamps in the hall, picked up an oil lamp and walked upstairs. She glanced at the wild man standing at the gate of Xu Xuan and secretly said: "Foolish big guy, you just watch the door for me, tonight you will definitely die!"

  The savage saw Yun Meiniang walking towards him with an oil lamp, and for a moment, his gaze lingered on her full chest and lower abdomen.

  "Hey big brother, why don't you come to my room tonight and see how I'll make you feel at home!" Yun Meiniang teased with a smile, then brushed past the wild man.

  The savage heard the pointer stop at 12:30 in an awkward position, and after mustering up his courage, he actually touched Yun Mei's plump buttocks.

  "Hey, big brother, how can you be so despicable? You're really bad!" Yun Meiniang looked at the wild man with a forced smile.

  The seductive words suddenly made the savage excited and said: "Boss lady, you're so beautiful, I want to do it with you!"

  "Hmm—"

  Yun Meiniang was almost stunned, she did not expect this rough and unrefined man to say something so despicable.

  Seeing Yun Mei's appearance, the wild man was embarrassed and said: "Sorry, I was rude!"

  "Watch your door!"

  Yun Meiniang let out a cold laugh, and then stepped lightly with her plump buttocks swaying back and forth. Before long, she disappeared at the end of the corridor, where it was clear that this was Yun Meiniang's room.

  He swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva, and at this moment the wild man couldn't stand still. He reached into his pants pocket with his right hand and began to masturbate.

  Panting heavily, the savage had no idea what was happening outside this inn.

  At this moment, an old man wearing a night-traveling outfit outside the inn jumped onto the three-meter-high wall with one flip of his body, and then again with another leap, he landed on the roof of the inn.

  Stealthily stepping onto a tile roof, the old man in black lifted two tiles and then peered down intently by the moonlight.

  All that can be seen is the man on the bed sleeping soundly, while on the desk, seven or eight tea cups are all placed upside down. As for the teapot, the lid is tightly closed, and the spout of the teapot is also stuffed with a white cloth by this person.

  "You're still quite careful, huh?"

  Tang Lao smiled slightly, then pulled out a thin rope with a loop at the top, slowly lowering it down. Near the teapot on the table in the room, he slipped the loop over the tea lid, and as soon as it was secure, Tang Lao lifted it up. Next, he lowered another rope with a silver hook at the top.

  When the silver hook approached the teapot, Tang Lao saw that he had taken a small bottle from his waist and poured it onto the hanging rope.

  As for this small bottle, of course, it contains a deadly poison. The man in the room will probably rack his brains and still won't know that he'll be poisoned tonight without realizing it.

  Originally, Old Teng could have directly poisoned the sleeping man's mouth, but this person slept on his side, and Old Teng had no choice but to do it this way.

  The deadly poison flowed along the thin string to the silver hook, and then dripped down smoothly. After the task was accomplished, Old Tang carefully put the tea lid back in place. As soon as the string came into contact with a solid object, it would loosen, and then another string on the top of the silver hook would lift the ring up with a small hook!

  Everything was done, and Old Tuan put the two tiles on this room in order, and carefully came to another one.

  This is what it means to be a professional, this is a professional poisoner.

  However, when Tang Lao poisoned the third room, he saw a black figure bursting out directly!

  "After him! Don't let the flying mouse get away!"

  With a furious roar, two figures shot out again in succession.

  These two are not Akakage's bounty hunters, Kōryū and Oniwaban, who else could they be?

  As soon as a black figure appeared on the roof, he saw Tang Lao wearing night clothes and looking very sneaky.

  "Not good!" Old Tuan saw this and hastily turned around to escape.

  Whoosh!

  At this moment, Leng Xue and Gui Shou also saw Tang Lao's figure!

  "Surprisingly, there's an accomplice! Leng brother, hand over the Flying Heaven Mouse to me, you deal with the other one!" The Ghost Hand commanded and immediately shot towards the direction where the Flying Heaven Mouse was escaping.

  On the other hand, at this moment Xu Xuan heard the loud cries of the blind man and others!

  "Something's wrong! Enemy ahead!"

  Clang!

  Successive loud clangs of swords being unsheathed, Xu Xuan and others rushed out in unison!

  Bang!

  Yun Mengniang was originally in a room pretending to sleep, heard the noise, suddenly shouted that something was wrong, and immediately put on her night clothes, after all, if Xiao Dao, Huo Tou, and Tang Lao were surrounded, it would be bad.

  On the other hand, each room was in an uproar, with everyone brandishing their weapons. In a flash, they burst out of the broken tiles!

  Looking at the moment on the eaves of the inn, a dozen or so masters who had checked into the Cloud Inn together were standing in a scattered yet orderly manner. At this moment, Fang Jing and Lan Feng exchanged a glance with each other.

  "What's going on with Brother Xu?" Fang Jing exclaimed, gazing out at the two massive battles in the distance.

  Just then, a heart-wrenching scream came from downstairs!

  "Ah—"

  "Someone has been poisoned!"

  With such a loud and mournful cry, Xu Xuan suddenly burst into rage and shouted: "Damn it! Dare to poison! Brothers, kill for me!"

  "It's a black shop!"

  "Kill!"

  "Kill!"

  Qiqi burst out and Xu Xuan led the blind man and others to perform a front flip in mid-air, rapidly shooting towards one of the war circles!
