Chapter Thirty-Three: Jin Jiuling's Poisoning

  Li Yunfei saw Lao Shi and Shang running far away with big laughter, so he shouted: "Lao Shi and Shang, what are you running for? Someone wants to eat you!"

  But Luk Siu Fung had made up his mind not to let him slip away this time, and with a flip of his body, he blocked his path. Grabbing the old monk, he asked: "Why do you want...

  Ha?

  The monk said: "When the monk thinks it's funny, the monk laughs, the monk is honest."

  Li Yunfei also rushed over and asked: "What's so funny about this?"

  The old monk said strangely: "Why do you want to break the pot and ask for the bottom?"

  Lu Xiaofeng said, "This matter, even if it means breaking the monk's head, I must ask to the end." Lu Xiaofeng spoke very seriously, looking into the honest monk's eyes word by word.

  The monk saw Lu Xiaofeng speaking very seriously and sighed, saying: "A monk's head cannot be broken, a monk only has one head."

  "Then tell me why you want to laugh?"

  Lao Shi and the monk started laughing again, laughing very loudly. Lu Xiao Feng's annoyed eyes opened wide, looking at Lao Shi and the monk. Lao Shi and the monk's laughter stopped abruptly, saying: "Because of three points. First: because you can't find her no matter what. Second: even if you do find her, you won't be able to beat her. Third: even if you could beat her, it would be useless."

  "How come it's not working?"

  The honest monk said: "Because as soon as you see her, you can't bear to hit her. At that time, perhaps you only hope she can hit you a few times."

  "Is she very beautiful?"

  The monk said, "There are four great beauties in the martial arts world. You seem to know them all?"

  Lu Xiaofeng said: "Not bad, I know them all, what's up."

  The monk asked: "Then you say, are they beautiful?"

  Lu Xiaofeng said: "Beautiful, they are all beautiful."

  The honest monk laughed and said: "But that Madame Gongsun is ten times more beautiful than all of them put together."

  "Have you seen her?"

  The monk let out a sigh and said with a bitter smile, "May the Buddha have mercy, I pray that I will never see her again. If I do, even if I had ten heads, I fear they would all be broken."

  Li Yunfei asked: "Do you know where she is?"

  The honest monk shook his head and said: "I don't know!"

  If the honest monk says he doesn't know, then he really doesn't know. The honest monk never tells lies.

  Lu Xiaofeng also asked: "Where did you see her last time?"

  The honest monk said: "I cannot tell you."

  If an honest monk says he can't tell you something, then it's really impossible for him to tell you. Even if you crack open his skull, there's no use.

  Lu Xiaofeng also knew that this was no good, so he could only glare at him fiercely. Suddenly, he laughed and said: "Actually, the monk doesn't just have one head." The honest monk didn't understand, looking at Lu Xiaofeng with confusion.

  Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Because the monk has a little monk too." He burst out laughing, laughing so hard that he bent over at the waist. The honest monk was already furious, he knew Lu Xiaofeng was intentionally teasing him, but he still got furious, almost to the point of fainting. Li Yunfei laughed loudly, very loudly. Jin Jiuling watched from the side and couldn't help but sneak a smile too.

  The monk suddenly sighed and said: "The monk is not telling a lie, there's another honest word to tell you."

  Lu Xiaofeng barely suppressed his laughter and asked: "You tell me."

  The old monk said: "Look at you three people, all with a gloomy face. Within three days, your heads will be broken by others."

  Li Yunfei looked at Old Honest Monk and smiled: "My head may not be as hard as a monk's, but no one will break it either."

  At this time, someone passed on a message that they had found a den of Grandmother Gongsun.

  Their goal was a small alley behind them, at the end of which stood a small house.

  "The tenant is a handsome young man. He paid the rent for a whole year in advance!" A little runner rushed to Jin Jiuling, as if Jin Jiuling was his parent.

  Jin Jiulian said: "This man is my apprentice, now one of the nine great captains of the Six Panels Gate. Meng Wei!"

  "Did you hear any movement inside?" Li Yunfei asked.

  "No, it's said that house has never been lived in either." Meng Wei said.

  "Maybe we arrived earlier than Gong Sun's wife, she killed the snake king and will inevitably delay some time, let alone she also has to bring a wounded Xue Bing." Li Yunfei thought for a moment and said.

  Jin Jiuling heard Li Yunfei's words and ordered, "Withdraw all the conspicuous brothers under your command, don't let anyone discover that there is already a warning here!"

  Meng Wei said: "Our actions have been very careful, the brothers who came here have all changed their clothes, and Madame Gongsun will not find out."

  Jin Jiuling coldly smiled and said: "What's the use of disguising oneself? Can't others see through it?"

  Li Yunfei took one glance and saw that the tea house attendants, the fruit vendor across the alley, the fortune teller next to him, and seven or eight tea customers were all their people in disguise. Having lingered at the public gate for a long time, every move seemed somewhat different from ordinary people, especially the expression on their faces, which couldn't deceive discerning eyes.

  Meng Wei said: "I'll go call them over right away."

  Entering the house, it was still bright inside, and the room was full of dust. This place had not been inhabited for a long time, and the furnishings in the house were similar to those on the other side of Ping City.

  There are eight or nine sets of all kinds of clothes in the closet. On the table, there is a mirror, next to which is a small bed, and nothing special can be seen anywhere. Nor can any special clues be found. It seems like they came for nothing. Jin Jiulian walked back and forth with his hands behind his back. Suddenly, he jumped up onto the beam, shook his head, and jumped down again.

  Meng Wei suddenly cheered up in the kitchen. He rushed out with a wooden box in his hand, shouting: "I found something!"

  Jin Jiulian was overjoyed and asked: "Where did you find this?"

  "In the stove," said Meng Wei. The stove was indeed a good place to hide things. If something was hidden there, it must be a secret.

  Jin Jiuyi was just about to open it and take a look, but Lu Xiaofeng stopped him, saying: "Be careful, there might be a mechanism inside the box."

  Jin Jiuling flipped the box over with his hand and smiled, "This box is very light. If it were equipped with a spring-loaded hidden weapon, it would certainly be heavier."

  Jin Jiuling was certainly a very serious person, otherwise he would have died dozens of times in the past decade. Lu Xiaofeng didn't say anything else, the hidden projectile must be metal. The weight in his hand was naturally different. The box wasn't locked, Jin Jiuling opened the intricately carved wooden lid, and suddenly a light red mist shot out rapidly. Jin Jiuling tried to hold his breath but it was too late. His body stumbled backward, "bang", hitting the cabinet and falling down.

  Lu Xiaofeng remembered the honest monk's honest words, he said that within three days, their three heads would be smashed, and unexpectedly this true word was fulfilled.

  Meng Wei had long since slipped out and only came back in after the toxic smoke had dispersed, pinching his nose as he walked.

  At this time, Luk Siu Fung had already helped up Kam Kiu Lin with his true energy to protect his heart pulse. He only hoped that he could save his life.

  Meng Wei picked up the box, he cared about this box far more than Jin Jiulian, but the box was empty, there was nothing inside. He looked for a long time, and suddenly shouted: "It's here!"

  The secret is not in the box, but on its lid. On the lid, a short inscription in ancient script reads: "Lu Jiao Ah Tu, Bi Yi Jiang Gui".

  The more obvious it is, the less others will notice. Gong Sun's wife clearly understands people's thoughts. By using this method to convey messages, who would know? She was informing someone to hand over things to Ah Tu because Ah Tu was going back.

  Li Yunfei asked in confusion: "Who is the message for? Is it for Ah Tu? Who is Ah Tu?"

  Meng Wei muttered: "A Tu, could it be that A Tu!"

  Li Yunfei asked: "Do you know that Atu?"

  Meng Wei said: "The beggar who used to ask for food at the entrance of the alley was called Ah Tu by others."

  "What about him now?"

  Meng Wei looked down, somewhat embarrassed: "Our people were going to impersonate him and had already driven him away."

  Lu Xiaofeng hastily said: "Go find him quickly!" Meng Wei hurriedly ran out.

  At this time, Li Yunfei said: "Stop, don't be in a hurry." Meng Wei immediately stopped again.

  Lu Xiaofeng hastily asked: "Li Yunfei, what are you going to do? Don't let that Ah Tu run away."

  Li Yunfei looked at Lu Xiaofeng and smiled: "Don't be in a hurry."

  "How can I not be anxious? My two friends, one is dead and the other poisoned. How can I not be anxious?"
