Chapter 428(1/2)
Ghost King Li Zhishan was also a ruthless man when he was young.
It is said that he fought out of the Valley of the Dead and became one of the two evil kings in the Demon Cult with his ruthless strength. His status in the Demon Cult is second only to the Night King. With his two envoys on the left and right, he is firmly in the top ten of the Demon Cult.
Later, because he offended the Night King, one of his fingers was cut off by the Night King with a black ice sword, so he got the title of Nine-Finger Ghost King.
The Ghost King and the Night King have also had a grudge since then.
Only under the mediation of the leader Yi Zhihua, the two of them managed to live in harmony, but they both wanted to kill each other.
In the demon sect, there has always been a saying that ghosts and the two kings of the night will not see each other.
In the battle between good and evil, the Night King was trapped in Phoenix Ridge and was chased by all the decent people. However, the Ghost King refused to save him. The Night King was severely injured. From then on, the two of them forged a great feud. Later, the Ghost King was killed by Song Jingang.
He was seriously injured and escaped by pretending to die. Since then, the Nine-Finger Ghost King has disappeared from the world.
Until half a year ago, Li Zhishan reappeared in the world. Unexpectedly, as soon as he came out of the mountain, he would fall into the hands of Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Xing.
Zhao Xing's poison from pine needles and red clams caused Li Zhishan to break another finger. After being injured, he fled to the capital to recuperate.
In the Fireworks Alley, I met Li Baniang who was bullied by some thugs.
When he was young, Li Zhishan committed murder, arson, rape, robbery and robbery, and committed all kinds of evil. But when he saw Li Baniang, it reminded him of a friend he had in the Valley of the Dead. He didn't know what he was not dealing with, but this made Li Zhishan feel a little uneasy in his heart.
A different feeling.
Li Zhishan sent those villains to the West, and he also met Li Baniang "naturally".
Li Baniang had a "gentle" personality and gave him meticulous care while he was recovering from his injuries, which made Li Zhishan feel at ease.
Since the fall of the demon sect, Li Zhishan has been hiding in Tibet every day, not only to avoid the pursuit of the decent martial arts, but also to avoid the revenge of the Night King Zhu Dian. He has developed a suspicious character. In the past twenty years, he has hardly slept at all.
But with Li Baniang, he found inner peace again.
Tomorrow is the birthday of His Majesty, and Li Zhishan will do something big.
So tonight he informed Li Baniang early in the morning that he would stay here tonight.
Fireworks Alley, Lakeside Courtyard.
As soon as Li Zhishan entered the door, he heard the melodious sound of a piano, bringing a touch of tenderness to the quiet night.
Li Baniang was dressed in red makeup, just like the makeup she wore when the two met for the first time.
Although the years have left traces on her body, they have not erased her appearance.
Seeing Li Zhishan come in, Li Baniang stood up, took his black cloak with a smile, helped him hang it up, and said with a smile, "Brother Li, you are here."
Thousands of words are not as good as this greeting.
Li Zhishan was not as eager to be intimate with her as before, but just nodded and said: "I have something important tomorrow, so I will come over here tonight to see you." He took out a bag from his arms, "There are some gold leaves in it, first of all
If I can't come back, take the money and leave the capital quickly."
Li Baniang was a little panicked, "Brother, what are you going to do?"
Li Zhishan said: "Don't ask too much about men's matters. Keep the gold."
Li Baniang said: "I don't want your money, I just want you to be safe!"
Hearing this sentence, Li Zhishan felt a strange emotion in his heart. He thought that I, Li Zhishan, had killed countless people in my life. I didn't expect that God was so kind to me and sent Li Baniang to me. He held Li Baniang's hands tightly and said, "You
Don’t worry, I’m just going to kill someone. If everything goes well, I’ll be back tomorrow night.”
Li Baniang trembled all over and asked softly: "Didn't you agree not to kill anyone in the future?"
Li Zhishan said: "This is my enemy twenty years ago. I will take revenge tomorrow. After tomorrow, I will fly away with you!" He didn't want to dwell on this. "I'm hungry. Have you made chicken soup? There's no time."
Morning, you can still have some rest!"
Li Baniang lit a stick of Tibetan incense.
A familiar aroma is refreshing.
It is said that Li Baniang went to the Tianlong Temple in the suburbs to ask for it. It can soothe the mind and help sleep. For a period of time, the Ghost King has been relying on this incense to hypnotize him.
Li Baniang said: "I'll heat it up for you."
…
Outside the small courtyard.
Fan Xiaodao followed the Ghost King to Linhu Courtyard, but did not follow him in.
The Ghost King has strong martial arts skills but is also suspicious. If he enters rashly, he will easily scare off the enemy. He is lurking under an eaves opposite the small courtyard. Through the candlelight, he can vaguely see the Ghost King and Li Baniang chatting in the room. Their voices are not loud and they are far away from each other.
It's far away, so I can't hear it clearly.
Two hours ago, Li Baniang was still dressed in black and had a cold expression.
Now she is wearing red makeup and is as gentle as water.
I still remember that when Baihualou was seized last year, Li Baniang was still a free-spirited bustard. Every time they met, she appeared in front of him in a different image. Fan Xiaodao couldn't figure out who was trained by Zhuge Xianyu.
Well, Li Baniang’s acting skills are still superb.
Li Baniang filled two bowls of chicken soup and brought them to the room.
Not long after, she came out and hung a red lantern outside the house.
Not long after, a group of men in black appeared outside the small courtyard.
The leader was none other than Zhuge Xianyu.
Fan Xiaodao jumped down from the roof and came to him, "Master Zhuge."
Zhuge Xianyu did not expect to see Fan Xiaodao here, "Why are you here?"
Fan Xiaodao reported to Zhuge Xianyu what happened in the Shenlong Temple in a few words.
Zhuge Xianyu said: "Originally, one of the actions tonight is to deal with the ghost king Li Zhishan, so the Shenlong Temple will let you pass. We have laid out this line for two months, and tonight is the time to close the net.
, you came at the right time."
"Ba Niang doesn't know how to do martial arts."
Zhuge Xianyu said: "Sometimes, killing people does not necessarily require martial arts."
"You mean using poison?" Fan Xiaodao said, "Li Zhishan's martial arts are so powerful that ordinary poisons can't do anything to him. Back then, he was poisoned by the Red Blood Clam, one of the three most bizarre poisons in the world, and he still managed to escape."
Zhuge Xianyu asked, "What about the unusual poison?"
Fan Xiaodao asked, "What do you mean?"
"Temara."
Tianmora?
The first of the three major poisons, it was this poison that was used to poison Sun Mengwu to death.
Suddenly, Fan Xiaodao seemed to feel that although there were twists and turns in solving the Sun Mengwu case, it ended in a hasty manner. Isn't it too strange?
How could Li Baniang prepare Tianmoluo poison?
Could it be that, from the beginning, she was the nail that Zhuge Xianyu planted in Baihua Tower?
Otherwise, why would she make a deal with him in prison?
The crime she committed was already a mortal sin, but she only provided a clue to solve the case and escaped the sanction of the law.
At first, Fan Xiaodao thought that Shuntian Mansion had sold his favor, but it turned out that he was too simplistic!
Without Zhuge Xianyu's nod, Li Baniang would not have been able to get free.
If this is the case, things are complicated!
Fan Xiaodao even had the urge to restart the investigation of the Sun Mengwu case. However, this case had already been concluded. Li Zhixing was dead, Li Zhili admitted the crime, and now became Jin Yiwei's secret attendant. Now that he thinks about it, there are many doubts.
The plan to deal with the Ghost King Li Zhishan had been planned a few months ago.
Zhuge Xianyu was good at planning and then taking action, and his mind was as meticulous as Li Zhixing's back then.
If Zhuge Xianyu is the strongest king, in comparison, Yang Deshui's methods are only at the level of Bronze Three.
In this regard, Yang Deshui did not lose unjustly.
A subordinate came to report, "Sir, our people have surrounded the small courtyard and are just waiting for Banniang's signal."
Yang Deshui nodded, "Then wait."
The man disappeared again.
Zhuge Xianyu suddenly asked, "You mean, Jiangsu Governor Xu Ting also appeared in the Dragon Temple tonight?"
Fan Xiaodao said, "I also find it strange. It's just that I followed the Ghost King from Shenlong Temple, and Governor Xu is being watched by Zhao Xing. He has done things safely, and there should be results."
Zhuge Xianyu fell into deep thought.
Xu Ting appeared in the demon sect's gathering, and he was also carrying out assassination activities against His Majesty. This was beyond Zhuge Xianyu's expectation. He prided himself on having a perfect plan and knew the whereabouts, power, and layout of several major forces in the capital.
, so this action was taken.
Cooperate with His Majesty's holy scriptures and uproot the remnants of the party.
Zhuge Xianyu said: "From now on, you will be in charge of the overall situation here. Li Zhishan must die."
