Chapter 74 The battle begins

For several days, except for the scattered scouts, Cheng Jinmen seemed to be in seclusion.

The calm surface of the river is surrounded by turbulent undercurrents.

What outsiders don’t know is that Cheng Jinmen has gained four more top-notch masters.

What outsiders don't know is that Cheng Jinmen's life these days depends entirely on hunting and gathering wild vegetables.

What outsiders don't know is that a large number of subordinates have been dispatched one after another.

…

Yang Fan held a wooden bowl and sipped the porridge. He ate the wild vegetables with gusto, even though they were tasteless.

My uncle Cheng Song smiled and said, "Is it delicious?"

Yang Fan shook his head.

Cheng Song: "Then you still eat so well?"

Yang Fan smiled and said: "Have you ever heard a sentence?"

Cheng Song: "What?"

Yang Fan: "Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain."

Cheng Song was stunned for a moment, then began to sip and eat with relish.

Yang Fan asked: "You said you have a huge village with more than a hundred laborers, but how come you don't even have enough food to eat?"

Cheng Song sighed: "A warrior can conservatively eat one tael and eighty taels of silver a day. These more than a hundred people have to eat 200 taels of silver a day. Someone did an experiment and burned our living expenses for a month. Do you think you can eat it?"

Wild vegetables?”

Yang Fan coughed twice and kept silent.

Cheng Song smiled and said, "Why did you send everyone out?"

Yang Fan smiled and said: "I'm afraid that if there are too many people competing for food with me, I won't be able to have enough to eat. Do you believe it?"

Cheng Song: "Of course I don't believe it. You won't even take my sister's share of the meal."

Yang Fan said: "If we send them out, everyone can more or less eat at the cheap price of the mountains and forests. I really mean this, but of course this is not the real idea. I guess it is time for the disciples of Poison Valley to take action. With Poison Valley

It is not a problem to poison hundreds of people with his technology. At that time, Ye Gonggong will definitely be attracted to hunt him all over the world, and the people I send out can return to their home base in Yemen."

Cheng Song: "Then why did you keep me here and send my sister out?"

Yang Fan smiled and said: "Are you questioning me because you think I don't care about your sister, or are you questioning me because you think keeping you here is an insult to you because you are overqualified?"

Cheng Song paused and said, "It seems a little bit."

Yang Fan smiled brightly and said: "It is known to the world that the disciples of Poison Valley are good at using poison. Although the martial arts of the disciples of Poison Valley are not as good as those of the Yemen clan leader, I predict that Jiang Ningzi will not die. No matter it is Jiang Ning

Is the son going to kill Ye Gonggong to find the second half of my secret book, or is he going to find me after seeing through my scheme? In short, he will definitely come to me, and when he gets there

At that time, he and I will have a life-and-death duel. This kind of duel has nothing to do with the number of people or the level of martial arts. Qing Qing, Bian Dan and Qi Fan, the further away they are, the more liberal I will be, so I support

I left your sister to protect him, not because I don't feel sorry for her. The direction I sent her to had nothing to do with fighting, she was just out for an outing."

Cheng Song smiled and said: "You are very thoughtful. Now I know that you left me to fight alongside you."

Yang Fan smiled and said: "If it's super expert Ye Gonggong, I really need you, but if it's Jiang Ningzi, I advise you to stay away from me when watching the battle. Your 'fighting side by side' can't help me, it can only cause trouble."

."

Cheng Song said angrily: "Who do you look down on?"

Yang Fan smiled and said: "I'm sorry! Because you are a master of poison, so I don't look down on you, I look down on everyone."

Cheng Song:……

Yang Fan said seriously: "To tell you the truth, when I was practicing martial arts when I was a child, my grandfather would let me take a bath with poison in it. Later I found out that this method was inspired by Du Gu's "Poison Sutra". After this kind of tempering

, my body is resistant to poison, which means that in the entire world, I am the only one who can fight normally with the people in the Poison Valley."

Cheng Song wondered: "Since there's no fight, why did you keep me?"

Yang Fan: "You are Cheng Jinmen's real eldest brother in name only. If I don't leave you to sit in the rear, wouldn't I be taking over the throne?"

Cheng Song chuckled, "It seems to make some sense."

Rolling white smoke suddenly rose from the bandits' veins. Yang Fan raised his eyes and his expression suddenly changed.

Yang Fan shouted: "Quick! Pigeon! The message." He grabbed a piece of paper and wrote a few words. Cheng Song grabbed the white pigeon from the cage, rolled the paper into a nail, inserted the tube and let it fly.

Yang Fan murmured: "It seems that I have to look for Jiang Ningzi. If he takes the initiative to come to Cheng Jinmen to release poisonous smoke, the gain will outweigh the loss."

Cheng Song: "What?"

Yang Fan smiled and said: "I said I have to climb the mountain in Yemen."

Cheng Song: "Isn't the winner not yet decided?"

Yang Fan: "For me, the outcome is decided."

Cheng Song asked: "Who wins, Jiang Ningzi or Ye Gonggong?"

Yang Fan smiled brightly and said, "We won."

Cheng Song couldn't help but giggle.

Returning to Yemen Village, a white pigeon fluttered into the forest and stopped beside the ditch.

Jiang Ningzi looked at the village with a fire fold and sneered again and again. The dead branches and broken wood were clattering, but Jiang Chengzi poured some clean water on them and suppressed the open flame. Immediately, large plumes of white smoke rose up.

Rise in the wind.

This is the poisonous smoke that Jiang Chengzi has prepared for several days.

The east wind has arrived, and naturally everything is ready, all that is left is to light the fire.

The white smoke is lingering on the mountain.

Not long after, a bandit who returned to Yemen fell to the ground with foam at the mouth, followed by two, three, ten, and a hundred.

As the saying goes: When smoke climbs high, its nose sticks to the ground. This is the method of firefighting. But when poisonous smoke climbs a mountain from bottom to top, where can it stick to the ground to avoid it?

There are more and more smoke mounds burning in Jiangningzi, and more and more bandits are falling on the mountain.

Jiang Ningzi whistled and strolled up the mountain, admiring his masterpiece. From time to time, he kicked and stabbed the fallen bandits.

Evil people often know how to do things by following the good, so when they meet Cheng Jinmen, Jiang Ningzi blocks the door directly. When he meets Guiyemen, he kills first and then talks. If they are similar in strength, they can take drastic measures. If they are very different in strength, they can only strike first and be stronger.

A man in the middle of the grass patted his chest and sighed to the handsome young man next to him: "The third master! Fortunately, we followed your instructions and moved back from the downwind, otherwise we would have suffered heavy losses. The third master is really wise."

The third leader is naturally Qi Fan.

Qi Fan chuckled and said: "It's not me who is wise, it's the second master who is wise."

The man asked curiously: "Isn't the second master in the village? How does he know the situation here?"

Qi Fan smiled and said: "He is called strategizing and winning from thousands of miles away."

The man reminded: "Don't forget that our leader's surname is Cheng."

Qi Fan chuckled and said, "Don't forget that he is your uncle, we are one family."

The man nodded and asked, "What should we do next?"

Qi Fan: "Just wait and watch."

On the mountain peak, Jiang Ningzi smiled and nodded to the man in white.

The man in white nodded in response.

Jiang Ningzi asked: "Are you Ye Gonggong?"

Ye Gonggong's voice was sharp and soft, "I'm just wondering how I offended your sect and why you killed so many of my subordinates?"

Jiang Ningzi didn't answer and asked instead: "Promoted to a special level?"

Ye Gonggong smiled and said: "The Emperor lives up to his hard work and eventually becomes a master. But what I didn't expect was that disaster and joy would come together."

Jiang Ningzi said: "Hand over the secret book and I will spare your life."

Ye Gonggong laughed loudly and said solemnly: "People in the world are afraid of you Dugu people, not because of your martial arts, but because of your poison skills. It's not because you can't kill you, but because they are afraid of troublesome people like you. Now I have reached the special level.

, it’s not impossible to kill you, but when the time comes to wander around the world, I won’t be able to go anywhere? Why should I hand over the secret book? Why should you spare my life?”

Jiang Ningzi smiled and said: "Your people are either dead or have no fighting ability. Are you sure you can kill me alone? To say the least, are you sure you can keep me alone?"

Ye Gonggong: "What's the problem if you just kill all my men? The cleaner you kill, the cleaner I pick, and the easier I can walk. As for whether I can kill you, I can only tell you that the special

They are all ants. There is one more thing I might as well tell you, I am actually good at Qinggong. Do you think I can keep you like this?" After saying this, his figure fluttered, and a palm from the sky slapped Jiang Ningzi's body.

.

Jiang Ningzi narrowed his eyes and hurriedly used his martial arts to resist, but was still hit and fell back three feet. Jiang Ningzi flipped backwards and unloaded his force, barely landing on the ground.

Ye Gonggong would miss the good opportunity. He stepped on her feet repeatedly, and the shadows were numerous and erratic, hitting Jiang Ningzi one after another from the air.

How dare people underestimate the poisonous valley's reputation? Even if it consumes more internal energy, Ye Gonggong is unwilling to come into contact with it.
