There are several empty halls, with cobwebs sealing the doors.
The crows chirped loudly.
Standing among these desolate and dilapidated buildings, the tragic screams seem to be echoing in your ears.
A breeze passed by.
The air is filled with the smell of blood that seems to linger forever.
The old place of the Baihutang sect.
Before that terrible man arrived, this place was still a famous sect that dominated central Silla.
But three years ago, everything was burned down by that man's overwhelming anger.
A depression in the back mountain is filled with densely packed earth bags, more than 300 of them.
Under every dirt bag, there is a former disciple of the White Tiger Hall buried.
There isn't even a tombstone.
Just because they are all the souls killed by that terrifying man, who dares to erect a monument?
It seems that it is a great blessing to be buried in a hurry.
The former sect masters, deputy sect masters, protectors, and elders were all buried in this valley with ordinary disciples regardless of their superiority or inferiority.
I can no longer tell who is who.
They now only have one unified title.
The dead in Baihu Hall.
At this time, a woman about fifty years old, dressed in plain clothes, stared at the graves.
Her eyes were red and swollen from crying.
Because there is a husband who belongs to her in this dirt bag.
Although, she didn't know which bumpkin it was.
Beside him was a young man in a red shirt, who also had a serious look on his face. He looked at these bumpkins and shook his head and sighed from time to time. From time to time, he held the two swords at his waist and clenched his teeth.
These two people were Jin Caiping and Jin Youmin who came to express their condolences.
Jin Youmin once again spilled a handful of yellow paper and whispered: "Auntie, you don't have to be too sad. Now the Frost Flower Palace is under the control of the Red Maple Society, and the Bai Taixing couple have also been placed under house arrest.
Killing them can be considered as revenge for my uncle and Baihutang."
Jin Caiping sobbed: "But the person who caused this evil is...but..."
"It's Blood Shura." Jin Youmin gently stroked Jin Caiping's back, "If you want to seek revenge on that man, it's not realistic. It's extremely rare to be able to use Frost Flower Palace to sacrifice these dead souls."
Jin Caiping let out a long sigh and nodded slightly: "Min'er, it's not in vain that my aunt loves you. In the end, I still have to count on you for the task of revenge and revival."
"My aunt is serious. There are no outsiders here, so I can say these things directly. Since my mother passed away, you and Baihutang have raised me up. To be honest, I have long regarded Baihutang as my own home.
Now that the family is in ruins, it is only right that my nephew can do his little bit to revive the White Tiger Hall."
"They always talk about revival, what do they mean?" At this time, in the grass on the top of a hill on one side of the mountain valley, a woman murmured in a low voice.
White sunflower.
Su Wangting shook his head slightly and said softly: "Listen first, then speak."
At this time, Jin Caiping took out a handkerchief, wiped her eyes, and asked: "Where is the plan now? Is it going well?"
Jin Youmin nodded: "It went very smoothly. Cousin Pei Min has pretended to be pregnant, and Bai Jingxing obeyed her in everything and was treated obediently. A few days ago, I sent a message to my cousin Feiniao, and we agreed to meet her in ten days.
Take action."
"Oh? How to do it? Is it safe?"
Jin Youmin snorted softly and said: "My cousin has bribed the cook of Shuanghua Palace and will poison the food and well water ten days later. First, everyone will be unconscious! Then we will show up together with the remnants of the White Tiger Hall."
"Kill them all?"
There was a sinister smile on Jin Youmin's lips, and he nodded: "Blood debt must be paid with blood!! Except for the lives of Bai Taixing and his wife, who were used to lure Bai Kui to show up, the rest will be killed!! Then, the aunt will
You will burn the Frost Flower Palace to the ground with your own hands to relieve the hatred in your heart! When the remnants of the White Tiger Hall return to the sect, they will recruit more disciples and officially start the road to revival!!"
"Okay!!" Jin Caiping clapped her hands heavily, "At that time, Min'er will be able to return to the White Tiger Hall and assume the position of sect leader. I think her father knows about it, so it will be a little relieved."
As she spoke, Jin Caiping felt sad again and started sobbing.
Jin Youmin hurriedly comforted him: "Don't worry, aunt, when my cousin returns to the White Tiger Hall, I will definitely transfer some people from the Red Maple Society to help the White Tiger Hall revitalize the sect!"
After hearing these words, Bai Kui, who was hiding in the grass, broke into a cold sweat.
She never expected that seizing power was only the first step.
Their ultimate goal is to wipe out Frost Flower Palace!!
Su Wangting sneered and said: "Huh, interesting, there are still remnants of the White Tiger Hall?"
"What should I do?"
"Of course I want to catch them all! Huh, it seems that it is not appropriate to take action at this time. Let's keep these two alive for a few more days!"
…
Three days later in the morning, three figures walked towards the gate of Frost Flower Palace from the mist.
The one who took the lead was Yin Chengliang.
Behind him were a bearded man and a handsome boy with a mustache.
Being a bearded man is naturally Su Wangting's old trick in disguise.
And that pretty young boy is Bai Kui.
"Hey, Senior Brother Yin, you're back!" A gatekeeper disciple smiled and waved.
Yin Chengliang returned the smile: "I'm back! Hey, this trip didn't exhaust me to death."
"Huh? Where is Senior Brother Cui who is going with you? Who is following you?"
Yin Chengliang lied guiltily: "Senior Brother Cui... He said he was going back to visit relatives and would return to the sect in a month and a half. These two people, hehe, are my distant cousins. No, life is hard, I want to
They're crammed into our kitchen to help, and I heard there's a shortage of people."
The gatekeeper smiled and said, "Senior brother will find ways to help his relatives. Eh? This cousin of yours is so delicate. He looks small. The work in the kitchen is not light. Can he do it?"
The gatekeeper disciple was talking about Bai Kui, of course.
Seeing that Bai Kui just kept giggling and did not speak, the gatekeeper disciple asked in confusion: "This brother...could he be mute?"
"Oh, you are really right." Yin Chengliang leaned into his ear and pretended to whisper, "When I was young, my family was poor and had no money to hire a doctor. After a serious illness, my life was saved, but...
He became deaf and dumb."
After hearing this, the disciple guarding the door smacked his lips repeatedly: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, the poor people are here. Then why are you still standing there, just take them in quickly?"
So the three of them went straight to the kitchen of Frost Flower Palace.
Yin Chengliang stuffed some loose silver coins into the kitchen steward's hands, and successfully arranged for the two of them to work in the kitchen as helpers.
The kitchen manager's surname is He, and everyone calls him He Laoliu. He has a fat head, big ears, and squinty eyes, which makes him somewhat similar to a poisonous man.
And this He Laoliu was the subject of Su Wangting's serious suspicion.
Because during the few days he was pretending to be a helper in the kitchen, Su Wangting saw Pei Min coming three times.
Although she was clearly instructing He Laoliu to prepare some meals that were beneficial to pregnant women, it could be seen from the unnatural eye contact between the two of them that it was by no means as simple as simply ordering meals.
After all, she is the wife of the palace lord. If she wants to eat something, she can just ask the maid to come to the kitchen, so why come in person?
Sure enough, late that night, a fat figure walked into the kitchen.
After staying for a while, he sneaked towards the well again.
Su Wangting, who was hiding in the dark, was counting the days on his fingers. Today happened to be the ninth day since Baihutang left.
In other words, tomorrow is the day when the remnants of the White Tiger Hall prepare to take action!
No need to think about it, He Laoliu must be poisoning at this time!
But Su Wangting did not stop him, he just said to himself: "Hey, it seems that I won't be able to eat breakfast tomorrow. I'm going to be hungry."
Just as he was muttering, he suddenly felt the sound of slight footsteps coming from behind him.
Su Wangting was startled and turned around to see that it was Bai Kui and Yin Chengliang who came quickly out of the darkness.
Bai Kui looked a little out of breath and whispered: "Just now we went out for a walk, and sure enough, there were about thirty people hiding in the woods south of the sect in the dark."
Yin Chengliang added: "They should be the remnants of the White Tiger Hall. Because I can vaguely identify them. Most of those people have long swords on their backs."
Su Wangting nodded slightly: "Carrying the long sword behind your back is the style of the White Tiger Hall in the past. It seems that it can't be wrong."
"How about going to the forest and killing them now?" Bai Kui asked.
"No, it won't be time." Su Wangting shook his head slowly, "We don't know how many groups they were divided into, and whether Jin Youmin and Jin Caiping also arrived with them. If we act rashly, we will only alert the enemy.
. Let’s just go with the plan and don’t do anything for the time being. But we don’t dare to eat tomorrow’s breakfast because we will be hungry.”
Bai Kui touched her belly and said with a wry smile: "Just because you said that, I'm hungry now."
"Hey, there's no rush." Su Wangting had a smirk on his face and took out two oil paper bags from his arms, "I found them in the kitchen this afternoon. Don't worry, they weren't poisoned at that time."
When I opened the oil paper package, I saw two delicious roast chickens.
Su Wangting bared his teeth and smiled: "It will be dawn in a few hours, so the three of us will hide in the woodshed to fill our bellies."
Yin Chengliang shook his head and sighed: "Hey, eating roast chicken with Blood Shura in the middle of the night, tsk tsk tsk... I never expected that this would happen again in my life."
Bai Kui rolled her eyes: "Then don't eat it."
"No, I have to eat. I'm hungry too."
"Hey, hey, don't grab it..."
"Hush!! That Gourihe Laoliu is poisoning, don't scare him!!"
Bai Kui used her elbow to nudge Su Wangting, who was fighting for roast chicken with Yin Chengliang: "It's too late, I've already shocked him."
"What?"
Turning around, I saw He Laoliu holding a paper bag in his hand and looking at the three of them blankly.
"God!"
Su Wangting held his forehead and pushed Bai Kui: "Go, grab him and don't let him shout."
Bai Kui nodded and rushed over with a "swish" sound. Before He Laoliu could recover, she had already covered He Laoliu's mouth with one hand.
"If you don't want to die, don't shout."
He Laoliu was very frightened when he saw that this handsome boy who was deaf and mute actually spoke, and his voice was a woman's.
"Did you hear that!?" Bai Kui patted the long knife on her waist.
He Laoliu nodded fiercely.
Letting go of his hand, He Laoliu stared at Bai Kui with a horrified look on his face. He was stunned for a long time before saying in a trembling voice: "You... you are a woman?"
Bai Kui pulled off the fake beard and grabbed He Laoliu's ears: "Open your dog eyes and see who I am!?"
He Laoliu took a closer look and was half frightened.
He hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Young... Young Master, you are Young Master Bai..."
"Don't make a sound!"
After saying this, Bai Kui grabbed He Laoliu by the back collar and dragged him to the woodshed.
Su Wangting and Yin Chengliang followed closely behind.
As soon as he closed the firewood shed door, He Laoliu banged his head and said with tears and runny nose: "Young Master...you...please spare me, it was the new palace mistress who forced me to do this."
Who did this."
"Don't panic, we don't blame you." Su Wangting helped him up with a smile, "Have the kitchen and well been drugged?"
He Laoliu nodded.
"Very good. What kind of medicine was given?"
He Laoliu put down the paper bag in his hand with trembling hands, and said hesitantly: "Yes...it was given by the palace lord's wife. I don't know what kind of medicine it is. I just said it can make people faint without harming their lives."
"That Pei Min, how much benefit has it given you?"
He Laoliu lowered his head and whispered: "Three...three gold bars."
Su Wangting made a sound, his face darkened, and asked: "The three of us found out about your poisoning, will you report it to the palace lord's wife?"
"Oh, I don't dare, I don't dare!"
"It's best for you to pretend that nothing happened and just go ahead and give the medicine when it's time to do it. Do you understand?"
"Ah...ah?" He Laoliu was confused.
Su Wangting stood up and walked around He Laoliu: "I remember that ever since my master passed away, you always served me sour leftovers on purpose. Haha, I had no shortage of food at that time.
I have diarrhea. You really made me suffer from diarrhea."
He Laoliu was confused after hearing these words, and asked blankly: "I... have persecuted you? Dare I ask... who are you?"
"Don't recognize me?"
He Laoliu stared at Su Wangting and slowly shook his head: "No...I don't remember."
Su Wangting sneered and pulled off the beard on his face.
"ah!!"
He Laoliu exclaimed and fell to the ground.
"You...you are Su...Su Wangting!! You are Blood Shura!!!"
"So, did you hear clearly what I just said?"
He Laoliu suddenly turned over and kowtowed, while kowtowing, he cried and said: "Listen clearly, listen clearly! As long as you don't remember that I grieved for you and spared my life, whatever you say, I will do it."
What!!"
"Very good." Su Wangting raised the corner of his mouth and sat on the pile of firewood with his legs crossed. "How many wells are there still unmedicated?"
"Three...three places..."
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and get some medicine! If there's anyone in Frost Flower Palace who hasn't been charmed tomorrow morning, I'll take it from you!!"
He Laoliu was startled again when he heard this, scratched his head and asked: "You... are you on the side of the palace master's wife, or on the side of Shuanghua Palace? Xiao... why do you become more and more confused the more you listen?"
"If you say any more nonsense, maybe the news about seeing the three of us will leak out..."
After a pause, Su Wangting bared his teeth and smiled.
"You must be careful!!"
He Laoliu trembled all over, and without saying a word, he rushed out of the woodshed with the packet of poison in his arms.
