Chapter 109: All Conspiracy

  After finishing writing a letter, Zhu Youxiao carefully blew dry the ink marks and then handed the letter to Fu Bo.

  Fu Bo had just put the letter into his bosom when he heard a loud shout: "Zhu Youdun, you betrayed us for your own glory and wealth, today is your day of death!"

  Zhu Youhao raised his head and saw that He Qitian and the five others were rushing towards him. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, but he remained seated, unmoving.

  Fu Bo kicked away a bench in front of him with one foot and then rushed towards He Qizheng.

  Among the five people who came, Fu Bo knew them all. Only He Qi Tian was a master of Da Ding, while the other four, Jiu Ying, Xue Ying, Tu Ying and Yun Ying, were only at the level of Jiu Zhong Ding.

  For a master of the Three Great Dantians, the Nine Middle Dantian is indeed only "the Nine Middle Dantian".

  However, the three major Tripod Cauldrons are also human, and it is said that two fists cannot defeat four hands. One Ninth-Grade Tripod Cauldron is indeed just "that's all", but four Ninth-Grade Tripod Cauldron masters can put pressure on the three major Tripod Cauldron masters.

  What can defeat a thousand, coming and going freely in the midst of thousands of troops and horses, is just an ordinary person's imagination. A martial artist trains his muscles, bones, and skin externally, and trains his breath internally, which simply means that his strength, speed, and reaction are far superior to those of an ordinary person. If you insist on saying how powerful or against the heavens he is, it's impossible.

  Fu Bo directly took He Qi's waterfall, the purpose is to capture the thief first, and then quickly kill He Qi with a thunderous blow. The remaining four will not make any big noise.

  However, the last time He Qizheng was defeated by Fu Bo in three moves was because he didn't expect Fu Bo to suddenly attack him. But now it's different, under He Qizheng's full guard, although he can't beat Fu Bo, it's also impossible for Fu Bo to defeat him in a few moves.

  Fu Bo's martial arts skills were honed in the imperial palace, and his skills are actually quite ordinary, just the Iron Sand Palm that has been circulating in Jianghu for a long time. However, Fu Bo entered the palace as a child and inadvertently obtained the secret book of this skill while sweeping the south study room of the imperial palace. From then on, he worked hard to practice, and finally succeeded in mastering this martial art.

  His pair of hands looked ordinary, but in fact, knives and swords were hard to withstand a single point, and they were extremely fierce.

  As they spoke, Fu Bo had already exchanged over a dozen moves with He Qi Tuo. He Qi Tuo relied on his agility to dodge and weave, not daring to engage in a fierce battle with Fu Bo. Meanwhile, the eagles and others charged towards Zhu You Zhang together.

  Four men, four daggers. With the intention of killing him, they rushed towards Zhu Youjian, but Zhu Youjian seemed to be completely unaware of all this, and he even picked up a cup of clear wine from the table and took a sip.

  It's close. The four daggers were only a millimeter away from Zhu Youxiao, and just as they were about to strike, he finally moved. His entire body leaned back to dodge the four daggers, then his hands flashed out like lightning, striking out with four palms, sending the four people flying backward.

  "Will he make a move?" Eagle and Blood Eagle exclaimed in unison.

  Always gentle and weak, coughing twice after walking two steps, Zhu Youxiao, who looks like he can be blown down by the wind, actually has martial arts skills.

  "Pfft!" Zuo Xun and the others spat out a mouthful of blood, only then did they realize that Zhu Yingtai not only knew martial arts, but his skills were also quite impressive.

  But now that things have come to this, they would only feel at ease if they killed Zhu Youjian even if it meant certain death. The four eagles exchanged a glance and charged towards Zhu Youjian once again.

  Zhu Youdang kicked the table in front of him flying towards the eagle, then his right hand grasped a few chopsticks that popped into the air. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh... The sound of breaking through the air, those chopsticks seemed like several flying knives accurately hitting the five major acupoints on the eagle's chest.

  Xue Ying was no ordinary person, and with a swift slash of his dagger, the five chopsticks were sent flying. However, at this moment, an even more piercing sound cut through the air once again, and Xue Ying looked up to see that one of the chopsticks had transformed into a streak of light that was hurtling towards him.

  Xue Ying's reaction was extremely fast, his left hand grasped the chopstick that was attacking his left chest. The force of that one chopstick was so great that Xue Ying couldn't stabilize himself and took a few steps back, and after he tightly grasped it, the chopstick still managed to drill forward for a short distance, directly grinding Xue Ying's left hand bloody.

  Xue Ying threw down his chopsticks, just as he was about to make another move, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest. He violently spat out a mouthful of dark red blood, and then fell to the ground with a thud. As he lay dying, Xue Ying muttered one last sentence: "He deceived me."

  At the same time, the eagles, vultures, cloud eagles and He Qiyan also spewed out red blood with blackness, and then fell to the ground together.

  Zhu Youhao stood still, looking at He Qitian and the others who had clearly just died. He furrowed his brow, still thinking about what had happened when a group of people suddenly ran up from the bottom floor of the Yunlou Inn.

  Led by Jiang Xia and Zhang Yong, followed by Zhong Bin and a group of Brocade Guards.

  "Ah, heavens! Your Highness, please forgive me, your humble servant has arrived late to save you, please forgive me!"

  Zhu You furrowed his brow and didn't speak, wanting to see what kind of trick Zhang Yong and Jiang Xia were going to play.

  Only then did Zhang Yong kick the corpses of Blood Eagle and his men a few times, saying: "A few dog things are quite capable, and they actually escaped from the Jin Yiwei's prison. Fortunately, Wang Ye's martial arts are high, and he defeated five great masters with one enemy."

  Zhang Yong faced Zhu Youxiao with a clenched fist, and said with a sigh of admiration: "Admiration, admiration, it's really admirable to make me surrender completely."

  Jiang Xia also made a fist at Zhu Youxiao and said loudly: "The king is indeed a real person who doesn't show his true form, such martial arts can be called unparalleled in the world, it's really formidable, I admire him, admire him..."

  Zhu Youhao's eyes sank to the extreme, and now he didn't understand what kind of trick Jiang Xia was playing.

  He deliberately released He Qizhen and others, not to rely on He Qizhen to kill himself, but to let He Qizhen die in his own hands under the bright sun and in full view of everyone. When He Qizhen was killed by him, the news would spread quickly, and at that time, the remnants of the Tianji Society would regard themselves as enemies and recklessly assassinate him.

  The Tianji Society was originally a hidden blade cultivated by Zhu Youxiao, but now it has turned against him. Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao felt bitter and couldn't explain himself clearly. The matter had already been settled, and he had to take the credit for killing He Qizong. So, Zhu Youxiao smiled and clasped his fists at Zhang Yong and Jiang Xia, saying: "This rebel's death is not worth mourning, I, as a member of the royal family, am just doing my duty, you two are overpraising me."

  Jiang Xia smiled slightly and turned to look at Zhang Yong. Zhang Yong also smiled and said to Zhu Youxiao, "Your Highness, since the rebels have been killed, I will take their bodies back to report. I bid farewell."

  "Walk slowly, Lord Zhang," said Zhu Youxiao.

  Jiang Xia smiled at Zhu Youxiao and then turned to leave. Zhu Youxiao looked at Jiang Xia with a gloomy face, and suddenly felt some regret in his heart.

  Knowing that Zhu Houxi would surely die, but he himself had offended such a clever person by avenging him, was truly unwise. Watching Jiang Xia and the others leave, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but add another sentence in his heart. This person is not only clever, but also shameless.

  He not only released He Qizhen twice, but it was also obvious that He Qizhen and the others would suddenly die of poisoning, which was also his doing. Open and secret moves were made at the same time, and both conspiracy and strategy were used, this is indeed a difficult person to deal with.

  Moreover, Zhu Youxiao also guessed that Jiang Xia was previously unaware of his own martial arts skills. He deliberately brought in He Qiutu and Siying, and his purpose might have been to use He Qiutu and Siying to kill himself.

  Someone once said that the person who knows you best is not yourself, nor your relatives, but precisely your enemy. Indeed, as soon as Jiang Xia walked out of the Yun Ge Inn, he clenched his fists and shouted: "Damn it, what a pity! I didn't expect that despicable woman to know martial arts."

  "I didn't expect that either. It seems that his usual weak appearance was all an act, and this King Xing is hiding a lot." Zhang Yong sighed.

  After finishing speaking, Zhang Yong looked at Jiang Xia with interest and said: "Brother Jiang, you've already messed him up so badly that he's all flustered and bewildered. Are you going to stop now or continue to play with him?"

  "Hmm!" Jiang Xia hummed softly and smiled slightly: "Zhang brother, do you know what my life motto is?"

  "What?" Zhang Yong asked.

  "Jiang Xia said: 'You respect me by an inch, I will repay you with a foot. You move against me by a fraction of an inch, I will kill your entire family!'"

  Jiang Xia said that Zhang Yong couldn't help but understand that he was not going to let Zhu Youxiao off, so Zhang Yong asked: "What's next?"

  Jiang Xia looked at Zhang Yong and couldn't help but laugh too. "Still the old trick..."

  Zhang Yong was slightly stunned and before Jiang Xia finished speaking, he added: "You won't be thinking of letting Zhu Houxi go again, will you?"

  "That's right."

  Jiang Xia saw that Zhang Yong didn't understand why he made such a decision, so he explained: "Zhu Houxi once told me that Zhu Youxiao had a token called 'Tianji Token'. That token was the symbol of the Tianji Society, and seeing it was like seeing the leader himself. Moreover, inside the token was sealed a golden scroll written by Zhu Youxiao and He Qizhen when they became sworn brothers. If we get that thing, Zhu Youxiao will definitely die. We let Zhu Houxi go, tell him that if he steals the 'Tianji Token', we'll spare his life, and he'll certainly take a desperate risk."

  "Could Zhu Hou Xi really steal the 'Tian Ji Order' from Zhu You Xiang, who was known for his exceptional martial arts skills?" Zhang Yong asked, somewhat incredulous.

  Jiang Xia smiled slightly and said, "It's just a gamble, anyway. We won't lose anything. Who knows, we might even get a surprise."

  Zhang Yong looked at Jiang Xia and shook his head, sighing: "If I were Zhu Youxiao, I'd probably be regretting messing with you right now. How come I didn't realize earlier that you're such a cunning kid?"

  "Can't you say something clever for once?" Jiang Xia said with a pout, dissatisfied.
