"I understand." Xu Jingzong took the warrant and hurried away.
"I hope there is still time." Yang Su gritted his teeth and said to himself.
After thinking for a while, Yang Su asked people to call the Twelve Iron Guards, and ordered them to hide their identities and destroy the Black Snake Gang.
One of Yang Su's Twelve Iron Guards was killed by Wang Junlin in Chunnv Building, but Yang Su has countless masters, so it's not difficult to find another master from the foundation building period or even the stagnation period to fill in.

"Old Mo, Nighthawk should have known in advance that there was an assassination of Marquis Qin An by thieves tonight. Tell me why you didn't inform Wang Junlin of the news." Yang Lihua asked Mo Jiuhan sharply at Princess Leping's mansion.
Mo Jiuhan always had a kind expression on his face, and said: "Your Highness, the Black Snake Gang's people got a strong crossbow and a eight-ox crossbow from Yang Rong, the grandson of the Yue Kingdom, and used them to assassinate Wang Junlin. Although Ying knew about it in advance, Qin Anhou recently wanted to get rid of his dependence on Nighthawk, and because these thieves couldn't kill Qin Anhou at all, so he didn't inform Qin Anhou."
Yang Lihua said angrily: "You want Wang Junlin to suffer, and then come to ask Ye Ying to continue to help him."
Mo Jiuhan didn't say anything, but he acquiesced to the matter.
Yang Lihua snorted coldly, and said: "If you have such an idea, I'm afraid you will be disappointed. Because with Qin Anhou's character, he will never come to ask Yeying for help again. Because you have been carrying me behind your back these days It is impossible for him not to know about the little tricks he did, so we want to use him to kill people like Yang Su, and in the end we will only take the initiative to send them to his door to be used by him."
When Mo Jiuhan heard the words, he frowned. After pondering for a while, he finally sighed and said, "It's the old slave who didn't think carefully. Please punish him, Your Highness."
Yang Lihua sighed, and said: "What is the punishment? You are also loyal and eager to avenge my husband and family, so you do these things."
Mo Jiuhan also sighed, and said, "Then what shall we do in the future?"
Yang Lihua thought for a while, and said: "Forget it, since he is already wary of Nighthawk, you should not take the initiative to inquire about information for him, unless he asks us for help in the future. However, from now on, all information After sorting it out, I have to see it myself."

Wang Junlin was assassinated, and Jin Wang Yang Zhao came to visit on behalf of the royal family at dawn the next day. His words not only represented Yang Jian's concern, but also the greetings of Prince Yang Guang and Princess Yang Lihua.
"Junlin, when I just came out of the palace, there was urgent news from Bingzhou eight hundred miles away that the magic doctor Sun Simiao's fairy trail has finally been found, and he will be able to arrive in the capital in three days. The imperial grandmother is saved now. Uh... ...This is something that the royal grandfather asked me to give you, and it is said to be a relic left by the Yin Lord of Kunlun." After Yang Zhao said the words of the three big men verbatim, he couldn't wait, and his face was full of joy. Tell Wang Junlin about the good news. At the same time, he handed over a sandalwood box to Wang Junlin.
Wang Junlin was greatly surprised, but then a memory suddenly appeared in his mind, causing his pupils to shrink slightly and his heart to jump wildly.
According to historical records, Sun Simiao, a genius doctor, appeared in the capital of the Sui Dynasty. Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty Yang Jian invited him to the palace to see the seriously ill Empress Dugu. As a result, Empress Dugu died the next day. Yang Jian wanted to kill Sun Simiao, but the latter disappeared mysteriously. . The most important thing is that on the day Queen Dugu died, there was a solar eclipse. There were rumors that Queen Dugu was the reincarnation of Mulian's mother (note!), who turned into a tengu after death, wanting to eat the sun, and plunge the world into darkness forever. Because of this rumor, the Sui Dynasty was in a bloodbath and the court was in turmoil.
Forcibly suppressing the agitation in his heart caused by the appearance of this memory, Wang Junlin took the sandalwood box handed to him by Yang Zhao, opened it casually, and felt a chill rush over his face.
"This is...a piece of legendary cold jade, no! It's not just cold jade, it's a piece of cold chalcedony." Wang Junlin was greatly surprised, and reached out his hand to hold the white jade with a faint icy mist on it. hands.
The next moment, an icy chill spread from his right hand to his whole body.
Suddenly, Wang Junlin felt another completely different coldness coming from his chest. At first, he only felt the coldness, and then it became colder and colder at a very fast speed. After ten breaths, Wang Junlin shivered , his face changed, and he touched the blood jade pendant on his chest that had mutated for some reason, the cold feeling dissipated, but the next moment the inner qi and true energy in his dantian began to riot, and ran wildly in the meridians.
Wang Junlin could not help but let out a scream from the severe pain from the tearing of the meridian. Yang Zhao was startled. in wooden box.
Wang Junlin was originally standing in the yard with Yang Zhao, but at this moment he sat cross-legged on the ground to practice breath adjustment and suppress the true energy in his body.
At this moment, a kind of enlightenment came to his mind instantly - this is the sequelae left after he practiced this nameless exercise with the Dao Seed of Changkuzi in the city of Gaochang in the Western Region at the beginning of the year by chance , I don't know why, it was triggered by the cold chalcedony at this time.
This is a catastrophe for Wang Junlin. If he survives, his cultivation can be regarded as truly successful. The opportunities are limitless, otherwise, life and death will disappear.
Puff! Wang Junlin suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turned pale in an instant, and he muttered to himself: "The sky net is restored, and it is sparse but not leaked. Yesterday's punishment was not escaped."
As soon as the words fell, Wang Junlin fell into the arms of Jin Wang Yang Zhao who looked horrified.
Wang Junlin suddenly passed out, and there was a sudden chaos in the backyard of Wufu Tea House. Shen Guang, Zhan Peng, Niu Jinda, and Shen Guoer rushed over immediately, and everyone hurriedly carried Wang Junlin to the bedroom , Yang Zhao sent his guard Kuaima to call the imperial doctor in his mansion.
The imperial doctor hurried over, put his hand on Wang Junlin's wrist, frowned and thought for a long time, and said, "Qin Anhou's illness is strange, and his pulse is also very strange. Prepare some medicine to replenish vitality."
After speaking, the imperial doctor prescribed the medicine without waiting for others to say anything, and ordered the medicine slaves who came with him to decoct the medicine quickly.
After the medicine was cooked, Wang Junlin just woke up, but after drinking the soup, he fell asleep again, his face became more rosy, and he seemed to be better. Yang Zhaochang heaved a sigh of relief and asked, "Junlin What is going on with you, why do you suddenly vomit blood, and after being seriously injured, you seem to have fallen ill again?"
Wang Junlin lay on the bed, looked at Yang Zhao, shook his head in horror and said: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed."
Yang Zhao suddenly figured out something, or had some guesses, and at the same time his complexion changed drastically, his obese body was instantly sweating like rain.
After Yang Zhao was hurried away with the help of his two guards, Wang Junlin called Shen Guang, Zhan Peng, and Niu Jinda in for a private conversation for half an hour, and gave them some detailed instructions.
Not long after the three of them left, Wang Junlin pondered for a while, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he muttered to himself: "This is a great opportunity to avoid disaster and get as much benefit as possible. Test your heart in an instant."
As soon as the words fell, Wang Junlin took out a pill from his bosom and swallowed it.
Half an hour later, Wang Junlin's body suddenly became hot. The imperial doctor of the Jin Palace followed Yang Zhao's order and kept guard in the next room. Hearing the news, he heard Wang Junlin's heavy breathing, He hurriedly ordered someone to continuously pour cold water on Wang Junlin's forehead, and the two maids in Wang Junlin's mansion also wiped Wang Junlin's groin and armpits with cotton cloth dipped in spirits.
Note: Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a son named "Mulian". Born good Buddha, kind-hearted. She is very filial to her mother, but Mulian's mother, as a concubine, is violent by nature and likes and dislikes others.
Once, Mulian's mother had a sudden whim and came up with an evil idea: the monk chanted Buddha's name and became a vegetarian. I'm going to make fun of them and eat dog meat. She ordered to make 360 dog meat buns, which she said were vegetarian buns, and she wanted to go to the monastery for fasting. When Mulian knew about this, he persuaded his mother not to listen, and hurriedly sent someone to inform the abbot of the monastery. The abbot prepared three hundred and sixty vegetarian steamed buns. Hidden in the sleeves of each monk's cassock. Mulian's mother came to give alms, and gave each monk a dog meat steamed bun. When the monk recited the Buddha's name before meals, he replaced the steamed buns with dog meat with the plain steamed buns in his sleeve, and then ate them. Seeing all the monks eating her steamed buns, Mulian's mother clapped her hands and laughed loudly and said, "The monk is dizzy today! The monk is eating dog meat steamed buns!" The abbot clasped his hands together and said repeatedly: "Amitabha, sin, Sin!" Afterwards, 360 steamed buns with dog meat were buried behind the temple.
When the Jade Emperor found out about this, he was very angry. Put Mulian's mother down to the 18th floor of **** and turn into a vicious dog, who will never be reborn forever.
Mulian is a dutiful son who learned that his mother was sent to hell. He practiced day and night and finally became Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. In order to save his mother, he opened the gate of **** with a tin rod. Mulian's mother and all the evil spirits escaped from **** and were reborn in the mortal world to cause chaos. The Jade Emperor was furious and ordered Mu Lian to go down to earth and join Huang Chao. Later, "Huangchao killed eight million people", it is said that they came to collect these evil spirits who escaped from hell.
Mulian's mother turned into a vicious dog. After escaping from hell, because she hated the Jade Emperor very much, she rushed to the heaven to find the Jade Emperor to settle accounts. She couldn't find the Jade Emperor in the sky, so she chased after the sun and the moon, trying to devour them and turn the heaven and earth into a world of darkness. This vicious dog chased and chased him day and night! When she chased the moon, she swallowed the moon; when she chased the sun, she swallowed the sun. However, the vicious dog that Mulian's mother had turned into was most afraid of gongs, drums, and firecrackers. The sun and moon that the vicious dog swallowed were so frightened that they had to spit them out again. After the sun and the moon were rescued, the sun and the moon shine together again and run again. Unwilling to reconcile, the vicious dog chased after it again, thus forming solar and lunar eclipses in the sky again and again. The folks call it "the dog eats the sun" and "the dog eats the moon". Until now, during solar and lunar eclipses, many urban and rural people still have the custom of beating gongs, drums and setting off firecrackers to drive away the tengu.
PS: Because there are rumors that Queen Dugu is the reincarnation of Mulian's mother, this remark is crucial to the climax of the following plot.
