A Thousand Enlightenments in One Night, Starting From Being a Menial Apprentice

Chapter 367: Poisonous Plot

In the secret room, this group of guys tossed around for more than an hour.

When the billowing smoke gradually dissipated, there were only fourteen dried corpses left on the altar in the center of the altar.

As these people were tidying up their clothes, the stone door over there had slowly opened, and a group of men in black had walked in and carried the female corpse on the altar out.

After everyone tidied up their clothes, they slowly walked out of the secret room, but they did not walk out along the stone steps, but turned and came to another secret room next to the altar.

This is already a routine for this group of people after the dinner. This dinner is held once every half a month. In addition to practicing, they also discuss matters together.

These fourteen people are the helmsmen of various forces. They meet once every half a month. First, they report to Sun Qian on the progress of various aspects. Second, if there are any difficult and miscellaneous matters, they can also raise them at this time so that everyone can work together.

In this secret room, there are only stone tables and stone chairs, nothing else.

The stone table was very large, almost covering half of the area of ​​the secret room, and fourteen stone chairs were placed around the stone table.

As soon as everyone sat down, several maids came with specially made silver plates and silver cups, holding ginseng tea and placing them in front of everyone.

When the maid placed the silver cup of ginseng tea in front of Xu Dongyang, Xu Dongyang stared at the maid's white neck for a while, and the excitement in the mandala just now had not faded from his heart.

Many people looked at the silver cup of ginseng tea in front of them, and their eyes moved.

This is ginseng tea made from blood ginseng that is hundreds of years old. This thing is not easy to get.

And in order to reassure everyone, Sun Qian specially used a silver cup to hold the tea. Everyone sipped the ginseng tea while appreciating his kindness.

Then, they began to discuss matters, and as usual, they reported to Sun Qian one by one in order.

Sun Qian had a smile on his face, and he was groping the edge of the silver cup with his fingertips while listening to their reports carefully. He would stop from time to time to ask a few questions.

In less than an hour, more than ten people had finished their reports.

They had each taken over their own business for a long time. Xu Dian, who entered Xiangu County the latest, had taken over the weapons shop for nearly a year.

Various businesses have long been on track.

After everyone reported, Sun Qian would usually give them some suggestions. He would not say one after each report, and would not speak out until everyone had finished reporting.

When he spoke at this time, he never named people, and he could often hit the nail on the head with just a few words. Although he did not name people, the person knew who he was talking about as soon as he heard it.

This was also the reason why everyone obeyed him. With this kind of mind and intelligence, none of them could do it.

Everyone was waiting for Sun Qian's suggestions after listening to the report, but Sun Qian coughed and said, "Something happened recently, and I want to discuss it with the brothers."

Sun Qian suddenly looked at Ruan Fengshan and said, "Fengshan, you should tell me."

Ruan Fengshan said, "Yes, big brother."

Everyone sitting around the stone table looked at Ruan Fengshan with confusion, wondering what happened.

Ruan Fengshan said: "Brothers, this matter is still a bit tricky. You all know that more than half a month ago, there was a rebellion in my Yuanshun Escort Agency. Fortunately, with the help of all the brothers, all the people who started the rebellion were killed that night!"

"But..." Ruan Fengshan changed the subject and said: "The person who led the riot in the escort agency was Xiao Zongting. He has a daughter named Xiao Yu and a disciple named Duan Rong. Three years ago, they all became registered disciples of the sect. Just yesterday afternoon, they returned to Xiangu County."

Xu Dian took a sip of ginseng tea and said: "Three years ago, they entered the sect. So now they are back, are they registered disciples or outer disciples?"

Ruan Fengshan glanced at Xu Dian and said: "Brother Xu, you really asked the key question."

"I have asked Lao Xu to send a secret letter to the hall. I estimate that there will be news in the next two or three days. But..." Ruan Fengshan said this, and his tone suddenly became heavy. "According to my understanding, the one called Duan Rong should have a high probability of becoming an outer disciple."

At this time, Sun Qian suddenly said: "If they are all registered disciples dismissed by the sect, it will be much easier. We can just wipe them out under siege. But if they are outer disciples, such as Duan Rong, we have to be cautious. An outer disciple was released after three years and was killed just after returning to his hometown to visit relatives. Although this place is remote, the sect will probably conduct a strong investigation, which is very disadvantageous to us!"

Ruan Fengshan said: "What my brother and I discussed is whether we can set up a trap to scare him away."

Sun Qian smiled and said: "That's exactly what I meant. Brothers, if you have any ideas or suggestions, please tell me."

"Scare him away?!"

Many people showed puzzled expressions on their faces. How can it be so easy to set up a trap that can scare away a strong man in the true qi realm?

At this time, Bai Rong suddenly smiled and said, "I have an idea. Brothers, you can listen to it."

Ruan Fengshan immediately became interested, looked at Bai Rong, and said, "Brother Bai Rong, please tell me."

Bai Rong said: "Just think of a way to get that kid to Huaying Tower. With the charm of the four enchantresses, I guarantee he can't stand it. When the time comes, I will make him unconscious. I will take the opportunity to go in and strangle that little bitch to death beside him. By then, even if he has a hundred mouths, he can't explain it. The government office can openly arrest him, and the sect will not protect a murderer."

"You vicious little white face!?" Xu Dian looked at Bai Rong and cursed with a smile.

After hearing this, many people in the room looked at Bai Rong with a slightly changed look. Because this poisonous plan seemed to be applicable to anyone of them.

Duan Rong was in the shadow of a tree far outside the secret room. Hearing this, his heart was chilled. In Huaying Tower, Bai Rong treated Hu Huanhuan like that, and he had already wanted to kill him. At this time, this white-faced venomous snake actually designed such a vicious plan for him.

Duan Rong's heart was already filled with evil. If he hadn't been afraid of alerting the enemy, he would have sneaked into Huaying Tower tonight and skinned this guy alive.

Ruan Fengshan and Sun Qian looked at each other. Bai Rong's vicious plan was indeed feasible.

After that, two more people proposed strategies, which were also noteworthy.

Everyone discussed matters in this stone chamber until midnight before leaving.

Everyone walked out of the secret room together on the stone steps, and then walked to the vicinity of the rockery. Ruan Fengshan moved somewhere in the rockery, and saw a stone door opened.

Sun Qian and Ruan Fengshan said goodbye to everyone and walked into the stone door.

After the two figures disappeared, everyone dispersed.

Only when everyone had dispersed and the place was quiet, Duan Rong jumped out from the shadow of the tree, but his figure flashed and flashed past the rockery.

Duan Rong had already known the mechanism of the rockery stone door through his spiritual sense, but he also knew that after Ruan Fengshan entered the stone door, he turned around another mechanism. If someone opened the mechanism of the rockery stone door without authorization, the multiple bells in the secret passage would ring at the same time.

Duan Rong's figure was as fast as a ghost, and soon he was standing in an alley outside the high wall, and his spiritual sense was always exploring underground.

At this time, Ruan Fengshan and Sun Qian were in a secret passage deep underground not far from him.

This secret passage led from Wei Yutian's old house to Ruan Fengshan's sealed warehouse.

Wei Yutian's old house was not far from Yuanshun Escort Agency, just separated by a residential area and a street.

This secret passage was almost repaired at the same time as the secret passage from the escort agency's sealed warehouse to the county government office.

This secret passage is also quite useful.

To support so many brothers in their cultivation, in addition to the training ground, more importantly, the resources for cultivation, and the core of the resources are the virgins abducted.

Relying on temporary abduction is obviously not enough. Sun Qian had already designed a way of raising them. Moreover, there is a ready-made breeding ground at Wei Yutian's place, which can be renovated.

The reason why a passage is built to the sealed warehouse in the backyard of Yuanshun Escort Agency is that Sun Qian has envisioned a path.

The abducted women are directly put into the escort box of the escort agency, disguised as goods, and pulled into the sealed warehouse of Yuanshun Escort Agency. This can be said to be imperceptible and foolproof!

The escort box is opened in the sealed warehouse, and the abducted women are taken to the breeding ground in Wei Yutian's old house along the passage for cultivation.

At this time, in the secret passage, Sun Qian and Ruan Fengshan walked slowly while discussing the strategy proposed by the few people in the secret room just now.

Ruan Fengshan's eyes were filled with deep worry.

Because it had been a whole day since Duan Rong and Xiao Yu disappeared in the residential area near the escort agency. He had sent out all the spies, but after a whole day, there was no news at all.

The more this happened, the more uncertain Ruan Fengshan was.

Sun Qian glanced at Ruan Fengshan and said, "Duan Rong and Xiao Yu, still no trace?"

Ruan Fengshan sighed deeply. "We have already spread spies all over Xiangu County. Under such circumstances, these two people can still escape from under our noses. They are really quite capable."

Sun Qian's eyes also showed a hint of coldness. "If you can't even find the people, no matter what strategy you plan, it will be useless!"

No mistakes, one sentence, one post, one content, one 6, one book, one bar, one look!

"What do you think, brother?" Ruan Fengshan said.

Sun Qian said expressionlessly: "These two people must have hidden. Let the spies continue to search. There is no rat in this world that does not show its head!"

Duan Rong used his spiritual sense to detect the conversation and expressions of the two people in the dark alley.

It was not in vain to follow Bai Rong on this wave.

He almost figured out all the opponents he was going to face. There were thirteen masters in the True Qi Realm, among whom Sun Qian and Xu Dian were masters of the second level of the True Qi Realm, and the other eleven were masters of the first level of the True Qi Realm. Moreover, almost all of these people have achieved the second level of the Dirty Blood Divine Art.

Sun Qian and Ruan Fengshan even achieved the third level of the Dirty Blood Divine Art.

Duan Rong himself achieved the second level of the Dirty Blood Divine Art, and he knew that the second level of the Dirty Blood Divine Art could already withstand the attacks of masters in the True Qi Realm.

To kill these thirteen people, I am afraid that even with Duan Rong's state of great perfection in the True Qi Realm, it would be a bit tricky.

While Duan Rong was eavesdropping on the conversation between Sun Qian and Ruan Fengshan, he was also deducing a strategy in his mind.

Sun Qian and Ruan Fengshan walked in the secret passage and arrived at the sealed warehouse of the escort agency. Sun Qian thought Ruan Fengshan would go up, but Ruan Fengshan followed Sun Qian and walked to the county government office again.

Sun Qian looked at Ruan Fengshan and said, "Are you going to the county government office with me?"

"The escort agency is not safe now."

Sun Qian laughed and said, "You are in the escort agency, maybe you can lure them to take action."

Ruan Fengshan couldn't help but smile and said, "Let's wait for news from the hall. The brothers have set up an ambush and set up the trap, and I will be the bait."

Sun Qian said, "Don't worry, brother. With so many brothers, can we still watch you being killed by those two little ones?"

Ruan Fengshan felt a little relieved after hearing what Sun Qian said.

Duan Rong was on the ground, in a dark shadow on the street somewhere, but his face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.

These people are all old rivers and lakes, and they are insidious, cunning and vicious. To deal with them, you must plan carefully before taking action. If you fail, even if Duan Rong can escape unscathed, Xiao Yu and the others may not be able to escape death.

Sun Qian and Ruan Fengshan came to the secret room under the county government together, and Sun Qian invited Ruan Fengshan to go up and rest together.

Ruan Fengshan said that he would wait for the news from the spies in this secret room.

Sun Qian knew that Ruan Fengshan was in the secret room, arranging spies to search for Duan Rong and Xiao Yu's whereabouts, and he was like a frightened bird at this time. He felt safer staying in the secret room.

Sun Qian walked out of the secret room along the stone steps by himself. Although it was already late at night, he still supported himself and sat under the documents. He approved the thick stack of documents on the table and went to sleep. When he lay down, the rooster had already started to crow.

Duan Rong had been dozing in the shadow of a certain alley, monitoring Ruan Fengshan's every move hiding in the secret room.

After more than an hour, Ruan Fengshan had fallen asleep half lying on the chair. Duan Rong saw the morning star hanging upside down in the dark night. He knew that in half an hour, the sky would slowly brighten.

After more than an hour of contemplation, Duan Rong had a strategy in mind.

He decided to meet with Yang Zhen, Xiao Yu and others before dawn.

Duan Rong stood up and took advantage of the darkest sky before dawn, shivering and walking towards the residential area of ​​Jie Lei's old house.

Duan Rong walked past the breakfast shops on the street, sniffed, and his stomach growled with hunger. He only ate a pancake all day. Although he dressed himself up as a beggar, he still couldn't bring himself to ask for leftovers.

Duan Rong walked through the streets and came to the dark and quiet alleyway of the residential area. Once in the darkness, Duan Rong's spiritual sense scanned the surroundings and found that there was nothing unusual. He suddenly moved his body and moved through the alleys as fast as a ghost.

Duan Rong soon landed in the yard where Lei Lie was. It was quiet all around, and Duan Rong could even hear his own breathing clearly.

He jumped into the dry well and climbed into the dark room.

Xiao Yu and Zhu Xiaoqi were sleeping in the corner of the wall. Suddenly, they heard a rustling sound. Xiao Yu was startled and asked, "Who?"

Her hand had already grabbed the Qingling knife at her waist.

"Me!"

Hearing Duan Rong's familiar voice, Xiao Yu felt relieved. "You won't shout before coming in?"

"What? Are you still scared?"

Xiao Yu didn't answer. She took out the fire starter and lit the oil lamp in the corner.

Zhu Xiaoqi opened his sleepy eyes and saw Duan Rong had walked in.

Duan Rong's bones suddenly exploded, and his body became larger and larger. After a few breaths, it returned to its original shape.

He had been using the bone-shrinking technique for the whole day. In fact, it consumed a lot of muscles and bones.

Duan Rong took a breath and sat on the ground tiredly. Xiao Yu took a cake and handed it to Duan Rong, and Zhu Xiaoqi poured him a bowl of water. These were the food that Yang Zhen had prepared for Zhu Xiaoqi before.

Duan Rong took the cake and water, and while eating, he began to tell Xiao Yu about his discoveries of the day and the methods those guys planned to deal with them.

Xiao Yu's face seemed to be covered with a layer of cold frost as she listened. Xiao Yu realized that she was too reckless before. If Duan Rong hadn't stopped her, she would not only fail to take revenge, but would get herself involved, and might even implicate Duan Rong.
