Conspiracy

Chapter 620

"You!" The man forcibly held back the swearing, and asked instead: "If there is such a good thing, the imperial court will not hide it, but will it be given to us as a prize?"

"Wrong, the eighth lottery is that the person who gets this book can be appointed as a cabinet bachelor, enter the Shengtian Academy, and study more similar books with many bachelors."

All the literati in the world, working hard to become stronger, have studied hard for ten years in the cold window, isn't it just to gain fame and become an official in the court?

And the cabinet bachelor is a third-rank official, and Shengtian Academy has gathered [-]% of Xiliang's outstanding talents, and there are many unique books in the collection.

But now, as long as he successfully wins the championship, he can directly rise to the top? !
Many literati heard the news, so they couldn't wait to rush towards the wooden bridge, pushing and shoving, and some people fell into the water.

The man in charge didn't change his expression, he waved his hands to signal his men to go to save people.

"Guan Shi, don't you have ten prizes? What are the other two?"

A man in aristocratic attire asked suspiciously. Although he didn't have any skills, it didn't prevent him from joining in the fun.

The man in charge suddenly looked serious and whistled, only to see hundreds of forbidden soldiers rushing into the boat and surrounded the platform.

A few timid girls were frightened and screamed. They wanted to rush out but were stopped by the guards with knives.

"Girl, please go back."

Looking at the blade that was close at hand, and glancing at the silver cold light from the corner of their eyes, they suddenly didn't dare to be impulsive anymore, and shrank back into the corner timidly.

"General Huo! What are you doing?!"

"That's right, could it be that they want to hold us hostage?"

"Huo Ji, do you know who the young men are? Don't think that you can do whatever you want with the military power in your hand! In the world of the Yin clan in Xiliang, it's not up to you, the Huo clan, to do whatever you want!"

One tall hat after another fell on Huo Ji's head in an instant. He looked at He Liang who was smiling, and it was not difficult to guess that it was He Liang's people who were fanning the dark wind and lighting the will-o'-the-wisp.

"Tonight, many people must have come here for those two things. If we don't bring more experts, I'm afraid that the general's painting boat will set off a bloodbath tonight."

With thousands of people leaving the boat, the boat has become much more spacious at this moment.

But those who stayed behind were full of calculation and cunning in their eyes.

They are all waiting, as long as Huo Ji dares to take out the things, they will rush to snatch the treasures immediately!

Huo Ji tapped on the armrest with his fingers, and his smile made people ignore the cold aura around him.

"I would like to remind you, it is best to follow the rules of this general like everyone else, otherwise"

Huo Ji didn't finish his sentence, which made people think a lot, but obviously failed to deter those people.
He winked at the steward, the steward nodded, and went to the stage in person.

Everyone held their breath, the painting boat was so silent that one could hear a needle drop to the ground.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he slowly took out a long black box from his cuff.
The box was very simple, with strange patterns carved on it.

As the box was slowly opened, there was a sharp and crisp sound of the sword being unsheathed.

When the contents of the box were fully revealed, greedy eyes appeared in the eyes of everyone present.

They were two sections of black ebony vines, about the thickness and length of a baby's arms, wrapped in a hazy red mist.

"Wuximu! It's really Wuximu!"

I don't know who shouted loudly, and immediately, everyone drew their weapons and rushed towards the steward.

Hundreds of black shadows swarmed over and pressed down on the position where the steward was standing.

However, a black vortex suddenly appeared on the deck level. Countless withered black vines, like thin arms stretching out from hell, quickly climbed onto the bodies of those people
The vines were suddenly covered with barbs, piercing into their bodies fiercely.

Huo Ji and the others couldn't even hear the wailing. Those people had been sucked dry of flesh and blood, leaving only pieces of clothing floating and falling on the deck.

The rest seemed to be stupefied by fright. After being stunned for a while, someone uttered a scream, and everyone came back to their senses. There were crying and begging for help in the whole painting boat.

However, those vines didn't seem to have any malice towards them, they only attacked some people with evil intentions.

The vines climbed and walked around the painting boat, blocking all the exits tightly.

And the whole platform was surrounded by vines, people inside couldn't get out, and people outside couldn't get in.

After experiencing the scene just now, everyone stopped fighting for it.

Now, they have only one way to go, which is the chain leading to the martial arts arena.

The steward stood on the stage, staring indifferently at those people who didn't know what to do.

And those people's eyes are still hot and crazy, but they are afraid of the 'man-eating' vines.

After a stalemate for a long time, someone finally lost his temper and stepped onto the martial arts arena with chains.

If there is one, there are two, since that person flew into the ring, the people behind all flew up with light work one after another.

Before the steward announced the rules of the ring, they had already started fighting.

The people on Wenlei's side didn't know why, they didn't see what the last two prizes were, and when they heard the people who came on stage behind talk about Wuximu, they finally changed their faces.

Seeing this, Chihuang, who had been silent for a long time, finally couldn't hold back her laughter.

"It's just the rhizome of Wuximu, which makes them so obsessed that they will kill people to seize the treasure. If they get the real Wuximu, I'm afraid the whole world will be filled with blood."

Hearing her laughter, Huo Ji's eyes were filled with helplessness and pampering, and he patted the back of her head lightly.

Chihuang stuck out her tongue, suppressed her smile, cast a sideways glance at He Liang, and took out an emerald green jade flute from her cuff.

The melodious sound of the flute is very penetrating, and there is also a faint and strange force that confuses people's hearts.

Those who were fighting suddenly stopped killing, like marionettes who lost their minds one by one, 'plop plop' jumped into the water.

"Anyone else want to go up?" the steward asked.

The rest of the people shook their heads desperately. Seeing this, the steward made people press the mechanism.

'patta'

The organ was opened, and the wooden bridge and chains leading to the two arenas were immediately retracted.

And Huo Ji finally stood up, came to the railing, and stood with his hands behind his back. He was clearly separated by hundreds of feet, but his voice was clearly heard by everyone.

"The general has already said the ugly words before, and you have to follow my rules in my territory! Otherwise, you will bear the consequences!"

As for the so-called consequences, it ranges from falling into the water, to leaving no bones
With Huo Ji's warning, everyone became sober, and finally realized that tonight turned out to be a grand banquet!
It's a pity that they had to board this thief ship. After all, the thing in Huo Ji's hand was so tempting that it directly crashed into their hearts!
