Unparalleled Evildoer

Chapter 245: Ji Yu Five Poisons
He Qian led Wuzhan and others out of the hall. Lü Meng chased after them, waving a painted fan in his hand, and shouted loudly, "Princess, please stay!"

Meng Ya got angry when she saw the painted fan in his hand and asked unhappily, "What do you want from me?"

Lu Meng smiled and said, "I have long heard of your name, and now I see you in person. You are truly stunningly beautiful..."

"If a princess is not stunningly beautiful, is she still a princess? Just say whatever you want to say!" Meng Ya interrupted Lu Meng impatiently.

Lu Meng said awkwardly: "The princess is right. This time the princess is on a diplomatic mission to Panyu. It is the first time in history. If our two countries can join forces in the future, we will surely dominate Baiyue..."

"Who said I was sent as an envoy to Panyu? I just came out to have fun with you, sir. The alliance between the two countries and dominating Baiyue have nothing to do with me. If you have anything else to say, say it quickly. sir is waiting for me!"

"Since the princess wants to go out and play, that's great. I have a boat ready. How about taking the princess to visit Panyu?"

Meng Ya chuckled and said, "Wen Lang's army is almost at the gates of the city. If you are not busy surrendering to the enemy, how can you have the leisure to accompany me to play? What's more, don't you think that I have taken a boat all the way. I just got off the boat. If I take another boat, do you think I will get bored?"

Lü Meng apologized with a smile, "I am stupid. I didn't think of this!" After thinking for a moment, he said, "I almost forgot that there is a pond in my humble palace. Maybe they knew that the princess was coming to Panyu, and now the pond is full of water lilies in full bloom. They are very beautiful. If the princess likes to watch, then we can invite the 'Three Wonders of Lingnan' to perform a song and dance for the princess. It will definitely please the princess and relieve the fatigue of the journey. I wonder if the princess would be willing to come and see it?"

There are very few women who don't like flowers, and even fewer who don't like watching singing and dancing. Meng Ya was somewhat moved, and glanced at Wuzhan and said, "It does sound good. I wonder if the young master has also invited a gentleman."

Lu Meng hesitated and said, "The pavilion in the pond is too small. I'm afraid it can't accommodate so many people?"

"Then forget it. If you don't go, I won't go either."

Lu Meng quickly said: "Okay, I'll try my best to find a solution!"

Wuzhan said: "I don't have the taste for appreciating flowers and watching dances, so I won't bother you. It's a rare opportunity to come to Panyu, so I want to take my disciples for a walk."

Meng Ya said unhappily: "Wherever you go, I will follow you. Don't even think about getting rid of me!" But she was telling the truth. It was very difficult for Wuzhan to get rid of her.

Wuzhan said: "Since the young master has invited the princess so warmly, the princess should not refuse! How about this, I will go to pick her up after I have traveled around?" He winked at Mengya while speaking.

Meng Ya didn't know what Wuzhan's wink meant, but she thought there must be something she needed to do. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Well, if you don't come to pick me up, I will bite a hundred holes in your body." Then she turned to Lu Meng and said, "Lead the way!"

Lu Meng was secretly delighted and hurriedly shouted, "Hurry up and prepare a carriage for the princess!"

After Meng Ya got on the carriage and left, He Qian walked with Wuzhan and Zhulang and said with a smile: "It's a pity that you don't go to watch it, sir. It may be difficult to watch such singing and dancing in Qin. The sound, color and art are unprecedented and rare in the world!"

Wuzhan said: "Hearing what you said, I would like to go and see it, but the young master is not sincere. I am afraid that he will be unhappy if I go."

He Qian sighed, "The eldest son is addicted to wine and sex, has a narrow mind, and cannot foresee the future. He is not as good as the third son, Lu Zhe. It's just that the third son is not yet twenty years old and cannot attend the palace to discuss politics. It's a pity. However, he really wants to meet you. If I have time, I will introduce him to you."

Wuzhan said: "Then I'll trouble you, sir!"

He Qian said: "Sir, you have seen it all. Few people in the court support surrendering to Qin. Sir, I am afraid you will return empty-handed!"

"Your Excellency thinks I will return empty-handed?"

"Does sir think there is still hope?"

Wuzhan said: "As long as the Southern King doesn't say anything, there will be a chance of recovery!"

He Qian smiled bitterly and said, "Nanyue is different from Qin. The king's words are law. Nanyue is composed of several major clans, among which the most important are the Lu, Fang, Shi, and Xu clans. Even if the king wants to surrender to Qin, he needs the support of these clans to execute it. Can you convince these clans, sir?"

Wuzhan said calmly, "Of course you can't convince me?" He paused and said, "There's no need to convince me anymore."

He Qian asked, "What does the gentleman want?"

"threaten!"

He Qian asked, "Threat?"

"Threats are sometimes more effective than persuasion."

"But where is the threat sir right now?"

"As long as I stay in Panyu, I will be a threat."

He Qian smiled and said, "I've said before that it might be difficult for you to stay in Panyu!"

Wuzhan said: "So as long as I don't leave Panyu for a day, they will be unable to sleep or eat."

He Qian looked around and whispered, "Maybe you can't stay here for even a day, because Wen Lang has learned that you are coming to Panyu and has sent out an assassination team to kill you. To be honest, I am sweating coldly on my back as I follow you on this street!"

Wuzhan said: "If Lord He is not feeling well, please go back home. Just tell the foreign ministers where the guesthouse is."

He Qian advised: "Sir, if anything goes wrong, the king will punish me. Please return to the guesthouse as soon as possible!"

Wuzhan said: "If I was afraid of them, I would not come to Panyu. Please rest assured, my lord, the life of a foreign minister is very tough."

He Qian had no choice but to accompany the master and disciple for a walk, and finally brought them back to the guesthouse and went to the palace. The four guards who wanted to stay behind to guard the place were also rejected by Wuzhan.

The guesthouse is not big and is very close to the palace. When you open the window, you can see the main street of Panyu. The facilities in the guesthouse are old because few envoys come to Panyu.

After landing, Zhulang didn't say a word. This was also the reason why Wuzhan took him to see the Southern King. Looking into the room, Zhulang asked, "Master, are you not going back to the boat tonight?"

Wuzhan said: "It is convenient for assassination here."

Zhu Lang asked, "Does the master want them to assassinate him?"

"It's not hope, but we can't avoid it. Since it's bound to come sooner or later, we might as well make it easier for them to come!"

"They're already here, hiding in the streets outside."

Wuzhan asked, "How many people did you see?"

"There were three people. One was a fisherman wearing a cloak. The fish on his harpoon had been dead for at least two days, but it didn't stink. Another was a doctor, but his nails were black. The third was a woman wearing a veil. She looked more like a rouge seller than a lychee seller."

"Yes, but it was still missed." "Could it be that the child with the rattle was also missed?"

"She is not a child. She is at least thirty years old. The rattle in her hand must be hiding a hidden weapon."

"I think she is no more than ten years old. How did you tell that, Master?"

"Her eyes, a ten-year-old child wouldn't have that kind of look, there was murderous intent in her eyes."

Zhu Lang said: "So, these people are the 'Ji Yu Five Poisons' mentioned by Mr. Shi, but where is the other person hiding?"

"He hasn't shown up yet, so his cultivation must be higher than these four people."

"How does Master want to deal with them?"

"Let them think about these things, and we just face them calmly."

"Disciple understands!"

……

The sun was setting in the west and smoke from cooking fires filled the air. Perhaps because it had been rather hot during the day, the streets became bustling at this moment. The sounds of hawking could be heard everywhere. Wuzhan took Zhulang out of the inn. There happened to be a carriage parked at the door. The driver, a strong man with his upper body naked, was sleeping soundly in the front of the carriage.

After Zhulang and Wuzhan exchanged a glance, Zhulang walked up to the driver and asked, "Do you know where the eldest master's bedroom is?"

The sturdy man was startled and woke up from his deep sleep. He rubbed his face and said, "Master, how could I not know your palace? If you want to go, just get in the car."

Wuzhan and Zhulang got on the carriage. The coachman looked back and shouted, "Gee!", and the carriage left the inn.

……

The noise faded away, the river breeze blew in from the window, and the carriage went a long way before suddenly stopping.

After a long while, the driver stood outside the carriage and asked, "Sir, don't you want to ask why the carriage stopped?"

After a long while, someone in the carriage replied, "The carriage is yours, so of course you were the one who asked it to stop."

The driver laughed and said, "Then do you know where I left it?"

"Stop where you want to stop."

"How did you know that, sir?"

"You forgot to ask us for the price."

"Haha, if you know everything, why did you get in the car?"

"Want to see where you can take us."

At this time, there were four more people outside the carriage: a fisherman, a doctor, a woman with her face covered selling lychees, and a little girl shaking a rattle.

The driver said, "They all said you were cunning and vicious, and told us to be cautious. Now it seems that you are nothing more than that."

"You really should listen to them."

The driver laughed grimly upon hearing this, "You are still so arrogant even when death is imminent. Do you know who we are?"

"Ji Yu Wu Du."

"Since you have heard our nickname, you should know that no one who has seen us survived, not even a corpse was left."

"This does sound a bit scary, but no one will believe it anymore."

The driver laughed again: "Do you think that the boy next to you can take you away? You are really arrogant, arrogant to death!"

"Dong Dong..." The rhythm of the rattle began to speed up, making people feel trance-like, and an innocent smile appeared on the little girl's face.

The woman with her face covered was also smiling. She was peeling lychees with her slender hands. The lychees were crystal clear and exuded a rich fragrance that was breathtaking.

The fisherman did not laugh, but the fish on the harpoon flew towards the carriage. There were four fish in total. The fish had been dead for three days, but they had not rotted. These unrotten fish could poison all the fish in the river.

The doctor waved his hands, and several black needles flew out from his fingers. Although the number was not as many as Xiao Yuzhen's "Flower Rain", it covered the entire carriage.

"Swish", rays of light shot out from the carriage, followed by "bang bang..." The fish exploded, emitting clouds of black smoke, and "ding ding dang dang" all the black needles were knocked away by the light.

The carriage was still there, but the upper half of the carriage was missing, making it open-top. Wuzhe was still sitting in the carriage, Zhulang's sword was sheathed, and he was wearing a mask, so he was not poisoned.

The driver could no longer laugh, and stared at Zhu Lang and said, "It is indeed a reputation that is not in vain."

Wuzhan said: "If you stop now, I will pretend that I have never seen you!"

The little girl's rattle shook faster and faster, and butterflies flew out of the rattle, colorful and dreamy.

All the lychees have been peeled, and a basket of crystal clear lychees all flew up.

The driver took out two long whips and swung them hard. Two "crackling" sounds were heard, creating two sparks in the air. He said fiercely, "What a joke! If we can't kill you, we won't have to show up again in the future." He shouted loudly and flew up. The two whips turned into two black snakes that coiled towards Wuzhan.

As the driver moved, the harpoon also moved, striking out with a flash of lightning, sharp and unstoppable.

"Swoosh, swoosh" the black needle swung again, faster than the harpoon.

Butterflies were flying, lychees were shooting, and the five people had covered the carriage tightly. Even a strong man who had entered the realm of immortals would find it difficult to resist this kind of formation-like attack.
