The deepest affection in Gu Long's world

Chapter 113 Hu Tiehua's Rampage
Chu Liuxiang knew very well that the King of Kucha would never poison him under such circumstances.

In particular, the silver knife also revealed the truth that the egg was poisonous.

Therefore, there can only be one possible outcome.

It is a stone Guanyin.

At this moment, Ji Bingyan, who was standing nearby, also came over and handed him a note.

Today is the auspicious day for your daughter, so I will leave your head here for one more day. I will come back to collect it tomorrow evening. Please keep it safe and do not disappoint me.

Comparing the handwriting to the previous note, this was clearly Shi Guanyin's threat to the King of Kucha.

When the two were analyzing the situation last night, they considered that the other's purpose in doing all this was likely to find out the secrets of Elysium.

Given the current intensity of the pressure, it seems unlikely that the King of Kucha will be able to hold out for long.

However, since today was Hu Tiehua's wedding, after some discussion, the two decided to let the other experience this unforgettable wedding night first.

After Hu Tiehua was carried into the bridal chamber like a roasted camel, Chu Liuxiang and Ji Bingyan had no heart to go into the tent to rest.

As night deepened, the aroma of roasted meat and fine wine, and the lively laughter of the people, could not dispel the desolate atmosphere of the desert night.

Ji Bingyan, wrapped in a blanket, sat in the shade of a tree by the pool, watching the stars gradually become denser and then sparser.

He sat there motionless, as if he could sit there until the end of time; he seemed like someone who would never feel lonely or bored.

Chu Liuxiang sat beside him, sipping his wine, his absent-minded eyes seemingly longing for someone. Was it Su Rongrong? Li Hongxiu? Song Tian'er? Or perhaps one of his former lovers, or several of them? No one knew.

"They didn't leave?" Ji Bingyan suddenly spoke up.

Chu Liuxiang, standing beside him, understood that the other party was referring to Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou.

"I also thought they would leave, after all, they must have had some discussions with the King of Kucha last night, which is why the King of Kucha was so eager to arrange the marriage between the eldest princess and Xiao Hu."

But now it seems that it wasn't because they were leaving that the King of Kucha was in such a hurry.

"Perhaps they also know that leaving now is more dangerous."

Chu Liuxiang thought for a moment and then nodded.

This vast desert is truly fraught with danger at every turn. In fact, compared to the hidden Stone Guanyin, the rebels of the Kingdom of Kucha, and the Western evil cult, this boundless desert is the most dangerous place.

Even the most skilled martial artist will lose control of their own life once trapped within it.

"After talking with the King of Kucha, I felt it was necessary to explain the current situation to them as well. According to our previous investigation, Hua Manlou's strength was slightly inferior to that of the Wu brothers working together. Although he was weaker in terms of combat power, he could still play a role if necessary."

Moreover, I feel that his relationship with Lu Xiaofeng is not as simple as it seems.

Chu Liuxiang nodded again, indicating his agreement with Ji Bingyan's statement.

Although these two looked like wealthy young masters who had nothing better to do than travel around, they wouldn't have dared to venture into this dangerous place without some real skills.

Of course, no matter how great this so-called real skill is, in the eyes of Chu Liuxiang and Ji Bingyan, it is just that. This appearance and age are very deceptive. Even a genius like Chu Liuxiang has only seen no more than three people who can compete with him at the same age.

This inevitably made him think of Fang Yunhua again.

He actually began to genuinely hope that the other party would show up and tell him that his current situation was also a trap set by the other party.

Unlike the previous Bloodstained Fragrance route, this time it's not just him who has to shoulder the risk to the player's life; he also carries the guilt and responsibility of dragging his best friend into it.

"Let's set it for tomorrow. Once Xiao Hu is done with his affairs, it will be easier for us to have a proper talk with the King of Kucha, given his status as a son-in-law."

Ji Bingyan nodded.

The two of them didn't sleep all night, just watching the moon set and the sun rise.

At the same time, they saw Hu Tiehua, smiling like a flower, walk out of a large tent and run happily toward them.

He was clearly extremely satisfied with his wedding night last night.

This completely put Chu Liuxiang's mind at ease, as he had harbored some doubts about the eldest princess who had never shown herself.

Then, listening to Hu Tiehua's animated description of how beautiful the eldest princess was, even surpassing the elegant queen and the beautiful pipa princess combined, Chu Liuxiang felt greatly gratified.

Even though their current situation is not good, he managed to arrange a marriage for Hu Tiehua that he could be more satisfied with under these circumstances, which can be considered as him doing a good deed by accident.

Immediately, Hu Tiehua grabbed one of the men's arms with each hand, excitedly trying to pull his good brother to meet his new wife.

After exchanging a helpless glance, Chu Liuxiang and Ji Bingyan had no choice but to follow.

But when they arrived at the bridal chamber, all three of them were dumbfounded.

Blood! The edges of the brand-new embroidered quilt were stained with blood.

Hu Tiehua reached out with trembling hands and pulled off the quilt.

In the warm bridal chamber, the red quilt was turned over, but lying under the covers was a dead woman.

Hu Tiehua collapsed as if he had lost his footing.

What surprised Hu Tiehua even more was that the woman who died in his bed was not his new wife who had made love with him the night before. This made him anxious and he ran out of the tent and started shouting.

"Help! Someone has died in my house! Come quickly and see who it is!"

Immediately afterwards, the King of Kucha, who had just woken up from a hangover, Princess Pipa, whose face was full of worry, and Fang Yunhua and Yuan Suiyun, who were full of energy after a good night's sleep, all entered the tent one after another.

Just as Fang Yunhua lifted the curtain, he saw the King of Kucha grab Hu Tiehua by the collar and roar.

Why did you kill her?

Hu Tiehua was dumbfounded on the spot.

"I killed her? Are you seeing things? I didn't know her at all, why would I kill her?"

The King of Kucha roared.

"Even if she's ugly, she's still your wife. How could you do such a cruel thing? You...you're not human, you're a beast!"

Hu Tiehua was startled again and exclaimed in horror.

"What did you say? This woman is...my wife?"

While the two were arguing, the King of Kucha saw Fang Yunhua, and his anger seemed to be extinguished by a bucket of cold water.

He remembered the other person's reminder.

I also understood what the other person meant by despair.

At the same time, a fleeting suspicion crossed his mind that the other party might have killed the eldest princess. However, he quickly suppressed this thought.

He knew that the other party would never do something so foolish and stupid before he made his choice. This was almost an open provocation and threat, and it would not help him achieve his vaguely known goal.

On the contrary, it could make things even worse.

Of course, the most important point is that he could see that Fang Yunhua had feelings for his youngest daughter. Even if this affection was far from enough to shake the man's rationality, as long as this affection existed, it meant that the other party would never go to such lengths unless absolutely necessary.

Even now, his suspicions about Hu Tiehua have lessened considerably.

He then pulled the Pipa Princess aside as she was about to say something. The Pipa Princess was crying very sadly, for the one who had died was her own sister.

When she received Fang Yunhua's warning earlier, she thought she had a chance to avoid this disaster.

Just as Princess Pipa was weeping silently, and the King of Kucha's face was flashing with anger and regret.

Hu Tiehua exploded!

Being suddenly framed by the King of Kucha, and seeing how ugly his deceased wife's face was, the double blow of being wronged and deceived shattered his illusions about a bright future!
He was a hot-tempered person to begin with, and in the original storyline, he acted impulsively more than once, almost ruining Chu Liuxiang's plans.

For Grandpa Hu, this was naturally even more unbearable, as although the scene had quieted down, it felt as if he had fallen into silent accusations and suspicions!

This led him to desperately seek help from Chu Liuxiang and Ji Bingyan.

"Why...why aren't you all saying a word for me? Don't you believe me either?"

Chu Liuxiang had stayed up all night and was not in good spirits. Then this unexpected turn of events ruined his and Ji Bingyan's original plans. He was thinking about how to break the deadlock when he was confronted by Hu Tiehua's questioning.

This made him sigh.

"what do you want me to say?"

"Calm down first." Ji Bingyan noticed that the King of Kucha seemed to have thought of something, and his expression was no longer as if he was convinced that Hu Tiehua was the murderer. This meant that after both sides calmed down, they could continue to communicate.

When Hu Tiehua heard his two good brothers say that, he completely exploded.

"Fine! You don't believe me? So what if I kill her? Who asked you to trick me into marrying this ugly hag!"

This was a bit too much, going straight for the dead. They were calling him an ugly monster, showing they really didn't respect the King of Kucha.

Not to mention that after his roar, Hu Tiehua immediately tried to leave.

"You...you can't leave now!" The King of Kucha had not completely cleared himself of suspicion, and the other party's words had indeed reignited his suppressed anger.

"So what if I leave? Is there anyone who can stop me?"

Hu Tiehua laughed wildly and ignored him completely.

Upon seeing this, the King of Kucha roared, "You can't leave!"

Amidst the roar, seven or eight golden spears thrust straight into the tent.

Hu Tiehua didn't even glance at them. He casually grabbed the two golden spears and pulled them back, dragging two people in. They fell to the ground and fainted.

Amidst the cries of the other warriors, Jin Ge thrust forward with a wild, unpredictable motion.

Hu Tiehua moved with lightning speed. With a series of sounds—ouch, thud, and crack—seven or eight warriors fell to the ground unconscious, their long spears snapped in two.

The King of Kucha began to tremble with anger, and looked to Fang Yunhua for help.

Fang Yunhua remained calm as he watched the chaotic scene unfold, until the King of Kucha finally made up his mind and nodded vigorously at him.

At that moment, Hu Tiehua strode forward, about to stride out with his head held high, while still uttering harsh words.

"Anyone who dares to come any closer, I'll smash their head to pieces!"

A group of warriors holding golden spears stood in the distance, but none of them dared to rush forward. As the King of Kucha waved his hand, and after dragging away the unconscious warriors, they scattered like startled rabbits.

As if finally relieved, Hu Tiehua laughed a few more times and was about to walk out of the tent.

But a figure blocked his way.

"You've gone a bit too far."

"You're going to stop me?" Hu Tiehua frowned as he looked at Lu Xiaofeng, whom he didn't know very well.

Then a cold smile appeared on his lips.

"You heard what I just said. If you don't want to die, get out of my way!"

Seeing that Fang Yunhua had not moved an inch, Hu Tiehua decisively launched the first attack, his fists dancing like a swarm of butterflies!
The Butterfly Through Flowers Seventy-Two Forms is a unique skill in the martial arts world. This fist technique is as elusive as a butterfly flitting through flowers, making it difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion. Each form contains seven variations, and the force of the fist can even cause the candle flames in the tent to twist and sway.

Fang Yunhua simply stood with his hands behind his back, his purple robes unmoved, but a fierce glint flashed deep in his eyes.

Hu Tiehua roared and his fist technique suddenly changed. He feinted with his left fist and then struck Fang Yunhua's throat with his right fist like lightning. Fang Yunhua simply tilted his head slightly and lightly touched his Quchi acupoint with his fingertips.

This caused Hu Tiehua's entire right arm to go numb instantly, and his punching power to dissipate.

"Fancy enough." Fang Yunhua shook his head, and with a flick of his sleeve, he intercepted Hu Tiehua's Jianjing acupoint before Hu Tiehua could change his move.

This blow caused Hu Tiehua's left fist to fall limply as soon as it was raised, like a puppet whose strings had been pulled out.

Hu Tiehua gritted his teeth, his body spun rapidly, and he kicked out with both feet in succession. His leg shadows fluttered like butterfly wings, but Fang Yunhua had already calculated his landing point and gently hooked his toe!
This caused Hu Tiehua to lose his balance and fall forward, crashing into the low table in a disheveled manner.

The wine jug shattered, and the strong liquor soaked his clothes, dripping down mixed with cold sweat.

At that very moment, Chu Liuxiang, who had been deep in thought, was about to make a move to help, but he suddenly heard a voice in his ear.

"Master Chu, can we wait quietly for a while?"

Chu Liuxiang suddenly turned around, only to find that at the same time Fang Yunhua easily subdued Hu Tiehua, Ji Bingyan had already been taken hostage by the man named Hua Manlou.

The fan handle in the other person's hand was seemingly casually pressed against Ji Bingyan's fragile neck, as if with just a little force, his brother would die on the spot!

Ji Bingyan's eyes were blinking wildly, but she was unable to move or make a sound. She had clearly been subdued instantly by the opponent using a set of exquisite acupressure techniques.

Unaware of all this, Hu Tiehua was still in a state of rage.

He never expected to find himself in such a sorry state!
With a roar, as if using his last strength, he threw out both fists, the force of which tore through the curtains, but Fang Yunhua's fingers had already struck his Tanzhong acupoint like a ghost.

This made Hu Tiehua freeze, his blood rush to his head, and even his breathing became sluggish!
With his final punch, Fang Yunhua didn't even use his internal energy. It was just a seemingly casual swing that struck Hu Tiehua's chest like lightning, sending him flying backward and crashing to his knees!
He tried to sit up, but his limbs were no longer under his control. He could only look up in despair at Fang Yunhua's condescending gaze.

What met his gaze was Fang Yunhua's expressionless face and the casual flick of his sleeves, as if he had just swatted away an annoying flying insect.

Hu Tiehua knelt among the wine stains and broken porcelain, experiencing for the first time the feeling of helplessness.
