Outside the stone room. Cheng Jin and Ai Wei stood outside, and observed through the window.
"He ? Is that true? " Ai Wei turned and look at Cheng Jin.
Cheng Jin shrugged and said, "Who knows." After a pause, he continued, "I've only heard of things like the Blood Spirit Vine, but I've never seen it with my own eyes."
Ai Wei asked in puzzlement: "Isn't Gao Mucheng a subordinate of the General Cheng?"
"But that doesn't mean I know everything about him." Cheng Jin said expressionlessly: "At that time, he proposed to purchase the Blood Spirit Vine's seed for two thousand gold. I had approval, but this is the first time I've seen what a Blood Spirit Vine looks like."
"Two thousand gold?" Ai Wei was secretly speechless, the cost of the Dark Arrow was not something that could be compared with Lieutenant's Mansion.
Inside the stone room. Gao Mucheng placed the green bean at the crack on the shopkeeper's hand. After that, his finger slowly emitted a white mist, which didn't disperse, but was completely absorbed by the green beans, causing the green beans that absorbed the mist to seem like living beings. They directly drilled into the shopkeeper's flesh through the crack on the back of his hand.
Gao Mucheng pressed his finger on the wound and the mist still continued to emanate from the tip of his finger. Not long later, he looked at the back of the shopkeeper's hand, and on his skin appeared many twisted black lines. These black lines were spreading rapidly, and slowly protruding from his skin.
At this moment, the manager couldn't help but let out a heart-wrenching cry. His body that was tied up on the chair trembled violently, his facial features were distorted, and his eyes were wide open.
Gao Mucheng looked at him without blinking and said softly, "When the Blood Spirit Vine encounters spirit energy, it will grow faster, and the wood type spirit energy will make it grow faster. Shopkeeper, can you feel the sensation of its roots spreading out in your body right now?"
AHH!" He shouted at Gao Mucheng in a different tone, "Bastard! "Kill me, kill me ?
Gao Mucheng acted as if he did not hear it, and continued to emit spirit energy. After a while, he shouted excitedly, "It's sprouted! "Haha ?"
At this moment, on the shopkeeper's hand, two small, tender leaves actually grew out from under the wound. These two leaves grew extremely fast, and at the same time, vines began to grow from the wounds, crawling up his arms, neck, and neck like snakes ?
Gao Mucheng's eyes flashed with excitement, he suddenly stood up and used both hands to grab the front of the shopkeeper's clothes, and with a ripping sound, the shopkeeper's shirt was torn into two.
The roots of the Blood Spirit Vine had already extended all the way to his chest, and many complicated black lines were bulging out from under his skin. In many places, the skin and flesh had already been bulged open, and new sprouts were sprouting from every part of his body.
This scene had already made the shopkeeper seem like a human, a ghost, and a demon. Even the murderous Hidden Arrow Crew caused the shopkeeper to feel a chill in his heart, and there were even two people who couldn't help but rush out of the stone room to vomit.
"They... They all live in... In the home of a Cha family on Sunflower Street. Kill me... "Hurry up and kill me ?" The shopkeeper had completely collapsed. The pain of the Blood Spirit Vine's roots spreading through his body had far exceeded what a human could bear.
He could clearly feel his skin and flesh, his flesh and bones being slowly peeled off by those rapidly growing roots that drilled and gnawed through his flesh and bones, spreading into his blood vessels and greedily sucking up the blood.
He could no longer take it. All he wanted now was to die, even if it meant being tortured.
"Sunny Street?" It's disappointing that they were able to explain it so quickly. " Gao Mucheng slowly shook his head, stood up, and said to the Hidden Arrow Crew around him: "If he drinks, then give him drinks. If he's hungry, then give him food, and take good care of him."
"You ? "You won't kill me ?"
"Kill you?" It was as if Gao Mucheng heard the funniest joke in the world, he laughed out loud, "I still have to use you to cultivate this Blood Spirit Vine that is not easy to obtain, how can I bear to kill you? "Actually, you can think like this. If you can bear a Blood Spirit Vine fruit worth thousands of gold on your body, then that would be something to be proud of!"
"Ah ? ?" The shopkeeper's eyes were wide open as blood slowly flowed down from the corner of his eyes. Once again, he let out a ghost-like wail.
"It's rare for the spiritual energy in your body to be so dense, allowing the Blood Spirit Vine to grow so smoothly. "You are the first 'rattan man' I have cultivated, haha ~ ~" Gao Mucheng patted the shopkeeper's cheek, and laughed out loud as he turned around and walked out of the stone room.
"Kill me! Beast... "Hurry up and kill me ?"
Gao Mucheng no longer paid attention to him and walked out of the stone room. Seeing Cheng Jin, he stepped forward and bowed, saying, "General, the culprit has already been informed that the assassin is hidden in the home of the surnamed Cai, who is currently at Sunflower Street!"
"Yes!" Cheng Jin nodded.
"General, tell this subordinate to lead some men to capture those assassins!" Gao Mucheng volunteered.
"Are you sure?"
"General, rest assured, your subordinate will not let a single person escape!" Gao Mucheng said resolutely.
"Alright, go ahead!" Cheng Jin waved his hands slightly.
"This subordinate bids you farewell!" Receiving Cheng Jin's approval, Gao Mucheng excitedly rushed over.
Looking at Gao Mucheng's leaving figure, Ai Wei couldn't help but shiver. He said softly: "General Cheng, this official thinks that he is sinister, frightening, and truly ? "It is really detrimental to the reputation of the imperial government."
Cheng Jin looked at him and said expressionlessly: "He belongs to my Dark Arrow."
"But the Dark Arrow is also a part of the imperial government!" Ai Wei frowned and said.
"Master Ai has seen enough today, I believe this trip was worthwhile, let me send you out!" Cheng Jin did not answer Ai Wei's question. Actually, he did not know how to answer either.
When Cheng Jin first met Gao Mucheng, the latter's character was not as sinister and perverted as it was now. It was just that within the secret arrows, if he wanted to not get eliminated, and still stand out, he had to be even more ruthless and ruthless than the people around him.
Cheng Jin admired Gao Mucheng's ability a lot, but he did not like the change he was going through. When he stood in front of Gao Mucheng, even Cheng Jin would sometimes feel a chill in his heart.
This time, Gao Mucheng did not disappoint Cheng Jin. Four assassins, not a single one escaped, and they were all captured by the hidden arrow elites he led.
Before they made their move, he had even purposely ordered them to stay alive, even if there would be a certain number of casualties on their side.
The next day, Cheng Jin and Ai Wei came to the palace together to seek an audience with Tang Yin.
It had only been a few days, but the two of them had already solved the case, and they had even captured the Misty Hall assassin who had escaped earlier.
Hearing the both of them explain everything that had happened, Tang Yin faintly sighed. He never thought that the person who hired the assassins would actually be someone who was extremely fortunate. He asked, "Where is Wan Fu now?"
Ai Wei did not dare say anything, and cupped his hands across his chest and said: "Reporting to my lord, this thief has already been poisoned to death by this subordinate's poison."
Tang Yin frowned, killing him just like that, was too easy on him. However, since he was already dead, this was all they could do. He asked, "Are the two of you certain that this matter was not instigated by blessings and blessings?"
"This subordinate and Master Ai have carefully checked, and Manor Lord Wan indeed does not know about this matter. Everything was done behind the scenes."
"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded his head, and said: "Since it is like this, there is no need to blow the matter anymore. This matter ends here, and cannot be spread out."
"Yes!" "Great King!" Cheng Jin and Ai Wei cupped their hands and greeted him.
Tang Yin laughed as he looked at Ai Wei, and said: "Ai Wei, this time's case is not bad, in the future, you will take up the position of vice lieutenant! "What is your current title?"
"Your Majesty, this subject has no title yet."
"Then rise to a viscount!"
He spoke so casually that Ai Wei didn't have time to react for a moment. Cheng Jin elbowed him on the side and reminded him in a low voice: "Master Ai, why haven't you thanked him yet?!"
Ai Wei suddenly regained his senses, he anxiously knelt down and kowtowed, and said with a trembling voice: "This humble subject thanks Great King for her grace!"
Tang Yin laughed, and waved: "Get up! When your cousin Gu Chen was serving as Vice First Lieutenant, he arranged the Lieutenant's Mansion in a neat and orderly way. I hope that you won't disappoint me in the future. The person in charge of the security in the city will be responsible for a lot of things, from now on, it's all up to you. "
"Your Majesty, rest assured. Even if this subject's mind is muddled, I will never let Your Majesty down!" Ai Wei said with a serious expression.
"Very good!" Tang Yin turned his head to look at Cheng Jin again, and laughed: "Cheng Jin, you did quite well this time."
"Thank you for your praise, Great King."
As expected of the talent that you recommended to me. Oh right, did he come with you? I want to see him. " Tang Yin asked with a smile.
"Great King, Mu Cheng should still be in Hidden House right now."
"Mm. When you go back, tell him to come to the palace. Tell him that this king wants to see him."
"Yes!" "Great King!"1
Cheng Jin and Ai Wei both kowtowed to Tang Yin and left the palace.
This was the first time the King had specially summoned him here. This was a rare opportunity, and he specially changed into a new set of Official Robe hidden arrows. Unable to suppress his excitement, she rushed towards the palace.
In the garden of the palace, when Gao Mucheng saw Tang Yin, he hastily went forward and kneeled on one knee. He interfered and bowed, saying respectfully: "Subordinate Gao Mucheng greets the King!"
Tang Yin pulled him up with a smile and said: "I heard from Cheng Jin that you did quite well in the Dark Arrow."
"This is all thanks to the king and generals ?"
Tang Yin waved his hand and said: "When Cheng Jin does things, it is always public and private. The fact that he is able to use you heavily means that you have the strength to do so."
Pausing, he laughed: "As a Spirit Cultivator of Light, to be able to stand out from the shadows is truly not easy. You have done a great job in capturing the Misty Hall assassin. Tell me, what kind of reward do you want? "
