Drawing The Sword - C98

Bang, bang bang. A light knock on the door woke Qi Xing from his meditation. With a frown, Qi Xing coldly asked, “Who is it?”

“Customer, it’s me. “Boss!” The knocks on the door immediately stopped, and a voice came from outside. Qi Xing immediately recognized the voice of the innkeeper.

Qi Xing stood up and opened the door. He looked at Keeper Qian carrying a jug of wine in each hand and two empty wine cups in each hand. Qi Xing stood at the door and asked, “Shopkeeper, what’s the matter? “Knocking on my door in the middle of the night?”

Seeing that Qi Xing didn’t intend to let him in, the money manager didn’t mind. I respectfully said, “Esteemed customer, I have eyes but failed to recognize Mt. Tai today. Please forgive me. Please forgive me. This goblet of wine can be considered as my apology. ” As he spoke, he poured two cups of wine from the wine pot. The storekeeper’s empty right hand lifted up the wine cup on his right, and he cupped his hand towards Qi Xing, preparing to drink the apology cup in his hand.

“Wait!” Qi Xing called out to the shopkeeper. He stretched out his hand to snatch the cup of wine from Manager Qian’s hands while staring at him.

Manager Qian smiled to express his understanding, then he picked up another cup of wine and finished it in one gulp. Finally, Qi Xing looked at the bottle of wine in his hand and saw that it was indeed gone. Only then did Qi Xing raise his head and pour everything into his mouth. Even though Qi Xing didn’t have much experience in the martial arts world, he had learned a little precaution from Wan Chang Gui.

The wine felt slightly cold when it entered his mouth, and the sweet, mellow, and thick alcohol was extremely weak. Although Qi Xing didn’t understand much about alcohol, he could still differentiate between good and bad. Once upon a time, he had also touched a few drops of wine, causing him to reveal a surprised expression. He didn’t expect the wine to be cold. He couldn’t help but praise, “Good wine!”

Shopkeeper Qian seemed to be very happy that Qi Xing was able to drink this wine. There was an unwritten rule among the warriors. If one drank the other party’s apology wine, then one would no longer cause trouble for the other party. “Qi Xing could understand the reason for Shopkeeper Qian’s happiness, but this time he really misjudged it.” It’s fine if you like it. This is a snow jade that this one has been hoarding for many years! This Snow Jade shall be given to the guest as a form of apology. ”

Qi Xing smiled and took the wine pot from Manager Qian with a nod. As he was about to close the door, Manager Qian saw this and quickly said, “Esteemed customer, please enjoy yourself slowly. I will go down first.” Seeing that Qi Xing had closed the door, the smile on Shopkeeper Qian’s face changed. Shopkeeper Qian had a sinister look on his face. He no longer had that respectful expression from before as he hurriedly went downstairs and left.

“I didn’t expect the alcohol to be so small. I can actually take a few drinks.” Qi Xing gave himself a cup of wine and slowly tasted it. Squinting his eyes, he started drinking at a much slower rate than when he had swallowed the wine in one gulp. He could not bear to swallow it even when he felt the sweet alcohol coming from the tip of his tongue. With a sigh, he slowly finished all the wine in the pot, and a few traces of redness appeared on Qi Xing’s face.

“Ding, ding,” a few soft colliding sounds were heard. What was that sound? Qi Xing suspiciously listened quietly and the voice disappeared. He shook the wine pot in his hand, wanting to pour out a few more drops of wine. That sound came again. Qi Xing was stunned, the voice came from the wine pot!

A trace of doubt flashed across Qi Xing’s face. She opened the lid of the jug and poured out a few ice particles from the jug. Just as he was about to exclaim, a thought flashed across his mind. Suddenly, Qi Xing saw some white powder in the ice! What was that? Qi Xing took it in his hand and looked at it. After a while, the ice particles melted and the white powder was revealed. Could it be that this was the reason why this Snow Jade was so refreshing and sweet? He had discovered such an important secret so easily?

As questions and doubts piled up in Qi Xing’s mind, his expression suddenly changed. This was not some secret that he had been thinking about. It could very possibly be poison! What a brilliant technique! Right at that moment, Qi Xing felt his limbs go limp, and a wave of dizziness hit him. Qi Xing tried his best to throw the dizziness out, but to no avail. He was poisoned! The three words appeared in front of him right before he started feeling dizzy. After standing up and beating him twice, his eyes turned dark and he collapsed down to the ground.

Before long, the door to Qi Xing’s room was forced open from the outside. They didn’t attract the attention of the servants in the inn. Two youths wearing cyan gowns scurried in and saw Qi Xing lying unconscious on the ground. The duo retrieved a gunny sack from their back and placed Qi Xing into it. The two of them carried Qi Xing out the door. As they left, they did not forget to take the White Spirit Sword that was hanging on the bed with them. The two left the backyard of the inn and quickly disappeared into the night.

“Young Master Wang, the matter has been settled.” In a restaurant not too far away from the Dazhou Hall, a young man smiled and said to another person under the flame of a candle.

“Very well, let’s go.” It turned out that this person was the young man surnamed Wang who came to see Shopkeeper Qian!

Several shadows took advantage of the darkness of night to speed towards the south. The only sounds that could be heard in the silent night were the occasional barking and the noises from the brightly lit brothels.

“Tell Xie Zhenjiang that I have the person in my hands. If he wants to save face for his daughter, then tell him to pay the appropriate price!” One of the people said in a low voice.

“Yes sir!” As soon as he said that, one of them left the group and sped off in another direction.

“Young Master Wang, are we going to fall out with Xie Zhenjiang now?” Someone suddenly said.

The figure in the midst of the flying figure paused slightly. His face revealed a faint moonlight. It was none other than the young man surnamed Wang! At this moment, the youth surnamed Wang was leading a few disciples in green robes as they sped through the night sky. If I can get Xie Zhenjiang to hand over that thing, then my martial arts will soar. Then I can slowly wipe out Xie Zhenjiang’s forces and eliminate him from the Cloud Water Sect. At that time, the position of Elders in the Cloudwater Sect was still in this young master’s possession! ”

“Will he give it up for this boy? Why don’t we catch his daughter? ” Another young man asked doubtfully.

“I have already said, this is only a transaction, not the time for an official showdown. If we capture his daughter, she will definitely go berserk, and be on high alert towards us. There will be obstacles everywhere, so this young master’s plan is extremely disadvantageous! ” The youth surnamed Wang clearly knew that he did not have the ability to deal with Xie Zhenjiang. But that thing must be obtained by the youth surnamed Wang. To those who did not understand it, it was just a somewhat expensive painting. But no one knew what was in the painting! This happened just in time. The youth surnamed Wang felt that the opportunity had come!

The young man surnamed Wang was truly Wang Hongjun! Two days ago, Wang Hongjun went to visit Xie Zhenjiang and happened to see the painting that Xie Zhenjiang had collected. At the time, he also asked Xie Zhenjiang to change hands with him, but Xie Zhenjiang was also very fond of painting. Furthermore, the two of them had never been on good terms with each other in the Cloud Water Sect. Xie Zhenjiang had seen Wang Hongshuang as someone who relied on his uncle’s status as an elder of the Cloud Water Sect to not put him in his eyes. Xie Zhenjiang’s temper was also explosive and his temperament was extremely arrogant. Wang Hongjun also looked at the elder seat in Xie Zhenjiang’s office. It could be said that the conflict between the two had been going on for a long time!

I actually forgot about it yesterday. Man, I’m really sorry.
