A life of two souls traveling through time

Chapter 179 Killing someone with a borrowed knife

In Chaoyun City, deep in the alley, in a messy and dilapidated courtyard, the left protector of Yingmen was still sitting motionless in the house with a blue and red mask on. The pair of eyes under the mask were empty and lifeless, like a dead body.

Outside the house, Xuanyu looked up at the sky with a frown on her face.

As for the famous Li from Jiangnan, Xuanyu still did not make another move, which still aroused the suspicion of Zuo Hu. She had no choice but to use the secret medicine Gu Xin that her sister left for her before she left to control Zuo Hu and make him do what she wanted. She could deal with the small Zuo Hu, but facing the entire Ying Sect was like a gnat trying to shake a tree. Therefore, during this period, the leader of Zuo Hu had sent messages to ask twice. She could perfunctorily answer once or twice, but after all, there was no limit to the number of times. If she delayed any further, it would probably arouse the suspicion of the leader.

"Miss, what should we do next? Relying on secret medicine to control Zuo Hu is not a long-term solution. They want you to destroy the Li family. Can you really do it?" Hong Nu behind Xuanyu was also worried. She didn't sympathize with the famous Li in Jiangnan, but the son of the famous Li in Jiangnan was the sweetheart of the girl. If the girl really slaughtered the Li family, even if the son was lucky enough to be protected by her, there would be a blood feud between them.

"We can only kill someone with a borrowed knife and put on a show to temporarily divert the attention of the Shadow Clan." Yan Yu turned around and looked into the house, murderous intent rising in her eyes.

"Then... whose knife do you want to borrow, girl?" Seeing the girl looking at Zuo Hu inside the house, Hong Nu immediately understood and asked again.

Before Yu Yu could speak, she heard a flurry of hurried footsteps outside. Then, two shadow warriors in black pushed open the gate, looking aggrieved:

"Miss Xuanyu, is Lord Zuo Hu here?" One of the black-clad shadowmen asked Xuanyu in the courtyard.

The presence of Xuanyu did not arouse their suspicion. After all, she was the most respected shadow warrior by Lord Zuo Hu.

"Lord Zuo Hu is in the inner room, what happened?" Yan Yu hurriedly turned and walked towards the two black-clad shadow warriors, asking with a faint smile.

"Humph, the Northern Shadowman is going too far and has snatched the tasks from our Southern Shadowman!" another black-clad Shadowman said angrily.

I thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be just another dispute between the North and the South. Huan Yu has always been disgusted by this kind of dog-eat-dog drama just to get an extra bone in front of the master, but now that Zuo Hu is under her control, she can't ignore it.

"Wait a minute, I'll go ask for instructions."

After Yan Yu finished speaking, she walked into the house. Not long after, the two shadow warriors who were waiting outside were also called in:

"Lord Zuo Hu, that Beiyingshi has taken away our mission in Wangcheng and injured our two brothers. Lord Zuo Hu, you must take care of us!"

"Yes, Lord Zuo Hu, they, Beiying, have always relied on their position in a place of great importance to flaunt their power and often cross the line to snatch our tasks. This time, they even injured someone. This is simply too much!"

"Go back and write down the details and give them to me. I will report it to the sect leader and let him do justice for our Nanying." Zuo Hu, who was still sitting motionless in the house, made a hoarse and indifferent voice.

"Yes, Lord Left Protector!" The two Nanying soldiers kneeling on the ground had their eyes shining and responded happily. This time, Lord Left Protector finally did not let them endure it anymore.

"Hongnu, go and invite the third in command to the dilapidated temple outside the city." After the two southern shadow warriors left, Xuanyu suddenly instructed Hongnu behind her.

The North and South Film Studios have been fighting for many years, and the higher-ups must have known about it, but they all turned a blind eye and let it go, which allowed the North Film Studio to become more and more arrogant. Therefore, Yan Yu did not expect that reporting this matter would attract the attention of the Sect Master, but distracting him for a moment could also buy more time for herself.

"You want me to pretend to be a disciple of the Southern Border Poisonous Insect Valley and help you act?"

In the dilapidated temple outside Chaoyun City, Zeng Si looked at Yan Yu in surprise.

"If Third Master feels embarrassed, Xuanyu will never force him." Xuanyu's face was calm and she smiled faintly at Zeng Si.

"Huan...Huanyu, can you tell me what you are going to do?" Zeng Si was indeed a little embarrassed. He was the third in command of Yanjiapo after all. If he pretended to be a disciple of the Southern Xinjiang Poisonous Insect Valley, wouldn't Yanjiapo become a joke if this got out? The eldest and second brothers would definitely not forgive him. But Huanyu was his beloved girl, and he really couldn't bear to reject her. If he had to choose, perhaps he would rather offend the eldest and second brothers.

"If I tell you that I want to kill someone, will you help me?" Yan Yu looked at Zeng Si with a smile.

"Yes." Zeng Si nodded without hesitation.

"You don't even ask me who I want to kill?" Xuan Yu was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

"The person you want to kill must be the one who deserves to die. Anyway, I'm not a good person." Zeng Si said, and suddenly came to Yan Yu boldly, raised his hand to touch her elegant and beautiful face, but was finally frightened by her cold eyes. He took a half step back, lowered his eyes, and said nervously: "I... I just want to help you."

Although he loved her deeply, he still didn't have the courage to express it.

"This is poison, from the Poisonous Insect Valley..." Xuanyu handed a small black bottle to Zeng Si, then stood on tiptoe and whispered the plan into his ear.

The approach of his beloved made Zeng Si so nervous that his heart beat faster. A faint fragrance emanated from her body, which went straight into his nose, but her cold voice in his ears seemed to remind him not to be distracted. It was like the two extremes of ice and fire that made him so painful that he clenched his sweaty hands into fists and forced himself to restrain the lust in his heart.

"Have you remembered?" After saying this, Huan Yu inadvertently glanced at Zeng Si's rolling Adam's apple, only to find that the other person's body was gradually heating up. She hurriedly distanced herself from him and asked with a cold face.

Zeng Si was relieved when Xuanyu left, but at the same time he felt a little lonely. He wiped the sweat from his face, nodded nervously, and finally suppressed the confession that was about to come out of his mouth back into his heart under her cold gaze.

Two days later, Zeng Si brought two of his confidants and disguised themselves as disciples of the Poisonous Insect Valley to a deep alley. Before they entered the yard, the Nan Yingshi who had been waiting outside appeared and stopped them. He stared vigilantly at the three men in front of him who were wearing strange clothes and had long beards.

"I'm looking for the hammer outside the furnace and the blacksmith's drill." Zeng Si stroked the fake beard in front of him and shouted loudly to the Nanyingshi in front of him with an expressionless face.

"Let them in."

At this time, a hoarse voice came from far away in the house. Nan Yingshi heard that it was the order of Lord Zuo Hu, so he let them go.

"The Poisonous Insect Valley is here to visit us, so we should strike while the iron is hot!" After entering the yard, Zeng Si opened his arms and walked into the house.

That night, Xuanyu calculated that the time was almost up, so she went to the courtyard alone. As soon as she entered the alley, she saw a southern actor running out in a panic.

"What happened?" Yan Yu pulled the man and asked with a cold face.

"Miss Xuanyu, Lord Zuo Hu...Lord Zuo Hu has died of poisoning..." When the man saw it was Xuanyu, he hurriedly reported.

"How could Lord Zuo Hu die of poisoning out of the blue?" Yan Yu pretended to be shocked and continued to ask.

"It's the Poison Insect Valley!" At this time, two more Southern Shadow Warriors came out of the courtyard and replied, "Today during the day, three people who claimed to be from the Southern Frontier Poison Insect Valley said they wanted to find Lord Zuo Hu to forge weapons. Lord Zuo Hu seemed to know them and invited them into the house to talk. After about an hour, the three people left in a hurry. Lord Zuo Hu was fine at the time, but just now... just now he suddenly died of the poison."

Xuanyu didn't say anything else, but walked into the house with a sullen face.
