Chapter 289 Showdown (9)
The bright lights make even the slightest changes in everyone's expressions visible.
Zhang Xueming read the information from the faces of the three old men and asked, "Strange people? People from the palace who mutated because of long-term, close contact with the meteorite?"
The former Yue Elder clenched his hands hidden in his wide sleeves. He looked at Zhang Xueming deeply, and finally nodded and said, "Yes, so the Red Jade Servant guarding there needs to take turns to guard to prevent too much impact from the meteorite."
Zhang Xueming pouted. He specifically emphasized that they were "Red Jade Attendants". Was he afraid that she would sneak over to see them? Did she look that curious?
"They gathered in one place? Were they driven in, or did they gather there on their own accord?"
"Some of them took the initiative, and some were driven in."
"A cave in the mountain?"
"The underground tunnels are interconnected. Without the blueprints, no one knows how many aliens are hiding inside."
Zhang Xueming frowned: "Is that Feng Gong's former laboratory?"
The former Yue Elder hesitated for a while before gently nodding his head.
"Do aliens have long life spans?"
He nodded after a long while.
Zhang Xueming sighed: "I understand."
No one knew what she understood, and she had no desire to explain, so she changed the question: "Do all aliens act in groups?"
“Usually four or five of them appear together.”
"Are you afraid of light?"
"They are afraid of sunlight, but not light." The former Moon Elder thought for a moment and added, "They have bloodshot eyes, hide during the day, and appear at night. They are irrational, have sharp teeth, crawl on the ground, and roar like wild beasts. They also attack by biting."
"If you can't kill him, can you catch him?"
"It's hard."
"Have you ever tried to throw what you caught into molten iron?"
The three old men were stunned.
"You've never tried it?" Zhang Xueming was surprised. "Drill a hole in the stone coffin, stuff the tied-up alien inside, leave a hole in the coffin lid, and pour molten iron in. Isn't it possible?"
The three old men stared at her.
Zhang Xueming was convinced and waved his hand: "The elders, let someone try it tomorrow and we'll talk about it if it doesn't work. Just because it didn't work a few hundred years ago doesn't mean it will be the same a few hundred years later. With so many of us, we can put our heads together. I don't believe we can't find a way to let those elders rest in peace."
A group of young people nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
Mr. Hua actively suggested: "Dad, the lava spring in our Hua Palace can even melt black iron. Why don't we just tie up an alien... Oh, no, senior, let's put him in and try it out!"
Gong Zishang patted his arm and laughed: "Xiaohei... Oh, no, Xiaohua, your family really lives next to a volcano. You can see lava every day!"
The playboy touched the back of his head and smiled shyly: "Just average, third in the palace."
The atmosphere suddenly became cheerful.
The three old men couldn't understand the young people's thinking. They were just scared about the endless stream of fire, but now they dared to make fun of the volcano.
They looked around at everyone silently and lowered their heads to drink tea.
Gong Shangjiao took the opportunity to announce a quarter-hour break and those who needed to change clothes could go and do so.
The topaz waiters came in and replaced the hot tea and served the snacks again.
When everyone gathered again, Jin Ting came to report that the four Wufeng men had been brought there.
"Brother, bring Yun Weishan and Han Yasi in first?" Zhang Xueming asked.
Gong Shangjiao nodded, and then she said to Gong Yuanzheng: "A Yuan, go and help Master Yu get blood."
Gong Ziyu clenched his fist nervously: "Take blood? Why do you want to take my blood?"
Gong Yuanzheng gave a brief explanation, then walked towards Gong Ziyu with a bowl in one hand and an unsheathed dagger in the other, smiling maliciously.
Gong Ziyu was so shocked that he wanted to stand up, but Gong Huanyu grabbed his neck and held him down. He stretched out his hand to Gong Yuanzheng and said, "Give me the knife, I'll do it."
Gong Yuanzheng actually turned the tip of the knife towards himself, holding the blade and handing the handle over.
Gong Huanyu looked up in surprise and met his gaze, then lowered her eyes again: "You are not afraid."
Before Gong Yuanzheng could say anything, Gong Ziyu struggled hard and shouted, "Brother, it's useless for you to hold me hostage! You have no internal energy left, you can't escape!"
Gong Huanyu frowned in disdain and ordered, "Stop yelling. Stretch out your left hand. If you move it again, I'll cut your arm."
No one came to help her, so Gong Ziyu could only stretch out her left hand with red eyes and trembling hands.
Gong Huanyu let go of his neck, grabbed his left hand, and the tip of the knife quickly scratched the tip of his index finger.
Gong Ziyu didn't dare to look and closed her eyes tightly. She felt a chill on her fingertips and tears squeezed out from under her eyelids.
Gong Yuanzheng curled his lips and quickly put the medicine bowl under his bleeding finger. After collecting a few drops of blood, he took out a medicine bottle from his arms and threw it to him: "Big crybaby, here, the hemostatic medicine."
Gong Ziyu stopped crying immediately, gritted her teeth and widened her eyes: "You are the crybaby!"
He grabbed the hemostatic medicine and pretended to hit Gong Yuanzheng, but saw Gong Yuanzheng took the short knife and left without looking back. He put his hand down again with a snort, looked at Gong Huanyu who was ignoring him again, and pouted as he applied the medicine himself.
Yun Weishan and Han Yasi were brought in and forced to kneel beside the tea room.
Gong Shangjiao asked Huang Yushi to leave. As soon as the palace door was closed, Gong Yuanzheng brought two bowls of medicine to Yun Weishan and Jackdaw Si, put them on the ground, raised his lips, and smiled wickedly: "Drink it, you will be free after drinking it. There is no point in deliberately spilling it, I have plenty of medicine."
The old and young people in the palace gate were speechless when they saw Gong Yuanzheng scaring Gong Ziyu with evil fun and then scaring the two Wufengs.
Looking at Zhang Xueming again, she no longer had the domineering look that overwhelmed the elders. Instead, her eyes were bright and she looked at them intently, full of admiration... Well, they should have known that a lid matches a pot.
Yun Weishan and Han Yasi looked at the light red potion in the shallow blue-gray bowl, their breathing stagnated, and they looked at each other, with unwillingness filling their eyes.
Yun Weishan was obviously affected by the plot in the illusion. She didn't touch the bowl of medicine, but turned around and found Gong Ziyu's position accurately, looking at him with tears in her eyes, begging for mercy.
Gong Ziyu lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Yun Weishan.
As soon as he saw those watery eyes, he would think of the face in the illusion that was covered with dark blue lines and looked like a demon. Especially when it smiled at him, it was so strange and terrifying, as if it would pounce on him and tear him to pieces in the next second...
In just a few seconds, Yun Weishan went from hope to despair. The light in his eyes gradually faded, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and a tear flowed down his cheek, looking pitiful.
Gong Yuanzheng didn't like watching this kind of performance, and urged impatiently: "Come on, stop dawdling. Brother Ziyu would only be kind to his 'real wife' if he wanted to be gentle with women. He wouldn't have any good feelings towards the assassin who took the life of a palace guard... Am I right, Brother Ziyu?"
Gong Ziyu didn't even raise his head, and only said in a muffled voice: "You know, but you're still asking."
"Don't be afraid, we'll go together, and we'll have company on the road to the underworld." Jackdaw patted Yun Weishan soothingly, picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp, "Let's go, Yun Que is still waiting for us."
Yun Weishan wiped his tears with his sleeves, forced a smile and nodded, then drank the potion.
then……
Then Yun Weishan and Han Yasi watched a group of old and young people from the palace chatting together as if no one was around.
The two men knelt for a full quarter of an hour until their knees became numb. Then they heard Gong Yuanzheng say, "Raise your hands and show me your Cunguan acupoints."
Yun Weishan and Han Yasi wanted to say something, but Zhang Xueming swept over with a pressure, and said with a smile: "Do as A Yuan said, I don't want to say it a second time."
The two men, who were still frightened, rolled up their sleeves, raised their hands, and showed the Cunguan acupoints where the blood spots appeared in front of everyone.
Zhang Xueming held his forehead and sighed, "Sure enough, I was wondering how it was possible for Chief Wufeng to hand over two members of the Feng family, Yun Weishan and Yun Que, to the same Jackdaw."
