The Elixir is for You, The Poison is for Me

Although shocked, the two disciples dared not refute, since their teacher, Master Dongli, had already spoken.

They could only lower their heads and continue pulling the donkey cart forward until they reached the gate of Lintian Prefecture, where one of the disciples couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, just now…"

"The world is in turmoil now. The troubles in the three northwestern prefectures have not been settled, and Zhaozong has returned. This man was once the orthodox ruler of the world. As soon as he appeared, many prefectures rebelled with him. Now Zhaozong's power is great, and he has swallowed up most of the southeast in one go. Moreover, he has united with those foreign tribes in the northwest, showing a clear ambition to seize the world."

Master Dongli sighed.

But the two students were even more confused after hearing this. They didn't understand what the deteriorating situation in the Nine Provinces had to do with Master Dongli's quick retreat upon seeing the Prince of Yun's waist牌 (牌pái).

Seeing this, Master Dongli could only continue to explain, "With the world in such chaos, the Emperor's suspicion is growing heavier. He looks at the officials and generals and sees rebellious thoughts in everyone's mind, so he relies more and more on eunuchs and his own family members."

"Especially Prince Yun Si, who is the Emperor's own brother. Now he holds great power in the court and is recruiting martial arts heroes under the Emperor's decree, regardless of their background, to form the Heroic Guard."

"It is said that he plans to guard the capital together with the Imperial Guards. If we want our reform to continue, we must not provoke these people."

After saying that, Master Dongli stroked his beard again, "A small impatience will spoil great plans. The more it is like this, the more careful we must be. To achieve great ambitions, sometimes we must sacrifice some minor matters, understand?"

The two disciples nodded in agreement, but they always felt that something was not quite right.

…………

On the other side, after Master Dongli and his disciples left, the Shi brothers looked at the panicked girl, not knowing where to escape, with malicious smiles on their faces.

The girl's face showed extreme fear.

However, what she didn't know was that the more she was like this, the more it would arouse the evil thoughts in men's hearts.

Especially when Shi Da's fingers just touched the girl's Adam's apple, the delicate feeling caused some changes in his body.

He couldn't wait any longer and didn't want to take the girl back to the city, so he directly grabbed the girl and threw her on his back.

At the same time, he threatened, "If you dare to come down, I will kill you."

After saying that, he and his brother left the official road and walked towards the nearby forest.

The girl's body trembled even more violently, just like a sieve.

The Shi brothers didn't go too far. Seeing that there was no one around, they couldn't wait to throw the girl into a patch of grass. Then, regardless of the girl's tearful face and pleading eyes, Shi Da and Shi Er began to take off their pants.

While undressing, Shi Da also said, "Haha, I was so憋坏 (憋壞biē huài) on the boat. If there weren't so many people around and we didn't want to cause trouble, we brothers would have done it there."

After he finished speaking, he found that his brother didn't echo him as usual, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange. When he turned his head, he found that there was something extra on Shi Er's forehead at some point.

—It was a small knife, stuck in the center of Shi Er's eyebrows.

And that was the reason why he couldn't speak.

Seeing this scene, Shi Da couldn't help but shudder and immediately sobered up, and then quickly felt grief from it.

The two of them were originally a pair of bandit brothers. They lost their parents since they were young and depended on each other for life. Later, seeing that they were about to starve to death, they went to Black Tiger Ridge together. At first, because they were young, they could only do some chores and watch the sentry to make a living.

Unexpectedly, both of them had good aptitude for martial arts. Later, they were accepted as disciples by the old village owner.

The old village owner was old and his only son had been caught and beheaded by the government more than twenty years ago. He was very attentive to these two disciples and can be said to have taught them everything he knew. He even planned to pass the village to them in the future.

Unfortunately, this hero of the green forest still misjudged people. Seeing that they had learned almost all their skills, the two gradually developed different intentions. Finally, after a discussion, they killed their master and ran away with the gold and silver treasures accumulated in the village for many years.

Afterwards, the two successively did a few big deals, and their reputation rose in the Jianghu, but it also attracted a lot of trouble and was targeted by some righteous masters.

The two began to realize that this was not a long-term solution. It happened that at this time, it was rumored in the Jianghu that Prince Yun Si was going to form the Heroic Guard, recruiting heroes from all over the world for the imperial court. The most important thing was that this selection was unconventional. Even masters with less than glorious pasts would not be rejected by Prince Yun.

So the two brothers joined Prince Yun Si's command. Because they came early, they even got official positions.

The two went to Liuzhou on a secret mission this time, and happened to meet the girl when they came back, and they couldn't help but become lustful.

They thought they could have some fun after landing on the shore, but they didn't expect that happiness hadn't come yet, and with a snap, Yama came first and directly took away his younger brother Shi Er.

The older brother Shi Da was extremely sad. Although the two brothers were cruel, their relationship was very good and they had always been inseparable.

But now they were separated forever.

Shi Da was both sad and frightened, and shouted, "Which expert is it? Why not show yourself?"

However, he didn't get any response after shouting.

At this time, Shi Da finally noticed the girl he had thrown aside. The latter's face no longer had any fear or fear at this moment, and she was looking at him with a smile.

A bone-chilling chill rose in Shi Da's heart, and he asked in surprise, "Was… was it you who did it?"

The girl, who had originally been silenced, actually opened her mouth and said at this time, "You were the ones who made the first move. Not only did I not care about it, but I also sent a gift to your brother. It seems that he also liked it very much."

"妖女 (yāonǚ), you, who exactly are you?!" Shi Da's eyes were about to split.

"You said it yourself, I'm a 妖女 (yāonǚ)," the girl chuckled. "I come from the Joyful Palace, and my name is Tong Tang."

"A member of the Demonic Path?" Shi Da's face suddenly turned ugly. "You… you, are targeting us, are you trying to absorb the power of my two brothers?"

Tong Tang laughed out loud. She used the gentlest tone but said the most embarrassing words to Shi Da.

"You are worthy?"

Just these four words made Shi Da's whole person furious and shouted, "妖女 (yāonǚ), return my brother's life!"

After saying that, he rushed over.

Tong Tang didn't move, just looked at Shi Da with a smile that was not a smile. After the latter ran three steps, his body suddenly softened and he fell to the ground.

"You insisted on carrying me on your back. I wanted to come down at that time, but you wouldn't let me," Tong Tang stood up, pulled out the small knife from Shi Er's forehead, and then said leisurely.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you. After all, we don't have any deep hatred. However, you lost so embarrassingly in my hands and also lost a brother. It seems that you can't continue to work in Prince Yun's mansion. How about this, I'll do a good deed and introduce you to a new job, what do you think?

"There are wars and deaths everywhere now. Many of the brothels under my Joyful Palace are also short of bodyguards and guards. Although your skills are not good, you look quite fierce and can suppress the scene. However…"

Tong Tang changed her tone, "In view of what you just planned to do to me, in order to prevent you from embezzling in those brothels, I decided to take something from you, hee hee."

After she finished speaking, she showed the small knife in her hand again and walked towards Shi Da with a look of horror.
