Chapter 229: The Red Tassel is not a Spear (Nuclear energy continues)

Wan Wan Jinxian returned to the village, feeling his way with a blind man's cane, and sent a message to He He Jiaqing.

"The matter failed. Han Han Juncheng couldn't take in Zhao Zhao Xiaowan and was pinned to the door of the mansion."

He He Jiaqing was in an extremely bad mood.

He knew Han Han Juncheng was arrogant and inexperienced.

But it wasn't easy to find a sixth-layer residential cultivator, so He He Jiaqing accommodated him in every way, and he had wanted to wait for a better opportunity before letting Han Han Juncheng take action.

Unexpectedly, the dark piece he had carefully cultivated for many years beside Tiemenbao was gone just like that.

This wasn't Old Wan's fault, and He He Jiaqing had no reason to vent his anger on him.

Old Wan asked: "How should we deal with the next step?"

He He Jiaqing thought for a long time and said: "Wait for the Jiang Xiang Gang's move. If Luo Zhengnan can succeed, then intercept the loot from his hands."

Wan Wan Jinxian agreed: "Intercepting the loot is the best strategy, but I'm worried that Luo Zhengnan will find it difficult to succeed.

A sixth-layer residential cultivator couldn't even be considered a person in front of that house spirit. In all my years of walking the rivers and lakes, this is the first time I've encountered such a situation."

"Flying General Zhao Zhao Xiaowan, one of the leaders of the traveling cultivators, is naturally not an ordinary character. It's a pity that we have too few residential cultivators in our hands. A slight negligence, and we miss the opportunity.

But if Tiemenbao wants to hand Zhao Zhao Xiaowan over to Luo Zhengnan, that's another matter.

Tiemenbao has plenty of residential cultivators. Failing once is fine; we can come again. Among three hundred residential cultivators, there will always be someone who can succeed."

In He He Jiaqing's eyes, these residential cultivators were just numbers.

Speaking of this, He He Jiaqing sighed: "Tiemenbao is a good place. I will eventually have to hold this place in my hands. Old Wan, you've worked hard tonight. Don't enter Tiemenbao again in the coming days, so as not to attract suspicion."

Li Li Banfeng stood in front of the mansion door, looking at Han Han Juncheng, who was still wailing.

He wanted to ask what this person had experienced in the side building, but looking at that imposing long spear, Li Li Banfeng really didn't dare to get close.

Was this long spear the original body of the house spirit?

Who sent this person who was pinned to the door?

The Jiang Xiang Gang or some other force?

Li Li Banfeng couldn't figure it out, but he knew Tiemenbao was about to have a major event.

If this house spirit couldn't be dealt with in time, Tiemenbao would face a catastrophe.

"Dad! Save me! Save me!" Han Han Juncheng was still screaming.

That wailing made one's hair stand on end.

Han Han Juncheng's affair spread in Tiemenbao.

There was an evil spirit in the fort; someone had been pinned to death at the door of the east side building of the mansion, died in the restricted area of Tiemenbao!

What kind of omen was this?

This was an omen of impending disaster!

The residential cultivators, who were usually superstitious, were all terrified. Some bought incense and candles, some bought talismans, and some even replaced their door gods with new ones!

Luo Zhengnan was selling vegetables at the market when Sun Sun Xiaoan, the sage of the second helm, walked over, pretending to pick vegetables while secretly talking to Luo Zhengnan.

"There was some movement in Tiemenbao. Someone broke into the restricted area last night, seemingly to steal something, and was pinned to the door of the restricted area. They wailed for a whole day before they died."

"Who?" Luo Zhengnan's brows immediately furrowed.

"Haven't found out their origin yet."

Luo Zhengnan gritted his teeth slightly: "Damn it, who came to take action at this time? I'm afraid that Fort Master will suspect us."

"Should we go into Tiemenbao again and explain the matter to the Fort Master?"

"Can it be explained clearly? If we go into Tiemenbao to talk now, the Fort Master will think we are threatening him!"

Sun Sun Xiaoan said: "Since we know the item is in the restricted area, why don't you send someone to probe it?"

Luo Zhengnan looked at Sun Sun Xiaoan and lowered his eyelids: "Old thing, you've sent away several helm masters. Are you thinking of sending me, this branch master, away too?"

Sun Sun Xiaoan didn't speak; he couldn't think of a good countermeasure either.

Luo Zhengnan sent away two vegetable buyers and said to Sun Sun Xiaoan: "We can't be anxious about this matter. There are still two days. We'll wait for the Fort Master's move.

If he is willing to take action, we will still pay to buy it. Adding more money is fine.

If he is not willing to take action, we will leave immediately, the faster the better.

Old Sun, remind the others to be careful, guard against Tiemenbao, and also guard against people of unknown origin.

If the deal is done, be even more careful. Guard against Tiemenbao playing tricks, and also guard against others intercepting the loot!"

Li Li Banfeng returned to the "Personal Residence" and sat in front of the phonograph: "Lady, what kind of person is Zhao Zhao Xiaowan?"

*Chir-chir~*

"Why is husband asking about her again?"

Li Li Banfeng said: "I saw her kill someone today, and I always feel that this person is truly vicious."

*Clang-clang-clang~ tai~*

The Lady played the gongs and drums and sang:

"Vicious can't really be said. It's just that she stayed on the battlefield for too long and didn't take this life too seriously.

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan was a general, a quite famous general. She knew how to fight and had won many victories.

She governed the army very strictly, and her subordinates were all quite afraid of her; they had all received her beatings.

Besides these, she didn't have any special features."

Li Li Banfeng remembered the description in the novel: "Some say she was adopted by the emperor as a foster daughter, became a princess, and even took a husband."

If this husband could be found, perhaps Zhao Zhao Xiaowan could be subdued.

*Chir-chir~*

The phonograph laughed: "How could she have such good luck? The emperor wouldn't just adopt a foster daughter casually.

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan only knew how to fight and knew nothing else. She never thought about the matter of a husband. In her eyes, there was no difference between men and women."

It seemed this ending didn't match Zhao Zhao Xiaowan's true situation.

Li Li Banfeng asked again: "Others say she guarded the border and fought the enemy for a lifetime. Is this true?"

The Lady sighed: "She wanted to. For someone like her, dying on the battlefield could be considered dying in her proper place.

But she didn't have such good luck. Because she had made some contributions, she was summoned back to the capital."

Li Li Banfeng said: "And then because her merits were too great, she was thrown into prison?"

"Yes, in prison, she lived worse than a dog."

"And then there was a war, and Zhao Zhao Xiaowan was sent to the battlefield again?"

"Yes, you say how cheap this person is. When told to go to battle, she went, fighting with all her might!"

"And then died on the battlefield?"

*Chir-chir~*

The Lady laughed for a long time: "If she had died on the battlefield, it would have been fine; it could be considered that she hadn't lived this life in vain.

She was sold out by her own subordinates. She didn't die at the hands of the enemy, but died at the hands of her own people.

You say how cheap this bitch's life is? You say, is her life a joke?"

Li Li Banfeng was silent for a long time, suddenly feeling a sense of desolation for Zhao Zhao Xiaowan.

But even with so much desolation, she couldn't be spared now.

The Lady's grudge had to be avenged.

The situation in Tiemenbao also had to be broken!

"Lady, I have decided. This house spirit must be taken in."

"Husband, are you truly doing this to avenge the little slave?"

"Truly!" Li Li Banfeng answered very decisively.

"Husband has this intention, the little slave is satisfied in her heart. The little slave entrusts this life to you, willing to serve you for a lifetime.

But as for the matter of revenge, it is really not the time right now. That house spirit is blind and deaf. Even if husband calls her name, how can she hear it?

And for a house spirit to recognize a master, it must be mutually willing. That house spirit has overwhelming resentment. If you are not careful and anger her, husband will find it difficult to retreat unscathed."

Li Li Banfeng said: "That house spirit just lost her master. Taking advantage of her inner emptiness to take her in, isn't it just the right time?"

*Chir-chir~*

The phonograph laughed: "Husband saying this makes the little slave jealous. Even if that bitch is willing to agree, husband and that side building have not yet matched, so you might not be able to bring that bitch out.

Husband, you are the little slave's heart and liver. If you have even a little mishap, the little slave would not want to live alone in the world. Let's put this matter aside for now."

The Lady wanted to put it aside, but could the Jiang Xiang Gang put it aside?

Li Li Banfeng sighed and left the "Personal Residence."

"Hahahahahaha!" A hearty laugh suddenly came from the sixth room.

"Bitch, what are you laughing at?" The phonograph scolded angrily.

Red Lotus laughed until her whole body trembled, laughing until she was covered in dew.

The Jiang Xiang Gang couldn't put it aside, but Luo Zhengnan could.

He wasn't as stubborn as Xiao Xiao Zhenggong.

His idea was that if this Fort Master was willing to sell Zhao Zhao Xiaowan, he would pay to take her; if the Fort Master wasn't willing to sell, the matter would end there, just as if he had made a wasted trip.

He was an open-minded person; he would do his best, but he was determined not to risk his life.

But He He Jiaqing wasn't so open-minded.

The fortune teller sent him news: Luo Zhengnan had already sneaked into Tiemenbao.

"Bad, Luo Zhengnan is someone who can get things done!" He He Jiaqing immediately became nervous. "Can't wait any longer. Old Wan, you go to East Ridge Stronghold and find a person named Han Han Juncheng.

He is a sixth-rank residential cultivator. Find a way to bring him into Tiemenbao and lead Zhao Zhao Xiaowan out."

The fortune teller was a bit worried: "Zhao Zhao Xiaowan is not an ordinary character. Relying on a single sixth-layer residential cultivator, I'm afraid it's not stable enough."

He He Jiaqing said: "I know it's not stable, which is why I haven't let him take action until now. But now the situation is urgent, and I can't care about so much.

Han Han Juncheng is arrogant, his speech is annoying, and he has no experience in doing things. You accommodate him a bit.

He is a dark piece I have hidden for many years and will have great use in the future. Don't haggle over small matters with him, and take care of him in big matters. After the matter is done, you take the item and leave Pu Luo Continent immediately. He will stay in Tiemenbao."

PS: What exactly is Red Lotus laughing at?

(End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 230 =====

It must match the other party's temperament, especially the imposing manner of a military general.

Li Li Banfeng pondered for a moment and asked, "How about silver dollars?"

Niangzi thought about it and expressed her agreement: "That bitch truly loves money. Silver dollars are certainly good, but since she cannot see, I fear it will be difficult to move her."

She cannot see or hear, so I estimate that something like a music box would also be inappropriate.

What kind of gift would suit her?

Li Li Banfeng recalled the scene when Niangzi and Zhao Zhao Xiaowan first met.

She said she smelled the scent of powder on Niangzi.

"Niangzi, what do you think if I send her some rouge?"

The phonograph became annoyed again: "Husband, how can you send rouge to that bitch? Do you know that rouge cannot be sent casually?"

"Niangzi, calm down!"

It is said that the hatred of a father's murder is the greatest, but Li Li Banfeng felt that the hatred of one's own murder is even more terrifying.

Niangzi's emotions became extremely easy to lose control.

"I am sending her rouge to win her favor and make her temporarily lower her guard."

Huff~ Huff~

Niangzi panted for a long time before calming down again: "Don't buy very good rouge; just buy some casually on the street."

"Niangzi, I am truly doing serious business. Buying some good rouge will make it easier to move her."

"She doesn't like good rouge; that kind of cheap, vulgar stuff on the street is exactly what she likes."

Li Li Banfeng comforted her: "Niangzi, let's not be angry about this. Back then, she said you used rouge that cost two coppers a box; do you want to get even for just that bit of hatred?"

Niangzi said angrily: "So what if I used two-copper rouge? She even treasures one-copper rouge like it's precious! We are both of such lowly fate, what right does she have to talk about me?"

Li Li Banfeng nodded: "I will prepare the rouge. What other gifts are suitable?"

Niangzi thought carefully: "That bitch loves to be vain; bring her some flowers. The more fragrant the flowers, the better."

Flowers.

Easy to handle.

Li Li Banfeng actually knew someone who sold flowers.

"Husband, prepare the gifts, but don't rush to approach her yet. Wait until the imposing manner on her body lessens, then walk closer to her."

Li Li Banfeng nodded: "I have noted it down."

"Husband, if you feel that the imposing manner on her body has grown, hurry back to the residence. As fast as you can, just run back. As for how to get out, we will discuss that after you return."

"Don't worry, Niangzi."

"Husband, that bitch is narrow-minded. When you are writing, do not write in critical places, so as not to annoy her."

"Rest assured, I know my limits."

"Husband, that bitch loves face. Be polite to her and absolutely do not argue with her."

"She can't even hear, how can I argue with her?"

"Husband, that bitch truly loves money. When you bring the gifts, bring silver dollars too. Even if she can't see, she might be able to smell them."

"Fine, I will bring them."

"Husband, you must remember, that bitch is not called Zhao Zhao Xiaowan."

Li Li Banfeng was startled: "Then what is she called?"

"That bitch is called Xiang Xiang Hongying."

"Xiang Xiang Hongying? Xiang Xiang Hongying... Hong, Red Tassel Spear?" Li Li Banfeng was dumbfounded.

"There are many fallacies in the rumors of the world. Xiang Xiang Hongying is not a spear; she is just skilled at using a long spear."

"She is not Zhao Zhao Xiaowan?"

"No." Niangzi answered very firmly.

"Then who is Zhao Zhao Xiaowan?"

Niangzi fell into silence again.

Li Li Banfeng remembered the first time he mentioned the name Zhao Zhao Xiaowan in front of Niangzi; Niangzi had also been silent for a long time.

In front of a residence spirit, calling out the residence spirit's name—if the residence spirit does not resist, it means they have acknowledged their master.

Niangzi knows how to fight.

When they were in the Small Huang Quan, Li Li Banfeng had encountered a group of ghosts. Those ghosts looked like soldiers, and at that time, they had been very obedient in front of Niangzi.

Could it be...

"Niangzi, are you..."

"Husband!" That song "Heart and Liver Treasure" drifted out from the phonograph again. The singing was still as tender as ever, only Niangzi's speech was slightly stuttering,

"You are the master, the master, the backbone of this little slave. Husband, this little slave's revenge can go unavenged, but husband must return safely!"
