Zhang Heng had been looking forward to the reward, but he didn't expect to get it. Instead, he got a big slap.
He asked with a confused face, "General, you said Qin Haodong is still alive? That's impossible. I've already cut off his head."
Jiang Bin kicked him to the ground and said angrily, "Bullsh * t, General Xiahou and I just saw Qin Haodong. He didn't even lose a hair, let alone his head."
Zhang Heng said, "That's impossible. I clearly cut off his head."
Xiahou Hongxiang said with a gloomy face, "Where is the head?"
"I threw it on the side of the road, but I can find it now."
Xiahou Hongxiang said, "Take us with you."
Zhang Heng got up from the ground and rushed to the bushes he had passed last night with Xiahou Hongxiang and Jiang Bin.
After arriving here, the thick smell of blood was still there. He jumped into the bushes and took out a head that was covered in dried blood.
"General, look, I really killed him …"
Zhang Heng said and raised the head in his hand.
When Jiang Bin saw the face of the head, he was infuriated and sent Zhang Heng flying again with a kick.
"Look who the f * ck did you just kill?"
Zhang Heng was kicked and didn't know what was going on. He looked down and found that it was Li Gao's head in his hand.
Jiang Bin said angrily, "Zhang Heng, I asked you to kill Qin Haodong, but you killed Li Gao. What do you mean?"
"I … General, I really killed Qin Haodong …"
Zhang Heng was completely dumbfounded. He clearly saw Qin Haodong lying on the bed and then cut off his head with a knife. How could it be Li Gao?
Jiang Bin looked at him with disgust. "What's the use of keeping a piece of trash like you?"
Then he waved his hand behind him, and seven or eight guards immediately rushed over, pressed Zhang Heng to the ground, and cut off his head with a knife.
Xiahou Hongxiang didn't even look at Zhang Heng and rushed back to the General's Mansion angrily. Jiang Bin followed him closely.
"Please forgive me, General."
Jiang Bin said.
"Forget it." Xiahou Hongxiang said with a gloomy expression, "This Qin brat is extremely cunning. It seems that he still has some unknown methods."
Jiang Bin gritted his teeth and said, "General, why don't I take some people and surround him tonight? Let's see how many heads he has left."
"You go out first. I'll think about it first."
Xiahou Hongxiang waved his hand in annoyance and asked Jiang Bin to leave.
He did want to kill Qin Haodong, but he didn't want to make too much noise. He didn't want to have a bad relationship with Princess Xing Yue.
Just as he was thinking about how to kill Qin Haodong quietly, a black shadow suddenly appeared in his room.
This person was wearing a black robe and a ghost mask on his face. His entire body was filled with a dense ghostly aura.
"People from the Ghost King Sect."
After realizing the identity of this person, Xiahou Hongxiang's body immediately tensed up. His Genuine Qi circulated crazily, ready to attack at any time.
The person opposite him said, "General Xiahou, don't be nervous. I'm here to discuss cooperation with you."
"Cooperation?" Xiahou Hongxiang said, "I can't think of any cooperation with you people from the Ghost King Sect."
However, he didn't dare to act rashly, because the person opposite him had a strong aura, and his cultivation was not lower than his. He must have a prominent status in the Ghost King Sect.
The man in black said, "General Xiahou, just a few days ago, Qin Haodong killed the ghost slave of our Ghost King Sect and the Ghost Lady Zhong Xiaodie of the Ghost King Sect. Do you think there is a possibility of cooperation between us?"
Xiahou Hongxiang's expression changed. "You also want to kill Qin Haodong?"
The man in black said in a cold voice, "No one can kill the people of our Ghost King Sect and come out unscathed."
Xiahou Hongxiang quickly calmed down. Although he really wanted to kill Qin Haodong, the Ghost King Sect was the enemy of the Black Tortoise Kingdom after all.
He said, "Your Ghost King Sect is now wanted by the entire Black Tortoise Kingdom. It's good that I didn't kill you. There is no possibility of cooperation at all."
The man in black didn't show any fear. He continued, "I know what you are worried about. Tonight, our Ghost King Sect will take action against Qin Haodong. As long as you wait and see and don't send people to get involved, it will be fine."
Xiahou Hongxiang's heart moved. As long as he didn't get involved with the people of the Ghost King Sect, he wouldn't be caught. This kind of cooperation was still possible.
He said, "I can accept your suggestion, but you must promise not to hurt Princess Xingyue and the others."
The man in black said coldly, "We only want to kill Qin Haodong."
"Deal." Xiahou Hongxiang said, "Tonight, I will transfer the City Defense Army away from the yard. It will be convenient for you to take action then."
"Okay!"
The man in black said and then quickly disappeared from the room.
Xiahou Hongxiang wandered around the room twice and felt that there were no loopholes in the matter. He called Jiang Bin and told him what had just happened.
Jiang Bin said, "General, do you think the people of the Ghost King Sect are trustworthy?"
Xiahou Hongxiang said, "Although the people of the Ghost King Sect are cunning, I heard from Xiao Yulong that Qin Haodong did kill the 12 Ghost Slaves of the Ghost King Sect and killed the Ghost King's Ghost Concubine, Zhong Xiaodie, in the Seventh Stage Pagoda.
"With the Ghost King Sect's character of seeking revenge for the smallest grievance, they will definitely not spare this boy. Moreover, we don't need to do anything about this matter, and no one else will catch us.
"So I think we can give it a try. Tonight, you can transfer the City Defense Army away from the yard and let the people of the Ghost King Sect do it for us.
"If the boy surnamed Qin dies in the hands of the Ghost King Sect, Princess Xingyue's anger will only be directed at the Ghost King Sect. It will have nothing to do with us."
Jiang Bin raised his thumb and said, "General, this is indeed a good way to kill people with a borrowed knife. I will arrange it now."
Just as Xiahou Hongxiang and Jiang Bin decided to kill people with a borrowed knife, in a room not far from them, a middle-aged woman in her fifties was looking at the guard in front of her angrily.
"Have you found out? Yesterday, when the general returned to Pegasus City, he did not directly go back to the mansion. Where did he go? And this morning, after breakfast, he ran out. Where did he go? "
This woman was Xiahou Hongxiang's wife, Zhangsun Lan. She was the distant niece of the national commander, Sun Cheng. Xiahou Hongxiang had relied on this wife's nepotism to get in touch with Wu Yueniang.
Otherwise, with his ordinary ability and low cultivation, it would have been impossible for him to sit in the position he had today.
However, there was always a price to pay. Xiahou Hongxiang's wife was extremely fierce and kept a close eye on him. She almost cut off all contact between him and any other women.
Just yesterday, Zhangsun Lan found that after her man returned to the city, he did not directly go home. Instead, he went somewhere else. Suddenly, she became suspicious.
Xiahou Hongxiang also had his own considerations. His brother and nephew had been killed by Qin Haodong, and he could do nothing about it. Naturally, he did not want such a shameful thing to be spread out.
Therefore, after returning, he did not reveal Zhao Xingyue's identity, nor did he explain the situation to his wife.
The more he did this, the more suspicious Zhangsun Lan became, so she sent someone out early to inquire about the situation.
The guard was Hu Zhiwen, the chief guard of the General's Mansion, and also Zhangsun Lan's confidant. He said, "Madam, I have already checked it out. After coming back yesterday, the general went directly to the yard. He also went there this morning."
"The yard?" Zhangsun Lan said with a fierce look, "That's where I spend my summer vacation. There is no one there at all. What is he doing there?"
Hu Zhiwen said, "I don't know the specific situation, but there are people living there now."
Zhangsun Lan asked, "People living there? Who lives there? "
Hu Zhiwen said, "I don't know the specific identity, but I saw six very beautiful young women in the yard."
He was Zhangsun Lan's confidant from her mother's family, so naturally, he would not hide anything from Xiahou Hongxiang.
Zhangsun Lan grabbed the teacup in front of her and smashed it to the ground. She shouted angrily, "This old thing, how dare he hide a mistress behind my back. See how I will deal with him."
After that, she walked out of the room aggressively. Hu Zhiwen hurriedly stopped her and said, "Madam, what are you going to do?"
"Of course I'm going to settle accounts with that old thing. I'm not dead yet, and he dares to keep women behind my back."
Hu Zhiwen said, "Madam, this matter must be considered in the long run. We can't rush it.
"If you go now, the general will refuse to admit it. He will turn around and ask someone to send those women away, but there is no evidence at all.
"If the general is vigilant, it will not be easy to find those women in the future."
"That's right." Zhangsun Lan calmed down a lot. She knew that her chief guard was full of tricks. She asked, "Then what do you think I should do?"
Hu Zhiwen said with a sinister smile, "Madam, you forget that to catch a thief, you must catch the stolen goods, and to catch the adulterers, you must catch both of them. Of course, we have to go to the yard to catch those women first. At that time, it will be impossible for the general to deny it."
"You're right. Let's go catch those fox spirits first, and then we'll settle accounts with that old thing." Zhangsun Lan cried, "Hurry up and call the trusted guards of the mansion. Let's go to the yard to catch those little demons now."
"Okay, madam, I'll do it right away!"
After Hu Zhiwen finished speaking, he immediately summoned 30 guards. These people were the elites of the mansion. The lowest cultivation had reached the Soul Formation Stage, and seven or eight of them had reached the Void Training Stage.
Zhangsun Lan brought these people and came to the courtyard in a threatening manner.
Qin Haodong, Zhao Xingyue and others had just finished breakfast when they heard a loud bang outside. The door was kicked open.
Then, more than 30 people rushed in from the outside, led by an old woman with a fierce face.
The Little Witch asked, "Who are you? Who asked you to come? "
"This is my house. I can come and go as I please. Do I need to report to you?"
Zhangsun Lan looked at Zhao Xingyue, the Little Witch, Murong Jinghong and other women. She automatically ignored Qin Haodong.
"This old thing hid so many fox spirits. No wonder he didn't come back home."
Qin Haodong immediately understood that this woman was Xiahou Hongxiang's wife. She came to catch him in the act.
As the little princess of the Black Tortoise Academy, the Little Witch had never suffered a loss. Now that she was called a fox spirit, she immediately put her hands on her hips and said discontentedly, "Old woman, who are you calling a fox spirit?"
"Bitch!
Son, how dare you call me an old hag! "
Zhangsun Lan had always been domineering in the General's Mansion. No one had ever called her an old woman.
Hu Zhiwen cried, "Little girl, do you know who you're talking to?"
The Little She-Devil shouted, "Who cares? She's just an ugly old woman!"
"You … you …"
Zhangsun Lan trembled all over and was about to go crazy with anger.
Zhao Xingyue frowned. She was now a princess, so she was naturally different from before.
"Who are you? And who allowed you to come here? "
Hu Zhiwen said, "Little girl, this is our General Xiahou's wife, Mrs. Zhangsun.
Kneel down and apologize quickly, and she may spare your life. Otherwise, you'll have to bear the consequences. "
Zhao Xingyue was furious. "How dare you talk to me like this? Where is Xiahou Hongxiang? Ask him to come and see me quickly!"
