Chapter 212 Mantis Catches Cicadas and Yellow Sparrows Behind
Hu Xiaoxian pointed at Lei Tianrui and said, “Haodong, we are going to the underground palace anyway. One more person and more force. You’d better save them!”
Qin Haodong gave a sneer. “I can detoxify them, but they can’t get away for what they have done.”
He first gave the five people the antidote of Ecstasy, and then put them side by side.
The five people slowly opened their eyes after recovering. They were surprised to see Hu Xiaoxian and Qin Haodong standing happily in front of them, and the Devilish Five disappeared.
Lei Tianrui asked, “Xiaoxian, what the hell is going on here? Where is that one-eyed man? Who are they?”
“They are mercenaries…”
Hu Xiaoxian talked about what had happened, but did not tell the speculation of Qin Haodong and her.
Knowing that Qin Haodong poisoned the Devilish Five and rescued them again. The five men were both happy and embarrassed. Just now they went to ask Qin Haodong for protection money, but in the twinkling of an eye they had to rely on him to save their lives. That was a slap in the face.
After the embarrassment, Zhao Qiankun said, “Xiaoxian, help us get rid of the poison quickly. Now we can’t move anywhere except our mouths. We are just useless people now.”
Hu Xiaoxian said, “Haodong helped me detoxify. I am not a doctor. How can I help you detoxify?”
“Er… ”
The five of them suddenly fell into silence, and nobody spoke. Although they were thick-skinned, it was embarrassing to ask Qin Haodong for help at this time.
Finally Lei Tianrui sighed, and he looked at Qin Haodong, who was smiling, and said, “Say, how can you help us detoxify?”
Qin Haodong pointed at Zhao Qiankun and said, “I just told this fellow that you need to pay me protection money, one million yuan each. You pay me first and I will help you”
Lei Tianrui knew that he could only spend money now. Life was more important than money. He said to Hu Xiaoxian, “Help us to pay him.”
Hu Xiaoxian chuckled and took out the mobile phones from the five people to transfer money to Qin Haodong. A few minutes later, Qin Haodong had five million more in his account.
“Now can you detoxify us?” Lei Tianrui said.
“You have given me protection money. Just now I’ve helped you get rid of the five poisonous mercenaries and save your lives. So 1 million yuan is not much,” Qin Haodong said happily, “If you want to detoxify, you have to pay a medical fee of 1 million yuan per person. The price is fair.”
Having taken away one million yuan, Qin Haodong still asked for more money. Zhao Qiankun complained, “Qin Haodong, don’t go too far.”
“Am I going too far? With what you have done, it is a great kindness that I can treat you.” Qin Haodong sneered. “I now announce that the cost of treatment has increased to 2 million per person. Ten minutes later, I’ll to raise the price to 3 million per person. You can choose for yourselves.”
Then he pulled out checkers from his backpack and went to play with the little fellow without looking at them.
Lei Tianrui hesitated for a moment and said to Hu Xiaoxian, “Xiaoxian, you have the best relationship with him. Please help us to ask him for the favor.”
Hu Xiaoxian said with a cold face, “Ridiculous! I helped you once last time, but what did you do to him? First you blackmailed him with food, then you tried to charge him protection money. Now you ask me to beg him. I’m not so thick-skinned.”
“Er…” Although Lei Tianrui hated Qin Haodong to death, he had nothing to say.
Dong Sihai said, “Boss, what shall we do?”
“What else can we do? Pay the money!” Lei Tianrui said angrily.
“But is it a bit humiliating to pay now?” Zhao Qiankun said.
“Face or life? Wait a little longer and the price will rise again.”
Lei Tianrui had thoroughly tasted being trampled upon by others. He couldn’t bear to be thrown into the forest in a vegetative state. He had to put down his face completely. He shouted to Qin Haodong, “Doctor Qin, we are willing to pay!”
Qin Haodong finished playing chess, turned his head to look at him and said, “Are you sure? Don’t force yourself.”
“Yes I’m sure.”
Lei Tianrui gritted his teeth and said.
Qin Haodong pretended to be sorry and said, “It’s really a pity. I thought you could last tens of minutes.”
These five people were very embarrassed, but now their lives were in the hands of Qin Haodong. They dare not even say a word. They could only obediently let Hu Xiaoxian transfer money for them.
Five minutes later, Qin Haodong had 10 million more in his account. He took out the silver needle and began to detoxify these people. About ten minutes later, Qin Haodong cleaned up all the toxins in them. Then he took the little fellow and Hu Xiaoxian back to his tent and went to sleep.
“Ten million yuan in ten more minutes. He’s making money too fast.”
Zhao Qiankun looked at Qin Haodong angrily and said.
Seeing the distance between the woman he liked and himself was getting farther and farther, Lei Tianrui’s face was gloomier.
Xie Zidan said, “Forget it. Let’s take a break. Anyway, he saved us this time.”
Dong Sihai cried, “You mean we should thank him again? Didn’t you see how he took advantage of us? Such a small thing cost us 10 million yuan.”
“Er…” Xie Zidan shook his head. He did not argue anymore and went straight back to his tent to rest.
Zhao Qiankun asked Lei Tianrui, “Boss, what shall we do next?”
“No hurry, let’s go step by step,” Lei Tianrui said gloomily, “Although this guy has some strange abilities and good medical skills. But here is Shennongjia after all, the most important thing is the real ability. I don’t think he wants to leave for a short time. Let’s fix him up when we find the opportunity.”
Dong Sihai said, “You’re right. There’s always a time when he needs our help. Let’s ask him for a hundred million yuan at once and make up for all the losses.”
Ray Tianrui said with a grim look, “We have lost not only money, but also face; such a person I must let him die.”
After having breakfast the next day, Qin Haodong and his group continued to March deep into Shennongjia.
Shortly after their departure, a dozen black-clad men appeared at their campsite. They were covered from head to foot, with black masks on their faces and long knives on their backs.
Among them, the leader was different. He was wearing a traditional Japanese warrior uniform and a white cherry blossom on his sleeve. He had no mask and wore a knife around his waist.
Not long after they came here, a ninja in black brought over Black Widow and threw her in front of the Japanese warrior.
“Lord Jonin, only one of these five people is alive, and all the others have been killed by wild animals.”
“One is enough. I’m just asking a few questions.”
The Japanese warrior waved his hand to let the ninja in black withdraw, and then stepped forward to Black Widow.
“You guys are useless. The mission failed?”
Black Widow was puzzled, and his words shocked her. She asked, “Are you the one who issued the mission?”
The Japanese warrior said, “You don’t need to know so much, just tell me how you failed?”
The black widow was very clear that her life was in the hands of the Japanese people. She told the story from beginning to end, and finally said, “It was all going well, but there was a master of poisoning in them. Not only did he not get poisoned by us, but he poisoned us on the contrary.”
“What does that man look like?” Asked the Japanese warrior.
“A very handsome young man, in his 20s or so, with a little girl of 3 or 4 years old.”
“Mater of poisoning with a child?” The Japanese warrior looked puzzled and said to a ninja beside him, “When is there such a master in the Xuan Department of Xuanyuan Pavilion in Huaxia?”
“Lord Jonin, we are not clear. We have never heard of a master with a child in China before. Perhaps it is the hidden power of Xuanyuan Pavilion.” The Ninja bowed his head and said, “But you can rest assured that we will try to find out later.”
Black Widow said, “Sir, I have told you all I know. Please let me go for the sake of our cooperation.”
“Let you go?” The Japanese warrior said grimly, “You are a loser. What face do you have to live in this world? Go and find your companions.”
Receiving his instruction, the Ninja next to him waved his knife, and Black Widow’s head flew into the air immediately.
After throwing Black Widow’s body into the woods, the Ninja came to the Japanese warrior and said respectfully, “Lord Jonin, I don’t quite understand one thing. Why did you announce this mission? Why did you ask these people to assassinate the people of Xuanyuan Pavilion?”
The Japanese warrior smiled insidiously. “The treasure map we got is very important. There used to be many very powerful cultivators in Huaxia. I guess this palace was left by the cultivators, otherwise there would not be such a powerful defense formation.
If we can get the treasures in the underground palace, I guess it will be of great benefit to our Yamamoto family. Unfortunately, we don’t know how to crack its formation, so we need the help of Huaxia people to break the formation of the underground palace.”
“So you made a fake treasure map, and then deliberately let the Information Department of Xuanyuan Pavilion get it?”
The Japanese warrior nodded and said, “Yes, there are all kinds of talents in the Xuan Department of Xuanyuan Pavilion. They must be able to break the formation of this underground palace.”
The Ninja asked again, “But why did you employ the mercenaries to kill them, since you want them to break the formation?”
The Japanese warrior said, “There are still many masters in China. I am afraid that the news of the underground palace will attract too many masters, so I use the treasure map as an excuse. But there’s another drawback. Huaxia probably doesn’t pay much attention to it and send some low-class masters that cannot open the underground palace at all.
So I hired mercenaries to assassinate them. If the mercenaries could easily be killed by the mercenary corps, it would mean that they could not open the Underground Palace at all. At that time, they would definitely send a batch of more powerful people to come over.
If the mercenary regiment is killed by the Chinese, then we will not lose anything. We don’t even have to pay a commission.”
After speaking, he burst out laughing.
“Lord Jonin, you really are far-sighted. That’s killing people through the hands of another. I’ve learned it!” the Ninja said respectfully, “Lord Jonin, what are we going to do next? Shall we follow those Chinese to go inside the forest?”
The Japanese warrior shook his head and said, “No! Chinese are very cunning. They often set up some gears and tactics in the palace, which are not what we are good at, so we just need to guard the exit and grab the treasure when they come out.”
The Ninja once again exclaimed, “Lord Jonin’s plan is great!”
“There’s an old saying in Huaxia goes like this ‘mantis catches cicadas but unaware of the yellow sparrows behind.’ I’m afraid those Chinese people don’t know that in the end they are totally serving our Japanese ninjas after their strenuous fight,” said the Japanese warrior.
Then the dozen Japanese people laughed loudly together.
