Chapter 0218 – Call Someone Over and Give Them Cheap Wine-Absolute Returns

by GreatBrother(위대한 다오 형제)

There was still a curtain between them; Ikuo could see them, while they couldn’t see Ikuo.

"My lord, we are here, these are my brothers, come, meet my lord."

As soon as Dahu’s words left his mouth, the three men took off their bucket hats. Ikuo froze when he saw them.

Standing on the left side of the big tiger was a handsome young man, his eyes were clear and deep, no matter how you looked at it, he didn’t look like the Iron Sword Four Tigers who licked blood from the mouth of the sword. Standing on Big Tiger’s right was a man with a short stature, who also didn’t look like the Iron Sword Four Tigers. And the man standing at the very back looked too young, almost like a fledgling brat.

"They’re younger than I thought they’d be."

"Young people are the ones who are motivated."

Jian Wuji, Poison King and Xu Dalong were not in disguise, they didn’t even glue on their fake beards, this was all arranged by Gao Yue.

Chi Sheng looked at Jian Wu Ji and asked, "When did you join the Iron Sword Four Tigers?"

Jian Wuji stole a glance at Da Hu, then said in a trembling voice, "It’s been a long time."

He stammered and refused to answer positively, which made Ikuo even more sure of his suspicions.

"It seems the rumors are true."

He thought that the Iron Sword Four Tigers had lost a lot of money during the robbery of the merchant caravan, and that was why they had recruited new people.

For his part, Da Hu pretended as if nothing had happened and said, "My brothers have recently been injured or left, so I have recruited a few new brothers. They are all trustworthy people, so don’t worry, my lord, we will take care of the matter of the Divine Immortal Grass."

Ikuo hid the killing intent in his heart and said in a pleasant manner, "I am relieved to see you young and strong tiger generals. I hope that you will bow and scrape for our great cause, and I will surely repay you well."

"We will certainly pledge our loyalty to your honor."

Thus ended the first meeting between Ikuo and the Four Tigers of the Iron Sword.

Three days later, Chi Sheng sat in the carriage and said to True Chi Sheng with a voice transmission, "The Great Tiger of the Four Tigers of the Iron Sword has a superb Night Pearl."

True Ikuo immediately strangled his horse, he would normally drive while communicating with his voice transmission even if he had a heavenly matter, and now, he had actually stopped for this matter.

"Really?"

"A thousand times over."

Zhen Chi Sheng was excited, the Extreme Night Pearl was his favorite treasure and he would do whatever it took to get it in his pocket.

There are two treasures in the world that only go up and not down, one is the night pearl and the other is the poison avoidance pearl.

As soon as Mak Ik Sang had money, he would go and buy night jewels; moreover, he only bought the very best night jewels, never those of inferior quality.

He wouldn’t deposit his money in a money bank because he was worried that Yelu Han or the Evil Dao Alliance’s people would search his money bank and then take away all his hard-earned wealth. They had the ability and the motivation to do so.

Therefore, he only deposited a small portion of his money into the money bank, and the rest of the money, all of it, was used to buy night pearl. The reason why he chose night pearls instead of gold or paintings was because they were small and light, making them easy to collect and carry.

"Are you sure he’s not pulling a stunt?"

Fake Ikuo replied confidently, "I’ve already confirmed it through the intelligence peddler, and the information is absolutely reliable. They did rob a merchant caravan, and furthermore, the Iron Sword Four Tigers lost three of their brothers."

He didn’t realize that the person who spread the news was none other than Gao Yue, and the person who controlled the intelligence network in this region was also Gao Yue.

"The strange thing is, if they’re making so much money, why would they want to take over the Divine Herb business?"

"Greed is never ending."

The real Ikuo knew it well, and he felt it every time he saw the fake Ikuo.

"Perhaps he is trying to take this opportunity to defect to His Excellency."

"How many night jewels does he have?"

"Three."

Three superb Night Pearls, this was enough to make True Ikuo lose his mind.

"Get rid of him as soon as possible, then get the Night Pearl back. Also, find a few more people to take care of the Divine Immortal Herb business."

"The Central Plains are full of trash like the Four Tigers of the Iron Sword, I’ll find the right person soon enough."

In the face of the lure of money, Shin Ikuo is defenseless.

"What a way to get to the top!"

Zen Ikuo laughed loudly, then drove his carriage and left.

Only money can make him so happy.

The Four Tigers of the Iron Sword received an invitation from Ikuo.

When they arrived at Ikuo’s room, the table was already set with wine and food. The food was very simple, and the wine was of the bad kind that was hard to swallow.

Jian Wuji saw Ji Sheng’s intention and said with a smile, "We are now on our own, shouldn’t this curtain be removed? I want to see your lordship’s true colors."

Behind the curtain Ikuo smiled.

"Young people just have a drive, I like that."

Ikuo intended to kill them, so he didn’t care about letting them see his true colors.

Jian Wuji raised his wine cup and said, "Come, let’s drink!"

But Ikuo didn’t raise his glass; his tone was icy, and the atmosphere in the room grew tense.

"Dahu, I’ve heard some rumors about you."

"What rumors?"

"I hear you made a fortune?"

"What are you talking about, my lord? I don’t understand."

"We’re on our own, no need to hide."

"I really don’t understand what you’re talking about."

Dahu denied it.

Ikuo nodded.

"Just as well, I would have done the same in my place, I understand you."

As soon as the words fell, four martial artists walked into the room, they were murderous and their strength was far above the Iron Sword Four Tigers.

They were Ikuo’s best assistants, specializing in assassinations.

"The three new guys don’t know them anyway, so go ahead and kill them."

Jian Wuji said to Da Hu, "Poor big brother, he’s going to lose his younger brother again."

Dahu sighed and looked at Ikuo with eyes that seemed to say, "You’re dead."

An ominous premonition suddenly rose in Chi Sheng’s heart, and he hurriedly yelled at the four martial artists, "Do it now!"

As soon as the words fell, those four martial artists fell limply to the ground.

Ikuo instantly turned pale, before he could even draw his sword, four of his men were dead. He had clearly asked them to kill, how did they die first themselves?

"It’s poison!"

The Poison King had opened his folding fan at some point and gently shook it, it was his unique weapon, the Infernal Fan.

Four martial artists were poisoned to death at the same time, while the other people in the room were unharmed, this divine skill of using poisonous techniques could only be done by the Poison King. At this moment, he had long since lost the childishness and naivety of the past, his eyes were cold and merciless, as if he had changed into a different person.

Ikuo snapped to his feet and drew his longsword.

He was about to shout and notify Zhen Chi Sheng and the other men outside when Jian Wuji placed his index finger on his lips.

"Shh!"

He just made a silent gesture, and Ikuo felt that his entire body’s acupoints were sealed and he couldn’t move.

"I can’t believe I’m using this poor quality wine to entertain my guests, I’d better drink this."

Chi Sheng looked at the small pill bottle that Jian Wuji handed over, his heart was filled with fear, he realized that his life, he had encountered an unprecedented crisis.

This crisis, moreover, is coming on strong.
