Chapter - 317 Willingly Disfigure a Handsome Face (11) (2/2)

Zhang Wuji thought for a moment and smiled, ”To make someone weak and drowsy is certainly not difficult; only if you give it to a martial art expert, he would recover in less than an hour. To make something as fierce as the 'shi xiang ruan jin san', that I cannot do.”

Yang Xiao smiled, ”About an hour is enough,” he said, ”Subordinate has an idea, but I don't know whether it will work. I am asking Jiaozhu to give me your opinion. Although I said it is an idea, it might be just a worthless thought. Fan Xiongdi, you invite He Biweng to drink some wine; put the poison Jiaozhu make into it. Then Fan Xiongdi make up some trouble, pretend that he is being poisoned by He Biweng with the 'shi xiang ruan jin san'; at that time we will find out who has the antidote. Then we can steal it and use it to rescue the others.”

Zhang Wuji said, ”This idea is feasible; only it depends on He Biweng's temperament. Fan Youshi, what do you think?”

Fan Yao contemplated this idea back and forth and thought that although this idea was simple, it was flawless; so he said, ”I think Yang Dage's idea is feasible. That He Biweng is temperamental, but he is not as smart as Lu Zhangke. If the antidote is in his hand, I think I can still deal with him even though my martial art skill is inferior to him.”

”What if the antidote is in Lu Zhangke's hand?” Yang Xiao asked.

Fan Yao knitted his brows and said, ”Then it is a lot more complicated.” He stood up and paced back and forth on that little hill. After a long time he clapped his hands and said, ”I have a way; that Lu Zhangke is smarter than average men, if we try to trick him, he might see through our deception. We must get hold of his weakness and then blackmail him; of course he will consider the pros and the cons, but he will never realize our scheme. I know that this idea is risky; we might fail, but other than this I can't think of anything else.”

”What kind of weakness does this old man have?” Yang Xiao asked, ”He is an old man with a young heart; what weakness of his fall into Xiongdi's hand?”

”In the spring this year Ruyang Wangye took a concubine and he invited some of us to an informal dinner in his residence,” Fan Yao said, ”Wangye proudly talked about his beautiful concubine; he even ordered the new bride to come out and serve us wine. I saw Lu Zhangke's lecherous eyes almost popped out of their sockets, while he swallowed his saliva; his heart was indeed burning with desire.”

”Then what happened?” Wei Yixiao asked.

”Nothing,” Fan Yao replied, ”She is Wangye's beloved concubine; although he has guts as high as the sky he would not dare to indulge his wicked thought.”

”Lecherous eyes can't be called some secret you can blackmail him with,” Wei Yixiao said.

”I can't blackmail him over that matter,” Fan Yao said, ”But I am going to bother Wei Xiong [brother Wei]; with your 'qing gong' [lightness skill] you can go and steal Ruyang Wangye's beloved concubine and place her on Lu Zhangke's bed. I am 70, 80% sure that this old lecher won't be able to hold his desire forever. Even if he really is able to rein his horse before falling off the cliff, I will rush in. Although he has a hundred mouths he won't be able to wash himself clean, so he will be forced to hand the antidote over to me nicely.”
