Chapter 214 Blood Will Run Like a River within Three Days (1/2)

The next morning, Xiao Bing, once again, walked into Poisonous Fox’s mansion, but he found Poisonous Fox alone, in the villa. Curious, Xiao Bing asked, “Where’s your servant? And… Where is that Ms. Zhizi?”

Xiao Bing had knocked the servants and Zhizi, unconscious yesterday, but they should have woken up by now.

“I dismissed the servants, and I asked Zhizi to go to Shangyang City.”

Xiao Bing grinned and reached out his hand, “Mr. Poisonous Fox, it’s a pleasure to meet you. We are allies from now on. I surmise that Master Hou will be greatly pleased to have you on his side.”

Poisonous Fox stared at Xiao Bing sternly, “Mr. Xiao, you must be the wisest man alive.”

Xiao Bing grinned, “Where did Zhizi go? If my guess is right, her destination is supposed to be Jiang City, isn’t it?”

“It is. Let’s talk about our alignment.”

Xiao Bing grinned, “I will ask Master Hou to call you soon after. You will be his right hand man, from now on. Though there is already a Mu Tingchuan by Master Hou’s side, your role is different. He’s good at strategy, while you’re adept in schemes, like Zhang Liang and Chen Ping, who once served Liu Bang. You’re no less important than him.”

Poisonous Fox shook his head, “No. Mr. Xiao, it seems that you still don’t understand what I meant.”

“Really? So is there something obvious that I’m missing?”

“I don’t plan to serve Master Hou. Instead, I wish to be at your service.”

Xiao Bing frowned, “To be honest, I appreciate your aptitude very much. However, I don’t care about the underground world. I merely want to be a normal veteran, who runs a small business.”

Poisonous Fox suddenly raised his hand, and pointed at Zhan Hongyan and Dumbass. Then he asked in a calm voice, “I don’t believe that these superior talents are willing to serve an ordinary veteran or a businessman. Mr. Xiao, a good sense of discernment is an important quality for advisers. From what I have discovered, I believe that you are not a man who wants to live an ordinary life.”

“Compared with the ambitious Master Hou, I’m merely more excited about what will happen, if I follow you.”

This was an unexpected gain for Xiao Bing. Poisonous Fox would indeed be exceptionally important to Xiao Bing. Xiao Bing now, did not lack powerful martial artists, even if Lil, who was borrowed from the Dragon Gate, was excluded. Gao Fei’s power was unfathomable and Xiao Bing was quite qualified to be a top master. Even Zhang Hongyan and Dumbass were now really powerful.

It was a man of wisdom that Xiao Bing needed most, at the moment. Xiao Bing was once a leader of the Dragon Teeth and Dragon Gate, which enabled him to view the world, in an overall way. But as the saying goes, two heads are better than one. Xiao Bing never considered himself superior to others, in all aspects.

Xiao Bing did not hesitate for long, since now, there was an exceptional adviser who wished to follow him. “I’ll let you be by my side then. But I need tell you that now, we are helping Master Hou to defeat Lord Long. If Lord Long loses, the three provinces in the north will belong to Master Hou. Hence, I can promise you nothing, if you choose to follow me.”

“I know,” Poinonous Fox said earnestly. “I have been thinking all night. I found you to be a very mysterious man, when I first saw you, and my Master even had the same feeling. So I decided to stay by your side, to see what your future will be. I think it will far more interesting than serving Master Hou.

Xiao Bing nodded his head, “You can call me Brother Bing, from now on!”

Master Hou suddenly got a call from Xiao Bing, in his mansion. He sounded delighted when he was told that Poisonous Fox had deserted the Long Family. It seemed that his plan was one step closer to success.

His chance of winning has increased from 30 percent to 40 percent.

Though the percentage was still small, Master Hou deemed it still worth risking. After all, if nothing is ventured, nothing will be gained!

Since Poisonous Fox had been by Zhuge Jiangnan’s side before, he knew quite well about Lord Long’s distribution of his forces, and the powerful martial artists under his leadership. According to his analysis, Master Hou was doomed, even if his Master stopped counselling Lord Long.

This was because there was a huge gap between the forces they have. However, Poisonous Fox also thought that only challenges would bring about treasures. If Poisonous Fox chose to remain with Zhuge Jiangnan and Lord Long, he might never get the chance to prove himself. No one on earth was willing to see his talent go to waste.

According to the tips Poisonous Fox provided, Xiao Bing began making his plan. His current priority was to make Lord Long keep losing his trust in Zhuge Jiangnan, because only when Lord Long no longer trusted this old man, would this plan work. Zhuge Jiangnan was Lord Long’s most intelligent adviser, so Xiao Bing had to make Lord Long ignore his advice.
