Chapter 232: Going east to attack west

It took more than two hours before Zhang Handing treated all the wounds all over Meng Hu. However, Zhang Handing had very clever methods of treating the wounds and used very particular medicines. If someone with good medical skills had not come close to observe carefully, he would not be able to see the benefits.

Finally, Zhang Handing breathed a long sigh of relief and the wound was treated.

Meng Hu felt no more pain. The burning pain brought to him by the wounds on him disappeared. Now he only felt a little cool, and his originally drowsy consciousness also woke up a lot. Suddenly, Meng Hu's face changed slightly. He heard a slight sound of footsteps, approaching rapidly towards this side.

Zhang Handing and Shan Bao were unaware of it. When Meng Hu was about to warn, the unpredictable footsteps had already arrived outside the cell. It was too late to warn again, so he had to close his eyes and pretend to be fainting.

Zhang Handing wiped away the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve. When he turned around and was about to leave the cell, he suddenly felt a flash in front of him, and a black shadow appeared in front of him like a ghost. Zhang Handing was shocked, took two steps quickly, and ate and shouted: "Who...uh, Master Emperor?"

The person who came was the imperial teacher Shi Miyuan.

Shi Miyuan smiled gloomyly, and his sharp eyes suddenly fell on the mountain leopard behind Zhang Handing, and asked in a grim voice: "Who is this person?"

Zhang Handingqiang calmed down and said, "Sir Imperial Master, this is Cao Min's third disciple."

After saying that, Zhang Handing turned around and ordered Shan Bao, "Leopard, why don't you greet the Emperor's Master?"

"Ah? Oh." Shan Bao responded blankly, and stepped forward and knelt down on the ground and respectfully knocked at Shi Miyuan, "Leopard bowed to Master Emperor."

Although Shan Bao was singing on his mouth, he had already scolded Shi Miyuan in his heart. He could only knock on this head with his eyes closed.

"Your third disciple?"

Shi Miyuan groaned, and did not entangle the mountain leopard too much. Speaking of which, Shi Miyuan really did not doubt that there was any problem with Shan Bao's identity. It was not that he was careless, but that he was sure that the arena dungeon was strictly guarded and without a large army to support him. Meng Hu could not escape no matter what. Even if Zhang Handing in front of him wanted to do something, he would not be able to take Meng Hu out. Not to mention anything else, just locking Meng Hu's shackles, Zhang Handing would not be able to get it.

Shi Miyuan's cold eyes moved away from Shan Bao's body, and finally focused on Meng Hu, asking: "How is the injury of this traitor? Isn't it life-threatening, right?"

Zhang Handing hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Master Emperor, this traitor cannot die."

Shi Miyuan asked, "How long has it been since you treated the wound?"

Zhang Handing said: "It's not long."

Shi Miyuan said: "Why is he unconscious?"

Zhang Handing said: "Oh, that's right. The medicine Caomin used was quite strong this time. This traitor was weak and probably couldn't stand it and fainted."

"Hmph." Shi Miyuan said in a dark voice, "Meng Hu, Meng Hu, aren't your bones hard? He was seriously injured on the battlefield and was like nothing happened. He still charged in battle. Killing people is like cutting claws and cutting vegetables. But now? He doesn't fall down as well. Hehe, just a little injury and pain, he can't stand it and faint."

Zhang Handing was careful and would never say anything easily.

Shi Miyuan said a few words to himself and asked again: "How many days will this traitor's body be recovered?"

Zhang Handing, who turned his back to Shi Miyuan, turned his eyes and replied: "It will take five days for his injury to recover from five points."

"Three days." Shi Miyuan said in a dark voice, "I only give him three days to raise him. After three days, he will have to play in the field. This time his opponent will be two people, leopard Qiying and poisonous snake She Yu!"

"Viol snake She Yu!?"

Zhang Handing's face changed slightly after hearing this. Although he rarely visited the Chengnan Arena to watch the bloody gladiator performance, he still knew the reputation of the poisonous snake She Yu. This poisonous snake She Yu and the leopard Qi Ying also came from the Death Desert in the East. It was said that he was also a warrior of the snake clan. Not only was he extremely brave, but he also had great archery skills and arrows were shot with great speeds of 400 steps away!

The poisonous snake She Yu was captured and taken to the Grand Arena as a gladiator for two years. In the past two years, he killed many famous gladiators with a bow and a short sword. His only defeat was that he lost to the leopard Qiying. It was because his bow string was broken and he could not shoot the arrow. Because of this, the leopard Qiying did not kill him after defeating She Yu, but instead released She Yu against the wishes of the audience.

From then on, the leopard Qiying and the poisonous snake She Yu refused to fight each other.

This time, Shi Miyuan asked the leopard Qi Ying and the poisonous snake She Yu to fight Meng Hu. In Zhang Handing's opinion, Meng Hu was in danger. Even if Meng Hu's injuries had recovered three days later, I was afraid that they would not be able to stop the joint attacks of these two evil men. However, these had nothing to do with him, Zhang Handing. What he promised to Wen Wucheng was done. If Wen Wucheng did not give him antidote, he would report this terrible conspiracy to the court even if he died with poison.

Three days have passed in a blink of an eye.

The Grand Arena in the South of the Chengnan, which had been silent for three days, became lively again. All nobles and civilians from the city of Luojing and the prefectures of the Gyeonggi flocked to witness the exciting gladiator that was about to be staged, because the two sides of this gladiator were Meng Hu vs Leopard Qi Ying and Poisonous Snake She Yu. There is no doubt that this will be an unprecedentedly tragic bloody gladiator.

The stands around were already crowded with ordinary people, and only the small and small boxes on the stands on the north side were still empty. It was still a while before the gladiator performance began, so these noble masters could not be present. Moreover, before the arrival of the imperial emperor Meng Yan, the clerk of the arena would not dare to perform gladiator performances in advance.

Blood Dragon Valley is located fifty miles south of Luojing City.

Although the place name of Blood Dragon Valley is dangerous, the terrain is actually ordinary, just an ordinary valley. The reason why such a dangerous place name is entirely because of the color of the soil in the valley.

The color of the soil in Blood Dragon Valley is blood-red.

Before the emergence of iron smelting, the ignorant ancient ancestors believed that this was because the dragon's blood oozed out from the ground, so the soil was dyed red, so it was named Blood Dragon Valley. In fact, this was completely rumored. A master blacksmith could smell it only by his nose. The soil in the Blood Dragon Valley contained rich iron elements, which could extract extremely high-purity fine iron.

So now, Blood Dragon Valley has become the largest iron smelting mine in the capital province of the Glorious Empire. At least two thousand barbarians who were captured from the Great Wilderness or the Death Desert are mining ore day and night in the valley. Every day, tens of thousands of kilograms of fine iron are continuously transported from here to the imperial capital Luojing, and then to ironwork workshops of all sizes everywhere.

Of course, in addition to more than two thousand barbarian slaves, there was also a large brigade of guards stationed in the valley.

From half of the morning, there were suddenly more pedestrians coming and going outside the Blood Dragon Valley. There were many teahouses, wine shops and brothels outside the valley that relied on the mine garrisons. There were many vehicles transporting vegetables, vegetables, wine and drinks here every day, and there were many merchants coming and going. So at the beginning, the Blood Dragon Valley garrisons had not found anything unusual.

At noon, the captain of the security team finally discovered the abnormality. With his years of experience in the military, he smelled a dangerous breath from the air. Just as he was about to order the entire security team to gather, the strange pedestrians wandering outside the valley suddenly pulled out bright swords from their accompanying luggage and howled to the garrison camp.

These pedestrians are ordinary people in their outfits, but as soon as the two masters fought, the guard immediately found that it was not the case, because these "civilians" were not inferior to those of the guards, and they were never merciless in their attacks. The Blood Dragon Valley guards were killed off guard.

This is not the most deadly thing. If there were only less than two hundred sneak attackers, the guards stationed in the Blood Dragon Valley could handle it completely. But the problem is that there are more than two thousand barbarian slaves working as coolies in the Blood Dragon Valley mine. The battle outside the valley quickly alarmed the barbarian slaves in the valley.

Realizing that the opportunity to escape came, these barbarian slaves immediately launched a riot. The guard squadron left behind in the valley was soon destroyed by barbarian slaves. Although the dozens of god-machine crossbows guarding the gate of the mine caused great damage to the barbarian slaves, in the end, the barbarian slaves broke through the mine gate!

The south of Luojing City, the circular arena.

The imperial emperor Meng Yan finally appeared in the large box in the North Stand. After the arena clerk in gorgeous clothes respectfully asked Meng Yan for instructions, he officially announced the start of the gladiatorial performance.

As soon as the passionate words of the arena clerk fell, the iron fence behind the circular arch on the west side of the arena slowly rose. The leopard Qi Ying and the poisonous snake She Yu came out of the circular arch. Both of them were wearing two leather armors on their chests and waists. Large pieces of ancient skin and strong skin were exposed nakedly under the audience's noses. Seeing the two strong and toned bodies, the slutty women in the stands around couldn't help but scream hysterically again, hoping to rush down to the arena and let the two strong gladiators ride them under their crotch and fuck them enough.

In the small box of the North Stand, Meng Yan's face was extremely complicated, with expectations, nervousness, and worry...

Finally, the ground in the center of the arena shrank in to both sides, revealing a dark hole. Then, accompanied by the harsh creaking of mechanical transmission, Meng Hu, whose feet were locked, slowly rose from the hole with the thick iron plate under his feet. When it was completely different from the leopard Qi Ying and the poisonous snake She Yu, Meng Hu lay on the floor and was silent, leaving the audience in the stands around him to roar and tsunami, he had no response.

Not far away, the leopard Qi Ying and the poisonous snake She Yu looked at each other in a daze. Although they were cruel and bloodthirsty, they did not bother to show off their evil spirits to death.

In the North Stand Unit box, Meng Yan couldn't help but turn around and ask Shi Miyuan: "Aiqing Shi, is Meng Hu dead?"

"Impossible." Shi Miyuan said with a grim smile. "Zhang Handing once told the old minister himself that Meng Hu's injury can recover 50% after five days. However, according to the old minister, with Meng Hu's strong physique and willpower far beyond ordinary people, perhaps 50% of his physical strength can be recovered in just three days."

Meng Yan frowned and said, "What's going on now?"

"Is it a pretend to be dead?" Shi Miyuan said to himself, "This tiger is not only cruel, but also extremely cunning."

In fact, Meng Hu was indeed pretending to be dead at this time. He was searching the stands around him through his slightly opened eyes. First, he wanted to find the location where Meng Yan was, and then he also wanted to find the person to receive the support in the stands. Soon, he found Meng Yan's large box on the north stands and also found the person to receive the support. It was Princess Chaoxia Meng Yan in the small box.

When Shi Miyuan was shocked and suspicious, suddenly an eunuch hurried into the box and said to Meng Yan: "Your Majesty, it's not good."

Meng Yan couldn't help but frown, and asked with an unhappy expression: "Can you stop whining and tell me, what happened?"

The eunuch was frightened and said tremblingly: "Just just now, the Governor of Gyeonggi received an urgent report that the Blood Dragon Valley mine in the south of the city was attacked by unidentified armed personnel. The guard brigade guarding the mine responded hastily, with heavy casualties. The barbarian slaves in the mine took the opportunity to riot. Now they have already left the mine and are burning, killing and looting the villages and towns around the mine..."

"What?"

Meng Yan was furious when he heard this, "What happened? What did the secretary of the Blood Dragon Valley Mine and the guard captain do for? I want to destroy the nine tribes!"

Shi Miyuan's face changed slightly and he advised: "Your Majesty, the riots of the barbarians are very serious, and they are still at the foot of the emperor, and the capital is important. The impact is really extraordinary. Let's hurry up and recruit troops to suppress them."

Meng Yan snorted and asked Ye Haotian on the other side unhappily: "Ye Aiqing, which army is closest to Blood Dragon Valley?"

Ye Haotian responded without hesitation: "The Royal Guard's Forward Battalion and the Knight Camp are now stationed outside the Grand Arena, less than fifty miles away from the Blood Dragon Valley, and you can arrive in four hours of marching."

"Okay!" Meng Yan said decisively, "Send the Xiaoqi Camp and the Forward Camp to quell the rebellion."

Ye Haotian agreed to appoint an order to condemn the generals and arranged for the rebellion to be suppressed.

In the arena, Meng Hu, who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead, saw this scene in his eyes. He knew that Meng Yan and Wen Wucheng had already started the arrangement. Without hesitation, he snorted and jumped up from the ground.

The leopard Qi Ying and the poisonous snake She Yu on the opposite side both howled to the sky and immediately separated from each other. The leopard Qi Ying held a round shield and a short sword in front, while the poisonous snake She Yu held a strong bow in the back, ready to suddenly have a cold arrow when Meng Hu and Qi Ying fight in close combat. This cooperation can be said to be seamless.

However, Meng Hu ignored the leopard Qi Ying and the poisonous snake She Yu. After turning over and jumping, his strong body suddenly turned like a top. The two iron chains that locked their feet were immediately twisted together.

The iron chains that lock Meng Hu’s feet can be adjusted.

When Meng Hu is locked in the dungeon, these two iron chains are completely retracted into the mechanism, and Meng Hu's feet will be separated by large characters, and it is impossible to connect their legs together. However, before the game, these two iron chains will be released, so that Meng Hu has enough room to move. Otherwise, if Meng Hu can only be beaten and has no strength to fight back, no matter how good his martial arts are, he will definitely die.

In the North Stand Unit, Shi Miyuan's face changed slightly, and then calmed down again. He thought to himself that Meng Hu was indeed cunning and far beyond ordinary people. He actually thought of using iron chains to wrap around each other to snatch them. Unfortunately, with Meng Hu's physical strength, even with the force of twisting the iron chains, he was afraid that he would not be able to snatch the iron chains. These two iron chains were as thick as arms, so how could they be so easily snatched?

Not far from Meng Hu, the leopard Qi Ying and the poisonous snake She Yu also looked confused, wondering what Meng Hu wanted to do?

Soon, the two iron chains that locked Meng Hu's feet were tightly twisted together. Meng Hu's rotating body finally stopped, then bent down to grab the twisted iron chain, roared suddenly, and twisted his hands hard. A harsh metal friction sound passed by. The two tangled iron chains had been twisted by Meng Hu.

"Hahaha……"

Once the chain was broken, Meng Hu laughed to the sky, and his wild laughter was filled with endless pleasure.

"What!?"

"This...how is this possible!?"

Meng Yan and Shi Miyuan stood up from their seats at the same time, their faces full of disbelief.

In the small box, Meng Yan also stood up from her seat, but her heart was filled with surprise, and she was even so excited that she burst into tears. She was free, Meng Hu was finally free. As long as she broke the shackles on her body, with Meng Hu's ability, who else in the world could stop him?

The leopard Qi Ying and the poisonous snake She Yu also realized the huge danger. They immediately took several steps and retreated to a distance that they thought was safe enough. Then they were focused on their minds and did not dare to act rashly. The poisonous snake She Yu's arrow was already tied to the string, and the strong bow had been replaced with a full moon shape. The sharp cluster of arrows had also aimed at Meng Hu's throat, but they did not dare to send this arrow easily. Without the melee cooperation of the leopard Qi Ying, for a master of Meng Hu's level, the poisonous snake She Yu's cold arrow was not a threat.

The elite guards guarding the arena in secret immediately realized that something was wrong. Almost instantly, the iron fence behind dozens of circular arches around had risen, and hundreds of elite guards flocked out with various weapons and surrounded Meng Hu from all directions.

The one who rushed in front was dozens of gunmen. With the harsh sound of breaking through the air, dozens of guns had already tore through the void and roared towards Meng Hu's body, and Meng Hu snorted coldly, and a disdainful sneer suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth. His strong body suddenly turned on the spot, and the dozens of guns shot on his body were all held under his armpits by him.
Chapter completed!
