Chapter 927 - Qimen Displacement Technique (2/2)

After that, he walked to the bed and flung himself down on the bed. Soon, the sound of loud snoring could be heard.

Zhang Heng waited for a while longer before poking a hole through the window paper. Then, he inserted a small bamboo tube in and blew out a puff of yellow smoke.

Li Gao and he were originally partners, so their modus operandi was exactly the same.

After a while, when he felt that the drug should have taken effect already, he jumped into the room from the window. Then, he walked toward Qin Haodong with the ghost-head knife in his hand.

Even when he walked to the bed, Qin Haodong still didn’t move and was snoring loudly on the bed.

“Boy, go to hell!”

Zhang Heng raised the knife and cut off Qin Haodong’s head. Then he grabbed the hair of the head and jumped out of the window.

“The General’s task is too simple.”

Zhang Heng was delighted. He would surely be rewarded for completing the task Jiang Bin had assigned.

Not far off, he saw a shrub at the side of the road and threw the head in his hand there. Then, he quickly returned to Jiang Bin’s home.

Jiang Bin paced back and forth in the room. He was waiting anxiously. When the door opened, Zhang Heng came in from outside.

He asked eagerly, “How did it go?”

Zhang Heng said proudly, “General, don’t worry. I just cut off that boy’s head with my own hands. He’s already dead.”

“Is it really that easy?”

Jiang Bin asked in disbelief, “Are you sure you killed Qin Haodong?”

Zhang Heng said confidently, “Of course! I saw him lying on the bed. I then cut off his head with my knife.

“However, I did not think it’s good to bring back that bloody head, so I threw it into the shrub by the road. If you don’t believe me, I can take that head back now.”

Jiang Bin waved his hand and said, “No need. Just make sure you’ve succeeded.”

Just like this, he had completed Xiahou Hongxiang’s task. He was also extremely happy. Only then did he remember Li Gao and asked, “Where is Li Gao? Where has he gone?”

Zhang Heng said, “I don’t know, too. I didn’t see Li Gao along the way. I guess he will come back tomorrow morning.”

Both Zhang Heng and Li Gao were just Jiang Bin’s followers, so he didn’t mind. He said, “All right! Go back and have a rest. You’ll be amply rewarded tomorrow.”

“Thank you, General.”

Zhang Heng went back to rest happily.

Early the next morning, Jiang Bin arrived at Xiahou Hongxiang’s Lord Mansion.

Seeing him, Xiahou Hongxiang immediately asked, “How did it go?”

Jiang Bin said, “It went very smoothly. That boy’s head had been chopped off.”

“Well done. This boy finally got what he deserved!” Xiahou Hongxiang gnashed his teeth and said, “Brother, nephew, I have avenged you.”

After that, he took Jiang Bin to the courtyard to greet Princess Xingyue.

No matter what, Zhao Xingyue was the Princess of Tortoise Kingdom. He had to adhere to basic etiquette.

After entering, he greeted Zhao Xingyue and chatted with her for a while.

At this point, the Little Witch walked in. “Sister Xingyue, breakfast is ready. Let’s get ready to eat.”

Zhao Xingyue said, “Go get Big Brother Qin. Let’s have breakfast together.”

“I’ll go now.”

The Little Witch agreed and ran out happily.

A sneer appeared at the corners of Xiahou Hongxiang’s and Jiang Bin’s mouths. They thought to themselves, “Want to ask Qin Haodong to come here to eat? Go to hell to find him.”

Xiahou Hongxiang was afraid that Princess Xingyue would be suspicious of him when she found out that Qin Haodong had been killed, so he said, “Your Highness since you are about to have breakfast, we will leave first.”

Jiang Bin and he turned around and were about to leave. Before they reached the door, they saw Qin Haodong coming in from outside.

“This… this…”

Both of them were very shocked. Then, Xiahou Hongxiang stared coldly at Jiang Bin and seemed to be asking, “Wasn’t Qin Haodong already beheaded? Why is he still alive now?”

Jiang Bin was also confused. Zhang Heng was very sure that he had chopped off Qin Haodong’s head. However, the situation did not seem to be like that at all now.

Seeing their stunned expressions, Qin Haodong said playfully, “What’s wrong, Great General Xiahou? Don’t you recognize me after a night?”

Last night, he had noticed Zhang Heng’s arrival, so he directly used the Qimen Displacement Technique to replace Li Gao under his bed with him when Zhang Heng was about to cut off his head.

Therefore, the head chopped off by Zhang Heng was Li Gao’s head, not Qin Haodong’s. Qin Haodong was unscathed.

Xiahou Hongxiang was also a cunning fox. He quickly calmed down and said with a smile, “It’s nothing. I just didn’t expect that Mr. Qin came as soon as we are about to leave.”

After saying that, he left the courtyard with Jiang Bin hurriedly. Outside the gate, he angrily asked at once, “What the hell is going on?”

Jiang Bin said, “Zhang Heng said he had chopped off Qin Haodong’s head. I’ll go back and ask him what’s going on now.”

Zhang Heng got up in the morning and was thinking about how Jiang Bin would reward him. Suddenly, Xiahou Hongxiang and Jiang Bin came in angrily.

“I greet the Generals…”

Before he could finish, Jiang Bin slapped him in the face and said, “Bastard, didn’t you say that Qin Haodong was dead? Why is he still alive now?”
