Chapter 12: Playing with Fire
There are all kinds of people in the world, as the so-called world is diverse, but in the final analysis, it is nothing more than fame and fortune. If you borrow Zhang Yingxiang's words: Intrigue and intrigue, the organs are exhausted, who is not trying to do anything?
That's right, but what can you do?
- Duan Shiying, what about you!
Let's just say that your master Tong Guan, who is only a eunuch, is not satisfied with wealth and wealth, and blindly wants to get power and specialize in the army, which is nothing more than a dream of recovering the sixteen states of Yanyun, building an immortal achievement, and trying to go down in history?
Duan Shiying, what about you? What are you trying to do? For the sake of the false name of "divine capture"? Joke, what kind of officials are you! It turned out to be Tong Guan's dog, and if he put on a gold collar, then he would not be a dog? Besides, being this "divine capture" and offending half of the martial arts is very cost-effective?
If it's for money...... The emperor gave the golden pearl and jade fan, and you gave it to your subordinates, and Mrs. Tong was supposed to reward you heavily, but you insisted on not reluctant, and did not mention the credit and hard work.
If you say it's power, you can obviously lead the Tiger Crane Hall, but you obediently retracted the Imperial Divine Capture Mansion, and after becoming a Divine Capture, you have less cases, what is the explanation?
"Tie Wanquan, why don't you get rid of it? It's not for the public, it should also be for the sake of selfishness! This old fool, who escaped from the battle back then, harmed our peripheral brothers in Songshan, and in the blink of an eye, let Xiao Chaozong's Nuwa Hall forces get rid of everything. Duan Shiying: You're still not a disciple of Songshan!"
I'm sorry, Duan Shiying is not, and she doesn't deserve it.
He reclined comfortably in a large, comfortable carriage, his body swaying slightly as it moved forward, and a glass of wine rested firmly in the palm of his hand. He thought of the "Thousand People Beheading" Zou Rentu led by the Eight Great Sword Kings before leaving Beijing, and said these words to him seriously, and shook his head with a smile.
Of course, Zou Rentu's real name is not called this, his name is Zou Qiuliang, and he is also from the Songshan faction. As Zou Qiuliang said, back then, all of their low-ranking Songshan disciples who refused to worship the disciples of Nuwa Palace were expelled from the mountain gate by Xiao Chaozong. Since Xiao Chaozong became the leader, they were naturally even more difficult to mix in the rivers and lakes, so they ganged up to join the army.
In that year, Tong Guan relied on Cai Jing's recommendation to take charge of the military for the first time, and fought a sensational "Battle of Hehuang" in the name of the superintendent of the Great Song Dynasty general Wang Hou. It is rumored that before the battle, the emperor suddenly issued an edict that the army was not allowed to march westward, but who knew that after Tong Guan received the edict, he actually stuffed himself into his boots, and he would not be subject to the orders of the foreign monarch! With this battle, he recovered the four states in one fell swoop and established his position in the Korean and Chinese armies!
In this battle, the one who stood out and made great contributions to Tong Guan was the so-called "Pingxi Eight Sword Kings".
As for Zou Qiuliang, when he attacked Shanzhou, Tong Guan sat in the Chinese army to meet the enemy, and he led his own Songshan disciples to cross the water with the right army to intercept the Qiang soldiers, and killed half of the river and scarlet! Tong Guan saw it from a high place, was overjoyed, and shouted repeatedly: "Where did the people come from, the people slaughtered!"
In this battle, the heads were counted in the end, more than 4,300 people were beheaded, and more than 3,000 people were captured. If the Chinese army hadn't arrived in time, these more than 3,000 soldiers would have been killed. After the Shanzhou War, Zou Qiuliang was rumored in the army to be the "Thousand People Beheaded" Zou Ren Tu, ranking first among the later Eight Sword Kings.
To tell the truth, the Eight Great Sword Kings have the shadow of Tong Guan, killing people and goods in the northwest, *** women, and committing bloody cases, Duan Shiying's heart is clear. Therefore, when Zou Rentu pointed his nose and asked him to get rid of Tie Wanquan, he almost couldn't help laughing, is it for Songshan?
Duan Shiying gently shook the contents of the cup, snorted in his nose, and began to sneer again.
What kind of situation he is in now, he knows better than anyone else. If Shangfeng really confirmed the big case of the Ma Gang, why is Tie Wanquan still the same as no one? What kind of great case can Jingzhao Mansion have, and he has to order him, a god to go out in person, and it is still now?
Tong Guan, why did people who are used to being arrogant and domineering suddenly start to be cautious in their words and deeds, and quietly?
- It's not a deal yet!
Tong Guan made the Liao major event established, and naturally had a tacit understanding with Cai Jing in private, and other small things should not be put away. Otherwise, next year, Cai Jing will be reinstated, how will he get along with the court?
Isn't it all obvious!
Who is he Duan Shiying, can he still not understand this?
If he doesn't know how to advance or retreat, and burns himself, even he can't guarantee any accidents. At the moment of the overall situation, he, a divine catcher, can also be Tong Guan's outcast! He can use Lei Jiabao's knife to kill Cai Jing's person, can't Cai Jing borrow someone else's knife to kill him again? The rivers and lakes are so big, and the power of the master is not limited to the ten names on the underworld list! Let's just talk about Ye Shannon, if this person hadn't been poisoned by the Tang Sect, if he really competed, he Duan Shiying would have won?
Okay, he still has eight sword kings, but among these eight sword kings, how many people have won Ye Shannon?
- I don't have any bottom in my heart.
※※※
Duan Shiying raised his hand to drink the wine in the cup, and when he put down the cup, his eyes fell on the woman opposite. The woman was kneeling on the floor of the carriage, holding a silver flask. As soon as she saw that Duan Shiying's cup was empty, she hurriedly stepped forward to pour wine, but Duan Shiying easily turned the delicate and delicate silver cup upside down on the spout.
This woman is called Mei Sanniang, who is the cook of Tong Guan's house, not only outstanding in appearance, considerate service, but also makes authentic Huaiyang dishes.
Duan Shiying was not lustful, he wanted to refuse, but he didn't want to refute Tong Guan's face, so he left her behind. Who knows, since having her, she has saved a lot of things, and she doesn't have to worry about Zhang Luo in all kinds of diet and daily life. The woman only followed him for a few meals, then found out his spleen and stomach, took a few turns around the Shenzhu Mansion, and took care of everything in the morning.
If you want to say that people are such animals, you can't be lazy, once you get used to the comfortable life of being served by people when you dress and eat, who else can go back?
Duan Shiying couldn't go back, so even if he was sent to Jingzhao Mansion on business, he had to take Mei Sanniang with him. However, fortunately, he is not lazy, he is lazy elsewhere, but his brain is turning more diligently.
For example, what should I do with him?
Why bother? Since he has left the capital, what does Tie Wanquan have to do with him?
Naturally dry-free. This Zou Rentu is not his person, although the Eight Great Sword Kings obey him, it is also Yu Gong, what about private affairs? Isn't it all under Tong Guan's hands.
"Yu public and private, Tie Wanquan deserves to die, I was born in Songshan, and I will be a Songshan ghost when I die! Wuyue one day, Jianghu I, still use you to teach me? I have a dignified hand-picked 'divine catch', several times and three times to ask for orders from Shangfeng, to investigate and deal with Tie Wanquan's master and apprentice bandits, but what is the result? Instead, I was sent out of Beijing, this is Yu Gong!
"What about Yu Zhi? Zou Dadao King, I'm sorry, what kind of martial arts does Tie Wanquan have? The top ten masters of the underworld have to take a detour when they see him! I have a small matter of giving my life, but who will do things for Captain Tong in the future?
"Bear with it, everyone, we can't afford to provoke it, we can't hide!"
When Duan Shiying thought of Zou Rentu's angry appearance, he felt a sense of excitement to watch a good show.
- Mars, already lit.
For example, is this Ye Shannon dead?
How could he not die? Who could still survive after drinking Tangmen's "Begonia without Fragrance"?
Having said that, Dugu Ying, the "Eagle Chopping Knife" in the Eight Great Sword Kings, has been to Heyang for so many days, why can't he find Ye Shannon's body?
A head catcher like Duan Shiying has never recognized only one truth.
- When a person dies, he must see a corpse!
So, before leaving, he sent another sword king to Heyangdu.
Of course, he also brought two sword kings with him to Jingzhao Mansion here, and these two sword kings are now riding on horses, guarding his carriage one left and one right. There are two sword kings, plus Duan Shiying's own subordinates, such a rare elite soldier is really worthy of the leader of the god to catch out the patrol!
After all, you have to be careful.
However, Ye Shannon is always a piece of his heart.
Before Ye Shannon jumped into the Yellow River, his single eye lit up and disappeared, flashing with a ghostly green light, and two black blood flowed down the corners of his eyes...... Could it be that the Yuehua Heart Sutra is like this?
This one-eyed image has repeatedly surfaced in Duan Shiying's mind in recent days. Duan Shiying originally thought that if he had practiced the Yuehua Heart Sutra, he should have a pair of golden pupils like Li Yanlai, but the other person who had practiced this divine skill, Qin Fangyu, was either golden or silver! Duan Shiying guessed that perhaps Qin Fangyu was not good at learning and cultivating as well as Li Yanlai, so he was so much worse, and when Qin Fangyu cultivated to the realm of Li Yanlai, his pupils would also be golden.
This explanation should be correct, the legend of the rivers and lakes, in the early years of the "not falling flowers" Xie Wantang was alive, the night of the Lotus Peak's achievement of miraculous skills, a pair of pupils like the light of the full moon, so that the moon of Huashan was eclipsed!
But what's the deal with Ye Shannon's green-glowing one-eyed?
I don't understand. If the pharmacist is still there, with this person's erudition, he will definitely be able to help him solve the puzzle of the "Yuehua Heart Sutra"!
- yes, that's what he wants!
※※※
Duan Shiying, what's the use of you asking for this?
- You also want to be number one in the world?
Who knows, who knows what he's thinking, what he's doing?
Let's just say that last time, when Tong Guan introduced him to the Eight Great Sword Kings, he joked in front of the Sword Kings: "Duan Da Hunting Head is not idle for a moment, and the affairs of the Yamen are not enough for him to be busy, and he has to take time to be a matchmaker for others!
In that scene, the Eight Great Sword Kings were confused, and Duan Shiying smiled and clenched his fists. He knew that Tong Guan was ridiculing himself about the marriage between Leijiabao and Huashan. He didn't tell Tong Guan about this, thinking that there were other Tong Guan's eyes and ears in the Tiger Crane Hall.
What can happen if there are many ears and eyes? Tong Guan said this, which shows that they are unable to understand.
They couldn't see it, Duan Shiying had already seen it.
Long before Lei Zhantian, Zhang Yingxiang, Liu Yue, and others struggled to figure out the pros and cons of the marriage between the two families, he had already seen it on the night he stepped into the Guandu gathering.
In front of his eyes, there was a fire.
As far as he is concerned, fame and fortune, famous horses and beauties, it is not about thinking or not, but he is not interested in it when he gets it, or he can't raise his long-term interest.
is the only one who has a soft spot for that piece of fire.
It was a long time ago, and one year there was a fire in the Daimyo's mansion, and the fire spread in patches, and in one night, almost half of the inner city was burned. That night, he happened to be eating and drinking in Cuiyun Building, and condescendingly witnessed the fire; that night, it was also the first time in his life that he was drunk, and he didn't even want to leave the table when the fire hit, and finally Leng was dragged downstairs by his companions.
From that night on, worldly pleasures were dull to him.
He was willing to follow Tong Guan, because Tong Guan was a person who could set fires, and the same was true of the hall master of the Heavenly Eagle Hall, Li Nanying, who single-handedly provoked many wars in the rivers and lakes, and as for the inside of the Lei Family Fort, not to mention!
Humanity is that those who play with fire will burn themselves.
The sinister nature of the rivers and lakes, any strategy, strategy, and backing is only temporary, and only with peerless magic can you save yourself from danger in the sea of fire.
- He wanted a fire avoidance.
Isn't it the most beautiful scenery to light a fire from your heart and illuminate a piece of land brightly?

"Hey, cheer up, there are often robbers here!"
The housekeeper Lao Ge's shout interrupted Duan Shiying's memories, his frowning brows relaxed slightly, and Mei Sanniang beside him obediently stepped forward to pour him another glass of wine.
Duan Shiying smiled, took a sip from the cup, and only heard Mei Sanniang ask the front of the car in a soft voice:
"Brother Ge, what is the master asking?"
"Oh, back to the little lady, it's okay!" said Lao Ge respectfully outside. Lao Ge has been with Duan Shiying for the longest time and knows a lot of things. The master of his family married early, and he had a wife in his hometown in Suzhou, but he never went back after entering Beijing, but it was not because of the flowery world in the capital, the master was not greedy for wine and lustful, and he was like a saint. This time Mei Sanniang was accepted, which surprised Lao Ge, no matter what, there will be one more little master in the future.
"Please return to the master, the little lady has just passed the mass grave, and nothing has happened. ”
Oh, it's been a mass grave......
Mass graves!?
Duan Shiying suddenly remembered that night, when he went to the mass grave to look for Lei Yunshou, he saw Lei Yunshou and Lei Yunqing, the two great kings, who were swords rattling, and almost broke the wall. At that time, Lei Yunshou was wearing a Shu brocade robe with a dark glow in the night, wasn't that the color of Ye Shannon's eyes?
If you want to talk about Lei Jiabao, Duan Shiying knows everything about it! The four heavenly kings of the Lei family are ranked according to gold, wood, fire, and water, and Lei Yunshou is of course a wood phase, so this kind of ghostly green light is undoubtedly the color of the wood phase! But Ye Shannon is clearly a water phase, how can his pupils emit the color of the wood phase?
Aren't Xie Wantang and Li Yanlai also water phases? But why are these two golden pupils?
——Jin Shengshui......
- Aquatic wood!
Duan Shiying's head seemed to have been hit by something, and it shook violently! Mei Sanniang panicked when she saw it, she hurriedly stepped forward to support Duan Shiying, and Duan Shiying hugged her with her backhand and smiled slightly.
"It's okay, sleep with me. ”
Mei Sanniang's expression was a little timid, but her movements were quick, she hung up the curtain of the car, then turned around, reached to the skirt and began to undress, but Duan Shiying stopped her hand.
"That's not necessary, I want something. ”
After saying that, Duan Shiying fell back and closed his eyes.
