Volume 1 The Decisive Battle of the Forbidden City Chapter 525 The Forbidden City (31) Friends and subordinates

At this time, He Jiu's mind naturally appeared in the face of the little trader dressed as a small trader, with an ordinary and simple face, but his eyes were very sharp. When he ran the Xuanyi Club in Xizhimen Anle Gambling House, he dealt with that guy a lot. When the Left Overseer Mo Xichao sent and received any information, it was that guy who came to handle it.

Sometimes when he goes to the Third Prince's Mansion, that guy will also act as the horseman of the Left Governor.

He Jiu has a very deep friendship with him, and the two sometimes sit together to drink or learn their skills. Therefore, He Jiu is also very familiar with his martial arts. It's just that in recent years, he has not been seen again, and the person seems to have disappeared from nowhere.

He Jiu also inquired about Mo Xichao, but when he asked, he saw that the face of the Zuo Overseer was not good-looking. So He Jiu guessed that the guy was likely to have a gap with the Zuo Governor, and the two parted ways. Or, in the middle of a mission, you have an accident and die.

All kinds of possibilities exist, and He Jiu also thought that the legendary Secret Walking Jiao who sneaked into the depths of Youlan could be him, but thinking about it, he felt that this guess was too absurd. Because in He Jiu's opinion, the Dark Walking Jiao should be the person of the Xuantu, how could he, a guy who learned assassination, get into the Xuantu? It should be similar to the Spiny Snake.

But there was no such person in the thorny snake, so He Jiu felt that he was either dead or gone. I always thought that when I went out on a mission in the future, I would inquire about his whereabouts.

Who would have thought about it, only today did I know that the most impossible thing turned out to be the ultimate truth, this guy is really the secret Jiao.

In an instant, He Jiu's mood became extremely good. This proves that after today, I can drink with this good friend again.

When Liu Qi attacked just now, the two of them made a move, and He Jiu had already guessed that it was him when he saw the scratches on the iron arrow, but he was very worried about whether this guy would have taken refuge in Youlan and planned to embarrass himself and others.

Now that he heard the questions of Wei Jie and others, He Jiu understood that his good friend had been serving Xuanyi all along, but because he was hiding too deeply, he didn't know it.

So he didn't hide it, and replied to Wei Jie with a smile: "The snake general has indeed been here, and just now he made a move with a certain family and left, looking at the tracks, it should be going east, if you chase fast, you may be able to find him." ”

Wei Jie and the others glanced at each other, and there was joy in their eyes. It seemed that he hadn't followed the wrong direction, and then he saluted He Jiu and said, "Thank you General Eagle for your advice." ”

As soon as these words fell, the group disappeared again.

He Jiu watched them leave and couldn't help but laugh. Just now, he was going to go straight to the palace and explain the situation to the Zuo Governor, Liu Qi's appearance is likely to mean some kind of variable, a person who is proficient in assassination techniques will have a very serious damage to the entire battle situation. If he really participated in Youlan, it would be a very terrible thing.

But now it seems that he doesn't have to worry, and the one who should have the headache should be the person on Youlan's side.

Shaking his head with a smile, he planned to gather his subordinates and return to the Forbidden City, waiting for the next task to be arranged.

But then, He Jiu's heart suddenly rose again.

Liu Qi's sudden arrival was definitely not a whim, and he planned to make a joke with himself. Because he is not the kind of person who likes to joke around, does the secret exposure of murder mean that he wants to convey some kind of message to himself, but he can't say it explicitly?

Thinking of this, He Jiu's brows furrowed.

……

Liu Qi was secretly worried in his heart, his original plan was to go straight to the Fu'an County Mansion after leaving the White Tiger Fang, and go to see Jiang Hanyu as Lu Baixian.

Inform the other party that the gathering point of the White Tiger Fang was exposed, the other party killed too fast, and the team was led by the "Absolute Son" Li Zhi'an, the "Divine Shadow Needle" Dongfang Zhuo and the "Cruel Hand" Yin Wuji, which were too fierce, with four or five thousand Xuanyi, and even Wang Xiubei and Meng Songhai and others had been killed in battle.

He was defeated by his own strength, and he desperately covered under the serious injury of the Living Buddha, and Lu Qingsong, the deputy leader of the Changle Gang, and others sacrificed their lives to save each other, so that he escaped with his life and came back to report the news.

Liu Qi pondered, Jiang Hanyu would not be suspicious when he saw that he was injured. When he received such news, he would also be shocked and distraught. And at this time, it is the time to assassinate Jiang Hanyu by himself.

One fatal blow, even if you can't kill the other party, it will cause Jiang Hanyu to be seriously injured, which will be very beneficial to the following battles.

Jiang Hanyu will definitely have masters by his side, such as those on the "Weapon Spectrum", Lu Fengxian, Xiang Song, Zhuge Gang and Donghai Yuxiao and others. But Liu Qi is confident that it is no problem to escape with his own killing and concealment skills.

After making up his mind, he headed in the direction of the county king's mansion.

But on the way, I happened to meet the blue and white fighting department that rushed to the Vermilion Bird Fang to carry out the clearance work, led by Tang Kaishan, and attacked directly.

Liu Qi was very close to them at that time, but more than a thousand people didn't even notice his existence at all. When they passed by, Liu Qi found that Tang Kaishan seemed to be injured, and was worried that he would not be able to do enough when he attacked Vermilion Bird Fang, so he decided to help him, so he quietly followed.

However, the result surprised Liu Qida, the clearance operation turned out to be extremely smooth, and the Blue and White Doubu completely uprooted all the Vermilion Bird Gathering Points with a crushing momentum. This should have been a happy thing, but Liu Qijue sensed that something was wrong, because the number of Xuanyi killed and captured was only 1,300 people.

Vermilion Bird Square is the place with the most gathering points among the four squares in the capital, which means that the number of people is also the largest. It is impossible to have only two or three kittens like this? Liu Qi began to wonder, did he pass on a wrong piece of information?

He didn't dare to show up in public to inform Tang Kaishan of the news. Tang Kaishan believes it or not, he is still second, the main reason is that he is worried that Youlan has some ambush here that he doesn't know, if Tang Kaishan is captured in an ambush, he may probably confess himself.

So he quietly left a note with "Be careful" and posted it on Tang Kaishan's chest silently, hoping to serve as a warning and make him more vigilant on the way back.

In order to confirm his guess, Liu Qi went to Xuanwu Fang, intending to see if the clearance over there was also so ordinary. I never thought that on the way to Xuanyifang, I met Mu Gesi led by Wang Wu and Gu Che, and after a confrontation with Wang Wu, he said: "Send a message back to the palace, the situation has changed." ”

Leaving this sentence, he didn't care about Wang Wu's frightened and angry expression, and went directly towards Xuanyiwu.

After arriving at Xuanyiwu, he happened to see the Eagle Strike Division at the end, revealing his killing intent, and made a move with He Laojiu to raise the other party, and then left silently.

Liu Qi naturally didn't know He Jiu's various speculations about him, and after verifying the specific number of people, he felt that there was no need to return to the White Tiger Fang, the number of people there knew best, but it seemed that among the three squares, only the number of people in the White Tiger Fang was relatively accurate, and there were changes in other places.

Now it seems that he can only go to the county king's mansion and find out the news from Jiang Hanyu, hoping that it is not too late.

As he walked, he suddenly sensed that five people behind him were chasing him. After perceiving it carefully, Liu Qi understood that this was someone from the Acanthus Division.

With an idea in mind, he immediately stopped and waited quietly for them to arrive.

But after a while, Wei Jie and others arrived.

Looking at the guy in his forties, who was dressed in the robe of a wealthy man, of medium stature, with small eyebrows and small eyes, and was in his forties, and was covered in injuries all over his body, Wei Jie's brows furrowed, and in a blink of an eye, there was an iron drill in his hand.

The four lieutenants behind him were also like him, flashing their weapons in a flash.

They recognized that this person was the current leader of the Changle Gang, Lu Baixian.

When Liu Qi saw their actions, he didn't care, and made a few complicated handprints on his hands, and said: "'The shadow is lurking in the long water, tracking the thousand changes and never leaving. "Yes, the shadow killing pursuit technique is very well practiced, and it can actually track my tracks. ”

Wei Jie looked at the handprint he had made, his heart was already certain, and he frowned and said: "'Shadow and trace, spider silk also appears', the third part of the shadow killing pursuit technique." I really didn't expect that Lu Baixian, the leader of the Changle Gang, would be my thorny snake general. ”

Liu Qi smiled and pointed to his face and said, "It's just a mask that is convenient to lurk, don't make a fuss." ”

After receiving an affirmative answer, the five of them bowed and saluted with their arms folded. One by one:

"Subordinate Wei Jie. ”

"Subordinate Guan Huafeng. ”

"Subordinate Wang Qiliang. ”

"Subordinate Xu Chaowen. ”

"It's very useful to be subordinate to the subordinates. ”

"See the Lord of the Rathorn Snake. ”

Liu Qi stretched out his hand and said, "The thorny snake will be saluted, please be exempt." ”

The five straightened up.

Liu Qi then said: "There is an important matter that you need to do. ”

Wei Jie said: "Please tell the lord, and his subordinates will definitely do it desperately." ”

Liu Qi nodded lightly, took out a pencil that was about to be worn out from his arms, tore off the white shirt inside, wrote a string of numbers on it, handed it to Wei Jie, and then said: "The stakes are very high, be sure to bring this news back and hand it over to the Grand Governor with your own hands." Life is small, this letter is big, you must remember. ”

Wei Jie took it and asked: "If you reply to the general's words, my subordinates have asked, is this letter handed over to the Grand Governor or to the commander-in-chief of this battle? If it is the Grand Commander, I can't wait to see him." ”

Liu Qi didn't know why, and asked, "Why? Isn't the commander of this battle the Grand Governor?"

Wei Jie said: "Yes, the Grand Governor did not participate in the command, and now he should protect His Majesty Supreme in the Taihe Palace." The command of this battle was given full authority by the Grand Governor to the Left Governor. ”

A very ordinary sentence, but Liu Qi's heart was shocked, and there was no deep sadness in his eyes, but he didn't dare to show it. I can only secretly think: Big brother, it seems that you have already decided......

Then he took a long breath, took back the strip of cloth from Wei Jie's hand, wrote another string of number symbols on it, and then handed it back again, saying, "Give this information to the Zuo Overseer, remember, you must hand it over by hand." ”

After saying this, Liu Qi didn't say anything anymore, suddenly flashed his figure, and walked towards his goal.

Wei Jie was stunned and asked in surprise: "Where will you go mainly?"

Liu Qi said: "Go where I should go......"

Then, it was gone.

Wei Jie was stunned for a moment, clutched the strip of cloth in his hand tightly, gritted his teeth and said, "Guan Feihua, the four of you will bring this news back to the palace, there must be no mistake." ”

Guan Feihua and the others were shocked and asked, "Where is the Governor going?"

Wei Jie said: "Go and chase the general." ”

Wang Qiliang asked: "The order of the general, is it for me to bring this news back together, is the governor planning to violate the order?"

Wei Jie gritted his teeth and said: "Seven taels, listen up, if you take the assassination as an example, I, Wei Jie, have never been convinced, but after seeing what the general did today, Wei Yuanchang was impressed in this life." If my guess is correct, the Lord will be in the most dangerous place, and he will carry out an impossible mission, and he will probably die. ”

"If I had answered the past, the Lord might have escaped in times of crisis, or if I hadn't gotten it, the thorny snake would have died. He has been seriously injured, to the point of extreme danger, as the deputy of the thorny snake, how can I not save him? What's more, he is still the 'secret walking Jiao', the person I Wei Yuanchang admires the most. ”

After saying this, Wei Jie gently clenched his fists at them, and said with a resolute face: "I hope you can understand Wei Yuanchang's selfishness, but the transmission of information is also the top priority, please take care!"

After saying this, Wei Jie's feet turned into a shadow, and his figure disappeared in a flash.

After Wei Jie chased Liu Qi, he felt that someone was chasing behind him, slowed down his journey, but saw Guan Feihua and Bian Dayong coming to his left and right.

Wei Jie's feet did not stop, side by side with the two of him, and when he walked quickly, he frowned and asked, "What do you two mean by coming along?"

Bian Dayong said with a smile: "Captain, the general is not only a person you admire, but also a person I admire. How can I be of great use to the general?"

Guan Feihua continued: "Wang Qiliang and Xu Chaowen went back to deliver the letter, who let the two of them lose the guessing box? ”

Wei Jie felt a little angry, but he had no choice but to let the two of them act with him.

……

The outer courtyard of the royal palace of Fu'an County.

Liu Qi rolled over, fell in from outside the wall, and slammed into the snow, making a muffled sound.

In a moment, more than a dozen figures burst out of the shadows, surrounded him, and asked, "Who dares to break into the county king's mansion at night!"

Liu Qi spat out blood, his appearance was miserable, his eyes were confused, and he said intermittently: "I...... I am...... It's Lu Baixian, the leader of the Changle Gang, who has something important to return, so he doesn't dare to delay, so take me to see Mr. Jiang quickly. ”

As he spoke, he took out a wooden sign from his bosom and threw it on the ground.

The leader of the group walked over cautiously, picked up the wooden card, and after confirming that it was half ringing, he nodded to the person next to him, indicating that it was correct.

Then, Liu Qi was carried to the backyard by this group of people.

After entering a hall, Lang Zhong came to treat his wounds.

It didn't take long for Jiang Hanyu to arrive.

He was followed by two people, and on the right was his apprentice, the young master of the Tibetan Sword Villa dressed in white and winning snow, You Longsheng.

The one on the left was a scholar in a white robe, his face was tight, and Liu Qi couldn't recognize it.

Jiang Hanyu came to Liu Qi, looked at his miserable appearance covered in injuries, and asked, "Gang Master Lu, why did you get injured like this, but what happened?"

Liu Qi's face turned pale, and he struggled to get up and salute, but was held down by Jiang Hanyu, signaling that he didn't have to be polite.

Liu Qi sat back and sighed, "Mr. Xueying, your letter is late. I just received the message, and immediately went to find Mr. Beixiu, but I didn't want Xuanyi to fall from the sky at this time......"

Speaking of this, Liu Qi's pale and chapped lips trembled slightly, and his eyes were filled with moisture, as if he would cry out in the next moment.

Jiang Hanyu patted the back of his hand and said comfortingly: "Gang Master Lu doesn't have to be sad, what happened, please explain it as soon as possible." ”

Liu Qi took a breath, as if he wanted to suppress the tears that were about to fall, and continued: "The leader of the team is the Absolute Master himself, followed by the 'Shadowless Divine Needle' Dongfang Zhuo left and right, and the 'Cruel Hand' Yin Wuji. There were four or five thousand people in Xuanyi, and they appeared all at once. We were caught off guard by the killing, miserable, Mr. Snow Eagle, it was really miserable. ”

The brothers didn't react to Ben, so they were killed by the group of Xuanyi chopping melons and vegetables. After Kutoutuo, Master Meng faced Dongfang Zhuo, who was originally evenly matched, but he didn't want to be killed by Yin Wuji's sneak attack. The Living Buddha of Yujia fought against the peerless son and was nailed to death by a flying knife. Mr. Bei Hugh ......"

Speaking of this, Liu Qi burst out crying, and only after half a sound did he say: "Mr. Beixiu killed three hundred Xuanyi by himself, but he was surrounded and killed by Jue Gongzi and Yin Wuji, the means are too cruel, and Jue Gongzi actually ...... in order to avenge the revenge of Xuanyi who was killed by Mr. Xiu Bei actually beheaded Mr. Xiubei more than 300 knives, and there were no bones...... Under ......"

Liu Qi took a deep breath and continued: "If it weren't for Lu Qingsong and the Living Buddha of Yujia sacrificing their lives to save each other, and finally getting out of the dog hole, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that I won't be able to come back and report the news......"

After Jiang Hanyu heard what he said, his eyes flashed back and forth, looking at Liu Qi's eyes with a kind of strangeness, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Liu Qi saw his expression, and his heart suddenly mentioned, which was completely inconsistent with what he expected.

Shouldn't Jiang Hanyu be distraught and panicked when he heard the news? How could he be so calm? Or was his city too deep to see the clues?

Thinking like this, Liu Qi was already in tears.

Jiang Hanyu sighed and said: "Gang Master Lu, life and death are fateful, and wealth is in the sky. The old man understands your mood at the moment, they are dead, we have to continue to live, and the great cause of the prince of the county has not yet been completed. Wait for the prince of the county to ascend the throne, and then sacrifice to the dead. ”

Liu Qi nodded heavily.

At this moment, the white-clothed scholar beside Jiang Hanyu spoke and said, "Gang Master Lu, can the student ask you a few questions?"

Liu Qi glanced at the scholar and said, "This gentleman just asks." ”

The scholar said: "You said earlier that it was Lu Qingsong, the deputy leader of your gang, who resisted desperately with the Living Buddha of Yujia, that you escaped with your life, right?"

Liu Qi nodded and said, "That's true." ”

The scholar then asked: "But you said that the Living Buddha of Yujia was pierced through the brain by a flying knife against the Absolute Son, is it true?"

Liu Qidao: "Not bad. ”

The white-clothed scholar smiled, and then said, "Since he has been killed by the Absolute Son before, how did he save you?"
