Chapter 37: Murder by the Sword
"Boom!"
Thunder and lightning roared, and the pitch-black sky flashed with an electric light. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Drip ...... Answer...... Tick...... Tick ......"
The rain was slowly falling.
"It's going to rain?"
Liu Suifeng stretched out his hand to probe the size of the raindrops, and then took the hat on the head of a night fishing boatman on the shore with one hand, "Lend me it." ”
"Eh, this is mine, it's going to rain...... Hmmm......"
The boatman who was suddenly taken to the hat was only halfway through his words, when Liu Suifeng took out a large handful of silver and gagged his mouth.
"Ahhh......h What are you doing here?"
The boatman, whose eyes were shining, had just spit out the broken silver in his mouth, and when he counted it with a smile, he saw Liu Suifeng open the wine gourd he was carrying, and poured the unknown liquid that was as clear as water into the river.
"Here, wash your face. ”
"Wash your face?...... Hmm...... "The boatman only hesitated halfway, and was gagged by Liu Suifeng with a handful of silver, and put on the robe that was put aside in his hand.
"Ahh......h Don't, don't, I'm going to wash your face!"
Seeing that Liu Suifeng took out another handful of silver, the boatman didn't say much, and hurriedly ran to the river to squat, holding a handful of water with both hands, and "snapped" twice on his face.
"Why does this river water have a strange smell, wine?"
But in the next second, the boatman only felt his head twitch slightly, as if he had forgotten something.
"Eh, wasn't I fishing just now? Why did you suddenly come to wash your face?"
Then he touched his pocket, and saw that it was full of a large pile of silver taels, and both pockets were pulled down by the weight of those silver taels.
"Fog grass! Where did you get so much money, could it be that the New Year's Koi King has appeared?"
Looking at the back of Liu Suifeng slowly leaving in the rain, the boatman also scratched his head, and only felt a familiar feeling, as if he had seen it somewhere before, but he just couldn't remember it.
"Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick ......Tick T
"It's raining heavily!" Seeing the rain gradually becoming more and more urgent, the boatman also held his two heavy pockets of silver taels in both hands, and ran back to the fishing boat where he lived.
"Go back and tell the adults that they don't touch the water source of Yangzhou City again in the next two days. The woman in black, who had been walking in the wind, also moved her purple-black lips and said to the crow that stopped in her hand.
After that, the crow seemed to understand the words of the woman in black, and without saying a word, he flapped his wings and flew away.
But before a moment later, an old voice sounded in the ears of the woman in black, "Even such contact can erase memories, no wonder the blind old man is so cautious, this drunken dream of death, it seems that it is indeed a dangerous thing." ”
Several dark shadows also "swished" beside her.
The crow that flew out before was also caught by the old man in his hand, and was "quacking" and quacking.
The willow in the eyes of several people was also walking silently in the rain.
The rain was pouring down, crackling on the willow with the wind.
The wind was blowing, and the fine grass growing from the edge of the coat danced wildly.
The lightning flashed and thundered, and Liu's face was also flickering in the dark night.
Stepping on the muddy road, where the willow passed with the wind, the earth dog tied to the door and guarding the door, did not dare to bark, kept shrinking back, struggled to tear off the rope tied to the quilt, and ran away in the rain.
The cows, sheep, chickens and pigs in the circle are even more "moo", "baa", "chirp" and "chirp" in piles huddled in the corner, screaming non-stop.
The peasants thought that they had been robbed or that wolves had come, so they lit their lamps and rushed out with rolling pins and nail rakes.
But as soon as he saw the face in the rain that flickered in the electric light, he didn't soften his legs directly, and sat back on the ground full of muddy water, shivering and unable to move.
Even the war horses under the crotches of the officers and soldiers patrolling the city were so frightened that they neighed in fright when they saw the man in the hat slowly walking by, and their buttocks were upside down, and the officers and soldiers on the horses flew out and fled.
Just like an earthquake or tsunami or other devastating disaster, the innate instinctive response of animals is not as sluggish as humans, and they all flee in uneasiness.
……
At the same time, Flower Street, Jinfeng Building.
Outside the largest green building in this flower street, there are many iron-masked people guarding at this time.
In the pouring rain, a person was kneeling in front of the gate of Jinfeng Tower, constantly kowtowing, "Lord Qin, the villain is wrong! The villain is wrong! The villain should not disturb your Yaxing!"
Passers-by holding umbrellas, regardless of the heavy rain, all gathered in a circle and discussed.
"Isn't this a county order? Why are you kowtowing in front of everyone here?"
"Yo, you don't know this, Chang'an came to order before, saying that it was to crack down on pornography and eliminate illegal activities, rectify obscure and pornographic activities, and the county orders of various counties in Yangzhou City led the team to rectify it, but it was almost a county. ”
"That's right, but it's hard to get this county order, I thought that I would capture the thief and capture the king first, and first serve the largest Jinfeng Building in this flower street, but how do you know that the behind-the-scenes boss of the flower street is the Qin family in Guanlong, and the young master of the Qin family also happens to be playing in it, do you say this county order is unlucky?"
"Guan Long's Qin family, is there such a cow, and the emperor's will dares to disobey?"
"Emperor, people are really not afraid, didn't you see the anniversary celebration a few days ago, it is a double-layer palace top, and it is a dragon pillar, I feel that Qin Wushuang really wants to wear a dragon robe and sit on a dragon chair." ”
……
In the Jinfeng Tower, two people who did not wear black iron masks were playing chess in a small pavilion in the courtyard, and they felt that they were more noble than the iron-masked people guarding outside, both in terms of bearing and expression.
"I said, man, what are you going to do with this move?" said one of the older ones.
"How else can I go, one step at a time, now Emperor Hua Wen is too lazy to act, and directly put aside the queen of our Qin family. The young man made a chess move and said casually.
"It's no wonder that the eldest grandson and Emperor Huawen's childhood sweetheart grew up together, and when the world was in turmoil at the end of the previous dynasty, he also took the retainers of the eldest grandson family to fight the world with Emperor Huawen, and the feelings were not ordinarily deep.
Now that the overall situation of the world has been decided, Emperor Hua Wen has also sat on the dragon chair, and suddenly let a foreign Qin family woman be the queen of the main palace, and let the eldest grandson be the smallest, in other words, any man will not swallow this breath. ”
"Alas......" The older man made another move and sighed, "Now the Qin family doesn't give face, and they built a palace and exiled Emperor Huawen's henchmen in Taiyuan, I'm afraid that now the two families are like this little soldier, they can only advance but not retreat, and there is no turning back when they open their bows, and sooner or later they will have to fight." ”
The elder looked at the young man again, "Let me tell you the truth, although I am favored by the Qin family, I can still understand the current situation." Now the Guanlong clan is still strong with the Chang'an Tang family, but look at the guy in front of you. ”
As he spoke, the elder pointed to Qin Ke, who was drinking and laughing among the women in the Jinfeng Tower.
"Look, in the future, the Qin family will be handed over to that person.
In the past, when the old man Qin was in charge of the Qin family, this kind of scum son had already been cut by himself!
Now that the old man Qin is dead, this Qin Wushuang is okay, it's a bit of a pound, at least he still has the capital to negotiate, and he made a peace agreement with the Turks, although he is aggrieved every year and gives some money and horses to spend, but at least the border people are not disturbed.
But in the future, we're going to call the Turks Daddy!"
"Alas!" said the old man, who couldn't help but slap the table.
But I saw that the young man's face was still unwavering, as if he was a little helpless, "Of course I know, but what else can we do now? Go to Chang'an? But don't forget that we are the Eight Pillar Ministers, and there are hundreds of people in the family, but they were all taken to Taiyuan by Qin Wushuang's guy, and they were intimately 'cared for'.
General!"
"Misty grass, you kid, take advantage of my words to make a sneak attack! No, don't count, don't count, this game doesn't count!" The elder also rubbed his hands on the chessboard like a slapstick.
……
"Boom!"
There was another deafening sound, and I saw that Liu Suifeng, who came to the front of Jinfeng Tower, suddenly retracted his murderous aura and squeezed into the crowd of onlookers.
"Excuse me, everyone, let me pass for a moment. ”
"Eh, you, what to squeeze, what to squeeze, eat melons and watch also pay attention to the first come, first come, first come, let me line up at the back. ”
"That is, today's young people, whether they have the quality or not, will cut the queue as soon as they come. ”
……
"Uh-uh... Everyone, I'm really embarrassed, I have something urgent, forgive me, forgive me......" Liu Suifeng, who was responsible for a group of people, and finally squeezed in, was also a little embarrassed to lose a few no, and then walked to the iron-masked man guarding the main gate.
"What are you doing!" the man in the iron mask asked impatiently as he watched Liu come with the wind, and touched the handle of the horizontal knife on his waist.
I saw Liu rubbing his hands with the wind, nodding and smiling.
"Hee-hee, this big brother, I want to ask you to borrow something. ”
"Borrow something, borrow something...... Ahem......"
"Poof!"
With a burst of murderous aura that frightened the birds and beasts, a cold light of a horizontal knife flashed, and the man in the iron mask was cut through his throat by his own knife before he could finish speaking, and his hands covered his throat with blood spraying wildly, and he fell to the ground with wide eyes, unable to speak.
"Borrow your knife and use it. ”
Liu Suifeng, who was originally pretending to be a grandson with a hippie smile, suddenly became cold in his voice, and looked coldly at the man in the iron mask who fell to the ground.
"What?" Another decent person on the side was also shocked, he really didn't expect anyone to dare to do anything to them.
"Click!"
But before his hand could touch the hilt of the knife on his waist, he was slashed off by Liu Suifeng, splitting the mask on his face into two pieces.
"Poof" another corpse fell.
"Whoa, ah, kill, kill!"
Looking at the blood that flowed down the steps and stained the ground red, the melon-eating crowd threw away their umbrellas and fled in shock.
The shilling who knelt and kowtowed before was even more frightened.
A large number of iron-masked people also "swished" around Liu Suifeng.
"Click" "Click"
Two unmasked people also appeared on the eaves.
"Who's coming?"
