"My lord. "In this courtyard, there was finally a sound.

After this sound, Xuanxi held the left hand of the sword, loosened and tightened, tightened and loosened, repeated several times, and then slowly spoke, "Are there casualties?"

"The subordinates were incompetent, broke two brothers, and made the thief run away. It's just that the man was seriously injured, and he must not be able to run far, and Shadow Seven has already led someone to chase him. ”

"Tell Shadow Seven to come back, you don't have to chase it, just guard this place. ”

The door was opened by Xuanxi from the inside, and Zheng Duo slowly got up, only to realize that a deep white mark on the palm of his hand was actually the pattern of the candlestick handle.

A quarter of an hour ago, the hibiscus flowers bloomed in the moonlight, and after a quarter of an hour, it was already a bloody court in the world.

There were several corpses lying on the ground, and the blood had accumulated in the court, and it was purple in the night, and it looked like rouge made of hibiscus.

Ying Yi, who had just answered outside the door, had already walked in front of Xuan Xi at this time, and he was still holding a person in his hand, and a wound several inches long on the back of that person was running across his back, and he was covered in blood, and he couldn't even see his face clearly.

"Is this the third shadow?" Rao is frosty face, and Xuan Xi also looked anxious at this time. The eldest son of the family has henchmen and guards around him, and the secret guards he trained with his own hands are even more rare. Needless to say, Ying San's martial arts are strong, and his quick wit and thoughtful actions are even more outstanding among the secret guards, otherwise he would not have been stationed on Zhang Qi's side at this time for personal protection, and Zhang Qi could not have only this one secret guard on his side, and the Zhang family was protected by layers of horses, so he could kill in front of Ying San, not to mention that it would take hundreds of people to succeed.

It's just that Ying San is like this now, and Zhang Qi's situation may not even be as good as the estimation of the two of them.

"It's the subordinates. Under the bloody face, his lips moved slowly, Xuan Xi looked at him and struggled to open his eyes to look at himself, he was also distressed, and saw Ying San looking down at the cuff of his boots, as if he was about to say something, but suddenly his eyes rolled, and he fainted straight.

Ying Yi hurriedly probed his snort, although he was breathing, he still breathed, so he couldn't take care of it, so he immediately followed Xuanxi into the inner room, put him on Zheng Duo's big bed, and started to treat the wounds on his body.

At this time, the candlestick was lit up in the room, and I saw that in addition to the horizontal knife wound on the shadow three, there were no less than dozens of wounds large and small, that is, people like the shadow one, who were accustomed to life and death, licking blood on the tip of the knife, and their hands trembled when they were drugged. What a fierce battle, how difficult it is, to get out of here.

After the wounds were medicated, he poured two bowls of ginseng soup into Ying Sanqiang, and seeing that his breathing was much more stable, Ying Yi cleaned up the wound medicine, and washed his hands several times before walking in front of Xuanxi. For more than an hour, Xuan Xi and Zheng Duo only sat indoors, but they were silent.

"Master. Before Ying Yi spoke, his eyes were already crimson, and his voice trembled, "This kind of means is bound to kill San'er." Fortunately, his life was big, it was all skin wounds, he lost too much blood, and now he started to have a fever again, and in this summer, I am afraid that his wound will fester, and this life is only half of it now. ”

Xuan Xi was silent for a while, and he didn't speak, but those eyes still revealed the anger in his heart at this time.

"The person who injured this guard and the corpses in the courtyard, but the accomplices?" Zheng Duo said.

"Exactly. Ying Yi also restrained the grief in his chest, returned to his hard-hearted and cold appearance in the past, and replied respectfully, "My subordinates deduce that this group of people should have chased and killed Ying San all the way to this point. Ying San can have a life to be killed in the Hou Mansion, and it is really his fate. Those corpses, I just took a cursory look, and all of them had their tongues cut off, so that when we were fighting, we didn't make a sound. ”

"The killer with his tongue cut off. Xuan Xi spoke slowly, but his voice was as cold as a bone-scraping steel knife, "Li Jiangyuan is a big deal this time." Shadow San attracted such a heavy army to chase and kill, he must have known something amazing. Zhang Qi's current situation, I dare not imagine. ”

"Fortunately, he came here, Zhang Qi, and he was safe. Zheng Duo patted Xuanxi on the shoulder, at this time, how could he not know that there must be a tacit understanding between Xuanxi and Zhang Qi, and it is not an ordinary ally, Zhang Qi can be in this delicate situation, to be the head of this row of Gaoyang County Guard, during the period must also be Xuanxi's handiwork, "What Zhang Qi is holding must be something that Li Jiangyuan is afraid of, Li Jiangyuan will definitely know that he has lost tomorrow, and that Zhang Qi has become a bargaining chip in his hand, that is, he wants to reduce ten meetings with one force, and he can't help it." In this way, Zhang Qi doesn't have to worry. ”

"But where is this thing now?"

"Go see Kagezo's boots. As soon as Xuanxi's mind turned, he remembered that at the last moment before he passed out, he was looking at his boots.

Shadow immediately brought up the boots that Shadow had just taken off, and even the boots were soaked in blood. He fumbled a few times, and then he felt a corner at the turn of the sole of his right shoe, and picked it open with a dagger, which turned out to be a few Sujuan wrapped in oiled paper, and a rubbing. These objects have not been stained by blood at all, and the handwriting on them is clear, taking advantage of Ying San's appearance at this time, it is even more precious.

Xuanxi took the letter and handed it to Zheng Duo first, Zheng Duo was not pretentious, and immediately read it quickly at a glance, his face was half solemn, but it was also mixed with a little joy, but it was very interesting. He read it very quickly, and in a moment he forwarded the letter to Xuanxi, and looked at the rubbing.

This rubbing is incomplete, it seems to have been reprinted, only the stumps, but it is not difficult to see that this should be a seal, but for a while it is impossible to see who the owner of this seal is.

If this news is true, the impasse in Longxi can be broken. It's just that Zhang Qi has only been here for more than a month, and a few days later than Xie Wei, how did he get such confidential information? The imperial court has been here for several years, and how many spies have been buried here, but no one has mentioned this matter. ”

"There are no other three possibilities, one is that Zhang Qi does have superhuman qualities, the second is that there are masters to help, and third, the spies of the imperial court have long been bought, mixed into the fine work, and become deaf and blind. And in my opinion, I am afraid that there are only three of them. ”

"What my uncle said was very true. What does my uncle think about now?"

Zheng Duo glanced at Xuanxi, and saw that he had returned to his previous cold appearance, and pretended to be a junior with his eyebrows down, but he only smiled slightly, and said: "When I left Beijing, Your Majesty personally gave the authority of the Qincha, and I could make a decision on the spot." If the conjecture is really answered, this court spy has been carefully bribed, and it is not safe to send a message back to Beijing at this time, and it will inevitably fold many casualties. In this way, while sending a message through a secret line, you will enter the capital mansion first, and then your father will pass on His Majesty to ensure safety. Here, I am in charge, and at my age, I deserve this master. ”

"Uncle. Xuanxi sighed, but saw that Zheng Duo just waved his hand, so he stopped talking.

"It's just that this Yanping Marquis Mansion is really a good rule. There was such a big thing in this guest house, and the host's house did not move at this time, and I really lived this age, which can be regarded as an eye-opener. Zheng Duo's words are extremely mean, but he can say it unscrupulously, no matter how mean he is.

"The Marquis of Yanping Mansion is afraid that he is already anxious at this time, and he is trying his best to find an excuse for us. Xuan Xi also smiled, "The Guiyuan Marquis Mansion doesn't treat his own Yue family as an outsider, and it is also a rare in-law to make trouble for them so unscrupulously." ”

"Not to mention how he Yanping Houfu is, Xing Peng is not enough to worry about, but he is a supporting role. Zheng Duo smiled, but his expression changed a little in an instant, "Now you and I are in a predicament, trapped here, but I don't know what attitude and plans Jingzhong has." ”

"It doesn't matter what is on the side, I'm just afraid of Jingzhong, I don't know that the internal situation in Longxi is already like this, and I still want to take a gentle path. Your Majesty's new emperor ascended the throne, and the DPRK and China were already striving for stability, and there was great resistance to the matter of Kuyin, and if I knew about such a situation again, I am afraid that I would suffer a lot of setbacks today. ”

"But thou art faithful, and at this time thou art tempted me for this day. Now, I don't want to support Your Majesty, and I can't do it, right?"

"Uncle is wise. ”

Such a bloody thing happened in the mansion of the Marquis of Yanping, how could Xing Peng, who prides himself on being a strict ruler, not know, so when Ying Sanyi entered the Hou Mansion, Xing Peng ordered someone to urgently recall Xing Tao, who had just left for half an hour, and two or three henchmen back to the study.

Xing Tao, who had just woken up at that time, just rubbed his eyes, his face was still the same old look as before, and he spit out four words: "Wait and see." ”

After these two hours, the henchmen and guards who had been staring closely at the movement in the courtyard reported, only to say that the guest house had already disposed of all the corpses, Xing Peng listened to this reply, Fang Jue, this quiet observation of the changes, the view is really not good.

This is not to wait and see, but to sit idly by, in terms of his current identity, although it does not seem to be a mistake, but the fault is that the pattern is too small.

And his pattern is so small, if it is not at this time, since Xie Wei died in the Hou Mansion, the Yanping Hou Mansion has walked in this small corner of this huge game of chess, and now if he wants to leave, he has long been unable to help himself.

For the first time in decades, Xing Peng felt that he seemed to have missed the teaching of his eldest son.

Thinking of this, Xing Peng immediately stood up, his eyes swept over the faces of the staff, and without saying a word, he pushed the door directly. The staff member who reported the news earlier also got up and asked without thinking, "Master Hou, it's so late, you?"

"It's late, so I can't afford to delay for a moment. I'm going to make amends to Zheng Guogong, even if I can't turn around for half a minute, it's my own fault. ”

"Father!" Xing Tao was completely awake at this time, and he couldn't help but speak loudly.

Xing Tao only felt that his father looked at him with a little less of his former look of relief, his eyes were sharp and cold, not like he was looking at his son, but more like looking at his subordinates.

"Not keeping up yet. Xing Peng's voice was dull, and when he fell, he also startled the henchmen beside him, "A few gentlemen might as well think about Ben Hou tonight, how to keep this in this chaos." Ben Hou does not seek wealth and nobility, but he also does not want to be slaughtered by his predecessor who was pulled into battle by the Guiyuan Marquis Mansion without knowing it. ”
