Chapter 22: Blood Shadow Knife Light (1 more)

Deng Zhongqi was listening to the next wall, and suddenly heard Gao Yichuan and Wu Jie both get up and whispered: "Mrs. Xiang, it is all in your mind for both misfortune and blessing." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 With that, the two of them hid behind the two bookcases in the stone house.

Deng Zhongqi was very surprised, only to hear Xiang Shaolong open the door, followed by two soft sounds of "huh" and "huh", jumping into the house from outside the door, it can be seen that there are two good hands again. Deng Zhongqi was ashamed in his heart, and secretly thought to himself: "I have been learning kung fu with my master for more than ten years, and when I came to the door, I realized that not only was I far inferior to Master Xiang, who was nearly sixty years old, but even Gao and Wu were much better than me. Looking at the situation tonight, even if I hadn't been hit by the black-robed man and put it here, I am afraid that I would only be a drag on Master Xiang, making him distracted to take care of me while facing the enemy's sinister plots. At this moment, Deng Zhongqi only hoped that the acupoint could be unlocked by himself quickly, so that he could first hide Song Song safely, and then wait for the opportunity to outwit the enemy and help Master Xiang relieve the siege.

Listening only to the stone room, Xiang Shaolong said: "Brother Lu, what kind of wind blew you here?"

One laughed and said, "Why, I haven't seen you for many years, doesn't Brother Xiang welcome old friends?"

Another person said: "I have admired the prestige of Mrs. Xiang for a long time, and today I finally have the fate to see it, which is really fortunate." ”

Xiang Shaolong said again: "Brother Lu, who is this friend?" Please forgive me for being dazzled by old age and unrecognizable. ”

The other person made a gesture and continued: "I have been old friends with Brother Amaterasu for many years, but I have a first meeting with Mrs. Xiang, of course you won't recognize Mrs. Xiang." ”

The person who spoke first hurriedly introduced: "This is Brother Feng Jing, the clan brother of the right prime minister Feng Quji. ”

Xiang Shaolong smiled, nodded and said, "I still remember Master Feng Quji, I think I still had some friendship with him before I resigned and retired." ”

Deng Zhongqi, who was on the other wall, was shocked when he heard this, it turned out that these two people also had a great background! The person who spoke first was named Lu Tianzhao, who was one of the four protectors of the Zhongyi Pavilion, and the weapon he used was a double chain hammer, and he was even better at using a vicious secret weapon. More than half a year ago, Huang Fujing and Bai Fenghuang broke into the death row at night, rescued Liao Xiaomeng, and made a big fuss in the Zhongyi Pavilion, and the other three protectors all died under the swords of Huang Fujing and Liao Xiaomeng, but Lu Tianzhao was only injured and did not lose his life. [For details, see Chapter 30 (II) of My Upper "Hundred Schools of Thought" (II) Across the World] Before entering the Zhongyi Pavilion for Zhao Gaoli, Lu Tianzhao was also recommended by the Empress Dowager Zhao Ji to serve as a guard in the palace for two years, and Xiang Shaolong can also be called colleagues. The Feng Jing who came with him was not only the brother of the right prime minister Feng Quji, but also Lu Tianzhao's old partner before entering the palace. Feng Jing's kung fu is also known for being vicious, and he has been invading for twenty or thirty years on a pair of life-seeking double hooks, and if he really wants to make a move, it is really not easy to deal with.

I only heard Feng Jing laugh and said: "Mrs. Xiang, we will all be ministers of the same palace in the future, and we have to ask Mrs. Xiang to take care of it, brother is polite!"

Xiang Shaolong turned his head, didn't accept his salute, and asked Lu Tianzhao, "What do you mean by coming?"

Lu Tianzhao said with a straight face: "His Majesty the Emperor's secret edict is here, please ask Brother Xiang to take the edict." ”

"Oh, really?" Xiang Shaolong picked up the edict in disbelief, opened it, and saw that it was written that he would be given "official reinstatement", and his two brothers Teng Yi and Jing Jun were crowned as the chief guards of the palace, asking them to enter Beijing immediately to "meet him". Xiang Shaolong smiled secretly in his heart: "I can't imagine that Yingzheng's trust in Zhao Gao has reached the point of delegating the power of issuing edicts to him, and Zhao Gao, like Li Si, also wants to lure me with his official position, and wants to win me to his side as a political bargaining chip." Oh, if I really want to be an official, why did I resign more than ten years ago and escape from Xianyang with my family?"

"Mrs. Xiang, can you see it clearly?" Feng Jing asked cautiously.

"I can't take this edict." Xiang Shaolong shook his head and said.

"Mrs. Xiang, why is this?" Lu Tianzhao was surprised.

"Not to mention that my two brothers have already passed away one after another, and I can't take them back to the court as officials," Xiang Shaolong replied, "Today's Prime Minister Li Si, but I personally recommended it to the former emperor to let him be the prince's attendant, and I also strongly advocated that His Majesty the Emperor would reuse him." Now that your Lord Zhao said that he sensed Li Si's ill intentions, I am afraid that he will learn from Lu Buwei for plotting to make trouble and shake the country, if this is the case, then wouldn't I be guilty of complicity?"

"It is precisely because Li Si was single-handedly helped by Mrs. Xiang that he is in today's position back then, so only when you return to the court can you really suppress him," Feng Jing hurriedly continued, "Lord Zhao can assure you that His Majesty the Emperor will not pursue this matter, otherwise this edict will not say that you will be reinstated as an official, right?" ”

"Suspicion can't be used as evidence, the main reason why Li Si can get to this point is not me, but his talent, city government and skill," Xiang Shaolong said, "What's more, today's Li Si is no longer the same as the Li Si I knew back then, even if I go out of the mountain again, I may not be able to suppress him." ”

"Although Mrs. Xiang knows Li Si, he doesn't know Lord Zhao," Feng Jing sneered, "Since our Lord Zhao dares to say that he Li Si harbors evil intentions, he is absolutely completely sure," he said and stepped forward and said to Xiang Shaolong in a low voice, "We have evidence that Li Si has been secretly arranging all these years to investigate the matter of 'Canglong Qisu' and 'Xuantian Yujue'. ”

"Hehe, I have a message here for Lord Zhao, and I can also give it to Prime Minister Li," Xiang Shaolong smiled slightly, "Among the two of them, the closer to the truth of these two things, the sooner their fate will come to a tragic end." ”

"Then do you accept this edict or not? Give me a good talk! So that my two brothers can go back on an errand. Lu Tianzhao gritted his teeth and said.

"No." Xiang Shaolong shook his head and said.

"That's good! Now that Brother Xiang has made up his mind, we will no longer force it. Green mountains and green waters, see each other indefinitely, our brothers are leaving, you take care of yourself!" These words were very similar to the words of a friend's farewell, Xiang Shaolong couldn't help but move in his heart, thinking that although this Lu Tianzhao was different from his own way, he was also a person of temperament.

Seeing Lu Tianzhao slowly put away the edict, Xiang Shaolong couldn't help but say: "Brother Lu, please ask me to greet the other old acquaintances in the court in the past, and I hope they are all well." ”

Lu Tianzhao hurriedly arched his hand and said, "This is natural." ”

Just when Xiang Shaolong and Lu Tianzhao were saying goodbye to each other, Feng Jing on the side suddenly made a move, and a hook cut Xiang Shaolong's left shoulder, and then, Lu Tianzhao also slapped his palm, and slapped it on Xiang Shaolong's chest! It turned out that the two of them had already received Zhao Gao's secret order: if Xiang Shaolong refused to accept the edict, he would be killed immediately!
