20: The enemy
The dust settled, and the horror rested for a while. Xiao Jianshi hurriedly stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Master, are you okay with your old man?"
Cheng Li said disgustedly: "Of course it's okay." However, it is not allowed to call the old man any more. I'm not that old. ”
Xiao Jianshi was slightly embarrassed, bowed his head and said, "Yes." The disciple understood. But Master, how should we deal with the current matter?"
Cheng Li said lightly: "I'll leave it to you to deal with, how about it?"
Xiao Jianshi nodded vigorously and said in a condensed voice: "Master rest assured, the disciple will live up to expectations." ”
After a pause, Xiao Jianshi coughed twice, and his momentum changed suddenly. From the previous appearance of respectfully performing and claiming to be a disciple, he has become a foolish boy.
He said loudly and violently: "Deputy Chief Lu, what's going on? It was not easy for me to ask Master to agree to come here to meet you." Why are there assassins who are ambushing at the bottom of the bridge to assassinate my master? You must give me an explanation for this today. Otherwise, Xiuchun Mansion and Song Guogong Mansion will definitely not give up!"
Before today, Xiao Jianshi would never dare to speak to Deputy Chief Manager Lu in such a tone. Because no matter how you say it, Deputy Manager Lu is also his immediate boss. Even if he was rewarded with a silver fish bag by the Son of Heaven, the grade was still under the deputy head of the road after all. As long as he still wants to be promoted, then no matter what, he can't offend Deputy Chief Lu.
But now, the situation is completely different. After worshipping Cheng Li as a teacher, Xiao Jianshi felt that he had broken the existing trap and opened another new door. Looking back on the past, I only feel that what I did before was simply a fly and a dog, how ridiculous?
Therefore, now talking to Deputy Chief Manager Lu, Xiao Jianshi can be said to be just without desire, and he can do whatever he wants, and there is no restraint at all. It shows the true character of the children of the Guogong Mansion after the founding of the country.
On the grass on the other side of the arch bridge, Lu Zhongyue stood up and frowned. I was very surprised that Xiao Jianshi suddenly seemed to be a different person. At the same time, because he is usually used to seeing Xiao Jianshi cautious and fearful in front of him, he is very unaccustomed to Xiao Jianshi, who has suddenly become tough, and even a little disgusted.
But Lu Zhongyue also knew that no matter what happened in front of him, it was his own fault. If you don't get it right, the friend who you originally wanted to win over will become an enemy at any time. So he had to be patient, and while walking towards the arch bridge, he said in a condensed voice: "Guard Xiao, don't be impatient." actually let Cheng Baihu encounter danger, it is indeed the chief manager's negligence. However, the Governor swears in the name of his family ancestor that this group of assassins has absolutely nothing to do with the Chief. ”
Xiao Jianshi sneered: "Then Deputy Chief Lu, tell me who this group of people is related to?"
Lu Zhongyue was speechless for a while. But at this moment, there was a feminine but exaggerated voice nearby. And it just happened to relieve him.
"Yo, let's take a look. It's amazing. This old man is terrible. He is the 'Evil Thunder God' Lei Wanshan. ”
Lu Zhongyue hurriedly turned around and said with a respectful smile: "It's Gonggong An, it's just in time." The father-in-law is well-informed, and the things in the world and the people in the world can be said to know everything. Just come and help me see, what is the origin of this daring old man?"
Cheng Li narrowed his eyes slightly, following the prestige. I saw that the "father-in-law An" who spoke, about fifty years old, wearing a eunuch robe, short and fat, with a smile on his face. It looks completely harmless to humans and animals.
However, when his eyes occasionally opened and closed, they would glow with a sharp light. is obviously a master of extremely deep cultivation. Even if it is not as infinite as the original, it is at least the level of Zhu Shunshui.
looked at each other, and Grandpa An smiled before speaking. He hugged his fist at Cheng Li and said with a smile: "Cheng Baihu, look up for a long time." Our family is merciful, and the palace is serving all the nobles, just a servant of the lowly. It's just that although our family is lowly, we have always admired the heroes and heroes in the world. Today, I heard that the manager of the road was going to come to Xiyuan to have a party with Cheng Baihu, and our family was really itchy, so we were cheeky and followed the manager of the road. Cheng Baihu, shouldn't you be surprised?"
Xiao Jianshi hurriedly said: "Master, this father-in-law An is also an old minister of the Three Dynasties. From the time Emperor Taizu was still there, he had already entered the palace. The first emperor relied on it very much, and today's son was also raised by Gonggong An since he was a child. Therefore, the Son of Heaven treats Father-in-law An exactly the same as his own family. ”
Cheng Li nodded, and also clenched his fists and saluted back: "It turned out to be Grandpa An." Disrespectful. ”
Grandpa An smiled: "Don't lose it." If you want to say that you are lost, it is also our family's loss. After all, in the palace courtyard here, how can our family be regarded as a small half of the landlord. actually made trouble with the assassin and frightened Cheng Baihu, which is really our family's fault. ”
Cheng Li raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's going on?"
Xiao Jianshi hurriedly replied: "Master, Father-in-law An has been in the palace for decades, and it can be said that the palace is full of peaches and plums. The disciples and grandchildren are all combined, and I can't count how many there are. It just so happened that Gonggong Chen, who was in charge of managing the palace here, was Gonggong An's apprentice. So Father-in-law An said that he was the small half of the landlord here. ”
Cheng Li bowed slightly, but he was not busy talking. Although these Assassins pose no threat to themselves. But in any case, someone has to come out and give an explanation. Cheng Li wants to cooperate with the Great Wei Imperial Court to fight against the "ultimate evil" together. But that doesn't mean he has to make compromises. If the people in the court have malicious intentions towards themselves, then Cheng Li will never be merciful and accustomed to their stinky problems.
Gonggong An served three generations of emperors in the palace. It's hard to say anything else. This ability to observe faces and colors can really be cultivated to the point where no one can match it. Seeing that Cheng Li didn't speak, Father-in-law An couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Knowing the matter in front of him, he couldn't just say a few good words on his own and successfully passed the test.
Secretly sighing softly, Grandpa An raised his hands, slapped them three times in a row, and shouted, "Xiao Rong." ”
Another young eunuch who was very young and had an extremely pale complexion hurried over in three steps, nodded and said, "Master, please command, old man." ”
Gonggong An patted him on the shoulder and ordered, "Go, call your Senior Brother Chen over." Everyone made everything clear in person, and that would be good for everyone. Otherwise, hehe~ Don't say that Cheng Baihu is unhappy, even the road manager and our family are not happy. ”
The young eunuch surnamed Rong agreed repeatedly. Gonggong An turned around again, and said with a smile on his face: "Alas, Xiao Guard, what did you call Cheng Baihu just now? If our family is not deaf, it seems to be ...... Master?"
Xiao Jianshi proudly puffed out her chest and said, "Not bad." Thanks to my teacher's refusal to give up, I have already entered the disciple of my teacher and become a disciple of my teacher's founding disciple. Uncle Shi also agreed to this. ”
Gonggong An was slightly startled, and subconsciously looked back at Lu Zhongyue and glanced at each other, and each other's eyes showed surprise and amazement. But then Grandpa An smiled again and arched his hand: "I see." Congratulations. Congratulations to Cheng Baihu for receiving a good disciple. Congratulations to Guard Xiao for worshipping a good master. ”
Lu Zhongyue also hugged his fists and said sullenly, "Congratulations." ”
Cheng Li waved his hand and said, "It's nothing." Well, Father-in-law An, just now you said, what is this old guy who killed himself headlong called'Evil Thor'?"
Gonggong An restrained his smile and nodded, "Not bad." The evil thunder god 'Lei Wanshan' is the master of the Thunderbolt Hall and the cousin of Lei Wanjun. When he was young, he also used to run rampant in the rivers and lakes, and there was never an enemy under his palm. Our family went out of the palace on the orders of the first emperor back then, and we really dealt with Lei Wanshan a few times. Hey, this guy is really tough. At that time, our family was not at home, and we suffered a lot. At one point, he almost confessed. ”
Xiao Jianshi was puzzled: "Oh, in this way, this Lei Wanshan should be very famous, why have I never heard of it?"
Gonggong An sighed: "Because later, the previous head of the Lei family of Perak Hall passed away. In order to determine who will be the next head of the family, the Lei family quarreled very much. And the most vocal are the two brothers Lei Wanshan and Lei Wanjun.
In order to avoid fratricidal brothers, Lei Wanshan left Jiangnan and has not been seen for decades. Some people say that he went to the Liangzhou area and became a lone thief. Some people also say that he went to the southwest and bought a family of toast in the local area. In short, there is everything to say. Our family thought that they would never see this person again in this life, and they would not be able to get it back after the losses they suffered back then. I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it. Speaking of this, Grandpa An couldn't help but sigh and shake his head again and again.
Lu Zhongyue also hugged his fists and said sullenly, "Congratulations." ”
