79 Far water, near fire

The people in the room with swords in their hands were all killers who licked blood with their knives, and they reacted quickly, and pounced fiercely to kill the few people who fell to the ground.

But...... They pounced quickly, and they fell quickly. Because Dugu Zhen and the others, who pretended to fall to the ground, were all ready to give them a fatal blow. Obviously, this lightning shot was a great success, Jiang Lei hit the chest of the man dressed as the shopkeeper, and the man was beaten out of the window and killed on the spot.

Qing Yi in Qing Shi's hand shot again, piercing a person's chest. Dugu Zhen, Yu Wenruo, and Qingshan each killed one person. Only Jiang Feng did not make a move, but quickly protected Zhu Xuanzhi's side, and at the same time released a ringing arrow outward, informing the brothers of the Lantern Society who were not far away.

"Sure enough, it's the bamboo gang leader of the Lantern Society, hum, it's really hard to deal with." One of them sneered.

"Everyone is an old acquaintance, is this all you have the ability to do at night? It's really not much growth. Zhu Xuanzhi said with a sneer.

"Up!" The man suddenly shouted.

The gang pounced viciously again, Qing Shi and the others raised their swords to parry, and they had to admit that the kung fu of the people sent by the Night Evil this time was really strong, and they only resisted a few moves, and Yu Wenruo took the lead in defeating and was tripped and fell to the ground by a bench. Fortunately, Dugu Zhen blocked a move for him, and he was saved from injury.

Dugu Zhen, Qing Shan, and Yu Wenruo After all, their martial arts are not as good as Jiang Lei and Qing Shi, and they are very difficult to parry, but fortunately, Jiang Feng sent a message just now to notify the people behind them to arrive in time, and quickly and cleanly solved this large number of killers, and everyone was able to relax.

"Wen Ruo, are you okay?" Seeing that the group of people just now had fallen to the ground and everyone was safe, Zhu Xuanzhi asked.

"It's okay, I tripped over a stool, thanks to Brother Zhen." Yu Wenruo seemed a little undecided.

"It's okay, you just owe me a big favor." Dugu Zhen smiled.

Seeing that everyone was fine, Zhu Xuanzhi saluted them and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, everyone, please forgive your sins, because some grievances in the rivers and lakes below have brought you into danger, and I have made amends to you below." ”

"Sir, we are all close friends, there is no need to say such things, and if it weren't for Mr. today's help, it would be dangerous for me to wait, besides...... Besides, Mr. was the first to notice that there was a problem with the shopkeeper, didn't he? Qing Shi wanted to say that besides, Mr. caused such a disaster for His Majesty's great cause, but because of the large number of people, Qing Shi didn't say much.

"Yes, we are commensurate with brothers, and we don't talk to each other." Dugu Zhen said.

"That's right! They are right, but Brother Lan, how did you find out that there is something wrong with this little two? Wen Ruo asked.

"It's just a coincidence, I see that the shopkeeper's method of pouring tea is a little rusty, and the tea is too full, and you go over to take a look, the palm that was cut off by the princess, and the arm, are obviously thicker than normal people, and the tiger's mouth also has calluses, not like the Zhuang family used farm tools to fall, but it seems to be left by perennial martial arts, so he became suspicious and asked him to pour a bowl again. In the next perennial acting in the rivers and lakes, it is natural to be a little more careful in doing things. Taketake's explanation was easy.

Jiang Lei turned over the sword in the palm of his hand and said, "It's really calloused." ”

Seeing this, Qing Shi said: "Mr. is really cautious and observant, Qing Shi admires." ”

"The princess has won the award, and it's getting late, everyone be careful, let's go back early." Zhu Xuanzhi said.

"Good! Everyone be careful. Everyone reminded each other, and then the brothers of the Lantern Society surrounded Takegenyuki and the others in the middle, and returned to the city on guard.

……

Early the next morning, Qin Cheng hurriedly sneaked to Taoyuan to visit Zhu Xuanzhi.

"What's the matter, I heard from the people of the Chang'an Assassin Mansion early in the morning that you were in trouble again yesterday." Qin Cheng asked anxiously,

"Isn't it good for me, senior brother, you came here early in the morning, and I haven't woken up yet?" Zhu Xuanzhi said with sleepy eyes.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, I'm just coming to see you, I'll leave if it's okay." Qin Cheng hurriedly said and left, but his face was still happy.

"Alas—if you don't sit down, what are you going to run?" Zhu Xuanzhi shouted with his hand stretched out in the air.

"I'm on duty today, don't talk about it, let's go first!" At this time, Qin Cheng was already outside the door.

Zhu Xuanzhi shook his head and said, "Hey, I can't sleep anyway, so let's get up." ”

"Helper, I was a little frightened yesterday, so let's sleep a little more today." Uncle Tian came over and said.

"It's okay, get up and sit down, someone will definitely come today," Zhu Xuan said as he got dressed.

"There's one more thing I forgot to tell you." Qin Cheng, who had just disappeared, returned to the house and said.

"Why are you back again?" Zhu Xuanzhi looked at him and asked strangely.

"Your Majesty asked me to tell you that Ximenbai's affairs have been done beautifully, and I want you to be more careful in your actions in the future. Okay, I'm leaving, be careful yourself. After saying that, Qin Cheng hurriedly jumped out of the wall and left.

"How can this majestic General Qin be like this?" Uncle Tian said.

…… Zhu Xuanzhi didn't know how to answer.

As soon as the morning court ended, Yu Wenshen hurriedly came to Taoyuan. Yu Wenshen and Zhu Xuanzhi sat opposite each other.

"I heard that Mr. was attacked again yesterday, how are you doing?" Yuwen looked very concerned.

"Thank you for your concern, it's not a big deal here, just a little thief, the lantern will not be in your eyes." Zhu Xuanzhi said disdainfully.

"It's better to be careful, go out and bring more people, otherwise the murderous intent on the Shizi's side will not dissipate." Yu Wenshen said.

"How is Ximen Bai doing?" Zhu Xuanzhi asked from a different point of view.

As soon as he said this, Yuwen Shen shook his head again and again, drank a cup of tea, and said, "Hey! Mr. is right, heart disease, even if his health is barely improving, I am afraid that it will be difficult to continue to appoint in the future, and now the imperial court has appointed several other doctors to jointly assist in Ximen Bai's errand, and the Tiangong is in charge of the errand of rewards and punishments for officials, I am afraid that it will be difficult to interfere. ”

"The will of the imperial court has been heard in the future, and Tsukasa Zai did this to ask the prince not to interfere in some things, and at the same time, it is also to ask the prince not to interfere again." Zhu Xuanzhi said.

Why is that? Does my father want to let others in? Yu Wenshen asked.

"Not really, maybe before Ximen Bai's accident, Tsukasa Jae didn't mean to let the two of them interfere." Zhu Xuanzhi said.

"Anyway, is there something that my father doesn't let us interfere with anymore?" Yuwen asked deeply.

"It's not that I don't want the prince and the son to interfere, but I don't want the son and the son to fight anymore without principles and bottom lines." Zhu Xuanzhi corrected.

"Sir, are you saying that Ximenbai's matter has encountered his father's taboo?"

"That's right, this play planned by the prince of the world, using a kabuki to overthrow a member of the imperial court, is indeed cost-effective for the prince. But for Tsukasa Jae, his son really did a very rude and shameless thing. Tsukasa Zai is not only a relative of the emperor, but also the first assistant of the court, which not only damages the face of the court, but also damages the family style of the Jin State Mansion, which is really a shame for the royal family and a shameless thing for the court. I, Da Zhou, emulate the Zhou rites and educate the people with rituals, how can such a ridiculous thing happen, which is intolerable to Tsukasa Zai. Zhu Xuanzhi said.

"Then why not punish Yu Shizi? On the contrary, the son of Ben who harmed was unlucky? Yu Wenshen asked with a little annoyance.

"At least in Tsukazai's opinion, the root cause of the prince's decision is the fight between the prince and the son, if the two princes don't fight, such an embarrassing thing won't happen."

Yu Wenshen didn't speak, don't argue? Do you want to give up this great river and mountain to that straw bale?

"There is also the history of Jingzhou Thorn, which also let the Duke of Qi go." Yuwen said dejectedly.

"The two wills are issued together, which is a warning and an admonition, and the son and the son should have a degree. Tsukazai had been delaying the appointment of the person recommended by Gongzi before, but he must have had other ideas, and he just took advantage of this incident to make some fuss and appoint the Duke of Qi. Zhu Xuanzhi analyzed.

As soon as these words came out, Yuwen was deeply shocked, because he remembered his mother Yuan's words: "Your father said that you are becoming more and more disagreeable. Zhu Xuanzhi actually analyzed his father's mind so accurately, which was really incredible, but he still asked quietly: "Could it be that my father has long liked the Duke of Qi?" ”

"If you have a plan or push the boat along the river, it doesn't matter anymore, even the position of Jingzhou Thorn History, please don't take it very seriously." Zhu Xuan who said.

"The position of Jingzhou Thorn is very important, he can be in charge of the richest state and county in the Great Zhou, not to mention ......" Yu Wenshen disagreed.

"Childe, have you ever heard that far water can't save near fire?" Taketake's asked.

"What is Yuanshui? What is a near fire? Yuwen was puzzled.

"Childe, dare to ask Tsukasa what is the spring and autumn of this year?" Zhu Xuanzhi approached Yuwen Shen and asked.

"This ......"

"At present, the strength of Gongzi and Shizi in the court can be said to be equal, but once there are any unpredictable changes, no one can control the situation according to them, at that time, things happen suddenly, even if the power of Jingzhou Thorn Shi is great, no matter how many soldiers and horses, he can't rush to help Gongzi Dingding situation, right?" Zhu Xuanzhi asked rhetorically.

"Sir, I mean to say, what is the ...... once the father is in your body There will be a battle between the prince and the prince? Yuwen Shen approached Zhu Xuanzhi, lowered his voice, and said.

"Birth, old age, sickness and death are the destiny of heaven, and no one is powerless to resist it, so they can only go along with it. Shouldn't Childe be so prepared? Zhu Xuanzhi asked another rhetorical question.

Yu Wenshen had actually thought of this for a long time, but he still thought about it for a while and asked, "May I ask Mr., how is it good?" ”

"There is no shortage of people loyal to Gongzi in the palaces of the imperial court, and there are many in the military camps, but once Chang'an changes, only the three major battalions of the Imperial Forest Army can work in a short period of time, and the four major battalions of Chang'an Gongwei Imperial Capital, among these seven battalions, those who can obey Gongzi's dispatch at critical moments, Gongzi knows it, right?"

Yu Wenshen calculated: "The Longwu Battalion is responsible for guarding the palace, and General Qin will not say anything. There are several lieutenants appointed by their fathers personally, and the Huwei camp is completely controlled by Dugu Luo, not to mention the Leopard Chong camp, all of them are his father's henchmen, although there are a few who have a good relationship, but they are really uncertain. The four battalions outside the city had two commanders and a number of lieutenants to be called, but ...... Compared with the Shizi's side, it is still inferior to Dugu Luo. ”
