"Your Majesty, why don't I let the people of the Black Dragon Guard go and investigate the details of this undercurrent?"

"Check? How to check? Relying on the clues you sniff, you can find out something. Now hold your ground, since the undercurrent has something to do with the Liu family, then they will definitely have new moves next, and then they just need to wait for the rabbit.

The undercurrent assassination organization has existed for hundreds of years, and the successive emperors of Hu have not found it. If you find the nest so easily, then they will all kill themselves. ”

King Han stopped and said with a glance.

"Then Your Majesty, this matter will not be investigated?"

"Don't check, on the surface, you have to act like no one is fine, but in this secret, you have to spread a wide range of people, and call more black dragon guards to some crowded places to listen and investigate.

By the way, Bo Yu, you have also been in the Secret Prison Mansion for many years, why haven't you made any progress in this method? ”

"The minister has lost His Majesty's sustenance to me, and the minister should die!"

The young man knelt on one leg and lowered his head.

"Get up, I don't mean to blame you, just a proper reminder."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Bo Yu slowly stood up.

"Hugh hasn't rushed back to the city yet?"

The minister has been hiding in the dark to protect himself, and watched Hu Shizi and the emperor and the army come back together, but they went to Suzaku Street first. I felt that I would not encounter any more danger, so I came to Ming Your Majesty first. ”

"On Suzaku Street? Among the dowry given by the Shi family to Shi Ling'er, there is a pharmacy named [Jishitang], which seems to be in Zhuque Street. ”

King Han raised his eyebrows and thought for a while.

"Your Majesty, nearly 100 people in Hu Shizi's emperor and army have been wounded, and several have died, he went to Suzaku Street, Hu Shizi should be there to save people."

Nearly a hundred people were injured? Why did the combat power of the Emperor and the Army decline so much? ”

King Han was suddenly taken aback, didn't he say that there were five sixth-order martial artists among the mountain bandits, and there were only a dozen fifth-order martial artists.

How could it cause so many people to be injured, after all, a group of mountain bandits composed of the second and third orders, no matter how many people there are, it will cause so many people to be injured.

"Among those bandits, the Liu family appeared out of nowhere, so there are more fourth- and fifth-order martial artists. At the cost of several deaths, it was not easy for the emperor and army to win a complete victory. ”

Even if he listened, he nodded in conviction, but his face immediately became sad again, and he whispered underestimation.

"Bitter, bitter, this Liu family and that undercurrent are not good things, bad for my big Hu foundation. Hugh stayed in Ping'an City, and there was no absolute safety.

In the spring of this year, this post of inspecting the assassin will have to be arranged earlier..."

"Bo Yu, inform me to go down, let Hu Xiu remember to come to the audience, you can go down now."

"Obey the holy decree, and the money and property collected from the mountain bandits should also be collected according to the rules of the army, and seventy percent will be collected and returned to the national treasury?"

"That money, it seems that you can collect it~ Just collect 30%, and the rest will go to Hu Xiu, let him arrange it himself."

According to the rules of the army, this collection is indeed divided into seven or three, but don't forget. The army in Hu Xiu's hands is a private army, not under the control of the Ministry of War, and there is no clear regulation on how much the private army should hand over, and the rules and regulations in it are very vague.

In fact, even if you don't pay at all, it doesn't matter, but there is too much wealth in the bandit den of thousands of people. If he really doesn't pay at all, the courtiers below will have a whisper, although they will not give him a fold above the main hall.

But the image of Hu Xiu may deteriorate, because a little insignificant money ruins Xiu'er's reputation, but it is not worth it.

"Whoa."

The boy took the order, and after a while, the man disappeared without a trace.

When Shen Shi, Hu Xiu endured the hunger in his belly, and finally bandaged all the deeply ill people, and two guards came outside at some point, informing him that he was going to the palace to meet the king of Han, and the people waited outside.

had no choice but to let the soldiers of the emperor and the army go back first, as for those gold and silver treasures, Hu Xiu didn't plan to ask for them. He just made a soy sauce in the past, and he didn't kill a single bandit, and if he really took these belongings, he would feel uneasy.

But this group of soldiers looked at each other, and Luo Chenyi also felt that it was inappropriate. He even called all the soldiers to go to King Hu's mansion, insisting on leaving things behind before leaving.

Hu Xiu couldn't get out, so he could only follow the guards to the palace first, and before leaving, he didn't forget to ask the people in the medical hall to prepare the medicinal materials for physical training first, and he would come to the medical hall tomorrow morning to get them.

In the palace, in the imperial study, on the desk of the king of Han, there was a piece of rice paper horizontally, and a small yellow door was waiting on the side, grinding ink, and when he saw Hu Xiu coming in, the king of Han waved his hand, and he went down.

"Hugh, come over and see how I write this handwriting?"

King Han blew the pen and ink that had not yet dried, and Hu Xiu also stepped forward. Fortunately, the words of this world are very similar to the Chinese characters over there, and I saw a poem on the rice paper, the book of Long Feifeng Dance:

The river and the sky are free of fiber dust, and the fish and dragon dive to the Taoist body.

Heaven and man have two kinds of righteousness, and the way is not vain, but only in people.

The final payment is - Ling Yunxian "Guan Yi Yin"

"The handwriting under the pen is like a swimming dragon, and the wonderful pen is quite rhyme, uncle, this word is very exquisite."

Hu Xiu was full of compliments, and his calligraphy was indeed worthy of this compliment.

"Subtle? I don't think so. This poem was created by Ling Yunxian when he led his army across the River Styx, and this scene was later mythologized by the local people, saying that millions of troops crossed the River Styx.

I was just lucky enough to get his calligraphy and copied it, but the artistic conception in it was less than one percent of the original post. ”

King Han looked at the verses he had written quite dissatisfied, shook his head constantly, and finally tore it in half and threw it on the ground at will.

"The original copy? Uncle, I can also observe it. ”

Left behind 600 years of calligraphy, Hu Xiu wanted to see the honor and admire, how powerful his calligraphy is.

He also practiced calligraphy, but it was very bad, and he didn't even deserve to carry shoes compared to what King Han wrote, but King Han said that the original post was a hundred times better than him, which aroused his interest.

"Are you sure?"

"Hmm."

Isn't it just a copybook?,I'm really not sure what there is.。

"Okay."

King Han turned around and pulled out a yellowed scrolled calligraphy from the high platform. Untie the long thread wrapped in it, gently roll the long scroll, and say that this is a calligraphy, it is better to say that it is a calligraphy painting.

The ink on it, after hundreds of years, is still clearly written, not a little blurred, and I don't know what good ink is used to write, and I feel itchy when I look at it.

Further down, there is a very long river, far and near, because the ink is black, so the river is also black, a long black river.

The more I looked at it, the more it felt like I was going to fall into, and it looked like a black sword had conjured up in front of me. The long sword pointed at the sky, wanting to fight in the sky, and the sky seemed to have sensed it, and it pressed down, wanting to break the long sword.

Hu Xiu's body couldn't help trembling, and he almost wanted to kneel, so he had to prop up the low desk, trying to look away, but he couldn't, and his heart was beating wildly, as if he was about to jump out.

King Han sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly put the calligraphy and painting together, Hu Xiu seemed to be relieved, and sat on the ground, panting.

That kind of coercion is very similar to the method used by the envoys of the Martial Kingdom against him last time, but it is much more powerful. One can restrain a person from moving, and the other can even suppress a person until death.

"Hugh, did you see something?"

"Huh~ a black sword, a black sword made from a big river."

Hu Xiu took a deep breath and got up from the ground.

"Black sword? Then don't you see the rhyme on the poem? ”

"The rhyme of the word?"

But he didn't see it, just looking at the words, it was true that the words written by Ling Yunxian were slightly better than those of King Han, but more than a hundred times, but it was too much, and he didn't see the rhyme at all.

"Strange, I've seen your father and a few generals who have personal friends, but I haven't seen the black sword. The calligraphy was also handed over to the juniors to read, but they could only see the rhyme on the words. ”

King Han pondered for a while, and his eyes lit up, as if he was surprised and delighted.

"Black sword, yes, Yu Jia is not a black sword! Xiu'er, the black sword you saw may be Yujia. ”

"Lingyun Immortal's Yu Jia? That number one sword? ”

"Legend has it that the sword of Yujia was made from the hardest feathers on the body of the first bird in heaven and earth.

It is the hardest and sharpest sword in heaven and earth, you can see this, maybe it is a glimpse, but since this calligraphy is so destined for Xiu'er, in a few days, I will have someone send it to you. ”

King Han said to Hu Xiu while rolling up the calligraphy and painting again, and then he didn't care about it anymore, there were many weird things, and he wouldn't catch it if he didn't meet it, right?

"Hugh, I want to reward you with a thousand taels of gold, and I have asked Xiao Huangmen to wait for you at the door. You hand over the property of the mountain bandits, you hand over three, no, two, and I will let someone get it in a few days. ”

This is only two percent, but the king of Han can falsely report three percent, after all, who can see what the total price of this paid is what? Who would dare to ask more about this emperor's false account?

"Yes."

"Okay, Xiu'er, you've been busy all day, let's go back to dinner quickly."

You know I've been busy all day, but you won't let me come down for a bite to eat? Hu Xiu has long been hungry for the food in the palace, and he has been hungry for that taste since the last banquet.

This responded again, and he walked out of the imperial study in a daze. For some reason, I suddenly felt dizzy, like I hadn't slept for days, and my eyes were fighting.

In a daze, he sat in the carriage and arrived at King Hu's mansion, and then seemed to be greedy, lay down, and closed his eyes.

In his dream, he saw the black sword again, and this time he saw it clearly, the texture on it was clearly visible, but there was always a kind of like he had seen it somewhere.

He was about to reach out to grasp the hilt of the sword, but it suddenly stabbed into his heart uncontrollably, and there was a sharp pain in his chest, and blood flowed down the black sword...

"Ah~"

Hu Xiu sat up from the bed suddenly, looked around, there was light in the darkness, and there was a candle light on the side, and he subconsciously touched his chest. Whew~ Fortunately, I wasn't stabbed, it was just a dream just now, and I kept repeating this sentence in my heart.

"Xianggong (Shizi), what's wrong with you?"

Shi Ling'er and her maid on the bed were awakened by this action.

"It's nothing, it's just a nightmare."

Being stimulated like this, he didn't feel sleepy, got up from the bed, looked at the two women who were still looking at him, and motioned for them to sleep first.

But he walked to the side of the wardrobe, opened it and took out a sword box, he had three swords, one was a jade sword, and the other was the sword box of Qingluan, one of the top ten famous swords. The last one was the black sword, a black sword as black as a burning stick.
