Chapter 347: The King of Shu's Secret Guard

Especially with villagers, after seeing Liu Hu and Li Xiu among the people returning to their hometowns, there was an endless stream of people who came to the door. In fact, this is very common in the countryside, and people who have left their hometowns are rich and return to their hometowns, and the villagers naturally want to come to congratulate them. Although it is not necessary to make any friendships, it can be regarded as a kind of congratulations.

However, because he was worried that something would happen to Huang Qiong, Liu Hu's attitude towards these uninvited villagers was somewhat indifferent. In fact, it's not that Liu Hu is rich now, and he can't look down on these poor villagers. But now he is worried about Huang Qiong's safety, and he really doesn't have the energy to entertain the visiting villagers.

What's more, for Liu Hu, the more people who come, the more unsafe it is. Who can guarantee that among these villagers, no one has been bribed to assassinate Huang Qiong? In Liu Hu's view, the current period is special, and it is better to be cautious. As for some things, I'll explain them later. It's a big deal, I want to give some compensation to the villagers in the future.

On the contrary, Huang Qiong is very enthusiastic about the visiting villagers. Not only every villager who came to visit, but also served tea and entertained them. They were also given some cloth and money, and they had a good conversation with them. From this year's harvest to the preparation of winter clothes, from whether the rations in the family are enough, to asking how many people are in the family, whether the son is married, and whether the woman is married?

He even asked how many animals there were in the house, and whether there were any animals. It can be said that everything is very detailed, and the inquiry is extremely careful. After learning that there are two families of villagers, one family is going to marry a daughter a year ago, and the other family is going to marry a son a year ago. Huang Qiong also gave the two villagers two pieces of cloth, one piece of silk, and twenty pieces of money as a congratulatory gift.

You must know that in this era when silk can be used as money, these congratulatory gifts are not ordinary for an ordinary family. The two villagers who were worried about the dowry and dowry were moved to kneel and kowtow to Huang Qiong. It was only when Huang Qiong stopped him that he didn't knock his head down.

When Huang Qiong talked to these villagers, her tone was unusually kind. gives people the feeling that he is a more tyrant reader. And he is also dressed as a scholar. Judging from the appearance alone, it is impossible to see that the person who talks to a group of ragged people is actually the dignified Nine Emperors and the King of England, and the current power is the envoy of Zhengzhou.

As for this young man, who was gorgeously dressed but didn't seem to have any shelves, the villagers basically had something to say. For Huang Qiong's invitation to tomorrow night's banquet, Mo Kouzi agreed. It's just that Huang Qiong asked the current Mizhou governor about the return of land and tax cuts, but he was unanimously silent.

By the time the villagers were sent away, it was already completely dark. Behind them, looking at the backs of the departing villagers, Huang Qiong's face had long since lost the smile she had before, not only was her brows furrowed, but her face was also gloomy. The people here are very simple and speak very plainly, but Huang Qiong feels a trace of unusual taste.

It's just that Huang Qiong hasn't figured out what is wrong. A guard rushed over and reported to Huang Qiong that Yi Ying wanted to see him. Hearing the guard's report, Huang Qiong thought about it and decided to meet this woman. However, when we met, it didn't feel very suitable to see Huang Qiong in this living room. After instructing the guards to take her to the back house, Huang Qiong also turned around and returned to the bedroom of the back house.

When Yi Ying was brought into the bedroom where Huang Qiong was, Huang Qiong was sitting on a chair on the edge of the bed, holding a book and reading it with relish. For Yi Ying, who was sent in, she didn't even owe a corner of her eye, as if she hadn't seen this woman. Huang Qiong's pretense almost didn't make Yi Ying angry.

Huang Qiong in front of her didn't speak, and she suddenly had no desire to speak. Huang Qiong didn't speak, she was going to dry this woman, but Yi Ying was obviously competing with Huang Qiong. Neither of them would speak first, and for a moment there was a different kind of silence in the small bedroom.

However, after two full tea hours, seeing that Huang Qiong still didn't mean to speak, Yi Ying, who couldn't hold her breath first, said, "Are you going to deal with me like this?" Don't want me to stay with you as a concubine, this girl has no interest in competing with other women. You're either going to kill me, or you're going to let me go. ”

Hearing Yi Ying's inquiry, Huang Qiong did not take her eyes off the book in her hand, nor did she answer her immediately. It was as if I hadn't heard her question. Huang Qiong's silence once again stimulated Yi Ying. Yi Ying, who couldn't hold back her excitement, knocked out Huang Qiong's book: "If you kill almost all of my classmates, even kill me, so as to cut the grass and eradicate the roots." ”

Looking at Yi Ying, who had lost her mind a little, Huang Qiong picked up the book that was knocked to the ground, and did not get angry after throwing the dust on the book. Instead, he said in a flat tone: "Tell this king, what this king wants to know." Then the king will let you go. If you want revenge, the king will be at your disposal. If you avoid the important and light, you will stay by the king's side for the rest of your life. ”

Regarding Huang Qiong's clichΓ© answer, Yi Ying, who was indignant just now for Huang Qiong ignoring her actions. At this time, he found that he had come to talk to him, but he turned around and was about to leave after wasting his efforts in vain. It's just that as soon as she turned around, Huang Qiong's voice came from behind her: "I forgot to tell you that Princess Duan is still alive and has entered Beijing." ”

"This news, this king thinks that the right envoy should be interested. And what kind of results will be brought by Princess Duan after entering Beijing, with the wisdom of Yi You, you should figure it out. Therefore, this king advises you not to struggle uselessly, and not to expect someone to come to your rescue. Because the master behind you, now saying that he is difficult to protect, is already exalting him. ”

"If you tell the truth, this king will never embarrass you. Not only will it let you go, but it will also give you some coils. But if you don't want to talk about it yet, then stay in the British Royal Palace honestly, and leave when you figure it out. Remember, don't think about continuing to act in front of this king. Otherwise, if this king hands you over to Nanzhen Fusi, there will be no such good things by this king's side. ”

Listening to the voice coming from behind her, Yi Ying stopped. After being silent for a long time, he turned to look at Huang Qiong in front of him, and said coldly: "If I tell you those things you want to know, will you really let me go?" You smiling tiger, would you have such a good heart? Aren't you afraid that after I leave, I will find another opportunity to kill you to take revenge? ”

When looking at Yi Ying when she said this, she obviously had a look of disbelief. Huang Qiong smiled faintly and said, "What good do you say this king keeps you?" When Princess Duan enters Beijing, the master behind you will be tantamount to downfall. As the saying goes, the tree falls and the tree is scattered, and without your master, the forces he has worked so hard to manage for so many years will probably disappear. ”

"If you want to take revenge, although your martial arts are okay, they are still too bad compared to this king. Without the master behind you to support you, you alone, what is this king to be afraid of? If you talk about posture, your posture is indeed not bad. But around this king, it's not that there is no beauty that is not worse than you. Besides, as the prince of the current dynasty, this king doesn't have what kind of woman he wants. ”

"Why keep such a scheming woman as you by your side? Once the emperor knows about it, people like you will inevitably be severely reprimanded if they stay by the king's side, and it will be a big trouble at that time. This king doesn't want to hand you over to the North and South Zhenfu Division, doing that kind of thing that is not beneficial to this king, so why do you want to keep you by your side? Yi right, don't think too highly of yourself. ”

Huang Qiong's answer made Yi Ying blush. Just thinking of the situation she was in, Yi Ying gritted her teeth and said, "I can guarantee that what I tell you is the truth." But you also promise that you're going to let me go when I'm done. Also, if some of my men want to leave with me, you must not be embarrassed or hindered. ”

Yi Ying's words, Huang Qiong answered her directly: "There is no problem with this. As long as you tell the truth, this king will never break his word. However, if you continue to lie to deceive the king, or play tricks with the king and avoid the important and trivial, then don't blame the king for not counting. Now you will tell this king the truth about your origin and the matter of Concubine Shen. ”

Huang Qiong's reply made Yi Ying breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time, she let out a long sigh: "The sect I belong to is called the Broken Blade Gate. This Broken Blade Gate was originally a branch of the Kongtong faction. It's just that for some reason, there was a big conflict with the faction. In my master's previous generation, they had already become a separate sect. ”

"In the third year after the king of Shu left the palace, the head of the family was invited by the king of Shu to join the secret guard he formed. Dedicated to serving as the personal guard of the King of Shu, as well as assassinating those officials who were not bought by the King of Shu. But how can you stand by the river without getting your shoes wet? Although the Broken Blade Gate has removed a lot of thorns in the eyes of the King of Shu, its own losses over the years have also been great. ”

"Especially after the death of the head of the family, the death of several uncles, the crippled and crippled, only three generations of disciples of us remained, and we were gradually excluded among the secret guards. After the King of Shu took control of King Jing, he selected our brothers and sisters from the secret guards and took over the thirteen battalions of the Iron Guard originally created by King Jing. ”

"It is used to monitor, bribe, and even assassinate high-ranking officials and eunuchs. Gao Tianliang was mainly responsible for the male subordinates in the battalion, carrying out surveillance and assassination operations. I manage the female disciples in the camp, and I am responsible for spying on intelligence, as well as bribing and **. Being transferred to Zhengzhou Mansion seems to be reused, but in fact, I know that we have actually been squeezed out of the core. ”

"Because compared to this, to put it bluntly, it is to plant a false accusation for King Jing, and by the way, the thirteen battalions of the Iron Guard, who do things for the King of Shu, the secret guard is his core strength. Those who are in the secret guard are also his real hardcore henchmen. And this secret guard, when we first joined, did not develop much. At first, it was only in the capital, as well as Chengdu, the intended fiefdom of the King of Shu. ”

Later, as the power of the King of Shu grew, under his cultivation at any cost, this secret guard also became huge. Until this incident, the secret guard had spread all over the world. However, the focus is still on Jiangnan and central Sichuan and the southwest roads. In the northern roads, it is still mainly to spy on intelligence. ”

"It was these secret guards who made the King of Shu an ally with the four princes of Dali and the Tibetan monks. That's all I know about the secret guards. The King of Shu has always been very cautious in this regard, and has never allowed anyone to contact too many secrets at the same time. ”

"If it weren't for the fact that Dali and Tubo masters came to Zhengzhou this time, and I was in charge of the activities, I wouldn't have known about these things. All the people around the King of Shu have more control over that Lu Wentao. The rest, even those he trusts, can only control what they are responsible for. Just like how many dark lines there are in Zhengzhou, I don't know. ”

"I used to be in the secret guard, and I served as the master of the color hall. The main task of this color hall is basically the same as this camp. In terms of the difference, it is just to choose ordinary private beauties for training, which is not as demanding as the camp. After the Broken Blade Gate took refuge in the King of Shu, the King of Shu once sent people to invite famous prostitutes from the capital and Jiangnan to train some of us beautiful female disciples. ”
