Chapter 21: Just because of that glance
Pei Zhi returned to Liufu and saw Liu Quan, Liu Quan was calm and relaxed at this time, where was there half a minute of mania and irritability, and said with a smile: "Xu You Xiao'er is not suspicious, right?" ”
"Hmph, the villain has a will!"
Pei Zhi said angrily: "I went to thank him for his help, but he said that he just couldn't get used to Liu Shilang, and deliberately taught you a lesson, and it had nothing to do with me." ”
He boarded the ship to visit Xu You, and his remarks to Liu Quan were that he would take the opportunity to thank Xu You, and if he could get his appreciation and blend into the shogunate, it would be of great use in the future.
This is naturally a lie, and there is another purpose behind it.
A vicious look flashed in Liu Quan's eyes, and he said, "I told you not to humiliate yourself, Xu You is arrogant, how can he put you, a wine fairy from Jingzhou, in his eyes?" However, it won't be too long, when he gradually loses his favor, and then cut off the minions that stretch out to the army, he is a clown who has no bones, and let me rub it. ”
Pei Zhi said angrily: "I look forward to the early arrival of that day." ”
Subsequently, Pei Zhi left Liufu through the side gate and took a boat along the Qinhuai River to Qiu's house. Qiu Mai had already fallen asleep, he did not bother, returned to his room and changed into a black water backing, and then from the wall in the room, he came to another room, pushed open the window, and there was a pond behind him, dived into the water, and left the Qiu Mansion from the waterway unconsciously.
In an ordinary house three alleys away from Qiu Zhai, Pei Zhi climbed ashore from the water, opened the small door on the back wall and entered, changed his clothes, and then pushed open the tunnel in the firewood room, and went down the stone steps a few feet.
The three holes of the cunning rabbit, the old tradition of six days!
"How?"
"Ghost Master's Brilliant Plan! Liu Quan was bewitched by me, persuaded Liu Ning to set up a banquet tonight, forcing Xu You to show his domineering attitude, tomorrow the court is surrounded by wolves, even if he gets the Sacred Heart again, it is estimated that the emperor will have the idea of suspicion, and he will definitely not be able to reinstate the official, let alone lead the army to destroy Shu...... Hmph, I finally repaid the hatred of Xudu Mountain! ”
The ghost master's voice was ethereal, and there was a strange smell in this claustrophobic and narrow secret room: "We have no personal enmity with Xu You, he does things for the imperial court, and he wants to oppose the imperial court for six days, with different positions, each is its master, the defeat of Xudu Mountain, the defeat is inferior to others, what kind of revenge?" Isn't that embarrassing enough? ”
Pei Zhi was submissive and didn't dare to squeak.
"You offer Xu You a plan for Yizhou, is he not interested in the slightest?"
"Yes!" Pei Zhi's heart was cold, and the ghost master seemed to have seen it with his own eyes on the boat, and said, "It's strange, Xu You doesn't seem to have any intention of cutting down Shu ...... at all."
The ghost master chuckled twice and said, "Xu You is the best at using the room, and he is also the most suspicious, he is not unintentionally cutting Shu, but he can't figure out where you came from, and his true thoughts in his heart will not be easily exposed." ”
Pei Zhi was confused, and said: "I told him that I wanted to join the general for a long time, but I had no chance to knock on the door...... This set of arguments is very reasonable, why does it arouse his suspicions? ”
"Because it is too reasonable, Xu You will be cautious instead. However, as long as he investigates carefully and does not find out that you are a person for six days, there is still a possibility of lurking around him at that time. This is the foreshadowing I laid for you, it doesn't matter if you don't use it, but once you use it, you can embed a nail in Xu You's shogunate. ”
"Yes, yes!" Pei Zhi said with admiration: "The ghost master walks one step at a time and sees a hundred steps, and his subordinates are beyond the reach of the dust." ”
"Is there a problem with Chumai over there?"
"Absolutely! I've known him for seven or eight years, and every time I drink and party, he doesn't know where I'm coming from. The house in Waguan Lane was also secretly sold to him by someone I secretly arranged for it, and those sandwich walls and secret passages were disguised in advance, and no one in the Qiu Mansion knew about it except me. If Xu You had sent someone to follow him just now, he would have been able to follow Qiu Mai, and the focus of the investigation would have been on Qiu Mai - Qiu Mai was innocent, and the more powerful the secret mansion was, the more he couldn't find anything. ”
"Hmm!" The ghost master nodded and said, "You go back, be careful on the road, from tomorrow onwards, you are still a Jingzhou wine fairy, before I wake you up, forget about six days, and don't ask anything about Xu You and the imperial court!" ”
"Understood!"
After Pei Zhi left, the ghost master looked up at the wall lamp and said in a low voice: "Don't let Xu You recover, it's just the first step......"
At the end of the noisy and lively ceremony of dividing the beauties, Cao Qing took the soldiers and sent the beauties of each family to the houses of each family, and the mountain sect divided thirty people, including the singer he rescued, returned to the mountain mansion, exhausted, and asked the guards to find a place to place these singers, and then arrange a bath.
He was still a pirate, and he didn't like to be served in private matters such as bathing, dressing, and going to the toilet, so he waited for the two little guys to get the bath tub, closed the doors and windows, went to the clothes, jumped into the bathtub and closed his eyes comfortably, and rubbed his body with a rub made of volcanic stone.
didn't wait to enjoy a moment, suddenly felt bad, just about to open his mouth to call someone, the sharp knife qi shrouded his head, and forced him back to his stomach before he spoke, in desperation, he could only luck smash the bath bucket, the water curtain skyrocketed into a wall, blocking the knife qi a block, one foot on the ground, flying a few feet in the air.
Laugh at!
The sword qi broke through the air, the water curtain split into two from the middle, and the black figure passed through, swept the distance between the two in the blink of an eye, and chased behind the mountain sect.
"Thief, die!"
The sound of the young phoenix is pleasant to the ear, but the secret way of the mountain sect is not good, the person who sneaks up on him should be the little grandmaster, and the cultivation is above him, and he doesn't even have time to see the appearance of the person, he shouted angrily, and the gebu bath towel that was not thrown away was hung on the beam, and he turned over with his strength, and skillfully turned to Gao Fei in the air, hooked his toes, his head down, raised his hands, and said: "Hehuan Datongsan!" ”
Scattered together?
Hearing the name was very improper, the assassin was obviously inexperienced, and immediately held his breath, the sword was like a weaving net, and the wielding was impenetrable.
This is the experience that makes up for the lack of skill, and the mountain sect heard that the assassin is a woman, and when dealing with women, it is easier to achieve results with tricks related to honor.
Shan Zong took the opportunity to fly diagonally to the gate, and at this time he didn't care about his bare feet, after all, face is small, and life is important, and when he escapes, he will settle the account with the assassin.
It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, a red silk suddenly attacked, wrapped around his ankles, and the almost irresistible force pulled his body back into the room.
I'm dying!
The Mountain Sect has gone through many life-and-death situations in his life, but he has not been as powerless as tonight. Originally, with his current status, there were as many as hundreds of guards, and if he had taken precautions in advance, the little master would have nothing to fear, but he was afraid that this kind of sudden attack without any warning would be impossible to prevent, and he couldn't fight and fight, and he couldn't escape and escape, and he didn't even have a chance to delay time and wait for reinforcements.
The lethality of the little grandmaster is really terrifying!
At this moment, Qingming pushed the door in, his body was as fast as a ghost, the candle dragon sword was unsheathed, a sword cut off the red silk, a sword forced back the assassin, protected the mountain sect behind him, did not look back, and said in a low voice: "Don't make a noise!" ”
When Shanzong saw Qingming, he felt at ease, and wanted to call the tribe to surround the bathroom so that the assassin would not escape, but after hearing Qingming's words, he seemed to have other ideas, so he had to dispel his thoughts and grab the robe on the truss to wrap his body, so that he was in the mood to look at the assassin.
Who knew that at a glance, it was the strange old acquaintance, who smiled bitterly: "Miss Liu, assassinating the court official, but it is a capital crime, you don't think about yourself, you also have to think about your father, it was just a little misunderstanding back then, as for the death pestering me?" ”
The assassin is naturally Liu Hongyu, and for many years, he has never forgotten the thief who watched her bath that night, but the pirate is lonely overseas, and there is no way to investigate, and Liu Quan does not take this little daughter's mind seriously.
Until the princes competed for the throne, the Ming pirates submitted to the current emperor, she began to inquire about the news in secret, and spent a lot of money to buy a captain under the command of Fengdong Mountain, this captain is the old man of the Ming pirates, and learned from him that the thief who was chased by her for fifty miles of waterway was the master of the hot Youdu Army today.
It's just that Shanzong then went west with Xu You, she didn't see anyone, she wasn't sure if it was or not, and finally waited until the end of the western expedition, but after Shanzong returned to Beijing, he lived in a simple place and couldn't see anyone easily, so he invited him to the banquet under the guise of the Liufu banquet.
After that, things were logical, the appearance and figure of the mountain sect, especially the tone when he spoke, did not change much, Liu Hongyu confirmed the target, followed back to the mansion, and happened to bump into him bathing, the scene of the year came back to his mind, and he couldn't help but stab.
"I'm pestering you? Little thief, I wanted to gouge out your eyes, but now it looks like I have to cut out your tongue! ”
Shan Zong said angrily: "The most poisonous woman's heart! I didn't see anything through the curtain that day, why did you gouge out my eyes? ”
"You dare to flamboy!"
Liu Hongyu's face turned red, and the purple wormwood knife swung out, turning into a sword light like a practice, and slashing towards the mountain sect like a withering and decaying one.
Shanzong let out a strange cry and hid behind Qingming.
Woo!
The candle dragon sword emitted a ghostly sound, like a black hole, absorbing all the brilliance, and the elusive appeared in the most unlikely position, hitting the hilt with unmistakable accuracy.
The purple wormwood knife flew out of his hand and pierced into the beam of the house aggressively, Liu Hongyu was not panicked, pinched his fingers into a sword with his bare hands, and pointed at Qingming's left shoulder.
Qingming didn't dodge or dodge, rushed head-on, seeing the middle finger on his shoulder, but his figure disappeared, and the next moment he appeared behind Liu Hongyu, and stabbed her neck with a sword.
A good Liu Hongyu, at a critical juncture, her slender waist was like a broken branch, one hand supported the ground, the other hand became a fist, blasting towards Qingming's lower abdomen, and at the same time, her feet flew back in a row, and her moves were extremely tricky.
Qingming turned sideways, and the person walked with the sword, flashing through the fleeting gap between the attacking hands and feet. Liu Hongyu hit the empty space, stood up straight again, and slowly hung a severed green silk next to her ear.
As long as Qingming's sword deviates by one inch more, it will be her throat that will be broken!
Liu Hongyu has just entered the fifth grade for two months, whether it is cultivation or experience, she is far from being Qingming's opponent, if it is a competition, now the victory and defeat have been divided, but she is unwilling, and a red silk flew out of her sleeve again, entangled in the handle of the purple wormwood knife of the beam.
The sound of Qingyue's young phoenix fills the night sky,
The sword is coming back.
The light posture and graceful footwork are mixed with the flying knife light, which makes people dizzy but can perceive the sharp edge that can distinguish life and death.
Shan Zong saw the blood and qi surging, thinking about the martial arts cultivation over the years, not only was the progress slow, but he also knew that he lacked perseverance, he was too lazy to work hard, and there was almost no possibility of breaking through the Wupin Mountain Gate.
The root of it lies in the reluctance and reluctance of the year!
Xu You once advised him to dissipate his true qi and re-practice the same Bodhi Gong as Fang Sinian, with the idea of destroying the law as the foundation, and maybe he could reach the pinnacle of martial arts in the future. But he didn't have the courage to break the boat, nor did he have the belief that Qianshan would not look back, so for more than ten years, those who had stood with him had gone far away where he couldn't see his back, and he himself was still in place.
was chased by Liu Hongyu for fifty miles, and was almost captured, but tonight he was forced into a desperate situation by Liu Hongyu, and was almost captured again, if he can become a little grandmaster, why bother Qingming to save him?
"Hey!"
Shanzong was deflated, knowing that it was easier said than done, and to this point, it was even more impossible for him to practice Bodhi Gong again, so he could only follow a path to the end.
Fortunately, the martial arts he practiced are also rare exquisite martial arts in the world, if he is willing to work hard and persevere, he may have the opportunity to enter the mountain gate of the five products to have a look.
Clang!
The purple wormwood knife was broken into two again, Qingming grabbed the flaw, rubbed his body and entered, his fingers were flying, and he hit the eight key points around Liu Hongyu's body, restrained it, and then put the sword into his arms, and even the breath did not change in the slightest, and said: "Leave it to you to dispose of!" ”
Shanzong touched his chin and walked over, Liu Hongyu stood and couldn't move, but he still glared at Shanzong viciously, without a little fear, as if to say: If you have the ability, you kill me, if you don't kill me, sooner or later I will take revenge!
"Forget it, I dived to the boat back then, although I didn't mean to, but I also offended the girl. I can treat this incident as if it didn't happen, and I can make amends. Qingming, let her go! ”
Qingming nodded, flicked his fingers, and unlocked Liu Hongyu's acupoint. Liu Hongyu knew that she couldn't teach the Mountain Sect a lesson tonight, so she didn't do it anymore, and said, "Little thief, you wait, this matter is not over!" ”
Shan Zong's face was expressionless, and he said: "From tomorrow, there will be no less than a hundred guards around me, in my opinion, this matter should be stopped!" ”
"Hmph, I don't believe it, when you bathe, when you go to the toilet, when you sleep, you can still have a hundred people around you?"
Shan Zong's mentality collapsed, and he cried with a sad face, and said, "Are you still finished?" Isn't it just to see you bathing, what's the big deal? Didn't you look at me just now? Can't get enough? Come on, come on, I'll strip naked, show you enough! “
Saying that he went to untie the leather belt, there was a vacuum in him, everyone knew it, Liu Hongyu snorted, and the jade feet suddenly fell to the ground, like a milk swallow throwing into the forest, through the window, and disappeared into the night.
The danger was temporarily lifted, Shan Zong breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and hugged Qingming, and almost kissed him excitedly, saying, "Good brother, how do you know that she is coming to assassinate, it is so timely." The general, is there someone guarding it? Yes? Okay, I'll set the wine tonight, let's not get drunk and go home. ”
Qingming tilted his head to the side, not letting the mountain sect kiss his face, and said: "When Lord Xun left Liufu, he ordered, let me follow you back to have a look, in case Liu Hongyu dares to assassinate, I will arrest her and deal with her." ”
Shan Zong let go of his hand and said with a headache: "This girl has a strong temperament, and she is estimated to make trouble when she touches it, but she has become a little grandmaster again...... Qingming, is it so easy to get to Wupinshanmen? ”
"Don't underestimate Liu Hongyu, you weren't her opponent more than ten years ago, she has no distractions over the years, specializing in martial arts, none of her natural resources are insufficient, and it is reasonable to break the five grades."
Qingming saw that Shanzong was depressed, and said with relief: "However, don't be presumptuous, I see that you are quite quick and wise when you fight her, as long as you are more ruthless and dare to fight, you may not be defeated so quickly......"
"Huh? Have you seen them all? So you're here early? Shan Zong pretended to be heartbroken and said, "Okay, everyone's life-saving friendship, you actually watched me get beaten?" ”
Qingming said with a smile: "It's what Lord Xun means, I want you to feel the gap between you and other girls, if you change your mind because of this, it's a good thing to be assassinated!" ”
Qingming decided to stay and protect the mountain sect for a few days, the mountain sect was a little uneasy, and said, "Will it affect the arrangement of the general?" ”
"It doesn't matter, Gu Yu is a second-grade person, except for the great grandmaster, there is almost no one in the world who is invincible, with him to protect him, everything is fine." Qingming said: "What's more, tomorrow's court discussion, if the Liu family doesn't know how to advance or retreat, the lord will take Liu Quan's knife." As long as he endures these few days, his days in Jinling begin to count down, and Liu Hongyu has no intention of asking you for trouble. ”
"I'm afraid it's not easy to take Liu Quan?"
"Don't forget, the letter from Liu Quan to the prince back then was still stolen out and handed over to Lord Xun......"
