Chapter 24: Who is the Hunter?
At this time, I have leisure to look at the painting boat where it is, the decoration is very clean, the mahogany table and chair are placed with a diamond flower bronze mirror and a lacquer carved plum blossom makeup box, separated by a screen, a piano is placed horizontally, the right side is a couch, the pink curtain hangs with a yellow tassel, at first glance it looks like a beautiful boudoir, where is the charm of the prostitute of the painting boat?
Xu You hid his body behind the half-open window, and could observe the shore through the window, and said with a smile: "If you can escape under the siege of the three little grandmasters, Qingming, your reputation will soon spread all over the world, and it will become the target of many people's fear." ”
Qingming said in a deep voice: "Don't want such a reputation...... Who made the assassination, Lang Jun has a plan in his heart? ”
"Dispatch three little grandmasters at once, such a big deal is nothing more than the Prince, the Heavenly Master Dao and the Six Heavens Tripartite!" Xu You sneered: "The emperor is seriously ill, the prince will not take me as a nobody, even if the old grudge is difficult to eliminate, it should wait until the emperor dies and ascends the throne and takes power, wouldn't it be easy to kill me?" As for the Heavenly Master Dao, wearing a pair of pants with the prince, the most important thing at present is to assist the prince to succeed to the throne, and he should not be angry with me, if he provokes the emperor's disgust, it will be in vain. So only six days are the most suspicious, I have ruined their good deeds many times, and if it were me, I would have to kill them and ...... quickly."
"Yes, the piano sound...... It seems to overlap with the sound of Lu Tai's flute encountered outside Qiantang City back then......"
After being reminded by Qingming, Xu You suddenly said: "It must be Lu Tai!" He was originally Du Mingyu's subordinate, and after Du Mingyu died, he didn't know which palace he entered for six days, and maybe he would become the new god of the Seven Non-Heavenly Palaces! Lu Tai's ape flute was destroyed in the hands of the wind tiger, and his skills have increased greatly over the years, and he can actually play the gong hou and move the sad song, which is really a hero in the world that cannot be underestimated! ”
"The person who made the knife was good at escaping, if it weren't for Lang Jun's warning, I wouldn't have found any trace of him, at least it should be the identity of the Lord of the First Palace, if it is not bad, it should be the year of Luo Killing the Heavenly Palace. Two gods make a move, and the other can't be too low......"
Xu You's expression was solemn, and he said, "In other words, maybe three gods have arrived in Jinling!" He looked out the window, the moonlight was obscured by dark clouds at some point, and the weather was dull and restless.
The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings!
There was a light footstep outside the door, I didn't see how to move, Xu You and Qingming instantly arrived on both sides of the door, as fast as a ghost, stepping on the snow silently, waiting for the person to push the door in, before he could react, Qingming pointed at the back of his head, and fell down softly.
Xu You stretched out his hand to catch it, and it was soft as brocade, with a faint fragrance coming from the end of his nose, his eyebrows were like Yuandai, and his nose was red and his lips were soft and heroic, but she was a rare beauty.
Stopping her waist and hugging her, the girl's body was round and tight, full of youthful vitality, Xu You put her on the bed, and before she got up, the voices of the two came into her ears:
"Sister Hongyu, Sister Hongyu, where are the people?"
"The lower level doesn't, it must have come up here. Hehe, who knew that Liu Hongyu, who was famous in Jinling City, couldn't drink a few glasses, and every time the sisters gathered, she hid halfway......"
"Yao'er, I have to get the red jade drunk today, don't stop it! Sister, sister! ”
It turned out that she was Liu Hongyu, Xu You lowered her head and looked at the girl on the bed, her legs outlined by the uniform were slender and straight, her waist was full of hands, and the cultivation of the seventh grade gave her a temperament that was different from that of an ordinary girl, simply put, she had a chivalrous spirit on her body!
But isn't this a painting boat?
Why is Liu Hongyu here? Is it part-time?
Xu You almost laughed out loud, how rich the Liu family is, how can his own girl not be reduced to the painting boat, smelling that she still has the smell of wine, her cheeks are as red as peach blossoms, it is estimated that those high-ranking officials and nobles come to the painting boat to drink and have fun, and put aside the current atmosphere, it is similar to those girls in later generations to sing KTV.
There was no suspense, the two girls just entered the door and were hit at the same time, Xu You hugged one, thinking that the other Qingming would pick up, but he stood by, seeing that the poor girl who no one wanted was about to fall to the ground, Xu You had to stretch out his left foot to hook it, and said angrily: "Pick it up, ......"
Qingming arrogantly refused, and said, "It's dirty!" ”
Xu You rolled his eyes, gently pressed his left foot, hugged one while holding it, put it on the bed, and lay down side by side with Liu Hongyu. One of them should be Xiao Yao'er, at the market in Changganli that day, she wanted to go to Qingxi to receive the reward money by herself. Xiao Yao'er looks sweet, although her figure is not as well-proportioned as Liu Hongyu, her chest is very surging. The other is not as good as Liu Hongyu and Xiao Yao'er, and she can be regarded as a beauty with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, it seems that this group of red makeup thieves still has requirements for appearance and figure, and a proper style of the girl group in later generations.
"The Mountain Sect is in Minghai, I don't know what's going on?"
When I saw Liu Hongyu, I naturally thought of the mountain sect, when the mountain sect met a beauty out of the bath, although I didn't see anything, I was embarrassed to be chased and killed. In the past few years, with the secret support of Xu You, the Ming pirates have regrouped and trained their troops in military law, although the number is small, but the momentum is still better than in the past, and they have firmly controlled the coastal sea routes, and the people who heard it have changed.
Qingming said lightly: "I heard that the winter solstice said that the corporal of the mountain sect is virtuous, the rewards and punishments are clear, and he is quite kingly!" ”
"There are heroes in troubled times, maybe they are really kings?"
Qingming and Xu You glanced at each other and laughed at the same time. The appearance of the sharp-beaked monkey gills of the mountain sect, if he is the king and hegemon, he is really the spokesperson of the monkey crown. However, he is now rampant in the sea, with money, ships and soldiers, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the king of the sea.
"The sudden disappearance of three people will cause others to be suspicious?"
Xu You walked to the window and looked, the Vermilion Bird Gate was in the distance, and said, "It won't be long before I arrive at the Vermilion Bird Hang, just wait." The reason why the assassins didn't chase after them was, on the one hand, afraid of your combat effectiveness in such a narrow space, and on the other hand, it may be because this boat full of noblewomen made them throw rat traps. Besides, after three rounds of drinking, dizzy and dizzy, it shouldn't be so quick to find out that there are fewer people......"
As soon as the words fell, footsteps sounded outside again. Xu You rubbed his painful face and sighed helplessly. I thought about taking a hitchhiker casually, and I went ashore when I arrived at Suzaku Hang, who knew that I ran into a group of little sisters who love to drink, and it was endless, wasn't it?
was preparing to repeat the old trick, Qingming was responsible for the shot, he was responsible for hugging people, he sighed lightly, turned his head to look, two girls from the first floor of the painting boat over the railing directly through the window in, and the door was also split by a long knife, five girls rushed in in a battle formation.
Awakened faster than expected, and also knows the art of war, it's not all vases, at least one of them should be smart!
"Where is the thief, even our Ziai Army dares to provoke?"
The downwind boat that doesn't cost money is really unreliable, and he doesn't care about ridiculing the difference between the two titles of red makeup thief and Zi Aijun, Qingming popped out two iron balls, slammed out smoke, and took advantage of the fact that the whole room was out of sight, and Xu You entered the river through the window and went downstream.
With the skills of the two of them, not to mention that this group of girls can see their faces and clothes clearly, they don't even know how many enemies there are in the room.
"Smoke isn't poisonous, is it?"
"Nope! I may have diarrhea tomorrow, but it will heal itself in three days! ”
Xu You swam in the river like a fish, and almost sank when he heard this, and said angrily: "Are you making these things for fun?" ”
Qingming was silent for a while, and said: "This is an ugly slave who pestered Mr. Zu to play, and gave it to me when he left, and I had to bring it with ...... self-defense."
Xu You was completely speechless, and said, "In other words, the iron ball you shot at that assassin looked tall, is it actually useful?" ”
"Hmm!"
"Okay, I can play!"
Bai Changjue walked through the streets and alleys, like a wisp of light smoke, blending into the night of Jinling. Fang Caiqing's fight on the bank of Qingxi, he has been watching coldly, Xu You's life and death are not important, the important thing is to grasp this line and find the lair in Jinling for six days.
He chased Lan Liuxiang from Luo Xiao Mountain, and after entering the city, he lost the trace of the other party, the emperor of millions of people, it is too simple to hide a person. But Bai Chang was not in a hurry, he was sure that Lan Liuxiang would not be willing to lie dormant, once the injury was raised, he would come out sooner or later. Sure enough, tonight, I recaptured Lan Liuxiang's movements, and there were two small masters of four-grade cultivation who were with him, Bai Chang did not startle the snake, hanging far behind him, and after they failed in the ambush, they still chose Lan Liuxiang as the target of tracking.
Once raw and twice cooked, acquaintances are easy to start!
The black-clothed man who assassinated Xu You was indeed Lan Liuxiang, he was proficient in the Five Elements Escape Technique, otherwise he would not have been able to escape from Bai Changjue's hands many times, but he never thought that he would first let people see through Xingzang, and then be injured by Qingming Sword Qi in the joint siege.
Of course, his injuries have not healed, he is not in peak condition, and the knife in Qingming's hand is not ordinary, one eliminates the other, so there is this defeat, but how to make excuses for being bored, losing to a nobody, after all, he lost his face for six days.
Lan Liuxiang traveled all the way, jumping up and down, jumping up and down, and entered two houses in the middle, and then quietly came out of the secret door after staying for three moments. If it weren't for Bai Chang's pinnacle of the second grade, it would really be possible to lose this slippery swimming fish.
After going around half of the capital, Lan Liuxiang came to an inconspicuous mansion under the Zhoushan Mountain, did not stop, and went directly over the wall. Bai Changjue stood on a high place, waited for the time of the three incense sticks, determined that this should be the destination of Lan Liuxiang, and no longer hesitated at the moment, and entered the courtyard as lightly as a fallen leaf.
This house is not too big, a typical Jiangnan building, with lush trees and curved ponds, and secluded caves, revealing beautiful and delicate elegance. But the guards are extremely strict, three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, and most of the troops are dressed in civilian clothes, but the elite spirit cannot be hidden. Bai Changjue searched everywhere like a ghost, but found nothing unusual. After passing through the Jiuqu Corridor again, I came to the annex to the east, and suddenly heard a voice suppressing anger from the main hall:
"What the hell is Concubine Yang doing? Sick, sick, the rats and ants in Jinling City know that the old immortal is sick, what I want is the details, is it dead or not? If you don't die, how long will you last? ”
"The prince is angry, angry!" This person's reparation laughter was full of humility and flattery, and said: "The mother concubine has not been able to see her father for a long time, only Wen Ruquan has been consulting day and night, inquiring and going, and there are only two sentences: The Holy Communion is disobedient, and it will be healed in a few days." No one can say how far the discord has been! ”
"Humph! Let you sneak back from Xuzhou, it is to use the joints in the palace, and the result is still so useless! ”
"Yes, yes, the younger brother is useless, and the prince is punished by the ......"
It turned out to be the crown prince An Xiuming and the king of Hengyang, An Xiuyuan, who were conspiring.
An Xiuyuan's fief was in Xuzhou, and he was the right general and the assassin of Xuzhou, but he didn't expect to secretly run back to Jinling to meet the prince in private.
You can't go back to Beijing unless you have an edict, this is a felony!
Bai Chang knew that something was wrong, and was just about to leave quietly, whoosh! Three arrows appeared behind him, shot from nowhere, and they were one of the three people who assassinated Xu You tonight. He dodged and dodged, but he could no longer hide his traces, fell into the middle of the courtyard, and the arrow shot into the room through the window paper, and before he could fly away, the sound of the piano suddenly started, like a ghost asking for his life, piercing and unpleasant, Rao is a second-grade cultivator, and he was also entangled, and he was delayed for a while.
The lights in the room went out suddenly, and four people flew out from the left and right wings, all of them were the cultivation of the little grandmaster, one was a third grade, and three were five grades. Dozens of people appeared around, all holding Lei Gong crossbows, well-trained at a glance, and they all aimed at Bai Changjue in the middle of the courtyard.
It was this sound of the piano that put Bai Changjue in a desperate situation!
"It's on fire, it's on fire!"
The east and west courtyards were on fire at the same time, Bai Chang knew the plan, the goal of the six days tonight was Xu You, and the second was him, and he did not hesitate to lead to the place where the prince and the king of Hengyang had a secret meeting, and borrowed a knife to kill people, it was really three birds with one stone!
Vicious!
"The master has an order, and anyone who is admitted to the hospital will be killed!"
Ten thousand arrows are fired.
Bai Chang snorted coldly, Heavenly Master Dao and the crown prince were sitting in the same boat, but he couldn't explain it, even if he said his identity, no one would believe it, not to mention that he didn't bother to talk about it.
Boom, lightning and thunder,
Bean-sized raindrops are pouring down!
