Huang Xu gritted his teeth, and as soon as he lay down, he touched the wound again, and a stream of blood flowed down from his shoulder, staining the bedding red.

Seeing this, the butler sighed, "I'll change the futon for you." ”

Huang Xu didn't refuse, but smiled, and lowered his head miserably, "I can't complete this task given to me by the prime minister." ”

The butler just patted him lightly, turned his head and went out.

Huang Xu remembered that just now outside the city, he fixed the sword in the middle of the rock, and hit the blade of the sword fiercely, especially the wounds on the shoulder and abdomen, although it looked very serious, but they all avoided the vital point, basically there was no major problem, and after half a month of recuperation, it should be fine.

Early the next morning, the prime minister came.

He stared at Huang for a long time, "Failed so quickly?" ”

Huang Xu coughed, his face was pale, he could see the distrust in the prime minister's eyes, and he didn't know, would the prime minister believe his bitter plan? He coughed again, coughing up some blood, which he had prepared in advance, to convince the prime minister that he had suffered an internal injury.

After coughing, he wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and then said: "There are very few people who can trust the Lord of Qi Pavilion, except for the people around him, it is difficult for other people to gain his trust, even if it is me, so when I first made a move, I was discovered by him, there were few people at that time, but his two subordinates were extraordinary, and the sneak attack failed, but he was injured, Prime Minister, I am useless, can you give me another chance." ”

"I'm telling you, Qi Lichen's head must fall into your hands, understand? Otherwise, you won't be able to see your wife for the rest of your life. As he spoke, the prime minister stood up and walked towards the door.

Seeing this, the housekeeper immediately stepped forward and said, "Huang Xu has also suffered a lot of injuries, and it is difficult to complete it for a while, why don't you consider other candidates?" After all, Huang Xu was also exposed in front of Qi Lichen, and I am afraid that he will not be able to achieve the purpose expected by the prime minister. ”

The prime minister glanced back at him, "Are you willing to speak for him?" ”

Cold sweat broke out on the butler's forehead, and after a long time, he wiped his forehead and said: "Last night, my subordinates personally followed Huang Xu in, and the blood on his body stained a basin of water red, this kind of physical condition is afraid that even if he does things for the Prime Minister, I am afraid that he will be caught, in this case, it is better to let him recuperate well, Prime Minister, naturally there are other capable people and righteous people to do things for the Prime Minister." ”

"There are very few people I can design on the rivers and lakes, and there are even fewer people who can trust and grasp the handle, Huang Xu is one of them, so Qi Lichen's head must fall into his hands, and the official position cannot be given out casually, I don't want to pay the 100,000 taels of gold either, I just let him pick up the leaks, who would have thought, I don't know the severity, and I don't understand the meaning of this prime minister, what's the use of keeping you?" The prime minister said coldly.

Huang Xu reacted at this time, and it was estimated that he also wanted to take over this business by virtue of his identity as a Jianghu person, and in the end, Qi Lichen's head fell into his hands, and he didn't have to give Huang Xu the 100,000 taels of gold and the official position.

Sure enough, it was the old fox, and with a mouthful of empty words, he trapped nearly ten organizations on the rivers and lakes.

Huang Xu suddenly felt a chill on his body, and he was a little scared, and after a long time, he said: "I can do this for the prime minister." ”

"It's best to be like this, your wife has been found, and she will be taken to the Prime Minister's Mansion the day after tomorrow, and you won't see your wife until this matter is done, but if this matter is done well, I will give you a sum of money to let you and your wife fly away, this is my last mercy to you, don't take this mercy for granted." After the prime minister finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and turned to go out.

The housekeeper didn't keep up, so he had to turn around and instruct: "You take care of your injuries, and then go out to work when your injuries are healed, the prime minister is still a little patient, besides, I have been following the adults in the city and countryside in the past two days, and I haven't heard of anyone who can do it, the big guys seem to be gearing up and eager to try, but this Qingyu Pavilion is indeed the most tightly fitting place in the world, and you can't do it, and the prime minister also knows, so you don't have to worry, when the time comes, it will become who cares if you killed the head of Qi Lichen when the time comes?" The Prime Minister only said that he would give everything to the person who took the head in exchange. ”

"So that's the case, it's because I'm too stupid to understand what the prime minister means." Huang Xu coughed a few more times, "The prime minister gave me such an important task, and I will definitely complete it." ”

"It's better to be like this." After the butler finished speaking, he glanced outside, "You should prepare early." ”

Huang Xu gritted his teeth and nodded, and lay on the bed weakly, no matter what, now he finally got through the trick, if the prime minister urged him, he really didn't know what to say.

Now, his task is to bring Qi Lichen's head back with his own hands, and other than that, everything is none of his business, and this task will be much easier to complete.

Don't worry about who to choose between his own life and his wife's life, he can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

He breathed a sigh of relief, feeling lighter than he had ever felt before.

When he arrived in Fengxian Town, although he knew that there were good mountains and rivers here, Xi Muyun was still beautiful.

This is a mountain town built on the mountain, the houses are built on the hill one after another, looking antique from afar, the green houses are hidden behind the green trees, walking through the road, you can occasionally see the peach trees planted in front of the door, the green fruits, in the autumn it is also the harvest season.

If it is still spring here, then the peach blossoms scattered all over the mountains are dotted in front of this wood color, which must be even more beautiful, and the spring water flows down from the mountain, and the thin stream is long.

When the villagers who passed by saw them coming from other places, they smiled and said: "This spring water can be drunk directly, and in spring, peach blossom petals flow through the upper spring water, so the spring water here carries the fragrance of peach blossoms all year round." ”

Only a thin stream of arm thickness, like a transparent jade belt, flowed in the middle of the rock.

"There are still a lot of villages up there, and the scenery on the mountains is even better." Xi Muyun smiled and said.

Qi Lichen did not refuse, and was about to leave, but heard a familiar voice.

"Old man, have you ever seen a man and a woman, outsiders, the man is very handsome, the jade tree is in the wind, the woman is delicate and beautiful, and the two of them look right." It's the voice of Xu Zhi.

Xi Muyun immediately turned his head, lowered his voice, and quietly said to Qi Lichen: "Could he be looking for us, Jiangzhou farewell, why did they come here?" It's a little off the road from the capital, and although it doesn't affect the distance too much, they really shouldn't come to this place. ”

"This fifth prince is probably not at ease." Qi Lichen can understand Gu Jianglin, the prime minister's people are menacing, although he is in the court, but he is very familiar with many organizations in the rivers and lakes, and if the money is spent, how many people can withstand the temptation, the prime minister has been in the court for so many years, although there is no obvious corruption and perversion, but his protégés are all over the world, and there are many people who make offerings every year, so he has collected a lot of money.

Gu Jianglin probably felt that his manpower was not able to deal with it, so he followed him and wanted to escort him all the way to the capital, in fact, Qi Lichen knew everything, but he didn't need it, so he would inevitably feel a little bored.

Gu Jianglin's kindness, he didn't want to accept it, so he specially changed his way, I didn't expect them to follow again, I don't know what kind of reason he will find this time, but Qi Lichen didn't plan to see them, but pulled Xi Murong, "Let's go, let's take a boat to the other side of the river to have a look." ”
