Volume 1 The Wind Rises Chapter 80 Disaster Comes from the Mouth
Xi Yuanxiu didn't reply, he knew that the other party really wanted to catch him back, because the people in the mirage were very stubborn.
Lord Zhou actually really wanted to see how long Xi Yuanxiu could live, because Lord Feng's kung fu was not just about turning into a gong.
At this time, a white pigeon, who was not interested, saw a person of the same kind who was much older than himself in the sedan chair on the ground, and tried to fly over and get close.
Just when it was still thinking about how to communicate with the other party, it was directly caught by the person in the sedan chair.
After Xi Yuanxiu saw Lord Zhou catch the white dove in his hand, his hand couldn't help but clench.
The white dove seems to have been delivered by the red tide, but it doesn't.
He was afraid that Lord Zhou would see something serious.
"Lord Zhou's temper is getting worse and worse now, and he doesn't even let go of a white pigeon, do you still want to torture it?"
Master Zhou felt the tension in Xi Yuanxiu's tone, and the face under his mask seemed to be very happy.
He put the white dove on his lap and stroked the white pigeon's feathers with his right hand, and the white dove felt no affection, only fear.
Lord Zhou touched the letter on the white pigeon's body, he took it down, held it in his hand, looked at Xi Yuanxiu and said, "I'm not interested in this little thing, on the contrary, I'm more and more interested in you." ”
After speaking, Lord Zhou's hands shook with energy, and he directly unfolded the letters rolled together with one hand with internal breath.
Xi Yuanxiu lightly put his hand on the hilt of the sword, he wanted to try, to see if he could keep Lord Zhou here.
At the same time, he also looked at Liu Xiao and motioned him to inform Xu Lai.
Liu Xiao was very alert, and after seeing Xi Yuanxiu's eyes, he slowly moved his body back, and quietly slipped into the backyard while Lord Zhou was still reading the contents of the letter.
Lord Zhou didn't seem to notice the movements of the two of them, and even Xi Yuanxiu blatantly walked towards his palanquin, he didn't react.
And the official, who was still lying on the ground, couldn't help but raise his head to look at Xi Yuanxiu, who was approaching the sedan chair step by step.
"You said that this county order went to Lord Zhou by himself to do something, is it possible that he still wants to find his own guilt?"
"It is estimated that the letter contains that he has embezzled bribes, and he may want to beg for mercy himself."
"But they seem to have known each other before, and if they talk about the past, they can't tell!"
"You see that the two of them seem to be reminiscing about the old days just now, but they seem to have some deep hatred!"
At this time, the officials, seeing that Lord Zhou did not pay attention to them, so they were not as dull as just now, and everyone actually began to chat.
However, retribution soon came, and Lord Zhou held the letter in his hand, still ignoring this vaguely murderous Xi Yuanxiu.
Instead, he said to the people who were just talking: "A few adults like to talk so much, it must affect your usual work, I'll help a few!" ”
After speaking, the officials who were the first to speak were caught in front of the sedan chair by a few people who came in at some point and had a picture of a lotus mandarin duck embroidered on their bodies.
Lord Zhou looked at the four people with pale faces and frightened eyes, shook his head, and then these four people were cut off their tongues in turn.
......
......
Officials who had never seen such a scene saw four tongues falling to the ground, some retching, some covering their eyes, and some even fainting.
Everyone in the world knows that this Lord Zhou is good at lynching, but who would have thought that he would think about it all the time.
Lord Zhou looked at the four officials who were covering their mouths and were in pain, and said in a tone of pity: "If the four of you hadn't let me see your cowardice just now, maybe I would have let you go, but it's not bad after all, you can talk less and do more things in the future!" ”
After those people were dragged aside, Lord Zhou looked at Xi Yuanxiu, who was five steps away from him outside the sedan chair, and continued: "You are much stronger than a few of them, but do you think you can kill me?" ”
The four people who had their tongues cut out just now were stunned, and the officials who didn't dare to make the slightest sound were also stunned, and even Liu Xiao, who was hiding by the backyard wall and peeking, was also a little stunned.
He thought that Xi Yuanxiu was going to delay time, but he didn't expect Xi Yuanxiu to want to do something to Lord Zhou.
Xi Yuanxiu didn't answer the other party, and continued to walk forward, the soft sword was pulled out when it was still three steps away from the sedan chair, and everyone stopped at this moment.
"Then do you have any reason to kill me?"
Lord Zhou's sudden words at this time seemed to be a question that he was really afraid that the other party would kill him and deliberately delayed time.
"If you read the contents of the letter, you will naturally know why?"
Xi Yuanxiu was still one and a half steps away from Master Zhou, which was enough for him to draw his sword.
Lord Zhou laughed, looked at Xi Yuanxiu, who pointed at him, and said, "It's just a family affair with Miss Wang, and it's worth your sword against me?" ”
Xi Yuanxiu was in a trance, slowly put down the sword, his tense body relaxed suddenly, and he almost sat on the ground.
"Could it be that you are still afraid that I will ruin your marriage, or do you have something else that I don't know?"
The cold sweat behind Xi Yuanxiu ran down his back and to his waist, making him a little uncomfortable.
Just like Lord Zhou's words, it also made him uncomfortable.
"Naturally, there is nothing else, but shouldn't Lord Zhou return the letter to me?"
Xi Yuanxiu looked at the letter in the other party's hand that was a little crumpled, and asked expressionlessly.
Lord Zhou felt more and more that Xi Yuanxiu was indeed a little interesting now, and it seemed to be the same as what the man said.
"Before you send you the letter, you still divide these adults, by the way, and the four over there, and then divide these people first!"
With that, the sedan curtain was closed.
In order to get back the letter, and because of Zhou Wenbin's entrustment, Xi Yuanxiu led these adults into the second hall, and according to the different people of these people, he chose which place to serve.
Doing this around, the time flashed to noon.
Except for the four adults who had their tongues cut out, the rest of the people were eating in small wings.
For fear that if one of them does not pay attention, he will make Lord Zhou outside the lobby and in the sedan chair unhappy.
After the dozen or so officials left with a full meal and a full stomach, only that Lord Zhou was left.
Xi Yuanxiu came to the outside of the sedan chair and said to the people inside, "Can you give me the letter now?" ”
Master Zhou said softly: "It's just a letter, I've read it for you, it's just for you to come to the door as soon as possible after you return to Chang'an!" ”
Xi Yuanxiu said: "Lord Zhou, it's better to leave it to me, since it is related to my family affairs, then I must take a look at it myself!" ”
The sedan chair was suddenly lifted up and walked straight out the door.
Xi Yuan wanted to chase after him, but saw a dead pigeon thrown out of the sedan chair, as well as confetti flying in the sky.
