Yu Moyuan and Zhongsun Xuewei rode out of the city, and at this time, the rain had stopped. The two men came to a small river, reined in the reins, and dismounted.

Zhongsun Xuewei asked, "Gongzi Yu, why did you say that Ling Zun had to let you marry Chang Zhangye's niece Chang Yaxiu?" ”

Yu Moyuan thought for a while and said: "At the beginning, it was Chang Zhangye who proposed to his father to marry Chang Yaxiu to me, Chang Zhangye is a don't drive in Ruizhou, and he has worked for his father for many years, and his father can't refute his face, so he agreed to this family business. If I marry someone else, my father will feel that he is untrustworthy and can't stand Chang Zhangye, so he forced me to marry Chang Yaxiu. ”

"I see, then when will you convince Ling Zun to change his mind?"

"Xue Wei, my father is sometimes too stubborn, no one can change his mind, and I don't know when I can convince him."

"That's a good thing." Zhongsun Xuewei said with a smile.

Huangfu Sui and Shangguan Huang came to Shengming Tower and entered the private room upstairs. After a while, the bartender brought wine and meat.

The two talked while drinking.

"Shangguan Huang, your marksmanship is so good, who did you learn it from?" Huangfu Sui asked.

"I have been learning marksmanship from my father since I was a child, and my father used to be a cavalry captain in Yinghui City, and he was good at using spears."

"My eldest brother has never fought a hundred rounds, and you're the first one to tie with him."

When the two were talking, they heard a commotion from downstairs, Huangfu Sui opened the window, looked down, and saw Zhongsun Yunxu swinging a sword and fighting with more than a dozen strong men, all of whom were holding steel knives, surrounding Zhongsun Yunxu in the middle.

Huangfu Sui said to Shangguan Huang: "You drink first, I'll go down and take a look." After saying that, Huang Fusui picked up the long knife and jumped down from the window.

Shangguan Huang put down the wine glass and jumped down as well.

Huangfu Sui brandished his long knife and knocked the strong men back.

"Zhongsun Gongzi, what's going on?" Huangfu Sui asked.

Zhongsun Yunxu replied: "I was shopping just now, and an evil young man took advantage of my inattention and snatched my good horse. ”

Huangfu Sui asked loudly, "Whose house slaves are you?" Call that wicked boy here! ”

As soon as the words fell, a young man in a black robe rode up to Huangfu Sui and said in a contemptuous tone, "Are you calling this son?" ”

"It's just calling you, it was you who robbed the middle grandson's horse?" Huangfu Sui asked.

"So what? The horse under the crotch of the young master is his, and you dare to hurt my house slave, you really ate the gall of a leopard! ”

Huangfu Sui's eyes widened, and said: "Don't say it's a house slave, even you and I can do it, get off the horse and get out of here, otherwise, grandpa will be welcome." ”

"Do you know who I am? My name is Lin Tancheng, and I am Yu Yuanjun's nephew, if you dare to touch a single hair of my hair, I will let my uncle cut off your head! ”

Before the words fell, Huangfu Sui dragged Lin Tancheng off the horse, and kicked him seven or eight steps away.

The house slaves hurriedly helped Lin Tancheng up, Lin Tancheng was furious and shouted: "Give it to me, kill them!" ”

The house slaves were the opponents of Huangfu Sui and Shangguan Huang, and they were all beaten down after a while. Lin Tancheng pulled out his sword and stabbed at Huangfu Sui, Huang Fusui dodged sideways, and tripped Lin Tancheng with his foot.

"You are so hateful!" After speaking, Huangfu Sui raised his knife and slashed at Lin Tancheng, but Shangguan Huang stopped him.

"Huangfu Sui, don't be impulsive, this person can't be killed." Shangguan Huang said.

Huangfu Sui put away the knife and said to Lin Tancheng: "Hurry up, the next time grandpa meets you for evil, he will take your dog's life!" ”

Lin Tancheng stood up and led the house slaves to run away.

Zhongsun Yun said, "Thank you two for your help!" ”

Huangfu Sui laughed and said, "You're welcome, Zhongsun Gongzi, I didn't expect you to use a sword, I thought you would know nothing about a fine-skinned and tender-fleshed son." ”

Lin Tancheng ran to the Thorn Mansion with his house slaves, saw Yu Shengwei, knelt down and said, "Uncle, I was beaten on the street for no reason. ”

"You must have done something bad again, someone couldn't stand it anymore, so they hit you." Yu Shengwei said.

"Uncle, you have to help me arrest the man who beat me. He's so fierce that he doesn't take you seriously at all. ”

"What's that person's name?"

"His name is Huangfu Sui, he has a long beard, and he is holding a long knife, uncle, quickly send someone to arrest him."

Yu Shengwei was impatient when he heard this, and said, "Tancheng, you stand up first, you don't have to worry about this matter." Hurry back to the city of Neon, lest your father worry about you. ”

Lin Tancheng pouted, and left with the house slave unhappy.

The doorman came in and said, "Envoy, the famous scholar of the Xuan country, Da Xi Yue, is visiting." ”

"Ask him to come in."

Da Xi is over sixty years old, his beard is white, and he is a well-known lobbyist in Xuan Country.

"I've seen the envoy below." Da Xiyue said.

"Mr. Daxi, we haven't seen each other for five years, you come to Ruizhou this time, won't you be visiting the mountains and rivers again?" Yu Shengwei asked with a smile.

"This time, I am here on the orders of the Son of Heaven of my Xuan Kingdom, and I have important matters to discuss with the envoy."

"Sir, please."

Da Xiyue stroked his beard and said, "The envoy has always wanted to get rid of the powerful ministers, but unfortunately your Ruizhou army is too small, and I am afraid it will be difficult to succeed." I, the Son of Heaven, am willing to send 100,000 troops to help the envoy crusade against Ling and fulfill the long-cherished wish in the envoy's heart. ”

"Really? Your son of heaven sent troops, I'm afraid it's not to help me crusade against Lingji, you and I know what he thinks in his heart. ”

"Envoy, what do you mean by this? I admire your loyalty and integrity, and I really want to help you. ”

Yu Shengwei sneered and said, "Do you have to let me make my words clear?" You sent troops, not to help me, but to occupy the eight counties of Ruizhou, and then destroy my Chu State. ”

Da Xiyue walked in front of Yu Shengwei, lowered his voice and said: "Envoy, now that Ling Ji is covering the sky in the Chu State, and even the Son of Heaven of your country has become an ornament, is such a Chu State still worthy of your protection?" If you help us destroy the state of Chu, he will be crowned king and worship the prime minister one day, and enjoy all the glory and wealth. ”

Yu Shengwei pulled out his sword, slowly put it on Da Xiyue's shoulder, and said, "Mr. Da Xi, I can't imagine that you can say this kind of thing, you'd better leave the Thorn Mansion quickly, you won't be able to get out later." ”

Da Xiyue flicked his sleeves and turned to leave the Thorn Mansion.

Lin Tancheng and a group of house slaves rode out of the north gate of Ruizhou City, and when they reached a jujube forest, they were stopped by a black-clothed masked man who only showed a pair of eyes and held a long knife in his hand.

Lin Tancheng scolded the masked man: "The master knows who you are, you beat the master downstairs in Shengming, and the master didn't ask you to settle the account, you sent it to the door." ”

The masked man didn't speak, he rushed up with a knife, and instantly cut down two house slaves, Lin Tancheng wanted to run, but he was also killed with a knife. The rest of the house slaves were frightened and their legs were weakened, and they fell to their knees and begged for mercy.

The masked man put away his knife and said, "Lin Tancheng has done a lot of bad things, and he is innocent of death. I will not kill you, but bring his body back. With that, the masked man left.

The house slaves carried Lin Tancheng's body back to Ni Ling City and went straight to Taishou Mansion. Ni Xuan is too guarded by Lin and is Lin Tancheng's father.

When Lin actually saw that his son was dead, he cried and grieved.

"Who killed my son?!" Lin Jingxiu was very angry.

A house slave replied: "The person who killed the son is called Huangfu Sui, and he carries a long knife with him, and he should still be in Ruizhou City." ”

Lin Jingxiu listened, and immediately took dozens of cavalry out of Nixi City and rushed to Ruizhou City.

On the second watch, Lin Jingxiu angrily walked into the Assassin's Mansion.

"Lin Taishou, what's wrong with you?" Yu Shengwei asked.

Lin Jingxiu knelt down and said, "Tan Cheng was killed. ”

"What? Who did this to you? Yu Shengwei was taken aback.

"The house slaves said that Huangfu Sui did it, and that person killed Tan Cheng outside Ruizhou City." Lin Jing said without saying anything.

Yu Moyuan was also beside him, he listened to Lin Jingxiu's words, and immediately went out of the Assassin's Mansion and rode a fast horse to Huangfu Sui's house.

"Second brother, did you kill Lin Tancheng?" Yu Moyuan asked Huangfu Sui,

Huangfu Sui said: "I beat him during the day, but I didn't kill him." How? That kid died? ”

Yu Moyuan nodded and said, "Just now Lin Tancheng's father, Lin Jingxiu, went to assassinate Shi Mansion, and he said that you killed his son. ”

"Big brother, I really didn't kill him."

"Second brother, I believe in you, I'm afraid that others won't believe you."

"Big brother, Lin Tancheng said that he is the nephew of the envoy, so he is also your cousin?"

"He is my Sanniang's maiden nephew, and he can be regarded as my cousin. Second brother, you have to leave the house, go out and hide, and come back after a while. ”

Huangfu Sui shook his head and said, "I didn't kill the person, so I don't have to go out and hide." ”

"Second brother, my father will send someone to arrest you in a while, hurry up. Now that the city gate is closed, I will take you to Zhongsun Mansion to hide first, and then you will find a way out of the city tomorrow. ”

"Big brother, I listen to you." Huangfu Sui picked up the long knife and prepared to go out.

Yu Moyuan said: "Second brother, your long knife is too conspicuous, don't take it with you." ”

Huangfu Sui put down the long knife, followed Yu Mo out of the house, and walked towards Zhongsun Mansion.

As soon as the two left, Zhang Shiwu came with a group of personal soldiers and surrounded Huangfu Sui's home.

Zhang Shiwu ordered: "Let me go in and search!" ”

The soldiers kicked open the door and saw that it was empty. A personal soldier picked up Huangfu Sui's long knife, ran to the door, and said, "Commander Zhang, the person has already run away, and only his weapon has been found." ”

"I see, let's go home."

When Yu Moyuan led Huangfu Sui to Zhongsun's Mansion, he stopped and whispered to Huangfu Sui: "Second brother, there are people following behind, you stand in the alley next to you first, and I'll go see who it is." ”

"Okay, big brother, be careful."

Yu Moyuan turned around sharply, drawing his sword as he ran, and at this moment, a black shadow sprang out and slashed at him with a long knife.
