Chapter 235: Antecedents and Consequences
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
When Liu Xiu heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and said softly: "Mr. Chongpeng, I think you have misunderstood, your three disciples were not invited to my mansion as guests, they are assassins, and they are imprisoned in my mansion. ”
His voice was not loud, but at the same time as Liu Xiu spoke, he heard the sound of armor coming from outside the hall. Looking at the courtyard outside, I saw hundreds of soldiers pouring out from both sides of the courtyard at once, people holding crossbow machines one by one, swords under their ribs, full of murderous aura, and staring at Chong Peng and Chen Ye in the hall without blinking.
Several burly guards in iron armor had already stood at the door of the hall, and their right hands had been raised, tightly gripping the hilt of their swords under their ribs, and glaring at Chong Peng with murderous expressions.
It can be seen that as long as Liu Xiu gives an order, these sturdy guards will draw their swords together and rush in to tear Chong Peng apart.
Chong Peng only glanced out lightly, and then he looked at Liu Xiu and asked with an indifferent expression, "General Liu, what do you mean by this?" ”
Liu Xiu said: "A few days ago, Mr. Chong Peng's disciple assassinated me, shouldn't Mr. Chong Peng give me an explanation? ”
Chong Peng narrowed his eyes, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a hint of a smile, and said, "Say? As he spoke, his figure suddenly flickered, and Chong Peng, who was originally standing in the center of the hall, flashed to the door of the hall in an incredible way.
I saw his arm flicker, a cold light suddenly appeared, and several sturdy guards standing at the door didn't even see what was going on, they felt that the ribbon around their waist was loose, and when they looked down again, the ribbon of several of them was broken.
People subconsciously looked up at Chong Peng again, and the other person had flashed back to the center of the hall, standing there straight, as if he had never moved. It's so fast! Not only is his body technique amazingly fast, but his sword is so fast that people can't see it clearly. Chong Peng's disciples, even if their strength is not up to the level of a swordsman, it is not far behind, and Chong Peng's own strength is at least a big sword
Guest-level.
Chong Peng's hand can be described as amazing.
Several guards standing at the door of the room, ashamed and angry, anxious and angry, covered the waistband of their trousers with their hands, and retreated one after another.
But then, more guards crowded to the door of the hall, and people held crossbow machines, squatting in front of them and standing in a row in the back, and the edges of the crossbow arrows were unanimously aimed at Chong Peng.
At the same time, Zhu You, Xu Xiling, and Jiu'er took a step forward in unison, blocking in front of Liu Xiu, as if facing a great enemy. Yan Guang frowned, and asked unhappily, "Mr. Chongpeng, what are you doing?" ”
Chong Peng smiled indifferently, stroked the saber under his side, and said slowly: "Didn't General Liu want an explanation, this is what I said to General Liu, although Chong Peng is not talented, it is easy to take your life." "Really?" Liu Xiu raised his eyebrows, and between speaking, his arm suddenly waved outward, only to see a flash of lightning, and no one present could see what was going on, the lightning had passed through Chong Peng's head and nailed to the wall behind him
, there was a clang.
Looking closely, it turned out that what shot out of Liu Xiu's cuffs was a crossbow arrow.
The mechanism in the sleeve, Liu Xiu is now more and more proficient, the power of the crossbow machine plus the strength of his arm, the two forces are fused together, making the speed of this arrow so fast, like lightning.
In addition, the distance between Liu Xiu and Chong Peng was too close, and Chong Peng really didn't react to Liu Xiu's sudden sleeve arrow.
He felt a hot stinging pain in his cheeks, and subconsciously raised his hand to touch it, his cheeks were not cut by the crossbow arrows, and the reason why he felt the stinging pain was completely swept by the strong wind.
Chong Peng slowly lowered his hand, and his eyes became a little inexplicable when he looked at Liu Xiu.
He really didn't expect that Liu Xiu would hide such a hand. Looking at his complexion, it is obvious that he has not recovered from serious injuries, but it is unbelievable that the sleeve arrow he threw out could be so fast. After Liu Xiu threw out an arrow, he looked at Chong Peng with a smile and said slowly: "Mr. Chong Peng's sword is indeed amazingly fast, but my sleeve arrow is not slow
It's really hard to say, Mr. Chong Peng, what do you say? ”
Chong Peng looked at Liu Xiu intently, looked at him for a while, and slowly put down his hand stroking his sword.
That's right, Liu Xiu's sleeve arrow is not slower than his own sword, or even a few points faster, even if his sword can be stabbed on Liu Xiu's body, but Liu Xiu's hidden arrow can also be nailed to himself.
However, what Chong Peng didn't know was that the reason why Liu Xiu's Pocket Arrow was so fast was not because he had mastered the use of Pocket Arrows, but because it was all due to the pocket crossbow machine hidden in his wrist.
It's just that the inside of this pocket crossbow machine can only hold one arrow, that is to say, Liu Xiu's ability is only to throw this arrow.
But for those who don't know what's going on, the deterrent power of this arrow he threw out is enough, at least at this time, he greatly deters Chong Peng, who has an arrogant attitude.
Seeing that Chong Peng was glaring at him and didn't speak, Liu Xiu smiled and asked, "Mr. Chong Peng, now, can we sit down and have a good talk?" ”
"Humph!" Chong Peng snorted, but still turned around and walked to a mat and knelt down.
But even if he sat there, his waist was straight, and the muscles up and down his body were obviously tense, giving people the feeling that he was preparing to go.
Liu Xiu asked bluntly: "Mr. Chong Peng's apprentice will come to assassinate me, I think, this should be Mr. Chong Peng's order!" Chong Peng frowned, and was about to speak, Liu Xiu continued: "Of course, I believe that this order is not from Mr. Chongpeng's original intention, after all, there is no grudge between you and me, and there is no enmity in the near future, Mr. Chong Peng really has no need to get along with me."
Now, I want to know who the person who really wants my life is. ”
"What if I won't say it?" Chong Peng stared at Liu Xiu and asked rhetorically word by word.
Liu Xiu shrugged his shoulders, looked up and smiled, and said, "If Mr. Chong Peng can't give me a satisfactory answer, I'm afraid that Mr. Chong Peng will not only not be able to take away your three apprentices today, but even Mr. Chong Peng himself will find it difficult to get out of here again." ”
Chong Peng was stunned, he couldn't help laughing, laughing and laughing, he suddenly restrained his smile, and said in a condensed voice: "General Liu, what a big breath, if you want to keep me, you have to see if you have the ability to match your tone!" ”
Without waiting for Liu Xiu to answer, Chen Ye reminded Chong Peng in a low voice: "Senior brother, we are not here to fight with General Liu and fight hard!" ”
Hearing his words, Chong Peng took a deep breath, closed his mouth, and did not speak again. Chen Ye Zhengse said: "Senior brother, in fact, I am also very curious, whose idea was it to assassinate General Liu?" ”
Chong Peng frowned slightly, lowered his head, and was silent.
Chen Ye said meaningfully: "Senior brother, in order to assassinate General Liu, we have already lost three disciples in Yiqimen, does Senior Brother still plan to put the three junior nephews of Xuying, Xufei, and Xuting into it?" Chong Peng's body was shocked, his brows furrowed even deeper, Xuying, Xufei, and Xuting are all disciples who have won his true inheritance, and they are also disciples that he attaches great importance to, in order to rescue the three of them, Chong Peng came to Liu Xiu in person, and even brought his junior brother Chen Ye, which can be seen
How much he takes it.
But he was really a little embarrassed to let him confess the senior above.
Seeing that Chong Peng was still hesitating, Chen Ye took a deep breath and asked urgently, "Senior brother, could it be that this order was given by the master and his old man?" ”
Chong Peng didn't think about it, and blurted out: "Of course not!" "Since it's not the master, what else can't the senior brother say? Ziling is right, we have no grievances in the distance and no hatred in the near future, but this time we suddenly made this poison to General Liu, something is wrong, senior brother no
Something should be hidden! Chen Ye looked at Chong Peng and said eagerly.
Chong Peng stared at it for a while, and Fang said slowly: "This assassination of General Liu was done by me and Senior Brother Chong Shun, and the two of us ...... All of them were ordered by Uncle Xuande. ”
The Xuande he said was one of the three protectors of Yiqimen.
The three protectors of Yiqimen are all the best in the Xuanzi generation, and the three are Xuanshi, Xuanbao, and Xuande.
Xuande is Chong Shun's master, and Chong Peng and Chen Ye's master is Xuanbao.
Chong Shun sent his disciples to assassinate Liu Xiu, Chen Ye could still understand, after all, it was his master's order, Chong Shun did not dare and could not disobey.
But Chong Peng was also involved, and Chen Ye couldn't understand it.
He frowned and said, "Senior brother, Master reminded us that Uncle Xuande's vulgar thoughts are too heavy, so we can avoid them, but why are you still on the pole and moving forward?" ”
Chong Peng smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle Shi found me and opened his mouth to me, how can I refuse?" ”
Yan Guang had already understood on the side, it turned out that this time it was Xuande's secret instructions. Yan Guang has also heard of Xuande, and he is not surprised that Xuande can do such a thing.
It can be said that Xuanbao's evaluation of Xuande could not be more appropriate, Xuande's vulgar thoughts are indeed very heavy, and he attaches great importance to fame and fortune. It is said that Xuande has always wanted to enter the court as an official, but unfortunately he has never found a suitable way.
Later, I don't know what kind of coincidence it was, Xuande and the national teacher Liu Xiu got acquainted, the former is a Taoist master, the latter is a master of the Weiwei family, both of them belong to the metaphysical school, it can be said that they are familiar at first sight.
Xuande's ability, Liu Xin (in order to avoid confusion, or Liu Xin's original name) admired very much, and felt that if this person could be used for himself, he would definitely be able to become a big help to himself.
And Liu Xin's identity as a national teacher, for Xuande, is undoubtedly the best springboard for him to enter the official career, the two have their own needs, each takes what they need, and naturally came together.
Since the two brothers Liu Xuan and Liu Xiu started an incident in Chungling, the proverb in "Red Fu Fu" has been hovering in Liu Xin's head all the time.
With the rapid progress of the Zhutian Capital Department in Nanyang, his concerns about Liu Xiu became more and more serious, Liu Xiu, for Liu Xin, seemed to have become a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh, making him unable to sleep and eat.
This Liu Xiu in Nanyang must die! Only when Liu Xiu dies can he sleep peacefully and eat sweetly.
He revealed his heart to Xuande, and promised Xuande that as long as he could get rid of Liu Xiu, he could personally recommend him to Wang Mang to become an official and serve as a grandmaster.
The so-called grandmaster is an official who handles the affairs of the clan, who is relatively leisurely, but very respected, and often deals with the clan, which can lay a good foundation for contacts, and the future career development will be very smooth.
Liu Xin's condition made Xuande's heart pound, and he didn't think much about it, so he was agreed to this matter.
But after all, his identity is special, he is one of the protectors of Yiqimen, he personally takes action, things will inevitably make a big fuss, and if he doesn't get it right, he will be impeached by the Taoist Association, and the gains outweigh the losses. So he thought of his apprentice Chong Shun and his nephew Chong Peng, who had always had a good relationship with him.
