Chapter 46: An Eagle and a Dog

Although he has been walking together for a long time, Xiang Qingniu still maintains a respectful attitude towards Mu Xiaoyin. Even if he had to be in the same carriage, he still chose to sit down in the farthest place from Mu Xiaowaist. Fang Xie was sure that this person was definitely not a slut who used such inferior means in exchange for Mu Xiaoxiao's idea. Because Xiang Qingniu sweats every time he sees Mu Xiaowaist, to be precise, every time he sees a woman.

Fang Xie once asked Xiang Qingniu if it was a certain woman who gave him the painful ordeal of his childhood, so that now this fat man would be afraid when he sees any woman, or is it the kind of fear from the bottom of his heart.

But Xiang Qingniu just didn't say it, and he didn't say anything about being beaten.

Therefore, after Fang Xie solved his problem of having no strength when he was hungry, he immediately pulled Fang Xie out of the carriage, ran to the front and sat down next to the big dog, and gasped for breath a few times before regaining his composure. For him, a fairy-like woman like Mu Xiaoxiao put too much pressure on him.

Xiang Qingniu found that when Fang Xie looked at the red-sleeved convoy a few hundred meters in front of him, there was some imperceptible loss in his eyes, and he knew that it was because the people on the other side of the red-sleeved move deliberately distanced him, which made Fang Xie feel a little uncomfortable.

Xiang Qingniu smiled and said, "Actually, this is also human nature, you don't need to blame them for being indifferent." ”

Fang Xie shook his head: "This world is indifferent, and I myself am a person who only cares about the snow in front of my own door and doesn't care about the frost on the tiles of others, how can I have the luxury of asking others to pull out their swords to help me when the road is in danger?" In fact, human affection is already cold, where are there so many heroes and so many chivalrous women in the story? ”

"Then you're still like this."

Xiang Qingniu sneered: "While feeling sour in my heart, I also covered up my ...... It's hypocritical. ”

Fang Xie was stunned and couldn't help but want to kick this fat man out of the carriage again. The fat man hurriedly made a gesture begging for mercy and flattered: "Actually, if you want me to say, why do you pretend to be so uncomfortable? Just catch up with them and walk with them, and you can't leave. If it were me, I'd do it anyway. ”

"There's no need to bother others."

Fang Xie sighed: "Although I am not a good person, there are some things that I still can't do after all. ”

When he said this, he suddenly thought of something, and turned his head to look at Cui Liushang, who was riding a horse and bowing his head silently. This son-in-law from a family was hit one after another, and his face was ugly. I don't know if I'm still sad because of the death of the guard, and I've been silent all day. He hadn't spoken to Fang Xie since they buried the bodies on the spot.

Fang Xie persuaded him a few words, but he was just silent.

"Brother Cui"

Fang Xie shouted, but Cui Luoshang turned his head to look at him but did not respond.

Fang Xie thought for a while and said, "There is something I can't say, but I still have to say it. I know that Brother Cui is righteous, but I still have to persuade him when it comes to life and death...... You and I are not people all the way, so you don't need to be involved in this matter. The red-sleeved convoy in front of you is protected by a master, and you can go over and find them to accompany you. Even just following their convoy on horseback is a hundred times safer than following me. ”

Cui Luoshang was slightly stunned, then shook his head.

Fang Xie continued: "Speaking of which, you and I just met in Pingshui, you really don't need to go with me. You can guess that those Assassins have a good way to come, and it would be extremely troublesome to be haunted. You have a great future, why die in vain? ”

Cui Luoshang was silent for a while, looked at Fang Xie and said seriously: "You and I are not general friends. ”

Fang Xie was angry: "No matter what kind of friendship, you don't have to stay." ”

Cui Luoshang said hoarsely: "You saved me once under the twilight mountain, that is a life-saving grace." Although Cui is not a big husband, he still understands the truth of knowing Entu. Now that you have a problem, if I turn around and flee from him, what face will I have to stand in the world? ”

He paused and continued, "And...... My retinue are dead, and it's not without me anymore...... Killing my family, even if it's just a few servants, is a blood feud for me! ”

Fang Xie was shocked in his heart, he really didn't expect Cui Luoshang to have such courage. I wanted to persuade a few more words, but I didn't know what to say.

Xiang Qingniu sighed and said, "It's a good man, but it's a pity that he's too idiotic." ”

Cui Luoshang glared at him and said, "The husband must do something if he doesn't do something." ”

The big dog thought for a moment and said, "Your father knows and will be angry. ”

Cui Luoshang was silent for a while and then shook his head and said: "He is not the only son of mine, if unfortunately I die, I will repay my father for raising me as a cow and horse in my next life." If I am lucky enough not to die, my father will probably think that I am doing the right thing. ”

Fang Xie rubbed his nose, and suddenly grabbed Xiang Qingniu's neck and asked viciously, "Do you see this kind of courage from others?" Look at your filthy virtues that are greedy for life and afraid of death! If you don't tell me where those people came from, believe it or not, I'll strip you naked right now and poke your backyard flowers open with a horsewhip?! ”

"You don't need to ask him...... I know. ”

Cui Luoshang looked at Li Xian and said solemnly; "Although I don't know how to learn, I still remember some of the secrets of the court that my father once mentioned. My father once said that the most terrifying people in this world are not those martial arts masters, but a group of disciplined assassins. As you were talking about it, it occurred to me that perhaps these Assassins were the same people my father had mentioned. ”

"Who?"

"Great Sui...... Affection. ”

……

……

Cui Liushang only knew some secrets that his father occasionally mentioned, and these secrets came from the Cui family's concubine in the palace, but her status was not high before, and she didn't know too much detail. Besides, these things can't arouse Cui Liushang's curiosity at all. It's just that when I was sad today, I suddenly remembered. But he didn't know much in the first place, and he couldn't say why.

There are very few people who know about the Great Sui Dynasty.

But obviously, Fang Xie determined that Xiang Qingniu must know very well. The old lame man over there must know it. Otherwise, he wouldn't have looked at Fang Xie with that kind of look before leaving. Nor will they utter the phrase: "They were assassins who killed assassins, scouts who killed scouts." ”

Fang Xie is a border army scout, and he can understand the power of the words scout who kills the scout.

In the end, under the coercion of Fang Xie not to give meat to eat or drink, this fat Taoist who had no discipline at all finally relented. But this bite was not in vain, he asked for all the candy stocks from Fang Jie's hands.

"Everyone knows that there is a yamen in the capital of the Great Sui Emperor who guards the imperial city to protect His Majesty the Great Sui Emperor, and is also responsible for arresting the rebellion of the imperial court. Whether it is the people of the imperial capital or the officials, they will be afraid when they hear the name of this yamen. Even the court officials above the third rank have to speak politely when they see the commander of this yamen, and even there are not a few flatterers. ”

Xiang Qingniu cleared his throat and said, "It's the Ouchi Guard." ”

Fang Xie was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but ask, "Are you saying that it was someone from the Ouchi Guard Office who ambushed and assassinated me before?" ”

Xiang Qingniu waved his hand and said: "No, no, if the inner guards all have this ability, then there are so many people in the world who want to kill His Majesty the Great Sui Emperor, how can the Great Sui Emperor still live well?" Although you can't practice, you know what is the most scarce thing in the world, right? ”

"What is it?"

"Idiot! Of course, it's a nine-rank master! ”

Xiang Qingniu said solemnly: "There are very few people in this world who can cultivate to the realm of the Nine Grades, but there are two in the Ouchi Guard. One is Luo Weiran, the commander of the Ouchi Guard, many people know that he is the personal guard of His Majesty the Emperor, it is said that the remnants of the Shang State sent many masters to prepare to set up an ambush and assassinate when the emperor visited the Jiangdu in the south, and the masters of the remnants of the Shang State poured out, but before they could do anything, they were found out, and that time Luo Weiran killed twenty-three Shang masters with his bare hands. ”

"You have always prided yourself as a master, a master, a master, a master, a master

The big dog couldn't help but ask.

Xiang Qingniu's face turned red and said slightly angrily: "Do you want to hear it?" If you want to hear it, don't interrupt! ”

He threw a piece of candy into his mouth and said as he chewed: "On the surface, the duties of the Ouchi Guard Office are very simple, only responsible for the safety of His Majesty in the Imperial City, and cooperate with the government to arrest fugitives and rebels when necessary. But actually...... The Ouchi Guard Office is not one yamen at all, but two. ”

He picked his chin proudly: "Those who know this secret are all important ministers in the Great Sui court." Although this is not something deliberately concealed, because of the other duty of the yamen, the emperor still strictly ordered those who knew to try not to spread the word. So until now, there are not many people who know about this yamen, and it just so happens to be ...... I'm one of them. ”

"A lot of important ministers don't know, why do you know?"

Fang asked.

Xiang Qingniu said: "Don't worry about this, I won't tell you if you ask." Even if you buy this news with ten thousand taels of gold, I won't sell it. ”

"Actually, the Ouchi guards are divided into two yamen, one is responsible for protecting the emperor, and the other is more mysterious, called the love yamen...... Of course, it is not a yamen who is specifically responsible for romance, but a group of crazy perverts who are specifically responsible for collecting intelligence and even assassination. The Qing Ya is supervised by Hou Wenji, the deputy commander of the Ouchi Guards, and he also has an official position called the Qing Ya Zhen Fu Envoy, of course...... He's the other nine-rank master I'm talking about. The two most special people in the officialdom of the Great Sui Imperial Capital, one is Luo Weiran, the commander of the Da Nei Guards, and the other is Hou Wenji, the envoy of the Qing Ya Suppression. ”

"These two, it can be said that one is the emperor's eagle and the other is the emperor's dog."

Xiang Qingniu paused for a moment, perhaps because the candy was too sweet and tired of his throat, and after finding saliva and pouring it in, he continued: "Qing Ya, the main duty is to secretly investigate all the people who are unfavorable to the emperor, not only the people within the Great Sui court, not only the people who oppose the imperial court in the Great Sui, but also the spies from other countries who infiltrate the Great Sui, and when necessary, they will also go out with the army to clean up the scouts of the enemy army. ”

"That's why the old lame man who doesn't know the origin but has good knowledge will say that the person in the love office is an assassin who specializes in killing assassins, and a scout who specializes in killing scouts."

Hearing this, Fang Xie couldn't help but take a deep breath: "You mean to say that I'm being targeted by someone who is in love now?" ”

"Nine times out of ten, that's the people."

Xiang Qingniu said: "The people who are in love can't tell the difference at all. Perhaps Zhang San, who sells meat in the imperial capital, Li Si, a merchant who walks the streets, and even the turtle-prince fifth in the Qinglou, and Sun Liu, the guardian of the casino, may be secret agents of the love office. How many subordinates are under the Qing Ya, only Hou Wenji and His Majesty the Emperor know, even Luo Weiran doesn't know. ”

"There is a team dedicated to assassination in the Qing Ya, not only are there many masters, but there are also some ordinary people who have been specially trained, and they are more effective than masters in killing people. Because these ordinary people are the most unguardable. ”

After showing off the secrets he knew, he said with a sigh of relief: "Now do you think that it is your great luck to meet me?" ”

"Who the hell are you?"

Fang Xie looked at Xiang Qingniu and asked seriously.

Xiang Qingniu smiled, patted his magnificent breasts that could make the girl jealous, and said proudly: "Didn't I tell you? I'm the kind of very high master, and I also have an extremely mysterious origin, with a deep background. Although I have always deliberately behaved very low-key, I still can't hide my dashing nature and cultivation that looks down on the world. ”

He thought for a moment and added, "In addition, I am really the invigilator of this year's Martial Arts Academy's admissions. ”
