Four or five figures hurried through the night, and they were hurrying towards one place from different directions. The movement was as fast as a shooting star, and it flashed like a dark streamer on the roof of the house. The men leaped across the rooftops, barely making a sound.

A moment later, someone arrived, and the first to land in the alley was a middle-aged man who looked to be about thirty years old. Dressed in a flying fish robe, with a straight knife tied to his back. He walked slowly to the deep ditch about a meter wide, squatted down and looked at it, and then frowned. After checking it for a while, he got up and walked to the end of the alley.

There, a dead body sat against the wall.

Half of his shoulder was missing, and there was a sword wound on his right chest, fatally wounded in his forehead, and a small hole that looked round had been broken. ** is still gurgling out, indicating that this person has not been dead for a long time.

There were a few soft sounds, and a few other flying fish robes that arrived also landed in the alley.

"There is only one corpse, and it is expected to be a fight between people in the martial arts. The one who died should have been the one who smashed the bluestone pavement into a deep ditch, apparently using a long stick, but his weapon was not found. ”

The flying fish robe who arrived first whispered a few words.

The people in the back scattered, carefully searching the alley for traces of the other. The residents on both sides of the alley who were awakened opened the door and came out, but they were politely persuaded to go back by the flying fish robe.

"The Ouchi Guards are investigating the case, please go back and rest, and don't interfere with official business."

The words are very polite, but the unique cold and arrogant image of the flying fish robe also has an unquestionable commanding tone. The people were in awe of the flying fish robe, and immediately retreated to their homes and did not come out again. A minute or two later, several more flying fish robes arrived. Ten minutes later, the patrol soldiers of the brigade arrived and blocked the alley, and finally arrived at the capture of Chang'an Mansion. Seeing that the flying fish robe was here, these catchers didn't dare to come forward to talk, but only assisted in the periphery.

"It should be a deep pit that was smashed out of the internal strength into a stick."

The flying fish robe who arrived first came to a conclusion, but his expression was not a little relaxed: "If you can turn your internal strength into a weapon and make such a powerful move, at least you are a strong person in the sixth grade." Not long after the sound of the fight came from the time I arrived, the blood from the wound was still flowing, but the other was gone...... can block this earth-shattering stick, and quickly evacuate after the killing, and the person who escaped is feared. ”

"The people in the martial arts in the imperial capital city have been reported, they were born in the master's family, and the weapons they use well are all recorded, which of you remembers that there is such a master of making sticks?"

He asked.

Just when everyone shook their heads, someone outside replied in a cold voice: "It has been recorded in the Yamen, and there are thirty-one people who are still in the imperial capital city with more than five grades of masters, and there are no more than three people who can turn their internal strength into a stick and make such a strong move." One who is the head of the family in Prince Yi's mansion can be ruled out. One is a martial artist who opens the door to accept apprentices in Beicheng, which can also be excluded. The other one, he arrived in the imperial capital half a month ago, and the name recorded in the record is Hengba, and he entered the city at the same time as Xiao Zhenren. ”

Hearing this, the flying fish robes present immediately bowed down and saluted.

"I've seen a thousand households!"

Among the 7,000 households of the Ouchi Guard, there is a person who is known for his ability to memorize and remember. As long as the people he has seen have seen it, he can remember it and say it at any time. The seven thousand households of the Ouchi Guard Office have their own strengths, and this thousand households who are respected as the eyes of the gods are surnamed Liu, and their name is Liu Duxiu.

Liu Duxiu walked into the alley slowly, looked carefully at the ground by the light of the torch, and then turned around and ordered: "The deputy commander makes the lord's mansion not far from here, go and please." ”

"I'm in"

The crowd outside parted, and the one-armed deputy commander Meng Wudi, who was supposed to be recuperating from his injuries at home, walked in with a gloomy face.

Everyone saluted, and Meng Wudi waved his hand and asked, "Did you find anything?" ”

Liu Duxiu stood up, walked to the deep ditch about three feet, stood and looked into the alley, and said: "The other person is standing here, and he didn't dodge at all when such a strong stick fell down." The stick intent could only reach three feet in front of this person's body and was shaken away, which was amazing. My lord...... Some people did not follow the rules and did not go to the yamen to report when they entered the imperial capital. ”

Meng Wushu snorted, and the look of fear in his eyes flashed away.

"I've been there a long time ago, and I've seen another guy who made a move."

He slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and there was a little frustration and unwillingness in his tone: "But this person is very good, and I can't catch up." ”

As soon as he said this, everyone present gasped. You must know that Meng Wu's cultivation is also on the list in the Great Inner Guard, and he is known for his light skills, and he can escape under his nose, which can be seen from the high level of cultivation of another person.

"I now suspect that the man who escaped has something to do with the case of the Ministry of War."

Meng Wudi ordered: "Bring the body back to the guards, search within a radius of thirty miles, don't alarm the people, and the team will be withdrawn before dawn." Notify all the guards of the gates and check all the men in white...... The woman also needs to be investigated, so I'll rush back now and report to the commander. ”

In fact, Meng Wudi really didn't see whether that person was a man or a woman.

"Whoa!"

Everyone leaned over to obey the order, and the flying fish robes that came one after another quickly left under the leadership of their respective groups. Meng Wudi looked at the dead corpse, and his brows furrowed more and more.

Just as he was about to rush to Ouchi's guard, a carriage suddenly stopped at the mouth of the alley. He saw the person who was driving the car beckoning to him, Meng Wudi's face changed, and he walked over quickly.

The carriage was marked with the mark of the Ouchi Guard.

When he got closer, the man who drove the car leaned over and saluted: "I have seen the deputy commander, Mr. Zhuo is waiting for you inside." ”

Meng Wushu snorted, opened the curtain and got into the carriage.

"Let's go, let's go to Qingxuguan first."

Mr. Zhuo's face in the carriage was a little unsightly, and after giving the coachman, he rubbed his eyebrows and sighed: "The commander already knows, you and I will go to Qingxuguan to see Xiao Zhenren first...... The dead person followed Xiao Zhenren into the city together, although he was not a disciple of Yiqiguan, but Xiao Zhenren's stubborn temper ...... Alas! ”

He sighed and didn't continue.

Meng Wudi also sighed, because whether it was the people in the rivers and lakes or the people in the court, they all knew that the old Taoist who was also very important in front of His Majesty was famous for protecting calves. Now it's his angry person who has an accident, who knows if the bull nose will be annoyed and scatter the Taoists who entered Beijing to hunt down the murderer.

The most worrying thing is that the red-robed great priest who had shown several miracles before entering Beijing, Crane Daoren, had a hot temper. And these cultivators have the best face, and killing their people is tantamount to slapping them in the face. That's why Zhuo Buyi shook his head and sighed, at this juncture, the imperial capital can't make any more trouble.

……

……

The burly and majestic Qilin, carrying a huge package on his back and an iron rod in his hand, stood at the door of the Red Sleeve Move until dawn. The tower-like man stood there, and the people who got up early in the morning to walk frequently looked sideways. If it weren't for the paperwork he had on him, he would have been taken away by the officers and soldiers of the night patrol and the flying fish robe of the Ouchi Guards who were searched later.

He's waiting for a stick.

Half an hour earlier, the night owl had come and told him that the stick was dead. The people from the Ouchi Guards went to Qingxuguan to ask to see Xiao Zhenren, because they were now the guards of Moning, so Xiao Zhenren notified Moningzhi as soon as possible, and Moningzhi told the iron slave and the night owl who returned to Qingxuguan.

But Kirin doesn't believe it's true.

They were separated only two hours ago, how could the stick die?

said that they would go out of the city together at dawn to find Fang Xie and Shen Tian fan them, said that they would worship as brothers when they went out of the city, said that they would find Fang Xie and accept him as a junior, and said that they would face danger together and wander the world from now on.

After talking about so many things, how can the horizontal stick be willing to die? How can he talk without words?

The old lame man with red sleeves moved a bench and sat at the door, lit the pipe given to him by Fang Xie in his hand, took a puff, and spit out a cloud of smoke. There was a wine gourd on one side of the bench, but I don't know why, looking at that majestic man, he didn't have the interest in drinking.

I don't know how long it took, but the old cripple couldn't help but sigh.

"Are you waiting for your friend?"

The old cripple asked.

Kirin didn't look back and nodded.

"He said that he came to the Red Sleeves last night first, and asked if you know where Fang Xie went. I said that I would gather here and go out of the city together. ”

"He didn't come."

The old cripple said.

"Perhaps...... It's not coming. ”

The Qilin turned around suddenly, stared at the old cripple with red eyes, and roared, "He's not dead!" ”

The old lame man shook his head slowly, and stopped talking.

At this time, the big dog and Mu Xiaoyi walked over from the other side of the street with a Shen tilt fan. Shen Tianfan sat on a wheeled car, his face still white and a little scary. That night, she was shocked by a nine-rank powerhouse in the imperial capital of the Great Sui, and it was a miracle that she could escape without dying. The three of them were detained in another courtyard of Ouchi's guard last night and were not released until dawn.

And when they were released, the three of them were very happy, because since they were able to leave, it meant that Fang Xie had succeeded. Although the three of them were not locked in the same courtyard with Fang Jie, last night Mr. Zhuo told them that Fang Xie was taken to Changchun Garden to face the saint. If Fang Xie can seize the opportunity, their case should be able to be suppressed for the time being.

But before they could laugh, Mr. Zhuo, who had returned to Ouchi's guard early in the morning, told them bad news.

The stick is dead.

The big dog looked at the burly man with trembling shoulders, and opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

Qilin looked at Shen Tianfan with red eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "He said that he owes you a life, and he can't help but pay it back...... Now he's still back. ”

Shen tilted his head down, his fingers trembling slightly.

……

……

Changchun Garden

Fang Xie stood cautiously, and even breathed carefully. Although the emperor sitting cross-legged on the earthen kang not far away was not tall, the sense of oppression from Fang Jie's heart made him a little cramped and uneasy.

He was led to Changchun Garden last night, but His Majesty did not see him when dealing with government affairs. At night he waited in a small room in the vault, and although there was a wooden bed, he did not dare to sleep. Early this morning, a eunuch came to summon him to see him, and when he was halfway down, he told him that Mu Xiaoyi and they had been put back.

In any case, this is a good sign.

Halfway through, Fang Xie planned to stuff some silver tickets to the eunuch, so he was ruthless and quietly counted out five pieces of one hundred taels in his cuffs, and took them out and stuffed them for the eunuch. The eunuch, who was called Gonggong Su, smiled and waved his hand, and said that our family doesn't have the guts, and our family has no place to spend money.

Fang Xie blushed, not knowing if people were too little or really honest.

When I entered the emperor's imperial study, my heart was beating all the time.

"Grass people, knock to see Your Majesty."

He saluted in a proper manner, hung his head and breathed slowly to calm his mood.

Even if the depths of his soul are still the thoughts of his previous life, in this world where imperial power is supreme, he must follow the rules. And the emperors I saw in my previous life were all fake emperors in TV series, but this one in front of me is a real emperor. There is a sense of novelty, but also a sense of oppression. Fang Xie really wanted to raise his head to see what the emperor looked like, whether he also had a nose and a mouth, two eyes and two legs.

"Stand Up"

The emperor put down the main pen in his hand, looked at the sundial outside the window, and said in a flat tone: "I will have to go to the court in a while, so you don't have much time." It's not that I let your friend go back first, not that I don't intend to hold you accountable for such a big sin. It's because you're here, there's no need for them to be locked up. When it's time to kill, no one can get out. ”

Fang Xie suddenly found that the emperor was so insidious.

"Before I finish drinking this cup of tea, give me a reason not to punish your nine clans."

The emperor took a sip of the teacup, representing that Fang Jie's time was a little shorter.

"If I die, Master will be very sad."

Fang Xie held back this sentence after a minute.

"Shameless"

The emperor almost sprayed the tea, glared at Fang and commented on these two words.
