Chapter 16: Blood Pact
"The two of you have been dormant in the capital for more than ten years, do you know that besides you, there are any martial arts people hiding?" Feng Wuxian didn't pay attention to Brother Lang's anxious face, but asked to himself.
"I haven't heard of this, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how dare ordinary high-rollers set foot easily, even if they can call the wind and rain on their own territory, they can't help but say a word from the dignitaries." Cui Niang said disdainfully, "It's not that I'm boasting, just with their few vulgar tricks, how can I get mixed up in the capital?" In the capital, no face, any brilliance is empty, only by taking care of those three religions and nine streams, and paving the road on the official face, can it take root smoothly. Don't look at Brother Lang, a dead ghost, who was also a character on the road in the capital back then, how many means did he secretly use to gain a foothold. If you rely on kung fu alone, wouldn't you kill a river of blood? Most of those martial arts people know how to do it, and those who use their brains are the only ones in ten thousand, even if they follow those dignitaries, but they are also first-class fighters. ”
Brother Lang was a little confused by the prince's flickering style, and after thinking about it for a while, he came to a conclusion, Feng Wuxian didn't care about their past at all, after all, the imperial court and martial arts were two completely different concepts. In the eyes of the imperial court, the so-called powerful martial arts can undoubtedly be solved by a large army, and without much attention, my worries may be superfluous. The problem with Wind Without a Trace is just that he is worried that other princes or courtiers will have the backing of strong force and will do some covert acts at that time.
"I have also traced the assassinations mentioned by His Highness before, and none of the princes and ministers in the capital have any suspicious actions. Although the Aoki Society was handed over to Fang Yong, I was still able to mobilize a lot of people, but I really couldn't find anything, so in order to prevent anyone from suspecting, I stopped tracking this area. Brother Lang was a little frustrated, "In my opinion, the wisdom of the person behind him is far beyond imagination, maybe this person has been planning for many years, and it is far from something that people like us with a shallow foundation can easily shake." ”
Feng Wuxian couldn't help but be moved, although it was the first time he saw Brother Lang, but from Xiao Fangzi's mouth and previous news exchanges, it could be known that this person had a resolute temperament, and it was rare to be so weak, it seemed that things were more difficult than he imagined. "This matter is indeed quite difficult, and my father has also sent someone to investigate, but there has been little progress, and Brother Lang doesn't have to spend any more effort, those officials in the capital really need to pay attention. The king did not want to form gangs, but it was always good to have more means to rule them, so that they would not be counted by traitors in the future. But if they are unkind, then blame the king for his injustice. The latter sentence was full of anger, and the other people all looked at him with a look of surprise, as if they didn't believe it.
"Your Highness, if you don't mind using people from the rivers and lakes, I have a few candidates, and now whether it is Yiqing Yuan or Zuixianglou, there are too few competent people, and the people who monitor are just small roles, which are not worth the big use." Cui Niang stretched out her hand and brushed the hair on her forehead, and said confidently, "These people are all underworld masters who were driven out of the capital by me and Ah Lang one after another, and there are not a few white people who chase and kill them, and they are obedient to the two of us under the shock, if they can be placed in the capital, it is much more comfortable than them living in the suburbs." ”
"Oh?" Feng Wuxian was interested, "Since you have a good kung fu, why don't you seek a background in the powerful family?" ”
"These people are so brave and ruthless, how can they stand that kind of restraint. Besides, several princes were not in the capital, how could those ministers dare to take in these people easily. Brother Lang smiled, "But if it comes to us, it will be much more comfortable, so I still have to ask you to show me the details." ”
"Just keep it secret." Although Feng Wuxian said vaguely, it can be regarded as a tacit approval, "The means of this king can only be implemented by the two of them, and it may be difficult to have such a meeting today in the future, after all, the father and the emperor supervise the princes quite strictly." Stealing half a day of leisure, it is rare to have such a good opportunity, this king wants to have a good time with the two of them, but I don't know what to do? ”
How could the two of them not understand this kind of disguised act of showing their hearts, and they agreed in unison. Brother Lang hurriedly took out a wine jar from the inner room, laughed and said, "I didn't expect Your Highness to think the same as me and other grass people, this wine has been prepared for a long time, just waiting for you to speak." ”
He removed the mud seal casually, and motioned Cui Niang to take out three large bowls, and hugged the wine jar lightly with his hands, only to see a stream of wine arrows fall exactly in the first bowl, and there is no splash at all. After a while, the first bowl was already filled with fragrant wine, and Brother Lang concocted it in the same way, and in a blink of an eye, the three bowls were full, but not a single cent of wine was spilled, which showed its cleverness.
"Good kung fu!" Although he didn't have a little research on this kind of martial arts thing, he still couldn't help but applaud loudly, thinking that he had practiced for several years and didn't know what to use for the Nine Refining Yin and Yang Gang, Lang Gelu's hand was undoubtedly extremely exciting. He was happy to see it, but it was different, he was also a martial arts practitioner, how could he not see the hint of ridicule and challenge in Brother Lang's eyes?
Even if he had prepared in advance, he felt that he had misestimated these two idlers who were hidden in the market, although he didn't know the depth of Cui Niang, but Brother Lang's hand just now was put outside, it was definitely not something that ordinary first-class guards in the palace could deal with, and really, only those few worship-level characters could eat steadily. Of course, he was confident that he would be able to take it. Such a person was chased and killed by another person at the beginning, but you can imagine how powerful the other party is, and you must remind the master when you are empty.
Before picking up the wine, Brother Lang glanced at Feng Wuxian meaningfully, then pulled up his sleeves, conjured a dagger with his right hand, and with a slight stroke, a few drops of blood suddenly dripped into the three bowls of wine. Cui Niang also raised her wrist slightly, and cut her wrist with her sharp nails with a calm expression. Immortal's heart trembled, this kind of blood alliance will only be carried out on very formal occasions in the rivers and lakes, could it be that these two people who don't know the height of the sky want their masters to follow suit? He was about to open his mouth to stop it, but he saw Feng Wuxian give him a look back, and he could only stand aside stupidly.
Without waiting for Brother Lang and Cui Niang to speak, Feng Wuxian smiled and said: "This king has long heard that there is a habit of blood alliances in the rivers and lakes, since the two of them are so hearted, how can this king be afraid of a few drops of blood." He reached out and took the dagger from Brother Lang's hand, but he didn't dare to follow the two guards' wrists, just lightly rubbed his fingers, and a few drops of blood fell into the bowl. Xiao Fangzi was already stupid, how could he have thought that the two bosses would be so ruthless, seeing that the fingers of Feng Wuxian were already red, he hurriedly found a white handkerchief from his arms, and hurriedly helped the master bandage it, and a pair of eyes glared at Brother Lang and Cui Niang.
Feng Wuxian let Xiao Fangzi wrap the small wound with his face unchanged, threw the dagger with one hand, and then picked up a bowl. Brother Lang and Cui Niang invariably picked up another bowl, "After drinking this bowl of wine, Your Highness will be tied to the two of us who have a bad reputation, I hope you will not regret it in the future?" Brother Lang didn't seem to see the eyes that could kill people, "Do it first for respect!" Yan Bi tilted his head and poured the full bowl of wine.
Cui Niang frowned slightly, "Which one is as rude as your boys." She covered her face with the sleeves of her robe, and poured it down, and in a moment she presented an empty bowl to the others, and the amount of wine surprised the others. Even though it was the first time he had drunk like this, Feng Wuji knew that this bowl of wine had to be drunk no matter what. Despite this realization, it was only at the end of the day that he realized how different they were.
I don't know how long the wine has been stored in the best quality, and I didn't feel anything at first when I took it, but after a few sips, Feng Wuji felt that his throat was completely filled with a hot feeling, and if it wasn't for the fear of making a fool of himself, he almost wanted to spit it out. Helplessly, he boasted about Haikou in front of people, but he had to hold on, he had never drunk in the sea and poured so much liquor in one go, he couldn't help but blush, and the wine was surging, and even his steps were not very steady. When it was shaking, a breath of fresh air went up from the dantian, slowly rushing all over the internal organs, and the original mellow wine was instantly washed away very lightly, and the wind was traceless and even vaguely felt a dusty artistic conception, and I couldn't help but be surprised.
Brother Lang and Cui Niang, who were on the side, exchanged glances in surprise, and with their eyesight, they could naturally see that Feng Wuxian was running a strange exercise, and it was completely unconscious. Just smelling the faint aroma of wine emanating from his body, you can see that the bowl of spirits has been drained cleanly. The two of them peeked at the unbelievable look of the Absolute again, and they already had the answer in their hearts, daring to love this cold-faced guard didn't know that the master had "mastery", and the matter was really interesting.
Feng Wuxian opened his eyes blankly, put down the bowl in his hand, and the feeling of burning fire in his throat immediately rushed up, the clear qi just now only eliminated his drunkenness, as for the pharynx burned by the spirits, it was not so lucky, and the violent cough made him squat down in pain. Fortunately, Xiao Fangzi supported him in time, so he didn't look big, but this feeling has made him ashamed, how can there be a reason why a good man can't drink?
"Your Highness has good skills, this hundred days of drunkenness has been treasured by me for many years, and I can't imagine that His Highness, who is not addicted to alcohol, can really drink a bowl." Brother Lang smiled and praised, "I also want to congratulate Your Highness on the skill you just revealed, if you can achieve great success, I am afraid that you will be safe and worry-free without guards in the future." He quietly stabbed the dead with his words, and in passing pointed out that he knew what had just happened.
That skill? Feng Wuxian was stunned for a long time before he realized what he meant, and he was embarrassed in his heart. Listening to the words of that old cow's nose, he has practiced the Nine Refining Yin and Yang Gang for several years, but he didn't feel anything else, but he was in good health, and when he slept at every turn, he had a clear breath to protect his whole body, and nothing else had any effect, and it could only be regarded as abnormal just now. How can he tell others about this, he hurriedly dealt with the past, obviously not wanting to dwell on this issue.
