The view is deserted, most of the beggars have not returned, and occasionally see a few people fleeing from the broken window hole to the woods, Li Fei Shouyu came to the apse, only to see a broken head of the heavenly master in front of him, a broken drum frame across the ground, here is full of wolves, everywhere are traces of fighting.

"I didn't return the first night last night, and when I heard that something had happened, everyone shared his things."

The beggar secretly glanced at Li Fei Shouyu, and saw that his face was gloomy, and he was not moved by his warm-up words, and his heart couldn't help but secretly complain, he just walked a yaksha last night, and today there is a Yama, I knew that I would also slip away from his mother, and I still miss what this broken Taoist temple is doing.

Li Fei Shouyu found a clean desk and sat down, and his subordinates pushed the beggar forward and shouted, "Kneel!" ”

Lifei Shouyu waved his hand and ordered his subordinates not to embarrass him, so he said coldly to him: "There are all my people around, you can say it!" Well said, I have a reward; If you don't say it well, then you're dead! ”

When the beggar saw that the people around him were all vicious, he was frightened for a while, and asked tremblingly, "What did the master ask me to say?" ”

"Let's start with this golden pill," Li Fei Shouyu took out the golden pill, held it in his hand, and said lightly: "Don't tell me you don't know this thing!" ”

The beggar smiled bitterly and said, "I have only seen this golden pill once, and I don't know much about it, so it may disappoint you." ”

"Then tell me everything you know."

"Yes! Be! ”

Thereupon. The beggar told him about the competition between Huatou and the little beggar for the golden pill early yesterday morning, and finally said: "Actually, we all know that this golden pill was obtained by Zhao Qilang and was robbed of the head. ”

Li Fei Shouyu glanced at him and asked quietly, "What about Zhao Qilang?" Where can I find him? ”

The beggar shook his head and said lightly: "I don't know, Chang'an is so big, where can't he accommodate him?" ”

"!" Li Fei Shouyu suddenly slapped the table and said angrily: "As soon as I light up the golden pill, you will run away in panic." Do you think you can hide this place from me without telling me? ”

Li Fei Shouyu stepped forward, grabbed his shirt and said coldly: "The old beggar is dead and I am worried that I can't catch the murderer, if you dare to hide it again, I will pull you to take the blame!" ”

At the same time, two sharp long swords were placed around his neck, and there was no need for verbal threats. The weapon of killing is better than everything, the beggar trembled in fright under the double impact of spirit and **, he collapsed on the ground and cried bitterly: "Actually, you are not the first group of people to inquire about the golden pill, yesterday morning, as soon as the head left, a man in white came to find it, and in the evening another group of people came to inquire about the golden pill, everyone was afraid, and they all left here overnight, and you are already the third group of people." ”

Li Fei Shouyu was not moved by his tears. Still cold as ice: "Let me ask you again, where is Zhao Qilang?" ”

"This?" The beggar saw that he couldn't hide it. had to confess in a low voice: "Last night, the gang offered a reward of 500 yuan for catching Zhao Qilang, and all the people went crazy to find him." In the morning, when it was not dawn, he came to the main hall, I got up to arrest him, but he ran away, I guessed that he would come, so I stayed in the Taoist temple to wait for him. ”

"Are you sure he'll come back?" Li Fei Shouyu's face softened slightly, and from the demeanor of his tone, it could be judged that he was not lying.

"There's something here. I don't think he'll be reconciled and will have to come back to see it. ”

Li Fei Shouyu stood up and smiled at a few of his subordinates: "Since that's the case. We'll bet on it and wait for the rabbit here. ”

.

Towards noon, the sun finally broke through the dense fog and revealed the clear blue sky in front of people's eyes, and the streets began to be filled with more pedestrians, most of them in a hurry, as if they were about to rush back to the time lost by the fog a few days ago.

Behind the hurried rhythm there is another kind of tension, countless beggars and street gangsters are probing and looking around, whenever the back of a teenager appears on the street, there will always be a large group of people roaring up, scrambling to catch him, one after another, but each teenager let them down, gradually, this urgent and tense atmosphere spread from Qinren Fang to more than a dozen surrounding Fang, more and more people devote themselves to this treasure hunt battle.

Zhao Qilang is a young beggar who picked up the golden pill late at night, he is fifteen years old, but because of his thin stature, he always gives people the impression that he is only twelve or thirteen years old, he has already noticed the rumors, someone actually used a sky-high reward of five hundred guan to arrest him, which made him unbelievable, in the past, his life was only worth dozens of dollars, and now, he actually wants five hundred guan, he really wants to turn himself in and receive the five hundred guan reward.

Zhao Qilang is a very alert teenager, more than ten years of beggar career has trained him a brilliant anti-arrest ability, at this moment, more than a dozen squares outside are catching him, but he is hiding in an evergreen forest outside the Taoist temple, lazily lying on a big tree, huge canopy and dense branches will wrap him, unless someone deliberately goes up the tree to remove the branches, no one can find him.

He had already guessed that the reason for his skyrocketing worth was the golden pill, to be exact, it should be the roll of paper, the night before yesterday, a few mysterious masked people, desperate fighting, this roll of paper may be hiding some secrets, strong curiosity and the yearning for wealth made Zhao Qilang return to the Taoist temple, he remembered that he stuffed the roll of paper in Zhang Tianshi's broken neck, it should still be there, Zhao Qilang was not in a hurry, he was waiting for the opportunity, at lunchtime, there was generally no one in the Taoist temple.

The surroundings are very quiet, most of the insects have not woken up from hibernation, only to hear the rustle of the wind blowing branches, Zhao Qilang opened the tree and looked at the sky, the sun has reached noon, and it is bright and piercing people's eyes, it's time! He slipped quietly down from the tree, creeping rapidly through a man-high pile of dead grass, with such light movement as if he were a wild cat stealing its food, and he crouched by the hole in the wall, cautiously observing the movement inside, and though there was no one in the hall, he was still very careful.

'Click! A stone was thrown into the main hall, and there was no movement for a long time, Zhao Qilang was overjoyed, he was like a gray mouse along the root of the wall, whoosh! A few steps to the back of Zhang Tianshi, climbed up the clay sculpture like a monkey, reached out to grab the broken neck, the paper scroll was still there, but at the moment when he just grabbed the paper scroll, a white shadow fluttered down from the roof, stretched out his hand and grabbed his neck like lightning.

This person is Xing Wei, although Jin Ma did not get it, but from the mouth of the jewelry store shopkeeper, he learned that Jin Ma was empty, Xing Wei's target was Zhao Qilang, in fact, he had already found Zhao Qilang hiding in the tree, but he was silent, until Zhao Qilang grabbed the paper scroll with his hand, he also found the target at the same time, and did not hesitate to shoot, but unfortunately he still underestimated this young man's actual combat experience, although Zhao Qilang does not know martial arts, but the adaptability he has practiced since childhood is not comparable to ordinary martial arts practitioners, at the same time as Xing Qilang shot, Zhao Qilang also reacted, and as soon as his hand was loosened, it was as straight as a piece of iron and stone

Go, Kankan dodged Xing Wei's fierce grasp, and then pounced on a hole in the ground.

Xing Wei grabbed the air, his heart was frightened and angry, his body was like a harrier in the air, and the left and right two flying knives shot at the same time, one shot his vest and the other shot him in the back of the neck, Zhao Qilang couldn't dodge, seeing that the flying knife was about to pierce his body, at this moment, a bowstring sounded, and two black feather arrows came first, 'Dang! While! With two sounds, he knocked away two flying knives and saved Zhao Qilang's life.

Li Fei Shouyu flashed out of the door in one step, and without waiting for Xing Wei to land, the arrow in his hand was like a bead threading, extremely fast, and the arrow took his life.

At this time, Zhao Qilang screamed, and just escaped from the hole in the wall and came back, but his foot and neck were grabbed by a man in black and dragged outward, this is the third person who appeared in the apse, taking advantage of the fight between Li Fei Shouyu and Xing Wei, he picked up a ready-made bargain.

At the moment when the man in black was about to drag Zhao Qilang out of the hole in the wall, he took out the paper scroll from his arms, threw it at Xing Wei with all his might, and shouted: "Next!" ”

The paper roll drew a parabola in the air, passing over the clay sculpture, Xing Wei was overjoyed, a turned over and raised his hand to catch the paper scroll, his toes were on the clay sculpture at the same time, and he passed through the back window and jumped out of the hall.

Zhao Qilang's ankle was almost broken by him, and he couldn't stand up after lying on the ground for a long time. Li Fei Shouyu slowly walked in front of him and said coldly: "I saved your life from his knife, but you gave him something, it is rare for a person like you to take revenge." ”

"I know!"

Zhao Qilang hatefully spat in the direction where Xing Wei disappeared, reached out and took out another paper roll from his arms, handed it to Li Fei Shouyu and said, "Here you go!" I remembered what the scroll looked like, so I prepared one in advance. This is true, the reward of 500 yuan is not old, it is a thank you for saving your life! ”

Li Fei Shouyu took the scroll of paper and looked at this extremely shrewd young man in a daze, his eyes flashed with admiration, and he squatted down. checked his ankle for him, and said softly: "If they find that the paper scroll is fake, they will definitely not let you go, why don't you go with me, I will teach you a good skill, so that you will have the opportunity to become a famous general of the Tang Dynasty in the future!" ”

Zhao Qilang glanced at him, and replied very reluctantly: "Flower for three years, race over the living immortals, that's it!" That's it! For the sake of your sincerity, I agreed to you. But I have a word first, and I only learn martial arts. You don't have to apprentice, and you have to take care of the food! ”

Li Fei Shouyu's heart is angry and funny. Gently slapped his scalp, "If you want to be my apprentice, you are not qualified enough!" ”

After that, he laughed, stood up and waved to his subordinates, one of his subordinates came up, picked up Zhao Qilang and quickly left the Taoist temple with him.

.

"Idiot!"

Li Cong slapped the table fiercely, pointed at Xing Wei and scolded: "The number one killer in Jiangnan." was toyed with by a little beggar and grabbed a piece of white paper and came back to give it a deal. If you still want to receive the reward, you go and die! I can't afford to raise a master like you. ”

Xing Wei stood in the courtyard with his head down, being toyed with and humiliating to devour his self-esteem, his fists were clenched with a rattling sound, his face was white and red, when he listened to King Qing's last words, his eyes suddenly shot a vicious light, arched his hand to King Qing, turned around and jumped on the wall, but raised his hand to stick a flying knife on the pillar next to Li Cong, and finally threw down a cruel sentence: "Take this knife as proof!" All that is owed to me, I will one day double claim back! ”

Li Cong was startled by his flying knife, sweat flowed down his forehead, looked at his back and scolded viciously: "Bastard, you dare to threaten this king!" I'm really impatient. ”

"Your Highness, why bother with such a puppet." His Wang Junshi slowly walked out of the room with a goose feather fan, looked at the flying knife, and snorted: "There are brave and unscrupulous people, don't use it!" ”

He turned back to Li Cong and said, "If I'm not mistaken, that person with superb archery skills should be Li Qing's chief guard, Lifei Shouyu." ”

Li Cong gasped, "Did that bastard interfere too?" "Three years ago, Li Qing left him too deep a wound that he will never forget in his life.

"It's not just Li Qing, I suspect that Li Linfu and even the emperor have also intervened." Wang Junshi smiled faintly and said, "Your Highness, it's better to talk in our house." ”

When the two came to the secret room, Li Cong said impatiently: "Look at Mr., there must be something important to teach me, Sir, please speak directly!" ”

Wang Junshi gently shook the goose feather fan, his eyes narrowed, and he smiled schemingly: "Your Highness, do you know why the salt case was defeated by Li Qing's men three years ago?" ”

"That's naturally because my father supports him!"

Wang Junshi shook his head, and said with a slight pout: "Definitely!" The real reason for His Royal Highness's defeat three years ago was that his strength was too weak, and he was broken by Li Qing, if His Royal Highness joined forces with Li Xiangguo at that time, and took advantage of Li Qing's people in Yangzhou to make his backyard catch fire, for example, there was a royal history to impeach him for colluding with salt merchants for personal gain, and Li Xiangguo started the supervision law and sent people to Yangzhou to investigate, so what else could he Li Qing find out in the end? ”

Li Cong understood what he meant, frowned slightly, and said, "Mr. means let me form an alliance with Li Linfu!" However, he supports King Yong, and he has a grudge against Yang Guozhong, so I am afraid that they will not be able to work together. ”

Seeing that Li Cong was short-sighted, Wang Junshi secretly scolded a fool in his heart, so he explained to him: "What does Your Highness think Li Xiangguo's top priority is? He has a deep hatred with Li Heng, only by abolishing Li Heng can he protect himself, he has no way out, and His Royal Highness can only have a chance to ascend to the throne by overthrowing Li Heng, since you have the same goal, why do you have to restrain each other and let Li Qing benefit, I thought that Li Xiangguo would definitely not hang himself on a rope, and only support King Yong alone? As for Yang Guozhong, His Royal Highness lives in the house, and the two of them may not have a chance to get in touch. ”

"This.

The words of the military advisor really made Li Cong moved, although Li Linfu is no longer as single-handedly covering the sky as before, but he still holds real power, if he cooperates with him to overthrow Li Heng, and then pull him towards himself, then the chance of ascending to the throne of the Taizhi is much greater.

Seeing that he was still hesitating, Wang Junshi's eyes flashed with a vicious gaze, and he leaned close to Li Cong's ear and whispered: "If His Royal Highness ascends to the throne of Tai, and the emperor suddenly dies and returns to heaven, if he can get the support of hundreds of officials at that time, it will be a great deal!" Your Highness, think farther! ”

"Dead and uncured!" Li Cong was stunned for a long time, and slowly, his eyes lit up, and he laughed twice, and finally made up his mind, "With Mr. here, why worry about big things?" That's it, I'm going to visit Sangkook myself tonight. ”
