Looking at the big drum in the middle of the empty square in front of the palace, the little monkey couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, he was a little nervous when he was never afraid of heaven and earth. can think of Qing Fengnian and Ling Zhu'er covering him to leave, and now that the two of them are trapped in Wudesi, he doesn't know how he will be treated, he immediately straightened his chest, and felt that he was not very afraid.

Besides, when the sky falls, there is a tall man on top, Yue Qianqiu dares to bring him, what does he dare not beat the drum?

However, he had been standing for a while, but he didn't see Yue Qianqiu go up, or tell himself to go up. Finding that Yue Qianqiu had been staring at the patrolling guards in the square, he couldn't help but feel a little strange, and after thinking about it, he asked smartly: "Brother Yue Jiu, are you worried that those patrolling soldiers and horses will find us?" If that's the case, I'll just lure people away in a moment! ”

"Huh." Yue Qianqiu smiled, and then glanced at the little monkey, but he answered the question, "Do you know what the Dengwen drum is for?" ”

The little monkey used to live in a poor and remote country, although he learned a lot after arriving in Jinling, but after all, he didn't touch this kind of thing, and today this is the first time he heard this term, and he shook his head honestly at the moment.

Yue Qianqiu's reaction to him was naturally expected, and he shrugged his shoulders and said: "This Dengwen drum, according to legend, originated from the time of Yao Shun, and was used to make people directly admonish and express grievances, whether it was the Zhou Dynasty, or the later Wei and Jin dynasties, and the Sui Dynasty, all of them set up such drums, of course, the names are different, but as long as the people feel wronged, they can knock it." As for the ...... of this dynasty"

The little monkey suddenly realized when he heard this, and before Yue Qianqiu finished speaking, he slapped his hands lightly and said: "I know, this is the same reason as those drums in front of the yamen, it turns out that they are all sued!" ”

"Well, the reason is pretty much the same, they all use drums to sound grievances, but if you think about it, the drum in front of the yamen of the county government, can it be knocked casually? Without the nods of those errand officers, you're afraid you wouldn't even be able to touch the drum of the complaint, right? And if you beat the drum and sue for trivial matters, will you turn around and get dozens of boards for teasing Shangguan? ”

Seeing that the little monkey immediately showed a thoughtful expression, Yue Qianqiu said meaningfully, "So, of course, this Dengwen drum can't be beaten casually." The system of this dynasty is much stricter than that of previous dynasties, unless it is a major military event, such as the siege of the enemy army, or an important person, such as the death of the crown prince, you can't just beat the drum. ”

The little monkey was suddenly a little disappointed: "Then if I knock it, so what?" ”

"See those sergeants? It's called a drum guard, and if you want to beat the drum, they'll stop you and ask you what you're complaining about, and if it's not a big deal, they're not going to let you in, they're going to beat you out. Of course, with your and my skills, if you really want to break in and beat the drum, people can't stop it, but if you insist on going your own way to beat the drum, whether you will be guilty afterwards is not good. ”

Knowing that there were so many restrictions on beating the drum, the little monkey suddenly twisted his brows into a knot. He glanced at Snow White under him, swept the empty street left and right, and suddenly asked suspiciously: "Brother Yue Jiu, it's dark, the two of us are riding a horse and pestle here, and it can't be conspicuous anymore, why don't those drum guards care about us?" ”

"Because I'm a celebrity in front of the palace, no one thinks I'm going to beat the drum. Just like others persuaded me just now, I have a palace membership, and although I am a little pampered and arrogant when I ask to see the emperor all night, as long as I say good things and bribes, I may not be able to enter the palace. ”

Yue Qianqiu smiled at the little monkey, and then showed his little white teeth and said, "But today, I just want to go out and make a big fuss!" ”

Although the little monkey is said to be a layman in fighting and an insider, because Qing Fengnian and Ling Zhu'er were captured by Wu Desi, he can really be called a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. He rolled up his sleeves without thinking about it, and said viciously: "Brother Yue Jiu, you say, what you say today, I will do something, and I will never retreat!" ”

"I knew you were the most reliable." Yue Qianqiu nodded at the little monkey with a smile, and then said unhurriedly, "You are here to help me watch Snow White, I'll go over, remember, I don't call you, you just stay here and don't move, tell you to come over again." Besides, keep an eye on me, as long as someone suspected of Shen Zheng appears, you will immediately call a bird to warn, and then lean over, don't go to fight him! ”

When the little monkey saw that Yue Qianqiu was going to go up in person, he suddenly regretted it in his heart, but he didn't open his mouth to fight, just nodded vigorously, and then watched Yue Qianqiu jump off the horse and strode towards the direction of the drum platform. Sure enough, when Yue Qianqiu was about a dozen steps away from the drum platform, he saw several drum guards surrounding him and politely intercepted Yue Qianqiu.

Although he really wanted to go over and help, he remembered Yue Qianqiu's words, and since he didn't call him, he rode his horse and stayed where he was, clenching his fists anxiously, and he didn't even care about the sweat on his palms. Seeing that the negotiation had been going on for a while, Yue Qianqiu was still blocked there, and he unconsciously took two steps away, and then stopped again.

He was so anxious that he even learned from Yue Qianqiu, and unconsciously rubbed the horse's neck and said: "I only hope that Brother Yue Jiu will be faster, otherwise if something happens to Senior Brother Qing and Senior Sister Ling, I will ...... How can I be worthy of them! ”

Although Yue Qianqiu was also worried about Qingfengnian and Ling Zhu'er, he knew that he couldn't be in a hurry at this moment. The reason why he said at the gate of Yuefu that he was going to beat the Dengwen drum was to let out the wind to make Shen Zheng throw a rat trap. He wanted to gamble, Shen Zheng would definitely not be able to sit still after hearing the news, and the other opposing forces in the Wu De Division would also take the opportunity to fight back.

As for whether to beat the drum or not, it is secondary when making that statement, and the important thing is such a gesture!

Anyway, beating the Dengwen drum in these years is not like the Manchu Qing Dynasty who had to be exiled for 3,000 miles, and his reasons for beating the Dengwen drum are also very sufficient, some people plan to separate the monarch and the ministers and frame the prime minister! What about real knocking?

Therefore, since he planned to delay the time and wait for Shen Zheng to come over, Yue Qianqiu was also happy to have a fight with those drum guards. Seeing that there were more than a dozen guards who rushed over when they heard the movement, two seemed to be the leaders who were trying to persuade him, and the rest were curious to watch the excitement outside, when he suddenly noticed a vivid bird call, and immediately pretended to be impulsive, and shouted angrily.

"I don't like to alarm everyone at night, but I can't bear it! How do I know that Shen Zheng of Wu Desi is actually because he doesn't like me, not only does he want to pick on my thorn in everything, he wants to kill me quickly, and now those friends who are close to me are also targeted by him! Pei Xiang's house was on fire, and I don't know how many people saw that it was his brother's concubine who put it, Senior Brother Qing, they were just watching the excitement nearby, which was also worth his dispatch of a large group of people from Wudesi to shout and kill? ”

"If he politely asks someone back to talk, that's fine, but how did he do it? The archers rounded up, as if facing a great enemy, and almost shot Senior Brother Yuan of the Iron Cavalry Club to death on the spot! Who is Senior Brother Yuan? That was a meritorious person who once followed me to Beiyan, and he dared to treat it like this, obviously he wanted to vent his personal anger through this, wasn't he trying to do wrong? Get out of the way, I'm done tonight, and I'll take all the responsibility alone! ”

The two who persuaded people just now had already understood what was going on, and at this time, Yue Qianqiu shouted, and the two of them saw a small commotion when they saw the subordinates around them, where did they not understand that Yue Qianqiu was going to make a big deal out of it? Therefore, since Yue Qianqiu said that one person should do things and one person should do things, the two glanced at each other and simply gave way to the way.

And Yue Qianqiu bowed his hand to everyone, and immediately strode towards the drum platform from this road that gave way. Just as he was about to reach for the drumsticks, he heard another shrill bird's call.

said that it was too late, he copied the drumstick in his hand, and then turned his head to look in the direction of the little monkey, but saw someone riding Snow White galloping over this side, and in the farther away, more than a dozen horsemen were chasing after him, and who else was not Shen Zheng with an angry face at the head?

Looking at the black big dan of the people of Wu Desi who was hunting in the wind, and looking at Shen Zheng, who was in the lead, with an expression that was eager to swallow him, Yue Qianqiu grinned sneeringly, and then raised the drumstick and knocked it down heavily on the drum surface. Just when the dull sound of the bang suddenly sounded, Shen Zheng's wild roar had already been heard.

"Yue Qianqiu, you dare!"

"Why wouldn't I dare? Do you think I'm just scaring you? Yue Qianqiu sneered, the drumstick had fallen heavily again, and the dull sound instantly spread from the square to all directions, while knocking the drum, his mouth was not idle, "I dare to do it, I dare to do it, you dare to do it, what don't you dare to do?" As soon as I heard the drum beating, your plot was made public to the world, and when the time came, everyone would know that you were planning to overthrow Pei Xiang and want to frame my grandfather, isn't this the end you deserve? ”

The little monkey who rode over was about to dismount under the siege of a group of drum guards, but when he heard Yue Qianqiu's second half of the words, he almost didn't bare out of his eyes. It turns out that Pei Xianggong's recent series of events were framed by Wu Desi and Shen Zheng?

Not only the little monkey, but also the other people around him were in an uproar. This is big news, dare to love the fall of Pei Xiang, it turned out to be Shen Zheng, the martial arts master, who is making trouble behind his back, and now he still wants to be involved in the prime minister?

Shen Zheng was already about to blow up his lungs. He never expected that Yue Qianqiu would be so despicable and shameless, and a basin of dirty water would be splashed like this. He was so angry that he didn't care about refutation, so he flew off his horse and rushed towards Yue Qianqiu, just wanting to kill this daring kid on the spot. However, what caught him off guard was that after Yue Qianqiu accelerated his speed and knocked the drum three times in a row, he dropped the drumstick and tore his throat and shouted: "Shen Zheng, don't you want to kill people, I'll fight with you!" ”

The four words of killing and killing immediately touched the sensitive nerve of the little monkey. The thought that he had almost been shot on the spot made his eyes red, and he almost wanted to rush to help. But he only took a step forward before he was grabbed by two drum guards, and not only that, but a very soft voice came from his ears.

"The Ninth Prince did it on purpose, if you go up, it will become a siege and beating the court officials, if you don't go up, Shen Zheng wants to kill the Ninth Prince! Don't worry, there are so many of us here, if we really have something, we won't let Jiugongzi suffer! ”

Hey?

The little monkey glanced at the source of the voice with some surprise, and saw a young guard squeezing his eyes at him, he hesitated again and again, and found that Yue Qianqiu and Shen Zheng were already in a mess, and it was difficult to separate, and Shen Zheng's entourage was blocked by other drum patrol guards, and they could only be one-on-one, and his hanging heart was only slightly lowered.

Since he didn't have to worry about Yue Qianqiu in danger, he thought about it with a roll of his eyes. After taking a deep breath, the little monkey shouted with full breath: "Come on, kill someone, Wu Desi Shen Duzhi killed people in front of the palace gate!" ”

This kid finally got a god assist!

Yue Qianqiu originally planned to call while fighting, but Shen Zheng was really not easy to deal with, and he almost tried his best to withstand the attack like a mad tiger without weapons, and he really couldn't spare the effort to shout. At this time, seeing that Shen Zheng heard the voice of the little monkey, his movements were slightly sluggish, and he finally caught the gap when the pressure was relieved, and immediately laughed.

"Shen Zheng, you can't get used to me, and you even want to kill me for more than a day or two, but you have the ability to come clearly, what kind of hero is it to secretly make trouble again and again? I beat the drum, what do I bear alone, if you don't have a ghost in your heart, why stop me? Ask yourself whether you are a loyal and righteous man or a thief! ”

From the moment they just fought, Shen Zheng had already realized that he had fallen into a calculation. He was not an impulsive person, but because of the ups and downs of the sea for decades, his sensitivity to the three words of Dengwen Drum was naturally far above Yue Qianqiu.

Since he was in a hurry and there was no turning back when he started work, he could only grit his teeth and think about taking down this kid first, forcing him to admit that it was a rumor, who knew that he was splashed with a basin of dirty water by another kid, and Yue Qianqiu even intensified his frame-up.

He took a deep breath, and for a moment he was completely furious. Almost instantly, the ten fingers of his hands swelled thick and large, and the color was blue and black, as if they were the claws of the Nine Demon Gods, and they drew a fierce wind towards Yue Qianqiu. What is the future, life, and net worth...... He left it all behind, and there was only one thought left in his mind.

Kill this scourge...... Even if he would be condemned or even executed by the emperor because of this, he would kill this scourge!

Without this kid whose background is a mystery and seems to be inextricably linked to Beiyan, he is worth it even if he dies! As long as Yue Qianqiu dies, there will be much less strife in Dawu!

Yue Qianqiu naturally didn't expect Shen Zheng to suddenly go crazy, but fortunately, he had been listening to the six roads and watching in all directions, and he had been very cautious in his fight, so he noticed that something was wrong at the first time. He has never been a stubborn person, and when he found out that Shen Zheng was determined to kill, he immediately ran away, and actually played hide and seek with Shen Zheng around the drum platform.

However, seeing the figure chasing after him, his hand like an eagle's claw constantly cutting down the solid wooden bricks, he felt that while he was not hit, the evil fire in his heart burned more and more.

Taking advantage of Shen Zheng's circumambulation of the drum platform to volley, but he was avoided by a roll on the ground, he suddenly took out a bag of things from his arms and smashed them at Shen Zheng's front door.

"Eat me a slap of pepper!"

Almost the moment the thing flew over, Shen Zheng tore off the overcoat on his body without thinking, and hurriedly waved it around his side. He had long known Yue Qianqiu's childhood exploits, when a child who was not proficient in martial arts was able to bring down a Beiyan spy with endless small means, and now this kid who already knows martial arts once he uses those yin damage methods, if it is not pepper but poison powder, wouldn't it be extremely lethal?

For a moment, he didn't care about attacking, but first danced his robe to the airtight, and then quickly retreated. It not only ensures that those suspicious things are kept out, but also prevents the sneak attack of Yue Qianqiu. But at this moment, he heard a sneer.

Shen Zheng subconsciously thought that someone was sneaking up behind him, and immediately waved his burqa back, but immediately after, he saw another bag of things smashed silently in front of him, at that moment, he hurriedly stopped breathing, and even his eyes were closed, and the whole person was waiting to retreat, but his ears keenly captured Yue Qianqiu's direction and movements were also changed, and immediately the burqa moved forward, trying to disperse this suspicious thing before continuing the offensive.

But what he never expected was that Yue Qianqiu had no intention of stopping at all, and after throwing two packs of powdery objects at hand, he threw them at nothing else, but a lit fire fold. With a few crackling sounds, Shen Zheng opened his eyes a slit, only to see sparks exploding around him, and he was stunned for a while, and his attention that had been locked on Yue Qianqiu was unconsciously shifted.

And the next moment, he paid the price for this moment's distraction. Because it was just such a flash of thought, he only felt a sharp pain in his lower back, and he actually took a heavy kick, and immediately followed, Yue Qianqiu's deep voice came from his ears.

"Shen Zheng, let me tell you something, although I like to use pepper and pepper noodles and the like, but these things are too expensive after all, and I am going to enter the palace tonight, it is disrespectful to bring these things, so I carried a few packets of flour casually. Although the amount of spilling is not large, and it is not enough to create a big explosion, it is still very simple to scare you with a few small explosions. ”

If he hadn't been able to bring Mo Dao on this trip tonight, why would he have to carry two packets of flour? Slash it up, will he lose to Shen Zheng's eagle claw?
