In the afternoon, in the pavilion in the back garden of the royal mansion with lush flowers and trees, Wang Yuan, his wife Gongsun Lan and Li Xin'er sat down to drink tea. The April sun is warm and warm, shining among the flowers and trees outside the pavilion. On the grass, the big sister and Ziyun'er chased the butterflies among the flowers, and laughter and joy were sprinkled in the air.

It was a lazy spring afternoon, perfect for chatting about gossip and drinking some tea and fresh water to enjoy the spring sunshine, but the topics discussed in the pavilion were completely inconsistent with the atmosphere of this beautiful day.

Wang Yuan quickly told the news brought by Mrs. Qin Guo, and the faces of everyone who were originally chatting and laughing suddenly changed color, and the atmosphere in the pavilion immediately became frozen and cold.

Wang Yuan's voice fell, and everyone's eyes turned to Mrs. Qin Guo who was sitting gracefully on the side, and Li Xin'er blurted out, "Is this serious?" ”

Mrs. Qin Guo lightly lifted her lips and nodded slightly: "Of course it is true, this is the purpose of my coming here, and it is also the reason why I blocked the surroundings of your mansion to prevent you from leaving here, and even intercepted the news of Wang Yuan's return." I'm worried that the Eight Tigers have come to Chengdu ahead of schedule, and I'm worried that they will be unfavorable to you. ”

The goddesses were stunned, Li Xin'er gritted her teeth and said: "Old thief, my family was ruined, and now even Erlang refuses to let go after all." Let's fight them. Erlang, now that you are the deputy section of Jiannan Dao, why don't you order the whole city to search for the traces of the Eight Tigers and find them out and kill them all. ”

Wang Yuan smiled and said, "That's not possible? This matter is obviously not something that can be solved on the table. Not to mention whether Luo Xizao really came here with the Eight Tigers for me, and even if it were, since they were not openly dealing with me, I would not be able to openly deal with them. Do you want me to mobilize troops and horses to fight against the Nanya forbidden army that protects Qincha? You must know that these Eight Tigers are now the guardians of the forbidden army. If I do it openly, it will be to give someone a handle, and Wang Ji and Luo Xizao will immediately impeach me, and then they will not need to do it, and the court will directly take my life. ”

Li Xin'er frowned and said, "What should I do then?" Do you know that danger is coming, but you can't deal with them? ”

Gongsun Lan, who was silent on the side, spoke: "Twelve Niang, don't panic, Wang Yuan is right, this matter will be a secret battle, and both sides will carry it out in secret." Wang Ji and Luo Xizao will not openly do it, because this is not the capital after all, and they have no capital to do it publicly. But one thing is certain, Luo Xixiao and the Eight Tigers must have come to target Wang Yuan, there is no doubt about this at all. Moreover, the Eight Tigers are dispatched together, and this time it is inevitable. ”

Wang Yuan said: "By the way, I was about to ask you, you once said that the ten tigers around Li Linfu are all profound, Nie Jiangchuan and Tian Bin died in Beihai County, who are the remaining eight tigers?" How are they martial arts? ”

Gongsun Lan frowned and said: "Needless to say, the martial arts of the Ten Tigers of Xiangguo Mansion, we have also seen the skills of Nie Jiangchuan and Tian Bin, and it is not easy to kill Nie Jiangchuan alone, not to mention the gathering of the Eight Tigers." After the deaths of Nie Jiangchuan and Tian Bin, the remaining Eight Tigers threatened to avenge them. This time I am not only ordered to deal with you, but also to understand personal grievances. Among the remaining Eight Tigers, there are three of them with the top martial arts, and their martial arts skills are probably not below me. The other five are not ordinary people, so if the news is true, I am afraid it will be a very tricky thing this time. ”

Li Xin'er has been lurking in Xiangguo Mansion for many years, and she also knows very well about the situation of the Ten Tigers in Xiangguo Mansion, and then Gongsun Lan's words: "The big tiger Chen Taikui was born with divine power, and after practicing hard skills, his whole body is as hard as steel armor. I peeked at him practicing, and more than a dozen Xiangfu guards stabbed him with knives and guns, and he was unscathed. His blade is a large iron vertebrae weighing two hundred pounds. I once saw an assassin enter the Prime Minister's Mansion and be killed by Chen Taikui in the air with an iron spine several feet apart. The whole person was smashed into a pulp. This one alone is extremely difficult to deal with. The second-ranked Chen Nanxing is Chen Taikui's own brother, Chen Nanxing took a different path from his brother, he was good at swordsmanship, liked the scribe's robe, and had the nickname 'Death Scholar'. On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival three years ago, Li Xiaoyao, known as the first swordsman in Chang'an, admired the moon in the Jade Buddha Temple, Chen Nanxing appeared to challenge him, and Li Xiaoyao died of piercing his chest and abdomen in only four moves, which shows the high level of his swordsmanship. ”

Wang Yuan only listened to the brief introduction of these two people, and his scalp was already numb, and he frowned and asked Gongsun Landao: "Cousin's swordsmanship is higher than this Chen Nanxing, who is higher?" ”

Gongsun Lan muttered: "I fought with Chen Nanxing, and that was the time when I went to Xiangguo's mansion at night to visit Twelve Niang. All I can say is that with my swordsmanship, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to win in a hundred moves. This person's swordsmanship is indeed perfect. The most difficult thing among the ten tigers is this Chen Nanxing, compared to him, I am not worried about Chen Taikui's hard skills. Chen Nanxing is Song Nan, who is ranked fourth. This Song Nan is good at hidden weapons and light skills, and there are hidden weapons everywhere on his body, and his techniques are exquisite, and his light body kung fu is excellent. I don't know if Xin'er has seen his unique secret weapon, although I haven't fought with him, but I heard that his unique secret weapon is a kind of King Kong flying sickle that can whirl and attack. Taking people's heads by surprise, the route of the hidden weapon spinning is impossible to figure out and cannot be prevented. ”

Li Xin'er nodded and said, "I've seen it, it's not one, it's three." said that it was a hidden weapon, but it was better to say that it was his unique blade. He can control three scythes to spin back and forth, attacking simultaneously from different directions. And one more thing, this person is known for his ruthlessness. His blades and hidden weapons are forever smeared with aconitum poison. The one who is poisoned will not die, but the body will be paralyzed and unable to fight, and eventually he will be captured. This Song Nan likes to capture opponents alive and then slowly torture them to death. And this person ...... Person...... Greedy for flowers and lustful, it is said that he is a flower thief, and he has ruined the chastity of many good women. There are few women he captures who are not defiled by him. ”

Wang Yuan frowned, and the more he listened, the more worried he became. These guys are not only high in martial arts but also shameless guys, Wang Yuan would rather lead his troops to fight against the powerful enemy army and face hellish opponents on the battlefield than against these masters in the rivers and lakes. Because in front of them, it seems that there is never a chance of winning, and they don't know when they will succeed.

Li Xin'er didn't notice Wang Yuan's face, and introduced the situation of the Ten Tigers of the Xiangfu that she knew: "The martial arts of the remaining five people are not very high, it can be said that I can fight with them with any one of them." But one thing is that they all carry a kind of hidden weapon that can be thrown and exploded, and when thrown, the explosion fires and poisonous smoke fills the air. ”

Wang Yuan blurted out: "Poisonous phosphorus bomb." ”

Li Xin'er nodded again and again: "Yes, it's a poisonous phosphorus bomb, how do you know?" ”

Gongsun Lan said softly: "When rounding up Nie Jiangchuan, Nie Jiangchuan used a poisonous phosphorus bomb to try to get out, that kind of poisonous phosphorus bomb is indeed very powerful, it can also hurt people, and it can be used to get out at a critical time." ”

Li Xin'er said: "It turns out that you have all seen it, so I don't need to say more." ”

Mrs. Qin Guo's expression has been very surprised when she listened to Gongsun Lanhe Li Xin'er's story, she knew a long time ago that Wang Yuan had two women with strong martial arts skills, Li Xin'er was okay, Wang Yuan had fabricated Li Xin'er's life experience to Mrs. Qin Guo, and concealed Li Xin'er's identity, Mrs. Qin Guo only knew that Li Xin'er was an ordinary woman with some martial arts. In fact, Li Xin'er's words and deeds are indeed not the style of everyone's ladies, which also matches Wang Yuan's identity from the market, and it can also explain why Wang Yuan married her.

But for Gongsun Lan, Mrs. Qin always felt a little strange in her haze. While being amazed by her beauty, Mrs. Qin always had a sense of déjà vu. As Mrs. Qin Guo, many years ago, when Gongsun Lan was still the eldest lady of the sword dance, she must have seen her dancing. It's just that even if the noble Mrs. Qin Guo may appreciate and admire the dancing posture of Aunt Gongsun, she may not have the heart to remember the appearance of this dancing girl. I was a little impressed when I was amazed, but now it's been a long time, and although there are some vague outlines, it's hard to recall.

But Mrs. Qin Guo is a delicate person, although she feels that this woman's identity is suspicious, but she doesn't ask much.

"It's a bit tricky. It seems that we have to do something about it, and this is not to be taken lightly, and it would be foolish for me to know that the situation is serious and they will succeed. Wang Yuan frowned and said in a deep voice.

Qingyun'er said timidly: "It's better to transfer more soldiers and horses to guard the house, and when Erlang goes out during the day, he also brings more soldiers and horses to guard him." Although the Eight Tigers are strong in martial arts, they always have no ability to break through the defense of hundreds of guards. This is not an overt fight, just a precaution. ”

Wang Yuan smiled bitterly: "Does that mean that you have to hide in the house every day and can't go out?" I've also become a shrunken turtle, and when I go there, I'm all soldiers, who can live this kind of life? And this method only treats the symptoms but not the root cause, the Eight Tigers have always been, are we always like this for the rest of our lives? ”

Qing Yun'er blushed and bowed her head silently, Lan Xinhui gently patted her hand and whispered: "Don't care, everyone is thinking of a way, the good or bad method is secondary, and the husband is not to blame you." ”

But I heard Gongsun Lan say softly: "According to Erlang's meaning, what do you want to do?" ”

Everyone's eyes turned to Wang Yuan, Wang Yuan stood at the mouth of the pavilion with his hands in his hands, looked up at the blue sky and white clouds in the sky and pondered quietly, and after a while, he turned around and said: "Grievances must be settled, and hiding is not a way, what should be faced still has to be faced, and what should be solved still has to be solved." I can't be a turtle with a shrunken head for the rest of my life, and I was scared by a few so-called masters of the rivers and lakes. Now that the matter is coming, I will make it even bigger. They are in the dark, and I can be in the dark, dark against dark, to see who is darker. ”
