Chapter 336: If you want to play, play big
The next morning, when the first rays of the morning sun shot into the room, I opened my eyes in a timely manner, and after a night of pranayama, the true qi in my body finally quieted down, but there was no calm smile on my happy and calm face, and there was occasionally a touch of coldness in the depths of my eyes.
Happy pushed the door out, and saw Lu Hanyue and Yang Lihua, looking at the dark red faces of the two women, and the fine frost particles on the tips of their hair, they were stunned at first, and then understood that the two of them must have been waiting for themselves all night, and their hearts were both warm and painful.
"Lihua, Hanyue, I'm sorry for making you suffer." happily stepped forward, tightly held the cold and numb soft hair of Yang Lihua and Lu Hanyue, and said with some guilt, it is now the weather in December, although Huaizhou is not as cold as Yingzhou, but standing quietly outside the house for a night, even if the two women are burdened with internal strength, it is difficult to eat.
"Brother Xing, you're okay." Yang Lihua held her happy palm and looked him up and down nervously and asked, although Lu Hanyue's face was cold, the concern in her eyes was obvious,
"I'm fine, let you worry about it." Happy tightened his children's hands, and said apologetically: "It's cold outside, come into the house to warm up, you guys are so stupid, why don't you go into the house when it's cold outside." Although the words of happiness are reproaches, there is no hint of reproach, and there is only the warmth of guilt and concern.
"Husband, Sister Lihua and I both have kung fu, and we are not afraid of cold and heat." Although she said this, Lu Hanyue's children still smiled softly and happily and obediently entered the house.
The three of them sat down, and Yang Lihua opened her mouth and asked, "Brother Xing, did you make any progress in the interrogation last night?" ”
With a smile on his face, he nodded and said: "I only know that the leader of the assassins is nicknamed Red Wind, good at using knives, and often wears a cloak that is black on the outside and red on the inside, and I don't know anything about the others, as for the other assassins, most of them are notorious Jiangyang thieves, who are despised by people in the righteous path, and they are not all familiar with each other, and they are only controlled by them because the handle falls into the hands of Red Wind." ”
Speaking of this, he looked at Lu Hanyue happily and asked with some hope: "Hanyue, you are a person from the rivers and lakes, do you know the person Chiyan." ”
Lu Hanyue shook her head apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, husband, I haven't heard of this person." ”
Happy eyes darkened, shook his head and said: "Don't blame yourself, since that red wind never shows his true face, he just doesn't want people to know his true identity, and this name is probably fake, but I carefully explored the skills of those assassins last night, and they are quite good, and the people who can drive them to work are not unknown, besides, they have failed in their mission, and they have not yet obtained what they want, and they will definitely appear again." ”
After a pause, he happily continued: "I like to wear a cloak that is black on the outside and red on the inside, and I am good at using a knife, is it a red flame costume." ”
"Red Flame." Lu Hanyue looked at her happily in surprise and said, "Husband, you don't suspect that this matter was done by the Holy Fire Sect. ”
"They're suspicious, but it shouldn't be big." Without waiting for his children to ask, he happily opened his mouth and explained: "The news that Sima Fu stole the "Secret of Eternal Life" was spread by me, maybe it was his revenge, but now he is busy fighting Chen Guo, if there is no threat from my father, Chen Guo can naturally use all his strength to fight him, Sima Fu should not do this." ”
After a pause, he happily continued: "It is said that the Holy Fire Sect has four gods of war, namely Meteor, Lightning, Chasing Wind and Chi Yan, whose status is respected, and his martial arts are even more terrifying. ”
Among the four sects of the Demon Gate, the Moon Worship Sect is in the east, the Holy Fire Sect is in the southwest, the Baihua Palace occupies the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, and the Heavenly Evil Sect is located in the western border of the Yumen Pass in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
Among the four factions, when it comes to martial arts, the Heavenly Evil Sect is the strongest, and the Lunatic Sect is the worst, the former is located in a wild and bitter cold place, and its disciples are brave and ruthless, and their martial arts are naturally strong, and the latter mostly operates Qinglou gambling halls, specializing in training women how to please men, enter wealthy families, or become wives and concubines, or slaves and maids, and the relationship network of the Lunatic Sect is extremely large and amazing, and it is also the richest sect of the four sects of the Demon Gate.
Baihua Palace is as its name, the disciples are the least, and they are all female disciples, although so, but no one dares to easily provoke Baihua Palace, there are six envoys in Baihua Palace, in the name of flowers, they are Fushou grass, Tian Xianzi, Thousand Bird Grass, Purple Locust, Night Primrose and Poppy Flower, these six kinds of flowers are poisonous, it can be seen that Baihua Palace is good at making poison, especially the six envoys are as beautiful as flowers, and they are good at charming, when using poison, it is really impossible to prevent it,
"My husband's guess is not unreasonable." Lu Hanyue bowed his head and said: "Since the news of the "Secret of Eternal Life" in Sima Fu's hands was exposed, the rivers and lakes have been boiling, and there are not a few people who are looking for the bad luck of the Holy Fire Sect, and even the Heavenly Dao Sect and other major sects have also made moves, presumably the Holy Fire Sect is unbearable, and it is not necessary to divert people's attention. ”
"No matter who it is, since they want "Longevity Formula" so much, then I will give it to them and play a big game with them." Happy snorted coldly, a fierce color flashed in his eyes, and said hatefully,
"What are you going to do?" Lu Hanyue saw the gloomy atmosphere between his happy eyebrows, and his heart was even more worried, and he asked suspiciously,
"Han Yue needs help in this matter." happily motioned to Lu Hanyue and Yang Lihua's children to come closer, and whispered slowly about the plan in their hearts,
……
On December 15, Gao Changgong, who was seriously injured for nearly ten days, was finally able to get out of bed and walk, dealing with some urgent official business, the news came out, the people in the city suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, everyone ran to tell each other, killing chickens and slaughtering sheep to celebrate the news, Gao Changgong is the patron saint of Huaizhou, with him, the people can be rich and healthy, live and work in peace and contentment; With him, neither the rebels in the north nor the thieves in the south can take a step beyond the thunder pool, and Xuyi will be impregnable.
However, the joy in the hearts of the people in the city has not yet been small, the bad news came again, on the night of December 15, the back house of the prince's mansion suddenly caught fire, just when the guards of the house were busy fighting the fire, another group of masked assassins sneaked into the mansion, not only took advantage of the chaos again to injure Gao Changgong, but also took the prince happy to hit hard, and Gao Changgong and the happy study were all burned,
The father and son of the King of Sui were assassinated at the same time, the tense and depressing atmosphere of Huaizhou City suddenly reached a fixed point, the officials arrested the assassins in the city day and night, and the city defense army raised the martial law level to the highest level, and the prosperous Xuyi City became depressed because of this sudden bad news, and the people were even more at risk.
At the time of the hunt for the assassins in Huaizhou, an unusually fierce battle was taking place in the market at the west gate of Yangzhou City.
There were two people fighting, one was covered with a black scarf, covered with a black cloak and red inside, and a steel knife in his hand danced vigorously, with amazing momentum, and the other was a middle-aged man in blue, with white skin and three locks of long hair under his chin.
The two of them were fast and slow, and the battle was inseparable, and the sparks in the air where the blades collided flickered non-stop, and the people around them were both afraid and wonderful.
"Hongfeng, you despicable villain, the two of you said that the good book was studied together, why are you backsliding on your word now." The two trembled, but neither defeated the other, they both retreated a few steps back and stared at each other, and the man in blue opened his mouth and shouted angrily,
"You idiot, you can believe whatever I say, if you don't want to die, get out of the way, I don't have time to entangle with you." The man in black chuckled mockingly, and then said coldly,
"You despicable villain, if you don't hand over the "Secret of Longevity" and the treasure map, you don't want to leave, see the trick." The blue-clothed man shouted in dismay, his right foot paused on the ground, rubbed his body again, and the long sword in his hand exuded a cold glow in the sunlight.
"Shut up, you idiot." The man in black was shocked and angry, and he didn't let him rush forward and fight with the man in blue again, although the knife in his hand was like a storm, but when he looked closely, he found that this man didn't want to fight hard, but was looking for a way to get out.
"Hey." Just when the man in black was negligent, the man in blue suddenly stepped forward, grabbed the placket of the man in black and tore it hard, with a hissing sound, the placket of the man in black broke in response, and at the same time, an object tightly wrapped in oil paper fell out of his arms.
Looking at the oil paper package, the man in black's face changed greatly, he roared in his mouth, and the steel knife in his right hand swept away from the bottom up, trying to prevent the man in blue from grabbing the package, facing the sharp blade, the man in blue had to withdraw his hand, but his body did not retreat, and he flew up and hit the left wrist of the man in black who grabbed the oil paper wrap,
There was a soft sound of "touch", the man in black snorted, the package in his hand flew up into the air and scattered, and a parchment roll fell out of it, the man in black and the man in blue glanced at each other, scolded sharply, and rose from the ground to grab the parchment roll, but at the same time grabbed the side of the parchment roll,
"Die." If you want to get the parchment roll, you have to fight hard, the two of them hold the parchment roll with one hand, and attack each other with a killing move in the air, the two of them slapped each other fiercely, the parchment roll can't bear the huge force, and the "hiss" sound is torn apart from it, and the bodies of the two are also thrown back seven or eight meters away, and they stumble a few steps before they stand firm when they land, and the corners of their mouths are overflowing with blood,
The two looked at each other from a distance, without saying a word, snorted coldly and left, and disappeared into the sea of people in the blink of an eye.
Although the two have not been fighting for a long time and have not spoken much, everyone also knows what they are fighting for, the magic of "The Secret of Eternal Life" has long been spread all over the world, and now it has reappeared, and there are unknown treasures, which naturally makes people's hearts move,
On the second day, the man in blue was poisoned in the inn, and the parchment scroll on his body was also missing, and the things recorded on the parchment scroll slowly spread.
It is said that the "Recipe for Eternal Life" is divided into two volumes, the upper volume writes the law of immortality, the next volume records the peerless martial arts, if practiced, you can fly to the sky and the earth, move mountains and seas, and the next volume also records a treasure map of the Qin Dynasty period, it is said that Qin Shi Huang left for future generations, which contains countless gold and silver,
Compared with the first volume of the "Recipe for Longevity", which is quite restrictive, the second volume is more tempting, whether it is the miraculous peerless martial arts or the unimaginably huge wealth, everyone in the world is eager to rush to it.
