The footsteps stopped in front of the door, and after a while, a pleasant voice said, "Xiahou Yuanfeng, please see you." ”

I was shocked in my heart, glanced at Dong Que, a dagger was quietly falling on his right hand, and sighed in my heart, if Xiao Shunzi is here, Xiahou Yuanfeng can naturally be easily held, but if it is Dong Que, I'm afraid it won't work, according to Xiao Shunzi's estimate, Dong Que's martial arts are only second-rate, although it is much stronger than before, but if he moves the weapon, I'm afraid it still won't work, let him stay to protect me In addition to other people's inappropriateness, there is also a reason that he is good at a lot of chicken and dog thieves. This is where I rely on him, anyway, if it is a real fight, it is useless even if Xiao Shunzi is there. So I simply used Dong Que, but now it's difficult.

I winked and said, "Lord Xiahou, please come in." ”

The door opened, Xiahou Yuanfeng was dressed in yellow guard clothes, and after walking in, he bowed and said, "Since the last time I was blessed by Lord Cheng to spare his life, Xiahou has been thinking about Lord Xia all the time. ”

I said coldly: "Lord Xiahou is serious, last time Lord Meng told the real murderer of the assassination, this is the kindness of the adult, how can Jiang take revenge, now the adult controls Jiang's life and death with one hand, I don't know what else to mention about the old days?" ”

Xiahou Yuanfeng smiled, looking even more plump, he said: "Although Wei Ying and others are not bad, but this kind of thing is inevitably a little lacking, if Xiahou presides over the search, he must send someone to monitor for more than half a day, beware of someone hiding in the dark, or coming back here." ”

Dong Que frowned, he also understood this truth, but time was pressing, and he was worried that it would be harmful if he clicked on Jiang Zhe's acupoint for too long.

Xiahou Yuanfeng's expression softened when he saw this, and his eyes fell on the secret decree of Ayapa on the bookcase, and he said lightly: "May I ask Lord Jiang, I don't know how to discuss with the princess, in fact, although King Yong is temporarily out of danger, but Wen Ziyan is chasing and killing, if there is no reinforcements, King Yong will inevitably be caught in the net sooner or later, and the lower officials also want to know how Lord Jiang can turn the tide and live up to the identity of King Yong's chief think tank?" ”

My expression gradually calmed down, if the matter really came to an emergency, I was always more and more calm, I picked a chair and sat down, I smiled and said: "Lord Xiahou is the prince's henchman, why don't you bring the guards and forbidden troops to come and arrest Jiang, this is a great achievement." ”

Xiahou Yuanfeng said with a smile: "Now that the prince relies on Fengyimen, even Fengyimen's young master Lu is under house arrest, and the prince doesn't dare to ask, even if I make a great contribution, it's useless, not to mention, the evil shadow is still alive, if I dedicate you to the prince, I'm afraid that in a few days, this life will be given away." ”

I wondered in my heart, this was not the reason for him to let me go, time was pressing, and I didn't want to entangle with him, so I said: "Although Xiao Shunzi is strong in martial arts, he is just one person, Lord Xiahou will be an official in the future, what are you afraid of him doing?" But I don't know what Lord Xiahou wants Jiang to do for you? ”

A hint of joy flashed between Xiahou Yuanfeng's eyebrows, and he said: "My request is very simple, if Lord Jiang is willing to cut his love and give me the evil shadow as a slave, Xiahou must have fought with his life to save the Lord today." ”

I only felt a bang in my head, and I almost lost my mind, but fortunately, Dong Que pushed me in time, and I endured my anger and said: "Although Xiao Shunzi and I are called master and servant, we are like flesh and blood, and Lord Xiahou's request is too much." ”

Xiahou Yuanfeng smiled slightly and said: "The evil shadow treats Lord Jiang as a father and brother, and is loyal, Xiahou is very envious, I think that if Lord Jiang is under my hands, the evil shadow will also obey my orders." ”

I said coldly: "Lord Xiahou, you are too proud, but you shouldn't have come by yourself." ”

Xiahou Yuanfeng glanced at Dong Que, shook his head and said: "He is not my opponent, if it weren't for knowing that Li Shun escaped with King Yong, I wouldn't dare to come and arrest you alone, Lord Jiang rest assured, I will never hand you over to the prince and Fengyimen, Master Jiang is very talented, and Xiahou also wants to listen to the lesson." ”

At this moment, Dong Que suddenly made a move, and a ray of cold light stabbed towards Xiahou Yuanfeng, but Xiahou Yuanfeng was not in a hurry and took out his sword to meet him. The two fought together, their figures were staggered in the dormitory, the sword light was like meteor lightning, both of them didn't want to alarm others, so they were very restrained, it didn't take long for Dong Que to gradually become invincible, his strength was not in martial arts, and there was no chance of winning against someone like Xiahou whose martial arts were much higher than him.

After a few more moves, Xiahou Yuanfeng had already pierced Dong Que's thigh with a sword, and the moment Dong Que fell to the ground, at this moment, Xiahou Yuanfeng's eyes saw that Jiang Zhe had an extra short sword in his hand, which was stabbing at the heart, and he was in a hurry, and hurriedly flew to Jiang Zhe, for him, Jiang Zhe could not die. At this moment, he suddenly saw a cluster of cold rays shooting out from Jiang Zhe's waist, Xiahou Yuanfeng was startled, and was about to avoid it, but it was a person in mid-air, unable to avoid it, and that cluster of cold rays was not only faster than the streamer, but also at a very tricky angle, although Xiahou Yuanfeng tried his best to avoid it, there was still a small half shot into his body. Xiahou Yuanfeng subconsciously struck out with a palm, and Jiang Zhe fell backwards. And Xiahou Yuanfeng only felt that his whole body was sore and weak, and he couldn't help but fall to the ground. At this time, Dong Que rushed over in panic and leaned over to see Jiang Zhe's situation.

I woke up slowly, saw Dong Que's frightened look, and said in a low voice: "I'm fine, have you been caught?" ”

Dong Que said with a smile: "Childe's secret weapon is really powerful, Xiahou Yuanfeng couldn't move immediately after he was hit." ”

I breathed a sigh of relief, just now I have been thinking about how to get out of the predicament, because I understand that Dong Que is not Xiahou Yuanfeng's opponent, the only opportunity is that Xiahou Yuanfeng came alone, I am not a stupid person, Xiao Shunzi's martial arts and intelligence are rare in the world, such a talent, succumbing to me, I don't know how many people are upset about him, and I don't know how many people want to recruit him, but it is just in the way of King Yong, Xiahou Yuanfeng is not small, and he actually wants to fight his idea, but because of this, He can't hand me over to Fengyimen, since he came alone, then as long as I restrain him, I will be safe, but this is also the most difficult thing, what is the way for a weak scholar who has no power to restrain a top master?

Fortunately, I finally thought of a way, since he had something to ask for, then he couldn't let me kill myself, so when Dong Que was defeated, he raised his sword to commit suicide, in his opinion, this is in line with my identity as the chief strategist of King Yong, and he would rather die than be disgraced, so he flew to save me, even if he used other ways to shoot down my short sword, he would definitely rush over to restrain me, and I took this opportunity to shoot out the poison needles hidden in the jade belt around my waist, and those poison needles were originally quenched with the poison of blood sealing the throat, but a few days ago, I switched to a freshly prepared anesthetic that softened between breaths, but it was short-lived. Of course, I still encountered the imaginary danger, Xiahou Yuanfeng counterattacked with a palm hit me, fortunately he had almost lost all his strength at that time, and I was able to save my life.

Standing up and looking at Xiahou Yuanfeng, who looked a little hideous, I was still a little uneasy, my beloved hairpin made of the essence of dark iron had been given to Xiao Shunzi, he didn't use weapons on weekdays, but for his safety, when he broke through last night, I gave him the hairpin, which was a more powerful weapon than anything else for him. So I took off the current hairpin with three points of gold and seven points of fine iron, and the sharp hairpin pierced into several hidden points of Xiahou Yuanfeng, I can now ensure that he can't fight back, and now it is I who controls the situation.

After a while, Xiahou Yuanfeng began to be able to move, but he could feel that all the strength in his body had been lost, and he smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect that Lord Jiang also had such means." ”

I humbly said, "This is really a villain trick that can only be succeeded by surprise." ”

Xiahou Yuanfeng's expression was calm, as if it was me who had now become a prisoner of the subordinates, and he smiled: "I don't know how Lord Jiang is going to deal with him, if the subordinate suddenly disappears, I'm afraid that someone will not give up?" ”

I glanced at him lightly and said, "Don't worry, I will hide you in the dark grid after killing you, so that you don't have to worry about someone finding your body, maybe you will think that you escaped privately?" King Yong took off, and some people would be very afraid in their hearts. Hearing my words, Dong Que immediately went to open the dark compartment on the bed again. I said: "Dong Que, don't see blood, lest the bloody gas be too heavy and attract the attention of others." Dong Que smiled and said, "The subordinates obey the order." With that, he slowly pointed a finger at Xiahou Yuanfeng's death hole.

Xiahou Yuanfeng obviously knew that these two people were deliberately scaring him, otherwise why would Jiang Zhe just ban his martial arts, but fear still rose from his heart, that Dong Que looked cold and ruthless, and he was a murderous figure at first sight. At this time, Jiang Zhe said again: "I haven't killed anyone with my own hands, so it's better for you to do it." At this time, Xiahou Yuanfeng couldn't help it, he knew, most of these strategists were followers of the gentleman's Yuanchu cook, if he really died like this, it would be too worthless, cold sweat trickled down, he exclaimed: "Lord Jiang spares his life, and the lower officials are willing to surrender." But Jiang Zhe didn't make a sound, just smiled faintly, Dong Que's fingers got closer and closer, and finally pointed at Xiahou Yuanfeng's death hole, Xiahou Yuanfeng only felt frightened, and was about to scream, Dong Que had already reached out to cover his mouth, Xiahou Yuanfeng only felt dizzy for a while, and after a while, he came to his senses, but it turned out that Dong Que only used two points of force on his fingers, so he did not kill Xiahou Yuanfeng, but Xiahou Yuanfeng was so frightened that his face turned pale, he had never been so close to death.

I sat down and looked at Xiahou Yuanfeng, who had returned to normal in an instant, and couldn't help but be a little impressed, this person is a talent, scheming, improvised, and able to bend and stretch, but unfortunately it is the prince's party, and he looked at him with some regret, now is not the time for me to be merciful, if there is the slightest mistake, then King Yong is really doomed.

Xiahou Yuanfeng saw Jiang Zhe's cold and regretful eyes, and his heart was cold, although he was scared half to death, he could feel that Jiang Zhe was just angry, but now, with that kind of look, it seemed that he had to die, and hurriedly shouted: "Lord Jiang, I just don't want to reveal the assassin's kindness to you on the next day, and please also ask the adults to remember Yuanfeng's loyalty to the princess." ”

I would have already issued a killing order, hearing him say this, I couldn't help but be stunned, Xiahou Yuanfeng hurriedly said: "It was the lower official who showed the princess to Her Royal Highness the princess that Fengyi had the intention of plotting against the princess, the princess was in distress in the palace that day, although it was not the lower official who rescued her, but if the princess had prepared in advance, how could she be so lucky." ”

Hearing this, my heart softened, the princess did inform me of Fengyimen's plan through Princess Yong, but His Royal Highness King Yong and I thought that Fengyimen would use coercion and temptation, but I didn't expect them to use such despicable means, if it weren't for me and Xiaoshunzi arranged people in advance, the princess would inevitably fall into the trap, but I still have to thank Xiahou Yuanfeng for his kindness, looked at Xiahou Yuanfeng again, I sighed: "Lord Xiahou, you do have merit to the princess, but you also know the current situation, What do you use to convince me that it is worth letting you go? ”

Xiahou Yuanfeng used his brain, thinking of a way to survive, and it didn't take long for his eyes to fall on the bookcase, and Fang Ayapa's secret decree, his eyes lit up, and said: "Except for the below, no one can send these things out more conveniently, that is the emperor's secret decree, I think Her Royal Highness the princess Lan Xinhui will never do useless things." ”

I said lightly: "You are very smart, but this matter is not unavoidable. ”

Xiahou Yuanfeng said with a smile: "Although the emperor's will and General Qin's talisman have been obtained, but if you want to mobilize the army, someone must pass on the decree, I don't know who His Royal Highness King Yong's secret agent is beside the prince, but the prince will only let his henchmen pass the decree, Fengyimen is inconvenient to come forward, now the prince does not have many henchmen, and Lu Shaofu is the most of them, I am Lu Shaofu's nephew, besides me, who else is more suitable for this work."

I frowned when I heard this, yes, although Zhang Jinxiong can ask to go, but he is not as justifiable as Xiahou Yuanfeng, but can I trust him? looked at Xiahou Yuanfeng with a puzzled gaze, at this time, there were a few bird calls outside, Dong Que's expression moved, looked at me and said, "Childe? ”

I knew that Zhang Jinxiong had arrived, and nodded slightly.

Dong Que walked out, under the moonlight, a heroic-looking man stood there, seeing Dong Que, his expression widened, and he said in a low voice: "I only have a moment, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Young Master Lu discussed, to send Lord Xiahou to pass the decree, Zhang accompanied him to protect, I came out to find Lord Xiahou, so I can come here." ”

Dong Que's heart moved, and he said in a low voice: "Please wait a while, Mr. Zhang, now that Xiahou Yuanfeng has been controlled by my son-in-law, please come to the side hall to speak." ”

Zhang Jinxiong was stunned, he knew Xiahou Yuanfeng's martial arts, if the two of them fought, even if he would not be defeated, it would be difficult to win, he didn't expect Xiahou Yuanfeng to be restrained, and he couldn't help but be more fond of that Jiang Zhejiang Suiyun.

The two entered the side hall, Dong Que walked back to the princess's dormitory, and whispered a few words in Jiang Zhe's ear.

After listening to this, I was very surprised, I don't know if this is God's favor, after thinking about it, I took out a few pills from the dark compartment in the jade belt around my waist, looked at them for a long time, selected one of them, looked at Xiahou Yuanfeng and said: "You take this pill, I believe that you really abandon the darkness and turn to the light." You should know that I am a descendant of the medical saint, this poison is not without an antidote, but there is no ten days and a half months, the antidote is not good, if you want to be prosperous and rich, the prince can give it to you, King Yong can also give it to you, but if you want your life, then there is only one way to go. ”

Xiahou Yuanfeng hesitated, but he was a decisive person, not to mention that if he didn't eat this poison, then it would be impossible to get out of Hanxiang Garden, so he immediately took the pill and took it. When I saw him take it, I said, "There is one more thing, since you and Fengyimen work together with the prince, then you can recognize Liang Wan." Xiahou Yuanfeng was stunned for a moment, and said: "Xia Guan recognizes it, but it is said that Miss Liang has been ruined, although Fengyi Sect is secretive, but I heard Young Master Lu say it." ”

I smiled faintly and said, "Liang Wan who used drugs to poison Liang Wan that day was under it." ”

Xiahou Yuanfeng's eyes widened, and he looked at me in disbelief and said, "Impossible, could it be that you have already taken refuge in King Yong at that time?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what he meant, so I smiled and said: "This matter has nothing to do with His Royal Highness King Yong, Liang Wan is my enemy who killed my wife, and I just dealt with her to take revenge." ”

Xiahou Yuanfeng felt a chill in his heart, and looked at Jiang Zhe, at this moment he really believed that Jiang Zhe had the ability to kill himself with a move, but he calmed down and said, "I don't know what else can be effective in the future." ”

I was a little puzzled, and said, "Why did Lord Xiahou say this, it seems that he is more concerned about this matter than Jiang. ”

Xiahou Yuanfeng said with a smile: "Now that I have been controlled by adults, then I am on the ship of His Royal Highness King Yong, since this is the case, I naturally hope that this ship is as stable as possible, and it is best to let me make more contributions, so as not to have the opportunity to become an official in the future." ”

I smiled reassuringly, if Xiahou Yuanfeng wants to be added to the ranks, I can rest assured. I waved my hand and asked Dong Que to take the piece of silk handkerchief, and solemnly handed it to Xiahou Yuanfeng, Xiahou Yuanfeng also took it with a solemn expression, and I bowed deeply and said: "This is the secret decree of the Holy Lord, you must hand it over to General Qin Yong, and let General Qin Yong come to rescue King Qin." Xiahou Yuanfeng said: "Your Excellency, rest assured, Xiahou will definitely live up to your trust, His Royal Highness King Yong, please ask your Excellency to say a lot of good words." ”

After Dong Que sent Xiahou Yuanfeng away, he came back and said, "Childe, he really left." ”

I said to Dong Que: "Go and ask Manager Zhang to come over." ”

Looking at Zhang Jinxiong's back, I finally breathed a sigh of relief, if Xiahou Yuanfeng would not betray, then it would be safer, if Xiahou Yuanfeng had a different heart, then he would definitely not think that I had other messengers, so that I could rest assured that Zhang Jinxiong was safe. And the ban I originally planned to place on Zhang Jinxiong has also been canceled, since I want him to serve as a secret envoy, I have to show my trust in him, for the disciples from famous and upright families, this will make them do their best, and in the case that there is already Xiahou Yuanfeng as a clear envoy, the secret envoy does not need to be strictly controlled. What's more, Zhang Jinxiong is more trustworthy after all, whether it is his character or his teacher, now the Kongtong faction has also been separated from Fengyimen, not long ago, the important people in Kongtong secretly contacted Shaolin and expressed their intention to cooperate. Even if Xiahou Yuanfeng brings someone to arrest me immediately, I don't have to worry, as long as I can summon Qin Yong, what does it matter about my safety, and I believe that General Qin's jade pendant can make Qin Yong believe more than the emperor's secret decree, not to mention, there are also my preparations in advance. Feeling all my energy drained, I lay down on the bed and thought, what else can I do next? Anyway, I'd better stay here, so that Xiahou Yuanfeng will think that I trust him, and even if he betrays, he won't suspect that there are other messengers.
