Chapter 70: The Chessboard Abandonment
Xiao Thrush snuggled in Xiao Fan's arms, looking satisfied, like a kitten napping in the owner's arms after eating and drinking.
Very warm atmosphere, like a couple who have been with each other for many years, happily enjoying a plain and quiet life, content and cherishing blessings.
The kitten spoils the cosy atmosphere.
"That fierce-looking county ......"
Xiao Fan corrected her with a smile: "That's Brother Cao, it's my friend." ”
Xiao Thrush nodded, and said thoughtfully: "The servants beside Brother Cao have evil intentions. ”
Xiao Fan shook his head and said, "The domestic servant who fought with the master? What is his evil intentions? …… He seems to have been sent by King Yan. ”
Xiao Thrush stared at Xiao Fan, his immature little face was full of seriousness: "You have to be careful of him." ”
Her very serious little face was very cute, Xiao Fan couldn't help but smile, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll be careful." ”
Turning his head to look at Taixu, Taixu was humming a little song in a daze, as if he had not fallen asleep.
"Master, what's the matter with you and Brother Cao's servant? Why do you fight as soon as you meet? ”
Taixu opened his eyes, rolled his eyes, and said, "Why can't you fight?" It's normal for masters to meet and learn from each other. ”
Xiao Fan said bitterly: "You are the master!" You have to set a good example, otherwise my apprentice will follow you and roll up your sleeves and beat people without knowing them, what is it like? ”
Tai Xuan said angrily: "Who said I don't know him? That old guy turned to ashes, and the Taoist master could spell him out of the ashes! ”
Xiao Fan was surprised: "Do you know him?" Who is he? ”
Taixu said slowly: "I don't know who he is now, I only know that he used to be a famous assassin......"
Xiao Fan was taken aback and said, "Assassin? Killer? ”
Crackling, dark clouds in the sky, lightning and thunder, the listener was depressed like a mountain, and the heavens and the earth were low for a long ......time, "Killer? Well, yes, that old guy kills for a living, of course a killer. ”
"And what was his former name? Is it famous? ”
Taixu said leisurely: "He has no name or surname, but people on the rivers and lakes call him 'Sunset'." ”
Xiao Fan was suddenly in awe.
Sunset Killer, what a poignant name, with such a cruel and bloody poetry, it sounds melancholy...... "The name is too stylish!" Xiao Fan's eyes lit up, goosebumps all over his body stood up, and he didn't know what he was excited about.
Tai Xuan glanced at him contemptuously, and said slowly: "Actually...... He has changed his name several times in his life, and only changed his name to Sunset ...... ten years ago."
Xiao Fan was puzzled: "Change your name?" Why? ”
"Ahem, when he first debuted, he was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man, his name was 'Chaoyang' at that time, and when he was thirty years old, he had already made a lot of fame, so he changed his name to 'Jiaoyang'......"
Xiao Fan was dumbfounded, such a beautiful name actually changed with age...... Taixu continued: "...... When he was forty years old, his fame in the rivers and lakes was already as good as Zhongtian, and his methods and experience in killing people had reached the peak of his life, so he changed his name to 'Lieyang', and when he was sixty years old, his body and kung fu gradually declined, so he changed his name to 'Sunset'......"
Xiao Fanhu's excited expression suddenly seemed to have been poured with a basin of ice water, and he immediately calmed down.
The reality is a scooper, he will take the poignant poetry rudely ripped off, and then press it to ravage it, so that the poetry becomes a pile of white fat meat, which looks greasy and disgusting, and has nothing to do with poignancy.
Raising his hand to stop him, Xiao Fan looked at it with a look of realization: "Master, I understand, if he lives for a few more years, he will definitely have to change his name again, well, the moonlight killer ......"
"Yes!"
In the deep night, in a dense forest outside the north city of Jiangpu.
Cao Yi's old servant was wearing a night suit, his beard and hair fluttering in the wind, and his expression was cold and cold.
Five paces away from him, a man in black who was also dressed in night clothes stood opposite him, and his face was even more chilling than that of his old servant.
The old servant said coldly: "I have sent a secret letter to Your Highness, Zhu Yunwen has been going back and forth between Jingshi and Jiangpu recently, and he has met a new friend in Jiangpu, named Xiao Fan, who has a very good relationship with Cao Yi. ”
The man in black nodded and said, "Your secret letter has been received by His Royal Highness, and His Highness wants me to ask you, Zhu Yunwen frequently leaves Beijing and goes to Jiangpu lightly, how many guards do you usually bring with him?" ”
The old servant thought for a while and said, "There are usually no more than twenty, but they are all masters in the Jinyi army. ”
The man in black said coldly: "In this way, His Highness has an order." ”
The old servant clenched his fists and said, "Please speak." ”
"Your Royal Highness ordered: Give you thirty dead soldiers of the Yan Palace, led by you, and wait for the opportunity to assassinate Zhu Yunwen in Jiangpu."
The old servant looked hesitant and didn't say a word.
The man in black said coldly, "What questions do you have?" ”
The old servant was puzzled: "Why do you want to kill Zhu Yunwen?" ”
The man in black said in a cold voice: "Your Highness acts, is it necessary to explain it to you?" ”
The old servant was silent.
The man in black said: "That's it, to solve your confusion, you need to concentrate on doing things for His Highness." Zhu Yunwen is the emperor's grandson, the successor of the throne, if he dies, the emperors and grandchildren are mediocre, the Son of Heaven can only set up the crown prince in the prince, among the kings, the eldest son of the emperor Yiwen Prince Zao, the second son of the emperor King Qin also in March last year, the third son of the emperor Jin Wang is smart and sensitive, but his surname is flying and domineering, unbearable, so, His Royal Highness King Yan is the most suitable candidate for the crown prince, King Yan counts the remnants of the Yuan, has been on the border for the country for many years, has repeatedly made military exploits, and is deeply loved by the Son of Heaven. ”
"Ping said that Zhu Yunwen is mostly in the East Palace, and his footprints are not out of the Beijing Division, and the Beijing Division is intertwined, heavily guarded, and it is not easy to assassinate, and he is often in Jiangpu, and he only brings a dozen guards with him, which can be said to be a God-given opportunity, how can he not kill?"
The old servant said: "Jiangpu is now under the rule of Cao Yi, everyone knows that Cao Yi was once the general of a hundred households around His Highness, if Zhu Yunwen dies in Jiangpu, won't the Son of Heaven suspect His Highness?" ”
The man in black sneered: "Today's surname is suspicious and suspicious, the more obvious the flaw, the more he doesn't believe it, not to mention that King Yan is far away in Beiping, if Zhu Yunwen dies in Jiangpu, the Son of Heaven will only think that someone deliberately used Zhu Yunwen's death under Cao Yi's rule to blame King Yan, which is not only a blame, but also shows that King Yan is innocent, the art of war is false, and the truth is false, King Yan has led the army for many years, how can he not know the way of truth?" ”
An unbearable look flashed in the old servant's eyes, and he pursed his lips and said, "Isn't that Cao Yi ......?"
King Yan cleared his suspicion, but Cao Yi will inevitably be killed by the angry Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven loves to kill and likes to sit together, if Zhu Yunwen dies under Cao Yi's rule, Cao Yiyan is lucky?
The man in black said sharply: "If you want to achieve great things, your relatives can also be killed!" What about a hundred generals? The world is like a chessboard, everyone in the world is a chess piece in the hands of King Yan, who to abandon to protect whom, His Royal Highness has his own measure, when did you become so kind? ”
The old servant gritted his teeth and said respectfully: "Obey the orders of His Highness." ”
"The dead soldiers of Yanwangfu have been dispatched, and now they are lurking in Zhenjiang Mansion, that is, they are going to Jiangpu, you have to do this well, if Zhu Yunwen dies, His Royal Highness will become a prince, the Son of Heaven is old, and his death is imminent, he said His Royal Highness is on the throne, you should be the first to take the lead."
"Yes!"
Recently, Xiao Fan felt that there had been some changes in his body, and this change made him very happy.
When meditating, he finally felt that there was a trace of qi in the dantian, the legendary qi machine, a very peculiar feeling, when the internal strength of the heart method, the faint qi machine slowly traveled along the various acupoints and meridians of the body, a week to get a little stronger, and then a week, and a point stronger, that feeling is like a self-made miser, secretly saving money, looking at the more money saved, the happier he is...... It's so gratifying, the future heroes of the rivers and lakes were born, and in time, the rivers and lakes will rise a burst of bloody rain, retreat from the night, worship the ugliness, and dare to laugh at the undefeated men in the East...... It seems that he has endless energy all over his body, I don't know if it is an illusion of excitement, he feels that his small body, which has always been weak, seems to be getting stronger and stronger, more and more full of strength, just like knocking two viagra pills by the way after being injected with chicken blood, Da Xiao Fan and Xiao Fan are full of vitality every day.
The body is the capital of the revolution, don't care if you can be a prince in the future, good health is the greatest wealth.
Xiao Fan felt more and more that he was too empty and a little unfathomable, saying that he was a peerless master, he was like an old god who cheated everywhere, he would never let go of what he could take advantage of, without the slightest demeanor of a peerless master, saying that he was not a master, the internal strength he taught was indeed somewhat useful, at least Xiao Fan personally experienced the legendary internal strength.
Taixu, a sloppy Taoist priest like a mystery, a liar, a strict teacher, a master, a friend, his identity changes at all times, Xiao Fan really loves and hates him, the inner conflict is fierce, and the emotional entanglement is complex, comparable to Grandma Qiong's Qianlong Emperor and Xia Yuhe on the shore of Daming Lake...... "Master, I'm angry!" Xiao Fan's call of surprise was too vain.
"Nonsense, you've been buried long ago if you don't have gas!"
"No, Master, I feel the qi......"
He was too vain, and then wondered: "Is this time real?" Don't you scream hungry? ”
"Master, you have to trust the intuition and character of the disciple......"
"Tell me what the qi you feel looks like."
"It's a very faint qi, which is stirred up from the dantian when luck, and then slowly swims into the various acupoints and meridians of the body, and returns to the dantian after swimming around......"
I thought about it for a while, and then said with surprise on my face: "Not bad, that's it!" That's right! ”
Saying that, Taixu grabbed Xiao Fan's hand, put his fingers on his wrist, and after holding it for a while, Taixu nodded and affirmed: "Yes, although the qi is very weak, it has been practiced after all, and the poor Dao should really thank God......"
"Master, I have practiced internal strength, what does it have to do with God? You have to thank me, you should thank me......"
Taixu snorted: "It took ten days to practice such a little bit of qi, you are embarrassed to say!" If Poor Dao had accepted your stupid apprentice forty years ago, either you would have died or I would have died......"
"What do you mean?"
"Either Poor Dao is so angry that he will slap you to death, or you will be angry with Poor Dao to death, just these two ways!"
"Master, can you pass on my breast finger now?" Xiao Fan's face was full of anticipation.
"Immortal Ruyi means! If you take a blind name again, your martial arts will be abolished and you will be expelled from the door! "Taixu has an urge to be violent again.
Xiao Fan stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, it doesn't matter what it means, take it." ”
"Take what?"
"Cheats, don't you have cheats for learning martial arts? Give me the cheats ......"
"Humph! No cheats! ”
Xiao Fan's face was full of disbelief, he stretched out his hand and touched Taixu's body, and said in his mouth: "Master, don't lie to me, I know you must have a secret book, where are you hiding?" Hand it over......"
Taixu was tickled by Xiao Fan's touch, and said angrily while jumping: "Do you want to take it out and sell it for money again?" You scoundrel! No, absolutely nothing! ”
"Master is not allowed to hide his secrets...... In my previous life, I knew that there are many kinds of cheats, some are practiced by men, some are practiced by women, some are practiced by men and women, and some are practiced by people who are not men or women, just give me this book...... By the way, is there a sunflower book? Give me the book, and I'll give the enemy a gift in the future......"
"Nope! Kill the poor road and don't do it! ”
