Chapter 15: Hidden Secrets
。 Rewind time to a moment ago
In the hall of a second-entry house at the corner of Guang'an Street in the capital of Hebei, Jin Ling'er, a woman who can be said to make Xie Anchao think about it, is sitting on a chair in the hall, looking up at the roof, closing her eyes and recuperating.
Her hands, which she once didn't know how much Xie An had taken advantage of, were tied tightly with strips of cloth at the moment, and they were flat on the armrests of the chair like that, vaguely, as if she could see her hands trembling slightly, and even, faintly traces of blood oozing out of the strips of cloth.
In addition to her, there were more than twenty assassins dressed in black in the room, some of them were sitting on chairs, some were leaning against the corner, their bodies were more or less wounded, and even one of them seemed to be injured in the chest, and the blood was seeping out little by little through the bandage used, looking at the person's blue lips and pale face, it was not difficult to guess that this person was seriously injured.
After a while, Jin Ling'er took a deep breath, opened her eyes, looked around at the people in the room, and asked in a deep voice, "Have you ever erased the bloodstains that I waited for all the way?" ”
A dangerous building assassin who was not seriously injured nodded when he heard this, and said, "Eldest sister, don't worry, the younger brother has checked several times, and I am sure that there is no trace left!" ”
Jin Ling'er nodded wordlessly, then closed her eyes again, looking at her appearance, she seemed very tired.
The whole room was silent.
I don't know how long it took, but an assassin who was sitting in the corner of the wall and injured his left arm and right leg slammed his right fist to the ground, gritted his teeth and scolded, "Unbelievable, unbelievable! Those people in Dongling actually killed the patrolling guards! ”
The assassins in the house looked at each other and remained silent.
What happened around last night, they still remember vividly, it was clear that it was originally just a confrontation between the two major assassin pavilions of Dongling and Weilou for territory, but in the end, it turned into a confrontation between soldiers and thieves......
The Assassins of the Dangerous Building never expected it. Last night, when the original group of guards from the Patrol Division arrived at the location of their confrontation, the Dongling Assassins actually killed even those guards from the Patrol Division, which directly caused the Assassins in the dangerous building to have to fight with the guards of the Patrol Division.
It stands to reason that the Assassin Pavilion is secretly fighting for territory, and once the government forces intervene, then the two major Assassin Pavilions will clash. According to the rules, you must temporarily retreat, even if it is said to be an escape, it doesn't matter, as for the corpses of your companions, as long as you wait for the limelight to pass, and then sneak into the Weiwei Temple to steal it out, after all, the government has never been interested in this kind of vendetta that is difficult to track down the murderer, and even the government placed those corpses in the morgue and did not send guards. Isn't that a hint that the Assassins will take those corpses back?
But this time was different, because the Dongling Assassin killed a patrol guard first, the tacit understanding between the soldiers and the thieves was broken, and in the face of the patrol guards who came to support the continuous supply, whether it was the Dongling Assassin or the Dangerous Building Assassin, they had to use the weapons in their hands to forcibly kill a bloody way. "There were more than 100 people, in just half an hour. More than 100 people in the Patrol Division of Weiwei Temple were killed by these two major assassin pavilions. I am afraid that no less than forty people died at the hands of the assassins of the Dangerous Tower.
This situation ......
Too bad!
"Squeak!" A knock on the door alarmed everyone in the room, and even Jin Ling'er opened her eyes and looked at the visitor anxiously.
Under the gaze of everyone in the house, including Jin Ling'er, I saw a man who looked to be in his twenties walk into the house. Dressed in cloth clothes and with green tendons on his head, dressed as an ordinary person, he walked up to Jin Ling'er, hugged his fists and said, "Eldest sister." Not good, the imperial court is really here this time, not only sent heavy troops to block the nine gates, only allowed to enter but not out, but also sent additional guards patrolling the streets, Guang'an Street, Yongan Street, Chaoyang Street, all the streets and alleys in the south of the city, are guarded and patrolled by the guards of the Patrol Division of the Weiwei Temple! It is said that this time it was Guanglu Temple, Weiwei Temple, and Dajiao Temple that jointly searched and arrested ......"
"The Great Prison Temple?" Jin Ling'er's eyes showed a little strangeness, and she couldn't help but recall the scene when she was trapped in the Great Zhou military camp in Hanhan Valley Pass, and recalled the lascivious little ...... who called her Sister Jin
Is that thief on the street right now?
Well, most likely, although the thief is still only Shaoqing of the Great Prison Temple, it is said that the Emperor of the Great Zhou and Kong Wen of the Great Prison Temple have a lot of respect for him......
Majestic, thief!
Scold!
I don't know what I thought, Jin Ling'er showed a slight smile on her face, and she only saw everyone in the room looking at each other.
"Big sister? Eldest sister? ”
"Huh?" Jin Ling'er woke up like a dream, glanced at the strange eyes of everyone in the room, coughed lightly, and asked, "Have you ever found out where those people on the street want to transfer the bodies of Qian Zhong, Sun Xing and others?" ”
"This ......" the assassin hesitated, shook his head, and said with a guilty face, "The streets are full of guards from the Patrol Division, and the younger brother doesn't dare to get too close to ......"
Jin Ling'er frowned when she heard this, and was about to stand up, when suddenly, a hand was on her arm.
"Sister, I'll go! The confrontation between us and the Dongling gang has not completely ended, and if there is no eldest sister, we will definitely lose...... Eldest sister, let's rest here! "The one who spoke was an assassin with a resolute face and a slightly fierce eyes, called Xiao Li, known as him, and he was also a first-class master in the dangerous building.
"But......" Jin Ling'er frowned and looked at the strip of cloth wrapped around Xiao Li's right waist, looking at the faint blood red on the strip of cloth.
Xiao Li smiled heartily and said with a big grin, "Don't worry, eldest sister, it's just a skin injury!" ”
Beside him, Xu Jie, who is known as him, clasped his fists and said, "Big" "Sister, I will go with Xiao Li, so that I can take care of it!" ”
Jin Ling'er nodded when she heard this.
Seeing this, Xiao Li picked up a bunch of people's clothes, walked to the inner room with Xu Jie, and when they came out again, the two of them were already dressed as ordinary people.
Glancing deeply at the two of them, Jin Ling'er whispered, "Be careful!" Don't get too close to those officers and soldiers......"
Xiao Li and Xu Jie nodded, pushed the door and walked out of the house.
And taking this opportunity, Jin Ling'er continued to close her eyes and recuperate, after all, in the battle last night, she was almost alone in the end, blocking the steady stream of reinforcements from the patrol division of Weiwei Temple. Both her energy and physical strength were so badly depleted that before she knew it, she was dozing.
I don't know how long it took, Jin Ling'er suddenly heard a bang, when she subconsciously opened her eyes. saw Xu Jie rushing into the house with a shocked face, and said eagerly, "Sister, it's not good, something happened, Xiao Li was arrested!" ”
Jin Ling'er was shocked when she heard this, sat up, and saw Xu Jie panting, raised her hand and shouted. "Don't be in a hurry, tell me in detail! What's going on? ”
Xu Jie showed a little wry smile on his face when he heard this, and said astringently, "The two younger brothers were originally mixed in the onlookers, watching coldly, to see where those people were transporting the bodies of our brothers, and suddenly I saw two ministers of the court and the central government discussing there, because they were far apart. I didn't hear what the two were talking about. Xiao Li pushed aside the crowd and approached the two senior officials, wanting to eavesdrop on what the two of them were saying...... But somehow the horse's feet were exposed, and one of the two senior officials was very powerful, and Xiao Li turned around and fled, but saw the man pick up a stone from the ground. With a flick of his hand, he hit Xiao Li's waist wound, Xiao Li fell to the ground, and was captured by a guard from the Patrol Division......"
Jin Ling'er was anxious and angry when she heard this, and slapped the armrest of the chair with an angry face. He scolded hatefully, "Didn't the old lady tell you two to be careful, and Hugh should get too close to the officers and soldiers?" ”
Xu Jie lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.
Seeing this, Jin Ling'er stood up, paced a few steps in the room with an anxious face, and asked in a deep voice, "Xu Jie, where was Xiao Li arrested?" ”
"It seems to be the ...... of the patrol division of Weiwei Temple," Xu Jie said while wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
"The patrol division of Weiwei Temple......" Jin Ling'er muttered to herself, feeling very anxious.
It's no wonder, you must know that the Patrol Division of the Weiwei Temple lost hundreds of guards last night, and now that Xiao Li has fallen into the hands of these people, it is not difficult to guess that he will be treated so cruelly.
Suddenly, Jin Ling'er's heart moved, she turned her head to look at Xu Jie, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you know who the two big officials you just said are?" ”
"The younger brother has investigated this matter clearly," Xu Jie nodded, and said, "The older one is Xun Zheng, the Qingqing of Weiwei Temple, and the younger one is the Shaoqing of the Great Prison Temple, called Xie An......" "The Secret of Chapter 15 of the General is the little thief?"
"......" Jin Ling'er's eyes couldn't help but show a little joy, and the anxious mood in her heart gradually receded.
Seeing this, Jin Ling'er didn't say anything, Xu Jie said anxiously, "Eldest sister, those people have searched for the sign of my dangerous building from Xiao Li, if you don't save him as soon as possible, I'm afraid I ......."
"You say...... Xiao Li's identity has been revealed, has it? ”
"Exactly!"
"Huh!" Under the stunned gaze of Xu Jie and everyone in the room, Jin Ling'er slowly sat back on the chair and said calmly, "If this is the case, although Xiao Li will have to bear it."
The flesh and skin are painful, but there is no danger to life...... He will definitely secretly shelter Xiao Li's bastard! ”
"Huh?" Everyone in the room looked at Jin Ling'er in surprise, not understanding the meaning of her words.
It's no wonder, after all, the assassins of the dangerous building who knew about the ambiguous relationship between Jin Ling'er and Xie An either returned to Jinling, or built a village hundreds of miles east of Jidong, I don't know the specifics.
"Okay, in short, Xiao Li's little life, someone has to protect the old lady, the top priority at the moment is how to deal with the patrol guards to search and arrest from house to house......"
Hearing Jin Ling'er's words, an assassin from the dangerous building hesitated and said, "Eldest sister, junior brother thinks that he should get in touch with Tai Li Wei, he is a court prince, and his power is monstrous, as long as he speaks, it will be easy to remove the guards on the street, I am afraid it will be easy......
As soon as the words fell, Xu Jie lowered his voice and said, "Eldest sister, junior brother always feels that Li Wei is borrowing the hand of the Dongling assassin to force the eldest sister to submit to ......."
"What do you mean?"
"Sister, do you want to...... A few months ago, Li Wei asked the eldest sister to kill Li Shou and Xie An, but the eldest sister stopped halfway for some reason, and did not contact Li Wei after that...... The younger brother guessed that the reason why Li Wei hired the Dongling assassin was to force the eldest sister to show up and force the eldest sister to compromise with him! "Xu Jie is worthy of being called, analyzing the head of the land is the way, and his brain is more than a little more active than the rest of the assassins in the house.
"Li Wei?" Jin Ling'er's eyes faintly showed a little ruthlessness, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Dare to calculate the old lady...... Balls! ”
Listening to Jin Ling'er's gnashing teeth, Xu Jie secretly swallowed his saliva and asked tentatively, "That's ...... Does the eldest sister still want to cooperate with Li Wei? ”
"......" glanced at Xu Jie, Jin Ling'er showed a little hesitation on her face, and thought for a while. "I've boarded the thief ship, and it's not easy to think about it again...... That's it, tonight, the old lady will go to the East Palace in person to see what Li Wei is planning! ”
The assassins in the house glanced at each other. Silent.
meanwhile
"Bold, really bold!" "General Wife" stood on the cross street, looking at the dangerous building assassin named Xiao Li being escorted to the Weiwei Temple by a guard from the Patrol Division, Weiwei Temple Qing Xun Zheng shook his head and scolded, "I committed such a serious crime last night, killing more than 100 soldiers of my Weiwei Temple, and I still dare to walk on the streets of Jijing in a grand manner!" Outrageous! ”
"......" Xie An glanced at Xun Zheng when he heard this.
Hey!
What is that guy, he broke into the palace drunk last night and made a big fuss in the Taihe Palace. The master who injured countless guards in the northern army of Guanglu Temple is now standing beside you Brother Xun openly......
Glancing at Chen Bei beside him, Xie Anxin said secretly.
Xun Zheng didn't have the ability to read minds, so naturally he couldn't hear Xie An's heart, turned around and arched his hand to Chen Bei, and said with a smile, "Thanks to Brother Chen this time!" ”
Because he had just been warned by Xie An's eyes, Chen Bei did not return the salute with his fists this time. He just nodded, his expression rather cold. This made Xun Zheng a little embarrassed.
Seeing this, Xie An hurriedly explained, "Little brother, this cousin is not good at words, Brother Xun is not strange!" ”
"Oh, that's ......" Xun Zheng smiled relievedly, and then looked at Xie An. said, "Brother, brother will first go back to the Weiwei Temple to interrogate that person, and then transfer this person to the Great Prison Temple......
Let's be honest. Weiwei Temple does not have the right to interrogate, but this does not mean that Weiwei Temple cannot interrogate prisoners, you must know that the Weiwei Temple Patrol Division arrests countless ruffians and hooligans every year, if they are handed over to the Great Prison Temple for interrogation every time, then officials like Xie An and other Great Prison Temples do not have to do anything else.
To put it bluntly, the so-called Weiwei Temple is aimed at the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty who committed crimes, or the brothers of the family who have a backstage, for example, a certain family father, or the nephew of a certain official is drunk and makes trouble on the street, and is captured by the guards of the patrol division of the Weiwei Temple, and the Weiwei Temple has no right to interrogate the brother, otherwise, the family of the brother-in-law can go to the Yushitai and sue the Weiwei Temple for abuse of lynching; On the other hand, if a ruffian is drunk and makes trouble on the street, even if Weiwei Temple tortures him, who will have enough to support him and complain to Yushitai for this?
All in all, it's tacit.
And for Xie An at the moment, he actually didn't want Weiwei Temple to interrogate the dangerous assassin first, and he didn't have to think about it to know that given that hundreds of people died in the Patrol Division of Weiwei Temple yesterday, the guards of the Patrol Division would definitely use heavy punishment to force that person to confess.
It's not that Xie An can't get used to this kind of thing, the problem is that that person is a person from Jinling Dangerous Tower, and he is Jin Ling'er's companion......
However, Xie An didn't want Xun Zheng to hand over that person directly to the Great Prison Temple, after all, Xun Zheng had a good relationship with him, and it was really unreasonable for him to not give Xun a positive face like this.
Therefore, Xie An could only watch Xun Zheng take the assassin of the dangerous building to the Weiwei Temple.
"Alas, the "entertainment show" has a headache! Xie An pinched the bridge of his nose with a tired face.
Seeing this, Chen Bei was a little puzzled, and said with a strange face, "Brother, you don't seem to be happy to catch a person who caused trouble last night?" ”
"......" Xie An glanced at Chen Bei when he heard this, he was angry and funny in his heart, looked left and right, led Chen Bei into an alley blocked by officers and soldiers at both ends, drank back the surrounding guards, and asked Chen Bei in a low voice, "Uncle, tell me the truth, how did you think of breaking into the palace yesterday?" ”
Chen Bei's expression was a little embarrassed, and he had been planning for a long time, and said, "For my brother, I heard that the palace is heavily guarded and the masters are like clouds, so I think about it as a brother, and then ......."
"And then it's going to be action, right?" Xie An rolled his eyes angrily, and then said with a straight face, "Uncle, it's not the younger brother who said you, you are so reckless and trespassing into the palace, it is really a hundred harms and no benefits!" In case anyone learns that the person who broke into the palace is the former Liangqiu family...... How do you call the Liangqiu family in Donggongfu? ”
Hearing Xie An's words, Chen Bei was shocked, and his face couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
"Yesterday, did anyone ever see the appearance of the eldest brother?" Xie An asked with a frown.
At this time, Chen Bei also realized that he had almost caused an extremely bad impact on the Liang Qiu family on a whim, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "When I played with my brother and the Northern Army guards in my brother's mouth, I was already sober for most of the wine, and I was also covered with my face...... I dare to guarantee that no one will see what my brother looks like! ”
"Huh?" Xie An was stunned when he heard this, and asked in amazement, "What was the eldest brother doing before the wine dissipated?" ”
He originally thought that Chen Bei was drunk to make a big fuss in the Taihe Palace, but now that he heard Chen Bei's words, it was not like that.
"Sleeping on the roof of a large hall...... Chen Bei said innocently.
Basilica......
It should be the Taihe Temple, right?
Good guy, after infiltrating the palace, he actually slept on the roof of the Taihe Hall of the Great Zhou Tian Routine Court Meeting?
This uncle of mine is really a master of art and boldness!
Hey?
Wait......
As if thinking of something, Xie An asked with a strange expression, "Eldest brother didn't think about making trouble in the palace before?" ”
Chen Bei looked at Xie An with a puzzled expression and said, "What are you doing to make trouble in the palace for your brother?" ”
"For example, take the opportunity to assassinate today......"
"The palace is so big, and I don't know where the Great Zhou Emperor is, how can I assassinate him?"
Seeing that Chen Bei's expression did not seem to be fake, Xie Anxin was surprised and asked in wonder, "Then ...... Then why did you fight with the guards of the Northern Army in the palace? ”
As soon as the words fell, even Chen Bei's eyes became a little more solemn, and he looked at Xie An and whispered, "I was discovered!" ”
"Discovered? Guarded by the Northern Army in the palace? ”
"Nope! It's not the pawns! Chen Bei shook his head, raised his right hand and lifted his clothes, revealing the strong muscles in his left waist and abdomen, and to Xie An's consternation, Chen Bei's waist and abdomen actually had an extremely obvious bruise.
Looking at the bruise, Xie An gasped in a cold sweat, it was unbelievable.
Chen Bei's force, he knows it too well, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the best in the world, but what he didn't expect was that there was a hidden figure in the palace who could hurt this peerless warrior.
"Who?"
Chen Bei shook his head, frowned and said, "I don't know for my brother, I only know that one person uses a sword, one person uses a halberd, and one person is unarmed......"
"Three?"
"Hmm! If my brother is not mistaken, these three people are similar in force to their cousin......"
"Dance? Similar to dance? Xie An's eyes widened in shock.
"Oh, yes!" As if remembering something, Chen Bei said in a low voice, "Brother Wei once heard those soldiers in the palace shouting those three people ......"
Consecrate?
Offerings in the Northern Army?
Haven't heard of it......
Thinking of this, Xie An glanced at Chen Bei.
Having said that, he was able to get out of the hands of the three Northern Army worshippers who were similar in force and dance, and escaped from the palace over the wall......
Uncle, you're such a monster! )
