Chapter 43—The Second Day of Astonishment (8)

Thinking back to his brother Li Wei's instructions, the fifth prince Li Cheng returned to his mansion on the west side of Zhengyang Street.

As soon as he stepped into the hall of the main house, all the warblers and warblers in the hall who were thinly dressed immediately surrounded him enthusiastically, and even pulled Li Cheng's clothes like coquettishness.

"Your Highness is back...... Your Highness can tell some of the slaves to wait......"

"Yes, His Highness is not here, and some people in the slave family are suffocated......"

Looking at these beautiful women with messy clothes and spring faces, one can't help but feel as if they are in a fairyland on earth.

What is called Jiuchi Meat Forest, what is called drunken gold fan, if Xie An is here at the moment, he will most likely be envious and jealous to death, after all, the extravagance in the life of the fifth prince Li Cheng is exactly what he Xie An dreamed of.

I have to say that among the sons of the Son of Heaven Li Ji, I am afraid that he is the only one who is the most carefree, who calls people to have a good brother who is the prince of the East Palace?

It may be that there is no way to be entangled by the attendants, Li Cheng, who has something in his heart, showed a little smile on his face, raised his hand and said, "Okay, okay, His Royal Highness still has something to do now...... When I'm done with business, I'll play with you again! As he spoke, he reached out and wiped a handful on the chest of one of the maids, causing the maid to flush and giggle.

Getting out of the hall, Li Cheng walked alone towards a huge mansion on the southeast side of his house, before entering the house, he looked around, and saw that there was no one around, so he pushed the door and walked in.

The light in the big room is not very sufficient, and you can vaguely see that a strong man with a height of more than nine feet is bare-chested, wielding a huge big knife vigorously.

This person is the boss of the [Hongshan Four Hidden Blades] among the Dongling Assassins. The top assassin of the Great Zhou, [Barbarian Bone] Di Bu, it is said that the giant knife in his hand weighs more than 300 catties, and this arm strength, even if you look at the entire Great Zhou, I am afraid that few can match it, it can really be described as a death and bruising.

Speaking of which, this Dibu is an outlier among the Assassins. He was not so much an assassin as a general.

This man has no hidden whereabouts at all, and the way he accomplishes his mission is to kill the target and the people who stand in his way, regardless of whether or not they leave a trace.

"Di Zhuangshi's arm strength is still breathtaking!" Clapped his hands. Li Cheng walked over slowly and praised him.

"......" Na Dibu glanced at Li Cheng when he heard this, let go of the giant knife in his hand, and heard a bang, the giant knife fell on the green bricks in the house, and smashed the green bricks on the ground.

"Dibu, I've seen the Fifth Highness!" Got down on one knee and clenched his fists. Di Bu said angrily.

"Di Zhuangshi, please get up ......" With a slap of his right hand, Li Cheng walked to the giant knife, bent down and lifted it, but found that the knife was as heavy as ten thousand catties. He shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly, straightened up, and wiped the oil, sweat, and dirt on the hilt of his hand with his sleeve. Said slowly, "How are Di Zhuang having a good time in His Highness's Mansion these days?" ”

Dibu nodded. He said in a deep voice, "Thanks to the Fifth Highness, the warm hospitality of our brothers, whether it is good wine or beauty, all of them are satisfied...... Speaking of this, he raised his head and said with a somewhat inexplicable expression, "It's just that Your Highness...... When His Highness recruited us before, he said that he wanted us to help His Highness create an earth-shattering cause, but until now, I have not seen any hint of the beginning of the great cause in His Highness's mouth......"

Li Cheng smiled slightly, and was about to speak, when suddenly, there was a burst of laughter behind the pillars in the room.

Li Cheng turned his head to look and saw a man dressed like a son-in-law gently shaking a paper fan and looking at him with a smile.

[Shadow Snake] Gou Gong, the second of the four hidden knives in Hongshan, proficient in knife skills and poison, seems to be gentle and elegant, but in fact is a poisonous snake that spits letters, it is said that the prey he targeted, no one has ever escaped.

Among the Four Hidden Blades, this person is mainly responsible for spying on intelligence and finishing matters afterwards, and does not personally act unless necessary.

"Although His Royal Highness uses fine wine and beauties to raise me and other brothers, but seeing the infinite scenery of the girls in Jinling Dangerous Building in Jijing, I and other brothers can't hold it back, Your Highness, when will such a boring day be a head? - Right, third? As he said this, Gou Gong glanced up at the beams.

Following Gou Gong's line of sight to look at the beams of the house, Li Cheng found that on the beams of the big house, at some point, there was a man dressed in black and covered with a black cloth on his face, with a scythe in his right hand, looking at him inexplicably.

[Sickle] Mo Fei, the third of the four hidden knives in Hongshan.

Looking at the man, a name popped into Li Cheng's mind.

As far as Li Cheng knows, this Mo Fei can be said to be a complete murderer, good at making a pair of iron rope sickles, he doesn't talk much on weekdays, but he has killed a lot of people, not tens of thousands but thousands, it is said that he once killed a 500-person encirclement army alone, and he is the one who bears the most lives among the four hidden knives, and even, the people killed by the remaining three people of the Hongshan Four Hidden Knives are added together, I am afraid that there are not as many murderers as this murderer.

You must know that on the night when Dongling and the dangerous building fought, it was this [sickle] Mo Fei who dragged the [ghost queen] Jin Ling'er, one of the four concubines, causing the dangerous building assassin to almost lose to the Dongling assassin.

And in most cases in normal times, [sickle] Mo Fei is also the real executor of taking orders to kill, after all, compared to the boss Di Bu, he is a real assassin, his agility is not even below Jin Ling'er, and he is the number one dangerous person in the four hidden knives of Hongshan.

And just when Li Cheng was secretly thinking about how to speak, there was a crackling sound of abacus in the big room, and when he looked around, he saw that in the corner of the house, there was a man dressed like a foot merchant, holding an abacus in one hand and gesturing with the other, sweating profusely.

"The second brother is a little restless, but the younger brother thinks it's okay to be so leisurely...... The eldest brother has to drink more than ten jars every day, the second brother has to summon several Meiji people every day, and the third brother has ...... Wait for the little brother to calculate, tsk, this is amazing......" While speaking, the man crackled the abacus in his hand, and said with a panicked face, "It seems that on such days, even if we take orders and kill people every day, I'm afraid I won't be able to enjoy it for a few days, and the wine that the eldest brother drinks is the imperial tribute." The beauty that the second brother slept with is also a palace maid in the palace...... But then again, even though my brother and I have been doing nothing for a few days, the price still has to be calculated, right, Fifth Highness? -- The villain thinks that the wealthy Fifth Highness doesn't account for this little money, right? Right? ”

[Fortune ghost] Qian Xi. The fourth of the Hongshan Four Hidden Knives, the most in his life, is the weakest in the four hidden knives, and most of the people do not come forward to accept commissions on weekdays, but are in charge of the money and expenses of the Dongling Assassin Pavilion. Despite his ordinary-looking appearance, he was harmless, but in fact, he was the most unethical of the Dongling Assassins, and would sometimes kill his employer after the commission was over, because he was greedy for his employer's belongings. Roll up his belongings in the house.

Thanks to him, the reputation of the Dongling Assassin within the Assassins is quite bad, and it is simply the negative teaching material of the Jinling Weilou Assassin Inn, and it is precisely because of this. There are fewer and fewer employers who dare to hire Dongling Assassins, which makes the Shandong Hongshan Assassins have a dilemma like a mountain and water, and the business is not as prosperous as the Jinling Assassins.

Looking at the sneering look on Qian Xi's face, Li Cheng chuckled. said indifferently, "Mr. Qian is too worried." Since His Highness has hired you and others, he will naturally pay you fully, no matter what happens during the period......

Qian Xi's face was happy when he heard this, and he held the abacus and said again and again, "With the words of the Fifth Highness, the villain is relieved...... Your Highness, look at the villain, how can such a noble person as Your Highness owe us the remuneration of our brothers? -- Sin deserves death, sin deserves death! ”

Qian Xi here shook his hand vigorously, and Di Bu, the boss of the Dongling assassins over there, frowned, and said unhappily, "Fourth, shut up for me!" ”

Hearing this, Qian Xi hurriedly covered his mouth and stepped aside, but saw Di Bu take a deep look at Li Cheng, frowned and said, "Your Highness came to see me today, could it be that you have something serious?" ”

Rao is Li Chenggui's younger brother of Li Wei, the crown prince of the East Palace, and now he is under heavy pressure from Di Bu, his heart is slightly shocked, and his breathing can't help but speed up slightly, after taking a slight breath, he said with a light smile, "That's the case, a few days ago, His Royal Highness Di Zhuangshi Tuoben inquired about the remains of the brothers who died in Dongling, and His Royal Highness has ascertained that the remains of all the brothers are now placed in the morgue of the patrol department of Weiwei Temple......

"......" Di Bu's eyes widened when he heard this, his eyes showed a little essence, he hugged his fist to Li Cheng, and said in a deep voice, "Thank you, Your Highness!" -- Tonight, let me go out of the house and take back the bones of all the brothers!"

Hearing this, Li Cheng couldn't help but think of the instructions of the crown prince Li Wei, shook his head, and said deliberately, "Don't worry, Your Highness thinks it's better not to go......

"What do you mean, Your Highness?" There was a hint of displeasure in Dibu's eyes.

Seeing this, Li Cheng smiled slightly, and said lightly, "Brother Di Zhuangshi has stayed in His Royal Highness's mansion for the past few days, and has never left the mansion, so I don't know...... Di Zhuang thought that how did His Highness learn about this news? ”

“……”

"It's not a secret, it's the news that Weiwei Temple deliberately released! ――It is not difficult to guess that Weiwei Temple deliberately wanted to use the bones of the sacrificed brothers in Dongling to induce Brother Di Zhuangshi and others to catch them all! - Especially the eighth Li Xian, in order to clear his suspicions, this guy has repeatedly suggested that Weiwei Temple use the bones of the sacrificed brothers in Dongling to lure you to take the bait...... And if you can't wait to come forward, you will crush the bones of those who sacrificed their brothers and scatter them to ashes, so that they will not be completely ......"

"He dares!" When Di Bu heard this, he was furious, and he stepped on his right foot heavily, only to hear a bang, and one of the solid green bricks on the ground was shattered by his stepping powder.

"Eighth? The Eighth Prince Li Xian? [Shadow Snake] Gou Gong shook the paper fan in his hand when he heard this, and said with a smile, "On the day of the Shangyuan Festival, didn't that girl from Jin Ling'er go to assassinate Li Xian?" - How? Missed? - Hey, like that useless chick, why does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince value it so much? It's puzzling! If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had called the third child to go, he would have already succeeded! His face was full of schadenfreude.

In fact, Li Cheng knew very well that he knew very well that his elder brother Li Wei, the crown prince, did not have the intention of asking Jin Ling'er to kill Li Xian at that time, after all, Li Xian was also a prince, and his prestige was not low, and the price of assassinating him in a grand manner was a little heavy

Heavy, it is very likely to provoke the complaints of the ministers of the court, and the best way to deal with [the Eight Sages King] Li Xian is to make him ruined, and because of this, the crown prince Li Wei wants to blame Li Xian for the assassination of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department and the Shilang of the Criminal Department.

But right now, Li Cheng was also willing to follow [Shadow Snake] Gou Gong's tone, and after sighing lightly, he shook his head and said, "His Highness can't figure out this matter, in His Highness's opinion." Like Jin Ling'er and other female streamers, that is better than the heroes and heroes of Dongling on the ground? - It's a pity that the prince's brother seems to be quite serious about that chick......"

[Shadow Snake] Gou Gong smiled when he heard this, and said in a strange voice, "His Royal Highness the Prince, could it be that you have taken a fancy to that chick?" ”

"Won't it?" Qian Xi's face changed slightly, and he said strangely, "Jin Ling'er's face is full of scars, and she is very ugly, like such a woman." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would take a fancy to it? ”

"Maybe that can do it in bed!" [Shadow Snake] Gou Gong said with a lewd smile.

Seeing that these two people were actually joking with their brother, Li Cheng was a little unhappy in his heart, and frowned and said, "In short, His Highness means. Heroes better not throw themselves into the net......"

"Your Highness means that I will wait and watch the sacrificed brothers be crushed and scattered?" The boss of the Hongshan Four Hidden Blades, [brute bones] Di Bu said unhappily.

A bunch of fools, if you want to die, then it's no wonder Your Highness!

With a cold snort in his heart, Li Cheng deliberately frowned and said, "Di Zhuangshi." The lower part of the main hall can be said, it is a trap! -- In order to lure the heroes into throwing themselves into the net! ”

"So what?" Di Bu sneered and said conceitedly, "It's just a Weiwei Temple. I'm not waiting for my brother to pay attention to it! ――Even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, Di Mou has to break through! ――Or does Your Highness think that our Dongling will not even be able to defeat the military service of Weiwei Temple? ”

"What if, what ......if, what if"

looked at Li Cheng's face with a hesitant expression. Dibu raised his hand and said in a deep voice. "Even if we miss and are caught, we will never implicate Your Highness!" Looking at the conceited look on his face, he obviously didn't take Weiwei Temple seriously.

You will not live!

Li Cheng cursed in his heart, deliberately pretending to hesitate, pacing back and forth in the room for a few steps, and then nodded and said, "In this case, the heroes should be careful...... Weiwei Siqing Xun Zheng was bewitched by the old eight this time, and he would definitely arrange a heavy ambush...... Moreover, you heroes should have also heard that the Great Prison Temple and the Weiwei Temple are in the same breath, maybe this time the Weiwei Temple will ask for help from the Great Prison Temple, and Xie An, the Shaoqing of the Great Prison Temple, is the husband of [Yan Hu Ji] Liangqiu Dance! - In other words, the heroes may run into [Yan Hu Ji] Liang Qiu Wu and her [Four Generals of the Eastern Army]! ”

"Yan Hu Ji?" Di Bu frowned and asked curiously, "Will it be better than [Oni Ji] Jin Ling'er?" ”

As soon as the words fell, [Shadow Snake] Gou Gong smiled, shook the fan lightly, licked his lips and said, "It is said that she is a beauty, and what kind of eldest grandson Xiangyu is called [Jijing Shuangbi], like such a beauty, what kind of general, wouldn't it be better to keep it for Uncle Ben's love?" As he spoke, he looked back at the few brothers beside him, smiled and said, "When the time comes, this beauty will be left to me, and the brothers should not fight with the younger brother ......."

Di Bu snorted lightly, squatted on the beam of the house, and Mo Fei didn't say a word from beginning to end, as for Qian Xi, he was sweating profusely and calculating, not knowing what he was calculating.

"Now that the heroes have made up their minds, His Royal Highness will no longer persuade you more, I just hope that you will be careful, and it doesn't hurt to kill some people, but don't make too much noise, otherwise, Your Highness and the prince's brother will not be able to wait for you to deal with the aftermath!"

After a few words, Li Cheng turned around and left, walked to the study, picked up a pen and wrote a letter, and the payment was in the name of the crown prince Li Wei.

After writing it, Li Cheng summoned his henchmen and instructed, "Submit this letter to the Liangqiu family of the Donggong Mansion and hand it over to Xie An, the Shaoqing of the Great Prison Temple, there must be no mistakes!" ”

The guard nodded, took the letter and put it in his arms, and rushed out of the mansion towards Liang Qiu's house in the Donggong Mansion.

As for Li Cheng, he went to Zongzheng Temple to report the matter to his brother Li Wei, the crown prince.

Not to mention that Li Cheng arranged everything, reported to the crown prince Li Wei, and said that Xie An returned to the Donggong Mansion.

It stands to reason that Xie An and Liang Qiuwu's wedding date is approaching, and in the days before the marriage, Xie An frequently goes in and out of the Donggong Mansion every day, which is really inappropriate.

But the problem is that Xie An, who is busy every day these days, also wants to find something to relax, for example, ask the concubine Yiyi to pinch your shoulders for you, or take advantage of this little girl or something.

In Xie An's opinion, instead of going back to his mansion and drinking with Su Xin, Li Jing, and Fei Guo, how could Yi Yi serve him happily and comfortably?

Even if Liang Qiu Gong has returned to the Donggong Mansion now, before marriage, Xie An is not good to ask Liang Qiu Wu or Yi Yi's two maids to sleep, but in the end, staying with a beloved woman is always more relieving than staying with a group of men, isn't it?

No, lying on his back on the bed, enjoying the comfort of Yi Yi pinching his shoulders. Xie An only felt indescribably comfortable all over his body.

Looking at Xie An's tired face, Yi Yi couldn't bear to say, "Ann, you look tired today......

"But it's not," Xie An said weakly with a low moan, "I went to Zhengyangmen in the morning to argue with a group of sour Confucians, and then went to Weiwei Temple to investigate the remains of that minister, and then ran to Zongzheng Temple...... I'm exhausted! - Yiyi. Slightly heavier...... Right, right! Yes...... Comfortable, Mai almost didn't break the bone in my shoulder last time......"

"Poof!" I couldn't help laughing, Yi Yi chuckled, and then said melancholy, "The concubine has no ability. Other things can't help Ann, and they can only serve like this, so that Ann can relieve her fatigue......"

"What are you talking about!" Seeing Yiyi's self-pity and self-pity, Xie An turned over, gently pulled Yiyi's arm, pulled her into his arms, and couldn't help but caress her delicate body back and forth with both hands. With a smile in his mouth, he said, "I have always thought that Sister Yiyi is the most intimate and gentle woman, kiss one?" ”

Yi Yi was ashamed and happy when he heard this. lowered his head, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and he was very docile at the mercy of Xie Anshi. Xie An was horny, and his hands became more and more unruly. Intentionally or unintentionally, he teased Yiyi's clothes.

As if sensing something, Yi Yi hurriedly pressed Xie An's hand and said in a low voice, "An, didn't you say that you didn't touch your concubine during this time?" - Since the old lady returned home, the young lady can only keep her distance from An, if the concubine is like this...... It always feels a little cunning......"

Xie An was shocked when he heard this, and then his lust was greatly reduced.

Indeed, since Liang Qiu Gong returned to the Donggong Mansion, Xie An has not touched Liang Qiu Dance again, how is this not a torture for this young couple who have tasted the taste of men and women for the first time?

Xie An will feel uncomfortable, won't Liangqiu dance?

Don't look at Liang Qiuwu's old-fashioned appearance on weekdays, but when she has sex with Xie An, she is far more active than Xie An, in front of this fiery woman, Xie An will never be able to take the initiative, at best, Xie An can only occupy the initiative in the affairs of men and women when he is with Yiyi and the eldest grandson Xiangyu.

But just as the eldest grandson Xiangyu commented on Liangqiu Dance at the beginning, Liangqiu Dance is very tired, and she has too many things to consider, which is far less free and easy than Changsun Xiangyu.

It's like after Liang Qiugong came back, even if she was Liang Qiuwu, the female general of the first combat force of the Great Zhou, she didn't dare to go against Liang Qiugong's will and not have sex with Xie An before marriage, so as not to be criticized by outsiders behind her back.

Because of this, Xie An made an agreement with Yi Yi that before marrying Liang Qiu Wu, he would not touch her again, so as not to make Liang Qiu Wu feel lost, after all, this woman seems to be very aggressive, but in fact she is quite delicate in terms of feelings, and she often feels happy or sad because of Xie An's words.

Thinking of this, Xie An secretly suppressed the desire in his heart and continued to enjoy Yiyi's service.

And at this moment, Liang Qiu Wu wiped her wet hair and walked into the house, which made Xie An feel scared, and secretly glad that Fang Cai didn't do anything with Yi Yi, otherwise, even if Liang Qiu Wu didn't say anything, she would feel a little lost in her heart.

"Washed?" Due to the angle, Xie An tilted his head and squinted his eyes to greet Liang Qiuwu.

In his impression, taking a bath is probably Liang Qiu Wu's biggest hobby, as far as he knows, Liang Qiu Wu has to take several baths a day, wash once in the morning after practicing martial arts, return to the house in the evening to wash once, and wash again after having sex with Xie An, which makes the lazy Xie An breathtaking.

"Hmm!" Liang Qiuwu smiled slightly, wiping his wet hair, and said softly, "After a day of running, you also feel tired, right?" I've asked someone to change the hot water, you go and wash it up, it's sweaty all over your body......"

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to move......" Under Yiyi's service, Xie An only felt an indescribable relaxation and weakness all over his body.

"How is this possible?" Liang Qiuwu frowned and said, "The smell of sweat is so heavy......

"Yes?" Xie An sniffed his armpits, but he couldn't smell them at all.

"Of course, you ask Io?"

Xie An turned his head to look at Yiyi, who lowered his head and chuckled, but did not speak.

Glancing at Liangqiu Wu, and then at Yiyi, Xie Anxin moved, and said with a smile, "Wu, I'm really tired and don't want to move, or will you wash your husband with Yiyi?" ”

"......" Liang Qiuwu's cheeks were slightly red when he heard this, and he said angrily, "What the hell is the idea?" ”

"Why!" Seeing that he was suspected for no reason, Xie An shouted that he was wronged.

Just when Xie An, Liang Qiuwu and Yiyi were teasing and playing, a maid walked in outside the house, holding a letter in her hand, and said respectfully, "Miss, uncle...... Someone just sent a letter, saying that it was for my uncle......"

"Give it to me?" Xie An was stunned and asked in surprise, "Who sent it?" ”

"I don't know...... The man didn't say anything! The maid shook her head.

Yi Yi walked up, took the letter, and handed it to Xie An, who sat up from the bed, only to see Xie An open the letter and look at it roughly, and then his face changed slightly.

"What's wrong, Ann?" Liang Qiuwu asked suspiciously.

Glancing at Liang Qiuwu, Xie An quietly put the letter in his hand into his arms.

"Now, Wu, can I borrow you and the four brothers of the Eastern Army tonight?"

"Huh?"
