Parting of Ways9 verse 47
In the forty-seventh section, Xiahou Tianqing had slowly stabilized, and he hurriedly said, "Fei'er, listen to me." But when he saw the other party standing sideways on the side, he didn't move. My heart is also cold, knowing that the other party is angry, I can only coax after a while, and it seems that there is still room for turnaround. He waved his hand and said to the pot-bellied merchant next to him, "Boss Jin, go upstairs and bring that Ah Zhi down for me." ”
"Yes." Boss Jin replied in a trembling voice. He can't wait to slap himself with two big ears now. Take care of yourself and let that Lin Xiaoshui write an IOU. But this is not to blame for being greedy, Lin Yinghuan was assassinated, then Lin Xiaoshui has no power and power, so he just used this IOU to make some trouble. As the saying goes, "a skinny camel is bigger than a horse", and there are always some valuable things in a forest mansion. The most unfortunate thing, Lin Xiaoshui's concubine, but she is famous in Kyoto, and selling it to those old bustards who hook the fence is also a lot of income. Knowing that the abacus has not yet started, he was targeted by the fifth son of the Li family, although he is the Xiahou family in the background, but the Li family must not be offended.
It's just that the Lin family seems to have a backstage, and this is not right, and it can't be found. If this continues to be tossed, I am afraid that my small gambling house will really have to be demolished by this group of old warriors. It seems that we businessmen should interfere less in these official things, otherwise it would really be "can't eat and cause a commotion". Although he thought so in his heart, he had already taken the two big men into the back room and brought the Ah Zhi out.
Lei Fei'er glanced at Ah Zhi and saw that the other party's face was pale, his sideburns were slanted, and his whole body was disheveled. His heart was even more angry, and he glanced at Li Zhong, who was standing aside with a strange face, and was about to speak, when a loud long howl suddenly came out from upstairs.
As soon as the whistle fell, I saw two figures, one black and one white, rising into the sky. At this time, the twilight was deep, and even the lanterns in the hands of the four big men were blown by the wind, and the lights were looming. This long howl shocked people's hearts, and their minds were clear. Lei Feier looked at the two rabbits and cranes on the eaves. But he was a little emotional, he had long heard that Wu Ming had reached the eighth stage, and he didn't believe it before, but he was able to fight with Xiahou Ba like this, it seems that most of the rumors are true.
She sighed a lot there, but Wu Ming was complaining, this Xiahou Ba was at least a late eighth stage, and it may even have reached the ninth stage. He now seems to be attacking and defending with him, but in fact, the other party is beginning to test the truth and reality, and the long howl just now is exactly what Xiahou Ba is excited to fight and let out a murderous aura. As the governor of the north, this Xiahou Ba is really not a good character. After fighting for a while, Wu Ming only felt that the other party's true qi was rolling like a knife, and every move seemed to have a fierce murderous aura. When I raised my hands and feet, the howling wind blew people's skin painfully. He could only cheer up and flicker in the shadow of the other party's palms and legs. It's just that going on like this is not a good way after all, and it is the best policy to find a way to get out. Before he knew it, sweat was pouring out, and his back was soaked.
Chixiao was tied around his waist, and he definitely didn't dare to pull it out. Otherwise, his identity will be exposed. Tomorrow's confrontation may be a branch for the peace talks. It's just that without the help of Chixiao, Wu Ming gradually felt powerless against this Xiahou Ba, and he would definitely be captured alive by the other party if he continued like this.
He was anxious here, and suddenly heard Xiahou Ba interrupt again: "Good skill, try to take my palm again." ”
Wu Ming was taken aback, and saw that Xiahou Tian was not at his feet, pushing his palms flatly, and a mountain of great force had already surged from between the opponent's palms. Now that my life is at stake, I can't care about revealing my identity. His feet were wrong, and his body turned suddenly, like a golden whirlwind on the ground, a golden light flashed, and the power of the earth suddenly activated. Raise your hands, push your palms flat, and meet it.
There was a loud "boom", and the two palms touched. A loud bang came out immediately, and it was like a muffled thunder on the ground, shaking the entire night sky a few times. The tiles and beams were all scattered and scattered. Wu Ming only felt a sharp energy pass through the opponent's palm, and hit the heart along both hands. He was startled, and he couldn't care about stabilizing his body anymore, and tried his best to resist the invading alien true qi.
This time he was even more wolf, and his body suddenly flew upside down like a kite with a broken string and fell on the roof of the second floor. I just feel uncomfortable in my heart. A stream of blood rushed up his throat, apparently injured.
Lei Fei'er was suddenly frightened, and let out an exclamation of "ah". Wu Ming got up from the ground with a disgraced face, glanced at Lei Fei'er below, and saw that the other party was safe and sound, and immediately relieved his heart. It seems that Lei Fei'er is right, Li Tie and the others definitely don't dare to offend the forces of Cangsong Pavilion at present.
The front yard was suddenly full of people, the fire was shining, and faintly, countless people shouted and poured from outside. It's no wonder that making such a loud noise and making such a big battle will definitely not turn a deaf ear to these gamblers, no matter how addicted they are. That Boss Jin was crying loudly at this time: "You four, don't stay here, quickly maintain order, quickly maintain order." "This time for him, it's really a loss to his grandmother's family.
Wu Mingna had the leisure to take care of these, showing his body, and going up and down a few times on the roof. His body suddenly turned into a puff of white smoke and gradually disappeared.
Xiahou Ba put his hands behind his back and waited for Wu Ming to go far before jumping down from above. Xiahou Tian and Li Zhong stepped forward at the same time, and Xiahou Tian stood still, staying behind Xiahou Ba without saying a word. Li Zhong couldn't help it a little, and said, "Uncle, that kid is obviously Wu Ming, why don't you keep him?" ”
Xiahou Ba glanced at Lei Fei'er, who was standing not far away, pulling Ah Zhi and asking there, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "Sometimes, everyone is separated by a layer of paper, isn't it more fun?" It's not beautiful to poke it. He turned his head and shouted to Xiahou Tian, who was bowing down and standing behind him: "Xiaotian, you were too careless this time, why don't you go and apologize to Miss Lei soon." ”
Xiahou Tian's lips trembled, his face was like ashes, and he dared to fight back, but he just bowed his head and said, "Yes." ”
Xiahou Ba put his hands behind his back, looked at the dark night sky, suddenly raised his eyebrows, his eyes were full of murder, and said in a low voice: "I will definitely avenge this murderous son, but for the time being, let your kid get away for a few days." ”
※※※ "Knock, knock, knock-" The melodious and magnificent bell of the opening of the dynasty sounded in the imperial city of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Although it is still so solemn and long. But after nearly a thousand years of tempering, the sound of the bell has become a little old and desolate.
Since Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty was poisoned by Concubine Qing, the entire imperial city fell silent. Without that majesty and traffic. In the past, those concubines were even more trembling in the palace under such circumstances, walking on thin ice. I was afraid that if I was not careful, the disaster would come out of my mouth and become the second concubine. The entire imperial city lacks the backbone of the emperor, like a pool of stagnant water.
Stepping on the yellow bricks as delicate as fish scales in the imperial city, watching the civil and military officials rushing in, listening to the long bells echoing throughout the imperial city. Wu Ming couldn't help but feel a little emotional, covered his chest that was a little stuffy, followed everyone, and walked towards the Qinzheng Hall step by step.
The Qinzheng Hall was built in the middle of the entire imperial city, and it was the place where the civil and military officials were in the early dynasty. Outside the main hall, there were ninety-nine steps, and Wu Ming followed the officials all the way up from this step. Looking from the bottom up, the entire Qinzheng Hall is also majestic, like a heavenly immortal palace, but Wu Ming knows that these are just superficial phenomena. If it weren't for this discussion of the new dynasty, I'm afraid this diligent palace would have to be depressed forever.
Now the northern provinces, except for the three northwestern provinces, the other provinces are under Li Tie's control. Even Tang Ziou, although Li Tie respects him very much on the surface, he just does not restrict his freedom of movement, and the appointment and dismissal of officials and the like still have to pass through Li Tie, which Wu Ming already knew last night.
Ninety-nine steps, after a while, Wu Ming raised his head, looked at the golden light on the main hall "Qinzheng Palace", and then sighed, the whole body was dressed and walked in.
"Kaichao." The master of ceremonies and eunuchs shouted in a hoarse voice. The civil and military officials bowed at the same time, knelt three times and bowed nine times to the empty lord above, and then discussed the current situation.
Wu Ming stood next to Tang Ziou. The Eastern Han Dynasty stipulated that if there was no special summoning for court deliberations, officials below the third rank would not have a chance to enter the palace. According to the grade, Wu Ming definitely has no chance to go to court now. But he is now the acting commander of the guard battalion recognized by the Southern Xianzhuang Niangniang, and he is also the envoy of the southern peace talks. Tang Ziou pulled him to his side, but no one said anything.
Wu Ming's subordinates were a large group of civil officials. These people were all cowering, and they didn't dare to say a word. He couldn't help but feel uneasy, like this, how can he discuss it? On the opposite side, there stood a large group of military attachés. Among them, Xiahou Ba, who had a fight with him last night, was in the ranks, and he was standing below Li Tie and was also looking at Wu Ming. Wu Ming looked at it, and the two happened to look at each other. Wu Ming only felt a "snort", and something seemed to be ignited in the air. He quickly turned his head and looked down.
Under him, there was also a thin old man in good spirits, who was looking at him with a sneer on his face. Wu Ming was dizzy for a while, and he also had the impression that this person was the old son of Zhao Fei, the former White Tiger team, and Zhao Wuneng, the governor of Northeast Road. Further down, there is Li Wei, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Yan Kai, the secretary of the Criminal Department. Both of them are the heads of a generation, but they both stand there upright, and they can't see their specific expressions.
To Wu Ming's surprise, Yiguan, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, was also standing in the queue of military attachés, and it seemed that after Li Tie's coup d'état, he had clearly stood in line and supported Li Tie.
Wu Ming couldn't intervene in the matter of peace talks. Wu Ming listened to these officials, titles, territorial divisions, official positions, etc., let alone let him bargain with Li Tie. Fortunately, there is still a Tang Ziou, otherwise, Wu Ming would not know how to proceed.
Later, it almost became Tang Ziou and Li Tie in the main hall, you ask me to answer, I ask and you answer. Or a loud quarrel. Looking at the trembling old man beside him, listening to the sound of him coughing from time to time, and then glancing at the trembling civil officials below, Wu Ming only felt a burst of sadness.
