A few people climbed to the mountainside, there are two roads, one leads to the back mountain, the other leads to the top of the mountain, bypassing a spotted bamboo forest to reach the pavilion behind the mountain, seeing Xi commanded the two small yellow doors to speed up the pace, leaving Zhao Ta behind.

"Who are you and how did you end up here?" As soon as Zhao Ta walked through the bamboo forest, he heard the scolding of the little yellow door fox fake tiger might, although they had no status in the inner courtyard, but the miscellaneous servants in the outer courtyard were like the sky, and of course they would not be polite when they spoke.

When Zhao Ta heard the scolding, he had more eyes, slowed down his pace and hid in the bamboo forest to look out, only to see that the person was of medium height, with a white face, wearing a short coat and trousers, but with a pair of silk shoes on his feet, he looked like a handyman in the house, but Zhao Ta looked a little familiar, as if he had seen him in the steward's room.

Although Zhao Ta has not yet opened the palace, but because he moved out of the palace to live in another place, it is also equipped with manpower according to the shelf of the palace, the Song Dynasty clan practice Fu has its official and has not been removed, Changshi, Sima, and the counselor to join the army are not permanent, set up Yishan 1 person, Wang You 2 people, and 1 person in the record room to join the army, these people are all nominal characters with grades, belonging to the clan temple, unless there is any major event of marriage and funeral, it will be hurriedly exposed, just eat for nothing, and don't care, Zhao Ta has not seen their face for more than a year out of the palace. In fact, all the affairs of the palace, except for the inner court, which belongs to the inner chamber sent by the palace, are managed by the stewards of the outer court.

"I'm from the house..." The man stammered when he saw the three people suddenly appear, as if he was a little nervous.

"Steward Li, why did you come to the inner courtyard casually without a report, don't you know the rules of the road?" The little yellow men in the inner courtyard didn't know the housekeeper when they went out of the house, but they often dealt with them when they saw Xi, so they naturally knew the third housekeeper, and they also felt weird about his appearance and nondescript dress, and said with a drooping face.

"Xiye, I passed by here, smelled the flowers in the garden, and unconsciously came in to take a look, but I didn't expect to collide with Xiye!" Steward Li bowed and said with a smile.

"Steward Li, you are also an old man, the second master of Zhilu Dao is timid, how can he come and go casually when he sees outsiders, let's leave quickly!" It is said that he will not hit the smiling face when he reaches out his hand, and when he sees the sky, he is embarrassed to embarrass him when he sees the joy, and waves his hand to let him go quickly.

"Oh, the villain should be damned, is the second master here too?" Steward Li lowered his head and asked.

"Yes, the second master is behind, you quickly avoid it, don't collide with the master!" Jianxi replied casually, his mind was still on the big python, and he wanted to send Steward Li away as soon as possible.

"Hehe, that's great..." Steward Li raised his head and said with a smile, although he was laughing, his laughter was full of coldness, and his eyes revealed ruthlessness.

"What do you want to do?" Steward Li suddenly changed his face, startled Jianxi, and subconsciously raised the wooden stick in his hand and shouted in a trembling voice.

"Run away when you see Xi, he's going to kill someone!" Although Zhao Ta, who was hiding in the bamboo forest, was still a few meters away from them, he had already felt the thick murderous aura exuded by Steward Li, if he turned around and ran away at this time, he might be able to escape, but Jianxi had been with him for so long after all, and he couldn't bear to see him lose his life, so he reminded him loudly.

"Huh?!" Seeing that Xi heard Zhao Ta's shout, he screamed in surprise, and smashed the wooden stick in his hand at Steward Li, shouting to the two little yellow doors, "Protect the prince!" ”

Steward Li saw that his attempt was drunk by Zhao Ta, but he did not panic, tilted his head to avoid Jianxi's stick, and there was already a short knife more than a foot long in his hand, and the two little yellow doors also reacted at this time, waving the stick in their hands and stabbing Steward Li, but they only felt that the target disappeared with a flower in front of them.

A little yellow door wanted to scream, but he felt a flash of white light in front of him, a blood mist rose, a mouthful of salty fish poured into his mouth, his head tilted to the side without obeying the call, and his body fell straight down. Another little yellow door saw that his companion was killed, so frightened that the stick in his hand fell to the ground, wanted to move but couldn't move, stood on the ground in a daze, watching the short knife pierce his chest, the severe pain made him unable to make a sound at all, and then felt the blade turn, his heart was broken, the knife quickly left the body, he felt so cold, soft and soft on the ground.

"Wang... Rajah! Seeing that Steward Li killed two people in an instant, he was frightened, his face was as white as a piece of paper, he looked at each other in horror, his body trembled like chaff, his crotch was loosened, and a stench spread in the air, but he still didn't run, still blocking the path, stopping in front of Zhao Ta. ,

"Don't be afraid, there's me!" Zhao Ta didn't expect that this guy could think of himself at this time of life and death, his heart warmed, and he took a step forward to block him.

"Hehe, your master and servant are affectionate, don't rob it, I'll send you on the road together!" Steward Li shook the blood on the knife in a dashing manner, and teased like a cat and mouse.

"Hee-hee, can you tell me why you killed me?" Zhao Ta raised his face and looked at the killing god who was a few steps away from him and said with a smile.

"Aren't you afraid?" Steward Li likes to see the panicked appearance of the person who is about to fall under his sword, he feels that he is the master of this world at this time, this feeling makes him enjoy it very much, seeing Zhao Ta's calm appearance, he is angry, and takes a step forward and says.

"You haven't answered me yet, why should I tell you!" Zhao Ta hung his arm, the gun in his hand had already pulled the hammer, he looked at Steward Li coldly and said calmly.

"I'm just a killer and never ask for what to kill!" Steward Li took another step forward and said, he suddenly felt that the child in front of him actually exuded an aura that made his heart palpitate, and he couldn't help but clench the knife in his hand.

"Take people's money and eliminate disasters with people, since you don't know anything, then die!" Zhao Ta's voice suddenly became extremely cold, and Jianxi behind him seemed to be unable to stand this oppression, and slumped on the ground, but his eyes looked at the prince, he didn't understand, what did this child, who was much younger than himself, suddenly make himself extremely afraid, this fear was not caused by the gap in status, but the fear that penetrated into the bone marrow.

"Die!" Steward Li was a seasoned killer, he had a premonition of danger, and the knife in his hand stabbed Zhao Ta's neck without hesitation.

"Bang", a puff of smoke rose in front of him, Steward Li's body shook, his chest seemed to be hit by an iron cone, and the strength of his body was instantly drained, and the knife fell to the ground with a thud, "Thunderbolt on a sunny day, why did it hit me!" He staggered back two steps and leaned against the stone, looking at the wound on his chest in confusion, trying to figure out what was happening in front of him, knowing that he could have killed the child with a knife in his hand, but he was suddenly struck by lightning.

"You're really a fierce spirit in the Nether..." Steward Li suddenly thought of something, and his face was full of fear because of the rapid blood loss.

"Your heart is biased!" This is the last sentence that Steward Li has heard in the world, accompanied by the words of the prince is a muffled sound, a blood flower bloomed on his chest, the arm that had just been raised hung down suddenly, and his wide-open eyes slowly slipped down the stone with doubts and fear, and everything was over.

Zhao Ta pointed a gun at the silent Steward Li, slowly leaned over, reached out and touched his neck, there was no pulse, the person was already dead, and then put away the gun, "Lord, Lord, for the sake of the little one who has been waiting for you for so long, don't eat me!" At this moment, there was a sudden cry for mercy behind him, which seemed not to be a human voice.

"Eat you?!" Zhao Ta turned around and looked at Jianxi who was kneeling on the ground in surprise, kowtowing with a handful of snot and tears and begging for mercy, "Why are you eating, a bunch of stinky meat." He thought about it for a while, and understood that Jianxi took Steward Li's dying words seriously, and he kept his back to him, he didn't see that he killed Steward Li with a gun, but only heard the gunshots and saw the rising gunsmoke, and really thought that he had found a thunderbolt to kill people, and regarded him as a monster.

"Yes... Yes, a small body of stinky meat, eating a bad stomach! "I wanted to run, but my legs and stomach turned straight and I couldn't give it strength, and I struggled a few times and fell.

"See Xi, get up for the master, it's so useless, he was beaten to death by me, what are you afraid of!" Seeing Jianxi's panicked appearance, Zhao Ta kicked him twice and said funny.

"Ahhh Yes?! Second master, you're not a monster? Seeing that Xi listened to Zhao Ta's words, he looked at the smiling prince suspiciously, and it took a while to settle down to determine that he was still the prince who accompanied him every day, and said aggrievedly: "Prince, you can scare me to death!" ”

"Coward, get up!" Zhao Ta scolded with a straight face, saw that Xi hurriedly stood up, walked to the dead Steward Li first, and kicked him twice, "If you want to kill us, kill you first, you get up and kill me!" Now he came to his senses, kicking and scolding.

"You searched him, did he have anything on him?" Zhao said. Seeing that Xi was unmoved by the dead man, he reached out and touched it in his arms, turned out two strings of copper coins and a small black wooden plaque, rubbed the blood on it, and handed it to Zhao Ta.

"Is this brand from our house?" Zhao Ta didn't look at the copper coin, took the small wooden card in his hand and looked at it for a moment, there were strange symbols painted on it, Tai Chi is not like Tai Chi, gossip is not like gossip He looked up and asked.

"Second master, this is not in the house, and it is not like the palace, we make it all bronze and silver medals!" Miki replied immediately.

Zhao Ta nodded, put the wooden card back in his arms and asked, "See Xi, what did you do at home before you entered the palace?" ”

"Hehe, don't hide it from the second master, our family is a coffin seller and a corpse of the owner for the government to collect, and then there was a fire and the family was defeated, and my father sent me to the palace!" Jianxi touched his head and said embarrassedly.

"Oh, I'm glad you killed the assassin this time, I'm going to reward you!" Zhao Ta now understood why he was not afraid of the dead, and also dispelled his doubts, it turned out that he was a boy and grew up in the nest of the dead, he suddenly said after a while.
