Although Liu Changyi was an official who worshipped the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, he knew very well that he was different from other high-ranking officials of the imperial court, he was similar to Zhang Luo, and the local color was very strong. Therefore, Liu Changyi always has worries in his heart, he is very low-key in the court, and the affairs of the criminal department are generally managed by the squire, he does not interfere at all, he does nothing, and he is happy to make fun of Sun. Li Yu suddenly summoned him to surprise him, and now he said that he wanted to borrow someone. Saying this, others must be confused, but Liu Changyi knows very well that the two people Li Yu wants to borrow are Nie Yinniang, a famous assassin who was later famous but now very low-key, and the other is Nie Yinniang's husband Mojing Langjun.

The Tang Dynasty was a dynasty of chivalry. It seems that the Tang Dynasty people have a romantic element of violence flowing in their veins. Li Bai wrote a poem: "Kill one person in ten steps, and don't stay for a thousand miles", and he himself did kill people, but I don't know if it was chivalrous and righteous, so there was a doctor who wrote Li Bai and characterized Li Bai as the first ancient boy in the Tang Dynasty. Not only Li Bai, but even Du Fu, who has always been considered an honest friend, also boasted that he had killed several of them.

Chivalry is forbidden by force, especially in troubled times. After the Anshi Rebellion, the normal ruling order was destroyed, and the feudal towns and the imperial court attacked each other, and assassination became an important means of struggle. For example, in history, Wu Yuanheng was assassinated by assassins sent by Li Shidao on the way to the court. In the nineteenth year of Zhenyuan, after Liu Changyi became Chen Xujiedu's envoy, he patronized and repaired the relationship with Huaixi, and the relationship with Wei Bojiedu's envoy Tian Ji'an was not handled well, so Tian Ji'an sent assassins.

This assassin is Nie Yinniang.

Nie Yinniang is the daughter of Wei Bo's general Nie Feng, and her experience is simply a template for many martial arts novels in later generations. The young Nie Yinniang was lively and active, so she was taken by an old nun passing by, and quietly took Nie Yinniang away with an IOU, saying that it was good to cherish her as a martial arts wizard and to teach her martial arts. However, the old nun is still really talented. When Nie Yinniang returned home from school at the age of sixteen, she had already become a prominent figure in the assassin industry. Nie Yinniang, who is good at swordsmanship and disguise, reveals a mysterious color everywhere, when her family wants to find her a good in-law, she gently but firmly chooses a good-for-nothing mirror grinding boy at the east gate. God knows if this boy is a childhood sweetheart's brother and sister, anyway, her family can't resist her, so she has to agree. Since then, there has been a frightening husband and wife partner on the rivers and lakes.

So Tian Ji'an sent Nie Yinniang. It was also Liu Chang's fate, knowing that Tian Ji'an was going to send assassins, he was not in a hurry, nor did he take precautions, but just asked people to wait for the couple killer riding a black donkey at the gate of Chenzhou City, and when they arrived, he invited them to the mansion as guests. Nie Yinniang was bold and had her hidden secrets revealed, but she was not flustered and happily accepted Liu Changyi's invitation. After living in Chenzhou for a while, Nie Yinniang found that Liu Changyi was many times better than Tian Ji'an, who could only bury people alive. So he turned to Liu Changyi. Of course, in order not to affect their parents, Nie Yinniang and his wife disappeared but did not disappear.

In the days that followed, Tian Ji'an, who couldn't wait for Nie Yinniang's news, successively spent a lot of money to hire the two major assassins in the East at that time, Miao Miaoer and Kong Kong'er came to assassinate Liu Changyi, and Kong Kong'er even sneaked into Liu Chang's bedroom, but in the end they were all recognized by Nie Yinniang, and after killing, they used the legendary corpse water to destroy the corpse. Tian Ji'an missed repeatedly, so he had to give up stupidly. Liu Changyi also lived safely until he was drafted into the court.

Although Nie Yinniang and his wife joined Liu Changyi, their status in the Liu Mansion was very transcendent, and they belonged to the kind of stay that they wanted to stay, and they could leave if they wanted to. Liu Changyi entered the dynasty and Nie Yinniang and his wife were originally reluctant to follow, but Liu Changyi asked them to continue to help each other on the grounds of unpredictable fortune and misfortune, and the two came to Chang'an and lived in seclusion in the south of Chang'an City, at the foot of the South Mountain. At that time, there were very few people who even knew about Nie Yinniang, how could the emperor know that Nie Yinniang was following him? (Li Chan: I don't know such a famous story, no, how can I not know it?) ）

Liu Changyi returned to his residence in Anguofang in despair, and if he pinched his face, he would definitely be able to squeeze out a large puddle of water. In the evening, Liu Changyi retreated, sat silently in the study alone, and lit ambergris. Just after midnight, the door of the study creaked open, and a house slave walked in with his head bowed, and said:

"Old man••••••"

Liu Changyi's face sank, and he said angrily:

"Didn't I tell you not to come in without being summoned?"

The old family looked up and said:

"The master has always been unfazed, and he rarely loses his temper so much, it seems that he is indeed in big trouble."

The voice became a woman's voice. Liu Changyi immediately reacted and said:

"It turned out to be a hidden mother. Yin Niang's disguise technique is simply superb, and she is getting more and more clever. How can you come to my house and be transfigured? ”

Nie Yinniang said:

"There is no curfew in Chang'an, and the streets are full of people at night, so it is not convenient to travel from high to high. After the adult enters the court, there is no longer entanglement, and no one should come to assassinate the adult, is it who the adult wants to kill? ”

Liu Changyi smiled bitterly:

"The Yin Niang couple have been with the old man for more than five years, have you ever seen the old man want to hurt anyone? Today, the emperor suddenly summoned me and said that the crown prince was about to tour the east. I don't know how the emperor knew about Yinniang's reputation, and followed the old man, and proposed to borrow Yinniang and his wife to follow the prince to protect the prince. The old man doesn't know what to do, so he asks Yinniang to discuss. ”

Nie Yinniang heard the words but didn't speak, Liu Changyi saw this and said:

"Yinniang knows that the old man is a person, will the old man give Yinniang out in order to please the emperor? After entering the court, the old man was the official of the first-class criminal department, and he had no intention of going further, just hoping to spend the rest of his life in peace. It's really unpredictable that the emperor is so powerful, and even such a secret thing as Yinniang can know, and the old man is also very helpless. However, the old man said to the emperor that Yinniang is a master in the world, who comes and goes without a shadow, refuses to ask about mundane matters, and does not dare to guarantee whether Yinniang will agree. His Majesty didn't make it too difficult for the old man, but just asked the old man to ask the old man if he would agree. If Yinniang is unwilling, the emperor said that he will not force it, so he can only go to the Great Ci'en Temple to ask the abbot. ”

Nie Yinniang pondered for a long time and said:

"My husband and wife originally planned to go into the river to live in seclusion in Mount Emei as soon as the first month passed, and no longer ask about the world. It's just that I'm going here, I'm afraid that it will take more than half a year. ”

Liu Changyi finally breathed a sigh of relief and said:

In this way, the old man will thank Yinniang a lot. When the old man returned home, the emperor once said that as long as Yinniang was willing to go out, whatever Yinniang wanted. also said that if Yinniang agreed, he wanted to invite Yinniang into the palace once. The old man thought that His Majesty wanted to thank Yinniang in person. ”
