1. Pei Mansion

What kind of place is Nanchang City? If only in terms of geography, it "takes three rivers and brings five lakes, controls the barbarian Jing and leads Ouyue", the left leads to Hunan and Hubei, the right covers the two rivers, the Antarctic Fujian and Guangdong, and the north arches the Dynasty. In today's political landscape, it can be called an important town.

With such an important town, of course, it is necessary to send the top officials of the current court to calm down.

The surname of this capable member of the supervising party is Pei.

"A door full of beds, father and son three books" of the "Pei".

Pei Du Mansion can be said to be the most imposing and graceful mansion in Nanchang City.

It covers an area the length of a street. Peijia Street can be said to be a private street in Pei's house, with yellow sand paving and high pink walls. The pepper wall and the tile cut off all the hustle and bustle outside, and the Qingmu Yajing inside is indeed quite in line with the style of a generation of hairpins.

On the ground of the main hall of Peifu, there are green and solid floor tiles. The opening of this main hall is very large, as deep and wide as five rooms and nine pillars. The dust bearing at the top of the column is also high from the ground, and the furnishings in the hall are even more generous and simple. The wide space stretched out by the pillars of the red sandalwood court will make people who inadvertently enter this main hall feel a little timid when they speak.

At this time, a figure in black was in the main hall and jumped slightly. The leap span was huge, three feet long. I saw that the posture of the man in black after jumping up was also very different from that of ordinary martial arts experts, his arms were stretched out, and a pair of wide sleeves were straightened by his arms, and the sleeves stretched out to the wrist and shrank suddenly, buttoned into arrow sleeves, tightly clamping the man's thick wrists.

His posture was so majestic, but he was extremely short—he was just over five feet, and a man of his height could be more than half a head taller than him. His figure also looked a little sideways because of this, and at a glance, he only felt rough.

But his arms were long and open, and they matched his short body, and his wings were even wider. It is said that the length of a person's arms should be similar to his height, but the length of the man's arms when he is stretched out is clearly nearly a foot and a half longer than his height. And the softness and thickness of the sleeves can't hide the sturdy strength between the arms and humerus that he lined the bottom of the sleeves. The most striking impression of him at first glance is his arms, which are thick and strong, like arms that can hook the palm and peck and break bricks and wood.

The vain sleeves at this time showed not to be fluttering and weak, but to be agitated and fierce.

I saw him jump three feet, and when he landed, a pair of black-soled fast boots were a little bit on the blue brick ground, and with a kick of his short legs, he jumped up again - 'Swallow three copies of water', this was originally a very ordinary Jianghu longitudinal technique, but in his hands, there was a kind of momentum of Jianling and arrows, leaping and soaring.

He only had two lifts before he jumped onto the blue brick road outside the lobby of Pei's Mansion. Then the figure stretched out suddenly, and after two take-offs, a goshawk-like figure had landed directly on the pink wall not far from the main hall.

I saw that he only stopped on the wall, did a little pranayama, but his arms were not closed, as if he was open, and behind the backstab, a figure dressed in black made people look at it from afar, reflecting the blue night, really like a hawk with his shoulders and neck shrunk, smart and spicy.

Someone in the hall already shouted: "Good! ”

The word 'good' still didn't hit the ground, and I saw that the figure had already jumped out of thin air from the wall like a fly. He jumped this time, but he threw himself into the hall again!

There were two people sitting in the lobby at this time, and although the lights and candles in the hall were bright, because the space was too large, it gave people a sense of darkness. I saw that the person sitting on the seat had a fixed expression. He was born into a wealthy family, his body was comfortable, and the way he sat unconsciously gave people a sense of comfort, although the chair under him was so hard and straight.

- This kind of chair makes people feel majestic at first sight, but the person who thinks about sitting on it will not be very comfortable, right?

But he's been sitting in this chair for years. From a very young age, he probably knew that his life was almost destined to sit upright in such a chair.

"Those who work hard smelt people, and those who work hard smelt people", this is the most court motto he has heard in Yan Qin's mouth since he was a child. But at that time, he didn't know what kind of work the 'laborers' had to do.

On his left hand sat an old man. The man had a slight beard under his chin, almost pure white, and he was over sixty years old, but his waist was straighter than that of the man sitting on the throne. The applause just now was what he drank. He is none other than Hu Yuzhi, the former prince of the country who has returned to seclusion.

Hu Yuzhi's ancestor borrowed Nanchang, in this city, it is enough to be called the hope of one party. He expressed the word sacrifice nine, in Nanchang City, I am afraid that there is no one else who can let him sit on the side, only Pei Ju.

The person sitting on the throne is Pei Ju.

I saw that in the dim and yellow main hall, Pei Ju's face was as bright as darkness, and even Hu Yuzhi, who was sitting beside him, couldn't guess what he was worried about.

Hu Yuzhi has been silently looking at Pei Ju with the corner of his eyes, he is thinking, this party who sits on the same place, this giant of the dynasty who makes the world governor and the big man in the court can't help but look sideways, what is he thinking in his heart at the moment?

-- The political situation in Jiangxi is clean and the market is stable, but this person who makes the people in the outside world can't help but look up, this person who has been sitting on the throne of Jiangxi for seven years...... Will he see it that way? On this day and now, in Jiujiang Chen went to illness, he suddenly caught Hua Rong, and ignored the jealousy of the Hua family in Yingtan and was directly released to Nanchang Governor Yamen on this and this day.

——The wind started at the end of Ping, which is just a trivial case of rape and murder in the eyes of the people in the outside world, and the turmoil it has caused is far more than that.

There are only more than ten days left, and Hua Rong's case will be closed in the Yamen of the Judge. Hu Yuzhi participated in the secrets of the Jiangxi Governor's Mansion, and knew in his heart that everyone in Jiangxi was looking at Pei Ju. And Pei Ju has always been able to refuse the 'Eastern Secret' outside the Jiangxi Portal, but the reason is: This is actually a people's dispute, and he has never given the 'Eastern Secret' any opportunity to take advantage of. The reason why the momentum of the Eastern Secret can be surging today, Hu Yuzhi knows that the reason for their rise to the root is actually because although the current dynasty is full of gold and purple, how many powerful people have already constituted how many grievances. The resentment is dark and depressed, and it is precisely with this resentment that it can hold up the momentum of the East Secret and fly in one day, flapping its wings all over the world, and their voices can be heard everywhere. But do the magnates know that they are playing with fire? The common people cannot be bullied, the puppet cannot be humiliated, sustainable development is the real sustainable exploitation, and it is always wise to fish without taking it. Even if Hu Yuzhi was also a dignitary from a gentry clan, for the sake of the actions of his peers, sometimes he even felt that the outbreak of the 'Dongmi' force was not bad, and it was a punishment that the powerful people from the same noble clan as him needed to suffer.

But Yingtan Huafa and Yiyang Cangyan, how can these two families afford to be offended? How can you be exonerated!

——10,000 cars have been peeping at Jiangxi for many years. If he is guilty, he will be given an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Hu Yuzhi remembered the tip he had just received this morning, and another word came to his mind: Qingliushe.

When he received the information at that time, he said that he knew with Pei Ju, and he saw Pei Ju raise his eyes and look at the northwest - Chen Quai, who was his friend in the corner, was Chen Quai, and it was he who burned him at this time. Hua Rong alone had no footsteps, but he caught it at a really good time, he should have known that Chen Qu was sick and lived in Jiangxi, and it should not be a good relationship for seven years without moving or adjusting, but he never thought that he would suddenly unleash this evil fire at this time, when Xiao Yuzheng suddenly gave up, and there was no one in the court to compete with the forces of the 'Eastern Secret'.

What is he for? - Is it because the pillar of the 'Qingliu Society' has fallen, that he will take action at the right time, build a bridge to set the fire, and lead all the evil fire to himself?

In the middle of the court, no one dared to confront Du Buchan and Wan Checheng head-on, so he wanted to force himself?

Pei Ju's psychology suddenly gave birth to a trace of contempt, and his contempt for the Qingliu Society was also contempt for the people of the whole world: he Xiao Yuzheng single-handedly founded the 'Qingliu Society', although he avoided the society on the day of its completion, but the Qingliu Society became famous for a while. Does his brother-in-law know that after his death, the No. 1 order issued by Qingliushe to chase and kill Jun was actually to kill his wife?

Pei Ju was meditating, and couldn't help but look at Chang'an from afar: Sister Ling, how is Sister Ling doing now?

He wasn't very concerned either. In fact, in his heart, the world is like this, and competition is like this - if you have the desire to clear the world, you must have the consciousness of taking responsibility for the people of the world to punish you.

But Sister Ling, she was implicated.

There was a sudden sound of wild laughter in his heart: and the cultural relics of this scene that he worked hard to protect and protect, along with the generations of the gentlemen, did not always want to exhaust the power of the world to serve himself? They may even feel that they are in the way all the time, and they want to get rid of it as soon as possible. At this point, what is the difference between himself and Xiao Yuzheng's embarrassing situation?

Life is like this - looking at it from a high level, because it is also high, and often feels that there will be a slight danger. All the strict rectification, political harmony, and peace in all industries are just a short-lived illusion when the contradictions of various forces can still be reconciled...... Pei Ju's eyes were dark, after a whole day of official business and lonely home. But now, the illusion has been broken, and the pot of gruel that he has worked hard to blend and reconcile with all his strength for so many years finally broke out at this moment when the monarch and the ministers were offended, the five flavors were jealous, the fire was fried violently, and the destruction broke out.

Not for anything else, just for the trend of Eastern Secret, which has infiltrated Jiangxi.

The figure in black was no longer as light as when he jumped out just now, but with all his might.

I saw that he jumped five feet, and he had already pounced in front of the hall with only two pounces. When he reached the front of the hall, he rose up again and again after a little stone staircase. There is a plaque in front of the hall, and the name of the plaque is 'the mirror is as clear as water'. The man paused slightly under the plaque in front of the hall, stretched out one hand, and pulled out a knife behind the plaque in the lobby—a knife only two feet long and nearly a foot and a half wide!

The Hu Yuzhi in the hall couldn't help but change color.

When he saw Canghua suddenly jump out, he thought that it was still the same as usual, but when Pei Ju's official duties were tedious, he was bored and helpless, and he took a break with Pei Ju. But he never thought that he would pull out a knife behind the plaque! No one would have thought that there would be a knife hidden behind the plaque in the main hall of Pei Mansion! And the blade is so wide that it is clearly the well-known 'broad and heavy knife':

There are all the yellow sand galloping horses,

The geese in the sky cannot fall into formation;

Please walk by the river,

The water is wide and the fish sinks, and no one asks.

——The 'wide and heavy knife' known as 'a hundred battles in the yellow sand, geese falling in the sky, a knife rising in the wind, and a fish sinking in the water'!

Moreover, holding this broad and heavy knife is Canghua - the commander of the guards in Pei Du's Mansion, the chief guard, Canghua!

——Among the two surnames of Yingtan Huafa and Yiyang Cangyan, although the masters are like clouds, there are only two people who can use their surnames in their names.

After the man in black drew his knife, his body was stretched out, and his arms were one, and he glided down like a goshawk, and pounced on the main seat in the lobby. Hu Yuzhi, who was sitting on the side, couldn't sit still anymore and shouted: "Canghua, what do you want to do!" ”

He slapped the arm of his chair, and the man stood up. The canghua came so violently that in the blink of an eye, he had already rushed to the desk in front of the hall. His blow was so fast that even Hu Yuzhi, whose old eyes suddenly brightened like a fox, was completely unprepared.

He couldn't care about anything at this time, and he no longer had the intention to show leisure and calm down. As soon as he inhaled, he saw a pale cyan scroll rise on his almost pale face in the middle of his breath. As soon as he spitted and drank, his five fingers were like hooks, and he grabbed at the canghua with one claw.

Canghua was silent, his left leg counterattacked, and he stepped towards Hu Yuzhi's chest with one foot.

Hu Yuzhi snorted, but his heart was already shocked, why did this kid use a life-fighting trick - to fight Pei Ju's life with his own life? What death order did the Yingtan Hua family give him?

The knife in Canghua's hand was not slackened, and it was clear that he had to restrain Pei Ju under a knife even if he was injured!

The strength of his forward pounce was exhausted, and his body couldn't help but fall down, but at this time, his left hand suddenly stretched out, and a palm pressed towards the big red sandalwood case, and only one palm supported the big red sandalwood case, his body hung in the air and hanged, and his right hand waved a knife to cut, and the knife came out like the wind, and in an instant, it went straight to the distance of less than an inch in front of Pei Ju's throat.

Hu Yuzhi suddenly shouted: "Stop!" ”

The knife really stopped, and Canghua stopped—because one of Hu Yuzhi's right hands had already clasped the liver and gallbladder on Canghua's waist. Hu Yuzhi's always fixed face couldn't help but break out in a layer of cold sweat: although he pinched the liver and gallbladder of this kid Canghua, but with Canghua's ability, in the 'Huafa family, Cangyan servant', in addition to the old lady of the Hua family and Cang Jiuye, he was not sure that he would be abolished before this kid swung a knife.

And Pei Ju can't die. In this world, there are some people who must not die, and their death will inevitably lead to a turning upside down. For example, Xiao Yuzheng, such as Pei Ju.

The scene seemed to freeze for a while, even the sound of a hair stroking was audible. That Canghua supported the case with one arm, stretched forward with the other, and the person was flat on the desk that seemed to be frozen at the same time in an instant, as if it had been frozen for thousands of years, and the knife in his right hand was less than an inch in front of Pei Ju's throat.

- If he exerts his strength, Pei Ju will certainly have blood splashed, and he is afraid that his heart and gall will be broken immediately.

Canghua's eyes stared straight at Pei Ju's eyes, he didn't look at Hu Yuzhi, he looked at Pei Ju, only Pei Ju.

Hu Yuzhi is extremely tall, Canghua doesn't need to look at him, as long as the corner of his eye sweeps his shadow on the desk as a lamp and candle, you can know whether he is about to move. When he looked at Pei Ju, he had a broad and rough face, but his eyes were dark.

He has been serving Pei Ju for seven years, almost since Pei Ju arrived in Jiangxi, which is also a great gift from the Yingtan Hua family to Pei Ju. Pei Ju's authorities are in power, and there are many powerful forces that have offended, and they want to give him the same weapons for self-defense. This sharp weapon is Canghua.

But after seven years, he still hasn't seen this Pei Ju clearly.

I remember that at that time, when the old lady of the Hua family asked Pei Ju to personally pick someone among the second-generation disciples in their sect, absolutely no one thought that he would pick Canghua.

Canghua has been short since he was a child, and he has been ridiculed for a long time, and his heart is full of depression. To this day, he still remembers that Pei Ju was a guest at the Washington villa that day, and he was not the original candidate.

——In a long row, nearly a dozen young players from the Hua and Cang families stood in the lobby, waiting for Pei Ju to choose. Pei Ju thanked Mrs. Hua, but Canghua was not in the team. He was sweeping the ground under a large white-flowered tree in the courtyard. He didn't know what kind of tree it was, he was in a bad mood, he hated the flowers that were as big as a white bowl, and he hated all the big, expansive things that reminded him of his body.

But Pei Ju - he never expected Pei Ju to be picked up that day!

For almost all those who were triumphant, a few feet taller than him, he had nothing but a look down in his heart. But only Pei Ju, only Pei Ju made him feel a kind of looking up for the first time in his life except for Cang Jiuye, the only thing that made him feel small.

Pei Ju held down the broom in his hand that day and asked, "Are you willing to be the commander of my guards?" ”

Afterwards, Canghua also wanted to ask Pei Ju why he chose him countless times, but he never spoke. There are some things that you don't need to ask, you just need to do them, and you can do them worthy of Pei Ju's knowledge.

- Canghua's hand held his 'Broad Shen Knife' firmly, as if Hu Yuzhi's hand full of 'Confucian True Qi' was not clasped between his own liver and spleen. His eyes were still staring at Pei Ju.

The expression on Pei Ju's face was so quiet that he didn't even move an eyebrow. His complexion was yellow, not as yellow as his expression. I saw that he suddenly stretched out his hand, picked up the cup of Pu'er tea that he often drank after meals on the table, took a sip gently, and then calmly said to Canghua: "What do you want to tell me?" ”

Canghua's face suddenly had a sense of knowledge.

The blade of his neck was no longer cold, but a warm breath of steadfastness and perseverance.

All the coldness seemed to be forced into his voice, and he only heard him say coldly: "Jumping up from the wall in front of the main hall, if someone wants to assassinate Pei Dudu, a real good hand, according to my calculations, only three breaths." Between three breaths, never delay, the killer is here! As I expected, Hu Sai Jiuguo is a generation of masters who have practiced the 'Confucianism True Qi' and hidden it. But even if he is on the side, if there is really a master who dares to commit it, and he does not hesitate to die, I am afraid that even if there is Hu Sai Wine on the side, Master Pei will not be able to escape this catastrophe. ”

"The Pei Mansion guards are extremely secret, and I have also been thinking about it in the past three years. But although the guards are all handsome, after all, there is still a gap between them and the best players, and it is okay to attack them normally, but if there are really peerless masters who come to ......"

“…… The blow of the powder wall in front of the main hall is a big loophole in our Pei Mansion's defense. ”

"I just want to remind Master Pei not to take it lightly. Although our guards are all good, but, according to my report, this time the 'Qingliu Society' really invited a master. Even if you don't talk about them, 'Dongmi' is also looking at the side. As long as someone comes to divert the attention of the guards in the courtyard, as long as they climb on this wall, the subsequent blow will be a big revelation that makes Master Pei unable to be safe. ”

Pei Ju listened quietly and nodded: "But there are still you by my side." ”

- Even if you are by my side, I can be sure that I am safe.

The look on Canghua's face darkened slightly.

Pei Ju immediately felt it, he looked at Canghua's face, and there was a sudden sense of clarity in his eyes.

"But you, Ninth Master Cang, are already calling you back?"

Canghua's face suddenly became angry. He hung his head gloomily.

He admired this Pei Dudu, although he had never known him. But no matter where Pei Ju's pampered body sits, he will have a feeling, and that feeling is only four words: solid as a rock.

Canghua didn't know Pei Ju - after trying to understand this giant of the dynasty, he had long since stopped trying to understand him. But he could see that this ruling party was doing its best to stabilize the party. There is only one thing he wants to tell Pei Ju, and this matter is not told by words but by doing: he admires him, and he is willing to use his life to pour out a blood for him.

But, that's right, it was when Pei Ju was in chaos at the moment and his life was hanging in the balance, Cang Jiu Ye suddenly summoned him back!

Shi is a confidant who died, and on that day, Pei Ju chose himself who was only over five feet tall among the surnames of Hua and Cang. This has become a known encounter! can be placed in this chess game between Hua Cang's second surname and Pei Ju, he has no right to have any personal emotions at all, he can only become a silent chess piece. He was born in the Cang family, and died as a ghost in the Cang family, and he was powerless to resist Cang Jiuye's decision. This is the first look given to Pei Ju by the surnames Hua and Cang, and before that, they have launched a killing game against Chen Quai.

There is only one intention: do you want to let go of Huarong?

Cang Hua's hand holding the knife suddenly strengthened, just outside the mansion, just outside the seemingly calm courtyard wall of Pei Mansion, he didn't know how many Pei Du Mansion had been hiding opponents recently. And the two people invited by Qingliu Society this time, even if he Canghua is here to protect each other, and he does his best, he may not dare to ensure that he can block the joint blow of the two masters of the world.

Let alone......

- This time out of the knife, it was his imminent message, he was not at ease - he was really not worried about this rare official who did his best for the official and did not serve all his own selfish desires, and he was not at ease to abandon him alone in the turbid undercurrent of this turbulent world.

Pei Ju adjusted his breathing slightly, and as soon as he closed his eyes, his eyelids drooped, covering all the looks in his eyes that might be noticed by outsiders. I only heard him say quietly: "Okay, you can go." Dealing with the world, the family rules and family are tired, all kinds of things, how can you do what you want? I don't blame you, and I won't stop you. ”

He suddenly picked up a big teacup carved from the boxwood in front of him, took a long sip, and handed it to Canghua's lips as soon as he handed it over.

Canghua glanced at him, raised his head, supported the case with one hand, and did not let go of the knife, so he took a big sip in his hand - he knew that this was Governor Pei sending himself off.

After drinking this faint sip of Pu'er tea, there were two dead springs that seemed to be about to come alive under Canghua's eyes - he must not stay any longer! If he stayed any longer, the weakness and wetness in his eyes would be uncontrollable.

A good man, when he comes, he should jump, and when he goes, he will also refuse. I saw that his right hand suddenly slapped the case, and the 'broad heavy knife' was slapped on the case by him.

He closed his eyes and raised his head, raised his head and took a long breath, and then said in a long breath: "Master Pei, this knife will be left for you to use as a protective body." If a murderer comes to commit a crime, let him recognize my Canghua's 'broad and heavy knife' before he kills him. Otherwise, hehe, when you were born, you were limited by family rules, and you and I only had the friendship of guest and host, and I couldn't advance or retreat. But if you don't expect it, the revenge of the hanging lord and the sword is my personal friendship. Even if it is the ancestor of the Hua family and the ninth master of Cang, he can no longer control my Canghua's 'broad and heavy' blow! ”

He didn't say a word, and with a stretch of his left hand, the man flew up. I saw that the candle flame behind the case shrank, and in the dim light and shadow, Canghua's short figure had escaped outside the hall.

Pei Ju still heard him say in his ears: "Qingliu Society not only dispatched the best players in the club this time, but also invited two masters. 'Star Wing Zhen', 'Earth Connecting Henglu', hehe, what is the so-called character in "Zhong Lingfu", Zhou Yizhen and Mu Henglu! ”

Speaking of which, his figure had escaped from the wall in front of the hall.

He suddenly raised his head to the sky and roared, and this whistling was clearly intended for the adversary who was waiting in the dark, but only the howling of his short body was like a tiger's roar and a dragon's groan:

Poor and uncertain riverside bones, who asks;

Poor and uncertain riverside bones, who asks!
