Volume 3 The Stars Hold the Moon, I Walk Alone Section 10 The Dance Theater Confrontation

"Upper left half-spin, fight", Zhuang Renxuan suddenly shouted, at the same time, the ten fingers of his hands were quickly intertwined, and Tu Zifei seemed to be very familiar with this kind of sudden command. Before Zhuang Renxuan's voice settled, the chair under his seat had been shattered by Yuan Li, and at the same time, his body rotated half a circle, and the battle technique tattoo hidden in the bottom layer of his skin was instantly lit up by Yuan Li.

Boom, Yuan Li hit the air and produced a violent shock, and the performers screamed and fled in a panic, but they were obviously trained to deal with emergencies, and after the panic only lasted for dozens of breaths, they automatically hid in the farthest corner. The door was near them, but no one had fled at this time, apparently well-trained.

Tu Zifei's combat skills are not enough to constitute today's power, Zhuang Renxuan's "spell integration" is the reason for the explosion, which shows that the two are extremely familiar with each other. Tu Zifei looked around with devastated eyes, and cast his inquiring eyes on Zhuang Renxuan, who looked at the explosion point with a solemn expression, which was where Hu Shandiao once stood.

Hu Shandiao stood outside the "Long Song and Dance Theater" with sweat on his forehead, and he understood at this time that eavesdropping was still the specialty of "genealogy of the surnames", voyeurism was still a "fog mirror" to change jobs, and "Jiedao" was a "raid" specialty. The boundary road is the same as borrowing the road, and if you borrow someone else's road, don't stay too much, too much stay will inevitably cause the dissatisfaction of the master, thinking that it is spying.

Hu Shandiao stood at the end of the trail after using the magic weapon "Boundary Dao", he originally wanted to listen to Tu Zifei's conversation with Zhuang Renxuan, but he didn't want to stand for less than two breaths, Zhuang Renxuan was aware. Fortunately, he was not slow to react, and as soon as Zhuang Ren spoke, he immediately retreated, and the path contracted as he retreated, and eventually, both returned to square one.

Snatching, a dart tied to a note was nailed to the table where Zhuang Renxuan and Tu Zifei were sitting opposite each other out of thin air, the boundary path can not only act on Hu Shandiao and humans, its legal effect is extremely wide. After Hu Shandiao returned, he thought that this alarm was not all bad, and using a dart to send a message could also make Zhuang Renxuan mistakenly believe that it was deliberately done by other forces before.

"You have been recorded by the Shadow Stone, if you don't want to expose it, you need to act according to the order." This sentence was written by Hu Shandiao on the note, and Tu Zifei and Zhuang Renxuan looked at each other after reading it.

"Really remembered by the Shadow Stone?" Although Tu Zifei can also come into contact with a lot of occult things in the Eagle Claw Division, he is not a person in the circle, and he is much shallow after all.

Zhuang Renxuan did not have the slightest doubt about the words on the note, he thought that the other party had a spell or item of the "hidden" type, and when he negotiated with Tu Zifei, the other party might have been hidden by his side. The subsequent exposure is also an inevitable flaw of the "hidden" type of spells or items, that is, the time limit, and there will be the leakage of Yuan Force fluctuations before the time limit is about to expire, so he can perceive it.

But at the same time as he perceived, the other party used the last bit of time to leave, but he didn't leave too far, and after he could recast or use it, there was a follow-up to "Dart Sending Books". Zhuang Renxuan turned his gaze to the people gathered in the corner to the left of the courtyard gate, and he beckoned to one of them, a middle-aged man with a thin body and a rat beard.

This person is the manager of the "Long Song and Dance Workshop", that is, the housekeeper of the courtyard here, and he naturally did not dare not go forward when he was greeted by distinguished guests, and walked to the vicinity of Zhuang Renxuan with fear, and calmed down after hearing the question, and replied respectfully "There is no newcomer". Tu Zifei also determined that this rat beard management courtyard was himself at the same time, and he stayed in the long song and dance workshop for three or five years.

The rat whisker swore to the "Lord Huang Tian" that everyone in the dance theater knew each other, and there were no idlers and so on.

The corners of Zhuang Renxuan's mouth twitched, and he said in his heart, "Lord Huang Tian doesn't accept ordinary oaths, and your oath is equivalent to farting." In fact, the best object of mortal oath is "Heavenly Dao", the great master of Heavenly Dao is in the "entrepreneurial period", as long as he can gain influence, this great lord will take any job.

Zhuang Renxuan didn't need to promote this knowledge with the rat whisker steward, he waved his hand, and the rat whisker steward left with a group of panicked colleagues in gratitude. After only Tu Zifei and Zhuang Renxuan were left in the courtyard, Zhuang Renxuan said to the air, "You have caught our handle, we are willing to listen to the order, I don't know what to do?" ”

Hu Shandiao was still self-examining outside the courtyard at this time, and Zhuang Renxuan deliberately controlled the volume in the courtyard, and Hu Shandiao couldn't hear it if he didn't find out the "soul thought". Therefore, after Zhuang Renxuan waited for a stick of incense, he and Tu Zifei sat down again, and the two of them frowned and thought about this accident.

"No one knows about my trip out of the mountain, and even if they do, the mountain also knows that I am responsible for the affairs of Weicheng, and it is an empty plan to threaten me with this matter. If I am not profitable, it must be your advantage, what has happened to the Eagle Claw Division lately? Zhuang Renxuan asked after pondering carefully.

Tu Zifei thought that there were too many bad things in the Eagle Claw Division, and he also made countless enemies, not to mention the intrigue in the Si Ya, it was difficult to calculate the number of people he had captured in the past 20 years. I didn't know what to say after thinking about it, and the morning and evening reception banquet popped up in my mind, and Tu Zifei said that the freshest thing was that the Eagle Claw Division came to a "adult" who had not dried up.

"Hu Da Eagle?"

Zhuang Renxuan must not remember Hu Shandiao's face, but the name does not exist to remember or not, as long as you want to remember, you will remember, and it just so happens that Zhuang Renxuan has a very impressive impression of the name Hu Dadiao. Zhuang Renxuan's brows tightened, he found that he couldn't describe the appearance of Hu Da Eagle to Tu Zifei, and if he couldn't describe it, he couldn't determine whether this Hu Da Eagle was the other Hu Da Eagle.

Because Liao Longji once launched the Weicheng Eagle Claw word to investigate Hu Shandiao's life, although it was not a big move, Tu Zifei was one of the five leaders of the Eagle Claw, so he was naturally qualified to participate in the investigation. Zhuang Renxuan asked Hu Dadiao for information, Tu Zifei could also say one, two, three, Zhuang Renxuan decided to go back to Zhijun Mountain that night to rummage through the old case to determine whether Hu Dadiao was the one he thought.

Poof, Tu Zifei, who was following behind Zhuang Renxuan, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and looked down at his heart in disbelief, a hole had formed in his heart, and there was a trace of light remaining on the edge of the hole.

"Thunder", Zhuang Renxuan, who was walking in front, felt a warm stamina and reacted quickly, and only after all the precautions were completed did he turn his eyes to Tu Zifei. Tu Zifei was dead at this time, but the body did not fall to the ground, Zhuang Renxuan saw the slightest light at the fatal wound at a glance, he just stepped forward to investigate, and knew that these lights were the remnants of "thunder" just by "looking".

Zhuang Renxuan completely does not understand the enemy's plan in the shadows, if it is said that assassination, there is an opportunity before, not to mention killing Tu Zifei, it is to kill him Zhuang Renxuan, it may not be fatal with one blow, but it is enough to hit hard. Zhuang Renxuan not only recognized that Tu Zifei died from the "thunder", but also knew that such a silent attack was "Xuantong".

Xuantong! Zhuang Renxuan felt powerless.

"If you want to kill Tu Zifei, you can do it before you expose the fluctuation of Yuan Force, but the dart sent a book to express that the other party has no killing intent, but wants to use Tu Zifei or my power to do things. Now that he has killed Tu Zifei again, what has happened? Or is it all immediate? Zhuang Renxuan was sad and angry at the same time, was the other party playing tricks on him?

Hu Shandiao's use of Xuantong "Xiaoleiyin Temple" to kill Tu Zifei was not a temporary intention, but he suddenly remembered that Tu Zifei was not a Chu official, and the civil officials of Chu were divided into "Cheng, Yin, and Xiang", and Cheng and Yin had "auxiliary, servant, positive, less, and discussion" and so on, which was much more complicated than the level of military attachés.

As long as there are "Cheng, Yin, and Xiang" in the official name, only "Captain and General" are the officials of the Chu State, and only "Lieutenant and General" are officials among the military attachés, and Tu Zifei was originally also a Chu official, but now he is only a "fire chief". The fire commander is a grassroots person outside the establishment, and if these personnel outside the establishment die in assassination, Chu Shisi will not interfere.

Officials are a layer of protection for many ordinary people, Xuan Xiu will not kill officials unless necessary, once an official is killed, no matter how low the official rank, as long as it is an official official of Chu State, Chu Shisi will definitely intervene. In the early days of the founding of the Chu Dynasty, Chu Shisi was the strength of a major investigation whenever an official died, which severely shocked the Xuan Xiu in Chu and gave the officials of Chu a sense of security for hundreds of years.

Although the intensity is not so great now, Chu Shisi did not ignore the murder of Chu Guan, and the case completion rate basically reached more than 80%. Therefore, Hu Shandiao did not dare to kill Tu Zifei before, because he was afraid that Chu Shisi would file a case for investigation, but later remembered that Tu Zifei was not a Chu official.

Chu officials still enjoy official rank, that is, they are still protected by Chu Shisi, but if they are dismissed, this protection will be lost, and this is the case with Tu Zifei.

Hu Shandiao didn't know if he had misunderstood Liao Long's arrangement, anyway, he thought that Liao Longji demoted Tu Zifei and the other five people at this time, which was convenient for him to carry out assassination. Smart people always think too much, such as Zhuang Renxuan, Hu Shandiao, who are not too smart, think of one is one, although he likes to list one, two, three and so on.

Killing Tu Zifei inevitably requires a henchman and a qualified eagle claw to replace him, Hu Shandiao is not a temporary idea, naturally someone is chosen. Zhang Fen has stayed in the Weicheng Eagle Claw Division for a long time, and he also has a team to stay in Weicheng, but although Zhang Fen is promoted, his henchmen are still standing aside.

Zhao Ruyi, Qian Tong and other four people are Zhang Fen's henchmen, the original number was seventeen, and the rest of the people complained that Zhang Fen did not help, so they all fell to other powerful figures in the Eagle Claw Division, only Zhao Ruyi, Qian Tong, Gao Lisen and Zhong Tao refused to bow their heads, and finally they were all swept into the "eagle's nest".

The Eagle Claw Division does not only have five halls such as fierce eagles and wandering eagles, but it is these five halls that play the main function; The eagle's nest is the old nest of the eagle talons, the old nest is a place to eat, sleep and so on, and Zhao Ruyi and others are the work of laying quilts, cleaning, and serving dishes. But they are old enough, and in officialdom, seniority is sometimes more important than talent.

Grabbing, it's a dart pass again.

Zhuang Renxuan indifferently pulled the dart off the pillar, "How to persuade Li Hongjie to give up the position of Tu Zifei and agree to the recommendation of the new Captain Eagle Claw?" Please write it on paper and spread it out in an open space. ”

Zhuang Renxuan couldn't help but rub his eyes, and ran to the "Yuan Qi Lamp" to read it several times, and made sure that he didn't have a "lost soul" or old eyes faint, so he roared, "It's such an insult to me, it's a bastard." Before the words were settled, he heard the "thunder" roar, and Zhuang Renxuan's body suddenly stiffened, not that he didn't want to avoid it, but he couldn't avoid it.

Hu Shandiao desperately stuffed the "Hui Yuan Dan" at this time, and the use of the magic weapon "Boundary Dao" to carry out dart transmission is not a big consumption, but the consumption of passing the "Little Leiyin Temple" Xuantong is very great. It was actually too wasteful to kill Tu Zifei before, but the Lord also shocked Zhuang Renxuan, and now the effect is remarkable, and Hu Shandiao is not insulting Zhuang Renxuan, he is sincere in asking for advice.

Zhuang Renxuan's impression of Hu Shandiao is also quite deep, this person is good at dancing with long sleeves in the black scarf army of Zhijun Mountain, although Hu Shandiao has a candidate, but he can't think of a reason to convince Li Hongjie. He wasn't worried that Zhuang Renxuan would know that he was the new lieutenant, so what if he knew? Zhuang Renxuan is a traitor to the party, and whistleblowers will be subject to heavy interrogation.

Hu Shandiao did not have the confidence to do Zhuang Renxuan head-on, otherwise, he would definitely have a face-to-face conversation, and at this time, he could only communicate in the way of boundary + book + Xuantong threat. As for whether there is a trap in the strategy given by Zhuang Renxuan, Hu Shandiao is not stupid, he just lacks ideas, and Zhuang Renxuan's role is to open his mind for him.

Yuan Li slowly became abundant from near exhaustion, and Hu Shandiao's heart slowly relaxed, and what he was most worried about was Zhuang Renxuan's breakthrough when his Yuan Force was exhausted. At this time, Hu Shandiao was helpless, so he could only watch Zhuang Renxuan leave, but fortunately, Zhuang Renxuan was frightened by Xuantong and couldn't figure out the situation, so he still stayed in the dance theater.

Zhuang Renxuan knew very well how difficult it was to obtain Xuantong, to be precise, Xuantong was not "obtained" but naturally appeared after reaching a certain level of spirituality. Xuantong is not a gift from the saints, Xuantong is the awakening of his own bloodline, there is a rumor in the Xuanxiu circle, "Only Xuantong is not fish and meat".

Zhuang Renxuan deeply understood this rumor at this time, he was an experienced Xuan Xiu, and he had a rough guess about the strength of the mysterious person, no matter how strong he was in the fifth echelon, but he was in the fourth echelon. Regardless of whether Sanhua has been strengthened or not, the suppression of the ladder is natural, if it weren't for the other party's Xuantong, Zhuang Renxuan would have broken out of the door a long time ago.

Zhuang Renxuan also regretted a little at this time, when Tu Zifei was not killed by Xuantong, he should have left instead of dispersing the people in the dance theater, and Tu Zifei continued to stay in the dance theater. Of course, this is also because Zhuang Renxuan is conceited enough, he knows the situation in Weidi very well, there is no such thing as Xuanxiu with Xuantong, and the four-ladder Xuanxiu is enough to run rampant in Weidi.

Hu Shandiao asked Zhuang Renxuan to write down the strategy on paper and unfold it in an open place, but he was not afraid of what Zhuang Renxuan would think, so he used the fog mirror to read Zhuang Renxuan's strategy several times. "I should have used the wrong direction", Hu Shandiao thought, he found that Zhuang Renxuan's strategy revealed his understanding of the situation in Weicheng, so he should not ask about the plan, but asked Zhuang Renxuan's Weicheng information.

Zhuang Renxuan can not obey Hu Shandiao like he loves his father, and wrote more than 30 pages, and after these papers disappeared out of thin air for a quarter of an hour, Zhuang Renxuan was sure that the mysterious person had left, so he no longer delayed, and ran back to Zhijun Mountain in a little embarrassment, which became his daily thinking after that.

On March 15, 619 in the national calendar, on the first day of Hu Shandiao's official appointment as the Eagle Claw Division, he had not yet discussed with Li Hongjie about Tu Zifei's succession, and a sharp eagle chirp sounded in the Eagle Claw Division. The eagle means that there is a major case in Weicheng, and a strong department needs to be dispatched collectively, Hu Shandiao put on a big red cloak and led the leaderless fierce eagles to the eagle field to gather.

The reason why the dragons of the fierce eagle are leaderless is naturally that Tu Zifei is dead, but no one has found that Tu Zifei is dead, because the body was taken away by Zhuang Renxuan, which Zhuang Renxuan used to take revenge on Hu Shandiao. Tu Zifei's body was taken away, so Hu Shandiao could not immediately negotiate with Li Hongjie, and it would take some time to determine whether Tu Zifei was dead or missing, or if he slipped away on his own, so Hu Shandiao's action to push people to the top was delayed.

"Sure enough, he is a good candidate for the dog-headed military division", Hu Shandiao praised Zhuang Renxuan, he was not frustrated that he did not take Tu Zifei's body away afterwards, or that the pioneer drove Zhuang Renxuan away, he knew that he was not a smart person and could not cope with too complicated situations, so he learned to walk while falling.

There was a large-scale battle on Xiawei Street, and the fuse was a well.

A total of 11 departments, including the Patrol Division, the City Guard Division, the Eagle Claw Division, the Chu Shi Division, and the Weicheng Prefecture, all sent people to Xiawei Street, and nearly 1,000 people were killed and wounded, which was the biggest incident in Weicheng besides the war. Hu Shandiao circled around the well a few times, he was the top leader of the Eagle Claw Division, Li Hongjie was the number one, he could not appear at the scene, and the leaders of the other divisions also did not appear.

"There's nothing out of the ordinary", Hu Shandiao thought to himself, and then an eagle claw came over and said something related, Hu Shandiao sighed after listening to it, "Feudal superstition kills people!" ”

The location of the well is in the center of the five alleys, and it has also become an important place for hundreds of thousands of people in the five alleys to get water every day, but on the left side of the well is "Qingtan Lane", which is a small place in Weidi, which has its own dialect.

The well is called "oar" in the dialect of the Qingtan people, and the sound of "oar" is equivalent to the "child" of the Qingtan people, and the Qingtan people will not take well water on the first and fifteenth days of the new year. If the well water is taken on the first and fifteenth days of the new year, it means that the "child" is taken away, implying the metaphor of "cutting off the children and grandchildren".

The people living in Cheongdam Alley are all Cheongdam people, observing this time-honored tradition, and at the same time refusing to allow people in the other four alleys to take water. Contradictions have always existed, and the reason why such a big conflict broke out today is that the heads of various departments believe that there must be someone or force behind it.

The Epidemic Department is equivalent to a public hospital, and when an epidemic or major accident occurs in the city, the Epidemic Department will immediately send a large number of doctors and apprentices (equivalent to nurses). Therefore, the Eagle Claw Division is investigating and searching, and the Epidemic Department is rescuing the wounded, carrying corpses, and so on.

The lieutenant already belongs to the top-level official level in Weicheng, and according to the official rank, Hu Shandiao is the commander of the divisions, but he will not be stupid to really command. Obviously, this major accident will be turned into a small matter by the Weicheng government, and the cause of the accident will be discussed by the government, and then it will be determined which department will investigate.

Therefore, the arrival of hundreds or thousands of people from more than a dozen divisions at the scene is just a formality to show an attitude towards the Chinese people, but in fact, the number of Chinese people in Xiawei Street is extremely small. If it happened in Shangwei, Zhongwei and other neighborhoods, the attitude of the Weicheng government would not be so perfunctory.
