Chapter 275: Overture
"When it comes to life and death, the three adults have only one way out, that is, to give their hearts and minds, take out the things that are not visible, and then destroy them in public, or return them to the original owner, only in this way, the wind and rain above their heads will recede, otherwise, it is not easy for the king to win the boat, only the end of the waves hitting the boat overturned.

Duan Pingsheng glanced at Cao An intentionally or unintentionally, and the Xicheng guard immediately stood up with understanding, looked at Ma Tianyuan and Dou Pingnan and said: "Lord Ma, Lord Dou, I really don't hide it, the last general has been worried all these years, he can't sleep at night, and he was blinded by lard, so he found the handle of the two in private." ”
Seeing Ma Tianyuan and Dou Pingnan's expressions change, Cao An gritted his teeth and said: "But don't worry, those things are hidden in my mansion, and no third one knows, and after the banquet, the two adults will follow me back to the mansion and take them away in person!" ”
Hearing this, Ma Tianyuan and Dou Pingnan's expressions improved.
Ma Tianyuan knew that the key now was to help Duan Pingsheng persuade Dou Pingnan, otherwise, even his own life would be in danger, so after Cao An's voice fell, he echoed expressionlessly: "General Cao's words are very good, and the old man should be the same!" ”
For the cooperation of these two people, Duan Pingsheng was happy in his eyes. Cao An is nothing, Ma Tianyuan is the key, as Duan Pingsheng expected, the difficulty of letting Ma Tianyuan loose is easier than doing the work of Tong Dou Pingnan, he is just a simple understanding of emotion and reason, so Ma Tianyuan has to let go of hatred, and take the initiative to help Duan Pingsheng.
There is no way, everyone is a grasshopper on a rope, if Ma Tianyuan doesn't follow Duan Pingsheng's footwork, he will only end up sadly.
looked at Cao An, and then at Ma Tianyuan, Dou Pingnan, who looked restless, finally made a decision, he put down the wine glass in his hand, and filled it for all the people present, his eyes closed and opened, flashing with perseverance: "The meaning of the prince, the contemptible people understand, the kindness of the two adults, I also understand it, since it has reached the moment of life and death, I simply let it go and gamble with the prince!" ”
"Please!"
When the words fell, Dou Pingnan raised his head suddenly, and drank all the wine in the cup, Duan Pingsheng noticed the gaze of Cao An and Ma Tianyuan, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then drank all the wine in the cup, and the other two were not to be outdone, they respected each other from afar, and the liquor entered their throats.
And this announced that Duan Pingsheng temporarily pulled these three Xicheng dignitaries into his command, he did not rush to announce the opening of the banquet, but first called Guo Mu in, introduced each other, and the banquet officially began.
During the banquet, they did not talk about national affairs, nor did they mention the political situation in Youzhou, and they didn't know who started it, but Cao An and Ma Tianyuan, who were more talkative, began to talk about the customs and customs of various parts of the Central Plains. Of course, the five big men sit together, and the topic will always turn in certain directions, and after a while, what Yangzhou thin horse and Dongting rouge will all come out, of course, everyone here is also decent people, and their words are obscure, most of them are just a word, and they don't say anything foul in public.
When the banquet was in full swing, Duan Pingsheng took the time to ask Dou Pingnan about the small courtyard that Li Changlin specially visited, what was the clue?
Duan Pingsheng did not disclose Li Changlin's information, but in his three-word narration, Dou Pingnan immediately knew what he meant, and Guo Mu, who was beside him, also quietly stopped his chopsticks, ready to listen to Dou Pingnan's introduction.
"Lord Wang, what you asked, in fact, everyone in Xicheng knows everything."
Dou Pingnan saw Duan Pingsheng's face surprised, poured himself a glass of wine, and said slowly: "Speaking of which, it goes back to twenty years ago, when I was still a scholar who was determined to study, and the woman of that family came to Youzhou City alone. The woman's appearance is not as good as the country's and the city's, but it is not much worse, so there are many people in Youzhou City who come to propose marriage, and there are even more people who intend to rob it! ”
"It's just that it was rumored at the beginning that Martial King Li Changfeng seemed to have fallen in love with that woman, so he didn't make a move. But the people who propose marriage every day are about to step on the threshold of the woman's house, but she refuses one by one, so that all the people who propose relatives are gloomy, at that time, there are rumors that the woman has a high vision, and the proud son of heaven like King Wu will not marry, but the strange thing is that the Mansion of King Wu has not moved from beginning to end. ”
"Time is like this, the woman lived in Youzhou City for a year, and there was still an endless stream of people who came to the door to ask for relatives, but the woman refused all, and later, the wealthy magnates saw her resolute attitude, so they also broke off the idea of asking for marriage, only when she was destined to fly into the Phoenix Gate of the Wuwang Mansion."
Speaking of this, Dou Pingnan bought a pass: "Lord Wang, guess what happened?" ”
Duan Pingsheng shook his head, and said in his heart, who do you ask me, who do I ask? In Li Jiangnan's memory, there has never been such a thing, and according to his understanding, the martial king Li Changfeng only has two wives and concubines, one is Li Changfeng's biological mother, and the other is Xuanhua's wife Song Zhi, and there is no third woman to become a princess.
But Guo Mu suddenly said at this time: "That woman suddenly went crazy. ”
"General Guo Xiao is right! One night, there was a scream in the courtyard where the woman lived, and the next day, everyone saw the woman go crazy into the streets. Dou Pingnan's eyes showed a hint of complexity, "It's strange that I don't know what happened in that courtyard that night?" And the government has always turned a blind eye to this matter, just like that, the woman wandered around Xicheng during the day, and returned to her small courtyard at night, day after day, for twenty years, rain or shine! ”
"How can such a thing happen?"
Duan Pingsheng's eyebrows were raised, and the figure of the woman also appeared in his mind, not long ago, he took a small stool all over the city to find a private school, and then confronted Zhang Yu, who was the master and grandson, in Xicheng, and then Zhang Yu was angry with Duan Ping, and collided with the crazy woman on the street.
Zhang Yu wanted to arrest a woman to see an official, Duan Pingsheng and the small stool theorized for the woman, and in the end, thanks to Xu Sang's appearance, the woman was spared the pain of flesh and skin.
It turned out that the crazy woman still had this kind of experience, and the good one, the general in the palace specially came to visit!
There must be something related to this!
Duan Pingsheng nodded secretly with great certainty, and then he asked again: "Lord Dou, you said that it was rumored in Youzhou City at that time that King Wu also took a fancy to that woman, how credible is it?" ”
Dou Pingnan has a big hand: "Five points!" ”
"Oh?" Duan Pingsheng raised his eyebrows, half of his credibility was not low, "Why do you say this?" ”
"Because the contemptible person had seen it with his own eyes, King Wu said the word 'good couple Tiancheng' to the woman on the street! And this scene was also seen by many people in Xicheng, because that day happened to be the first day that the woman came to Youzhou. ”
Saying that, Dou Pingnan frowned: "It stands to reason that King Wu has said the word "good couple", so this should not be a rumor, but a fact, but the scene at that time is still fresh in the memory of the contemptible people." King Wu just sat in the carriage, gently lifted the curtain and said this, and then lowered the curtain and walked away! So, that's why I say that the rumor is five points credible! ”
At this time, Guo Mu said coldly: "Lord Dou's opinion is good, because at that time, Princess Wu was pregnant, and she came to Xicheng that day in order to stay in Zhu Yuan to raise the fetus with peace of mind. ”
"I haven't heard of this matter."
Dou Pingnan shook his head slightly, and Guo Mu explained lightly: "No way, that woman is really famous in Xicheng, when she was a child, she was curious to ask her father-in-law and mother-in-law, and they were impatient with my question, so they revealed some information." ”
Hearing this, Duan Pingsheng's eyes lit up, and he had a rough guess in his heart, so he didn't continue to ask about the matter, but instead concentrated on drinking with others, until the guests were happy, and Cao An, Ma Tianyuan, and Dou Pingnan left together.
Duan Pingsheng knew that the three of them had sold the stolen goods, but what Ma Tianyuan and Dou Pingnan didn't know was that in fact, Cao An had already handed over the incriminating evidence about the two to Duan Pingsheng. Duan Pingsheng planned that if Ma Tianyuan and Dou Pingnan refused to submit to him, then he would let them die, fortunately, the situation went more smoothly than expected, and then waited for these three people to properly grasp some typical examples, and handed them over to him to make final negotiations with Nie Fengdi.
This fire is bound to burn from the devastated Xicheng, Duan Pingsheng has no ability to run Xicheng as a monolith, so he is bound to give up, not to mention those who have become typical existences, and they are no longer suitable to become Duan Pingsheng's subordinates.
Instructed Jia Longyang to continue to lead the three hundred border troops to spend all day and wine, Duan Pingsheng also parted ways with Guo Mu, sat in the carriage, and rushed to the palace.
At this time, the sun was setting a little west, and it was the hottest time of the day, and the leaves of the trees on the roadside were hanging listlessly, and one of them fell without wind, and suddenly it was actually into the carriage with the curtain open.
Duan Pingsheng didn't wait for the blade to fall completely, so he suddenly waved out two silver needles and nailed them firmly to the wall of the carriage, and at this time, looking at the blade, it was densely written with small characters, Duan Pingsheng glanced at it, then pinched the silver needle, took the leaf off the carriage, turned it over and looked, on the back of the blade, there was a dark red caterpillar lying on his stomach.
With Duan Pingsheng's knowledge, he couldn't even recognize the name of this caterpillar, but he didn't have to think about it to know that this thing must be highly poisonous!
Throwing it out the window, Duan Pingsheng recalled the words on the blade and smiled coldly.
This temptation was the handiwork of the Qitian Guild, and after a few days of hibernation, these people finally couldn't bear it anymore, and the dark red caterpillar was the precursor to the attack. Thinking of this, Duan Pingsheng couldn't help but mock in his heart: "Want to sneak into the palace tonight and take down the king's head?" Oh, don't look at what this place is! Just take this opportunity to complete the main quest of the eighth ring! ”
The carriage stopped in front of the palace gate, and Duan Pingsheng was welcomed in by the chief butler Shen Gong, walked through the gossip array that was being repaired in a hurry, and stood on the edge of the blue lake.
Right here, the ghost hand unintentionally and silently passed through the underground waterway, sneaked into the palace, and cast a yin poison spell on Duan Pingsheng, this person has many contradictions with the Qitian Guild, and now he should have reached a contact with the fish in water, but I don't know, how far their negotiations have been? And tonight's chaotic battle in the palace, will they get involved?
……
Just when Duan Pingsheng was thinking about how he would use the ghost hand to be unintentional, this immortal man angrily scolded Duan Pingsheng in his heart for not doing things authentically!
Because he had already discovered that he had actually fallen under the surveillance of others, and he knew through immortal magic that these people were all from Zhenlong Pavilion.
Although he didn't know why Zhenlong Pavilion took the initiative to go into battle, he could probably guess that seven or eight out of ten of this matter was related to Duan Ping's survival, and besides, it was not unintentional with the ghost hand.
Last night, after the ghost hand unintentionally ran into a wall in the Wuwang Mansion, he found the place where the fish was in the water overnight.
Fish in the water is a little puzzled how the former old subordinates found out about their existence, and the ghost hand unintentionally swears that he has never exposed his whereabouts to others. He still knows a little about the ghost and the fish, he knows that this guy is not ambitious, and he has a lot of secrets hidden in him.
Unlike Duan Pingsheng, instead of refusing Ghost Hand Wuxin's request, Yu Deshui took the initiative to invite Ghost Hand Wuxin to join his command.
However, Ghost Hand Wuxin also knows what kind of temperament his old boss is, so he only talks about transactions in his words, so it is a pity to let the fish who intends to kill Ghost Hand Unintentionally get water.
Now in the face of the secret agent of Zhenlong Pavilion, it makes Yu Deshui feel a headache, others don't know the horror of Zhenlong Pavilion, as an immortal, he can still appreciate a thing or two, don't look at the Zhenlong Pavilion Lord Zhuang Bancheng is not skilled in martial arts, but his authority is ten thousand times stronger than ordinary door masters.
Considering the terrible nature of Zhenlong Pavilion, Yu Deshui did not get rid of those spy agents, but pretended to be nothing, performed the duties of the Longmen subordinates, shared the worries of Luo Hou, and by the way, saddled up the horse for Nie Fengdi, who had just taken office.
Yes, after the saddle and the horse, when he became a big celebrity in front of Luo Hou, he followed and won the trust of the cold-faced judge.
If you want to say that the hottest character in Youzhou City recently, except for Duan Pingsheng, it should be someone else.
Not only does he have a few cases in Longmen at hand, but he also has to cooperate with Nie Fengdi to investigate some things, which can be described as a lack of skills, but even if he plans to pretend to be a good person for a few days temporarily, trouble will still come to the door automatically.
The ghost hand unintentionally saw the leaf that was thrown away by Duan Pingsheng, and then hurriedly contacted Yu Deshui, wanting to ask him if he would participate in tonight's operation. Of course, Ghost Hand Unintentionally did not come forward directly, but his whereabouts were still discovered by the secret agents of Zhenlong Pavilion, and he was in water with official business, and he didn't want to meddle in this matter, so he could only say that he was blessed, and Ghost Hand Wuxin immediately sneaked into the shadows, frantically avoiding the search of the Zhenlong Pavilion.
Sensing that all the people who were monitoring him had disappeared, Yu Deshui breathed a sigh of relief, he stretched lazily, and then said in his heart: "Tut-tut, I guess there is a good show to watch tonight, what are you going to see?" Or go check it out? ”
