The face is good and the heart is evil
Sheng Ming, Jin Sheng and Hu Jingpei walked in Wenhui City, and they were about to arrive at Hu's house.
Sheng Ming arched his hand and said to Hu Jingpei: "Brother Hu, my brother and I still have something to do, let's go and do it first." ”
Hu Jingpei hurriedly said, "Brother Sheng, what's the matter?" Why don't you let your little brother accompany you! ”
"It's all trivial, Brother Hu has a lot of opportunities every day, and he works hard for family affairs, so he doesn't have to run around for our little things. When we're done, we'll have to bother Brother Hu. ”
Hu Jingpei said: "Where is it? When you are done, you must come to the house. ”
Although Hu Jingpei did not follow Jin Sheng and Sheng Ming, in the name of helping. called two masters of the house and followed the two of them.
Walking on the street, the four of them walked to an intersection, and Sheng Ming glanced at Jin Sheng. The two of them suddenly ran in two directions, and the two people who were ordered to watch had to chase after each other.
Sheng Ming's light work was very good, and after a while, he left the people who were watching far away, and he was dizzy, not knowing where Sheng Ming went.
Jin Sheng ran into the alleyway, and the people who were watching Jin Sheng were very happy. He thought that if he drove Jin Sheng to a dead end and snatched the sword, he would make a great achievement.
The watchman saw Jin Sheng walk into a dead end, and he quickly followed. When he secretly rejoiced, there was nothing in the alley. He searched around in a panic, he didn't believe that meritorious deeds would become the crime of beheading in the blink of an eye.
Jin Sheng used his mind to teleport and also shook off the people who were watching, and when Jin Sheng walked to the intersection just now, Sheng Ming had been waiting for a long time.
Sheng Ming walked straight to the city, and Jin Sheng asked, "Brother Ming, why don't we go out of the city and escape?" ”
"I think the Hu family and the Li family in the city have already secretly colluded and acted in cahoots, and it is very likely that we will not be able to get out of the city, and even if we go out, we will definitely become chased and killed. After all, they know your sword, a royal weapon is worth a family's everything. ”
"They don't dare to make a mistake in the city, after all, this is the territory of the Cao family, and it is not necessary to go out of the city."
"Brother Ming, what should we do then?"
Sheng Ming said: "We should stay in the city and go to the Cao family, they will not dare to make a mistake." ”
Jin Sheng and Sheng Ming walked straight to the inner city, and they came to the palace gate of the inner city. Tried to get in, but was blocked by the soldiers.
The soldiers looked at Jin Sheng and Sheng Ming's nobodies, no matter what they said, the soldiers just couldn't move, they just didn't let them in.
Sheng Ming knew that it would not work like this, and the people of the Hu family should already know it. He had no choice but to pull Jin Sheng and walk to the corner. Said:
"Shi Hongyu, there is no way, I can only go in quietly. Wrap your sword up first, or it will be too eye-catching. The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty! ”
Jin Sheng wrapped his sword tightly, and the two of them flew into the inner city from the corner.
The two of them were walking sneakily in the inner city, and Jin Sheng asked, "Brother Ming, we came in, what should we do now?" ”
Sheng Ming pondered for a moment and said: "I heard that Cao Yuan, the current city lord of Wenhui City, is a prodigal son who doesn't learn and has no skills, builds a lot of buildings, and has fun all day long, and is an out-and-out loser, I'm afraid we can't go to him." ”
However, everyone said that his uncle "Cao Nanlei", the deputy city lord of Wenhui City, was loyal, sympathetic to the people, and had close contacts with the people of the rivers and lakes. I think if we tell him the secret of the Hu and Li families' cultivation of soldiers and food and the private manufacture of weapons, he should ensure our safety. ”
After saying that, they grabbed a patrolling soldier and asked the deputy city lord Cao Nanlei where he lived. Sheng Ming knocked the soldier unconscious, and the two of them found Cao Nanlei's mansion according to the route provided by the soldier.
Along the way, Jin Sheng and Sheng Ming kept dodging the patrols of the soldiers, and Jin Sheng said: "Such a big inner city, why don't there be people!" ”
Sheng Ming replied: "I think the people in the inner city should be the immediate family members of the Cao family. They all lived in the inner city, and the people were not qualified to come in. ”
The two quickly found Cao Nanlei's mansion and flew in. They went first to the main hall and found no one; I went to the study again and found a person practicing calligraphy.
They rushed directly into the study and saw a man with good facial features and a long chin beard, and they were sure that this person was Cao Nanlei.
Cao Nanlei looked up at them. At this time, the guards of the Cao family also rushed in and asked, "My lord, these two thieves, do you want to take them?" ”
Sheng Ming arched his hand at Cao Nanlei and said, "Lord Cao, I have something important to report to you, please give the villain a chance to speak." ”
Cao Nanlei waved his hand and motioned for his subordinates to go out. After his subordinates went out, Cao Nanlei said, "Who are you? Don't be afraid, say it! Anything, I'll keep you safe. ”
Sheng Ming told him the names of himself and Jin Sheng, and told Cao Nanlei about the Hu and Li families' secret collusion and conspiracy, as well as the Hu family's behavior of raising soldiers and forging weapons.
Cao Nanlei listened to Sheng Ming's narration, his expression was first taken aback, then became very frightened, and finally became very calm. Sheng Ming saw all this.
After Sheng Ming finished speaking, Cao Nanlei arched his hand and said, "Two sons, thank you." You go and rest first, and my son and I are talking in detail during dinner. ”
After speaking, Cao Nanlei asked the housekeeper to quickly arrange a place to live for Jin Sheng and Sheng Ming.
Jin Sheng and Sheng Ming came to the guest room, there was no need to worry about it, Jin Sheng was very happy. He jumped into bed and prepared for a good night's sleep.
Sheng Ming sat on the stool, he had a bad premonition, but he didn't know what it was. looked at the sullen Sheng Ming. Jin Sheng asked:
"Brother Ming, what's wrong? I feel that this Cao Nan or something is still good, so don't be suspicious, hurry up and rest. ”
Jin Sheng rolled around the bed a few times and fell asleep, Sheng Ming didn't feel sleepy, so he had to continue to think about how to deal with it.
Soon it was time for dinner, and the next person came to call Jin Sheng and Sheng Ming to come over for dinner. Jin Sheng and Sheng Ming couldn't excuse themselves, so they went.
Along the way, Sheng Ming found something similar to Hu Mansion, and the soldiers and guards in Cao's Mansion all hung bronze medals. However, Sheng Ming found that they were at least second-rate masters of the Yellow Order, and many of them were first-class masters.
Sheng Ming saw it and understood a little. This must be a grand conspiracy that has been planned for a long time.
Jin Sheng and Sheng Ming came to the place of the dinner, and Cao Nanlei hurriedly greeted him and said:
"Two young heroes, dinner has been prepared, please eat! Sheng Shaoxia, the old man has never seen a young hero like you, you and I must have a few drinks today. ”
Sheng Ming listened to Cao Nanlei's kind words, and was very angry, but it was not easy to attack. He had to hold back and look around, and he found that he and Jin Sheng were already in danger.
Sheng Ming found that there were already many masters in ambush in the room, and there must have been people outside the room.
At this time, Cao Nanlei handed over the wine glasses, one to Sheng Ming, and the other to Jin Sheng. Sheng Ming took the wine glass and said, "My brother should not drink, please bear with me." ”
Cao Nanlei was not unhappy at all, and still said with a smile: "It should be fine to take a small sip, just take a sip!" ”
Sheng Ming took the two wine glasses and handed a glass of wine to Jin Sheng. Sheng Ming smashed the wine glass at the subordinate behind Jin Sheng, and took advantage of the situation to pull out the jade soul sword on Jin Sheng's back.
Sheng Ming put the sword on Cao Nanlei's neck, and Cao Nanlei was frightened. Sheng Ming looked at the subordinate who was smashed by the wine glass. The man was a second-rate master, but at this moment he covered his eyes and fell to the ground and rolled on the ground.
Sheng Ming smiled and said, "My lord, what a good means!" I want to be poisoned below. ”
Seeing Cao Nanlei being held by a sword around his neck, the people in ambush rushed in. Sheng Ming looked at this group of people who were mainly second-rate masters and first-class masters. Said:
"Lord Cao really lifted us up, so many masters made my hands tremble. If your hands shake and hurt an adult, you can't afford it! ”
Cao Nanlei hurriedly said: "Hurry up and get out!" After the group withdrew, they whispered, "Two young heroes, what do you want?" The old man promises you, don't be impulsive! ”
Sheng Ming said: "We just want to go out safely, and the adults have to be wronged." ”
Sheng Ming grabbed Cao Nanlei's shoulder with one hand, and put the sword on Cao Nanlei's neck with the other. Jin Sheng followed, and the three of them walked out of the dinner together.
No one dared to stop them along the way, and the three of them walked straight to the gate of Cao's mansion. Sheng Ming said to Cao Nanlei: "Thank you to the two of you today, don't hang up, let's go." ”
After speaking, Sheng Ming slapped Cao Nanlei on the back, turned around and flew away with Jin Sheng.
At this time, Cao Fu and his entourage hurriedly helped Cao Nanlei up and asked if the adult was okay! Cao Nanlei stood up and slapped him, and shouted loudly: "Go and chase it, don't come back if you can't catch it." ”
Jin Sheng and Sheng Ming began to run away aimlessly, they didn't know where to go at this time, but their speed was not slow, and they threw off the people of Cao Mansion at once.
At this time, a person's back appeared in front of Sheng Ming and Jin Sheng, and Sheng Ming saw that this person was not simple. He said: "Senior, the two of us have offended a lot when we pass through here, please bear with me." ”
The man turned around, and Sheng Ming and Jin Sheng saw a man dressed in gray, with braided hair, dull eyes, and a few wrinkles on his face.
He saw the sword in Sheng Ming's hand, and his dull eyes suddenly lit up. He said, "What a good sword, it won't work in your hands, give it to me!" ”
Jin Sheng shouted: "Who are you! Why give it to you. ”
Although Sheng Ming was also very angry, he knew that this person was not easy to mess with. I had to say politely: "The predecessors' martial arts are world-famous, how can you borrow something else." Let me and both of you go! ”
The man said, "If you want to go, you can." Leave your sword behind, and you're good to go. ”
Sheng Ming knew that this battle was inevitable, and he whispered to Jin Sheng: "Wait a minute, you go first, we will meet at the old place this morning." ”
Jin Sheng knew that this was the only way, so he didn't say anything.
At this time, the man flew towards Jin Sheng and Sheng Ming, Sheng Ming rushed up and said to Jin Sheng, "Hurry up." ”
The man slapped two palms in the air and said, "If you want to leave, no one can go." ”
Jin Sheng teleported his mind, dodged this palm at once, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, and the person had no choice.
At this time, Sheng Ming's sword had already stabbed towards the man.
