Chapter 13: Killing
Ouyang Shu also knew that this matter was very important, and if he received this token, he would attract countless jealous eyes. What he hopes most now is to keep a low profile and steadily put his son on the throne of the emperor, one to save his life and not to be killed by Zhao Xu, and the other is to complete the grand wish of the Qianlong Pavilion for a hundred years, so that he can comfort the spirit of his ancestors in the sky.
Out of these considerations, he hurriedly excused himself and said: Your Majesty, by all means, this token is too important for the ministers to bear!
Zhao Xu shouted angrily: "If you are told to take it, you will take it!" Do you know that although I am not a Ming monarch, I am definitely the most daring emperor since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty. I know that if you hold this token, someone will be jealous of you and will attack you. If I couldn't hold this idea, how could I have relegated almost all the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty to a remote place to clear the wasteland in less than a year after I became in power?
Although he was conceited, he was not exaggerating. Indeed, since the Song Dynasty, due to the huge power of the prime minister, there are great constraints on the imperial power, and most of the emperors are indecisive and indecisive. And Zhao Xu is undoubtedly the emperor who grasps the imperial power the most firmly and has the most ruthless means. He naturally listens to the advice of the officials when he wants to listen to it, and when he doesn't want to listen to it, he will not take it seriously at all.
Ouyang Shu had no choice but to reach out and take the token, and said some nonsense like the emperor's grace. Zhao Xu said: Aiqing, you go back first, about Hao Sui's case, I will listen to your report at any time.
Ouyang Shu said: Yes! He glanced deeply at the little yellow door that was still kneeling on the ground in a daze, and then turned to leave.
When Ouyang Shu walked away, Zhao Xu suddenly turned back to the little yellow door and said: You are well-informed, fast in your hands and feet, and flexible in your brain, which is very rare!
How did the little yellow door know that what Zhao Xu said at this time was the opposite, and thought that the grace of heaven was vast, and he favored him, so he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly kowtowed: It's just that the official family has cultivated meritorious, and the slaves and maids don't dare to take credit, they just know that they are dedicated to their duties and loyal to the officials.
Zhao Xu stretched out his hand to stop him, and said: It's your own credit is your own credit, I don't dare to take credit. I was thinking, a capable minister like you, I really wronged you a little in the East Gate Errand in the business, but I have a more suitable messenger for you who wants to entrust you to do it, I'm afraid you will be unwilling!
Xiao Huangmen was simply overjoyed, but he felt that the official family's words were simply too polite, so polite that he didn't know what to say.
The slave and maid only think about serving the official family, and as for where they are on errands and what errands they do, the slave and maid don't care!
Zhao Xu looked at the little yellow door with a look of approval: This is good. I've heard that the sprinkling and sweeping class has been going on recently
The three words of the sweeping class, the joy on his face suddenly disappeared. It turned out that this sprinkler and sweeping class was the most oily, tired, and error-prone department among the internal servants of the Great Song Dynasty. Their job is simple, that is, to take care of the flowers and trees in the palace and clean the courtyard. Generally speaking, the sprinkle sweeping class is actually a job used to punish the eunuchs, even if the head of the squad is much worse than the small eunuchs who serve by the emperor's side.
The sprinkling and sweeping yard of the sprinkler sweeping class is a job that can exercise people very well, so you can go and be a sprinkler and sweep the yard!
The little yellow door was stunned for a moment, and Zhao Xu suddenly said angrily: Why, don't you want to?
The little yellow door was startled, and hurriedly kowtowed: The slave and maid don't dare, the slave and the maid don't dare, and the slave and maid will go to the post immediately!
Ouyang Shu saw this woman's eyes, and his heart was suddenly shocked, the secret way was not good, his hands quickly retracted, and he wanted to dodge to the side, but in this carriage, there were already two people, and half of the female assassin's body had already come in, so where was there room to move around!
The female assassin had already swung out her sword in her right hand, and it was impossible to take it back and stab Ouyang Shu. But her left hand was just as flexible, and she reached out, grabbed Ouyang Shu's shirt, and threw it back.
Ouyang Shu had never felt so fragile, but he felt that his body was like a paper kite, and he floated out with a gust of clouds and fog in the wind, and said secretly in his heart: Today is the end!
However, when his body began to fall, the afterglow of his eyes swept down, and his heart began to secretly cry out for luck again. It turned out that it was the horse pulling the cart below, and with this brother as a cushion, it might be a blessing in disguise, not only did his life be spared, but he took the opportunity to escape the clutches of the female assassin. As for the beautiful woman in the car, I, Ouyang Shu, have done my best, so do it yourself!
Before he could do it, his body had fallen heavily on the horse's back, and although he was still quite strong, it was still too far behind the horse. For a moment, his limbs suddenly felt sore. Before he could react, with a long neighing of the horse, he felt a jolt under him, and his body involuntarily fell to the ground!
With a snap, Ouyang Shu finally fell to the ground, although there was a sharp pain on his body, but he still had a burst of joy: fortunately, he didn't land on the ground first!
The female assassin was originally shaken off, thinking that this pervert would definitely die an ugly death this time, and for a while she actually forgot to continue the assassination, but looked back and admired the process of the pervert's tragic death. When she saw that Ouyang Shu was so good, and she could still escape with her life under such circumstances, she secretly called it a pity. However, she didn't give up continuing to chase and kill Ouyang Shu's ** head, but what she had to deal with in front of her was Zhao Jing! After all, the target of their assassination this time was Zhao Jing. For a person as trained as her, a little personal grievance could only distract her for a moment, but not make her completely lose her mind. Besides, she still has a simple ** head in her heart, which is to solve Zhao Jing with a sword, and then turn around and take Ouyang Shu's life.
However, when she raised her sword again and wanted to stab at Zhao Jing, she suddenly heard a strong wind blowing behind her. She was shocked, knowing that there was already a master behind her. And according to the momentum of this strong wind, she knows that even if she is face-to-face, she may not be someone's opponent, and at this time, with her back to this person, if she doesn't dodge in time, there is no reason to be lucky.
So, she didn't care about continuing to assassinate Zhao Jing, her body flipped backwards on the spot, her toes just touched the ground, and she flipped over again. These two somersaults are like a great force, the movements are coherent and beautiful, and they can be described as busy but not chaotic, retreating but not defeated. Light work is originally her forte.
However, she had just touched the ground, and she hadn't had time to see the figure in front of her clearly, but when she saw a burst of dazzling sword light coming, she didn't think about it, and immediately swung her sword to block it.
But when she heard it properly, the two swords intersected, and the long sword in the female assassin's hand was immediately broken in two! She was horrified, knowing that the other party had shattered her long sword purely with deep internal force. Thinking about it this way, with the opponent's martial arts, even if she has a strong soldier in hand, she has no hope of winning at all, not to mention that the blades have been lost at this time! At the moment, she didn't dare to entangle more, and immediately shouted: Withdraw!
When the black-clothed men heard this, they all used the most powerful move in their lives, forced back the enemy in front of them at once, turned around and fled into the alley on the side of the road. Although they are at an absolute disadvantage and can escape instantly, you have to say that these people are very good at assassination, and they have all practiced a set of escape tricks.
And when the female assassin said this, she was determined to die. I don't want to be safe and sound at this time, and I can't help but be stunned. Although she is strong in martial arts, she is not the opponent of the attacker in front of her, and she only planned to make a statement to remind her companion to escape, which can be regarded as wielding her last bit of effect. As for his own life, since he can exchange the lives of so many companions, it can be regarded as worth it.
However, I didn't expect that the other party didn't take advantage of the opportunity. She looked forward in a daze, and saw a man in black coming with a sword, his eyes were full of surprise, and he muttered: It turns out that you are not from the Ming Sect!
The female assassin's eyes flashed, and she suddenly realized that she had no weapon at hand, and the other party still had a long sword in her hand. Besides, the opponent's martial arts are much stronger than his own, and he still has a blade at hand, and it is difficult to shake it.
At that moment, she didn't hesitate any longer, turned over and went to the periphery.
Several of the guards were eager to keep the female assassin behind, but seeing that she was so skillful, they knew that they could not keep her on their own. Moreover, although the new man in black helped the princess break the siege, he still did not distinguish between friend and foe. His martial arts are much stronger than this female assassin, and if he intends to be unfavorable to the princess, it will be a big trouble. So, for them, the priority is not how to hunt down the assassin, but to prevent this mysterious man in black from rioting and hurting people.
At that moment, they didn't care about the female assassin, they all rushed forward, gathered around the side of the carriage, and several pairs of vigilant eyes were motionless on the man in black, waiting for him to make a move that was unfavorable to the princess, and immediately rushed up and killed him.
Ouyang Shu, who was secretly rejoicing, suddenly looked up and saw the man in black, and his heart suddenly shook wildly: My mother! Isn't this the perverted killer? Lao Tzu is really miserable, he has just escaped the pursuit of the female evil star, and he has fallen into the hands of this guy again. This is really a narrow road!
Thinking so, he couldn't help but slowly retreat to the side, hoping that the perverted killer wouldn't see him.
However, it backfired, although the perverted killer did not make any movement in his hands, his eyes glanced at it, but Zhan Zhan's gaze happened to fall on Ouyang Shu.
