Chapter 50: Apology
"Then Zhao wishes Hall Master Song a smooth promotion."
"Lord Xie Zhao Ji Yan."
Song Shangfei replied to him and left in style, followed by Xie Yinling.
Jiang Kuo, who was next to him, finally opened his mouth and asked after seeing them leave: "Lord Zhao, is this Song Hall Master really reliable?" ”
"At the moment, he is the only one who can be invited, and it is better to spend more silver than to let Du Xun run away." Zhao Jinglei sighed.
"But now we don't know where Du Xun is hiding, does the Phantom Hall really have that ability?" Jiang Kuo was still very worried.
"The Phantom Hall is a well-known assassination organization today, and its strength is not much worse than that of the Wuqing faction." Zhao Jinglei suddenly paused after speaking, and asked Jiang Kuo sideways, "Do you still remember Zhang Ou, a death row criminal who has been wanted by the government for two years?" ”
"I know a little bit about it, Zhang Ou is a first-class master in the martial arts, good at hiding traces, it is said that his martial arts are not much worse than Wu Zhangmen, since he was on the wanted list, he has not acted to kill people again, as if he disappeared, when Lord Du was in charge of the case for more than a year and has been fruitless, and finally I don't know who put the corpse in front of Du Mansion, so the case was closed, but why this corpse appeared in Du Mansion has always been a mystery case."
"Actually, it's been found out above, guess who did it?" Zhao Jinglei deliberately played dumb riddles, and his expression was slightly serious.
Jiang Kuo thought for a moment, but he couldn't guess who had such ability, "Jiang Kuo doesn't know. ”
"That's what the Phantom Hall did." Zhao Jinglei gave the answer.
"How so?" Jiang Kuo was surprised when he heard this.
Zhao Jinglei slowly said what happened, "I don't know how Zhang Ou offended a powerful man in Chang'an, and provoked the big man to spend a lot of money to hunt down Zhang Ou in the Phantom Hall, at that time, the master of the Song Hall took over the business and promised that within three months, the corpse would be presented." ”
Two months later, Zhang Ou's hiding place was exposed, and the Phantom Hall dispatched four protectors to take him down in one fell swoop, and then Zhang Ou's body was sent to the big man overnight, although Zhang Ou was dead, but the hatred in the big man's heart was incomprehensible, and he ordered that night in addition to his face intact, all other body parts of Zhang Ou should be destroyed, and the picture was simply miserable. Zhang Ou's corpse was thrown in front of the Du Mansion by the big man, because of the high position and power of the big man, the reason for this was secretly suppressed, if it wasn't for Lord Du who was drunk and talked to me once, I didn't know that the Phantom Hall was so powerful. ”
"Since there are so many masters in the Phantom Hall, why don't you accept them for the use of the imperial court?"
"Song Shangfei's father was killed by the eunuchs, and he especially hated the people who were officials, and no one could ask him if it had nothing to do with money."
"Jiang Kuoyin is white."
"Jiang guards can stay and watch the battle, and Zhao has to go back to the house to prepare for the silver tael first."
"Then Lord Zhao will walk slowly, and Jiang Kuo will return to the house to report the situation after watching the competition of the Song Hall Master."
"Hmm."
In Fanzhi Street, Wu Lingshuang was fighting with his opponent.
Li Yibi came over after the trial, just in time, and soon after He Yuxiang Zhong Nan and Lu Rui also came, and the five of them were watching the battle on the second floor.
Zhong Mu inadvertently noticed that Wu Lingshuang would glance at them from time to time, as if he was looking for someone.
Li Yi looked at the ring intently, and suddenly smiled without showing his teeth, Zhong Mu couldn't help but ask curiously, "What is Brother Li Yi laughing at?" ”
"Huh?" was called by name, Li Yi was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at Zhong Mu.
"From the beginning of Miss Wu's competition, Brother Li Yi seemed to be very happy, could it be that Miss Wu's swordsmanship is problematic?"
"No, Amu, you're too worried." Li Yi replied, turned his head and continued to look at the ring, Wu Lingshuang swept with one move, although the other party took it, but at this time, Wu Lingshuang suddenly flew around the opponent's back, caught the other party off guard, Li Yi suddenly spoke: "This move is very good." ”
Zhong Mu was also watching, "What a surprise, it seems that Miss Wu has the chance to win." ”
The other party was frustrated one after another, his expression was angry, his moves were anxious, and his panic was full of flaws, Wu Lingshuang took this opportunity to win easily in a few moves.
Wu Lingshuang put away his sword and glanced at the second floor, and then stepped down.
There was a stir in the audience, since Wu Lingshuang came to the stage, the swordsmen who came from the audience cheered continuously, until Wu Lingshuang left, many swordsmen were amazed at how there could be such a stunning and beautiful woman in the world, just one glance, there are no regrets in this life.
It didn't take long for Ah Nian to walk behind Zhong Mu and say, "Eldest son, Miss Wu Lingshuang asks to see you." ”
Zhong Mu said: "Hurry up, please." ”
Ah Nian retreated, and after a while, he saw Wu Lingshuang dressed in white and light gauze and came to them with light steps.
When He Yu saw her, he didn't greet her as excitedly as before, but hid behind Lu Rui, and muttered: "I can't see me, I can't see my ......."
He has always regretted the embarrassment at the lantern festival last night, and now his face is full of embarrassment when he meets.
Zhong Mu took the lead in saluting: "Miss Wu." ”
"Mr. Zhong." Wu Lingshuang saluted him politely, looked at everyone, fixed his gaze on He Yuxiang behind Lu Rui, and couldn't help but raise his tone: "It seems that everyone is here." ”
Zhong Nan gave a thumbs up and praised: "Sister Wu, everyone came to see you to compete, Sister Wu's trick just now was exquisite, and she beat the opponent to the point of no power to fight back in three or two strokes, Zhong Nan was sincerely admired." ”
"You don't have to shoot sycophants." Wu Lingshuang glanced at Li Yi, then asked in the face of Zhong Nan. "You should know why I'm looking for you, right?"
"Yes." Zhong Nan stepped forward and said: "Sister Wu, you also know that I participated in the Yijian Xing, due to the tight time, it is only a few days to practice embroidery, and it is inevitable that the craftsmanship will be unfamiliar, I hope Sister Wu, you don't mind after reading it." ”
Wu Lingshuang stretched out her hand and bent it slightly towards the palm of her hand, signaling Zhong Nan to offer an apology.
Zhong Nan hurriedly untied the bag around his waist, took out the hand-knitted sachet from it, and handed it to Wu Lingshuang's palm tremblingly.
Wu Lingshuang held it in his hand and looked left and right, but he couldn't see what kind of flower it was, and asked in a cold voice, "What are you embroidering?" ”
"Hosta, can't you see it?" Zhong Nan glanced at the sachet and replied weakly.
Wu Lingshuang took another look, and it didn't match her favorite hosta at all.
Zhong Nan saw that her face was gloomy, and hurriedly explained, "Sister Wu, I know that this flower is ugly, but I have really tried my best, except for the competition, I have been practicing embroidery day and night all the time, but this hand always does not obey the call, either too much strength to tear the thread or accidentally prick the hand and stain the sachet with blood, this is what I embroidered so much can still be eye-catching, Sister Wu, you just accept it, by the way, forgive my young ignorance." ”
