True and false robbers
Someone outside the temple suddenly said coldly: "It's just because he doesn't need you this waste." The head of Kongtong was furious and shouted: "What person? Get the hell out of here! But I saw that the officers and soldiers guarding the temple were scattered together, lined up on both sides of the temple gate, forming a straight and smooth road. This temple was originally shabby, but it was built with such momentum at this moment, but it also had some pomp to welcome the big people. A man in a green shirt walked slowly into the temple, each step was very light, but it invisibly brought a sense of oppression.
The arrogance of the head of Kongtong at the beginning disappeared immediately, and he hurriedly bowed his head and shouted, "Lord Cao." Cao Zhenyan said: "I ordered you to take care of Mr. Long's dart head in the dart game, but you brought my people here to mess around, and there is still me as the master in your eyes." Although the words contained doubts, they were narrated in a gentle tone, and the meaning of reproach was fully revealed. The voice sounded completely warm, and everyone felt a chill rise from their hearts. Li Yijie said in his heart: "It turns out that these people all live in the Chang'an Branch. Yes, they pride themselves on their high status, and they disdain to live in ordinary inns. ”
The head of Kongtong looked uncertain, scanned the ground everywhere in the temple, and suddenly saw the corpse lying on the ground, thinking that this reason was reasonable, and he had a little confidence, and responded: "My subordinates have found out that we and other spies who are intent on robbing darts are mixed in, and they are plotting against each other. Lest he get away with the thief, and he was in a hurry to obey the power, so he made his own claim and did not have time to report to the adult. ”
Cao Zhenyan snorted and said, "What about the spies? The head of Kongtong said: "It has been disposed of by his subordinates." Cao Zhenyan said lightly: "Well, you did a good job, but I blamed you, what reward do you want?" The head of Kongtong was overjoyed, and smiled: "But I don't dare to ......" Just raised his head, he suddenly came into contact with a pair of extremely sharp eyes, almost as cold as a blade, how could he have half of his appreciation? Suitability must have been just a sarcasm. Cao Zhenyan said: "I want to clean up the portal for the Huashan faction, but it won't be your turn." If you don't go back, do you really want me to find a sedan chair to carry you? ”
Although the head of Kongtong has a low status in the martial arts, he is the head of a faction, and the people in the same way have to be respectful on the surface, how many times have they been so idle? I was so annoyed that I just wanted to pick and choose on the spot. I thought that before the plan was successful, I still had to take the word "forbearance" first, otherwise all the previous burdens of forbearance and humiliation would be in vain? glared at Li Yijie and the others, and let out a heavy "snort" in his nose.
The officers and soldiers in the temple felt extremely amused when they saw that although the head of Kongtong was arrogant and arrogant, he was frustrated one after another in front of them and was so embarrassed that he was embarrassed. But he also knew that he was narrow-minded, and his methods were even more vicious, and he wanted to annoy him, and he would really pinch him to death like an ant, so he could only endure himself.
Cao Zhenyan ignored him anymore, and waved to his subordinates: "You all go back to guard the dart box, if something goes wrong, let's see how many heads you have first." The officers and men looked at each other, thinking that they had all suffered on the ship, and they remembered it vividly. One person stepped forward and said, "My lord, their martial arts ...... It's a very evil sect, your safety is important, or let the minions wait here to protect the adult. "They are just a group of subordinates with low status, in case Lord Cao has a good deal, the top will blame it, and the people below will suffer.
The head of Kongtong had already walked to the door, this time it was boring, and seeing the muscles on the faces of the officers and soldiers, he must have laughed upside down in his heart, his heart was on fire, and he intended to ridicule him, turned around and sneered: "Let you go!" Isn't it fun to stay here and make fun of yourself? What kind of person is Lord Cao, how can he protect him? If there really is a strong enemy that even Lord Cao can't handle, you can defeat it? Do you think you're better? ”
Although his words sounded flattering, there was also an implicit irony of Cao Zhenyan, that is, your martial arts are also not good, and you will definitely fail. This group of Manchurian officers and soldiers was indeed strictly disciplined, and in a matter of moments, they gathered into a team, formed two columns, and gradually dispersed.
Cao Zhenyan acted as if nothing happened, paced forward a few steps carelessly, walked in front of Li Yijie and the others, and said lightly: "A few people are so happy, they have tracked all the way from Changzhou to here, do they want that thing like this?" ”
Li Yijie saw that his voice and expression were tired, and he thought that he had been working a lot for this matter for several days, and today he might be good, so he immediately gave up his hand and said respectfully: "It is really the master's order to do it, and I have to do it as a last resort." The girl once said that this thing would definitely set off a bloody storm, and she couldn't sit idly by. Dare to ask what the dart is, and I hope that the adults will clearly inform it, and as for the solution to the best of both worlds, we will discuss it in detail later. ”
His words were very polite, but Cao Zhenyan didn't think so, raised his left eyebrows, and said coldly: "The kid is not small, wow, what are you, you want to come to negotiate conditions with this mansion?" If you want to play this dart, you have miscalculated, and this government is kind and persuasive, don't know how to lift. ”
Nangong Xue couldn't bear it anymore, and with a "swish", she pulled out her sword and said angrily: "Your attitude can also be regarded as good words and persuasion?" If you speak evilly, is it about to show your blade? Cao Zhenyan smiled lightly: "It doesn't seem to be the main mansion that is shining the blade now. ”
Nangong Xue was stunned for a moment, and argued forcefully: "I was the one who did it first, so what?" You are not small, you dare to let all your subordinates retreat, thinking that if you are an official of the court, we will not dare to touch you? If you don't have a weapon, I won't take advantage of it, and let my brother lend you a sword, I don't know what you're used to? But he didn't want to take advantage of the 'defenseless' loophole. ”
Cao Zhenyan said coldly: "Yes, I really expected that you would not dare to touch me." Now that this government has no intention of using force, you attack indiscriminately, isn't it against the name of 'chivalry'? The Venerable Master has never taught you to kill a person who is bent on peace, right? Like you, you generally claim to be famous and upright, and you have always valued your reputation the most, even if you risk your life for this worthless false name, you will not hesitate to do so. ”
When Jiang Yanchen heard this, he couldn't help but praise: "Well said! This is a very good thing to say! He was most disdainful of the hypocritical and righteous people, and said: "Everyone has their own master, each doing his duty, and there is no need to force each other so hard." Cao Zhenyan had already admired him very much, and said with a slight smile: "What Jiang Gongzi said is good, this situation should be improved." At this time, there are many inconveniences in the deserted temple, and the Ming Japanese government is waiting in Chang'an 'Qixian Building'. Don't wait for the other party to answer, just turn around. When facing a great enemy, but treating each other on the back is not only a dangerous move, but it can prove that he is indeed confident.
Seeing that he was so arrogant, Nangong Xue wanted to raise his sword and stab directly, Li Yijie grabbed his arm and waved his arms, grabbed her arm and said: "Bully more and less, win without martial arts!" It will damage my reputation in Huashan! Nangong Xue struggled to break free and said angrily: "Who wants you to make a move?" I could have caught him alone! Li Yijie still shook his head and said, "If you use force to rob darts, what is the difference between them and bandits?" The fifth precept of the Huashan sect is to abstain from forgetting righteousness and stealing property. You can't listen to me, do you even take the rules of Huashan as a deaf ear? ”
Nangong Xue saw that he actually moved the door rules out, as if the master had taught a rebel who had committed a big mistake, and couldn't help but be angry and funny, and said, "Is this a majestic senior brother?" As soon as he shook off his hand, Cao Zhenyan had already gone far.
It is the largest restaurant in Chang'an, since the end of the Southern Song Dynasty and the beginning of the construction, it has undergone several renovations, and the scale is not the same. The appointed time was noon, and Nangong Xue advocated going to "investigate the enemy situation in detail" at three o'clock. The rest of the people, except for Jiang Yanchen, did have this intention, but if they said it from their own mouths, they seemed timid and afraid, and they were pretending to be obedient to Nangong Xue at this moment. Only when he got to the front door of the restaurant, he saw Cao Zhenyan standing alone with his hands in his hands, he had changed into an official uniform at this time, wearing a cloud goose patch, and was decorated with a small sapphire on the top of the crown, with a slaprite on it, and another majestic.
Nangong Xue stepped forward quickly, glanced at him a few times, and said sarcastically: "Lord Cao is really punctual. Cao Zhenyan said with a smile: "The time and place are all determined by this government, if you miss the time, wouldn't it be too unreasonable?" It's like a dignified court official, but I'm afraid of you thieves. Nangong Xue frowned and said, "But you are here in advance, why, do you want to set up an ambush in advance?" Cao Zhenyan sneered: "In the deserted temple last night, you were already the turtle in the urn, why wait until today if the mansion wants to be embarrassed?" ”
Li Yijie knew that what he said was true, and he felt slightly sorry in his heart, and said: "In this way, we are living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." Nangong Xue glared and said, "What do you mean by that, you mean that I am a 'villain'?" Li Yijie was speechless for a while, and only said: "This ...... I...... What is the point? ”
Nangong Xue snorted, turned to Cao Zhenyan and said, "Hey, are you going to let us stand outside and 'talk in detail'?" Cao Zhenyan thought to himself: "When am I going to talk to you, a girl who doesn't know what to do?" But he said, "I won't be so rude, everyone, please." He said that he should enter first, but when he said "everyone", he didn't glance at Nangong Xue. Nangong Xue had a fire in her heart, and she had to be unknown at the moment, and everyone followed suit.
The first restaurant in Chang'an is indeed worthy of its name, and all kinds of furnishings are extremely luxurious. The two sides of the hall are hung with a couplet, the left side is "the food and wine are full", the right side is "the welcome seat is not empty", there is a small two to greet the salute, leading everyone to the second floor. However, this huge restaurant only stands on the side of the counter on the first floor, and there are no half customers, and the environment on the second floor is particularly elegant, but it is also more empty. Chu Menglin was secretly vigilant, with her many years of experience as a killer, she knew that the more safe the place, the more likely it was to be in danger.
Cao Zhenyan seemed to see everyone's doubts, and said lightly: "Today, this restaurant has been contracted, and it is important to discuss important matters, why are there so many ears and eyes disturbing?" Chu Menglin said: "Yes, that's so annoying!" As he spoke, Xiao Er had led everyone to a "Eight Immortals Table", the table and chair were made of the finest logs, and the pots and saucers were also excellent porcelain, the color was like jade peacock green, the deep and pure Ji Qing, thin as paper, as bright as jade, and the blowing was about to fly. Xiao Er diligently introduced the dishes, "candied date cake", "pot helmet", "Lao Tongjia cured mutton" and "Qinzhen Liangpi" are all Chang'an specialties, and they are the signboards of Qixian Building. When Li Yijie and Nangong Xue were cultivating their art in Huashan, they ate coarse tea and light rice every day, and when they suddenly saw such delicacies, they were both overjoyed.
Another Xiao Er hugged a large jar of wine and stepped forward and said, "Lord Cao, this is the new Xifeng wine that has recently arrived in the shop, and I have come to taste it with adults." Cao Zhenyan bowed his head and said, "Give them all poured." Xiao Er replied: "Yes." "The distance between the wine and the rim of the glass is just right, and there is a burst of rich aroma in the nose.
Shen Shiyun smiled and said, "Little second brother, may I ask, is this wine transported from Xiliu Town, Fengxiang City?" Xiao Erqi said: "Yes, how does the girl know?" ”
Shen Shiyun said: "As far as I know, Xifeng wine is best produced here, so I'll guess it." I heard that this wine began in Yin Shang, flourished in the Tang and Song dynasties, and was listed as a treasure in the Tang Dynasty with 'mellow and elegant, sweet and refreshing, harmonious flavors, and long tails'. When Su Dongpo served as Fengxiang, he loved this wine, and there was a poem of 'willow forest wine, East Lake willow, women's hands'. It is made of local specialty sorghum as raw material, barley and pea koji, colorless, bright and transparent, mellow and fragrant, clear but not light, strong but not gaudy, sweet after drinking, long and fragrant; Drinking it at the right time can have the benefit of invigorating blood and driving away cold, refreshing and dispelling fatigue, isn't it? ”
Xiao Er listened to it with relish, but there were many allusions that he didn't know, so he was busy taking a pen and paper to record it on the spot, and he could read it to the guests in the future. Li Yijie was secretly surprised, and said: "Yun'er, you know so much, have you ever drunk this wine?" Shen Shiyun said with a smile: "I have never drunk a drop of alcohol, but I have heard my father say this to my uncle and third uncle before, and he also said that one day when I go to Xiliu, I must drink it." ”
Li Yijie clapped his hands and smiled: "Wonderful, Lord Lingzun and I are confidants in the wine, if you can see it, it will be fast to drink three glasses at the same table." But seeing Shen Shiyun's eyelashes hanging down and her face sad, she remembered that her father was no longer alive, and her words inadvertently caused her sadness. Immediately coughed dryly, raised his glass and said, "Drink, drink." ”
Nangong Xue was displeased when she saw Shen Shiyun's big showmanship. When Li Yijie wanted to pour more wine, he gently pressed his hand and said in a low voice: "Senior brother, don't drink anymore!" Li Yijie said: "Why? ”
Nangong Xue's face was slightly red, and she said angrily: "Because you are happy when you drink wine, like this, what people say is what it is!" She was referring to Shen Shiyun, but Li Yijie was wrong, and said: "Don't worry, I will ignore what Master Cao says later, I'm already sorry, and if I refuse his good offer to invite us to drink, it will be a crime on a crime!" As he spoke, he drank another glass. Jiang Yanchen smiled faintly and said, "It's okay, Brother Li is a spectator." Dare to ask Lord Cao what he has to say. ”
Cao Zhenyan said: "Yesterday, Jiang Gongzi once said, 'The Tao is different, not conspiring with each other', and all these recent reasons are due to this. The government has other plans, Jiang Gongzi is excellent in martial arts, and the government is very admired. Now the situation in the world has been decided, the Ming Dynasty and that Li Zicheng are exhausted, and the entry of the Qing soldiers into the customs is also a day and night, and this mansion is under the banner of the regent of the Qing Dynasty. The prince has a task with me, and before the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, he initially settled the Central Plains ......"
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly heard a very miserable cry from downstairs, dragging on for a long time, as if it was made by an old woman. I heard the second class shouting in a gossipy voice: "Our store is temporarily closed today." "Where's the crazy woman, get out quickly!" Cao Zhenyan frowned slightly, picked up his wine glass, and said, "Jiang Gongzi, please." The two drank, Cao Zhenyan was about to speak, but saw an old woman stumbling upstairs, wearing tattered clothes, full of dishes, and another Xiao Er caught up and pulled, cursing in her mouth.
Cao Zhenyan stood up and said angrily: "What to do? This government has instructed that you will entertain distinguished guests today, and no idle people will be allowed to enter, do you just regard it as a deaf ear? The little two panicked and said, "The villain doesn't dare!" This...... This crazy woman broke in, shouting that she wanted to sue, and she was desperate, but we didn't dare to stop her. Cao Zhenyan said impatiently: "Sue? Let her go to the county office! What's going on here? ”
The old woman had rushed to the front, grabbed the hem of Cao Zhenyan's shirt, and cried: "County government? I went instead, not to mention the big man who solved the case, and I didn't even see half a ghost! My lord, you have to make the decision for me, those sand thieves who killed a thousand knives came to my house last night and robbed the silver, we are poor scholars, all the belongings ......" Xiao Er kicked her waist and scolded: "A little silver, what's the matter?" Why didn't the sand thieves cut your old bones clean with a single sword? ”
The old woman said: "If it's just silver taels, after all, it's something outside the body, and it's just that, and the right to destroy wealth and eliminate disasters." Can...... But they have taken my grandson away from afar, and they want us to ransom us with two pieces of silver, how can there be such insidious and greedy people? They want a ransom and don't leave us a penny, but how can they pay for it? Ouch! O my miserable grandson! What hope is there when it falls into the hands of sand thieves? Pity me, this loess has been half buried, and now I want the white-haired man to send the black-haired man......" I cried hoarsely.
Shen Shiyun felt sorry for her, helped her up and sat beside her, stroked her gray silver hair, and said softly: "Old woman, I can understand your feelings, I ...... There is a best sister who died at the hands of the sand thieves not long ago. Thinking of the tragic death of the vial, I couldn't help but feel sad, and my eyes were red. The old woman looked at her for a long time with a pair of teary eyes, and a pair of muscular hands trembled and stroked her cheeks, and said mournfully, "Good...... Good girl...... The sand thieves have done a lot of evil, and my good grandson is far away, and now he is the same age as you......"
Shen Shiyun was even more merciful, and gently hugged the old woman into his arms, and the two hugged each other and cried. After a while, Shen Shiyun gently pushed her away, took a piece of "candied date cake" from the plate, put it in her hand, and persuaded: "Don't be too sad, I believe that good and evil will be rewarded, and the sand thieves will definitely not end well." The remote son Ji Ren Tianxiang, it's going to be fine, you eat something first, and then we'll think about saving him, okay? ”
The old woman finally nodded, then took a bite, and then turned to Cao Zhenyan and said, "My lord, when will you send people to save my grandson?" Cao Zhenyan didn't look at her, he just poured his own wine, and said coldly: "What kind of people are deployed?" Is it a matter of state or your family? When the old woman saw that he had such disregard for human life, her lips trembled with anger, but she could not say a word.
Shen Shiyun couldn't see this for a long time, and finally couldn't bear it, walked straight to Cao Zhenyan, and said in a crisp voice: "Lord Cao, it's too chilling to say this, right?" You are the prefect, how can you be so careless of people's lives and ignore the safety of the people? If even the most basic happiness of a common household cannot be guaranteed, what is there to talk about 'the country is stable and the people are happy'? Sand thieves are rampant not recently, and you ignore them, fueling their arrogance in vain; Besides, the tragedy of the destruction of the Shadowless Villa is also a big case, and you still sit idly by, it was the work of the Shadow Sacrifice Sect, are you afraid of them? Don't you dare to provoke them? When people talk about you, Lord Cao, they say that you are just a bully who is afraid of the soft and afraid of the hard, greedy for life and afraid of death! ”
Everyone knew Shen Shiyun for the first time, and they saw that she had always been soft and weak, how could they expect that standing in front of a big man who had the power to control her life and death at this moment, she could not be afraid of it, and still make righteous and stern accusations, Nangong Xue couldn't help but secretly applaud. Jiang Yanchen focused on the other side, and after hearing this, he put the wine glass on the table heavily, and said, "Miss Yun, you are very concerned about the affairs of the Shadowless Villa." ”
Shen Shiyun's whole body shook slightly, to say that among this group of companions, except for Nangong Xue who gave her a little look from time to time, everyone else treated her very well, but this person made her unpredictable. It always seems to be gloomy and indifferent on the surface, but secretly he knows everything in his chest, has his true identity been seen through to him? Cao Zhenyan raised his eyebrows and said, "Did you say Miss Yun?" Is it the famous Oiran of Jingxi Agarwood Academy after Mu Qingyan? It's ridiculous! A woman in a green house is also worthy of talking to this mansion like this? ”
Shen Shiyun's teeth gently bit her lower lip, Li Yijie saw her sad expression, and was a little frightened, only saying that she must have felt humiliated, got up and stepped forward, deliberately protected her behind her, and said tepidly to Cao Zhenyan: "People in the world can manage the affairs of the world." The reason why Yun'er once fell into the Agarwood Courtyard was because of her own hardships, and now she has also left that place, Lord Cao, you are also a well-informed person, and the worldly view, why can't you see it like this? Moreover, it is difficult for adults to take care of all kinds of opportunities, and the news of the rumors of the market is not slow. His words were both positive and negative, and his words were very sharp.
Cao Zhenyan laughed angrily and said: "What a 'people in the world can manage the affairs of the world'!" Li Shaoxia, since you have nothing to do, how about taking care of the sand thieves for this house? ”
Li Yijie rushed up angrily, and thought: "Yun'er's revenge with the sand thieves is as deep as the sea, if I can help her get revenge, she will definitely like it very much." It can also eliminate harm for the people, so why not. Immediately said aloud: "Okay, what's so difficult about this!" Yun'er, don't worry, I will give you anger! Jiang Yanchen suddenly said: "Slow, the sand thieves are treacherous and don't keep their promises, I still have personal affairs with them, and I can go alone." As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared at the corner of the stairs. Li Yijie scratched his head and said to himself: "Are you familiar with the sand thieves?" How can we say 'keep promises'? ”
Jiang Yanchen came downstairs and immediately went straight to the wine cellar. He knew that since the sand thieves had come to Chang'an, he would never miss the wine of this first restaurant. Pushing the door in, he saw that the sand thieves were sitting cross-legged and drinking happily as they had at the first meeting. A black lacquered dart box is left alone in the corner. When everyone heard the sound of the door, they each touched the hilt of their swords, and when they saw the visitors, they were all very happy.
Boss Sha stood up, picked up the wine bowl and said with a smile: "It turned out that Brother Jiang was here, it's good that you're fine." Earlier, on the ship, several of my brothers were reckless, and Jiang Engong was under siege, and I have always been very worried. Sha Lao Er smiled and said: "Big brother, I said earlier, how could such a character as Jiang Gongzi be planted in the hands of a few officers and soldiers?" Boss Sha laughed, stretched out the wine bowl, and said, "Jiang Engong, all the brothers are grateful, this bowl of wine is for you." Jiang Yanchen raised his hand slightly, pushed the edge of the bowl tilted, and all the wine spilled on the ground.
Boss Sha's face sank, and then he turned relieved, and said with a smile: "This inferior wine, Brother Jiang can't look down on it." Li Laosan, are you still stunned? Hurry up and give the wine to Brother Jiang to catch the wind! Jiang Yanchen said coldly: "Don't be busy." Tired of your bamboo basket to fetch water, empty confession busy, has been considered ineffective, pick up the wind, it is ashamed to be. Boss Sha heard what he said, and said strangely: "Why did Brother Jiang say this? ”
Jiang Yanchen glanced at the dart box and said, "The broken copper and iron dart box, you still have it, I don't know what kind of play you want to do in front of me?" Boss Sha was stunned for a moment, he already understood his meaning, and said: "Brother Jiang, my Boss Sha is a rough man, and he also has a bad reputation in the martial arts, so he is not a decent man and a gentleman, but what he says is still true to his word, and he will never do that wrong." Jiang Yanchen sneered: "If you hadn't opened the box, you should have waited in Jingxi now, how could you come to Chang'an to throw yourself into the net?" I just hope you don't tell me that you are not familiar with the waterways, so that you are lost? ”
Sha Lao Dao: "If Brother Jiang really doesn't believe it, Sha has nothing to do." But since the dart box said that it had not seen it, it did not have seen it. Halfway through our voyage, we thought that there were still brothers who had been captured and fallen into the hands of officers and soldiers, and if we left them behind, our conscience would be disturbed after all, so we turned to Chang'an to save people. As for stealing silver and capturing hostages at Tang's house last night, they were all actions to attract the attention of the government. ”
Jiang Yanchen pondered: "This group of people is very stupid, and they can't make up this statement in a moment, and it is really no good for them to lie to me like this." With a peaceful face, he said: "In this way, you are a person who values love and righteousness, and I will compensate you for it." Sha Boss hurriedly said, "Don't dare." Jiang Yanchen turned around and said awe-inspiringly: "Then I will make a deal with you, you let the soup go first, and leave everything to me to save your brother." When that's done, give me the dart box. Without waiting for Boss Sha to answer, he was out of the cellar in a flash. It really comes and goes like the wind, without a trace.
Sha Lao Er shouted: "Gongzi Jiang, this ......" He was about to say that this matter was inappropriate, but he was already trembling on his head. Boss Sha flicked his sleeves and said, "What are you shouting about?" If people really want to rob the dart, can we hold it? I am afraid that I will end up with no personal wealth and be killed, and now he is willing to talk to us about the conditions to rescue the trapped brothers for us, and we are grateful to Dade! ”
At that time, Long Lao Dart was sitting and recuperating in the Chang'an Branch. He was hit hard by the force of the nine-section whip in the boat, and he didn't feel anything wrong at first, but as time went by, every time he touched the internal breath, he always felt that there was a strange and fierce true qi in his chest hitting everywhere, and his whole body was as if he had been hollowed out, and he was about to be pressed down, but the dantian was empty. Several times the blood surged, nausea and disgust, and the soybean-like beads of sweat on his forehead kept rolling down.
But I heard the noisy voices of the foreign language, the sound of scolding was loud, and a clear voice said: "You complain, please find the government to solve it, how can the Jianye Dart Bureau be a place for you to wait for the people to spread wild?" Everyone, they've blasted me out! Followed by a "bang", the door opened, and the head of Kongtong strode in, his eyes seemed to be about to erupt fire, regardless of etiquette, he kept circling in the room with his head stuffy, and said angrily: "This group of sand thieves is not allowed to have a moment of leisure? Just stole the Tang family in the east of the city, and went to rob the Zhu family in the west of the city today, and the servants of the Zhu family came to the dart game to make trouble, Lao Tzu can be regarded as fed up. Cao Zhenyan was bent on stammering the kid surnamed Jiang, and last night he was even more embarrassed in public in order to please him! How many taels of silver can we get? Mr. Long's dart head, the power of that thing is infinite, and now it can be said that it is already in the bag of you and me, why not join forces to establish yourself as the king, destroy the chaotic parties in various places, and then punish the soldiers! ”
He said it impassionedly, but Long Lao was not moved at all, closed his eyes and said, "The Taoist is wrong. We have agreed to help, and we have done our duty, and we do not think of anything else. ”
The head of Kongtong sneered: "What you say is better than singing." There is another thing that makes me very angry, that kid keeps saying that he is avenging his brother, but he has a close relationship with the Huashan thief, hum, it is clear that he is using the incident to find my bad luck! Long Lao Dart sighed: "That young man is not from the Kunlun faction, his internal strength is very evil, and I don't know what the way is." The head of Kongtong asked: "You are well-informed, can you see some doorways?" ”
Long Lao shook his head slowly, suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were like torches, and said: "Let me ask you something, are the Kunlun Shuangxia really poisoned by you?" Although he was out of breath at this time, his words still sounded awe-inspiring. The head of Kongtong was slightly stunned, he didn't dare to make eye contact with him, and said with a dry smile: "What are you doing now mentioning that irrelevant matter?" The old dragon dart head said sharply: "If you really do this big thing against morality, the old man must be the first to let you go!" ”
The head of Kongtong looked up to the sky and said, "Just by your half-dead appearance?" I'm not blind enough to see that you're seriously injured, and that even a child can easily kill you at this moment. Looking at this Jianye dart game, only your dragon dart head is still a bit of a climate, and if you have to go west, you are afraid that the century-old foundation will be ruined. If you don't be alarmist, if you ask me for good words, I can still heal your wounds, how about it? Long Lao said angrily: "You...... You...... cough cough ......" was angry, and his breath was not smooth, and he opened his mouth to spew out a mouthful of blood with a "wow".
The head of Kongtong exclaimed: "What's wrong with you? "Lest there be fraud, stretch out two fingers to put on his wrist, the words of the right person are indeed alarmist, Long Lao Dart has been famous for a long time, but he didn't dare to underestimate him, and he was secretly ambushed after a few moves in his hand. Unexpectedly, under this ride, he felt that his pulse was weak, but he seemed to be a person without martial arts, which was very strange, and he couldn't help but "huh" and asked: "Mr. Long, how do you feel now?" ”
Long Lao Dart only felt that his heart was suddenly like ten thousand knives cutting, suddenly like ten thousand ants biting and biting, suddenly like a fire burning his body, and suddenly like falling into an ice cave, it was really unspeakably uncomfortable, and he couldn't care about anything else at the moment, and said everything he had felt recently. Kongtong said in his heart: "That is indeed a sign of a total loss of internal strength." Looking at his pale complexion again, he thought it was caused by the power of the poisonous palm. ”
Thinking back silently about the battle between him and Jiang Yanchen, it must be that when Jiang Yanchen shook the nine-section whip with internal force, he secretly attached force to the whip, and he was hit back sharply, just like giving someone a slap in the chest. Secretly calculated: "The opportunity must not be lost, the time will not come again, why don't I take this opportunity to get rid of this big trouble?" At that moment, he didn't hesitate, raised his palm and shot down the top of Long Lao's head, and suddenly heard someone outside the window shouting: "Ah, it's not good!" Then there was a "click", and the window frame collapsed. The head of Kongtong took a step back, and two long swords stabbed him in the face, and it was Li Yijie and Nangong Xue who held the swords.
It turned out that Chu Menglin only heard the old woman's intermittent whimpering sound in the restaurant, and she only felt extremely stuffy, thinking: "If Jiang Yanchen really captures the sand thief, it will definitely alarm the government." And among them, the masters are all in the guard dart box, and the trouble will rise, and it is expected to take advantage of the weakness. She was about to leave in the name of buying something, but Nangong Xue was also in general mind, and Li Yijie was still waiting to invite Shen Shiyun to accompany her, because she had to accompany Granny Tang, so she had to give up.
When I went to the street to ask a random passer-by, the person heard that they didn't know the location of the Jianye Dart Bureau, but he was puzzled. When the servants of the Zhu family gathered to make trouble, they took advantage of the chaos to climb over the wall and came to the side of Long Lao's dart head room. Li Yijie pierced a small hole in the window paper, looked closely, and when he saw the head of Kongtong hurting people, his heart was on fire, and he left all the dangers behind him, and jumped in from the window. Nangong Xue was worried about his safety, and also drew her sword to help.
Chu Menglin secretly said: "That bull's nose still has two brushes, and the two of them can't stop it." I'll hold my ground for now, he'll go and get the box later, and I'll be right behind him. ”
The left palm of the head of Kongtong was split, and Li Yijie knew that his palm was fierce, so he didn't dare to take it hard, so he hurriedly avoided it sideways. The head of Kongtong had no intention of fighting, his right elbow sank, pressed down Nangong Xue's long sword, and immediately grabbed the door. Li Yijie saw that Long Lao's dart head was lying on his back, and he didn't have time to chase the enemy, so he hurriedly stepped forward to check his injuries. Seeing that his heavenly spirit was shattered, his life was already in an instant, his nose was sour, and he called: "Senior Long, you cheer up!" Dragon old-timers? ”
Long Lao Darthead half-opened his eyes and asked, "You...... Who are you......" He was seriously injured, and he was already in a trance, and his vision was blurred. Li Yijie said: "Li Yijie, a disciple of Huashan, a younger generation, has always admired the old-timers, and I am fortunate to see it today, who knows...... Again, in this situation. "I feel sad.
Long Lao said: "Huashan...... Huashan faction? ...... "Reach into his arms, take out the nine-section whip and hand it to Li Yijie, take a breath, and say, "I'm sorry for you...... Go to ...... handed it over to Cui Darthead...... This is the ...... of my dart game" Nangong Xue saw that he was struggling to speak, and she couldn't bear it, so she said: "It's a token passed down from generation to generation at the head of the dart, isn't it?" Long Lao dart head lightly "um", and said: "That dart...... You have to chase ...... Remember...... Thou shalt not act presumptuously ......"
Li Yijie saw that he was still thinking about the dart box at this time, and he couldn't tell what it was like, and said: "The younger generation has always been curious, what is that dart?" Can you tell us? Long Lao Dart sighed: "This thing...... Harmful...... It's just that he is entrusted by others and loyal to others...... ...... things about people" Nangong Xue asked, "What is that?" Long Lao said: "That's ...... It's this ......" suddenly couldn't lift it in one breath, and it was so angry.
Li Yijie was shocked and anxious, and shouted: "Senior Long! He once saw the master and the master heal the disciples' exercises, and he didn't have time to think about it in a hurry, so he had to draw a gourd in the same way, help the dragon old dart head up, turn his body around, and put his palms against his heart, and submerged his internal strength. But his cultivation is not deep in the first place, and Long Lao's dart head has indeed returned to the sky, but he was anxious and did not pay attention to it.
Nangong Xue was calmer, frowned and said: "This is a place of right and wrong, it is not suitable to stay for a long time, let's go here!" Li Yijie turned a deaf ear, and Nangong Xue suddenly said: "The real murderer has already gone far away, leaving you, a good person, here for others to see, can you still tell clearly?" ”
Li Yijie sighed and said hatefully: "Senior Long, you are a hero, but you were killed by thieves. I, Li Yijie, have a breath of air, and I will do my best to avenge your hatred, and I hope you can rest in peace! Kowtowed respectfully a few times, but picked up his body horizontally, Nangong Xue said, "What are you going to do again?" Li Yijie said: "I'm going to bury the old man Long and let him be buried in peace." Nangong Xue said: "These things, those dart masters will deal with them......"
Li Yijie didn't say much, just walked away, but saw that the door had been surrounded by a group of officers and soldiers, and the leading dart masters looked like important people in the dart game. A charred dart master stared straight at the corpse of Long Lao's dart, suddenly shouted, pulled out a long whip from his waist, and slashed at Li Yijie's head. Li Yijie hurriedly jumped backwards, but he could avoid it, and the whip was so powerful that it smashed a wooden table on the side of the door.
The dart master had to wait to attack again, and Li Yijie hurriedly said: "Senior, stay!" May I ask which one is Cui Darthead? Please come out, I have something to say! The dart master was stunned and said, "What are you looking for me?" Li Yijie put the body on the wooden chair and sat upright, turned around and stretched out the nine-section whip with one hand, and said lightly: "This is what Long Lao Dart asked me to hand over to you before he died, and that is also the intention of you to take over." Cui Darthead is older than him, and he should have served it with both hands, but Cui Darthead had a heavy hand when he made a move before, and Li Yijie had a fire in his heart, so he only used one hand.
Cui Dart's head bowed slightly, and he also touched it with one hand, and on the way, he suddenly turned his hand and buckled Li Yijie's wrist. This trick uses the fourteenth style in the "grappling hand", Li Yijie has an iron hoop on his wrist, but he can break free. Cui Darthead grabbed his body, two fingers rushed out, poked him "Fengchi Acupoint", Li Yijie suddenly felt weak and weak all over his body, Cui Darthead has studied martial arts for many years, even if he has a sword in his hand at this time, he is still invincible.
Nangong Xue saw that her senior brother was restrained, and said in her heart: "For today's plan, we must try to seize the opportunity before we can hope to get out of the siege." The long sword suddenly raised and slashed at the left flank of an officer and soldier in front of him. The officer and soldier were completely defenseless, and his right hand hurriedly drew the sword, only half of it was drawn, and the blade of the sword struck the blade. Nangong Xue's wrist flipped and stabbed him directly in the right shoulder, this move was extremely clever, and the officer and soldier made an "ah" sound, his shoulder penetrated, and he withdrew a few steps. Nangong Xue succeeded in one blow, and was about to chase after the victory, but saw the blue light shaking, and seven or eight long knives had pointed at the key points above and below his body.
Cui Dart shouted: "Don't withdraw the sword yet? Although Nangong Xue has always been arrogant, she also knows that a good man does not suffer from the loss in front of him, the tip of the sword slowly drooped, and Cui Dart's head was like electricity, and she also sealed her acupoint. Nangong Xue said angrily: "What are you going to do with us?" Cui Darthead said solemnly: "You killed our chief dart, this account must be counted by a good student." Nangong Xue shouted: "Hey, don't spew blood!" Li Yijie said angrily: "I have handed over the nine-section whip to you, how can you still doubt it?" If it weren't for the dragon dart head personally entrusting me, this is a token of your dart bureau, where would I get it? ”
Cui Darthead sneered: "That's also very easy, you have already killed the head of the dart, and then take things from his corpse, what's the difficulty?" Li Yijie said angrily: "But if it weren't for his last words, how would I know you Cui Darthead?" Cui Darthead said proudly: "Cui is famous all over the rivers and lakes, you have heard of my name before, and you know that I should take over the position of the head of the dart, so I will use this to talk nonsense." ”
Li Yijie heard him so conceited, and looked up to the sky and smiled. Cui Dart said angrily: "What's so funny? Li Yijie sneered: "Okay, if you say I'm talking nonsense, I'll be talking nonsense." It's a lie to let you take over as the head of the dart, it's all my nonsense, but in fact, the person who wants to pass on the position to the head of the dragon is Ji Darthead! If you want to turn your face and deny people, but it's not so easy, if you want to lose the honorarium, don't blame your brother for not being righteous, this is going to tell you about the ugly things you did! ”
He was talking nonsense, but he didn't expect that Cui Darthead and Ji Darthead were both the right-hand men of Long Lao's Dart Head in the Jianye Dart Bureau, and they had the potential to fight against each other, Li Yijie said this, which stimulated the anger in his heart and glared at Ji Dart. Ji Dart was indifferent by nature, and this controversy affected him for no reason, and he was irritable, but this matter was too important, so he couldn't help but make it clear on the spot, and asked: "Little brother, what ugly thing did he do?" ”
Li Yijie said with a smile: "He knew that his skills were not as good as others, so he secretly asked me to murder Long Lao's darthead." He gave out the money, I spent my strength, and everyone was clean. Ji Dart head brushed his beard and said: "I see." Squinting at Cui Dart's head, his eyes were full of indignation. Cui Dart said hurriedly: "Listen to this kid's nonsense!" With his little ability, how could he hurt Mr. Long's dart? This time the situation changed sharply, and in order to prove his innocence, Cui Darttou actually argued for Li Yijie.
Ji Darthead sneered: "Yes, his martial arts are low, his accomplice's martial arts are not low, first beat the head of the dart to a serious injury, and then let him pick a ready-made cheap." You and I saw it with our own eyes that day, and you also claimed to be a disciple of Kunlun, it turns out that you have premeditated! Li Yijie didn't know anything about the vicious fight on the boat, but when he saw that his words were indeed to the point, they caused infighting, and they were secretly happy.
Ji Darttou said again: "Which is right and which is wrong, and now I can't make sure of it, so I took them to the Immortal Tower, but it is up to Lord Cao to decide." Cui Darttou was going to kill the two of them on the spot, but at this time, he was inevitably suspected of "killing his mouth", and said stupidly: "It should be like this." He waved his hand and said to the officers and soldiers: "Take it away." Nangong Xue shouted: "Don't touch me, I'll leave by myself!" ”
The officers and soldiers escorted the two of them to the Deqi Immortal Tower. Xiao Er had been scolded for not stopping Granny Tang before, and at this time he hurriedly caught up, risking his life, and said with a smile: "Officials, the shop is not open today, and I will welcome the official ......master tomorrow."
Cui Dart shouted: "Get out of the way!" We are all subordinates of Lord Cao, you want to be a mother-in-law again, if you delay the military plane, the first one will arrest you and ask for the crime! With a flick of the sleeves of his robe, he pushed Xiao Er and strode upstairs. I saw Cao Zhenyan and Jiang Yanchen talking about wine, but they seemed to have a good relationship, and they stepped forward to salute, but they couldn't help muttering in their hearts.
Cao Zhenyan asked, "What's the matter with you?" Cui Dart nodded to an officer and soldier who followed closely behind him and said, "You say." The officer and soldier stepped forward and saluted, "Lord Qiqi, the slave originally wanted to bring up the captured sand thieves to parade through the streets, but what did you expect...... Unexpectedly, none of them escaped, and the servants were not well guarded, and they were willing to accept the blame! As he spoke, he wanted to kneel, but Cao Zhenyan stretched out his hand to help him and said with a smile: "It's okay, the sand thieves have all surrendered to my Great Qing, and that is also the credit of Jiang Gongzi." ”
Cui Dart said: "Lord Cao forgives you for your innocence, continue to speak." The officer said, "Yes, yes, thank you." At that time, the slave didn't know, but he only said that he would be severely punished for this disaster, so he wanted to ask Long Lao Dart to show it. At the door, I saw a villain sneak attack the head of the dart from behind, the slave knew that his martial arts were low, and he couldn't stop the villain from committing murder...... Back to the West! ”
Cao Zhenyan said lightly: "Oh? Who is that villain? How dare you be so bold. Cui Dart turned around and said, "Bring it up!" All the officers and soldiers immediately flocked upstairs, and the first to be restrained were Li Yijie and Nangong Xue, both of whom were unstable and their footsteps were false and real.
Cao Zhenyan slapped the case and said angrily: "Who allowed all of you to leave your posts without permission? If you want to rebel, you can't do it! Ji Dart took a step forward and said, "Lord Cao is angry." It's just that the death of the head of the dragon dart in the bureau has a lot of articles, and it can't be easily resigned, and you have to ask for an explanation. As he spoke, his eyes seemed to be intentional, and he seemed to glance at Cui Dart's head unintentionally.
Cui Dart said angrily: "What do you see me doing? Ji Dart said: "If you didn't do that bad thing, why are you empty-hearted?" The little brother knew the cause and effect best, so he asked him to tell it in public. Li Yijie didn't dare to make a mistake at this time, and said: "Cui Darthead, the younger generation of Shicai is annoyed that you will kill you without asking the reason, so you will talk nonsense." Long Lao's last words are indeed to ask you to succeed him. Cui Dart snorted, his face quite proud.
The officer and soldier said: "No, I clearly saw you slap the back of Long Lao's dart with my own eyes, how can I say it?" Li Yijie said: "First, that's two palms, not one, your eyesight is not good, what does it have to do with me?" Second, I'm healing his wounds, you can't see it really, it's because you have shallow knowledge, how can you blame me? Third, please go to see the cause of the death of Long Lao's dart head first, could it be that your Tianling Gai was born on the back? ”
Nangong Xue was so amused when she heard his third sentence that she almost burst out laughing. But thinking of the embarrassing situation at the moment, he rushed up angrily and shouted to Cao Zhenyan: "What's the use of you entangled with us here? That's really fierce, and you've already carried your baby dart box and slipped away! ”
