Chapter 196: Xie Ji's Secret Guard
Before, Taiyuan was left to ignore it, maintaining the tripartite position of the Wang family, the Li family, and the Wen family, checking and balancing each other, and with the death of Li Jinmo, the Li family's power in Taiyuan gradually declined, so he quickly drew the Wang family to seek restraint. Happy? Wen? Xs520. COM, this day, Emperor Long is really a good hand to plan ahead.
"Being able to sit firmly on the dragon chair for so many years with the expansion of the power of the top ten families, he is naturally a character." Yun Qi's body was crooked, and he fell on the soft couch on the side, and said lazily.
Seeing that Hua Xiyan didn't speak, Yun Qi patted the position beside him: "Zhiwei, lie down and listen to the music outside, it's not a good taste." ”
"The music outside?" Hua Xiyan frowned, thinking about where the music came from in the wilderness?
"Alas...... Zhiwei, it seems that your internal strength needs to go further. Yun Qi tilted his head sideways and looked at Hua Xiyan, and said with a regretful expression.
Hua Xiyan rolled her eyes angrily, thinking that she had only been practicing for a few months, could she compare with this talented person?
After a while, a faint sound came, Hua Xiyan listened attentively, and pointed at Yun Qi with trembling fingers: "This is obviously the sound of fighting, what kind of music is it!" ”
"Isn't the sound of swords drinking blood music?" Yun Qi squinted his eyes slightly, really admiring the sound of the fight from miles away, and sighed, "It's just that just out of Taiyuan, there are people who can't wait......"
There were Feng Yin and others outside, as well as the Yun Clan's secret guards, Hua Xiyan didn't have any worries, poured out a cup of hot tea and drank it slowly: "Listening to what you mean, you seem to know who is coming?" ”
Yun Qi slowly sat up: "If you want to know who it is, don't you just go out and have a look?" ”
As soon as he stepped out of the carriage, Hua Xiyan smelled a strong smell of blood coming from the air. Seeing Huaxi smoke coming out, the wind that was wiping the sword greeted him.
"How many people are coming?" Hua Xiyan asked.
"More than two hundred people." Feng Yin paused for a moment, then continued, "But it doesn't look like the technique is exactly the Secret Guard, many of them seem to be warlocks found in the rivers and lakes. ”
Naturally, the charlatan warlocks are not as well-trained as the dark guards, so they are also easy to identify. Hua Xiyan nodded: "Do you know who is coming?" ”
Feng Yin bowed: "If you look at the technique, it is the same as the group of people on the top of Luliang Mountain when Miss came to Taiyuan." ”
"Oh? Such? Hua Xiyan raised his eyebrows with interest, then this is easy to say.
"Hmm...... If you want to know, just ask for yourself. Feng Tao walked over from the side, still carrying two people in his hands.
The two were thrown to the ground by Feng Tao like mud, Feng Tao touched his nose and said with a grin: "They are not honest, so they fed something." ”
Seeing that these two people looked soft, Hua Xiyan instantly wondered if these two people would not even have the strength to breathe.
"Xie family?" Hua Xiyan walked up to the two of them and spit out three words affirmatively.
The two men closed their eyes and did not speak, and there was a look of resoluteness on their faces that they were waiting for death.
"A broken finger." Hua Xiyan said, Feng Yin raised his sword and fell, and he was bold and fast.
The two of them had no strength to scream, and in an instant, they were drenched in cold sweat, their faces were as white as paper, and their little fingers were bleeding like blood.
Hua Xiyan leaned over and looked at the two of them with a smile: "You have a total of twenty fingers with hands and feet, I will slowly cut them off one by one, and you can cut the meat after cutting your fingers." What is it like to have a thousand cuts, I think you will also want to taste it. Ah, rest assured, I won't take your life. ”
The sunlight shines through the lush foliage on the faces of the two, casting layers of mottled shadows. And the surprise and horror in the eyes of the two people were completely exposed, and there was nothing to hide.
"All I need is your head or shake your head." Hua Xiyan raised her eyebrows lightly and spoke again, "Are you from the Xie family?" ”
"Ring finger!"
"Middle finger!"
"Index finger!"
…… As the saying goes, ten fingers are connected to the heart, and it wasn't until there was only one finger left in the right hand that one of them couldn't help but snort.
"Isn't it good to take a stand earlier?" Feng Tao looked at the two of them and muttered.
"Xie family?" Hua Xiyan threw out this question for the third time.
One of them blinked.
"Xie Ji's people?"
Hua Xi's words fell, and the man's eyes soaked in cold sweat still showed a look of surprise. Before this mission, the master clearly said that the other party would never guess who they were, but why now, not only did he guess that they were the Xie family, but also guessed the people behind them?
"What's your token?" This is the ultimate goal of Huaxi Yan. She knew that the secret guard always had its own mark, but she didn't find it on the top of Luliang Mountain last time, and this time she must find the token of the Xie secret guard.
I don't know if it was because of the medicine he was fed, or because the ten fingers were too painful, the man just chattered his teeth and couldn't say a word at all.
Hua Xiyan glanced up and down at the man with a pair of clear eyes, and that look almost stripped him naked.
"Miss, I've seen it, and there are no marks and no tokens." Feng Tao touched his nose, looked at Yun Qi's face that was getting heavier and heavier, and thought Miss, you should pay attention to the fact that you are a woman! There's still you looking at it over there!
Hua Xiyan's eyes flickered in a certain place, a smile appeared on his lips, and he snatched the sword in Feng Yin's hand and slashed towards the man's head and face.
The person lying on the ground only felt a flash of cold light in front of him, and the cold sword qi rushed straight down. Suddenly, a chill spread from the scalp to the whole body, and in just a moment, I felt the distance of death, close at hand.
When the sword fell, it was not the man's neck that was broken, but the hairband that bound his hair.
The Dark Guard's hair cloak on the top of his head spread out, and a small object in the black hair rolled out.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Feng Tao was speechless for a while, thinking that this thought was too ingenious, who could hide the token in the bundled hair.
No, what surprised him the most was not the thoughts of the Xie family, but the young lady...... How did you find out?
Hua Xiyan bent down to pick up the thing, held it in his hand, and successfully saw a smear of dead ash under the man's pale face.
As he concocted, he took out the token of another person's hair, and Hua Xiyan gave an order to the wind: "Send these two people to Xie Zheng and tell him that as the prince of the world, he must take care of the affairs of his own house." ”
Feng Yin received the order, and Hua Xiyan continued: "Send these amputated fingers and this token to Chen County, and give them to the third concubine Xie Ji and the concubine Sun Muhe, and tell them that I like these gifts very much." If there is a future return, those who come will not refuse. ”
After that, he turned around and got into the car with Yun Qi.
When he was entering the car, Hua Xiyan's body suddenly paused, turned his head and said again: "Remember to package it beautifully, don't surprise other couples." ”
The corners of Feng Yin's mouth twitched, and he was about to take a box to hold a broken finger when he paused, and instead took a piece of handkerchief and wrapped it, thinking about whether he was going to find a ribbon to tie a concentric knot or something after cleaning it up.
Hua Xiyan weighed another token in his hand, and saw that a small golden "Xie" word in the middle of this piece of black jade exuded a faint and dark light, as if a cruel and poisonous eye was staring at her, and the cluster of fireworks at the bottom of the eyes was ready to burn her up at any time.
"The Xie family's family style is the strictest among the ten major families, the daughter's education is strict, and the concubine is extremely distinct, Xie Ji is just a small concubine, how can there be such a big right to transfer the Xie family's secret guard who belongs to the lineage?" After thinking for a moment, Hua Xiyan asked the doubts in his heart.
"The secret guards of the major families belong to the lineage, and all the secret guards of the side family are also assigned by the lineage to protect the safety, and they will not listen to the dispatch of others. However, the Xie family allowed the side department to build its own secret guard, and it was good if the regulations did not cross the lineage, so this time, it should be Xie Ji's own people who came. ”
After listening to Yun Qi's explanation, Hua Xiyan nodded: "The people who came these two times are not idle people, so it seems that this Xie Ji is also capable." ”
"In the family, I am afraid of being bullied, didn't you send those two to Xie Zheng just to test whether he knew about this group of people?"
Hua Xiyan was not surprised that Yun Qi guessed his thoughts. That's what she meant, the Xie family's concubine has such an elite secret guard, did he allow it to be allowed by his descendants, or did he build it himself behind his back? If Xie Zheng, the son of the world, didn't know before, then this time he can be regarded as having a bottom. So if you don't need Huaxi Yanyan to make a move, Xie Zheng will naturally clean it up.
"I'd love to go and meet this Xie Ji for a while. Moreover, the Sun Governor's wife can give birth to a daughter like Sun Muhe, which can be regarded as a blessing for three lives. Hua Xiyan sighed like this, revealing a hint of inexplicable praise in his tone.
Yun Qi nodded: "Indeed, in Chen County, for the Xie family's third room, people only know Mrs. Shu but not Mrs. Zheng. It can be seen that Sun Muhe's side room wrist is also unusual. ”
Hua Xiyan sighed faintly: "The daughter of the dignified four-grade prefect, marrying a concubine to be a side room is also wronged." ”
"But after all, it's the Xie family, and this position is not comparable to ordinary people's wives." Hua Xiyan added another sentence, I don't know if he was comforting Sun Muhe, who had never met before, or something else.
In the evening, the carriage drove into a small town.
"Arashijo?" Hua Xiyan squinted at the name of the city on the city wall, "We arrived in Yanzhou?" ”
Yun Qi nodded: "It's not surprising that the white jade dragon is half sunrise in Jinzhou. ”
What's the matter, it's a BMW that travels thousands of miles every day, isn't it? Hua Xiyan thought, put down the curtain that was opened, and looked at Yun Qi with a smile: "I heard that there is a Fengyue Pavilion in Lancheng......
Yun Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, and said nonchalantly: "Oh? So? ”
"The Holy Heaven No. 1 Male Pavilion is in this small Lancheng, tsk......" Hua Xiyan sighed, and the smile on his lips became more and more ill-intentioned.
Yun Qi didn't know what she was thinking, and he didn't say much, he knew that if Hua Xiyan wanted to come and see, Rao would not be able to stop him.
At ten o'clock in the evening, two tall figures walked out of the best inn in Arashi.
One of the men was shorter, dressed in a lake blue brocade robe, his hair was pulled up with a bluestone hairpin, and the whole person was smiling.
On the other hand, the other man in white has a much colder expression, although his appearance is not shocking, but he is also handsome and uncasting, and every time he sees the people around him flirting with a woman, he has to use a few points of force to hold the knuckles of the bone fan. In the end, he couldn't bear to suppress his voice and said: "Huaxi smoke, stop in moderation." ”
Hua Xiyan smiled and took the sachet handed over by a woman with a red face, and seemed to show off to Yun Qi: "You see that your appearance has been slightly changed by me, and you have lost your ......."
Before he finished speaking, Hua Xiyan suddenly froze, a pair of bright eyes narrowed slightly and stared at a certain direction, and the amorous expression on his face was all replaced by doubt.
Yun Qi followed her eyes and frowned almost invisibly. Glancing at Hua Xiyan, the two of them accelerated their pace at the same time.
