Chapter Fifty-Eight: Admiral of the Nine Gates
Although the career is valuable, the price of life is higher.
If even life is gone, all wealth and glory will be in vain.
Therefore, Yuan Tianyou knelt very crisply and very smartly.
Especially when a pill of Heart-Eroding Pill enters the abdomen, I know that I can't help myself, and the painful taste like ten thousand ants devouring my heart is unforgettable after tasting it once.
Song Mingjing looked at Yuan Tianyou, whose face was bleak, and said lightly: "A pill of antidote can keep you worry-free for three to four months, if you don't want to be tortured anymore, you have to obediently obey my orders." Of course, if you want to play some small tricks, I am also happy to accompany you. ”
Yuan Tianyou's voice was dry: "Yuan doesn't dare." ”
"Don't dare to be the best!" Song Mingjing was noncommittal, and left a sentence: "Today is over, I will go first, you wait for my order." ”
The sound of trembling clothes came out, and Yuan Tianyou looked up, and there was no figure in front of him, and he fell to the ground like a lost soul, and his whole body seemed to be drained.
Out of this mansion, Song Mingjing slowly returned to Sun's mansion.
The streets are full of people and businessmen, showing a busy scene.
Song Mingjing, who was dressed in a Taoist robe, shuttled through the crowd, which was extremely eye-catching.
After about a quarter of an hour's work, I suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves galloping, and there was a noisy exclamation behind him, and chickens and dogs were scurrying.
The five knights spurred their horses in the streets, ignoring the panicked and screaming crowds, and even waved their whips from time to time to beat pedestrians who stood in the way.
Pedestrians fled to the side of the road like a plague god, and in the blink of an eye, the originally noisy and lively market was already a miserable cry and a mess.
There were not no people in the retreating crowd, some lowered their heads, some looked indifferent and cold, and some clenched their fists, their roots and muscles burst out, and their eyes were staring at the five knights with fire.
It's just that no one dares to act rashly, and the clothing patterns of these knights, the mount mark, and even the saber all show their status as bannermen and warriors.
Just the fierce and exposed atmosphere, it can be seen that they are by no means comparable to those Eight Banners who carry cages and walk birds, everyone can be called the elite of the elite, and they are also rare good hands on the rivers and lakes.
The Leader Knights were young men with a cold face and dark eyes.
Song Mingjing also stood in the crowd on the side of the street, staring at the young man, to be exact, he saw that the other party was wearing a unicorn patch suit.
In the Ming and Qing dynasties, only a first-class martial artist was qualified to wear a unicorn supplement, and in the current Guangzhou city, the Guangzhou general had this qualification.
But General Canton is over fifty years old, and he is obviously not the young knight in front of him.
However, Song Mingjing quickly figured out the identity of this young knight.
Admiral Ordo, the Admiral of the Nine Gates.
The so-called Admiral of the Nine Gates is the commander of the five battalions of the Admiral Nine Gate Infantry Army, mainly responsible for the guard and access control inside and outside the nine gates of the capital.
This position is like the royal guard dog, once it is unstable, even the emperor's net worth and life are in danger, so the people who can sit in the position of the commander of the nine gates are the most trusted henchmen of the emperor.
Ordo went out of Beijing this time, but he was ordered by Qianlong to come to kill the Red Flower Society.
This is the news that Song Mingjing got from Sun An'er.
Ordo captured and killed the four leaders of the Red Flower Society, and although he did not obtain the roster of all members of the Red Flower Society, he searched for a letter from his body and learned that the Red Flower Society may have taken action in the two places recently.
Therefore, as soon as he arrived in Guangzhou, he immediately launched a secret operation, on the one hand, he asked the governor of Liangguang, the general of Guangzhou, to send men to assist him in arresting and arresting the members of the Red Flower Society. On the one hand, the four masters of the Red Flower Society are used as bait, hoping to lure the snake out of the hole.
In fact, Zhu Tao, Deng Bingkun, Tan Jiugong and others did not obey Sun Fugeng's orders, but the good hands that Ordo recruited from the rivers and lakes.
Unexpectedly, this lure of the snake out of the hole was a success, but his people were almost wiped out.
The dust and sand were flying, the sound of horses' hooves was as urgent as gongs and drums, and the five horsemen went away without dust.
Song Mingjing's eyes narrowed slightly, and in that direction, it seemed that he was heading towards his cheap father-in-law's house.
Obviously, Ordo learned the news of the return of the personnel and came to inquire about the situation in person.
Thinking of this, Song Mingjing found a remote corner, ran against the wall, stepped on a straight line, as if chasing the wind, and rushed towards Sun's mansion at high speed.
After a while, Song Mingjing returned to Sun's Mansion and went straight back to the previous courtyard.
About a quarter of an hour later, Sun Fugeng sent someone to ask him to go to the front hall for questioning.
Song Mingjing knew it, and then he went to the hall, and saw Sun Fugeng sitting in the hall, but Ordo did not sit down, with his hands behind his back, his back straight, standing like a javelin.
The subordinates were all sent out, and even the four knights who came with Ordo were only waiting outside Sun's mansion, and there were only Ordo and Sun Fugeng in the hall, but there was a dignified atmosphere.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Ordo turned his head suddenly, and a pair of eagle-like sharp eyes were firmly fixed on Song Mingjing, as if he wanted to see through his whole person.
Song Mingjing smiled, as if he had not felt the slightest pressure, and only bowed.
Sun Fugeng coughed, raised his hand and said, "This is Lord Ordo, the Admiral of the Nine Gates, don't hurry up and see you." ”
The so-called "big gift", that is, kneeling and kowtowing, Song Mingjing didn't even put Qianlong in his eyes, how could he be this kowtow worm?
There was only a slight smile on his face, as if he had not heard of it.
Ordo's face was indifferent, he stared at him for a long time, and said lightly: "You will not miss the slightest trace of the story of your party's encounter with the Red Flower Society. ”
"Good!"
Song Mingjing immediately said it, but for the role he played in this matter, he adopted the Spring and Autumn brushwork and blurred it.
And in the process of his narration, Ordo's eyes kept glued to his face, as if he could tell the truth of his words from the subtle changes in his expression.
After Song Mingjing finished speaking, Ordo suddenly asked, "Are you a disciple of Wudang?" ”
Song Mingjing said: "Not bad. ”
Erduo's eyes flickered, and his words became cold: "Several of my masters have all died, but more than half of your Wudang disciples have retreated, don't you think this matter is too strange?" ”
Song Mingjing said: "Maybe we are lucky enough!" ”
"You're lying!"
Ordo scolded coldly: "In my opinion, you must be a spy of the Red Flower Society, and you should cooperate with them inside and outside, and assassinate them." Do you think this little skill of carving insects can hide it from my eyes? Hum! Come on! ”
Between the words, Erduo's right hand opened, his five fingers "crackled", and the bone joints exploded like fried beans, and his long and sharp nails pierced the air like sharp blades, and as soon as he grabbed it in the air, he poked into Song Mingjing's face.
Swish!
Song Mingjing swung his palm like a knife, cut horizontally with one palm, and slashed at Ordo's wrist.
Erduo retracted his fingers and claws and blocked the past, but when he heard a muffled sound of "bang", the strength shook and staggered.
Song Mingjing and Ordo were each shocked, and the bluestone-paved floor under their feet cracked and shattered like a spider's web.
"Sure enough, it's hidden!" Ordo stared at Song Mingjing coldly, his sharp eyes revealing a fierce murderous intent.
Song Mingjing looked calm and said leisurely: "I originally planned to keep you alive for a few more days, why are you in a hurry to kill yourself?" ”
