Red Dust, Listen to the Wind and Snow Chapter 25
Zhen Xueqing changed into men's clothes.
Wearing a crown of jade and purple gold with her hair inlaid on her head, a wide-sleeved robe with orange double dragons grabbing pearls, and small court boots with blue satin foundation on her feet, she seems to be adorned by His Holiness.
Xiao Nuhu, who looked at her dressing up, had inexplicable sadness in his eyes.
And after she was dressed neatly, she asked him: "Do you have the air of a king when you wear this dress?" ”
Xiao Nuhu said: "The so-called king, the people of the world are afraid of him, and they are jealous and want to kill him." The inner pain of those who ascend to the throne may be very understandable. ”
Zhen Xueqing said: "My mother also told me such a thing, persuading me not to worry about my father's affairs, but the Zhen Mansion is almost in chaos, and Qixue City is in danger everywhere, as the daughter of the city lord, how can I sit idly by?" If I am in a place of no return, I will have to do it. ”
Xiao Nuhu pursed his lips and didn't want to say more.
Zhen Xueqing continued: "Wu Jinglong is dead, but no one in the Zhen Mansion seems to know about it except for you and me. At noon, I want you to hang his head on the east side of the city gate of Qixue City, and inform everyone in the city that Wu Jinglong is dead, and before that, I will meet those martial arts masters in the Zhen Mansion martial arts training field, and let them know that I intend to sit as the city lord for my father......"
Xiao Nuhu said: "Wu Jinglong's head will definitely hang in the east of the city gate at noon. ”
Zhen Xueqing nodded and said, "Now I'm going to meet someone, do you want to go with me?" ”
Xiao Nuhu said: "The person you want to see is Kang Peng? ”
Zhen Xueqing said: "Yes." In the martial arts training field, except for Wu Jinglong, he is the person who is most respected by those masters, and if he has his support, most of the things will be successful. ”
Xiao Nuhu thought for a while and said, "It's better for you to chat with him privately, I'll wait for noon to come." Now that Wu Jinglong has disappeared, many people must be looking for him, and I will be in the sight of many people during this period of time, so as not to be suspected by them. ”
Habitat in the east of Snow City, Ruyi Tavern.
Two old men in disguise sat in a private seat on the second floor, drinking wine.
Although they have been disguised, a discerning person can see at a glance that they are Xiang Botong, the owner of Qingfeng Mountain Cottage, and Shi Zhongquan, the owner of Wild Wolf Mountain Cottage.
At this time, they were discussing the attack on the city tonight.
Shi Zhongquan said: "Brother Xiang, my brother from the Wild Wolf Mountain Cottage will definitely come out tonight, but why did your brother from the Qingfeng Mountain Cottage only sneak into Qixue City less than half?" If you're willing to help me, you should do your best. ”
Xiang Bodao: "Brother Shi Xian, I already have a family appointment with you, why am I unwilling to help you?" What's more, if you sit in Qixue City, as a family member, how can I not feel honored? I also believe that if Brother Shi Xian gets a pot of fragrant meat, it is impossible for him to be unwilling to give me and others a piece of the pie. ”
Shi Zhongquan said: "Then why don't you go out to make you and me have a better chance of winning?" ”
Xiang Bodao: "I think. It's just that you see I'm so old, and to be honest, I don't care about a lot of things in the cottage...... To tell you the truth, I have already handed over most of the power of the Qingfeng Mountain Cottage to the three masters, Qi Jianlai, and now I can mobilize half of the soldiers and horses in the cottage, and I have done my best. ”
Shi Zhongquan took a sip of wine, endured a wave of anger, and didn't say anything.
Xiang Botong continued: "I hope Brother Shi Xian understands, brother I ...... In order to show my loyalty, I have brought my little girl here, and my brother can take her away now, in case I have any accidents. ”
Shi Zhongquan said: "This is not necessary. Now that I have believed in Brother Xiang, how can I be suspicious again? Don't worry, as soon as this matter is completed, I will give you countless treasures as gift money for the next hire and hand it over to Qingfeng Mountain Cottage. ”
Xiang Botong raised his wine glass with a smile and said, "Brother Shi Xian is still the most enjoyable, come, do it!" ”
Shi Zhongquan raised his glass and suppressed his anger.
After three rounds of drinking, Shi Zhongquan said: "Before the incident, Brother Xian asked Brother Tai to come here, can Brother Tai know what is going on?" ”
Xiang Botong thought about it, waved his hand, and said, "I don't know, I still hope that the virtuous brother will make it clear." ”
Shi Zhongquan asked: "Zhen Qijian suddenly disappeared, do you know who is the head of the Zhen Mansion?" ”
Xiang Bo channel: "Without Zhen Qiji, the only person who can do things in the Zhen Mansion is probably Wu Jinglong, the 'master' of the martial arts training field." ”
Shi Zhongquan said: "The reason why I asked you to come here is to let you take a look at his head. ”
Xiang Botong asked in surprise, "You have already killed him?" ”
Shi Zhongquan said: "If the Zhen Mansion is not chaotic, wouldn't it be too much of an obstacle for you and me to attack the city?" ”
Xiang Botong gave a thumbs up and said, "Brother Shi Xian is really a master. The so-called shooting a man first shoots a horse, and a thief captures the king first, but this is just the truth. ”
Shi Zhongquan said: "However, I still have a big problem that has not been eliminated until now. ”
Xiang Bodao: "Who is it?" ”
Shi Zhongquan said: "Another master in the Zhen Mansion's martial arts training field, Kang Peng. ”
Xiang Botong's face couldn't help but change.
Seeing his changed face, Shi Zhongquan asked, "Brother Xiang has heard of this person?" ”
Xiang Bodao: "I've heard of it. However, this person has always been low-key, and no one knows the details of this person. ”
Shi Zhongquan said: "But, I know. ”
Xiang Botong let out an "oh" and asked, "Brother Shi Xian, you say." ”
Shi Zhongquan said: "This person entered the Zhen Mansion seven years ago, and Zhen abandoned his illness as a guest. He originally wanted this person to manage the martial arts training ground, but this person has never been concerned about the world, so he resigned. This person's martial arts are very high, and there is probably no one in the entire Qixue City who can compare with him. ”
Xiang Botong narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "What is the purpose of Brother Shi Xian telling me about this person?" ”
Shi Zhongquan said: "Brother Xian knows that Brother Xiang's sword is not old, and Brother Xian also wants to meet such a first-class master for a while, so after attacking the city, if you meet this person, I hope you and I will join forces to deal with him." ”
Xiang Botong lowered his head and didn't say anything.
Shi Zhongquan asked: "Isn't Brother Xiang afraid to fight against this strong enemy?" ”
Xiang Botong sighed and said, "Thanks to Brother Xian, if I meet this person tonight, I am willing to fight side by side with Brother Xian and kill him." ”
Shi Zhongquan was relieved, raised his glass and smiled: "Okay, what I'm waiting for is Brother Tai's words." Here, a toast! ”
Xiang Botong raised his glass and drank it all.
After Shi Zhongquan drank wine, he said: "There is a flagpole standing in the east of the city gate, after noon, a head will be hung on the flagpole, brother, you and I will sit here and wait, and see how Qi Xuecheng is in chaos because of this head." ”
Xiang Bo channel: "After tonight, there will be a great change in the rivers and lakes, and Qi Snow City is the virtuous brother's. ”
Shi Zhongquan smiled, left his seat to look in the direction of Zhen's mansion, and said: "I have been waiting for this day for most of my life, and now I finally have the opportunity to be ashamed, destroy Zhen Qiji's old nest, and make myself a human being." ”
Xiang Botong drank a glass of wine, looked at him with slanted eyes, and a mocking smile flowed from the corner of his mouth.
