Volume 1 A Dream in the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 56 The First Speculum
The Prime Minister's Mansion is solemn and magnificent.
Two horses galloped towards them and stopped in front of the huge stone lion.
The handsome man in white turned over and dismounted, light as fluttering, and not shocked.
"Master Hou is coming, making the humble house shine, please come inside."
Prime Minister Su Liangren and Crown Prince Fu Yi were coming quickly at this moment, greeting each other with a salute, and said with a smile.
"I've seen His Royal Highness, Ben Hou came abruptly, and I asked the old man to be strange." Baili peerless returned the salute and smiled slightly.
"Please." Su Liangren waved his hand and invited.
The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and walked into the house.
Yan You handed over the horse rope to the little guy at the door, and followed him into the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Dare to ask the elder of the country, where are the people imprisoned?" In the study, Baili peerless tea, asked leisurely.
Su Liangren stroked his beard and smiled, and said, "Don't worry, Master Hou, people are imprisoned in the basement of the backyard, everything is safe." ”
"The old man is doing things, Ben Hou is naturally at ease." Baili Peerless said slowly.
Huangfu thought for a while, and muttered: "This time, King Rong sent two people, both of whom are top masters, if it weren't for the careful planning of the Hou Ye and the elder of the country, there would definitely be no such gains." ”
Baili peerless shook his head and smiled: "Your Highness is serious, when it comes to merit, it is naturally the old man of the country, and Benhou is just joining in the fun." ”
Su Liangren waved his hand and said with a smile: "Hou Ye doesn't have to be humble, if it wasn't for Hou Ye's original reminder, this pavilion would not have thought of such a clever plan." What's more, if there is no help from the masters in the Hou Mansion, this pavilion will not be able to catch these two assassins, so Hou Ye will not be polite. ”
Baili peerless laughed loudly: "Since this is the case, Ben Hou will gladly accept it." Saying that, he said to the emperor, "Your Highness should still be in Lingyin Temple at this time, why did you come back so early?" ”
Speaking of this, Huang Fuyi couldn't help but show a smug smile on his face: "This is naturally the credit of the queen mother." ”
Baili peerless smiled and said, "I see, the queen mother is very favored by His Majesty, and this little thing is naturally not a problem." ”
Huangfu raised his eyebrows and smiled: "This palace heard that Yue Gongzi came to the imperial capital, I don't know if the Hou Ye has heard of it?" ”
"Oh, that's it?" Baili Peerless Sword frowned slightly, and pretended to be surprised, "When did Your Highness hear about it?" ”
"When the palace has just returned to the palace, the Hou Ye can send someone to investigate the truth and reality."
Baili peerless nodded and sighed: "It seems that Yue Changsi was negligent there, Ben Hou immediately sent someone to investigate, if there is accurate news, plan well, and you will definitely recruit Yue Changsi to His Highness." ”
Su Liangren nodded again and again and said: "What Master Hou said is extremely true, Yue Gongzi's talent is the best in the world, if he helps, he will definitely get twice the result with half the effort." ”
"Well, let's make another decision." Baili's peerless eyes were deep, "At this moment, it's time to meet the two distinguished guests." ”
"Your Highness, please, Lord Hou, please." Su Liangren got up and invited.
"Please." The three of them headed for the basement of the backyard.
At this time, Tian'ancheng East Street, spring breeze and rain pavilion.
The autumn sun casts faint golden ripples from the window, and the wind rises, and the light veil raises, crushing the golden spots on the ground.
The tea was already cold, but Huangfu Yuntian had no energy to care. He sat lazily on the couch in front of the window, his eyes were distant, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
On the handsome face, five finger prints are clearly visible. This is naturally Liu Zhaoyi's masterpiece.
The prince's new policy failed, and Emperor Honghua not only failed to punish the prince and the queen, but the status of the prince and the queen was better than before, which called Liu Zhaoyi how not to be angry, so she naturally vented her anger on Huangfu Yuntian.
The wound on his face was still aching, and Huangfu Yun's gaze gradually became cloudy.
Yun Rong Yuan lifted the curtain and came in, his eyes fell on him like water, and a touch of sadness between his eyebrows was as bright as the autumn sun.
But as soon as I thought of the news I had just received, the sorrow dimmed for a moment, disappeared, and was replaced by a solemn color.
"Lord Wang, the people of the Flying Mirror Club have missed."
"Missed?" Huangfu Yun got up, his eyes were pregnant with wind, frost, rain and snow, and the coldness hit people, "Didn't the flower demon fox say that these two people are masters of the Flying Mirror Society, how could they miss?" ”
Yun Rong Yuan lowered his eyebrows and sighed: "Since the organization of the mist was merged into the Essence Palace, the strength of the Essence Palace has increased greatly, and there are almost masters in the palace, Rong Yuan took this reason into account, so he sent two people to go, but he didn't expect it to fall into their hands." ”
"Jingjue Palace, Qi'an Houfu, a hundred miles peerless, this person has repeatedly broken the good deeds of this king, he had better not fall into the hands of this king, otherwise he will be worse off than dead." After Huangfu Yuntian finished speaking, he smashed his fist against the window lattice, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he wanted to break that person's body into pieces.
"Lord Wang!" Yun Rongyuan exclaimed, stepped forward to take his hand, and sighed faintly, "Lord Wang, why are you so troubled?" ”
Huangfu Yuntian coldly withdrew his hand and hid it in his sleeve, stood with his hands in his hands, and asked in a cold voice, "Do you know where the person is imprisoned?" ”
"It's still under investigation, and there's no news yet."
"Waste." Huangfu Yun said in a cold voice, "Rong Yuan, if you repeatedly challenge this king's ability to understand that it is not good for you, this king will doubt whether you are really loyal to this king. ”
Yun Rong Kite was shocked, bowed to the ground, and said firmly: "The prince is clear, Rong Kite's loyalty to the prince can be seen in heaven and earth, and the sun and the moon can be expressed." This time it was Rong Kite's negligence, Rong Kite's willingness to atone the merit for his crimes, and ask the prince to forgive him. ”
Huangfu Yun looked at her condescendingly, the wind and clouds in his eyes changed, and finally calmed down, and said lightly: "That's it, the most important thing now is how to rescue people, otherwise Feijing will be difficult to deal with." After a pause, he said, "This king got the news that Yue Changsi came to the imperial capital, we must take this opportunity to win over Yue Changsi, and don't let the prince take the lead." ”
"Rong Kite understands." Yun Rongyuan stood up and said respectfully.
"Stand down." Huangfu Yun waved his hand, his voice tired.
Yun Rong Kite's gaze fell on his hand, and he said softly: "Lord Wang, let Rong Yuan clean up your wounds first." ”
"No, it's business." Huangfu Yuntian's voice returned to clarity.
Yun Rongyuan's eyes were worried, but he knew his temperament, so he sighed secretly and retreated.
Huangfu Yun stretched out his clothes, sat down leisurely, poured himself a glass of wine, his eyes were slightly condensed, and said coldly: "Come out." ”
"Haha······" A burst of light laughter suddenly sounded in the room, and in the laughter, only a black shadow flashed, and a figure fell on the opposite side of Huangfu Yuntian like a wisp.
This person was sloppy in black clothes, his face was still clear, his eyes were bright, there was a hint of a ruffian smile on the corner of his mouth, and he sat opposite Huangfu Yuntian in an indecent posture, and his behavior was extremely arrogant.
This person is none other than the Ghost Thief Night Stalker.
"Night owl, can you bring back the people this king wants?" Huangfu Yun glanced at him like snow, frowned, and asked in a cold voice.
The night owl didn't answer, but poured himself a glass of wine first, drank it leisurely, his face showed intoxication, shook his head and praised: "Good wine, good wine, in this life, it is worth dying if you can drink this month's hidden snowflake brewing." ”
Huangfu Yun's eyes lit up, his shot was like electricity, and with a flick of his robe, the wine in the pot turned into a wine arrow and went straight to the center of the night owl's eyebrows.
The night owl's expression was frozen, his body bounced, and he was able to dodge the fatal blow in a flash, and he couldn't help but be frightened, patting his chest, and his voice was frightened: "Fortunately, I dodged it." But when he saw the wine stains on the ground, he shook his head and sighed, "The snowflakes of the Moon Hidden Country are worth one or two gold, it's a pity to waste it like this." After saying that, he stared straight at the ground, and he wanted to pounce on the ground and suck up the wine stains.
"Night Stalker." Huangfu Yuntian gritted his teeth word by word, and his tone was full of warning.
"Okay, okay, I say." The night owl sighed helplessly, and was afraid that he would spoil the wine again, so he hurriedly dodged and hugged the wine jug in his arms, and then slowly continued, "I'm sorry, but the human thief you asked for didn't bring it back." But ······"
"But what?" Huangfu Yun was about to get angry, but he still asked angrily.
The corners of the night owl's lips hooked slightly, smiled mysteriously, and said, "Do you know who the poisonous Rakshasa Zhao Yu has to do with him, that person is something you would never have imagined." ”
Huangfu Yun was stunned, pondered, and sneered: "You shouldn't mean that Yue Changsi is about it, this king has already known about this matter." ”
"No, no, no." The night owl took a sip of wine, shook a finger, and smirked, "Ben said the thief didn't think of it." ”
Huangfu Yun saw that he was so leisurely and comfortable, and he couldn't help but say angrily: "It's not Yue Changsi, is it a hundred miles of peerlessness?" ”
"That's right." The night owl clapped his hands and smiled, "It's Qi An's peerless waiting." ”
"Night owl, you dare to fool this king." Huangfu Yun shouted angrily.
Poisonous Rakshasa Zhao Yu would have something to do with Qi'an Houfu, and if he said it, the entire Jianghu would not believe it.
"This is the result of this thief's pursuit for several days, believe it or not." The night stalker shrugged indifferently.
"Is this really true?" Huangfu Yuntian asked again.
"Of course it's true, this thief finally broke through the many checkpoints of Qi'an Houfu to get this shocking news, not to mention that this thief has always been a big thief, what are you lying to?" The night owl crossed Erlang's legs and said leisurely.
Huangfu Yuntian glanced at him coldly, thoughts flowed in his mind, and he said in a deep voice after a while: "If the poisonous Rakshasa really has a lot to do with the Baili peerless, then ······" He suddenly thought of something, his face was happy, and he threw off his clothes and walked out of the room.
The Night Stalker looked at his back, a strange smile on his face. However, the smile disappeared in an instant, and the room was filled with the smell of wine.
In the basement of the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, in a dark room, two people were tied to the torture rack, a man and a woman.
The blood on the two of them had coagulated to black, stuck to the dark blue clothes, and their heads were slightly hanging and they had passed out, but it could still be seen that the two were probably in their forties.
The four of Baili peerless people pushed open the door and saw such a scene.
"In order to prevent them from escaping, this pavilion ordered someone to pour anesthetic medicine into them, and they are now in a coma." He said loudly, "Come on, wake them up." ”
Immediately, a servant brought two basins of cold water and poured them on the unconscious two. Only two exclamations were heard, and the person had woken up leisurely.
"Yan You, go take a look." Baili peerless commanded.
"Yes." Yan You replied respectfully and stepped forward to check.
"Who are you?" The middle-aged man was the first to wake up, and shouted coldly when he saw everyone.
"Who are you?" The emperor asked.
Yan You searched himself.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man couldn't help but struggle, snorted, and said in a rough voice: "Just because you also want to know grandpa's name, I'm sorry." ”
Yan You ignored him, and after a while, he finished the search, and reported to Baili Peerless: "Master Hou, there is a circular mark engraved on this person's shoulder, and this round bronze medal was found from his body. ”
Baili peerless took it and took a look, only to see the bronze medal carved with winged Peng birds, and a small seal in the middle.
This is the "Hanging Mirror Feipeng" token that represents the Dharma Protector in the Flying Mirror Society. Baili Peerless said lightly.
"What?" Huangfu was shocked, "They are from the Flying Mirror Society?" ”
Baili's peerless eyes were deep, and his voice was faint: "It seems that this is definitely true." ”
"Master Hou, according to this pavilion, these two people will be handed over to Master Hou for you to dispose of." Su Liangren saw that the Jianghu sect was involved, so he said.
Baili Peerless nodded and said, "Okay." ”
The three of them walked out of the backyard slowly.
