The girl in the hat ignored the brocade-clothed young man who walked towards her, looked over the young man's shoulder, looked at the tall old man who was also walking in the same direction, she said with a depressed expression: "Just now you are going to kill someone if you don't agree with each other, although you have your reasons, but I don't think it's right." ”

The young man in brocade stopped seven or eight steps away from the cold girl, and said with a sincere look in his eyes: "My name is Gao Zhen, and I am from Yiyang County, Great Sui. If Grandpa Wu has offended anything, I am willing to apologize and compensate the girl. ”

The tall old man stood behind the brocade-clothed young man with mixed feelings. The so-called children of the Gao family of Yiyang County of the Great Sui Dynasty are actually just an implicit statement. In the 1,200 years of the Great Sui Dynasty, the people who sat on the dragon chair were surnamed Gao, and Emperor Taizu was the dragon who was in Yiyang County.

The girl was indifferent to this, raised her hands to tie the bandages, and said to the old man: "If I am outside, facing a martial arts master who is very likely to have 'traveled far away from the wind', I am definitely not an opponent. But at this moment, if I pretend to be a flying sword, you will definitely die. ”

The tall old man sneered: "As long as that assassin knows your killer weapon in advance, with his little grandmaster's peak physique, as long as he protects the vital point, what if you can pierce the ten swords? Little girl, I don't know where you got the confidence to say the words 'certain death'. ”

The girl frowned, and quietly held the handle of the knife with one hand, "I'm a person who is very afraid of trouble, and I hate to quarrel with people, otherwise let's try it to see if it's true or not?

The old man, who had little chance of being threatened, was a little annoyed. If it weren't for being in this treacherous place that the gods hated and hated, with the cultivation of a girl like this, no matter how talented she was, the old man would be able to crush and torture ten with one hand. Taking a step back, if it weren't for the heavy responsibility and the need to take care of His Royal Highness the young man who was pinned on by the whole country of the Great Sui, even if the old man was seriously injured by the suppression of the avenue that circulated by itself here, he would have to teach the girl who didn't know the height of the sky, the newborn calf was not afraid of the tiger, and the courage was commendable, nothing more, it didn't mean that the tiger would not eat the calf clean.

The brocade-clothed young man who claimed to be Gao Zhi hurriedly said: "If the girl must be investigated, I am willing to take out this thing as a remedy." ”

Gao Zhen lowered his head and opened the cloth bag on his waist, took out the jade seal, held it with one hand, and handed it to the girl in the hat in the distance, "To show sincerity, I just ask the girl not to pursue the unintentional offense of Grandpa Wu before, after all, he is out of loyalty and harmless heart." ”

The tall old eunuch with white eyebrows and hair was suddenly shocked, knelt down on one knee, and said in a panic: "Your Highness can't!

The young man with a high surname who was born in Tianhuang was stiff.

The girl seemed to be a little impatient, and sneered: "The frog at the bottom of the well in a remote corner likes to cherish the broom. Take back that jade seal, I've always liked a saying, a gentleman doesn't take people's favor. ”

The girl acted neatly, turned around and left.

The young man in brocade was relieved, "Get up, Grandpa Wu, it's not like talking on your knees." I, the twelve Great Mink Temples of the Great Sui, have always only knelt to the emperor, if this is seen by the six branch officials or the people of the Ministry of Rites, and take it out to talk about things, we will both be unlucky. Okay, this trip to the town, I am protected by my ancestors, successfully completed, we don't want to be sideways, leave here quickly, and after receiving their own people outside, don't take it lightly, you must know that the six pillars of the Dali Dynasty, among which Yuan and Cao are opposite camps, but it is not a coincidence, these two pillars of Da Li, with our Great Sui Gao clan have a common hatred, once Grandpa Wu you have an accident here, the combat power is damaged, it is difficult for me to return to Da Sui unharmed. ”

The old man nodded and got up slowly, "The old slave knows the severity of the matter. ”

When the old man said the word "urgent", the hooded girl had already walked out more than twenty steps.

A fresh breeze blew around the brocade-clothed boy, and his sideburns and brocade robe sleeves were blown up.

It turned out that the old man next to him who was in the power of the Great Sui Xuanhe did not let go of the girl's mind at all, and at this time he had already rushed away, and the first three steps were heavily trampled on the ground of the alley, the sound was dull, and it was more than a foot through the ground, and when he took the fourth step, the old man had already jumped high and smashed the girl's vest with a fist.

The hooded girl's waist twisted suddenly, with the tip of her left foot as the support point, and her right hand pulled the knife out of the sheath, and a snow-white light appeared in the alley that was more dazzling than the sun.

The tall old man came to the top with a crushing momentum, a punch smashed straight on the blade, the back of the hand was only cut out of a bloody mark by the sharp edge, the old eunuch's feet hit the ground, continued to rush forward, pushed the girl with the knife has been backwards, the old man then lightly stretched out a palm, seemingly slow and calm, in fact, lightning generally pushed on the girl's forehead, the old man was just about to increase the force, a palm shattered the head hidden under the hood, hurriedly moved, the body moved a foot, snorted, looked down, the weapon penetrated his right chest from the back, is the tip of the sword。

The old man's face remained unchanged, and he grabbed the tip of the sword with his fingers together and pushed it back.

The sharp flying sword that followed the girl's wishes was pushed out of his chest.

Because of the obstruction of the flying sword, the old eunuch not only failed to smash the girl's head with one palm, but the girl whose body flew out upside down and fell into the alley, taking this opportunity to breathe, got up and was as strong as a tanuki, and quickly disappeared from a fork in the alley.

The young man's face was gloomy and terrifying, his fists were clenched, his momentum was vigorous, and his face was full of anger: "Imperial Horse Supervisor Palm Seal Eunuch, Wu Yue Wu Diao Temple! Why do you refuse to listen to my hints, you have to be so biased, you really think that this town is the most invincible in the world of your Wu Mink Temple? Obviously, we did the wrong thing first, and she was not aggressive afterwards, and she was already willing to settle the matter, why are you still so vicious, it is simply too deceitful!"

The old eunuch withdrew his gaze from the direction where the girl had fled from the alley, turned around and walked back, his waist straight, and he looked more and more imposing. The old man walked back slowly, step by step, as if he had stepped heavily on his heart.

The young man felt the suffocating power, and was oppressed by a minion, and he was even more angry, his eyes widened, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Imperial Horse Supervisor Wu Mink Temple, you are a capital crime!"

The old eunuch said indifferently: "Your Highness, the death penalty and the living crime need to be decided by Your Majesty personally." In our family's view, the safety of His Royal Highness is the weight of the mountains and is placed in the first place, and the existence of the small town girl itself, in our family's view, has become an urgent need, so if we really want everything to be fine, only by killing her and killing her, she is dead, our family can feel at ease. ”

Seeing the almost irrepressible anger in the young man's eyes, the old eunuch sighed and said softly: "In the palace for more than 60 years, our family has seen too many intrigues, bloody, bloodless, countless, for people's hearts, our family really does not have the slightest confidence. Just the assassination incidents on the way to the escort, large and small, our family has personally solved more than 30 cases. Your Highness, the insidious cunning of those assassin killers is absolutely unimaginable, especially some crazy dead soldiers, which are simply unreasonable, just take the masked killer and the hooded girl just now......"

The brocade-clothed young man stretched out his finger and pointed at the old eunuch with an indifferent face, and angrily accused: "Shut up! You old eunuch! I don't want to listen to your nonsense! I am only sure that you have ruined my careful co-optation, you are a blind man, and I also know how talented and amazing the girl who can control the flying sword is! Even among the cultivators on the mountain, she is also the most top-notch genius! Such a character, not to mention Da Sui or Da Li, is the entire Dongbao Aquarius, and she is also a rare existence! I only need to train her for ten years, twenty years at most, and she will be able to become the most powerful assassin in the shadow behind me! Let you be a land immortal and a great martial arts master, what is the result? I am Gao Zhen, the future prince of the Great Sui Dynasty! I am the master of you, the old eunuch of Wu!"

It is very strange that the elderly eunuch who has experienced the vicissitudes of life, instead of being annoyed by a "old eunuch", his eyes became more and more gratified, and when the young man finished venting, he finally stopped scolding the street, the old man looked at the panting young man, and smiled: "Your Highness, although you may not know the treacherous ways of the world and the sinister hearts of people because of some things, Your Highness has done something very well, very much Your Majesty's style back then." ”

The atmosphere was awkward.

After Gao Zhi calmed down, he should have realized that he was very wrong, before he was appointed as the crown prince, he was so disrespectful to an old man who was the eunuch of the imperial horse supervisor and one of the three gatekeepers of the Great Sui Palace, and the key was that this person also won the trust of the father and the queen mother, so the prince Gao Zhi opened his mouth, but saw the powerful eunuch who was scolded by himself as an old eunuch, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, remember one thing, don't say sorry to your subordinates casually, there is no need, and you have practiced your identity in vain, and your subordinates may not appreciate it." Even if you feel guilty, you should bury it deep in your heart, you need to know that the emperor and king, who is known as the true dragon of the world, is the Ninety-Five Venerable with the Heavenly Constitution in his mouth......"

Gao Zhi said: "Grandpa Wu, with my current status, it is too early to say this. ”

The old eunuch's body suddenly tensed, as if he was facing a great enemy, and pulled the brocade-clothed young man behind him, and the old man looked at the body of the masked killer.

There was a slender middle-aged Confucian who suddenly appeared at the end of the alley, walked in slowly, came to the killer's corpse, squatted down, took off his scarf, and saw only a strange face, no eyebrows, a shaved nose, and words were engraved on the face.

There is no doubt that this man was a prisoner in his lifetime.

The Confucian scholar was silent, and it was really premeditated, I am afraid that this plan will start from the Temple of Literature.

Gao Zhen's eyes were blazing, and he walked out from behind the old eunuch, bent down, no matter how he saluted first, and then raised his head and asked respectfully, "Dare to ask, but is it Mr. Qi from Mountain Cliff Academy?"

The Confucian stood up and said to Gao Zhen, "If you hadn't taken the lead in occupying a great opportunity, the two of you wouldn't have been able to leave so easily today. ”

Outsiders fight each other in the town, according to the rules established by the first four saints, the punishment is not heavy, but it is not light, compared to the indiscriminate killing of ordinary people in the town will inevitably be expelled, the fight between outsiders, there is an obvious "loophole", so that people can make up for the dead, Gao Zhi including the three groups of people, the reason why they all carry a "servant" , It is precisely because of this that the worst preparations were made, so as to launch it as a scapegoat at a critical moment, otherwise just a place, it would cost half of the savings of the Emperor Gao of the Great Sui Dynasty, at least the private money of a great emperor and His Majesty the Emperor, a full half of the family foundation, the amount is huge, it can be imagined, so who is willing to be such an unjust boss for no reason?

In fact, to put it in layman's terms, it is just to spend money to eliminate disasters.

It's just that the expenses here are not exaggerated to describe by emptying a mountain of gold and silver, and the so-called spending a lot of money in the secular market is simply child's play in comparison.

Gao Zhen, who was ordered to be evicted, continued to take care of himself and said: "Mr. Qi, if you have the opportunity in the future, can you go to my Dasui Academy to give a lecture?

The old eunuch thought about it, but still did not stop the young man's arrogance.

If he can really persuade this scholar to give advice to the Gao clan of the Great Sui in the future, the Emperor of the Great Sui will definitely be happy.

The Confucian scholar smiled, but did not answer.

At this time, in the face of the Dinghai Divine Needle sitting here, Mr. Qi of the Mountain Cliff Academy, showed another extreme posture, bowed his head and hugged his fists and said: "Mr. Qi, there is a lot of trouble, and I still look at Haihan." It is really helpless to make a move against a junior, and I hope that Mr. will understand our family's hard work as a slave of the Gao family. ”

Qi Jingchun waved his sleeves, "Leave quickly." ”

Gao Zhen and the old eunuch had no choice but to say goodbye and leave, just taking a route of retreat of the hooded girl.

The boy whispered, "She's dead?"

The old eunuch shook his head and said, "I am sure that my life will not be long." The flying sword is nothing more than to let her live a little longer, and it doesn't help. ”

The young man hesitated for a moment and asked curiously, "When did Grandpa Wu see that she was driving the flying sword, but it was far from being as relaxed and comfortable as it seemed on the surface?"

The old man said, "It's too late, her early wisdom has missed the horse's feet." ”

The boy was puzzled.

The old eunuch took the young man out of the original alley, and said softly: "Let's ask Your Highness a question, Your Highness has seen a lot of rare objects in the world, will you still be interested in the ordinary porcelain in the town?"

The young man patted the pocket of his waist and said with a smile: "Of course not, only this jade seal, or something of the same level as it, can make me feel happy." ”

The old eunuch nodded and said, "That's exactly the reason. When that girl was killing someone, her heart was like water, and she was extremely calm and calm, just like ...... Ordinary people eat and drink Lazar. And after realizing my true martial arts cultivation afterwards, she decisively gave up the idea of fighting, especially afraid that I would see through her lust and deliberately take the initiative to provoke us, her real intention is to find a step for both sides, is afraid that our family will have murderous intentions, and would rather kill by mistake than misplace, and cut her to the roots, so she must break the situation, of course, it turns out that she did not do well. But in the end, at a young age, it is not easy to have this thought. But the more this is the case, once the tiger is released and allowed to thrive, the greater the threat to His Highness in the future. ”

The old man sighed: "Young girls and girls, when they are in high spirits, if they kill people with blood, or die generously, in fact, our family is not strange, but after thinking about it slowly, they go to death calmly, or they can't afford to kill people who ripple in the heart lake, it is very abnormal." It can even be said that this temperament that can only be tempered by experience has little to do with a person's talent and qualifications. Whether it is a monk or a martial artist, many geniuses die early, because the shortcomings of their temperament are too obvious, and they are prone to bad things when they encounter ups and downs. ”

Gao Zhen lamented: "Anyway, it's a pity. ”

The old eunuch half-truthfully joked: "Your Highness, if such a character is born and dies, you have to sigh once, then when Your Highness really stands on the top of the mountain in the future, it should be very busy." ”

The boy laughed, "I don't believe it. ”

The old eunuch suddenly said: "I don't know if it's a delusion, our family feels that Mr. Qi, who is cultivating all over the sky, seems to have a big problem." ”

The prince of the Great Sui said with a face full of indifference: "Anyway, as long as you can get this 'Dragon Gate' seal, even if it is done, where did you think that this priceless treasure seal has actually 'become' a small addition to a big deal, so we should accept it when we see it." As soon as I think of that golden carp, I can't help but think of that straw sandals boy......"

The old eunuch smiled and said, "Your Highness is thinking of finding an opportunity in the future to thank this young man?"

The young man shook his head and said, "Where, I'm sorry for that bag of copper coins." ”

The old man laughed dumbly.

Maybe there will be a thrifty emperor in the Sui Dynasty in the future?

A secluded alley facing north and south, with only the sound of cars.

There is a young Taoist priest with a lotus crown on his head, who has stopped doing business early today, and is pushing the cart forward, thinking that after returning to his residence, he will clean up and hurry back to his home.

There was a slender man in black, who suddenly staggered out from the fork in the east-west alley, and finally leaned his back against the wall, moving slowly, one hand over the curtain to expose the tulle, covering his mouth vigorously, and pointing at the young Taoist with the other.

The young Taoist hurriedly bowed his head and said silently, "You can't see me...... Can't see me...... Taishang Laojun is as anxious as a law...... Forget it, it's still the blessing of the Buddha, and the Bodhisattva manifests ......"

When a Taoist priest comes to the end, he does not seek the ancestors of the Three Qings, but goes to the Buddha to worship the Bodhisattva, which is really a bit unusual.

Sure enough, the Buddha and Bodhisattva seemed to be unwilling to deal with the disciples and grandchildren of the other sects, and the last bit of strength that the hooded girl came out of nowhere, staggered and rushed towards the Taoist, and fell down with a thud, but the last hand grabbed the Taoist's ankle.

The young Taoist held his head in his hands, and looked miserable with a collapsed face, as if he was looking up and asking the sky: "Isn't such a big cause and effect smashed over the poor Dao the same as letting the poor Dao engrave the words 'bent on death' on his forehead......? It's very hard, okay! The big Sui Gao clan who fucked your mother, and the old dog surnamed Wu, you wait for the poor road, this account is not five hundred years, and it is not clear at all...... The cultivation of the poor Dao is so shallow, I really can't afford to carry any heavy burdens......"

The young Taoist who was already incoherent lowered his head, but he barely burst into tears, "Little girl, if you have compassion, let go of the poor road, and when you turn back to the poor road, I will help you find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, the feng shui is excellent, and it will definitely be able to bless the heirs...... Oh no, the girl is still a yellow flower girl, then ......"

The girl had fainted completely.

Seeing that there was no one around, the young Taoist squatted down and was about to quietly break the girl's five fingers.

Whoosh.

The flying sword hovered in the air, and the tip of the sword was only three inches away from the young Taoist's eyebrows.

The young Taoist quietly let go of his hand, his face was full of pity, and he said with great righteousness: "How can people not have compassion if they are not grass and trees?

The young Taoist sat cross-legged, his entire handsome face about to crumple, "Where to send it next, it's also troublesome." ”

The flying sword, which had been three inches away from the center of the Daoist's eyebrows, quickly moved forward by an inch.

The Taoist patiently explained: "If you want your master to survive, Poor Dao also needs a helper, by the way, you go to the old locust tree to poke a locust leaf over, Poor Dao first hangs this breath of vitality for her, your master is a little special, Poor Dao doesn't want to save people indiscriminately in order to save people, and when the time comes, she accidentally delays her cultivation future, this new cause and effect...... Fucking let the poor Dao want to die for a hundred years......"

The flying sword seemed to hesitate, and the tip of the sword trembled slightly.

The Taoist said angrily: "Go early, and your master will be able to walk back from the ghost gate as soon as possible." It's too late, let's finish it together!"

The flying sword vanished in the blink of an eye.

The Taoist said angrily in a low voice: "Lang has the intention of a concubine, and only then can he become a beloved, you Qi Jingchun and Mr. Qi Da are good, mess up the mandarin duck spectrum, and don't wipe your ass when you shit!"

The young Taoist supported his cheeks with one hand and pinched his fingers with the other hand to tell the hexagram, "Let the poor Dao calculate, which family in the town will send you, you can survive, and the other party will not be ruined." Let's start with the Lu family...... The Lu family is not good, it is similar to the Zhao family, and there is already a chance, so the Song family?"

The Taoist in this alley did not fall.

In the courtyard of the Song family on Fulu Street, all the door gods posted on the doors of the big and small doors instantly lost their luster and were dim, and wisps of green smoke that were invisible to mortals rose up.

In the depths of the courtyard, a barefoot old man pushed the door out, stood in the courtyard and jumped to his feet and scolded angrily: "Which bastard is plotting to kill my Song family's foundation?!

The young Taoist coughed and said to himself: "The Liu family on Fulu Street, looking at the prosperity of incense, seems to be a master who can carry things, try it?"

The plaque of the Liu family, which has been inherited for thousands of years, shattered suddenly, and shocking cracks appeared.

An old woman had a strong voice, and hit the ground heavily with her dragon's head cane, "Where is sacred, can you come out and see it?!"

The young Taoist pretended that nothing had happened, "Then the Wei family in Taoye Lane? ”

Soon, someone used secret techniques to transmit the voice, and shouted angrily to the school: "Qi Jingchun! You don't care?! If you can't manage it, or don't dare to take care of it, just get out of here and give up your position to Ruan Qiong! Let him clean up this sneaky guy! Or is it all this, you Qi Jingchun himself is venting his personal grudges?"

There was a man on the bank of the creek south of the town's covered bridge, leading the people to dig a well, and as he stood up straight, his lips moved slightly to the north.

It was like a spring thunder, rolling over Fulu Street and Taoye Lane, "That's enough! Don't be disrespectful to Mr. Qi, and I, Ruan, will never get involved in the affairs of the town before the spring equinox!"

For a time, the world was lonely, and everything was silent.

And the culprit sitting next to the cart in the alley was grabbing one of the hands of the girl in black, and then threw the emerald locust leaf brought by the flying sword on her blood-blurred palm.

After the locust leaf touched the wound on the girl's palm, it melted like ice and snow and dissipated in an instant.

The young Taoist sighed with emotion: "Every time I see this situation, I have to feel ...... for this work of heaven and earth."

After brewing for a long time, the Taoist couldn't come up with words that he was satisfied with.

The young Taoist finally lowered his head and looked at the girl who was slightly overflowing, and was a little embarrassed, "Since the amount of qi you are involved in is greater than the poor Dao imagined, then you can only go against the grain." On the town, there are 600 households, intertwined, and they have been impregnated with the breath of this secret realm for generations. This is like finding a big official in the hall of the court, it's easy, find a beggar, how do you let the poor road find it?"

The young Taoist sighed.

I really found such a poor worm.

He was not surprised at all, but was terrified, closed his eyes, and asked himself.

The young Taoist sighed, "No matter what, let's see how you choose first, the poor Dao will never force it, if you don't want to, the poor Dao will take care of this cause and effect by himself." ”

In the end, he learned from the monk to fold his hands, "Buddha bless, Bodhisattva manifests, we must let the poor road survive this calamity." ”

————

In Mud Bottle Alley.

The young Taoist bent down and pushed a two-wheeled cart, came to a stop outside the gate of a courtyard, knocked on the door, and asked, "Is Chen Ping'an here?"

On the cart, in the gap in the corner, there was a long sword with a snow-white sheath, and the flying sword in the sheath was sickly, as if he was disgusted that the young Taoist had found such a broken house.
