The shopkeeper was forced by Nie Zhen to ride a tiger, so he could only take the wine glass, his face was full of embarrassment, and he said in a trembling voice: Official, the little one really doesn't know how to drink The words in his mouth were trembling, but suddenly his wrist turned outward, and all the wine in the cup was raised to Nie Zhen's face, and at the same time, a dagger fell out of the cuff of his other hand, he held the handle of the knife, aimed at Shangguan Xiu next to him, stabbed viciously, and shouted: Dog official, take your life!

The sharp edge of the dagger slashed a flash of lightning in the air, and it went straight to Shangguan Xiu's face. The latter seemed to be on guard for a long time www.biquge.info with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he raised his hand unhurriedly, and flicked his fingers to the side casually.

There was a thud of metal, and the dagger stabbed in his face passed by his ear. Before the shopkeeper put away the knife, he suddenly heard two muffled sounds, and two crossbow arrows shot in from the window, separating Shangguan Xiu's temples and neck.

At the same time, there was a crisp bang above everyone's heads, and the roof of the box was shaken open a big hole, and a spiritual cultivator jumped in from the roof.

Shangguan Xiu sneered, and when the two crossbow arrows flew in front of him, he only waved his hand slightly, and a strong wind was born, turning into an invisible wall of wind in front of him. The two bolts were nailed to the wall of wind, paused in the air, and could not be shot.

Shangguan Xiu raised his hand and grabbed the two crossbow arrows in his hand, and at this time, the knife that was cut from his head also arrived. Shangguan Xiu raised his hand and forcibly connected the opponent's blade, and a click was heard in the ear chakra, and the edge of the spirit knife was slashing at his tiger's mouth and palm, bursting out a ball of sparks. : Black ||Rock | |ι–£ε³ε―ε…θ΄Ήθ²»η„‘ε½ˆηͺ—θ§€ηœ‹

Looking closely at his palm, I don't know when there was an extra layer of metal gloves. The other party was shocked, and before he could react, Shangguan Xiu stabbed forward with the two crossbow arrows he was holding in his other hand, poof, and the two crossbow arrows were inserted along the eye socket of the opponent's spirit armor.

The strength was so great that nearly half of the arrows didn't enter the opponent's head.

Damn, there are assassins! Nie Zhen, who blocked the other party's drink with his sleeve, roared, and got up, and the shopkeeper who attacked Shangguan Xiu with a knife didn't have time to rush out the second knife, Nie Zhen grabbed his belt, picked it up and threw it to the ground.

Syllable. The shopkeeper's body was like a puddle of mud, he was thrown to the ground, his eyes were scattered, his mind was blurred, and he couldn't stand up. On the other side, the four of them, the purple-clothed Lingjiang Leopard and Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei broke through the window almost in no particular order and jumped out of the restaurant.

The four of them crossed the street and jumped onto the roof of the opposite house, and then the sound of a fight rang out. Nie Zhen stepped on the shopkeeper who was lying on the ground with his foot, turned around and asked nervously: Ah Xiu, how are you?

Shangguan Xiu smiled lightly, stood up, and said disapplausively: How can such a young person hurt me?

As soon as he finished speaking, the head of the restaurant and several men hurriedly ran in, and when they saw the situation in the box, everyone was dumbfounded, not understanding what was going on.

Nie Zhen stretched out his hand, grabbed the collar of the coat in charge, and shouted: You are so bold, you dare to harbor assassins in the restaurant, waiting for the opportunity to assassinate Lord Shangguan, I want your head! As he spoke, he pulled out the saber with his other hand.

When the person in charge heard the words, he was so frightened that his soul was scattered, his legs were weak, white and white, and he trembled, and waved his hand again and again and said: Nie Ye, misunderstanding, misunderstanding, what kind of villain is it, Nie Ye, don't you know, even if you borrow ten guts from the villain, the villain will not dare to harbor the assassin and assassinate Lord Shangguan, Nie Ye, the villain is wronged

Are you saying that the master is framing you? Nie Zhen's eyebrows were erected, and the sword in his hand was raised high, threatening to chop it off. Shangguan Xiu walked up to him, patted him on the arm, and said: Ah Zhen, this matter will be investigated by the Lieutenant's Mansion, isn't this already caught, and you will know in the first trial.

Nie Zhen gasped twice, glared at the commander fiercely, and said in a cold voice: Count your kid's life, if it weren't for Lord Shangguan's intercession for you, the master would have slashed you with a sword right now!

The window that was originally knocked out of the hole was completely shattered, and two black-clothed masked men fell in from the outside, and then, the purple-clothed Lingjiang leopard, Xiao Jue, and Wu Yufei rushed back from the window one after another, and the four looked at Shangguan Xiu, Xiao Jue arched his hand and said: Brother Xiu, caught the two assassins on the opposite roof, and no assassins' accomplices were found nearby.

Well. Shangguan Xiu nodded and glanced down. Xiao Jue squatted down and ripped off the black cloth covering the faces of the two assassins, both of whom were about thirty years old and bearded. The two of them had blood in their mouths and noses, their chests collapsed, and they didn't know how many ribs they had been broken.

One of the black-clothed men slowly raised his head, his facial features were distorted, his face was hideous, and he glared at Shangguan Xiu's eyes with a poisonous light, and said through gritted teeth: "The demon girl lackey, mutilating the loyal and good, causing chaos in the sky, and the heavens are intolerable, and all my great wind and ambition will swear to death! Today you have a great life, but sooner or later, someone will come to take your dog's head on our behalf, haha."

Bold! When death is imminent, you still dare to speak wildly! Xiao Jue roared angrily, and kicked his leg on the man in black's chin, pop, the man in black's body was close to the ground, sliding far away, his jawbone was almost kicked to pieces, and the blood flowed like an infusion.

Shangguan Xiu narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath, put his hands behind his back, didn't say anything, and walked out.

Zi Yiling and the others looked at each other, all of them had ugly faces, and followed Shangguan Xiulou. It was a good party, but it was ruined by this group of assassins, and it was swept up in Yaxing.

As soon as they reached the building, the officers and soldiers of the lieutenant's mansion arrived, and when they saw Shangguan Xiu and the others, the leader of the team broke into a cold sweat. It's not good for assassins to assassinate anyone, how did they provoke such a group of masters. Purple-clothed Ling, Nie Zhenjiang, and Leopard are all marquises, and they all have the official position of the commander of the legion, needless to say, Shangguan Xiu, the commander of the Zhenjun Army, has just been canonized as a duke today, and the future of the National Palace of the Wind Country. It didn't take long for the general capital of the Lieutenant's Mansion to arrive.

Hua Ning was born in the Eldest Princess's Mansion, she used to be a female official next to Tang Ling, and she was also her cronies, after Tang Ling ascended the throne, those staff members at the Eldest Princess's Mansion also followed the chicken dog to heaven, and Hua Ning was one of them.

After hearing the ins and outs of the matter, Hua Ning was secretly frightened, hurriedly walked to Shangguan Xiu Ziyiling and the others, bowed her hands, and said respectfully: The appearance of assassins in the capital frightened your lords, which is really a dereliction of duty

Before she finished speaking, Nie Zhen had already snorted coldly, and said in a deep voice: Of course it is your dereliction of duty, the feet of the Son of Heaven, in broad daylight, assassins are rampant, what are you lieutenants doing in the Lieutenant's Mansion for food?

Hua Ning was reprimanded by him, her face turned red and white, she bowed down, her eyes lowered, and she didn't straighten up for a long time. The Lieutenant's Mansion is responsible for maintaining law and order in the capital, and the responsibility for the presence of assassins in the capital is, of course, the Lieutenant's Mansion.

However, the Lieutenant's Mansion is not a small organization, it is directly loyal to the emperor, as the general commander of the Lieutenant's Mansion, Hua Ning's rank is almost the same as Nie Zhen, but in terms of title, Nie Zhen is a cut above her. Moreover, don't look at them as Tang Ling's people, and they were pulled up by Tang Ling, but there are essential differences. Nie Zhen is a traditional aristocratic gatekeeper, and Hua Ning is a guest of the Eldest Princess's Mansion, the difference between the starting points of the two of them is too big, and in his heart, Nie Zhen also looks down on Hua Ning in his bones.

Shangguan Xiu stepped forward and said: Lord Hua doesn't have to blame himself, the huge Shangjing, with so many assassins mixed in, no one can prevent it. Now that three assassins have been captured, they are upstairs, and I hope that Lord Hua can interrogate them clearly and give me an explanation.

Hua Ning hurriedly said: Yes, Lord Shangguan, the official will definitely do his best to investigate this case.

Leave. Shangguan Xiu didn't say anything more, and walked over from Hua Ning's side. Hua Ning hurriedly turned around, bowed her hand, and said, "Congratulations to Lord Shangguan."

Nie Zhen quickly caught up with Shangguan Xiu, and shouted indignantly: Ah Xiu, you are too easy to talk, such a big thing happened, how could you let her and the Lieutenant's Mansion go so easily? He didn't deliberately lower his voice, and Hua Ning not far away could hear it clearly.

What kind of thing is Hua Ning, why is she the general commander of the Lieutenant's Mansion? She was a maid in the Eldest Princess's Mansion back then, relying on her ability to please Her Majesty, and after Her Majesty ascended the throne, she rose to prominence, what ability did she have?

Listening to Nie Zhen's shouting, Hua Ning's eyes darkened, and her face became more and more gloomy. The female entourage on the side stepped forward, looked at Nie Zhen's back, snorted coldly, and said in a low voice: What kind of ability does Nie Zhen have, doesn't he just rely on the background of the scholar clan!

Hua Ning glanced at her, the latter lowered her head, didn't dare to say more, and after a pause, she said cautiously: However, Lord Shangguan is quite easy-going, which is completely different from the rumors.

If you want to say that Shangguan Xiu's current reputation is only good in Zhen County, in other counties, most of the evaluations of him are basically cruel and ruthless, and they exterminate humanity.

Hua Ning's impression of Shangguan Xiu is also very good, but she is reluctant to open her mouth to evaluate, she knows her background very well, and because of this, she has to be cautious in her words and deeds, walking on thin ice.

She turned around, glanced around at her subordinates, and said in a deep voice: "Investigate! Go all out to investigate! For this case, the lieutenant's office must give a satisfactory answer.

Yes, my lord!

Purple Family Courtyard, on the plaque at the main entrance, engraved with two big characters, Purple Garden.

On both sides in front of the gate, there are horse villages, and there are two big stone lions, looking at the courtyard walls on the left and right, the big red courtyard walls are one zhang high.

It is a large mansion with seven entrances and seven exits, covering a vast area, with several courtyard gardens inside, and even the rain corridor is made of rosewood wood and beautifully carved. Most of the furniture inside is made of golden silk nanmu, which is very valuable. Now Shangguan Xiu can understand why Nie Zhen said that the Zi family is rich.

Such an uninhabited courtyard is built so luxuriously, the Zi family is indeed very rich, and it can definitely be called a wealthy family.
