Qi Wangfu.

Changshi Wang Gui brought a man wearing a cloak into the main hall.

After the door of the palace was closed, Wang Gui stood guard outside the door and did not allow anyone to walk by.

Inside the house.

Wanjian Mountain, which washed away the dirt and dirt, has a bit of the elegance of a swordsman in the rivers and lakes, he looked at this prince with a smile and said:

"Your Highness has been taking you in for many days, and I am grateful to you, I don't know what Your Highness has to summon you?"

"Mr. Wan, this king has something to ask for."

Qi Wang Zhengse: "You are ranked eighth on this year's Emperor Pavilion master list, and you expect to defeat Ye Hongyi, who is ranked tenth, you should be able to capture it, right?" ”

"Ye Hongyi?" Wan Jianshan was disdainful, "That girl in her early twenties? ”

"Not at all in my eyes."

"But why am I eighth, when I was seventh last year?" Wan Jianshan frowned and asked.

King Qi said: "Because now in the capital, there is a genius, and his guard code was born, tied for fourth with Western Chu Jianshang." ”

"Dianyi, from the Emperor Pavilion?" For this surname, the people in the rivers and lakes are very sensitive, and Wan Jianshan showed a trace of jealousy.

King Qi nodded.

Wan Jianshan said: "Your Highness ordered, I will naturally do my best, but I don't have an identity certificate in the capital, so I can't walk outside." ”

"Sir, don't worry, this king has prepared a new identity for you, and there are absolutely no flaws."

……

"Fang Jue, you have to be careful of King Qi."

In the main house of Fangjiazhuang, the two of them were hot pot, Ye Hongyi said.

"King Qi?" Fang Jue didn't take this person in his eyes, he smiled, "Be careful of what? ”

"King Qi is a small person, and he is the backer in front of He Lou, this time He Louqian happened, and many of the officials who can be used under him have been wiped out."

Ye Hongyi was right: "That Fuzhou, the guard who colluded with He Louqian is the person of King Qi, and after this guy was arrested, he quickly confessed that King Qi was his backer." ”

"Then why, King Qi will be fine?" Fang Jue frowned.

"Of course, it's because King Qi has never done anything to be a traitor through these two people. At most, it is just to liaise with the military, and to lay a future for one's own people in Beijing, and to form a party for personal ......."

Forming a party for personal gain, such a crime is fatal for officials, but it is normal for the prince.

If you don't form a party, how can people compete for the position of the prince?

As long as he doesn't play out the heinous charges, the emperor won't say much about it, or even care about it at all.

"Before we killed He Lou this time, King Qi had no one in the household department, and his hand couldn't reach into the treasury."

"What?" Fang Jue was surprised, "He reached into the treasury, and His Majesty didn't care?" ”

"As the saying goes, three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver...... Reaching out directly to take the money is the stupidest, and pulling a few imperial businessmen to run it for itself through the relationship of the household department is the long-term way. ”

Ye Hongyi immediately told some of the methods that all parties knew.

Fang Jue nodded, indicating that he understood.

When He Louqian was there, King Qi could use his strength to let the merchants under his control do business with the household department, and he could take many large orders.

This kind of business is innocent, and he is not afraid of investigation, which prince does not have this kind of support?

Otherwise, where did so much money come from, and the prince's income was not so high.

Now that He Louqian is gone, the people who are going to tea and cool, King Qi can't play like this anymore, and the household department won't buy it.

Therefore, for King Qi, killing the people in front of He Lou is tantamount to cutting off his financial route, and he will not share the sky.

"King Qi...... Dian Yi, pass the book to the old man, I want to know the whole of King Qi. ”

Fang Jue shouted outside the door, and then he heard it, and left with a burst of footsteps.

He looked at Ye Hongyi again: "This case is your main investigation, King Qi knows that I have a pawn as a guard, so I shouldn't be so braindead as to send someone to kill me." ”

"But you're in danger, and you're always alone in and out, and this habit has to be changed."

Ye Hongyi snorted: "If he dares to touch me, Your Majesty will not spare him, and he will never be able to take the position of prince again." ”

There are also some rules in the capital.

You can open the gun, but you can't hide the arrow, especially the main characters of the three law divisions, who dares to assassinate, the emperor will not give face when he comes, and he must be thoroughly investigated.

"Better be careful...... So, you come with me. ”

As he spoke, Fang Jue pulled up Ye Hongyi with one hand.

"Wait, my duck intestines ......" Ye Hongyi hurriedly stuffed the duck intestines on the chopsticks into his mouth and was pulled away.

When she finished eating, she realized that she was being held by Fang Jue's hand, and she was suddenly nervous.

At this moment of surprise, a secret door on the wall opened, and Fang Jue beckoned, "Come in." ”

"Huh?"

"This ...... Not okay? ”

Ye Hongyi blushed, it was already dinner, and it was getting dark.

Is it warmth......

"You haven't hired yet...... Ye Hongyi muttered, but he still took small steps, lowered his head and followed him into the secret room.

"What did you say?" Fang Jue turned his head and didn't hear clearly.

Ye Hongyi shook his head: "It's nothing ......"

In the secret room, Fang Jue lifted the cloth from one of the walls, revealing the treasures hanging all over the wall.

"This is ......" Ye Hongyi exclaimed, she had seen this thing, but she had never seen such a delicate one.

Fang Jue said: "This is my private collection, it can't be mass-produced for the time being, and it took several years to have these in the Emperor Zun Pavilion...... You pick one and I'll send it to you. ”

"Really?" Ye Hongyi's face was happy.

She shook her head again and said worriedly, "If I accidentally lose it, wouldn't I be an enemy?" ”

Fang Jue laughed: "Even if you lose it, no one can imitate it, and even the Emperor Pavilion can't be mass-produced." ”

"That's the same, hehe, then I picked it?"

Ye Hongyi smiled, and in the "truth" of the wall, he quickly made a choice.

"I want this little ......"

"Okay, I'll give you a box of ammunition, and ask me when I'm done with it." Fang Jue took off the small one.

Fang Jue handed it to her: "Will it be used?" ”

"Didn't you teach me how to use a musket?"

"This thing is not the same as a musket, it doesn't need to be ignited, it's more accurate and simple, you just need to open the safety ...... This is it...... Then load, wipe here, and shoot the same with the musket. ”

"How's it powering?"

Fang Jue said: "Seven steps away, it's faster than a flying knife." ”

"Within seven steps?" Ye Hongyi asked with a smile.

"Not only is it faster than a flying knife, but it is also more accurate than a flying knife."

……

It's night.

Ye Hongyi left Fangjiazhuang alone, and left a little late today.

Don't get me wrong, it's because you have to be familiar with the new weapon, and after trying it a few times in the secret room of Fangjiazhuang, it will be delayed.

Luckily, the gates won't be closed until it's dark.

Riding into the city, under the attention of the soldiers defending the city, Ye Hongyi headed towards the Hanging Sword Division's mansion.

"What are you looking at, that's Lord Ye of the Hanging Sword Division, the confidante of the young master, you dare to see more, not afraid of being poked blind?" One of the soldiers slapped his companion on the face.

The soldier smiled: "I'm just amazed, there is such a woman in the world, and only Lord Ye is worthy of being a young master." ”

"Isn't that?"

Enter Jinling from the south city gate, and you have to go to the Hanging Sword Division, and you have to go through Suzaku Street.

At night, there is no one on the main street, and it stands to reason that the curfew in Jinling is not strict, and there should be people setting up stalls at night.

However, the four main streets are to clean the streets to prevent thieves from escaping at night and blending into the crowd.

But not really, not a single one.

"Da Da ......" The horse's hooves knocked on the stone floor, and Ye Hongyi smelled something wrong.

There are also crows and magpies and poultry in Jinling City, but tonight it is quiet, as if no one dares to make a sound.

Animals are more alert to danger than humans.

In the past, when he passed by, the dog had to shout twice, but Ye Hongyi caught a glimpse of the dog of the old Hu family at the mouth of the alley, lying in place without saying a word.

The sky was completely dark, and only the torch in Ye Hongyi's hand remained, which was still bright.

"Whoa—"

There was a sound of breaking the air, Ye Hongyi hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and hid in the alley next to him.

The torch was thrown away by her, but the warrior's eyesight made Ye Hongyi see clearly.

The horse was hit by several arrows, but it was too late to scream, and one arrow was shot into the horse's brain and died.

"Who?"

Ye Hongyi hid in the dark, looking at the streets and alleys and the upstairs next to him, there were assassins with stabs.

It's not even a bow, it's a donkey that has long been ready to go, because a master like her, the sound of pulling a bow at close range will be heard by her.

The other party even noticed such details, which shows that there are masters.

"I'm the sword envoy Ye Hongyi who is in charge of the Hanging Sword Division, which military bigwig wants to kill me?" Ye Hongyi said coldly.

If you can take out the donkey, you are definitely a person from the military, and a private person can directly be judged as a rebellion.

A rush of footsteps faded away.

"Gone?"

Ye Hongyi was puzzled, why did they want to escape, they carried bows and crossbows, and they had the upper hand.

But at this moment, a white robe floated in and flew diagonally from the upper floor to the main street.

Wan Jian Shan flicked his forehead, and the long hair that floated to block his vision and tied it to his left ear.

The sword in his hand pointed at Ye Hongyi: "Tenth on the master list?" ”

Seeing this, Ye Hongyi also saw the outline of this person's cheeks in the dark:

"Ten Thousand Swords Mountain?"

"Eighth on the list of masters, sixth on the list of villains!"

Ye Hongyi joked: "I didn't expect you to hide in Jinling, the next time I see Commander Mo, I will taunt him." The person on the list of wicked people can actually get away with it in the capital, it seems that he is slacking. ”

"Did the King of Qi send you to kill me?" Ye Hongyi asked directly.

"He actually has a strong crossbow in his hand, and he colludes with a scum like you, it seems that the plan is very big."

Wan Jian Shan swung his sword a few times, warmed up, and said lightly: "You can't be spared tonight, no matter how much you know, it's useless." ”

Let's take up the sword and kill.
