Chapter 56: The Knife and the Knife Hand
At Yong'an Temple, Hokusai Katsukami is preparing to leave. only to see Master Jinghai standing at the door.
"Amitabha, Hokusai benefactor, the little monk is entrusted by others, please ask Hokusai master to drink a cup of tea."
Hokusai was slightly puzzled.
"I don't know who the master said?"
"Amitabha, Hokusai donor, come with me." Shizumi took Hokusai to a side courtyard and said after serving a cup of tea.
"Donor, please use tea. It is a pilgrim who admires the paintings of the donor, please see it. Please wait a while. ”
Hokusai didn't really want to see each other. But she respects Master Jinghai very much. The other party spoke in person, and she still had to give some face. So he sat down and waited.
But waiting and waiting, never waiting for the so-called pilgrim. Hokusai was a little impatient and wanted to leave. But I'm afraid of blowing Master Jinghai's face. I inquired, but I didn't see a single figure.
The whole courtyard was quiet, which made Hokusai have some heart palpitations. After another cup of tea, she felt more and more uneasy in her heart. decided to get up and leave, and confessed to Master Jinghai in the future.
Who knew that as soon as he walked to the door, he saw two people walking in outside the door. The point is that those two people are wearing the flying fish suits of the brocade guard. Hokusai was startled and hurriedly wanted to bypass.
But the two of them happened to block the door, obviously coming for her.
Lu Xiao turned his head to Ling Yunkai and said.
"Stay at the door."
It's an adult, Ling Yunkai was a little excited. Adults bring themselves to meet their lovers. That's obviously thinking of yourself as your own. This door must be guarded. Say nothing that disturbs the interest of adults.
And I didn't expect the adults to like this tune and have a tryst in the temple. It's exciting to think about, and it's strange that I have to like to go to the teaching workshop. It turned out that there was more fun to play, and Ling Yunkai felt that he was too vulgar. It's not at the same level as adults at all.
Lu Xiao didn't know that Ling Yunkai had made up so many plots in his brain. Gently raising his hand, he motioned for Hokusai to go back. Hokusai looked around helplessly, and found that the entire temple was silent, and it seemed that there was no one else at all. In desperation, I had no choice but to go back to the table in the room and sit down.
Lu Xiao followed Hokusai and sat down at the table. Reach out and pick up the tea that is about to cool in front of you, and drink it all.
"The pilgrim that Master Jinghai said is you, a brocade guard? When did Yong'an Temple also become the eyeliner of Jinyiwei. ”
"You've wronged Jinghai. He's the presiding officer, and he's responsible for this monastery, and I've taken a little bit of a handle from him. It's not very big, that is, the kind where the whole temple is in prison. So in order to take care of the overall situation, he had no choice, so he did my eyeliner once. ”
"I don't blame Master Jinghai. I just don't know what I've done, it's worth it for Lord Jinyi Wei Qianhu to come forward to arrest me personally. ”
"Catch you, Miss Hokusai laughed. If I were here to arrest you, this place would have been surrounded by the brocade guards a long time ago. I've only come with two people, not to catch you, just to see you.
"My lord is a Jinyi guard, don't go to arrest those rebellious ministers and rebel against the party, and come to see me?"
"Hehe, the rebellious ministers are against the party, what is the rebellious ministers against the party, the poems of the Donglin Party are mixed with the calligraphy and paintings, and they also mock Father-in-law Wei openly and secretly. You say, is this a chaotic party? ”
Hokusai's face turned pale. Of course she knew that Lu Xiao was talking about herself. I just don't know what it means for this Qianhu of Jinyiwei to find his own handle, but he doesn't take it down. In case she wants her own people......
Lu Xiao knew that she wanted to be crooked when he looked at her expression.
"Miss Hokusai doesn't have to think about it. I have no ill will towards you. I'm just a little curious about something. I've read Hokusai's words before. On the painting, there is a special aroma. ”
This painting lifted Hokusai's heart suddenly.
"I don't understand what adults mean."
"Hehe, it doesn't matter if you understand it or not. The important thing is that after many investigations, I finally determined one thing. The ink used by Hokusai girl is not ordinary. Can you tell me who gave it to you? ”
At this moment, Hokusai really panicked. She even pulled a dagger straight from her bosom. Pierced himself in the heart. She wanted to protect that person, the one who had saved her life. Therefore, she can die, but she must not let Jinyiwei catch that person's handle.
But in front of Lu Xiao, her trick was really too far behind. Although Lu Xiao has had fewer opportunities to make a personal move in recent years. But his kung fu didn't pull down in the slightest.
And over the years, with the help of the advantages of identity. He has collected a lot of kung fu cheats in this world. Although I didn't find anything of the level of the internal strength cheats. But there is no doubt that there are still a lot of very practical kung fu in this world.
Lu Xiao has been cultivating diligently in the past few years, and at the current level, Lu Wenzhao and Shen Lian together can't go through five moves under him.
Easily snatched the dagger from Hokusai's hand. Lu Xiao casually put the dagger on the table.
"Don't overthink it. I didn't mean to deal with that person. Actually, I just wanted to pass on a few words through Miss Hokusai. ”
"You are a thousand households in Jinyi, and you still need to pass through me. Sneaky, what kind of brocade guard? ”
"Sneaky?"
"No, you may be mistaken. It's not sneaky, it's just that there are some things that are inconvenient to say publicly. Jinyiwei is the emperor's person, we don't care about the battle between the court, whoever is the emperor, we will be loyal to whom. Your Majesty is alive now, then we are Your Majesty's swords. ”
"Your Majesty's knife, I think you are Wei Zhongxian's knife."
"Hehe, you can say that, too." Unexpectedly, Lu Xiao generously admitted that he was Wei Zhongxian's person.
"I know what you mean, eunuch? I am, the one outside is Wei Zhongxian's nephew, a eunuch who is purer than me. Any questions? ”
"What's the problem, the eunuch party brutalizes the loyalty, oppresses the people, and extorts tyranny, causing the people in the world to live in misery. You still have the face to say that you are a eunuch! Hokusai said righteous and stern words. But Lu Xiao just smiled a little disdainfully.
"So, in your hearts. The world has become like this, is it all the fault of our eunuchs? If I'm not mistaken, Wei Zhongxian has only been in power for eight years. This world is erosive, and it is terrible that there is more than one eight years. ”
Hokusai was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Lu Xiao to refute himself from this angle.
"My father died at the hands of these eunuchs among you, and you are still quibbling here."
"I've never quibbled about what Jinyiwei did. It is also admitted that many decent officials died at our hands. But is that our fault? As I said before, Jinyiwei is a knife. A knife will not hurt itself unless someone holds it. ”
"That's not the same, you are all Wei Zhongxian's knives."
"Hehe, Wei Zhongxian is a knife handle at most. You have to see clearly, who is the person who is actually holding the knife? ”
