Chapter 15: South and North Junchen!
Grunt~
The sun was setting over the hill, and outside the woods behind the temple, the Night Terror Hall was pushing a wheelchair slowly, and the two guards who followed behind were chatting in a low voice:
"In the past, the people in the rivers and lakes privately said that the master was 'undefeated in the ring and invincible in actual combat', but now that this matter has come out, I'm afraid no one dares to say so......"
"Yes, I didn't expect the old man to be friendly to people on weekdays, and he really started to do it, so decisive......
……
In front, Hua Qingzhi sat in a wheelchair, the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on her slightly immature cheeks, reflecting her fair face red, and she wanted to look back and speak several times, but in the end she gave up.
After Night Terror left the scene of the crime, he could actually see that something was wrong with Hua Qingzhi.
Hua Qingzhi is a young lady from a scholarly family, she has not been out of the door since she was a child, and she attaches far more importance to her name than a woman in the rivers and lakes, and even if she is a woman in the rivers and lakes, if she accidentally touches it, she will have to be red for a long time, not to mention Hua Qingzhi.
Night Terror Hall was afraid that Hua Qingzhi would be the same as those scholarly women, so she couldn't think about it when she went back, so she quietly pushed the wheelchair faster, pulled away a little distance, and bowed slightly:
"Beware of that eunuch just now, I was a little careless, well......"
Hua Qingzhi knew that the Night Terror Hall was unintentional, after all, the Night Terror Hall really wanted to take advantage, and there was such a huge disparity in strength between them, so they could come openly, and there was no need to use this kind of small means to become a disciple. She replied softly:
"It's okay, it's just an accident, I didn't take it to heart. Anyway, you secretly engraved that line just now, right? People are none other than Qinghe, and they ......"
Night Terror Hall felt that Hua Qingzhi was really smart, and bowed slightly:
"They should be waiting for me, I'll go see if they're hurt."
The painting that Hua Qingzhi helped paint was not finished yet, and she didn't say anything at the moment, and ordered:
"Hua'an, you go to the carriage and help me pick up a shawl."
Seeing this, Night Terror Tang let go of the wheelchair, let the green beads that caught up push it, and watched Hua Qingzhi leave, but saw Hua Qingzhi walk out, turned his head back, and found that he was watching, and hurriedly turned back, making the appearance of looking at the scenery.
Night Terror shook his head secretly, without further delay, and quickly came to the venue where the carriage and horses were stopped.
The sky was getting dark, and most of the people who came to offer incense returned to the city, because there was an official messenger beside the mountain forest to impose martial law, and the coachman ran to the distance and waited, whispering to ask what was going on in the mountain forest.
Night Terror Hall came to the carriage and looked at it, but found no trace of the two, looked left and right, and found a hairy white head under the eaves of the temple, which was aimed at him.
Seeing this, the Night Terror Hall took the shawl from the carriage, jumped into the temple without moving, followed the pilgrims' temporary house, came to a vacant room near the bird, and after making sure that there was no one around, he knocked lightly on the door.
Knock knock~
The rooms in the temple are relatively simple in furnishings, just a bed, a table and chairs.
At this time, Fan Qinghe was still wearing black clothes, but the face towel was pulled down and hung around his neck, his full buttocks were pillowed on a round stool, and he was sitting on his side on the board bed, holding a silver needle in his hand, and he was doing acupuncture.
And Yun Li, who had made a lot of effort just now, because he accidentally received two injections and was poisoned, although he was not afraid of practicing the bath fire diagram, but the process of poisoning the hair and then removing the poison could not be avoided, at this time he was in the stage of poison hair, his cheeks were red and fluttering, and he looked a little listless lying on the bed
The black tunic originally worn and the chivalrous skirt inside had been untied, and the cyan belly pocket embroidered with birds and birds was lifted up a little, showing the fair-skinned southern hemisphere that was already on some scale, and the perfect waist and abdomen with a vest line, and there was a bruise mark on the waist.
Luo Ning was not there, Fan Qinghe obviously played the position of the old lady at this time, her eyes were full of distress, she helped Xiao Yunli to prick the needle to suppress the toxicity, and when she heard the sound of knocking on the window, she quickly stopped her movements, covered her body with her body, and said in a low voice:
"I'm sticking a needle, don't come in."
Night Terror Hall heard that Yunli's breath was not very stable, and he was already preparing to go in, and he was reminded to stop again, and said through the window:
"Is she alright?"
Zhe Yunli was dizzy from being poisoned, and when she heard the movement outside the window, she came back to her senses and tilted her head and said:
"Shocking cousin, I'm fine, I just solved the five monsters of Snake Peak, single-handedly, I didn't let Aunt Fan help, but I forgot to engrave in the end......"
Judging from the breath, Night Terror Hall should have only been poisoned and there was no major problem, so he breathed a sigh of relief and responded:
"Don't worry, I've already made up the words, how did you get poisoned? Those five monsters are very powerful? ”
"No, it was foolproof, but that bandit leader was too shameless, kowtowed and begged for mercy, put a hidden weapon from behind, and ...... me for a while"
Seeing this, Fan Qinghe interjected:
"Don't be careless in the future. Last time, your cousin reminded you that you can treat your opponent as a chivalrous man verbally, but you must be a villain in your heart......"
Zhe Yunli was a little helpless: "Kneel down and kowtow and beg for mercy, if I don't say a word, regardless of cutting it directly, it will be undignified, who would have expected the Beiliang barbarians to be so shameless." Shocking cousin, have you ever suffered this kind of loss? ”
Night Terror Hall is very experienced in this:
"When you fight with people, you have to be particular about stopping. If I'm not going to kill, I won't hit the hole. If you are ready to kill someone, you can either solve it directly with a knife, so that the other party has no chance to beg for mercy; Either the technique is more precise, picking the heart and arteries.
In this way, the other party did not seem to be seriously injured at that time, and he could speak, but he was sure to die. I put away my knife and stopped to accompany him to fight with him, not only a little chivalrous demeanor, but also not a soft heart. ”
Zheyunli suddenly realized, and gently bowed his head:
"It's still shocking that my cousin can pretend to be and learn."
“……?”
Night Terror opened his mouth, and when it was a compliment, he shook his head and smiled to divert the topic:
"Just now in the woods, I met the twelve attendants, coming from the side of Bishui Forest, I guess Bishui Lin is really weird, I'll go over and take a look later......"
When Zhi Yunli heard this, she suddenly came to her senses:
"I found out today that there is a problem with the timber transported to the Queen Mother's garden, and I will go with you."
Fan Qinghe really admired Xiao Yunli's insight, but when she also scored points, she said solemnly:
"You just got injured, and the poison hasn't been cured, what are you going to do?"
Zhe Yunli wanted to sit up: "I'm fine, I'll be done later." ”
"Lie down!"
Night Terror Hall knew that Xiao Yunli wanted to accumulate experience in the rivers and lakes, and said softly:
"It's just to go and see the situation, and it's just a while, you recuperate first, and we'll be together next time we fight."
"Yes, he is so good at light work, and you can't keep up, take care of your body, and go next time. If you don't obey again, I'll sue your master when I go back. ”
Zhe Yunli was a little stunned when she saw this, but in the end, she bowed her head slightly, lay down honestly, and let Fan Qinghe continue to prick the needle.
The night terror hall could not enter the house, for fear of bumping into the monks and pilgrims, and it was not good to stand at the door all the time, and after two more admonitions, he quietly left and returned to the outside of the courtyard wall.
And under the eaves, there was a sentry bird, which also fell down at this time, standing directly on the shoulders of the Night Terror Hall, and raised its big claws as if offering treasures:
"Tsk~"
Night Terror Hall was about to touch the bird, but when he raised his eyes, he saw a black snake two fingers thick, which was caught by the bird and almost hit him in the face, so shocked that his shoulders trembled, and he hurriedly caught the little broken bird:
"Where did you get it? What to do if it bites you? ”
"Huh?"
The bird is a little inexplicable - after all, it is a bird of prey, specializing in killing snakes and rats, and the things on the recipe are poisonous or not, and it doesn't know better than people?
Night Terror Hall took a closer look and saw that it was a non-venomous snake, so he breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing the appearance of the bird offering treasure, he knew that the bird wanted him to help grill and eat the skewers, he shook his head and said:
"This is a temple, it's not appropriate to kill, first put a good sentry, buy you a rabbit head to eat at night, there is a shop next to Guozijian, the taste is particularly fragrant."
"Tsk!"
When the bird heard this, he was no longer interested in the little broken snake that could not eat enough, and immediately grabbed it and flew to the side, threw it into the grass with one claw, and coldly "Tsk! "Yes.
Night Terror shook his head secretly, and did not disturb the birds, and walked quickly to the lawn where he sketched with his shawl.
The sun went down the mountain, and the tourists who watched the sunset here were gone, leaving only a picture of the painting left alone in place, Hua Qingzhi, dressed as a female student, sat in a wheelchair and carefully painted the picture.
Seeing that it was almost dark after a delay, I thought that Hua Qingzhi would not be able to draw it, but when I walked to him, I found that Hua Qingzhi had just painted a portrait of him, and it took half an hour to estimate it, and he helped Wang Daming draw a treasure map, and when he left, he was almost finished, and he painted a whole volume.
The Night Terror Hall came to him, and he was immediately shocked:
"Wow! Draw so fast? ”
Hua Qingzhi put down the paintbrush, took the private seal from Lu Zhu's hand and sighed, and stamped it in the corner of the spring scene:
"Wang Guifei's writing and ink are not brilliant, and in the end, it is estimated that she will only hang on the wall and eat ashes, so there is no need to waste too much thought......"
Night Terror Hall looked at the lifelike picture scroll, even my young child playing on the lawn just now was painted in it, although it belongs to the freehand school, the brushwork is concise and the picture is hazy, but it can feel the demeanor of each villain in a few simple strokes, and I don't feel that this is a casual painting in my heart:
"Miss is too humble, just this painting skill, I can't catch up in my life."
Hua Qingzhi felt that the night terror hall was amazed from the bottom of her heart, and she was a little proud in her eyes, and picked up the picture scroll:
"Wang Jiming has to enter the palace to greet the concubine a long time ago, Huaning, you send this painting back to the city first."
The Night Terror Hall was just about to enter the city and connect with the Blue Dragon Society, so he naturally volunteered to take over the picture scroll at the moment:
"I'll deliver it."
Hua Qingzhi naturally did not refuse this, and after informing Wang Jiwen of the location of the mansion, she watched the Night Terror Hall leave quickly.
Pedal Pedal Pedal ~
And after the night terror hall walked away, Hua Qingzhi's face showed strange again, raised her hand and touched her cheek, took a carefully embellished portrait from the side of the painting case, and unfolded it to look at it.
Lu Zhu was lying on the back of the wheelchair, looking at the merry boy with heroic spirit in his bones on the picture scroll, and his eyes were full of love:
"This painting is so good, why didn't you show it to Hua'an just now?"
“……”
Hua Qingzhi painted this painting in preparation for the Night Terror Hall to leave in the future, and it would be difficult for each other to reunite again, so she hung it in the house as a souvenir, so she put so much effort into almost everything that was currently in the Night Terror Hall into the picture scroll.
After carefully observing a few times, Hua Qingzhi picked up the pen and added a line of small words to the blank space of the scroll:
The south and the north are slim, so why bother asking about Tibet.
At this time, I am only afraid that the king will return, and it will be separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.
……
——
Back in the city, it was already night.
Night Terror Hall dressed as an ordinary guard, holding a painting scroll in his hand, after coming to Dongcheng, he did not immediately run to the Bell Tower Street, where the princes and princes gathered, but first came to the vicinity of Chunmanlou.
After nightfall, the prosperity of Suijin Street has just begun, many night venues have opened their doors, and the street lights are full of red wine and green warblers and swallows, and you can see the princes and nobles wandering everywhere.
Night Terror Hall came not to drink flower wine, naturally did not pay attention to the delicate and lovely beauty upstairs, first came to the back alley, when passing by the famous buildings, you can still hear the chatter in the building:
"It is said that the scene is tragic, all five people were divided, and the follow-up light fight was fought for a long time, and there are still a few pieces that cannot be found, the father-in-law of the head of the twelve institutes, personally confirmed that it was Hua Junchen Hua Daxia's hand,......"
"Tsk, this method is really brutal...... No, killing the rivers and lakes should be vigorous and resolute......"
"It is said that the people who are so ruthless in the north and south rivers and lakes seem to be the only night devil of the Southern Dynasty, and after killing people and collecting corpses, it is said that they can only use a shovel. This Hua Junchen Hua Daxia, in my opinion, does not accept much, I am afraid that he deserves the name of 'South Surprise Hall and North Junchen'......"
"Alas, this is too much, Hua Daxia has the current record, where can he catch this name......
"Hua Daxia's swordsmanship is already among the best in Chengtian Mansion, and now that he has a record in the rivers and lakes, it should be no problem to call it 'Chengtian's first sword'......"
……
Night Terror Hall passed by the alley, and when he heard that all the idlers were slandering Uncle Hua, his heart was really a little distressed.
But public opinion is not in his basic plate, he can't control it at all, and he can only temporarily wronged Uncle Hua to carry the black pot.
After walking for a while, Night Terror Hall found that there were breath fluctuations in the dark part of the back alley of Chunmanlou, and immediately jumped up, came to the back of the wall like last time, and tapped through the wall.
Knock knock~
On the other side of the wall, Lao Liu, the hall master of the Blue Dragon Society, was quietly leaning against the wall, with a bookcase at his feet, and he was actually listening to the trivial chatter around him.
There was movement behind the wall, and Lao Liu knew that the killer had come back to make a difference, tilted his head slightly, and asked hoarsely:
"Your Excellency is Hua Junchen Hua Daxia of Chengtian Mansion?"
?
Night Terror was stunned for a moment, fell silent for a moment, and asked ambiguously:
"Why did Senior Liu say this?"
As soon as these words came out, Lao Liu, who had been a connector for more than ten years, was directly silent.
When Hua Junchen was in his hometown, the target customer of the nearby dock died.
Yesterday, Hua Junchen was drinking in Chunmanlou, and the target customer died.
Today, Hua Junchen was wandering around Xixia Temple, and the target customer died again.
Hua Junchen's martial arts are probably in line with the strength of the killer, and even the style of specializing in killing thieves, not caring about silver, and wanting to pass on the famous sword are all in line with Hua Junchen's identity and character.
Now the gentlemen behind the wall know that the person was killed by Hua Junchen, can the Qinglong Society be fucking unknown?
After Lao Liu was speechless for a long time, he said:
"The Green Dragon Society never asks where it comes from, even if it knows, it will be tight-lipped, and there has never been a killer in the rivers and lakes who has been betrayed by the Blue Dragon Society, you can rest assured of this.
"I say this just to remind you that the assassin whose true identity is known to everyone is the most failed assassin in the world, after all, wherever you go, someone will guard against you, and may even strike first.
"And if you really see the light, even if you inquire about the way to enter the palace, it is not good to get that treasure knife."
Night Terror felt that his identity as a killer was well hidden, but he still nodded to this advice:
"Teachable. I'll be careful in the future. ”
Lao Liu, out of professional cultivation, although Night Terror Hall did not admit or deny it, he no longer pursued the root cause, took out the silver ticket from the bookcase and threw it over the wall:
"This is a silver reward, and the gang will pump two percent of water according to the rules to maintain the operation of the gang, and you will get four thousand taels."
Night Terror Hall knew that the dry platform would definitely be pumped, and the underworld business only took 20% to be honest, so he didn't say much at the moment, and threw the silver back:
"But are there any other errands?"
When Lao Liu heard this, he was helpless:
"Send errands in the morning and kill people at night, and one in a row, even if Qinglong will have so many errands, I can't let you kill like this; According to your killing method, within three or five days, the imperial court will be eyeing the Blue Dragon Society......"
To this, the Night Terror Hall said:
"The people who kill are all wanted criminals, and the court enjoys it, so it shouldn't be asked......"
"The tree is a big wind, the court doesn't ask, and the rivers and lakes in the east of the lake will also fry; No one knows if someone has bought the murderer in the Blue Dragon Society, if everyone in the rivers and lakes is in danger, the best solution is to destroy the Blue Dragon Society and solve the assassins from the source. If it is surrounded and suppressed by the entire rivers and lakes, the Blue Dragon Society will not be able to bear it.
"You take a break for a while, and Qinglong will help you continue to investigate, and you can make up for it later."
Seeing that he was too quick to do things, he was afraid of killing all the Blue Dragon Society, and forced him to take a vacation, and it was not good to ask for any more errands, so he nodded and said:
"That's fine. If there are other errands that don't kill people, they can also be arranged, and I am idle when I am idle, and I will do it when I meet it. ”
The Blue Dragon Society is a professional killer organization, but it also accepts businesses such as spying on intelligence and stealing heavy treasures, otherwise it can't afford to raise such a big gang just by killing people, and when I heard this, I pondered:
"There has been a movement in the imperial court recently, it seems that it is refining the elixir, and there are many people who inquire about this kind of news on the rivers and lakes, and the price given is also high. If you can get useful news, Qinglong will pay for it, and the price depends on the weight of the news. ”
Night Terror Hall bowed slightly, didn't say much, and asked:
"With the news, how do you connect with Liu Lao?"
"If you want to see me, put a brick here in the afternoon, and I will appear in an hour. Leave. ”
"Goodbye."
……
——
The other side.
Bell Tower Street, Prince's Mansion.
Outside the brightly lit water pavilion in the back house of the prince's mansion, the guards bowed down and stood quietly outside the door, and reported seriously:
"I went to the scene to see it, all five of them were divided, Hua Junchen was covered in blood, although the tree was engraved with the name of the Blue Dragon Society, but Gonggong Xu's eyes were like torches, and he still saw the truth......"
……
In the richly decorated water pavilion, the maid is warming a pot of wine.
Li Chong, the third prince in regular clothes, sat on the soft couch on the terrace, holding a wine glass in his hand, looking at the moonlight over the imperial city.
Wang Jiwen slapped his palm with a folding fan in his hand, walked around in front of him, and waited for the guards to report before he couldn't figure it out:
"Hua Junchen obviously met Li Guangxian in the house today, why did he run to Xixia Temple again inexplicably? It was not easy for me to lay out the layout, and I led Hua Qingzhi and the five monsters of Snake Peak to the outside of the city......"
Li Chong was not surprised at all by this kind of ending, after all, the cousin in front of him has always done things like this, between smart and unintelligent, it can be called 'mostly smart', and he is still half a step away from being shrewd and capable.
"The Hua family is a famous family, you can do it in secret, how could the Hua family not expect that someone would calculate in secret, Hua Junchen's purpose here should be to protect his daughter, go out on an outing and follow, it is reasonable."
"Alas......"
Wang Jiwen sat down next to him: "That's it, anyway, it's just a few wanted criminals who died, so it should be taken as a harm to the people." You still have thieves who have entered Beijing, you can lead them over......"
The three princes were speechless, put down their wine glasses and turned around:
"There are more than 12 wanted thieves. But according to your cousin, you will find the thief regardless of manpower and material resources, and let Hua Junchen 'eliminate harm for the people', not to mention whether the guards you arranged can kidnap Hua Qingzhi, it will not take ten days and a half months, Hua Junchen should fill the vacancy of the top ten grandmasters, and he will be ranked as a sword saint. Where the hell are you from? ”
When Wang Jiwen heard this, he was not happy:
"I'm your cousin, can I be over there? Am I paving the way for you to follow? It is said in the book of war that victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and a saint must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts......"
The third prince raised his hand slightly and interrupted his cousin's words:
"I don't blame you, it's just a discussion. Unless you break Hua Junchen away, the guards you arrange will have no chance of heroically saving the United States. ”
Wang Jiwen also knew this, and thought about it slightly:
"Why don't I let my father be the east, call a few more celebrities, and invite Hua Junchen to the mansion for dinner?"
The third prince said to this: "Uncle and Hua Junchen both grew up in Chengtian Mansion, one lives in the east of the city and the other lives in the west of the city, and they didn't do much when they were young. Now that my uncle is an uncle of the country, an official worships the servant of the Ministry of Officials, and has always looked down on Hua Junchen who is not doing his job, you ask your uncle to invite Hua Junchen to drink, this unknown weasel gives chickens...... Ahem, it's not appropriate. ”
Wang Jiwen knew that his father and Hua Junchen had a bad relationship, so he thought about it and said:
"This is simple, Li Guogong is as good as his life, and he likes the night white head in the palace the most; Auntie seems to have two altars, you go into the palace to get an altar and come out to send my father, and then I will secretly tell Li Guogong the news, with Li Guogong's temperament, he will definitely find a name to set up a banquet and invite my father to sit down.
"Li Guogong has a good relationship with Mrs. Hua, the relationship between the Hua family and the Wang family, and my father eats and drinks, knowing that Hua Junchen is not called in the city, it is easy to make people feel too much, and he will definitely place an invitation. And Hua Junchen is not good not to give Li Guogong face......"
The third prince thought about it, and felt that this move of 'taking his father as a son' was indeed very good, and nodded and said:
"Yes. But what if Hua Qingzhi also followed when the time came? ”
Wang Jiwen waved his hand and said: "Elder wine bureau, what did she do with a young lady in the past?" You look for it again in the next two days, see if there are any decent bandits in the capital, and wait for the day of the wine bureau to determine the location of Hua Qingzhi, and then drive the tiger and the wolf......"
While the two were discussing like this, there was a sudden sound outside the water pavilion, and a guard reported:
"Your Highness, there is a guard from Wanbaolou who sent a painting over, saying that it is for Wang Gongzi."
Wang Jiwen didn't expect this incident, Hua Qingzhi could still finish the painting, and said:
"Bring it in. This Senior Sister Hua is very kind, let's sit here and lay out the calculating people, it really sounds a bit of a sinister villain......"
?
Li Chong opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to evaluate it, so he simply stopped saying it in the end......
