After dinner, Long Zixi had a good rest for a while.

When he touched it, he re-glued his beard, changed into a black dress, and went to hide near the drugstore.

At this time, the lights of every house have long been turned off, there is no moon, only a little starlight, and the street is even more deadly silent.

Long Zixi held his breath and stared at the door of the pharmacy.

After a while, a dark shadow came out of the shop.

Long Zixi counted them, and there were thirty of them.

All of them were dressed in tight clothes, masked in black scarves, and galloped away with vigorous gait.

Long Zixi couldn't tell whether it was Yin Qiu and his gang, so he didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly followed quietly.

The men jumped and sneaked, and in a moment they came to a large house.

The group jumped up the wall and into the courtyard.

Long Zixi also jumped on the wall, but saw that those black-clothed people were lurking all over the courtyard.

There was a house in the courtyard, and there were four figures in front of the house, apparently standing guard, but not so many people were found in the courtyard.

Long Zixi couldn't help but secretly admire these black-clothed people.

But I thought: Look at this courtyard is quite gorgeous, then Ji Gang has never such a big belongings, who lives here?

Just thinking about it, I saw that a few of those men in black quietly touched the side of the four guards, and suddenly stabbed the four guards to death, and the technique was quite neat.

Rao was like this, or he alarmed the house, so he heard one person stop drinking:

"Someone!"

The door was kicked open, and seven or eight figures jumped out.

The lurking man in black rushed up, only to hear the sound of the collision of weapons in ping-pong, and the two sides had already fought in one place.

In the middle of the fight, there were already black shadows running from all directions, carrying torches, and joined the battle group.

I heard one man shouting:

"The third and fourth, you bring a few people to protect the adults!"

When Long Zixi heard this, he said in his heart:

"The four brothers of the Fang family are here, and the person in the house must be the Tu Da. Naturally, the person who attacked would not be Yin Qiu, so who was it? ”

At that moment, I saw that in the light of the torches, two figures waved and led more than a dozen people into the room, escorting the Tu Master out.

The other party tried their best to rush forward, but the guards stood up and stopped in front, and the fight was very fierce.

Long Zixi had already seen that although there were many guards, all the assassins were strong in martial arts, and some of the guards were constantly injured and fell, and the four brothers of the Fang family wanted to protect the adult from the dangerous place, but they couldn't for a while.

In the middle of the fight, he suddenly saw another figure join the battle group.

The man looked to have long flowing hair, he was not young, but he was agile and experienced in kung fu, and he used a crutch-like weapon, and he knocked down several guards one after another with one shot, and he was unstoppable.

The two brothers of the Fang family rushed forward to fight him one by one, but they couldn't stop him.

In the blink of an eye, most of the guards were killed or wounded, plus only seven or eight of the four brothers of the Fang family were left, and there were more than twenty people on the other side.

The four brothers of the Fang family fought and retreated, and their situation became more and more dangerous.

Long Zixi didn't want to make a move, but thinking that the lord seemed to be doing something that was beneficial to the country and the people, hearing what he said just now, he looked like a good official, and thinking that the four brothers of the Fang family were very righteous, so he decided to come to the rescue.

With his mind decided, he jumped down from the wall, shook his long sword, and rushed straight towards the figure with the highest martial arts.

117

The man was killing the four brothers of the Fang family, brandishing his weapon and rushing towards the Tu Lord.

Seeing that the weapon was about to hit the back of the soil man, suddenly a person rushed out of the side, and he had already pushed the soil master away, but he was swept by the wooden crutch and fell down with a scream.

At this time, Long Zixi's long sword had already chased behind the old man.

The old man hurriedly withdrew his crutches, and then turned around and exchanged hands with Long Zixi.

Long Zixi saw that the opponent was fierce, and he was not soft, so he used his housekeeping skills, and his sword pointed directly at the old man's vital point, and after dozens of rounds, he forced the old man to retreat seven or eight steps in a row.

But the old man's martial arts are also self-sufficient, covering left and right, and he can fight back from time to time, Long Zixi can't help him for a while.

The person with the highest martial arts of the enemy was entangled by Long Zixi, and the pressure of the four brothers and three guards of the Fang family was greatly reduced, and with the reinforcements from his own side, his spirit increased greatly, and he was inseparable from the enemy for a while.

In the middle of the fight, more than two dozen figures jumped into the courtyard and rushed straight towards the man in black.

Someone shouted:

"Lord Fang, we are here to protect Lord Tu on the orders of Lord Wei!"

When the Fang brothers heard this, their fighting spirit became even stronger, and the situation between us and the enemy immediately changed greatly.

The old man who fought with Long Zixi saw that Long Zixi's martial arts were strong, and he had already fought for nearly 200 times, and he didn't take advantage of it at all, but he almost missed a few times, and he was definitely not an opponent if he fought again, and the other party had strong reinforcements coming, and his own side suffered more and more casualties, and it was already difficult to win, so he smashed a few turns, let out a long breath, and led the remaining assassins out of the wall.

The four brothers of the Fang family hurriedly escorted the adult into the house, and Long Zixi saw that the earth lord had changed his face in fright.

The two guards carried the man who had saved the Lord into the house, but it turned out to be the Lord Yu.

Fortunately, just in time for Long Zixi to make a move, the enemy must be saved, the old man was in a hurry to retreat, his strength was weak, Lord Yu only injured his left arm, but he was so frightened that he fainted, and he had woken up at this time.

Long Zixi didn't expect that this weak scholar-like Lord Yu had the courage to fly to save people, and he couldn't help but secretly admire.

Boss Fang yelled at Long Zixi:

"Thank you Long Shaoxia for saving me!"

Long Zixi was taken aback and said:

"How does Big Brother Fang know if it's down?"

Brother Fang said:

"We have fought with Shaoxia before, and I am very impressed. And your sword. Besides, how many people in the world can repel such a strong enemy? ”

Long Zixi said in his heart: "This also makes sense. ”

I didn't have time to dwell on my own affairs, and said:

"Brother Fang, it's down there. Let's see if there are any living mouths? ”

The native also said:

"Yes, let's see if there are any alive, and interrogate who stabbed me?"

A few guards carried torches, and the crowd went outside.

The wounded guards were still groaning, while the dozen or so men in black who fell to the ground did not move.

Long Zixi took a torch and looked after them one by one, only to find that they were biting their collars one by one, with black blood flowing from the corners of their mouths, and they had been poisoned to death.

Longzi West Road:

"The one who came was not good. They were apparently well prepared, and if they missed, they committed suicide by poisoning. Naturally, I don't want people to find out any clues. ”

The native is humane:

"Put their bodies away and look at them tomorrow."

Brother Fang said:

"It's important to find a safe place right now."

Tuda Humane:

"Exactly."

As he was talking, he suddenly heard the noise of people outside, and many torches flashed, obviously many people were rushing here, and everyone was startled.

118

Let's say that when everyone saw a large group of people coming, they immediately escorted the Tu Da into the house, and Long Zixi and the three or four brothers of the Fang family guarded the door.

I only heard the sound of the courtyard door, and a group of people poured into the courtyard, and Fourth Brother Fang shouted early:

"Lord Wei!"

Long Zixi looked at it, but it was the official who sat on the left side of the dinner at night, followed by one or two hundred soldiers.

Seeing that the assassin had left, Lord Wei commanded:

"Watch everywhere, search strictly!"

And he ran into the house.

When Lord Nawei saw Lord Tu, he knelt down on the ground and said:

"After the banquet dispersed, Xia Guan immediately went to arrange for the master to come and protect secretly, but he didn't expect the enemy to attack so quickly! The next official is late, I hope to beg for forgiveness! ”

The Lord of the Earth was frightened, and said:

"Lord Wei, please get up. You can't blame you for this, but I didn't expect anyone to know my whereabouts so quickly. It's late tonight, so let's change places and rest and talk tomorrow. ”

Wei Da Dao:

"Then please go to the Xiaguan Mansion, where nothing goes wrong."

Tuda Humane:

"Good. This young man saved me just now, so he asked him to go over, and I still have something to ask him. ”

Everyone protected the Tu Daren and came to the mansion of the Wei Daren, but it was more heavily defended.

Long Zixi did not resign and came with everyone.

Fourth Brother Fang arranged for Long Zixi to stay, and said:

"I'll wait to protect Lord Tu tonight, it's very safe here, Shaoxia has a good rest, and I'll talk to Shaoxia tomorrow."

Longzi West Road:

"Please."

sent away Fourth Brother Fang, but after thinking about it, he didn't know who this Tu Master was, so he fell asleep for a long time.

119

The next day, Third Brother Fang came to see Long Zixi early and was very happy to meet:

"After a long time of farewell to Shaoxia, Shaoxia looks much more mature than a few days ago."

Long Zixi smiled:

"The rivers and lakes are complicated, and people can't help but have more knowledge."

Washing up at the moment, Long Zixi thought that his identity had been revealed, and he didn't need to stick his beard anymore, so he put those things into his baggage and kept them for reuse.

packed up and walked out of the hall, looking energetic, with a table of talents.

Third Brother Fang clapped his hands and nodded frequently.

At that moment, Third Brother Fang led Long Zixi to breakfast, and the other three brothers of the Fang family were waiting there.

Everyone has seen the ceremony, Brother Fang took Long Zixi into the table and said:

"Since the death of Master Du, I have entered the door of this Tu Da again, but I am very concerned about the young man.

"I heard that Yin Jifu fought for some bad young heroes, so I was resentful.

"Also, the child of the Chen guard still didn't escape the poisonous hand in the end, and it was in vain for Lord Du's hard work!"

Fang Sange said:

"Does the young man know? I heard that Yin Jifu is crazy somehow, he really has eyes in the sky, and the retribution is not happy! ”

Long Zixi saw that a few people didn't know about the baby girl being replaced, and they didn't explain it, but only vaguely responded.

Brother Fang said:

"Well, there is no need to talk about the past. I see that Shaoxia's kung fu is getting better and better, and he is becoming more mature. Truly gratifying! ”

Fourth Brother Fang shouted:

"Isn't it, Shaoxia's shot, the kung fu I waited for was like the stars and the moon, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to make a living in the future!"

Everyone laughed, and Long Zi Xixun thanked him a few words and asked:

"Who is that Tuda?"

Brother Fang smiled and said:

"Why should the young man be in a hurry, let's eat, and the young man will know in the future."

Longzi West Road:

"Brother Fang, it's not that the younger brother is in a hurry. Have you forgotten how many big brothers have forgotten? I, Long Zixi, and the current dynasty are a little verbose. Last night, for the sake of the country, I was in a hurry, but I didn't want to have more to do with the official family. ”

Brother Fang said:

"Whether it's verbose or related, it's hard to say. However, don't worry! If it is not good for our brothers, how dare we reveal our brothers' identities? ”

Second Brother Fang answered:

This official is different from others, not only is he kind, but also loves the country and the people. Don't hide it from Shaoxia, no one will investigate your affairs deeply, and it is all thanks to him. ”

Longzi West Road:

"What do you mean by that?"

Brother Fang said:

"This is a long story, and I will tell you more about it later.

"But please believe that the four of us guarantee with our lives, although this official knows about you, he has no intention of harming you.

"Can't the young man even believe the four of us?"

Longzi West Road:

"The four of them have always been faithful, how dare they doubt it?

"However, why did this Tuda come to Taiyuan? Is it to 'feed the people' again?

"The four of you know how much suffering this 'people' policy has brought to the people?"

Brother Fang said:

"The love of the young man is admirable. However, I don't hide it from Shaoxia that the Tu people came to Taiyuan this time, but in the name of 'feeding the people', there is another important thing to do. ”

Longzi West Road:

"I don't know what?"

Brother Fang said:

"This matter was originally extremely secret, but Lord Tu saw Shaoxia's kung fu last night, and he was overjoyed, and he hoped that Shaoxia would help. So, I can't hide it from you. ”

So, while eating, I explained the matter.

It turned out that Taiyuan was adjacent to the Xirong nation, and in recent years, Xirong had been harassed a lot, and the imperial court had a headache.

The implementation of the policy of "feeding the people" in Taiyuan is precisely for the needs of preparing for war.

The so-called "feeding the people" means cleaning up and registering the population and prohibiting the movement of the population in case of war, but it has a great impact on the lives of the people.

The Zhou royal family has Yan Yan in the north, dog Rong in the west, Jiuyi in the east, and barbarians in the south.

King Xuan intended to marry his daughter to the prince of the Yan Qi Kingdom as his wife, and specially sent the Tu Lord to the Yan Li Kingdom to discuss the matter.

The capital of the country is called Weirong, which is in the north of Haojing, and Taiyuan is in the northwest of Haojing, but it is afraid that other ethnic groups will make trouble from it, in order to cover people's eyes and ears, the Tuda people only go to Taiyuan to supervise the affairs of the "people" in the name, and go to Weirong again under the pretense of Taiyuan.

I thought that this matter was extremely secret, but I didn't expect that the news would leak and attract assassins.

After listening to this, Long Zixi said:

"I am a vulgar grass people, and I don't understand state affairs.

"I just heard my father say that the people's hearts are taken from the royal road, and if the royal road is upright, the people's hearts are at ease, even if they are outsiders, they will obey themselves.

"If the royal road is destroyed, the government is abnormal, not only the people's hearts are unstable, but also the foreigners covet it, I am afraid that the peace will only be for a while, and it will not be a long-term plan.

"How can the little brother help with this matter?"

Second Brother Fang said:

"Shaoxia's grand argument is self-justified.

"But if I want to go to the kingdom, King Xuan is willing to marry his daughter who is like a flower and jade to a barbarian, and he has made a great sacrifice, which is not easy!

"In any case, if we can calm down the border troubles, it will be a good thing that will greatly benefit the country and the people."

Brother Fang said:

"Brother doesn't know. The Tuda people came to Taiyuan in the west, and they came openly and went north, but they had to sneak in secret. But it just lacks a young warrior guard. ”

Only then did Long Zixi know that the Tu Master wanted him to protect the envoy to the north, and he hesitated for a while.

Brother Fang said again:

"The great man of chivalry, righteousness. There is a big and small righteousness, for friends and oneself is small righteousness, and for the country and the people is great righteousness. Doesn't the young man want to be the hero of righteousness? ”

Long Zixi Wu hesitated to himself, and Third Brother Fang smiled:

"The two elder brothers talk like this, it seems that the young man is difficult to understand the general situation! According to the little brother's humble opinion, the young man might as well meet the Tu Master first, and see how it is? That's up to the brothers. ”

Everyone said that it was very good.

Long Zixi is not easy to refuse, so he wants to meet the soil lord.

120

After breakfast, everyone came to meet Tu Daren.

Lord Lu and Master Wei also came.

Brother Fang introduced Long Zixi to Lord Tu, and Long Zixi stepped forward to salute and said:

"The grass people have seen adults."

Tu Daren groaned and smiled:

"Young man, thank you for saving me last night."

He also introduced the two adults Lu Wei and Lord Yu.

The Lord Yu was originally called Father Yushi, and at this time his left arm was injured, and he was hanging his arm with a white cloth.

After the introduction, Long Zixi sat under the shoulders of the Fang family brothers.

Everyone sat down, and Lu Daren said:

"Tell my lord, we have carefully checked those black-clothed people early in the morning, they are definitely not people from Middle-earth, but other nationalities, but it is difficult to determine what kind of nationality they are."

Lord Tu nodded and said:

"It doesn't matter anymore. Seeing that the news that we want to get along with the good guy leaks out, and someone sabotages it, we just need to take more precautions. ”

Wei Da Dao:

"Could it be that the people did it themselves?"

Tu-sama shook his head:

"As far as we know, they are also quite sincere about the marriage, and they will not do it."

Lu Da Da Humane:

"No matter who did it, someone sabotaged it, which just shows that King Xuan is wise. We have to work hard to make this happen. ”

Tu-sama nodded:

"Not bad."

Wei Da Dao:

"There are still hundreds of miles away from this, and for the sake of safety, we must send more people to strictly protect them. How many guards do you need? It's easy to make arrangements. ”

Tuda Humane:

"Strict protection is a certainty. However, I have a meaning, I want to ask Long Shaoxia to help. ”

After speaking, he looked at Long Zixi appreciatively, and everyone also turned their eyes.

Tu-sama continued:

"It's a shame, and you still need to move forward in secret. There are many people, and the goal is large, but it is inconvenient. With the protection of Long Shaoxia, plus the four members of the Fang family, it is enough to deal with it. ”

Long Zixi thought to himself:

"What this Tu Master has done is a good thing that is beneficial to the country and the people, and he is extremely humble, and he can't excuse anything. The matter of looking for children and sword scores by yourself is not important. ”

Standing up at the moment, Lang Sheng said:

"If the adults are driven, the grass people are willing to do their best."

The earth lord was overjoyed and said:

"When it is done, there will be a great reward."

Longzi West Road:

"Your Excellency. The grass people are only willing to protect the adults because they feel that they care about the people and seek benefits for the country.

"I will not dare to accept a reward.

"There is another thing, the grass people have the courage to tell that after the matter is completed, the grass people still have some private matters to take care of, so they should leave. I hope that adults will be fulfilled. ”

Master Tu smiled slightly:

"As long as you have the heart to serve the country and love the people, it doesn't have to be in the official career. How does Long Shaoxia's mood not know? After the deed is done, it will be all right. ”

Long Zixi felt that this Tu Da was much more reasonable than he imagined, and he was grateful in his heart.

Next, everyone discussed some details and decided to set off in three days.
