Volume 3: Immortal Realm Chapter 204: Dead, or Alive
It's just such a tough general, who only hit out with one move, not only was the knife broken, but the person was also grabbed by the other party with one hand, picked up like a chicken, and held it in the air.
Du Shenzhuo saw an angry face and a pair of eyes that were a hundred times colder than the snow on the mountain, and the breath of death was overwhelming.
"Say, who borrowed the crossbow machine? Ye Shubai's voice was almost hysterical.
In the face of this kind of unimaginably powerful martial artist, there is no need for Du Shenzhuo to say such threatening words as immortals can't be provoked, otherwise it will only cause jokes in vain. It was really out of line, so he had to say hatefully: "It was borrowed by the people of the Imperial Division, and it was borrowed by Master Pei Xuanpei." ”
Sure enough, it was him!
The mystery in Ye Shubai's heart was finally confirmed.
Bang!
Du Shenzhuo fell to the ground, and when he recovered, there were still figures around.
Jiuyun City, a flower city in the fairy world that is like spring all year round. This city is located in the southeast corner of the fairy world, the climate is pleasant, the pace of life in the city is very slow, time seems to slow down here, the people in the city usually sway, or go on the green, enjoy the flowers, or drink tea, write poems, or play a chess game with three or five friends on the side of the road, or listen to the storyteller under the tree foaming at the mouth, all of this, is the time of the day. Most of the people living here are the nobles of the immortal clan or the wealthy giants, and these rich idlers will of course live their lives in a delicate way, looking for the joy of life in a slow and leisurely pace.
Pei Xuan, as the chief banner of the Imperial Division, if only according to his position, he has no capital to live here. However, the Imperial Oracle Division is the most powerful spy under the Immortal Emperor's throne, and even if he is a small general banner, he is already a powerful person. There is a lot of power, as long as there is a little greed, it is natural that the wealth is rolling.
Pei Mansion is located in the garden area of the west city of Jiuyun City, where the environment is quiet, there are mountains and rivers, they are all single-family villas, and there are neighbors next to it. His house is a large mansion with five entrances before and after, the architectural style of blue tiles and white walls, the front and back of the house are repaired, the flowers are blooming everywhere, and the house is also carved and painted, and the decoration is luxurious, which is simply the ultimate embodiment of enjoying life.
The afternoon time seems to be lazy and scattered. In Ye Shubai's opinion, Pei Xuan should be childless, after all, he is still young. But that's just Ye Shubai looking at the matter of early marriage in this world with the thinking of late marriage in that world, in this world, in fact, Master Pei already has three wives and concubines and three children, and he already has two men and one girl under his knees.
The afternoon sun was warm, and the subordinates of Pei Mansion were taking the little master and the little lady to play and play on the open grass in front of the house. The three flower-like young mothers smiled and stood next to their subordinates, looking at this beautiful scene under the warm sun.
Pei Xuan, who was resting, returned home three days ago, and every day he and his wife took the children out of the city to play, and in two days, they almost saw the scenery in the city, and today they didn't go out, just playing near their homes.
Pei Xuan looked at this happy scene, and he had never felt so relieved in his heart.
But two days later, his rest was coming to an end, and he remembered that the happy time was coming to an end, and he was also slightly annoyed, and suddenly remembered that he still wanted to think that some things had not yet been dealt with, so he said hello to the ladies, and then turned back to the house.
Entering through the side door, passing through a hand-copying verandah, we turned into the west courtyard, and came to a small attic, and walked up the mahogany staircase that emitted a dark fragrance, and entered a spacious study. This attic is located in the cross courtyard on the west side of Pei's house, separated from the living room and hall of the master's daily life, relatively speaking, it is a relatively secluded place for Pei Xuan to deal with official business.
Pei Xuan entered the study, walked to the front of the case, and continued to deal with some cases.
The breeze blew, and the scent of flowers wafted in from the window, the fragrance of some unknown wildflowers. On the west side of the attic, there is a small river flowing slowly, the water is crystal clear, the water is full of fish, and on both sides of the river grows a large field of wild flowers, which are blooming fragrantly, attracting bees and butterflies.
Although Pei Xuanqi is ruthless, he is also a very emotional scribe, and the beautiful shelves in his study are full of all kinds of books, covering many categories, and many of them have been read by him. He also has a unique taste for flowers, he doesn't like expensive flowers, he likes wild flowers that grow wildly in the field, in his opinion, the super vitality of wild flowers is somewhat similar to his strong personality.
After a little handling of the case, he rubbed his eyes, walked to the windowsill and glanced at the wildflowers by the river, took a deep breath of the flower-scented air, and then slowly turned around, his body slightly frozen.
A young man stood beside his precious rosewood long table, holding a book in his hand, glanced at it, and said with a faint expression: "Master Pei is a good official, and he still handles official affairs so diligently in his days. ”
When he saw Ye Shubai, Pei Xuan's eyes actually showed a touch of relief, as if a criminal who had been absconding for a long time had been caught, and he felt a sense of relief.
"I didn't expect you to track it down!" Pei Xuan smiled miserably, and the muscles on his face stiffened a little with laughter.
Ye Shubai put the fold in his hand back on the table, his face was already a little cold, and he said with some puzzlement: "I have always wondered why you have not been satisfied with the fact that a person in a high position like you, in this world, wants to be windy and rainy, and others are trembling in front of you, and treat you as a god? Look at your house, it is simply inhumane! And your family, how happy, with a group of wives and concubines, and both children and daughters. I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out. As he spoke, he shook his head.
Pei Xuan just showed a miserable smile, but now he regained his calm and natural look, and said: "Others think that I am the emperor who is high above, and I am the dragon among people, and I can do whatever I want." But is that the case?"
Ye Shubai looked at him and didn't answer. He wanted to see what kind of rhetoric the other party would have.
Pei Xuan continued: "The greater the power, the heavier the responsibility. Every year His Majesty the Emperor has given us a task, we must accomplish it. It is done unconditionally. If there is a mistake or an accident, you will lose your job at least and lose your life. You only see the front of our scenery, but you have never seen the back of our sadness. ”
Ye Shubai looked at him with interest, but still didn't speak.
Pei Xuan's tense body gradually relaxed, his footsteps moved slowly, leaned over to the bookshelf on the left, and said, "So Mr. Su, do you still think I'm happy?"
Ye Shubai didn't care about his move, anyway, he was watching a dying man and making a final confession. Hearing the other party's rhetorical question, he was slightly stunned, and then said lightly: "I think you are very happy, you have a house, a car, a wife, a stable job, a good income, and it is a respectable profession." What else are you not happy about. ”
"No, no, Mr. Su, you don't know the pressure that the Imperial Oracle Division is subjected to in front of His Majesty the Emperor. There are many people who died at the hands of His Majesty in the middle of the year. In fact, they did not make much of a mistake, maybe just a small mistake was enough to kill. Those of us who walk in front of the emperor are all big red people in the eyes of others, but in our eyes, the red letter of this big red man can be interpreted as the red of blood, not the red of luck. ”
"Oh, so you guys are so miserable, but I didn't expect it. Ye Shubai's tone was a little disapproving, and he paused for a moment before he said coldly: "Then this time you took four thousand ox crossbow machines from the arsenal of the Xianwei Army, is it also the meaning of His Majesty the Emperor?"
This is a bit poisonous, and it will poke the other party's face that has just been sold miserably.
The expression on Pei Xuan's face stiffened slightly, and then he gently pulled it away, and said with a straight face: "Where the responsibility is, I can only say I'm sorry." ”
Ye Shubai sneered: "Without the will of His Majesty the Emperor, you dare to use the Thousand Ox Crossbow Machine to slaughter innocent people. It is no wonder that His Majesty the Emperor will exert great pressure on you, you deceitful and lawless dogs, if His Majesty the Emperor is not strict with you, you will not be allowed to go to heaven. ”
Pei Xuan's face gradually became difficult to look at, and in the face of Ye Shubai's ridicule, he didn't refute it, but his feet moved a little more towards the bookshelf, and his left hand trembled a little panicked.
Ye Shubai glared at him with cold eyes, and said expressionlessly: "Are there any people involved in this matter?"
The expression on Pei Xuan's face was still ugly, but he still didn't speak.
Ye Shubai suddenly felt contempt, so he said coldly: "You are a smart person, I know what you will choose." I once warned you, if you dare to touch the people of the Su family, I will kill you and the whole family. This statement is still valid to this day. ”
Pei Xuan's body trembled, as if he had suffered a critical blow, and his face finally showed panic, extreme panic, and said with bared teeth: "You can't touch my family, you can't touch my family." ”
Ye Shubai said indifferently: "Then you tell me, did the people from the Imperial Investigation Division participate in this incident?"
Pei Xuan's face turned pale, he shook his head in frustration, and looked at the other party with an incomprehensible gaze: "You are a madman, you are a hopelessly madman." Who do you think you are, you have to fight against the order of the Eternal Continent. Do you know how powerful the Imperial Oracle Division and the Imperial Investigation Division are? Let me tell you, Su Can, what you have seen is only a very small part of their forces, and their strength is not what you can imagine. It's not something you can compete with. You killed me alone, offending the Imperial Decree Division is already a catastrophe, do you still want to deal with the Imperial Division? You are crazy, you are fucking crazy. ”
Ye Shubai said: "It doesn't matter if I'm crazy or not, I only know how to kill people to pay for my life and pay off debts." You slaughtered dozens of innocent people from the Su family, then I will kill them back, that's all. ”
