Chapter 150: Meeting an Old Acquaintance
Huo Yun walked out of the house, glanced back at Huo Yu, and said disdainfully: "He's just timid." ”
Huo Shan hurriedly followed with two steps, and said casually: "Then you will inherit his throne in the future." ”
Huo Yun was stunned when he heard this, stopped, stared sideways at Huo Shan, and laughed dryly. Huo Shan came back to his senses, looked a little embarrassed, and muttered, "It's okay."
Although Huo Yun was ambitious, he also knew that he couldn't talk about this matter now, so he changed the topic, frowned and said to himself: "To assassinate Wei Xiang, who should I send." ”
Huo Shan said: "It's better to be careful at the moment, and don't expose the identity of Huo Fu." ”
Huo Yun pondered for a long time and said, "The dead soldiers of Yongyang Palace have been killed and injured in the two battles of Yunyang Mountain and Chiyang Pavilion, and there is no one available in their hands. After saying that, he looked depressed, snorted, and said, "I am a dignified Huo Mansion, why did I wither so far." ”
Huo Shan was not familiar with the martial artists and dead soldiers of Huo Mansion, so he was silent on the side.
At this time, a family member ran over to Huo Yun and knelt down on one leg to salute: "The villain greets the lord."
Huo Shan recognized that it was Xiao Liu, and said in amazement: "Xiao Liu, you didn't go to Liuli Station-" Originally, he was about to say, "Why didn't you die." Before he could say anything, Huo Yun interrupted him, with a little excitement, and shouted, "Little Liu, I thought of you just now." ”
Xiao Liu's face was ashamed, and he said, "The villain lives up to the expectations of the lord. "When Chun Yu set off the sword wind that day, he happened to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, so he was just cut off his scarf and a tuft of hair, and picked up a life. He fled down the mountain and went straight back to Huofu. Whenever he remembered the scene of that day, he was still terrified, and cold sweat broke out on his head.
Huo Yun didn't care about his thoughts, raised his foot and kicked him, and said, "Get up." ”
Xiao Liu got up and bowed his waist. Huo Yun looked at him and asked, "Is there still a martial artist in the mansion at the moment?" ”
Xiao Liu's mind came up with the bloody scene on Yunyang Mountain again, and he couldn't help but tremble, stumbling for a long time, and didn't say a complete sentence.
Huo Yun was annoyed and roared in a low voice: "Get out." Xiao Liu seemed to be awakened by the scolding, and said: "Lord, there is also a martial artist in the mansion, whose name is Niu Baoguo, who was newly recruited." This person's ingenuity is five consecutive palms, and he has a lot of kung fu.
"Niu Baoguo?" Huo Yun pondered for a moment, vaguely remembering such a person, as if he was introduced by Martial Master Ren. He didn't think about it, beckoned Xiao Liu to come closer, and said in a low voice: "There is an important matter, you and that Niu Baoguo go to do it together, and it has become a reward." ”
Xiao Liu bowed his head and responded: "The villain obeys." ”
"You know Prime Minister Wei Xiang." Huo Yun whispered in his ear.
Xiao Liu didn't know what he meant, and replied honestly: "The villain has seen it." ”
"Tonight, you go to the Prime Minister's Mansion with Niu Baoguo and kill Wei Xiang."
Xiao Liu was stunned, thinking that he had heard it wrong, raised his head to look at Huo Yun, and stammered: "Killed, killed the prime minister?" ”
Huo Yun had a gloomy face and stared at him viciously.
Xiao Liu was terrified, and subconsciously knelt on one leg and said, "The villain obeys orders." ”
Huo Shan comforted him on the side: "There are no guards in the Prime Minister's Mansion, only some miscellaneous servants. He also advised: "You two should start quickly, don't make a big fuss." "Little Six promised.
Huo Yun frowned, and said impatiently: "You just go directly to Niu Baoguo, say that it is my order, let him obey you, and there will be a reward after the deed is completed." Go ahead. Xiao Liu got up and stumbled after a few steps.
Huo Shan looked at Xiao Liu's back and said hesitantly: "These two people can do it." Huo Yun thought for a long time, but just sighed.
Xiao Liu hurriedly found Niu Baoguo and said that the lord sent the two of them to assassinate a sworn enemy of the Huo family, and there would be a reward after the deed.
After Niu Baoguo took refuge in the Huo family, he wanted to make some achievements and make the Huo family pay attention to him. Hearing Xiao Liu say this, he was also excited and urged Xiao Liu to hurry up.
Xiao Liu smiled bitterly in his heart, secretly thinking that this nerd didn't know whether he was alive or dead, so he didn't talk to him in detail. He instructed Niu Baoguo to bring a knife and follow him out, and he said that he would kill whoever he killed, and he would be quick and ruthless.
At this time, it was getting late, Xiao Liu and Niu Baoguo changed into a dark color suit, wearing a sword, and a jacket to cover up, Xiao Liu said: "There will be a curfew in another hour, let's go quickly." The two went out of the gate and went straight to the Prime Minister's Mansion along Zhangtai Street.
But more than half an hour, the two of them have come to the east wall of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The west gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion is facing the east gate of Weiyang Palace, and although the east side is adjacent to Zhangtai Street, it is quite secluded. The east wall was more than one person high, and Xiao Liu looked up and down, wondering how to climb in.
Niu Baoguo was very meritorious and said, "Why don't I step on your shoulders and go up first, and then drop the rope and drag you up." ”
Xiao Liu also thought of this method, and was about to say, "I'll step on your shoulders", but Niu Baoguo said that he was in front, and he had no choice but to nod in reluctance.
The two took off their robes, Xiao Liu squatted down and let Niu Baoguo step on his shoulders, gritted his teeth and stood up violently, and sent Niu Baoguo to the edge of the wall. Niu Baoguo climbed the edge of the wall, lay on it and observed for a while, but there was no movement, and then put down the rope.
Xiao Liu held the rope and was about to climb, when he suddenly heard someone behind him hesitating and shouting, "Little Liu." He quickly turned around, but there was no one behind him, thinking it was an auditory hallucination, laughed self-deprecatingly, turned around and grabbed the rope, and climbed up the wall with his hands and feet. The two jumped into the courtyard one after the other.
At this time, a person turned out from behind a big tree not far away, it was Zhang Xiaoyi. Xiao Liu didn't listen, he was the one who called just now.
After Guo Cong and the other five people left Pingding, they rode their horses all the way, but they arrived in Chang'an in more than 20 days. Guo Cong felt guilty, refused the invitation of relatives and friends, found a secluded house, and lived in a simple house.
Zhang Xiaoyi was young and active, couldn't bear the loneliness, and slipped into the street from time to time to play. Guo Cong and the others thought that they would be brought to justice in a few days, and if they were convicted, even if they were lucky enough not to die, they didn't know how long they would be detained, so they would let him go out to have fun.
On this day, Zhang Xiaoyi went to Dongshi to hang out again, and when he saw that it was getting late, he hurried home. He was about to turn into an alley from Zhangtai Street, when he inadvertently saw a familiar figure on the side of the road, "Little Liu? He froze, and after a moment's distraction, the figure was gone.
He hurriedly chased after him, and found that Xiao Liu and another person had sneaked under the wall, so he stopped his steps and stared at it from a distance. After a while, the man climbed up the ridge of the wall and lowered the rope to pull Xiao Liu up.
At this moment, a few rays of moonlight squeezed out of the cracks in the clouds and sprinkled on the wall. He was shocked to find that the person who climbed the ridge of the wall was also an old acquaintance, "Niu Baoguo? Why did he come to Chang'an, and he got together with Xiaoliu. ”
He was puzzled in his heart, and when he saw that Xiao Liu also climbed into the wall, he blurted out: "Xiao Liu." But as soon as he shouted, he regretted it, and quickly hid behind a tree, and waited until the two men climbed into the yard before they came out from behind the tree.
"This little six, he went to steal treasures again, could it be that he found Niu Baoguo to look out for him?" He stood under the wall and muttered, intending to follow up and take a look, but found that it was impossible for a man to climb the wall.
Zhang Xiaoyi walked along the high wall for a while, looked up and checked, but still couldn't climb over the wall. He was depressed, and was about to return to the street, when he saw a small door in the recess of the wall, and he tentatively pushed it, and the door opened. He quickly dodged in, guessing that the door should be the side door for the servants to enter and exit, but he forgot to lock the door, so he secretly called it a fluke.
