Xu Fuquan went to the places that Zhou Xing said, climbed the peak tower to overlook the entire imperial capital at noon, went to the Taibai Building to eat at noon, and then went to the painting heart pavilion to enjoy the paintings, and when the full moon rose in the evening, he climbed the Invitation Moon Tower, while looking at the full moon in the sky, while overlooking the lights of thousands of homes below, it is now at night, the bustling streets of the imperial capital are full of people, everything seems so lively. He looked at the full moon for a while, and began to get a little tired. After all, after visiting most of the imperial capital, it is tiring.

Xu Fuquan left the Invitation Moon Pavilion, and then went to the natural residence and asked for a good guest room to go in and rest. He sat cross-legged on the bed, his eyes slightly closed, as if he had fallen asleep.

Suddenly, a scythe attached to the chain flew in from outside the window and struck at the door of Xu Shiquan's face. Xu Shiquan opened his eyes suddenly, drew the sword of sorrow, and knocked the scythe to the ground.

"Death Scythe?" Xu Fuquan let out a low sigh, intending to attack back with his sword.

"Master Xu is so vigilant." A strange laugh sounded in the darkness, and the chain seemed to fly up, wrapping around Xu Fuquan's sword-holding arm, making him unable to swing the sword of sorrow, and finally the scythe slashed at Xu Fuquan's neck. Xu Shiquan stretched out a finger of his left hand, and a strong masculine inch resisted the tip of the sickle.

"Die!" A loud shout sounded from above, and I saw that the roof above was trampled through, and a burly man with a double axe smashed directly on the top of Xu Fuquan's head. Xu Fuquan threw out a small blade, forcing the man in the darkness to put away his sickle and avoid the blade. The moment he broke free of the chain, he raised his sword above his head. The burly man's double axe hit the sword of sorrow, but it did not have any effect on Xu Fuquan, but he still raised his sword lightly and took three steps back.

Then two short-bladed knives appeared from behind him and slashed at him. Xu Fuquan turned over and jumped up, and two more swords blocked his way, and he had no way to retreat. Suddenly, four rosary beads burst out of the roof and struck at each of the four weapons that were aimed at Xu Shiki, causing them to bounce away.

"Who's going to do it?"

"What do you say?" On the edge of another window, a middle-aged man was smoking a cigarette slowly.

"Uncle Xiang." Xu Fuquan was slightly stunned.

The man in the darkness was also shocked: "Are you Xiangmo?" ”

"Imperial Capital Shadow Guard." Xiangmo said lightly, "I've heard your name too. It turns out that the person standing behind the Xuanwu Pavilion is you. ”

The man smiled, "My name is Chen Jiu." At the behest of the master, I came to see the two of them. ”

Xu Fuquan frowned slightly: "Lord of the Shadow Guard, Xin Changming?" ”

Chen Jiu nodded: "The master's name, I don't dare to call it directly." ”

"After all, it's the prince of Qianji, and his status is very noble." Xiangmo said with a smile.

"Since both of you have arrived, please come with me." The strong man said coldly.

"It's too late, we both need to rest." Xiangmo put away his cigarette stick and yawned, "Several, come back tomorrow." ”

The master said.......... "What else does the strong man want to say."

"Didn't you hear clearly? I'll let you come back tomorrow! Xiangmo gently shook the circle of prayer beads in his hand, wanting to make a move.

"Okay, I'll go back and talk to my master about it." Chen Jiu grabbed the strong man and turned over and retreated through the window, and the other four Shadow Guards also quietly left.

"It's a good thing I arrived in time, otherwise you'd be in trouble." Xiangmo patted Xu Fuquan on the shoulder, "How is it?" It didn't hurt anything. ”

Xu Fuquan smiled faintly: "Thank you Uncle Xiang first." Uncle Xiang, aren't you staying at the Divine Doctor? How could you suddenly come to the Imperial Capital City, this matter should have nothing to do with you. ”

"Don't worry, I've already gone to see her, so I came to you." Xiangmo waved his hand.

"What happened? It's worth your visit. Xu Fuquan asked.

Xiangmo found a stool and sat down: "I will explain the next thing to you carefully." That day, you fell under the Xuanwu Building with Zhengya, do you remember? ”

Xu Fuquan nodded: "Remember." ”

"Zhengya saw a book there, I thought it was just a small book in the tea market, and after reading it, I put it back. But on the other day I happened to hear Masaya and Mr. Li Zhou mention the book, and Mr. Li Zhou said that the tea market book was a history book, and the things recorded in it were all true. Xiangmo said slowly.

Xu Fuquan also sat down: "Then what is recorded in this history book?" ”

"Don't worry, let me smoke a cigarette." Xiangmo took out his cigarette stick and took a puff of cigarette, and continued, "Six hundred years ago, at the end of the Xu Kingdom, the war was continuous, and the people were not able to make a living, so there was a hero in the troubled times, and that person was Wu Tianzhi, the founding emperor of the Wu Kingdom, who led the rebel army to overthrow the rule of the Xu State and established an unprecedentedly powerful dynasty, which is the Wu Kingdom we live in now. The twelve people standing behind Wu Tianzhi are the founding heroes of the Wu Kingdom, known as the 12 Taibao of Kaitian. These are histories that you and I both know. ”

Xu Fuquan nodded: "The history of the founding of Wu Tianzhi, the ancestor of Wu Gao, I am tired of hearing it in the teahouse. ”

Xiangmo nodded: "But what the storyteller in the teahouse doesn't know is that in fact, at the beginning, Wu Tianzhi wanted to seal the 13th Taibao, but there was one person who was in the dark and must not be exposed to the eyes of the world." So he changed it to twelve. This person is Mr. Gu, in the process of Wu Tianzhi's army, he was not victorious in a hundred battles as stated in the history books, and sometimes he fell into a desperate situation, but the night before the battle, the enemy's general died violently....."

Xu Fuquan frowned: "Mr. Gu killed him?" ”

"Yes, they all died at the hands of Mr. Gu, so everything Mr. Gu did must not be announced to the world, but Wu Gaozu didn't want Mr. Gu's skills to be buried, so he ordered Mr. Gu to establish an organization to monitor the rivers and lakes, monitor the rivers and lakes for Gaozu, and if there are people who are in chaos, cut down the grass and eradicate the roots. That's all the story of that book, and you and I can probably guess the rest of the story. In fact, the entire Xuanwu Pavilion has always been the one who monitors the rivers and lakes for the Wu clan's royal family. Xiang Mo laughed loudly, "I didn't expect it, every person in Xuanwu Pavilion who has killed a lifetime has always felt that he is full of evil, but he didn't expect that he would have become someone else's pawn long ago." ”

Xu Fuquan was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "On the rivers and lakes, it has always been said that our Xuanwu Pavilion dares to kill anyone, even if he is a high-ranking official in the court, or a famous family in the rivers and lakes, as long as the money is enough, even the emperor can kill him." But in fact, we turned out to be pawns to clear the obstacles for the emperor. This is a bit ...... Ironic. ”

Xiangmo sighed lightly: "After knowing the truth, I have been thinking that if I live as a pawn, it is better to be a killer who sells his life with people's money." ”
