754: Chinese New Year's Eve, Chinese New Year's Eve blood
On Chinese New Year's Eve, Jinling City is bustling.
The glitz and bustle of Luoshi Street is certainly more lively than any other day of the year.
Chinese New Year's Eve was originally a reunion night, but in the Jinling Imperial Capital, there were inevitably too many homeless people, and these people regarded the Qinlou Chu Pavilion located on Luoshi Street as a place of drunken dreams and death.
The business of Red Sleeves is more popular than that of Miaoyinfang and Yang Liuxin.
But in the entire noisy Luoshi Street, if you want to say that the most special thing has to be the land boat driven by Lu Houye.
The restaurant, which is mainly operated in the high-end business, has extremely strict opening hours, and the daily cost of ingredients is fixed, which makes diners complain, but the business of the land boat is getting better and better every day.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, the land boat closed the door according to the scheduled closing time.
Therefore, under the lights everywhere in Luoshi Street, only the land boat is pitch black, and the darkness and night are integrated.
The wind is howling.
Two ghostly figures suddenly appeared in the shadows beside the street.
Their goal, of course, was to go on land.
Zhuo Dingfeng, who was shrouded in a black-clothed mask, his eyes were slightly condensed, and he raised his eyes to look at the luxurious restaurant not far away.
Beside him was his eldest son, Zhuo Qingyao.
It was hard for anyone to imagine that the owner of Tianquan Mountain Villa, who was famous in the rivers and lakes, would take the young owner to assassinate the inner prison on Chinese New Year's Eve.
Zhuo Dingfeng spoke in a deep voice, repeating the content of this mission.
"We just need to throw a fire in."
"Your father-in-law has probed the inside of the land boat in advance, and it is very easy to cause a fire."
"Today's Chinese New Year's Eve, firecrackers and fireworks are being set off all over Jinling, and Mars burns to the land boat, which will not arouse suspicion."
The father and son of the Zhuo family have been brainwashed by Xie Houye for many years, and now they have completely become the blade of murder in Xie Yu's hands.
Xie Yu said that Lu Ze will repay his eyes.
But isn't he himself the same retribution?
Even after the assassination of the inner prisoner today, he ordered the Zhuo family father and son to come to Luoshi Street and set a fire.
Everyone knows that the land boat is Lu Hou's industry, and on that wall is hung a treasure that makes many powerful diners itch.
Xie Yu wanted to see if that Wu Weihou would feel the slightest distress after a fire burned the entire land boat to ashes.
It's just that the fire on Chinese New Year's Eve today is still too small compared to the fire that Xie Yu is most proud of burning in Meiling.
Zhuo Dingfeng is the fourth-ranked existence on the Langya master list, and the swordsmanship of the owner of Tianquan Mountain Villa is the best in the Liang Kingdom, so he has just assassinated the forbidden army and the inner prison under the palace wall.
I saw the father and son of the Zhuo family rushing towards the location of the land boat with brisk steps and ghostly figures.
In the noisy Luoshi Street, no one found anything abnormal.
Zhuo Dingfeng's cultivation of Tianquan Villa's Yangquan Gong has been completed, and after flying over the wall to the backyard of the land boat, the tight string in his heart was quietly loosened, and he did not feel the breath of a master in the land boat.
For the Marquis Lu, who became famous in Kyoto, Zhuo Dingfeng's heart was still full of jealousy.
The latter's heart, the city, the saints... The powerful people in Kyoto dare not underestimate it, but for people like Zhuo Dingfeng, what is more feared is undoubtedly Lu Ze's terrifying martial arts.
"You go to the east, I'll go to the west, and leave quickly when you're done!"
Zhuo Qingyao nodded.
Just as Zhuo Dingfeng took out the firearm in his arms, his body suddenly tensed, as if walking in the dense forest, he turned his head and found that a wild wolf was quietly staring at him, this silent danger caused Zhuo Dingfeng to have goosebumps all over his body, and the Tianquan Sword behind him was already out of the sheath.
- Phew!
The sharp blade of the sword led to the sound of breaking the wind.
And Zhuo Qingyao, who was next to Zhuo Dingfeng, realized it and followed the sword.
Although Zhuo Qingyao's internal cultivation attainments were not as good as his father's, his understanding of the Tianquan Sword was not inferior at all, and his sword strength was fierce and ruthless.
The father and son came up with all their might, and they knew the tacit understanding of this successive shots.
One sword is pointed at the center of the eyebrows, and the other is pointed at the chest.
The opponent of the Zhuo family's father and son was a blindfolded man in black, who was standing under the withered banyan tree in the courtyard with his arms folded, and his body was completely confused with the thick night, so that even Zhuo Dingfeng, a master at the top of the Langya master list, did not notice his figure when he first entered the hospital.
No one in the world knows this one under the banyan tree.
Even when Lu Ze was at the border, he didn't let Wuzhu make a move.
It's just that after building the land boat, Lu Ze thought about letting Wuzhu come out here and breathe fresh air.
Wuzhu's answer at that time was very direct: "I am a robot and do not need to breathe." ”
And Zhuo Dingfeng didn't know that Wuzhu was a robot.
It was only after seeing the strange weapon like a black chisel break through the sword momentum that his heart had already risen in retreat.
Especially when he saw Wuzhu's eyes covered with black cloth, this strange master with a blind appearance made Zhuo Dingfeng's face extremely solemn.
Today's assassination of the inner prison outside the imperial city is the real purpose, this trip to the land boat is just an additional instruction from his in-laws Xie Yu before departure, and now there is a difference on the land boat, which is undoubtedly not suitable for continuing to fight.
"Let's go!"
Zhuo Dingfeng shouted in a low voice, and the father and son were ready to leave.
But at this time, Wuzhu's figure disappeared directly in place, Zhuo Dingfeng's scalp tightened, and he just wanted to open his mouth to remind, but found that Wuzhu had appeared beside Zhuo Qingyao, and the strange iron drill smashed towards the left rib of the young owner of Tianquan Villa in the form of a wave.
"How do you know..."
Zhuo Qingyao's face showed a look of horror, and he couldn't stop it, so he directly ate this iron drill.
With just one blow, he fell to the ground, bleeding from his mouth and nose, and his serious injuries were difficult to recover.
Zhuo Dingfeng was also shocked.
What Wuzhu had just attacked was precisely the flaw in Zhuo Qingyao's Tianquan Exercises.
After all, Zhuo Qingyao is still young, and his study of the internal strength and mental method has not yet reached perfection, and of course there will be flaws in the internal air circulation, but this kind of flaw cannot be seen by the top masters at all, except that he has an extremely thorough understanding of the exercises of Tianquan Villa.
Zhuo Dingfeng's hand holding the sword trembled slightly.
The son who was seriously injured and fell to the ground behind him did not even make a sound at this time, and it was obvious that the situation had reached an extremely dangerous point.
Wuzhu's face did not change in the slightest, but he just locked on Zhuo Dingfeng's body.
Zhuo Dingfeng stared at Wuzhu, gritted his teeth and said, "Who are you?" ”
Tonight is too strange.
The blind master in front of him seemed to be waiting for their father and son here.
Wuzhu did not speak.
Zhuo Dingfeng had cold sweat on his forehead, he was not worried about himself, but worried that it would be difficult for him and his son to leave safely tonight, especially when he thought of the terrible consequences after being exposed, even if he was the owner of Tianquan Villa and the fourth master on the Langya master list, he couldn't help but tremble.
At the same time.
Wuwei Hou Mansion.
Lu Ze knew what had just happened in the land boat.
The inner eunuch of Cicai has not arrived at the Hou Mansion for a long time, and Liu Qiushuang is worried about this, and sure enough, he was killed.
Lu Ze looked up at the dark sky of the night, scattered snow particles began to float in the sky, the new moon on Chinese New Year's Eve had not shown its head, the heavy snow came again, and it took a long time to see the cold and bright moonlight.
"Chinese New Year's Eve snow."
"Blood on Chinese New Year's Eve."
......
Ning Guohou's mansion is very lively.
The group of Tianquan Mountain Villa will reunite in the capital every year, and Xiao Jingrui has been happy about the gathering of the two families on Chinese New Year's Eve in the past few years, but this year's Grand Duke Xiao is not in a good mood, especially after knowing his father's true position.
Tonight, the eldest princess returned to her room early.
Xie Houye kept the New Year alone.
As time passed slowly, Xie Yu in the main hall opened his eyes, and his eyes flashed with a slight uneasiness.
The father and son of the Zhuo family have been gone for so long, and they have not come back until now.
Unlike Liu Qiushuang's mood of not being able to wait for the food delivery supervisor for a long time, Xie Houye is now very impatient in his heart, making the Zhuo family father and son assassinate the food delivery prison in the palace on Chinese New Year's Eve, and Xie Yu made up his mind after hesitating for a long time during this time.
In order to make the forbidden army chaotic, it is best to let Meng Zhi lose His Majesty's trust.
The court is changing, Xie Yu of course also knows that the irreplaceable four words are the foundation of his life, although he is suspected by His Majesty at the moment, but at least the ability is still there, and it is a sure thing to lose the patrol battalion after the New Year.
The power of the forbidden army has undoubtedly become a must-have thing in Xie Yu's eyes.
At this time, I can only start with the word 'ability' to make a big fuss.
The second half of the night was about to pass, but the father and son of the Zhuo family had no sign of returning to the Ningguo Marquis Mansion, and Xie Yu knew that there must have been a mistake in the night.
It's not that there's a problem on the side of the palace wall, it's on the side of Luoshi Street.
But no matter where it was, it was not good news for Xie Yu, because he was already bound to Tianquan Villa, especially Zhuo Dingfeng really knew too many things about him.
Xie Yu's face was gloomy.
On the first day of the new year, everything went wrong.
......
The sky is getting white, and the snow is hurrying.
The bodies of the five inner guards next to the palace wall and a team of forbidden guards were finally found.
Last night, His Majesty the Emperor gave a total of thirteen imperial dishes from the palace, but only twelve teams came back in the end, and the forbidden army and the patrol battalion set out together after learning the news, and finally found the bodies of the people who had not returned on the edge of the palace.
The killing methods are very neat, and they are all sealed with a sword.
The deceased's face was peaceful, his clothes were intact and clean, and there was no sign of struggle, as if he had been killed out of thin air.
His Majesty the Emperor was furious when he learned the news.
On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, at the feet of the Son of Heaven and by the walls of the palace, the imperial envoy was killed as an internal supervisor, which was undoubtedly a serious provocation to the imperial power.
The place where the crime occurred had not yet left the inner bank of the Miyagi moat and was under the defense range of the forbidden army, and Emperor Liang accused the commander of Meng for neglecting his duties and ineffective protection, and even such an ominous bloody case occurred on Chinese New Year's Eve, and ordered the court to have twenty rods.
Xie Yu deliberately ordered the patrol battalion to focus on exploring Xialuoshi Street.
I saw that the land boat was open as usual on the first day of the Lunar New Year, without the slightest abnormality.
Xie Yu instantly knew that the father and son of the Zhuo family must have been on the land.
The joy in the mansion of the Marquis of Wuwei is still strong.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Lu Ze changed into a brand-new brocade dress, a hair crown, a jade belt, and even a white fox fur collar specially prepared by Liu Qiushuang around his neck, just like a noble son in Jinling City.
Liu Qiushuang knew about the bloody case at the root of the palace wall for the first time, and looked at Lu Ze inexplicably.
This... Was the inner prison really killed?
Liu Qiushuang had too many things to ask, but Lu Ze had already packed up and planned to go out.
"Today, on the first day of the new year, there must be too many people coming to visit the New Year, and I am still bothered by my mother to receive them in the house."
"I'm going to pay New Year's greetings."
Lu Ze smiled gently, and with the clothes of this noble son, he didn't look like a real marquis in power, but more like a prince of a family who planned to go out to play: "Go to King Mu's Mansion first, then go to Ning Guohou's Mansion, and maybe go to Uncle Guo's Mansion... Liufu is also going to go for a walk, isn't my cousin getting married in the sixth year of junior high school? ”
The cousin's name is Liu Nian, the last time Lu Ze met in Liufu, he was the youngest grandson of Zhongshu Ling Liu Cheng.
Liu Qiushuang could only wave her hand: "That's it, you go." ”
On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the streets were littered with fragments of fire paper, and there were many pedestrians coming and going, but there were almost no vendors, and almost all the shops on both sides of the market were closed, and only two or three sellers of fire candles were still open.
The soldiers of the patrol battalion went to work early to clock in.
Lu Ze was not in a hurry to go to the land boat, the father and son of the Zhuo family were all subdued by Wuzhu last night, and now they are all imprisoned, Zhuo Dingfeng's condition is fine, but the young owner Zhuo Qingyao's physical condition is very bad.
In front of the Beijing Mansion of King Mu, the officers and soldiers in military uniforms were all tied up extremely tightly at the waist, as straight as a wooden stake.
These Mu Wangfu guards all changed into brand-new black military uniforms, their eyes were shining, and they looked very energetic.
After the leader saw the carriage of the Marquis of Wuwei's mansion, he quickly stepped forward and bowed to Lu Ze, who got out of the carriage: "I have seen Lu Hou, the county lord has a word, the Hou Ye came today, you can enter the mansion directly, and you don't need to report." ”
The soldiers of Mu Wangfu looked at Lu Ze with respect in their eyes.
Whether it is Daliang, Dayu, or Northern Yan and Southern Chu, what is admired in the army is the strong.
Yunnan Wangfu 100,000 iron cavalry is good at fighting, for the county lord Ma Shou is looking forward, in their opinion, only the strongest man in the world can have the qualification to marry the county lord, Lu Ze was born at the son-in-law selection conference, defeated the strong people of various countries one after another, and was born in the army, the official worships the marquis, holds the authority of the western border, and is undoubtedly the best choice for the county lord's husband.
Lu Ze slowly walked into King Mu's mansion.
Mu Qing was extremely excited after knowing that Lu Ze was coming, and grabbed him to discuss the murder that had just happened.
Mu Qing looked at Lu Ze, shook his head and sighed: "Lu Hou, your martial arts are so good, I really envy you, how can you be like me, the kung fu of the three-legged cat." ”
"Now you know that you envy others? What did I tell you to do when you practiced? Just know to be lazy. ”
Ni Huang, who came from behind, taught a lesson with a straight face.
Mu Qing said stupidly: "I'm not lazy, I'm just slow to learn." ”
"Diligence can make up for clumsiness, and if you don't have enough qualifications, you should work harder."
Mu Qing could only turn his head and focus on his 'brother-in-law' for help.
Lu Ze smiled: "I'm too talented, I really can't teach you anything, you better be stupid and fly first." ”
Mu Qing's expression was gloomy.
The Nihuang County Lord taught a few more lessons, this time he looked at Lu Ze, raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you know about the murder of the inner prisoner?" ”
Lu Ze nodded: "I know, because the team of internal supervisors was supposed to send imperial dishes to the Wuwei Hou Mansion." ”
Nihuang had a strange face.
This guy knows everything.
Don't say you even know who the killer is this time.
