Chapter 8 Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas
The moon is like a silver platter, sprinkled on the earth.
In the courtyard of the Dongchang Governor's Mansion, the sound of footsteps, shouts of killing, scolding, screams, and the sound of the clashing of gold and iron blades were mixed together.
There were already dozens of corpses lying on the ground, and the smell of blood drifted along the night wind to the two figures standing on the roof behind them.
Yu Huatian carried his hands on his back, and the silver-white python robe on his body gently fluctuated with the night wind, and his fair face depicted a handsome arc, like a fairy in the night sky.
Looking at the chaotic scene below, he said lightly: "This Zhao Jingzhong has been secretly dormant for so many years, and he has only attracted so many people? ”
Ma Jinliang carried two swords on his back and wore a bronze beast mask, like a ghost and ghost, standing quietly next to Yuhuatian.
Wen Yan nodded and said: "This person is a little smart, but his mind and wrist can't be compared with Wan Yulou, if it weren't for the assistance of his junior sister Wei Ting, he would have been eaten by Wan Yulou all these years and there would be no scum left." ”
"It's so unbearable that he is also the heir of Wei Zhongxian!"
Yu Huatian shook his head with some disappointment, and then turned his eyes to look at the few figures wearing flying fish suits in the field: "It's the Jinyi Guards, whose martial arts are not bad." ”
Ma Jinliang's white ghost pupils also looked down, and pointed to the introduction: "The Qianhu in the silver-white flying fish suit, named Lu Wenzhao, is a person from Beizhen Fusi, who acts relatively low-key, and has been attached to Dongchang all these years, and is the most loyal dog under Dongchang, let him bite whoever he wants, he should want to climb up by relying on Dongchang." ”
"Really?"
Yuhuatian said lightly: "If a thousand households rise again, it will be the Fusi of the North and South Towns, but these two positions are basically determined by the imperial court, and it is not the turn of the East Factory to designate them." ”
Ma Jinliang was stunned for a moment and said, "In that case, why is he willing to be a lackey of Dongchang?" It's no good to be so forbearing......"
"Who knows!"
Yu Huatian smiled and didn't say much, but there was an inexplicable look in his eyes.
This world is indeed more interesting.
Even the characters of the 'Embroidered Spring Knife' are gathered together.
If the plot is not crooked, the reason why Lu Wenzhao is so forbearant is to overthrow this era, which is what he often calls "changing the way of living".
On the surface, he is a Jinyi Wei Qianhu, a lackey of Dongchang, but in fact, he secretly defected to King Xin, intending to support King Xin to ascend the throne.
By the way, it is worth mentioning that at this moment, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is Zhu Youxiao, the emperor of the Apocalypse, and the name of King Xin is Zhu Youzhen, which is later Emperor Chongzhen, the emperor's younger brother.
Because the emperor was in poor health and had no children under his knees, once the emperor died, Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, was indeed the best candidate to inherit the throne.
However, in the original drama of "Embroidered Spring Knife", Zhu Youzhen became the emperor with the support of Wei Zhongxian, but in this world, Wei Zhongxian was abolished by the Emperor of the Apocalypse ten years ago.
And as far as Yuhuatian knows, the Iron Courage God Marquis of the Dragon Guardian Villa has also been secretly collecting evidence of the major generals and plotting rebellion all these years.
So whether Zhu Youzhen can become the emperor or not is another matter.
Yuhuatian is also not very sure, so he did not explain much.
Seeing this, Ma Jinliang didn't ask any more questions, looked at the battlefield below, and continued to introduce: "The man who used the embroidered spring knife is named Shen Lian, and he is a general banner under Lu Wenzhao; The man next to him with a winged goose knife is named Lu Jianxing, who is Shen Lian's Shangguan and has a hundred hereditary households; The other one who used double knives was called Jin Yichuan, a small flag officer under Shen Lian. ”
"These three are sworn brothers, Lu Jianxing, Shen Lian, and Jin Yichuan."
"By the way, that Jin Yichuan seems to be the junior brother of Ding Xiu, but we haven't found out the origin of this Ding Xiu yet, but judging by their kung fu, it should be from the border army......
Yu Huatian said lightly: "This person's master is called Ding Baiying, and Lu Wenzhao are brothers and sisters, and they are both descendants of the Qi family knife. ”
"Qi family knife?!"
Ma Jinliang was a little surprised, Qi Jiguang, the founder of the Qi family knife, was a generation of famous generals, so in this era, the heirs of the Qi family knife are indeed worth a second look.
Yu Huatian nodded, looked at the figures in the field, and said, "In addition to Ding Xiu, a few other people, if they are interested, if they are not interested, they will send them to see Li Zhong, and they don't have to leave their hands...... By the way, Shen Lian don't kill him, leave it to me. ”
Yu Huatian's eyes had been focused on Shen Lian, and he was already thinking about how much luck Shen Lian could be worth.
After all, it is also the protagonist of a drama, so it shouldn't be too low......
"Yes." Ma Jinliang nodded.
"Our men are all in ambush, aren't they?"
"Tan Luzi and Zhao Tong are waiting outside, and all the masters above the third rate are here!"
Ma Jinliang replied.
Yuhuatian bowed slightly.
At this time, there was a sudden commotion below, and with the crowd of people, a majestic voice came from outside the mansion: "Zhao Jingzhong, the head of the big stall, is guilty of assassinating the deputy governor, and his crime should be punished." ”
"Our family was ordered to kill the thief, today only the head of the thief, whoever dares to stop it, it will be regarded as an accomplice, and there will be no mercy for killing!"
Hearing this voice, the corners of Yuhuatian's mouth lifted slightly, and said, "The Lord is here!" ”
…
In the courtyard of the Doge's Palace.
When Zhao Jingzhong and the others heard the sound from outside, they were also shocked, and then their faces changed.
"Liu Xi!"
Zhao Jingzhong's face was ugly, and he gritted his teeth and said.
"Liu Xi? Isn't it the West Factory Governor Gongyuhuatian? ”
When Ding Xiu heard this, his eyes were withdrawn from Zhao Jingzhong's head, and he was also a little puzzled.
Can you still earn 2,000 taels of silver today?
With Liu Xi's voice, coupled with the fact that Li Zhong was dead, it really shocked many people.
For a moment, both sides temporarily stopped and looked out of the house.
Soon, the crowd dispersed, and a majestic man in a white python robe walked in with his hands behind his back, and it was Liu Xi.
After Liu Xi came in, his eyes swept over the field first, and when he saw Li Zhong's headless corpse in the living room, a touch of imperceptible joy suddenly flashed in his eyes, and then he looked at Zhao Jingzhong and the others, and asked:
"Zhao Jingzhong, your brothers and sisters teamed up with Jinyiwei to commit the following crimes, and they brutalized the deputy governor, can you be convicted?!"
Zhao Jingzhong's face was gloomy, how could he not know Liu Xi's plan now, stared at Liu Xi, and said: "Liu Xi, you gelding, you dare to calculate me?!" ”
"Gelding? Say it as if you're not. ”
Liu Xi sneered and said: "It's just that you want to kill Li Zhong yourself, and it also involves Jinyiwei, this seat depends on how you explain, you don't have a brain, no wonder this seat." ”
Zhao Jingzhong gritted his teeth and said: "You want to take advantage of me to kill Li Zhong, and then use this as an excuse to come out and pick up the cheap, don't think about it!" ”
"Do it, kill him!"
Snort –
As soon as the words fell, Zhao Jingzhong's figure flashed, and he stabbed at Liu Xi with a shot, without the slightest intention of leaving his hand.
He admitted that he had indeed underestimated Liu Xi before, but as long as he killed Liu Xi, everything was still within his plan!
Seeing this, Lu Wenzhao and the others frowned, but at this moment, it is indeed difficult to ride a tiger, once this matter spreads, none of them can afford the crime of mutilating the deputy superintendent of Dongchang, so they can only go one way to the dark.
"Up!"
With a shout, Lu Wenzhao and the four of them also made a move.
"A school of miscellaneous fish, beyond their means!"
Looking at the few people who rushed towards him, Liu Xi showed disdain, and then his eyes were full of murderous intent, and the huge true qi on his body instantly bloomed, attached to his palms, and blasted out towards the front palm.
Boom Boom –
In an instant, the green bricks exploded, and the attacks of Zhao Jingzhong and others hit Liu Xi's body, but instead of penetrating Liu Xi's body, they were instantly shocked out by a terrifying force.
Everyone was amazed.
"You broke through the Grandmaster?!"
Zhao Jingzhong said in shock, his eyes staring at the milky white halo that was wrapped around Liu Xi's body.
True Qi is separated from the body and turned into a protective body, which can only be done by the Grandmaster realm!
Liu Xi chuckled: "Do you think that our family is like a waste like you, and a little hole card will be revealed in the eyes of others?" If it weren't for the scruples of Wan Yulou over the years, it would be as simple as pinching you to death as pinching an ant! A dog raised by Wei Zhongxian back then also deserves to climb on our head, phew! What the hell! ”
Zhao Jingzhong's face was ugly, but his heart was extremely heavy, between the innate and the grandmaster, it was a moat, difficult to cross.
Since Liu Xi has broken through the Grandmaster, it is difficult to predict life and death today.
But at this moment, he also had no way back.
If you don't kill Liu Xi, he will be the one who dies!
"Do it!"
"If we don't kill him, we'll all die!"
With a loud shout, Zhao Jingzhong's whole body internal force gathered on the spear, rushed out, and rushed towards Liu Xi again.
Wei Ting and Lu Wenzhao did not hesitate, clenched their weapons, and attacked at the same time.
Bang bang bang......
In the face of the siege of the six congenital masters, Liu Xi was still not afraid, his bearing was indifferent, he advanced and retreated to a certain extent, and he had the protection of his body and strength, Zhao Jingzhong and others could not break Liu Xi's defense in a short period of time.
On the contrary, Zhao Jingzhong and the others couldn't get close to Liu Xi's body at all, and they didn't dare to accept Liu Xi's attack hard, and they were afraid to fight.
In the blink of an eye, the two sides exchanged dozens of rounds, and the situation was extremely intense.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, Zhao Jingzhong was in a hurry, attracted by a flaw deliberately exposed by Liu Xi, and took the initiative to get close to Liu Xi's body protection, but who knew that Liu Xi was hit in the chest with a palm, vomiting blood and flying out.
"Poof......
Zhao Jingzhong's face turned pale in an instant, and he hurriedly used his internal force to stabilize his injuries.
Looking at the situation in the field, Zhao Jingzhong seemed to think of something, and hurriedly turned to look behind, only to see Ding Xiu carrying his Great Imperial Forest Saber, standing in place and watching the battle with great interest, without the slightest intention of interfering.
Zhao Jingzhong almost vomited blood again, and immediately shouted angrily: "Ding Xiu, you still don't make a move?!" ”
When Ding Xiu heard this, he glanced at him lazily and said, "Gonggong Zhao, the two hundred taels you gave me are just the price for killing Li Zhong, and now I will kill Li Zhong for you, you still have one hundred taels to pay, and if you want to deal with Liu Xi, this is another price." ”
Zhao Jingzhong is angry, are you in the eyes of money?
But at this moment, he really didn't dare to provoke Ding Xiu, so he immediately took out a bag of silver from his arms and threw it to Ding Xiu, saying, "It's all for you, kill Liu Xi for me!" ”
Ding Xiu checked the bag and nodded with satisfaction: "Deal!" ”
Bang Bang –
In the next second, the long knife suddenly came out of its sheath and slashed towards Liu Xi.
Seeing this, Zhao Jingzhong also temporarily suppressed his injuries, hurriedly clenched his spear, and took the opportunity to join the battlefield.
Ding Xiu's strength is the strongest among several people, and he may not be able to beat Liu Xi, the grandmaster, one-on-one, but in the innate realm, there is absolutely no one who is his opponent.
With the addition of Ding Xiu, the situation was reversed in an instant.
Because Ding Xiu's attack could already penetrate Liu Xi's body protection qi, Liu Xi's fists were invincible with four hands, and he was slashed in the chest by Ding Xiu for a while, and the body protection qi was broken, and a hideous opening instantly appeared on his chest.
Lu Wenzhao and the others seized the opportunity, took advantage of this gap, and rushed up, hitting Liu Xi with several attacks, Liu Xi suddenly screamed and flew out upside down.
"Who are you?!"
After stabilizing his figure, Liu Xi hurriedly clicked twice on his chest to stop the bleeding, and looked at the imposing Ding Xiu in shock and anger.
"Take people's money, eliminate disasters with people, and in the prodigal son Ding Xiu, I have seen Gonggong Liu."
Ding Xiu said with a smile.
Liu Xi gritted his teeth and said: "How much money Zhao Jingzhong gives you, our family will give you double, help me kill him!" ”
"I'm sorry, but I'm working ethically." Ding Xiu said with a smile.
Zhao Jingzhong and the others immediately breathed a sigh of relief, this person was both good and evil, and they were really worried that Ding Xiu would turn his head against them.
Liu Xi's face was gloomy, and he looked at Ding Xiu and said, "You will regret your choice!" ”
As he spoke, he shouted angrily: "Shoot!" ”
When the words fell, he stretched out his body again and attacked Zhao Jingzhong's seven people.
But this time, with him, there were also two masters of the innate realm!
Zhao Jingzhong's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly shouted: "Stop them!" ”
When the more than a dozen acquired martial artists who had been watching the battle from the side heard this, they immediately grabbed their weapons and rushed forward, but the others brought by Liu Xi's side also made a move, and the number was even more than Zhao Jingzhong's side.
Those two innate masters were not at all something that these acquired martial artists could stop, and they broke through the formation in the blink of an eye and joined the battlefield of Liu Xi and the others.
With the assistance of two innate martial artists, Liu Xi's pressure was greatly reduced, although he was injured, he was still extremely strong, and his true qi seemed to be endless, and in a moment, Zhao Jingzhong and the others were beaten and retreated.
"Ahh
Suddenly, Wei Ting, who was the weakest, was hit by Liu Xi, but before he could get out, a huge suction force suddenly came out of Liu Xi's palm, Wei Ting's face suddenly turned frightened, she felt that her internal force was forcibly sucked out of her body and poured into Liu Xi's body.
"Absorb the Dafa!"
Zhao Jingzhong and the others also changed drastically, and suddenly remembered that Liu Xi would be rumored to be a martial art that could absorb people's internal strength.
"Hahaha-"
Liu Xi laughed wildly, with Wei Ting's internal strength supplement, at this moment he felt that his true qi was recovering rapidly, and even the injuries he had suffered just now were slowly repairing.
"Interrupt him!"
Zhao Jingzhong shouted loudly, and hurriedly stepped forward with a gun, trying to interrupt Liu Xi's absorption.
But Lu Wenzhao and Shen Lian were dragged by two innate masters under Liu Xi, and the remaining four were shocked and flew out as soon as they made a move, and they couldn't get close at all in a short time, so they could only watch Liu Xi recover his true qi and injuries with the help of Wei Ting's internal force.
"Hahaha!"
Liu Xi looked up to the sky and laughed: "Just with you waste, you dare to go against our family, you ......"
Boom –
Before the words fell, a violent energy came from behind him, Liu Xi's face changed slightly, he subconsciously retracted his strength, turned around and blasted out with a palm.
The two palms were facing each other, Liu Xi's body trembled, and he retreated a few steps with a puff, and as soon as he stabilized his body, he felt a sweet throat, but he was forced back, and then immediately looked up and looked ahead.
I saw a young man who was the same as him, also wearing a silver-white python robe, but so handsome that he didn't speak, with innate majesty and domineering in his indifferent eyes, and his bearing was very extraordinary.
"Yuhuatian?!"
Liu Xi's face changed drastically.
…
