Volume 1: The Storm Rises in the Western Regions Chapter 148 The Sect Master's Gift

Archie had fallen very hard just now, otherwise the dagger would not have completely sunk into his heart.

When the small porcelain vase hit the ground, it collided violently with the ground and shattered. Even if you pick it up, you can't put it back together.

As for this person who is sighing and picking up broken porcelain pieces, Zhao Rang is very familiar and not stranger at all!

"How ...... this man?"

Yuan Mingkong was halfway through speaking, but he didn't continue.

"Why does this man look so much like a eunuch?"

Zhao Rang helped Yuan Mingkong finish speaking, Yuan Mingkong looked at him in surprise, and asked:

"You think so, too?"

Zhao Rang smiled helplessly and twisted his somewhat stiff neck:

"You forgot where you got those two portraits?"

Of course, Yuan Mingkong can't forget it.

He and Zhao Rang were in the clothing estimation shop, and they looked at the two portraits in the brocade box, and they were poisoned because of it. If it weren't for the pool of blood on his body, which could calm his mind, the two of them would probably have died in the phantom array......

In the final analysis, Yuan Mingkong felt that all the follow-up was because of these two portraits.

But there is no point in saying this now...... One of the people in the portrait is dead.

"You said that the portrait was brought back from Lotus Alley, and the bearded man told you to go there."

Hearing Yuan Mingkong say this, Zhao Rang picked his head, thought about it carefully, and couldn't tell whether he said it or not.

"He gave me the portrait."

Zhao Rang pointed to Manager Li, who was still picking up broken porcelain pieces, and said.

"He's a former eunuch?"

Yuan Mingkong asked.

This statement is much more elegant than Zhao Rang, but in the final analysis, it all means the same thing.

"Hey, hey! Or are you sensible! ”

Mr. Li held a blue-pink handkerchief in one hand, carrying the broken porcelain piece he had just collected in it, and pinched the lotus finger in the other hand, and walked in front of Zhao Rang and Yuan Mingkong with a twist. 1

"It's not like you, it's vulgar! I didn't see it when I played the hidden hook, I knew that you were like this, and it was not uncommon for our family to play with you at all! ”

was told by a rootless person for no reason, and Zhao Rang was angry.

Former eunuch ...... Yuan Mingkong, the good and dignified Seven Princes, why did he respect these eunuchs of the former dynasty so much? The reason why the previous dynasty died, these eunuchs did not contribute less! Therefore, the founding monarch of Dawei set a rule that no eunuchs can exist in the palace or in the palace, which can be regarded as a complete abolition of the profession of eunuchs.

"Manager Li, if you want to talk like this, then we have to be reasonable!"

Zhao Rang said in the tone of Manager Li.

Manager Li sneered and said:

"Ouch! You kid still want to reason with me? I'll tell you, here I am the reason! ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Rang and Yuan Mingkong suddenly fell silent.

Mr. Li obviously had something to say.

"Here he is the reason."

Could it be that the sect leader who turned the Western Regions upside down turned out to be a former eunuch who was neither male nor female?

Zhao Rang did not accept this in any case...... Whether it is from the perspective of appearance or temperament, Manager Li is too far from the sect leader he thinks.

"What do you think? Aren't you going to reason with us? Why don't you speak? ”

Zhao let Zhengtian and people fight, but Manager Li did not hesitate to ask.

"Chief Manager Li, or should I call you Sect Leader Li?"

Zhao Rang asked tentatively.

The identity of the Sect Master has always been a mystery, and no one has ever revealed it.

Amani and Red had been in the hall for so long, but they hadn't said anything about the Master.

Thinking about it this way, it is the most likely that the sect leader is the head of Li!

As a eunuch of the previous dynasty, he was purified since he was a child and sent to the palace, where he saw and listened a lot. Later, he worshiped the chief steward at that time as his godfather, and he was deeply liked and respected, and mastered many secrets of the inner court.

These were at the height of the dynasty and when the Ming monarchs came out in large numbers, they didn't show anything. But in the troubled times of the last years when almost everyone was exposed, it could be worth 100,000 swords and armor.

These eunuchs have long lost the joy of being a man, and they have put all their energy into other aspects, such as making money!

Three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver. And the eunuchs in the inner court are ahead of the emperor. Many things have not yet been seen by the emperor, and they are already on the table of his house. In other words, as long as you serve your master well and don't be so greedy when making money, those days will be much more comfortable than those of the prefects outside.

"Haha, we can see it. You kid, it's not vulgar, it's too tender! The tender ones can pinch out the water! ”

"It's different now! If you put it in the past, our family will throw you into that nest, and after you keep it, you can see that it is accurate, and every word you say can go to people's hearts! ”

Zhao Rang heard this, coupled with the appearance of Manager Li, who was neither male nor female, and suddenly felt his stomach tumbling, nauseous and wanted to vomit......

But he couldn't really spit it out.

These old eunuchs are the last ones. The body is incomplete, and the brain is also perverted. There are no worries, let them act in an extremely ruthless and insidious manner, and three sentences can dig a hundred pits to push you to jump in!

"Isn't this place still there?"

"It's been a long time! If you have the heart, you can go get one. If I got it right, I might as well consider not killing you! ”

Manager Li said with a smile.

Zhao Rang asked:

"Isn't it Lotus Lane?"

Manager Li frowned and said with disgust:

"Is that a place a place?"

"Come, come and see!"

After that, he couldn't help but let Zhao Rang walk to the edge of the water pavilion.

"Come and see!"

Zhao Rang couldn't resist him, and Manager Li's voice was sharp and high, so it was really uncomfortable to hear, so he had to go to the place he pointed out and look out.

"It's on fire!"

In the direction pointed by Mr. Li, the smoke billowed straight into the night, and the flames that kept rising tore a hole in the night.

Many people on the street rushed to tell each other and tried to put out the fire, but all of them were stopped by the heavily armored sergeants and could not get closer.

"See, that place won't exist after tonight!"

Mr. Li smiled proudly, this kind of chaos can give him great happiness and satisfaction.

"You burned Lotus Alley?"

Although Zhao Rang didn't know the way, he could also know from Manager Li's expression that the place where the fire caught fire was the Lotus Lane in the Northwest Market.

In Lotus Lane, there are not only these old and young people who were exiled from the previous dynasty, but also many poor people in the royal city. Zhao Rang remembered the stall at the mouth of the alley, the children who led him the way, and the old gentleman who wrote letters during the day and sold clay figures at night.

The heavily armored sergeant stopped the firefighters, and certainly wouldn't let them escape from the fire.

I don't know how many innocent people will be burned to death in this fire!

"Boy, don't look at me like that, I'm not afraid of retribution!"

Manager Li said, and reached out and grabbed his crotch.

According to Dawei, people with physical deficiencies do not even have the opportunity to be reincarnated after death.

When a man has no fear of death, he does not have the luxury of being kind to the living.

Zhao Rang stared at this face and felt that this should be the appearance of the eighteen-layer region.

He took half a step back very vaguely, so that Manager Li was just a knife away from him.

Mr. Li looked at Zhao Rang quietly and didn't move.

Suddenly, Zhao Rang pulled out the black steel knife and slashed at Manager Li's neck without warning.

It doesn't matter if he's the head of the Cult of God or not, or what he's done before. This fire alone is enough to conclude that he is a man full of evil. Even if he couldn't get out of this water pavilion today, Zhao Rang would kill him.

After the knife was cut, there was still blood on the blade.

Zhao Rang shook slightly, and a series of blood beads rolled from the knife to the ground.

But there was no trace of joy on his face.

Because Mr. Li was still standing there with his head firmly on his neck.

It's just that between him and Zhao Rang, there are three more corpses. 1

Two of their heads were cut off by Qi Gen, and one had half of his neck cut off, leaving some flesh and skin to join.

When Zhao Rang's blade was about to touch Manager Li's neck, three sturdy men suddenly rushed over desperately and stood straight in front of Manager Li.

Zhao Rang's knife was already covered with water, even if he didn't want to, but there was no way.

But these three people were begging for death, facing Zhao Rang's blade, and took the initiative to send their necks up.

In the end, Zhao Rang did not kill the people who killed each other, but killed three innocent people.

"You can get away with it yourself, why do you want them to die for you?"

Zhao Rang's throat was dry, making his voice sound particularly desolate.

"Their lives have long been ours, and our family can let them die anytime and anywhere!"

"But...... If you didn't go to the knife just now, wouldn't the three of them have died? ”

"I complained with a righteous face that our family set fire, but I killed three people as soon as I took out the knife. What's the difference between you and our family? ”

After that, Manager Li waved his hand, and the rest of the strong men all surrounded him.

"What do you want to do, old yin and yang man?!"

Ximen Dazhuang was furious, afraid that Manager Li would take advantage of the large number of people to blackmail Zhao Rang.

But before he could fully stand up, he was pressed by a jade hand with slender fingers on his shoulder.

When the huge force came, Simon Dazhuang was in pain, and his knees, which had not yet been straightened, bent down again, and sat back on the chair.

"Don't make trouble, little fat man!"

The person who shot it was none other than Hongjiang.

Ximen Dazhuang couldn't understand how she could reach out and hold her shoulder when she was half a foot away from him.

Although the strong men came over, they didn't do anything to Zhao Rang. Each of them is deaf and dumb, and can only act according to gestures.

When everyone came around, Manager Li spoke:

"Since we're all the same people, we can always sit down and talk, right? After standing for so long, our family is a little tired. ”

Zhao Rangwu was stubborn and ignored Mr. Li's words.

After such a delay, Manager Li made a gesture to wipe the neck of a sturdy man next to him.

Without saying a word, the man took out a short knife from his waist, slit his throat on the spot, and fell to the ground clutching his neck, convulsing incessantly......

"You ......"

It's not for nothing that there are people who put a knife on his neck to force him, but this is the first time Zhao Rang has encountered such a person who uses the lives of others to force him to submit!

"Would you like to sit down and talk now?"

Zhao Rang gritted his teeth and squeezed one out of his teeth; The word "good".

Hearing Zhao Rang's promise, Manager Li waved his hand with a smile, and the group of strong men immediately dispersed and returned to their original positions.

As for the corpses on the ground, no one came to collect them.

"Manager Li, I also agreed to sit down and talk, do you want to let those four people settle down?"

Zhao Rang was very unhappy about the death of the four strong men.

They had their eardrums pierced and their tongues cut out, and it was pitiful enough...... Now he lost his life in such a mess.

"Someone will clean it up!"

Mr. Li picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

His teacup is for his own use.

The person who served him tea, Zhao Rang didn't pay attention at first, until he noticed that this person seemed to be smiling at him, he didn't look up.

"Zhang San?!"

"Master, do you drink tea?"

Zhang San's words did not change from before, but there was no previous flattery and panic in his tone and expression.

"Hahaha!"

Zhao Rang laughed and said:

"Drink! You've asked, wouldn't it be too bad to give you face if you don't drink! ”

Zhang San should get down and turn around to make tea.

Mr. Li's eyes once again showed pride and satisfaction, exactly the same as the look he had when he saw the fire in Lotus Alley just now.

He was very satisfied with Zhao Rang's current chaotic state, so he did not call Zhao Rang for the first time, but called him Zhao Gongzi.

"Zhao Gongzi, do you know why the sect leader invited you to the banquet?"

Zhao Rang glanced at Manager Li and said:

"Manager Li can make decisions for the sect leader, and he still needs to ask the kid me?"

Manager Li touched his chin, which did not have a beard, measured his head slightly, and said to Hongjiang and Amani behind him:

"Go, bring me the Master's gift."

When Hong Jiang and Amani heard Manager Li's arrangement, they immediately went to do it. Zhao Rang looked at the backs of the two, and always felt an indescribable awkwardness.

There should be many unusual things between them and Manager Li, and even hatred may not be true.

Temporary interests can only bring them together temporarily, and such alliances are extremely fragile. The slightest tilt of the balance will allow them to begin to disintegrate from within.

"Let's open it and take a look."

After a while, Hongjiang and Amani gave each of them a brocade box with everyone's name written on it.

"It's really hard to figure out what the sect leader does. There is no title on the invitation and no payment, but the name of the gift is written on the outside of the box! ”

Mr. Li patiently explained:

"The words on the invitation are all the same mold, but the gift is different for everyone, of course, the name must be written clearly!"

Zhao Rang asked:

"Everyone's gift is different?"

Manager Li nodded and said:

"Yes, the sect leader specially prepared, everyone is different."

Zhao Rang sighed and said: 166

"Then I don't want it anymore! Everyone has a different gift, and I definitely don't like it. ”

Manager Li was lifted by Zhao Rangqi's nose, and asked with a sharp voice:

"You didn't even open it to see, how do you know you don't like it?"

Zhao Rang said calmly:

"The last time I opened such a brocade box, I almost lost my life. Manager Li, since you can make decisions for the sect leader, then you will be happy. Don't let me watch a fire for a while, and open a brocade box for a while! ”1
