Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Compared with the deep-rooted various sects, gangs and family forces, whether it is the express order of the government or the deterrence of the garrison, it is not so effective, but this does not mean that the imperial court will let it go, and there will naturally be other ways if it does not directly intervene.
The Shadow Shirt Guard is a spy agency established by the Great Qian Dynasty at the beginning of its establishment to supervise the situation in the rivers and lakes. From the beginning of its establishment, this institution has been extremely low-key and mysterious, directly responsible to the Son of Heaven alone, but it has great autonomy, which is essentially different from the eunuch, a pure slave of the Son of Heaven. Some people say that this shadow guard is just a group of eagle dogs, just for the heavenly family to inquire about some news about the rivers and lakes to monitor the movements of the family, and some people say that this shadow guard is actually very powerful, and the ups and downs on the rivers and lakes are almost all controlled by him in secret, no matter what, in the past few decades, all kinds of rumors of large and small fiction and reality have been passed on by word of mouth, and have given this name a sublime, mysterious and terrifying aura in the hearts of ordinary people in the hearts of ordinary rivers and lakes.
As a wild Taoist who wandered at the lowest level of the rivers and lakes, in the face of such a mysterious and high shadow, the Sanshan Daoist only felt a blank in his mind for a while, as if the other party's one look and one breath could make him crush his bones.
"Stupid pig, is he really him when he says he is?" "The shadow guard can be regarded as the Son of Heaven's personal soldiers, no matter which one of them is the best of the thousands of people chosen, where is this kid's sneaky and despicable means? Behind the scenes, those who act secretively and unusually are usually the remnants of the Demon Sect!"
Being reminded by this, Sanshan Dao suddenly woke up, as if it did make some sense. This Xiningzi calls himself a disciple of Maoshan. And it seems that this identity is not fake, but his actions are completely contrary, plotting against the same sect and the predecessors of Longhu Mountain, and he really looks like the remnants of the legendary demon gate.
"Nonsense~!I think you look like a person in the Demon Gate!My shadow guard acts for a reason, what do you know about people like Jianghu?" Xiningzi snorted coldly, and slapped his palm on the face of the Flying Dragon Daoist.
Sanshan Dao hurriedly raised his hand to block, but Xiningzi's shot was just a false move. After attracting his opponent, his back hand immediately followed, and he advanced sideways with an elbow strike, but his own footsteps were also very vain. This subtle trick was only halfway done before it was deformed, and it turned into a sideways collision with the Wyvern Daoist. The Flying Dragon Daoist was unsteady under his feet and was knocked backwards, and at the same time, he reached out and twisted Xiningzi, and the two rolled on the ground. Scuffle like those ruffians who don't know kung fu at all.
"Stop! Stop! Otherwise, I'll destroy both of you together!" stepped forward and kicked and stepped on to separate the two. In the past, he was scolded by others, but at this time, he was the only one who could use the talisman in his hand, but he became the one who controlled the situation.
The Flying Dragon Dao man's eyes were already bruised, and his nosebleed was also beaten, and he looked like a wolf was unbearable, so he got up and yelled at the Sanshan Dao man: "Are you fucking stupid? I don't know what to do at this time? Why don't you get rid of this person quickly? Do you have to wait for the rest of the Tang family to arrive?"
Xiningzi's bun was pulled apart, and he also received a heavy punch on his mouth, and his mouth skin turned up and swelled. But the anxiety in my heart is a hundred times greater than that of this outward wolf. During the scuffle just now, the short needle between his fingers no longer knew where to lose. Originally, he wanted to use that to stab the Flying Dragon Dao person, or the Sanshan Dao person who came to stop him when he saw the opportunity. No matter which of these two people falls, he will win, who knows that the Flying Dragon Dao people actually seem to see his intentions at a glance, and they hold his hand and don't let go, and they don't know where to get it between scuffles.
His preparation was not sufficient, at least he didn't expect it to be like this, the short needle used for secret calculations was already his last hole card, and now there was no means to rely on. After he heard the roar of the Flying Dragon Daoist, he also understood that the current shape of the Three Mountains Dao people had become the most critical point, and hurriedly said: "Three Mountain Dao Chief, as long as you help my shadow guard today, I will be grateful afterwards." With our power, money and money are not a problem, even if you are allowed to get a famous background, it will be easy to do it! When the time comes, how can such a vulgar and stupid wild Taoist priest dare to speak loudly when he sees you?"
As soon as he heard this, the eyes of the Sanshan Daoist couldn't help but subconsciously light up, silver and sect origin are always the most attractive things for ordinary wild Taoist priests, believe it or not is another matter, but when you hear these things, your eyes will indeed light up instinctively.
The Flying Dragon Dao people were not afraid of the rebellion of the Three Mountain Dao people at all, but laughed: "This demon sect cub is playing you like a monkey." Drawing a big pie with empty vernacular will make you go crazy with him. ”
Sanshan Daoren thought about it, but gritted his teeth, and said to Xiningzi: "You said that you are a shadow guard, but do you have any evidence? ”
"This" Xiningzi was stunned, he really didn't have it yet. "I'm actually not an official shadow guard, and now I'm just helping the shadow guard, and I don't have an identity nameplate. But if this matter is done, maybe you can become a real shadow guard."
When the Flying Dragon Daoist heard this, he immediately shouted at the Sanshan Dao people: "Are you fucking crazy? Really listen to the crazy words of this demon sect cub, how can the people of the Shadow Guard sneak in to plot against Zhang Senior? Zhang is the elder brother of Zhang Yuhong, the real person of the Demon Lord! Zhang Zhenren is the name of the Son of Heaven, and the Shadow Guard is no more than the Eagle Dog of the Son of Heaven, how can he still damage the face of the Son of Heaven? Behind the Righteous Dao Alliance is the Nangong family, and some people in the Nangong family are well known to the head of the Shadow Guard! This Righteous Path Alliance is clearly made by the Shadow Guard. We have caught the evidence of the indiscriminate killing of innocents in the Shenji Hall today, and it is too late for the Righteous Path Alliance to be happy, if he is the Shadow Guard, how can he plot against us?
"This is this," the Sanshan Dao people only heard dizzy. This Flying Dragon Daoist's words contain a lot of content, and he also speaks a little incoherently. It really knocked him out.
"Ignorant, what do you know?" Xiningzi was also anxious and faint when he heard this, the current situation was that it would be more dangerous if he delayed for a few more moments. "I'm just here to capture this Qingfeng Dao person! It was Lord Nangong who ordered this person to be captured alive. It's just that it was difficult to do it for some reasons before, so I arranged for him to come here and wait for the opportunity to arrest him. It was just an accident to meet this old man. This old man's identity is special, and it is useful at this time, if he can be assassinated and then blamed on the Shenji Hall and the Tang Gate, it will be of great help to the future plans of the shadow guard. I couldn't help but make a plot by the way. Sanshan Dao Chief, the shadow guard has always been grateful to those who have helped him, don't hesitate any longer!"
"I, I" Sanshan Daoist was completely dizzy, looking left and right. With panicked faces, the two of them burst out of the world one after another. If he could, he really wanted to turn around and leave. I don't care about this at all.
"Nothing to hesitate about. Even if you really help this Xiningzi Daoist, he will quietly kill you, first, you have no foundation yourself, and after you get through this difficulty, it will be completely useless to this Xiningzi Daoist. On the contrary, there is a risk of leakage. Second, since he wants to make meritorious contributions to the film guard. Naturally, I will not allow you to have a helper who may share the credit of him. Although it is very important to walk the rivers and lakes to protect oneself and seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, it is not to blindly tend to the flames and attach the situation to the strong, but to know where you should be in the first place. ”
"Reasonable, that's right!" Hearing these words, the people of Sanshan Dao nodded again and again, and they had a sense of enlightenment. Then he realized that it was not the Flying Dragon Daoist who spoke, and he followed the voice and looked over, just in time to see Xiao Xia on the ground sitting up.
"Huh??Huh??How is it possible??" Xiningzi also heard it and saw it. The face that had been pale was now almost transparent.
"Thank you Feilong Daoist for helping me talk, otherwise it wouldn't be so easy for me to tell the truth. Xiao Xia arched his hand to the Flying Dragon Daoist first. Then he looked at Xiningzi and sighed. "Xiningzi Daoyou, I really underestimated you. Originally, I thought you were just thinking about joining the excitement of the young heroes of the Righteous Dao Alliance, but you found the way of the shadow guard. That's right, how can those young men have the weight of shadow guards. ”
"How is it possible, how is it possible, he said that this is the secret anesthetic of the Tang Sect, even if it is a congenital master, it can be caught by hand" Xiningzi's whole body was already sifting chaff.
Xiao Xia nodded, sighed and said, "That's right, the medicine on this needle is indeed domineering enough, even the old Zhang seniors who have reached the innate realm of Dao Law can't stand it, and I definitely have no fun." It's a pity, I don't know if the person who gave you this injection wanted to hide it or just for convenience, and used the poison of the Tang family, and the craftsman we had to face before was also from the Tang family, unfortunately, I had a friend of the Tang family, who once gave me some antidotes that could solve most of the poisons of the Tang family, and when I came here, I first took some Although the anesthetic on the needle was completely ineffective, it was still okay for the poison to slowly fade away."
Xiao Xia looked at Xiningzi, who was already sluggish and lifeless like a dead man, and said very sincerely: "I haven't been plotted against for some years, and I can't imagine that I can experience it again today." Speaking of which, Brother Xiningzi Dao, I still have to thank you, your hands and feet reminded me, and what I said just now also made me understand a lot of things, but I still have some confusion, I don't know if I can give advice?"
###
"You turned out that you were my second uncle's person?"
Looking at the black token in Li Shishi's hand, Nangong Tong opened his mouth and stammered. Of course, he knew the weight of this token, even if he was a subordinate of Nangong Wuji, it didn't mean that this was the person the Nangong family could instruct. Every shadow guard represents a force in the rivers and lakes of the shadow shirt guard and even the Daqian court, and every shadow guard is a talent who is selected by thousands of people, and the royal guards who are qualified to meet the Son of Heaven are said to be more powerful and have a higher status than him as a child of the Nangong family.
And the identity of each shadow guard is an absolute secret to outsiders, so even Nangong Tong never knew the identity of any shadow guard, and he never even thought that there would be such a person by his side.
Tang Jianyu, who was not far away, looked at the black token that represented his identity, but he didn't show any special attention, but just said lightly: "Since you have revealed your identity." Then you should say the words of the shadow guard, and less of the tone of the Jianghu people. The Tang family never looks at other people's faces. I don't think Nangong Wuji will think that just relying on face can make us give in. ”
Li Shishi withdrew his waist card and said in a slumber voice: "Lord Wuji asked me to take care of the affairs of the Zhengdao Alliance. There is also the need to protect the safety of Brother Nangong This time it was my mission that failed, and I didn't realize that Master Zeng Jiuwen Hall had found a way to cross all the intermediate links and contact Brother Nangong directly, or it was possible that he guessed that there would be shadow guards among us, so the responsibility for this conflict is all ours. Li Shishi glanced at the young heroes of the Righteous Dao Alliance who were falling all over the ground, and his eyes were slightly gloomy. "These fellow Jianghu are all because of the mistakes in our plan of the Righteous Dao Alliance, and they were killed by firearms in the fire fight with the Shenji Hall, and it is not the Tang family's business. ”
"What do you mean?" Nangong Tong was stunned. These people just fell to the ground. Only one or two were killed by the cones, the others were seriously wounded, and those who fell to the ground with the needles seemed to have only passed out. But Li Shishi seemed to think that these people were dead.
"It's not enough. Tang Jianyu smiled coldly. "Master Zeng decided to defect, although it is true that my Tang family itself is not optimistic about people, but to make such a big fuss about this matter is caused by the same hand of this Nangong. Other words. It was his hand that made the first move. My Tang family has never provoked others lightly. But if others dare to provoke us, then we must not take it lightly. The conditions for me to stop are up to you. ”
Li Shishi said with a sad face: "But Lord Wuji is not in Jingzhou now."
"I know. As long as you say what Nangong Wuji means, this is enough, as for what specific concessions should be made for this shadow guard, we will wait for him to come and talk to us. Tang Jianyu took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out a pill and shook it gently, and the pill the size of his little finger slowly flew in front of Li Shishi. "The righteous path alliance you have made must have a face, and I don't bother to detain people. I know that Nangong Wuji will not pay his debts, but he still has to have the attitude he should have. Let that kid eat this Qingwang Gu and leave. Let Nangong Wuji come to Tangjiabao to get the antidote. ”
Li Shishi took the pill and brought it to Nangong Tong, and Nangong Tong's face was as white as paper. He didn't see it until he got closer. It wasn't a medicine at all, but a small cyan worm curled up with a thin layer of transparent wax on the outside.
"Wait a minute. Nangong Tong took a few steps back, covered in cold sweat. It wasn't all because he was frightened by the bug, but more because he hadn't recovered from the shock he had ever had. Just now, he was still the master of the situation in his hands, but after only a few breaths, he became a poor worm who could only survive by relying on the help of others to intercede. Nei Ying, who thought that he had made great contributions once and for all, had become a pile of wreckage crawling with insects, and all the fellow Daoists gathered by the Righteous Dao Alliance were lying there, and the friends who had always been by his side turned out to be an identity that was far from his control, and these qiē came too quickly and suddenly, and he couldn't accept it at all.
"Brother Nangong, the matter has come to this, please be wronged for the time being. Li Shishi raised his hand and handed the little worm in front of him. Most of his face was covered by the dirt armor, and he couldn't see his current expression, only the exhaustion that his voice couldn't say. "I was also too careless to notice when you had a private contact with Zeng Jiuwen. After coming here, I didn't want to reveal my identity, and I hoped that there would be no core person of the Tang family here, so that you and Zeng Jiuwen could really succeed, and then slowly remedy it afterwards."
"How can it be that he will do whatever he says?" Nangong Tong finally found out what he should have, and shouted hoarsely. "How can he, the Tang family, treat my Nangong family, and the various factions and families behind these young heroes as nothing? Could it be that the shadow guard, the imperial court, is there nothing that can be done about their Tang family in this world? Miss Mingyue, you go quickly! Tell the others what happened here! Even if I die today, I will not lose the face of my Nangong family! I don't believe that Tang Jiabao can really cover the sky with one hand!"
"You'd better listen to them. Mingyue, who had never taken the initiative to express her position, actually spoke, but her cold words directly shattered Nangong Tong's fighting spirit and spirit that she had just inspired. "This person is very powerful, I saved you just now because Daoist Xia once said, let me help you when you are in danger, but if this person really wants to arrest you or kill you, I won't care. ”
"I, I am" Nangong Tong stammered, if it weren't for the demeanor of the children of the family who had already been integrated into his bones, he would almost be able to cry. The fundamental purpose of his doing this qiē is actually to be able to get closer to the girl of Mingyue, and he can take the opportunity to show that he is not chaotic, he is in the chest, and he has the demeanor of commanding Ruoding, and even Zeng Jiuwen missed it, so he expected that in the next crisis, fighting side by side, advancing and retreating together is an opportunity that can be encountered but not sought, but now it is completely different from what he expected.
"Didn't you expect this to be the result? Looking at Nangong Tong who was at a loss, Tang Jianyu couldn't help but have a look of disgust and anger on his face, just like the child next door who was rushing in indiscriminately disrupted the work at hand, even if he had already caught someone, his parents would immediately come to compensate and apologize, but he was still in a bad mood. "Do you think that the battle between the rivers and lakes is just like you are playing some small tricks like you are doing today, colluding with a few internal responses on the other side, and finding some people to be strong, but if you can't do it, you just have to compare whose fists are bigger than those on both sides? That's right, the rivers and lakes are like this, but the rivers and lakes of those country gangs of the Tiger Hall Blood Soul Gang or something, not our rivers and lakes, not the families that have been dominant for a hundred years, and the rivers and lakes that represent the shadow guards of the Great Qian's court. If Zeng Jiuwen scolded those mechanics before, he could also return them to you as they were, but you were just a frog at the bottom of the well. Our Tang family has always been conservative, but now we are cooperating with the Shenjitang in the face of the world's disapproval, why do you think it is? The imperial court ordered the firearms organs to be taken over by the government, but this order has not been issued for a long time, why do you think this is? What do you think you mean by this righteous path alliance? You dare to come nonsense like this, do you know the consequences of such nonsense?"
"Nangong Wuji protects you juniors, and you will obediently be your gentlemen in the wine pond and meat forest, and live a chaotic life, but you have to run out without knowing the depth and show your face, and lead this righteous path alliance to be in the limelight. This righteous path alliance was originally just a tool used by Nangong Wuji to test the attitudes of all parties, and it could only be regarded as a prologue at the beginning of his plan, and many arrangements, games, and secret hands were far from being in place, so you dared to tear your face directly like this, did you really dare to do it when I was the Tang family? As long as we want, even if it is your Nangong family, even if it is Longhu Mountain, except for those few leaders, we can make you die without leaving you believe it or not?"
Speaking of this time, Tang Jianyu's voice was already indescribably cold and fierce, and the muscles and muscles on the face that originally looked thick twitched, and it was like two people from before. Then he let out a long sigh, as if the anger held in his chest had finally been vented, and his voice and expression slowly flattened: "Of course, it is impossible to completely tear your face and move your hands. We don't want to, Nangong Wuji is unwilling, and no one is willing at all, making a mess of this big mess can only cheapen the Sidi barbarians. So no matter what he wants, what our Tang family wants, we can only test each other step by step according to everyone's default rules, game, and exchange, just like a master game, this is the work of the world. And you still think that winning or losing is to smash each other with chess pieces. It's just that you can save your life because you have two good uncles, but the price they have to pay for you is not cheap. ”
Nangong stood there stupidly, not knowing whether he heard or not, whether he understood or not, like a puppet, let Li Shishi feed the little worm in his hand into his mouth.
"Okay, you can take him with you, I'll take care of the aftermath myself, get out. Tang Jianyu tilted his head at Li Shishi, then turned his gaze to Mingyue's body, and hesitated slightly.
Without waiting for Tang Jianyu to speak, Mingyue spoke first: "If you have anything to say, just say it, from the beginning when you see me, you have something to say to me." ”
"That's right. Miss Mingyue is really like a rumored heart, like a mirror, and she is wise. Tang Jianyu smiled slightly. "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's my old lady who said, if you have the opportunity, be sure to ask Miss Mingyue to go to my Tangjiabao line, there is an old man who wants to see you."
