Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Killing Intent Fades
Unexpectedly, Kong Ti just looked at him quietly, and the posture of sitting on his knees did not move at all, seeing this situation, Deng Yuzi slightly restrained his already ready Hao Bogang's strength, since the other party did not react, he did not have to be too serious.
Kong Ti suddenly smiled, this expression made Deng Yuzi feel extremely surprised.
"You are despicable, but you are not shameless to the extreme, you have withdrawn your strength because you feel that our current situation is not equal, you don't want me to feel that you are facing a great enemy, which means that you still want to save face. ”
"Stupid! I retract my strength because I don't want to waste my strength and face in vain? Meaningless things, this kind of thing will not bring me any practical use in the time of life and death! Huainan Kongti, we are all seventy or eighty people, can you stop telling such boring jokes all the time?"
"You just want face! I've found out. Kong Ti's expression was very calm, it didn't look like he was facing his enemy, "It's not for the sake of face, you won't be here tonight, what is that...... I know the allusion of the Mo family, the Moment Order is just a bronze medal, what is the practical use of you, a killer who will do anything to achieve his goals?"
"When people are old, there is a lot of nonsense, come! Do you want to do it?" Deng Yuzi did not refute again, but when he spoke, it seemed that the killing intent in his heart was not so strong.
"Well, I'll admit it. Kong Ti clapped his hands and stood up from the eaves, this action caused Deng Yuzi's concentration to be vigilant, but he soon found that Kong Ti looked in the other direction--- the direction where the man of the cadre and the yellow dog who could speak human words had gone.
"When I first arrived here, I wished I could have killed you right away, and I think I would have liked to see your head cut off by my sword, but at least this state of mind has changed a little now......" Kong Ti turned his head and looked at Deng Yuzi's face, "...... I don't really want to kill you anymore. ”
Like me, Deng Yuzi said in his heart, but he didn't react in any way, and his eyes met Deng Yuzi for a moment.
"After seeing this weirdness, and hearing about these weird things, I think it was like a reminder that I could do something more meaningful first. It's that weird...... The last time we had a confrontation was in Guangliang City, do you remember? That white-clothed immortal chief? At that time, I was also not so murderous and resolute. ”
"Are you saying that the eccentric makes you ignore your hatred?" Deng Yuzi said coldly, but the copper-patterned ancient sword in his hand drooped inadvertently.
"It's a reminder of a new crisis, so that I have to put my personal grievances behind me first, you are vile and disgusting, but you are still a person, not the kind of cannibalistic thing. ”
"People eat people too, and sometimes it's even more brutal than that kind of thing......"
"You kill people, but at least you don't eat people, and I think it's still gratifying to think of that. ”
Deng Yuzi tilted his head to show his reaction to Kong Ti's words, and in silence, the copper-patterned ancient sword in his hand hung lower.
"I'm going to go to those people first, and I'm suddenly interested in seeing how this matter can be resolved. Kong Ti moved his fingers, and the knuckles of his bones rattled, "As for the grudge with you, I think there will always be a chance to resolve it in the future, I just hope you live long enough." ”
"Don't you plan to take revenge today?" Deng Yuzi sneered, "But you haven't thought about it, what if I want to kill you today in order to eliminate future troubles?"
"If I were you, I wouldn't say these nonsensical things to save face for yourself. Kong Ti didn't look at Deng Yuzi, and he didn't take this seemingly threatening word to heart at all, "You and I both know that in fact, we are not in the mood to fight today, I want to go with me to see those demon warriors, what about you?"
Deng Yuzi had to admit that Kong Ti was right, pushed the copper-patterned ancient sword into the scabbard at his waist, and pulled the hat that covered his face: "This kind of thing, Deng will not accompany him." ”
"I almost forgot, you still have to work for your master. Before Kong Ti was about to leave, he followed again, "Your junior brother is quite good, he can distinguish the priorities, oh, he seems to have said that your master has a problem, right?"
Deng Yuzi's heart was shocked, and he raised his head, but he heard the sound of the wind in his clothes, Kong Ti's green robe was fluttering, and he had already flown away, and the long sword behind him was particularly eye-catching.

"I only ask you, why didn't you return to me after you escaped death?"
Huan Da Sima was wearing a loose robe outside the silk shirt at the moment, and the whole person was a little more like a celebrity scholar, but the solemn expression on his face was still the same.
Pang Pu stood on the dark red floor of the dormitory, the bright moonlight reflected his back in a snowy light, and beside him stood the silent Yi Raccoon Dog, whose copper mask flickered with a strange light wave, which was the shadow of the flickering candles of the palace lamp. And outside the door of the dormitory, from time to time poked out the heads of several swordsmen, they were Zhai Peng, Yin Jing, Han Ni, and Zhuo Qiuyi, who were in charge of the guards, their faces were full of surprise and concern.
Pang Pu was only ten steps away from Da Sima, which was a position close enough, and it was also the honor that Da Sima gave to his confidants, but after Da Sima listened to Yi Raccoon's report, the first thing he asked was this sentence.
"For revenge...... Pang Pu almost blurted out, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't help it, he didn't want to expose his relationship with the Red Ink God Swordsman and the Yin family, and along the way, he had already made a plan.
Because the villain wants to find out the mastermind behind this matter with his own strength. Pang Pu said this later.
Da Sima looked at Pang Pu's gray cloth, shoddy shirt, and bare calves covered with dirt, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly: "Haven't you ever thought that with the help of my strength, you will get twice the result with half the effort?"
"It involves gods and ghosts, and the villain is afraid of Huan Gong...... Huan Gong was incredulous. Pang Pu's explanation is quite reasonable, every swordsman of the Gongfu knows that the Great Sima of the Dao is not a believer in ghosts and gods.
"Telling the truth is the right way, why bother with so many scruples. Huan Da Sima suddenly sighed, "You see that Yu Mei is not like you, as soon as she is rescued, she will return to my mansion with the demon warrior to explain this matter in detail." Maybe it was because he thought of the turmoil that had been set off after that, or maybe he thought of Mo Yumei's incense and jade death, and Huan Dasima fell into silent remembrance for a while.
Pang Pu didn't know at all, just lowered his head cautiously, waiting for Da Sima's next question.
Da Sima was only silent for a moment, and when he spoke again, his tone was already a little more resolute: "And what are you for...... Why do you think that those things that shouldn't exist in the world are behind the scenes? This kind of thought didn't seem to be mentioned by either Yu Mei or the Qianjia god who escorted her back. ”
"Everything must have cause and effect, cannibal ghost caves will not appear on our way for no reason, villains always feel that behind this matter, whoever benefits the most is most likely to be the mastermind behind the scenes......"
Pang Pu was about to tell the story, but Yi Raccoon finally couldn't help but interject: "Duke Huan, I want to ask, what ......is the matter of Mr. Xiahou" At the beginning, Yi Raccoon said that he had doubts about Xiahou Tong, but Huan Da Sima has not been noncommittal, this matter is the most important thing at the moment.
Huan Da Sima didn't show any surprise at all, glanced at Yi Raccoon lightly, and said in his usual tone: "You have handled this matter very well, well, the men and horses who conquered the Donghu Ghost Army have returned to the city, right? If Xiahou Dazi is really as you suspect, then leave it to this team to deal with...... Catch him alive as much as possible, and I'll ask him personally. ”
"No!" Yi Raccoon didn't delay at all, and immediately took the order, leaving only Da Sima and Pang Pu in the entire dormitory.
"I often say that there are infinite manpower, how can there be ghosts and gods to support it? However, after this accident of yours, more and more strange things have come one after another, it is unimaginable, you see, even a good man in the rivers and lakes I just appointed is also suspected of evil spirits. ”
"He's supposed to be a demon. Pang Pu said, attracting Huan Da Sima's long gaze at him.
"You're not the same as you used to be, Evil Bird, but anyway, it's comforting to see you back safely, and tell me about the one you suspect is behind the scenes. Huan Da Sima made a gesture to look at the seat, and he reclined in the bed with a leisurely attitude, and the old scroll on the table in front of the couch was being blown by the night wind.
Pang Pu didn't notice this scroll, nor did he sit on the ground according to Da Sima's gestures, he just leaned forward, as if he was bending down and bowing: "The villain has been checking for many days, and it can be determined that it was the Shaoling Yin family who instructed the evil ghost to do evil. ”
"Interesting, a family that has fallen out of favor and declined has an ulterior motive with that kind of thing, after returning to the dynasty, the first thing to do is to take this Yin family under the knife, as long as they show evidence of their secret communication with evil ghosts, I will see which family can keep him!"
On the way here, Pang Pu had already made up his mind to let Da Sima deal with the Yin family, which was far more cost-effective than his own lonely revenge, and Da Sima was not the big Sima of the past, not only was he convinced of the gods and ghosts, but he didn't even frown when he heard that the Yin family colluded with evil ghosts.
"Then again, is there any evidence?" Huan Da Sima's tone paused slightly, and Wei Yi's eyes stared at Pang Pu's face.
"There is no evidence that can be publicized yet, but maybe it will be when Mr. Xiahou is arrested. ”
Da Sima is strange again, how can Xiahou Tong, the eldest son of the Mo family, who is not related to each other, also have a relationship with the Yin family in Shaoling? Pang Pu's next words just solved this doubt: "The villain saw a few times ago that Mr. Xiahou had a secret conversation with the son of the Yin family. It seems to be an old acquaintance. ”
※※※
Xiahou Tong fled in the shadow, and did not appear until he approached the big tent of the military camp, and the military academy guarded in front of the village had no doubts, bowed slightly to Xiahou Tong, and watched him calmly walk into the military village.
The sound of Diao Fighting, it was already the middle of the night, and they all said that the moon was sixteen round on the fifteenth, but when Xiahou Tong raised his eyes and looked at the sky, he felt that the bright moon was no different from before.
It is said that at the moment when his identity is in doubt, he should be cautious, at least he should observe the situation after that, but he thinks that he is a new celebrity before Da Sima's driving, and he has just made such outstanding achievements, even if he may have revealed some flaws that should not have appeared, but who would believe it?
Red Ink Tiger Master Deng Yuzi, as well as his junior brother who appeared later, at least in front of the Great Sima, undoubtedly seemed to be soft-spoken, even if that junior brother seemed to have some old feelings with the swordsmen of the Great Sima Mansion, but he was a dignified Lieutenant and a mighty general, not to mention that he had also had a comradeship with them side by side to defend against the enemy, and he knew which side those swordsmen of the Great Sima Mansion would stand on if he thought about it with his ass. Of course, in front of Yi Raccoon Dog in the future, he also has enough crowning words to explain his way of slipping away quietly, as if a long time ago, he said that in order to restrain demons, he learned a lot of magical skills from the ancient books of the Mo family, right?
A kind of pride in the imminent completion of a great plan made him neglect to scrutinize the key points, and he didn't think carefully about the identity of that Deng Yuzi's junior disciple, if he figured out that this person was actually one of the thirteen great swordsmen of the Great Sima Mansion, maybe he wouldn't be so careless. Da Sima may not have a good temperament, but he will always carefully analyze the suggestions of his confidants.
Lifting the curtain of the military tent, the warm light of the lamp illuminated Xiahou's face red, several Mo family swordsmen had already surrounded him, and the chubby Yan Yu looked concerned: "Senior brother, what are the two young ladies looking for senior brother?"
Xiahou Tongha smiled: "It's just to show goodwill, their family has lost power in the court, but they want to catch the line of Da Sima through me." ”
In fact, Xiahou Tong is just a miscellaneous general who has just been promoted, and he has no great illustrious family background, and those children of the scholar clan who really want to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix have no reason to find him such a way, but the Mo family swordsmen who have been in the Central Plains for a long time do not know much about the Jiangnan family, and they do not have any doubts about this not clever reason.
A pair of black and shiny armor was placed on Xiahou Tong's bed, and there was a set of silver shiny crotch shirts on the side, and Yan Hao handed over a signal sign with both hands: "This is sent by the right time, the general's armor and the captain's seal." But it's strange, since the senior brother has become a general, why did he give the senior brother the position of a lieutenant? What does this mausoleum lieutenant do?"
"Who knows the way of Lu? In short, it is Lord Huan's cultivation and promotion, and when I meet Da Sima tomorrow, I will ask. "Xiahou Tong resulted in a letter, this is a square jade plate, carved with exquisite tiger ornaments, and a conspicuous Huan character in the center.
Seeing that Xiahou Tong was a little overjoyed, Yan Yu thought about it, and said in a very sincere tone: "Senior brother, we will help Da Sima, the original intention was to save the people and drive out Hu Lu, according to the rules of the Mo family, it was not allowed to accept the officials of the imperial court, is the senior brother ......?"
Xiahou Tong's face sank: "I can reflect on myself, isn't this a sudden reward from Lord Huan? What should I do? Could it be that I have brushed off the kindness of Da Sima in public? And return to the court with Da Sima, and after a while, I will resign to Da Sima, this is not abrupt." ”
Yan Oyster saw that the eldest brother was displeased, and bowed slightly, but he didn't say much, a few Mo family brothers gossiped for a while, and then waited to blow the lamp to sleep, and suddenly heard the sound of footsteps outside the tent, faintly the sound of gold and iron, Yan Oyster jumped up, his hand was already pressed on the hilt of the sword, and he heard someone shouting loudly: "Da Sima has an order, order General Xiahou to meet immediately!"
