The black-clothed masked man who only showed a pair of eyes tiptoed to Tang Jiusheng's bed, and saw that Tang Jiusheng who was lying on the bed had been stunned by the incense, and sneered: "It is said that your kid is a young genius, very shrewd, phew, shrewd fart, isn't it the same as Lao Tzu's way?" As he spoke, he reached out and wanted to touch Tang Jiusheng's burden hanging on the bedside.

Tang Jiusheng suddenly burst out on the bed, the two fingers of his right hand were like steel cones, and lightning pointed at the masked man's soft numb acupoint, and at the same time as hitting the soft numb acupoint, his left hand took the masked man's right wrist and firmly controlled the other party with a grab.

The masked man's eyes showed horror, he never dreamed that he would be counter-fished by the other party, but fortunately, he wore a soft armor on his body, and Tang Jiusheng's finger power in his soft numb point was offset by the soft armor, but at the same time as Tang Jiusheng made a point, the grab with his left hand just prevented this accident from happening. Otherwise, the masked man would have jumped out of the window and fled.

Before the masked man could think further, Tang Jiusheng had already slashed his neck with a knife, and the masked man was immediately knocked unconscious.

Tang Jiusheng came to the table, picked up the fire sickle, knocked it a few times, lit the velvet, and then lit the candle, and listened carefully to the outside of the window, all the sounds were silent, and then he pushed open the window and expelled the incense in the house. Turning around and dragging the masked man over, the black cloth was ripped off his face.

As soon as he saw this face, Tang Jiusheng smiled dumbly, it turned out that he was still an acquaintance. This masked man was Zhu Dachang, the master of the Black Tiger Gate, Tang Jiusheng ripped off the soft armor on Zhu Dachang's body, took out the dagger in Zhu Dachang's arms, and hit his acupoint again. He went to his baggage again to find a hemp rope, and the four horses gathered their hooves to tie Zhu Dachang upside down.

Tang Jiusheng pulled a chair over, sat on the chair, carefully thought about these things that had happened before and after these days, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly became enlightened, and couldn't help but stretch his brows and smile slightly. Only then did he lift the teapot on the table and splash a pot of cold tea on Zhu Dachang's face.

Zhu Dachang was stimulated by the cold water, trembled, slowly woke up, his neck was in severe pain, he couldn't help moaning twice, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Tang Jiusheng sitting on a chair, holding his dagger, looking at him with his head down.

Seeing the dagger in Tang Jiusheng's hand, and seeing Tang Jiusheng's gloomy smile, he felt that the dagger seemed to be able to be stabbed down at any time, at this moment, Zhu Dachang was really frightened, and wailed: "Tang Gongzi, Tang Master, Tang Grandpa, you just spare me! I was also blinded ......by lard for a while."

In fact, many things in this world are the most terrifying when they have to be done yet, and Tang Jiusheng wants this effect.

Tang Jiusheng stood up and kicked Zhu Dachang hard, and shouted in a low voice: "In the middle of the night, what are you howling? Not only is it ugly, but it also affects other people's sleep." What's the matter, you still want to howl your accomplices to save you? I tell you, if you really howl someone to save you, I'll stab you to death at once. Come, tell me about my son, come to me in the middle of the night to put incense, what do you want to do?"

Zhu Da often has a hard time, it is really a boat capsized in the gutter, but he was pecked by the geese all day long, he never thought that he would be calculated by a junior like this, so he had no choice but to say, "I want to steal your photo post, I want you to have no identity certificate, and take the opportunity to fix you." ”

Tang Jiusheng nodded, and suddenly kicked Zhu Dachang again, Zhu Dachang screamed again and again, Tang Jiusheng's face was filled with a charming smile, and he didn't know that he thought it was a good conversation between friends, "You continue to fool, you old rabbit cub, you dare to play this kind of slippery head with me? Do you really think I don't know what you are here for? You are here to steal my imperial gold medal, you dare to lie again? I will let you taste whether your own dagger is sharp or not!"

Zhu Da often sifted chaff all over his body, shaking into a ball, panicked and didn't know what to do, so he had to beg for mercy, "Tang Gongzi, don't kick, I'll move! I did come to steal the gold medal." ”

Tang Jiusheng bent down, stretched out his hand and patted Zhu Dachang's face, and said with a smile, "Say, old rabbit cub, did Yin Chun let you come, or do you think you are qualified to fight with me?"

Zhu Da often cried bitterly, "Oh, my Tang Gongzi, the prince has already gone back to Lingnan, and the prince has suffered a big loss, saying that he is going back to reflect." I came here on my own initiative tonight, a few days ago, a few of you went to my courtyard to make a fuss, and I was disgraced, and the prince also scolded me with blood, I was too angry, I thought that as long as I could steal your royal gold medal, if you lost it, you would be guilty of killing your head, so I came. ”

Tang Jiusheng nodded, pinched Zhu Dachang's face, and expressed his satisfaction with Zhu Dachang's answer, "Old rabbit cub, although you are very shameless, you are still very cautious in doing things. Seeing the person wearing a mask and riding a unicorn but not sure if it was me, I asked your subordinate, that is, the proprietress of this inn, to pretend to eat tofu, and touched my face to see if it was easy to be too embarrassed. I was afraid that I would be conscious, so I didn't dare to put sweat medicine directly in the wine, and then quietly put incense on me at night, which was a clever method. ”

Zhu Da often looked at Tang Jiusheng, admiring from the bottom of his heart, and he was ashamed. This young kid has only been traveling in the rivers and lakes for two years at most, but he is so experienced, how did he do it?

Tang Jiusheng stood up, paced slowly in the room, and said, "You have been working hard to get me in the past few days, on the one hand, you want to let the people who are installed in the cottage inquire about my itinerary, and on the other hand, you have to let people steal the treasures of the rich and the eunuchs nearby, creating the illusion that there are Jiangyang thieves rampant." If I lose my gold medal, I will only think that it was Jiang Yang's thief, but I can't suspect that you are the master of the Zhu Sect, right?"

Zhu Da often flew out of the sky, and the little thoughts he moved were all broken by Tang Jiusheng, so he could only beg for mercy again: "I really know that I am wrong now, Tang Gongzi is wise! I beg Gongzi to let me go, I, Zhu Dachang, am willing to be a cow and a horse for Gongzi!"

Tang Jiusheng laughed, "What's the use of cows and horses like you I want? It's better to chop you with a knife to save worry and effort." You are an old boy, pretending to be kind and charitable on the rivers and lakes, but behind the scenes, you are a big thief. Usually, you don't steal near home, but go to a slightly farther county to steal some gold beads and jade, antique treasures, sell the stolen goods, and with this white silver, you go to fight for righteousness and squander money, and buy a reputation of benevolence and righteousness in the rivers and lakes. Isn't it?"

Zhu Dachang swallowed his saliva with difficulty, his soul was full of death, he usually did these things, even his wife didn't know, tonight Tang Jiusheng gave him one by one in front of him, talking and laughing as if he had seen it with his own eyes. Zhu Dachang's heart was extremely broken, and he really wanted to slap himself, am I crazy? Why should I offend such a person?

Tang Jiusheng squatted down, rubbed Zhu Dachang's dagger against Zhu Dachang's face, and sneered, "A man who can even sacrifice his daughter for glory will be a real hero who is righteous and wealthy, and righteous and thin?

Seeing Zhu Dachang's whole body trembling, Tang Jiusheng smiled evilly, threw the dagger in the air and caught it, made a dagger stabbing motion, and asked Zhu Dachang again: "Do you plan for me to send you to the local government tomorrow for punishment, or do you plan for me to tie you up on the street, and after the charges are announced in public, I will be killed with a knife?" Oh, by the way, I have a gold medal from the imperial gift, and officials below the third rank can be killed first, and it is even easier to kill you like this. ”

Zhu Dachang was full of heart: "Tang Gongzi, Grandpa Tang, my ancestor, you just let me go, people like me, kill you for fear of dirty hands! You treat me as a wild dog, let me go this time, I am really wrong, I dare not go against you again, I will be a cow for you, I will be a horse for you, I will be a dog for you, yes, I will learn to bark for you, Wang Wangwang......

Tang Jiusheng looked at Zhu Dachang, who was bent on begging to survive and his spirit was on the verge of collapse, he couldn't help but be happy, "Zhu Dagu, if you want this son to say, people like you, it's not a pity to die." At your level, let's let go of the fight, and I can kill you in three rounds. If you really don't want to die, how about we make a deal?"

Zhu Da often heard that he could not die, if he hadn't been tied to the ground, he would really have to kneel in front of Tang Jiusheng and kowtow like pounding garlic. "Grandpa Tang, from today onwards, you are my reborn parent. You say, 'What am I going to do so that you don't kill me?'

Tang Jiusheng frowned, took a sip, and said, "If I want to have an unsuccessful son like you, the ancestors of the Tang family are not allowed to expel me from the family?"

Zhu Da often tries to squeeze out a smiling face, but laughing is more ugly than crying: "Grandpa Tang, it's the little one who said the wrong thing, grandpa, you don't remember the villain, the prime minister can hold the boat in his belly, you have a lot of adults, you are generous and benevolent, you ......"

Tang Jiusheng kicked Zhu Dachang again, "Okay, don't make fun of meat." Let's get down to business, let's make a deal, in the future, if there is any big movement between the King of Lingnan and the King of Pingxi, you will be responsible for informing the new lieutenant of Dangyang County of the situation, and don't let anyone except me and the new person know. Got it?"

Zhu Dachang nodded like a chicken pecking rice, "The small one understands, the small one understands, the small one must do it, and the little one must do it." ”

Tang Jiusheng pondered for a moment, laughed again, and said, "However, you old boy has always had no credit, and I can't use no means at all." I have a Gu pill from Southern Xinjiang, and after eating it, there is usually nothing abnormal, but once it attacks, the meridians of the whole body will be gnawed by the Gu worms and die. Take an antidote every two years, and the worm will not flare up. As long as you do what you agreed with me, I will send someone to send you an antidote every two years. ”

After saying this, Tang Jiusheng took out a small white porcelain bottle in his arms, poured out a pill from it, stuffed it into Zhu Dachang's mouth, pinched Zhu Dachang's throat, sent it down, and patted it a few times to ensure that Zhu Dachang swallowed the medicine. Then untied the hemp rope on Zhu Dachang's body.

Zhu Da often heard that what he had eaten was actually a poisonous Gu pill, and his face was as earthy as he was, and he sat on the ground retching for a long time. The famous Southern Xinjiang Poison Gu Pill, Zhu Dachang naturally knew how powerful it was, thinking about it, this old fate was in the hands of Tang Jiusheng, and there was no way out. At least Tang Jiusheng still has an antidote, as long as he takes the antidote on time, he can not die, alas, as long as he can not die.

Zhu Dachang was extremely remorseful, and his intestines were about to regret it, and he knew that he shouldn't have come tonight. After barely settling down, Zhu Dachang opened his mouth and said: "Tang Gongzi, you must promise to give me an antidote in two years, my old life is in your hands." ”

Tang Jiusheng smiled, "Don't worry, this son will do what he says, as long as you don't violate our agreement, an antidote every two years will definitely be delivered to you." You don't have to fantasize about finding someone to unravel the Gu poison, except for the person who is under the Gu, no one can solve it, understand?"

Zhu Da often sat on the ground and nodded silently, embarrassed, like a mourner, stunned. After being stunned for a while, Zhu Dachang began to rejoice again, glad that Tang Jiusheng didn't stab him to death.

Tang Jiusheng walked over and opened the door, threw the dagger back to Zhu Dachang, and waved his hand at him, "You can go, as long as you abide by the agreement, I will abide by the agreement and give you the antidote." Remember what I said today, King Pingxi and King Lingnan can't make a big deal, don't waste your efforts. ”

Zhu Dachang took the dagger, put it in his arms, got up from the ground, walked out of the door dejectedly, lost his soul, walked to the staircase on the first floor, and happened to meet the innkeeper lady, the proprietress was quite surprised when she saw Zhu Dachang's loveless expression. As soon as he wanted to speak, he was pulled aside by Zhu Dachang's mouth, and Zhu Dachang walked out of the door of the inn and stumbled all the way.

At this time, Tang Jiusheng was already smiling in the room, there was no poisonous Gu in that white porcelain bottle, it was just a Shunqi Pill used to practice occult arts. Zhu Dachang had already been frightened by Tang Jiusheng, and he didn't expect Tang Jiusheng to fool him at all.

Tang Jiusheng lay on the bed and said leisurely: "Sure enough, the rivers and lakes are sinister. I can finally sleep, and I have to go tomorrow. ”
