Chapter 691, cowardice before fighting
Outside the Blood Shadow Hall of Pingxi Palace, Yin Quan stood proudly with his hands behind him, and behind Yin Quan was Cheng Jijia, the master of the Blood Shadow Hall, surrounded by a group of Blood Shadow Hall warriors wearing crimson arrow sleeves, black boots, and holding Yanling knives, all of them were like facing a great enemy. Among the warriors of the Blood Shadow Hall, there are three capable women wearing green arrow sleeves, and three red butterflies are embroidered on the front and back of the green arrow sleeves, and these three people are the butterfly envoys of the Blood Shadow Hall. There is also a man wearing dark blue arrow sleeves, who is extremely heroic, and the bat with red mouth corners embroidered on the front heart and back of the arrow sleeves is the bat envoy of the Blood Shadow Hall.
Opposite the killers of the Blood Shadow Hall, there were several people standing, one of them was an elderly monk, holding an iron Zen staff, his face was like a three-autumn ancient moon, his appearance was kind and kind, his beard was white, and his face was indifferent, it was the old monk Puxuan of Tongsheng Mountain Zizi Temple. On the left hand side of the old monk Puxuan, there stood a tall man with a single knife on his back, about fifty years old, dressed as a rich man in a brown brocade robe, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, three locks of beard fluttering on his chest, and two iron galls in his left hand.
On the right hand side of the old monk Puxuan, there was a young man of about twenty years old, with an average appearance, dark skin, and a single knife on his back, glaring angrily at Yin Quan. Beside the young man, there was a rough looking northern man, about thirty years old, holding a large iron rod one person high, the costume of a person in northern Liaobei, a shabby sheepskin robe, and a dogskin hat.
On the far right is a middle-aged monk, this monk is tall, dark-complexion, wearing a vermilion robe, stepping on monk shoes, hanging a long string of black sandalwood Buddhist beads around his neck, his face is peaceful, his eyes are half-closed, a string of purple prayer beads are turned in his hand, and he mutters sutras in his mouth.
Yin Quan looked at Pu Xuan and smiled, "Old Zen Master, last year you broke into the widow's palace and took away a woman, and the widow gave you enough face, and today you went to my palace to make trouble, obviously you didn't take this king in your eyes! Old Zen master, you are too much! And this king heard that you have recently become a guest of the Wei Wang's Mansion, is there such a thing? Last year, this king was struggling to keep it, and wanted to ask the old Zen master to be an offering in the widow's palace, but the old Zen master insisted on not allowing it! What is the reason for this?"
Pu Xuan laughed, and the iron Zen staff in his hand paused lightly on the ground, and the gray stone bricks on the ground suddenly cracked into the texture of a turtle's back, "Lord Wang, the old man was still wandering last year, and his heart was uncertain, so he couldn't stay here." This year, I thought about it in my heart, and I was kindly invited by King Wei Chitose, and in desperation, I decided to stay in King Wei's Mansion as a guest, everything is determined by fate, why should the prince care?"
Yin Quan laughed loudly, and when he had laughed enough, he clapped his hands and said with a gloomy smile: "Old Zen Master, if you don't talk to monks, you are really dishonest as a monk! Alas, it really damages the reputation of Tongsheng Mountain Zizai Temple! Since the old Zen Master came to the door today, wouldn't you introduce to the widow who these friends around you are? Later, if we turn our faces and start to move, it is inevitable that there will be casualties, and the widow can let his subordinates dig graves and erect monuments for you, isn't it a beautiful thing?"
Pu Xuan held the Zen staff in his right hand, twisted his beard with his left hand, and said with a smile: "Prince Pingxi, this is a little ugly, we are guests from afar, you don't welcome us, why do you want to fight and kill? ”
Yin Quan smiled disapprenorantly: "It turns out that there are just a few of them, but they are not well-known figures, just with these few people, they dare to announce that today is the death date of the widow, and it is inevitable that they will not take the widow's Pingxi Mansion too seriously! You guards are extremely arrogant, dare to go to Yuzhou City to assassinate my sons, the widow has already sent people out to search for them, to ensure that none of you can escape! At that time, the widow will personally push you into the Colosseum to feed the tiger!"
Cheng Zifei glared and shouted: "Yin Quan, you are not afraid of the wind flashing your tongue when you say big things? Do you have the ability to leave us with these rotten garlic in the Blood Shadow Hall under your command? You sit in the palace of the king of Yuzhou City in this southwest province, like a toad in a well, and you are used to sitting in the well and watching the sky, do you think that with these people under you, you can walk sideways in Dashang? Grandpa Cheng tells you that you and these subordinates of yours are far behind! Last time you sent someone to assassinate the big and small officials of Jiannan Dao, today we are here to settle accounts with you!"
Those warriors in the Blood Shadow Hall, butterfly envoys, and bat envoys were all furious when they heard Cheng Zifei scolding them for rotten garlic, if Cheng Jijia hadn't stopped them, this group of people would have rushed up to beat Cheng Zifei.
Yin Quan first looked at a few people opposite, and then finally looked at Cheng Zifei's face, and said with a smile: "Oh, your name is Cheng Zifei, right? The widow remembers, you used to be Tang Jiusheng's guard captain, the three-legged martial arts realm, and learned a few three-legged cat knife techniques from Huiyong monks, so I thought I was a master, the masters of the Blood Shadow Hall under the widow once commented, you are fortunate to be one of the four major rice buckets under Tang Jiusheng, that is very famous, the widow admires you very much for such a thick-skinned rice bucket!"
Everyone in the Blood Shadow Hall laughed when they saw Yin Quan laughing at Cheng Zifei is rice bucket, Cheng Zifei's face turned red, although his martial arts realm of the third grade was not low, but in the palace where the two masters were like clouds, it was indeed not ranked, Tang Jiusheng asked him to be the captain of the guards, most of it was for the sake of Zen Master Huiyong's face, especially in the past six months, he followed Tang Jiusheng to run around, and he didn't have much time to practice martial arts, besides, it was not so easy to break through the realm of martial arts, and he was still some distance away from the second grade.
Yin Quan said again: "You said that the widow sent someone to assassinate the officials of Jiannan Province?" Yin Quan spread his hands and said with an innocent face: "How is this possible! The widow is the prince of the Great Shang, so he naturally wants to set an example and abide by the laws of the Great Shang, how can he condone his subordinates to kill people indiscriminately, especially the assassination of the officials of the imperial court?" The widow has always loved the people like a son, the people of Yuzhou have praised the widow, and some people spontaneously funded the widow's ancestral hall, alas, the widow is obviously a great good person, but some people out of jealousy, made up some lies to slander the widow, you are still young, don't be deceived!"
Cheng Zifei was almost disgusted to death by Yin Quan, what a high-sounding rhetoric! Cheng Zifei made a look of vomiting, shook his head and said: "I really can't stand it, is there such a shameless person? I heard that there are many beautiful daughters in the southwest province, just because you robbed other people's beautiful girls everywhere, those people were frightened and fled to Jiannan and even Jiangnan and Lingnan!"
Yin Quan nodded and said: "The widow is indeed lustful and likes beautiful women, but the widow never goes to other people's houses to rob women! You have wronged the widow!" Yin Quan secretly said in his heart, your mother, Lao Tzu has never gone to other people's homes to rob women, it was all done by my subordinates!
Cheng Jijia coughed, relieved Yin Quan's siege, looked at Cheng Zifei, and said with a smile: "You are also worthy of the surname Cheng? Just now you were making a lot of noise outside, let our prince get out and die, right? Very good, the master of this hall is going to call someone to assassinate the officials of Jiannan Dao, what can you do to us? If you are not convinced, there are several butterfly envoys in my Blood Shadow Hall, all of them are women, if you can win them, you can be regarded as a capable man, if you can't even win a girl, let's get rid of your rotten eggs!" The samurai of the Blood Shadow Hall burst into laughter.
Cheng Zifei blushed, and said angrily: "Cheng Jijia, you old puppet who aids in abuse! You are a rice bucket who can't even lift a knife, and you are embarrassed to laugh at your grandfather? We have the same surname Cheng, I follow King Wei, and I am dedicated to the country and the people, but you have taken refuge in a traitor who has succeeded in the remnants of the people! You have read the scriptures and history in vain, but your heart is like a snake and scorpion, and you are embarrassed to speak out here, what face do you have to face the ancestors of our Cheng family?"
Cheng Jijia couldn't stop laughing and applauded: "What an impassioned young man! Since you know that the old man is full of reading the scriptures and history, you should know that the imperial court is rotten, and the old man is so full of reading the scriptures and history, but he can't even get a county magistrate! If it weren't for the prince's appreciation, the old man would still be humiliated in the village by those stupid people who farm and pick up dung! I have no way to enter, what's wrong with following the prince? The scholar dies for his confidant, the prince appreciates the old man, and the life of the old man is the prince's! Do you still have to give your life to Yin Guang'er, who doesn't take us seriously?"
Cheng Jijia turned around and pointed at the dozens of people in the Blood Shadow Hall, and said loudly: "These people are all capable people, and some of them are many times higher in martial arts than you, but if they don't follow the prince, they won't even be able to get a half-official position! And you are the captain of Tang Jiusheng's guard, is this fair? In this way, don't blame us for wanting to do big things! If Yin Guang Xiao'er takes us seriously, will we get to this point? That's why we support the prince, only when the prince becomes the emperor, will we have a good life!" Yin Guang'er, subject to the eunuchs and the kings, but you want to protect this incapable rice bucket, how can you be undefeated?"
Cheng Zifei spat fiercely angrily and scolded: "I'm sorry! You old thief! You claim to have read the scriptures and history in vain, don't you know that there is a truth in the book that the mighty cannot be bent, the rich and the rich cannot be lewd, and the poor and the lowly cannot be moved? Although I haven't read a few books, I also know that self-cultivation and family governance can make the people live and work in peace and contentment, which is the highest pursuit of readers!"
Cheng Jijia sneered: "Those who gave birth to me, those who raised me, parents, those who know me, those who use me, the prince! The prince treats me as a national soldier, and I will repay him as a national scholar! Cheng Zifei, you are willing to protect Tang Jiusheng, and if you are willing to protect Yin Guang, that is your business, old decay is not rare, let's talk more here, it's useless, it's better to fight the guys! You can win the butterfly envoy under the old decay! Yin Heqiu is out of the ranks!"
A butterfly envoy wearing green arrow sleeves came out in response, the butterfly envoy is not very old, about twenty years old, born with white teeth and red lips, delicate and beautiful, but also a rare beauty, after the butterfly envoy came out, he choked and pulled out the Yanling knife, looked at Cheng Zifei and said with a light smile: "Captain Cheng David, my name is Yin Heqiu, I am the weakest one among the butterfly envoys of the Blood Shadow Hall, so I was selected by the hall master to deal with you, lest those masters come out and kill you with one sword, your prince's face is not good!"
Cheng Zifei's face turned red, and in front of everyone's eyes, a woman named and said that she wanted to do something with him, if he didn't come out, it would be too embarrassing. Cheng Zifei had no choice but to stand up, as soon as he took two steps forward, Ouyang Baozheng jumped out and grabbed him, "Brother Cheng, it's not your task to fight today, you go to the back to press the formation! You are the dignified captain of the Weiwang Mansion, let the family stir up in a few words, how can it work!" Cheng Zifei got off the donkey and retreated, originally his task today was to scold people.
Ouyang Baozheng carried a big stick, stood proudly in front of everyone, and said with a big grin: "Lao Tzu heard that all of your butterfly envoys of the Blood Shadow Hall have been Yin Quan's concubines, Lao Tzu can't look down on it, I'm afraid of dirty hands when I beat you, the girl surnamed Yin, you hurry back and come out with another man! It's impossible that all the men in your Blood Shadow Hall are dead, right?"
Yin Quan looked at Ouyang Baozheng and said loudly: "The surname is Ouyang, your father is the city lord of the Northern Emperor City of the Great Shang Kingdom, and that is the uncrowned king! Our Yin family is not thin on your Ouyang family, why did you follow these people to the widow's palace to make trouble? If you quit now, the widow will only be if you have not come, otherwise the widow will sue the court and sue Ouyang Luda for murder and disturb the palace!"
Ouyang Baozheng said with a smile: "Ouch, you are talking nonsense! When have I been to your Pingxi Palace, and when have I been making trouble? I have had a good upbringing, and I am a great good citizen, and I have always abided by the law and supported the Great Shang Court! It was because some bad people were jealous of me, so they framed me and made up some lies to slander me, don't you listen to the words of those bad people to slander me, right? What evidence do you have to prove that I have been to your Pingxi Palace?" Ouyang Baozheng deliberately learned Yin Quan to speak, and gave back to him in his own way.
Cheng Zifei laughed loudly and said: "Ouyang, there is really you! Brother Hui must invite you to the Qinglou to drink flower wine, if you don't drink, you can't stand your words today! It's too enjoyable, it's so relieving!"
Yin Quan couldn't bear it anymore, waved his hand and said, "Yin Heqiu, kill him for me!" Yin Quan shook his hand angrily, tilted his head and looked at the side halls on both sides of the Blood Shadow Hall, his chest did not rise and fall, this surnamed Ouyang is simply too rogue! Yin Quan gritted his teeth, and scolded secretly in his heart, since you dare to come to my palace to make trouble, don't blame the widow for being polite! Tonight, the widow will solve all of you in the palace and bury it on the spot, and whoever asks tomorrow will say that the widow has not seen you!
Cheng Jijia on the side secretly thought to himself in his heart, these guys are so fearless to go to the palace to make trouble, don't come prepared, right? Be careful today, if someone beats you at the door of your own house, it will be a big shame! Thinking of this, Cheng Jijia waved at a green-clothed butterfly envoy, and the butterfly envoy came over, Cheng Jijia attached to her ear and gently explained a few words. The butterfly envoy bowed down and said, "Yes, my subordinates understand!" The butterfly envoy floated away, crossed the ridge of the temple, swept away in the air, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The butterfly gave Yin Heqiu a little headache, if she faced Cheng Zifei, even if she might not win, at least she could be invincible, this big man Ouyang Baozheng looked tall and big, and a little vicious, I am not his opponent, right? Before the two of them could make a move, Yin Heqiu muttered in his heart first, and he was cowardly before he fought.
