Chapter 242, Idle Clouds and Wild Cranes
"Kill him! Now he has seen what we look like, and if he reports to the official, he will be killed! Although he has no silver taels, his robe is worth a lot of money..."
Looking at each other, another big man took out a dagger from his waist and said ruthlessly.
Hearing this, he nodded, and the big man who had just scolded him also took out his dagger and looked at Yongshenghou fiercely.
"You two, for the sake of money, you want people's lives, you are really ruthless..."
On the other side, blinded by the two, Yongshenghou shook his head and sighed.
"Kill!"
Hearing this, the two big men shouted in unison, waved the dagger in their hands, and rushed over!
Seeing this, he carried one hand on his back, looking at the two of them indifferently, Yongshenghou stood still, not afraid at all.
"Ahem!"
Suddenly, at the moment of crisis, the old man who was fishing not far away coughed softly!
Suddenly, the two big men stopped, the daggers in their hands fell to the ground, and their faces showed horror.
"Tick-tock... Tick tock..."
As blood dripped from their chins to the ground, the two big men bled and fell to the ground on the spot!
What a deep internal force!
Just a cough easily took the lives of two people!
"Alas... Be a good person in the next life..."
Blinded by the two corpses that fell to the ground, Yongsheng Hou shook his head and turned to walk towards the old man.
When he came to the river, the old man was fishing with his eyes closed, holding a bamboo pole in his hand, his head full of white hair, a long white beard, and a righteous face.
Beside the old man was a stone table with a tea set.
Blinded by the old man, Yongsheng Hou sat down at the stone table, stretched out his big hand, and poured himself a cup of tea.
Then, he poured himself a drink and quietly watched the old man fishing.
After a long time, a fresh breeze came, the river was sparkling, and the bamboo pole in the old man's hand shook slightly.
With his eyes closed, the bamboo pole in the old man's hand went up, only to see a live fish out of the water!
The old man smiled and threw the live fish back into the river to release it.
At the same time, the old man opened his eyes and looked at Yongsheng Hou.
Looking at each other, Yongshenghou drank the tea in his hand expressionlessly.
"It's been three years... You're still back..."
After looking at each other for a moment, the old man looked at the river and sighed.
"Half an hour ago, I just came back..."
Beside him, playing with a teacup in his hand, Yongshenghou said indifferently.
"Hehe... Then the old man should be honored, the famous Yongsheng Hou, returned to the capital after three years, and the first person he saw was the old man..."
Hearing this, the old man narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly.
"Ben Hou came here today and asked for something..."
Blinded by the old man, Yongsheng Hou said softly.
"Hehe... Master Hou, you should know that the old man has long been idle and no longer cares about things outside his body..."
Shaking his head, the old man replied in a loud voice.
"If it's about the safety of the imperial court, can the emperor still be idle and wild?"
Hearing this, the corners of Yongshenghou's mouth were lightly raised, as if he was smiling.
"It's about the safety of the imperial court?"
As soon as these words came out, the bamboo pole in his hand was stunned, and the old man looked at Yongshenghou with a serious face.
This old man is none other than the emperor of one of the six great masters of martial arts today, Liu Yuanzong!
A few years ago, due to his advanced age, Liu Yuanzong lived in seclusion here, idle clouds and wild cranes.
But as the teacher of today's saints, who has assisted the two emperors, and now that the court is safe, how can Liu Yuanzong stand idly by?
"Not bad..."
Looking at each other, Yongshenghou nodded.
"Master Hou, what happened?"
With a deep frown, Liu Yuanzong asked in a loud voice.
"Emperor, do you know about the Killing Hall..."
Pouring the cup of tea, Yongsheng Hou asked without answering.
"The old man should know that the Killing Hall was established by the Emperor Xian Tai and is in charge of the security of the rivers and lakes... Now the head of the Killing Hall should be Nangong Huang..."
Putting down the bamboo pole in his hand, Liu Yuanzong replied in a loud voice.
"What the emperor said is extremely true, and now the Killing Hall is being run by Nangong Huang... I wonder if the emperor has ever heard of the Shura Palace?"
Drinking the tea in his hand, Yongshenghou asked again.
"Shura Temple... This is the head of the evil path, and its hall master, the Ghost Yama King, is one of the six great masters with the old man..."
Blinded by the other party, Liu Yuanzong said slowly.
"Emperor, now Nangong Huang and the Ghost Yama King are colluding with each other in an attempt to eliminate the six major factions and dominate the rivers and lakes..."
Nodding, with a gleam in his eyes, Yongsheng Hou said in a deep voice.
"What does the matter of the rivers and lakes have to do with the old man?"
Hearing this, his brows furrowed slightly, and Liu Yuanzong replied in a loud voice.
At that time, Liu Yuanzong's father died at the hands of people in the rivers and lakes, so Liu Yuanzong was very attached to the people in the rivers and lakes.
"Definitely... If Nangong Huang and the Ghost Yama King collude with each other, they really dominate the rivers and lakes... Emperor, people's hearts are unpredictable, under the desire for power, they can't say that their ambitions are bigger, they will... Conquer the world!"
Blinded by Liu Yuanzong, Yongsheng Hou shook his head and reminded indifferently.
"Bold!"
Hearing this, his complexion changed greatly, and Liu Yuanzong immediately shouted.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, with a loud shout, the sparkling river in front of it suddenly exploded, and several water columns rose into the sky!
"Hehe... With such a deep internal force, it seems that the emperor's martial arts have improved a lot over the years..."
Looking at the rough river, Yongsheng Hou sighed in appreciation.
"Master Hou, in that case, I don't know what you are asking for when you come to find the old man?"
Looking at each other and caressing his long white beard, Liu Yuanzong asked.
"It's not a secret, if you want to solve the crisis of the imperial court, the only way to dissolve the Killing Hall is to dissolve it..."
A gust of wind blew on his face, his white hair fluttered, and Yongshenghou chuckled.
"No, the Killing Hall was established by the Emperor Xiantai, how could the Holy One dissolve it today?"
Hearing what the other party said, he shook his head, and Liu Yuanzong immediately retorted.
"Emperor, if it can't be disbanded, then the only way to suppress it is..."
Putting down the teacup and tapping his fingers on the tabletop, Yongshenghou smiled indifferently.
"Master Hou, according to what you said, the old man doesn't know whether it's true or not... Although you and I are officials in the same dynasty, we have never interacted, and the old man is very wary of you, why should he help you?"
Hearing this, looking at Yongsheng Hou, Liu Yuanzong asked with a smile.
"Emperor, could it be that Benhou has avoided me for three years, and you still don't believe me?"
Looking at the river, Yongsheng Hou sighed.
"In the past three years, maybe Master Hou is recuperating..."
Beside him, waving his big hand, Liu Yuanzong said with a solemn expression.
"Recharge your batteries? Emperor, you say... What does Benhou want to do in this world?"
Hearing this, he coughed several times, and Yongsheng Hou asked with a pale face.
"Hehe... In this world, who doesn't want to dominate the world?"
Looking at each other, Liu Yuanzong smiled.
"So, could it be that the Emperor is also among them?"
Picking up the teacup on the table, squinting his eyes, Yongshenghou said indifferently.
"Nonsense! The old man is loyal to the country and assists the two emperors, he is a piece of pure loyalty! Heaven and earth can be learned!"
Hearing what he said, Liu Yuanzong frowned deeply, and immediately reprimanded in a low voice.
"Ahem, ahem... If the emperor is like this, why can't Ben Hou?"
Nodding his head, he coughed weakly, and Yongshenghou sighed.
