Volume 1 Investigation of Corruption, Life and Death Are Inseparable, Encountering the Deceased Chapter 16 The Reminder is here
"Faithful. King Lin picked the corners of his lips, turned the mutton fat jade wrench on his thumb, and obliquely showed a warm luster like moonlight, but his words were cold and trembling: "Back then, you turned the king's obstruction into an interception, killing the eldest brother, and abolishing the younger sister's cultivation for more than ten years, and even causing the dead soldiers carefully trained by the king to be killed and injured, you are so loyal, this king will naturally never forget." ”
Bringing up the old story again, this incident was a thorn between their master and servant, piercing very deeply, penetrating the flesh and bone marrow, and from time to time it would remind each other with a stinging pain that there was once not a heart and there had been betrayal.
Qu Tianxiong's head pounded like pounding garlic, until a black green patch appeared on his forehead, and he refused to stop: "Master Mingjian Master Mingjian, back then, it was the old master, the old master personally ordered, and his subordinates had to kill the killer." ”
"The things of the year, the things of the year will naturally not be remembered only on your head, but you have to remember clearly, now you only have one master, the king, if you go to the next day, the king will never tolerate you. King Lin glanced at him coldly, held a water celadon dragon and phoenix cup, and when he handed it to Qu Tianxiong, the cup had been crumpled into pieces by him, but there was no trace of blood spilling out of his palm.
Qu Tianxiong glanced at it, hung his head very quickly, without a word, knelt on the cold and hard, tentacles of the gold brick ground, after a while, it was like countless small insects into the legs, gnawing at the depths of the bones little by little, Qu Tianxiong is a person with deep Taoism, this cold pain is nothing, but the gold brick he knelt in the study is not an ordinary gold brick, this gold brick looks as flat as a mirror, and in the soil under a few inches of the gold brick, there are countless bone eaters imprisoned, this insect smells bloody, and follows the breath to find the scar, from the wound into the flesh one by one, knocking on the bone and sucking the marrow is painful, only the king of Lin himself gave the medicine to repel insects can solve this pain.
Qu Tianxiong knelt like this, just knelt on the vase that King Lin had broken, the broken porcelain pieces cut through the robe, cut the knees, and cut his flesh and blood, the bone eaters were bloodthirsty insects, and they just smelled a little bit of blood, so they rushed into his flesh one by one.
His knees were eaten by countless insects until the cold pain was twisted and deformed, a thin layer of sweat oozed from his forehead, and he was full of thoughts that he would remove the two legs, his whole body was trembling slightly, and he couldn't support it, so he could only support the ground with his hands, and he confessed repeatedly: "Oh, yes, my subordinates understand, my subordinates always remember, ask the master for forgiveness, and the subordinates will never dare to make decisions again." ”
King Lin glanced at him with interest, and saw that he almost fainted in pain, and suddenly felt that the bone eater insect that had taken all kinds of effort to cultivate was not in vain, and sent a pill of medicine with a slight flick of his fingers: "Get up, you also have a head and a face in the house, so kneel down and let the subordinates see, maybe how to arrange this king to be mean, okay, you get up and talk back." ”
The fiery red thin line on the plate was cruising with his head high, Qu Tianxiong carefully picked it up with a hook, and was in one place with the pill, dissolved it with blood, raised his head and swallowed it, and felt a thick bloody qi slowly descending, reducing the cold pain in his knees, he was relieved, slowly got up, held his knees and bowed down: "I don't know if the master has heard of the Blood Sect." ”
"The Blood Sect is the one that no one has said about the origin, and no one knows where the mountain gate is, and how many disciples there are. King Lin was interested, rubbed his two fingers on the wick, and picked up a bright candle flame, which flickered on his fingertips.
"Master, taste the newly brewed Yingshan clouds and mist. Qu Tianxiong handed over a gold cup inlaid with jade and inlaid with treasure, and carefully considered: "What the master said is right, this is this faction, the master who helped Su in Yongzhou this time, the Taoist technique used is from this faction." ”
The curly and beautiful leaves floated in the tender green water, and the fragrance of the tea was clear. ”
Qu Tianxiong's expression was sluggish, and he waved his hand at the white wall in front of him, and the time on the wall flowed, showing a world of ice and snow.
There was a bright white light between the ice and snow world, and he rolled on the spot, and actually raised dozens of feet of yellow sand in the sky, and the yellow sand roared into a giant dragon, and whispered around a giant hand.
After a ripple in an instant, the white wall returned to calm, and Qu Tianxiong replied contemplatively: "Master, please look, this is the situation in Yongzhou on the day under the shadow, the subordinates are lowly cultivated, and only the shadow is a little bit of this star, but this half of the star is the painting of the blood sect as a prison, and it has always only been given to the master of the Missionary Sect, and the subordinates can see it clearly, and there will be no mistake." ”
King Lin copied the tea cup in his hand, took a sip, the bitter fragrance of tea lingered between his lips and teeth, and he was silent for a long time before he muttered: "Three years ago, the master of this sect betrayed, setting off a bloody storm in the rivers and lakes, making a lot of trouble between the bloodthirsty Dao and the Zhengyang Dao, and the casualties were heavy. However, this king heard that this sect is different from the sect next to the bloodthirsty road, although it also worships blood sacrifices, it never kills wantonly, and pretends to be high. It turns out that it can also be driven by silver, Tianxiong, you quickly send someone to find out whether this time the blood faction is just an occasional interest trend, or a long-term mutual support. ”
Qu Tianxiong lowered his head and should claim: "Don't worry, master, my subordinates have arranged for someone to investigate, and news will come back soon." ”
The moon and stars are scarce, the night is quiet, the little guys are far away, only the whispering of insects in the grass nest, but can not hear the slightest human language in the council hall, King Lin bowed: "I heard that the power of this faction is all over the country, if you can subdue this faction for the use of this king, why worry about the future big things." ”
Qu Tianxiong hesitated: "It's just that this faction has colluded with that side first, and the subordinates are afraid, afraid that they have lost the opportunity." ”
King Lin glanced at him, touched his smooth chin, squinted and chuckled: "Tianxiong, I'm afraid that you haven't been held by the little sister, why are you getting more and more bold." ”
Qu Tianxiong's heart froze, and his hand to refill the hot water was crooked, and he sprinkled it on the table: "Master Rong Bing, my subordinates are thinking, if this faction is really driven by interests, then whoever gives more benefits will naturally be used by whom, but if it is a backbone, I am afraid that it will not be easy to clean up." ”
The night breeze is blowing, and light smoke escapes from the Zijin Boshan furnace, a wisp of light as a cloud, and the lingering fragrance slowly wraps around the fingers. King Lin added a spoonful of spices to the furnace, and the original fragrance was extremely quiet, and the veins were like silk. He looked back silently, his expression was indifferent but he said fiercely: "If this faction is really a backbone, this king will naturally have a way to destroy his backbone." ”
His mind is vicious, and he has always done what he says, Qu Tianxiong naturally did not dare to have the slightest slackness, and Shen claimed: "My subordinates must find out the place where the blood faction was established as soon as possible, and accept this faction for the master's use, please rest assured." ”
"Okay, if you can subdue this faction this time, you should be the first to take the lead. The smile on King Lin's face was indifferent, like a hazy light smoke on the top of the Boshan furnace, and the lingering fragrance was gloomy and gentle.
Qu Tianxiong lowered his head and said respectfully: "Over the years, she has conspired with the prince to calculate her master, and she has also promoted Huang Xuan to be such a thorn, and against her master, her subordinates have long been unable to stand it, and now she is colluded with this faction, I am afraid that there will be big trouble in the future, I knew that she was so difficult, I should have let her die with Guan Neihou in the first place." ”
"The smell of this agarwood incense is so quiet, can't it make your mind sink? King Lin banged the Boshan stove on the table, and the unburned agarwood incense in the furnace was poured clean, and he glanced at him coldly: "Who dies and when he lives becomes your final say." ”
Qu Tianxiong was silent, only lowered his head to look at his toes, and a drop of blood fell onto the upper of his shoes, flowed onto the gold bricks, and finally submerged into the gap, he seemed to see the bone eaters swarming towards the blood, as if he heard the sound of gnawing bites, and his eyebrows were slightly twisted and twitched.
After a long time, King Lin looked at Qu Tianxiong deeply: "What is the origin of this Huang Xuan, is his bottom so difficult to check, is he jumping out of the crack in the stone, and there is no shortcoming." ”
The wind swept slowly, the bamboo shadow under the window swayed, and the sound of the wind and the low wheezing sound were like Qu Tianxiong's talismans. He hesitated for a while, and finally opened his mouth: "It's the incompetence of his subordinates, it took so long to find out the details of Huang Xuan, this person is from Jingzhou, his father is unknown and his mother's surname is unknown, he was originally just a little-known magistrate, a few months ago he took his mother to Beijing to report on his work, and somehow he got the prince's blue eyes, not only promoted to the criminal department, but also arranged an errand in Yongzhou." ”
King Lin was playful, raised his hand and touched the tip of his nose, and sneered: "You said that Huang Xuan's biological father is unknown, could it be that he was born illegally." ”
Qu Tianxiong lowered his head, and collected his uneasy emotions very well, and even the last trace of soft-heartedness was hidden: "Oh, Huang Xuan's biological mother used to be the top girl in the Mandarin Duck Water Pavilion in Jingzhou, and Huang Xuan, who was born in the Qinglou, was also raised there. ”
King Lin pinched the soft brush, carefully swept away the incense ash in every crevice in the Boshan furnace, and said with a smile without raising his head: "Interesting, interesting, it's really interesting that a top brand can raise such a capable son." ”
"That's what the master said. Qu Tianxiong handed over a soft cloth in a timely manner, and the Boshan furnace that was wiped was shiny and not dazzling, and it was clearly a copper incense burner. ”
"It's no wonder that the prince values him, a person like him who has no foundation in the court, he has no scruples about doing things, and naturally he will not be restrained, but such a person, the prince is at ease to use, and the king is even more at ease except for this king. King Lin's hand touched the inner wall of the Boshan furnace a little, a few hairpins were engraved on his heart, he couldn't help but pause slightly, raised his eyes as usual and said: "Yongzhou bitter cold, he went to that kind of place to run errands, he can't also take the old lady with him, then there must be a place to live in Qingzhou." ”
