Section 564 Someone from the Imperial Court
After Liu Yu sent the young man away, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Today is a single day, and he doesn't have to go to the front office. After breakfast, he listened to the routine reports of some subordinates and gave them how to deal with them, and then returned to his east wing to practice.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was evening.
When he was practicing, he suddenly felt a tingling pain in his abdomen, and the direction was exactly where the qi machine was. The Qi contained in the qi machine was tumbling like a tide at the moment, and although it was counterbalanced by the power of the Great Snake of Ten Thousand Spirits, it still couldn't stop it from violently stirring in its body.
It seemed that the Qi in his body had been nourished to an uncontrollable point, and the qi in his abdomen could no longer contain such a powerful force.
So far, he can only use the power of the wild Ten Thousand Spirit Snake in his body for his own use. As for this Qi in the body, except for the power used to balance the Great Snake of All Spirits, it is really difficult to control.
He knew in his heart that if he continued to practice according to this method, he was afraid that the two forces in his body would completely lose control, and his life would be in danger, so he quickly stopped exercising.
He was hunched up, his face was very painful, but he did not dare to make a sound, for fear of being heard by the servants and servants in the courtyard.
It wasn't until the sun gradually set, and the entire Dali Temple and Mansion was dyed with a layer of twilight, and the pain in his abdomen improved slightly.
He faintly heard the noise of people in the distance, so he opened the door, covered his stomach, and walked down the corridor to the center of the courtyard, only to see that a group of people had already gathered there.
These officials of Dali Temple are whispering.
"You say, should you inform Lord Liu of this matter now?"
"In my opinion, I still have to say, after all, human life is at stake!"
"I really didn't expect that the people sent by the imperial court would be so ruthless and kill people if they didn't agree with each other. ”
"Yes, we can't afford to offend that ancestor, and we are still sitting in the lobby right now, I'm afraid that only Lord Liu can suppress this person by himself!"
Liu Yu's face was slightly stunned after hearing this, thinking that he had just finished disposing of the perverse will sent by King Kui, could this person come to make things difficult for him again?
He stood behind them and said, "Let me see what happened!"
Everyone didn't notice that Lord Zhengqing had quietly arrived, but they were startled and dodged to the side, revealing a corpse in the center of the field.
The corpse lay in a pool of blood, with a shining dagger around its neck. Judging from the wound, the person who shot should not be weak in martial arts, and the direction of the dagger is more like a swordsmanship.
Liu Yu walked to him, stared at it, and barely recognized that the deceased was the young man who came to him during the day, and he was taken aback, so he asked the people on the side, "How did he die?"
Everyone didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied: "Lord Qiqi, I heard that the person sent by the imperial court who was sitting in the hall right now said that he had committed the crime of defrauding the king, and he went to Zhongshu Province today, and when he came back, he actually concealed the will promulgated by King Kui, and knew that he did not report it, so he killed him!"
As soon as Liu Yu heard this, he knew very well in his heart that this young man had followed his advice and deliberately suppressed King Kui's ridiculous will, but he never thought that it would lead to death.
He was in a heavy mood, but it was difficult to inform the people of the facts, lest the will cause a greater turmoil, so he only ordered: "Lift the people up, buy a good coffin, and put them away." ”
He said to the temple standing aside: "Take out five hundred taels of silver from my money and subsidize the deceased's family!"
After hearing this, the temple hurriedly said: "My lord, you don't have much money, and you have to take out so many silver taels, I'm afraid it's too much." What's more, this person's death is not directly related to adults, so why should adults take the responsibility on themselves. ”
Liu Yu shook his head helplessly, "I don't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me!"
"May I ask what your lord said, I don't understand the lowly position?"
However, before he could finish speaking, Lord Zhengqing had already strode in the direction of the lobby.
Seeing this, everyone turned into a pot of porridge, and they followed closely behind Lord Zhengqing, wanting to see what would happen next, and at the same time quietly discussed.
"It's over, even if Lord Liu is capable, he is not the opponent of His Royal Highness King Kui, I am afraid that he will suffer a loss in the past!"
Some people think long-term and have already considered the future life of their own children, "Yes, if Lord Liu has any three longs and two shorts, who will give us people a stipend, and how will our whole family live at that time?"
When someone saw this, they didn't like it, so they simply said, "Hey, don't talk about it." Which of you people has never seen the majesty of our Lord Liu? I have heard from people outside that the Huaqing Pond where King Kui lives was burned by our Lord Liu!"
His words relieved the hearts of many people, "Yes, yes, you are so right, our Lord Liu is not necessarily worse than that King Kui, and it is not necessarily who will win in comparison." ”
But at the same time, some people have a lot of concerns, and some people are humane: "Don't forget, His Royal Highness King Kui is a famous martial arts master in the world, and when it comes to martial arts, our Lord Liu may not be his opponent." What's more, our Lord Liu is just a Dali Siqing, but he can't compare to the high power of this Tang Dynasty prince!"
This man's words were poured on everyone's heads like a scoop of cold water, and everyone was doused silently.
After a while, someone said: "Look, Lord Liu has already entered the lobby, and it is estimated that he is going to fight with the people sent by the imperial court." ”
Everyone craned their necks and looked in the direction of the back door of the lobby, but they didn't dare to get too close.
Others were brave but not daring, and one of them proposed: "Whoever dares to sneak into the lobby to inquire about the news, I will invite him to drink tonight!"
After hearing this, a few good drinkers were moved in their hearts, but they pretended to be unwilling to believe it, and said to the man: "Dou Laosi, don't lie to people, now in this season, food is more expensive than gold and silver, and it is difficult for everyone to even fill their stomachs, where did you get wine for us to drink?"
The man named Dou Laosi grinned, "You don't know this, my Hun family quietly saved some sweet potatoes last winter, and originally wanted to use them to help poor relatives in the countryside, but I never thought that now these sweet potatoes are moldy, and the outside of the city is blocked like an iron pass, even if you want to transport the sweet potatoes out, it is difficult." I simply came up with a bad idea, and cut these moldy sweet potatoes with a knife, and made all of them into wine. Don't tell me, I tasted it yesterday, and this sweet potato wine tastes really good!"
Even the bad liquor made from moldy sweet potatoes has an irresistible temptation in Chang'an, which has been depleted by materials.
Those old drunkards hadn't touched a drop of nectar for many days, and after hearing this, they were hungry in their hearts, and they said: "Dou Laosi, you have to talk about it." We're going to the lobby to inquire about the news, and when we get back, you'll have to invite us to drink, and you won't be fooled!"
Dou Laosi pursed his lips, "Hey, have you brothers ever heard of me Dou someone who didn't speak well, why don't you hurry up!"
Seeing that what he said was true, the drunkards ran into the back door of the lobby in front of everyone.
Dou Laosi laughed when he saw this, "You see, these people are so hungry that they don't even care about their lives...... Gu ......"
Before he could finish speaking, he could no longer speak. A shiny silver dagger shot out of nowhere, piercing his neck, and blood spurted like a pillar.
