Long Shaoyang beat the horse and whipped all the way, and returned to the Zhu House, without saying anything. Let's say that the green shadow in the forest took advantage of the twilight, like a civet cat, low and high, flying eaves and walls, and finally disappeared in a tall mansion in Xicheng.

I saw that the courtyard was square, the wall was almost two zhang high, two huge lanterns were hung high at the main entrance, the lights were swaying, and the word "Wei Fu" was clearly visible on the black plaque. The pavilions and pavilions in the courtyard, the bamboo and stone gardens, are scattered, and the shadows are more than enough to feel that the whole house is graceful and luxurious, magnificent.

In a wing room at the east end of the courtyard, a young woman was dressed in light silk clothes, with her hair in a bun, pacing back and forth, it was Wei Guifei, the favorite concubine of Emperor Qi of the dynasty.

A young girl walked in with a tray in her hand and said, "Niangniang, this is the freshly made 'Ice and Snow Cold Yuanzi', the most important thing is to cool down and cool off, please use it slowly!"

The so-called "ice and snow cold yuanzi" is to fry the soybeans first, remove the shell, grind them into soybean flour, mix them well with sugar or honey, add water balls into small balls, and then soak them in ice water, the entrance is sweet and not greasy, mellow and cool, and it is a good product for the nobles of the high gate to cool down since ancient times.

At first glance, Wei Guifei seemed to be taken aback, and said, "Oh, let it go first." Jin'er, stand down. ”

The maid called Jin'er agreed, turned and left the room.

Wei Guifei stood at the moment, without saying a word, staring at the dim lights in a daze.

At this moment, only a soft sound was heard, and a green shadow jumped into the room, and a person dressed in a green lean with a black cloth knelt down on one knee behind Wei Guifei.

Hearing the sound, Wei Guifei's face suddenly showed a strange look, and the sparkle in her eyes flowed, as if she was excited and like expectation, and then sighed, stabilized her mind, and said, "But you have already succeeded?"

The man in black clasped his fists with both hands, paused slightly, and said, "Hui Niangniang, little one...... The little ones are damned, the little ones are incompetent, this time it is in vain, and there is a debt of the mother!"

"What?" After Wei Guifei finished saying this, she turned around, her eyes were shining, and she said angrily: "Tell this palace quickly, has the kid surnamed Long been eliminated?"

"Little damn it. The man in black said in a trembling voice, "The small ability is not good, and the work is not effective, beg for ...... I beg my mother to punish him heavily!"

"Good sentence is not enough?" Wei Guifei flicked her long sleeves and said, "Before, General Wu boasted about Haikou in front of the palace, saying that your martial arts are outstanding among the forbidden armies, one of the best, how can you be defeated today?"

"Back to the mother's words, little one...... The little one didn't fight against that dragon Shaoyang!"

"What?!!" Wei Guifei snapped.

"Niangniang, Rong Xiao's finesse. The man in black kowtowed, "The little one didn't act according to the plan today, but because something happened halfway, the villain didn't have a gap." ”

Wei Guifei's eyes flashed, and she asked, "Hmm, what's the change, you tell the truth to this palace!"

"Yes. The man in black knocked his head again and said, "After receiving the message from Niangniang this afternoon, the little one immediately rushed to the East Palace, but found that Long Shaoyang, the kid, had gone out of the south gate, but did not return to the Xiao Mansion, but wandered south. The villain was puzzled in his heart, and he was afraid that this person was good at martial arts, so he kept following him from afar, thinking of staying in a secluded place, and killed him. Unexpectedly...... Unexpectedly......"

"What's unexpected?" Wei Guifei interjected, "Come on!"

Unexpectedly, Long Shaoyang had just crossed the heavenly street, suddenly turned the horse's head and turned back. The little one was shocked at the time, thinking that he had discovered the whereabouts of the villain, and when he was about to hide nearby, he glanced at it, only to see that seven or eight feet away in front of him, two gray-clothed men suddenly turned around and talked to the fruit vendor on the side of the road, but his eyes looked left and right. Seeing such a situation, Xiao Dengshi understood that there was another group of people who were watching Long Shaoyang. Thinking of this section, the little one did not dare to act rashly, so he had to follow from afar, thinking about the opportunity to act. That Long Shaoyang also seemed to have noticed that someone was following him, and he was unhurried at the moment, riding slowly on horseback, as if he was deliberately following the people who were following him in circles. ”

"You mean, another group of people are staring at Long Shaoyang?" asked Wei Guifei with a puzzled expression.

"Not bad. The man in black continued, "Later, Long Shaoyang rode forward, went out of the south gate, and came to a forest outside the city, so he stopped. The little one was puzzled, and suddenly a dozen people rushed out from the trees and the forest, some with knives, some with sticks, and some with ropes, and instantly surrounded him in the center. ”

When Wei Guifei heard this, she said "huh" softly.

The man in black said: "The little one was thinking at the time: Look at this situation, it seems that the enemy's old enemy is looking for revenge and hatred, and he happened to save his own shot, and he was overjoyed in his heart, so he found a big tree with dense branches and leaves, climbed to help, hid among the trees, condescendingly, and watched from afar. ”

Wei Guifei said coldly: "The enemy, he has just arrived alone, where did he come from?"

The man in black said, "The little one thought so at first. But after a while, the crowd rushed up, ropes, knives, and sticks, and started to move. Niangniang, it is strange to say, I saw that Long Shaoyang jumped high on the ground, hiding in Tibet, and all his moves were gently and skillfully avoided. The little one was fascinated, and suddenly Long Shaoyang stumbled and fell to the ground, and before he could get up, the knife and stick were already on his neck.

At this moment, a young man slowly walked out of the woods, richly dressed, tall and thin, about twenty years old. The boy came to Long Shaoyang and ridiculed him. The little one was wondering, only to see that Long Shaoyang rushed to the left and turned to the right, like a wind and clouds, and in just a moment, seven or eight people had fallen to the ground, moaning to themselves. But he only snatched people's blades, and didn't hurt people's lives! Looking at the little one, if it weren't for the fact that he was the one his mother wanted to kill, he could hardly help but cheer for him!"

Wei Guifei groaned for a while, and said: "In this way, this Long Shaoyang is acting a bitter trick, which is intended to lead out the people behind the scenes. This man is really treacherous!"

"Niangniang's eyes are like torches, and she sees excellence!" said the man in black, "Under the little stunned, Deng Shi also saw through Long Shaoyang's little tricks. Under his fists and kicks, the young man saw that the situation was not good, turned around and ran, and the group of people also fled in embarrassment. Long Shaoyang didn't chase after him, he picked up an iron rod from the ground and threw it casually, the iron rod flew dozens of feet, straight into the ground, and more than half of it was not in the soil. This kind of divine power is really something that I have never seen in my life!"

Wei Guifei swept the corner of her eyes, and she had a full view of the face of the man in black. After pondering for a moment, he slowly asked, "Do you recognize that twenty-year-old man in Chinese clothes?"

The man in black said: "I don't know the little one, I haven't seen it." ”

Wei Guifei muttered: "This Los Angeles is full of purple clothes, nobles are everywhere, and there are countless sons and brothers, so you can't blame it." Who is this young man, who wants to put Long Shaoyang to death?"

The man in black raised his head suddenly, as if he suddenly thought of something, and said: "Niangniang, the little one remembered something, and the little one once heard Long Shaoyang call that young man 'Qiu Gongzi' from afar." ”

"Young Master Qiu?" Wei Guifei blurted out, "Did you really hear Long Shaoyang call that person Young Master Qiu?"

"Hmm. The little ones really listened. "Humanity in black.

Wei Guifei realized something, and said in a low voice: "Thin, oh, it turned out to be him." How could Long Shaoyang provoke this little scoundrel?"

The man in black was at a loss when he heard it, as if he was falling into a fog, and he wanted to ask who this "little scoundrel" was, but he was finally timid in his heart, and when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed it again.

Wei Guifei glanced at the black-clothed man kneeling on the ground, and changed the subject: "Listen to the meaning of your words, you admire Long Shaoyang's martial arts very much, and you have the meaning of heroic sympathy." ”

The man in black said in fear: "The little one doesn't dare, even if he borrows a small head, the little one doesn't dare to have this thought." The small one is just talking about it with force, and has no other thoughts. Please be clear!"

"Forgive me and don't dare!" Wei Guifei snorted and said coldly, "That being the case, after those rabble left, why didn't you take the opportunity to kill Long Shaoyang?"

"This ......," the man in black hesitated, "The little one was thinking about how to do it at the time, and in a trance, he actually allowed Long Shaoyang to escape." Damn it!"

Wei Guifei sneered and said, "What a trance! This palace asks you, do you make a move without a gap, have no intention of making a move, or have no courage to make a move?"

When the man in black heard the weight of these words, he kowtowed again and again, and said: "The little self-thinking ability is not good, and I am afraid that I will startle the snake and spoil the big thing of the mother, so I didn't rush to strike, and begged the mother to read it in the face of General Wu, and deal ......with it lightly" As he spoke, he took off a black burden from his waist, held it in his hand, raised it above his head, and continued: "This is the fifty taels of gold that Niangniang rewarded before, and the small one is not effective, please take it back!" The words were full of choked voices.

Wei Guifei glanced at the black baggage, suddenly changed her face, and said softly: "When did this palace say that it would deal with you? Get up and talk. ”

The man in black stood up, walked a few steps, and put the black burden in his hand on the table, only to hear a clanging sound.

"Jin'er!" Wei Guifei raised her voice outward.

As soon as the words fell, a maid walked in and said, "Please give me orders!"

"Go, exchange this bowl of ice and snow cold yuanzi with a new one, and let this strong man cool off. Remember to add a little more sugar so that it tastes sweeter and tastier. Wei Guifei commanded.

The man in black was surprised and delighted, and thanked him again and again, and the maid Jin'er had turned around and left.

In less than a moment, the maid Jin'er went and returned, with a bowl of cold drink on the tray in her hand, and sent it to the man in black.

The man in black looked happy, said politely, took it and ate it, gobbled it up, swept it away in a blink of an eye, and put it back on the tray. Just as he was about to thank him, he suddenly felt that the five organs in his body were burning, and the pain was unbearable, only to see his face distorted, his eyes staring at Wei Guifei, his two hands tightly pinching his neck, only to hear the gurgling sound in his throat, but he couldn't speak, and suddenly screamed "wow", fell to the ground, bleeding from his seven orifices, and was already dead.

The maid Jin'er stood aside, and when she saw such a situation, she was not frightened, and watched quietly without saying a word.

"One waste, what's the use of keeping it!" Wei Guifei said coldly, "You go and call a few sturdy family members to come over and bury this waste in a secluded place-these fifty taels of gold let them divide it! They all know the temper of this palace, whoever wants to leak the slightest rumor, this person is a role model!"

The maid Jin'er answered, turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped again. Wei Guifei was unhurried and continued: "Slow. Tonight the palace will repair a book, tomorrow morning you take it into the palace, personally hand it over to General Wu, tell him that the thief who broke into the Liuxiang Palace that night has been caught by me, but it's a pity...... It's a pity that the thief was afraid of sin and took poison, and he had already cut himself off - he read the letter and would understand everything. ”

"The slave obeys. ”

"Go ahead. ”

"Yes. ”

The maid Jin'er turned around, and Wei Guifei was still standing there alone.

The candlelight in the hall was faint, reflected on her beautiful face, and I saw her eyebrows frowning slightly, thoughtful, and did not glance at the ground from beginning to end.
