Chapter 81: The Death of Kotohime
Zhong Xihou returned to his house in Jinling City, yo, the scene in front of him really made him mistakenly think that he had gone to the wrong place.
Hua Shaohong opened her mouth first, but still didn't change her ridiculous tone, and said, "Yo, this is three women in one play?"
In the courtyard, Zang Yan and Naqin Ji, as well as Qu Tianqin, the three of them were sitting at the stone table, embroidering?
Seeing that it was Zhong Xihou and the three of them coming back, Zang Yan smiled like a flower, and after blinking and smiling, she embroidered the pair of mandarin ducks.
Qin Ji was a little restrained, and immediately stood up, put her hands on her lower abdomen, and saluted.
Looking at Qu Tianqin again, this stupid girl actually blushed and covered her eyes with a half-embroidered silk silk.
Hua Shaohong was even more energetic, leaned over, sighed a few times, hugged her chest with her left hand and clamped it under her right armpit, and then rubbed her chin with her right hand that had begun to grow a beard slightly. Listen to him and say seriously: "Tianqin, you embroider well." ”
When Qu Tianqin heard this, the dog's mouth actually came out of his mouth, and he immediately spread the silk silk on the stone table, so that everyone could see it clearly.
Zhong Xihou and Yan Hude Liang couldn't help but laugh, fortunately, both of them were characters, and there was nothing to say about the scene, but Qin Ji, who was standing like a maidservant, laughed with the picturesque Zang Yan.
I heard Hua Shaohong cough lightly twice, and said: "Tianqin, you rooster fighting centipede, embroidered with eight points of charm, amazing, amazing······"
Hua Shaohong also gave a thumbs up, this Qu Tianqin was angry, although he was blushing, he was shy before, but now he was angry. She stood up and slapped the stone table hard, shaking the needle and thread, and heard her roar: "This is called Dragon and Phoenix Chengxiang!"
It's okay not to say it, but when I say it, even Zhongxi Hou and Yan Hude have broken their work, and in an instant, there was laughter in the garden, so happy.
Qu Tianqin, who was the seed of joy, was naturally not happy and ran quickly inside.
Hua Shaohong is really not afraid of causing trouble, put his hand as a horn to his mouth, and asked: "Tianqin, what a good rooster fighting centipede, Master Hou They don't understand, I understand you······"
Looking at it again, Qu Tianqin rushed out with a half-moon halberd, Hua Shaohong's eyes immediately widened, and she used a wonderful body technique to sweep out of the wall. The troublemaker also sent a message: "Lyra, I'll go outside and catch a rooster for you and find a centipede to make a mold for you." ”
Qu Tianqin gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, but what could he do, after all, if he really fought, he couldn't catch up with Hua Shaohong, and he couldn't beat this bastard.
Zhong Xihou looked at this female red work, and behaved very fakely, he patted Qu Tianqin's head, and said softly: "The talent is good, and if you practice well, you will definitely be a master." ”
After speaking, he went to the study with Yan Hude, who had unloaded the salute.
When he arrived at the study, Yan Hude closed the doors and windows, fell to the ground again, closed his eyes and ears to the ground, and after confirming that there was no one around, he got up and nodded to Zhong Xihou.
Zhong Xihou glanced at Yan Hude a few times and asked, "Is there a big problem with your hands and feet?"
"Hou Ye has a proper grasp of proportion, and he just breaks the skin. Yan Hude replied and asked, "Master Hou, are you really willing to dance the sword?"
Zhong Xihou patted the armrest of the chair, sighed helplessly, and said, "If you are reluctant, you are not reluctant, what can you do." How could he have expected that killing him a dog minion, Yan Yunqi would send such a ruthless character. ”
Zhongxi Hou sat up straight and asked Yan Hude: "Xiao Liang, now you can be ranked among the heavens in Yanyun Ride, and I ask you, how is this Hongmeng heart?"
Yan Hude shook his head and listened to him explain: "Although it has been some years, this Yan Yun is not as good as Hou Ye's dark department. There are twelve people in the sky, except for me, and I have only seen the nine points of smoke and rain led by the Hongmeng heart. This Hongmeng heart has seen him shoot four or five times, and each time he is killed with his palm, but this time he came back to Lincheng, and saw that he had more tricks to shoot. If Hou Ye and Hongmeng are opponents, they are afraid of six or four. ”
"Oh, that's it. Zhong Xihou's response was flat, he naturally understood, who is four and who is six. Zhong Xihou suddenly came to a question that had been bothering him recently, and asked, "Xiao Liang, how heavy is this Hongmeng heart?"
"It is rumored that he will not die after the Double Heavenly Tribulation. If it weren't for that, Yan Hude wouldn't dare to assert that he was six to four points with Hou Ye. ”
"Double, Heavenly Tribulation?" Zhong Xihou didn't understand what this meant, he himself had encountered two Heavenly Tribulations, the first one was the Eight Desert Tornadoes, he didn't care, he mistakenly thought it was bad weather, and broke it with the Dancing Goose Sword Technique. The second time, it was an ice pick in the sky, hiding in the ancient woods, and there was no danger.
But what does the Twin Tribulations mean?
Yan Hude also shook his head, not knowing what this pair of heavenly tribulations meant.
Zhong Xihou suddenly laughed out loud, Yan Hude didn't understand, after laughing for four or five times, he stopped laughing, and Yan Hude also understood why Zhong Xihou was laughing and what he was laughing at. Listening to Yan Hude's emotion, he said: "There are really less than fifty people in the world who have cultivated the Hongmeng Sixfold Realm. ”
Zhong Xihou rested his left elbow against the armrest, supported his cheek with his left fist, and tapped the index finger of his right middle finger on the armrest rhythmically. He suddenly thought of a person, his little junior brother, who was like a song.
"Xiao Liang, how many people in the world are there in the world who ignore the realm of martial arts like the little junior brother, challenge beyond the level and have never hated?"
Yan Hude shook his head, Zhong Xihou was quite interested, and he pouted, meaning to let Yan Hude continue.
I heard Yan Hude say: "Master Hou, if you are really a person like Yingru Song, there will be no second one in the world." Naturally, if it weren't for Liu Sanqing's willingness to fulfill him with his life, it would be impossible for the world to have an alien who crossed the level of torture and killing above the Hongmeng Realm. ”
"Liu Sanqing?"
Zhong Xihou thought about it for a while, and finally gave up.
He had heard of Liu Sanqing, who was said to be a fast swordsman with good skills, but it was hard to say whether he could get into his eyes.
He hadn't noticed that there was such a young swordsman named Liu Sanqing in the Central Plains, and if he wanted to say that he knew this name, it was because Fuyunzi had chattered in his ear a few times that he had a rough memory.
Zhong Xihou was about to ask again, when suddenly there was a knock on the door of the study. It's not a knock, it's a knock. I heard the woman outside the door scolding, and the two people in the room were not bad at ear and could hear clearly.
The woman said sharply: "Feng'er, it is difficult to stand up if you are rude, disturb others, knock three times, and you can't slap it." ”
I heard another voice laugh a few times, and this laughter can also be heard, and its owner is an idiot.
Then I heard three knocks on the door, the loudness was appropriate, the interval was orderly, and after a few silences, I heard the voice of the woman outside the house say respectfully: "Lord, minister, the king of treachery and the young lord of the wind spirit king ask to see." ”
As soon as he heard the person's name, Zhong Xihou instantly felt a pain in his temples.
didn't listen to him, just waved his hand, and the people outside the house gently pushed the door open as if they saw Zhong Xihou's meaning through the wooden plank. Outside the door, there was a woman in a white scholar's robe and a comb of Northern Qi boudoir hair, behind him, she was really an idiot.
The idiot was more than a foot long, carrying a bamboo tube on his back, wearing a sleeveless brown linen coat, and his hair was neatly combed and tied up with a dark blue satin.
As soon as the idiot saw Zhong Xihou, he immediately ran over with a grin, ran in front of Zhong Xihou, knelt on the ground with both knees, and the sound made people worry that the floor tiles could be broken?
The idiot knelt on Zhong Xihou's side, put one hand on Zhong Xihou's left leg, the other hand on the arm of the chair, and put his head on Zhong Xihou's thigh, as docile as a little milk cat reunited with his owner after a long absence.
Zhong Xihou's eyes were inexplicably loving, he slowly stroked the hair and neck of the idiot with his left hand, he looked at the woman again, and asked, "King Wei, what will make you go out of the city in person?"
The woman placed her hands under her navel, buckled her knees and listened to her explain the reason.
"Back to the Lord, the city that never sleeps, the inner ghost will come out. ”
Zhongxi Hou and Yan Hude immediately moved their right eyelid slightly, and their eyes looked at the woman who was called the King of Tricks in surprise. Without waiting for Zhongxi Hou to speak, Yan Hude took the lead in asking: "King Wei, that person can be among us." ”
King Wei nodded, and Zhongxi Hou and Yan Hude made the same action again, their brows furrowed.
If the traitor detected by the King of Tricks was a high-ranking officer of a family in the city, or a high-ranking officer in the Black Armor Army, neither of them would be surprised. However, what Yan Hude asked was that that person could be among us.
This so-called us are the thirteen horsemen under the command of Zhongxi Hou, these thirteen people include the wolf king, the trick king, and the wind spirit king in the house, as well as the bow man Hua Shaohong who went out to take refuge and invited the walker Hui Dong to go to the cold city.
Zhong Xihou asked, "King Wei, what do you think should be done?"
"The cold city will be in chaos, I hope that the marquis will deal with the matter of the city as soon as possible and return to the west as soon as possible. ”
"Lonely, I see. Zhong Xihou's right hand and two fingers tapped lightly on the armrest, and the sound became louder and louder, and suddenly, the movement stopped instantly, and he said, "King Wei, may be divination, this moon and moon have no night yin and yang breath." ”
The trickster king didn't have any extra movements, and said straightly: "Back to the Lord, the moonless night in two days will be the birthday of the proprietor." "Bibi e-book
"The proprietor?"
"The proprietor of the Four Ghost Kings of Xudu. ”
Zhongxihou couldn't help pressing his temples, and listened to Yan Hude ask: "King Wei, although you don't understand the difference between yin and yang, what does this ghost king of the underworld have to do with mortals?"
"The wolf king needs to ask the Lord what is the meaning of the moonless night. ”
Yan Hude's eyes opened, he frowned again, listening to the voice, he was grinding his teeth again. After a moment of silence, Yan Hude opened his mouth and asked tentatively, "But it has something to do with the Venerable Ghost Master?"
Zhong Xihou nodded noncommittally, burying his forehead in the palm of his right hand, as if swaying from side to side, difficult to choose.
Yan Hude walked to the side of the King of Tricks, clasped his fists and saluted, his voice was clear, and said, "Master Hou, it's better for Yan Hude to stay in Lincheng and deal with him in the Sword Sect of the world." ”
Zhong Xihou looked at him, without the slightest emotion in his eyes, and listened to Yan Hude continue to add: "Hongmengxin, I promised Yan Hude one thing, maybe it can be an alliance. ”
Zhong Xihou's right hand and two fingers began to knock on the armrest again, and he asked: "Xiao Liang, if you ask for help from Hongmengxin, then you really will ride for Yanyun forever, and you can no longer be the wolf king of the lonely west, let alone the lord of the three nine states." ”
Yan Hude did not hesitate, and responded loudly: "Yan Hude only dies to repay his kindness, and then, I hope that the marquis will treat my subjects well." ”
There was silence in the house for a long time, or there was a time for tea, and suddenly, there was a commotion outside the house, there was angry scolding, some crying, and chaos.
The first master and two kings in the house couldn't help frowning, it was indeed the idiot who rushed out first, and his movements were as fast as three sharp arrows.
Near the door, I saw him slap the door open with his right hand, and the door creaked and flew away. His left hand flicked back, and he pulled out the sword-like sword on his back.
Then, the sound of the blade handing over, the Wind Spirit King's idiotic laughter, and another person kept shouting words like "misunderstanding".
Zhong Xihou and Yan Hude heard the voice of the master, and hurriedly flew to the door.
Outside the house, the Wind Spirit King and Zhu Yinuo fought with two swords. I saw the Wind Spirit King turn around and stab, and after Zhu Yinuo dodged, he handed out a sword "Prison Soldier Armor Breaking".
The Wind Spirit King felt interesting when he saw this sword, and avoided it, but he was still cut through his chest by the sword qi. Looking at the Wind Spirit King again, his face was full of anger, and he also handed out a sword, the sword was fast, and this time it was Zhu Yinuo's turn to suffer.
Zhu Yinuo could have avoided this sword, but when he saw that the sword handed out by the Wind Spirit King was actually the "Guardian Armor Breaker" that he had just used, he lost his mind slightly, and was pierced through his right shoulder by the Wind Spirit King's long sword without a tip.
Zhu Yinuo raised his leg and kicked the wrist of the sword in the left hand of the Wind Spirit King, and before his toes touched, the Wind Spirit King moved quickly, but he raised his leg and kicked Zhu Yinuo first.
That kick Zhu Yinuo was kicked in the abdomen by the Wind Spirit King, and the person flew backwards three or four feet and fell heavily to the ground. The long sword was also instantly pulled out of his right shoulder, and blood splattered two feet high.
Zhu Yinuo propped himself on the ground with the Shuanglong sword, barely stabilized himself and stood up.
Zhongxi Hou and Yan Hudeliang saw the courtyard with a shivering family hiding in the corner holding a broom, and Zang Yan who was crying incessantly. The one in Zang Yan's arms turned out to be Qin Ji, whose name Zhongxi Hou still didn't know.
Qin Ji was lying in Zang Yan's arms, the blood stains on the corners of her mouth were almost dry, Zang Yan covered her abdomen with a handkerchief, and the original turquoise handkerchief was also soaked in blood. And this Qin Ji has long been lifeless and motionless.
Zhong Xihou looked at Zhu Yinuo, Zhu Yinuo looked at Zhong Xihou, and then looked at Qin Ji. With a push of strength, he finally stood up straight, pulled out the Shuanglong Sword from the stone slab, wiped the residual blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, and was no longer afraid, the light of his eyes turned resolute, he cleared his throat, and said: "Zhongcheng Lord, you also know that Yi Shuihan is my swordsman in the city, let me ask, why does my Yi Shuihan Sword Order appear on this person?"
Zhong Xihou was silent and looked at Zang Yan. The tear-stained Fanbang beauty also raised her head to look at Zhong Xihou, but tears welled up again and shook her head vigorously.
Zhong Xihou looked at Zhu Yinuo again, the little prince of Jinling City was angry, and he held the hilt of the sword in his right hand and made a "squeak" sound. Zhu Yinuo raised his sword flat, pointed at Zhongxihou, and asked, "Zhongcheng Lord, would you rather trust a subordinate than believe me!"
Zhong Xihou sighed lightly and shook his head, but his voice was strong and upright, as if he could not be refuted by others, and listened to him: "I don't believe you, and I don't believe this girl, it's just that you kill people in Lone's yard, is it too faceless." ”
Zhu Yinuo was stunned for a moment, looked at Qin Ji again, hurriedly waved his hand, and explained: "No, no, no, I didn't kill her, I stabbed her from behind······"
Zhong Xihou motioned to Zang Yan to turn Qin Ji's body over, Zhu Yinuo couldn't help but widen his eyes, this Qin Ji's back was not a sword wound, and even her clothes were not torn or cracked. To say that he stabbed a sword in the back is really not true.
The Wind Spirit King was not happy, so he stomped his feet with a seven or eight-year-old child, and said in a coquettish tone, "Father-in-law, Aunt Wei, I still want to play with him." ”
The King didn't dare to make a sound, but just looked at Zhongxihou. At this time, Yan Hude stood in front of Zhu Yinuo, clasped his fists with both hands, and said: "Master Hou, Zhu Yinuo is the little prince of Jinling, even if there is a mistake, it must not be." ”
"Wind Spirit King, middle finger of his right hand. ”
When the Wind Spirit King heard Zhongxihou's order, he was very happy, and waved the long sword in his hand and ran towards Zhu Yinuo. this
Zhu Yinuo, who was engraved, still had any strength to block this sword, and was about to forcibly raise his breath, but the fishy smell in his throat surged, and he couldn't swallow it, and vomited out a mouthful of black blood. It looked like his hair was scattered, his mouth was covered with blood, and his clothes were in tatters.
Yan Hude sighed and shook his head slightly, only to see him spread his arms and glide backwards.
Zhu Yinuo took out his sword to block, but Yan Hude raised his right hand and slapped the Shuanglong Sword away. Zhu Yinuo lost his center of gravity and almost fell to the ground, Yan Hude frowned and took a step ahead of him to support the little prince.
The Wind Spirit King was not happy, and directly stabbed Yan Hude with his sword, Yan Hude looked at the idiot with serious anger and excitement, and he really couldn't smile bitterly. Holding Zhu Yinuo with both hands, he couldn't get out, but he took a sharp breath, and the long sword of the Wind Spirit King was only half a zhang away from him, but he saw Yan Hude roaring angrily, and the roar was like a lion in the wilderness, majestic and deafening.
In an instant, a strong wind rose, and this wind was like a city wall pushing towards the Wind Spirit King. The Wind Spirit King was pushed back seven or eight steps, adjusting his steps to chase after him, Yan Hude had already helped Zhu Yinuo to grab the door and leave.
The Wind Spirit King was so angry that he slammed his long sword on the ground, stomped a few more feet, and was not relieved, turned his head, and looked at Zhong Xihou angrily.
Zhong Xihou ignored it, but his body was straight, frowning, his hands were on his waist, and he watched the direction of the two leaving.
"Master Hou, you have to seek justice for Jiao Gu. ”
Zhong Xihou only now knew that the little maid in front of the people, and the Qin Ji of the eldest lady in the back of the people were called Jiaogu.
He looked at Zang Yan, who was sobbing, nodded, and didn't wait for the King of Trickery to speak again, only to hear him say: "Wind Spirit King, capture Zhu Yinuo." ”
When the Wind Spirit King heard this, he was amused again, picked up his long sword and rushed out.
Before the Wind Spirit King went out, he heard Zhong Xihou add another sentence: "Only the middle finger of the right hand." ”
The Wind Spirit King didn't stop, and all he could do was a smirk.
King Wei looked at Zhongxi Hou as if asking. Zhongxi Hou's voice was cold, and he said softly: "King of Tricks, Lincheng and Xidi, after all, there are two places, do you understand?"
When the king heard this, he understood the meaning and said no more. What she was curious about was why Yan Hude, a wolf-like guy, would take action to protect Zhu Yinuo, which was also interesting.
At the other end, he came out of Zhongxihou's mansion, and two figures, one black and one white, burst out from the darkness.
The two of them were shaped like children, and the girl in white wore a smiling mask and carried a sword nearly three feet long and bright as snow. The boy in black wore a mask with a weeping face, and also carried a sword nearly three feet long, but it was as black as ink.
Although Yan Hude knew the identities of the two, he still instinctively launched a defensive posture. When the girl in white saw that the young master was seriously injured, she was about to step forward to ask Yan Hude, but she felt that a sword aura attacked behind Yan Hude and Zhu Yinuo.
The boy in black flew up, drew the sword behind his back and met it, and the two had already fought with swords dozens of times. The boy in black actually fell to the ground slightly, and his breath was faintly short.
I only heard the boy in black have a hoarse voice and shout tearingly: "Go!"
The girl in white stood behind him, and the boy in black still had an extremely harsh and ugly voice, and another roar: "Go!"
The girl in white was about to speak, but she understood what he meant. Although this is Jinling City, Zhu Yinuo is the little prince of Jinling, and his safety cannot be slackened.
The girl in white looked back three times in one step, and finally drew the sword that was as bright as snow behind her back and threw it at the boy in black. The boy in black didn't turn his head, threw the black sword in his hand back, and stretched out his right hand again, holding the sword as bright as snow thrown over. Look at his own black sword, a parabola and a steady sheath behind the lesbian in white.
"I'll be back!"
The girl in white nodded at the back of the boy in black, but the expression under the mask was not a mask-like smile. The girl in white bit her lip, and escorted Zhu Yinuo away with Yan Hude, and finally didn't look back.
