Recently, Tai'an is not peaceful and safe.

There was a mysterious swordsman in Beijing, who killed the ministers of the court, and so far four people have died under his knife, and his head was hung on the door of the Jinluan Palace without exception. The palace has strengthened its vigilance, but this knife man has come and gone without a trace, and it is really difficult to find his form.

For a time, the government and the opposition were in turmoil, and every minister was worried all day long, afraid that the knife would hit his neck.

The people talked a lot about this matter, and there were even rumors that this swordsman came from the Western Regions.

Tai'an, Taiweifu.

"Father, this matter is really impossible to take down by the public manpower, and we have to mobilize our private soldiers, and the child asks for Ji Lao's assistance. ”

In Yu Wenlie's study, a man with a rather calm appearance arched his hand. This person is Yu Wenlie's eldest son, Yu Wensu, who served as a court lieutenant in the court, specializing in prisons, and this time the arrest of the knife man fell on his head.

Seeing Yu Wenlie holding his long beard and his face hesitant, Yu Wensu was anxious, and then said: "Father, if this case can't be handled, it will be handed over to Shang Shutai for handling, and then Your Majesty's impression of our Yuwen family will be a little worse." ”

Yuwen Su paused, and said: "Now is the critical period for the establishment of the crown prince, our family supports the three princes, we must not embarrass the three highnesses at such a time!"

Yu Wenlie nodded, looked at the old butler standing on the side, and narrowed his eyes: "Geely, how is it?"

"I heard that the swordsman used the sword technique of the Western Regions, and the old slave happened to be from the Western Regions, so I wanted to meet him for a while. Gili's wrinkled face seemed to glow.

The Western Regions, a name he misses.

The west side of the Great Zhou Dynasty, called Xiliang, the border of Xiliang is surrounded by a vast desert, and countless travelers want to open up a new land, but unfortunately get lost in it. Later, a person walked out of this desert and successfully opened the way from the Central Plains to the Western Regions, so the two sides gradually began to connect.

For many years, the countries of the Western Regions were often oppressed by the barbarians in their east, and those barbarians often invaded the northern borders of the Great Zhou, and there were wars on both sides from time to time. And so, the enemy of the enemy became a friend.

The Great Zhou Dynasty has always been friendly with the Western Regions, and the two sides exchanged trade routes, so some people from the Western Regions can often be seen in some northwest towns in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Their faces, dresses, customs, etc. are quite different from the Zhou people, and the women of the Western Regions have a different kind of alien customs, tall and beautiful, and are very popular with the men of the Zhou Dynasty.

"Then I'll ask Elder Ji for this matter. Yu Wensu was overjoyed in his heart and said to Geely.

Ji Li returned the salute and said with a smile: "The eldest prince doesn't have to be polite, this is not only for the Yuwen clan, but also for my Da Zhou." ”

"Ahh

In the small courtyard of the Mo family, Mo Jun suddenly felt an itch in his nose and couldn't help sneezing.

In the past few days, he has been teaching Li Mujun, a little girl, to practice swords, and found that the people with their Li bloodline are really talented.

Li Mujun has been practicing martial arts with her father and eldest brother since she was a child, and even when she went to Sufu as a slave, she also squeezed out time to practice secretly, but she suffered from no one to guide her, and her growth was still a little slow by her own exploration. But there is an advantage to this, and that is that she has an extremely solid foundation.

She has been frozen in the bottleneck for many years, and her aura has accumulated for a long time, and she has finally made a breakthrough in the past few days after Mo Jun's guidance. Although she has only reached the Imperial Qi Realm, her cultivation is not high, but fortunately, she has made rapid progress, and her future is immeasurable during the holidays.

And the most rare thing is that Li Mujun studied very hard, perhaps because of the nature of her Li family, or the temperament honed in the years when she was a slave in Su Mansion, she would ponder every move and style repeatedly, and occasionally ask some tricky questions, which made Mo Jun speechless.

At the same time, what surprised Mo Jun was that Li Mujun's posture and posture of dancing the sword were relaxed and measured, and the cooperation with his own aura was also intimate. This is not at all like an ignorant beginner, but a bit of a master.

In addition to admiration, Mo Jun also said that he didn't see the wrong person at the beginning.

"Ahh

Li Mujun was resting on a chair, eating pastries in his mouth and pecking at tea with a small mouth, so comfortable. It's just that this time I saw Mo Jun sneezing again and again, which was extremely annoying, and he couldn't help but glance at him: "Childe, what's wrong with you?"

"Maybe a girl misses me again, that's how handsome I'm looking. Mo Jun rubbed his nose and smiled.

"Phew, I'm afraid that the swordsman from the Western Regions is starting to think about you. Li Mujun glared at him with disgust on his face.

"Swordsman in the Western Regions?"

Li Mujun blinked and said in surprise: "You don't know?"

Mo Jun shook his head dumbly.

Li Mujun sighed, his son-in-law is good at everything, but he doesn't like to go out, and he doesn't care about the affairs of the court, even the things that are known in the taverns and teahouses in the city recently, and the streets and alleys, he looks confused.

"A few days ago, a mysterious assassin appeared in Beijing, who is said to be using the sword technique of the Western Regions, unpredictable, and is looking for trouble with the ministers of the court. Moreover, the knifeman's methods were extremely ferocious, often killing with one blow, and at the end, he hung the victim's head on the door of the Jinluan Palace to fool the court. ”

Mo Jun touched his chin and felt a burst of amusement: "There is still such a thing?"

"The second rank has already died at his hands, and if you cut it up, it will be the turn of the third prince, and then I will have to find you. Li Mujun stretched his waist and yawned.

"Then if I am also cut by him, will it be Your Majesty's turn next. ”

"I'm going to tell Your Majesty what you said. ”

Mo Jun spread his hands and said helplessly: "Then let's get down to business, if he really finds him, are you afraid?"

Li Mujun picked up a piece of osmanthus cake between his thumb and forefinger, put it in his mouth leisurely, then wiped it on his clothes, and said with a smile: "Son, you can even cut Tai Chi, what is a mere swordsman." ”

Mo Jun pondered for a moment, then scratched his head and sighed: "Hey, it's really troublesome, I can't live in peace for a few days." I guess it won't be him who will come to me, I'll have to go to him. ”

"Why?" Li Mujun blinked, curious.

"This kind of thing is usually handled by the Imperial Court, and if the Imperial Court Division can't catch anyone, he has to report it to Shangshutai and hand over the case to them to take over. At that time, our Shangshu Lord Xun Lingjun will definitely come to me, so I still have to take care of it after all. ”

Li Mujun nodded as if he didn't understand: "But if that swordsman really cuts down the first-class members of the imperial court, won't he come to you?"

Mo Jun smiled when he heard this, and flicked her forehead lightly.

"Sangong, how can you cut it so easily?"

The night was deep, and the moonlight was bright, sprinkled with silver glow, reflected on the bluestone slabs of the streets and alleys.

Tonight, it's curfew again.

The families closed the door tightly, fearing that if the swordsman did not kill the court officials, they would come to their ordinary people to vent their anger, but at that time it was unreasonable.

On the high wall of the Taiwei Mansion, a black shadow stepped on the silver frost under his feet, and came quickly, and his body was so fast that it almost overlapped with the shadow. At his waist, there was a knife hanging from his waist, and the knife was not unsheathed, but it was already filled with a chilling killing intent.

This swordsman has already killed four senior members of the court, from the third rank to the second rank, and then the third prince and the general. And he also knew that the Imperial Court Division had been looking for him, and their leader was the Imperial Court Captain Yu Wensu.

That's a member of the Yuwen family, one of the three princes, the Taiwei Yuwen clan.

Therefore, he decided to come to the trouble of the Yuwen clan tonight and give them a disadvantage.

The Taiwei Mansion is very large, and there are many guards, and it is heavily guarded.

According to his observations, Taiwei Yu Wenlie usually doesn't seem to have any other hobbies, except for the court, he stays in the mansion every day, and the study is lit until late at night.

This made it difficult for people to find a chance to start, and he even thought about breaking the jar and breaking it, and cut the ball to Yu Wenhong, who often went to Mingyue Tower.

But the thought only lit up for a moment, and then he extinguished it.

He has the dignity of a swordsman, and this time he came back to take revenge on them, so he must not be perfunctory.

He also knew that Taiwei Yu Wenlie's own cultivation was already extraordinary, and there was an even more simple master hidden in his mansion. And this master seems to be looking for himself.

This time, it will definitely be a fierce battle, and the outcome is unpredictable.

The ghostly figure of the swordsman flickered, and he jumped onto the roof of a room, his eyes flashing with a cold light, observing everything in the house.

I saw the guards divided into several groups, holding torches, patrolling around in a regular manner.

He found a gap and sneaked into the courtyard where Yu Wenlie's study was, leaning against the wall and looking sideways. I saw that the light was shining in the room, and the candle shadows were reflected in the window, fluttering in the wind.

Wind?

The swordsman was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly jumped forward against the wall, and a cold light hit him just now.

"Good skills. The visitor exclaimed.

The swordsman looked at the old man in front of him intently, pulled out the long knife on his waist, and the blade reflected the moonlight, and the murderous aura rose to the sky.

There was a commotion in the Taiwei Mansion, and the guards lit torches and surrounded them, shouting loudly: "Ji Lao, do you need our help!"

"Report your name!" the knife man's voice was calm, without the slightest fluster.

"Geely, from the Western Regions. ”

Geely squinted at the swordsman in front of him, and although he was wearing a hat, he could vaguely see the outline of his face. The knife-like face was angular and messy, and several scars seemed to be visible by the firelight.

"What about you? The person who came also had to report to his family, and judging by your appearance, he didn't look like a native of the Western Regions. Geely laughed.

"The dead don't need to know my name. ”

Geely was stunned for a moment, and also pulled out a knife, and some luster appeared in his deadwood-like eyes.
