As the New Year is approaching, the streets and alleys of Chang'an City are beginning to be hung with red lanterns, after all, red lanterns mean festive and peaceful. Children on the street are playing with smiles on their faces and wearing new clothes that their parents have paid a lot of money for.

The old people, either on crutches or with stools, came to the door of a courtyard, where they usually bask in the sun, where they can talk about the past and smoke dry tobacco, which is also the pleasure of old age.

Ding Yixiu walked out of his house, biting a bun in his mouth, glanced at the old man and the child, smiled slightly, and the corners of his mouth rose.

Turning around and closing the gate, Ding Yixiu took the Tang knife, greeted the neighbors around him with a smile, and quickly left the alley.

Ding Yixiu was about to go out today, and he took a few tasks a few days ago, but due to heavy snow, he did not carry them out. The snow stopped today, and Ding Yixiu decided to complete those tasks.

The task is not a big deal, it is nothing more than delivery, that's right, Ding Yixiu's task is to help those merchants deliver goods. As the capital of the Ming Dynasty, Chang'an City is prosperous. Every day, many goods follow caravans or dart boards to arrive here, but they are only responsible for delivering them to a fixed location, and they don't care how the goods are delivered to the merchants.

In this way, the merchants in Chang'an City will recruit some temporary workers, transport the goods to their stores, and pay them some copper plates.

Ding Yixiu is one of them, although Ding Yixiu also does some murderous business on weekdays, but he doesn't always have such a big task, so if he wants to do such a job, Ding Yixiu will also do it.

Who will have trouble with money.

The Tang knife in his hand kept swaying, Ding Yixiu hummed the ballad of his hometown, looked at the red lanterns on the street, and walked leisurely on the street.

Murder things to do, delivery to do things, do chores for the drama troupe, Ding Yixiu can do what he can make money for, and what he can do happily.

Do whatever you want, no constraints.

But now Ding Yixiu can't be leisurely, because at the corner of the street, a white horse is standing there, on top of the white horse, Zhao Wu raised his orchid finger and looked at Ding Yixiu with a smile, "Ding Yixiu, long time no see." ”

Ding Yixiu looked at Zhao Wu, and then glanced at Zhao Wu's back, about two dozen sergeants in iron armor, the sergeants stood there, the black armor on their bodies and the snow on the ground fell in Ding Yixiu's eyes, the bloody aura on their bodies, Ding Yixiu was familiar with it, and was silent.

Zhao Wu looked at Ding Yixiu's movements, a little unhappy, and frowned slightly, "What, our family is not welcome?"

Ding Yixiu put Tang Dao behind his back, saluted Zhao Wu, looked respectful, bent down and said, "Don't dare." ”

"Don't dare?" Zhao Wu turned over, got off the white horse, and came to Ding Yixiu in an instant, staring at Ding Yixiu with his eyes, "Do you dare to do anything?"

"The first person who dared to assassinate the sword of Chang'an City

, Qiming swordsman, what are you afraid of. ”

Ding Yixiu bit his lip, and on his forehead, beads of sweat began to emerge, "Father-in-law atons for his sins." ”

Zhao Wu was very satisfied with Ding Yixiu's performance, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he kept nodding, "What is your sin, that Qiming has no one in his eyes, and our family doesn't like him, if you don't kill him, our family will kill him sooner or later." ”

Ding Yixiu bent down again, this time deeper than the previous time, "Thank you, father-in-law." ”

Zhao Wu waved his hand and glanced at the children who were playing in the distance and the old man sitting there talking about the earth, "These are all your neighbors?"

Ding Yixiu got up and nodded, "It's all people from the neighborhood." ”

Zhao Wu sighed with emotion, and took out a handkerchief in his hand, "They are all the people of the Ming Dynasty." It's good, it's good. ”

Ding Yixiu echoed: "Guotai and Min'an are naturally excellent. ”

Zhao Wu turned his head, his eyes were a little happy, he was really a talker, our family stopped and was happy.

Turning over, Zhao Wu jumped on the white horse, pointed to a horse beside him and said, "You ride this horse, and our family will take you to see the woman in the portrait." ”

Ding Yixiu responded, took the horse from the guard on the side, jumped and landed on the horse's back.

Zhao Wu nodded slightly, thinking that Ding Yixiu couldn't ride a horse, so he laughed at him, and he was able to suppress his momentum, but he didn't expect Ding Yixiu's riding skills to be not weak.

"Keep up. ”

While speaking, Zhao Wu's white horse jumped out, Ding Yixiu patted the horse's belly with both legs, the horse was in pain, and began to run, and after the riders in front of him were gone, the sergeants behind unified their pace and followed closely behind.

The old men and children in the alley heard the sound of the sergeant just now, and the old people knew about it, but they were only a little puzzled, and they didn't know what the sergeant was doing.

But the old man doesn't want to do much, as long as you don't find your head, then what happens to you has nothing to do with you.

The children were a little curious about the sound of the sergeant, but they did not dare to approach the street corner, because the sound was really scary, like thunder on a rainy day, and some timid children were directly frightened and cried, and the bold children were extremely disdainful of this, and wanted to go to the street corner to check it out, but fortunately, the old man who was sitting at the door basking in the sun stopped them.

In most people's cognition, the Zongfu of Chang'an City does not seem to exist in this place, because those royal dirty things are just the after-dinner conversation of the people, as for the Zongfu that appears the most in the royal affairs, no one knows where it is, but has only heard of it, but has never seen it.

But in the eyes of those big people, the Zongfu existed in the street behind the palace.

When Gu Kaizhi stepped into here, there was no one on the entire street, and a courtyard wall spread from the corner of the street to the corner, boundless.

"Whew. ”

Gu Kaizhi exhaled and glanced at the closure not far away

The sect of the gate was a little sad in his heart, he came here just to see the poor child.

But it seems that the Zongfu does not want to meet the child himself.

Gu Kaizhi chuckled, why do I Gu Kaizhi need your consent to do things, why do I need you to make irresponsible remarks.

Wu Yonggen was behind the old man, and his eyes inadvertently glanced at the soldiers who were following closely behind him, and he was a little shocked in his heart.

Looking around, the dense number of soldiers behind him has crowded this street in Chang'an City, and the number of people is still converging, Wu Yong is bitter in his heart, he knows that those people are not here for himself, he is not qualified.

So for whom, the answer is in front of Wu Yong.

Gu Kaizhi.

Every time Gu Kaizhi and Wu Yong took a step, the soldiers behind them followed closely behind, but they always stood in the distance, hundreds of zhang apart, watching from afar, not daring to approach.

Wu Yong swallowed his saliva, it was hundreds of Imperial Forest Soldiers.

After taking a few steps, Gu Kaizhi frowned slightly, turned around slowly, and Wu Yong behind him stood aside very sensibly.

Among the soldiers behind him, dozens of people standing at the front fell to the ground one after another, their mood shattered on the spot, and their cultivation dissipated instantly.

"Get out!"

Gu Kaizhi put his hands behind his back, and said to the "tails" who followed closely: "Go back and tell the brute who only dared to hide in the Yuhua Palace, since he didn't dare to come to see the old man in person, then he should be his shrunken turtle, if he comes out one day, the old man is in a bad mood, then I will send him to see his father." ”

After that, Gu Kaishi didn't look at the soldiers who were rapidly retreating behind him, walked to the gate of the sect's mansion, kicked it open, and the gate shattered and flew out upside down.

Inside the Zongfu, an old man stood in the courtyard, saw the gate that fell to the ground, smiled bitterly, and saluted Gu Kaizhi who walked in.

"Meet Senior Gu. ”

Gu Kaizhi glanced at the old man, "Aren't you dead yet?"

The old man was the master Zongzheng, who was on crutches, and his words were full of respect, "Senior Gu said with a smile. ”

Gu Kaizhi snorted coldly, for this Zongzheng, Gu Kaizhi can be regarded as eye-catching, among these people in the Li family, only this old man can be called selfless.

"Where's my nephew?"

Master Zongzheng replied, "Senior, the Fourth Highness is in the Buddha Hall at the back. ”

Master Zongzheng turned sideways, revealing a path, and made a gesture of invitation to Gu Kaizhi.

Gu Kaizhi strode out, Wu Yonggen was behind him, and bowed slightly to the old man, but he knew the status of the old man in the Li clan, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was above ten thousand people under one person.

There is still to be respect that should be had.

The old man was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Wu Yong to salute him, and then smiled slightly, which was considered a return gift.

All three of them walked towards the back at the same time.
