Xiao Jinyan doesn't know what the strength of the Mobei duo is, but their reputation outside the Saiwai is extremely loud, and it shouldn't be easy.

Xiao Jinyan is not afraid of them, if he fights alone, it is a big deal to get out with no unwarranted steps, but at this moment, the arrow boy has no combat power, he does not dare to act rashly, not to mention that he doesn't know if the two of them still have helpers, if they startle the snake, then things will not be good.

Thinking of this, he picked up the arrow boy and hid in the ancestral hall of the dilapidated house, staring at the outside of the room.

Hearing the eagle said, "This dilapidated house is overgrown with grass, and it looks weird, why don't you go in and search it, and I'll help you control the wind outside?"

Xionghuang smiled and said, "Big brother, you are old and have high martial arts, so you should leave this kind of thing to the younger brother." ”

The eagle was quite speechless, and scolded with a smile, "You slippery head, you just don't want to suffer." However, if the old drunkard comes to the door, don't blame the eldest brother for smearing oil on the soles of his feet and slipping away first. ”

With that, he pushed the door open and looked around the room. A gust of wind blew, and the eagle's neck was cold, he took a sip, withdrew, and said, "What a broken place, there is not even a ghost shadow." ”

Xionghuang said, "If there is a ghost, we should go crazy." ”

Zhang Jiushui's voice came from outside the door, "You two stupid bears, what are you nagging inside, the chief steward ordered, be sure to capture the arrow boy alive, but you two are lazy here?"

The Mobei Shuangxiong have a bad reputation in the rivers and lakes, and they are being hunted down and killed at this moment, this operation, if it weren't for the big steward's fancy to their tracking ability, they would not have been accommodated. Kanto Sword Chapter Jiushui looked down on them very much, and he looked down on them between words.

Xionghuang was anxious, he said angrily, "The surname is Zhang, keep your mouth clean, you are famous in Kanto, don't think that here, our brothers are afraid of you!"

Zhang Jiushui laughed, "I heard that your family was poor when you were young, and your father married a daughter-in-law for the two of you, and you were alone for a month, so I wondered, if you catch up with the leap month, how should you divide the two?"

Scolding people does not expose shortcomings, and hitting people does not slap their faces.

This chapter Jiushui's words are so mean, how can Xionghuang swallow this breath, so he was furious, and he drew his knife to cut Zhang Jiushui, but was pulled by the eagle.

Xiongying said coldly, "This is not a matter of worrying about Brother Zhang, I really don't hide it, Mobei and Kanto are not far away, and your wife is still very hospitable." ”

Xionghuang also said, "Yes, your wife said that you are very short!"

Zhang Jiushui was furious, drew his sword and stabbed at Xionghuang, and the three of them fought with two swords and one sword.

Xiao Jinyan hid behind the ancestral hall, and said in his heart that the longer you fight, the better, it's best to have a lose-lose situation, and I just happened to find an opportunity to break through.

Zhang Jiushui is known as the Kanto Sword, he was arrogant when he was young, he picked up the Kanto Jiuzhai with a sword, became famous in a fight, and won the title of a Kanto hero, but this Kanto hero is extremely mean, he leaves no room for words and deeds, and also provokes a lot of enemies.

The Mobei Shuangxiong is narrow-minded, does all kinds of evil, and is good at joining forces to fight, combining two swords, and even fought a draw with the Kanto sword.

"Stop!"

A loud shout came.

Xiangyang Jiujian Qu walked out of the shadows, and the three of them stopped. "The enemy is now, now is the time to employ people, the arrow boy has not been caught, you guys have fought in the nest first, if you let the chief steward know, can you afford it?"

Hearing the name of Yuwen Gui, the three of them calmed down.

Zhang Jiushui arched his hand, "Offended." ”

The eagle held the knife upside down and hugged his fists, "How dare you, how dare you." ”

Qu said, "The chief steward has an order, be sure to capture the arrow boy alive, as for the kid surnamed Xiao, he once offended our governor and killed him with a sword." ”

Xiao Jinyan heard the words in the dark and wondered, when did I offend Yuwen Tianlu. After thinking about it, the Dengwen Yuan and the Governor's Mansion were in a lot of trouble, and it was not unreasonable for him to say so.

Qu asked, "What did you find?"

Zhang Jiushui said, "The surname is Qu, let's all do things for the chief steward, how old are you, why should I report to you?"

Qu Shifei showed an anger in his eyes, but he was very well cultivated, this anger flashed, and he said with a smile, "Brother Zhang is serious, you don't have to tell me if you have something, just tell the chief steward directly." ”

Zhang Jiushui snorted coldly and stopped making a sound.

Xiongying said, "Qu Daxia, those two guys won't escape from Xiangjian County, right?"

Qu Shifei said lightly, "The chief steward has laid a net in Xiangjian County, just waiting for the arrow boy to take the bait, and now she is powerless to fight again, if she can easily break through, we can close the door directly." ”

Zhang Jiushui said with a sneer on the side, "I'm afraid that someone has bad intentions, say one thing, do another." ”

Although they are all people from the Flounder Organization, these people come from all over the rivers and lakes, their strength and fame are equal, and no one is convinced.

Qu Shifei smiled slightly, "Zhang Daxia has something to say." ”

Zhang Jiu Shuidao, "Qu is right and wrong, among the thirteen masterpieces of our comparison, you are ranked sixth, and Lao Tzu is fourth, why do you point fingers at Lao Tzu?"

Qu Shifei was stunned when he heard this, and arched his hand, "It's me who trespassed, and when this matter is over, I'll invite you to drink!"

Zhang Jiushui saw that he was soft, so he nodded.

The four of them were about to leave, Qu Shifei suddenly said, "There's movement over there!"

Zhang Jiushui walked in the direction he pointed, suddenly felt a cold in his chest, a long sword passed through his chest, he looked back at Qu Shifei, and said, "You ......"

Qu Shifei pulled out the sword, kicked him down with one kick, wiped the sword clean on him, put the sword back into the sheath, and asked lightly, "Xiong Daxia, Xiong Erxia, I do this, the two of you will not have an opinion, right?"

Xionghuang didn't expect that Qu would hurt people with a sword behind his back, so he stayed in place and said, "No, no opinion." ”

Xiongying said, "This surname Zhang is too deceitful, Lao Tzu has long seen him unpleasantly, Qu Daxia killed him, that is to eliminate harm for the people!"

Qu Shifei nodded, "I'll go look elsewhere, and I'll leave it to you here." With that, he lifted his sword and floated away.

Even Xiao Jinyan, who was hiding in the shadows, felt that this song was ruthless and intimidating. The point is that he kills without warning, which is impossible to prevent.

Xionghuang kicked Zhang Jiushui and scolded: "You deserve it!"

The eagle looked at Qu Shifei's distant voice and said, "This surnamed Qu has a knife hidden in his smile, and it is not a good thing." Why are you still stunned, come here to help!"

Xionghuang said, "Do you want to report this matter to the chief steward?"

Xiongying scolded, "You are stupid, he killed the person, and we buried it, maybe he was testing the two of us, and said to the outside world that it was the surnamed Xiao who killed this guy." Why are you still stunned, come here to help!"

The two went and returned, carried Zhang Jiushui's body back to the courtyard, dug the ground with a knife, dug a pit, and buried Zhang Jiushui.

"Let's go. Go elsewhere. ”

......

When Zhao Lanjiang and Li Chengcheng returned to the inn, it was already late at night.

After Zhao Lanjiang won the championship, a celebration banquet was held in the city, and the ten people who entered the finals were invited, including Ye Erlang, the county magistrate, and the people of the Che family and the Ye family.

Woo Moon Gyu's target is Arrow Childe, and he does not embarrass the two.

At this time, the two of them were tired, Zhao Lanjiang invited Li Qingcheng to take a bath, looking at the night outside the window, Zhao Lanjiang said: "Lao Xiao should be in trouble, right?"

Li Chengcheng soaked his whole body in the water and said, "With his strength, even if he can't fight, it is more than enough to save his life, he ran away with his hand, what should I do with the rest of the food?"

Zhao Lanjiang said, "Without Butcher Zhang, you can't eat pigs with hair?"

Li Tingcheng didn't think so, "Along the way, we ate and drank for nothing, and spent a lot of money on this guy, do you guess he deliberately got rid of the two of us?"

"It doesn't make sense, huh?"

Li Chengcheng analyzed, "This arrow boy is the first assassin in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and those who do this business should be very rich, I estimate that Lao Xiao must have seen that the arrow boy has leaked money, and wants to take advantage of the fire to rob and make a fortune." ”

Zhao Lanjiang nodded, "That makes sense." ”

He said again, "Then this time to win the championship, a hundred taels of gold, do you want to divide him into 30%?"

Li Qingcheng said, "Just say I didn't give it." ”

"Haha, that's what I thought too. ”

......

"Ahh

Xiao Jinyan's nose was itchy and he couldn't help sneezing.

I can't help but secretly cry bad.

At this moment, Mobei Shuangxiong, who was just about to leave, heard movement in the room, became alert, and said, "Who is inside?"

The two drew their knives and rushed into the ruined house.

Xiao Jinyan motioned to Gongzi Jian not to speak, walked out from behind the ancestral hall, and said, "The two heroes, what a coincidence, they met again." ”

Mobei Shuangxiong said, "Are you Xiao Jinyan?"

Xiao Jinyan saw them in the restaurant that day, but the two of them didn't know Xiao Jinyan.

Xiao Jinyan said angrily, "You are Xiao Jinyan, Xiao Jinyan is my grandson, I can't wait to eat him alive now." ”

Xiong Huang Qi said, "Do you know this person?"

"It's not just acquaintance, I have a common enmity with the person surnamed Xiao!"

"How?"

Xiao Jinyan said angrily, "That kid fooled me for three taels of silver, this is not enough, he also claims to be the most handsome man in the world, I don't like to hear this, if you want to talk about beautiful men in the world, who can compare to the two?"

The two heroes in Mobei are ugly, and they hate others talking about their appearance the most in their lives, but Xiao Jinyan's words made the two of them feel comfortable.

"You think we're handsome?"

Xiao Jinyan said with a smile, "The two of them have strange appearances, but they are naturally arrogant and have the most manly taste." The two of them said that being handsome is a fart, and being rough and wild is a real man!"

When the two heard this, they immediately became confidants.

Even the arrow boy who was hiding behind the ancestral hall almost couldn't hold back and laughed.

Xionghuang felt that this remark was very reasonable, "Then tell me, where is the charm of our brothers?"

Xiao Jinyan looked the two heroes of Mobei up and down, and said slowly, "The two eldest brothers, with noses like eagle hooks, eyes like tigers and leopards, and hair like red rabbits, are strange people in the rivers and lakes at a glance. Walking in the rivers and lakes, reading countless people, there are two such strange people, there is no one in the world!"

Xionghuang listened to the comfort in his heart, as if he had taken a quick-acting heart-saving pill.

The eagle was full of suspicions, "You saw everything just now?"

Xiao Jinyan pretended not to know, "What's the matter?" The little brother walks the rivers and lakes, and the most taboo is to spy on other people's privacy, some things, you can see what you should see, and you can't see what you shouldn't, and your eyes will become bad." ”

The eagle's eyes flickered, he couldn't see through the level of this person's martial arts, but he dared to be here alone late at night, he would not be a mortal, and asked tentatively, "In the middle of the night, what are you doing here?"

Xiao Jinyan looked up to the sky and sighed, "It's not a secret, today's Yijian Conference, I made an appointment to meet here, who would have expected that waiting here would be a few hours, a woman's heart!"

Xionghuang smiled, showing an understanding look, "People are not romantic teenagers, it's understandable, but ......" He paused, his eyes looking around in the dilapidated house.

Xiao Jinyan's heart mentioned his throat and eyes, for fear that Xionghuang would find out where the arrow boy was hiding.

After a while, Xionghuang retracted his gaze and patted him on the shoulder, "The environment here is also bad, brother, if you have loose money, this kind of thing, it is better to find a better inn." ”

Xiao Jinyan smiled, "Brother thinks the same way, but he is shy in his pocket." ”

Xionghuang laughed, "You are also a bachelor when you say this, brother, you and I hit it off at first sight, why don't you find a restaurant, how about we go and drink three cups?"

Xiao Jinyan showed a hesitant look.

"What, look down on us?" said Xionghuang, pretending not to please.

Xiao Jinyan said, "The two eldest brothers have extraordinary bearing, which makes the younger brother admire, but the younger brother has something unspeakable......

The tip of the eagle's nose sniffed out a faint fragrance, and said, "No, there are women here!" With that, he walked to the back of the ancestral hall.

Xiao Jinyan found that the identity of the arrow boy was exposed, and his heart was terrible, "Big brother, slow down!" Lian rushed to him and invited the arrow boy who was hiding in the shadows out.

Xionghuang said in a deep voice, "Brother, this is your mistake. ”

Xiao Jinyan explained, "This girl is a good friend of the elder brother, originally we made an appointment to meet here tonight, and then eloped, who would like to encounter these things, the two eldest brothers, the younger brother was reckless just now, please forgive the eldest brother!"

Xionghuang looked at the arrow boy, this woman was beautiful and pale, but she was a stunning beauty, so she smiled and said, "Brother, you are not kind!

Xiao Jinyan secretly greeted his ancestors, but said in his mouth, "Pu Liu's posture, vulgar powder, I'm afraid I am not worthy of the two eldest brothers, the two elder brothers don't want to make fun of me." ”

Xionghuang shook his head, "Eh, you can't say that, we are also poor children, we are used to hard times, we have a good habit since we were young, we are not picky eaters, this girl might as well give it to us, we will be brothers." ”

The arrow boy was already angry in his heart, and it was just a matter of Mobei Shuangxiong speaking filthy, even Xiao Jinyan, this guy, was also talking nonsense, running the train with his mouth, if he hadn't been able to do it now, he would have shot the three of them to death with an arrow, and he wanted to be clean.

At this time, there was a whistle in the distance, three long and two short.

At this time, the sound of the communication of the eye.

Xionghuang scolded and said to Xiao Jinyan, "Little brother, my brother has something important to do here, this time I'll cheapen you first, by the way, our brother's name is Mobei Shuangxiong, and we have the opportunity to drink together!"

Xiao Jinyan arched his hand and said, "In the lower Tang Dynasty, you must not disturb the two elder brothers at that time." ”

The two questioned and left.

The arrow boy had a calm face and was silent.

Xiao Jinyan saw the two of them leave, and said to the arrow boy, "It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, we must go out of the city overnight, as soon as the morning dawns, I am afraid there will be no chance." ”

Arrow boy snorted coldly and turned away.

Xiao Jinyan couldn't help but be stunned, "What's the matter, Miss Sibao?"

The arrow boy looked fierce, "Who do you say is Pu Liu's posture, a vulgar fan?"

Xiao Jinyanxin said that she was angry about this matter, and explained, "The situation is in crisis just now, and there is power to do things, if I don't talk nonsense, if the two of them connect the two of us with the people they are chasing, won't it be a big deal?"

But the arrow boy didn't appreciate it, "You say I'm a vulgar fan?"

Xiao Jinyan had no choice but to say, "You are the number one assassin in the world, and you are the princess of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, you are extremely talented, and the country is beautiful, if you are a vulgar fan, then the other women in the world are not all muddy puddles?"

Hearing him say this, Arrow Boy couldn't help but laugh.

"You better call me Miss Sibao, otherwise, I always feel like you're scolding!"

Xiao Jinyan said, "Okay, Princess Doug." Now that the people outside are chasing us, we have to find a way to get out of the city overnight, otherwise it will be difficult to escape again at dawn. ”

Xiao Jinyan fetched water from the well, asked the Arrow Boy to wash his face, and then took out the mask, preparing to help the Arrow Boy change his appearance. Unexpectedly, in Leijiazhuang that day, the masks that Lei Zhenyu gave them were all XXL, although the arrow boy was tall, but he had a melon seed face, and it was very awkward after wearing it, and he reluctantly accepted it under Xiao Jinyan's persuasion.

The city gate has been closed, and it is not difficult for the two of them to go out of the city, but after leaving the city, there is no horse, and it can be said that it is difficult to move an inch in this kind of place.

The sky was slightly bright.

Xiao Jinyan found a carriage, got a futon, asked the arrow boy to lie down, covered her with a quilt, and walked towards the city gate.

Checkpoints have already been set up at the city gates, and there are more than ten city gate officials guarding them.

Xiao Jinyan drove the car and walked over hard, thinking about whether he could pass the pass in a fool's way, even if he couldn't get through, as long as he approached the city gate, as long as the person was not there, he could rush over.

"Stop!"

The city gate official stopped the carriage, "Who is in the carriage, what are you doing out of the city?"

Xiao Jinyan took out the road guide from his arms, and said with a smile, "Official, I and I are from Suzhou, and we came to Xiangjian County to do business, who expected that half a month ago, I suddenly got leprosy, and I saw a few doctors who said no, I heard that there is a secret recipe in Langzhong in the horse post, and we want to go out of the city to find him to see the disease." ”

When everyone heard that it was leprosy, they took a few steps back.

This disease was very terrifying, and it was very contagious, and it was very difficult to treat, and the city gate officials looked inside the car like a plague god, for fear of infecting themselves.

But where the duty lies, a city gate official said, "You, uncover her face, let's see." ”

Xiao Jinyan had to agree, he walked to the carriage, uncovered the quilt covering the head of the arrow boy, and the city gate official almost didn't spit it out.

The face, wrinkled and covered in blisters, looked horrible.

They only glanced at it, and waved their hands at Xiao Jinyan, "Okay, hurry over, don't come back if you have nothing to do, go back to your Suzhou!"

Xiao Jinyan thanked him again and again, and drove out of Xiangjian County.

As soon as he got out of the city, Xiao Jinyan rode his horse and ran for more than ten miles in one breath before stopping. Xiao Jinyan turned his head sharply, but saw that the arrow boy was sitting in the car and rubbing his face, and under the rubbing, the mask was even more distorted.

Xiao Jinyan almost didn't fall out of the car.

Arrow boy asked, "Does this face really have to be that ugly?"

"It's not just ugly, it's just unbearable!" Xiao Jinyan said, "Four Treasure Girl, take it off quickly, otherwise I won't be able to sleep at night." ”

The arrow boy came to the river, looked at the reflection in the water, and couldn't help but praise, "It's beautiful!"

......

Qu Shifei came to the inn where Yuwengui was staying, and said respectfully, "The chief steward, the city gate guards reported that half an hour ago, a couple from Suzhou went out of the city, saying that they were suffering from leprosy and went to the horse post for treatment. I suspect that these two people are most likely Xiao Jinyan and the arrow boy. ”

Yu Wengui nodded and said, "Xiao Jinyan once lived in seclusion in Suzhou, and there is a guide from Suzhou Mansion, so he will send an order, and all the thirteen heads of the Bimu will be dispatched, and they must capture the arrow boy alive before they arrive in Yinyang, otherwise, they will bring someone to see them!"

Qu right and wrong bowed his head and said yes, but he didn't leave.

Woo Moon Gyu looked up, "Anything else?"

Qu said, "I killed Zhang Jiushui." ”

Woo Moon Gyu sighed, "Got it." ”

He didn't ask too much, whether it was Zhang Jiushui or Qu right or wrong, it was just a chess piece under the header, and it was just a dog under the Governor of Yuwen.

In his heart, the living are more important than the dead.

A living Qu is naturally more important than a dead Zhang Jiushui.

He ignored the right and wrong, but his thoughts drifted to the capital.

In February this year, the Imperial Mausoleum was officially completed.

Emperor Zhu Liye took advantage of the Qingming Festival to worship his ancestors, and went to the imperial tomb of Xiucheng to inspect it, which attracted the opposition of many officials in the capital.

These officials, who were jokingly called "full of food and support" by the Dadu Governor, had a very noble status in the Ming Dynasty, just like the dog in Dengwen Academy, biting everywhere, but the emperor had no way to take them. It's just that these officials are very jealous of the Governor of Yuwen, because they know that Yuwen Tianlu does not play cards according to the rules.

At that time, there was a speech official who was about to die of old impeachment and wanted to leave a name in history, but on the way back to his hometown, it happened that the officers and soldiers who were guarding him had a bad stomach, and happened to meet a group of rogues on the plain that had been peaceful for more than ten years, and cut the body of the speech official into pieces.

This matter was handled by Yuwen Gui, and of course he knew Yuwen Tianlu's methods.

In the entire capital officialdom, the only one who can make Yuwen Tianlu jealous is Li Mad Dog. However, Li Mad Dog's life has not been easy recently, His Majesty the Emperor has been estranged from him intentionally or unintentionally, and many important matters have also avoided him, and only discussed with the Governor of Yuwen.

There is an unwritten rule in the Ming royal family that the emperor is not allowed to go to his own imperial tomb to inspect during his lifetime, so during his lifetime, most emperors are not allowed to see their own mausoleum. This has caused corruption in the construction of the imperial tomb, and the emperor can only listen to the reports of the eunuchs around him, and as long as it is a person, there are people who have been bought.

Zhu Liye didn't care about this, this inspection, he was very satisfied with the things supervised by Yuwen Tianlu. It is rumored that on the day of the ancestor worship, His Majesty the Emperor said an inexplicable sentence, "The black dragon presses down, and my life will not be long." ”

This sentence shocked the governor of Yuwen to kneel down and ask for guilt, and later the emperor dismissed the eunuch of the palace and had a secret conversation with the governor of Yuwen, which was the sensational "Nanling Concert Pair" in the court at the beginning of this year.

Although the content of the conversation was not leaked to the outside world, as Yuwen Tianlu's manager, there were some things that he wanted him to do in person, and he still saw some clues.

For example: in the western frontier of the Ming Dynasty, there will be a war.

It's the beginning of April, and the Governor should be doing something.
