Chapter 8: The Two Great Favorites

It stands to reason that I "strayed" into a private house in order to chase the thief, which can be explained to them, but it is strange that they can explain it clearly given their fierce attitude. There is no other way but to break through.

So I took a defensive stance, stepped on the footwork of Jeet Kune Do, and kept jumping briskly, flexibly, and quickly.

Bruce Lee said, "The art of movement is the essence of martial arts. ”

As expected, the officers and soldiers, because they had never seen this kind of kung fu, all showed inexplicable expressions, and they probably thought that the thief had been caught, because they were afraid of the future punishment, and suddenly went crazy. For a moment, everyone was stunned and forgot their duties.

I took the opportunity to move in front of the soldiers closest to the courtyard wall, and suddenly struck a left hook into the chin of one of the soldiers, who obviously did not expect that I would be the first to deal with him, and in a shock, he actually sat on the ground.

I didn't expect this guy to be so bad, I missed a punch, and the soldier next to me immediately swung his knife at me, I flashed sideways and then spun around, followed by the momentum, and hit him hard in the soft underbelly with my elbow.

"Oops. He shouted and took a few steps back. I flew up and kicked him into the crowd, and immediately several of them were hit by his body and fell to the ground together.

Hey, that's what I want, fly past them, take out the speed of the Olympic 100-meter sprint and run towards the courtyard wall, just thinking about escaping over the wall.

At this moment, a man suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and without saying a word, he punched me in the face.

I was running at a high speed, and I couldn't stop it, and I was about to hit his fist, and in a hurry, I took advantage of the momentum of running, and my right arm stretched outward to exert force, and immediately came a 360-degree gong rotation plus the "flat rotation" in the ballet, like a whirlwind, and slipped straight away from the fist to the right dangerously, (now I know the benefits of the gong turn.) Then he "tailwinded the flag" with both arms, bowed his right leg and stretched his left leg back, and made a beautiful appearance.

Of course, I couldn't hear the applause, only the "Good!"

I retracted the cold sweat on my forehead, looked at the voice, dressed in a black night suit, with a veil on my face, only showing a pair of eyes looking at me with blazing eyes, although I couldn't see his face clearly, but I felt that he was very young, it was the "thief" I identified, and seeing the officers and soldiers gathered around him, I realized that it was my own judgment that was wrong.

A soldier, the one who was scared down before the fist arrived, at this time the three souls and seven spirits were all in place, probably in order to save face, he pointed a knife at me viciously and said: "Bold thief, don't you catch it yet?"

The man in black snorted coldly, and the soldier shrank his neck and obediently stepped aside.

The man in black took a few steps, clasped his fists at me, and said politely: "It seems that Your Excellency's technique is indeed Feier, and I want to ask for a few tricks, please give me advice." ”

I rolled my eyes and bargained, "What if you lose?"

He said cheerfully: "I lost, let you go." ”

"It's a deal. ”

Before I could finish speaking, I struck with a right hook.

This kid didn't make a sound about me just now, and now it's not too much for me to concoct it.

This person really didn't give it for nothing, he dodged briskly, and then slapped my shoulder with a palm, his movements were calm and powerful. I was short, and I gave him a "sweeping mantis leg", and he jumped up, got up in the air, and kicked me in the head, faster than lightning. In fact, I could have punched him in the center of the foot, but at this time I already felt sorry for him, and I was afraid that I would hurt the muscles on the bottom of his foot, so I quickly retreated.

Since I came to the Han Dynasty, this person is the most powerful opponent I have ever seen, such a calm bearing, agile skills, ruthless fists and feet, faintly have the demeanor of everyone, I don't know how much higher than Guo Jie. If he continues to fight, he will be defeated by me in less than half an hour, but it is enough to surprise me.

When he saw that I didn't move, he didn't move, I looked at him and smiled slightly: "Your kung fu is good, but you are not my opponent yet." ”

He raised his head, his posture was quite arrogant, and said, "You won't know until you have beaten it." ”

After saying that, I attacked him, and I fought with him again, this time I didn't let it go, and I used all my strength to face it, so that he could know what it was that there were people outside the sky. Frustrating his pride as a young man would be good for his future.

The two of us jumped up and down with fists and feet on the field, entangled for a while, and "bang" each other.

Bruce Lee said, "The art of movement is the essence of martial arts. ”

I use all the essence of Jeet Kune Do: straight forehand, straight backhand, uppercut, hook, whip, flat elbow, top elbow, reverse elbow, sliding step, flash step, side kick, hook kick, whip kick, knee punch, ......

I could only hear the officers and men exclaiming together "ah" for a while, and then the sound of "oops" was stacked on top of each other, and some people even kept jumping around with the change in the direction of our fight, which was extremely funny.

Because of his full strength, the speed was extremely fast, and his whole body was covered by my attack like the wind, and in less than half an hour, he was already sweating like rain, and he was powerless. (Actually, I'm also tired)

Seeing that he was dying, I shook him to distract him, and then quickly punched him in the left eye, but he didn't have time to dodge, his eyes closed and waited to turn into a panda.

My fist stopped in front of his eyes and froze, he waited for a long time without moving, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a bright fist in front of his eyes.

I smiled slyly at him, lowered my fist and said, "I can go." ”

He sighed, raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and said, "Your Excellency is really a good means, and I admire it very much, but Your Excellency still can't go." ”

When I heard this, I was furious: "You, you are a villain without faith. ”

Suddenly, a voice came from the side: "It's not him who won't let you go, it's me." ”

I turned my head to look, and saw the officers and soldiers flashing to the sides in a dramatic manner, and one person in a brocade costume looked at me with a smile on his face.

This person's voice...... It's all a little cooked.

He smiled: "It's been a long time, Liu Gongzi." ”

I thought about it: "How can it be you?" ”

This young man in brocade clothes is one of the people I met when I first fell into ancient times--Wei Jun.

Wei Jun waved his hand, and a group of soldiers lowered their hands and retreated. The man in black walked up to him, and then took off his veil, and when I saw his face, I almost froze, this man was actually the one I had just received from the disciple who was going to make him the chief disciple...... Jian Yue!

There must be a conspiracy!

I gritted my teeth and looked at the two of them coldly: "Wei Jun, Jian Yue, you really surprised me." ”

Jian Yue glared at Wei Jun strangely and said, "Who is Wei Jun?"

Wei Jun grinned and said, "It's just borrowing your surname, don't mind." Saying that, he came over and saluted me, and said: "I didn't know the identity of Liu Gongzi because I met before, so I didn't tell him with my real name. ”

Yes?

There were so many surprises that I had tonight, so I just opened my mouth this time.

Han Yan, the grandson of Gong Gaohou Han Yandang (his brain automatically slid through the information about this person), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's playmate when he was a child, and his relationship with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is said to be very unusual. (The thought of that might be that kind of relationship makes my hair stand on end, and I'm a staunch heterosexual.) )

Han Yan is good at riding horses and archery, and is good at flattery. Emperor Wu ascended the throne and wanted to crusade against the Xiongnu, Han Yan first practiced the weapons of the Xiongnu, so he became more and more noble, and his official position was promoted to the rank of doctor.

This person is good at playing slingshots, "often using gold as a pill, and losing more than ten people a day." For a while, there was a popular saying in Chang'an City, "Bitter hunger and cold, chasing gold pills!". Every time Han Yan was coerced out of the line, there would be many children behind her, to pick up the golden projectile that Han Yan lost, a very corrupt gentleman, who has always been a favored minister, will not end well, Han Yan is the same, and finally offended the queen mother, was given death, and was unfortunately listed in "The Legend of Yu Xing" after death.

Thinking about the Han Dynasty for so long, I only met two famous people in history, but they were not good things. It's not a good thing, it doesn't end well, I don't know what luck I had.

Although people later memorized the words, but now they are still in good luck, and I am naturally a common person who can't afford to offend, not to mention that he concealed his name, that is, he hit me with a hundred "gold pills", don't I have to bear it?

Oh! What did Han Yan say just now to borrow Jian Yue's surname? Then Jian Yue is not surnamed Jian but Wei? I was shocked in my heart, no, it wouldn't be him. I looked Jian Yue up and down, and I could see that his face was red.

Han Yan was very interested in my performance and said, "Liu Gongzi, don't you have a fancy for Zhongqing?" ”

Sure enough, it's him! Wei Qing Wei Zhongqing!

I retracted my gaze and muttered, "I can't think of it, I can't think of it......" I straightened my color, ignored Han Yan and asked Wei Qingdao: "Lord Wei, you are not on an errand in the palace, why are you going to run away with a fake name? What is the purpose? And you ......" turned to Han Yan, "What the hell are you doing?"

Wei Qing and Han Yan looked at each other and smiled, and Han Yan said to me respectfully: "Young Master Liu, if you want to know the reason, please come in and talk about it in detail." ”

Judging by their expressions, it was as if something really important was going on.

Entering Han Yan's study and sitting down, Han Yan said: "We went hunting in Nanshan a while ago, but who knew that we were assassinated inexplicably on the way back. After the breakup, I sent someone to the mountain village to find the son, and wanted to ask the son to meet in Chang'an, and then repay the grace of saving his life, but when my men arrived in the village, they found that someone was secretly spying on the son......"

When I heard this, I was stunned and spied on me? Why didn't I notice it with my super alertness?

Han Yan continued: "My subordinate was originally a clever man, he didn't bother the son, and came straight back to report to me. I discussed with Zhong Qing and felt that this matter was extremely unusual, so I sent someone to follow the snooping person......"

I couldn't help but ask, "What does Lord Han mean when he says unusual?"

Han Yan coughed, and said unnaturally: "In distress that day, Childe descended from the sky to relieve the siege for us, and then saw those strange and clever objects in Childe's hands, we were not surprised, especially what, it was a weapon in Childe's hand that hurt people, not a sword or a sword, not any weapon I have seen in my life, but this kind of sharp weapon is rare in the world, if I asked Childe at that time, Childe may not tell the truth, so I ......"

"So when you go back, send someone to plan to use the stolen one." "I don't expose him lightly. Why ask me to meet in Chang'an and then repay the grace of saving my life, coveting my gun is true.

Han Yan's face turned red and argued: "Anyone in the world will be moved when they see that weapon, let alone me." Now the Xiongnu are invading the border, killing my people, lewd my women, His Majesty the Emperor is strong, sooner or later there will be a war with the Xiongnu, as a minister, if I can find such a sharp weapon for my Han army, why worry about the Han Dynasty, the Huns will not be destroyed?"

I retracted my mocking look and admitted that he was right. If I switch places with him, I'm afraid that I will do even more, but in comparison, he will be polite.

I asked, "If you're right, then who is spying on me?"

I don't know if that guy saw me taking a bath, but if he knew who he was, he would have to be blind.

Seeing that I no longer blamed him, he continued: "My men never saw her face, only a woman. ”

Oh, I'm relieved.

He added: "I wanted to warn Childe, but I thought of one thing, so I put it aside. He looked at me with sparkling eyes, clearly asking me to guess what was going on.

I'm certainly not stupid, and when I think about it, I understand: "You saw my hand that day...... In addition to you, there are also those men in black, and they may not be uninterested in what you are interested in, so that woman must be someone they sent. Lord Han, you want to find out who attacked you, right? ”

Han Yan smiled and nodded: "Those people are really bold, they dare to ...... I dare to assassinate me, and the origin must be not small, and if I do not find out who did it, how can I be at ease?"

My mind was racing, "I dare to even ......" What does it mean to be a meal here? Obviously, there are still unspoken words, could it be that those people are not dealing with him Han Yan, but someone else?

Without allowing me to think about it, he continued: "So I secretly sent someone to check, who knew that the woman who spied never appeared again, I discussed with Zhong Qing many times, and decided to wait, those people have different ambitions, and they will never stop there." So he sent people to keep an eye on the mountain village every day. When it finally came, it wasn't the woman, but a man. He rummaged through the son's room, but did not find the weapon, but took a jade ring, and at this moment an old man came, and scared her away. My subordinates tracked all the way, who knew that as soon as they entered Chang'an, they lost their traces, and then Gongzi came to Chang'an, that is, there were rumors that Gongzi was going to open a museum to teach apprentices, I discussed with Zhongqing, and felt that this matter was too suspicious, and decided to let him go to apprenticeship, and then lead Gongzi here. ”

I see.

I glanced at Wei Qing, who had been silent, and it seemed that this chief disciple had no chance with me.

"Is that what you brought me here to tell me this? I said.

This time Wei Qing finally spoke: "As soon as Mr. entered Chang'an, he couldn't wait to open the museum to teach apprentices, Wang Sun and I always thought it was strange, but it was inconvenient to meet in public, so I used this trick to lure Mr. here." ”

At this time, although Wei Qing was not nameless, he was only a Taizhong doctor who commanded the Qimen army, and he was still a few steps away from General Sima. There are not many people who know him, so he can change his name to Xiao Liu Pavilion.

But it's not right, the history books let the records record that before Guo Xie moved to Maoling, Wei Qing seemed to have spoken for him in front of the emperor, and he and Guo Xie should know each other.

So he asked Wei Qing: "Do you know Guo Xie as an adult?"

Wei Qing shook his head and said: "I only heard his name, but I didn't see him, I thought he was a good man with a brave heart and chivalry, and he once spoke for him in front of His Majesty." Now it seems that ......" didn't say anything below, it seems that something made his impression of Guo Xie turn bad.

I have never seen anyone to intercede for others, this Wei young man Ji has such a chivalrous temperament, and he deserves to go down in history.

Han Yan was a little out of breath, and urged me to ask, "Childe, what is the reason for the opening of the museum?"

I also had doubts about this matter, so I told the truth about the situation, and when I finished speaking, I looked at them, and they looked at me, and everyone fell silent for a while.

After a long time, Han Yan muttered: "This matter is very strange, Guo Xie is a small citizen in the market, although he is called a chivalrous guest, he is actually no different from a bandit, he is in such a hurry to open the museum, and he sent his own guests to learn art, what is my intention?"

Wei Qing glanced at him, their eyes lit up at the same time, and they all said in unison: "Could it be that he also means this?"

I was impatient with them playing dumb riddles in front of me, and asked, "What is that?" and what does he mean?"

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and Han Yan said: "It's not a secret, we originally planned to invite Gongzi to enter the court as an official and serve the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty." ”

This time it was really unexpected, they had such a mind?

Think about it, but what is the use of getting guns? There are only three, and they can't make them, and when they run out of bullets, it's a piece of scrap iron, so it's better to master the owner of the gun, so maybe there are guns, and the instructor also has them. They didn't think that I could only use guns, not make guns.

But for sure, they're smart people.

My heart moved, could it be that Guo Xie also had this kind of thought? No, he is not an official, and he doesn't want to rebel ......?!

Rebel?

My face must have changed. Han Yan said: "Childe, didn't you also think of it?"

He was in a hurry to open a martial arts hall and send the guests in, because he wanted me to set the name of master and apprentice with them, to become a grasshopper on a rope, and he couldn't run, (God knows how cruel the ancient system of joint sitting was) and then trained them to become masters, and then found a way for me to have to join them, and then what?

I can't help but shudder at the thought of this.

If it's true, it's horrible.

But there are still doubts, according to the history books, there is no record of Guo Jie's participation in any organization that attempted to subvert the imperial court, so is the book wrong, or am I wrong?

My mind fluctuated, and the two of them didn't look much better.

Wei Qing suddenly said slowly: "I suspect that Mr. has met Guo Xie from the beginning, and it is a layout. ”

My heart sank, and that's exactly what I had just thought.

"But he did meet me that day after being hunted down by officers and soldiers. "I questioned.

Han Yan said: "It was indeed a small official who died that night, according to the captain of the city gate, he was assassinated and died, and the assassin escaped. ”

Wei Qing said coldly: "Guo Xie killed someone, is it still a miracle?"

Yes, he is a thug who kills people without blinking, and it is not unusual if he really kills a petty official for any purpose.

I felt a headache! What's the matter? Could it be that I traveled all the way to the Han Dynasty just to get myself involved in such a tricky incident?

Han Yan said: "If Guo Xie rebelled, there is no reason and no possibility......"

Wei Qing said: "So there must be someone else behind him." ”

I stood up and said, "Whether it's the court or the gangsters, it has nothing to do with me, and I will immediately ask Guo Xie for resignation when I go back." ”

Han Yan narrowed her eyes and smiled and asked, "Could it be that you forgot Hetian Yu?"

I glared at him, he smiled like a fox, and he really had the ability to be a male pet.

But Hetian Yu ...... In one more day, the deadline for Guo Xie to confess will come, as if a person like him will definitely do what he says, I ...... Didn't want to let go of this opportunity.

I sat back slowly, like a deflated ball.

Wei Qing said pertinently: "Sir, don't worry, and see if Guo Xie can hand over the person at that time, and who will hand it over, if this person can really get back Hetian Yu, we have to think about it differently, if he can't hand it over, there must be something strange in it." ”

I understand what he means, Wei Qing suspects that Guo Xie is not the one who steals the jade, at least he is also an insider, and now Hetian jade has become a method to blackmail me, and it is a very effective method, if Guo Xie really has a ghost in his heart, he will never hand over the jade to me, if he hands over the jade ring, it proves that he does not have any conspiracy as we think.

But there are still doubts, and that doubt is: Guo Jie, no...... To be precise, it is a jade thief, how does he know that Hetian jade is very important and very important to me?

Not only that, but now even Han Yan and Wei Qing know my Achilles' heel, which is only bad for me.

Also, there may be something I missed out on.

I want to think about it, I want to be quiet and think about it......

Wei Qing said: "It's better to be like this, my husband and I will pretend to have nothing to do and return to Xiao Liu Pavilion temporarily, and we will find out in two days." ”

What else can be done about this?

Bidding farewell to Han Yan and avoiding the soldiers patrolling the streets, I went back to Xiao Liu Pavilion with Wei Qing and the others, and halfway through, I suddenly jumped up and shouted softly: "It's not good." ”

Wei Qing was stunned and asked urgently: "What's the matter?"

I didn't have time to answer, so I ran with my leg raised, and Wei Qing followed closely and asked, "Sir, why are you so panicked?"

I was angry and anxious, and said, "Those three...... weapons, (in a hurry, they almost said the word 'gun', but even if they said it, they didn't know what 'gun' was.) Usually I carry it with me, but tonight I was in a hurry to chase you and didn't bring it out, if it was taken away by someone with ill intentions, I don't know what kind of mess would happen. ”

Wei Qing's face changed when he heard this, and he quickened his pace and ran forward first.

He's in a bit more anxious than I am.

When I came to Xiao Liu Pavilion, for the sake of secrecy, we didn't go through the main entrance and climbed over the wall, and quickly came to my room, too late to light the lamp, I strode forward and touched under the pillow, and a heart immediately returned to its original place.

The gun lay there with a good hand.

Wei Qing fumbled for the fuel lamp, and when the light came on, my face turned pale, the gun was indeed still there, but one was missing!
