On this day, Wang Changsheng, who had been staying for many days, finally returned to Kyoto, Dazhongguo. Maybe it's because of the change of appearance and stealth and disappearing, or maybe it's because there are too few fairy characters flying around in this world, and the road is probably quite smooth.

In the past, Wang Changsheng had received a letter from Sima Fazheng, the former military advisor and now Dazai. The letter said that Han Tiehu died at the hands of Wen Dao, but the strange thing is that it was only a brief description and did not describe it in detail. In addition, it was a little inconvenient for Wang Changsheng to come forward at this time, so Wang Changsheng wanted to go to see Sima Fazheng first. At this time, in the afternoon, in order to avoid revealing his whereabouts, Wang Changsheng decided to act at night. Wang Changsheng was wearing a dough, and he looked like a middle-aged scholar at this time. In addition, Wang Changsheng was already fond of reading, so Wang Changsheng wanted to go to the bookstore while it was still early.

"Ichiha Shoten" is the largest bookstore in Kyoto, boasting the largest number of books in the world. As soon as Wang Changsheng entered the bookstore, a small servant came up to greet him. Wang Changsheng said that he wanted to find some books about immortals and fantasy. The little servant's face was a little surprised, and after all, he didn't say anything and turned around to find a book for Wang Changsheng. After a while, the little servant returned to Wang Changsheng with a few books, Wang Changsheng only glanced at it, then waved his hand and refused to accept it on the grounds that he had read them all.

The little servant replied very politely: "All the published ones are here, which disappoints Mr. Wang Changsheng has indeed read these books, and most of the novels contained in the books are romances, which are far from what Wang Changsheng wants. Along the way, I passed countless bookstores, and the most complete one was this bookstore. When he came to the largest bookstore in Kyoto, he still didn't get anything, and Wang Changsheng was indeed disappointed.

However, Wang Changsheng decided to work harder again, so he raised his voice a little and said: "It's the same as what other stores sell, it seems that 'Yiye Bookstore' is just a vain name." ”

This not very polite remark alarmed the shopkeeper on the counter, an old man with a gray beard. The old shopkeeper led Wang Changsheng to the second floor, took out a book and handed it to Wang Changsheng. Wang Changsheng's black book, I saw that the book cover was written with a few big words "Alien Spirit Object Record". The book is brand new but has a quaint taste, about two inches thick. Wang Changsheng was about to open it, but was stopped by the old shopkeeper.

The old shopkeeper said: "This book seems to be new, but in fact it is older than me! ”

Although the old shopkeeper did not directly mention the money, Wang Changsheng naturally knew it in his heart, so he mentioned it. The old shopkeeper asked for 20 taels of silver, you must know that Wang Changsheng was only 300 taels when he was the commander of the three armies. If it weren't for Wang Changsheng's secret attempt with deep internal strength, the written text would not have been damaged in the slightest as the old shopkeeper said, and Wang Changsheng would have suspected that the old shopkeeper had deliberately opened his mouth. The material of this book is so special, I think that the text contained in the book must not be general, and finally Wang Changsheng bought the book at a sky-high price of 20 taels of silver.

Open the first page of the book and tell the origin of the book. According to the book, this "Record of Extra-Spiritual Objects" was compiled by a practitioner named Jin Shengkai. The book records all kinds of spiritual things that Jin Shengkai saw and heard when he traveled. Further down the page is to introduce some herbaceous plants that have never been seen before, and with pictures. But when Wang Changsheng turned to the fifth page, it was blank, and the rest was the same. Wang Changsheng closed the book and just wanted to ask the old shopkeeper. But seeing the old shopkeeper with a smile in his eyes, he was subconsciously about to hand over the 20 taels of silver tickets that had just arrived.

Wang Changsheng changed his attention, said goodbye and turned to leave. The old shopkeeper is not short of money, compared with 20 taels of silver, the old shopkeeper is actually more precious than the black books that have been in the store for many years. In fact, he didn't really want to sell, he just wanted to use this to tease Wang Changsheng, who dared to speak disrespectfully in the store. He was thinking that after Wang Changsheng paid the money, he would be annoyed and angry when he saw that the book only had a few pages, and he had to shout for the money to be returned. How do you know that Wang Changsheng is not an ordinary person, so he accepted the books, and left the shopkeeper to regret it. Wang Changsheng was amazed at the hardness of the books, and he couldn't hurt the books in the end by all kinds of means.

That night, Wang Changsheng performed light skills and came to the mansion of Sima Fazheng, the Dazai of the current dynasty. Outside Sima Fazheng's bedroom by moonlight, Wang Changsheng was about to dodge in. But he didn't think about it, and then he suddenly found that his shadow under the moonlight had a different movement from his own. Then a pitch-black dagger appeared from the shadows and stabbed Wang Changsheng's back waist. The speed of the dagger was extremely fast, and Wang Changsheng seemed to be motionless as if he was unaware of it. The strange thing was that the dagger was only a few inches away from Wang Changsheng, and suddenly stopped moving forward.

The black shadow recognized Wang Changsheng and hurriedly put away the dagger, bowed and left. At this time, a voice came from the house: "But Wang Shuai is here?" It turned out that Sima Fazheng had already heard the noise outside the house, so he asked out loud. Wang Changsheng flashed into the house, and Sima Fazheng, who had just lit the lamp, wanted to step forward to salute when he saw Wang Changsheng. Wang Changsheng took two steps forward and clasped his hands and said, "How can Mr. Fa Zheng be like this today? Wang Changsheng is here today, and I hope that Mr. Fa Zheng will only treat each other as a friend and chat a few words. ”

After the two of them sat down, Sima Fazheng said: "When I heard the news from Wang Shuai a few days ago, Fazheng was always uneasy in his heart, I don't know what was going on?" Wang Changsheng then explained in detail the old beggar he met on the road before. Sima Fazheng was very surprised when he heard this, and said, "Is there really a master in the world like the Flying Feather Dao Leader?"

Wang Changsheng sighed lightly and said, "Although it is not as good as Feiyu Dao Chang, it feels that it is not far behind. And although such a person is rare in the world, he is not just a few people. I had no choice but to sneak away and visit late at night. ”

Sima Fazheng bowed slightly and said, "Let Wang Shuai suffer for the sake of the country and the soldiers." Wang Changsheng said: "I only hope that the country will be prosperous, and those who have meritorious service can enjoy peace with the people." Sima Fazheng sensed the deep meaning in Wang Changsheng's words, and was immediately speechless.

After a pause, Sima Fazheng blamed himself and said: "Wang Shuai entrusted the Iron Tiger Brother to my mansion because of his trust in me, and I didn't care enough about him and didn't take good care of him. ”

Speaking of Han Tiehu, Wang Changsheng's face was a little unnatural. Wang Changsheng asked seemingly calmly: "My Iron Tiger righteous brother is born with divine power and has obtained the true inheritance of the divine monk, it is not easy for me to defeat him, how can Wen Dao harm him?

Looking at Wang Changsheng's appearance, Sima Fazheng said with some reluctance: "After you left, Wen Dao felt hopeless to harm you, so he had a bad intention to kill Tiehu in retaliation. But he couldn't kill Tiehu with martial arts, so he gave his granddaughter's life for this. He deliberately scolded people to secretly promote Wen Min and Tiehu to fall in love, but after the matter was completed, he strongly opposed the relationship between the two, so he forced Wen Min to death. The Tiehu brothers were very affectionate, and they committed suicide on the day they learned of Wen Min's death. ”

When Wang Changsheng heard this, he finally couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, got up and roared angrily: "Wendao Lao'er, you deceived me too much. Wang Changsheng will kill you. ”

Feeling Wang Changsheng's killing intent, Sima Fazheng's body trembled slightly. Wang Changsheng's eyes were slightly moist and he looked at Sima Fazheng, and the intimacy in his eyes was no longer there. Sitting back in his seat, Wang Changsheng said to Sima Fazheng: "Mr. is the dragon and phoenix among people, and he also has supernatural talents. Han Tiehu and I have never read any books, and we have always had great respect for talented people like Mr. Especially in Han Tiehu's million-strong army, except for me, only he has the most respect for Mr. I know that my husband is obsessed, and it is caused by the old emperor killing your father in a foolish manner. It was because Mr. had been trying to assist me in the upper position all these years, and then killed the children of the Su family. It's just that the old emperor has died indirectly at your hands, and revenge can be regarded as revenge. Woe to his wife and childrenNow that the young emperor is young and promising, if I replace the national economy and the people's livelihood, it will do more harm than good, so I left when the class teacher returned to the court. I don't know if my husband understood what I meant at the time? Now it seems that whether or not I left, my departure did not make him give up the idea in his heart. It's just that since I'm gone, how can I come back? My brother-in-law Han Tiehu is dead, so naturally I want to come back. The wisdom of Wendao is far worse than that of Mr. Haoyue. If Mr. is interested, and those outsiders don't make a move, ten Wen Dao don't want to harm Han Tiehu. ”

After listening to Wang Changsheng's words, Sima Fazheng's long-suppressed guilt finally broke out, and he was silent for a long time like tears. After Sima Fazheng calmed down, he said to Wang Changsheng: "I, Sima Fazheng, was blindfolded by an enemy word, and I wasted my years in obsession, and now I am so unbearable. These days, I have been condemned by my conscience day and night, and I can't sleep even more when I think about the iron tiger. I also asked Wang Shuai to send me to see the Tiehu brothers so that I could apologize in person. ”

Wang Changsheng said: "Just like Wen Dao and others brutalizing the innocent, it is impossible to live." Mr. has not harmed anyone, but he is just a cold bystander and happy to see it, but he is not guilty of violating the law, I can't send you. Wang Changsheng's words were more powerful than a sword for Sima Fazheng, making him ashamed. Sima Fazheng said: "It's okay, there is no need for Wang Shuai to do it." ”

As he spoke, he untied his belt and wanted to hang himself by hanging himself. Wang Changsheng sighed lightly and said: "Before, the Xuan Steward sent me a letter saying that the son of Tongtian Wu had arrived in the territory of my Great Loyalty Country, and those high-ranking people outside the world could find me trouble at any time, so I couldn't stay in Kyoto for a long time, and it may be that I couldn't stay for a long time. My heart wishes that the country can be rich and the people can be strong, and the meritorious people can enjoy peace in peace. Some of the generals who conquered Dameng were newly promoted by me, and although their martial arts were prosperous, they did not benefit the people, and they lacked experience as officials. Some of them don't even know a single big word, and these people still need to be taught. There are many people who have made contributions to new victories in wars, and there are many people who are proud of their achievements, and most of the martial artists have left no room for over-rigidity. The literati's swords are too sharp, and they are more powerful than their swords, and I am afraid that they did not die in the hands of the barbarians, but in the hands of their own people. These people also need to be strictly disciplined and arrange for them to do what they can, so as not to be idle and reckless. In the army, except for me and Wen Laoshuai, Mr. Wei can make all the generals obey, and there are arrangements for those who dare to disobey regardless of whether they are good or bad. Please hesitate to do so. ”

Leaving Sima Fazheng's bedroom, Wang Changsheng's anger did not decrease slightly. Came to the courtyard and shouted: "Where is the wind?" A tall figure in a night suit appeared, knelt down on one knee and responded: "The Xuanzimen Shadow Guard is here." Wang Changsheng took out a tiger head token and threw it to "Hurricane" and instructed: "Pass my handsome order: Zhao Lingbao of the Ling Xiao cavalry battalion led the men and horses of the headquarters to capture and kill Fu Tihu in the camp in the north of the city, and I want to see Fu Tihu's head when it is dawn." Ordered the infantry battalion Zhou Qing to first capture and kill his uncle Li Zhou, and then enter the imperial city to kill Hou Guan, the head of the eunuch party. If there is any obstruction, it will be killed. The "Tempest" was ordered to go. The smell of blood in Kyoto was so strong that many people never saw the sun the next day.

At dawn the next day, there were ten gates and ten forbidden gates in Kyoto. In the imperial city, the court was lined up on both sides, but the prince Su Shichang, the old handsome Fu Tihu, and Shangshu Wendao were not present.

Outside the main gate of the Wen Mansion, Wang Changsheng looked solemn, his eyes were calm, and he stood quietly with his knife, falling into memories and not knowing what he was thinking. Behind Wang Changsheng stood more than a dozen unusual people, all with long bows on their backs. A breeze seemed to frighten Wang Changsheng, making him tremble slightly. After coming back to his senses, Wang Changsheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he instructed the people behind him: "The good student inspector must not let the people in the Wenfu leave without authorization, nor let the carrier pigeon fly out of the hospital. Everyone clasped their fists in unison and said "yes". After that, it was just a flick of his fingers, and he showed his skills, moved and jumped, and disappeared.

Wang Changsheng drew his knife out of the sheath and walked towards Wenfu. Xu is people in the mansion had already noticed it, and at the same time, six figures came out of the gate of the Wen Mansion. All six of them covered their faces with black veils, and each of them held a sword in front of the door. Wang Changsheng was stopped on the way, so he stopped and said: "Ben Shuai is here today to avenge his personal revenge, not to harm his wife and children, not to affect relatives and friends, and to retire as soon as possible to ensure safety." ”

I don't know who of the six people replied: "We know the prestige of the handsome man, and if it is something, we will not dare to stand upright in front of the handsome man." However, it is necessary to repay the kindness of others, and it is impossible to leave even if it is against the condemnation of the world. ”

Wang Changsheng Huwei said in a deep voice: "Yi'er and other martial arts can't stop me, if you don't retreat, you will die." For some reason, all six of them were silent and did not answer. At this point, Wang Changsheng didn't say much, and went forward with a mention of internal force. Who knew that until the front of the Wenfu, the six people were still just standing upright and did not take the blade to face the battle.

Seeing this, Wang Changsheng stopped again and said, "You can't shake your boss if you do this." ”

One of the six people bowed down and saluted: "Shuai Ye drove out the Tartars, he is deeply loved by the people, and my brothers are also respected, and they will never dare to use tricks to coax Shuai Ye." It's just that I'm in a dilemma and helpless, this is the case, the handsome man doesn't have to be embarrassed by this, I can repay the kindness if I die, and there is no resentment. I only ask the handsome master not to remove the black veil covering our faces after I die, so as not to let the wives and children of the family be poked in the backbone by the people of my great loyalty. After saying that, he threw away his blades and did not resist, but he did not get out of the way, and still blocked the door with his flesh and blood.

It is difficult to repay the kindness of the world, so the righteous gentleman is unwilling to accept the grace of others easily.
