Volume 1, Wisdom Fighting the Capital Chapter 138, Seeking the Same Spirit
Li Zuo said: "Originally, my eldest brother was here, and the two of them were still on a par. Now, the eldest brother has become a prisoner, isn't this court the world of the fourth brother? I have spent half a day of hard work, and I dare to let the fourth brother take the position?...... That's not going to work!"
Pei Caibao said disapprerovingly: "Sixth Master, forgive me for talking too much, the current situation is changing too fast! The King of Chu is down, isn't it the King of Wei who is the only one? I heard that the relationship between the Lord of Zhao and the King of Wei is also the best. Next, the court and the central government don't know how many ministers, lords, and nobles are in a hurry to join the King of Wei! Even if we force Qiu Mingli to resign through the confession of that female prisoner, how much can we move the King of Wei? I'm afraid...... Not only could it not damage him in the slightest, but it was just an enmity with him for no reason! Now, the power of King Wei is in full swing, and there is a small worry......
Li Zuo slapped the table and said angrily: "Pei Caibao, this king is not afraid, you are afraid of him first, are you?!"
Pei Caibao hurriedly stood up, bowed down and saluted: "The little one doesn't dare! The sixth master insists on doing this, and the little one will go back and arrange it!"
Li Zuo waved his hand, asked Pei Caibao to sit down, changed his gentle tone, and said slowly: "Caibao! I know that you are for my good! However, what I let you do has my own reasons." He has been an official for 30 years, has always been honest and honest, and is also capable and old-fashioned, and he is really a rare talent! Now he has won the trust of his father and the emperor, and with him by the side of the fourth brother, the fourth brother is not only like a tiger with wings! It is really too difficult for you to grab him and knock him down once...... This time, he secretly released a female death row inmate, and there must be a hidden secret in it, and this kind of opportunity is really rare! You are so good to take advantage of it, carefully examine it, and make sure to make her an ironclad case! I want to make it impossible for Qiu Mingli to turn over from now on!"
"Subordinates obey orders!" Pei Caibao hurriedly bowed down and agreed.
"That's it for today, this king is also sleepy......" Li Zuo got up, yawned, walked to the door, and finally did not forget to admonish: "You have to remember that a character like Qiu Mingli, ten Xiao Yihong are not as good as him." If it weren't for his help, the fourth brother would have lost more than just an arm......"
Pei Caibao hurriedly stood up, and Nuo Nuo continued to send King Han out of the room.
After Li Zuo left, the old bustard brought two girls with a peugeot figure into the room. This time, Pei Caibao was in an irritable mood, but he had nothing to worry about. With a rare wave of his hand, he let the old bustard lead the two pink women out of the door.
Pei Caibao grabbed a honey-smoked chicken leg at random, put it in his mouth and chewed it, while thinking about how to complete Li Zuo's instructions next. But he thought about it, but he still couldn't think of the best way, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
"Ten Xiao Yihongs, like Qiu Mingli, even if a hundred or a thousand Xiao Yihongs add up, they are not as good as him......! Even if I secretly go to the grass hall tomorrow and arrest that female prisoner, can I really force Qiu Mingli to resign......? How should it end?"
......
It was also February 18, and it was also late at night, Xu Ke and Shu Hattian were riding a yellow horse and walking slowly on the avenue south of Chang'an City. They were followed by a group of dozens of Tsing Yi Guard officers and soldiers. With the light of a full moon above their heads, they could finally see the road under their feet.
Xu Ke suddenly pointed forward with a whip and asked behind him, "What mountain is ahead?"
"Back to the hundred households, in front of Jinding Mountain. A leader behind him stepped forward and said.
Xu Ke saw the gold-topped mountain in front of him, black and swarthy like a monster, lying in front of the left, the mountain is majestic and precipitous, and the mountain fans are full of fans, as if there are some demons and monsters hidden inside. He couldn't help frowning slightly, waved his whip to the left front, and said, "Go to the left, enter the mountain!"
Shu Haotian next to him hurriedly asked: "Brother, it's so late, why don't you go to find a place to stay, what are you going to do in the mountains?"
Xu Ke said: "Brother Shuxian, I smell that Jinding Mountain, it seems that there is a hidden demonic aura, we have been looking for the princess for so many days, and we have found nothing so far, so it is better to go to the mountains to find ......"
Shu hated to see that the officers and soldiers behind him were already tired, and they all showed fear and trouble, and couldn't help but persuade: "Brother who is not sick, I know that you are anxious, but it is already the middle of the night, and everyone has to rest and sleep, so let's go to search the mountain again tomorrow morning, right?"
Ding Chunqiu, who was following behind him, was also busy saying: "Yes, yes, what the old man of the book fairy said is very true! Lord Baihu, the brothers are really hungry and sleepy, why don't we go to the front to find a place to rest first, and let the brothers take a breath......
Xu Ke said in a deep voice: "What a rest! The emperor has set a ten-day deadline for the Lord of Qianhu! It is now the seventh day, but we haven't even found half a shadow of the seventeenth princess! Right now, this deadline is almost up, and you still have the heart to sleep? If you want to sleep, you go to sleep, and I will go up the mountain by myself!"
After that, Xu Ke lifted the reins of the horse, Gu Zi beat the horse and moved forward, and the soldiers had no choice but to continue to follow Xu Ke......
Shu hattian rode on the horse, shook his head, sighed, and had to pick up the reins to follow.
At a fork in the road ahead, Xu Kele turned his horse and entered the trail on the left. Before he could take a few steps forward, he heard the sound of the fast horse behind him, and a person shouted loudly on the horse: "Brother Xu, stay!"
Xu Ke stopped his horse, turned around and looked back, and saw that it was his direct Shangguan Nangong who came quickly, and hurriedly saluted immediately: "Nangong Qianhu, why did you run to the front?"
Nangong said silently: "Brother Xian, it's almost time to be a child, and not far from here is Shuangtuji." The brothers have been running for a day and a night, and they will go and rest for the night first, and then take care of it tomorrow!"
Ding Chunqiu and a cadre of guards behind Xu Ke listened to Lord Nangong's words, as if they heard an amnesty, and they all nodded their heads again and again.
Xu Ke had no choice but to wave his hand at Ding Chunqiu and ordered: "You guys go first, find an inn to live in Shuangtuji, if there is no guest room, and live in firewood intervals, don't disturb the people!"
Ding Chunqiu received the order, and then led a group of his subordinates to go forward along the avenue. Nangong asked silently, "Brother Xian, aren't you going to rest?"
Xu Ke said: "Brother Nangong, this mountain is quite strange, the younger brother must go to investigate first......"
Nangong said without saying a word: "In this way, the foolish brother will go up the mountain with you!"
Xu Ke hurriedly stopped: "Brother Nangong, there are still dozens of people coming behind here, so many people, if there is no Brother Nangong to sit in the formation, the younger brother is afraid that they will disturb the local residents." Brother Nangong still went to the town first. There is the old brother of the book fairy to accompany me, although Brother Nangong can rest assured, it will not take long, the younger brother will come to the town to meet the brothers!"
"Okay, Brother Xian, be careful!" Nangong
Without saying a word, he had to turn the horse's head, and he also slightly arched his hand with Shu Haotian behind Xu Ke, and as soon as he clamped the horse's belly between his legs, he walked along the avenue.
Leaving Shu hate, he rolled his eyes at Xu Ke and said, "You want to go to the mountain to find the little girl, why do you have to pull me to the old man of the Book Fairy! You still don't let me sleep as an old man in the middle of the night, do you still have a little respect for the elderly!"
Xu Ke smiled and said: "Lord Shuxian, isn't the middle of the night when you are in the most energetic mood? I haven't seen you go to bed so early on weekdays!"
Shu Haotian snorted, held his head high and ignored Xu Ke, and as soon as his legs clamped the horse's belly, he walked along the mountain road on the left side.
The two walked for a while, and then they arrived at the foot of Jinding Mountain. There were rough mountain roads ahead, and at this point, the horses could no longer go uphill. The two of them could only dismount, found a big tree, tied the yellow horse, each took a breath of true qi, performed light skills, and went straight to the top of the mountain.
At this time, at midnight, the full moon was gradually sinking in the west, and the sky was darker. In the Jinding Mountain, everything is silent, Xu Ke and Shu Haotian use the faint moonlight to climb all the way. The two of them only heard the sound of the mountain wind in their ears, blowing in bursts. In the deep valley in the distance, from time to time there will be the chirping of nightingales, the voice is like weeping, leisurely, like a lonely old man, independent of the mountains, let out a few sad sighs......
The night is dark and the wind is high, the mountains are steep, Xu Ke and Shu Haotian are both relying on the courage of the masters, and they don't take these things into account. The two of them walked all the way, and after about an hour, they had already climbed halfway up the mountain, and they saw that they could climb to the top of the mountain in about half an hour.
From time to time in the mountains there were hares, squirrels, roe deer, and fawns, which flew past the two of them. Shu hated Tianjian and ran for more than an hour, but still found nothing, and was quite impatient in his heart, so he said:
"I said no disease, brother, this is almost to the top of the mountain, what are you talking about'demonic energy'...... Where the hell is it? In the middle of the night, my old man has been climbing hard for an hour, and he has just drunk a belly of northwest wind!"
Xu Ke also wondered in his heart: "Strange! I just felt an extremely strong breath, just like the black bear spirit I smelled next to the ancient temple of Yushan that day. How did you get here...... It's gone!"
With that, he shrugged his nose again and inhaled hard in all directions beside him......
Shu Haotian couldn't help but be amused when he saw Xu Ke half-bowing his waist and sticking out his nose to sniff everywhere. He pointed at Xu Ke's nose and laughed, "The way you smell it...... How can you be like my senior brother Gou...... Hahaha, laughing to death!"
Xu Ke suddenly waved his hand, made a silent gesture, and said: "There is! This breath is here again, go! Just ahead......
Seeing that Xu Ke had already raised his breath and hurried to the right front, Shu Haotian had no choice but to suppress his laughter and follow closely. The two walked a few hundred steps to the right, but Xu Ke suddenly stopped, and wondered: "Strange, this demonic spirit, why is it ......gone?"
Shu hattian said irritably: "Ahem! What kind of broken nose are you! I really thought you had a dog nose......
Suddenly, Xu Ke suddenly waved his hand again, and this time, Shu Hatian had also heard it clearly, and a woman's moaning and shouting were coming from their side continuously.
"Ouch...... Someone's coming...... Come and save me...... It hurts me to death!"
