Chapter Twenty-Three: The Flood (Part II)

Zhou Tieqi's voice fell, and the courtyard suddenly became quiet.

The commander of the 3,000 pro-army marquis of Zhenjiao, backed by a martial marquis in the realm of supernatural powers, holds the right to arrest and interrogate, and is placed in the capital division where high-ranking officials and lords are gathered, the official position is not very high, but the power and authority are amazing, I am afraid that the general of the forbidden army who usually commands ten thousand horsemen will also give three points of courtesy when he encounters it.

Liu Tugou was silent for a long time, and suddenly grinned, revealing a mouthful of fine white teeth: "Hou Ye casually dropped such a big piece of fat, I don't know how many jackals will covet it, it is really a good means, good spirit, and good heart!"

He praised people at any time, but he was sarcastic and ridiculed, and obviously didn't like the way the prison marquis did it.

Zhou Tiechi's face was slightly gloomy: "Although Zhou Tian is big, it can fall on ordinary people like you and me who still eat fireworks in the world, and it is just a small world under your head and feet, since you have entered the edict, how can you turn a blind eye to this piece of fat? Even if you don't see it, there will still be people who think you are in the way." What's more, what you said and did in the past, although it was a bit nonsense, but it can also be called ambitious, isn't this position of capital unification just in line with you?"

Liu Tugou shook his head: "What I want in my heart, I can take it by myself, I will never be rare for others to give alms, and I will be grateful to Dade for being at the mercy of all kinds of calculations!"

Zhou Tieqi glanced at Liu Tugou, the furrow on his face was even more profound, and he also shook his head and said: "What you said is wrong, taking out such an important position of power to give you and other reckless heroes, what the prince did was an upright conspiracy, how can it be compared to the small calculations of those flies and dogs?"

"It seems that as my colleagues in the north said, Captain Liu is not a person who is willing to live under the people, what I just said, you didn't take it to heart at all! Marquis Jun is respectful, he is deeply trusted by the Son of Heaven, and he is a great master in the realm of supernatural powers and a number of people in the world, young people should not be too ambitious, otherwise it will be difficult to live long in the edict. ”

This Beiding Mansion Gou Lu spoke without mercy, quite angry, and the meaning of the words was also very clear, after all, the grandmaster of Zhou Tianzhong said a lot, but there were so many at the level of the Imperial Prison and even the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, among them, there were only two or three out of thousands of people who could achieve supernatural powers, even if it was a half-step supernatural power, it couldn't cross that hurdle, after all, it was just a dream that could be broken with a poke.

Liu Tugou lay firmly on the bluestone, if he inadvertently picked up the long knife on his waist, and the aura around him was stable as usual, that is, the demeanor on his face did not change in the slightest, but just such an action, falling in Zhou Tieqi's eyes, suddenly felt that the aura of the young man in black was completely different, and it became unfathomable and extremely dangerous.

"Lao Zhou, when I first arrived at Baima Village a few days ago, I accidentally knocked over a log in front of Baima Hall in public, and the hidden silver ingots were scattered all over the ground, which made me not embarrassed. Later, I learned that those logs were originally used to transport silver, and where the silver came from were all filial piety from the green forests and mountains of Beiding Mansion to congratulate the old prince of Zhending on his birthday, that is, the birth gang in the rumors of the rivers and lakes, you say...... Xiao Xuanqi deliberately let me see those logs and half-black and white silver that hide mysteries, what does he mean?"

Zhou Tieqi listened carefully, did not see the slightest impatience, and said with a smile: "You have cultivated to a high level at a young age, you have made great contributions in the front, and you have been appreciated by the prince and the marquis, and sooner or later you will become a big man in the edict prison, Xiao Xuanqi is through you, for the prince to show loyalty to the Son of Heaven, the matter of the birth of the Son of Heaven and the prince are known, and the palace is really determined that the palace is doing this, which is nothing more than being cautious and showing sincerity." ”

Liu Tugou laughed, slapped the scabbard on his thigh, and said, "Ah, why are you, Lao Zhou, so sincere to Liu Tugou and Black Crow Guard?"

Zhou Tieqi seemed to have expected that this black-clothed young man would ask this question, and said unhurriedly: "The upper and lower monarchs and ministers get along, and the relationship between men and women is similar, and they all pay attention to a strong melon is not sweet. I don't want you to return to my mother's family immediately, don't bother me, an old man who is half in the ground. ”

He narrowed his eyes slightly, with a look that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and his gaze fell on Liu Tugou's slightly stunned face.

Liu Tugou got up slowly, his feet fell to the ground steadily in turn, and his whole body slowly stretched out like a taut bow, and the whole person seemed to be a little taller out of thin air, filling the world in the pupils of Zhou Tieqi and the little medicine boy.

He stared at Zhou Tieqi and asked word by word, "I don't know Lord Zhou, what kind of return do you want?"

This is the second time that Liu Tugou has asked Zhou Tieqi how to repay, but the meaning is completely different from the last time.

Zhou Tiechi and the little medicine boy had never seen the immature boy who had just entered the rivers and lakes to lick the blood, let alone the dog butcher in Lanling City, so they had no way of knowing what kind of drastic changes the young man in front of him had undergone, but at this moment, anyone could clearly feel how arrogant and arrogant Liu Tugou's arrogance was spreading.

Even Zhou Tieqi's breathing couldn't help but be a little shorter.

However, after all, he was not an idle person, he quickly came back to his senses, with a satisfied look on his face, but he said aggrievedly: "Do you think that the old man is old and willing to take such a bad thing with an uncertain future on himself? Just like the magistrate who flooded the harem for the Son of Heaven's draft, who would dare to hide it and not report it if there were well-known beauties in the jurisdiction?" But if this beauty enters the palace, Feihuang Tengda may not be grateful for the kindness of the former lord, if there is any disaster, the thunderous anger of the Son of Heaven is destined to fall on his own head, and maybe there will be a demagogic king and traitorous Xingjin infamy in the annals of history. ”

What Zhou Tieqi said sounded funny at first glance, but when he savored it, there were many sighs and bitterness, which people like him who had been up and down in the sea for most of his life could not understand.

Liu Tugou naturally couldn't understand it, but he heard a certain sincerity from it, so he let go of his right hand, hung the knife at his waist, and chuckled: "Are you very afraid of the marquis of the prison? Just because he can be like the son of heaven to condemn his courtiers, he can indiscriminately decide your life and death?"

Zhou Tiechi smiled abruptly, and then nodded as a matter of course: "This is not enough?"

But then he changed his words, shook his head and said: "But you still guessed wrong, this monarch and marquis, compared with his predecessor, and even compared with any of the military marquis of the current dynasty, can be called a maverick, how it is inconvenient for me to chew my tongue, I will know when you see it." ”

"Oh?"

Liu Tugou was about to continue to ask a few words, but suddenly he felt something, turned his head to look, and saw Xiao Xuanqi's figure appear at the gate of the courtyard.

A hearty laugh came from afar: "Brother Liu, why didn't you tell my brother that there are still five hundred black crows that have only arrived at the arrow furnace today, so that I can prepare early? This is really a little unprepared, if you are slow to wait, don't blame the old brother!"

"What? Another five hundred crows?"

When Liu Tugou heard this, he glanced at Zhou Tieqi, and they both saw the other party's eyes in confusion.

Zhou Tieqi glanced at Liu Tugou deeply: "Do you really have another five hundred subordinates?"

Liu Tugou shook his head, didn't make any more useless guesses, didn't try to justify, raised his feet and walked towards the courtyard gate with Xiao Xuanqi.

"It's the fairy who came to take the name of my black crow, go out and see. ”
