Shangjing, Dongshengmen Vegetable Market.

Jia Lishi walked through the road full of sewage and garbage, all kinds of unpleasant smell of rot rushed straight into his nose, and all around him was full of loud shouts of buying and selling, filthy and noisy, compared with the quiet and elegant palace with carved beams and paintings, it can be said that there is a difference between heaven and earth. But Jia Lishi has grown up in this kind of abalone since he was a child, but he feels indescribably kind, and he feels a little better when he touches something in his arms.

"Hey, isn't this Second Brother Jia, I haven't seen you for a long time, I'm getting more and more energetic, and I'm going home to see my mother again?"

"Yes, yes, Brother Zhang is full of red face, today's business must be good. Jalux also greeted with a smile.

"Yo, Brother Lux is back, look at this glamorous outfit, is it promoted in the palace? Another mother-in-law selling pickles yelled at Jalis, and a few people on the side laughed and joked.

"Sister-in-law Wang, aren't you scolding me? If my Jia Lishi is really a little good at that time, it will be thanks to the help of the big guy over the years, and it will be even more blessed by the big guy, how dare you forget this?" Jia Lishi responded to those people with a smile one by one, and said: "Sister-in-law Wang, my mother has always been strong, right? Has my brother come to see it in the past few days?"

Sister-in-law Wang's face immediately sank: "Jia Da, I became the third shopkeeper a few days ago, and I am about to become a nobleman, how can I have spare time to come to this kind of pickled and dirty place? Don't talk about your white-eyed wolf brother, Brother Lux, you are on an errand in the palace, it is not easy to come out, hurry back and take a look at your mother, the weather is going to be cold, and your mother's old problem may occur again." If you have money, grab more medicine and put it at home, don't take care of it when the time comes. ”

"Well, then I'll go first. ”

The joy of Jalis when he came immediately faded a lot, and he hurriedly rushed home.

Turning into a narrow and secluded alley on the edge of the market, and pushing open a wooden door that was too dilapidated to see its original color, Jalis stepped into his small courtyard and shouted, "I'm back." ”

Just screamed. The door of the first room on the left creaked open, but out came a tall young man, very handsome, a pair of eyes were surprisingly bright, the corners of his lips seemed to be slightly provoked with a smile from time to time, and his whole body was filled with a unique charm of laziness and uninhibitedness. But in the depths of his eyes, there is an indescribable gloom and coldness, like a sharp blade glowing in the dark night.

The young man crossed his arms and glanced at Jia Lishi, and asked slowly, "Who are you looking for?"

Swept away by his piercing eyes. Jalis suddenly felt a lot shorter, and snorted: "I'm looking for ......" suddenly woke up, and shouted vigilantly: "This is my home, who are you, why are you here?"

Jalis was a eunuch, and his voice was quite high-pitched, and the young man glanced at him strangely, but he didn't care very much. Said: "Oh, you are the son of Aunt Jia." Then please take care of yourself, I won't entertain you. After saying that, he turned around and entered the room by himself.

Jalis was stunned for a moment, chased after him and shouted, "Who the hell are you and why are you ......"

In the room on the right, a thin old woman with gray temples came out, her eyes were cloudy, and her vision seemed to be difficult and far. Squinting at Jalis, he exclaimed, "Who's coming?"

Jia Lishi hurriedly ran up, hugged the old woman and said, "Mother, I'm back." ”

Laugh lines suddenly appeared on Aunt Jia's withered face, and she caught his hand in surprise. Leaned closer and took a closer look and said, "Lux, why did you come back today? Let my mother see if you have lost weight for a while." ”

Jia Lishi asked: "Mother, why is there one more person in the family, who is he?"

Aunt Jia sighed and said, "That's the tenant who came to our house two days ago...... Alas, I can't see clearly with my eyes now, and I can't do work, so I have to rent a house to subsidize my family. If you don't come back, you'll spend the night in your mother's house tonight. You can rest assured, the guest is a military master, not a person of unknown origin. ”

Jia Lishi was relieved, frowned and said, "Mother, what about the eldest brother, he didn't come to see you?"

Aunt Jia hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, he came last month and brought me more than ten catties of rice and a catty of vegetable oil." ”

As soon as Jia Lishi heard this, he had a seizure: "Didn't he become the second shopkeeper? Just gave you this little thing, and when the mother who gave birth to him and raised him was called a son, I couldn't send it away? I went to settle accounts with him, and if I didn't give an explanation, I wouldn't be done with him." "Gritting his teeth and hating, he was about to go out.

Aunt Jia hurriedly dragged him: "Lux, he is your brother, if my brother wants to make a mess, it is for nothing to let others see jokes, my mother's life is also very good, you can bear it." ”

Jia Lishi couldn't break free, stopped and gasped for a few breaths, and suddenly cried loudly: "Mother, I'm not worth it, I broke my roots and went into the palace to earn some monthly money to support my family, I just hope that my eldest brother can serve your old man on my behalf, if you don't want him to marry a daughter-in-law, you don't want a mother, how can you live in the future...... Mother, I'm not worth it, I'm not worth it!"

Aunt Jia also choked up: "Son, it's my mother who dragged you down, my mother can't stand you, why didn't I die sooner, you don't use it to practice yourself......"

The two mothers and sons hugged their heads and cried for a while, Jia Lishi wiped away his tears, took out a few small ingots of broken silver and came out and said: "Mother, you keep this money, tomorrow I will go to the pharmacy to pick up a few doses of medicine, the weather is cold, don't go out to blow the wind at home." ”

In her early years, Aunt Jia worked tirelessly day and night to mend clothes for others, and only then did she pull the two eldest children with hard work, so her eyes fell into trouble, and she would cry when she saw the wind, especially if she couldn't blow the cold wind, she would be blind when the cold air invaded her eyes. The family has been working hard for so many years, seeing that the two brothers of the Jia family are about to grow up to become * people, who knows that the house leak coincides with the overnight rain, a few years ago, Aunt Jia had a serious illness, and the Jia family was in a desperate situation. As a last resort, Jia Lishi ruthlessly entered the palace and took the money he sold to save the emergency, so he barely survived again.

Aunt Jia also closed her voice, weighed the broken silver in her hand, and said suspiciously: "Lux, you are on an errand in the palace, it will take two or three months to save such a little silver, you have given it to me, what else can you use to grab medicine?"

Jia Lishi rolled his eyes and said: "I do things well, there is a big eunuch in the palace who likes me, and when I came out this time, I specially rewarded a few taels of silver." "According to the rules of Da Chu, Jia Lishi, the lowest level of miscellaneous servants, can only be regarded as a eunuch, and only those who have some authority in the palace are qualified to be called eunuchs.

Aunt Jia sighed and didn't ask any more. He only said: "Lux, you have been in the palace for several years, and all the money for that example was spent on me, and there is not a single copper left, so it can't go on like this, what should I do if I get sick and old in the future?" That's enough money for me to get off the pills. ”

Jia Lishi understood that this little bit of scattered silver was not of much use, and the old lady was just comforting herself, so she said: "Mother, don't worry too much, I know my own affairs, I have won the appreciation of the great eunuch, and I will be rewarded more in the future, maybe there will be a chance to be promoted, so that others can call me Jia Gonggong." Hey...... Don't talk about this, mother, go into the house, I'll cook for you. ”

In the house on the left, the young man muttered thoughtfully: "No wonder I think this kid is a little weird, it turns out that he is a chamberlain in the palace, this is a coincidence, the eldest brother has not found his eyebrows for so long." Let's see if we can start with this eunuch......"

This young man is the brother Gui Shi'er that Chen Haoran recognized when he entered Beijing last time.

After Chen Haoran returned to his hometown. Gui Shi'er successfully joined the forbidden army of Da Chu, he has already cultivated in the middle stage of qi induction, and his strength can be regarded as a master in the secular world. During the enlistment exercise, Gui Shi'er showed his extraordinary courage a little, and was appointed as the squad leader, with dozens of recruits under his hands, and became a low-level junior officer in the Great Chu Army.

Gui Shi'er is stoic. After a few months of regular training, I just hoped that I would be transferred out of the palace to patrol the palace earlier, so as to find an opportunity to find out the news or even sneak into the palace. But Gui Shi'er thought things too simply, although their group of recruits was recruited in the name of the forbidden army. But they belong to the reserves, and it is no longer their turn to take on the heavy responsibility of guarding the palace. After the training, he was sent to the imperial mausoleum outside the capital city, and guarded the old and new ghosts of the royal family in the wilderness all day long.

Gui Shi'er was so angry that she almost vomited blood, and almost wanted to leave as a deserter, but after weighing the situation, she still stayed. It's not his style to give up halfway, at the very least, even if he wants to leave, he has to meet with his eldest brother before deciding where to go.

After the third watch, everything was silent, and the sparse stars hung on the canopy, exuding a dim light, and shining weakly on the sleeping Shangjing City.

"Squeak".

There was a slight sound from the opening of a wooden door, and Jia Lishi came out of the house, looked at Gui Shi'er's house, and saw that there was no movement, so he walked out of his courtyard with light steps.

"The eunuch who has no eggs, and goes out neatly dressed in the middle of the night, shouldn't he be going to meet each other?"

Gui Shi'er had already been awakened by the movement made by Jia Lishi getting dressed on the ground, and when he saw him going out a little sneakily on the window, he couldn't help but be a little interested, and quickly followed out in good clothes.

With Gui Shi'er's current skills, it was easy to follow a guy like Jalis without being discovered, and he turned several streets along the way to a narrow alley that was already close to the walls of the eastern city.

Although it was late at night, this narrow alley was full of people, most of them alone, all of them were silent, and the shadows were like ghosts, which was extremely weird. There are also many people squatting on both sides of the alley with lanterns, more or less placed in front of some things, from time to time someone comes forward to inspect and pick up, and when they meet the like, they will negotiate with the owner in a low voice, and then either get up and leave, or take the silver out of their pockets.

Jia Lishi, a eunuch, is so poor that he can't even support his mother, what is he doing in the ghost market?

This ghost market is the best place to buy and sell goods of unknown origin in the capital, and the trading time is limited to the second half of the night, and it will end before dawn. The items traded are basically stolen goods such as robbing houses, killing people and stealing goods, stealing and kidnapping, etc., and the complexity of the objects of the transaction is even more foreign. Most of the people who come here are reluctant to reveal their identities, and their behavior is extremely secretive, and it is only held at night, so it is naturally known as a ghost market.

Due to its particularity, this ghost market is definitely not lacking in rare and ancient monsters, cheap treasures and antiques, and if you are lucky, you can even meet the magic weapons used by cultivators, and it is indeed a good place to buy things. It is said that there is no shortage of dignitaries and nobles who patronize them, and it is even rumored that a few years ago, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Longsu Kingdom came to the Great Chu Dynasty to congratulate Emperor Xuanwei on his birthday, he also secretly came to patronize in disguise.

As a local senior gangster in Shangjing, Gui Shi'er naturally knows a lot about the ghost market, and while he is familiar with Jia Lishi, he ponders: "This guy must not be able to afford any playthings, so he must be here to sell goods." Well. Could it be that he didn't have the money to treat his mother, so he took the risk of stealing something in the palace to make a move......"

Under the thought, he felt reasonable, and when he returned to Shi'er, he was refreshed, and someone sent a pillow when his heart was sleepy, and he was worried that he couldn't find out the news in the palace and catch the sore feet of this guy. Don't you have a ready-made eyes and ears?

Since it is a market, there must be someone to operate and maintain it, and Jia Lishi seems to know the routine here, found a man in the shadows, paid ten copper coins and took a lantern, squatted down at the end of the alley, which is relatively the most remote part of the ghost market, and then took out a flat object like a stone from his arms and placed it in front of him.

Gui Shi'er took a look, only to see that it was an inkstone that was not square or round, and he was about to step forward to get all the stolen goods. But a person squatted in front of Jia Lishi, picked up the inkstone and weighed it twice, then looked at the bottom of the lantern, and said, "Yes, it's a high-grade eyebrow inkstone, how much silver?"

Jalux didn't speak, holding out a finger.

"Ten taels?" The man seemed to be a knowledgeable master, shook his head and said, "Although this high-grade eyebrow tattoo inkstone is sold for thirty taels outside." But it's not worth the price here. Five taels, sell or not?"

Jalix waved his hand and motioned for him to leave.

Buying and selling in ghost markets is generally quite straightforward. If it is successful, it will not be successful, but this person is an old oilman who often messes around here, seeing that Jia Lishi looked quite nervous, obviously belonging to the list of young people, and wanted to get more cheap. Then he said: "Little brother, look at the mark under your goods, it is a special product in the Great Chu Palace, and this forbidden thing is a little hot." Well, I'll give you six taels. Everyone is happy to make a deal, hello and me, I can make friends, and take better care of each other next time, how about it?"

Seeing that this person knew the origin of the inkstone, Jia Lishi's face couldn't help but change, and he was terrified in his heart, and in a panic, he suddenly heard someone talking: "Hey, this old man, people don't sell it, why are you still pestering him? Let's go." ”

The man turned his head and saw Gui Shi'er, thinking that he was trying to take advantage of this with him, and said angrily: "Do you understand the rules here? Now that I am talking to him about business, what is your interference?"

Gui Shi'er smiled: "I thought my brother didn't understand the rules, it turned out to be a person who understood, so tell me, what is it for you to point out the origin of this goods, do you want to find someone to talk about it carefully?"

The man's face changed drastically, and he didn't say a word, and immediately got up and slipped away. All transactions in the ghost market are tacitly and voluntary, and the biggest taboo is that it is strictly forbidden to inquire about the identity of the seller and the origin of the traded items. This person's behavior just now is tantamount to threatening Jia Lishi to buy goods, if it reaches the person who presides over the ghost market, this guy will have to shed his skin if he doesn't die.

Seeing that it was the resident of the family who was relieved of the siege, Jia Lishi panicked even more, but he didn't hook his head into the crotch of his pants, only hoping that Gui Shi'er would not recognize himself in the dim light. Otherwise, because of stealing the palace supplies, most of them will be beaten to death with a stick.

Gui Shi'er squatted next to him slowly, and said with a smile: "Brother Jia, we only met yesterday, and you forgot about me?"

Jia Lishi's hope was shattered, the whole figure fell into the ice water, his body was cold, and he begged for mercy in a trembling voice: "Master Jun, uncle, the little and the villain is really helpless, for the sake of the villain's wife who is sick and has no one to support, please uncle, you spare the villain this time, the villain will return the things, and he will not dare next time." ”

"What do you want to pay back?" Gui Shi'er patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be afraid, isn't it just to sell a gadget? What are you afraid of? Hurry up and sell it, let's go home and sleep together." ”

Listening to Gui Shi'er's intention to embarrass himself for the time being, Jia Lishi settled down a little, but he didn't know what he would do with himself, and he didn't know how to deal with it even when a buyer came to talk, or Gui Shi'er made a bid for him, and this time it was successfully handed over with ten taels of silver.

Jia Lishi took the silver in a daze and was about to leave, a big man on the side came up and blew out the lantern, and stretched out a hand at him. ”

Jia Lishi suddenly realized that according to the rules of the ghost market, the seller of each transaction had to hand over one-tenth of the presiding officer, and hurriedly counted the silver and went out.

When he walked outside the house, the walking corpse-like Jia Lishi's three souls and six spirits finally returned to their places, and "Pu Tom" knelt down to Gui Shi'er, hugged his thighs and pleaded pitifully with tears: "Uncle, you have mercy and leave the villain a dog's life, the villain is willing to be a cow and a horse for the uncle." "He's a little timid. The brain is very clever, and he understands that Gui Shi'er, who is a forbidden army, does not arrest himself to the government to receive merit, of course, he has a purpose.

Gui Shi'er looked at him, the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a demon-like smile: "Oh, if I spare you." How do you want to make a cow and a horse for me? Tell me...... Hey, be careful, if you stain your uncle's new pants, you'll be sent to Shangjing Mansion right now. ”

Jia Lishi was so frightened that he hurriedly let go, scooped up the placket and wiped away the snot and tears on his face, and then respectfully presented the remaining nine taels of silver with both hands as if holding the ancestral spirit card: "As long as the uncle spares the villain, the villain will be willing to be a slave and a servant from now on, and let the uncle command." The villain goes up the knife mountain, goes down to the sea of fire, rolls the nail board, and has no words. This is the filial piety of the villain, please don't be too meager to accept it, there will be a chance in the future, the villain will definitely offer more filial piety to your old man. ”

"Do you think that Uncle I will covet your broken silver?" Gui Shi'er now has the ability, plus the ill-gotten wealth obtained in the Yiji pawnshop after killing Zhong Yi. How can you be like when you used to be on the streets, and you take a little wealth very seriously. Hehe smiled: "You guys are quite clever on the road." There is no shortage of silver, so put it away. If you are really willing to do things for me, not only do I not want your money, but I will also pay for your wife's illness, and don't steal anything in the palace in the future. ”

Jia Lishi was not happy and shocked, and Gui Shi'er pinched his handle. Instead of extorting money and taking the initiative to help each other, then what you do is absolutely dangerous, maybe it is a big crime of cutting off your head and robbing your home, and you can't help but cry without tears for a while.

Gui Shi'er saw his thoughts, and said with a smile: "Don't worry. What I've asked you to do is just a small thing, it's very simple, you just have to relax. ”

How can Jia Lishi relax his mind? Thinking about the left and right sides of the head pasted a dead word, he could only stretch out his neck ruthlessly to cut people, crying and mourning: "Uncle, what do you want the villain to do, just give a happy explanation." ”

Gui Shi'er accepted Jia Lishi and asked him to inquire about the information of Rouge Yuli in the Great Chu Palace, and did not break his word, invited a doctor for Jia's mother to treat her illness, and even took out a lot of silver to Jia Lishi, so that he could make friends and please all kinds of people in the palace to facilitate his actions.

During the period, Gui Shi'er took the time to visit Feng Gu and a few other familiar bustards in Piaoxiang Courtyard, and gathered those fox friends who used to often mingle, and entertained them to eat and drink a few meals of wine and meat. Although these guys are not very useful to today's Gui Shi'er, after all, they are old oilers who have been born and raised in Shangjing for many years, and all kinds of gossip are quite well-informed, maybe they will come in handy when they will be, and it is not harmful to spend a little money to envelop them.

After everything was taken care of, Gui Shi'er returned to the military camp stationed in the imperial mausoleum outside the city to wait for news.

Naturally, there is no pastime in the barracks, and every day there is nothing more than a little exercise, a few laps around a large pile of beautifully repaired graves, and when there is nothing to do, you can only get some activities such as dancing guns, sticks, walking horses, archery, etc., which are boring. Gui Shi'er tasted all the vicissitudes of life and endured all the hardships, knowing that if the opportunity to change his fate was rare, he would devote himself to penance when he had time, but he did not feel depressed and unbearable.

Speaking of which, Gui Shi'er can be regarded as a rare genius in the cultivation world. At the beginning, Chen Haoran cut his hair and washed the marrow to the middle stage of qi restriction, he only cultivated on his own for a few months, and the realm actually reached the late stage of qi induction, and in recent days, there were faint signs of breaking through to the early stage of qi refining, and the outrageous entry was enough to make the cultivators of the whole world crazy.

In fact, the appearance of this phenomenon is extremely abnormal, entirely because Chen Haoran injected the essence containing his own demonic qi when he built the foundation for him.

The origin is not correct, and Gui Shi'er is equivalent to a hidden demon cultivator, destined to cultivate into the demon path. The early speed of cultivating demons is originally much faster than cultivating the Tao and cultivating Buddha, and it is not surprising that Gui Shi'er's cultivation talent is far beyond ordinary people, and his heart is extreme and cold, and it is not surprising that cultivating demons is born with half the effort, and it is not surprising that he is as fast as riding a rocket.

In the same way, the other two people who got Chen Haoran's essence foundation, Murong Di and Gao Erniu, are also hidden demon cultivators, and with the progress of cultivation, sooner or later, they will all enter the demon path. And all this, no one has realized at all.

After returning to the camp, more than ten days passed in a blink of an eye, and when he was on patrol on this day, he suddenly saw a horse riding to the imperial tomb with a fresh coat of anger, and hurriedly led the team to stop it.

Among the comers, the young man who took the lead had bright eyes, his eyebrows and swords went straight into his sideburns, and he looked at the eagle while looking forward to it, naturally with a kind of high-minded and confident demeanor. He reined in his horse, glanced at the group of forbidden troops in front of him, and looked at Gui Shi'er, who was dressed as a junior officer: "General Li Xiuyuan is at the station? I want to see him." ”

Li Xiuyuan was the general of the 5,000 Praetorian Guards guarding the tomb. Although the number of subordinates is not large, and the rank is only from the fourth rank of military attachés, but the people who can independently lead a forbidden army are of course people with real power, and this young man is full of style and calls him by his name, needless to say, it is very powerful. In the past, Gui Shier had to deal with it carefully. But after stepping into the path of cultivation, I don't know how much higher my vision realm is, and I don't realize how inferior I am. In addition, he was despised and bullied too much when he was a child, and he had a natural enemy-like hatred for the children of the family who had been in fine clothes and jade food since he was a child, so he endured the boredom in his heart, hugged his fists and asked politely: "May I ask who Gongzi is, and is there any urgent matter to find General Li?"

The young man raised his eyebrows, and before he could speak, a young man beside him was already impatiently shouting: "You guy is so hateful." Just reply as my eldest brother tells me, and if you get in the way of our business, we will take you down and punish you. ”

The young man's voice was so sharp and thin that Gui Shi'er couldn't help but be stunned, and his heart couldn't help but run into a dead eunuch again? When he looked up carefully, he found that this young man had willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, a small cherry mouth, and a face like powder. The chest is protruding and curved.,It's a beautiful girl in a strong suit.。

Take a closer look. This girl's melon seed face is delicate and incoherent, there is no flaw that can be faulted, and the red lips are even more seductive, and the beauty can be said to be rare in Gui Shier's life, but the eyebrows are full of ferociousness and arrogance, and a large part of it destroys the overall beauty.

Seeing Gui Shi'er's eyes blazing, he looked at himself. The girl was angry and said sharply: "Bold and presumptuous minions, if you look at it again, you will gouge out your dog's eyes." ”

At the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are countless famous lords and magnates, and Gui Shi'er originally just wanted to ask their identities and let them go. I didn't want to offend people and cause inconvenience because of this little thing, but the girl scolded him like an inappropriate person, and was aroused by the grievances that had been suppressed in her heart for many years, and said lightly: "This young lady has never sold herself into a cheap country, and she can't be called a slave." Also, let's not talk about in what capacity the young lady will punish Yu Xia, who was ordered to guard the imperial mausoleum, and asked himself if he had committed any crimes, but I just wanted to know which crime Da Chu wanted to add to Zaixia?"

He has dozens of recruits under him, all of whom belong to the poor background at the bottom of the society, and he is good friends with Gui Shi'er, and he usually has a bad impression of the high-flying and domineering sons, brothers, young ladies and celebrities, and at this moment he saw Gui Shi'er and the barbaric girl facing each other, and he was very relieved, but he was secretly worried about him.

The girl's face turned pale with anger, and she raised her wrist and pulled out the horsewhip in her hand: "Damn dog minion, you dare to contradict this county lord like this." "When the whip is struck, the wind is howling, and the momentum is very fierce, and it is drawn straight towards Gui Shi'er's face, and once it is struck, the eyeballs will also be pumped out.

Gui Shi'er was furious, and his rebellious hatred was even stronger, and countless thoughts turned in his heart in an instant, but his heart was extremely deep, and his expression did not reveal half a point, nor did he dodge the dodge, and when the snake-like whip was drawn in front of him, he suddenly raised his hand, and his fingers were firmly grasped.

Seeing this, the young man couldn't help but sigh softly, and the light flashed in his eyes, secretly wondering that there were such good players in this newly recruited forbidden army, which was a little surprising. With a slight wave of his hand, an attendant behind him who was about to step forward stepped forward stepped back.

The girl was also slightly stunned, and then shook the whip and pulled it back, but the tip of the whip seemed to be born between the fingers of Gui Shi'er, how could it be tensely moved? The girl pulled it several times in succession, but in vain, the girl was even more angry, and while regaining it, she shouted sharply: "Let go." ”

Gui Shi'er was quite obedient this time, and when he heard the sound, he immediately loosened his fingers, and was vigorously pulling the horsewhip The girl was not guarded, and the force was empty, and the body suddenly fell backwards, and the young man grabbed her wrist, so as to avoid the risk of falling off the horse.

The frightened girl was furious, threw away her whip, drew her sword at her waist, jumped off her horse, and raised her sword to stab Gui Shi'er. The young man hurriedly dismounted, snatched the long sword from the girl's hand, and reproached: "Lingji, enough, don't mess around anymore." ”

The girl was shocked and angry, and shouted: "Big brother, you obviously saw that this dog slave bullied me, and helped him scold me?"

The young man's face sank, and he reprimanded: "Shut up, Lingji, this is a dignified soldier who protects my territory in the Great Chu River, how can you be so ignorant of bad words and insults? Why don't you apologize to this soldier quickly?"

The girl was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "Do you want me to apologize to a small school? He turned his head away angrily.

The young man sighed helplessly, turned around and bowed to Gui Shi'er, and said very sincerely: "This soldier, the sister is young and ignorant, and I have made amends to the soldiers on her behalf." Please forgive her for not being there. ”

Seeing that this young man's attitude towards himself has changed greatly, how could Gui Shi'er not know that the other party has the intention of being entrapded, and he showed his skills and deliberately took this opportunity to befriend this young man, and replied: "Don't dare, there are also offends below, and I ask my son to forgive me." ”

The young people are quite cooperative. I was happy in my heart, and said with a smile: "It's just a small misunderstanding, everyone doesn't have to take it to heart." My surname is Mu, my single name is Hao, please ask the soldier's surname?"

Although he knew that this young man's identity was extraordinary, he didn't expect it to be so big, so he let out a sigh and saluted again: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince." "Original. This young man is actually the son of King Mu Yuan, the current prince of Great Chu, and the girl calls him the eldest brother, of course, he is the lord of Lingji in King Jin's mansion.

A group of forbidden soldiers on patrol were frightened when they heard this, offending the county lord was not a joke, and it was even more important to take care of it.

Hearing Gui Shi'er's tone change, the girl Lingji County Lord sneered: "The unscrupulous villain who respectfully saw the wind and the rudder, tell you that it is too late to beg for mercy at this time. ”

Gui Shi'er's attitude towards her is very different. only slightly arched his hand and said: "I have also seen His Royal Highness the County Lord below." "The action is like a dragonfly, and I can't see where there is any respect, which is obviously perfunctory. Immediately, he said respectfully to Mu Hao: "Your Royal Highness, please wait, General Li is stationed, and he immediately called someone to invite him to see His Highness." ”

His clear style of behavior is clearly to treat the Lingji County Lord as a dispensable ornament, and the incomparably noble Lingji County Lord with golden branches and jade leaves has never been given such a look, so angry that he almost gritted his teeth, and said angrily: "The guy surnamed Gui." What do you mean by that, don't you take this county lord seriously?"

One of your light clicks warmed my whole codeword life. Log in to yy. to support genuine literature

Gui Shi'er said indifferently: "There is nothing rude to His Royal Highness the County Lord, why did His Royal Highness the County Lord say this?"

The Lingji County Lord was furious and screamed, "You still dare to quibble that you are not rude? Isn't it disrespectful that you have such an attitude towards my eldest brother and such an attitude towards me?"

Gui Shi'er said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "His Royal Highness the county lord does not dare to take the accusations below, and the salute to the two highnesses is treated equally, and there is no slackness." It's just that His Royal Highness the Prince has a military position and is the boss of the subordinate, so he must reply with military etiquette, and if His Royal Highness the county lord feels unhappy because of this, there is nothing he can do about it. ”

When he said it, the meaning of the words still didn't take the Lingji County Lord in his eyes, and the words were just leaky, and the Lingji County Lord couldn't refute it, so he was so angry that his chest rose and fell violently, and he couldn't speak for a while.

His own brutal sister thundered, Mu Hao couldn't interject and had nothing to do, so he hurriedly took the opportunity to round the scene: "Brother Gui, I have no official business here today, no need to talk about military positions, everyone can get along as friends, and there is no need to pay attention to so many rules." ”

Gui Shi'er was surprised, how noble Mu Hao was, no matter how easy-going Corporal Lixian was, he didn't need to be so polite to his little captain, and he was shocked in his heart, and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince is called like this, how dare you be a humble position? ”

Mu Hao smiled: "It's okay, it's okay." The dragon and phoenix among the brothers will never be in the pool in the future, and it is a blessing that I can make friends with you. He sighed again and said, "Alas, my sister is this temper, take care of my brother more, don't take it to heart." ”

Gui Shi'er hurriedly said: "How dare you be humble?"

The obedient Lingji County Lord sneered again: "Don't you dare? This county lord sees that you dare very much, now you must be scolding this county lord in your heart, yes or no?"

Gui Shi'er was silent, and seemed to acquiesce.

The county lord of Lingji was furious, and was about to make another move, Mu Hao saw that the opportunity was wrong, and hurriedly dragged her forward, and walked a few steps before hurriedly turning back and saying: "I'll go to General Li Xiuyuan, and I'll come back to talk to Brother Gui when I have time." ”

When Mu Hao and his party went far away, all the forbidden troops excitedly surrounded Gui Shi'er, gossiping to express their admiration, and some people advised him to find an opportunity to admit his mistakes and apologize to the lord of Lingji through Mu Hao, the prince of the world, so as not to affect the future future, not to mention, but also to leave troubles.

Gui Shi'er was noncommittal, waved everyone to continue the tour, squinting at the back of Mu Hao and the Lingji County Lord brother and sister, a trace of elusive strange light flashed in the depths of his eyes, cold, evil, with mockery, like a pair of demon eyes rising from the dark abyss.

"Don't say I'm a dignified county lord, that guy is just a pariah, and I'm also your own sister. You are talking to him, and I must tell my father when I go back. "The Lingji County Lord, who was forcibly taken away, is still losing his temper.

"That's enough, Lingji, I have a reason to do this, you don't have to get along with that Gui Shi'er anymore. Mu Hao straightened his face and said solemnly: "I still have something to do, if you mess around like this again, I will let someone send you back." ”

I saw that my brother recognized the truth. The Lingji County Lord didn't dare to be too presumptuous, and said angrily: "If you don't want me to trouble that guy?" Hmph, then you tell me, there are so many small colonels like that guy, I have never seen you warm to anyone before, why are you so polite to him?"

Mu Hao smiled, looked back and said, "Jiang Jun, you come and tell her." ”

The entourage who wanted to help the Lingji County Lord before responded and said, "This little school named Gui Shi'er is quite powerful. I'm afraid that most of the generals in my Great Chu army will not be his opponents, and ......"

The Lingji County Lord interrupted him disdainfully: "That guy just happened to grab my whip, how can he be so powerful as you say?"

Jiang Jun said: "The county lord doesn't know anything, based on the observations of his subordinates, this Gui Shi'er has not systematically practiced martial arts, and the action when he grabbed the county lord's horsewhip is an instinctive reaction, so he shouldn't have a very good cultivation foundation, and he is definitely not an ordinary secular martial arts master." ”

"Even if he has a foundation in cultivation. What's so strange about it? I have it too. The Lingji County Lord said disapprenously: "Don't say that there are many people in the world who can't cultivate, even if they are cultivators who have achieved success. As royal bloodlines destined by Heaven, we don't need to look at their faces, let alone a guy who hasn't even cultivated the Golden Pill. ”

"Royal bloodline from the Destiny of Heaven?"

Mu Hao smiled sarcastically again, waved his hand, and motioned for Jiang Jun to move away with a group of entourage, before lowering a small voice and saying, "It's right that we have royal blood. However, there is always only one person who is so lucky, that is, the person who sits on the dragon chair, if he can't sit on that chair. It's just a little more than the others in the useless sense of wealth. So, we have to ......"

He paused for a moment, lowered his voice a little more, and said, "Lingji, you are not young, and there are some things that should be known to you." A few days ago, the emperor's illness was committed again, and he has not been to the court since then, according to various news, I am afraid that the emperor's immortal will not be too long. You also know the situation between the father and the second uncle and the seventh uncle, after the emperor is mourned, even if he leaves an edict for his father to inherit the throne, I am afraid that those uncles will be unwilling...... This is a very urgent time, so we must unite all the forces we can to prevent the unforeseen. Lingji, do you understand?"

"Are you saying that the Second Uncle and the Seventh Uncle will use force......" The Lingji County Lord's expression changed greatly, and he lost his voice: "This is a rebellion, they shouldn't do such a rebellious thing, right?"

Mu Hao smiled coldly and said, "The emperor has been in power for too long, and my father and uncle Wang have been fighting openly and secretly for so many years, and the contradiction has long been irresolvable. Lingji, you say, if the edict specifies the second uncle or the seventh uncle, will the father let it go?"

Realizing that the battle for the throne could never be resolved peacefully, the expression of the Lingji County Lord changed again, she was in the emperor's house, although she was rude and willful, but after all, she still knew the general situation, and knew the cruelty and ruthlessness of seizing the heir. There have also been several precedents in the history of Great Chu to seize the throne by force, and most of the factions that failed in the mutiny among the princes had a dismal ending, and the way the victor dealt with the loser was not at all family affection.

Mu Hao said again: "Didn't you see the actions of the second uncle and the seventh uncle during this time? Especially the second uncle, he almost made the entire Shangjing City restless, and some time ago he openly did such an eye-catching thing. ”

Lord Lingji thought for a while and said, "The eldest brother is saying that the second uncle is proposing marriage for his wife and brother to go to Murong Shangshu's house, right?"

Mu Hao nodded, gloating: "The second uncle is also dizzy, compared with his father and the seventh uncle, his chances of winning are not great, so he made such a stupid move in a hurry, not only failed to pull the Murong family on the boat, but made many people in the court who were watching be wary of him, it can be said that stealing chickens is not a bad thing." ”

Judging from the current situation of Dachu, once Emperor Xuanwei died, the hope of the eldest prince and the seventh prince to inherit the unification was much higher than that of the second prince. Therefore, for him, it is imperative to seize the throne by force.

For the eldest prince and the seventh prince, before the dust settled, neither side was absolutely sure that they would overpower each other to achieve the final victory, so they both tolerated not to wait and see, and only secretly gathered friends to gather wings and concentrate their strength. If it falls into the hands of the other party, it is impossible to say, so it is necessary to take advantage of the time when the two princes raise troops to do the mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches.

Therefore, the undercurrent of the situation in Shangjing is surging, extremely complex and subtle, like a sealed barrel full of gunpowder, which will explode when the moment the fuse is twisted and ignited.

Mu Hao told the lord of Lingji County: "Although most of the forbidden army guarding the tomb is recruited recruits, and its combat power has not been tested, it is only three hours away from the capital, and it can be used as a surprise soldier at a critical moment, and it must not be controlled by the second and seventh uncles." Li Xiuyuan's temper is as old-fashioned as his Lao Tzu soldier Li Hao, I have looked for him several times, but this guy always can't get in, so we can't bet on him, we must win over a few middle-level officers, even if we can only control a small part of the strength at that time, it is good. ”

The Lingji County Lord was puzzled: "That Gui Shi'er is just a squad leader, and there are only fifty people under him, what role can he play in wooing him?"

Mu Hao smiled confidently: "It's true that he is just a squad leader now, but don't forget, it will be the autumn hunting period in the near future, regardless of soldiers and officers, anyone who has outstanding performance in the autumn hunting martial arts conference can be rewarded, and the top three will be promoted to three levels on the spot." Gui Shi'er was originally very strong, and we operated in the shadows again, and there was a good chance of winning the top three, and at that time, his role should not be underestimated. And in this way, we are tantamount to the grace of knowing and supporting him, and provide a golden shortcut to the sky, so that he will not be grateful to us from now on. Besides, since he has a foundation in cultivation, there may be a master of cultivation behind him......"

The county lord of Lingji suddenly realized, but he still said with no anger: "Such an opportunity is cheap for that guy, hmph, he dares to be so rude and presumptuous in front of the county lord, so let him be proud for a while, one day, the county lord will take a good look at today's hatred." ”

After finishing speaking, the lord of Lingji turned over and whipped the horse fiercely, as if he wanted to vent the hatred in his heart on the horse. But somehow, Gui Shi'er's indifferent and handsome face and the extremely heroic and slender body of Angzang suddenly appeared in front of him, and he couldn't help but think: "That hateful guy is actually quite outstanding in appearance, and he has a little capital to be proud of." There are hundreds of sons and daughters of princes and ministers in Shangjing, and few of them can match him......" (to be continued......
