Chapter 16: Champion Hou
When the sky is getting dark, the snow in the imperial capital finally stops a little, and at this time Chang'an, there is a trace of anger, there are people, there will be fireworks, there will be fireworks, and there will be flesh and blood.
The dusty Xue Zheng hurried back to Beizhen Fusi, threw the reins to a sergeant, and walked quickly towards the signing room with a straight face.
The moment the door of the signing room was pushed open, a strong fragrance couldn't help but make the stomach of Xue Dadudu, who was covered with wind and frost, rumble, and this embarrassing sound made the middle-aged man who was feasting in the signing room unable to stop talking.
The elegance of that life, the posture of the body is like a crouching tiger, such a contradictory temperament appears on a person's body, it seems a little difficult to see through, but he dare not offend, but the little silver thread between the temples makes his noble face hang a trace of exhaustion.
"Lao Xue is here, come on, the freshly stewed mutton pot, with the special roasted knife wine of Weizhou, life is happy, but that's it!" That person is no one else, who can call Xue Zheng like this in Beizhen Fusi, can only be his top boss, one of the four gods of the empire, the commander of Langya Weidu, and the hereditary champion of the empire Hou Xu Kun.
"When did Master Hou come?" Xue Zheng smiled, took off his armor and cloak by himself, stretched his muscles and bones that had been tense for a day, and paced slowly, sitting opposite Xu Kun very casually.
"When you led the troops to Bauhinia Mountain, I came!" Xu Kun smiled slightly, raised his hand and sandwiched a large piece of mutton to Xue Zheng and said: "That girl is using you as a gunman, you, you spoil her too much!"
"You are a father, you shouldn't say this!" Xue Zheng ate with oil on his mouth, raised his head and shook his head with a wry smile: "The authorities are fascinated, Yuyao's talent and wisdom are one in a million, you can't deny her from beginning to end just because she is your daughter, the Holy Ancestor said that the virtuous do not avoid relatives, you." ”
"Old man!" Xu Kun sipped the soju, his eyes were a little misty, "You know very well in your heart, what's the use of being smart? In this world, peace is the greatest blessing, and it's not a good thing to show your edge after all, we people will grow old sooner or later, if you say go one day, who should carry this pot for them?"
"What you said is that I thought about it on the way back, early tomorrow morning, let Yuyao go to Nanzhen Fusi, this case, I can't let her interfere!"
"Mr. Shouyi, what do you say?"
"The old man said that during this time, no one went out in the academy!"
"At noon today, His Majesty has summoned me to the palace. Xu Kun put down the wine glass, sat up straight and faced Xue Zheng, and said with a serious expression: "In the early dynasty, there were more than 100 copies of the impeachment of the two of us in the imperial history, and His Majesty limited me to solve the case before Shangyuan, about this case, all the princes already knew that His Majesty was under great pressure, and after so long, Langyawei has become the target of public criticism!"
Xue Zheng picked up the towel on the table and gently wiped the oil stains on the corners of his mouth, and when he heard Xu Kun's words, his brows wrinkled: "What do the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies say?"
"Several adults said that in such a case, they can't do anything about it, so they can only cooperate with me Langya Wei from the side!"
"Master Hou came to Beizhen Fusi overnight, and invited the last general to have a big meal, he must have a plan in his heart?"
"Those who know me, Xue Zheng'er!" Xu Kun smiled and filled Xue Zheng with wine, and then slowly spoke: "I have carefully investigated the dossier you sent, and now I have a few ideas in my heart, say listen to you, let's two brothers have a good calculation." ”
"Master Hou, please speak!"
"For some unknown areas of ordinary people, it is recorded in the martial arts, you set the strength of the suspect to the heavenly level, this, I agree, and disagree, different from the human level, the master of the earth level, once the master of the heavenly level shoots, the movement, absolutely can not hide the ears and eyes of the heart, according to me as an example, that with a leaf to kill the smelling people of the ice, it is just a gesture, but if I make a move, the fluctuation of this breath can be concealed from ordinary martial artists, but it can not be concealed from His Royal Highness King Wucheng and the great master and others at the same level as me. ”
"According to the autopsy report, Wen Renbing died at three o'clock, but at that time, I didn't feel any breath fluctuations between heaven and earth, not only that, this month, I didn't even notice it, before coming to Beizhen Fusi, I went to Wucheng Wangfu and had a deep conversation with the prince, during this time, not only did not any heaven-level master make a move, but the entire imperial capital, there was no such master!"
"Could it be?" Xue Zheng's face changed drastically, and he said in disbelief: "That legendary existence, does it really exist? But even if it exists, doesn't it mean that the killing of Wen Renbing dirty his hands?"
"This is just one of the assumptions, and this assumption can hardly be established!" Xu Kun sandwiched himself with chopsticks and fragrant mutton, and said eloquently: " Let's go to the front, in the past month or so, more than a dozen nobles have been killed, including all the camps, including the princes, the murderer did not take special care of anyone's family, the more so, we can see it as the murderer is trying to cover up something, the method of rain and dew is too old-fashioned, itself is full of loopholes, and to kill these individuals quietly, regardless of strength, it is a fatal blow, in addition to the legendary existence, there is also a class of people who can do this!"
"Listen to the Snow Building!"
"Wen Renbing's previous murdered nobles can talk like this, but Wen Renbing's death has overturned this assumption!" Xu Kun gently chewed the delicious mutton in his mouth, but he couldn't taste it under his heavy heart, "Wen Renbing knew this murderer, he was shocked until he died, what was he shocked?" Listening to the assassin of Xuelou, it is impossible to be interested in the high priest of this imperial capital, and it is impossible for him to be an old acquaintance with Wen Renbing, you must know that Yuezhou has always kept a distance from the state religion, and there is nothing entangled between the two sides!"
"Yes!" Xue Zhengyi raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but interrupt Xu Kun's words: "General Xuanwei!"
Silence, death-like silence permeated the signing room of the Fuji of Beizhen, on the beautifully made copper hot pot, the slightest heat was constantly rising, and the mutton that was constantly rolling in the thick soup also looked particularly hideous at this moment, and the flickering candle flame imprinted the faces of the heads of the two largest secret agencies in Kyushu, which actually made the air in the entire room begin to look a little suffocating.
"The Holy Maiden of Bliss is Liu Er's biological mother, but she has been missing for many years, Yue Guogong is Liu Er's wife, but it is impossible to make this mistake at this time, after all, at this time, the Holy Maiden of Changle will stay in Yuezhou Mansion, and she will not watch her junior sister do such a stupid thing, if she really wants to assassinate, Ji Wanzhu's target should also be those in Chongzhou. ”
"There is one thing, the last general has not had time to report to the Hou Ye!"
Xu Kun was silent, looking at Xue Zheng opposite with blazing eyes, the churning heat of the copper hot pot was like a fog at the moment, making the scene even more weird and ethereal.
