A knife in love

Chapter 1119

Just as the short fat man finished speaking, Zhuang Hengyun yelled: "Bold! Master Xiao is in charge of the horse supervisor. He is the emperor's confidant and an important minister of the court. You are a dead prisoner, you dare to talk about ministers, aren't you afraid of punishing the nine clans?!"

The short fat man gave Zhuang Hengyun a sideways look, and said with a smile: "When Emperor Taizu Gao was in power, he heard the story of eunuchs in the Tang Dynasty who caused disasters to the world, so he specially ordered an iron plaque to be erected in the palace, and it was written that "eunuchs who interfere with politics are worth thousands of knives." Not to mention that this Eunuch Xiao is just the admiral eunuch of the Yumajian, even the eunuch who is the chief inspector of ceremonies, is just the emperor's slave, how can he call himself an 'imperial court'?!"

The short fat man's face changed when he said this, and he no longer showed the slightest joking expression. He said in a deep voice: "You eunuchs have committed a serious crime by leaving the palace without authorization. You ran to Yibin Mansion and Sunjiapu, disregarding the laws of the state, and used the eunuchs as eunuchs. You drive the magistrates to work for you. You even put up a stand on the street to clean the streets and whip the people. Each of these cases is a serious crime of exceeding authority, and it is an ominous omen to bring trouble to the world. Mr. Xiao, you should When you close your hands, you must close your hands. If you think about what is wrong every day, I am afraid that not only the glory and wealth will be wiped out, but even the head on the neck will be taken away one day."

Xiao Cheng held the scabbard tightly in his left hand, and pointed the long sword in his right hand obliquely to the ground, saying word by word: "Your Excellency claims to be a hero of the green forest, and these words are not something ordinary people in the world can say. Since your Excellency has such knowledge, why should you be timid? Incognito? You might as well tell me Gao’s name and let me listen. Although I am a minister, I can also act on behalf of Your Excellency. The imperial court summoning Your Excellency to be an official is naturally far better than wandering in the rivers and lakes."

The short fat man chuckled, and said: "General Iron Armor crosses the pass at night, and the courtiers wait until the fifth watch is cold; the mountain temple has no eminent monks, so fame and fortune are not as good as leisure. Eunuch Xiao, I will give this temple to you, and there is no need to say anything else." Say."

After he finished speaking, he clapped his hands together, with a playful look on his face again, and continued, "My apprentice is not like me, and he is the most upright person. He said that the old man is not the person you are looking for, and he is definitely not prevarication." Eunuch Xiao doesn’t need to entangle you here, it’s serious to rush back to the capital as soon as possible. The yin and cold sword energy in your body is extremely weird. After you return to Beijing, you must take good care of yourself. Use your internal force to protect your heart. In this way, maybe three years later, the yin and cold sword energy will dissipate, and your life will naturally be safe. If you are still brave and ruthless, this sword energy will disperse into the internal organs. At that time, even if you are Da Luo Jinxian has no choice but to go to see Lord Yan. Mr. Xiao, people should not act against the sky, and it is better to be cautious in doing things."

Xiao Cheng had always been arrogant, but when he heard what Humpty Humpty said, his expression changed drastically, and he said in a trembling voice, "You, how do you know..."

When he said this, he suddenly shut up.After pausing for a moment, he continued: "Thank you for your guidance. However, I was ordered to go to the middle of Sichuan to find people. Even if there is a cliff in front of me, I would not dare to return to the capital without the order of the superior. Your excellency is far superior in martial arts." For me, if you want to kill someone, you can just do it. It is absolutely impossible for me to leave here."

The short fat man chuckled, and said: "Eunuch Xiao, I know you plan to drive those scoundrels back here and capture me. But I tricked them into chasing north, but I quietly turned back. I'm afraid At this moment, your subordinates have already chased thirty miles away, even if they want to rush back, it is too late. As for your Shangguan, if he is not stupid enough to force you to mess around in Sichuan, not only Xiao Gonggong will not be able to return In the capital city, this eunuch who is the eunuch with the palm seal of the imperial horse supervisor must also be crushed because of this incident."

Just as the short fat man finished speaking, Xiao Cheng's complexion changed, and he was about to open his mouth to speak, but he held back.I saw that his face was cloudy and uncertain, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times.

No one spoke in the yard for a while, only the weeds on the top of the wall and the ruined walls made a heart-pounding whimper when the cold wind blew past.

At this moment, the brocade-clothed eunuch who had been standing outside the circle, holding a wooden box, said cautiously: "Master Xiao, what this old gentleman said is not unreasonable. It has been more than a month since we left the capital. There are a lot of incidents in the palace. The villain sees that this old gentleman and Li Baihu are not the people who talk and talk, and there is Mr. Zhuang as a guarantee, so they will not tell lies. Therefore, the villain dares to say something, please return to the capital. There is no need to delay in Shuzhong."

After the Jinyi eunuch finished speaking, he bowed even lower.He held the wooden box in front of his body with both hands, completely covering his face.

Ever since Humpty Humpty appeared, Li Qiufeng breathed a sigh of relief.Hearing the Jinyi eunuch's words to persuade Xiao Cheng at this moment, he thought to himself, this eunuch was always timid and cowering around Xiao Cheng's side.Listening to him speak like this, there is still some insight.It's just that Xiao Cheng is arrogant and arrogant, and the eunuch speaks out in public, I'm afraid he won't let it go.

Unexpectedly, after the Jinyi eunuch finished speaking, Xiao Cheng coughed and said, "Fine. Since Mr. Zhuang is the guarantor for the two of you, I don't want to waste your time here. You two can leave. The Imperial Horse Supervisor will not embarrass the two of you again."

Li Qiufeng didn't expect Xiao Cheng to go down the donkey, but it was unexpected.The short fat man seemed to have guessed that Xiao Cheng would agree to stop, he laughed, and said: "Eunuch Xiao is really straightforward. In this case, let's go to each side of the road. Dragons and tigers are hidden in Sichuan. There are many heroes and knights. You Dongchang The reputation in Shuzhong is not very good, if the delay is too long, and some outsiders know the news, I am afraid that it will not be easy for you all to retreat unscathed. Haha, haha."

After Humpty Humpty finished speaking, he turned his head and said to Li Qiufeng, "What are you standing there for? Do you still think that the adults will treat you to dinner?"

After he finished speaking, he cupped his hands towards Xiao Cheng, turned around and walked towards the temple gate.

Li Qiufeng followed behind Humpty Dumpty and walked out step by step.

At this moment, the short fat man waved his right hand back as if nothing had happened.There was only a "chi" sound, followed by a "click" sound next to Li Qiufeng, which startled Li Qiufeng.

He turned his head to look, only to see that the brocade-clothed eunuch holding the wooden box unexpectedly came to his side unexpectedly.It's just that the wooden box he was holding with both hands was broken in two from the middle.The eunuch in brocade clothes was pale, and looked at Humpty Humpty's back in horror.

A moment later, the black gauze cap on the eunuch in brocade clothes suddenly split from the middle, and fell to the ground with a "pop".

The short fat man kept on walking, and said as he walked: "Eunuch Xiao has just sent a message. You slave is still thinking about things. Do you really not know how to write the word dead? Hehe, hehe."

It was only then that Li Qiufeng knew that when he left with his master, the eunuch in Jinyi wanted to murder him suddenly.Just now he had been thinking about fighting Xiao Cheng to the death, but he didn't take this eunuch in brocade clothes to heart.Unexpectedly, this person has been standing respectfully to the side, but possesses peerless martial arts, when he bullies him close to him, he doesn't even notice it.Among the martial arts masters I met, only a few such as Liu Sheng Zongyan and Murong Danqing could stand shoulder to shoulder with them.Fortunately, the master was very skilled in martial arts, and when he noticed that the eunuch in brocade clothes had moved a bit, he slashed in the air with a "hand knife", which not only cut off the wooden box held in the eunuch's hand, but also cut his gauze hat in half.Li Qiufeng knew that his master had already shown mercy, otherwise he only needed a little more strength, and the eunuch's head in brocade clothes, like his gauze cap, had already been cut into two pieces.

Li Qiufeng glanced at the eunuch in brocade clothes, only to realize that although the man had a white face and no beard, he had a lot of wrinkles on his face, and he was estimated to be over 40 years old.

At this time, Humpty Humpty had already walked up the stone steps and walked straight to the outside of the temple gate.Although Li Qiufeng was surprised, he didn't dare to stay any longer, so he followed quickly.

When he walked out of the Town God's Temple with the short fat man, he saw two people lying in front of the temple gate.The two men stared wide-eyed and looked at Humpty Humpty with horror.Li Qiufeng recognized these two people as the two fans who were guarding outside the temple with long swords.His heart was clear, knowing that the master had sneaked back outside the Temple of the City God, and unconsciously knocked the eight guards outside the temple to the ground.

Humpty Humpty didn't even look at the two fans lying on the ground, and walked straight towards the way he came from.Li Qiufeng walked quickly to the side of the fat man, and said as he walked: "Master, thanks to your old man who arrived in time, otherwise the apprentice will suffer a lot if he fights with these gangsters."

At this time, the short fat man's face was no longer half joking, and he said in a deep voice: "You said before that these plotters have great plans, but I didn't take it seriously. It was only after watching these people's behavior that I believed that they were trying to change the dynasty. , has no scruples."
