A knife in love

Chapter 1120

Li Qiufeng was taken aback, wondering why Humpty Humpty spoke like this.Just when he was about to ask, he heard the short fat man chuckle and said: "Feng'er, what do you think of Xiao Cheng's martial arts?"

Li Qiufeng replied without hesitation: "Unfathomable!"

The short fat man shook his head and said: "This old boy's martial arts are not bad, but to say that he is unfathomable is to think too highly of him. At least the person who injured him has much better martial arts than him. "

Li Qiufeng said: "Master said just now that he was struck by someone else's cold sword energy, but the apprentice was stupid and didn't see that he was injured. This man's martial arts are strange and his inner strength is deep. Among the masters that the apprentice has seen in his life, There are very few people who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him."

The short fat man smiled and said: "Sometimes you can't tell the level of martial arts just by looking at it. I just played a move with him, not only tested the depth of his martial arts, but also found a cold sword energy in his body. conflict, but he could only barely suppress it. This old boy has a strange temperament and is not easy to deal with. I didn't understand it at the time. With his wise plan, he knew that he was seriously injured, but he ran to Sichuan to do things in person. When someone strikes, the yin and cold sword energy invades his internal organs, even if he does not die, he will lose his martial arts. It was not until the old boy retreated that I realized that it was not because he wanted to come, but because he had to."

Li Qiufeng heard the clouds and mist, and a confused expression appeared on his face.The short fat man continued: "Just now I have been watching outside the temple for a long time. Although Xiao Cheng's martial arts are great, he dare not underestimate you. At that time, you were the only one in his eyes. Otherwise, with his martial arts, I would hide by the wall How can you escape his eyes and ears? When he draws his sword to deal with you, it is like a strong bow stretched, and all the sharp edges of his body are directed towards you. But in my eyes, he is the key point The hole opened. Because of this, I was able to strike him back in one blow. But after Xiao Cheng retreated, a fierce murderous aura came from behind me..."

Hearing what Humpty Humpty said, Li Qiufeng showed embarrassment on his face, and said, "Master, you are flattering me. Actually..."

Before Li Qiufeng finished speaking, the short fat man laughed and said, "Feng'er, when I pushed Xiao Cheng back, you were indeed standing behind me. But I didn't say that the murderous aura was from you."

Li Qiufeng was taken aback, his face becoming more and more embarrassed.He carefully recalled the situation just now, and suddenly remembered a person, and said in his mouth: "Master is talking about that eunuch in brocade?"

The short fat man nodded and said, "That's right, it's that eunuch. Feng'er, what do you think of this eunuch's martial arts?"

Li Qiufeng pondered for a moment, and said: "Although this person bullied the apprentice, he didn't make a move, so the apprentice couldn't see the strength of his martial arts. On the contrary, the master used a hand knife at random, and almost took it This person's life, I am afraid that his martial arts will not be so high. The apprentice thought that the reason why he dared to kill him secretly was not because he was strong in martial arts, but because he didn't know how powerful his master was. Just like a child of three or four years old, even if he sees a poisonous snake Wild beasts are not as frightening as adults."

The short fat man said: "Feng'er, you are wrong, you are totally wrong. You can't see the strength of that eunuch's martial arts if he didn't make a move. His realm is comparable to that of any sect leader in Jianghu. Xiao Cheng's martial arts are so good that there are traces to be found. But this eunuch's martial arts is so high that there is no trace to be traced. Do you think he is powerful or not?"

Li Qiufeng heard Humpty Man say this, a flash of light flashed in his mind, and he said in a trembling voice: "It turns out that the master is using this person to guide the apprentice's martial arts cultivation..."

The short fat man laughed loudly, turned his head to look at Li Qiufeng, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Feng'er, you are very talented in martial arts. If other people hear this, they will not be like you." as thoughtful."

Li Qiufeng said: "Thank you, master, for your guidance, and the apprentice is very grateful!"

It turned out that the short fat man said a few words casually, but it made Li Qiufeng think of several difficult problems that he had been struggling to figure out when he was practicing Xuanxu sword technique.At this time, being cleverly instructed by the short fat man, he finally figured out the principles of "mystery", "virtual" and "real" contained in Xuanxu's sword technique.Before Li Qiufeng practiced swords, he blindly pursued the three characters of fast, ruthless, and steady, but now he knows that the sword skills have been practiced to the extreme, and they are integrated with the world, and swords can be used everywhere, and everything can be transformed into swords.After figuring this out, his martial arts will naturally improve a lot.

The short fat man said: "This eunuch is not only strong in martial arts, but also quite knowledgeable. I persuaded Xiao Cheng not to get involved with us anymore, and this man immediately saw that we had no intention of going against Dongchang. He then advised Xiao Cheng to stop and not to fight with us. Let's be dirty again, so as not to miss a major event. Xiao Cheng has been refusing to let you go before, and it's because the eunuch said a few words casually. Regardless of his status and martial arts, isn't it too strange to obey this eunuch? Therefore, this eunuch is definitely not Xiao Cheng's servant, but a person with a higher official position, stronger martial arts, and more wit than Xiao Cheng. "

Li Qiufeng carefully recalled the situation just now, and the more he thought about it, the more he admired Humpty Humpty's eyes.He nodded and said, "Master, I really admire you as an old man. You have never been to the capital, but you have a very accurate view of these eunuchs. No one in the world can compare to this wise plan..."

Before Li Qiufeng finished speaking, the short fat man waved his hand at him, and said, "Feng'er, have you learned this flattering nonsense after five years in Jinyiwei? But it seemed too raw."

Li Qiufeng said: "Master, I didn't mean to flatter you, it's because you are too powerful."

The short fat man chuckled, and said: "Damn it, I haven't seen you for five years, why have you become so stupid. Let me tell you, don't say such nonsense in front of me. But that's all I can think about. Tell me, among the eunuchs in Dongchang, who are bigger and stronger than Xiao Chengguan?"

Li Qiufeng pondered for a while, and then said: "There are twelve guards and 24 yamen in the palace, and all the officials in it belong to the palace officials. The twelve guards are headed by Jin Yiwei. Wu, superior to other yamen. The eunuch who is in charge of the office of ceremonies has the power to approve reds, and the power is the most prominent. Although Emperor Jiajing took the throne, he cut off a lot of powers from the office of ceremonies, but in terms of status and power, the eunuch The eunuch is still one of the most powerful figures in the palace. The Yumajian is in charge of the imperial army and is related to the Ministry of War. Compared with the Silijian, his power is not much less. However, the eunuch in the palm of the imperial horse has always been invisible. Not revealing, just sitting in the yamen of the Yumajian, and rarely showing up. There are two officials who assist the Yumajian in charge of the eunuchs, one is to supervise the eunuchs, and is in charge of the internal affairs of the Yumajian. Training and other routine affairs. The Yumajian yamen is self-contained in the imperial palace, and the whereabouts of the officials under it are secretive. I have been in the capital for five years, and I have never seen the three eunuchs of the Yumajian, the supervisor, and the admiral. But listen Jin Yiwei and Dongchang's Fanzi said that these three people have great martial arts, are quite wise, and they are all extremely powerful people. Although the eunuch who is the chief eunuch in the palace is the head of the eunuchs in the palace, but for the eunuchs who are in charge of the horse and the supervisor , Admiral and the three eunuchs, he can't command either."

When Li Qiufeng said this, he paused for a while, and then said: "Xiao Cheng is the eunuch who is the imperial horse supervisor and the admiral. In terms of status in the palace, he naturally has to obey the orders of the imperial horse supervisor and the eunuch. Right now, the eunuch who is the imperial horse supervisor and the seal eunuch It's Lan Chengqi..."

The short fat man laughed when he heard this, and said: "The eunuch in brocade clothes just now is probably this Lan Chengqi. This time, Dongchang not only dispatched the eunuch of the imperial horse supervisor and admiral, but even the eunuch with the palm seal of the imperial horse supervisor also went to Sichuan. The reason why I said that Dongchang has no scruples in order to change the dynasty is because I can see that the Jinyi eunuch has a higher status than Xiao Cheng. These dead eunuchs came out in full force, and naturally they put all their eggs in one basket. They would not give up until they found Emperor Zhengde. "

Having said this, the short fat man frowned, pondered for a while, and then continued: "You said that Emperor Zhengde lives in seclusion in the imperial mausoleum. He only experienced the battle in the imperial mausoleum. Emperor Jiajing already knew about it. Emperor Zhengde had no choice but to find him again. Although we don’t know whether Emperor Zhengde has arrived in the middle of Sichuan, we must have discovered clues when Dongchang made a big move to the west. Although Xiao Cheng promised to return to the capital immediately, it may not be easy for them to abandon Emperor Zhengde. thing."
