That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 545 Rules and Past Events

After Fu Zhongtian appeared, several young men and women came together through the air. They were all dressed in black brocade clothes and black gauze on their heads. They were similar to Chen Moling's attire, and they were all standard equipment in the Dark Guard's Mansion.

The reason why the dark guards have three governors in the hall is not only to make them check and balance each other, but also because the three governors are required to perform their own duties. Invention, nominally has the highest official rank and the greatest authority; the right governor is in charge of supervising the five imperial guards, and has a responsibility similar to that of supervising the army; The Great Sect also governs most of the monks affiliated to the Dark Guard Mansion, so it is also known as the "Lord of the Dark Guard Mansion". Even many monks will not address the Zuo Dudu Fu Zhongtian as the governor, but directly Call him Lord Mansion.

These young men and women who have just arrived, although they are dressed in the official robes of the dark guards, are actually monks of good realm. Under the cultivation of the dark guards and even the court, they will not be weaker than Taoist disciples of the same age. Moreover, the Dark Guard Mansion is by no means the kind of sect that shelters its own disciples under its wings. These young people have already started fighting with various casual cultivators who do not obey the laws of the king. They have rich experience in fighting the enemy. The life-and-death struggle is slightly better than those disciples of the big sects.

Chen Moling is the best of these shadow guard monks. After he saw Fu Zhongtian, he stopped guarding Duanmuyu's body. After coming to Fu Zhongtian to respectfully salute, he also stood in front of the group of young shadow guards. middle.

Fu Zhongtian bowed slightly to Duanmu Ruisheng first, then smiled at Zhou Tong and said, "Why is Old General Zhou so angry?"

Looking at Fu Zhongtian with a gentle smile, Zhou Tong, who is a veteran of the imperial court and a master of martial arts, felt a little jealous in his heart, but fortunately, it wasn't the human cat who was in charge of the army, so he couldn't control him. So he just calmly said that nothing happened, and then retreated to Duanmu Ruicheng's side.

Only then did Fu Zhongtian look at Xu Beiyou, and said in a warm voice: "Nangui, why are you shouting and beating and killing so furiously here? This is not good."

Nangui, this is Han Xuan's name for Xu Beiyou, usually only those who are close to him will call it directly, but Xu Beiyou can't remember when he had a close relationship with the left governor of the Dark Guard Mansion.

Xu Beiyou said softly: "Fu Dudu is serious. Mr. Xu has never called for beating, nor has he called for killing. It is Old General Zhou who called for beating and killing. Xu just wants to explain my reasoning to Mr. Duanmu."

Fu Zhongtian played with taste: "It's just a reason?"

Xu Beiyou said calmly: "Jianzong's principles."

Fu Zhongtian suddenly intensified his tone, and said in a deep voice: "The governor is ordered by the emperor to monitor the monks from all walks of life. No sect or any monk should commit crimes, murder, and pervert the law in the imperial capital. Jianzong also belongs to the sect. Lie, I'm afraid that the truth of your sword sect will not make sense."

Xu Beiyou didn't speak, but looked at a woman behind Fu Zhongtian.

This woman is also wearing black yarn, brocade clothes and black boots, which makes her figure even more enchanting, and because of the knife at her waist, she looks a little more heroic.

Xu Beiyou realized that he actually recognized this woman, but this woman must have died under his sword, and after a closer look, he could see some differences, especially the difference in aura between the two.

Xu Beiyou suddenly smiled at the woman and said, "I once killed a person in Xiliang Prefecture. She looks exactly like you. She seems to be called Gu Yan or Gu Yan? I can't remember."

The woman suddenly turned pale as if struck by lightning.

Xu Beiyou continued: "Actually, that was the first time I killed someone. Master taught me how to kill, why to kill, what to do after killing, and why I did this. I benefited a lot."

The woman, or the dead Gu Yan's twin sister, Gu Yan, became paler and pressed down on the handle of the knife at her waist, but her palms were trembling slightly.

Xu Beiyou said with a smile: "Do you know why I killed her? That would be a long way off, and we have to start with the 20-year Chonglong Temple in Taiping..."

Fu Zhongtian and Duanmu Ruicheng frowned at the same time, Fu Zhongtian said softly: "Enough."

Xu Beiyou didn't continue to talk about the tragic past, and said with a light smile: "The incident of Chonglong Temple let me know the truth of the Dark Guard Mansion, which is to punish the heart, and my first murder was actually talking about a sword that belongs to the sword. The principle of Zongzong lies in killing one's body, killing one's heart is the most unreasonable thing in the world, but it happens to be the principle of our two families, it's really funny."

All the princes of the imperial capital were confused and didn't understand what happened to the Chonglong Temple in the 20th year of Taiping. Only a few wise people noticed the subtle changes in the faces of the two governors, and happened to hear about it. The incident of Chonglongguan two years ago, this is the way to get some unusual meaning.

There were rumors that all the Taoist priests in the Chonglong Temple in Zhongdu were replaced overnight. Some people said that the master of the Chonglong Temple offended the master of the Town Demon Hall and was cleaned overnight, and some people simply did not believe this. Rumors, thought to be non-existent.

But looking at it today, it might have something to do with the Dark Guard Mansion.

Min Chun is one of the very few smart people. At this moment, his heart is overwhelmed, and he is more and more curious about what this Young Master Xu has experienced. He actually had such a deep connection with the Dark Guard Mansion two years ago. , and can know such secrets.

Xu Beiyou looked at the woman again, and said aggressively with words: "Do you want to avenge your dead sister? Come, come, here is the head of a good guy, Xu, and he can be beheaded with one blow."

Fu Zhongtian frowned again, and all the monks behind him also showed displeasure, but Chen Moling's expression was indifferent.

Gu Yan bit his lower lip, his hands stopped trembling, and he began to draw his knife with a determined face.

Fu Zhongtian raised his hand abruptly, using the same method as Xu Beiyou's before, pushing back the half-unsheathed Xiuchun Knife with just his aura.

Xu Beiyou's repeated verbal agitation was not to bully a weak woman, but to a matter of reason or reason.

This is also the reason why Fu Zhongtian did not make a move for a long time.

The Dark Guard Mansion has always been known for its domineering and domineering nature. For ordinary people, the Dark Guard Mansion can certainly be unreasonable, but this Mr. Xu is different. Xiao Zhinan, Xie Suqing, Zhang Wubing, Yu Kuang, and even Xiao Bai, Xiao Mohe, Mu Tangzhi and others are inextricably linked. In the eyes of these real dignitaries, the name of the Dark Guard Mansion may not be so Scary, otherwise Gongsun Zhongmou wouldn't call the dark guard a slave of the Xiao family.As the saying goes, if the people in the Dark Guard House attack this Young Master Xu first, then it would be unreasonable. And become a party that doesn't take advantage of it.

Now Duanmu's family is in the vortex of muddy water, rational and unreasonable, it is not so important to talk about the rules, but he, Fu Zhongtian, is still a person standing on the shore, so whether there is any reason, whether he acts according to the rules, it will appear It's crucial.

As long as he acts according to the rules, no one can say anything, but if he doesn't act according to the rules, no matter who he favors, he will inevitably fall into the quagmire of the blue-han faction.

It is easy to get in this quagmire, but difficult to get out.
