A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

With such a delay, the opportunity has been lost.

Dongfang Mu's response was also extremely alert, taking advantage of the gap between bending over, he had already pulled out a special short dagger hidden in his short boots.

The dagger was obviously also specially forged, and it was not very conspicuous at first glance, but the moment it came out of the body, there was a trace of murderous intent flashing across the black iron.

Qi Wenyan's reaction was not slow either. A stone hit his ankle, blocking the opponent's way of escape, and then quickly trampled on him.

This alley is originally a dark alley, it is extremely narrow, and many movements cannot be performed.

When Dongfang Mu drew his sharp blade out of its sheath, Qi Wenyan had a natural advantage over the unarmed Qi Wenyan, and Qi Wenyan's left forearm was slashed open by him.

After that, the two fought hand to hand, fighting back and forth.

Dongfang Mu was not a kind person at all, since Qi Wenyan blocked his escape, he was merciless and ruthless, only wanting to kill this person before alarming the people on the street outside so that he could escape.

But even though his methods are cruel, even desperately regardless of his own life and death...

After a few moves, he suddenly discovered that he had severely underestimated Qi Wenyan's skill and strength.

He is a man who regards himself as a civil servant, when he fights like this, no matter how fierce he is or how desperate he is, there is no difference.

even--

This kind of contrast in cognition of a person, on the contrary, caused a huge threat and pressure in Dongfang Mu's heart.

It's okay for a person like him to fight desperately with others, but a civil servant who is obviously refined and refined, with no power to restrain a chicken, not only has superb skills, but also has the recklessness of an ordinary man when he kills people Son……

This aura cast a huge shadow on him like Mount Tai was overwhelming. It was the first time Dongfang Mu felt that his heart was not pure and his mind was not strong when he was fighting someone.

After more than a dozen rounds, he failed to kill Qi Wenyan under the blade of a weapon. Suddenly, he rarely felt restless, and he didn't want to fight any more, he just wanted to get out as soon as possible.

But at the moment when his agitation suddenly arose, Qi Wenyan precisely pinpointed the flaw, and almost dislocated his right cheek with a punch, and one of the teeth in his mouth became loose and fell out.

Dongfang Mu had a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat, and swept it out with a backhand with a fierce look in his eyes.

Qi Wenyan, who wanted to continue to pursue the victory, was forced to take a step back.

Dongfang Mu took advantage of the situation and tried to escape by jumping over the wall...

This time, Qi Wenyan strode forward directly, grabbing his ankle and tearing him down who had already jumped half a sky high.

He pulled so hard that Dongfang Mu fell hard, his chest fell to the ground, and fell into the dark alley covered with moss.

That's it, by the way, he was told to spit out the mouthful of blood stuck in his throat.

He groaned, ignoring the moss-covered embarrassment on his body, he turned over quickly when he landed, and then the carp straightened up, using his inner strength to jump two feet away, then turned his head and ran out of the alley on the other side .

Qi Wenyan unhurriedly raised his energy to chase.

Dongfang Mu also expected that he would not let it go, so on the way to escape, he swung his hand and threw the dagger in his hand like a throwing knife.

A cold light full of killing intent rushed towards his face.

At the same time, he overturned a row of thin bamboo poles standing under one side of the wall.

Qi Wenyan was so slow to dodge the dagger sideways, and he had already jumped three or four feet away.

Qi Wenyan still didn't panic, he even gave a cold snort with confidence, picked up a bamboo pole and threw it out.

Dongfang Mu didn't have eyes on his back when he heard the sound of piercing the air from behind, but he also moved to the right immediately to avoid it based on his feeling.

That thin bamboo thorn...

Dongfang Mu didn't even have time to breathe a sigh of relief, but another thin bamboo that followed immediately pierced through his right shoulder blade.

But it turned out that Qi Wenyan had predicted his reaction when he threw the first bamboo pole, and used the sound of breaking through the air to cover it up, and then made it up again.

A three-foot-long thin bamboo pole pierces through the body, even if it is not a vital point——

Either cut it off or pull it out, even a master like Dongfang Mu wants to keep it in his body and drag it away with him...

That's not realistic either.

Besides—

Xizhu pierced from behind, most of which remained behind, not to mention that his only weapon had already been thrown, even if the dagger was still in his hand, he could not reach the position of his back shoulder, and he stabbed with precision.

The alley was not wide in the first place, and now even because of the thin bamboo pole piercing his body, he couldn't even turn around completely.

Dongfang Mu has a bright and ridiculous feeling——

For the first time in so many years, he had a great sense of crisis that he was about to die.

So, taking advantage of Qi Wenyan not catching up to him for the time being, he resolutely pressed his palm on the short section of the bamboo tube protruding from his chest, and with the inner strength accumulated in his palm, he pushed...

While shaking himself out of minor internal injuries, a column of blood also spurted out from the body that was emptied of flesh and blood.

He thought he could bear this level of trauma, but he still overestimated his body's ability to withstand the severe pain. He staggered two steps forward, and his eyes were pitch black. fainted.

In the end, while supporting the wall with the palms to stabilize the body, there was a chill around the neck.

The dagger he threw himself was found now, and it was lying on his neck with incomparable precision.

Dongfang Mu closed his eyes with ashes, and the next moment he was like a dummy who lost consciousness, ignoring the pain of the skin on his neck being cut by the dagger when turning his body, and slowly turned around and leaned against the wall.

He covered the wound on the front of his body with his hands, and there was still blood gushing from between his fingers, not to mention that there was also a hole on his back shoulder.

In just this moment, the blood on the man's face was gone.

With white lips, he stared darkly and coldly at the man in front of him who should be refined and elegant, but now he looks more like a bloodthirsty murderer than him, and sneered mockingly: "My lord is so skilled, why did you choose the career of civil servants? Don't you?" It’s a pity to be a military commander on the battlefield.”

Qi Wenyan knew that he was powerless to fight back at this moment, holding the heavy dagger in his hand, his expression was indifferent, and when he spoke, it was also full of irony: "The Dacheng Dongfang clan has always been outstanding in martial arts throughout the ages. Those who can go to the battlefield to earn military merits, and rise up to the court with an upright and glorious lintel, but why have they been willing to be Yu Wencang's eagle claws, and be the dark guard who can't see the light in his hands?"

Dongfang Mu taunted him, just relying on a few tricks to support the last bit of dignity of the dying man.

but don't want to-

Qi Wenyan opened his mouth to reveal the secret history and pain of his family.

Yu Wencang has ambitions, so at the same time, martial arts people are inevitably cruel, and the idea of ​​using violence to control violence is deeply rooted. Therefore, before his lineage got the throne, all branches of the family had a tradition of raising dead soldiers.

Later, after being able to inherit the great unification, this tradition was carried forward even more.

The dead soldiers beside Dacheng Emperor Yu Wencang were a fearsome existence in his court.

Many people in the Great Hajj knew this, but there should be no one who could count the secret history of Dacheng's No. [-] hidden guard family.

after all--

What their family is doing is the most shady murder weapon in the hands of the emperor. It has always been hidden in the dark. Except for the only one who is qualified for the position of leader who can publicly have a name, the existence of others is in the Dacheng Dynasty. It's an unsolved mystery.

Everyone thought that it was just Yu Wencang's family's preference, and they would give the surname Dongfang to every leader of the hidden guard who stood out.

But few people know-

In fact, they are from the same family. Their family has been loyal to the Yuwen clan for generations, and they have been working as the whetstone of the Yuwen clan, sharpening the sharpest killing weapons for the Yuwen clan.

The muscles on Dongfang Mu's cheeks convulsed for a while, and the next moment, there was more guard and scrutiny in his eyes: "You..."

He wanted to ask how a fourth-rank official in the Great Hajj Dynasty knew so well the secret history of their family of killers who were privately raised by the Yuwen imperial family...

But when it came to the mouth, it felt meaningless.

Under such circumstances, it was basically impossible for Qi Wenyan to answer him, and even if he answered, he would still surely die.

"If you want to kill or cut, just listen to me." In the end, he just gave up resistance completely, "Skills are inferior to others, I have nothing to say."

"It's impossible for me to tell you to die if you don't talk." Qi Wenyan said, his tone was still playful and lukewarm, "You or Yu Wencang, you are entangled with that woman named Ye, I didn't want to expose you. , but now you enter the house and enter the Qi family as a monster... You have to settle the old accounts before you die. She deliberately brought you into the Qi family today, she must have used you to do something."

People like Dongfang Mu are not afraid of death.

What's more, because of such a trivial matter, he has fallen himself...

He couldn't turn his back on Ye Xunyi's affairs at this time, since he was going to die, he had to pull people behind him no matter what.

Otherwise, he would really have died in vain today!

He gritted his teeth and ignored Qi Wenyan.

Qi Wenyan said: "Either here, we can settle it privately, and I'll give you a happy ending, or I can take you back to the Marquis of Changning, and you go face to face with the woman surnamed Ye, choose!"

Ye Xunyi's chess piece is still useful, Dongfang Mu suddenly became nervous...

But in the next moment, he reacted belatedly, Qi Wenyan had just pointed out that Ye Xunyi was in collusion with him and Yu Wencang, so even if the other party didn't pull him in front of people today Confrontation, does this also mean that what they have done recently has been under the surveillance of this person, and even the royal family?
This Shaoqing of Dali Temple is, after all, a high-ranking official who is valued by Emperor Dajin!

This heavy cognition suddenly made Dongfang Mu extremely horrified.

He stared at the ruthless eyebrows and eyes of the man in front of him, and couldn't help asking: "Who are you?"

If it was true that everything they did was no longer a secret—

Aren't their recent actions as ridiculous as clowns?
and--

Knowing that they colluded with each other, did the emperor, who Qi Wenyan didn't report to Dajin, know about it, or did the emperor of Dajin also connive on purpose, and asked Ye Xunyi to help them make trouble here?
If it's just Qi Wenyan's personal actions, that's all. If the royal family is also watching from the dark——

Such connivance with Ye Xunyi's behavior can only show that they are just planning and plotting a bigger conspiracy against Dacheng behind the scenes!

But Dongfang Mu is just a killing machine after all, and it's about his great wisdom to plan the overall situation...

Not his forte!
Then, because he couldn't figure out the twists and turns and the ins and outs of it, he felt bad all of a sudden.

He felt that he lost too much blood, which made his head sluggish, so he shook his head vigorously, trying to wake himself up.

At this time, there was a group of horseshoes approaching outside the alley.

I thought they would just pass by the alley, but I didn't want the person leading the team to find them, and raised his hand to stop the whole team behind him.

It was a team of patrolling guards wearing armor. The leader was a slender figure, but she was a girl.

Dongfang Mu instinctively didn't want to directly confront the people of the Great Court, and immediately panicked.

But with a casual glance, he was shocked to find that the man in front of him who restrained him and even crushed him completely had a flash of panic in his eyes...

Although, this emotion was replaced by anger the next moment.

But it was the expression that was incompatible with his way of doing things at that moment, but Dongfang Mu's brain exploded...

That expression of panic, which could be overly interpreted as cowardice, appeared on this stunning and beautiful face in front of him, and it happened to meet another person he knew...

Although the two faces cannot be completely overlapped, once some clues are discovered, the whole truth will be revealed!
"At the first glance at the Marquis of Changning just now, I thought you had a very kind face, as if you were an old friend." Dongfang Mu sneered in disbelief, "Although it is completely different from his cowardly and flattering character, but your eyebrows..."

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Xuan, who came with Yun Cheng and the others, jumped off his horse and ran over from outside the alley: "Master Qi, Miss Qi's personal maid has been poisoned, and her life is dying..."

On Dongfang Mu's side, he was still immersed in a shocking discovery, staring at Qi Wenyan, and said with great certainty: "You are not from the Qi family in the Marquis of Changning, you are a fish that slipped through the net, the Zhen Guo back then..."

Seeing that Jiang Xuan had rushed over, Qi Wenyan took the lead with a clean backhand under his wrist.

Jiang Xuan hasn't called out the words "keep alive" yet...

Qi Wenyan withdrew his hand, and Dongfang Mu fell straight down with a bloody line in his throat.

Jiang Xuan opened his mouth, not knowing how to react for a moment.

Qi Wenyan took out his handkerchief and wiped the blood off the dagger, and put the seized stolen goods into his pocket in a fair and honest manner, then walked out of the alley without any concern, and said casually: "You want to find an antidote, don't you?" ? Search him, maybe there will be."

In Jiang Xuan's inherent impression, Lord Qi is just a civil servant with a gentle personality but a strong and cold personality. Just based on imagination, he would never have imagined that he would kill people in the street so neatly.

But right now he didn't care about so much, he hurried to Dongfang Mu's body and rummaged through him.

Here Qi Wenyan walked out of the alley like a leisurely stroll.

After Qin Song was transferred from the capital, his original position was vacant, and Yun Cheng took over.

Although I don't know if it was her own intention or the emperor's coercion, she is now in charge of the defense of the capital.

At this moment, the girl was sitting on the horseback, and she seemed to have no intention of dismounting.

Although the light in the alley was dim just now, she could still clearly see Qi Wenyan's sharpness in raising the knife to kill people.

Xu Shi also somewhat couldn't accept the reverse setting that Master Shaoqing of Dali Temple, who is so beautiful and beautiful, is actually a butcher. At this moment, she frowned slightly, looking down at Qi Wenyan from a high position, and did not speak first.

Qi Wenyan looked up at her, but he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with this angle. He still had an understatement expression on his face: "This thief is vicious, and he couldn't stop for a while... I should count it as manslaughter, right?"

Dongfang Mu is a grown-up spy who is dormant in Beijing. If he is brought alive, even if he does not admit to colluding with Ye Xunyi, then Yu Wencang will naturally default to Ye Xunyi's exposure, and he has lost the ability to continue to use him. value.

In that case, the two countries can only fight head-on and continue to play their cards out!
Although it was inconvenient for Qi Wenyan to say it clearly, Yun Cheng understood what he meant.

When the two were confronting each other silently, Jiang Xuan ran out of the alley again with a handful of three or four small bottles in his hand, and reported to Yun Cheng: "The man is dead, and I don't know if there is something in these bottles." There is no antidote, Miss Dian, the little one has to be sent to Dr. Chi for a check."

Yun Cheng nodded slightly.

Jiang Xuan packed his things, climbed on the horse and left first.

Yun Cheng ordered two more soldiers: "Go and collect the corpse, bring it back to the yamen and release it temporarily. This person died unexpectedly, the real culprit is unknown, Mr. Qi just passed by the corpse he just found and reported to the official. Call the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion." Post an announcement, offer a reward for tracing his identity, and tell his family to go and identify the body as soon as possible."

If Yu Wencang knew that this person was killed by Qi Wenyan, then at least Qi Wenyan would bear the brunt of it and become the target of his personal revenge and assassination!
Although Empress Gu didn't include Qi Wenyan in her plan, Yun Cheng obviously defaulted to him as an insider in her camp.

Qi Wenyan didn't show it on the face, but in fact, he just started, and his heart has been hanging all the time.

At this time, listening to her orderly instructions and arranging the follow-up affairs, his tense emotions gradually relaxed and became normal.

He threw the dagger in his hand to Yun Cheng who was on the horse: "I picked it up in the alley just now. It is very sharp and durable. There should be no need to confiscate it. I will give it to you."

The dagger didn't have a scabbard, but both of them had it under their hands, and Yun Cheng caught it steadily.

But she didn't pay attention to the dagger, but raised her chin to Qi Wenyan: "Your arm is injured, find a nearby medical center and get medicine!"

After saying that, he took out a bottle of golden sore medicine from the bag on the horse's back and threw it to him.

At this time, her men had already carried Dongfang Mu's body out of the dark alley, so she waved her hand again and led the team away.

Qi Wenyan stood on the street, watching the group of them turn the next street corner and disappear. He just looked back and raised his left arm to look.

The wound on the forearm was not deep, but it was very long, and the blood had almost soaked the entire sleeve.

In the great winter, it is bitingly cold.

The corners of his lips twitched, he neither went to the clinic nor returned to the Marquis of Changning, but turned around and left.

On the other side, Jiang Xuan rushed back to the Hou Mansion.

Although the Yang family and Qi Huan's mother and daughter were not there, Qi Zhengyu and his wife presided over it, and the birthday banquet at Baoxia was not delayed.

Jiang Xuan came back with that handful of small porcelain vases, but before the horse could be tied up, he rushed straight into the door and ran to Fulin Garden.

I didn't notice that another low-key carriage turned in at a very fast speed from the alley behind me.

He ran back to Fulin Garden, didn't explain in front of everyone, just took out those small porcelain bottles and stuffed them to Chi Yunchuan: "I don't know if there is any antidote for the woman's accomplices. Show it quickly."

Everyone in the room held their breath and stared nervously at Chi Yunchuan.

After checking them one by one, Chi Yunchuan poured out the pills in one of the bottles and called Xing Luo: "Go and get some warm water, it will take effect faster when you dissolve it in warm water."

To be on the safe side, Qi Huan reconfirmed it himself: "Is it the antidote to the disease?"

"Yes!" Chi Yunchuan was also relieved.

Afterwards, he picked up another bottle at hand and shook it at Qi Huan, implying: "This bottle is poison."

Everyone looked at Ye Xunyi in the outer room, who was unconscious on the ground.

In front of Yang and the others, Jiang Xuan didn't say the word adult, but he said that Ye Xunyi's accomplice found it, and didn't say it was Yun Zheng. Qi Huan knew in his heart that they should It is to take down the adult who colluded with Ye Xunyi.

She didn't take the poison, and only asked Chi Yunchuan: "The poisonous blood poured into her will also be equivalent to the onset of poison?"

Chi Yunchuan nodded: "Yes, yes, but the poison content is limited, and the symptoms will be milder when it occurs, and it should not be fatal."

"That's enough." Qi Huan said, took another look at Ye Xunyi, and then said to Wei Feng: "You go to Prince Ning's mansion right now and set fire to Ye Xunyi's bedroom, so as not to worry about her The antidote is still there."

Since this woman's life has to be preserved for the time being, then leaving some residual poison on her body to cause her pain all the time is regarded as the interest calculated to her in advance!
At the same time, the carriage at the gate stopped, and Su Qinnian, who should not have appeared here, came down in a hurry.
