Brutal touch

Chapter 20: The Five Sons of the Sad Rabbit Die and the Four Sons Offer Treasures for the Hope of Life

Besides, the Fifth Young Master has been unhappy since he returned to the Palace of the Protector for a long time. The intelligence from the Man Kingdom is not wrong. Although the Man Kingdom and the Chu Kingdom cooperate, they often plot against each other during their cooperation. However, the Man Kingdom will not do such a thing. Lying.

The Fifth Young Master looked at the crossbow in his hand and his thoughts became confused. Although this thing no longer posed any threat to him, seven or eight years ago, if someone used this thing to ambush him in the dark, the situation would be dangerous. . There is no great magic in the Barbarian country. In comparison, this thing is much more dangerous in the Barbarian country, and the situation in the country is better. Even if it flows into the people, the only ones that can be used are those craftsmen who cannot practice Qi. Not a threat. On the other hand, if there are so many people in the barbarian country who cannot practice Qi, if they all pick up this thing, they don't need to target the masters and powerful people, but only attack and kill the new Qi practitioners. In this way, the Barbarian country may be able to support one generation or two for a long time. If you go down, the country will be destroyed.

Thinking of this, the fifth young master felt a twitch in his heart. Now he is thankful that there is such a thing as great magic in the country. Thinking of this, the fifth young master felt a little disappointed in his heart. Although the Protectorate Palace has made many deals with the barbarian country for various reasons, But that kind of disdain for the barbarian country is something that the Fifth Young Master is born with. The Fifth Young Master had fantasized more than once that one day, as recorded in the history books, the entire Barbarian Kingdom would be reduced to a collapsed land. At that time, he would lead his men to occupy the Barbarian Kingdom. It's a good way to vent the resentment that has been building up for many years.

But what makes it even more difficult for the Fifth Young Master to accept is that the Man Kingdom, an opponent that the entire country has been deliberately facing for generations, is now facing such a joke-like ending. As an old rival, Fifth Young Master was not happy at all at this moment.

The Fifth Young Master waved away the few guards around him and slumped down on the Grand Master's chair alone. He had never been so tired in his life.

Suddenly, the Fifth Young Master stood up straight and thought of something in his mind: "Come here!" The Fifth Young Master's mind went blank for a moment and he even forgot the name of the guard next to him, so he had to shout casually.

A guard came in close. When the Fifth Young Master saw the person, he changed his face and said, "Here you go." The Fifth Young Master glanced at the crossbow on the table and was unwilling to call out the name. "Bring this thing to the Fourth Young Master, and tell him about the new order issued by the King. This kind of things are strictly prohibited, and violating it will be a serious crime. Come to the Palace of the Protector and show the Fourth Young Master a sample of this thing first."

The Fourth Young Master and Nan Qin stayed in the Great Beihuan Temple for three days. Every day, the Lord of Red Bull City treated him with great gifts, but he never gave the Fourth Young Master a chance to ask questions. Every time the Fourth Young Master wanted to take the initiative to ask questions, the response he received was always ambiguous and confusing. The Fourth Young Master wanted to give up several times, wanted to say goodbye to the Lord of Red Bull City, and find another way, but Nan Qin knew that the Fourth Young Master was going to the bitter cold place of Baiyun Peak, and wanted to say goodbye more often and less often, so he simply played tricks and refused to let the Fourth Young Master After leaving, the Fourth Young Master also knew to stay in Dabeihuan Temple.

People coming and going from the Huguo Palace to the Great Beihuan Temple happened to be the absence of the city lord of Red Bull City. Baji and his party did not dare to neglect them. They first screened away the irrelevant people and then ordered people to prepare a banquet and invite them to the side hall.

The guards did not refuse the food and wine, they just immersed themselves in eating and drinking, and never mentioned official matters.

Xia accompanied him at the banquet. No matter how polite he was, the guards just ate meat and drank wine and did not answer any questions. Xia had no choice but to find an excuse to get up and leave the banquet. The guards just responded and did not watch where Xia went.

Here, Fang Shu came to a side hall to see Bai and asked: "There is a visitor from the Protector Palace. He is a stranger and carries a baggage. He will eat meat and wine and take money if he is given. But no matter what he asks, he will not reply. Before, I have also received people from the Protector Palace, but I have never seen such a character."

Bai meditated: "According to the past rules, I gave you both the money for mounting and the money for dismounting, but I can't get a word back. I think this person is just here to get into trouble."

Xia smiled bitterly and said, "Even if you are here to get trouble, and you can get rid of it with money and good words, don't make grudges with the people of the Protector's Palace. It's just that the rank of the Protector's Palace can't be seen in the clothes, and I don't know where this is." sacred."

Bai stood up and left the side hall. He pretended to pass by the guard's private room and took a sneak peek through the window. He came back to find Xia and said, "The people coming from the Protector Hall are either arresting people or reporting funerals. He is the only one who does not meet the requirements for arresting people." The rule is to find someone to announce the funeral. If it is from the Great Beihuan Temple, he must not dare to eat and drink in front of us like this. Go and find out how many distinguished guests are staying in the Great Beihuan Temple now."

Xia ordered people to check the accounts. He knew that he could not stay longer, so he got up and returned to the private room. The guards here still messed up the food and wine. He got up, picked up the baggage and said, "Where is the Fourth Young Master? I want to see him." "Xia did not dare to neglect and led the guards to see the Fourth Young Master. Someone had already informed the Fourth Young Master. The Fourth Young Master changed his clothes and Nan Qin stood on one side.

When the guard saw the Fourth Young Master, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed and said, "I greet the Fourth Young Master and follow the Fifth Young Master's order to inform the Fourth Young Master of the new order issued by the King. This kind of thing is prohibited and violation of it is a serious crime. The Fifth Young Master ordered me to come forward." Come and show a sample of this thing to the Fourth Young Master first."

When the Fourth Young Master saw the crossbow, he was immediately furious and a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fainted immediately. Nan Qin stood up and said: "What a powerful slave, what order did you give me? Keep me in custody!"

On the left and right were people from Dabeihuan Temple, not Nanqin's own servants. Naturally, they did not dare to touch people from Huguo Palace, and they did not dare to pretend not to hear Nanqin's words, so they had to kneel down first, and the servants on both sides knelt down. Platoon, but the guard who delivered the order did not dare to get up when he saw this look, so he had to kneel down. Bajizhong Hao He, Shu, Bai, and Han all came in and persuaded: "This slave deserves to be killed, but after all, there is a layer of Protector's Hall in the middle. After all, he needs to be given some face. At the moment, the health of the Fourth Young Master is still important. .”

Nan Qin said harshly: "In that case, let's keep this slave's dog head and let him kneel here until the fifth master comes to take him away." Then he asked Hao He and others to lift the fourth master to lie on his side. The guards who abandoned the Protector Hall left.

Here, the Fifth Young Master brought people to the Imperial College. When the Fifth Young Master saw them, they hurriedly stood aside. When the Fifth Young Master saw those people, he waved his hand and called one of the Imperial High School students to come in and asked, "Do you know where the Fourth Young Master usually rests? "

The student knew that he was from the Hall of Protecting the Country, so he didn't dare to lie and said, "The bamboo building on the left side of the lake in the courtyard is where the Fourth Young Master rests on weekdays."

After hearing this, the Fifth Young Master led his men straight to the Bamboo House and said to his personal guards, "This is the Bamboo House. You go in and search carefully to see if there is anything suspicious inside."

Everyone was ordered to rummage through the boxes and cabinets inside, and soon they reported that they had found a crossbow similar to the one brought back by the Fifth Young Master. The Fifth Young Master looked carefully and fired a few more crossbow arrows, which were even more powerful than the barbarian crossbows. The Fifth Young Master thought to himself: "As expected, the fourth child must be able to think of things that the people of the Barbarian country can think of, but he didn't expect that this crossbow is actually made more exquisitely than that of the Barbarian country. After all, it is me who touches the outstanding people of the country, not the barbarian people." The barbarians in the country can be compared, but I don’t know if the poison has leaked out?”

Then he called Hei San, the captain of the guard, and said, "You, bring a few imperial students here, and be careful not to disturb others." Hei San took the order and brought a few people to handle it.

Not long after, Hei San brought several imperial students to the Zhulou to meet the Fifth Young Master. The Fifth Young Master ordered someone to show the crossbow made by the Fourth Young Master to several imperial students, and asked, "Do you recognize this thing?"

All the students looked at it and lowered their heads, not daring to speak. A bold student replied: "Isn't this something made by the Fourth Young Master?"

The Fifth Young Master asked: "Have you all seen it?"

Hei San said: "My subordinates have initially found out the matter. The Fifth Young Master lives in seclusion on weekdays and doesn't know about it. The young people in Huoguo often compete in competitions when they have nothing to do. There is a circle drawn in the open space of Taixue where they often compete. After all, a group of Young people are not allowed to use any means in martial arts competitions, so the Fourth Young Master often won the championship a few years ago."

The Fifth Young Master looked at Heisan and then at the college students in front of him: "What about in a few years?"

Hei San said coldly: "After a few years, these young people have become tougher, and the Fourth Young Master's tricks will naturally stop working. Now the recognized number one, I heard, is Nan Qin."

The fifth young master suddenly asked several imperial students: "The fourth young master also defeated you back then?"

The imperial students all bowed their heads and remained silent, which was regarded as acquiescence.

The Fifth Young Master asked again: "You said that all of you Qi practitioners lost to the Fourth Young Master, are you convinced?"

The students said: "This is the rule. The one who wins wins the first prize. Since he loses, there is no need to be convinced."

The Fifth Young Master only made a gesture to let go of the group of Taixue students, and quickly left the Taixue alone, forgetting to ask his subordinates to follow him. Several of his men had no choice but to follow the Fifth Young Master from a distance.

The fourth young master here gradually opened his eyes and saw Nan Qin lying beside the bed, looking at him with tears in his eyes, and said with guilt: "It's my fault for making you worry. Now that I think about it, the order was faked by Lao Wu." Yes, just to let the guard test my reaction."

Nan Qin said with a tearful voice: "In the future, you should also practice your character. Even if it is true, it is just a child's toy. Why should you vomit blood if you disagree with me?"

Fourth Young Master: "The fifth child should have gone to Taixue now and discovered my gadgets. Come on, I will take you to find out what's wrong with me."

The Fourth Young Master took Nan Qin's hand and came to the Fourth Young Master's house. He bypassed the front yard and went straight to the rockery in the back garden. The rockery had been secretly hollowed out by the Fourth Young Master, and inside it was a cart that was one foot and three feet long. , the Fourth Young Master smiled and said, "Push this cart out and have a look."

Nan Qin used a trick, and the cart rolled out of the rockery. On top of the cart was a giant crossbow seven feet long, four feet high, with an arm more than ten feet long and composed of three crossbow arms.

This made Nan Qin startled. Judging from the small crossbow made by the Fourth Young Master before, even if he was hit by such a bed crossbow, he would not be safe. Nan Qin was shocked: "Is this what you are really afraid of being discovered?"

The Fourth Young Master smiled and said, "Well, I didn't lie to you."

Nan Qin said displeased: "Did you make this kind of thing with the intention of killing people?"

The Fourth Young Master smiled and said, "I made something like this just to kill people. How many people would I have to kill if I could practice Qi to the level of Shi Zhe?" After speaking, the Fourth Young Master suddenly changed his expression to a sad look and said, "But it's a pity that this The thing is no longer mine."
