Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 706

"Si'er, besides you, I can only temporarily feel at ease now by living a life of immediate combat." Jue Tu looked into Bao Si's watery eyes with a smile.

"Then you accept my request, Jutu, I hope you stay in Luoyang and protect me and Xiao Wanyun!" Bao Si Gu Pan smiled, and the fragrance filled his lungs.

"Since it was Si'er who asked you, how could Jutu refuse to agree!" Jutu stared at Baosi, and couldn't help smiling.

"Hey, look, isn't that woman the demon queen Baosi? That is, the legendary evildoer who subjugated the country. If it weren't for her, she would not be able to live in a good place and leave it to those barbarians of Xirong!" Suddenly, rumors gradually spread from not far away. There was a taunting voice, Jutu glared at the onlookers, and immediately put the light gauze cloak on Baosi's cloud temples.

"These guys who spread rumors and gossips are really hateful. They turn black and white everywhere. It's not easy for our country to live in peace and prosperity. If this continues, the country will be ruined by rumors!" An Tong, who was aggrieved, immediately cursed.

Cheng Rong hurriedly stopped An Tong. At this moment, those serious people were cursing and pointing. They were about to leave, but they were stopped by another group of people who were on their way.

"Where did you come from? If we hadn't been for the Empress Dowager Ping to assist the emperor in reducing taxes, we would have been unable to live on. Now you are good, don't you go traitors, and instead come to accuse the Empress Dowager, why don't we know you?" There was a quarrel, and the group of people saw that something was wrong, and ran away in a panic.

"Well, it looks like another spy sent by our enemy." Qu Tu couldn't help sneering contemptuously.

"Quitu, the court has not yet got rid of the treacherous and sycophant situation in the late emperor's time. Zhou Ji and Tuosheng are gangsters. If you go to Shuilongguan, it will be a disaster!" Cheng Rong patted Qutu's face. Body, painstakingly persuaded.

"Okay, I've decided not to go to Shuilongguan!" Jutu resolutely agreed.

The Hall of Shuilong Shuren was first repaired in the early dynasty, and Prime Minister Zhou Ji took the lead to practice three kneelings and nine kowtows to the beginning.

Chuxiu looked at Qutu and Cheng Rong, and couldn't help asking: "My dear friends, what's the matter today?"

Cheng Rong listed Hu Qizuo and said: "I report to the emperor, I see that although the imperial court has not used large-scale troops recently, there are still Xirong forces at the border, and there is already a trend of Wen Tianwu playing in the court, so I ask the emperor to personally lead the tigers Army, appointed the generals of the Huben Army to defend Shuilongguan, and handed over all the military power in various places, and the emperor appointed Taiwei to manage it."

"Cheng Aiqing is meeting my wishes!" Chuxiu immediately agreed with a joyful face.

After the imperial court, the frustrated Prime Minister Zhou Ji and General Ma Yan complained all the way, furious at Cheng Rong's remonstrance.

"Prime Minister, our good military power was confiscated by that Cheng Rong with a few words. After that, there will be no army. What will we become in the court? Cheng Rong and Qu Tu are simply working together to weaken our power on purpose. In the future, what value will we have in the eyes of the emperor?" Ma Yan cursed.

"General Ma, as the saying goes, there are no two sides, and the first is the strongest. Cheng Rong and Jugtu are determined to oppose us and want to seize our power. If you have the courage, send a skilled assassin to kill us." They got rid of them in one fell swoop!" Zhou Ji's eyes showed murderous intent.

A few days later, Cheng Rong wrote a memorial, suggesting that in order to regulate the salaries of officials, the imperial court should send a supervisory censor to investigate the situation of officials' fiefdoms and report them monthly.When Zhou Ji's subordinates heard the news, disputes broke out immediately, and they all begged to see Zhou Ji, crying endlessly.

"It seems that Ju Tu and Cheng Rong are determined not to let the old man's chancellor go down. Come, come, enter the palace immediately, and find the chief steward!" Zhou Ji stared at the noble cup in his hand, and immediately ordered his subordinate Gong Jin to say.

In the middle of a dark and windy night, a carrier pigeon flew out of the palace and landed on the cage of the prime minister's mansion.

"Reporting to the Lord, someone left you a note!" Early in the morning, the sun was rising, and Ju Tu was about to go to court as usual, when suddenly An Xiaotong came forward with a letter to report.

"What's the matter?" Jue Tu immediately opened the note, and suddenly found that Xinyue's name was written on it.

"My lord, it's Haojing's seal. It seems that Xinyue has fallen into the hands of Xirong spies, what should I do?" An Xiaotong asked worriedly.

"How could Xinyue be kidnapped by the Xirong spies when she was fine?" Que Tu was furious immediately.

"Master, could it be Madam?" An Xiaotong quickly covered his mouth.

"Let's go, let's hurry to Yunjia Village!" Without saying a word, Qu Tu jumped on the bay red horse and galloped away.

"My lord!" An Xiaotong was afraid that it would be dangerous for Qu Tu to go alone, so he immediately followed him on horseback, and ordered his subordinate Zheng Ge to report to Cheng Rong and An Tong immediately.

Worried about Xinyue's safety, Juetu came to the Yunjia Village written in the letter without stopping. He set up a pergola and looked around, but there was no one appointed by the Xirong spies to join him.

"Oops, could it be that he has been tricked by someone?" Que Tu was startled, and at this moment, there was a sound of sobbing and struggling in the yard not far away.

"Could it be Xinyue?" Que Tu suddenly became uneasy, and immediately rode forward and went down to the yard. Following the fragrance of the sound, he pushed aside a clump of thatch. Sure enough, on the pillar, five flowers were tied up and struggled desperately, but they were blocked. Xinyue, who was at the mouth, watched Ketu eagerly.

"Xinyue, what's going on?" Quetu immediately untied Xinyue, but at this moment, a sword with a cold light came to Quetu's neck.

"Jetu, I really didn't expect that it would be so easy to kill you!" A burst of hysterical laughter came from the side of Quetu's ear.

Quetu intentionally didn't say a word, and suddenly swung his arm, knocking out the sword in the enemy's hand behind him, then turned around like lightning, and kicked the person behind him to the ground with flying feet. the person's throat.

"I really didn't expect it to be you, Boding's younger brother Boli. Why, how did you Xirong people sneak into our Central Plains? Are you here to avenge your brother?" Que Tu looked at the person carefully, and couldn't help laughing stand up.

"Ju Tu, I came to the Central Plains this time not only to take your life, but also to do a big business. As for you, you are just one of them!" Bo Li laughed arrogantly.

"It's better for us to resolve our enemies than tie them up. Sooner or later, the people of Dazhou and Xirong will coexist peacefully. Boli, I don't want to kill you. Let's go!" Khutu took back his sword and calmly said to Boli.

"Sure enough, he is a hero. It's not surprising that my brother died at your hands. Well, Qutu, we will meet later." Boding put away the knife.Immediately rode away.

After shaking, Que Tu hurriedly picked up Xinyue, got on the bay red horse, and said to Xinyue, "Xinyue, follow this horse back home."

"Ku Tu, what do you do then? I'm worried about you, so you have to go back too!" Xinyue took the rein and stared blankly at Hu Tu.

"Don't worry, you go back first, I'll protect you from behind!" Ju Tu patted the bay red horse, and the horse galloped away.

"What a loyal Zheng Guogong, but it's a pity that even if he dies today, no one will understand that we did it!" Suddenly, a dozen black-clothed killers appeared behind Qutu.

"So it turns out that Khabarovsk is just a bait, and you are the assassins who are going to kill me today. Let me guess, who are you?" Jue Tu sneered and glanced at the assassin.

"Stop talking nonsense, brothers, come on!" The men in black waved their treasured swords in their hands, and immediately attacked them in groups. Their digging swordsmanship was exquisite, even if it was one against ten, they were not timid. After dozens of battles, they were defeated. It was discovered that these black-clothed swordsmen were very skilled in martial arts. At this moment, more than a dozen archers sprang out of the village, attacking with random arrows. Qutu was caught off guard immediately, and was hit by an arrow in the arm. The assassin found that Qutu had been injured, and immediately attacked violently. However, Jue Tu killed three black-clothed men one after another with his strong martial arts. The sword in his hand was bleeding all over the ground, scaring the rest of the assassins back.

"Kutu, get on the horse!" At this moment, a green horse flew to Gaixin, and the masked woman on the horse raised her bow and set an arrow, and shot at the commander headed by the assassin, and then caught the leader of the assassin, and then swaggered away. go.

"Prime Minister, Que Tu was hit by several knives and an arrow just now, and he is already seriously injured. It seems that Que Tu must die!" A wounded man in black came to Zhou Ji In front of him, he cupped his hands and reported to Zhou Ji.

"Zhou Ji, why didn't Qutu go to court today?" Chuxiu waited for Qutu for a long time, but he didn't find Qutu's figure, and suddenly became strange.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager invites the Emperor to the harem for something important!" Suddenly a court lady quietly came to Chu Xiu's side and reported to Chu Xiu in a low voice.

When he came to the harem, what caught his eyes was Que Tu, who was covered in blood, lying unconscious on the soft couch.

"Who wants to kill Dutu?"
