Chapter 50 False (2)
An Xingmian seemed to be a different person.He has fought with others in his life, and he has never been so vicious as he is now. It seems that he wants to use the teacher's death to explode the grievances that have been suppressed in his heart for the past few months.His moves are like the wind, and he recruits people's vital points. He completely lost the "elegance of the feather clan" that Feng Qiuke specially emphasized when teaching him-even though he is not a feather person, the effect is obviously better.In fact, all of his opponents are not weak in skill, and under normal conditions, they probably can't beat them with outnumbered enemies.But the martial arts passed down from the Yu clan like him are rare in the first place, and these people work for the government all the year round. They often threaten and intimidate them, and rarely actually fight. When they encounter desperate fights like An Xingmian, Some were inexperienced, and their morale was even more frustrated after he took the lead and injured several people in a row.

What's more, there is Xue Huaiqing's invisible and invisible poison as backup, so they have to be careful, and it is easier for An Xingmian to take advantage of it.After a while, half of the dozen or so warriors had been knocked down, and the rest began to feel fear, and the encirclement gradually loosened.

The bearded man looked very anxious, but he seemed to have no martial arts skills, so he stood by and was helpless.But he was very cunning, seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately made preparations to flee, and quietly moved towards the door of the back hall step by step.At this time, the door of this bank has been tightly closed, and that is the only way to escape.

Xuehuai looked at the six roads with blue eyes, and had already noticed his actions.Taking advantage of the opportunity that An Xingmian had just twisted an enemy's arm and blocked him in front of her, she strode to the door and slashed at the bearded man's throat with a wave of her palm.The bearded man didn't expect that he would be blocked, so he hurriedly dodged to avoid it, but Xue Huaiqing changed his moves very quickly, the palm missed, and immediately bent his five fingers, grabbed his beard, and pulled hard.

With a sound of "chi la", an unexpected situation appeared - this bushy beard was pulled off in its entirety!Holding the beard, Xue Huaiqing froze for a moment before realizing that it was just a fake beard!Looking up at this "big beard", after losing the beard on his face, although he is not young, his face still looks fair and clean, and there is not even a bit of stubble on his face.

"Bastard! Come on!" the beardless "Big Beard" screamed in shock and anger.This cry made Xue Huaiqing slightly startled again, because the voice of this person suddenly changed, becoming shrill and piercing, like male and not male, female and not female, making people feel goosebumps all over their body when they heard it Feel.Moreover, this voice was somewhat familiar, and she felt that she must have heard it before, but she just couldn't remember it all at once.

But she didn't have time to think about it, she took a step forward, scratched the back of "Big Beard"'s right hand with her fingernails, grabbed him, and shouted: "Stop it all! Otherwise, his poison will be incurable." !"

Everyone turned their heads to look over, only to see that "Big Beard" was helplessly restrained by Xue Huaiqing, and the back of his hand was swollen like a pig's trotter, showing a shocking purple-black color.It seems that this "bearded man" has a relatively high status, and the warriors stopped immediately and dropped their weapons on their own initiative.

Only then did An Xingmian have time to catch his breath.His physical strength was not very good, and the series of violent attacks just now had actually exhausted him a bit, but he always gritted his teeth and persisted, and his movements were not slow at all.Now that Xue Huaiqing has controlled the situation, he can finally relax a little bit and wipe off his sweat.

"What they say is what they say, listen to them!" "Big Beard" yelled loudly, but the warriors didn't need him to say more, and they stood still and dared not move.Xue Huaiqing glanced at them, and said coldly: "Send someone out, take us out through the back door, prepare three fast horses at the back door, no tricks are allowed. The poison I gave him is only a relieving potion, and the antidote needs I'll write the prescription to match. If you don't have quick hands and feet, maybe I won't write the prescription when I'm happy, and he will have to wait to die, unless he cuts off his own hand..."

Speaking of this, Xue Huaiqing suddenly paused, she stopped talking, and waited for the other party to answer.The warriors didn't hesitate too long, and soon a man came forward, rolled up his sleeves and patted his hands to indicate that there was no hidden weapon on his body, and then led the three of them to the back hall.

The warrior didn't dare to play tricks at all, and quickly led a group of people through the back hall and walked out.When they arrived at the back door, there were indeed two horses tied there. Xue Huaiqing untied the horses and ordered "Big Beard" to ride up first. "Big Beard" was dejected and did not dare to resist at all.An Xingmian and Xue Huaiqing also jumped on the other two horses, and the three horses flew away.

With "big beards", they naturally couldn't go back to Qianyun Hall directly, but turned a big corner and left the city first.An Xingmian tied "Big Beard" to a big tree and blindfolded him. Xue Huaiqing said to him, "The antidote and your location will be delivered to the bank when we get back. If you had been dishonest before, you might have lost your life."

"Big Beard" was very anxious: "Then when will my poison take hold?"

Xue Huaiqing stuffed a pill into his mouth: "Swallow it, you won't die within three days. But I have a question to ask you, if you don't answer honestly, I'm afraid I won't be able to spare your life."

Although "Big Beard" seemed greedy for life and fear of death before, he also knew the weight of Xue Huaiqing's problem at this moment, so he could only mutter and say: "You have to know that I work for the emperor, and it's okay to say what I can't say." dead..."

Xue Huaiqing ignored him, leaned down, and asked word by word: "My father-in-law, please tell me, why are you making things difficult for Xing Wanteng and his gang?"

"You... what are you talking about?" "Big Beard" tried to be calm, but still couldn't hide the trembling of his voice.When An Xingmian heard Xing Wanteng's name, she also felt a little familiar. Thinking about it carefully, it was the past story that Xue Huaiqing once told him, and it was related to her adoptive father Shen Zhuang's family vengeance.How did this bearded man get in touch with Xing Wanteng?And why "father-in-law"?He suddenly had some ominous premonition.

"Is it useful to deny it in front of me?" Xue Huaiqing said coldly, "I have already remembered your voice."

"My... voice?" "Big Beard" was very surprised.

"You didn't expect that on the night you forced Xing Wanteng to death, there was another person who witnessed the whole process, and that person was me," Xue Huaiqing said, "I was looking for Xing Wanteng, but he was arrested. You were the first to kill, so I had no choice but to look for an answer on you."

"You...you must have heard it wrong," "Big Beard" stammered, "my voice can easily be mixed with other people's voice..."

"My ears can never be wrong," Xue Huaiqing said resolutely, "When you revealed your original voice due to fright, I already found that your voice was very familiar, but I couldn't remember it for a while. But Later, when I said the sentence 'unless he cuts off his hand', I suddenly remembered who you are. Do you remember that night? Xing Wanteng used Gu to turn his body into a A nest of poisonous bees, you were stung by one of them."

"Big Beard" was silent, as if realizing that he could not deny it, Xue Huaiqing went on to say: "What you did next left a deep impression on me: you picked up a knife from the ground and slammed it Cut off my abdomen, cut off the poisoned piece of meat, and then ran away clutching the wound. Although I escaped with my life by chance, the wound probably hurt your vitality, so you lost a lot of weight , plus a fake beard, no wonder I didn't recognize you."

She took out a dagger from her bosom, swiped it down twice, and lightly cut the clothes on "Big Beard"'s stomach, revealing a deep scar on his stomach.She continued to lower the dagger, and slit open the opponent's pants without any shame. Both An Xingmian and she could see clearly what the lower body was like.This is really a fake castrate.

She is really a woman who has no scruples. Some aspects are completely opposite to Tang He, but some aspects are similar. Although she is full of worries, An Xingmian still can't help laughing secretly.

"I've been wondering why your voice is so thin and unnatural. Then I figured it out. You are a palace eunuch," Xue Huaiqing said. From the imperial capital, you obviously have quite a privilege."

The eunuch who put on a fake beard let out a long sigh: "If I don't tell you, it's death, if I tell you, it's death. I just want to die quickly, so... please give me a good time."

Both Xue Huaiqing and An Xingmian were taken aback. They didn't expect that although this person was timid, he would still refuse to disobey Huangwei.Although An Xingmian was still depressed by the news of Zhang Haoge's death, he was able to control his emotions and think calmly. Seeing that Xue Huaiqing's white face could no longer sing, it seemed that he needed to come out and sing the red face.He said in a gentle tone: "My lord...uh, this father-in-law, we just want to find out some things, not to embarrass you personally. If you are willing to tell this girl what she asked, we will I will keep it secret for you and promise that it will not be leaked out, and I can also pay you a considerable reward."

He originally thought that usually people who are greedy for life and fear of death will also have the attribute of greedy for money. After such gentle persuasion and money temptation, the other party will definitely give in. Unexpectedly, the eunuch did not hesitate at all: "A considerable reward? I am It's useless to have nine lives. If you two want to kill me, please do it, I don't want to try his methods."

The two looked at each other, feeling a little helpless.An Xingmian never liked to kill people, Xue Huaiqing didn't care, but killing this person obviously couldn't solve any problems, and he still couldn't ask what he wanted to ask.While hesitating, An Xingmian suddenly heard a piercing sound of wind coming from his ears. Knowing something was wrong, he hurriedly dodged to the side, and pulled Xue Huaiqing over. Xue Huaiqing was defenseless. It fell on An Xingmian.But she also heard the sound of piercing the air at the same time, and turned her head hastily to see that a few darts passed by where the two were standing just now, and were firmly nailed to the eunuch's throat and chest and other vital parts.

Xue Huaiqing didn't bother to check the eunuch's life and death—although she knew in her heart that the eunuch probably wouldn't survive—jumped up from the ground, and even said "sorry" in the midst of her busy schedule, because she directly stepped on the eunuch. On Xingmian's arm.She sprinted towards the direction where the dart hit, but only saw a vague figure, which disappeared quickly, and she couldn't catch up at all.

She spat on the ground and walked back depressed. Sure enough, the eunuch's throat had been pierced, and blood was gurgling out.An Xingmian inspected it and shook her head at her.The two were relatively speechless, but An Xingmian quickly came to his senses.

"If they can find out my family background, they will definitely be able to find out our relationship with Qianyuntang. It's no longer safe there. We have to move Big Brother Bai and the others away as soon as possible," he said.

It was already the early morning of the next day, and Xue Huaiqing searched out all the bits and pieces of the eunuch's body, and then used the corpse dance technique to manipulate the corpse into a river beside the road.The corpse will float far along the current, and the smell will be washed away, which can delay the time for the enemy to find it.Then the two hurried back to Qianyun Hall, Li Fuchuan, who was called a buddy but actually a behind-the-scenes butler, hadn't fallen asleep yet, and had been waiting for them worriedly.

"Butler Li, you don't have to wait for us like this, it's delaying your rest." An Xingmian said apologetically.

Li Fuchuan shook his head: "Master An, I didn't wait for you on purpose, it's just that when I think about the serious implications of this matter, my scalp becomes numb and I can't fall asleep."

"Then I'm even more sorry, because... I'm afraid Qianyuntang has already been implicated," An Xingmian said with a more apologetic face, "Please evacuate everyone in Qianyuntang immediately, and then hand over your master and Miss Tang. Take it away with me, this place may soon be surrounded by the army."

Li Fuchuan's eyeballs suddenly widened.Looking at his appearance, it seemed that he really wanted to say a few disrespectful words to An Xingmian, but in the end, he just sighed: "I expected that sooner or later there would be such a day, my master is like this A troublemaker, so I was prepared for it in advance."

"Be prepared in advance?" An Xingmian was very surprised.

"Don't forget, my master was raised by Heluo since he was a child, and Qianyuntang has been selling Heluo's weapons all the time, so he has a close relationship with them," Li Fuchuan said, "Because the master always sells weapons For some dangerous people, I have long been worried that he will cause disaster, so I asked Heluo to dig a secret tunnel in the yard, which can lead directly to a Heluo underground city outside the city, which is where the master grows up. the Heluo tribe."

"You really plan ahead." An Xingmian felt sincere admiration.

Li Fuchuan's ability to handle affairs has once again been fully reflected.In less than half a time, he methodically commanded everyone in Qianyun Hall to run at high speed, burn ledgers and other items that might become unfavorable evidence, pack up valuables and daily necessities, and transport away everything in the secret room. The top-grade Heluo weapons hidden, and Bai Qianyun and Tang He were carried out on a stretcher.Finally, he directed his servants to pile up firewood and pour fuel on it, and lit a fire.

"I can't express my apology in words," An Xingmian stood at the entrance of the secret passage, and looked back for the last time, seeing that the raging fire had engulfed the entire Qianyun Hall. I'll take care of it."

Li Fuchuan shook his head: "No, even if the emperor let us go, I will not let the master rebuild the Qianyun Hall again. I have never disobeyed him in my life, and this will be my first time."

"Why? Isn't that such a pity?" An Xingmian was puzzled.

"It's a pity that many years of foundations have been destroyed, but it's not a bad thing," Li Fuchuan said with deep meaning. "Selling Heluo weapons is a very dangerous thing, and making friends with those dangerous people always makes me His heart is hanging in mid-air. The master is too obsessed with his disabled legs, always desperately wanting to surpass others, to prove that he is no worse than healthy people, this has become his inner demon."

An Xingmian recalled what he said and did after meeting Bai Qianyun, and nodded silently, Li Fuchuan smiled slightly: "Seriously, Mr. An, when you told me we had to give up Qianyuntang , for a little while, I hated you so much, I hated you to the core. But when I started to light the fire, I suddenly calmed down and even started to appreciate you a little. Maybe this will be a new beginning, let The master discarded the resentment of the past and began to enjoy the peace of mind."

"Inner peace..." An Xingmian sighed, "Lao Li, you know, although the starting point is different, you really sound like a long-door monk."

Behind him, the flames shot up into the sky.Qian Yuntang was being reduced to ashes in the flames.

three

An Xingmian once entered Heluo Dungeon when traveling with teacher Zhang Haoge, so she was not surprised by such a magnificent landscape hidden deep underground, but this was the first time Xue Huaiqing saw it.Although she is not interested in anything outside her body, especially the cities under the sky are almost identical in her eyes, but seeing such a spectacle that is clearly made by man-made, yet seems to be completely natural, it is still unavoidable to be a little shocked.
