Chapter 45 Chapter Fifteen

Rebellion of Xiaoqiang, Part Two, Chapter 15, The Oriole is Behind On the same day, the Southern Chu assassins arrived suddenly, and Zhe's guards were all lost. Zhe was wounded by an arrow and almost lost his life. General Lai Pei Yun Xiang saved him. ——"The History of Chu in the Southern Dynasties·Jiang Suiyun Biography" Pei Yun was shocked. Although he didn't turn around, he could feel my breath and asked, "Master Jiang, what's the matter with you?" I took out a jade bottle from my bosom and took one of the pills inside. The turbulent blood in my chest gradually calmed down. I raised my head and said lightly: "I know that you have always worked for His Royal Highness, if you hadn't been ordered to be in Xiangyang that day, Protect Mr. Rong, I'm afraid His Highness may not be assassinated to death."

The middle-aged man lowered his head slightly, tears flashed from the corner of his eyes, and said coldly: "Master Jiang had a deep affection for His Highness in the past, and he traveled thousands of miles to rescue him. If my lord votes for Dayong, Southern Chu is in danger, I want to swear, if such a thing happens, I must take my lord's life, Your Highness said, My lord will understand him, His Highness assassinated your lord, it was a last resort for Nan Chu , he begged His Excellency to forgive a dead man." I said lightly: "I won't blame Your Highness. Your Highness is still loyal to Nan Chu until his death, but I am not a bit loyal. His Highness tolerated Sui Yun before he was alive, and Sui Yun is very grateful. Don't worry, Your Excellency. If I survive today Suiyun will never forget what His Highness entrusted that day, and if there is a chance, he will definitely live up to the entrustment."

The middle-aged man looked stunned, then returned to normal, and said calmly: "Jiang Suiyun is indeed very generous, this time killing you is also my own idea, the rise and fall of the country is everyone's responsibility, I can't bear to see the fall of Southern Chu, that day Your Highness often sighs in front of me, saying that if Master Jiang is willing to assist Nan Chu with all his heart, then the country will last forever; if His Excellency votes for Dayong, then Nan Chu will perish forever. With such internal and external troubles in Nan Chu, if you don’t kill you, you will regret it in the future ."

I glanced at him, and was about to continue talking. It’s good to delay the time anyway, but he seemed to see through my thoughts. His figure rushed towards me, and Pei Yun greeted me. The murderous aura forced me to retreat to the corner. Watching them fight hard, my mind is stuck in memories. When I returned to Jianye from Shuzhong, I experienced a big change. During the recuperation period, Xiao Shunzi had already found out that Prince De had sent someone to monitor me. There will be no changes, but we must guard against it. So after the establishment of the secret camp, I asked Xiao Shunzi to carefully investigate the people around Prince De, and this evil hand is one of Prince De's most trusted confidants. Always hiding in the dark, what he is good at is assassination. Although because of Prince De's temperament, this person has not played much role, but I have long listed him as a threatening figure. Now, he appeared when I was negligent. Who would have thought that he would assassinate me, an ordinary surrender, in the heavily guarded Yongwang Mansion after the death of the Prince?Alas, I knew Prince De's utter loyalty that day, but I didn't expect him to leave a will to deal with me when he died. Although I can understand, I still feel a little chilled.

I smiled wryly and looked forward. Pei Yun was fighting Poisonous Hand with a serious face. His every move seemed simple and clear, but it was like an iron wall blocking Poisonous Hand's pervasive ultimate move like mercury pouring down the ground. Although it was still a tie However, seeing the solemn expression on Pei Yun's face, I knew that he might be at a disadvantage.Look at the room, there is only one window, the door is tightly blocked by two people fighting, dragged our weak body, walked to the window, pushed open the window, regrettably saw a clump of roses outside, if you want to say that I am Although the garden has been tidied up, it is not spring after all, so there are still a lot of miscellaneous flowers and weeds. For example, the briar outside the window has not bloomed, but there are many sharp thorns on the stems. If I jump out, I am afraid He was about to be covered in bruises, and he shuddered, deciding not to jump out unless it was absolutely necessary.

At this time, Poisonous Hand and Xiexin was already a little anxious. It was not easy for him to sneak into Prince Yong's mansion, and even though he had stayed in the mansion for a few days, the rules here were strict, and he could not get close to Jiang Zhe at all. A team of patrolling guards passed by within the time of sticking incense, if they were alarmed, he would not be able to escape even if he had three heads and six arms.Moreover, although Xiao Shunzi next to Jiang Zhe didn't know martial arts skills, he was considered a top-notch master with his poisonous hands and evil heart. King Yong had a banquet, and a large number of guards were in front. The guards here in Hanyuan were a lot more relaxed. According to his observation, the patrolling guards would pass by half an hour later, so he boldly killed all the guards and sent their The body was hidden so that he could have ample time to assassinate Jiang Zhe. The only thing he didn't expect was that there was a Shaolin master beside Jiang Zhe, a set of Arhat boxing. own.Time is running out, Poison Hand Xiexin became ruthless, suddenly shouted, his face turned blood red, blood oozes from the corner of his mouth, his palm technique suddenly changed, his skill doubled, his palm technique became even more weird, and there was a "bang" , the two palms met, Pei Yun's face turned pale, and he took a step back. Before he could fight back, the poisonous hand and evil heart followed him like a shadow, and rushed at him again.

"Bang, bang, bang", three times in a row, Pei Yun was forced back three steps by the poisonous hands and evil heart, and was about to touch the table. In the turmoil of the palm wind, the altar of burning knives and wine jar was affected, and the altar of wine was broken in an instant Splash, Pei Yun had an idea, took a step back, put the wine jar into the air with one foot, and then slapped out a strong wind with his palm. Now the room was full of wine, and the drops of wine mixed with Pei Yun's true energy. Thousands of palm shadows were drawn in front of him, blocking these "hidden weapons". At this time, Pei Yun rushed to me, carried me on his shoulders, and rushed towards the window, the splintered wood hit my face with pain , the leather boots on Pei Yun's feet tapped on the dry rose bushes without hesitation, and then, dizzy, I found that I was already in the garden.

With a loud shout from behind, Poison Hand Xiexin has already rushed out, and I saw Poison Hand Xiexin's figure as fast as lightning, rushing towards me, Pei Yun tightly guarded me, although the situation was more dangerous, Poison Hand Xiexin was already good at martial arts Attacking from all sides made Pei Yun's defense stretched, but the open terrain is also good. Pei Yun protected me and hid in Tibet, and finally saved my life for the time being, but this is not going to work. Let alone anything else, I just fell ill. At this moment, my hands and feet are weak, and I am out of breath after hiding like this. I am afraid that if I do another ten or eight moves, I will collapse.

Pei Yun also saw the danger, and thought he could only do his best, his complexion suddenly became solemn and solemn, his complexion was faintly golden, he no longer dodged, left me and rushed towards Poison Hand Xiexin, when Poison Hand Xiexin saw Pei Yun's treasure Xiang Zhuang was solemn and said in shock: "Invincible Vajra Power." Dare not neglect, the two people's bodies intersected and separated suddenly, Pei Yun rushed back as if he didn't feel it, Poisonous Hand Xiexin's face was a little pale, this was the first time he had a relationship with Pei Yun Lost in the competition of internal strength.He didn't know that Pei Yun was also uncomfortable. His invincible vajra power was only trained to 70% of the fire. This time he used it with all his strength regardless of his life. If it took more than a stick of incense, he might suffer serious internal injuries. Life is not hindered, and you can't be more diligent in the future.Although he took the risk, he still has no hesitation, not because of Jiang Zhe's kindness to him, nor to please King Yong, nor to protect the benefits brought to Dayong by the surrender of Southern Chu. He has no intention of doing meritorious deeds at all. The only thought in my mind is the admonition that the master gave when he accepted himself as an apprentice - protect the kind and innocent.He never felt that there was anything wrong with Jiang Zhe's surrender to Dayong.

Although I don't know martial arts, I also know that there will be troubles beyond the ordinary. Pei Yun's sudden surge in martial arts must not last long. Seeing that the poisonous hands and evil hearts are entangled by him, I ran to the gate of Hanyuan. There should be the body of the guards there , As long as I find the copper whistle on them, I can call for help. Those copper whistles are exquisitely crafted, and even if I blow them, the whole house can hear them. Poison Hand Xiexin wanted to chase me down several times, but Pei Yun blocked him. His murderous intent became even more intense, his face turned blood red again, and his skills increased. This time he couldn't help but vomited a mouthful of blood, and raised his palm to push Pei Yun back , was about to kill me, but Pei Yun was desperately blocking it, and he hesitated for a while, if he used the method of disintegrating the demon for more than three times, he would bleed from his seven orifices. After recuperating for a few years, after thinking about it, my martial arts skills are all higher than this young man, and I can kill him with ten more moves. At that time, I will have time to chase and kill Jiang Zhe again.

I rushed to the gate of Hanyuan and found the body of the bodyguard in the bushes, but my heart immediately became cold. Those copper whistles were thrown beside the corpse, but they were all destroyed.I looked around blankly, what to do, what to do, I'm afraid I can't escape at all.Gritting my teeth, I looked around and saw where I could hide. It wasn't that I wanted to run away. If I left, Pei Yun could still escape. If I didn't leave, Pei Yun would have to fight to the death.Suddenly, I remembered that there were some self-defense poisons hidden in the living room, and I hurried to the garden again, stumbling towards the living room. Seeing that I was back, the two people who were fighting each other breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that as long as he is still there, I can concentrate on fighting this person. Pei Yun felt much more relaxed when he slowed down, but in his heart But he was very anxious, why did Jiang Zhe come back again. Both of them had doubts in their hearts, and fought a few more moves, Pei Yun was a little unable to hold on, and thought, I didn't expect that I didn't die on the battlefield, but died in the cold garden of Prince Yong's Mansion, at the hands of an assassin.Even so, he is determined and will not let up.Poison Hand and Xiexin are not in a hurry, after a while, he will be able to complete the task.At this time, I took a stainless steel cylinder and hurried out, looked at the place where the two were fighting hard, and said loudly: "General Pei, don't worry, although my poison is powerful, it will not kill you immediately. There will be an antidote for you." As I said that, I pressed the mechanism towards the two of them, and a red bullet popped out from the cylinder, which exploded on the heads of the two of them, and the pink smoke immediately enveloped the two of them. For medical skills, some poisons are normal for self-defense. He quickly flew to retreat, but he was entangled by Pei Yun, who was struggling with courage. He had to hold his breath. Who knew that when the smoke touched his skin, his limbs felt Numbness, although Pei Yun felt the same, but the martial arts he practiced were authentic Buddhist martial arts, so he endured more than ten breaths of time, so Yizhang hit the lower abdomen of Poisonous Hand Xiexin, and the body of Poisonous Hand Xiexin was shocked and fell to the ground , but was also pushed out of the range of smoke by Zhang Feng.And Pei Yun's body was also tottering, and he fell to the ground. I was overjoyed, and ran over quickly, poured out the antidote from a green jade bottle and stuffed it into Pei Yun's mouth. After a while, he sat up, and said hoarsely: "The poison has been cured, don't worry, my lord, Yun will protect you and arrive here." Go somewhere safe." I took Pei Yun by my arm and said gratefully: "Thank you General for saving me, let's leave quickly, it will be bad if there are assassins left." Pei Yun thought the same way, if there was an assassin, he would be powerless to protect me. The two of us walked towards the garden gate, and we were both exhausted by supporting each other. When I heard the soft sound of the bowstring, a white feathered arrow had already sunk into my heart like a flash of light. I stared blankly at the feathered arrow on my chest and the blood that immediately oozed out. I never imagined that my life would be so lost. , Strangely, I don't have the slightest fear in my heart, and I don't have any hatred. I don't blame the person who killed me. In life, the weak prey on the strong, and he will naturally have his reasons.Looking at the direction where the feather arrow flew, the assassin holding a bow and arrow hidden in the dark was also looking at me coldly. He was dressed in a blue shirt, covered with a snow-white silk scarf, and his eyes were as clear as spring water. Looking at me with a trace of regret, I can feel the loss of life in my body.Pei Yun's exclamation came from beside my ears, but I didn't have the energy to think about it anymore. Before I died, there was a fragrant figure in my heart, then a soft blue figure, and the last thing I remembered was the one who had been following me all the time. The figure of the handsome young man beside me, the sight in front of my eyes is no longer clear, I saw Xiao Shunzi flying towards me with a face full of horror, what a pity, I haven't had a chance to entrust him to take care of Roulan yet, But I think he will know, with a faint smile and regret, I finally closed my eyes, and my consciousness sank into the endless abyss, sinking into it. So I didn't hear that shrill cry full of despair. In the main hall of Prince Yong's Mansion, Li Zhi smiled and toasted all the distinguished guests. His eyes swept over the crowd. Qin Qing left shortly after the banquet. Li Zhi already knew that he seemed to have had some disputes with Jiang Zhe when he arrived in Hanyuan, but judging by his expression , should have passed away, although there are still some grievances, but it shouldn't matter, oh, Xiahou Lan, Xiahou Yuanfeng and his son have come to the banquet, Xiahou Yuanfeng's position is relatively low, and he is going to the banquet in the side hall, this person can't be underestimated Look, it is not easy to be favored by the emperor for several years. If this person has not already taken refuge in the crown prince, but also wants to get involved with the emperor's sister, I am afraid that I would also want to recruit him. He is versatile in both civil and military affairs, and he is indeed the number one in the Yong army. The young master, since he defeated Pei Yun, has been firmly in the top position.Pei Yun didn't come, the one I was most optimistic about was actually Pei Yun, although he was an old member of King Qi, but he was also a Shaolin lay master, and he was a bit dissatisfied with Fengyimen, so he should be able to recruit him, although it's a pity that he didn't come, But there is still a chance. Li Zhi glanced over and saw Xiao Shunzi dressed as a servant standing in the corner of the hall, looking at the officials with cold eyes. This Xiao Shunzi was only loyal to Jiang Zhe. Weaker than Pei Yun and Xiahou Yuanfeng, he is a capable subordinate. Seeing that he volunteered to observe the guests who may be enemies here, one can know his intentions. If he hadn't been so loyal, Li Zhi would have thought about the future. He arranged it in the palace. At this time, Li Zhi saw a guard hurried in and said something in a low voice beside Gou Lian who was in charge of the banquet arrangement. Xiao Shunzi's expression changed, and he retreated quietly. Gou Lian was walking towards him, but at this time several dignitaries from the court also surrounded him, and Li Zhi couldn't get away for a while. Gou Lian approached him at the right time, and he said in a low voice: "Your Highness, something is not good. Hu Shiwei, the deputy chief who protected Suiyun, and two subordinates were killed by someone in the inner palace, and there were two corpses of eunuchs beside him. Someone has been sent to protect Jiang Sima." Li Zhi was shocked, and quickly said: "My lord is going to take a look." Gou Lian said, "I'm afraid His Highness can't get away now." At this moment, a clear mourning sound came from the direction of Han Yuan. The mourning sound was filled with a kind of desperate sorrow, full of grief and hatred of losing a loved one. It hurts unbearably in the ear.The wine glass in li zhi's hand fell to the ground and shattered, his heart was full of ominous premonition, this direction, this voice, he knew that only one situation would happen.Standing up suddenly, Li Zhi shouted angrily: "Everyone listen to the order, guard the whole palace, regardless of high or low, you are not allowed to go in and out without authorization, follow the king." After speaking, Li Zhi shook his brocade robe and ran towards Hanyuan.The anxiety in his heart was better than that when Jiang Zhe sternly rejected him that day. He silently prayed to heaven as he walked. If he could keep Jiang Zhe safe, this king would rather lose his life to replace him. Hurrying to the Han Garden, I saw that the Han Garden had been protected by the guards sent earlier. Li Zhi rushed into the garden gate, and was immediately stunned. There were no traces of Jiang Zhe's master and servant except for the guards he sent. In front of the living room, several guards stood chillingly.Li Zhi walked to the door in a daze, but saw Jiang Zhe lying there with a pale and peaceful face on the soft couch, with a broken feather arrow stuck in his heart, and Xiao Shunzi was kneeling in front of the soft couch, tightly Holding Jiang Zhe's right hand. Li Zhi felt a sharp pain in his heart and mouth, almost fainted, unable to speak a word.
