Chapter 50 Chapter Twenty

The Second Xiaoqiang Rebellion Chapter 20 Chasing Thousands of Miles Suiyun's injury was not healed, so the king of Qi went to visit him personally. At that time, the crown prince and King Yong were clearly separated, and many people were puzzled, but later they knew that the king of Qi was good at protecting himself. - "The History of Chu in the Southern Dynasties."The Legend of Jiang Suiyun" The next morning, I was half asleep and half awake. I vaguely felt that someone was covering me with a quilt. The movements were very strange. I woke up suddenly. To be honest, after this narrow escape, I am not as indifferent to the things around me as I used to be. , opened my eyes slightly, and then I saw Qi Wang Li Xian sitting beside me with a dazed expression, and Xiao Shunzi staring at him covetously.My heart moved, and I heard King Yong say that when I was struggling with life and death, King Qi knew that I needed bear bile to continue my life, so he sent a serving of bear bile to me regardless of the suspicion. Princess Changle gave me Scrophulariaceae and bear bile. It was something I didn't expect. I was even more surprised by King Qi's behavior. This will offend the prince. Why did he do this.But I didn't open my eyes, what can I say, I have made a choice long ago, that is, if I don't follow King Yong, will I still follow King Qi? Since it is destined that there will be no distinction between monarch and minister, why bother? Cause a little concern.

King Qi sighed, turned around and walked out, stopped at the door, Xiao Shunzi closed the door and followed out, I pricked up my ears, and heard King Qi say calmly: "I know you are not an ordinary person, remember to tell your master, Since he is a person who is indifferent to fame and wealth, why bother to stir up trouble here? Fengyimen is easy to provoke, but if they don't make a move, isn't there any master around the prince? This time, to persuade him not to stay in Chang'an anymore." I heard Xiao Shunzi's cold voice saying: "What the lord taught me is that the servant will tell the young master."

After a while, Xiao Shunzi opened the door and walked in, with a cold murderous look on his face, I asked strangely, "What's the matter? Do you hate King Qi very much?" Xiao Shunzi said angrily: "Who wants him to cry like a cat? Does he think we don't know what role he plays?" I raised my eyebrows to express my doubts, Xiao Shunzi calmed down and said, "His Royal Highness Prince Yong and I have been busy with your son's affairs these days, and General Sima is in charge of the investigation in the palace. It is used in the army, but it is not easy to bring in bows and arrows. When His Royal Highness entertained guests on the 16th, the checks on the guests were very strict. No one could bring bows and arrows that day. It was hidden in advance, but after investigation by General Sima, there was no clue. Then we remembered that Princess Qi came to visit Princess Qi on the 15th. We must not check Princess Qi's car carefully, so General Sima suspected that those bows and arrows were Princess Qi. Brought in, and then used by the assassins."

I said lightly: "There is no way to confirm this matter. The only solution today is to re-plan the defense of the palace. Although His Highness suffered many dangers in the past, the Fengyi Gate did not officially support His Highness the Crown Prince at that time, so Yongwang Palace The defense is still okay, but now it is not enough to deal with killers of the level of Shangfengyimen." Xiao Shunzi said coldly: "My lord, are you sure that the one who assassinated you was Fengyimen?" I looked at the fire in his eyes, and I was afraid that after I said "yes", he would go out to kill people, but I could only shake my head and said: "I only said that the level of killers should be no worse than Fengyimen, but I didn't say yes People from Fengyimen did it, I saw the assassin that day, if I saw him again, I should be able to recognize it, but I can be sure that it wasn't Qin Qing who did it."

Xiao Shunzi frowned and said: "Other than that, there are only Xiahou Yuanfeng and Li Hanyou, and General Pei is by your side. With the status of Duke Wei, it's unlikely that he is him." I said lightly: "Xiahou Yuanfeng said it was convenient for him to go out, and Li Hanyou said he didn't like the noise in front, so he went to the back to see the princess after the congratulations, both of them are possible, but we can't rule out that there are other people mixed in Maybe, we all know that those who have the ability to go directly to Hanyuan to assassinate must be the guests of that day or the insiders in the palace, but this cannot be used as evidence, so although the two of them are suspected, the prince cannot arrest them. "I always I can't say it's Li Hanyou, after all, I haven't even seen her face, so it's better not to speculate without evidence.

Xiao Shunzi said coldly: "I can do what the prince can't do. As long as the young master allows it, I'll go and kill them." I laughed and said: "Nonsense, how can we be unreasonable? If they do it, they will still embarrass us in the future. Are you afraid that you will not have a chance to deal with them? Alright, let's go after the poisonous hands and evil hearts. No matter what, we will always fight against them." We can't let him go in vain, leaving future troubles." Xiao Shunzi said calmly: "Don't worry, my lord, I have rearranged the defense of Hanyuan. My lord didn't like them being too close in the past, so I can't let my lord do it this time."

I said embarrassingly, "Well, I just don't chase them away." Seeing me like this, Xiao Shunzi said: "When I come back, you can do whatever you want. If I'm not here, you must have no one around you, Young Master." I nodded repeatedly, this time I was assassinated, Xiao Shunzi was very guilty, he always felt that he didn't protect me well, but he is not a person who complains about himself, so from now on he will never let me mess around, although I like to be free, But when I think about it, my life is the most important thing. Before, they didn’t know the importance of me. I almost lost my life. In the future, I’m afraid that my side will be in danger every step of the way. How dare I do it casually? Anyway, it’s just that there are more guards around me. I just pretend I can't see them.

Xiao Shunzi had to leave in a hurry. I knew he was going to chase and kill Poison Hand Xiexin. It is said that because of Poison Hand Xiexin, he had escaped several times. And if he couldn't personally kill the assassin who participated in the assassination that day, Xiao Shunzi would never forgive himself no matter what. I lay down comfortably. Now my most important task is to maintain my body. Thinking of Mr. Sang’s warning, I don’t want to live for only ten years. I have to practice the Qigong that has been abandoned for a long time. Life is so colorful , if I died early, wouldn't it be a pity, this time I escaped from the dead, I feel that many things have been taken lightly, even thinking of Piaoxiang, I no longer feel pain in my heart, but only remember her beauty and the past happy.

Leaving Prince Yong's Mansion, King Qi Li Xian returned to his mansion with a blank expression. Just as he walked to the gate of the Golden Valley Garden, which only he could enter, he saw Qin Zheng waiting there with a few maids. The Golden Valley Garden was Li Xian's own residence. , without permission, no one is allowed to enter without permission, not even Princess Qin Zheng, so she waited at the door. Seeing Qin Zheng, Li showed a sarcastic smile and said: "Oh, the princess is pregnant, why stand here, this king can't bear it, I don't know what the princess has taught."

Qin Zheng shook his body and said: "Your Highness, I don't understand why Your Highness treats me so kindly. You and the prince are on the same boat, but you were delivering medicine and inquiring about it a few days ago. To make the prince unhappy, and now I go to visit again, don't you think the prince is not in my eyes, the concubine is only for the sake of His Highness, why does His Highness--" "Shut up." Li Xian's expression became ruthless, and he said coldly: "Princess, what did you do, do you want me to tell you? Why did Fengyimen suddenly think of assassinating Jiang Zhe? How did you bring the bow and arrow in?" , do you think this king is a fool, Jiang Zhe has saved this king's life, although this king does not have that blessing, he can be used by me, but whoever asked you to do it for me, please go out and kill him."

Qin Zheng looked flustered. Although Li Xian was moody in the past, he had never been so angry like today. She couldn't help explaining, "I didn't mean it, I just said that His Royal Highness and King Yong valued Jiang Zhe, and the order came from the inner court." It has been passed down, and the concubine is also acting according to orders." After saying this, Qin Zheng's face turned pale, and she realized that just now, she admitted the fact that she monitored Li Xian, and also admitted that she participated in the assassination plan Facts about Sima Shuaifu. Li Xian glanced at Qin Zheng coldly, and said lightly, "If you weren't my wife, why would I bother to fix it for you, Zhenger, you are so stupid, I don't know who is so kind to you, that's all, you go , take a good rest, don't go out for a walk during this time, and take care of your baby at home." After saying that, Li Xian turned and walked into the Golden Valley Garden, looking at his cold and arrogant back, Qin Zheng wanted to follow, but the black door was closed, Qin Zheng only felt that his heart was getting colder and colder. Dizzy, she fell softly into the arms of the maid. The moon was sinking, the stars were faint, standing on the bank of the river, the poisonous hands in a black robe looked at the reeds in the misty moonlight on the other side, and felt a burst of joy in my heart. This is the outskirts of Guangji County, Hetianjia Town, Yongning County, Qizhou Prefecture. Although this small ferry is unknown, it is the place he is most familiar with. It is located in the remote edge of the three counties. The rolling Yangtze River flows through the two sides of this place. The mountains are stacked, the vegetation is verdant, and the river is very narrow. It is the secret of Nanchu and Dayong. The ferry most often used by spies, he looked at the four big characters "Chujiang Lock and Key" on the cliff on the river bank, but he didn't relax in his heart. Although this is only known to night travelers as the best place for smuggling, but now the people who are chasing him Either secret spies in the army or Dayong martial arts masters, this must be the place where they set up an ambush, although they can be safe as long as they cross the Yangtze River, which is stripped of water, but it is not easy. Along the way, he walked on thin ice everywhere, and the decree of King Yong spread all over the checkpoints in Dayong. Although he disguised himself as invisible, he still showed up several times. Fortunately, his martial arts are outstanding, and stealth is his forte. The most hateful thing is that those people in the rivers and lakes in Dayong who are not restrained by the government also targeted him. One reason is because of the lofty status of King Yong in their hearts, and the other reason is that it makes him He couldn't help but laugh. The reason why Xiahou Yuanfeng, the number one young master of Dayong, was recognized was because he defeated Pei Yun, the commander of the imperial army, in the martial arts performance. Knowing that he and Pei Yun were both "lose-losers", many young masters thought that if they defeated him, they would be qualified to challenge Xiahou Yuanfeng, so these young masters with many connections began to entangle them. The young man felt ashamed, and spread rumors that if he returned to Nanchu alive with evil hands and evil intentions, then the masters of the Great Yong River and Lake would lose face. In this way, he was really besieged on all sides. Waiting for myself.He smiled slightly, tied up his clothes, and walked boldly to the river. Less than a hundred steps away from the river, he heard the sound of the bowstring, and a silver arrow passed his cheek like lightning, and disappeared into the night. The poisonous hand Xiexin stood on his feet, and turned his head slowly, only to see a young man in white under the night. Holding a silver bow and looking at him proudly, a woman in red beside him smiled sweetly.Poison Hand Xiexin's expression changed, and he said calmly: "Okay, so it's Duanmuqiu, the prodigal son of the silver bow, and Qiao Yan'er, the fire Luosha. If you hadn't assassinated him that day, how could the prince have been injured? If I could kill you today, it would be in vain. one line." At this time, someone behind him chuckled lightly and said: "Oh, Duanmu, your great achievements are still remembered, what a pity, it would be even better if you succeed that day." With that burst of clear laughter, a small boat floated from the center of the river, and a thin young Taoist priest stood on it. His arms were slightly longer than ordinary people. Matching his strange appearance, he looked a bit fairy-like. , but with a pair of lively eyes, it can be seen that he is a person with a cheerful personality. After hearing what he said, Duanmuqiu couldn't help smiling bitterly, and said: "Bitter bamboo, you can't get ivory out of your mouth." At this time, several people came out from the left and right sides. On the left were two beautiful young girls, one was as elegant as a fairy, and the other was innocent. On the right were three youths with exactly the same appearance. There was a long sword on his waist, but among the three young men, one wielded a knife, one held a gun, and the other had a soft whip wrapped around his hand. Poison Hand Xie Xin smiled slightly and said: "Sure enough, you are the only ones to catch up. It's strange to say that the people in Prince Yong's Mansion are not in a hurry, but the Crown Prince, King Qi and Fengyimen are very anxious." This sentence pierced people's hearts like a sharp sword. Except for the young man on the small boat, everyone's face changed color. The poisonous hands and evil hearts took off the leather bag around their waists, took a sip of the wine in the bag, and said: "Daddy Yong is good at everything, but the wine here is not as good as the fine wine in Nanchu. Alas, I have to endure it. After crossing the river, I will go to the wine shop to taste the fine wine. Today, whoever comes first among you is the silver bow under the command of King Qi Luo Sha, or Sanyi of Zhongzhou in the prince's mansion, or the third and seventh girls of Fengyimen, could it be possible that you need to take the lead in your affairs?" Those three youths took a step forward, and the youth who wielded the sword said coldly: "You have evil hands and evil hearts, it's fine for you to run rampant in the Yongwang Mansion, but you have caused the crown prince to be suspected by others. Your Highness has ordered you to be sent to the Yongwang Mansion to be punished. It’s fine if you catch him without a fight, if not, don’t blame us for being ruthless.” Poison Hand Xiexin smiled lightly and said: "That's fine, let me first learn about the cooperation of the three of you. I heard that the three compatriots with one mother share the same mind. The fight was in a hurry the day before yesterday, so I didn't have time to learn about it. I have time today, please." The three young men stepped forward, although they were stepping at the same time, the paces were slightly different. The young man wielding the sword took the lead, while the other two were half a step behind him. The three of them walked like this, the uneven but harmonious rhythm It made people feel depressed for no reason. After walking a few steps, the figures of the three of them flickered, and they had already surrounded the poisonous hand and evil heart. He got up seamlessly, Poisonous Hand and Xiexin had already learned how powerful they were, and he had already thought of a way to deal with these three people. Just when the formation of these three people was about to meet, his body had already rushed towards the whip wielder Young man, he knew that among the three, the boy who wields the whip is always very intelligent, and smart people are often timid. Sure enough, the young man couldn't help but took half a step back. Taking advantage of the opportunity to attack, but now the two of them are separated by a thin line. Just this thin line is the difference between life and death. Xie Xin was also having a hard time, his back was crossed by a knife and a sword, and the blood burst out, but the two did not chase, looking at the body of their own brother, they suddenly froze.At this time, the two women stopped the poisonous hands and evil hearts, but they were Huo Luocha and the seventh girl of Fengyimen. The two girls are all ruthless people, one of the two long swords is fierce and ruthless, and the other is gorgeous, but the murderous aura in the swordsmanship is only stronger, and the poisonous hand and evil heart are already sweating after only a few moves. Duanmuqiu drew his bow and set an arrow, and a silver light shot at Poisonous Hand Xiexin. Although he dodged sideways, Qiao Yaner took the opportunity to force him into more danger with a few sword strikes, and the seventh girl's sword skills became more and more brilliant. The more they fought, the more courageous they became. At this time, the remaining two of Zhongzhou Sanyi had rushed from behind, and the four of them surrounded Poison Hand Xiexin, and the situation became more and more difficult for Poison Hand Xiexin. Fairy Suya who was holding her sword silently, but the third girl of Fengyimen looked a little uneasy, she said loudly: "Seventh sister, be careful, this man is full of tricks, be careful of him." The four young men and women were vigilant at the same time, but they knew that Poison Hand Xiexin was not only strong in martial arts, but also very cunning, otherwise how could he escape here, but at this moment, Poison Hand Xiexin suddenly laughed and said: "It's late, haha." Feeling dizzy and dizzy, he fell limp to the ground. The third girl wondered when she was plotting, and suddenly felt the wind blowing from the river, and then looked at Kuzhuzi, she sighed: "It's unexpected that Kuzhuzi, who is well-known in the north and south of the Yangtze River, is actually a secret spy in Southern Chu." Kuzhuzi smiled slightly, put away a silver tube in his hand, stretched his arms, and stopped on the shore a few times, he smiled and said: "The 'Dark Fragrance Floating' of Tianji Pavilion is really a good thing, the mist is colorless and tasteless, and it can be absorbed by the wind. It diffuses in the middle, but the efficacy of the medicine does not diminish, it is a pity that this tube of incense can only be used once, and a thousand taels of gold is really too expensive." The poisonous hand smiled evilly and said: "If I hadn't begged His Royal Highness to buy a tube, would you still want to use it? You know that my brother Kuzhuzi is from a famous family in Southern Chu. Don't blame him for those who see profit and forget righteousness." After saying that, he walked up to the two brothers of Sanyi in Zhongzhou, picked up the long sword, gestured for it, and was about to stab it. At this time, a cold and feminine voice came from the wind and said: "If you kill them, it will be a pity that no one will watch the next good show." Poisonous Hand Xie Xin shuddered in his heart, looked up, and saw a young man in Tsing Yi standing not far away, but he was young and handsome, but with a bit of femininity, standing with his hands behind his back under the dim moonlight, his expression was as bright as ice and snow .
