Chapter 51 Chapter 21 Bloody Battle by the River

The Second Rebellion of Xiaoqiang Chapter 21 Bloody Battle by the River On March 19th, the first year of Tongtai in Southern Chu, Li Shun, Zhe Jin's servant, chased and killed the assassin for thousands of miles, and beheaded the assassin in Jiangdu. - "The History of Chu in the Southern Dynasties."The Legend of Jiang Suiyun" Poison Hand Xie Xin's expression changed, and he said coldly: "Li Shun, I also said that you are serving by the master's side, but I never thought you would have the guts to chase after him." Xiao Shunzi smiled slightly, and said: "Master Hei, although we have never faced each other, I know that you are by Prince De's side, and you also know that you are by my son's side. If you assassinate your son, you are my mortal enemy. I am not as good as you, and I will come to see you off, not to mention, I am afraid that you are not as good as me."

Poison Hand Xiexin shuddered, his name had not been used for many years, even Prince De didn't know it, unexpectedly Xiao Shunzi revealed it, but his expression did not reveal any traces, and he said lightly: "Li Shun, you are also considered to be from Nanchu." My subject, I have been at the king's side all year round, and I have received a lot of kindness. Why did you betray your family? Is wealth and wealth really so important to you? Even if you have a little wealth, it is not your turn. Wang Banjia, don't you know the principle of loyalty?" When he said this, even the people who fell on the ground looked at Xiao Shunzi with contempt.

Xiao Shunzi was neither humble nor overbearing, and said indifferently: "This slave comes from a lowly background, and he is a man who has been sentenced to death. To put it bluntly, in the palace, even cats and dogs are more noble than us. Master Hei, you are just a killer, no Do you also look down on me as a servant?" Speaking of this, Xiao Shunzi's expression became solemn, and his eyes shone even brighter. He said word by word: "There is only one person in this world who has never looked down on me. He regards me as a human being." , not a slave, the first time we met in the palace, the son is a new nobleman in Southern Chu, I am just a humble slave, but he values ​​me so much, we have been together for several years, if there is a little hypocrisy, I have already seen through it, but the son has always Ruyi, treat me like a father like a brother, teach me how to read and be polite, and treat me like a flesh and blood heart. In this life, only the son is worthy of my allegiance. Nanchu treats me with no kindness. Master Hei is responsible for righteousness, so I will ask a question , Young Master has no shame towards Nan Chu, but is Nan Chu worthy of Young Master?"

The poisonous hand and evil heart are silent, how could he not know Jiang Zhe's contribution, but in the end he was dismissed from office and went to assassinate him himself, no matter what, he couldn't justify it. Xiao Shunzi did not continue to press the question, but said coldly: "I know Hei Ye obeyed the prince's will, the so-called each is his master, the prince does not hate the prince for being ruthless, but he can't let you survive in Southern Chu, so I'm sorry , today I want you to kill Dayong." At this time, Qiao Yan'er, who was unable to move, said angrily, "What a big tone, I don't know how high the sky is and the earth is thick."

As soon as these words were uttered, even Poison Hand Xiexin looked at her strangely. The current situation is clearly that Xiao Shunzi is on the side of these young people. If Xiao Shunzi cannot win, everyone will be killed. Why did Qiao Yan'er talk like this instead?In fact, Qiao Yan'er felt that she had made a mistake as soon as she said that, but she was so strong by nature, and she was inexplicably tricked into it. Xiao Shunzi came out of nowhere and saved herself and others, but made her feel dissatisfied.Seeing that everyone's eyes fell on her, she couldn't help but angrily said: "Why, can't people talk about it?"

Everyone looked away, so as not to laugh out loud, but Xiao Shunzi's expression was still cold, and he didn't like Qiao Yan'er and the others, anyway, they were the young master's enemies anyway, so it would be good if they could all be killed If it wasn't for the fact that everyone would know about his appearance this time, so he couldn't add insult to injury, I'm afraid he would kill these people with his own hands. Looking at Kuzhuzi, Xiao Shunzi's eyes softened a little, and he said, "Bitzhuzi, you were supposed to be executed today, but my young master has something to ask someone to take back. Since your identity has been exposed, this matter I leave it to you."

Ku Zhuzi didn't laugh at him, he started looking for his flaws as soon as Xiao Shunzi appeared, but even though Xiao Shunzi was standing so simply, there was no flaw in his whole body. Looking at the sky, Xiao Shunzi sighed: "The fog lost the tower, the moon is misty, it is such a charming scenery, but it is a pity that you will never see it again, Mr. Hei." Xie Xin rushed forward, and the poisonous hand Xie Xin also knew that life and death were in this battle, so he stood up to meet him, his figure was like an eagle spreading its wings, when the two figures met, they could see the shadows of their palms intertwined, but there was no sound, it turned out that the two The palm techniques are extremely dexterous and cunning, more than a dozen moves attack each other, all of them must be saved when attacking the enemy, they can be turned at the touch of a touch, but they didn't actually meet, the two fought fiercely, rolling and rolling in the space of Zhang Xu , it was dazzling, although no sound could be heard, but the murderous aura overflowing from the place where the two fought was getting heavier and heavier. After about a hundred moves like this, the two people suddenly stopped, facing And standing, Xiao Shunzi looked indifferent, but his complexion was livid with poisonous hands and evil hearts. His corset was torn, revealing several wounds that resembled claw marks. The tension between them was like a bowstring being pulled tighter and tighter. Finally, the evil hands and evil hearts couldn't bear it anymore. With a stern cry, his complexion changed several times, and his seven orifices bleed suddenly, which was terrifying.

The third girl saw it from a distance, and exclaimed: "This is the third transformation of the Dafa of disintegrating the demon, and the power is increased to ten times. Be careful, Your Excellency." But Xiao Shunzi smiled coldly and said, "Although the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Dafa has greatly increased your skills, it will cause endless troubles. If you use it twice in less than two months, it seems that even if you return to Nanchu, your life will not be long." Poison Hand Xiexin said coldly: "Although your master is unparalleled in intelligence, but without your protection, he would be a goshawk with broken wings. Although he can't be killed this time, taking your life will also cut off his arm. It will be much easier to assassinate in the future."

Xiao Shunzi's face turned livid. Unexpectedly, the poisonous hand and evil heart still had the ghostly idea of ​​assassinating the son, and the murderous intent in his eyes became more intense. At this time, the poisonous hand and evil heart had already pounced on him. The situation was very different this time. Xiao Shunzi seemed to be so beaten that he had no way to fight back They could only rely on their strange body skills to protect themselves. After watching for a moment, everyone closed their eyes, because the changes in the figures of these two people made them feel dizzy.After a while, Xiao Shunzi suddenly took a deep breath of true energy, immediately his body was as light as a feather, followed by the wind of the poisonous hand and evil heart's palm, he retreated, suddenly rose, and then counterattacked, the poisonous hand and evil heart couldn't guard against it, and quickly slapped the palm twice He blocked him, but unexpectedly, Xiao Shunzi's figure turned out of nowhere and landed on his back, with a pale palm pressed against his back, the poisonous hand and evil heart could only feel a soft and cold true energy pouring into his body, He used all his internal strength to resist, but the true energy became blazing and poured into his meridians. The poisonous hand and evil heart couldn't help but let out a scream, and he staggered forward and fell to the ground. At this moment, suffering Bamboo came from the small boat with the wind, Xiao Shunzi had already exhausted his true strength, but he seemed to be aided by a god, and he turned to meet him strangely. Although Kuzhuzi was the best in water skills in the world, this palm technique The internal strength is still far behind, if he didn't want to use him this time to isolate the possibility of poisonous hand Xiexin's escape by water, he would not have the opportunity to be invited to participate in the siege of poisonous hand Xiexin.Xiao Shunzi had already repelled Kuzhuzi with just three moves and two moves. Kuzhuzi retreated to the river, but he was in a dilemma.

At this time, Poison Hand Xiexin had gained strength, he barely stood up, and said with a wry smile: "Grandpa Shun is indeed a master of martial arts, how lucky is Jiang Zhe to have such a master as his slave." Xiao Shunzi smiled lightly and said: "It should be said how lucky Li Shun is to be loved by the young master and to follow by his side. Now that your excellency is dying, I don't know if there is any last words to say." Poison Hand Xiexin naturally knew that his heart was broken, but he was just lingering on his last breath with his pure skills. He didn't have a trace of fear in his heart, and said with a smile: "I know what Eunuch Shun wants to ask, isn't it just who saved my life? Let me tell you bluntly, that person is Qin Qing, and he is the one who shot and killed Jiang Zhe."

Xiao Shunzi said coldly, "Don't you have anyone else to blame?" Du Shouxie's heart skipped a beat, but he still said, "I'm from Chu, why should I open my eyes for Dayong, so I'm telling the truth, it's Qin Qing." Xiao Shunzi said indifferently: "Punishment should have been used to force you to tell the truth, but your life is at stake now, that's all, you can go on with your life, I have met the prince under the nine springs, please send my son's greetings." A salute.Poison Hand Xiexin relaxed and fell to the ground. At this moment, Xiao Shunzi suddenly asked: "Pei Yun or Xiahou Yuanfeng, whose martial arts is higher?" Wake up, and changed his words: "Xiahou Yuanfeng has never fought, so I don't know how deep it is." Xiao Shunzi glanced at him indifferently, and said, "Ku Zhuzi, tell Mr. Rong and Mr. Lu on behalf of my young master. In the past, although the young master did not blame Nan Chu, he still felt guilty when he remembered the old relationship. Now, the young master escaped death and lived with Nan Chu." No matter how ruthless Chu is, from now on we will be strangers when we meet on the battlefield." After saying that, his figure flickered, and he was several feet away in an instant, before disappearing into the night. Kuzhuzi's expression relaxed, and he stepped forward to investigate. The poisonous hand and evil heart were dead, and there was no more breath, with a tired smile on his face, as if he had put down a heavy burden. He picked up the dead body of the poisonous hand and evil heart, and looked at the limp enemy on the ground. Knowing that if he killed them, he must have offended Li Shun greatly, so he sighed slightly, got into the boat to get oars, and floated away.His small boat had just hidden among the reed flowers on the opposite bank, and the third girl of the Fengyi Gate, who had the most powerful skills, was already able to move. She stood up and gave everyone the antidote of the secret fragrance from the gate. Although the medicine was not right, it was still It worked, and it didn't take long for everyone to get up. Seventh Girl exclaimed, "Third Sister, I never imagined that there is such a young master in the world, even the eldest sister and the ninth younger sister will not easily beat him." Although Duanmuqiu and the others looked ashamed, they all nodded in agreement. The third girl said with a compassionate look on her face: "You only know that he is strong in martial arts, but you don't know the price he paid. Listening to their conversation, this person was born as a eunuch, so there is only one martial art in the world that can make him so powerful , is the long-lost Sunflower Book, but I don’t know whether he self-mutilated his body to practice this kind of martial arts, or he practiced this kind of martial arts after becoming a eunuch. Alas, although this kind of martial arts is exquisite and profound, but after practicing it, his temperament It can't help but become vicious and cruel, if there are such people in Jianghu, I'm afraid it will be a big disaster in the end." Although Qiao Yan'er spoke harshly just now, she was grateful for Xiao Shunzi's life-saving grace after all, so she retorted: "Sister Ming is too worried, since this person came here to avenge his master, then he is the number one talented person in Southern Chu Jiang Zhe's servant, although my concubine has never met Mr. Jiang, but I also know that he is generous and talented, how can his servant endanger the world?" The third girl sighed and said: "That's it, the concubine is uneasy. Although this man is scary, he is just a warrior, and Jiang Zhe is a warrior of the country. The two complement each other. I am afraid that Dayong's government will be uneasy. This time, I must ask my master when I go back. I tell you that if things get out of hand in the future, I'm afraid only her old man can save the situation." After hearing this, everyone felt that it was reasonable, and Qun Lun, the leader of Fengyi Sect, really had profound insight. Everyone cherished each other and left without mentioning each other.Although this battle did not spread to the people, there are many people in the government and the public who know it. Poisonous hands and evil hearts are one of the few masters in Southern Chu. Shunzi defeated the enemy in one fell swoop, and immediately became a figure in the attention of all parties. If it weren't for his embarrassing background, he might have been qualified to challenge the throne of Dayong's number one young master.But at the moment he doesn't have this understanding, he thought to himself, Xiahou Yuanfeng is more suspicious, but I'm afraid the young master won't allow me to kill him, if I just take advantage of him like this, it won't make the world laugh.Why don't I kill him first, as long as no one sees him, who would know that I did it?Therefore, Xiao Shunzi didn't contact the people in Prince Yong's mansion, and rushed to Chang'an day and night, but after a few days, he had already returned to Chang'an. Xiahou Yuanfeng should have no errands, so he planned to go directly to the inner house to assassinate.Unexpectedly, as soon as he approached Xiahou's mansion, a figure stopped him. He was about to make a move when the man lifted his hat, revealing a slightly childish face. That man was Chi Ji, the leader of the eight horses in the secret camp, Xiao Shun When the son's face darkened, he would just ignore it. Chi Ji hurriedly said: "This subordinate is following the order of the young master, and is waiting for Master Li here. The young master said, Master Li, don't be reckless, go back and see him first." Xiao Shunzi's expression was cold and he didn't say a word, so Chi Ji could only continue, "Young Master said, if Master Li doesn't go back now, he won't go back in the future." Xiao Shunzi clenched his fists. Naturally, he knew that Jiang Zhe would never say that casually. It seemed that he really had to go back. He took a hard look in the direction of Xiahou Mansion, and he turned and left. Chi Ji quickly pulled down his hat, and his figure quickly disappeared into the night. Hurrying back to Prince Yong's Mansion, Xiao Shunzi didn't wash up, and rushed directly to Hanyuan. Seeing that the newly selected guards surrounded the place tightly, he felt a little relieved, and walked into Jiang Zhe's room, only to see him lying on the soft couch On the bed, with a leisurely demeanor, he was reciting the Book of Songs aloud there, while Rou Lan, who hadn't seen him for a long time, was leaning beside him, seeming fascinated by it. Xiao Shunzi felt relieved all of a sudden, that's all, even if he didn't kill Xiahou Yuanfeng now, wouldn't the young master make him feel better? He stepped forward and gave him a deep salute, and he said: "The slave is back, please forgive the young master, after the slave Don't even dare to do it." I put down the scroll, looked at the busy Xiao Shunzi, and said, "You've worked hard, sit down first, do you know why I knew you were going to Xiahou Yuanfeng's residence?" Xiao Shunzi said puzzledly: "The servant is also suspicious, why does the young master know my whereabouts? Even if those witnesses listen to my words, they may not have time to spread the word." I smiled bitterly and said: "Yesterday, Xiahou Yuanfeng came to visit in person and pleaded guilty to me, saying that he did go to Hanyuan that day, but it was not him who did the assassination, he just took away the evil hand and evil heart, because the one who shot me Jian's person has a noble status, he didn't dare to come forward to stop him, he just wanted to know some inside information with his poisonous hands and evil heart, but poisonous hand and evil heart refused to say anything, and took the opportunity to escape." Xiao Shunzi was stunned, and said after a while: "Then Li Hanyou is the only one left." I smiled lightly and said: "I originally suspected that the assassin's eyes were like spring water, and his hands were slender. I was afraid it was a woman. I didn't expect Xia Hou Yuanfeng to admit that he was there. There must be three people who came to assassinate that day. Coming here for Prince De’s death, the least thing to worry about is that Xiahou Yuanfeng is the closest to the crown prince, so the crown prince would not want to bother the Fengyi sect for this kind of matter. Fengyimen launched a murderous plan against me. Princess Qi hid her bow and arrows first, and Li Hanyou shot herself, so Xiahou Yuanfeng didn't make a move that day. I think, if Xiahou Yuanfeng was really the one who shoots arrows, I'm afraid he would have killed the poisonous hand Xiexin a long time ago. Silenced. It's just, why did Fengyimen want to kill me? Could it be that the incident revealed traces." Xiao Shunzi's expression changed several times, and he said, "My lord, the Fengyi Gate is after you, we have to be more careful now." I lightly shook my head and said: "It's okay, they failed to assassinate this time, if the master of Fengyi Sect is really as proud as the legend says, then they won't assassinate again, if they can't deal with me in other ways, their reputation will be damaged, After all, if I die now, I am afraid that everyone will know that Fengyimen did it. I think my safety can be safe for the time being, but I have to beware of their other methods. Now that I am seriously injured, I can avoid their swords Feng pointed out that your reputation is prominent, so you should be more careful." Xiao Shunzi nodded and said, "Young master is right, but slaves will be careful." I stretched my waist and said: "You are right, I am tired, you can send Roulan back." Xiao Shunzi hurriedly said, "My lord, I act recklessly, and you haven't punished me yet?" I lazily said: "Okay, I will punish you. By the way, I really want to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake, so I will punish you to buy a box of high-quality sweet-scented osmanthus cake, the kind I used to love." I was half asleep and half awake , completely unaware of what I was talking about. Xiao Shunzi was stunned, osmanthus cake, Nanchu Jianye's most famous snack, how can you eat it here, even if you go back to Jianye and buy it, it is not new. He walked out the door in a daze, at this moment Zhou Wu, the captain of the fifty guards, came over, seeing his strange expression, asked, "Master Li, what's the matter, but do you have any orders?" Xiao Shunzi said distressedly: "How can I buy osmanthus cake?" Zhou Wu was stunned, and murmured: "Osmanthus cake." But Xiao Shunzi had already walked away with Roulan in his arms.
