Chapter 89 Chapter 29: Messenger of Light and Darkness

Chapter 29, The Messenger of Light and Darkness, Part Three The footsteps stopped in front of the door, and after a while, a pleasant voice said: "Xiahou Yuanfeng, please see me." My heart was shocked, I glanced at Dong Que, a dagger was quietly landed on his right hand, and sighed in my heart, if Xiao Shunzi was there, Xiahou Yuanfeng could easily grab it, but if Dong Que, I'm afraid it won't work. According to Xiao Shunzi's estimate, Dong Que's martial arts is only second-rate. Although it is much stronger than before, if he uses weapons, I'm afraid it still won't work. Let him stay and protect me, except that other people are inappropriate , Another reason is that he is good at a lot of tricks. This is where I rely on him. Anyway, if it is a real fight, even Xiao Shunzi is useless.So I simply used Dong Que, but now I am in a dilemma.

I winked and said, "Lord Xiahou, please come in." The door opened, and Xia Hou Yuanfeng was dressed in a yellow bodyguard uniform. After walking in, he bowed and said, "Since the last time Master Meng spared his life, Xia Hou has been thinking about Your Excellency all the time." I said coldly: "Lord Xiahou is serious. Last time, Lord Meng told the real culprit who assassinated Zhe. It was his kindness. How could Jiang avenge his kindness? Now the Lord only controls Jiang's life and death, and he doesn't know the old things. What else is there to mention?"

Xiahou Yuanfeng showed a smile, and he looked more like a jade, he said: "Although Wei Ying and others are not bad in intelligence, but this kind of thing is inevitably lacking. If Xiahou presides over the search, we must send people to monitor for half a day. Hide in the dark, or come back here." Dong Que frowned, he also understood this truth, but time was running out, and he worried that pressing Jiang Zhe's acupuncture points for too long would be harmful. Seeing this, Xiahou Yuanfeng's expression became even softer, and his eyes fell on the silk handkerchief on the desk. He said indifferently: "Master Jiang, I don't know how to discuss this with the princess. In fact, although King Yong is temporarily out of danger, Wen Ziyan is going to Hunting, if there is no reinforcements, King Yong will be caught in a trap sooner or later, and the officials also want to know how Master Jiang will turn the tide so that he can live up to his status as the chief think tank of King Yong?"

My expression gradually calmed down. If the matter really came to an emergency, I would always be calmer. I picked a chair and sat down. I smiled and said, "Master Xiahou is the prince's confidant, why didn't you bring the guards and the imperial army to arrest Jiang? Catch it, it's a great achievement." Xiahou Yuanfeng laughed and said: "Now the crown prince relies on the Fengyi Gate, even if I make great achievements, it will be of no use. What's more, the evil shadow is still alive. If I dedicate you to the crown prince, I'm afraid it won't be long. will be sent away."

I wondered in my heart, this is not the reason for him to let me go, time is tight, and I don't want to tangle with him, so I said: "Although Xiao Shunzi is strong in martial arts, he is just a person. Master Xiahou will be a high-ranking official in the future. Are you still afraid of what he will do? But I don’t know what Master Xiahou wants Jiang to do for you?” A gleam of joy flashed across Xiahou Yuanfeng's brows, and he said: "My request is very simple, if Master Jiang is willing to cut off love and give Xie Ying to me as a slave, Xiahou must have risked his life today to save him."

I just felt a bang in my head, and I almost lost my mind. Fortunately, Dong Que pushed me in time, and I held back my anger and said: "Although Xiao Shunzi and I are named master and servant, we are like brothers and sisters, Lord Xiahou This request is too much." Xiahou Yuanfeng smiled slightly and said: "Xieying treats Mr. Jiang like a father and brother, and is loyal. Xiahou is very envious. If Mr. Jiang is under my command, Xieying will also obey me." I said coldly: "Lord Xiahou, you are so proud, but you shouldn't have come here by yourself." Xiahou Yuanfeng glanced at Dong Que, shook his head and said: "He is not my opponent. If I didn't know that Li Shun escaped with King Yong, I wouldn't dare to catch you alone. Don't worry, Mr. Jiang, I will never take you out." You hand it over to the Crown Prince and Fengyimen, Master Jiang is extremely intelligent, and Marquis Xia also wants to listen respectfully."

At this moment, Dong Que made a sudden move, and a ray of cold light stabbed towards Xiahou Yuanfeng, but Xiahou Yuanfeng greeted him calmly with his sword.The two fought together, their figures intertwined in the bedroom, the sword light was like a meteor lightning, both of them did not want to disturb others, so they were very restrained, not long after, Dong Que was gradually lost, his strength was not in martial arts In fact, there is no chance of winning against someone like Shang Xiahou whose martial arts are much higher than his. After a few more strokes, Xiahou Yuanfeng had already pierced Dong Que's thigh with a sword. The moment Dong Que fell to the ground, at this moment, Xiahou Yuanfeng saw a dagger in Jiang Zhe's hand from the corner of his eye. , was stabbing at the heart, and in a panic, he flew towards Jiang Zhe. For him, Jiang Zhe couldn't die.At this critical moment, he suddenly saw a cluster of cold light shoot out from Jiang Zhe's waist. Xiahou Yuanfeng was startled, and was about to avoid it, but he was in mid-air, unable to avoid it, and the cluster of cold light not only It was faster than Liu Guang, and the angle was very tricky. Although Xia Hou Yuanfeng tried his best to avoid it, a small half of it still hit his body.Xiahou Yuanfeng subconsciously struck out a palm, and Jiang Zhe fell backwards.But Xiahou Yuanfeng felt sore and weak all over, and fell to the ground involuntarily.At this moment, Dong Que rushed over in panic, leaning over to see Jiang Zhe's situation.

I woke up leisurely, saw Dong Que's frightened expression, and whispered: "I have nothing to do, has anyone caught me?" Dong Que laughed and said, "My lord's hidden weapon is really powerful. After Xiahou Yuanfeng hit it, he couldn't move immediately." Only then did I breathe a sigh of relief, just now I have been thinking about how to get out of the predicament, because I understand that Dong Que is not Xiahou Yuanfeng's opponent, the only opportunity I can take advantage of is Xiahou Yuanfeng coming alone, I am not a fool, Xiao Shunzi His martial arts and intelligence are rare in the world. Such a talent is inferior to me. I don’t know how many people are against him, and I don’t know how many people want to recruit him. It’s just to hinder King Yong. Xiahou Yuanfeng’s ambition is not small , actually wanted to get his idea, but it was also because of this reason that he couldn't hand me over to Fengyimen. Since he came alone, as long as he was restrained, I would be safe, but this is also The most difficult thing, how can I, a frail scholar with no strength to restrain a chicken, restrain a top expert?

Fortunately, I finally thought of a way. Since he wanted something, he couldn't let me kill myself. So when Dong Que was defeated, I raised my sword and killed myself. From his point of view, this is in line with me, the chief of King Yong. As a counselor, I would rather die than be humiliated, so he flew to rescue me, even if he used other methods to knock down my dagger, he would definitely rush over to restrain me, and I took this opportunity to hide my sword in the jade belt around my waist. The poisonous needles were shot out, those poisonous needles were originally quenched with blood-sealed throat poison, but a few days ago, I replaced it with a freshly prepared anesthetic, which can make people go limp between breaths, but The statute of limitations is short.Of course, I still encountered the danger I imagined. Xiahou Yuanfeng hit me with a counterattack. Fortunately, he had almost lost all his strength at that time, so I saved my life.

Standing up, I looked at Xiahou Yuanfeng who had a somewhat ferocious expression. I was still a little worried. My beloved hairpin made of black iron essence had already been given to Xiao Shunzi. He usually didn’t use weapons, but for his It's safe, when I broke out last night, I gave him the hairpin, which is the most powerful weapon for him.So I took off the current three-point gold and seven-point fine iron hairpin, and the sharp hairpin pierced several hidden holes in Xiahou Yuanfeng. Now I can ensure that he can't fight back. Now I am the one who controls the situation up. After a while, Xiahou Yuanfeng began to be able to move, but he could feel that all the strength in his body was lost. He smiled wryly and said, "Unexpectedly, Mr. Jiang has such a method."

I said humbly: "This is really a villain's trick that can only be achieved by surprise." Xiahou Yuanfeng looked calm, as if I was the one who became a prisoner now, he said with a smile: "I don't know how Mr. Jiang will deal with me. If the official suddenly disappears, I'm afraid some people won't let it go." I glanced at him lightly, and said: "Don't worry, I'll kill you and hide you in a secret compartment, so you don't have to worry about someone finding your body, maybe they will think you ran away privately? Some people will be terrified if King Yong leaves." Hearing what I said, Dong Que immediately went to open the secret compartment on the bed.I said: "Dong Que, don't see the blood, lest the smell of blood is too strong and attract others' attention." Dong Que smiled and said, "I obey." After finishing speaking, he pointed slowly at Xiahou Yuanfeng's Achilles' heel. Xiahou Yuanfeng clearly knew that these two people were trying to scare him, otherwise why would Jiang Zhe just restrain his own martial arts, but fear still arose in his heart.At this time Jiang Zhe said again: "I have never killed anyone with my own hands, so you should do it." Now, Xiahou Yuanfeng couldn't help it, he knew that most of these counselors were pursued by gentlemen far away from the kitchen. Or, if he really died like this, it would be too worthless. With cold sweat dripping down his face, he exclaimed: "Lord Jiang, spare your life, I am willing to surrender." But Jiang Zhe didn't make a sound, just smiled lightly, Dong Que's fingers were getting closer and closer, and finally pointed at Xiahou Yuanfeng's death spot. Xiahou Yuanfeng felt his heart was terrified, and was about to yell, but Dong Que covered his mouth with his hand. Feng only felt dizzy for a while, and then he woke up for a while, but it turned out that Dong Que only used two points of force on his fingers, so he didn't kill Xiahou Yuanfeng, but Xiahou Yuanfeng's face turned pale with fright, he had never been so close died. I sat down and looked at Xiahou Yuanfeng who returned to normal in an instant. I couldn't help but admire him. This man is a talent, with a deep mind, adaptable to changing situations, and flexible. Unfortunately, he is a member of the prince's party. I look at him with regret. It's not me now. When showing mercy, if there was even the slightest mistake, then King Yong would be doomed forever. Seeing Jiang Zhe's indifferent eyes with pity, Xiahou Yuanfeng felt a chill in his heart. Although he was scared to death just now, he could feel that Jiang Zhe was just venting his anger. But now, with that look, it seemed that he He must die, and hurriedly shouted: "Master Jiang, just don't want to reveal the assassin's good intentions to you next day, but please remember Yuan Feng's loyalty to the princess." I wish Ben was about to issue a killing order. Hearing what he said, I couldn't help being taken aback. Xiahou Yuanfeng quickly said: "It was the lower official who reported to the princess that the Fengyi sect intended to plot against the princess. The princess said that day In danger in the palace, although it was not the lower officials who came to the rescue, but if the princess hadn't prepared in advance, how could she be so lucky." Hearing this, my heart softened. The princess did inform me of Fengyimen's plan through Princess Yong that day, but His Royal Highness Yong and I thought that Fengyimen would use coercion and lure, but I didn't expect them to use such methods. Despicable means, if Xiao Shunzi and I hadn’t arranged people in advance, the princess might inevitably fall into the trap, but I still have to thank Xiahou Yuanfeng for his kindness. Looking at Xiahou Yuanfeng again, I sighed: "Master Xiahou, you It is true that you have contributed to the princess, but you also know the current situation, what can you use to convince me that it is worthwhile to let you go." Xiahou Yuanfeng used his brain to think of a way to survive. Not long after, his eyes fell on the desk. Fang Lingpao's eyes lit up, and he said: "No one can send these things to you more conveniently except me. Go out, it is the emperor's secret decree, I think Her Royal Highness Lan Xinhui will never do useless things." I said lightly: "You are very smart, but this matter does not have to be yours." Xiahou Yuanfeng smiled and said: "Although the emperor's will and the military talisman of General Qin have been obtained, if you want to mobilize the army, someone must deliver the order. I don't know who is His Royal Highness King Yong's spy beside the prince, but the prince will only It is inconvenient for Fengyimen to let the confidants pass the decree. Now the crown prince does not have many confidants, and Lu Shaofu is the most among them. I am Lu Shaofu's nephew. Besides me, who else is more suitable for this task? item of work. I frowned when I heard that, yes, although Zhang Jinxiong can ask to go, but he is not as righteous as Xiahou Yuanfeng, but can I trust him?Looking at Xiahou Yuanfeng with suspicious eyes, at this time, there were a few birdsong outside, Dong Que's expression changed, he looked at me and said, "Master?" I knew in my heart that Zhang Jinxiong had arrived, so I nodded slightly to signal. Dong Que went out, and under the moonlight, a man with a bold appearance was standing there. Seeing Dong Que, his expression widened, and he said in a low voice: "I only have a moment, and His Royal Highness just discussed with Lu Shaofu to send Master Xiahou went to deliver the decree, and Zhang accompanied him to protect him, so I came here on the pretext of looking for Lord Xiahou." Dong Que's heart moved, and he said in a low voice: "Mr. Zhang, please wait a moment. Now Xiahou Yuanfeng has been controlled by my son. My lord, please come to the side hall to talk." Zhang Jinxiong was taken aback for a moment. He knew Xiahou Yuanfeng's martial arts. If the two fought, even if he would not lose, it would be very difficult for him to win. Unexpectedly, Xiahou Yuanfeng was restrained, and he couldn't help but look at that Jiang Zhejiang Suiyun is more desirable. The two entered the side hall, Dong Que walked back to the princess bedroom, and whispered a few words in Jiang Zhe's ear. After I heard it, I was very surprised. I didn’t know if it was God’s favor. After thinking about it, I took out a few pills from the hidden compartment in the jade belt around my waist, looked at them for a long time, and chose one of them. Xiahou Yuanfeng said: "If you take this pill, I will believe that you have sincerely turned your back on the dark. You should know that I am the successor of a medical sage. It's not that there is no antidote for this poison, but it doesn't take ten and a half months. The antidote is not suitable." Okay, if you want glory and wealth, the crown prince can give it to you, and King Yong can give it to you, but if you want your life, then there is only one way to go." Xiahou Yuanfeng hesitated for a moment, but he was a decisive person, not to mention that if he didn't take this poison, it would be impossible to get out of Hanxiang Garden, so he immediately took the pill and took it.Seeing that he was convinced, I said again: "One more thing, since you and Fengyimen work together as the crown prince, then you can recognize Liang Wan." Xia Hou Yuanfeng was taken aback, and said: "The lower official recognizes, but it is said that Miss Liang has Destroyed and deprived of sanity, although the Fengyi sect keeps secrets, but I heard from Lu Shaofu." I smiled lightly and said, "I'm the one who poisoned Liang Wan with drugs that day." Xiahou Yuanfeng's eyes widened, he looked at me in disbelief and said, "Impossible, did you already take refuge in King Yong at that time?" I was stunned and immediately understood what he meant, so I smiled and said: "This matter has nothing to do with His Highness Prince Yong, Liang Wan is my wife-killing enemy, and I only deal with her for revenge." Xiahou Yuanfeng felt a chill in his heart, and looked at Jiang Zhe. At this moment, he really believed that Jiang Zhe could kill himself with just a few gestures, but instead he calmed down and said, "I don't know what else I can do for you. .” But I became a little puzzled, and said: "Why does Master Xiahou say that, it seems that he is more concerned about this matter than Jiang." Xiahou Yuanfeng smiled and said: "Now that I am under the control of my lord, I am now on His Royal Highness King Yong's boat. In this case, I naturally hope that the boat will be as stable as possible. There is no chance to be promoted to a noble in the future." I smiled reassuringly, if Xiahou Yuanfeng wanted to be promoted to a noble, I would feel relieved.I waved Dong Que to take the silk handkerchief, and solemnly handed it to Xiahou Yuanfeng. Xiahou Yuanfeng also took it with a solemn expression. I bowed deeply and said, "This is the secret decree of the Holy One. You must hand it over to General Qin Yong." Let General Qin Yong come to rescue King Qin." Xiahou Yuanfeng saluted and said: "Don't worry, my lord, Xiahou will definitely live up to his trust, His Highness King Yong, please give me some good words." After Dong Que sent Xiahou Yuanfeng away, he came back and said, "My lord, he really left." I said to Dong Que: "Go and ask Director Zhang to come here." Looking at Zhang Jinxiong's back, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. If Xiahou Yuanfeng won't betray, then it will be safer. If Xiahou Yuanfeng doesn't agree with his heart, then he will definitely not think that I have other messengers, so that I can Don't worry about Zhang Jinxiong's safety. After all, Zhang Jinxiong is more trustworthy. Whether it's his character or his sect, the Kongtong sect has also separated from the Fengyi sect. Shaolin contacted and expressed the intention of cooperation.Even if Xiahou Yuanfeng brings people to arrest me right away, I don't have to worry about it. As long as Qin Yong can be summoned, my safety doesn't matter, and I believe that the jade pendant of General Qin can make Qin Yong feel better than the emperor's secret decree. Believe it, what's more, I have prepared in advance.Feeling that all the energy in my body has been dissipated, I lay down on the bed and thought, what else can I do next?Anyway, I'd better stay here, so that Xiahou Yuanfeng will think that I trust him, and won't suspect that there are other messengers.
