Chapter 23 Chapter Twenty-three

Hong Bo hurriedly asked: "Tell me in detail." Meiren was out of breath and said, "Grandpa Li is resting at the Bailu Palace in the Xiangguo Mansion. Yutangchun sent his maid Qiuxiang to treat him to a drink, and Grandpa Li went to the Yuhua Palace. Yutangchun put on a grand banquet, and invited Li Yuan country's famous actors and actresses danced and danced together. Yu Tangchun took advantage of Grandpa Li's drunkenness to seduce him; A few doormen died, and the doorman came to help the Queen Mother, but Grandpa Li took the Queen Mother seriously and knocked the Queen Mother down, so I went out of Yuhua Palace to find here to report the news."

When Yu Meiren heard this, she hurriedly led the palace guard Yu Hongbo to Yuhua Palace, and saw the guards of the Prime Minister's mansion confronting the doormen of Yuhua Palace, drawing their swords and crossbows, full of anger.But seeing Li Kui fighting more and more courageously, dozens of retainers were surrounding him, and Yu Tangchun and Empress Dowager Sima Guang were half lying on the ground moaning. Hong Bo shouted, "Stop Li Yasi!" Li Kui was playing lively, when he heard Hong Bo's call, he stopped his hand, Hong Bo pretended to shout: "Why are you so rude, knocking down the Queen Mother?"

Li Kui giggled and said, "What queen mother? You're just a male goblin, and I smell like old Li." Yu Mei said: "Li Kui led the troops of the prime minister's mansion back to the Bailu Palace quickly." Then he ordered the maids to help the Queen Mother.Seeing that there was a step to go down, Li Kui just slipped away, so he led the Xiangfu soldiers back triumphantly. In the prime minister's mansion, Hong Bo blamed Li Kui and said, "Won't you miss our reform by acting so rashly? It's not too late to kill them tomorrow morning. How can it be a small matter and miss a big one?"

Li Kui said: "She teased my old man, so I beat him naturally." Hong Bo said: "You should think twice before doing anything." Let's go. Li Kui was so happy that he leaned against the bed for a while and fell asleep. Li Kui slept until midnight and was awakened by the cold wind. When he opened his eyes, he suddenly saw a figure in the room disappearing in a flash. He was so puzzled that he snored forcefully and pretended to be asleep. The black shadow suddenly reappeared, one of them held a gleaming sharp knife in his hand, rushed to Li Kui's bed, and stabbed him. hold on.When the man saw the "plop", he knelt on the ground and shouted for mercy.Li Kui took a closer look and found that it was Qiu Ju, Yutangchun's confidant, so he shouted, "Who sent you here? How dare you do this assassination?"

Qiu Ju was terrified and said tremblingly, "Yutangchun sent me here. I didn't dare to come at first, but she threatened me that if she killed you, she could give me a vice minister." Li Kui picked up the knife and asked, "Where is Yutangchun now?" Na Qiuju said, "It's with the Empress Dowager of Wanhua Palace." Li Kui chopped Qiuju with a knife, and then went to the back room to wake up Mei Renlian. Li Kui asked him to notify the queen and Xiangguo, and ordered him to take the Xiangfu soldiers to meet him, and then ran towards the Wanhua Palace alone.

The Wanhua Palace is just behind the Xiangguo Mansion. When Li Kui arrived in front of the De Palace, he saw two female palace guards at the door who were dozing off with their swords.Li Kui killed the two of them one by one, and went straight to the deep palace.I saw two figures in the window of the west wing, and Li Kui stuck to the window.Looking inside, it turned out that Yutangchun and Empress Dowager Sima Guang were drinking. Sima Guang said: "This Chen Hongbo wants to reverse the country's reform in me. He is really obsessed. What happened to the former minister? Didn't the reform also fail? This Chen Hongbo also failed." Wouldn't it be a joke to want to be Wang Anshi? It's just that the nigger is really powerful."

Yutangchun said with a smile: "As the saying goes, 'It's easy to hide a sharp spear, but hard to defend against a hidden arrow'. No matter how powerful Li Kui is, he would never have thought of this move. Then Qiu Ju will naturally end his life. At that time, hey, hey... !" Sima Guang said: "If you don't do it, don't stop. I have sent my confidants to rape Anguo and invited my good friend Gao Lishi to go. I think he will lead his troops to arrive tonight." Yutangchun said: "That Gao Lishi is highly skilled in martial arts, if he comes to help, that would be great."

Sima Guang said: "Kill this Yu Meiren and Chen Hongbo together. After the matter is completed, I will help you to be the queen." Yutangchun raised his eyebrows and said happily, "Thank you for your kindness!" Here Li Kui heard that his heart was on fire, kicked the door, and broke in with a knife. When Sima Guang saw Li Kui's sudden appearance, he was frightened out of his wits and lay down on the bed, unable to move. Li Kui stepped forward and killed him with a knife.But that Yutangchun flew out. Mei Renlian had already led the palace guards to come, and when he saw Yutangchun fleeing, he quickly stopped the knife. Mei Renlian was a frail young man who had just learned martial arts from Li Kui. It was Yutangchun's opponent. With a flying fist, Yutangchun snatched the knife from one side, chopped Mei Renlian with one knife, and jumped up the room.

Seeing that Mei Renlian was killed, Li Kui was even more furious, and followed up with the house. Hearing Yu Tangchun's "Aiya", Li Kui also said "Aiya", and suddenly felt a pain in his right arm. But he saw a sword blocking it. Li Kui stared at it and saw a big man. The big man was as strong as an ox, majestic and majestic. Li Kui was furious, raised his sword to fight, and cursed loudly: "It doesn't matter if you are a high-powered man! Or a low-level man! First, give me a knife from my grandfather Li!" As he said, he slashed at the big man's chest.

Gao Lishi flashed his body, raised his sword and slashed at Li Kui.Li Kui cut off the side of his head with his sword. At this time, when Na Yutangchun saw Gao Lishi coming, he also picked up the knife and came to help.Li Kui fought for a while, and saw that the treacherous Anguo soldiers had surrounded the palace. Knowing that he could not win, he sold a flaw and opened a bloody road; he retreated to the north; Join forces and come to the palace. It turns out that Gao Lishi is an old friend of Sima Guang. He also met Yutangchun in Luohua Kingdom. He learned swordsmanship from Li Tieguai, one of the Eight Immortals, and later became an official in Jiang'an Kingdom.This time, Sima Guang invited three thousand treacherous Anguo soldiers to help the battle. He didn't expect Li Kui to chase and kill Yu Tangchun, so he drew his sword to help.

Besides, Chen Hongbo and Yu Meiren heard Mei Renlian's report, and hurriedly ordered the sergeants to come, but they encountered treacherous Anguo soldiers swarming over halfway. Yu Meiren knew that there was a change in the country, so she hurriedly dragged Hong Bo to the harem, picked up two palace clothes and put them on.Then he dragged him to a silver cabinet in his room, and opened the cabinet to reveal a hole in the ground. It turned out that this hole was dug by Yu Ji before, in case the country changed.Seeing that the torches were shining outside, Poppy quickly dragged Hongbo in, and Poppy closed the cabinet door again. Gao Lishi and Yutangchun led their troops to the palace and searched the palace, but there was no trace of the queen and Xiangguo. They only suspected that they had escaped after hearing the news, so they quickly sent troops to martial law, and ordered the guards to arrest Yumeiren's maidservant, confidantes, relatives and relatives. Hundreds of Xiangfu soldiers killed them all, and then made Yutangchun the queen, worshiped Gao Lishi as the prime minister, and the three thousand treacherous Anguo soldiers led by Gao Lishi stayed to guard. Yu Meiren and Hong Bo walked down the tunnel stairs to the bottom, only to see that the inside was pitch black, and they couldn't see their fingers.The two of them twisted and walked, and they didn't know how far they walked, when they saw a few rays of light in front of them.The poppies picked up a few times and poked their heads out. It turned out that the outside was the eastern suburbs of the Upside Down Country. Looking around the Upside Down Country, the sky was covered by fire, the flames were blazing, and tears were streaming down. Hong Bo missed Li Kui, so he didn't dare to go to the middle school. Seeing a ruined temple in the nearby forest, the poppy said to Hong Bo, "There is a ruined temple over there. Why don't you go there and rest for a while, and then make plans." When the two came to the temple, they saw the forest was withered and the scenery was bleak, but the temple gate was half closed. Poppy pushed the door open and went in, only to see a broken pot in the middle of the temple courtyard, with burnt logs piled beside it, and a pile of human bones scattered about. Hong Bo couldn't help shivering when he saw it. Seeing that there was another half-collapsed room in the temple, Yu Meiren walked in and saw an earthen kang inside, with a few dirty skirts worn by women pushing on the top of the kang, and a string of human heads hung upside down on the wall. There are more than twenty in total. Poppy came out and said to Hong Bo: "The bones of these people are not eaten by wild animals. It seems that wild people live here, and this is not a place to stay for a long time. Let's take a rest and leave." Hong Bo said, "Where are you going now?" Yu Mei said: "I went to Jiangdong country to borrow troops from my father Xiang Yu. Although he is not safe in Jiangdong now, he still has five thousand soldiers from Jiangdong's children. He borrowed troops to restore the country." Hong Bo said: "How far is this Jiangdong country from here?" Yu Mei said: "This Jiangdong country is in the south, more than two thousand miles away from here, and it is north of Luojia Mountain." Hong Bo said: "I only heard that Naluojia Mountain is beautiful, it is a land of mountains and rivers in heaven, wouldn't it be good for us to go there and have a look?" Yu Meiren flicked her hair and said, "That's the place where Monkey King and Nanhai Merciful Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva live. Ordinary people are not allowed to travel there. The two disciples of Avalokitesvara, Mu Zha and Hong Boy, are really It’s amazing, I can’t go there!” While talking, she suddenly heard a woman's laughter coming from the woods outside. Hearing this, Yu Meiren hurriedly drew out her sword and ran to the broken temple wall; Holding a knife, one of them carried a human corpse on his back. Yumei hurriedly pulled Hong Bo to hide in the house, and after a while the two ladies came to the courtyard with a smile, only to see the peach-faced lady said: "Sister, why is there a strange smell here, could it be that there are strangers here?" The plum-faced lady heard it, sniffed it, and shouted, "Why? It seems that there is still a man's smell, as if it is in the house." Hong Bo also poked his head to look outside, he was startled, it turned out that these two ladies are not others, the plum-faced girl is Ding Xiaoxia, and the peach-faced girl is Bai Taohua. Ding Xiaoxia and Bai Taohua walked into the house, Yu Meiren knew she couldn't hide, so she jumped out and said, "You two female fairies dare to eat human flesh in a sunny day? Eat me first!" Then she chopped the knife Come on, that Ding Xiaoxia is clever, and when he sees it, he quickly draws a knife to block it, and Bai Taohua also draws a knife to chop. The three of them were easy to kill in the courtyard, and the poppies fought against the two of them in the courtyard. After seven or eight rounds, the poppies knew that they were weak, so they made a fool of themselves, so they pulled out and headed northeast. It turned out that Yu Meiren intended to lure Ding Xiaoxia and Bai Taohua out, so that Hong Bo could escape, but they didn't think that the two would not chase after him. Although Hong Bo had learned some saber techniques from Li Kui, he was about half-baked, how could he use them well? He wanted to rush forward, but was pulled over by Ding Xiaoxia.Seeing that the white peach blossom was Chen Hongbo, she was surprised and delighted, and quickly stepped forward to tie him up, and the two hung Hongbo under the eaves. Holding a knife, Bai Taohua asked viciously: "You guys also have today. Last year you seduced Mu Guiying from the American country and harmed my whole family. Today is really revenge!" Ding Xiaoxia took out a plate from his bosom, waved his knife and said: "This idiot is really hateful, they killed so many lives of our brothers and sisters in Jiuxiang Country, now dig out his heart and liver, and avenge our brothers and sisters! " How did Bai Taohua and Ding Xiaoxia come here? It turned out that after the defeat of Jiuxiang Kingdom that day, Ding Xiaoxia fled in embarrassment and came to Liujiazhuang where Grandma Liu lived.It happened that Grandma Liu took Qiaojie out. Ding Xiaoxia had fled here to beg for a meal, and then on his way, unexpectedly, he met Bai Taohua and others drunk at Grandma Liu's house.Ding Xiaoxia didn't know the reality, he didn't dare to act rashly, he carried the white peach blossoms on his back and fled to the small road, the two only wanted revenge, they had no face to go back to the country of knight-errants and saw all the heroes, so they did some robbery on the road.Bai Taohua and Ding Xiaoxia got this addiction because they ate human flesh in the country of wine fragrance, and they like to eat human flesh.Today I came to "Qingxu Temple", which used to be the place where the inverted king Yuji was sacrificed.As soon as Concubine Yu died, no one from the Upside Down Kingdom came to this temple. Just as Bai Taohua was about to get the knife, Chen Hongbo fainted from fright, and suddenly heard someone shout: "Sister Shame, come out and give a gift to Grandpa!" Bai Taohua and Ding Xiaoxia were startled when they heard this, and put down the knife.
