The girl in the curtain hat ignored the young man in brocade clothes who was walking toward her. She looked over the young man's shoulder and looked at the tall old man who was following suit. She said with a gloomy expression: "Just now you wanted to kill someone because of your disagreement. Although you have your reasons, but I don't think this is right."
The boy in brocade stopped seven or eight steps away from the cold girl, and said with sincerity, "My name is Gao Zhen, and I am from Grandpa Wu of Yiyang County in the Sui Dynasty. If I have offended you, I am willing to apologize and make amends to the girl."
The tall old man stood behind the young man in brocade clothes with mixed emotions. The so-called descendants of the Gao family in Yiyang County of the Great Sui Dynasty are actually just an implicit statement. During the 1,200th year of the reign of Emperor Zuo of the Sui Dynasty, the people who sat on the Dragon Throne all had the surname Gao. Emperor Taizu was the Dragon Xing in Yiyang County.
The girl was indifferent to this, raised her hands to tie the bandage tightly, and said to the old man: "If I were to face a great master of martial arts who was very likely to have traveled far away in the wind, I would definitely No opponent. But at this moment, if I just use the flying sword, you will definitely die."
The tall old man sneered: "As long as the assassin knows your trump card in advance, with his peak-level little master's appearance. As long as the body is protected, what if you can pierce ten swords? He is like this, not to mention that I am two realms higher than him, and one of the thresholds is regarded as a natural chasm in martial arts. Little girl, I don’t know where you come from. Only with the confidence can I say the words 'Death is certain'."
The girl frowned and quietly held the handle of the knife with one hand, "I am very afraid of trouble, and I hate talking to you even more. People are quarreling, how about we try to see who wins and who is right?"
The old man who rarely has the opportunity to be threatened is a little annoyed. If we weren't in this weird place where gods and ghosts hated us, with the girl's cultivation level, no matter how talented she was, the old man could crush and kill ten of them with one hand. To say the least, if it were not for the heavy responsibility of taking care of His Highness, a young man who had high hopes from the whole country of the Sui Dynasty, even if the old man was seriously injured by the self-circulating avenue here, he would still have to teach the young girl who does not know the heights of the world a lesson. A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. , The courage is commendable, that’s all, but it doesn’t mean that the tiger will not eat the calf completely.
The young man in Jinyi who called himself Gao Zhen quickly smoothed things over and said, "If the girl must pursue the case, I am willing to take out this thing as compensation."
Gao Zhen lowered his head and opened the cloth around his waist. Bag, took out the square jade seal, held it with one hand, and handed it to the girl in the curtain hat in the distance, "To show my sincerity, I just ask the girl not to pursue the unintentional offense of Grandpa Wu. After all, he was out of loyalty and did not harm anyone." "
The tall old eunuch with white eyebrows suddenly became frightened, knelt down on one knee, and said in fear: "Your Highness, you are so dirty, but this Fang Yuxi is your Highness's chance. It is a rare pure treasure in the world, and it can even carry folk incense. How can the two be compared? Your Highness is going to force the old slave to death!"
The young man named Gao, who was born in a noble family in Tianhuang, looked stiff.
The girl seemed a little impatient and said with a sarcastic smile: "The frog in the well who lives in a corner, but everyone likes to cherish their brooms. Take that square jade seal back. I have always liked a saying that says a gentleman should not take what others like. "
The girl acted neatly and neatly, turned around and left.
The young man in brocade clothes was relieved, "Get up, Grandpa Wu, it's shameful to kneel down." I, the twelve Great Diao Temples of the Sui Dynasty, have always only knelt down to the emperor. If someone from the Liu Ke Yan Guan or the Ministry of Rites sees this and makes an argument, it will be unlucky for both of us. Okay, this trip to the small town has been successfully completed thanks to the protection of my ancestors. Let’s not create any complications and leave this place quickly. Moreover, after meeting with our own people outside, we must not take it lightly. You must know that the six people in the Great Li Dynasty In the Dazhu Kingdom, although the Yuan and Cao families are in opposing camps, it is unfortunate that these two pillars have a sworn feud with our Sui Dynasty Gao family. If something happens to you, Grandpa Wu, , the combat power was damaged, and it was difficult for me to return to the Sui Dynasty unharmed. "
The old man nodded and stood up slowly, "I know the seriousness and urgency of the matter. "
When the old man said the word "urgent", the girl in the curtain hat had already walked out more than twenty steps.
A breeze blew by the young man in brocade clothes, and the hair on his temples and The sleeves of his brocade robe were blown up.
It turned out that the old man next to him, who was very powerful in the Sui Dynasty, had no intention of letting go of the girl. At this time, he had already rushed away, taking the first three steps. The sound of stepping on the ground in the alley was dull and penetrated more than a foot into the ground. At the fourth step, the old man had already jumped up and punched the girl's waist.
He twisted his limbs suddenly, using the toes of his left foot as a support point, and drew the sword out of its sheath with his right hand. A flash of white light that was more dazzling than the sun appeared in the alley.
The tall old man rushed towards him with overwhelming force. A punch hit the blade of the knife, and the back of his hand was cut with only a bloody mark by the sharp edge. After the old eunuch's feet landed with a crash, he continued to rush forward, pushing the girl holding the knife backwards. The old eunuch then lightly stretched out his hand. He struck out a palm, seemingly slowly and calmly, but in reality he pushed it against the girl's forehead like lightning. Just as the old man was about to apply more force, he shattered the head hidden under the curtain with a palm. He quickly moved his steps, moved his body one foot laterally, and thumped. With a sound, he lowered his head and saw that the sharp weapon penetrated the right side of his chest from his back.
The old man's expression remained unchanged, he clamped the tip of the sword together with his fingers and pushed back.
The old eunuch was unable to smash the girl's head with one palm because of the obstruction of the flying sword. , the girl whose body flew backwards and fell into the alley, took this opportunity to breathe, stood up and became as strong as a civet cat, and quickly disappeared from an alley.
The young man's face was terrifyingly gloomy, and his eyes were dark. His fists were clenched, his momentum was rising, and he said with an angry look on his face: "The eunuch in the palm of the imperial horse supervisor's hand, Wu Yue and Wu Diao Temple! Why don't you listen to my hints and insist on acting so paranoid? Do you really think that you, Wu Diao Temple, are the most invincible in this town? It was obviously our mistake first, but she was not aggressive afterwards and was willing toLet's put things to rest, why are you still so vicious? It's simply too much! ”
The old eunuch looked away from the direction of the alley where the girl fled, turned around and walked back, his waist straight, looking more and more majestic. The old man walked back slowly step by step, as if he was stepping heavily on his heart.
The young man felt the suffocating power and was oppressed by a slave. He was filled with anger, his eyes widened, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Yu Ma Jian Wu Diao Si, you are committing a capital crime! "
The old eunuch said calmly: "Your Majesty, whether you are guilty of death or alive needs to be decided by your Majesty himself. From our family's point of view, His Highness's safety is the most important thing and is placed in the most important position. And the existence of the small town girl has become an urgent need for our family, so if we really want everything to go well, we can only treat her. Let's kill her. If she dies, our family can feel at ease. "
Seeing the barely suppressed anger in the young man's eyes, the old eunuch sighed and said softly: "In my more than sixty years of service in the palace, our family has seen too many things. There are countless intrigues, bloody and bloodless. Our family really has no confidence in the hearts of the people. Just for the assassinations on the way to escort, our family has personally solved no less than thirty cases, large and small. Your Highness, the insidiousness and cunningness of those assassins are absolutely beyond imagination, especially some of the crazed dead soldiers, which are completely unreasonable. Take the masked killer and the girl in the hood just now..."
Jinyi The young man stretched out his finger, pointed at the cold-faced old eunuch, and angrily accused: "Shut up! You old eunuch! I don't want to hear your nonsense! I am only sure that you ruined my careful efforts,
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Even a blind man knows how talented the girl who can control the flying sword is Extraordinary talent, amazing talent and beauty! Even among the practitioners on the mountain, she is still the most outstanding genius! Such a character, let alone Da Sui or Da Li, is a rare existence in the entire Dongbaopingzhou! I only need to train her for ten years, or at most twenty years, and she will become the most powerful assassin in the shadow behind me! Even if you are a land god or a martial arts master, what does it matter? ! The result? I am Gao Zhen, the future prince of the Sui Dynasty! You are the master of Old Eunuch Wu! "
It's strange that the old eunuch who has experienced many vicissitudes of life, instead of being annoyed by the "old eunuch", his eyes became more and more pleased. When the young man finished venting, he finally stopped cursing, and the old man looked at the panting The young man smiled and said: "Your Highness, although you may not have experienced some things personally, so you don't know the treacherous world and the sinister people's hearts, but there is something your Highness has done very well, which is very much like His Majesty's demeanor back then. ”
The atmosphere was awkward.
After Gao Zhen calmed down, he probably realized that he was completely wrong. Before he was appointed as the prince, he slapped the palm of a royal horse supervisor. The old man, the eunuch and one of the three gatekeepers of the Sui Dynasty Palace, was so disrespectful. Moreover, the most important thing was that this person also won the trust of his father, the emperor, his mother and the queen. So the prince Gao Zhen opened his mouth, but saw thatLooking at the powerful eunuch whom he called an old eunuch, he smiled and said: "Your Highness, remember one thing, don't say sorry to your servants casually. It's unnecessary. You've violated your status in vain, and your servants may not appreciate it. Even if you feel guilty, , should also be buried deeply in the heart. You need to know that the emperor and king, who is known as the true dragon in the world, is the Nine-Five Lord who speaks of the Constitution of Heaven..."
Gao Zhen said: "Grandpa Wu, with With my current status, it’s too early to say this.”
The old eunuch suddenly tensed up, as if facing a powerful enemy, and pulled the young man in brocade clothes behind him. The old man looked at the body of the masked killer. side.
A slender middle-aged Confucian scholar suddenly appeared at the end of the alley. He walked slowly in and came to the corpse of the killer. After squatting down, he took off his mask and saw only a strange picture. The face has no eyebrows, the nose has been shaved off, and there are words carved on the face.
There is no doubt that this man was once a prisoner in his lifetime.
The Confucian scholar was silent. Sure enough, he had already planned it. I am afraid that this plan will start from the Confucian Temple.
Gao Zhen's eyes were blazing. He walked out from behind the old eunuch, bent down and bowed. No matter what, he saluted first before speaking, and then he raised his head and asked respectfully: "May I ask if you are Mr. Qi from Shanya Academy?"
The Confucian scholar stood up and said to Gao Zhen: "If you hadn't taken the lead in seizing a great opportunity, the two of you would not have been able to leave so easily today."
The outsiders were talking to each other in the town. For fighting, according to the rules established by the first four saints, the punishment is not heavy, but it cannot be considered light. Compared with the indiscriminate killing of ordinary people in small towns who will inevitably be expelled, there is an obvious "loophole" in the fight between outsiders. People can make up for the situation. The reason why three groups of people, including Gao Zhen, all carry a "retinue" is because they have made the worst preparations so that they can be introduced as scapegoats at critical moments. Otherwise, it is just a quota. It would consume half of the inner savings of Emperor Gao of the Sui Dynasty. After all, it was the private money of a great emperor and emperor, and half of the family's wealth. It is conceivable that the amount was huge, so who would be willing to treat it like this for no reason? A victim?
In fact, to put it more simply, it is just spending money to eliminate disasters.
It’s just that the expenses here can be described as emptying out a mountain of gold and silver. The so-called lavish spending in the secular market is simply child’s play in comparison.
Gao Zhen, who was ordered to be expelled as a guest, continued to mind his own business and said: "Mr. Qi, if you have the opportunity in the future, can you come to our Sui Academy to give lectures? I, the Sui Dynasty, are willing to serve you specially as a general of the country. The master's position is waiting for you!"
The old eunuch thought for a while, but still did not stop the young man's arrogant remarks.
If he could really convince this scholar to make suggestions for the Gao family in the Sui Dynasty in the future, the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty would definitely be delighted with Long Yan.
The Confucian scholar smiled and did not reply.
The old eunuch was decisive and ruthless towards the girl in the curtain hat who met by chance. At this time, facing the Dinghai Shenzhen who was sitting here, Mr. Qi from the Cliff Academy showed another extreme attitude, bowing his head. He cupped his fists and said, "Mr. Qi, I'm so bothered.I also hope Haihan. It was really a helpless move to take action against a junior just now. I hope that Sir will understand our painstaking efforts as a slave of the Gao family. "
Qi Jingchun waved her sleeves and said, "Leave quickly. "
Gao Zhen and the old eunuch had no choice but to say goodbye and leave, just taking the retreat route of the girl in the curtain hat.
The young man asked in a low voice: "Is she dead? "
The old eunuch shook his head and said: "I must be dead soon. The flying sword only allowed her to live for a moment longer, which would not help the situation.
The young man hesitated for a moment and asked curiously: "When did Grandpa Wu realize that her flying sword control was not as easy and comfortable as it seemed on the surface?"
The old man said: "It's too much, her precocious wisdom missed the mark." "
The young man was surprised and confused.
The old eunuch led the young man out of the original alley and said softly: "We have a question for your highness. Your highness has seen too much wealth and luxury in the world. Are you still interested in ordinary porcelain from a small town?
The young man patted his waist pocket and said with a smile: "Of course not. Only this Fang Yuxi, or something similar to it, can make me happy." "
The old eunuch nodded and said: "This is exactly the reason. When that girl was killing people with her sword, her heart was as calm as water, and she was extremely calm and calm, just like... an ordinary person eating, drinking, and having sex. And after realizing my true martial arts cultivation, she decisively gave up the idea of fighting, especially because she was afraid that I would see through her fierceness and deliberately provoke us. Her true intention was to find a place for both parties to step down. She was afraid that our family had murderous intentions, and would rather kill her by mistake than release her by mistake, so she had to break the situation. Of course, it turned out that she didn't do a good job. But in the final analysis, it is not easy to have such thoughts at such a young age. But the more this happens, once the tiger is released and allowed to thrive, the greater the threat to His Highness will be in the future.
The old man said with emotion: "Young girls, when they are in high spirits, would not be surprised if they killed people with passion or died generously. However, after thinking about it slowly, we would not be surprised if we die calmly or live." It would be abnormal to not be able to afford the least bit of Xinghu Ripple's murder. It can even be said that this temperament can only be tempered by experience and has little to do with a person's talent or qualifications. Regardless of whether they are monks or warriors, many geniuses die young because their temperament shortcomings are too obvious, and they are prone to bad things when encountering difficulties. "
Gao Zhen lamented: "No matter what, it's a pity. ”
The old eunuch joked half-truthfully: “Your Highness, if the life and death of such a character requires a sigh, then Your Highness will be very busy when he actually stands on the top of the mountain.”
The young man smiled and said, "I don't believe it." "
The old eunuch suddenly said: "I don't know if it's an illusion, but our family feels that Mr. Qi, who is a man of extraordinary cultivation, seems to have a big problem.
The Sui prince said with an indifferent expression: "Anyway, as long as we can get this 'Longmen' seal, we will be done. How could we have thought of this?"The priceless seal has turned into a small addition to a big deal, so it's time for us to accept it as soon as possible. When I talk about that golden carp, I can't help but think of that boy with straw sandals..."
The old eunuch smiled and said: "Your Highness is thinking of finding an opportunity in the future to thank this boy? "
Young Master
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Nian shook his head and said: "No, I feel sorry for that bag of copper coins. ”
The old man laughed dumbly.
Maybe there will be a diligent and thrifty emperor in the Sui Dynasty in the future?

A north-south line The only sound in the secluded alley is the sound of wheels.
There is a young Taoist priest with a lotus crown on his head. He has stopped doing business early today and is pushing a cart, thinking about tidying up after returning to his residence. , hurry back home, whoever is involved in this mess will be ruined.
A slender man in black suddenly staggered out from the intersection of the east-west alley, and finally leaned against him. He leaned against the wall, moved slowly, reached over the veil with one hand, covered his mouth with one hand, and pointed at the young Taoist with one hand.
The young Taoist quickly lowered his head and said silently: "You can't see me... you can't see." I... Taishang Laojun is as anxious as the law... Forget it, the Buddha will bless you, and the Bodhisattva will appear..."
A Taoist priest, when faced with a crisis, does not seek help from the Sanqing Patriarch, but instead seeks help from the Buddha. Worshiping the Bodhisattva is really outrageous.
As expected, the Buddha and the Bodhisattva seemed unwilling to pay attention to the disciples of other sects. The girl in the curtain hat came out of nowhere with her last bit of strength and staggered towards the Taoist. , fell heavily with a thump, but in the end he held the Taoist's ankle with one hand.
The young Taoist held his head in his hands, with a miserable expression on his face, as if he was looking up to the sky: "With such a big cause and effect coming, doesn't it mean that Pindao has to carve the words 'Wants Death' on his forehead? Pindao has traveled all over the world these years, eating and sleeping in the open air, trekking through mountains and rivers, and often being bitten by dogs while walking on the street... It's very hard, okay! The great Sui Gao family who fucked your mother, and the old dog surnamed Wu, you are just waiting for me. This debt is not five hundred years old, so I can’t even calculate it... My Taoist cultivation is so shallow, it’s really a challenge. I can’t afford any heavy burden..."
The young Taoist who was already incoherent lowered his head, but he was almost not bursting into tears. "Little girl, please be compassionate and let me go. Look back. I will help you find a place with beautiful scenery and beautiful scenery. The feng shui is excellent and it will definitely bring blessings to your heirs... Oh no, the girl is still a yellow flower girl, so..."
The girl has completely fainted. .
Seeing no one around, the young Taoist crouched down and quietly opened the girl's fingers.
The flying sword hovered in the air. The tip of the sword was only three inches away from the young Taoist's eyebrows.
The young Taoist let go of his hand quietly, with a face full of pity and said righteously: "Human beings are not grass and trees, how can we not have compassion? Pindao's life has been full of glory, how can he see that kind of thing?A person who cannot be saved? ! "
The young Taoist sat cross-legged, his handsome face almost wrinkled, "Where to send him next, it will be troublesome. "
The flying sword that had been three inches away from the Taoist's eyebrows quickly moved forward one inch.
The Taoist patiently explained: "If you want your master to survive, I need to A helper, by the way, you go to the old locust tree and poke a locust leaf over there. Pindao will help her hold this breath of energy first. Your master is a bit special. Pindao doesn’t want to save people randomly just to save them. When the time comes I accidentally delayed her cultivation career, and this new cause and effect... made me want to die for a hundred times..."
Feijian seemed to be hesitating, and the tip of the sword trembled slightly.< /p>
The Taoist said angrily: "If you go earlier, your master will be able to come back from the gate of hell earlier. It's too late, everyone is finished together! "
Feijian disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The Taoist said angrily in a low voice: "Only when a man has a lover and a concubine, he becomes a husband and a beautiful wife. You, Mr. Qi Jingchun and Qi Da, would be better off, please be more chaotic. Yuanyangpu, you don’t wipe your butt when you poop!
The young Taoist held his chin in one hand and pinched his fingers with the other to tell fortunes, "Rong Pindao will tell you which house to send you to in the town. You can survive and the other person's family will not be ruined." Let’s start with the Lu family... If the Lu family can’t do it, it’s almost the same as the Zhao family. We already have the opportunity, so what about the Song family? ”
The Taoist priest in the alley here has not finished speaking.
In the Song family’s gate on Fulu Street, all the door gods posted on the big and small doors instantly lost their spirit and became dim. Light, and wisps of green smoke invisible to the naked eye rose.
Deep in the courtyard, a barefooted old man pushed the door open, stood in the yard, jumped on his feet and cursed angrily: "Who is it?" The bastard is plotting against my Song family's foundation? ! Stand up and fight! "
The young Taoist coughed and said to himself: "The Liu family on Fulu Street, looking at the prosperous incense, looks like a master who can handle things. Give it a try? ”
The Liu family’s family plaque, which has been passed down for thousands of years, shattered with a bang, and shocking cracks appeared.
An old woman with a deep voice struck the ground heavily with a dragon-headed cane. , "Who is this sacred person? Can you come out and see me?" ! "
The young Taoist pretended that nothing happened, "Then the Wei family on Taoye Lane? At first glance, your family seems to have accumulated good deeds and must be able to withstand this karma. "
Soon, an old man used secret techniques to transmit sounds and roared to the school: "Qi Jingchun! Don't you care? ! If you can't control it, or don't dare to control it, get out of here and give up your position to Ruan Qiong! Let him deal with this sneaky guy! Or is this all just you, Qi Jingchun, venting your personal grudges? ”
A man was leading people to dig a well by the creek south of the covered bridge in the town. He stood upright and moved his lips slightly to the north.
It was like a sound The sound of spring thunder rolled over Fulu Street and Taoye Lane, "That's enough!" No disrespect to Mr. Qi, and I, Ruan, will never get involved in small town affairs before the Spring Equinox.Service! ”
For a moment, the world was lonely and silent.
And the culprit sitting next to the cart in the alley was grabbing one of the hands of the girl in black, and then holding it The green locust leaf brought by the flying sword was dropped on her bloody palm.
After the locust leaf touched the wound on the girl's palm, it disappeared like ice and snow.
Young. The Taoist said with emotion: "Every time I see this scene, I feel that this is the creation of heaven and earth..."
After pondering for a long time, the Taoist could not think of words that he was satisfied with. < /p>
The young Taoist finally lowered his head and looked at the girl who was slightly radiant. He felt a little embarrassed and said, "Since the energy involved in you is greater than I imagined, I can only go against the grain. . In the small town, there are six hundred households, intertwined with each other, and they have been immersed in the atmosphere of this secret place for generations. You want to say that it is easy for a poor man to find a guy with the spirit to linger, but it is harder to find a pauper than to reach the sky. ah. It's like finding a high-ranking official in the court hall. It's easy. How can you find a beggar? "
The young Taoist exclaimed.
I really found such a poor guy.
He was not surprised at all, but horrified. He closed his eyes and asked himself.
The young Taoist sighed, "No matter what, let's see how you choose first. Pindao will never force you. If you don't want to, Pindao will shoulder the karma himself. "
Finally, he clasped his hands like a monk and said, "Buddha bless you and Bodhisattvas appear. We must let this poor man survive this calamity." ”
————
In Mud Bottle Alley.
The young Taoist bent down and pushed a two-wheeled cart to the outside of a courtyard. He stopped, knocked on the door, and asked: "Is Chen Ping'an there? ”
On the cart, in the corner and crevice, there is a long sword with a snow-white sheath, and the sword is flying in the sheath. It looks sickly, as if it dislikes the young Taoist for finding such a poor place to settle down.
