Overwhelming mountains and rivers

"Young Lord."

Not long after Shen Qingjun sat in the courtyard, Chu Xuanzhao came over after taking the medicine.

"You came out?"

"Yeah. The medicine of Helian Valley Master is very good, and the pain has been reduced by half as soon as it is finished. It feels a little itchy, but it is not easy to scratch it. It is really thanks to you. If I ask him to ask for this I don’t know what kind of jaw-dropping price will be prescribed again!”

"That stinky fox just said that, don't take it seriously."

Shen Qingjun smiled lightly, he was also blackmailed by him back then, but later he still secretly threw the money back to Yuyuan, and he was very angry about it, and blamed himself for being too dull, even a joke Can't hear it.

Chu Xuanzhao found that every time Helian Xin was mentioned, Shen Qingjun couldn't help smiling.I thought it was nothing before, but now I feel a little dazzling for no reason.

He didn't want to continue this topic, and decided not to mention it in the future, but instead asked, "What should we do next? How to arrest those officials?"

"Catch? Although you have a lot of evidence about them, you don't have all of them. They have controlled the Shadow State for many years, and they will definitely not sit still. It is not easy to catch them, and it is very likely that they will bite back."

"I know what you said. But do we have to spend so much time?"

"Of course not. You won't be able to hide your fake death for a long time. Before they take any action, you must cut through the mess and take them down in one fell swoop. If you arrest them, they may fight back. Besides, you don't have any manpower. Even if you can get the people in the pavilion to help you, How will you explain to the emperor when you return to Beijing?"

"That's right, it's really difficult." Chu Xuanzhao nodded.

The corners of Shen Qingjun's lips twitched slightly, and he turned the jade flute in his hand casually, "Didn't the emperor let you do things cheaply? The so-called doing things cheaply means that you have full power to deal with the officials of Yingzhou without reporting to him. So, what I mean is, You don't need to be arrested, just kill the governor at night to frighten other officials."

"Just kill the governor at night?" Chu Xuanzhao couldn't help being slightly startled.

No matter how powerful you are, how powerful you are, since Qianjilou already has most of the evidence, there is no need to flirt with the officials of Yingzhou.

Chu Xuanzhao grew up in court, so he might not be able to jump out of this limitation of thinking for a while, but Shen Qingjun was born as a killer in the Jianghu, no matter how much he plots and schemes, he never forgets some things, he can do it directly.

"That's right. Capturing thieves first and capturing the king is not only applicable to the battlefield, but also in the officialdom. If you capture them one by one, not to mention the problem of manpower, it is very likely to give them a chance to fight back or escape. Just kill the governor and put his The head hangs at the city gate, and the other officials are terrified. At this time, you, the 'dead man', will appear and use the subdued assassin's soldiers to arrest other officials. But anyone who violates it will be killed on the spot."

"This, will this be too harsh?" Chu Xuanzhao hesitated.

"It's up to you. I'm just a suggestion." Shen Qingjun glanced at him with a calm expression, neither dissatisfaction nor approval, but it didn't matter.

Chu Xuanzhao's behavior is sometimes a little soft, and he cannot achieve the position of emperor like this.

Although he is willing to help Chu Xuanzhao and is moved by his promise and ambition, when it comes to the means of action, he actually admires people like Prince Teng Chu Xuanqing more.

Although Chu Xuanqing is selfish and dedicated to power and power, it is undeniable that he is decisive in dealing with affairs, ruthless in means, does not look forward and backward, and is more daring to make choices when encountering problems. These can actually be regarded as his advantages.

Chu Xuanzhao was silent for a while, of course he didn't want to feel sorry for those officials, but he suddenly couldn't adapt to such a direct and ruthless way of dealing with things.

But he also knows that this is the best way at present.

Kill one to warn the hundred, knock the mountain to shake the tiger.

Chu Xuanzhao finally let out a breath, turned his head to look at Shen Qingjun, with firm eyes, "Okay. Tonight, take the head of Governor Liu Mao."

"I've already had people closely watch their movements, and I can do it at any time." Shen Qingjun looked back at him, his expression still unchanged, he knew that he didn't need to say anything, Chu Xuanzhao would definitely think about it on his own.

Just like at the beginning, although he hesitated, he finally accepted the plan to kill Gyeonggi Wei. It's not that he couldn't bear it, but he needed to adapt to the method.

"Then I ordered the building to send their evidence. We can also search Liu Mao's governor's mansion after killing Liu Mao. There will definitely be new discoveries. After returning to Beijing, Father will definitely ask about these things."

Once Chu Xuanzhao made a decision, he would not be procrastinating, and it was precisely because Shen Qingjun admired him that he would directly state his plans as always.

"Qingjun, are we going to personally take Liu Mao's life tonight?" Chu Xuanzhao knew that he had sent someone to follow Liu Mao, but making him wait here without doing anything made him feel uncomfortable.

"Alright, you can do it yourself."

"I?"

"That's right, you." There was a little smile in Shen Qingjun's eyes.

Chu Xuanzhao saw the half-hearted interest in his expression, and felt happy. He didn't expect that a serious-looking person would also want to watch the fun. He was indeed a friend of Helen Xin. similarities.

"Okay. But my injuries are not fully healed, and there are many soldiers in the governor's office. You have to help me stop the others. Liu Mao's head, I will do it. The rest, I will rely on the master of the pavilion." Chu Xuan Zhao smiled brightly, no matter what the reason was, it was a 'lucky thing' if he was able to amuse him?

However, with the boss of a professional killer like him watching him kill, the pressure is not small.

"Well, I will help from the side." Shen Qingjun turned the jade flute in his hand, looked at Chu Xuanzhao who was still dressed in black at Chenyin Pavilion, "However, if your usual folding fan is destroyed, use It’s the arm knife used by the killer in this pavilion.”

"Come on."

"Pavilion Master." A man in black quickly knelt down in front of Shen Qingjun upon hearing the sound.

"Lend your sidearm to the prince for use."

"Yes. My lord, please."

Chu Xuanzhao took the arm knife in his hand and then took a closer look. He hadn't noticed it before, but now he realized that the half-foot-long rod-shaped blade is a stick-shaped weapon when it is not in use. After a little force, it will be pulled out. It comes from a cylindrical scabbard, with a straight, thin and sharp blade inside. There is a bloodletting groove on the blade, and the unplugged part can be directly connected to the other end to be used as an extended handle.

"This is the arm saber in your pavilion?" This is the length without pulling it out, and it can indeed be placed along the arm and placed on the side of the sleeve, no wonder it is called the arm saber.

"That's right, try your hand first. You're used to folding fans, I'm afraid it won't be a good habit for a while."

"This…"

"how?"

"Look at the style of this weapon, isn't it Qingjun's masterpiece?" This weapon is easy to carry, and it follows Shen Qingjun's principle of making the best use of everything. `The shadow of the hole flute.

Shen Qingjun smiled slowly, "You have good eyesight."

The killer in the pavilion was first trained by his father. He was used to using knives, but he was accustomed to using the modified swordsmanship. At that time, he had always wanted to improve the weapons in the pavilion. The straight blade, although straight like a sword, is indeed cut on one side, with the tip running obliquely, which is completely suitable for knife techniques.

Shen Qingjun asked Chu Xuanzhao to kill Liu Mao himself, not just to watch the fun, what he didn't tell Chu Xuanzhao was that killing people is addictive, especially killing people with blood, it is easy to arouse The killing intent in people's hearts.

Although Chu Xuanzhao had killed many people, he didn't kill blood purposefully like now.As the master of the Chenyin Pavilion, Shen Qingjun has seen too many cold and cruel people who acted softly but were washed away by blood.

In fact, what is easy to create this is not the killer, but the battlefield.

On the battlefield, there is no room for thinking too much. Blood flowing, severed skulls and broken limbs are the most likely to arouse the heart of killing.Soldiers are always wilder than civil servants, not because they are born so, but because of blood.

He knew that Chu Xuanzhao was only acting softly for the time being. He could see that Chu Xuanzhao's heart was not benevolent. His coldness was no less than his own. His nature was also indifferent, but it still needed a process.

And what he has to do is to dig out his essence invisibly.

Chu Xuanzhao glanced at Shen Qingjun who was contemplating with downcast eyes, and didn't bother him, but just looked at him quietly, feeling a sense of peace in his heart.

Qingjun, I know that you asked me to kill Liu Mao with your own hands to sharpen my inner ruthlessness. However, I am not as kind as you think. You only knew that I cleaned up the backyard vigorously and resolutely. Let me tell you It was because of investigating the cause of Mr. Li's death. In fact, what you don't know is that Mr. Li was crushed to death by my bare hands.

What kind of person I am, I have long known myself.

But since you have good intentions, it is inconvenient for me to explain some things clearly. I will naturally follow up with your arrangements one by one.I just hope that if one day, my nature is all tempered, you don't want to stay away from me because of this.

However, I don't think so, after all, so do you.

Shen Qingjun suddenly felt something touched his hair, raised his eyes, only to see that it was Chu Xuanzhao stretching out his hand, he couldn't help looking at him suspiciously.

"It's a dead leaf."

Chu Xuanzhao withdrew his hand, and only then did he see a dead leaf twisted in his hand.Shen Qingjun only felt a strange feeling in the ear he touched, and he turned his eyes to other places, not to look at the person opposite.

"It's not long before summer, and there are dead leaves. Could it be that the weather in Yingzhou is too hot?" Chu Xuanzhao rubbed his fingers secretly. The smooth touch of the fingertips was lingering. Let's talk about the topic, trying to ease the somewhat awkward atmosphere between the two.

"Chu Xuanzhao."

"Ok?"

"It's nothing."

"Oh."

This time Shen Qingjun also felt that the atmosphere between the two was a little weird, so he opened his mouth, but quickly lost the topic.

Shen Qingjun thought for a while, then spoke again, "Go and get familiar with the arm knife, be careful not to scratch the wound."

"Well, good. Now I'll go first, and I'll fight with you after taking the second medicine in the evening."

…………

"How about it?"

Chu Xuanzhao put away the arm saber, and looked at Shen Qingjun who was opposite.

"It's more than enough to kill Liu Mao. You have injuries on your body, so don't be too demanding. I will deal with the soldiers of the governor's mansion. You just need to kill Liu Mao."

"Well, we can still use Fubing to minimize their casualties. It is best to kill Liu Mao before causing their actions. Dealing with Fubing is just a precautionary plan."

"That's right. Quietly killing Liu Mao is the best result. Even if the government soldiers are alarmed, they must be controlled as soon as possible." Shen Qingjun agreed.

With his level in the pavilion, he could naturally kill Liu Mao quietly, but Chu Xuanzhao was injured after all, so he had to guard against it.

…………

That night, Liu Mao went to Xinna's concubine's room as usual. Liu Mao was over 50 years old, but Xinna's concubine Yuhong was only 20 years old. .

Since Yuhong came to the mansion, Liu Mao has been sleeping in her room almost every night, so tonight naturally it was a cloudy day, and he rested in her room.

Liu Mao soon fell into a deep sleep, but Yuhong opened her eyes, staring at the top of the bed in a daze for a while.

The window was opened suddenly, and a black figure quickly rolled over and entered from the window. Just as Yuhong was about to shout, someone covered her mouth and nose, "Don't shout, you are Yuhong?"

Yuhong nodded quickly, and the visitor showed a token in front of her eyes, and Yuhong's eyes suddenly widened.

"Stay still."

Yuhong nodded vigorously again.

Only then did Chu Xuanzhao let go of the hand covering her, and drew out the blade in his hand and swung it towards Liu Mao.

"what--"

Yuhong was spattered with blood all over her face, and finally couldn't help but yelled out. "Lord, sir, please forgive me! What he did has nothing to do with the slave family. The slave family agreed to marry him just to get information about him!"

"There's an assassin!" The sound of footsteps soon came to mind outside, but the soldiers were still startled by Yuhong's shout.

Chu Xuanzhao lifted his head from the ground, and glanced at Yuhong, "I heard about you from the building, as long as you answer my question well later, you will naturally not treat you badly."

Shen Qingjun came to the room before the government soldiers, he knew that Chu Xuanzhao had successfully killed the governor and did not stop him, almost as soon as he entered, the government soldiers rushed in and blocked the exit.

"Ah?! My lord! They killed Lord Inspector, catch them!"

Chu Xuanzhao waved his blood-drenched arm knife forward, "Slow! This king trusts Chu Xuanzhao to inspect Yingzhou on behalf of the emperor, doing things cheaply. The governor has exclusive power and has been beheaded. You will not kill if you disarm. No forgiveness!"
