Sealing Sword

After Chu Xiwei ran into these five people in the cave, she followed them all the time.

The fat man in the lead called "Boss He" looked bloated, but in fact his steps were light and alert. He should be the one with the best skills among the five.Chu Xiwei was injured, so she couldn't chase too closely, so she had no choice but to follow at a distance. When they entered Mount Anxi last night, the five people were divided into two, and Boss He went with the tall and strong man. The only way out of the mountain, Zhang Ze and the three arrived here.

Chu Xiwei originally planned to "capture the thief first and capture the king first", but he saw that Boss He gave Zhang Ze a pack of fire thunders with great care, and turned to this side after hesitation.Fortunately, he chose this way, so that after Zhang Ze hid the fire and thunder, he took advantage of the gap and tore off the lead wires connecting each other, and even poured the gunpowder with water, and then nestled nearby and watched the changes.

Sure enough, the hunter who waited and waited finally found his prey, but he didn't know that the trap had been destroyed.

"You don't seem to be worried at all?" Hearing Ye Fusheng's greeting, Chu Xi curled her lips slightly, "If I hadn't come, these fires and thunders would be enough to blow you up to the sky."

Ye Fusheng touched his nose, and said: "Since you said you would come, of course I believe you."

Qin Lanshang on the side rolled his eyes, Chu Xiwei was noncommittal, he lifted his hem and sat on the bench, raised his hand and gnawed on a steamed bun made of miscellaneous grain noodles, which would paralyze Ye Fusheng and others for a while. He ate it as if he had nothing to do, although he didn't gobble it up, the speed was extremely fast.

It seems that he has been very hungry in the past two days, Ye Fusheng thought of the little meatball who was greedy and afraid of getting tired back then, and seeing his current appearance, he felt sorry for him for no reason.It's just that it's not the time to gossip now, he pressed those fine thorns in his heart into his flesh and blood, turned his head to look at Zhang Ze who was prostrate on the ground, only to see that the old man had no breath at some point, and his eyes were still open. Staring at Ruan Feiyu, it was just hollow and lacklustre.

"He finally said, God is not fair..." Ruan Feiyu let go of the hand that was still holding his ankle, bent down to close Zhang Ze's eyes, looked up at Ye Fusheng, and smiled, "I think so too. "

Xiu'er sat slumped on the ground, stunned for a long time, and finally came to her senses at this moment, she didn't know where the strength came from, she pushed Ruan Feiyu away, fell on Zhang Ze's still warm body and cried loudly.

Lu Mingyuan didn't say a word, Qin Lanshang's eyes were hot, she looked at Zhang Ze's body and Xiu'er who was crying, and suddenly scolded Ruan Feiyu: "Old man who should kill a thousand swords! Bah!"

She was young, and the person she scolded was the old and famous Nan Confucianism, so she was extremely impolite.Chu Xiwei frowned, thinking about the disaster caused by this girl's escape, her already unstable internal energy became agitated again, her chest suddenly became angry, and she opened her mouth to punish her, but Ye Fusheng had quick eyesight and quick hands, seeing him With a look of displeasure, he approached the small silver pot and poured it into his mouth.

Chu Xiwei was about to let Qin Lanshang know how many eyes Prince Ma had, but he was almost breathless after being swallowed by this horrific mouthful of wine, and immediately covered his mouth and coughed continuously.

"You...cough cough!"

He was so choked that he couldn't say a whole sentence, and the corners of his eyes were red, but the anger in his chest was like a sudden downpour, which immediately cooled his heart, and the restless inner breath gradually calmed down, Chu Xiwei Thinking of the scene of drinking Canglu for the first time that night, I was a little surprised: "What?"

Ye Fusheng saw that his drinking was indeed effective, he was relieved, shook the empty small silver jug, and explained: "The wine made from the red snow lotus."

Chu Xiwei: "..."

Qin Lanshang stiffened her neck but didn't wait to reprimand her, her eyes nearly popped out of her sockets in shock.Ye Fusheng comforted Chu Xiwei, and when he turned around and saw this hopeless look, he, who had always boasted of being in his prime, couldn't help but feel the vicissitudes of being an elder, and slapped her on the forehead lightly. After a while, he bent down and handed Xiu'er a handkerchief, on which were flamboyantly embroidered two phoenix-tailed butterflies.

He said: "Daughter's family looks good crying, but your tears are a crime caused by us, it's not worth hurting yourself."

Qin Lanshang was amazed by this easy-to-handle flirting method. Lu Mingyuan, a dull scholar who has read sage books, had already silently said "do not look at evil" and turned his head. The young maids who were laughing and snickering immediately felt a little unhappy, but he was used to being bored all these years, so he didn't show it, he just picked up another steamed bun and gnawed it tastelessly, his cheeks moved, as if he was chew someone's flesh.

Xiu'er was coaxed by him softly, but she cried louder. She pushed Ye Fusheng's hand away angrily, and cried: "They are all thieves, so you don't need to pretend to be kind!"

"Girl like a flower, don't speak so recklessly." Ye Fusheng stuffed the handkerchief into her palm, his tone was still very gentle, "It's not necessarily a good person who kills a bad person, and of course a bad person doesn't necessarily kill a good person."

Xiu'er was taken aback, clutching the handkerchief and almost crumpling it, said: "You are sophistry!"

"Why are you talking nonsense with her?" Chu Xi sneered slightly, "These bastards who claim to be suffering and righteous, as long as they think whoever is a villain or a thief, they can take their lives at will. 'God has no eyes', the meaning of God's left and right is what they say, and I don't know where such a big face comes from."

"you!"

Xiu'er was so angry that her eyes were red, she wished she could rush up, take off her cloth shoes and give him a good beating, but in the end she didn't do the stupid thing of hitting a stone with a pebble, she closed her eyes, gritted her teeth and said, "You guys kill me!"

Ye Fusheng wondered: "Why did you kill you?"

Xiu'er was stunned for a moment, then smiled miserably: "You and I have done such a thing, is it possible that old thief Ruan will let me go?"

"Are you Xu Congxia's descendant?" Ruan Feiyu glanced at her, then shook his head suddenly, "You don't look much like your grandfather, only your eyes are similar, and you cry a lot."

Ye Fusheng asked: "Sir, do you still remember?"

"In this life, the censor pulled his sleeves and cried and scolded him in the court hall, not many times." Ruan Feiyu smiled lightly, "I still remember that when Xu Congxia was dragged out of the palace by the guards, he bit his finger and fell on the ground. I wrote 34 characters of 'treacherous' all the way, but unfortunately I only wrote half of the last one, and I was beaten to death outside the gate by random sticks."

When he talked about these bloody past events like gossip, it made people chill, Xiu'er's body trembled, and the anger in her eyes became more intense, but she couldn't help being tainted with fear, she flinched a few times, not daring to move anymore.

This Nanru, who looks like a good gentleman, is actually a person who can make children stop crying.

Chu Xiwei ate the last mouthful of steamed buns slowly, and said, "There are five of them in total, and two more are waiting in front. One is tall and the other is fat. They are all good players."

After Xiu'er heard him finished speaking, her face was pale, Ye Fusheng raised her eyebrows, and asked, "What are the chances of winning?"

"If it's just for killing, I'm enough alone." Chu Xiwei tapped her fingers on the table, "It's just that I'm carrying this gang of burdens, so I can't avoid looking forward and backward, not to mention that the leader is also carrying a fire mine, so I have to guard against it."

Ye Fusheng frowned: "Speaking of which, the Beiman War has just passed, why hasn't the court controlled gunpowder yet?"

"The imperial court has already issued a decree that anyone who dares to smuggle gunpowder among the people will be regarded as a felony, and those who violate it will be sent to prison to be punished." The one who answered him was Lu Mingyuan. , There are also court children who are quite well informed about these news, "This law has been implemented, and I don't know how many people have been involved. It stands to reason that no one among the people can get so much prohibited gunpowder now."

"Since it's not the people, it's the imperial court." Chu Xiwei frowned, and looked at Ruan Feiyu, "The remnants of criminal officials who have been exiled for many years can get Huo Lei, and they can also know the movements of Lve Yingwei and the itinerary of Mr. There must be someone as an internal response...Mr. Ruan, do you have any clues?"

Ruan Feiyu didn't know if he really didn't know, or he was pretending to be confused at this time, smiled lightly, and said: "This old man's life has always been very valuable."

Chu Xiwei disliked dealing with this kind of slippery old fox the most, and immediately frowned, but Ye Fusheng said, "In my opinion, the other party may not necessarily want to die."

Qin Lanshang couldn't understand these maneuvers, and asked, "Why?"

"If I were that person, since I know so many secrets that have not been handed down, then I should also know that I will never be able to win the next generation of Nanru with these methods." Chu Xiwei answered, looking at Xiu'er with a look of contempt. Looking at an insignificant small stone, "No matter how many stumbling blocks, as long as they are not overwhelmed by Mount Tai, it will be nothing after kicking them away... In other words, you are not qualified to take Nanru's life."

Xiu'er had a look of disbelief, Ye Fusheng said: "That night I felt strange, although the people in Buried Soul Palace are not superhuman, they don't have so many wine bags and rice bags anyway, how could they be so easily messed up by two juniors? It was too easy for me to save Mr. Ruan."

"Also," Chu Xi sneered slightly: "That shameless Palace Master of Buried Soul could kill me, but he just watched me use his strength to escape."

"Are you saying that the Burial Soul Palace intentionally released people?" Qin Lanshang's eyes widened, "Why do you have nothing to do when you're full?"

"Then I have to ask Mr. Ruan." Ye Fusheng turned to face Ruan Feiyu, "Do they have anything to ask of Mr. Ruan?"

All the playing hard to get in the world is just a roundabout game.

Ruan Feiyu looked at him for a long time, and the thousand-year-old clam shell finally let out his breath: "The Buried Soul Palace takes money to do things, and this time is no exception."

"That's the employer behind them, what do you want Mr. to do?"

"This old man is old, he bit too many people in his previous life, and now he doesn't want to be a dog anymore." Ruan Feiyu laughed at himself, Ye Fusheng and Chu Xiwei looked at each other with a serious expression on their faces.

He is a dignified Southern Confucian, an extremely human minister, and has been the head of a hundred officials for many years. How has he ever humbled himself to such an extent?

If he compares himself to an eagle dog, then who else can lead the rein besides the royal family?

The current emperor Chu Ziyu has always used Ruan Feiyu highly. Over the years, all the policies Ruan Feiyu has put forward have been improved.In other words, there are still few concubines in Chu Ziyu's harem, so far there is no dragon son or phoenix daughter, so the only ones who can be called royals... are only a few sons left by the late emperor and a few uncles of His Majesty today That's all.

The first emperor had three daughters and nine sons, two of whom married far away and married, and one died of illness four years ago; the eldest of the nine princes had already died, and the second prince was displeased by the late emperor because of his involvement in the Qin Hebai case. , and the remaining seven were involved in the battle for the throne. For this reason, they ignored the brotherhood and made a fight to the death, but the emperor's eldest grandson Chu Ziyu intervened, and no one was in favor.

When he seized the throne, more than half of the seven princes had been lost. After Chu Ziyu came to power, he used various means to gather power.Up to now, there are only three people who can still jump around in the world and can make these moves——

The second prince, Chu Yu, was named Duan Wang and stayed in Tianjing;

The fifth prince, Chu Yun, was named King Cheng and guarded the Eastern Customs;

The Ninth Prince, Chu Yuan, was granted the title of King of Rites and guarded Fengcheng.

No matter who did this, it shows that there is a heart of disobedience.

Ye Fusheng's heart sank, he vaguely felt that this matter... could not be resolved.
