[Comprehensive] Code of conduct for famous ministers

The sound of the piano sounded suddenly, and it seemed so out of place in the sound of shouting and killing.

The sound of the piano is clanging, like a mountain, like flowing water, far and quiet without a trace of killing.

The moment the piano sounded, there was a strange moment of stillness in the scene.

It was a real stillness. In that short few breaths, the fire was still burning, and the waves were rolling in the distance, and all the people present, whether they were murderers or those waiting to be killed in fear, suddenly felt their hearts beating heavily. stand up.

bang bang bang-

Those few distant sounds of the piano that seemed to fall from the clouds in the sky seemed to hit everyone's heart.

Let the soul be taken away by it!

It was only a few short breaths, but it was so long. Those robbers who did all kinds of crimes and murdered people were no different from slaughtering chickens. In the sound of the zither, they felt fear, which was unprecedented. fear!

The people in the cabin were originally resting their eyes with their eyes closed. A middle-aged man dressed as a scribe sat opposite him. When the piano sounded, the wine cup in the middle-aged scribe's hand fell straight onto the ground with a snap. On the ground, it fell to pieces.

Surprise was evident on the face of the middle-aged man. He looked at his hand, and then stroked his throbbing chest. For a moment, he couldn't think of any words to describe his feeling at this moment. He just felt that his whole heart was very stuffy .

"Young Master Yan—" he called out instinctively, and then faced a pair of eyes that opened at some point.

Those eyes were dark, deep, without any luster, only boundless darkness, filled with bones and blood in the darkness.

The middle-aged scribe shivered instinctively, and slightly looked away. Although he had been together for many days, he still didn't dare to meet those eyes.

A pair of ominous eyes, a cruel and cruel person.

"What's the matter with the sound of the piano?" He was puzzled, "How can there be a sound of the piano at this time?!"

The man has an extremely handsome face, thin lips, a high nose bridge, and a deeper facial contour than ordinary people. A light-colored scar slanted upwards from the corner of the eye, and has been submerged in the black hair at the temples. How much more Don't spoil that perfect feeling.

That is a kind of incomplete beauty.

He didn't pay attention to the middle-aged scribe's question, but the corners of his lips were raised, but there was no smile in his cold eyes, "Interesting." He murmured so, then raised his hand, and took the sword and shield aside , the next second, the black figure has disappeared in place...

......

The silver-white strings were stained with blood, and Yan Xiubai's heart ached for a while, and his attacks became more and more ruthless.

He turned sideways slightly, stroked his sleeve robe, and cut a person's throat again the moment he crossed the strings.

The cyan figure rose from the ground and flew straight towards the person who captured Ji Tang.

Yan Xiubai held the piano horizontally in front of his chest, hooked the strings with his right hand, and saw that the man was about to make a move from the back of his head, and at this moment, a powerful coercion enveloped him like a mountain top.

The pitch-black shield contained a heavy force that forced Yan Xiubai to withdraw his hands to save himself. His green sleeves were fluttering, and the person who was already floating in mid-air, without any help, forced himself to rise three feet higher again. Finally dodged this earth-shattering blow.

"Good!" someone praised.

Yan Xiubai could hear the smile contained in the other party's tone, and in contrast to it was a straight knife full of infinite killing intent!

With a soft slap, Yan Xiubai held the hilt of the sword that popped out, the bright sword glow flashed, and the next moment, the sword and the knife had already collided.

The sword is a short weapon, and Changgemen's martial arts is known for its dexterity, and when it comes to head-to-head with the heavy Mo Dao, it is Yan Xiubai who suffers.

Holding the piano in one hand and the sword in the other, he rolled over and fell to the ground. At this time, he had already seen the true face of the person coming.

Black clothes, black armor and black shield, the whole body is black like a crow, with only a handful of long white chicken feathers thrown behind his head, such a non-mainstream attire, who else but Cangyunbao people? !

After four years away, Yan Xiubai was shocked to see someone in a strange world who would never appear here.

But before his shock was digested, the shield in the opponent's hand had already flown over, along with the long and narrow Mo Dao.

The cyan figure turned into several in an instant, false and real, difficult to distinguish between true and false, each shadow was holding a qin and a sword, the sword glowed like snow, trapping the black-clothed figure in it.

Yan Changsheng frowned, and under the shadow of the sword, he was like a black moth on a spider's web, and the feeling of powerlessness made him feel depressed.

Yan Xiubai still has reservations. After knowing that there is another person like himself in this world, he certainly cannot really hurt him, even if the other party's current position may be against him.

He wanted to have a good talk with him, after this battle.

The vicious eyes were calm and calm, Yan Changsheng was not flustered, the shield was flying to protect the whole body, the knife was waiting for the opportunity to move, finally, his eyes turned cold, he retracted the flying shield, spotted one of the shadows, and smashed the ground with one over!

The false and real shadows condensed into one again, Yan Xiubai took a step back, his throat was sweet, and he spat out a small mouthful of blood.

He was not lightly injured.

"Cough—" he coughed lightly, his gaze complicated, "I've heard of the power of Xuanjia Cangyun for a long time, and seeing it today, it really deserves its reputation..."

The unfamiliar term made Yan Changsheng's heart skip a beat. For a person who obviously didn't care about anything, the words Xuanjia Cangyun actually made his heart beat like never before.

For a moment, even the movements of his hands stopped.

"Who are you?" he asked.

"Yan Xiubai, a disciple of Changge Daozi."

Yan Changsheng didn't say anything more, and didn't make any moves. He took a deep look at him, then dragged the Mo knife, turned and left.

At this time, the reinforcements finally arrived.

The number of people brought by Zhao Sheng is not dominant, but because Yan Changsheng, the biggest main force and leader, directly became the shopkeeper, the rest of the people are panicked. Although Yan Xiubai is injured, it is still no problem to deal with these mobs. , Zhao Sheng and the others almost won this sudden battle with an overwhelming advantage.

In addition to those who escaped and those who died, they captured a total of 32 people. Of course, Yan Xiubai also suffered a lot of casualties. The main victims were villagers. Twelve people from Qijiawan died and three were seriously injured. The rest were more or less shocked.

Enduring the pain in his chest, Yan Xiubai personally directed people to clean up the battlefield. Most of the entire village was burned down. The temporary settlement of these people is also a big problem.

"How?" Yan Xiubai knelt down and reached out to feel Ji Zang's pulse.

"It's okay." Lin Shiyin hugged the child and never took a step away, "It's just a bump on the back of the head."

Ji Tang was snatched back from the robbers by Lin Shiyin herself. After this battle, her throwing knives became much more accurate, and there was an unprecedented firmness in her brows.

"It's okay, just boil two sets of calming soup and drink it." Yan Xiubai smiled, and then said: "I'm afraid I won't be able to go back tonight. I'll send someone to send you off later."

Lin Shiyin looked around and made up her mind: "Just send Tangtang back, I'll stay and help you."

Seeing her resolute attitude, Yan Xiubai did not object.

Yan Xiubai stayed in Qijiawan for six full days. Most of the money Lin Shiyin gave him was spent. Various food, medicinal materials, quilts and clothes were transported over one after another. The group of people who were captured were not put in prison He went to grow mushrooms, but Yan Xiubai swung him down to build houses for the villagers.

During these six days, Yan Xiubai was very busy, not to mention the father who might have encountered the same situation as him, sometimes he didn't even have time to drink saliva.

He has to direct people to build houses, to interrogate the "Wolf Village", to appease the hearts of the people, and to treat the villagers with medical treatment.

Simply put, his medical skills are still good, and even three seriously injured people were rescued by him.

He had been busy all this time, so he inevitably neglected himself. It wasn't until Lin Shiyin saw that his face turned pale, and he often coughed lightly while clutching his chest, that he didn't realize that he was also injured.

This man was too tolerant, he was always gentle and gentle, Lin Shiyin, who hadn't even said a few serious words, couldn't help turning cold, and asked him to go back with a firm attitude.

The people under Yan Xiubai's actions these days were all aware of it. When he left, except for those who couldn't move, the other villagers sent him ten miles away under the leadership of the village chief.

Yan Xiubai sat in the swaying carriage, the long-lost system sound rang in his head.

"The host is diligent and diligent, working hard, and the people's hearts +2."

"System?" Yan Xiubai's face was pale, without a trace of blood.

"Yes, the system is at your service."

Yan Xiubai hesitated for a moment before asking: "In this world, are there other people who have suffered like me?"

"Yes." The system replied.

Yan Xiubai's eyes lit up, and he said, "In other words, that military master of Cangyun Castle may have accidentally obtained an existence like you, and then wandered into this world like me?"

At this moment, he felt the joy of finding a companion.

But the system quickly denied his joy.

"Although there are other people who get the system for various reasons and then wander around in each world, a world can only accommodate one person from another world, and it is absolutely impossible for two people to appear, not to mention that you are from the same world, so that's even worse. It's possible."

Yan Xiubai frowned, "But he is already in this world. I have seen it with my own eyes. The clothes and dressing up can be a coincidence, but Cang Yunjun's martial arts cannot be faked!"

"He's not human." The system calmly gave such a shocking answer.

"Are you joking?!" Yan Xiubai felt extremely absurd. A few days ago, the two had a fierce fight, and the other party injured him. Until now, his chest hurts. It's not a person, is it a ghost? ?The opponent has a shadow.

"I never joke." The system replied, "The ferocity of that person's whole body is almost overflowing. It is impossible for a mortal body to bear it. No matter how strong the body is, it will collapse."

Yan Xiubai fell silent, various guesses flashed through his mind, his head hurt from thinking, he rubbed the center of his brows, and asked, "Then what is he? He can't be a ghost, right?!"

"I don't know." The system replied with a very bachelor.

"..."

Yan Xiubai was speechless.

It is said that he is recuperating, but in fact, Yan Xiubai has not completely rested. The recruitment has been almost done, and the rest is for him to meet and screen in person. The so-called wolf village must not be kept any longer, and the assassination of him must be investigated to the end.

To be honest, he was very curious, a small seventh-rank official, who has been in the job for less than a month, who can get in the way?

She had a lot of things to think about, and the internal injury was slow to heal. In the end, Lin Shiyin couldn't see it, so she detained him in the backyard and let Ji Tang watch. Then she put on the men's clothes and took care of those things instead of him.

No one would be dissatisfied with her, maybe it would have been in the past, but after the battle at Qijiawan, everyone present had seen Miss Lin's tough performance with their own eyes, a small flying knife , I don't know how many times stronger than their tiger-headed swords, few men can match.

Slowly, Lin Shiyin's reputation became higher and higher.

......

The room was a bit dark, only a dim oil lamp was lit, emitting a faint light.

The man stood in the backlight, and his whole body almost merged with the darkness.

Not far from him, the middle-aged scribe kept walking back and forth with his sleeves flung, with a look of dismay.

"Obviously you are going to succeed, why did you leave suddenly! An excellent opportunity was missed! Do you know how heavy that child is? He must not live!"

The man didn't even move his hair, his face was indifferent.

The middle-aged scribe became even more angry, for a moment he forgot the fear of the other party, pointed at his nose and cursed: "I have spent a lot of time to make the arrangement, and I saw that the success is imminent, but it was all destroyed by you, you wait Now, I will definitely report the details to your lord truthfully!"

The strong dark color moved, and what answered him was a bright light.

Blood gushed out, and the middle-aged scribe fell to the ground with a scream. Four of the five fingers on his right hand were missing.

Yan Changsheng stepped on the four severed fingers on the ground, and said cruelly under the horrified eyes of the other party: "I hate people pointing at me, I can't help but cut off his fingers, just like now! "

Saying this, the black boots rubbed hard on the four severed fingers, and then left.

Chensheng County.

Ever since Yan Xiubai was forced by Lin Shiyin to recuperate at home, Ji Tang was very clingy to him, his eyes adored and incredulous, he forced him to talk about the attack of the piano sound in Qijiawan that day, even Yan Xiubai specially increased his homework, His enthusiasm was not extinguished.

"Playing the piano can really kill people?" Ji Tang's black and white eyes were full of longing, and Ji Tang regretted why he was knocked out by the robber that day?It would be great if I could see that scene with my own eyes. Those magical rumors outside aroused all the curiosity of the young man.

Yan Xiubai smiled at him, put the qin on his knees, the qin sounded slowly, quietly and quietly, raised his right index finger slightly, and shot out with a burst of energy, cutting off a branch of Lao Gui next to him.

Ji Tang was dumbfounded, and it took him a long time to pull his sleeve and said repeatedly: "Uncle Yan, teach me! Teach me this!!"

Facing the child's eagerness, Yan Xiubai just said slowly, "Didn't I teach you a long time ago?"

"Where is it?!" Ji Tang had a deceitful face, he was either squatting every day, or memorizing acupuncture point maps, and there was nothing else in terms of martial arts.

"When I was your age, I squatted on horseback to practice the piano every day, and I also memorized the acupoint map. After the acupoint map was memorized, I would memorize the piano score. After the piano score was well practiced, I could slowly integrate it into the practice of Mo Wen's mind. I sent martial arts The sword is hidden in the qin, and there is love in the sword. The qin and the sword complement each other and are indispensable. With your physique and understanding, you can almost practice swords after squatting for three years."

Ji Tang was fascinated when he heard it, but he was a little depressed when he heard the last sentence. He still had to wait three years.

Yan Xiubai saw his thoughts at a glance, rubbed his head and said: "Learning martial arts is not easy, let alone one that can be mastered overnight. Talent and hard work are indispensable. You have talent, but you don't know if you can persevere." .”

"Uncle Yan, don't worry, I will definitely do it." Ji Tang's eyes sparkled, he wanted to be strong, he wanted to protect the people around him instead of being protected all the time.

When Lin Shiyin came back in the evening, she told Yan Xiubai about some things in the yamen as usual. The things in Qijiawan had been dealt with almost, and the people's hearts were settled down. It looks like it will take time.

As for the assassination of Yan Xiubai, there was absolutely no proof, because the murderer committed suicide and died quietly in prison.

"The assassin's name is Qin Da. He has no wife and no children. He lives by hunting. He moved to Lixiagou in his early years. He has lived there for seven or eight years. Everyone there knows him. He was dragged away by Zhao Butou half a year ago. Joining the militia, he has great courage and good skills, Zhao Butou admires him very much, and once wanted to drag him to the Yamen as a fast catcher."

"I can't find anything else? How about the experience seven or eight years ago? Qin Da should not be his real name."

Lin Shiyin shook her head, "I can't find it. You also said that he is not an ordinary person, and Chen Sheng County has limited conditions, so we can only find out about some ordinary people."

Yan Xiubai frowned, he understood that what the other party said was the truth.

Lin Shiyin brought out the boiled medicine and put it on the table in front of Yan Xiubai. The bitter smell of the medicine came from Yan Xiubai. Yan Xiubai thanked him without changing his face, and then took the bowl of medicine that looked very bitter. .

Seeing that he had finished drinking, Ji Tang at the side quickly stuffed a piece of candy into his mouth, and the sweet and greasy taste spread among the taste buds.

In fact, Yan Xiubai is not afraid of bitterness, he doesn't like sweet food, especially this kind that is too sweet, but he will not let down the child's kindness, and gently rubbed his head.

"What do you think about Butou Zhao? After all, he is involved in this matter."

Yan Xiubai shook his head, "It has nothing to do with him, it's not like I can't even see this."

"Then I suggest you go to see him in person and appease him, and don't create any estrangement."

"I understand."

Yan Xiubai smiled, and suddenly said: "I think kidnapping you from Li Yuan back then was the most correct thing I ever did in my life." , can also assist him in politics, which can be called omnipotent.

Lin Shiyin twirled her hair, and chuckled lightly when she heard the words, "It's just right, I also think it was the right thing to come out with you back then."

The two looked at each other, smiling.

Late at night, midnight.

A crescent moon hung alone in the night, the moonlight was pale and cold.

In the bedroom, the person who was sleeping soundly suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were clear, without the slightest haze of just waking up, making one wonder if he was awake all the time.

He stood up with his clothes on, facing the uninvited guests, he didn't immediately go to get the violin case that was put aside.

There was no light in the room, Yan Xiubai didn't want to wake Lin Shiyin and the others, he got off the bed, put on his shoes, and followed the unexpected guest.

The two didn't go far, and the black figure landed lightly on the roof like a ghost, separated by a distance of ten feet from Yan Xiubai.

"You are quite courageous." The man turned around and said, with an indescribable sarcasm in his voice, "You came out with me empty-handed, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

"If you want to do something, you have already done it, and you won't wait until now." Yan Xiubai said, "I just don't know what your Excellency is doing late at night!"

"You said that your name is Yan Xiubai, Yan Xiubai from Changgemen, but I have checked for so many days, and there is no sect called Changgemen in this world!" The black eyes gradually turned crimson, and diffused from the opponent's body. The evil spirit can almost make anyone tremble with fear.

Yan Xiubai's heart moved, and he suddenly felt that the system's words were not without basis. This person did not look like a body of flesh and blood, but rather seemed to be piled up from bones, resentment, anger, murderous intentions, and all other sins of time.

What surprised Yan Xiubai even more was why the other party was obviously from Cangyun Castle, but didn't know about Changgemen?

"And the Xuanjia Cangyun you mentioned..." When he said these four words, he seemed to pause, and then his voice became cold for more than a moment, "What do you mean?!"

......
