hermit meets king

It was just a minor injury, after a few days of rest, Qi Wenxiu was fine.Go out from the back of the small courtyard and come to Tai'an Palace.

Butler Li took Qi Wenxiu to the backyard, and saw Xu Sheng teaching Si Koulin how to practice martial arts.Looking at the relationship between the two, it doesn't look like the alienation that the proton and the prince should have.

Qi Wenxiu watched quietly for a while before Xu Sheng put down the sword in his hand and let Si Koulin practice by himself. "Master Qi is here." Xu Sheng took the sweat towel brought up by the servant and wiped off the sweat from practicing martial arts. "I heard you were injured?"

"It's a small matter." Qi Wenxiu looked at the young man who was still practicing sword in the courtyard, "Is the proton doing well with you?"

Xu Sheng handed the towel to the servant, "This kid is a bit timid."

Qi Wenxiu turned around and looked at Xu Sheng and joked, "If you're so caring, you won't be afraid of raising tigers in the future."

Xu Sheng was startled, and turned to look at the young man who was immersed in practicing sword in the yard, "The tiger is terrifying, but the young tiger is pitiful."

Qi Wenxiu smiled, but he didn't expect that this seemingly serious and upright person would be pitiful and weak.

The two entered the study room and had a secret chat for a while, then Qi Wenxiu got up to bid farewell to Xu Sheng.

Xu Sheng looked at the black and white pieces on the chessboard, and played three moves in a row before breaking the chess game on the table.

I have to lament the power of Mr. Qi and the unpredictable power behind it.Fortunately, I was in the dark, and I still had time to save a second move.Otherwise, I'm afraid they will be played and applauded by him like the crown prince and King Rui.

Or, he is also a pawn in his hand.Just don't know yet?

Thinking of this, Xu Sheng shuddered.Some things have to be sped up, and the fledgling has to be taken every step of the way.

The queen was sent to the cold palace, and the prince was confined to the Buddha Hall for half a year.

The prince held a grudge against King Rui and vowed to eradicate him.It's just that now there is another Qi Wenxiu beside him.That's why I have fallen to where I am today.

Qi Wenxiu must be removed. Since he can't use it for himself, there is no need to stay in this world.

Although the assassination failed this time, it became clear that Qi Wenxiu was surrounded by only the four great master guards.

It was the four servants in the small courtyard.Although the four major guards deserved their reputation, it wasn't that they had nothing to do that day.

To order people to go down, we must do it as soon as possible.The spies came to report, but there were still no additional guards. It seemed that the suzerain of Du Luomen was extremely confident.

The prince sent Eight Eagles and even invited Patriarch Xia.

Eight eagles are the prince's confidantes who have been kept in captivity. All of them are strong in martial arts, and everyone is afraid of them.

The ancestor even withdrew from the arena for many years, and has been kept under the radar of the prince, and now all of them are mobilized, just to kill one person.

The assassination that followed was caught off guard.

However, Qi Wenxiu was waiting for him.

The night is dark and windy.In the calm and unpredictable cold moon.

Eight figures in black quickly surrounded a small courtyard on the outskirts of the capital.For example, eight sharp swords are shot into the courtyard, and four people immediately come out of the courtyard to fight with them.

What no one saw was that an extremely fast figure sneaked into the master bedroom while avoiding everyone who was fighting in front of him.

Qi Wenxiu sat on the chair, looking at a document.The shadow was reflected on the wall, with a look of indifference.

An old man with gray hair and distorted face appeared in the room as fast as a ghost. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Qi Wenxiu. Decapitated!

However, a long sickle shot out across the sky, blocking the powerful axe, instantly sparks overflowed, lighting up the candles in the room.

The old man's distorted face was full of surprise, it was impossible, he had never felt that there were third people in this room!

At that moment of astonishment, the old man felt a chill in his stomach, and looked down, and saw another sickle beside him glowing coolly, stained with blood, and ticking down.

In an instant, his intestines burst out, and his upper body fell to the side, but his lower limbs stood firmly, already in two.

His eyes were wide open in disbelief, looking at the wall where the scholar's shadow was reflected, a tall black figure, like Shura's sharp sword, holding two long scythes, came out from the darkness.

Qi Wenxiu looked away from the book, glanced at the body that had been cut in two on the ground, and slowly wiped away the drop of blood that splashed on his face.He whispered, "Kuang Jue, take care of everything."

"Yes." Heiying held two long scythes in his hands, his voice was hoarse as if stones rubbed against each other.

The next day, Xu Yanzhuo received news that Qi Wenxiu was assassinated again, and even touched the prince's Eight Eagles and Xia Patriarch who had withdrawn from the arena for a long time.

Xu Yanzhuo's first reaction was whether Qi Wenxiu was injured.

I felt relieved knowing he wasn't hurt.Then knowing that Yaying suffered heavy casualties and the ancestor was killed, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

One of the prince's arms was cut off.

During this period of time, the successive incidents, the proton incident, Wen Taifu's daughter, and Anyi who seriously injured him this time.

The prince is already at a disadvantage. It has to be said that this Qi Wenxiu is really powerful.Fortunately, he chose to stand on his side.Otherwise, I will do my best to get rid of him.

However, now there is more appreciation and admiration for him. With such a powerful person, are you afraid that the world is not in your hands?

Everyone has their own dark guards who train and raise them. The prince's Eight Eagles are something he has always been quite afraid of. Many news and secret things are obstacles.Now it is much more convenient.

He hurriedly prepared his horse and went to Qi Wenxiu's courtyard.

It can't be seen at all that after a fierce battle last night, the servant who opened the door is still the honest, silent middle-aged man. He can't see anything strange at all.

Even the people sweeping the fallen leaves in the courtyard are like servants of ordinary people.

If they didn't know it in advance, how could they have imagined that they would kill or injure the prince Bayin, and even killed the ancestor.

Qi Wenxiu made tea under the flower stand in the backyard, poured a cup for Xu Yanzhuo, and asked him to taste it.

"There are really only four subordinates in your mansion?" Xu Yanzhuo asked while sipping tea. After getting along for so long and admiring him, he no longer spoke so politely.

Qi Wenxiu said clearly, "Of course..."

"If you say Prince Yin Baying, I still believe it, but this ancestor of the Xia family?"

"The grass people are just playing tricks." Qi Wenxiu served tea to Xu Yan Zhuoman.

Xu Yanzhuo raised his eyebrows and said, "What kind of ingenuity can make the ancestor's head go away?"

"King Rui will know in the future." Qi Wenxiu did not tell the people he wanted to follow frankly, which was a big taboo.

Suspicious superiors never like people they can't control, let alone people they can't even see through.

But Xu Yanzhuo finds it interesting, he is dressed as a scholar, but half of his body is like a quack, and the other half is full of mist, which makes people feel extremely mysterious.One day, I will peel it off heavily and let you completely surrender under my feet.

Xu Yanzhuo's habit of rejecting high positions made Xu Yanzhuo think so, but now chatting and drinking tea together, moving the chessboard and placing two chess pieces, it feels like a confidant appreciates it.

Xu Yanzhuo really regarded Qi Wenxiu as his sincere counselor, and took all kinds of treasures to the small courtyard on the outskirts of the capital every three days.

Or he knows that the uncontrollable factors in this person are too strong, but he still wants to run to this small courtyard every day, wishing to find out the secrets of this person and know him like the back of his hand.

At the beginning of spring, everything revives.

Xu Yanzhuo invited Qi Wenxiu to go hunting in Mingshan together.Mingshan has always been a private place for the royal family, and it is only used for hunting and playing by the royal family.And you can only go up to the halfway up the mountain of Mingshan, where the emperors of all dynasties ascended the throne and changed positions before going up to hold the ceremony.

Originally, the top of Mingshan Mountain was the tomb of newcomers, but since it collapsed 20 years ago, it has been set as a forbidden area. Since those 20 years, no one has ever set foot in the middle of Mingshan Mountain.

And at the foot of Mingshan, only the royal family can enter.

There are many tall and deep ancient trees in the mountains. Big trees that are 500 years old or more than a thousand years old can be seen everywhere.At the beginning of spring, everything is revived, elk sees rabbits, and there are countless rare animals.

This time, King Rui invited Qi Wenxiu to go hunting and enjoy the rare beauty of the Underworld.

He brought guards with him, but stopped them at the foot of Mingshan Mountain and stopped them from entering.The two galloped in on a strong horse, very happy and unrestrained.

Everything sprouts new shoots, ancient trees are [-] meters high, towering into the sky, hares and foxes run everywhere, and there are all kinds of rare beasts.

Xu Yanzhuo led Qi Wenxiu to a cliff in the middle of Mingshan Mountain, and he could see half of Mingshan Mountain down, and at a glance, he could see a hundred meters to the foot of Mingshan Mountain, a thousand-meter high cliff, and he could see the top of Mingshan Mountain, with a smooth and straight cut surface , like a broken sky priest splitting, incredible.

Standing on that cliff, looking down, it's like falling into an abyss, and looking up, it's as if the cliff is about to fall down.

Even Qi Wenxiu was amazed by such a miraculous state.

This is Mingshan, and this is the source of ghostly aura 20 years ago.

Wenxiu looked at this unique scene in the world, and his eyes were turbulent.

"It's a good place, isn't it?" Xu Yanzhuo stood in front of the protruding cliff, and his purple robe was blown up by the strong wind in the mountains.

"It's amazing." Qi Wenxiu walked to Xu Yanzhuo's side, looked up at the thousand-meter-high cliff, "There is such a unique place in the world."

"You have never been to the top of the Ming Mountain." Xu Yanzhuo said while pointing to the thousand-meter-high cliff above his head, "I went up there when I was young. 20 years ago..."

"Huh?" Qi Wenxiu asked in an unclear manner.

"You know, that." Xu Yanzhuo thought, people in this world only know that Mingshan collapsed 20 years ago, "Emperor Taizu didn't want to give the throne to my father, but to the seventh prince at that time. I'm only 13 years old. And my father is the prince, and I already have my brother and me. But I didn't expect my grandfather to pass the throne to my seventh uncle regardless of everyone's opposition."

"and then?"
