Linque

On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, it rained in the emperor's capital.

Suburban dew garden at night.

A figure flitted across the wall and landed in Ye Shuli's yard without a sound.

The chilly draft and the figure knocked open the door together.Ye Shuli was sitting behind the desk, and just put down his pen and rubbed his wrists twice, when he heard a "bang", when he raised his head, he saw Chu Heng staggering in, before taking two steps, his whole body softened Go down, kneel and sit on the ground directly.

"Senior brother?!"

Ye Shuli's face suddenly changed, he got up abruptly and ran over from behind the desk, hurriedly supporting Chu Heng.

Half of his body was soaked by the cold rain, his complexion was as pale as paper, without any blood at all.Ye Shuli touched his forehead with his hand, it was really hot, and his eyes turned red immediately: "Are you going to kill people or are you planning to collect your own body? How many half-mengtan did you eat in one breath?"

He helped Chu Heng to sit on the couch, closed his eyes and didn't respond.

Ye Shuli was angry, anxious and distressed, so he hurriedly asked people to clean up the side room, and prepared hot water and clean clothes.With Chu Heng like this, Ye Shuli was really worried about letting him go back, so he simply left him in his yard for the whole night.

After taking the hot decoction to dispel the cold, Chu Heng's face regained some color, and Ye Shuli handed him another bowl of clear porridge. Thinking of the things that had been spread all over the imperial capital in the past few days, he pointed at him angrily. He scolded: "Qiannuolou doesn't have the handle of our Lishan Mountain. Do you need to go to the west of Zhongzhou overnight? I don't understand it. It's not like the emperor's shadow guard can't take down a Qiannuolou. I gave it to you What good is it for you to take the initiative? It’s fine to help, but you still toss yourself like this, you can tell the uncle yourself, don’t expect me to cover for you.”

On the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, after the grand court meeting in the Xuanzheng Palace, the emperor issued an edict that Qian Nuolou assassinated the holy car, and the crime was accomplice to treason, and the death penalty was unpardonable.

The imperial decree was announced to Kyushu, and of course Lu Yuan also received the news.Although Lishan has not been involved in political affairs these years, he knows the inside ways clearly.In the past few days, the major families in the imperial capital have been in a hurry, and they gathered all their staff and rushed to Qiannuo Tower to fish in troubled waters.

But they were doomed to work in vain.

Ye Shuli asked, "Have you dealt with the people in Qiannuo Building?"

"Yeah." Chu Heng nodded lightly, pressed his forehead and said in a low voice: "Kill everyone who should be killed, and capture the nine landlords and other important people alive..." He paused for a while, and Fang He continued, "All the case files and books in the building are sealed up, and they will be escorted to the imperial capital together with people and books a year ago."

Ye Shuli couldn't help but took a deep breath, he finally knew how Chu Heng got such an airy look, it was all done by himself.

That day when he said to kill people, Ye Shuli didn't think much about it. Although the opponents were the nine master-level hosts of Qiannuolou, for Mahayana Dongjun, it was just a little more effort. Even if Chu Heng didn't carry a sword, Ye Shuli Shuli wasn't too worried.

Killing is nothing but nodding, but capturing alive is different.If you want to capture the leader of that group of desperadoes and make them helpless and be escorted to the imperial capital, you will either be seriously injured and unconscious, but in this way, whether people can survive to the imperial capital is another matter; , Let these people no longer have the strength to resist.

Ye Shuli only looked at Chu Heng's appearance, and knew it was the latter without asking.The nine master-level characters with deep inner strength, even if it was Chu Heng in his heyday, he would be a little bit exhausted if he did it, let alone now.

——He didn't know how many half-dreams he ate.

"Why doesn't it hurt you to death?" Ye Shuli gritted his teeth angrily as he looked at the fine cold sweat that could not be wiped off his forehead, "I just can't figure it out. What benefits are given to you that are worth your efforts?"

The boy came and knocked on the door, and the hot water for bathing was ready.Ye Shuli didn't delay, sent Chu Heng to the side room, and didn't have time to ask him why he went to help the emperor's shadow guard, so he hurriedly opened an umbrella to find Mu Xiyun.

The Tianzi Yingwei took down the entire Qiannuo Tower in only three days, and caught the big families by surprise. When the news of Lishan Dongjun's help spreads, it may cause some storms in Kyushu.

On the evening of the same day, an hour ago, in the outskirts of the imperial capital.

Ling Qi, who rushed back to Beijing to return to his mission, happened to meet Rong Shan, the deputy head of the shadow guard. Both of them pretended to be worried, and after a few conversations, they realized that these things all pointed to the same person.

Rong Shanben was ordered to investigate the old affairs of Lishan related to Dongjun Ji Wuyue, but Ling Qi was different.On the nineteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, before setting out to kill Qiannuolou, His Majesty suddenly sent someone to deliver a message, saying that if someone from Lishan came to help, let the shadow guards take care of him so that he would not be injured.

Ling Qi should answer, but he never imagined that the "helping Lishan people" His Majesty said would be Dongjun Ji Wuyue.

When he led the Tianzi Shadow Guards to the west of Zhongzhou, there was already a fight in Qiannuolou, or to be more precise, the people in Qiannuolou were being beaten.

A man in plain clothes wearing a bamboo hat held a long whip he had picked up in his hand, and with a sweep of his wrist, all the weapons attacking from all directions were thrown back by an invisible force, and the weapons with weaker internal strength were thrown off on the spot. A group of people danced with swords, guns, swords and halberds for a long time, but they couldn't even touch a piece of his clothes, allowing him to fight from south to north, heading straight for the two landlords.

Ling Qi didn't delay, and immediately drew his sword out of its sheath.It was the [-]st of the twelfth lunar month at that time, and the imperial decree had not yet reached the western border of Zhongzhou. Dongjun seemed a little surprised by the arrival of the emperor's shadow guards. He raised his whip and swept one of them away, and asked a question while turning around.

Ling Qi felt even more strange, with the emperor's message of "people from Lishan Mountain help", he thought that His Majesty had some secret connection with Lord Lishandong, but Ji Wuyue seemed to be unaware of it.

"People from Qiannuolou killed my Lishan disciples in Ningzhou, so I came to take their landlord's life." Ji Wuyue said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the landlord who was beaten into the air just got up from the ground, and before the blood from the corners of his mouth could be wiped off, he immediately shouted for injustice and defended himself, claiming that they never touched a single hair of the Lishan disciples, even if they died, they would not repent. this pot.

Ji Wuyue didn't even bother to give a glance, and instead asked, "What is Commander Ling here for?"

Ling Qi briefly talked about Qian Nuolou's assassination of Sheng Jia in the inner city of the imperial capital, Ji Wuyue nodded, and said lightly: "I will not kill these landlords, but I will capture you alive and take you back to the imperial capital. Give you a favor."

——To be honest, Ling Qi himself didn't even think about this.

Of course, he would not simply think that Ji Wuyue is so easy to talk, Lishan has never been involved in these matters in the court, it is very strange for Dongjun to appear in Qiannuolou rashly - that set of Qiannuolou killed Lishan's disciples The rhetoric is simply not convincing -- let alone the offer to live.

Ling Qi returned to the palace full of doubts. It was already Xu time, and the emperor returned to Ming Cheng Palace, but after hearing the news that he and Rong Shan had returned to the palace, he summoned them immediately.
