A dark shadow passed by in front of the flower window, Xiahou Lin was startled, and he didn't care to talk to Shen Jue, he directly turned over the top of Shen Jue, stepped on the couch and broke through the window and jumped onto the corridor. The figure was in front of him, and Xia Houlin ran after him. Fanzi Yaoyao shouted and followed, and Xia Houlin gritted his teeth, chasing the shadow through the corridors.
The assassin didn't seem to be familiar with the terrain, and was gradually caught up by Xiahou Lin. A sharp sound rang out in the sky, as if to pierce through the head. Xia Houlin nimbly ducked sideways, the crossbow arrow rubbed the tip of his nose and shot out, knocking the fan behind him to the ground. The hostility in Xia Houlin's eyes flashed, and he continued to chase after him. The two of them can only see afterimages when the former is behind.
The assassin turned the corner, followed by Xia Houlin. After three twists and turns in the corridor, there is a hanging flower gate at the end. The assassin jumped over the threshold and turned left. Without hesitation, Xia Houlin jumped out of the corridor with Langan in one hand, put his feet on the wall, grabbed the top of the wall with both hands, and then pushed hard. Turning around, it happened to meet the assassin.
Assassins dressed in drag, dressed as Fanzi. Xia Hourong wanted to rush over, and touched his waist with his hand, only to realize that the knife fell on Shen Jue's place and forgot to bring it. But it was too late to think. The assassin pulled out the crossbow machine behind his waist and fired three arrows in succession. Xia Houlin stepped on the wall and rose into the air. At the moment of landing, Xia Houlin stretched out his hand, the iron arrow fell into his palm, and the palm of his hand was filled with an icy chill.
"Fight or surrender?" Xia Houlin slowly clenched the cold arrow.
"You're a goddamn broken arrow, how can you still stab me to death?" The assassin sneered.
The two start at the same time! The assassin pulled out his long knife and rushed over, slashing like a whirlwind. However, every blow he made was blocked by Xiahou Rang, the blade collided with the body of the fine iron arrow, making a loud sound. The two were wrestling face to face, the long knife rubbed against the iron arrow, and bright sparks rubbed where the blades met, making a sour sound.
Fanzi's footsteps came from afar, and the assassin suddenly understood that this fellow was delaying time!
He scolded and took the lead in withdrawing his strength, still holding the knife in one hand, and pulling out the crossbow machine from behind his waist with his left. Xia Houlin avoided his crossbow arrow with a short body, and the iron arrow in his hand flashed with cold light, and pierced towards his left hand. The assassin's response was also very fast. With a twist of his wrist, the crossbow machine resisted the iron arrow. The two faced each other again, and they could hear each other's beating heartbeats.
"Dude, it's not easy for anyone to float in the rivers and lakes, let me go." The assassin begged for mercy.
Xia Houlin sneered and wanted to refuse, but he looked down and suddenly saw the crossbow machine in the assassin's hand. Hei Tie's crossbow arms shone with a gloomy cold light, and there were intricate patterns of crochet grass engraved at the bottom of Wangshan Mountain, and two small seals - "Jinghong" were engraved on the bottom.
Xia Houlin said in surprise, "Seventeen!"
Tang Shiqi was stunned, "How do you know your father's name?"
It's still sloppy at this time! Xia Houlin glared at him, "I'm Xiahou!"
Tang Shiqi was stunned. Fanzi's cry suddenly approached. Tang Shiqi gave a shudder and dragged Xia Houlin's sleeves into the side aisle. The two were clinging to the wall at the corner, and the sound of Fanzi's footsteps surging past.
"Fuck you, I thought your motherfucker was caught by Jia Lan!" Xia Houlin tore off his human skin mask, revealing his round face, "Why did you come to Dongchang to set fire?"
"My mother-in-law was caught by Jia Lan before I set it on fire. Those gangsters gave Lao Tzu the fruit of bliss and forced Lao Tzu to help them work and pay their mother's money." Tang Shiqi caught a glimpse of what Xia Houlin was wearing. Ye Sa, enviously touched the tattoo on his chest, "Boss, you are really still alive! You are still an official! Don't you have a grudge against the dead eunuch Shen Jue... I understand, the most dangerous place is the most dangerous place. Safe place, boss, you're really good at this!"
"Death to your grandfather, it was all a misunderstanding before. He arrested me to save me... Forget it, I can't tell you, you just need to know that he is my good brother." Xia Houlin stuck out his head and looked around for a while, making sure there was no one outside. Man, turned back to Tang Shiqi and said, "Let's go, let's go to a safe place to talk."
Xia Houlin took Tang Shiqi into the snow cave in the rockery, where it was pitch black and he couldn't see his fingers. Tang Shiqi put a stick of incense on the ground, lit it with flint, and said, "We can only talk about the time for a stick of incense, I have to leave before three quarters of noon, the smoke in the warehouse has already started, and I won't show up for a long time. Doubtful."
"How did you get caught? Didn't I leave a letter in Hangzhou Dark Nest asking you to hide?"
Tang Shiqi said in a sullen voice, "How can I hide? I'm a big living person, so I have to eat and drink. Dongchang has my wanted order, as well as Garan, so I can't mix black and white. One day I was sleeping in a Maodian, I don't know where the flaws were exposed, and I was caught."
He licked his lips and continued: "As soon as I went in, they asked me where you were, how would I know? Besides, you killed your father. Shouldn't it be long overdue for you to take a break in July and a half? They said you stopped, they said you didn't, and they said I was a liar. It took me more than half a year to believe that I really didn't know. Duan Jiu asked me to choose whether to serve the fruit of bliss into Garan as an assassin, or to die. Of course I will Choose to be an assassin, and that's it."
Xia Houlin looked solemn, patted Tang Shiqi on the shoulder, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm hurting you."
"Hey, they're all brothers, what are you talking about?" Tang Shiqi smiled, "Actually, thanks to Shen Jue, before I was arrested, he copied all the private nests you built and broke up the two of us. Contact, or else I might really give you out."
Xiahou narrowed his brows and said, "I was wondering before, how did Jialan know that I wasn't dead and still searched for my whereabouts? Seventeen, how long did you stay in Jialan and how much did you know? How is Jialan now? Where is he hiding? ?"
Xia Houlin asked several questions in one go, but Tang Shiqi couldn't handle it. After thinking for a while, he said, "My status is too low, and I haven't been to my family. I don't know where Jialan is, but I have seen the boss of Jialan in Datong Town. Once you go there and search for it, maybe you can get results."
He picked up a twig from the ground and made a face on the ground, "Jia Lan is not the same as before. I heard others say that when you killed Xing Xue, the abbot of Jia Lan had no successor, and Shen Jue searched for Jia Lan again and again. Assassin, the dark nest was almost cleaned up. Duan Jiu took all the assassins back to Shuobei's hometown to regroup. Now the boss is not the abbot, but the emperor of Yama. Jialan has rules - 'When encountering Yama, you can't look closely, you can't pay attention, you can only look down. Bye'. I haven't seen his real face, only a shadow from a distance that looks like a dwarf."
"dwarf?"
"Yeah, it's short and stout. He brought the Bliss Fruit, which replaced all the seven and a half months, and now Jialan has no seven and a half months."
"Emperor Yama... He is the real master, is Heart Killing just a puppet he controls Garan?" Xiahou frowned and pondered.
Tang Shiqi was actually full of questions and wanted to ask. He glanced at Xia Houlin cautiously, and said, "Boss, did your dead man give you the antidote? It seems that he still treats you as a son!"
"Don't talk nonsense, keep talking." Xia Houlin urged him.
Tang Shiqi drew a line under the grimace, connecting another grimace, "I don't know if Heart Killing is a puppet. Anyway, under Yama now is Duan Jiu, and usually Yan Luo's orders are conveyed by Duan Jiu. The bliss fruit I feed, his own knife wound is difficult to heal, and he needs to rely on bliss fruit to relieve pain, so let everyone accompany him to eat bliss fruit, I will fuck his mother!"
Xia Houlin was gloomy and did not speak.
"You still think he's your Uncle Duan? Don't miss the boss, he's just a bastard who has forgotten everything."
Tang Shiqi caught a glimpse of Xiahou Lin's clenched fist under his arrow sleeve, and when he became serious, there was a sullen look between his brows, which made people look scared. Xia Houluo said in a low voice, "My antidote was indeed given by Xinjian. Before I killed him, he made me drink a bowl of tea. The governor guessed that Xinjian used his own life to make me and Chian have a relationship. Opportunity to leave Jialan. Now it seems that Duan Jiu has been monitoring the heart-killing for Emperor Yama in the name of a close friend."
Tang Shiqi let out a long sigh, "People are unpredictable. Boss, let me tell you, now no matter who you meet Garan, except me, kill them, don't hesitate. The fruit of bliss is too poisonous, the assassins are crazy, some people even In order to kill each other for the fruit of bliss, he is also grateful to Yama, saying how to thank Yama for giving him supreme bliss."
Xia Houlin looked at Tang Shiqi with hidden worry in his eyes.
"You don't have to worry about me," Tang Shiqi rubbed Xia Houlan's shoulder, "Boss, I have always admired you, really, you are the most manly person I have ever met in my life. I'm sorry. And if it wasn't for you, I'd be dead. I've made up my mind about the boss, and I'll be a dark line for you in Galan. Now Galan doesn't have a dark nest, and every time they send orders, the sheath comes to me. If they want to assassinate someone important , I'll give you a tip. Remember, I'm a chef in Chulou, and I make braised pork trotters. You can come to Chulou to find me, remember to hide."
The two bumped their fists, and Xiahou Rin said, "Good brother! But everything comes first, so remember to be careful about everything."
"There is one more thing I need the boss to do for you," Tang Shiqi rubbed his hands together, "I have a good relationship, she is the daughter of the Zhao family in Hangzhou, and I met Shangxiang in Lingyin Temple. She raised my child, so she must have I’m in my early four years, and I’ve been under the control of Galan these years, and I don’t have time to see her. I don’t know what’s going on with this orphan and widow. Boss, if you have time, give her some money.”
"Okay, wrap it on me."
Tang Shiqi scratched his head and said awkwardly: "That, and also, I used your identity when I was good with her."
"..." Xiahou Lin held his forehead, "Seventeen, when will your mother change your virtue?"
Tang Shiqi smiled embarrassedly, and saw that there was only a tiny bit of incense left, and hurriedly said, "The incense is almost gone, I have to go, boss!"
Xia Houlin stopped him, "The last question, is Chiyan in Jialan?"
Tang Shiqi shook his head, "I haven't seen it before. By the way, I remember when you said that. Don't be soft-hearted when you see someone, and you must be ruthless."
"Who?"
"Kinaro, book love."
Xia Houlin was stunned, "My junior brother!?"
Tang Shiqi saw that the incense had gone out, and said anxiously, "I don't have time to tell you the details. Just do as I say."
Xia Houlin had no choice but to give up, pulling him to the exit of the snow cave to guide him in the direction of escape, and said, "I'll help you divert Fanzi away, you run quickly."
When he walked to a bright place and the sky shone down, Tang Shiqi could see Xia Houlin's face clearly. Xia Houlin was a bit taller than him, and he was fighting and hiding just now, and when he entered the hole, it was completely dark. In a hurry, he didn't understand that Xia Houlin's new face was exactly the same as the man drawn by Shen Jue. Tang Shiqi was immediately stunned.
Oh my God, that dead eunuch Shen Jue actually has such filthy thoughts towards his boss, and his boss still treats Shen Jue as a good brother? Tang Shiqi stammered: "Boss, that Shen Jue, Shen Jue he..."
"Over there!" Fanzi's cry suddenly sounded.
The two of them were startled at the same time, only to see a row of children running towards them on the corridor of the flower garden.
Tang Shiqi grabbed Xia Houlin and said in a hurry, "Shen Jue is not at ease, be careful!" He jumped over the rocks and fled as if flying.
Xia Houlin didn't have time to think about what he said, so he hurried out to stop Fanzi, and shouted, "Everyone, stop and chase slowly."
A fanboy called out, "What do you mean?"
There's a sheath staring at Seventeen outside, and he has to help him make a show. Xia Houlin said: "I want to chase, but I can't catch up."
"Who are you, why should we listen to you?" The man sneered, "Xiahou Rin, don't show off your power in front of us just because you have a little friendship with the governor. Don't forget, you and us are on the same level."
"Not today." Shen Jue's voice came from afar.
Everyone turned around, only to see Shen Jue walking over with his hands behind his back, with such a tall body, the sun shining behind him, making his whole body plated with a layer of gold, like a fairy walking down from the horizon. Everyone bowed their heads and took a step back silently.
Shen Jue's eyes swept away, but he didn't feel angry, "From now on, Xiahou Lin will change his name to Shen Lin, and he will take over as the head of the eighteenth head of the East Factory. You must listen to his orders, do you understand?"
"Yes!"
"Okay, let's go after him, but you are not allowed to catch up." Shen Jue raised his hand.
Everyone said, "Well," and the footsteps went away one after another.
Turning to look at Shen Jue, it happened to meet Shen Jue's gaze. Shen Jue didn't ask him why he wanted to let the assassin go, only let Shen Wenxing come forward. Shen Wenxing was holding a knife in his hand. The scabbard was originally black, but it was darkened even more by the fire. It looked like a fire stick, a bit shabby.
Shen Jue said: "The bliss fruit in the warehouse has been burned even with the garam, and there are only a few knives left. I think this is a bit interesting, and I will bring it here to show you."
Xia Houlin took the knife, pulled it out, and saw that the three-foot-long blade had a lotus pattern engraved on its mouth. Xia Houlin turned his wrist, and the blade reflected his sharp eyebrows, engraved with "stepping lotus".
"It's also a black knife." Xia Houlin said.
Shen Jue nodded, "It's also forged with iron from the Western Regions. Whose knife is this? Does anyone else in your Jialan use a black knife?"
Xia Houlin shook his head, "No more. This is a heart-killing knife. Why give it to me? Take it. Throw it away or put it in the warehouse, it's up to you." Xia Houlin returned the knife to Shen Wenxing.
Shen Jue knew, and asked Shen Wenxing to put away the knife and walk side by side with Xia Houlin before asking, "What happened just now?"
Xia Houlin told him about Tang Shiqi, only omitting the sentence that he was not at ease. I don't know why Seventeen would say that to Shen Jue, not at ease? He only had one bad life, Xia Houlin, and he had already given it to Shen Jue, so what else could he do. He remembered Shi Qing again, why did the kid who defected to Jia Lan come back? Caught back? Listening to the words of Seventeen, it seems that the person has changed. Xia Houlin felt worried, but there was nothing he could do for the time being.
After listening to it, Shen Jue pondered for a while, and asked Shen Wenxing to go on and spread the word, so that the factory guards of Datongwei screened all the dwarfs. Xia Houlin raised his head and saw him explaining things there. He just woke up with a few red marks on his face, and Xia Houlin actually saw how cute he was.
I can think that the director of the printing industry and the admiral of the East Factory is cute, and he is the only person in the world. Xia Houlin silently held down his restless heart and thought, it is he who is not at ease.
Snow covered the garden, walking on it rustled. There are ice hangers hanging from the trees, twinkling with light. They strolled side by side and stopped on the covered bridge. The pool water below was already frozen, thick and thick. Occasionally, they could see the shadows of fish passing by, and they disappeared suddenly, like a smear of ink swiped at will.
Shen Jue suddenly called out, "A-Long."
"Um?"
"In the future, I will learn how to pretend to be a fox and a tiger."
"Ah?" Xia Houlin didn't understand.
"If you meet someone who doesn't obey you in the future, you will use my name. If anyone can't get along with you, you will also report my name." Shen Jue squinted at him, stretched out his hand and tapped his forehead, "crawling If you can't even hold such a high seat, what's the point of me being the overseer?"
Fighting for a backer or something, I always feel that it is not something a man should do. Xia Houlin was a little embarrassed, and said "Oh" in a low voice.
While chatting some innocuous gossip, Shen Wenxing hurried over and said: "Godfather, the palace daughter of Jingyang Palace went to our Sili Supervisor to cry, saying that the girl of Linbeihou is really difficult to serve, and today I have another little girl. The eunuchs can't get out of bed, I beg you to transfer them away and go to the wine and vinegar situation to carry a large bag."
Shen Jue frowned and said, "If they want to adjust, they should go to the chief eunuch. Why are they looking for me?"
Shen Wenxing hesitated for a while and said, "Yes, the son will go back to them now."
Shen Wenxing hunched over and wanted to leave, but Shen Jue stopped him and said, "Forget it, since I've been begging on my head, it's not easy to just sit back and ignore it. Call someone to clean up that girl's Hou residence and let her move it back. Go to your own house. If you harm your own people, go to your own people. It's nothing to make trouble in the palace. It's only been two months, and when the weather warms up, let her go back to her fief."
Shen Wenxing smiled and said, "Okay, it's still a good-hearted godfather."
Shen Jue thought about it for a while, and then said, "By the way, let's check the origin of this girl, and how did she develop such a violent temperament. Her family is dead, and she is the only one left, I always feel a little weird."
Shen Wenxing said yes and withdrew.
