〖On March 19, the first year of Tongtai in Southern Chu, Li Shun, a valet of Zhe, chased and killed him for thousands of miles and killed the assassin in Jiangdu. The world knew it, and those who heard it were convinced. In the next few years, no one dared to take effect on Nie Jing.
— "The History of Chu in the Southern Dynasties: The Biography of Jiang Suiyun"〗
Poison Hand Evil Heart's expression changed, and he said coldly: "Li Shun, I also told you to serve by the side of the master, I didn't expect you to have the courage to chase after him."
Xiao Shunzi smiled slightly and said, "Master Hei, although we have never been masked, I know that Prince De is surrounded by someone like you, and you also know that there is me beside the son, and you are my mortal enemy when you assassinate the son. I'm not as good as you, and I'm here to see you off, not to mention, I'm afraid you're not as good as me."
Poison Hand Xie Xin froze in his heart, his name has not been used for many years, even Prince De didn't know it, and Xiao Shunzi didn't expect it to be revealed, but there was no trace of his expression, and he said lightly: "Li Shun, you are also Nan Chu's. The courtier, who has been on the side of the king all the year round and has received great graces, why did you betray your family, is it really so important to you? Even if you have a little wealth, it is not your turn. Wang Pianjia, don't you know the truth of loyalty and righteousness?"
When he said this, everyone who fell on the ground looked at Xiao Shunzi with contempt.
Xiao Shunzi was neither humble nor arrogant, and said indifferently: "The slave was born in a humble background, and he is a person who is more than a prisoner. If you say something ugly, in the palace, even cats and dogs are more noble than us, Master Hei, you are just a killer, no Did you also look down on the minions?" Speaking of which, Xiao Shunzi's expression became solemn, and his eyes shone even more, and he said word by word: "There is only one person in this world, who has never looked down on me, he sees me as a human being. I'm not a servant, the first time we met in the palace, the son is a new noble of Southern Chu, I'm just a little servant, but he values me like that, and they have been with me for several years. Ruyi, treat me like a father and a brother, teach me to read and teach me the etiquette, treat me like flesh and blood, in this life, only the son is worthy of my allegiance, Nanchu treats me with no kindness, and the black master blames each other with righteousness, so I will ask the last question , Young Master is worthy of Nan Chu, but is Nan Chu worthy of Young Master?"
The poisonous hand was silent, how could he not know Jiang Zhe's credit, but in the end he was dismissed from office and sent to office, and he went to assassinate him himself, no matter what.
Xiao Shunzi did not continue to ask questions, but said coldly: "I know that Lord Hei has been ordered by the prince, so everyone is their own master. The prince doesn't hate the prince for being ruthless, but he can't let you survive in Southern Chu, so I'm sorry. , today I want you to die Dayong."
At this moment, Qiao Yan'er, who couldn't move, said angrily, "What a big tone, I don't know how high the sky is."
As soon as these words came out, even the evil hand evil heart looked at her with a strange expression. The current situation is clearly that Xiao Shunzi is on the side of these young people. If Xiao Shunzi can't win, I am afraid that anyone will be killed. , Why did Qiao Yan'er speak like this instead? In fact, Qiao Yan'er felt that she was wrong as soon as she said it, but she was so strong by nature that she was inexplicably caught in a plot. Xiao Shunzi's sudden appearance saved herself and others, but made her feel dissatisfied. Seeing that everyone's eyes fell on her, she couldn't help but said: "Why, can't people say it?"
Everyone looked away to avoid laughing out loud, but Xiao Shunzi's expression was still cold. He didn't like Qiao Yan'er and the others. They were all enemies of the young master. It would be nice to kill them all if possible. , if it weren't for the fact that he would definitely be known to everyone this time, so he couldn't fall into the trap, I'm afraid he would kill these people with his own hands.
Looking at Kuzhuzi, Xiao Shunzi's eyes became a little softer, and he said, "Bitter Zhuzi, you should have been executed today, but my son wants someone to take it back. Since your identity has been exposed, this matter I'll leave it to you."
Kuzhuzi didn't laugh at him. He started looking for his flaws as soon as Xiao Shunzi appeared, but even though Xiao Shunzi just stood there simply, he couldn't see any flaws in his whole body.
Looking at the sky, Xiao Shunzi sighed: "The fog has lost the building, and the moon is lost in Jindu. It's such a charming scenery, but it's a pity that you can't see it again, Lord Hei." After that, his figure seemed to be illusory to the poisonous hand. Xie Xin rushed away, the poisonous hand Xie Xin also knew that life and death were in this battle, and stood up to meet them, their bodies were like eagles spreading their wings. The palm techniques are extremely dexterous and secretive. The dozen or so moves attack each other, and they are all inevitable rescues from attacking the enemy. They turn at the touch of a button, but they don't really meet. , It is dazzling to see, although there is no sound, but the murderous palm wind overflowing from the place where the two are fighting is getting heavier and heavier. While standing, Xiao Shunzi looked indifferent, but the evil hands and evil hearts were ashen, and the corset was torn, revealing several wounds similar to claw marks. At first sight, they knew that he had lost the wind. Although the two stood silently, but the two The tension between them was like a bowstring being pulled tighter and tighter, and finally the poisonous hand and evil heart couldn't bear it any longer.
The three girls saw it from a distance and exclaimed: "This is the third change in the Dafa of the disintegration of the demons, and the skill has been increased tenfold. Be careful, Your Excellency."
Xiao Shunzi smiled coldly and said, "Although the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Dafa has increased its power, it will cause endless troubles. You use it twice in less than two months. It seems that even if you return to Nanchu, your life will not be long."
The poisonous hand evil heart said coldly: "Although your master is incomparable in wisdom, but without your protection, I am afraid that the goshawk will also have broken wings. Although he cannot kill him this time, he will take your life and cut off his arm. It will be easier to stab in the future.”
Xiao Shunzi's complexion became ashen. He didn't expect that the evil hand was still trying to assassinate the son, and the murderous intention was even stronger in his eyes. At this time, the evil hand had already rushed forward. This time, the situation was very different. It seemed that Xiao Shunzi was beaten so hard They could only protect themselves by relying on their strange movements. After watching for a while, everyone closed their eyes, but because of the changing figures of the two, they felt dizzy. After another moment, Xiao Shunzi suddenly took a deep breath of infuriating qi, and immediately his body was as light as a feather. Following the wind of Poison Hand Xie Xin's palm, he retreated, suddenly rising, and then counterattacked. Blocking the attack, but unexpectedly, Xiao Shunzi's figure turned out of thin air and fell behind him, a pale palm pressed against his back, and the poisonous hand Xie Xin only felt a femininity and cold zhenqi pouring into his body. He used all his inner strength to resist, but the infuriating qi became fiery like fire, pouring into his meridians, the poisonous hand and evil heart could not help screaming, and staggered forward and fell to the ground. Bamboo came downwind from the boat. Xiao Shunzi had already exhausted his true strength, but he seemed to be a god, and his body turned strangely to meet him. Although Kuzhuzi was the best in the world in water kung fu, his palm technique The internal strength is still far from bad. If he didn't want to use him to isolate the possibility of escaping the Poison Hand Evil Heart by water, he would not have the opportunity to be invited to join the siege of the Poison Hand Evil Heart. Xiao Shunzi had already defeated Kuzhuzi with just three moves and two moves. Kuzhuzi retreated to the riverside, but he was in a dilemma.
At this time, the poisonous hand Xie Xin already had strength, he barely stood up, and smiled bitterly: "Eunuch Shun is really strong in martial arts, Jiang Zhe is fortunate to have such a master as a slave."
Xiao Shunzi smiled lightly and said, "It should be said that Li Shun is fortunate to be able to get the son's love and follow him. Now that your life is on the verge of death, I don't know if you have any last words to tell me."
Poison Hand Evil Heart naturally knew that his heart was broken, but he was just lingering on the pure power, he didn't have a trace of fear in his heart, he smiled and said: "I know what Eunuch Shun wants to ask, isn't it who saved my life? Tell me bluntly, that person is Qin Qing, and he is the murderer who shot Jiang Zhe."
Xiao Shunzi said coldly, "Don't you have anyone else to blame?"
Poisonous hand jumped in his heart, but still said: "I am a native of Chu, why should I open my eyes for Dayong, so it is true, it is Qin Qing."
Xiao Shunzi said lightly: "I should have used punishment to force you to tell the truth, but now you are dying in an instant, that's all, you can go live. I saw the prince under Jiuquan, please send my regards to my son." A gift. Poison Hand Xie Xin relaxed and fell to the ground softly. At this time, Xiao Shunzi suddenly asked, "Which one is better in martial arts, Pei Yun or Xiahou Yuanfeng?" Jue, changed his mind and said: "Xiahou Yuanfeng has never fought, I don't know the depth."
Xiao Shunzi glanced at him lightly, and said, "Bitter Bamboo, please tell Mr. Rong and Lord Lu on behalf of my son. Although the son was indebted to Nan Chu in the past, he still feels guilty when he thinks of his old relationship. No matter how ruthless Chu is, it will be a stranger when we meet on the battlefield in the future." After speaking, his figure flashed, and in a flash, he was several meters away, and disappeared into the night in an instant.
Ku Zhuzi's expression relaxed, and he stepped forward to investigate. Poison Hand Evil Heart was dead, and there was no breath anymore. With a tired smile on his face, as if he had put down a heavy burden, he picked up Poison Hand Evil Heart's corpse and looked at the weak enemy on the ground. Knowing that if he killed them, he must have offended Li Shun greatly, so he sighed slightly, got on the boat, took the oar, and floated away. His boat had just disappeared into the reed bushes on the other side, and the third girl from Fengyi Sect, who had the deepest skills, was already able to move. She stood up and gave everyone the secret antidote to the fragrance. Although the medicine was not symptomatic, it was also It worked, and it didn't take long for everyone to get up.
The seventh girl exclaimed: "Third sister, I never imagined that there are such young masters in the world. Even the eldest sister and the ninth sister will not easily beat him."
Although Duanmuqiu and the others looked ashamed, they all nodded in agreement.
The three girls showed a sympathetic look on their faces: "You only know that his martial arts are strong, but you don't know the heavy price this person has paid. Listening to their conversation, this person is from an eunuch, so there is only one kind of martial arts in the world that can make him so powerful. , is the long-lost Sunflower Collection, I just don’t know if he mutilated his body to practice this kind of martial arts, or he practiced this kind of martial arts after he became a eunuch. Alas, although this kind of martial arts is exquisite and profound, his temperament after practicing it It will inevitably become cruel and cruel, and there is such a person in the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that it will be a big disaster after all."
Although Qiao Yaner was rude just now, she was grateful for Xiao Shunzi's life-saving grace after all, so she retorted: "Sister Ming is too worried, since this person is here to avenge his master, then he is the number one talent in Nanchu. Jiang Zhe's servant, although his concubine and Mr. Jiang have never been veiled, but also know that he is elegant and talented, how can his servant endanger the world?"
The third girl sighed: "That's it, the concubine is uneasy. Although this person is scary, he is only a warrior, and Jiang Zhe is a national scholar. The two complement each other. I am afraid that the Dayong Dynasty will be uneasy. This time I will go back to Master. Mingming, if things get out of hand in the future, I am afraid that only her old man can save the situation."
Everyone heard it and felt reasonable. The leader of Fengyi Sect, Qun Lun, really had far-reaching knowledge.
Everyone cherished each other and left without mentioning each other. Although this battle did not spread to the people, there are many people in the court and the opposition, and the evil hand is a master in Southern Chu. This time, he assassinated "Successful" in the Yongwang Mansion, and he fought thousands of miles away and escaped from Dayong. Shunzi defeated the enemy in one fell swoop and immediately became a figure in the attention of all parties. If it weren't for his embarrassing background, he would have been qualified to challenge the throne of Dayong's number one young master. But at this moment, he didn't have this knowledge yet. He thought to himself that Xiahou Yuanfeng was more suspicious, but I was afraid that the young master would not allow me to kill him. Why don't I kill him first, as long as no one sees it, who knows it's me? Therefore, Xiao Shunzi didn't contact the people from Prince Yong's Mansion, and rushed to Chang'an day and night. In just a few days, he had already returned to Chang'an. After a little modification, he chose one night and went directly to Xiahou Yuanfeng's mansion, knowing that today Xiahou Yuanfeng should have no errands, so he plans to go directly to the inner house to assassinate. Who knew that just as he approached Xiahou Mansion, a figure stopped him. He was about to take action when the man lifted his hat, revealing a slightly childish face. That man was Chi Ji, the head of the Eight Horses of the Secret Camp, Xiao Shun. Zi's face sank, and he was about to ignore it.
Chi Ji hurriedly said: "My subordinates have been ordered by the son to wait for Master Li here. The son said, Master Li must not be reckless. Go back and see him first."
Xiao Shunzi's expression was icy cold, and he didn't say a word. Chi Ji had to continue: "Young Master said, if Master Li doesn't go back now, he won't go back in the future."
Xiao Shunzi clenched his fists. He naturally knew that Jiang Zhe would never say that casually. It seemed that he really had to go back. He glanced in the direction of Xiahou Mansion and turned away.
Chi Ji quickly pulled down her hat, and her figure quickly disappeared into the night.
He hurried back to Prince Yong's Mansion, Xiao Shunzi didn't wash up, he went directly to the cold garden, and seeing the newly elected guards surrounded the place, he felt a little relieved and walked into Jiang Zhe's room, only to see him lying on the soft couch. He was in a leisurely manner, where he was reciting and reading the Book of Poetry, while Rou Lan, who had not seen him for a long time, leaned beside him and seemed to be fascinated.
Xiao Shunzi only felt that his mood was relieved all of a sudden, that's all, if he didn't kill Xiahou Yuanfeng now, could the son still make him feel better? He stepped forward to give him a deep bow, and he said, "The servant is back, I apologize to the son, after the servant Don't dare to act rashly."
I put down the scroll, looked at Xiao Shunzi, who was in the dust, and said, "You have worked hard, sit down first, do you know why I knew you went to Xiahou Yuanfeng's mansion?"
Xiao Shunzi said suspiciously: "The servant is also suspicious. How does the young master know my whereabouts? Even if those who witnessed it listened to my words, they may not have time to spread it out."
I smiled bitterly and said: "Yesterday, Xiahou Yuanfeng came to visit in person and apologized to me, saying that he did come to Hanyuan that day, but he was not the one who killed him, he just took away the evil heart, because he shot me a Arrow's identity is noble, he didn't dare to come forward to stop him, he just wanted to know some inside information, but he didn't want to say anything, and he took the opportunity to escape."
Xiao Shunzi was stunned, and after a while, he said, "Isn't that only Li Hanyou left?"
I smiled lightly and said, "I originally suspected that the stabbing person was like spring water, with slender hands, and I was afraid that it was a woman, but I didn't expect Xiahou Yuanfeng to be present, presumably there were only three people who came to assassinate that day. For the sake of Prince De, there is no need to worry about it. Xiahou Yuanfeng is the closest to the prince. Presumably the prince does not want to trouble Fengyimen for such a thing. I am afraid that Xiahou Yuanfeng was sent by the prince, but he caught up with the prince. Fengyimen had murderous intentions against me. Princess Qi hid the bow and arrow first, and Li Hanyou shot it herself, so Xiahou Yuanfeng didn't shoot it that day. I think, if Xiahou Yuanfeng was really the archery person, I'm afraid he would have killed the poisonous hand Xiexin long ago. Silenced. However, why did Fengyimen want to kill me, could it be because of that incident."
Xiao Shunzi's expression changed, and he said, "Young Master, Fengyimen is eyeing you, now we have to be more careful."
I shook my head lightly and said, "It's okay, they won't be able to assassinate them this time. If the sect master Fengyi is really as arrogant as the legends say, then they won't assassinate me again. If they can't deal with me in other ways, their reputation will be damaged. After all, if I die now, I'm afraid everyone will know that Fengyi's family did it. I think my safety is safe for the time being, but I have to beware of their other means. Now that I am seriously injured, I can avoid their swords. As Feng pointed out, it's your reputation that stands out, so be careful."
Xiao Shunzi nodded and said, "Young master is right, but slaves will be careful."
I stretched my waist and said, "You're right, I'm tired, you can send Rou Lan back."
Xiao Shunzi said quickly, "Young Master, I acted recklessly, you haven't punished me yet?"
I said lazily: "Okay, I'll punish you. By the way, I want to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake, so I will punish you to buy a good box of sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus cake, the kind I used to love." I was half asleep. , completely unaware of what I'm talking about.
Xiao Shunzi was stunned. Osmanthus cake, the most famous snack in Nanchu Jianye, how can you eat it here, even if you go back to Jianye and buy it, it is not new.
He walked out of the door in a daze. At this time, Zhou Wu, the captain of the fifty guards, came over. Seeing his strange expression, he asked: "Master Li, what's the matter, but do you have any instructions?"
Xiao Shunzi said in distress, "How can I buy osmanthus cake?" Zhou Wu was stunned, and murmured, "Osmanthus cake." Xiao Shunzi had already walked away with Rou Lan in his arms.
