The footsteps stopped in front of the door, and after a while, a pleasant voice said, "See you Xiahou Yuanfeng."
I was shocked, I glanced at Dong Que, a dagger was quietly falling on his right hand, I sighed in my heart, if Xiao Shunzi was there, Xiahou Yuanfeng could easily hold it, but if Dong Que, I'm afraid it won't work. According to Xiao Shunzi's estimation, Dong Que's martial arts are only second-rate. Although he is much stronger than before, if he uses weapons, I'm afraid it won't work. Let him stay to protect me except that others are not suitable. , and another reason is that he is good at a lot of robbery skills. This is where I rely on him. Anyway, if it is a real knife and real gun fight, it is useless even if Xiao Shunzi is there. So I simply used Dong Que, but now it's a dilemma.
I winked and said, "Master Xiahou, please come in."
The door opened, and Xiahou Yuanfeng was dressed in a yellow guard uniform. After walking in, he bowed and said, "Since the last time he was spared his life, Xiahou no longer misses his lord all the time."
I said coldly: "Master Xiahou is serious, the last time I was told about the real murderer who assassinated Zhe, this is the kindness of the master, how can Jiang repay the revenge, and now the master controls Jiang's life and death, I don't know what happened What else is there to mention?"
Xiahou Yuanfeng smiled, making him look even more prosperous. He said, "Wei Ying and others are not bad at all, but this kind of thing is a little lacking. If Xiahou presides over the search, he must send someone to monitor him for a long time to beware of anyone. Hide in the dark, or come back here."
Dong Que frowned, he also understood this truth, but time was running out, and he was worried that it would be harmful to point Jiang Zhe's acupoints for too long.
Xiahou Yuanfeng's expression became even softer when he saw this, his eyes fell on the secret order of Lingpa on the bookcase, and he said lightly: "Excuse me, Mr. Jiang, I don't know how to discuss with the princess. In fact, although King Yong is temporarily out of danger, Wen Ziyan is on the way. Chase and kill, if there is no reinforcements, King Yong will be caught in a trap sooner or later, and the lower officials also want to know how Master Jiang can turn the tide, so as to live up to the status of King Yong’s chief think tank?”
My expression gradually calmed down. If things really came to an emergency, I always became more and more calm. I picked a chair and sat down. I smiled and said, "Master Xiahou is the confidant of the crown prince, why didn't you bring the guards and the imperial army to take Jiang Mou? Caught, this is a great achievement."
Xiahou Yuanfeng smiled and said: "Now the prince relies on Fengyi's door, even if Fengyi's doorkeeper Lu Shaofu was placed under house arrest, the prince did not dare to ask, even if I made a great contribution, it would be of no use, let alone, the evil shadow is still alive, If I dedicate you to the prince, I am afraid that this life will be lost in a few days."
I wondered in my heart, this was not the reason for him to let me go, the time was tight, and I did not want to entangle with him, so I said, "Although Xiao Shunzi is highly skilled in martial arts, he is just a person, Lord Xiahou will be a high official in the future, Are you still afraid of what he will do? But I don't know what Lord Xiahou wants Jiang to do for you?"
A look of joy flashed between Xiahou Yuanfeng's brows and said, "My request is very simple. If Lord Jiang is willing to give up his love and give me the evil shadow as a slave, Xiahou must have tried his best to save his life today."
I just felt a bang in my head, and I almost lost my mind. Fortunately, Dong Que pushed me in time. I held back my anger and said, "Although Xiao Shunzi and I are called master and servant, we are in the same flesh and blood, Lord Xiahou. That's too much of a request."
Xiahou Yuanfeng smiled and said: "Xie Ying treats Lord Jiang like a father and brother, and he is loyal. Xiahou is very envious. I think if Lord Jiang is under my hands, Xie Ying will also obey me."
I said coldly: "Master Xiahou, you are too proud, but you shouldn't have come by yourself."
Xiahou Yuanfeng glanced at Dong Que, shook his head and said, "He is not my opponent, if I didn't know that Li Shun was protecting King Yong and escaped, I wouldn't dare to catch you alone. You hand it over to the prince and Fengyimen, Jiang Da's talents are very intelligent, and Xiahou also wants to listen to the teachings respectfully."
At this moment, Dong Que suddenly shot, and a ray of cold light stabbed at Xiahou Yuanfeng, but Xiahou Yuanfeng was not in a hurry and greeted him with his sword. The two were fighting together, their figures intertwined in the dormitory, the sword light was like a meteor and lightning, both of them did not want to disturb others, so they were very restrained. It didn't take long for Dong Que to gradually lose the match, and his strength was not in martial arts. On top, there is no chance of winning against someone like Xiahou whose martial arts are much higher than him.
After a few more moves, Xiahou Yuanfeng had already pierced Dong Que's thigh with a sword. The moment Dong Que fell to the ground, at this moment, out of the corner of Xiahou Yuanfeng's eyes, he saw a short sword in Jiang Zhe's hand. , was stabbing at his heart, and in a hurry, he hurriedly flew towards Jiang Zhe. For him, Jiang Zhe could not die. Just at this critical moment, he suddenly saw a cluster of cold lights shoot from Jiang Zhe's waist. Xiahou Yuanfeng was shocked and was about to avoid it, but people were in the air and could not be avoided, and the cluster of cold lights not only It was faster than the streamer, and the angle was very tricky. Although Xiahou Yuanfeng tried his best to avoid it, he still had a small half shot in his body. Xiahou Yuanfeng slapped his palm subconsciously, and Jiang Zhe fell backwards. Xiahou Yuanfeng felt weak and weak, and fell to the ground. At this time, Dong Que rushed over in panic and leaned over to see Jiang Zhe's situation.
I woke up leisurely and saw Dong Que's terrified look, and said in a low voice, "I have nothing to do, has anyone caught me?"
Dong Que said with a smile: "Young master's hidden weapon is really powerful, and Xiahou Yuanfeng couldn't move it immediately after being hit."
I breathed a sigh of relief, and I was thinking about how to get out of this predicament, because I understand that Dong Que is not Xiahou Yuanfeng's opponent, the only opportunity is for Xiahou Yuanfeng to come alone, I'm not a fool, Xiao Shunzi His martial arts talents are rare in the world. Such a talent is subordinate to me. I don’t know how many people are upset for him, and I don’t know how many people want to recruit him. I actually wanted to hit him, but because of this, he couldn't hand me over to Fengyi Sect. Since he came alone, as long as he was restrained, I would be safe, but this is also The hardest thing is, how can I, a weak scholar with no power, control a superb master
Fortunately, I finally figured out a way. Since he wanted something, he couldn't let me kill myself, so when Dong Que was defeated, I raised my sword and killed myself. For him, this is in line with me, the chief of King Yong. As a counselor, I would rather die than shame, so he flew to save me, even if he shot down my dagger in other ways, he would definitely rush over to stop me, and I took this opportunity to hide the jade belt around my waist. The poisonous needles were shot out. The poisonous needles were originally quenched with blood-seal throat, but a few days ago, I put on a kind of anesthetic that I just prepared, which can make people fall softly between breaths, but only The time limit is very short. Of course, I still encountered the imaginary danger. Xiahou Yuanfeng hit me with a counterattack. Fortunately, he almost lost all of his strength at that time, so I saved my life.
I stood up and looked at Xiahou Yuanfeng, who looked a little ferocious. I was still a little worried. My beloved hairpin made of black iron has been given to Xiao Shunzi. He usually doesn't use weapons, but for his sake. Safety, when I broke through the siege last night, I gave him the hairpin, which is a more powerful weapon for him than anything else. So I took off the current three-point gold and seven-point fine iron hairpin, and the sharp hairpin pierced into several hidden points of Xiahou Yuanfeng. Now I can make sure that he can't fight back. Now I am in control of the situation. .
After a while, Xiahou Yuanfeng began to be able to move, but he could feel that all the strength in his body had been lost, he smiled bitterly, and said, "I never imagined that Master Jiang would have such means."
I said humbly: "This is really a villain's trick that can only be achieved by surprise."
Xiahou Yuanfeng looked calm, as if I was the prisoner now, he smiled and said, "I don't know how Mr. Jiang will deal with him. If the officer suddenly disappears, I'm afraid that some people will not let it go?"
I glanced at him lightly and said, "Don't worry, I will kill you and hide it in a secret cell, so that you don't have to worry about someone finding your body, maybe you will think you escaped privately? When King Yong is gone, some people may be very afraid." Hearing my words, Dong Que immediately went to open the hidden compartment on the bed. I said: "Dong Que, don't see the blood, lest the blood is too heavy and attracts the attention of others." Dong Que smiled and said, "The subordinates obey." After that, he pointed slowly towards Xiahou Yuanfeng's death point.
Xiahou Yuanfeng clearly knew that the two were deliberately trying to scare him, otherwise why would Jiang Zhe just ban his martial arts, but fear still rose from his heart, that Dong Que looked ruthless, and at first sight he would kill someone without blinking an eye. At this time, Jiang Zhe said again: "I have never killed anyone myself, so you should do it." At this time, Xiahou Yuanfeng couldn't bear it any longer. He knew that most of these advisors were the pursuit of gentlemen far away from the kitchen. If he really died like this, it would not be worth it. He broke down in cold sweat, and he exclaimed: "Mr. Jiang spared his life, the lower official is willing to surrender." But Jiang Zhe did not say a word, just smiled faintly, Dong Que's fingers got closer and closer, and finally pointed at Xiahou Yuanfeng's dead point. Xiahou Yuanfeng only felt his heart was cold and was about to shout when Dong Que had already reached out and covered his mouth. Feng only felt dizzy for a while, and after a while, he woke up, but it turned out that Dong Que only used two points of force on his fingers, so he did not kill Xiahou Yuanfeng, but Xiahou Yuanfeng was so scared that his face was pale, he had never been so close died.
I sat down and looked at Xiahou Yuanfeng, who was back to normal in an instant. I couldn't help but be amazed. This person is a talented person, with a deep mind, adapting to changes, flexible and stretched. Unfortunately, he is the prince's party. I look at him with some regret, it is not me now. When showing mercy, if there is the slightest mistake, then King Yong is really doomed.
Xiahou Yuanfeng saw Jiang Zhe's cold and regretful eyes, and his heart froze. Although he was scared to death just now, he could feel that Jiang Zhe was just venting his anger, but now, that kind of eyes seems to him He had to die, and hurriedly shouted: "Master Jiang, just don't want to reveal the assassin's kindness to you the next day, and please remember Yuanfeng's loyalty to the princess."
I wish I had already issued an order to kill, but after hearing what he said, I couldn't help but be taken aback, Xiahou Yuanfeng quickly said: "It was the lower official who told His Royal Highness Ming Fengyimen that there was a plan for the princess, the princess said that day. The palace is in danger, although it is not a subordinate to rescue, but if the princess had not prepared in advance, how could she be so lucky."
Hearing this, my heart softened. That day, the princess did inform me of Fengyimen's plan through Princess Yong, but both I and His Royal Highness King Yong thought that Fengyimen would use coercion and inducement, but I didn't expect them to use that. Despicable means, if Xiao Shunzi and I hadn’t arranged someone in advance, the princess would probably fall into the trap, but I still have to thank Xiahou Yuanfeng for his kindness. Looking at Xiahou Yuanfeng again, I sighed: “Master Xiahou, you It is indeed useful to the princess, but you also know the current situation, what can you use to convince me that it is worthwhile to let you go."
Xiahou Yuanfeng used his brains to think of a way to survive. It didn't take long for his eyes to fall on the desk, and Fang Lingpa's secret order, his eyes lit up, and said, "No one can deliver these things more conveniently except here. Going out, that is the secret order of the emperor, I think Her Royal Highness Princess Lan Xinhuizhi will never do useless things."
I said lightly: "You are very smart, but this matter is not your fault."
Xiahou Yuanfeng smiled and said: "Although the emperor's will and General Qin's military talisman have already been obtained, if you want to mobilize the army, someone must pass the decree. I don't know who His Royal Highness Prince Yong is beside the prince, but the prince can only It is inconvenient for Fengyimen to let the confidant pass the decree. Now the prince has not many confidants, and Lu Shaofu is the most. I am Lu Shaofu's nephew. Besides me, who else is more suitable for this. item work.
I frowned when I heard it, yes, although Zhang Jinxiong can ask to go, but he is not as legitimate as Xiahou Yuanfeng, but can I trust him? Looking at Xiahou Yuanfeng with doubtful eyes, at this time, there were several bird calls from outside, Dong Que's expression changed, and he looked at me and said, "Young Master?"
I knew that Zhang Jinxiong had arrived, so I nodded lightly.
Dong Que walked out. Under the moonlight, a big man with a brave appearance stood there. When he saw Dong Que, his expression widened and he said in a low voice, "I only have a moment before His Royal Highness Prince Lu and Shaofu Lu discussed that they should send Lord Xiahou went to pass the decree, and Zhang accompanied him to protect me, and I came out to find Lord Xiahou before I came here."
Dong Que's heart moved, and he said in a low voice, "General Manager Zhang, please wait for a while. Now that Xiahou Yuanfeng has been controlled by my son, my lord, please come to the side hall to speak."
Zhang Jinxiong was stunned for a moment, but he knew Xiahou Yuanfeng's martial arts. If the two fought, even if he would not lose, it would be difficult to win. Suiyun is more favorite.
The two entered the side hall, and Dong Que walked back to the princess' bedroom and whispered a few words in Jiang Zhe's ear.
After listening to it, I was very surprised. I didn’t know if it was God’s blessing. After thinking about it, I took out a few pills from the hidden compartment in the jade belt around my waist. Xiahou Yuanfeng said: "If you take this pill, I will believe that you are sincere. You should know that I am a descendant of a medical sage. This poison is not without an antidote, but it has not been ten days and a half months, and the antidote is not suitable. Okay, if you want glory and wealth, the crown prince can give it to you, and King Yong can also give it to you, but if you want your life, there is only one way to go."
Xiahou Yuanfeng hesitated for a while, but he was a decisive person, not to mention that if he didn't take this poison, it would be impossible to get out of Hanxiang Garden, so he immediately took the pill and took it. When I saw him take it, I said, "One more thing, since you and Fengyimen work together as the prince, then you can recognize Liang Wan." Xiahou Yuanfeng was stunned, and said: "The lower official recognizes it, but it is said that Miss Liang has already Destroyed his mind, although Fengyimen kept it a secret, but I heard Lu Shaofu say it."
I smiled lightly and said, "The one who poisoned Liang Wan with drugs that day was the one who went crazy."
Xiahou Yuanfeng's eyes widened, he looked at me in disbelief and said, "Impossible, did you already take refuge with King Yong at that time?"
I was stunned for a moment, immediately understood what he meant, and smiled: "This matter has nothing to do with His Royal Highness King Yong, Liang Wan is my wife's enemy, and I just deal with her for revenge."
Xiahou Yuanfeng felt a chill in his heart and looked at Jiang Zhe. At this moment, he really believed that Jiang Zhe had the ability to kill himself with just a few gestures, but instead he calmed down and said, "I don't know what else I can do here. ."
I was a little puzzled and said, "Why did Lord Xiahou say this? It seems that he is more concerned about this matter than Jiang Mou."
Xiahou Yuanfeng said with a smile: "Now that I'm already under the control of the adults, then I'm on the ship of His Royal Highness King Yong. Since this is the case, I naturally hope that the ship will be as stable as possible. It is best for me to take more credit, so as not to avoid In the future, there will be no chance to become an official or a noble."
I smiled reassuringly, if Xiahou Yuanfeng wanted to be promoted, I would be more at ease. I waved my hand to let Dong Que take the velvet handkerchief, and handed it to Xiahou Yuanfeng solemnly, Xiahou Yuanfeng also took it with a solemn expression, I bowed deeply and said, "This is the secret order of the sage, you must give it to General Qin Yong. , let General Qin Yong come to rescue King Qin." Xiahou Yuanfeng saluted: "Don't worry, sir, Xiahou will definitely live up to his trust, and His Royal Highness King Yong, please speak more kind words."
After Dong Que sent Xiahou Yuanfeng away, he came back and said, "Young Master, he really left."
I said to Dong Que, "Go and invite Director Zhang over here."
Looking at Zhang Jinxiong's back, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. If Xiahou Yuanfeng would not betray, then it would be safer. If Xiahou Yuanfeng disagreed, then he would not have thought that I had other messengers, so that I could Rest assured that Zhang Jinxiong is safe. Moreover, the ban I originally planned to place on Zhang Jinxiong has also been lifted. Since I want him to be the secret envoy, I have to show my trust in him. For the disciples who came from famous schools, this will make them do their best. With Xiahou Yuanfeng as the clear envoy, the secret envoy does not need to be strictly controlled. What's more, Zhang Jinxiong is more trustworthy after all. Whether it's his character or his division, the Kongtong faction has also been separated from Fengyimen. Not long ago, an important person in Kongtong secretly contacted Shaolin, expressed the intention of cooperation. Even if Xiahou Yuanfeng brings someone to arrest me right away, I don't have to worry anymore. As long as Qin Yong can be summoned, what is the importance of my safety? Besides, I believe that General Qin's jade pendant can make Qin Yong better than the emperor's secret decree. I believe, what's more, there are my preparations in advance. Feeling that all the energy in my body had dissipated, I lay down on the bed and thought, what can I do next? Anyway, I'd better stay here, so that Xiahou Yuanfeng will think that I trust him, and even if he betrays, he will not suspect that there are other messengers.
