The Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 27: Two masters

Views:

The stars are competing with the moon for brilliance, and they all sway their brilliance on the cold earth without hesitation. The wild grass is greedily sucking the aura of heaven and earth, and the dewdrops on the leaves reflect a quiet light circle, seeming to feed back the excess energy to the two people in need next to it. The unnamed bug uttered a low hum, and was instantly covered by the night wind. Only the occasional howling of a wolf in the distant Yanshan Mountain broke the tranquility of the night cruelly.

Zhu Youzhen finally recovered a bit of strength. He stood up slowly, observing the surroundings.

"His Royal Highness, let's go!" Wang Mujiu has been protecting Zhu You.

"En." It's time to go, it's not safe here. Fortunately, the horses were still there, Zhu Youjian and Wang Mujiu returned to the city on horseback.

Don't talk about the imperial city at this time, even the outer city can't enter. The city gate has long been closed. Unless there is an emergency military situation, it is possible to enter the city through special institutions such as the East Factory or Jinyiwei. Although Zhu Youjian is the King of Letters, he does not have these special powers.

"His Royal Highness, there is a friend of my subordinate outside the East City. There is a small hotel there. Let's go to Xixi and wait until dawn before returning." Wang Mujiu is more familiar than Zhu Youjian, both inside and outside the capital.

"Okay." Zhu Youjian's physical strength was severely overdrawn, and he had long wanted to find a place to sleep. If it wasn't a safety issue, he could sleep in the pigpen now.

The two called to open the door of the hotel, ate some noodles, didn't even wash their feet, and went to bed.

However, Zhu Youzhen couldn't sleep. Now Wang Mujiu was a useless person, and his magical powers were exhausted. It was the weakest time. If you encounter an assassin again, it will be a quail in a cage, and the assassin will kill it.

Wang Mujiu was already asleep, but Zhu Youzhen was sitting on the bed and practicing silently. I only practiced it once, and my magical skills are like bamboo shoots in spring, constantly emerging from unexpected places in my body, gradually converging into streams, which become more and more prosperous, and finally merge into a surging ocean. After practicing three times, Zhu Youjian felt that Wang Yang was heavier than before.

I was very sleepy just now, but now I don't feel sleepy anymore. But he could only practice magical skills three times a day, and Zhu Youjian had to lean on the bed and think about what happened today. Who is the murderer who assassinated himself

He couldn't find any clues, the assassin seemed to be an organization, leaving no clues, and he had not offended anyone. I don't know how long it took before the bored Zhu Youzhen fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, Wang Mujiu got up to go to the toilet. Suddenly heard a "boom", it seemed that a wall had collapsed. The sound was not loud at first, but in the quiet night, it was quite crippling. He quietly touched in the direction of the sound, it turned out to be a stable. Just when he arrived, another horse fell. Wang Mujiu rubbed his eyes, it was his horse. Is this a black shop? Or did the assassin catch up again

Wang Mujiu didn't dare to speak out, and returned quietly along the original road.

"His Royal Highness, wake up soon."

"What's the matter? Mu Jiu." Zhu Youjian felt as if he had just fallen asleep, could it be dawn

"His Royal Highness, the situation is not good." Wang Mujiu told Zhu Youjian what he had seen.

"Sure enough, it's not good." Zhu Youjian didn't answer, but a voice came from outside the door, "However, it's too late for you to know now." The door was kicked open, and two men in black entered side by side.

"Who are you? Why can't you get along with us?" Zhu Youxian asked as he got off the bed. He didn't expect to retreat with a few words. I don't know if the person here is with the original man in black, and how many people are lying in ambush outside. Now Wang Mujiu is disabled, and all the assassins must be solved by Zhu Youjian.

"Haha, if you want to know the answer, Lord Yan will tell you." The slightly sturdy man in black doesn't worry about people outside knowing it. It seems that the shopkeeper is theirs, or the shopkeeper has long been subdued by them.

"Do you know who I am?" Zhu Youjian expected that the other party had admitted the wrong person, so he would still have a chance.

"You are the same as everyone, you have only one result if you provoke us."

"We didn't provoke you?" Wang Mujiu still had to distinguish two sentences.

"Boy, it's up to you, I have the final say."

Wang Mujiu changed his left hand with a knife, and when he was about to come forward, Zhu Youjian held him, "You breathe first, I'll come."

"Don't worry, Lord Yan is waiting, it's the same for anyone first."

Words are no longer useful, only the real chapter can be seen on hand. Zhu Youjian performs magic skills silently and is ready at any time. When Wang Mujiu retreated, he yelled, and the saber slashed on the head of the man in black. It was the first trick of the Xuji sword technique, "full of gold and jade".

The man in black who had not spoken anxiously withdrew from the door, avoiding the blade, and the strong man in black was also surprised: "Boy, good skill."

The two men in black all avoided the door, Zhu Youjian chased them up, and the three of them fought together in the lobby outside the door. Zhu Youjian's magical skills are so powerful that the man in black dared not get too close. But he doesn't have any routines, and he has four tricks over and over again.

"The third child, how can this kid have four moves? How can you lose to such a person?" The sturdy man in black martial arts is obviously better than his companion, and he can do well in front of Zhu Youjian's magical skills. He was not in a hurry. As long as Zhu Youjian's true energy was exhausted, he would be a toothless sick tiger at that time. He didn't mind playing with such a sick tiger.

"Second brother be careful, his internal strength is too powerful." The man in black is Tang Cheng, one of the five masters of Jin Yiwei, and his second brother is also one of the five masters of Jin Yiwei, named Ji Peng.

It turned out that after Zhu Youqin pierced his mask, Tang Cheng was frustrated for a while, but he didn't know how to face the commander Tian Ergeng. He was wandering around and happened to meet his second child, Ji Peng.

Seeing Tang Cheng's dejected look, Ji Peng asked repeatedly, and Tang Chengcai told the story of the assassination failure. But this matter was too relevant. Tang Cheng didn't mention that the object of the assassination was Xin Wang Zhu Youjian, so Ji Peng still doesn't know who his opponent is.

Ji Peng has always been arrogant, and in martial arts, except for their boss, no one accepts. Hearing that Tang Cheng was defeated, we must look at the person who defeated Tang Cheng. It happened that Tang Cheng couldn't explain to Tian Ergeng, and Ji Peng's help might be able to save the defeat. So they chased Zhu Youjian's footsteps all the way, and finally found Zhu Youjian and Wang Mujiu in this small hotel.

"No matter how strong the internal strength is, there will be times. Third, let's not rush to spend with this kid." Ji Peng said lightly, but also secretly anxious. It turns out that it is such a young man, but he has such internal strength. . Fortunately, he doesn't have any moves. Otherwise, it's really possible that he will die.

"Okay, just follow the second brother's method. But hurry up, lest there will be more nights and dreams." Tang Cheng speeds up the attack, but leaves with one blow, making full use of the advantage of the pace to fight with Zhu Youjian. Never compete internally with Zhu Youjian.

Zhu Youzhen secretly cried out. Now Wang Mujiu is a useless person and can't help him at all. The two masters of the other side have seized the flaws in his magical skills. Over time, he must be exhausted.

Just after getting rid of a powerful enemy and falling into a tiger's mouth, Zhu Youjian was very unwilling. Finally, I had a crossing, and I didn't enjoy a good day, and just died in this unknown hotel.

On Wuling Mountain, I only heard that there was a risk, but didn't say that it would be fatal. Why is he so unlucky? It's more injustice than hanging himself in Jingshan. Thinking of this, Zhu Youjian's forehead broke into a cold sweat.

"The third child, this kid is dying, let's work harder." Ji Peng immediately noticed Zhu Youjian's changes, and his long sword suddenly accelerated the attack.

Suddenly, there was a noisy noise not far away, and there were a lot of horses' "Da Da" noises behind, and one person shouted: "Shuntian Mansion handles the case, and all idlers will avoid them."

The three of them turned their heads to watch, and sure enough they found a large number of lantern torches, and the dark government officials were rushing towards the hotel.

Tang Cheng was shocked: "In the middle of the night, what are you doing in Shuntian Mansion?"

"Follow him, take down this kid first." Ji Peng didn't care, they were Jinyiwei, and Shuntian Mansion couldn't control it.

"Second brother, no, Shuntian Mansion must be directed at us." Tang Cheng knew that the assassination of Zhu Youjian was of great importance. Although Shuntian Mansion could not control them, once Shuntian Mansion knew that Jin Yiwei was assassinating Zhu Youjian, he would Nine heads are not enough to cut. It doesn't matter if the assassination is unsuccessful, you must not reveal your identity.

With the arrival of Shuntian Mansion, Zhu Youjian was energetic, "Where to escape." He took a backhand, but it was the fifth move of the Xu Ji sword technique, "Qi Chong Yin Yang". It turned out that Zhu Youjian knew that he had few tricks, and sooner or later he would be seen through by the assassin. Anyway, he and the assassin depended on magic rather than tricks, so he only used the first four tricks. Now that the assassin wants to escape, it is the right time to use his tricks.

Ji Peng did not expect Zhu Youjian to leave a hand. He flashed past the blade, but was hit on the forehead by the air current that broke from the blade. Taking advantage of his daze, Zhu Youjian's saber went down, and Ji Peng's entire right arm was cut off at the root.

Tang Cheng ignored the broken arm on the ground and hurriedly pulled Ji Peng and disappeared into the night.

A noisy crowd poured into the hotel, and Zhu Youjian saw Wang Mujiu in the crowd.

"Mu Jiu, why are you here with Shuntian Mansion?"

"His Royal Highness, there is no Shuntian Mansion." Wang Mujiu smiled slyly at Zhu Youzhen.

"No, it's not..." Zhu Youjian found that something was wrong. He was too nervous just now and didn't observe carefully. Only now has he discovered that there is no such thing as a quick arrest? All the people who came were farmers, and some farmers didn't have their clothes fastened.

"I clearly heard the sound of horseshoes just now, where did the horse come from?" Zhu Youjian also felt strange.

"His Royal Highness, there are no horses, they are all people's cattle. Beat them with a whip to make the cattle run, and the night is quiet, just like the sound of a horse's hoof."

Zhu Youjian probably understood Wang Mujiu's intentions. Later, Wang Mujiu's narration was similar to his imagination.

It turned out that Wang Mujiu saw Zhu Youjian deal with the two men in black alone, but he could not help, so he sneaked out of the hotel and found his friends nearby. With the help of his friends, he mobilized the nearby people, pretending to be Shun. Tianfu catches the fugitive.

The people were originally timid, if they knew that the fugitive was Jin Yiwei, they wouldn't dare to show up. But Wang Mujiu told them that the fugitive was just a thief passing by, and he promised that the people who participated in the arrest of the fugitive would be paid one or two silver. Most of the people nearby were in dreams and did not understand the specific situation. If you run away, you can get a tael of silver, and many people will follow them with lanterns and torches in a daze.

Unexpectedly, this group of people really scared away the two masters of Jin Yiwei.
