Chapter 185: Overlord4,800 words(1/3)
After the martial arts conference held at Zangjian Villa came to an end.
Shortly after the painting appreciation party started.
In the dark night, a group of people walked quickly on the winding mud road.
They were heading in the direction of Hidden Sword Villa.
There were more than twenty people on this trip.
Among them, there were more than ten people divided into two columns, riding horses in an orderly manner. They were wearing gorgeous splendid blue robes with flying swallow patterns embroidered on them. Each of them carried two long swords on their backs. One long sword and one long sword. The short one is three feet and six feet long, and the short one is only two feet short.
The two swords are equipped with vermilion tassels, which flutter in the wind.
The waistband of Feiyan suit is uniformly equipped with a waist tag, and the waist tag is engraved with the word "mi".
Feiyan clothes, long and short swords, and the word "mi" sign. These three characteristics highlight the identity of this group of people - secret factory.
After the demise of the Dasheng Dynasty, the Daqian Dynasty emerged to replace it.
Dugu Xiang told Qing Mimi how to leave the villa in one breath. Fatty Jiang was dumbfounded. He stood there for a moment and then became overjoyed. He quickly took out a pen and paper from his arms, wetted it on the tip of his tongue, and jotted it down quickly.
"Well done!"
Dugu Xiang walked up: "Dugu will deal with the people in the secret factory. For the sake of business, they will not make things difficult for me. It takes ten days to go to Bashan. It will be at the foot of Bashan in fifteen days." Let’s get together, with Bai Xiaosheng’s ability, it shouldn’t be difficult to find us.”
The person carrying the sedan said in a low voice: "Master Governor, it is better to go early than to go wisely."
The governor who was hiding in the sedan suddenly asked a question. Although his voice was small, it spread far in the night, like a basin of ice water being poured down.
After dozens of steps away, the panicked horse gradually calmed down.
The other person's face is pale, with extraordinary handsome features, but there is a feminine temperament. If it were not for the male disguise, this face would be indistinguishable from male to female.
When Bai Xiaosheng heard this, he smiled without surprise.
The person in the sedan chuckled lightly, lifted the curtain, stretched out a white and slender finger, and pointed at a mountain.
However, the secret factory's behavior has always been arrogant and domineering, and it is not directed at any one person. Several people looked at each other for a while, and the iron lady raised her hand to signal her friends to be silent and stop talking nonsense. We are idle knights in the world, we have not violated the king's laws, we are not wanted, we are completely innocent, I wonder why the adults stopped us?"
"Just now, who said 'the court's lackey'?"
The governor smiled and popped out another leaf.
Shortly after Bai Xiaosheng and Cheng Xiao left.
"It's a secret factory!"
At this time.
"Stop talking! They're close!"
A group of people from the secret factory boarded the Hidden Sword Villa.
The secret factory did not kill them all. After killing two people, they rode away.
At this time, Dugu Xiang moved out of his supporters in the court.
"It's a secret factory!"
"Don't move around, it's not good to live."
Xie Luohe didn't look back and replied with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just a 'feeling', which is a pity."
Bai Xiaosheng reluctantly moved away from several paintings. When Cheng Xiao put away his share, Bai Xiaosheng was the first to slip into the secret passage.
Asking for directions?
As soon as the person in the sedan chair, known as the "Governor", finished speaking, more than a dozen "Secret Guards" dispersed on horseback, blocking the way forward and stopping the six people moving forward.
Dugu Xiang clasped his fists and bowed in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, staring at the airtight curtain on the sedan. The curtain was tightly closed, but it gave Dugu Xiang a strange uneasy feeling, as if there was something scary hidden inside.
But when the governor said these words, another person covered his mouth and nose, opened and closed his teeth, and involuntarily made a strange sound from his fingers, "I'm sooooo...".
"The secret factory is working, stop immediately! Otherwise, we will kill without mercy!"
"Then who said the word 'unlucky'?"
"Xiao Tao, put the painting away." After Xie Luohe ordered, he sighed softly: "What a pity."
The horse's hooves splashed mud in the dark night and galloped forward.
"Good work."
Zheng Xiu's eyes were focused, and he waved the Luohe pen to block the incoming leaves one by one.
Because of their "business", their family naturally had a certain relationship with the Ministry of War.
"He's a lackey of the imperial court!"
Xie Luohe covered his mouth and smiled: "Perhaps, one day, you will be happy about this."
"Why is your mother so unlucky!"
"Absolutely impossible."
After daybreak, I looked for some horses and planned to set off for Bashan.
"Haha, who can say for sure."
When the second knight was killed by Ye Zi, the horses underneath the four Iron Lady foamed at the mouth one after another, knelt on the ground and rolled around in panic, throwing the people off the horses.
Dugu Xiang added: "The Dugu family has close contacts with the Department of War and Treasury. I hope you will be aware of this."
Zheng Xiu nodded: "That's natural."
The rapid sound of horse hooves came from afar. Six people rode together and met Mi Chang and his party on a narrow road.
The Iron Lady raised her index finger and said in her eyes: hurry up and don't get in trouble.
Xie Luohe suddenly stopped, took out the long bow behind him, and at the same time shouted to Zheng Xiu: "Protect Xiaotao, the enemy is coming from the southeast, on the mountain!"
The four of them were also dressed in Feiyan robes, carrying a sedan on their shoulders, lifting the weight as if it were light. They walked on the muddy road as if they were on the ground, and ran faster than a horse.
"No!"
Xie Luohe spoke very fast, but Zheng Xiu was considered experienced in many battles and did not talk nonsense. He pulled Xiaotao behind him, faced the southeast, bit his finger, and the red light on the tip of Luohe's pen painted the ground as a prison, surrounding the three of them in a circle.
The governor smiled lightly: "That's right, you will be rewarded when you go back."
What is the governor of the secret factory doing at Hidden Sword Villa?
The Iron Lady and her group of six people passed by the secret guards.
Before Dugu Xiang could finish his last sentence, he was so shocked that he covered his mouth and nose. The next moment, Dugu Xiang punched his heart hard and spit out a mouthful of blood. The action of spitting blood stopped the words he blurted out.
In the sky, I saw a person flying across the treetops, as if walking on the ground. This person was wearing a crown, a green flying swallow suit with a collar, and his pure white mink fur was particularly eye-catching.
Ten steps closer, the man opened his hands, his long sleeves bulged, and fell straight down like a flying kite gliding.
"call--"
"Walk."
There are rumors in the world that that man is so ruthless, how can he be so easy to talk to?
"Thank you, sir!"
A soft and cold voice came from the sedan, and it was difficult to tell the male and female.
The man in the sedan chair was actually called "The Governor" by the secret guards?
In the entire secret factory, there is only one person who can be called the governor, so the identity of the person in the sedan chair is already obvious.
The man in the sedan asked again.
…
The martial arts knights had never seen such a weird thing before. Iron Lady, including the Iron Lady, noticed the strangeness. When Pei Ru fell from the horse, the remaining five people tightly covered their mouths and noses.
The Iron Lady held the horse rope hard. For some reason, when the people from the secret factory appeared, the horses were particularly panicked and panting heavily, which was different from the past.
In the secret passage, Zheng Xiu looked at the back of Xie Luohe who was walking in front. Seeing that Xie Luohe had no intention of actively explaining, he couldn't help but ask: "You just said it was a pity, what's the pity?"
Zheng Xiu: "Feeling?"
"The martial arts tournament is over?"
At the beginning of the dynasty, in order to stabilize the court and supervise the subjects, the emperor set up a "secret investigation factory", referred to as the "secret investigation factory". It was only responsible to the emperor and had special privileges. He could investigate the subjects at will and had great power in the court:
Arrest first and then interrogate. After interrogation, report again. If there is no refutation, kill immediately.
Xie Luohe, Xiaotao, and Zheng Xiu walked downstream along the river.
The gatekeeper disciple of Hidden Sword Villa changed his face when he heard the name of "Secret Factory", but he quickly calmed down.
The expressions of Iron Lady and the others suddenly changed, but beside Iron Lady, a knight, for some unknown reason, actually raised his hand and admitted loudly: "Me! Pei Rushi!"
Just when a few people were thinking of leaving quickly.
Zheng Xiu: "?"
"Then it's settled!"
But they had countless doubts in their hearts. Didn't that person live in seclusion and live far away in the imperial city? How could he come to Hidden Sword Villa despite the long distance? Looking at the direction he came from, it was clear that he came from the south, not the northern capital.
