Chapter 514 The Chain Knife Appears in the Song Dynasty
The man in the cloak didn't answer, but kept walking forward until he reached the edge of the imperial city, then disguised himself and revealed his true face in Lushan.
This man looks middle-aged, wearing the robes of an official, and he is not of high rank, but he has an outstanding appearance, is tall and powerful, and has a fluttering beard under his chin. If he wears a suit of armor and stomach, he will look like a majestic battlefield warrior.
.
Dong Yunzi even felt the masculinity of the other party's body, which made him, a Taoist who specializes in Taoism, uncomfortable. Fortunately, compared with the vast solidity of the previous one, the threat was much smaller after all.
Thinking that this person with a disabled body could practice to such an extent, it was already remarkable enough. Dong Yunzi did not relax his vigilance and hesitated to advance before retreating: "Do you want to kill me and silence me?"
When the internal official spoke, there was no sharpness in his voice, but a sense of forcefulness: "The Taoist Priest is joking. If I wanted to harm the Taoist Priest, I would have done it already in the Criminal Department. Why bother to rescue the Taoist Priest?"
Dong Yunzi said angrily: "The method of death is a very heavy responsibility, so this is your rescue? The poor Taoist has a hopeless future. If another Taoist friend comes here, how can he give up?"
The internal official apologized: "It's true that I didn't wait long enough, and it was also because Gongsun Zhao of the Kaifeng government office was so aggressive that he kept an eye on this thing, so I had to take this step..."
Dong Yunzi said coldly: "What about Gongsun Zhao? You can forget about the headache. Pindao came to Bianjing originally to clean up the family, but he ended up getting involved in the intrigues in your court. You promised to find that person before.
Come out and now you can fulfill your promise!"
The internal official said: "I have informed you before that the traitors from the Taoist Master's disciples fled into the Wuyou Cave. If you want to find them, the Kaifeng government office must come forward, and Gongsun Zhao must be removed!"
Dong Yunzi's face darkened.
The internal official continued: "This cold-faced judge named Gongsun Zhao appears to be fair and righteous, and has won praises from the people. But in fact, how can he be so dedicated to public service? He is simply despicable and hypocritical, shielding the Queen Mother's relatives. The tragic situation of the Zheng brothers and sisters before
, the Taoist priest also witnessed it with his own eyes, so Zheng Tao would rather commit suicide than kill the dog official!"
"This person bullies the weak and is afraid of the strong. He allows the criminals to escape into the Wuyou Cave in order to make the Kaifeng government office inseparable from him. The Taoist Master's traitor is actually being protected by this person!"
"In both public and private matters, the Taoist priest should kill Gongsun Zhao!"
Dong Yunzi snorted: "If I could kill him, Pindao would have killed this dog official that day. This man has good martial arts skills and has the methods left by the Imperial City Secretary in the past. He can't even trap the blood talisman array."
Keep him in check. With the vigilance last time, it will be more difficult to attack him. Can't you allocate more manpower?"
The internal official sighed: "The Taoist priest doesn't know that Gongsun Zhao is extremely cunning and swaying between the old and the new parties, making people from both parties have expectations for him. If I want to touch him, I will make enemies of the officials of the two parties.
It’s really difficult!”
Dong Yunzi frowned: "So, if Pindao assassinates this person and scares the snake, won't it cause an uproar?"
The internal officials were well prepared: "Don't worry, Taoist Priest. Yushitai also noticed something strange about this thief. Although he didn't catch any evidence, he didn't give Gongsun Zhao a chance to attack. He suppressed the assassination and the Ministry of Punishment closed it down early."
, there is also a good official, knowing that what the Taoist Master did was a just act, and deliberately cooperated."
Dong Yunzi said: "What do you mean?"
The internal official said: "Tomorrow afternoon, the Ministry of Punishment will carry out the execution. After hearing the news, Gongsun Zhao will definitely relax his vigilance. This is the best time for the Taoist Priest to take action again!"
Dong Yunzi said coldly: "Pindao just said that the last time he set up an ambush and had the advantage of the formation, he failed to capture Gongsun Zhao. If he tries to assassinate him again, how can he succeed?"
The internal official smiled and said, "Don't worry, Master Taoist. The preparations this time are naturally different. Do you know if you can master the art of wielding weapons?"
Dong Yunzi said proudly: "My Jinhua Mountain is one of the seventy-two blessed places of Taoism, and its teachings have a long history. Although the poor Taoist cannot teach the true teachings, he is also quite proficient in the way of controlling weapons!"
The internal official was overjoyed: "That's good, please wait a moment, Taoist Priest!"
He turned around and left, his steps seemed slow but fast, and he disappeared after a few flashes.
Dong Yunzi stood there and waited. Suddenly his brows moved, and he chanted a mantra: "The Qi is rising from the sky, supporting my body, holding the wind and walking! Get up!"
As the spell took effect, the breeze lifted his body and floated upward, and soon he saw a black shadow lying quietly on the palace wall.
Dong Yunzi faced the big blank eyes and suddenly said: "It turns out to be a raccoon slave. No wonder I feel like someone is watching... Alas, after being in prison for a long time, I have become suspicious!"
He fell back to the ground and dispersed the spell, but he didn't notice that in the big cat's eyes on the palace wall, the beast's confusion disappeared, replaced by human pride, and he continued to lie down and listen.
The internal officials came and went in a hurry, and soon returned with a package in their hands: "Taoist Master, this is the artifact that can kill Gongsun Zhao!"
Before Dong Yunzi took it, he felt his hair standing on end. When he unfolded it and looked at several dark spikes, his expression changed drastically: "The ghosts seek life, and hundreds of ghosts devour the heart. This is a weapon of the ghost.
Where did you get it?"
The official's eyes flashed: "I don't know the Taoist magic, so I don't know the origin of these magic weapons. I just bought them and said they have miraculous effects!"
Dong Yunzi snorted coldly: "This does have a miraculous effect. Just one stick will kill hundreds of people. A poor man will not use it."
The internal official's face darkened: "No need for Taoist priest?"
Dong Yunzi flicked his sleeves and said: "The Blood Talisman Array is already a forbidden curse of our sect, and ghostly objects are even more harmful to the heaven and earth. A poor Daoist will never control such an artifact!"
The internal official rolled his eyes and suddenly looked in the direction of the palace. His voice deliberately became a bit feminine: "The Taoist priest still remembers that I once said that when he was still in the feudal residence, he dreamed of the old gentleman telling you, 'You
Do you think you should use fate to promote my religion?"
Dong Yunzi's expression changed.
This internal official's appearance was so formidable that even the other party's identity was ignored.
The eunuch has access to that one!
You are destined to promote my religion!
Seeing these eight short words made Dong Yunzi's breathing quicken involuntarily. The internal official knew it was done and put the package into his hands: "Taoist Master Dongyun, the killing of Gongsun Zhao is related to the overall situation.
please!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wait until the internal officer is satisfied and leaves leisurely.
Outside the palace wall, Dong Yunzi was silent for a moment. After all, he bowed his head in homage and paid homage to the supreme being.
On the palace wall, the big cat slowly stood up and walked away quietly with elegant steps.
…
Lin Mansion.
Martial arts training ground.
When Shi Qian came here, he had a vague feeling that the moonlight here was particularly bright, and even the moonlight was attracted by his brother's figure and focused on it.
He showed sincere admiration and was mesmerized for a moment. It was not until Li Yan put away his gun that he woke up as if from a dream.
Li Yan looked over: "The Taoist priest in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment has been changed?"
Shi Qian said firmly: "Instead, I was watching them when they came out of Wuyou Cave. They entered the imperial city all the way and never came out after that."
Li Yan understood: "Well done, Xiao Hei will take over the internal situation of the imperial city."
He had a very clear division of labor between the two. If he was outside the imperial city, he would have Shi Qian to keep an eye on him; if he went to the palace, he would have Xiao Hei follow him.
The latter has the image of a cat as a disguise, making it harder to be discovered and more convenient for eavesdropping on conversations at close range.
Sure enough, after the two waited for less than half an hour, a black shadow jumped down, and Xiao Hei came in front of him, with an expression of great harvest on his face.
Li Yan unfolded the paper and was about to start recording, but Xiao Hei stretched out his paw and gestured to him.
Li Yan smiled slightly and actually handed the pen to it. Under Shi Qian's shocked gaze, Xiao Hei cleverly clamped the pen and began to draw on the paper.
At first it was not proficient enough, but fortunately after this period of systematic practice of the Nine Transformations of the Civet Cat, it became much better at controlling the intensity, and soon a simple portrait appeared on the paper.
It's definitely not possible to be as accurate as you want. It's like a child's graffiti, but it still has some image, especially the majestic tallness and the beard under the chin, which show the characteristics.
Shi Qian's expression had become somewhat numb, but surprisingly it was not too difficult to accept. Li Yan rubbed Xiao Hei's head with relief, looked at the portrait carefully, and had an idea.
It is not too surprising that the person behind Jinhuashan Taoist Priest is him. This person has not yet made his fortune, but he is a super celebrity in the Huizong Dynasty and is almost a household name in later generations.
Xiao Hei looked at the portrait, but was not satisfied with it, so he started waving his paws and meowing to describe it.
One person and one cat have the same mind. Li Yan also had a basic guess about the incident. After asking and guessing, it was quickly verified: "I don't know what Gongsun Zhao did to make the eunuch hate him to the bone. He must
Use the hands of this Taoist priest to kill him!"
Shi Qian had also heard of Gongsun Zhao's reputation: "The cold-faced judge is also well-known in the world, but most of the heroes in the world angrily accuse him of being a court eagle and helping the emperor to do evil. I am quite afraid of him..."
Li Yan commented: "Gongsun Zhao is a good official, but it's a pity that he was born at the wrong time."
Shi Qian asked: "Is my brother ready to help him?"
Li Yan thought for a while: "I can help him escape this assassination, but it's hard to prevent open guns and hidden arrows. I can't help him all the time. I still have to find another way. This matter has a lot to do with it. If I expected
Not bad, this eunuch actually has selfish motives... Shi Qian, please help me find out more about this person."
In the past, Shi Qian wouldn't have dared to do such a thing. Now he is more confident, clasping his fists and saying, "Brother, please wait patiently for my good news!"
Li Yan warned: "That eunuch is very important. The first priority is to protect yourself. If you are unfortunately trapped, I will rescue you. It will be even more troublesome then, so I would rather not get any information than to put my own safety first!"
Shi Qian felt warm in his heart and nodded heavily: "Yes!"
Li Yan watched him leave, put away his gun and returned to the house. He pondered for a moment and took out a box that even Lin San didn't know about.
Open the lid.
The chain knife lay quietly inside.
Li Yan raised his lips slightly, stretched out his hand to caress this most familiar weapon, and said to Xiao Hei: "Go and find me a robe and a mask..."
