"Who dares to run wild in Kyoto?" Two horses galloped over and stopped in the middle of the yard, with two middle-aged men sitting on the horses.
"Master!" The disciples of Jiyu Jianzhuang shouted one after another, and their morale was greatly boosted. It turned out that the person who came was the chief instructor of the two major swordsmanships of Jiyu and Jifeng.
Fairy Yunmeng didn't even look at them, she just waved the sharp sword in her hand.
"I'm tired of living!" the two instructors shouted, leaping off their horses with swords in hand, and attacked Yunmeng together.
There was a scuffle outside, but inside the restaurant, the Tong Fuan brothers were looking for a chance to escape. The restaurant owner and waiter were frightened by this sudden turn of events, hiding under the counter and looking around, while the owner stamped his feet anxiously.
"Uncle! Please! Help us!" Tong Fu'an cried and begged them for help.
The shopkeeper looked at them and said with a sad face: "They are so cruel, how can I dare to save you?"
"Please, uncle, save us. They took us two brothers up the mountain to kill us for making medicine. Please take pity on us and save us. You see, we are still just children——"
Tong Fu'an cried.
The shopkeeper sighed and stamped his feet behind the counter, saying, "What if I saved you but were killed by them?"
"No, no, they didn't see it. Just say we ran away. Although they are cruel, they don't kill innocent people indiscriminately. We are treated like this because we are the children of their enemies.
." Tong Fu'an shook his head vigorously.
The shopkeeper looked at the two brothers. Tong Fuan was crying pitifully at this moment. Finally he couldn't bear it anymore and walked out from behind the counter, sneaked behind them and untied the ropes for them.
After Tong Fu'an and Tong Fuquan were freed, they ran to the backyard without having time to thank the shopkeeper, climbed over the fence in the backyard, and tried their best to escape.
When he reached the end of the alley, Tong Fuan suddenly stopped and his younger brother who was following him almost bumped into him.
"No more running, let's go back and find a place to hide nearby," Tong Fu'an said.
Tong Fuquan looked at him in surprise and asked: "Is it nearby? It's too dangerous! Let's run quickly!"
Tong Fu'an sneered and said: "Run? Can our legs outrun Master? Those people from the Duanmu family will definitely not be Master's opponents. In less than half an hour, Master will definitely chase us, and the most dangerous place is the most dangerous place."
It's safe, she never expected that we would have the guts to stay here."
Tong Fuquan nodded: "Well, where should we hide?"
Tong Fu'an looked back at the long alley, pointed to a small door and said: "There is a back door of a house there. Let's climb over the wall through the back door. If we are discovered, we will pretend to be pitiful and ask them to take us in."
"good."
The two brothers ran towards the small door, then climbed up the wall together and jumped into the yard. The "thumping" sound alerted the servants in the yard, and several big men suddenly ran over and surrounded the two men.
"Master, help me!" Brother Tong Fu'an knelt down on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Where did you two little guys come from? Why did you break into Uncle Guo's villa?" everyone asked.
"Uncle Guo's Mansion?" Tong Fu'an was surprised. He didn't expect to break into Uncle Guo's house by accident. He also knew that Uncle Guo's surname was Duanmu, and it was the person who had just conflicted with his master.
The people of the Duanmu family hurriedly said: "We escaped from a big evil person. Now the evil person and her disciples are fighting with the people of Duanmu Sword Village. The heroism of Duanmu Sword Village is so high that they see their captives being tortured."
We two children, so we came to rescue him, but the villain was too powerful and the heroes of Jianzhuang did not gain the upper hand for the time being, so we two brothers took advantage of the chaos and fled here."
At this time, a middle-aged man in brocade clothes came out of the house. The servants hurriedly bowed and saluted, called "Uncle Guo" and reported the situation to him.
Uncle Guo was Duanmu Mengzheng. He walked up to the two brothers, looked at them from head to toe, and asked: "Why did the evil man you said want to arrest you two?"
"We are the children of her enemy. We don't know much about the grudges in our previous life. We only know that she led her disciples to kill our parents, and then she said she would take us up the mountain and cut our hearts to make medicine." Tong Fu'an still made up lies.
"There is such a vicious person?" Duanmu Mengzheng frowned.
"Yes - I beg Uncle Guo to save his life and take us in. We brothers will treat ourselves as cattle and horses to repay Uncle Guo's life-saving kindness." Tong Fu'an dragged his younger brother to the ground, kowtowed and cried for help.
Duanmu Mengzheng pondered for a while and asked: "The two of them are born neatly. Are you willing to enter the palace?"
"Entering the palace?" Tong Fu'an raised his head in surprise.
"Well, the Queen has just entrusted me to find two neat boys to accompany her in the palace. If you are willing, I will bring you into the palace." Duanmu Meng nodded.
Tong Fu'an looked at Tong Fuquan, but his younger brother's expression was even more confused. For them, the palace was a strange and magical place, and they had never thought of being able to go in there.
"As long as we can escape our enemies, survive, have food to eat and clothes to wear, we are willing," Tong Fu'an said.
Duanmu Mengzheng smiled slightly and said: "If you are willing, go to the purifier to purify yourself first, and then take him to the empress. As long as you serve well and get the favor of the empress, the empress will naturally favor you."
"Purify yourself?" Tong Fuan was confused.
Duanmu Mengzheng frowned and asked, "Are you unwilling?"
"Both of us brothers are going to purify ourselves? Aren't we going to be eunuchs?" Tong Fu'an asked in a trembling voice.
"If you don't become eunuchs, how can you let these two wild boys stay with your empress?" Duanmu Mengzheng scolded.
"No, we don't want to be purified and become eunuchs." Tong Fu'an shook his head repeatedly, took Tong Fuquan's hand, knelt on the ground and stepped back.
"No? Then get out of here." Duanmu Mengzheng's face became angry and he shouted with his eyes widened.
"Let's get out, let's get out." Tong Fu'an pulled his brother up, took a few steps back, turned around and ran towards the small door from which he came. A servant opened the door for them. Tong Fu'an looked out and saw his master Yunmeng Xiangu leading the way.
Seeing that a group of junior brothers were chasing him from the other end of the alley, he was so frightened that he quickly closed the door and leaned against the small door with his back.
Duanmu Meng was looking at them coldly and asked: "What? It's a dead end if you go out, right?"
Tong Fu'an nodded in frustration, then knelt down and cried: "Uncle Guo, please don't let our brothers purify themselves. Can we just work as long-term workers in your house?"
Duanmu Meng was looking at him and said: "I wanted to send you to the empress because of your handsome appearance. No one else has the chance to do this, but you still shirk it."
