After breaking through the obstruction of the three men, Jiang Muchan quickly passed through the courtyard, climbed over the wall, and escaped from the palace.
Once outside, he has nothing to be afraid of. Who can catch him in the dark?
After a while, he escaped several miles away.
When they reached an old tree in the suburbs, Jiang Muchan stopped and wanted to take a breath.
At this time, the moonlight was just right, illuminating the ground quite brightly. Jiang Muchan chose this place to rest after careful consideration, because the view here is very broad, and if anyone is approaching, he can see it from a distance.
.
He was quite thoughtful, but unfortunately...
"Boy, are you tired now?" A soft voice suddenly sounded, announcing that his caution was meaningless.
When Jiang Muchan heard this voice, his scalp went numb.
Because the voice came from the other side of the tree trunk he was leaning against, only a few feet away from him, but he was not aware of the other person's existence. If the person who spoke wanted to take his life,
I'm afraid he is already a dead man by now.
"Ha..." However, Jiang Muchan is a person who will still smile even if he feels scared, so he is still sitting with his back against the big tree at this moment, and responded in a relaxed tone, "I'm not made of iron.
After a long night of hard work, you should be tired, right?"
"Hey~ you still know that you like to toss?" The voice said as it walked out from behind the tree and walked slowly to Jiang Muchan, "Then tell me... what should our family do with you?
"
"My father-in-law is highly skilled in martial arts, far superior to Jiang, so he will naturally do whatever he wants to do with me...just do whatever he wants with me." At this moment, Jiang Muchan had clearly seen the other person's appearance and clothing, combined with the other person's voice.
With the title "our family", it is not difficult to guess... the person he was talking to was a eunuch.
"Hmph... That's fair to say. Why do you think I'm bullying you now that you've become a father-in-law?" The old eunuch clasped his hands behind his back, facing Jiang Muchan unprotectedly, and said leisurely, "Tell it for yourself, what are you doing today?"
Is it true that what you did in the evening is serious?"
"What did I do?" Jiang Muchan said with a smile, "Did I collude with the Fire Lotus Sect to prey on the common people and kill innocent people indiscriminately, or did I bully men and dominate women and expropriate them arbitrarily?"
"Oh." The old eunuch nodded, "So you are helping the common people vent their anger?"
"No, no, no..." Jiang Muchan said, "I'm just a thief. I just wanted to see if there was anything interesting in the palace's warehouse tonight that I could take back and play with, but I haven't gotten it yet."
What he said was just pretentious.
So the old lady was a little unhappy when she heard the eavesdropping, and immediately said slightly angrily: "Hey! I'm talking to you properly, but you're talking nonsense with me, right?"
"I just have a poor mouth. I'm afraid I can't change it. How about I just endure it?" Jiang Muchan said.
"Smooth talk deserves a beating!" the old eunuch said, turned around and struck out with a palm.
This palm didn't come too suddenly, because Jiang Muchan had been on alert from the beginning: he seemed to be sitting on the ground with his back against a big tree, looking very relaxed, but in fact his legs were bent
He was already ready to attack, and when he saw the palm coming, he immediately stepped on the ground to use the force, stood up suddenly, and used all his strength to meet the palm with his palm.
However, with all his strength, he still came up short against the opponent's palm which used 50% of his strength.
After all, the old eunuch is already nearly sixty years old this year, while Jiang Muchan is only twenty-seven or eighty-eight years old. There is a thirty-year difference in internal strength between the two. What if the old man has no talent for martial arts, or his internal strength is very poor?
, that's okay to say, but the actual situation is...he is considered a top figure among the big insiders, so Jiang Muchan will definitely not be able to compete.
Snapped--
After this palm exchange, a soft and sharp internal energy penetrated from Jiang Muchan's right hand into his arm, and then went straight to his torso.
After taking a breath, Jiang Muchan felt a chill in his heart and a trace of rust in his throat. Even though he sealed the heart acupuncture points in time, he could not control the spread of internal injuries well.
"Your sword skills and light skills are good, but why are you so weak at practicing internal skills? How did your master teach you?" The old eunuch didn't pursue him after giving him a slap. It was as if he was teaching a child a lesson and started again.
He stood up with his hands behind his back and spoke in a questioning tone.
"Ha..." Jiang Muchan laughed again. He leaned his back against the big tree again and slowly sat down.
This time, he really relaxed, because he felt that any resistance would be futile.
"My master's martial arts skills are indeed not very high, and he himself only knows a set of inferior internal skills, so he only taught me this set. But if my father-in-law wants to say something wrong because of this, I won't agree to it.
"
What he said revealed a lot of information - the master only taught internal skills, so you learned the Qinggong sword skills on your own, right?
That would be awesome.
How many people in this world have worked hard for decades but they may not be able to create a decent martial arts. How can you, a twenty-seven or eight-year-old man, figure out the two unique skills of swordsmanship and lightness kung fu on your own?
Of course, even if this were true, in the eyes of the old eunuch, it was nothing.
There is a saying that "you are not afraid of poor ability, but you are afraid of poor eyesight." The old eunuch is a person who has seen the stars and the sea. Jiang Muchan's hands are just "good" in his opinion, and they are far from enough to need to be amazed.
the point.
Compared with that kind of thing, the old eunuch was more concerned about another message revealed in Jiang Muchan's words: "I can also see that your master didn't teach martial arts well, but he taught 'humanity' very well.
right?"
"Hahaha..." Jiang Muchan was happy. This time it was not a forced smile, but happiness from the bottom of his heart. "My father-in-law is a wise man."
"Don't be so playful with that person." The old eunuch said again, "How do you really think that our family is reluctant to kill you? I'm chasing you today just to tell you - what you did tonight is outrageous."
"Heh... father-in-law, don't you want to tell me the king's law?" Jiang Muchan said.
"Of course not." The old eunuch obviously sneered at those two words, "I'm trying to be reasonable with you."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Oh?" Jiang Muchan said, "Then I want to listen."
"Let me ask you, what is the difference between the royal family and the ordinary wealthy family?" said the old eunuch.
"The master of the palace has done more evil," Jiang Muchan said.
"You're still talking to me like that, right?" The old eunuch glared, "Do you still want to be beaten?"
"Okay, I was wrong, please tell me, father-in-law." Jiang Muchan waved his hand, but still did not put away his joking expression.
The old eunuch punched his nostrils and let out a breath, and then said: "The palace is the royal family. The royal family has the face of the royal family. This... other dignitaries will never have it."
"Losing something is a small matter, but losing face is a big deal...is that what you mean?" Jiang Muchan said.
"Exactly." said the old eunuch.
"Then father-in-law, do you think what Jiang does is mainly for money and treasures, or is he stepping on other people's faces?" Jiang Muchan said.
"Hmph... You can step on other people, but you can't step on Lao Zhu's people." When he said this, the old eunuch's tone became a little colder.
"He Zhu Huo has done so many unscrupulous things, but he still lacks my two legs in his face?" Jiang Muchan asked in return.
"Even if he is worse than a beast in the hearts of the people, it's not your turn to take care of him." When the old eunuch said this, he paused slightly, glanced around, and lowered his voice, "Even if he needs to be taken care of... it's not your kind of management.
Law."
When Jiang Muchan heard this, his expression changed. He had obviously captured something from the old eunuch's words.
When the old eunuch saw the change in his expression, he immediately raised his voice, changed the topic, and continued: "And... don't think about it, there are so many female relatives in the palace, the daughter of the old Zhu family
, it’s no better than the homes of ordinary people. You, a burglar, come in and out like this. If there is someone who can talk but not listen, and ruins the reputation of those princesses, can you afford it?"
"What my father-in-law said is absolutely true. Jiang really didn't take that into consideration..." At this time, Jiang Muchan's tone also changed, "You're right, I'm being ridiculous. I'll pay attention next time."
"Next time? Haha..." the old eunuch smiled, "Do you really think that a place like the palace allows you to come and go at will? You can try another palace... Then you may not meet someone as reasonable as ours.
of people."
After Jiang Muchan heard this, he thought to himself: "What a reasonable person, that slap just now almost killed me... But I did underestimate the strength of the palace. It turns out that the real scary thing is not these subordinates of the lord himself.
, but the internal experts placed by the imperial court to monitor them..."
After thinking about it, he was still respectful on the surface: "May I ask...father-in-law, are you going to let me go?"
"Why should I keep you?" asked the old eunuch, "You want to be my godson?"
"No, no, father-in-law is too polite." Jiang Muchan quickly shook her head, "I can't afford to be so high."
"Isn't that the end?" the old eunuch said, "We are just here to warn you. Don't think that it is easy to come and go this time, and you will dare to come next time. Now that you understand, let's go."
"Uh..." Jiang Muchan thought for a moment and decided to run away. You won't get any benefits if you keep it. "Thank you for your advice, father-in-law. I'll take my leave."
After saying that, he ran away without looking back.
The old eunuch stood there and watched him go away without moving a step.
After Jiang Muchan's figure completely disappeared into the night, suddenly, another figure appeared next to the old eunuch.
This person was actually nearby just now, secretly listening to the conversation between the two, but Jiang Muchan was also unaware of his presence.
"My father-in-law really let him go like that?" the man asked.
"Otherwise?" the old eunuch asked.
"Aren't you afraid that he will ruin our big event?" the man asked again.
"What kind of harm can a green man who only understands small benevolence and righteousness do?" the old eunuch said, "Besides, our family has just 'taught' him, and he is not a stupid person. He should understand what I mean.
"
"In that case, that's good." The man continued, "By the way, do you want to report what happened tonight to the superiors?"
"Of course." The old eunuch replied, "This boy offended the Fire Lotus Immortal tonight, and tomorrow his wanted poster will be posted all over the city. We can't hide it even if we want to."
When he said this, he changed the topic, "But... we can talk about what can be repaid and what should not be repaid in this matter."
"Hmm... Indeed." The man thought for a while and nodded again.
"Then..." the old eunuch shrugged, turned around and said, "What do you say to your 'superior', and what do I say to my 'master'... let's talk while walking?"
"Father-in-law, please." The man stepped aside and gave way.
"Heh..." The old eunuch smiled and said politely, "Mr. Zhao, please."
