Chapter 22 Two Moves

 "It's raining continuously, be careful to prevent theft..."
Night.
The light rain is still falling lightly.
Outside Gaofu.
The watchman wears a raincoat, holds a lantern and gong in his left hand, and a drumstick in his right hand. He shouts every ten steps, and then hits the gong: "At the quarter of Hai hour, it's the second watch..."
Two more days.
That is nine o'clock in the evening.
Of course it is not too late at this time in modern times, but in the Hangu boundary where the sun sets, there are no pedestrians on the streets at this time.
"Hurry, hurry up..."
Tonight is different.
Accompanied by dense footsteps, this is destined to be a sleepless night.
"It's a shame that General Zhang forced the marriage, and I lived an ignoble existence under his sword."
"What about beautiful flowers and a full moon? What about thousands of miles of rivers and mountains? Suddenly I heard the general's call, and the lady was so frightened that she trembled..."
Skeletons pave the road outside the city, and people eat each other.
But among the wealthy people in this high-rise city, the rich people are accompanied by warm jade, listening to music in the middle of the night.
Mr. Gao is naturally no exception.
As the leading theater geek in Longhua City, he can't live without theater all day long. He has to listen to the midnight watch and then sleep until noon tomorrow to be satisfied.
"Master, how about this life-and-death hatred?"
"Okay, I look good, my singing is good, and my figure is good."
Mr. Gao sat on the sofa, playing with the girl's feet in his hands, and said with a hint of unfinished emotion: "It's a pity that I only sang the beauty, not the resentment in my heart."
The housekeeper naturally knew his master's preferences, and immediately said: "If you don't want to suffer, I will ask her to come up and you can give me some advice."
Mr. Gao drank ginseng tea.
He looked at the girl in his arms, then at the blanket covering him, and sighed: "Okay, sir, this is the only mouth I have left in these years."
As he spoke, he stuck out his tongue at the girl, and saw that the tongue was two inches long. The girl was so frightened that she turned pale and begged for mercy: "Master, you are the real man. When you stick out your tongue, I will tremble all over."
."
Tap tap tap...
Follow the little episode.
Not long after, the opera singer was invited.
"Hello, Mr. Gao..."
As the leader of a traveling troupe.
Hua Dan naturally knew what she wanted to do, so she started pouring the wine without waiting for instructions, and said gently: "I have long heard that you are an expert in the industry and a famous Longhua opera fanatic. If there is anything wrong with your singing,
Please sir..."
Just about to raise a toast.
Before she finished speaking, Hua Dan shrank her body as if frightened, and subconsciously pointed to the wall: "This..."
Enter the eyes.
Five uninvited guests are standing on the wall.
"You, who are you?"
Mr. Gao looked horrified.
"The Way of Peace..."
The leader waved his hand: "Catch him."
"Master, be careful."
Critical moment.
The butler, who had been looking so flattering just now, suddenly had three silver needles in his hand.
Ding ding ding...
Three needles fired in volley, making a sharp and ear-piercing sound.
"Well done."
A heat wave suddenly surged in the air.
No, this is not a heat wave, but a palm wind.
Blown by the hot wind, the three silver needles shot immediately deviated from their trajectory and hit the stone wall at the feet of several people.
"I have long heard that there is a Mr. Silver Needle in the Gao Mansion who still holds a pipa and half-hides his face. Only the dead would know who he is..."
Jiang Xuan jumped down from the wall, the dark iron mask on his face flickering under the light: "I didn't expect that the so-called Mr. Silver Needle was not an external minister hired by the high government at a large price, but you.
Steward of the Inner Courtyard."
After saying that, Jiang Xuan was also a little strange: "You are also a first-class expert. Even if you join the army, you can still make a vanguard general, so why bother to work with others."
"No matter how great a master is, they are trained by ordinary people. I am a son of the Gao family, and my ancestors have been stewards of high houses for five generations. Let alone a first-class expert, what can I do if I am a grandmaster?" Mr. Yinzhen shook his head and sighed.
: "The plainness is the truth."
Just listen.
Jiang Xuan knew that Mr. Silver Needle was a man with a story.
He likes to listen to stories the most, but unfortunately now is not the time.
Kill!!
Confrontation in progress.
Suddenly, shouts of killing came from the outer courtyard, as well as the sound of crossbows piercing the air.
"Master, Master..."
A guard leader with an arrow in his arm broke into the courtyard and shouted: "There are many men in black coming outside. They have bows and crossbows. They are all wearing light armor. They kill everyone they see."
"A?"
Mr. Silver Needle's eyes narrowed: "Ping'an Road has a bow but no crossbow, and no armor. Who are you?"
Jiang Xuan didn't answer but asked: "What do you think?"
"I see, you are an official..." Before the word "official" came out, Mr. Yinzhen realized the seriousness of the problem, and his tone changed instantly: "You are so safe, you actually want to blame the government, I
I won’t be fooled.”
"Help, help..."
The defeat was like a mountain falling.
The servants of the Gaofu Palace guarding the courtyard could not stop the three hundred elite soldiers led by the elite disciples of Baishou Palace.
It only takes half a stick of incense before and after.
The sound of slashing and killing in the outer courtyard ended, followed by the female family members of the Gao family who were threatened by swords.
"Tell me, what do you want?"
I can’t wait to see it.
Mr. Yinzhen remained calm, and protected Mr. Gao and said, "We can't just wipe out the whole Gao family. The Gao family is not a small family, and it won't end well for you if it gets too big."
We are all smart people.
Jiang Xuan knew that Mr. Yinzhen had guessed their identities, and also knew that he was pretending not to know.
Of course.
It doesn't matter whether you know it or not.
The key is that it is better not to know something than to know it, so people who know it will treat it as not knowing.
"Master Gao, please open the inner treasury in Gao Mansion." Jiang Xuan ignored Mr. Silver Needle, but looked at Master Gao: "Still, I have to kill more people before you can understand your situation."<
/p>
"Don't..."
People are knives and servants, and I am fish and meat.
Although Mr. Gao has no ability and only relies on the shadow of his ancestors, he also understands that no matter how hard his neck is, he can't be as hard as a knife: "Isn't it just money or food? As long as it doesn't hurt my family, I will give you whatever you want." Then he looked at me.
Mr. Silver Needle, his tone full of helplessness: "Butler Sun, give it to them."
Mr. Silver Needle did not refuse.
But he didn't agree willingly. Instead, he looked at Jiang Xuan and took out a key: "This is the key to the Gao family's treasury. Prepare to take it."
Jiang Xuan instantly thought of the three silver needles he shot just now.
Mr. Silver Needle is a master of hidden weapons. He so solemnly asked him to pick it up, which means that he is going to do something real this time. Firstly, he wants to use this attack to show his strength and make him not act rashly. Secondly, I am afraid he also wants to praise him.
Jinliang.
"I'll come..."
Jiang Xuan is about to take action.
Along with the sound of breaking through the air, a man in black holding a spear leaped over.
"Senior Brother Huangfu..."
Looking at the spear that landed on the ground, Jiang Xuan instantly became happy: "Have you made a breakthrough?"
"It's just a matter of time." Huangfu Qi nodded lightly: "Hurry up and hurry up, I finally didn't delay your invitation."
Finished.
Huangfu Qi felt it was inappropriate again and added: "In martial arts, those who are masters come first. If you entered the True Tradition earlier than me, you are the senior brother."
Jiang Xuan doesn't care much about this.
Huangfu Qi was very strict about rules and said, "I've met Senior Brother Jiang."
Okay.
A senior brother is a senior brother, and a junior brother is a junior brother. Now is not the time to argue about this, so he said: "This is Mr. Silver Needle, a well-known first-class expert in Longhua Mansion. You can accompany him to a few moves."
“First class!”
Chapter completed!
