Xu Zhiqiong carried Eyan on his shoulders and looked at the bronze horse in the corridor quietly.
The bronze horse rushed out from the broken wall and stood facing Xu Zhiqiong.
A chill ran down Xu Zhiqiong's spine.
It wasn't because I was scared, it was because there was water flowing slowly on my back.
Eyan was still urinating, just on Xu Zhiqiong's shoulder.
"Are you done?" Xu Zhiqiong asked Eyan.
Eyan cried: "I know my mistake, Lord Marquis, I will finish the matter immediately!"
It's not Eyan's fault. She was frightened and had a serious injury on her knee. It was quite difficult for this girl to stay awake.
Hululu!
The bronze horse snorted, and its mane suddenly stood up, turning into a sheet of copper needles that shot towards Xu Zhiqiong like rain.
Xu Zhiqiong dodged back and forth with Eyan, but none of the copper needles hit.
Bronze Horse suddenly opened his mouth, and the teeth in his mouth flew towards Xu Zhiqiong one by one.
Xu Zhiqiong dodged a tooth, which penetrated directly through the wall behind Xu Zhiqiong.
Another tooth hit Xu Zhiqiong's feet, breaking through the wooden board on the ground and splashing a piece of soil.
The horse's mouth has hundreds of copper teeth. After the shooting, the entire corridor was riddled with holes, but Xu Zhiqiong was not injured at all, and Eyan behind him was not injured again.
The huge noise woke up everyone in the mansion. Niu Yuxian and Chu He followed the sound and searched around, but kept wandering between several corridors.
Tao Huayuan suddenly appeared and said to the two of them: "Don't wander around, there is a magic circle!"
The yin and yang magic circle appeared in the mansion, and it seemed to be related to the bronze horse. Xu Zhiqiong also relied on his own yin and yang cultivation to find E Yan.
The array was not complicated, and Tao Huayuan mobilized the two qi of yin and yang to easily resolve it. When she found Xu Zhiqiong, she saw the bronze horse opening its mouth again, with a mouthful of flames in its mouth.
Xu Zhiqiong took out the Star Iron Halberd from his waist.
There is no need to continue to deal with it, Xu Zhiqiong has already seen through the Bronze Horse's strength.
He raised his iron halberd, ready to rush forward and chop off the horse's head.
The bronze horse seemed a little afraid, its hoofs trembled, and it slowly backed away.
Isn't this an agency?
To use a familiar concept from Xu Zhiqiong, this is a robot horse.
How does it know fear?
Seeing Xu Zhiqiong brandishing his iron halberd, Niu Yuxian stepped forward to stop him, and then jumped onto the horse's back.
The bronze horse neighed and stamped, trying to throw Niu Yuxian off. Niu Yuxian kept his body balanced while searching for traps on the bronze horse.
There are no mechanisms on the surface of the bronze horse.
Niu Yuxian pressed his hands on the bronze horse and used his qi machine to explore the internal mechanisms of the bronze horse.
Hateful! Niu Yuxian gritted his teeth, hating that he only had a seventh-grade cultivation level.
If you reach the sixth level of cultivation and have the skills to send and receive freely, you will definitely be able to subdue this bronze horse.
Niu Yuxian found several traps and kept turning back, and the bronze horse calmed down a little.
The joints all over its body became stiffer and stiffer, as if they were rusty, and they creaked as they slowly stood in place.
Just as Niu Yuxian breathed a sigh of relief, the bronze horse went crazy again and threw Niu Yuxian to the ground.
It makes no sense!
After bending several important mechanisms, the bronze horse should be unable to move!
Seeing the bronze horse trampling over, Niu Yuxian was at a loss. Tao Huayuan suddenly rushed forward and injected a burst of energy into the bronze horse's head.
The bronze horse stopped moving this time, its limbs stiff, as if it might fall down at any time.
Niu Yuxian got up, injected Qi into the belly of the bronze horse, and then folded several mechanisms. The four legs of the bronze horse moved slightly and stood firmly on the ground.
Niu Yuxian wiped off his sweat and said to Xu Zhiqiong: "It was only then that I saw you were about to cut off the horse's head, so I stopped you. Cutting off the horse's head is useless, but it's hard to say what will be released."
This issue was really ignored by Xu Zhiqiong.
This is a robot horse, and cutting off its head is really useless.
But Tao Huayuan didn't think so: "This bronze horse is a puppet with a soul. If you really cut off the horse's head, your soul will probably fly away, but you can stop it."
Xu Zhiqiong turned around and asked Tao Huayuan: "What is a soul puppet?"
Tao Huayuan said: "It is a type of yin and yang magic that can seal the soul within the puppet. The soul can move the puppet with it, and it is much more agile and agile than ordinary puppets."
No wonder the horse showed fear when I wielded my iron halberd.
Could it be that the Yin-Yang array in the mansion was also arranged by this horse?
Niu Yuxian did not agree with this: "The main method of this horse is still my Mohist construction method. There is something hidden in its neck. If you cut off the horse's head, it will set fire, maybe even poison, and even if you cut off the horse's head, it will set fire.
Even if the horse's head is captured and the mechanism is there, the horse can still be beaten!"
Once the struggle between the Mohists and Yin and Yang was involved, Niu Yuxian, who was usually taciturn, immediately became aggressive.
Tao Huayuan smiled helplessly and said nothing. She turned to look at Xu Zhiqiong and asked, "What's wrong with the woman on your shoulder?"
Xu Zhiqiong almost forgot that Eyan was still with him.
The girl seemed to have fainted from fright. There was no movement for a long time. Tao Huayuan looked at her face, frowned and said, "This girl has been poisoned! Is there any wound on her body?"
Xu Zhiqiong put Eyan down and pointed to the wound on his knee.
Tao Huayuan checked the wound and immediately asked Xu Zhiqiong to find the arrowhead.
"This arrow is poisonous. It is extremely poisonous. All the mechanisms fired by this horse must not be tampered with!"
Xu Zhiqiong took Tong Qingqiu's antidote with him and gave it to Tao Huayuan. Tao Huayuan quickly identified the poison and gave Eyan the powder.
Chu He looked at the bronze horse, turned around and said to Xu Zhiqiong: "How much hatred does the commander have against you? I really want you to die!"
"Zhong Shen did not do this," Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and turned to greet the maid Pu Ye: "Tell everyone in the mansion that this matter is not allowed to be spread outside!"
Xu Zhiqiong was convinced that Zhong Shen did not do this because he and Zhong Shen knew each other well enough.
Regardless of the friendship between the two, Zhong Shen would not do such a thing.
This horse cannot kill Xu Zhiqiong. Whether it is a mechanism or a puppet, it cannot kill Xu Zhiqiong. Zhong Shen knows this very well.
If you can't kill Xu Zhiqiong, don't provoke Xu Zhiqiong, otherwise you will suffer crazy revenge. Zhong Shen is also very clear about this.
With Zhong Shen's temperament, it was impossible for her to make unnecessary provocations when she couldn't kill Xu Zhiqiong, so Zhong Shen must not have done this.
Who did this?
The craftsmen who came to give gifts must have been ordered by Zhong Shen. The gifts were real, but they must have been exchanged.
This person was able to break into the Ascetic Workshop and exchange the gift Zhong Shen gave me. His foundation in the Ascetic Workshop is very deep.
Xu Zhiqiong quickly thought of someone, Ye Ansheng.
He has a high status in Nufu Sect, and this incident is probably related to him.
What is the purpose of Nufu Cult doing this?
Just to drive a wedge between Zhong Shen and me?
If we alienate Zhong Shen and me, what good will it do to them?
"Leave this horse here, Yuxian, you and Brother Tao must keep an eye on it and don't let it cause any trouble again," Xu Zhiqiong warned everyone again, "Don't let any news about this matter leak out.
.”
Despite repeated warnings, the news still leaked out.
This Marquis' Mansion is not the Marquis' Mansion in Wang'anjing. It is not just a few confidants around Xu Zhiqiong. There are hundreds of maids here.
Mo Chi received the news the next day.
"What does Xuan Guo want to do? Want to kill Xu Zhiqiong?" Mo Chi was furious, "Send a letter to Emperor Changle. You must give me an explanation for this matter!"
Emperor Changle received Mo Chi's letter and sat in Longtu Pavilion, silent.
Liang Yuyao said angrily: "How dare you attack Zhi Qiong for betraying his Zhong Shen!"
He Fang shook her head and said: "This is a strange thing. Commander Zhong has no reason to assassinate Marquis Yun."
"It makes no sense!" Liang Yuyao shouted, "This guy is afraid that Zhi Qiong will steal his position, so he wants to get rid of Zhi Qiong."
He Fang shook her head and said: "Sixth sister, we all know that the bronze horse was given to Marquis Yun by Commander Zhong. If Marquis Yun really makes a mistake, Commander Zhong will not be able to escape the blame at all!"
Yan Anqing stood aside and said nothing.
This matter was so confusing that he and the cabinet discussed it for a long time, but could not find any clues.
Emperor Changle thought for a long time and said to Liang Yuyao: "Sixth sister, send out the red-clothed envoy to the penance workshop to find out what this gift is about. Keep the matter hidden and don't let the news leak out.
"
Liang Yuyao nodded.
Emperor Changle said to He Fang again: "Ask Li Shabai to inquire about the news about the Nufu Sect, as well as the news about the northern border and the capital, to see if this matter is related to them."
He Fang accepted the order.
Emperor Changle rolled his eyes and ordered someone to find Jiang Feili.
"Jiang Shaoshi, please ask Commander Zhong to come to the palace tonight. Just say that I have something to discuss with him."
Jiang Feili followed the order and left, and Liang Yuyao said: "What are you waiting for tonight? It's time to arrest Zhong Shen now!"
Emperor Changle shook his head and said: "It's not like Zhong Shen did this, and there's no news from Zhi Qiong."
Liang Yuyao said: "Zhi Qiong must not want to say it. He is thinking of the friendship between the Imperial City Division."
Emperor Changle still shook his head: "Let's see what's going on in the Zhongshen compartment."
There is a lot of movement here at Zhongshen.
He spent the whole day in Qilang Tea House, writing poems with Pan Shuihan.
"When my hair first touches my forehead, it's a drama in front of the door." Pan Shuihan broke off a peony flower, held it in his hand, and sang softly.
"Here comes the man on a bamboo horse, going around the bed to make green plums!" Zhong Shen rode a bamboo horse, running in circles around the bed.
Pan Shuihan exclaimed: "This poem is so well written!"
This poem is a heartfelt admiration, not to please Zhong Shen.
Pan Shuihan felt that Zhong Shen was really good at writing poems. Following the previous poem "Beauty Rolling Bead Curtain", this poem was also very stunning.
Zhong Shen scratched his head and said, "It's just a piece of work, but it's a bit rough after all!"
He rode the bamboo horse and continued to run happily.
He found the bamboo horse very interesting, but he missed such an interesting thing when he was a child.
Pan Shuihan snatched the bamboo horse, hugged Zhong Shen and said angrily: "I like poems like this. Sir, please make two more for me."
Two more songs?
This will be difficult, we have to wait for Xu Zhiqiong to come back.
Pan Shuihan can wait, she is very patient.
She felt that bell ginseng was particularly handsome today.
She pushed Zhong Shen into the bed curtain.
She didn't want Zhong Shen to leave the tea house today.
…
At nightfall, Zhong Shen staggered out of the teahouse. He wanted to go to the Imperial City Department to sit there for a while and see if there was any important business.
But after thinking about it for a while, I decided to just go back home.
In the current situation, if you are soft-handed with a knife and soft-handed with a pen, what else can you do for official business?
But if you don’t take a look, what if something big happens?
Walking on a fork in a deep alley, Zhong Shen was hesitating when he suddenly heard the sound of wind behind his ears and stabbed his back with a sharp knife.
Zhong Shen's heart trembled, but she didn't panic.
Even though his clothes were thin, he was wearing thick armor underneath. The opponent's knife failed to penetrate him. Zhong Shen suddenly turned around, and a spear flew out of his cuffs.
The spear came with great ferocity, but the man opposite him was calm and dodged through the gap.
What a swift move!
Is this man a eunuch?
I heard that Chen Shuncai returned to the capital. Could it be him?
Why did he come to me?
Zhong Shen wanted to see what the man looked like, but he saw that the man was of medium build, wearing a green shirt and a mask on his face, so he could not see his appearance clearly.
Zhong Shen suddenly raised his hand, using the third-level Mohist skill to pick up an object at will, and took out a big man from mid-air.
The other party thought that Zhong Shen was going to cover him with a big man.
There is no way such a bulky man can cover such an agile opponent.
Zhong Shen threw the big man in the air, and the big man flew in the air, and then sprinkled a large piece of molten iron. The molten iron turned into countless fiery red droplets in the air. Each droplet has spirituality, like countless wild bees, chasing the mask. man.
This is the mechanism of the third-grade Mohist family, a mechanism that is almost impossible to crack.
This is the best weapon to deal with agile opponents. As long as it is hit by a drop of liquid, it can scorch the opponent's flesh.
Zhong Shen stood aside and quietly watched the liquid beads chasing him. A liquid bead quickly touched the masked man.
The masked man's clothes instantly caught fire, but he stood there without struggling.
Isn't this guy afraid of fire?
While thinking about it, Zhong Shen suddenly felt a sharp pain, but saw that his arm was burned to a large extent.
What skill is this?
He controls my agency?
Zhong Shen looked horrified and quickly collected the molten iron from the big man.
It seems that this mechanism is really controlled by him. Zhong Shen wants to change his weapon.
He uses Fetch again.
Suddenly, the man shouted: "Commander, you are guilty!"
Zhong Shen ignored it and reached out to grab the weapon in the air.
After being caught several times, Zhong Shen found that his third-level skills were no longer working.
He couldn't grab a weapon.
The man opposite smiled: "I told you, you are guilty!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man suddenly disappeared and then reappeared behind him. A short knife over a foot long was inserted into Zhong Shen's back.
This knife is so powerful that it actually broke Zhong Shen's armor.
After entering the skin and flesh, the blade blossomed and turned into a reamer, constantly stirring the internal organs of the bell ginseng.
What a vicious weapon!
Zhong Shen screamed in pain, vomited blood, and fell to the ground.
