No matter how excellent the work is, once there are worries, there will be weaknesses.
If there is a weakness, there is an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Outside the window, there are green trees and cicadas chirping. Song Ping'an leans on the bedside, his eyes far away and sad, "Actually, what I can tell you is very limited. I am not taken seriously, otherwise I wouldn't be able to waste all these years in the Zhou family.
"
"It's okay if it's limited." Du Changshi finally pried open his mouth, just like a secret that had been hidden for a long time was finally unveiled. Du Changshi suppressed the excitement in his heart and did not intend to waste a little time.
Song Ping'an sighed softly, "Where to start?"
"Let's start with your last name."
"Actually, the name Song Ping'an is not a pseudonym. I was born as an orphan and had no name. I followed a group of beggars to make a living. We also begged, inquired about information, gambled, cheated, and did everything.
Later, the boss ordered someone to kill me, and I was taken into a house to learn some boxing and kung fu. I didn't have a name at first, so I was the last one to go in. There were twenty people in the house, so I was called twenty. Three people died that day, so I
It’s called Seventeen.”
"How did you die?"
Song Pingan didn't seem to understand what Du Changshi meant, and looked at him in surprise. Du Changshi asked seriously, "How did those three children die?"
"They are all street children. There are twenty people living in one room and there are only ten beds. One was beaten to death while fighting for a bed, and the other two were hanged and beaten to death after the steward saw a fight."
Du Changshi raised his eyebrows and looked like he was about to curse. However, he still held back and squeezed the fan bone tightly, "Keep talking!"
"A year later, I was moved to a new room. Because of my sensitivity to smells, I was trained separately. Later, my code name in the organization was Xunxiang."
Du Changshi couldn't help but ask, "Who trained you?"
"I don't know." Song Ping'an said, "I'm not prevaricating. What I usually see are the gentlemen who are in charge and teach us. After I leave, I just keep performing tasks. I have never seen the person behind it."
"I have never seen you being so loyal to him?"
"Which spy is not loyal? Loyalty is the most basic character."
"Okay, then let me ask you." Du Changshi held the fan bone sideways, "How many years have you stayed in that house?"
"Five years."
"Three people died on the first day. It can be seen that the purpose of raising you is to train outstanding subordinates. There are standards for the exams. What will happen to those who fail?"
"It won't happen. Those who fail will die midway."
"How many people are left at the end?"
"ten people."
Du Changshi clicked his tongue, "Do you know what you look like now? You try your best to control it but can't hide the disgust. Do you know the protective look on your face when you mentioned your master? Are you sure you are talking about the same person as me?"
"I never said I was talking about the same person." Song Ping'an was expressionless.
Du Changshi was shocked and scratched the bridge of his nose, "Okay, please be reasonable and continue talking."
"thirsty."
Song Pingan glanced at the cup at hand.
Du Changshi was angry, "You don't have long hands, why do you ask me to serve you?"
Song Ping'an smiled, picked up the cup and drank water. After drinking the water, he said, "In the past, when I had nothing to do, I asked about the wealthy officials in the imperial capital. People say that adults are pampered, and there is some truth in it."
Du Changshi said "cut" and said, "Speak quickly and stop the ink stains."
"There are no ink marks. As you can guess, no one wants to be controlled by others forever." After many years, Song Ping'an still sighed with a hint of hatred.
"Then I don't understand. You go round and round, but you end up being slaves to others. How is this different from Xian Shi?"
Song Ping'an said no more.
Song Pingan made some progress here. The next day, Du Changshi reported to Mu Anzhi privately.
Even though Mu Anzhi had suspected it for a long time, he was extremely shocked when he heard it, "Such a thing really exists!"
Du Changshi bowed slightly, "If I hadn't heard what Song Pingan said with my own ears, I wouldn't have believed it."
Du Changshi hesitated, "Your Highness, I have something that I don't know whether to talk about or not?"
"Just say it."
"Your Highness, can you please refrain from reporting this matter for now?" Du Changshi lowered his eyes and said, "Once this matter is reported, we may not be able to keep Song Pingan here."
Mu Anzhi looked at Du Changshi, who said, "I can dig out everything in his belly, but others may not be able to."
"Is there any other reason?" Mu Anzhi asked.
"Once Song Ping'an's affairs are exposed, I'm afraid it will be difficult to protect his wife and children. In the end, they did nothing wrong. What we want is the secrets in Song Ping'an's hands. If we can forgive one, forgive one more."
Among Mu Anzhi's men, Du Changshi had a mean mouth and was the hardest to deal with. But if Mu Anzhi said it, he was the one with the softest heart.
Mu Anzhi had no intention of handing over Song Ping'an to the court. "Song Ping'an's confession is not a crime in the first place, so the matter should be kept confidential."
Du Changshi's face was solemn and he bowed to accept the order.
Du Changshi was going to visit Song Pingan when he had time, and asked for some secrets. As a result, Song Pingan knew everything as long as it didn't involve his master. Once he talked about that person, Song Pingan's mouth immediately changed.
It's as close as a clam shell.
Du Changshi said, "You always think that your master is a unique person in the world. I say you are sitting in a well. From now on, you can stay with me and meet His Highness the Third Highness, and then you will understand what a big heart is."
Du Changshi did not forget to say to Song Ping'an, "You are still here with me because of His Majesty's mercy."
"It's just that everyone has his own selfish motives."
Threats aside, Song Pingan is not easily bribed.
"When you are with me, your wife and children are at least guaranteed. Since you have known me, you should know that there are many things I can say that are powerful, but I cannot do them." Du Changshi looked at Song Ping'an and asked him, "Once the imperial court
Knowing your existence, are your wife and children unjust?"
Song Ping'an was finally moved and said two words after a while, "Thank you very much."
"No need to thank me, thank Your Highness."
Song Ping'an's health improved, so Du Changshi asked him to stay with him as a bodyguard temporarily.
Of course, Du Changshi was not entirely well-intentioned. He was thinking that Song Ping'an had been killed in prison, so now that he had Song Ping'an next to him, he could use it as bait, and maybe he could catch a big fish.
indefinite.
The result indeed triggered a murder that shocked the imperial capital.
Even if Du Changshi wanted to use Song Pingan as bait, he would naturally be fully prepared.
But I never expected that these people would dare to be so heartless and crazy!
Although Du Changshi was a fifth-rank official, he did not have to go to court, so he would get up a little later and go directly to the Ministry of Punishment after having breakfast.
The assassination occurred on the way to the Criminal Department.
Du Changshi first heard several noises breaking through the air, and his intuition was not good. He was pushed down by Song Ping'an, and then two sharp arrows passed through the window from left to right and were nailed to the carriage with two thuds!
The arrow feathers trembled slightly in the air, Du Changshi gritted his teeth, it was actually a crossbow!
The sound of people outside the car shouting to run for their lives could be heard. You didn’t even need to look to know that it was a mess!
As soon as Du Changshi's hand touched the sword hanging in the carriage, he heard the top of his head seem to shake slightly, and then a murderous intention descended from the sky with a momentum that split the sky and the earth!
boom--
A loud bang!
The entire car cover was split open with a knife and fell apart instantly!
Du Changshi and Song Ping'an only had time to hide under the dust and the blade, staggering to avoid this fatal knife!
"Be careful!" Song Ping'an couldn't help but raise his sleeves to cover his cough. He had been poisoned before and had not yet recovered. What's more, although he had rich experience in life and death, his martial arts foundation was not as solid as Du Changshi's.
Du Changshi stepped forward with his sword and coldly said to the swordsman in green in front of him, "You must have a name!"
This is the prosperous area of the Imperial City, not to mention it is early in the morning. It only takes a moment for patrol officers and soldiers to arrive. Du Changshi swept over the guards and civilians lying on the ground without leaving a trace, trying to delay as much as possible.
some time.
The smell of blood, the strong smell of blood is coming!
Du Changshi made a clanging sound, unsheathed his long sword, and the swords clashed for dozens of rounds in an instant.
The swordsman's sword skills are wide open and close, and his moves are so ruthless that he is almost life-threatening.
Du Changshi, on the other hand, is a pure Shaolin martial artist. He has practiced martial arts since he was young and has a deep foundation. He is also extremely ferocious! Both of them have some injuries on their bodies. The swordsman seems to be unaware, and the light and shadow of the sword are thrown down on his head, becoming more and more fierce!
Du Changshi's face turned slightly pale. It was the first time in his life that he encountered such a powerful killer, and it was also the first time that he was in danger of his life. The crisis of life and death inspired his strong talent, and a set of Shaolin Bodhidharma swords were used by him.
It is unpredictable and murderous is everywhere.
If the opponent was not such a powerful swordsman killer, Du Changshi would immediately think that the killer's target should be Song Ping'an. Why would a top swordsman killer directly swing his sword at him with such ruthlessness?
However, this swordsman killer was so powerful that Du Changshi did not dare to be distracted in the slightest, and he could not be distracted in the slightest!
Suddenly, an arrow shot through the air, like a cunning poisonous snake or an ambush falcon, and like a meteor, it struck at Du Changshi like lightning!
Song Ping'an was furious and roared, "Chasing the wind!" The long whip around his waist curled up, and the whip followed the arrow like a shadow!
Du Changshi felt a sneak attack from behind, and was distracted for a moment. The swordsman slashed at Du Changshi's chest. Du Changshi stepped back quickly, and the swordsman's strike was as fast as a thunderbolt. The blade cut through his clothes, and Du Changshi's chest was bloody.
Bursting and staining clothes.
Du Changshi roared wildly and thrust out his sword at an angle. The sword was so powerful that the swordsman had to draw his sword to avoid it.
Du Changshi lowered his head and spat out a mouthful of blood, obviously at the end of his strength.
The blood spurted by Du Changshi hadn't even touched the ground when the second arrow came quickly! Song Ping'an pulled Du Changshi away and blocked him behind him, and the iron arrow sank into the ground like a knife cutting tofu!
The swordsman suddenly stood up and cut off his head with a single blow!
This knife breaks mountains and rocks!
This knife with murderous intent!
This is an inevitable blow!
The whip in Du Changshi's hand was cut off with one slash. The swordsman kicked Song Ping'an away and slashed at Du Changshi!
At the same time, the third arrow came in a flash! Approaching Du Changshi Mingmen!
Du Changshi was covered in injuries, but his brain was extremely clear at this moment. He couldn't help but think, these people should be killing Song Ping'an, why are they all targeting me?
Before he could think about it, Song Ping'an had already flashed over and stood firmly in front of Du Changshi.
Du Changshi heard two sounds of sharp blades piercing his body, and a wisp of blood slowly spilled from the corner of Song Pingan's lips. He then heard Song Pingan say, "My wife and children, please."
Then, more thick blood overflowed from Song Pingan's mouth. Du Changshi couldn't hold Song Pingan back, and the two fell to the ground together.
Du Changshi groaned and hurriedly looked at Song Ping'an's injuries. The clothes on his back were soaked with blood, and an iron arrow passed through his chest!
More blood flowed from Song Pingan's body.
Du Changshi held Song Ping'an's hand and conveyed the little remaining Qi in his body to him.
The swordsman looked at Du Changshi with contempt, then turned to Du Changshi's hand holding Song Ping'an's hand, and said coldly, "Sure enough, he defected to the government!"
The swordsman raised his sword again——
"Crazy Sword, we were sworn sworn friends back then and agreed never to attack each other. Xunxiang is already a death sentence, so we can't break our oath!"
The voice of the peerless archer who had never appeared came clearly.
The swordsman smiled coldly, "I will kill the dog officer."
The swordsman's sword failed to cut down, and a silver-armored shadow flew towards him and steadily received the swordsman's sword, and then the sound of rapid horse hooves was heard in the distance.
The fourth arrow hit the silver-armored general who was galloping towards him, and he heard a cry, "Retreat!"
The swordsman no longer wanted to fight, he jumped into the air and onto the ridge of the roof, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The silver-armored general blocked the iron arrow, dismounted and flew to Du Changshi. Du Changshi pointed at Song Ping'an, and fainted as soon as his vision went dark!
