Zhong Xihou returned to his house in Jinling City. Oh, the scene in front of him really made him think that he had gone to the wrong place.
Hua Shaohong spoke first, but still did not change his teasing tone, saying: "Oh, is this a play between three women?"
In the courtyard, Zang Yan, Na Qin Ji, and Qu Tian Qin were sitting at the stone table, embroidering?
When Zang Yan saw that the three men of Zhong Xihou were coming back, Zang Yan smiled as brightly as a flower. After blinking and smiling, she returned to embroidering the pair of mandarin ducks.
Qinji was a little cautious and stood up immediately, placing her hands on her lower abdomen and saluting.
Looking at Qu Tianqin again, this silly girl turned red and covered her eyes with half-embroidered silk.
Hua Shaohong became even more energetic. He leaned over and clicked his tongue a few times. He held his chest with his left hand and clamped it under his right armpit. Then he used his right hand to rub his chin, which was starting to grow a beard. He heard him say seriously: "Tian Qin,
You embroider well."
When Qu Tianqin heard that the dog was saying complimentary words, he immediately spread the silk on the stone table so that everyone could see clearly.
Zhong Xihou and Yan Hudeliang tried not to laugh. Fortunately, they were both characters, so their scene skills were nothing to say. On the contrary, Qin Ji and the picturesque Zang Yan, who stood like maids, were smiling brightly.
Then I heard Hua Shaohong cough twice and said: "Tianqin, your rooster fighting centipede, your embroidery is eight points of charm, awesome, awesome..."
Hua Shaohong also gave a thumbs up. Although Qu Tianqin was blushing, she was shy at first, but now she was furious. She stood up and slapped the stone table hard, making the needles and threads tremble. She heard her roaring
: "This is called dragon and phoenix presenting auspiciousness!"
Not to mention it was okay, but as soon as he said it, even Zhong Xihou and Yan Hude also failed. In an instant, the garden burst into laughter and joy.
As the seed of happiness, Qu Tianqin was naturally unhappy and ran inside quickly.
Hua Shaohong is really a master who is not afraid of trouble. He made a trumpet with his hand and put it to his mouth and asked: "Tianqin, what are you doing? It's such a good rooster fighting a centipede. Mr. Hou and others are rough and rude, but they don't understand. I understand you."
·····”
Looking again, Qu Tianqin rushed out dragging a half-moon halberd. Hua Shaohong's eyes immediately widened, and he used a wonderful movement to rush out of the wall. The troublemaker also sent a message: "Tianqin,
I'll go outside and catch a rooster for you and find a centipede to make a mold for you."
Qu Tianqin gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, but what could he do? After all, if there was a fight, he would not be able to catch up with Hua Shaohong, nor could he defeat this bastard.
Zhong Xihou looked at this female celebrity's work and acted very fake. He patted Qu Tianqin's head and said softly: "The talent is great, and the basic training is good, and the magic needle will be the best."
After saying that, he went to the study with Yan Hude, who had taken off his clothes and bowed.
When he arrived at the study, Yan Hude closed the door and window, lay down on the ground again, closed his eyes and put his ears to the ground. After making sure that no one was around, he stood up and nodded to Zhong Xihou.
Zhong Xihou looked at Yan Hude and asked, "Is there any serious problem with his hands and feet?"
"Master Hou, you are very careful, it's just a broken skin." Yan Hude answered and then asked, "Master Hou, are you really willing to dance with the sword?"
Zhong Xihou patted the armrest of the chair, sighed helplessly, and said: "Whether you want to give it up or not, what can you do? How could you have expected that to kill him, a dog slave, Yan Yunqi would send such a ruthless character."
Zhong Xihou sat upright and asked Yan Hude: "Xiao Liang, now you are ranked among the gods in Yanyunqi. Let me ask you, how do you feel about this Hongmeng heart?"
Yan Hude shook his head and listened to his explanation: "Although it is old, this Yanyun Cavalry is not as good as your ANBU. The twelve Heavenly Cavalry members, except myself, have only seen the leader Jiu Dian."
Yan Yu and Hongmeng Xin. Hongmeng Xin has seen him attack four or five times, and each time he was killed with his palm. But now that he has returned to Lincheng, he has seen more tricks in his attacks. If the Marquis and Hongmeng Xin are rivals
,Afraid of six-four.”
"Oh, so." Zhong Xihou responded calmly. He naturally understood who was four and who was six. Zhong Xihou suddenly came to a question that had been bothering him recently and asked, "Xiao Liang, how high is this Hongmeng Heart?
"
"It is said that he survived two heavenly tribulations. If this were not the case, Yan Hude would not dare to say that he and the Marquis are evenly divided."
"Double, heavenly catastrophe?" Zhong Xihou didn't understand what this meant. He had encountered two heavenly catastrophes himself. The first one was eight tornadoes in the desert. He didn't take it seriously. He mistakenly thought it was bad weather and used Wuwu sword to break it.
.The second time, there were ice cones all over the sky, and I hid in the ancient wood forest. There was no danger.
But, what does double heavenly tribulation mean?
Yan Hude also shook his head, not sure what the twin tribulations meant.
Zhong Xihou burst out laughing suddenly. Yan Hude didn't understand. After laughing for four or five times, he stopped laughing. Yan Hude also understood why Zhong Xihou was laughing and what he was laughing at. Hearing Yan Hude's emotion, he said:
"There are actually less than fifty people in the world who have achieved the sixth level of Hongmeng."
Zhong Xihou rested his left elbow on the armrest, supported his cheek with his left fist, and tapped the index finger of his right middle finger rhythmically on the armrest. He suddenly thought of a person, his junior brother, Ying Ruge.
"Xiao Liang, how many people in the world are there who ignore the realm of martial arts like my junior brother, take on challenges beyond the level and never suffer hatred?"
Yan Hude shook his head. Zhong Xihou was very interested and pursed his lips, asking Yan Hude to continue talking.
Just listen to Yan Hude say: "Master Hou, it is impossible for another person like Ying Ruge to appear in the world. Of course, if Liu Sanqing was not willing to sacrifice his life to fulfill him, Hongmeng would not be possible to appear in the world.
Those who are above the border and are cruel and murderous."
"Liu Sanqing?"
Zhong Xihou thought about it for a while and finally gave up.
He had heard of Liu Sanqing, who was said to be a fast swordsman with good movement skills, but it was hard to say whether he would be able to catch his eye.
He had never noticed that there was such a young swordsman in the Central Plains named Liu Sanqing. If he knew this name, he only had a rough memory of it because Fuyunzi had whispered it in his ear several times.
Zhong Xihou was about to ask again, but suddenly there was a knock on the door of the study room. It could not be said that it was
The knock was taken as a knock on the door. He also heard the woman outside the door scolding him. The two people in the room had good hearing and could hear clearly.
The woman said sternly: "Feng'er, it's hard to stand up if you're rude. If you disturb others, you can knock on the door three times. You can't hit them with your palms."
Then I heard a voice laughing a few times, and I could tell from this laughter that its owner was an idiot.
Then I heard three knocks on the door, with appropriate loudness and orderly intervals. After a few moments of silence, I heard a woman's voice outside the house respectfully say: "Your Majesty, my lord, King Gui and his young master, King Fengling, are asking for an audience."
As soon as he heard the name of the visitor, Zhong Xihou immediately felt pain in his temples.
They didn't hear him say anything, just waved their hands, and the people outside the room seemed to see Zhong Xihou's intention through the wooden board, and gently opened the door. Outside the door, there was a woman wearing a white scholar's academic robe and a Northern Qi lady's hair.
The woman behind him is really an idiot.
This idiot was more than ten feet tall, carrying a bamboo tube on his back, wearing sleeveless brown linen clothes, his hair was neatly combed and tied up with a piece of dark blue satin.
As soon as Chi'er saw Zhong Xihou, he immediately ran over with a grin on his face. He ran in front of Zhong Xihou and knelt down with his knees. The sound made people worry that the floor tiles might break?
Chi'er knelt on the side of Zhong Xihou, one hand on Zhong Xihou's left leg, the other hand on the armrest of the chair, and his head on Zhong Xihou's lap, as docile as a little kitten reunited with its owner after a long absence.
Zhong Xihou's eyes were filled with inexplicable affection. He slowly stroked Chi'er's hair and neck with his left hand. He looked at the woman again and asked, "King Gui, what's the matter that will make you leave the city in person?"
The woman placed her hands one inch below her navel, clasped them together, then bent her knees and said Wanfu, and listened to her explanation.
"Go back to the Lord, the city that never sleeps, the evil spirit is about to come out."
Zhong Xihou and Yan Hude immediately twitched their right eyelids and looked at the woman called King Gui in surprise. Before Zhong Xihou could speak, Yan Hude was the first to ask: "King Gui, can that person be among us?"
King Gui nodded, and Marquis Zhong Xi and Yan Hude made the same move again, frowning.
Neither of them would be surprised if the traitor King Gui noticed was an important member of the city's aristocratic family, or a high-ranking officer in the Black Armored Army. However, what Yan Hude asked was, could that person be among us?
This so-called "us" are the thirteen knights under the command of Zhong Xihou. These thirteen people include the Wolf King, the Gui King, and the Wind Spirit King in the house, as well as the archer Hua Shaohong who went out to seek refuge and invited him to Hancheng.
Traveler Huidong.
Marquis Zhongxi asked: "King Gui, what do you think should be done?"
"Hancheng is about to be in chaos. I hope the Marquis will deal with the matter in Lincheng as soon as possible and return to the West as soon as possible."
"Gu, I understand." Zhong Xihou tapped the fingers of his right hand on the armrest again, and the sound became louder and louder. Suddenly, his movements stopped, and he heard him say, "King Gui, maybe it's a divination. There will be no moon this month."
The yin and yang breath of the night.”
King Gui did not make any unnecessary moves, and spoke directly: "Back to the Lord, the moonless night in two days' time will be the birthday of the host."
"Proprietor?"
"The proprietor of the four ghost kings in Fengdu."
Zhong Xihou couldn't help but press his temples fiercely, and heard Yan Hude ask: "King Gui, although I don't understand the difference between yin and yang, what does Ming Dan, the ghost king of the underworld, have to do with mortals?"
"The Wolf King needs to ask the Lord what is the meaning of a moonless night."
Yan Hude opened his eyes and frowned again. Listening to the sound, he was grinding his teeth again. After a moment of silence, Yan Hude opened his mouth and asked tentatively: "But it has something to do with the Lord Controlling Ghosts?"
Zhong Xihou nodded noncommittally, burying his forehead in the palm of his right hand, as if he was swaying from side to side, having trouble making a decision.
Yan Hude walked to King Gui's side, clasped his fists and saluted, and said in a clear voice: "Master Hou, why not let Yan Hude stay in Lincheng to deal with his world sword sect."
Zhong Xihou looked at him without any emotion in his eyes, and heard Yan Hude continue to add: "Hongmeng Xin, once promised Yan Hude something, maybe we can become an alliance."
The two fingers of Zhong Xihou's right hand began to tap the armrest again, and he asked: "Xiao Liang, if you ask for help from Hongmeng Xin, then you will really serve Yanyun Qiyou forever, and you will no longer be the Wolf King of Guxi, let alone repeat it.
Lord of the state."
Yan Hude did not hesitate and responded loudly: "Yan Hude can only die to repay his kindness. However, I hope that the marquis will treat my subjects well."
There was silence in the house for a long time, or there was time for a cup of tea. Suddenly, there was a noise outside the house, with people cursing, crying, and chaos.
The owner and the two kings in the room couldn't help but frown. It was indeed the idiot who rushed out first, his movements as fast and violent as three stone arrows leaving the string.
Near the door, I saw him slapping open the door with his right hand. The door creaked and flew away. He moved his left hand back and pulled out the sword that looked like a sword but not a sword.
Then, the sound of weapons being exchanged was heard, the Wind Spirit King chuckled, and another person kept shouting words like "misunderstanding".
Zhong Xihou and Yan Hude heard the voice of the master and hurriedly flew to grab the door.
Outside the house, Wind Spirit King and Zhu Yinuo were locked in a sword fight. Wind Spirit King turned around and stabbed, Zhu Yinuo dodged and then handed out a sword "Supervisor Break Armor".
Wind Spirit King found this sword interesting and avoided it, but the sword energy still cut his linen clothes on the chest. Looking at Wind Spirit King again, his face was full of anger, and he also handed out a sword, the sword force was fast and fierce, this time it was his turn.
I suffered a loss when I arrived at Zhu Yinuo.
Zhu Yinuo could have avoided this sword, but when he saw that the sword handed out by the Wind Spirit King was actually the "Supervisory Armor Breaking" that he had just used, he was slightly distracted and was struck by the sword-less sword of the Wind Spirit King.
A sharp long sword penetrated the right shoulder.
Zhu Yinuo raised his leg and kicked the wrist of Wind Spirit King's left hand that was holding the sword. Before his toes touched, Wind Spirit King moved quickly and raised his leg, but kicked Zhu Yinuo first.
With that kick, Zhu Yinuo was kicked hard in the abdomen by the Wind Spirit King. He flew back three to four feet and fell heavily to the ground. The long sword was also pulled out of his right shoulder in an instant, and blood splattered two feet high.
.
Zhu Yinuo used the Double Dragon Sword to prop himself up on the ground, barely steadying himself and standing up.
Marquis Zhongxi and Yanhu Deliang saw in the yard a servant hiding in the corner holding a broom and shivering. Beside him was Zang Yan, who was crying. The person in Zang Yan's arms was actually someone whose name Zhongxihou still didn't know.
Qin Ji.
Qinji was lying in Zangyan's arms, the blood on the corner of her mouth was almost dry. Zangyan covered her abdomen with a handkerchief, and the originally green handkerchief was soaked with blood. But this Qinji had long since lost her life and was motionless.
.
Zhong Xihou looked at Zhu Yinuo, and Zhu Yinuo looked at Zhong Xihou and then at Qin Ji. He urged himself to stand up straight, pulled out the double dragon sword from the stone slab, and wiped away the remaining blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand.
, no longer panicked, the light in his eyes was instead determined, he cleared his throat and said: "City Lord Zhong, you also know that Yi Shuihan is my Lincheng swordsman, why would my sword of Yi Shuihan appear on this person?
make?"
Marquis Zhong Xi said nothing and looked at Zang Yan. The beautiful woman with tears on her face also raised her head and looked at Marquis Zhong Xi, but tears welled up again and she shook her head vigorously.
Zhong Xihou looked at Zhu Yinuo again. The young prince of Jinling City was angry. He held the sword hilt in his right hand and made a "squeak" sound. Zhu Yinuo raised the sword levelly, pointed at Zhong Xihou, and asked: "Zhongcheng Lord
, you would rather trust a servant than trust me!"
Zhong Xihou sighed softly and shook his head, but his voice was strong and upright, as if he did not allow others to argue. He heard him say: "I don't believe you, and I don't believe this girl. But, are you too disrespectful to kill people in Gu's yard?"
.”
Zhu Yinuo was stunned for a moment, then looked at Qin Ji, waved his hand quickly, and explained: "No, no, no, I didn't kill her, I stabbed her in the back..."
Zhong Xihou signaled Zang Yan to turn Qin Ji's body. Zhu Yinuo couldn't help but his eyes widened. Not only was Qin Ji's back covered with a sword wound, but there were no tears or cracks in her clothes. To say that she was stabbed from behind with a sword was really untrue.
Reality.
The Wind Spirit King was not happy, so he stamped his feet with the seven or eight-year-old child and said in a coquettish tone: "Father, Aunt Gui, I still want to play with him."
King Gui did not dare to say anything, but looked at Zhong Xihou. At this time, Yan Hude stood in front of Zhu Yinuo, clasping his fists, and said: "Master Hou, Zhu Yinuo is the young prince of Jinling. Even if he makes mistakes, he will never
Absolutely not."
"Wind Spirit King, the middle finger of your right hand."
When King Fengling heard Zhong Xihou's order, he was so happy that he waved his sword and ran towards Zhu Yinuo.
Zhu Yinuo had no strength left to block the sword. He was about to forcefully raise his breath, but the fishy smell rose up in his throat. He couldn't swallow it and vomited out a mouthful of black blood. Looking at it again, his disheveled hair was full of blood.
There was blood and the clothes were in tatters.
Yan Hude sighed and shook his head slightly. He spread his arms and glided backwards.
Zhu Yinuo tried to block it with his sword, but Yan Hude raised his right hand and knocked away the double dragon sword. Zhu Yinuo lost his center of gravity and almost fell to the ground, but Yan Hude frowned and helped the young prince before him.
The Wind Spirit King was not happy and stabbed Yan Hude directly with his sword. Yan Hude couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw Chi'er becoming seriously angry and excited. He held Zhu Yinuo with both hands, unable to free himself, and saw him sucking in a sharp breath.
At the same time, Wind Spirit King's sword was only half a foot away from him, but Yan Hude roared. The roar was like a wild lion, majestic and deafening.
In an instant, a strong wind blew up, and it was like a city wall pushing towards King Fengling. King Fengling was pushed back seven or eight steps, and he adjusted his steps before chasing after him. Yan Hude had already supported Zhu Yinuo and grabbed the door to leave.
The Wind Spirit King was so angry that he threw his long sword to the ground and stamped his feet several times. He turned his head and looked at Zhong Xihou angrily.
Zhong Xihou ignored them, but stood straight, frowned, put his hands behind his back, and looked at the direction the two of them were leaving.
"Master Hou, you must seek justice for the burnt bones."
Jiaogu? Only now did Zhong Xihou know that Qin Ji, the little maid in front of people and the eldest lady in the queen, is called Jiaogu.
He looked at Zang Yan, who was sobbing uncontrollably, and nodded. Before King Gui could speak again, he only heard him say: "King Fengling, capture Zhu Yinuo."
When the Wind Spirit King heard this, he was happy again, picked up his sword and rushed out.
Before King Fengling went out, he heard Zhong Xihou add another sentence: "Only the middle finger of the right hand can be used."
The Wind Spirit King didn't stop and only responded with a silly laugh.
King Gui looked at Zhong Xihou, as if asking. Zhong Xihou said in a cold voice, "King Gui, Lincheng and Xidi are two places after all, do you understand?"
When King Gui heard this, he understood the meaning and stopped talking. The only thing she was curious about was why a wolf-like guy like Yan Hude would protect Zhu Yinuo, which was also interesting.
At the other end, just after leaving Zhong Xihou's house, two figures, one black and one white, jumped out from the darkness.
The two of them look like children. The girl in white wears a smiling mask and carries a sword that is nearly three feet long and as bright as snow. The boy in black wears a mask with a crying face and also carries a sword that is nearly three feet long.
Black as ink.
Although Yan Hude knew the identity of the two people, he still instinctively launched a defensive posture. When the girl in white saw that the young master was seriously injured, she was about to step forward to question Yan Hude, but she felt a sword energy coming from behind Yan Hude and Zhu Yinuo.
The boy in black flew up, drew out the sword from behind and faced him. With lightning, the two of them had exchanged swords against each other dozens of times. The boy in black actually dropped slightly and fell to the ground, still feeling short of breath.
Just listen to the boy in black shouting in a hoarse and tearing voice: "Let's go!"
The girl in white stood behind him, and the boy in black still had the same harsh and unpleasant voice, and roared again: "Let's go!"
The girl in white was about to speak, but she understood his intention. Although this is Jinling City, Zhu Yinuo is the young prince of Jinling, and his safety cannot be neglected.
The girl in white looked back three times, and finally pulled out the sword as bright as snow from behind and threw it at the boy in black. Without turning her head, the boy in black threw the black sword back, stretched out her right hand, and held the thrown sword.
That sword was as bright as snow. Look at his own black sword. After a parabola, it was inserted steadily into the scabbard on the back of the lesbian in white.
"I will be back!"
The girl in white nodded at the back of the boy in black, but the expression under the mask was not a mask-like smile. The girl in white bit her lip, and left with Yan Hude protecting Zhu Yinuo, and finally did not look back.
