'There is a nameless hidden mountain in the south of the Tang Dynasty, and there is a hidden gate in the mountain. The warriors in the gate lead Qi into Taoism and practice martial arts...'
'After you have mastered your skills, you will hide among the people, travelers, cultivators, mulberry farmers, delivery people, singers and dancers, and those who live in the world, and secretly influence the general trend of the government and the public...'
'There is a former Jiedushi envoy, the daughter of Wangyouhou. She was adopted by the elders of the sect at the age of three. She practiced extraordinary martial arts and became the best among the children in the sect...'
'Ten years later, I gained a sense of energy, so I went down the mountain, sneaked into the Xu Mansion, worked as a maid, and plotted an assassination...'
…
Zhou Yi's thoughts swayed slightly, and these lines of small black characters emerged from the air.
As early as when he first entered the Xu Mansion, he had seen this small black text about the origin of Xiangzhu - she was a descendant of a certain Jiedushi of the Tang Dynasty and a disciple of the Yin Sect. She entered the Xu Mansion two years ago and became an undercover agent.
.
After more than a month, Zhou Yi and Xiangzhu have become very familiar with each other. Looking at these small words again, it is a different feeling.
Let’s not talk about anything else for now.
Just from the fact that Xiangzhu has already expired, but still has not completed the trial task assigned to her by the Hidden Sect, it can be seen that she has not been completely brainwashed and controlled by the Southern Hidden Sect, which is known to be omnipresent.
In other words, she has been weighing the pros and cons and looking for the best solution for herself.
After all, the task assigned to her by Yinmen was as difficult as S level...
——Assassinate the former prime minister of Tang Dynasty, Wenzong of Zhongtu, Xu Wentai!
That's right, it's the prodigal Xu Gong who has been personally guarded by experts all year round, traveled around the mountains and rivers, and let himself go, but has not returned yet.
"Why?" Zhou Yi asked softly.
Xiangzhu was startled, and in a trance he recalled the night before Biyin was killed, when the wind and rain were blowing, the monk seemed to have asked the same question.
Although there are only two words, they are as heavy as mountains and rivers, making people feel slightly suffocated.
Xiangzhu took a deep breath, bent towards Zhou Yi and crossed her hands: "Mr. Nu Zhi is not an ordinary monk. I sincerely ask for your protection."
So, the best solution you, the young lady, have been thinking about is to find the monk as a shield?
Zhou Yi looked at the "maid" who was bending over to bow down and looking more and more heavy. He couldn't help but flash back to Xiangzhu's careful care of him for more than a month, and his busy schedule, as well as the thirty-four days of continuous check-in without any interruption.
Wash your hair intermittently.
It has to be said that Xiangzhu's hands are soft and smooth, but quite powerful. They last longer than ordinary maids, and she even comes with her own "pillow cushion" after washing and drying... Of course, this is the least worth mentioning.
All in all, the skill of washing hair is truly unforgettable and truly unparalleled.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yi couldn't help but smile and clasped his hands together: "That's good."
Xiangzhu's face was filled with joy: "Sir, this is your promise."
Zhou Yi put down his hands: "I don't agree."
"Ah?" Xiangzhu was startled, and suddenly became angry and puffed up his cheeks: "Why? There is no slave, sir, but are you planning to wash your hair by yourself every day?"
Zhou Yi laughed and shouted the Buddha's name.
"Young maid, how ridiculous...you actually threatened the young monk with washing your hair? If you are really innocent and you are like a fish in water in the Xu Mansion, why do you need the young monk's protection?"
Xiangzhu remained silent.
Zhou Yi stood up, walked to Xiangzhu, and sat down facing the wooden bucket filled with ginger water.
"We will discuss this matter again when you finally think it through."
Before Xiangzhu could speak, Zhou Yi said again: "By the way, where does the young widower Chen Chi live? How many people are there in the family? Any unusual behavior? You can find out more tomorrow and tell the young monk together."
Now that we have learned from Wu Zhangxu Hua, the power of his once-a-day sword energy is actually not weak.
He's even a little tough.
At least in this county, it can rule the roost among the evil spirits it senses.
Combining the experiences of these days and the descriptions in the small black letters, there should be no difference.
In this case, there is no need for me to "take it seriously" anymore.
I found the strange black-winged bird in the shadow of Chen Chi, which was obviously very strange.
Cut it with one sword, and you will be rewarded with green smoke.
This is the new generation that promotes good and eliminates evil when the road is rough... it is also the social responsibility that the last generation of Tang monks should fulfill!
By the way, I will improve my strength a little more and be prepared to go out of Wenhe County in the future, visit the eminent monks in the county, and get approval to return to secular life.
Good! Good!
"Crack!"
That round and smooth head, like the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, was pressed into the bucket by the maid's white and ruthless hands.
Splashing water flowers.
"Humph, there are so many things to do, you stinky hand, wash your head!"
…
Wenhe County Government.
Lu Wujiu anxiously walked around under the elm tree in front of Santang Courtyard.
He has been wondering these days whether he is delaying time and secretly looking for Chen Chi.
It is better to report it directly to the superior and issue a list for arrest.
Early this morning, he went to see Lieutenant Zhu Xian, who was in charge of arresting the thieves, for information. Unexpectedly, he heard a piece of news that shocked him.
A few days ago, Guangyuan County Government had sent a team of people to quietly come to Wenhe County to investigate a murder case.
As for this murder case that even alarmed the prefect of the county, all clues point to an inconspicuous small village on the edge of Wenhe County - Wangcai Village.
It was the village where Chen Chi was located.
Crunch…
The sound of the door axis turning came from the front of the three main halls.
Lu Wu Jiu quickly retracted his head and squatted motionless behind the elm tree, imagining himself as a big mushroom.
Wenhe County Yamen has three halls.
Case handling and interrogation in the lobby.
The second hall handles official business.
The third hall is where the four officials, the county magistrate, the county lieutenant, the county prime minister and the chief registrar, conduct daily business affairs. They also occasionally receive senior officials from the county government.
At this time, the top leader of Wenhe County, Magistrate Zhang, was sending a tall woman out of the third hall with a polite face.
The woman wears a vermilion robe trimmed with gold, her black hair is tied into a bun, and an emerald bead hairpin is inserted into it. Her facial features are beautiful, and she is lightly painted with pink and white, but she cannot hide her heroic spirit that is not inferior to that of the man.
Lu Wu Jiu stroked his chin and sighed secretly.
Suddenly, a chill ran down his spine.
On the stone steps, next to the red lacquered column, the dashing young lady stared at him without knowing why.
There seemed to be strands of invisible tentacles in the air, wrapping around Lu Fengxiao's body and limbs, like soft but tough water plants, and he could not break free no matter how hard he tried.
"Qi...qi sense?"
Lu Wujiu was shocked in his heart.
His whole body is full of vitality and blood, his arms are nearly a thousand kilograms strong, and he can shoot a three-stone bow. Five or six tough bandits cannot get close to him, and he is not afraid of a dozen or so little robbers.
Looking at the county government, he is the second master after Zhu Xianwei.
To use the jargon in the martial arts world, it is close to "skill completion".
However, that little lady made herself unable to move with just one look.
Only the current masters who have gained the sense of Qi can do this.
What a terrifying female insect!
Mr. Lu also had a bad temper. He stared at the woman with wide eyes and struggled with all his strength without begging for mercy.
Lieutenant Zhu, who still walked down the Yamen hall, found Mr. Lu lying with his legs stretched out next to a tree, foaming at the mouth and twitching constantly. He was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly stepped forward and said something to the woman.
The woman nodded slightly, lowered her eyes, retracted her gaze, and left.
Lu Wujiu got up, wiped the foam from his lips, and said "Fat" to his immediate superior, Lieutenant Zhu Xian, who came to check on him as if nothing had happened.
"I have met Zhu Jun. May I ask who the young lady just now is?"
County Lieutenant Zhu patted Lu Wujiu: "You are a bad person from the county who possesses miraculous skills. I just showed mercy to you."
"He is indeed a bad person!"
Lu Wu Jiu had a strange look on his face: "Could it be that that little lady is the leader of the bad guys... the bad handsome guy?"
Lieutenant Zhu Xian smiled: "How can there be such a young bad handsome man? Besides, which bad handsome man I am going to is not a master of building a house? Or even a master who can watch the soul? Don't ask about that lady. Yes.
What are you doing here instead of being a filial piety?"
Lu Wujiu took a long breath, saluted Zhuxian Lieutenant again, and said solemnly: "A certain person came to report to Zhuxian Lord, and he was Chen Chi, the former coroner of the Yamen. Because I sympathized with his life experience, I talked with him on weekdays.
He has close contacts and provides many aids. But I didn’t expect that this son is crazy and steals burial goods from the market. I also ask Zhu Jun to issue an official document and draw pictures to arrest this beast!"
Lieutenant Zhu Xian took a deep look at Mr. Lu and showed a satisfied smile: "I have known about this for a long time. I also know that you usually take great care of Chen Chi. That's why I didn't tell you the truth."
Lu Wu Jiu looked surprised: "The truth?"
Lieutenant Zhu Xian stroked his beard and his eyes flashed coldly: "This boy is suspected of having killed three officials from the capital. He killed people, took their wealth, and dumped their bodies in the wilderness. His methods were extremely cruel, and he attracted a famous bad guy just now. But can you take the initiative?
I am very pleased to propose this. You are still responsible for this case... Fengxiao, you are known as a divine catcher, and Wenhe County is our territory, so don’t be outdone by the bad guys in the county."
Listening to Lieutenant Zhu's meaningful voice, Lu Wujiu crossed his hands and accepted the order, but a cold sweat broke out on his back.
Fortunately, I made a decisive decision and cut off the relationship with Chen Chi.
Only then did he regain the trust of Zhu Xianwei.
Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen, you brought it upon yourself, but don’t blame me, brother, for not remembering our old friendship.
