Chapter 525 Zuo Qianhu
Author: Guo Family
There is a glimmer of light in the sky in the night, and the darker the environment, the more obvious it is. However, if you have a torch on hand that has a brighter light than the sky, you will not feel the glimmer of light in the sky. This is because the human eye is sensitive to the environmental light sensitivity...
In ancient times, poor families rarely went out at night except for some special occupations. Because it is difficult to see meat and fishy food on weekdays and cannot supplement vitamin A, they basically had night blindness. The darkness in the eyes of normal people is really dark for night blind people.
Therefore, there are very few people traveling at night.
Unless it is a special profession, thieves or bandits or officers and soldiers.
At this moment, a team slowly moved forward on the mountain road, dressed in clothes and were the men of the court.
Several big horses in front opened the road, and there was a horse dragging a cart in the middle. There was no carriage, only a wooden rack for prisoners. On it was an old man with his hands locked by iron chains. He was unkempt and had his eyes closed and he didn't know if he was asleep.
Next to the wooden shelf is a man wearing a simple red armor and a black cloak. He checks the situation of the old prisoner from time to time and seems to be very concerned about his life and death...
The man was named Zuoxiong, and he was a thousand households in the imperial court. His duty was to station important prefectures and prefectures to suppress some traitors and rebel the party and maintain local order.
This time, Zuo Xiong was ordered by the emperor as Zuo Qianhu, responsible for escorting Fu Tianchou, the Minister of Rites who had the "heart of rebellion", to the capital to meet the saint. He waited for the emperor to deal with it further. The journey was stormy and Fu Tianchou was old. Zuo Xiong was very worried that he would die on the road due to the fatigue of boats and cars...
If you fail to do things well, you will disobey the imperial edict. At the least, the whole family will be beheaded, and at the worst, the nine clans will be destroyed.
Fu Tianchou hung his hands on the wooden rack. He could only stand on the wooden board and could not sit down at all. Even if he wanted to live, he would have difficulty living. At this moment, he was completely dependent on the safety of his daughters outside and forced himself to hold on.
He served as the governor and the Minister of Rites. He thought that he could turn the darkness of the officialdom by his own efforts, but he did not expect that the rioters had seriously penetrated the court, covered the emperor's eyes and ears, and used the emperor's hands to eliminate dissidents, and framed loyal and kind people...
Thinking of this, Fu Tianchou couldn't help feeling a little frustrated. When he was young, he studied hard for fifteen years, and was in love with the world. He wanted to benefit the people, but in the end he could do nothing!
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. In addition, when he saw the reckless man who was escorting him, he couldn't help but say angrily: "Don't stare at me, I can't die for the time being! The prestige of the court is seriously damaged, not trusted by the people, and not favored by the people. It's all you mindless people who don't know how to distinguish right from wrong and grievances and become butchers in the hands of treacherous ministers, and cut us all the loyal ministers and righteous men!"
Zuo Xiong heard Fu Tianchou's scolding, was silent for a moment, took out the water bag and handed it over: "Mr. Fu, drink some water to moisten your throat."
He looked at the scars on Fu Tianchou's wrists and sighed in his heart. The court rules must be followed by the rules, and it is impossible for Fu Tianchou to sit and go to the capital.
"Mr. Fu, the grudges in the court are not something I can do. Usually, things are inconsistent with black and white. I... just act on orders, but I promise that I will send Master Fu to the capital safely."
Fu Tianchou was excluded by all officials of the court and was wronged. Of course Zuo Xiong knew that, but as he said, no matter how powerful he was, he was just a martial artist. There was no problem in killing the enemy in battle, but it was impossible to intervene in the court's arrangements...
What he can do is to try his best to seek help from a high-ranking official who is capable of speaking in front of the emperor.
For example, the emperor's popular guardian law, who has been around the emperor recently, can only carry out all sacrifices in the palace. The emperor must first ask the law to agree to it. You can imagine how powerful its influence is...
At this moment, the team stopped.
The subordinate who was opening the road ahead turned his head and came over: "Master Qianhu, there is a person blocking the road ahead. The dark night is windy. We can't see his appearance clearly, so we dare not act rashly for the time being!"
Zuo Xiong frowned and reached out to press his hand on the hilt of the saddle: "I'll go and take a look!"
When he rode his horse to the team, he looked closely and saw that there was indeed someone standing in the middle of a mountain road, wearing a long gown and short hair. The scholars did not look like scholars, and monks did not look like monks. He shouted: "I am a thousand households in the court. I am escorting the imperial prisoners to Beijing under the orders. Who dares to block my way? Could it be that they are going to oppose the court?"
The visitor looked at Zuo Qianhu's outfit carefully, as if he was looking for something, Zuo Qianhu felt very uncomfortable.
The person who came was Chen Chushi. He saw Zuo Qianhu, who had the most charming characteristics in "The Way of the World", was indeed extraordinary, and his qi and blood were much richer than ordinary people!
He clasped his fists and said straight to the point: "I am Chen Chushi, now the world is chaotic, good and evil are difficult to distinguish, the gods are not obvious, the underworld is empty, I see Qianhu and Lord Fu are loyal and courageous, not as brave as those who fear power, so I specially invite the two underworlds to be civil and military judges to be living human bodies. As usual during the day, judge cases at night and kill demons and eliminate demons, how about?"
In order to avoid misunderstandings, Chen Chushi spoke very quickly, especially the word "to live a living body" was very serious.
The underworld, isn’t that a place where only dead people go? Zuo Qianhu’s eyes are better than his subordinates. Seeing that Chen Chushi doesn’t look like a liar in the world. It’s late at night, it’s better to take a break and see what the other party wants to say…
Just then!
The glass bottle hanging around Chen Chushi's waist suddenly floated up and made a sharp voice: "Zuo Qianhu! I am the court protecting the country and law-paying Cihang. I went out of the palace to preach, misunderstood the demon, and was harmed by him, and my soul was sealed in the bottle! Take action to kill the demon, don't give him time to cast spells. When I return to the palace, I will definitely say a few more good words to you in front of the emperor!"
Chen Chushi: "..."
After the battle to attack the old monster in Black Mountain, Pudu Cihang was severely injured and showed his true form, becoming a small centipede, looking half-dead.
She sealed it in a glass bottle of alcohol to hold its life and prevent it from recovering from its injuries. Chen Chushi knew that it was not dead, but he didn't know why he kept silent. It turned out that the destined person was waiting for it...
"Fa Zhang's voice!"
Zuo Xiong's position is neither high nor low. The emperor has seen it several times, but the guardian law has had several close communications. The impression is that he is kind and talks extraordinary, and there seems to be a Buddha's light shining all over his body! Zuo Xiong has heard of the fact that Pudu Cihang is going out to preach to the people of the world...
But he was caught, which he didn't expect.
The strange Taoist Zuo Xiong didn't know, but Pudu Cihang knew the special voice. He thought quickly in his heart, and immediately pulled out the long-handled Pu (po) knife from the saddle and shouted loudly: "Taoist, remove the bottle on your waist at speed, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!" As soon as the voice came out, the person had arrived, the tip of the knife had reached Chen Chushi's head, and the speed was as fast as lightning!
Chen Chushi's two fingers of the middle of the food covered the golden light curse, and banged on the blade of the Pu Dao. The sound of metal sounded, and his fingers were numb. Zuo Qianhu's knife was more powerful than he thought! He also wanted to compete with this character who was known as the martial arts ceiling among the "Human Dao" characters...
Zuo Xiong saw the man blocking the blade with two fingers, his heart skipped a beat, his arms veins swelled up, and he pressed them down with force!
Chen Chushi's feet fell into the ground and slid across his ankles. The surrounding ground could not withstand Zuo Xiong's power. With a rumbling explosion, stones and soil were everywhere...
