Chapter 1573 The nobles of Wutong County(1/2)
The Zhongwu Hou Ning Qin stepped on the bloody side and entered the imperial palace surrounded by the Iron Cavalry and Guards.
At this moment, everyone is paying attention!
...
Deep in the wide alley, the brothels and prostitutes in the past were hung high in the past and crowded with people. Today, it was pitch black and quiet, almost like a ghost house. I don’t know where the girls here and the guests who came to visit for fun have gone now.
A middle-aged man wearing bloody clothes and still bleeding and extremely pale face left a string of bloody footprints on the clean wooden floor of this brothel.
His expression was calm, and there was a little unwillingness in his eyes before, but his helplessness had dissipated, with only a quiet feeling.
The middle-aged guest didn't seem to be surprised. Today, he was just moving forward silently, obviously he had found the person he was looking for.
Walking through the corridor, in the fragrant wind, he reached out and pushed forward. The door opened and the light flowed out from it.
The woman sitting upright at the round table was the owner of this brothel, but now there is no trace of charm between her eyebrows and eyes, and the only thing left is calm and composed. She stood up to salute her, her appearance and demeanor were like a noble lady, inviolable.
"Huicu Lou, thank you Mr. Zhou."
The middle-aged guest looked calm, "If I fail to kill someone, I will become a chess piece in your hands. I don't care, but according to the previous agreement, as long as I take action, no matter whether I succeed or not, I will give me anything... as long as I am still alive."
The woman showed guilt in her eyes and her face became more and more sincere and respectful. "Sir, I am very righteous. I will stay here and wait for it in order to fulfill the contract, and I will hand it over to the Mr. himself."
She turned her hands and a wooden box appeared, and there was no trace of carving in all corners of the square, and she couldn't even find the opening.
The middle-aged guest had sensed a trace of energy covered by the wooden box, and nodded, "Thank you."
The woman dared not bear his word "刘" and avoided her sideways, and presented her wooden box with both hands.
The middle-aged guest reached out to pick it up, turned around and left, his bloody footprints turned around, and he disappeared in the darkness, gradually moving away.
The woman with a good appearance and a transcendent temperament widened her eyes slightly, showing a vibration and was stunned. The next moment, a blood line quietly appeared, between her white and delicate neck, and her head fell to the ground with a "bang".
Taking the risk of staying in the building, waiting for the middle-aged guest to arrive, she is indeed representing Huicui Building and completing the transaction with Mr. Zhou.
But the previous agreement, as the middle-aged guest said, everything is based on the fact that he is still alive. In other words, if the middle-aged guest dies, the things in the wooden box can be left in Huicuilou.
Of course the woman didn't want to embezzle her, and she didn't dare to do it, but it would be a great contribution to keeping the wooden box and getting Mr. Zhou's head.
But the woman did not expect that the poison that would be smeared on the surface of the wooden box would have no effect on the middle-aged guest.
Moreover, most importantly, he was injured in such a situation and could die at any time, but he still had the ability to kill people at a glance. However, the previous information clearly stated that the middle-aged guest had lost his magical powers in the face of the imperial guards.
Is it because the middle-aged guest had hidden a hand, or is it that someone in the building deliberately wanted her to die? There may be both, but the woman could no longer investigate the truth of the matter.
The middle-aged guest stepped out of Huicui Building and fell to the ground in one step. His eyes became dimmer, like the last fallen leaf on the branches in late autumn, struggling to part with him, rolling and struggling in the rustling autumn wind.
Start one step, fall one step.
He staggered and reached out to hold the screen. The middle-aged guest's breath was finally disordered, and he breathed for a few breaths and smiled bitterly on his face.
"Xiao Zhou, is it you?"
The woman's weak voice came, revealing anxiety.
The middle-aged guest took a deep breath, raised his hand and pointed it between his eyebrows, and a breeze surrounded his body. I don’t know how powerful he used, his terrifying injuries were. In a blink of an eye, he recovered as before, and there was no trace of it. Even the one, which was soaked in blood, was as smooth as new now.
With a rosy complexion and a bright eyes, the middle-aged guest stepped out and responded with a smile, "It's me."
When he walked to the sickbed, he sat sideways and held the woman in his arms, "Don't worry, I said that I will never let you down when I come to see you alive."
The woman with a skinny and ill face and a sickly face smiled and nodded vigorously.
The middle-aged guest took out the wooden box and placed it on the woman's chest, "I finally found the thing to save you. You just need to sleep for a while. After you wake up, all the illnesses and pains will pass."
He lowered his head, and he kissed the woman in his arms with guilt, "But I'm afraid I can't continue to be with you anymore. The noise this time was too big and I didn't succeed. I must leave Didu temporarily to avoid the pursuit from the Western Wilderness."
The sick-looking woman widened her eyes, and her mouth moved, trying to say something, but the wooden box that fell on her body had begun to emit light, and wisps of it were like water mist, which merged into her body along her mouth and nose, repairing her body like a dead tree, and at the same time she felt irresistible tiredness.
The middle-aged guest's appearance became blurred, but his smile was still gentle and heartwarming, "Sleep, I will definitely come back to find you."
The woman fell asleep. The middle-aged guest looked down for a few breaths and suddenly started coughing. He raised his hand to cover his mouth and carefully put the woman in his arms down.
His steps were a little hurry, and he turned to the screen and stepped into the darkness in one step. At the moment when the middle-aged guest entered the darkness, the "puff" sounded low and dull, like a spring breaking through the confinement above his head.
...
At the dynasty meeting, the Emperor of Western Wilderness was furious and was severely rebuked the Didu Guard Division for the assassination of Zhongwu Hou.
Several generals from the military headquarters knelt on their way to apologize. The nobles who had never been touched were left behind and watched coldly.
The military is in a big way and suppresses all parties. They are happy to see these generals lose face without any damage.
But at the same time, he looked subconsciously at the Hou Zhongwu who was more conspicuous because of the number of generals leaving the list.
Not far from the Imperial Palace, although the details of the assassination in the night have not been revealed yet, they have already known the general content. The terrifying and terrifying level is that even if the review is reviewed from the standpoint of the bystander, I feel extremely frightened, and I feel even more sweating behind it.
But the Zhongwu Hou Ning Qin was still alive. Except for his slightly pale face, he could not tell what injuries he had suffered.
It's simply terrible!
Finally, at the dynasty meeting, His Majesty issued a bold order to deprive Ye Yuantai, who had just replaced the position and became one of the chief generals of the Didu Governor's garrison.
And he, after his birth, was one of the most important chess pieces in his layout.
Show your sharpness and show your murderous intent!
The important officials in the court changed their faces. Although they knew that the imperial family had the idea of punishing the Hou Ye family, such violent behavior would most likely cause uncontrollable consequences, which was the worst result for the Western Wilderness.
Ye Bohu respectfully apologized for his crimes and expressed his lack of discipline, which led to Ye Yuantai's dereliction of duty and was willing to receive punishment from His Majesty.
The emperor sat above the ninth level and looked at Ye Bohu who apologized for guilt. Just when the ministers were worried that His Majesty would take advantage of the victory and beat the Ye family in the back, the emperor suddenly laughed and scolded, saying that the Ye family in the back is great, and there can be no trouble, and you, Ye Bohu, will be responsible.
Let him get up and list the assassination, and then it was revealed lightly.
Next, the great court will come to an end in peace.
The emperor stood up and left, and Ye Bohu suddenly set out to walk over. The ministers' expressions changed slightly, and they took the initiative to retreat on both sides.
The one who is the one in the old Ye family is not here, he is the one with the highest status and strongest strength in the court today.
Even now, even if you are not happy by Your Majesty, the Ye family is in turmoil, but the dust has not settled for a day, and no one dares to underestimate it.
Qin Yu looked up and looked at Ye Bohu opposite him. He looked calm, but Qin Yu felt endless murderous intent from this calmness.
Fierce and violent, it is like a real tiger descending from the mountain, with eyes locked in its prey.
"Marquis Zhongwu, there seems to be some misunderstandings between me and you."
Qin Yu bowed, "Martial Ye is so serious. The last general has always admired the Ye family in his heart. Even if there are some minor problems, they have been exposed."
Ye Bohu suddenly smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Revealed it? This word is well used, I like it."
He stepped forward and patted Qin Yu on the shoulder, "It's all a military lineage. If you have the chance in the future, you will be more close to you and I."
Qin Yu smiled, "It must."
Ye Bohu turned around and left, with a dragon soaring and tiger strides, with extraordinary momentum.
...
There have been many years in the Didu, and such a bad thing has never happened. The important minister of the court was assassinated on the street during the grand meeting.
The influence is far-reaching and we must investigate it to the end. Otherwise, what face can we say about the dignified Western Empire?
Ye Yuantai, one of the chief generals of the Didu garrison, was dismissed on the spot. The generals of the Didu garrison, with a solemn face, gritted their teeth and locked the whole city.
Huicui Building, which had been hidden in the shadows, was pulled to the sun by being arrogant and fierce.
Chasing, counter-killing, fleeing... A series of outbreaks made today's Didu seem more chaotic and nervous than in the past years.
On such a day, the middle-aged man holding a letter of order walked through the closed city gate.
He turned around and waved to the city gate guard. A bright smile appeared on the other person's face, his eyes full of enthusiasm.
The middle-aged man smiled slightly and thought to himself that the general was afraid that he would be secretly happy and would all fall into the empty place.
His current identity and sacrificial pie are all borrowed. Even to some extent, it is really impossible to be true, but the promises he gave are really not possible.
It is wrong to lie, but I can’t do anything about it. You can’t just walk into the Western Wilderness and die, right?
Tsk tsk!
The middle-aged man grinned, showing a completely different smile from his previous performance, and his figure merged into the abortion without seeing him.
At the city gate, the city gate guard who had been wiping saliva turned red on his face as if he had drunk a few kilograms of wine, and his feet were light and weak.
The confidant looked at his home and smiled bitterly: "General, the great men in the military headquarters have been really angry. Lord Ye Yuantai was dismissed from his post on the spot. You released someone into Didu privately. If this matter is discovered, it will be difficult to be good."
The guard glanced at him and sneered, "You bastards are afraid of being implicated by me? Humph! A group of ungrateful wolves who are not familiar with me don't want to be the general, but you all have today?"
Of course, a group of personal soldiers knew that they were timid and afraid of things at the top of the mountain, otherwise they would not have been in the position of a goalkeeper for so many years and would not have been able to get promoted.
Today, if you dare to take the most of the world, you will definitely be sure to let the middle-aged man who was just now, who looked noble. The problem should be that the middle-aged man took it out and only gave it to the general.
But the key is that even if you can guess, you still feel uneasy. After all, your neck is already tied to your belt, and maybe you will fall off with a "click".
After a look, the goalkeeper curled his lips with a smile, but couldn't help but reveal his secret, "You know, that person is a noble man from Wutong County, even the imperial palace can be free to enter and exit, let alone our small city gate. I dare to stop him? I am really tired of living!"
The nobles of Wutong County, freely entered and left the imperial palace... Thinking of a taboo topic that had been mentioned, a group of subordinates changed their faces. Then they looked at their own peak and their eyes became more eager.
Damn it, you bastard don’t get promoted, how can you get promoted and make money if you don’t get promoted?
The city gate guard smiled proudly, "Shut up, I'll keep it tightly. I know it's a sin to lose my head, so don't talk nonsense."
To be continued...
