Bastards

In the blink of an eye, the picturesque small courtyard, which was originally intoxicatingly scented with flowers, has become a battlefield full of gunpowder and smoke.

Four figures fought against each other in the air. The unknown assassins were dressed in three different colors of gray, white and black, and covered their faces with cloth scarves of the same color.Yang Xuan is different from them, although they are also black clothes, after all, they are guests at the banquet, the styles are different from assassins, and the tailoring is very particular, which not only shows the figure but also shows the momentum. leather mask.

The weapons in the hands of the four people are also different, some wield a knife, some wield a sword, and some wield a halberd. Yang Xuan wields the dagger that he always carries with him.

Ordinarily speaking, in terms of weapons, one inch is longer and one inch is stronger. The shorter the weapon, the easier it is to suffer. This seems to be of no use to Yang Xuan.The dagger in his hand is very short, not much longer than the palm of his hand, but his wrist is very flexible, stabbing, blocking, hooking, entanglement, stirring... forehand, backhand, a short dagger, played by him, it seems like this With a dagger in hand, he can stop thousands of troops!

The martial arts of several people are not low, and the figure moves very fast. People without martial arts will not be able to tell who is who, and there is a ghost in the field of vision.

However, Cui Yu can always see clearly that his little wolf dog is so different!

How many times he has seen that clothes, that mask, that aura, and he will never be wrong!

The feathered arrow was shot by the man in black, and he was the first to run to the wall. After Yang Xuan carried Cui Yu away from the source of danger, he quickly followed. Stopped the footsteps of the man in black.

The man in black couldn't leave, and Yang Xuan pressed too hard, attacking his hand, he couldn't even take the time to put the cloth bag away.

But at this time, another gray-clothed assassin joined in, and he also came for the cloth bag!

Although everyone was on guard, but the cloth bag was in the hands of the man in black, the man in gray and Yang Xuan tacitly attacked him for a week.It is enough for the man in black to deal with Yang Xuan alone, how can he deal with two at the same time?

The cloth bag was quickly thrown into the air along with its force.The wind is buzzing in the air, the cloth bag has long lost its strength after being tossed like this, and the bag is not tight, and the thin cloth is quickly swept away by the wind...

The three of them exerted their strength from their feet, using the strongest lightness kung fu, and competed in the air.

Yang Xuan was faster than the two of them. Seeing that he was about to catch something, a white-clothed assassin suddenly thrust in. In order to avoid the hidden arrow, Yang Xuan just turned sideways and missed the thing.

When the wind passed his ears, he took a closer look and found that it was a book!

What book is so important, Lin Zhiyan regards it as a life-saving straw, and vows to help Rong Yanbin's mother and son get back on their feet, and can also attract help to rehabilitate her uncle and revive the Lin family's style?It's not even a big deal, so many people scramble for it as soon as it appears?

Where did the news about these people come from?

Yang Xuan instinctively felt that this matter was very important, even though she didn't know what kind of book it was, she still wanted to grab it!

The four confronted each other, and the battle situation became more complicated and confusing.

However, everyone's martial arts are not bad, they are wary of each other, there is absolutely no possibility of cooperation, if you rob me, I will rob, and I am afraid that it will take a while to decide the outcome.

However, this is the Wang family's autumn banquet, and the courtyard is a little bit out of the way of a serious place to entertain guests, but it is still possible to be discovered.The four of them moved the battlefield tacitly and went to a more remote place to fight.

As for the book... Once anyone gets it, it will attract a simulcast attack from the other three, and they will be forced to throw the book out if they can't even save a few breaths.Most of the time, the book is flying in the air, and when someone gets it, it stops for a while, and then continues to fly.

I don't know how long the beating lasted. Sweat was seen on several people's heads, and they were accidentally stained with a few wounds. Blood was flowing, but there was still no result.

Yang Xuan's secret guards lying on the wall and treetops couldn't help slamming their tongues. It was thanks to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, if it was him, his life would have been long gone.They all clenched their fists and stared at the scene vigilantly, wanting to gather together, but the master didn't give an order, so none of them dared to move. They only kept a 12-point mentality and watched the scene vigilantly, ensuring that the master would jump out in time to protect him if he was in danger. ...

Yang Xuan has grown up so much, what he lacks most is patience.He was never afraid of fighting, and he never worried about what other people would do objectively. He dealt with it seriously and seized every opportunity to create an advantage for himself. If there is no opportunity, create an opportunity!

The man in black narrowly avoided the attack of the man in white, and Yang Xuan happened to be the closest to the book when he had a chance to maneuver.This time, he didn't reach out to grab it like the previous few times, but shook the man in gray a few times, jumped up, passed the book, and didn't take it, acting as if he didn't have time to take it because the man in gray was too hasty to fight back. look.

In fact, he has his eyes on it.

The book was blown by the wind and rattled. After so long, of course it cannot be closed. As long as you look carefully, you can always see something written in it... even if it is not complete, a little guess is good!

Yang Xuan only took one look, and narrowed her long and narrow eyes.If you are not familiar with it, you may not be able to understand the meaning of some words that you saw clearly in a hurry, but Yang Xuan...understand!Because he has seen it before!

It's just that the booklet seems a bit thin.

When the man in gray came over to cover it, he took a closer look and found that the front and back covers of the book were only the same color, but the paper quality was different... This book might have been torn from it!

Knowing what it was, Yang Xuan felt less concerned about grabbing it, and began to quietly observe other people.

If he didn't observe carefully, he didn't find it. After a closer look, he found many details.

The man in black has a very eager attitude. He really wants this book, even if it means risking his life.As for the man in gray, he didn't want any of the three of them to get the book, and whoever got the book would have the most hostile attack power against him.The man in white was even more strange. He didn't really want to get the book, and he didn't really want to stop the man in gray. Instead... he was helping rather than blocking him and the man in black.

Of course, these are very subtle and very unnoticeable.Especially the actions of the man in white seemed to prevent the man in gray from knowing this, and he didn't hold back when confronting the man in gray.

But Yang Xuan felt that her feeling was right.

The man in black was already exhausted, and when he was unwilling to reach out to fetch the book again, the man in gray seized the opportunity and stabbed his left shoulder with a sword, seriously injuring him.With such a serious injury, he is no longer qualified to compete. The man in black cast a gloomy look at his opponents, and was unwilling to release a poisonous concealed weapon before pulling away and leaving.

The three in the air are all masters, and this hidden weapon is obviously invulnerable, so they all avoided it with ease.

When the man in black arrived, there were only Yang Xuan, the man in gray and the man in white.

There is obviously something wrong between these two people, but the man in gray may not know it.

Now that Yang Xuan knew what was in the book, she was no longer in a hurry, and pretended to be very upset when she was beaten by the man in white. Just slip away.

The man in white 'solved' Yang Xuan, and then rushed over, eager to do so.

Yang Xuan fell to the ground, pursed her lips slightly and blew a very thin whistle, ordering the hidden guards to follow.Just follow, do not do any other superfluous things.

The hidden guards responded and quietly jumped out to sneak...

Yang Xuan frowned and pondered for a moment before leaving.

Although this place is very remote and there are no people around, but the terrain is not high, it is inevitable that things happen by chance, and this scene of fighting still fell into the eyes of some people.For example, in the three-story attic not far away, a girl was very curious and asked the maid beside her, "Who is that warrior wearing a mask?"

The servant girl lowered her head and blessed herself: "My maidservant doesn't know, but my maidservant can ask about it."

This girl has bright lips and bright teeth, apricot eyes and peach cheeks, and a proud arrogance in her brows and eyes. No matter her manners or clothes, she is full of aristocratic style.Hearing the servant girl's reply, she didn't complain, nor did she laugh, she just said: "I want to know the result before the banquet is over."

"Yes, county lord."

……

Yang Xuan went to look for Cui Yu at the same place, but Cui Yu was no longer there, only Lin Zhiyan was sleeping on the ground, and had acupuncture points.

He didn't care about Lin Zhiyan, and went to find Cui Yu himself.

……

Since the four of them grabbed the cloth bag and disappeared out of sight, Cui Yu stopped watching.He believes in Yang Xuan's strength, if he doesn't know martial arts to keep up with him, there may be bad things, so don't cause trouble at all.

No matter how far away the yard is, the autumn banquet is so lively, it doesn't necessarily mean that luck will not keep people coming.A woman fainted on the ground... Cui Yu didn't want to wait in the same place at all, how embarrassing it was to be seen!He also didn't want to wake up Lin Zhiyan, this woman is not a cheap lamp, so don't be entangled with her again.

Cui Yu left with Mutong, and after walking for a while, when he was looking for someone from Wang's family to ask for directions, he intentionally or unintentionally called Biluoyuan, if there were no accidents, someone would come to rescue Lin Zhiyan soon.

Cui Yu walked aimlessly, and walked to a lake.

This is an artificial lake dug by the Wang family themselves, and it is also because the Wang family has enough background to occupy such a large area of ​​land in Luoyang City as a house, and can also dig a large artificial lake.

The water in the artificial lake is clear and sparkling under the bright summer sun. Fish of five colors swim lazily at the bottom of the water. Under the lotus leaves, it is quite cool in summer.

When Cui Mata became interested, he took a walk around the artificial lake.

This walk, I don't know how long I walked, and I came to a wing room shaded by emerald green bamboos.It is probably just a place to enjoy the scenery and take a rest. There are not many wing rooms here, only two suites inside and outside and two smaller side rooms.

The windows of the main house are open, facing this lake view, it must be extremely beautiful if you can take a rest here.

As soon as Cui Yu thought about it, he heard voices coming from the room.

"...Prince...Your Highness...you need to be careful..."

Prince?Prince?

In this Da'an Dynasty, only Yang Xuan is the crown prince!Cui Yu's spirit immediately tensed up, and he approached quietly with light steps.

Mu Tong raised his vigilance and focused his attention on four things.

"Nowadays, no matter whether the court or the people, there is too much attention to the prince. The prince needs to solve this problem as soon as possible..."

Walking to the window, Cui Yu finally heard the voices inside.He quietly raised his head avoiding the light, and saw the person talking inside.

One person was sitting in the main seat, facing the window, with a slightly square face, thick eyebrows, and slightly thick lips. He was not very good-looking, but he was not ugly either.From his purple gold crown, the prince's uniform with the four-clawed dragon embroidered on his chest, and the address of the person opposite him, the identity of this person is ready to be revealed.

Yue Wang!

In the previous life and present life, Cui Yu met the King of Yue for the first time, and I have to say, I felt a little disappointed.Yang Xuan is so handsome and capable, the King of Yue has worked with him for half his life, and he can still overwhelm him. He thought that the King of Yue was so good-looking and strong, but he didn't expect it to be nothing more than that.

Naturally, she couldn't compare to Yang Xuan's in appearance, but her imposing manner...was a bit worse than Yang Xuan's.

As for the person sitting opposite the King of Yue, because his back was facing the window, Cui Yu couldn't see his face, but from his sitting posture, speech, and figure, it could be seen that this person was probably a counselor and a literati of the King of Yue.

Being able to go to the autumn banquet of the Wang family, the person who spoke was not lowly, but he had to avoid this secret place to talk to the king of Yue, which shows that their relationship... is still hidden in the dark, and no one else knows.

After listening to the counselor's words, the king of Yue sighed: "How can this king not know? But in the current situation, if this king wants to mention him with his father, wouldn't it be for him?" After sighing very distressed, he looked at him expectantly. The counselor, as if the counselor was his closest and most trusted person, "Why don't you think of an idea for this king?"

"If the lord has someone under his command, why not—" The counselor put his hands across his neck, making a silent gesture.

The King of Yue drank his tea with downcast eyes: "If this is the only idea you can think of, you don't have to mention this matter in the future."

The counselor was silent: "The prince is kind, but you are kind, others may not remember your kindness."

King Yue lowered his eyes and did not speak.

This time, Mou Tu stayed silent for a long time: "My lord thinks of his brotherly love, and he doesn't want to be involved in this kind of killing, so I can only invite that—" He pointed to the top of his head, "It's time to do it."

……

Cui Yu was listening to the corner calmly, when suddenly his sleeve was pulled.

It was Mu Tong who pulled him, with a serious expression on his face.Mutong understood the atmosphere very well, and it wouldn't happen suddenly, so it must be—"What's wrong?" Cui Yu narrowed his eyes.

Mu Tong clung to Cui Yu's ear, and lowered his voice extremely low: "There is someone over there, and he is a master."

"Ok?"

"It should be the guard of the king of Yue. We can come here smoothly. It should be that the guard is not there just now, but once he approaches, he will definitely find us...Master, it's time to retreat."

Cui Yu didn't want to quit, the King of Yue had a secret talk with people, as if there was something important to discuss, he happened to have the opportunity, how could he not listen?

But if you are in danger, it will be bad.

He closed his eyes and carefully recalled the terrain here.He came around the lake, and the wing room is also close to the lake. The King of Yue wants to have a secret conversation with someone, and he must go around to clear the scene. The guards are responsible for each person, and they will not come forward to listen. Even if they approach, they should be behind. It is impossible to hide in the lake. , so he should be very lucky to only meet one guard in charge of this area.

Everything can't be by chance, Cui Mata used the ability by the way.

The result...is a near-miss feeling.

The supernatural feeling has helped him many times, I believe this time... will be no exception!

He quickly made a decision and asked Mu Tong, "How far is he from us?"

"It's still a place that won't arouse too much suspicion."

"Very good." Cui Yan narrowed his eyes and looked Mu Tong up and down, "I remember you and I were willing to talk about it earlier, you said that you can't beat Yang Xuan in martial arts, and no one else is your opponent?"

Mu Tong is very confident in this point: "If I go up to those assassins just now, they can also stand against each other."

"You still said there's nothing you can't do, you dare not?"

Mu Tong smiled, the corners of his eyes raised a little badly: "As long as the master orders."

"Okay, I'll let you touch porcelain!"

Cui Yan's eyes were curved, with a sly smile flashing in the bottom of his eyes, and he whispered a few words to Mutong.

After hearing this, Mu Tong's smile became even worse: "Why is this so difficult, master just wait!"

After speaking, he pointed his toes, his figure was like a gray harrier, he flipped into the air lightly, and quickly disappeared.

Mu Tong looked for the presence of the person coming, and quietly landed at the fork in the road that the person must pass through, waited quietly for a while, then adjusted his pace and walked forward, and soon bumped into the person's face.

The guards were very cautious, and looked at Mu Tong warily. Mu Tong had the air of a gangster, and when he saw others looking at him, he stared back ferociously.

This behavior doesn't look like someone who came to spy on King Yue, it's too stupid, the guard didn't think much, and continued to move forward.

Unexpectedly, when the two of them rubbed shoulders, they didn't know who made the wrong step, but bumped into each other.

"Hey—beware of me, stare at me, and hit me!" Mu Tong smiled sinisterly, "You want to fight with me, don't you? Come on, me, let me do it for you!" He immediately rolled up his sleeves, "Mr. Never lost a fight!"

The guard frowned and wanted to hide, not wanting to cause trouble: "Brother misunderstood, I didn't mean that."

"Brother, you bastard! The master doesn't know. He's a bitch, doesn't he look down on me?" Mu Tong flipped his eyes at the guards, spit in his hands, and rubbed his hands together, "It's just right." Itchy, let's teach the rules well today!"

When encountering such an irritable fool, the guards had nothing to do, so they wanted to beat him down quickly and deal with it.There is nothing wrong with his consideration.Can the guard of the king of Yue be chosen by ordinary skills?Can be selected, must have some skills, within a certain range, can be regarded as superior to the crowd.Moreover, Mu Tong's ferocious and gangster spirit was too frivolous, and he felt that it was not a big deal at first glance.

I don't want to fight this fight, it's amazing!

Not only did the guards fail to deal with Mutong quickly, they were suppressed instead!

Mu Tong did it very cleverly. He probed the bottom of the guard and knew where the limit of his ability was, so he pressed and played with him. When the guard was struggling, he put some water, so that the guard felt that he would be able to deal with him in one breath. However, every time it happened to be a special coincidence, either the guard stepped on a stone, or he stepped on a stone, and the result was... the guard couldn't catch him, and he couldn't beat the guard.

Mu Tong is also very cheap, and after a while, he swears: "I almost got caught! Fuck you mother! If you are so shameless, I will steal peaches! Oh, this is a good move, look at mine!"

His tricks are very entangled, the guards can't go away, and there is a faint feeling that he can always catch it in the next moment. The guards are still very confident. After a while, he forgets the time, and he doesn't call his companions to come to the rescue...

On Cui Mata's side, he continued to listen to the corner smoothly.

"...Father must have a reason to govern people." King Yue sighed again, "If you want to have a reason, you have to go to Luoyang. No matter how you think about it, it will be a loss. It's not urgent to mention this right now, you ask Ben Wang Lai, what do you want to say? This king guesses, it must not be this."

Cui Mata couldn't help but regret in his heart, he took the risk to stay, and you guys exposed the big news!If he didn't plan to deal with Yang Xuan, how could he follow his plan!

That's not what the counselor wanted to say.

He folded his hands on his knees: "This matter is just a small annoyance. As the prince said, there is no need to rush. The man just has some reputation, so that the government and the people will never forget that there is a prince in our Da'an Dynasty. It is of no practical use. The news here is accurate enough for the lord, so there will be no big trouble for that one. When the lord recruits more and more capable people, there will naturally be someone who is willing to share the Lord's worries."

King Yue didn't say a word, he took the lid of the teacup and scratched the tea leaves, as if his patience had run out.

After being silent for a long time, the counselor Fang said again: "I don't know my lord...have you heard of Longwei?"

"Longwei?" King Yue shrank his pupils.

Cui Yu was also taken aback, Long Wei?

"It seems that the prince has heard of it." The counselor's voice was still calm, with a smile inside, "My Middle-earth has gone through hundreds of years of wars, and the country has changed hands several times. However, there is such a special inheritance team. No, omnipotent, follow the ancient rituals to recognize the master, once you recognize the master, you will be loyal... It can be said that whoever owns them can get this splendid world."

King Yue was breathing heavily.

"However, Longwei has been passed down for generations and has its own temper. It only serves the king, but not every king can get their approval. For example, neither your father nor your grandfather has been recognized by Longwei. , Longwei then hid in the world of mortals and disappeared..."

The King of Yue stared at the counselor closely, his eyes flashed with anger: "How do you know this!" He is Emperor Taikang's favorite son, the word Longwei, and he has only heard of it in recent years. The amount of information is seriously insufficient, and what he knows is not as good as before There are so many people!

Cui Mata also tightened his breathing.Longwei... so there is such a team!

"My lord, don't worry, just listen to me..."

However, before the words were settled, King Yue suddenly raised his hand: "Who!" He also walked towards the window immediately.

Oops, found out!

It's a pity that Cui Yu couldn't hear the end, but the matter has come to this point, and he must run away!

He immediately ducked down, tiptoed carefully and quickly around the window, and ran towards the direction he came from——

No matter how confidential the king's secret talks were, if he didn't want to be overheard, even if he drove out the guards, there would still be a few waiters around him.King Yue became suspicious, as long as he gave an order, a group of eunuchs would run out of the ear room and chase after him.

Everyone has no martial arts, but there are so many opponents, and Cui Yu himself has no advantage at all.

And he still didn't dare to walk on the right way just now, because Mu Tong was probably fighting with the other guard, he couldn't do anything bad, so he had to run by the water.

The more I ran, the faster my heart beat, and the eunuch's shrill shout seemed to be behind me!

It's over, it's over, is it true that the ability doesn't work anymore, and he's going to get stuck here?

"there!"

"stop!"

Cui Yu didn't dare to stop, and ran with all his strength, the wind in his ears was getting faster and faster, and the other party's voice was getting closer...

Until his hand was grabbed!
