Xijing Chronicle

Chapter 8 Night Detective Secret Room (2)

The whole mansion was in an uproar when Grandpa Quan was assassinated.

Although the assassin failed to succeed, how could Quan Chengen not be angry when he was assassinated on his [-]th birthday, completely ignoring the many guests in the mansion who were afraid to leave and did not want to stay, and almost mobilized all the guards in the mansion, Chasing the assassin all the way to the east, he was about to catch him.

Just when the east of the whole mansion was in chaos, a black figure walked vigorously on the ridge of the house in the dark night, sneaked to the vicinity of the main courtyard after a while, looked at the guards guarding the gate of the courtyard, and after some calculations in his heart, , fell to the ground silently, with a knife in hand, two lives were lost.

On the other side, a guard noticed something was wrong, turned his head, and what he saw was a pair of quiet and cold black eyes, like the eyes of Shura who crawled out of hell, which shocked him so much that he didn't even utter a cry Then fell to the ground.Only then did the last guard realize what had happened, but the throat was/severed cleanly in the next second, and he could only make a hoo hoo sound like a leak. Gu Huaisheng covered his mouth with some annoyance. A knife was added to the neck.

"Did you hear... any sound?" The guards on patrol came late.

Gu Huaisheng unhurriedly hid in the shadow on one side, seeing that the group of guards turned another corner and could see the scene on this side, but suddenly there was a rustling sound on the other side, followed by a black shadow jumping Go to the roof and run to the other side.

The group of guards yelled, "Who is it? Stop!" and chased after him.

Gu Huaisheng didn't move. Hearing footsteps coming from the courtyard, someone opened the door after a while. After hesitating for a while, he followed the movement.After the figure of that person disappeared into the darkness, Gu Huaisheng turned over and jumped into the courtyard.

The people in the whole house were not so careless that no one was left behind. As soon as he fell to the ground, five people drew their swords and slashed at him.These five people's kung fu is extraordinary, they are incomparable to those servants and guards in the mansion. Although all of them are inferior to Gu Huaisheng in martial arts, if they really fight together, Gu Huaisheng may not be able to win.

Gu Huaisheng immediately took out a round black ball from his bosom, slammed it on the ground, and a faint white smoke filled the air in the blink of an eye. Although the five people covered their mouths and noses in time, they were contaminated with some , but after a few breaths, his eyes rolled over and he fell to the ground.

As expected of the ecstasy pill made by the genius doctor Gu, this group of people reacted quickly, and they didn't inhale much. It would never work if it was an ordinary drug, but at this moment they are lying on the ground like this, and the medicinal properties of this pill can be seen One spot.Even though he had a good relationship with the little genius doctor Yu Wuyan, he only got three of these things.Gu Huaisheng was a little distressed, but he didn't delay in his hands, and simply cut the throats of all five people one by one.

This group of people followed Quan Thief's men and worked as minions for tigers, so Gu Huaisheng would naturally not be relentless.

After killing all five people, Gu Huaisheng opened the door and entered the central room. This is where Quan Chengen lives. Quan Chengen likes luxury things. On the screen facing the gate, there was a unicorn and auspicious beast stabbed with gold thread on it, and it looked shiny in the moonlight shining in from outside the house. Gu Huaisheng just glanced at it, then frowned and looked away.

Without stopping, he went straight to the west wing, and went straight to the multi-treasure shelf. There was no book on the shelf, but it was full of gold, silver and jade objects. In the box, I found the pattern that Jin Xuenian had drawn for him.

Gu Huaisheng was overjoyed, and activated the mechanism according to what Jin Xuenian said that day. After a sound of metal collisions, the wall behind the multi-treasure shelf opened in response, revealing a narrow hole that could accommodate one person.

Gu Huaisheng got in without hesitation.

Water pavilion by the pool.

Quan Chengen was assassinated suddenly, so he was naturally furious, and immediately ordered all the nearby guards to chase after the assassin. The assassin was petite and skilled. The dazzling sword flower stabbed a few guards in the face, then nimbly broke out from the crowd, crossed the pool and headed south.

All the guards chased after him, leaving only a middle-aged swordsman with a scar on his face to protect Quan Chengen. As time passed, Quan Chengen gradually calmed down, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Tonight is his [-]th birthday, the mansion is full of people, it is by no means the best time for an assassination, but this assassin chooses to strike in front of the public, and after a miss, he turns around and walks away without hesitation. I really have to kill him, but for...

Could it be a trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain? !

Thinking of this, Quan Chengen's face changed drastically, and he couldn't care less about his own safety, so he eagerly told the middle-aged swordsman beside him: "Master Mo Ru! Go to my room and watch!"

"Yes!" Before the words finished, the middle-aged swordsman had disappeared.

Only then did Quan Chengen heave a sigh of relief, and with Quangui's support, he also rushed towards the main courtyard. In the secret room where the thing was hidden, there was an organ arranged by him for many years, and even three years ago, it was specially arranged for it. So I went to the Gongshu-like successor to get a vicious and ingenious trick as a final defense. The successor proudly told him at the time that as long as he hits this trick, even the king of heaven and I will not be able to escape... But even though So, for some reason, the uneasiness in his heart still lingers.

Let's talk about the side of the main courtyard, after a period of silence, there was a sudden sound of metal crashing somewhere underground, followed by a loud "boom", the ground cracked, and half of the room was thrown open, a black figure Embarrassed, he got out of it.

The sound was so loud that people in a radius of several miles heard the movement. Qu Yan, who was guarding the main courtyard before, suddenly stopped her pursuit, turned around, and saw the earth, rocks and dust flying all over the sky over the main courtyard, her mind was broken. Immediately rush back.

And in the main courtyard, Gu Huaisheng managed to gain a firm footing. He didn't know the direction, and he was going to use his skills to escape from here before he even had time to distinguish the direction. How did he know that just as he jumped up, a sword that was shining with cold light was wrapped around his back? The head fell head-on.This strike is definitely not something that ordinary martial arts practitioners can strike. If one hits it, one's life may be in danger!

His heart tightened, and the hairs all over his body stood on end. His body was already moving one step ahead of his brain. He twisted his waist and turned sideways in the air to avoid the sword. Unexpectedly, the owner of the sword seemed to have been there for a long time. Predictably, he calmly changed from chopping to swinging, and slashed flatly. This sword seemed to have no tricks, simple and unpretentious, but it blocked all of Gu Huaisheng's escape routes. If he was hit by this sword, his whole body would be chopped into two pieces!

At the time of life and death, Gu Huaisheng suddenly burst out with a powerful potential. Because of the sideways roll just now, his body has not stopped, but he has already folded his waist back, and his waist bends in an incredible arc extremely flexibly, avoiding the general. This sword.

Master Mo Ru didn't expect that the masked man could dodge his two swords in a row. A look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't catch up with the next sword. He didn't dare to use the Xiaoyao Pill anymore, he could only concentrate most of the remaining internal energy on the Tang Dao in his hand, and stab Mo Rushi fiercely, Mo Rushi recovered, and didn't dare to take his blow , then turned sideways to avoid it, Gu Huaisheng took the opportunity to pull himself up, lightly landed on the treetop behind him, and then turned around and fled without hesitation.

Qu Yan came a step late, landed on the ground, looked at the mess everywhere, grabbed Mo Rushi with red eyes and asked, "Where is the person?"

The main courtyard was originally guarded by Qu Yan, but he left his post without authorization.Master Mo Ru gave Qu Yan a cold look, knowing that this is not the time to question him, he simply said: "Run to the north."

Qu Yan knew that he had made a big mistake, and at this moment, he only thought of being able to take the blame and make meritorious service, and was anxious in his heart, not daring to waste any time: "Chasing!"

Master Mo also jumped up to the roof, stretched out his hand to wipe off the little blood left on the treetops beside him, and then followed closely.

Gu Huaisheng worked very hard to squeeze out the internal energy in his body, and he kept moving, moving through the darkness like a ghost.When he was in the underground secret room, he accidentally triggered the mechanism of the two puppets. He spent a lot of internal energy when fighting with them, and then triggered more mechanisms. Fei Lei Wan blasted the ground, and then escaped.

Master Mo Ru is the most powerful guard under Quan Chengen's subordinates. He is skilled in swordsmanship, and no one in the world can surpass him. Just now, in order to escape from Master Mo Ru, he used up almost all his internal energy with that knife. Now there is only a little internal energy left. , all spent on lightness skills, and now I feel insufficient.

Gu Huaisheng didn't have the slightest thought of saving, his eyes under the moonlight were stern and deep, and there was no sign of anxiety in danger at all.He ran all the way to a pavilion, and suddenly dodged and hid in the shadow beside him, and almost at the same time as he moved, a black figure similar to his figure jumped out from his hiding place. Without hesitation, he cut his own arm, and followed the direction of Gu Huaisheng's escape with blood stains.

Gu Huaisheng held his breath and hid in the dark, waiting for Mo Rushi and Qu Yan to chase after him, then turned around and ran in the opposite direction.

He ran all the way back to his yard, Xue Zinu had already come back, the lights in the room were bright, but the door was wide open, no human voice could be heard, obviously no one was in the yard.Gu Huaisheng heaved a sigh of relief, and as soon as he let go of this breath, he couldn't lift it up anymore. He staggered and landed outside his door, his legs gave way, and he almost fell to the ground, but he managed to hold the doorframe just in time.

After entering the house, Gu Huaisheng did not dare to light the lamp. He quickly took off his night clothes, rolled them into a ball and stuffed them into a dark space dug in advance, then took out the golden sore medicine powder and sprinkled it on his body roughly. He was torn apart in the explosion just now, and there were almost no intact parts, but he didn't seem to notice it. He waited for the bleeding from those wounds to stop, and immediately took out a set of clothes that were exactly the same as the one he wore tonight and changed into them.

Afterwards, he took out a one-inch-square wooden box from the dark compartment, and opened it carefully, only to see that there was a shallow layer of liquid inside, shining brightly under the moon, with a faint medicinal fragrance.There was still a thin layer soaked in the liquid.

He first dipped a little liquid with a brush, and carefully brushed it on the edge of his cheeks. After a while, the skin over there wrinkled, which looked very scary. Peel off a layer of skin.

The moonlight shines through the thin paper on the window on a face he never showed.

What kind of face is that? The facial features seem to be carefully carved by the most outstanding craftsmen. There were a lot of scars on it, but it didn't look abrupt, and the stern eyes and the straight corners of the lips made it a bit more stern.

But very quickly, Gu Huaisheng took out another piece of skin soaked in the liquid, and regardless of the bleeding scar, he skillfully pasted it on his face. He knew what to do with this face without a mirror. alley.After it was over, it was that handsome and ordinary family member again.

Waiting for the house to be tidied up, he lit the candle, opened the door and walked out.Coincidentally, Xue Zinu's anxious footsteps were heard outside the courtyard. He adjusted his expression and walked towards the footsteps.

"Big Brother Gu!"

Xue Zinu saw Gu Huaisheng as soon as he entered the yard, and immediately ran over, "Brother Gu, where have you been! You don't know how chaotic it is tonight, I thought something happened to you!" While talking, Xue Zinu was anxious Pulling him tightly to look up and down, he was relieved to see that he seemed to be fine.

"I'm looking for you too," Gu Huaisheng also had worry in his eyes, but he didn't show it like Xue Zinu. He patted Xue Zinu's hand reassuringly, "Seeing that I couldn't find you, I thought you would always come back, so Waiting for you in the yard."

While he was talking, Gu Huaisheng's eyes fell to the west involuntarily, where it was as quiet as before, and the whole mansion, which seemed to have turned upside down, was like two worlds.

I don't know... how the plan over there is going...

In the single courtyard in the west that Gu Huaisheng was thinking about, at this moment, a man in black was carrying Jin Xuenian who had been knocked unconscious on his back, and ran out of the whole house quietly over the wall, while another man in black dripped two drops at the entrance of the courtyard. The blood followed closely.

The biggest commotion in Xijing in recent days was the assassination of Quan Cheng'en's birthday banquet.

Since Quan Chengen was favored, he has become more and more lawless. In recent years, he has eliminated all voices against him by means of means. Now it can be said that he has nothing to say in the court.The emperor was too stupid. Not only did he not suppress his arrogance, but he also handed over one hundred thousand forbidden soldiers to him. In Xijing, there may be some people who are not afraid of the emperor, but there is absolutely no one who is not afraid of Quan Chengen.

Quan Chengen knew how many people were staring at him, and the guards around him were all very skilled, especially Mo Rushi, the world's number one swordsman, had joined his sect and stayed with him day and night, even if someone wanted to kill him, he would have nowhere to do it.But now, someone actually tried to assassinate Quan Chengen. Even if he did, he escaped unscathed. Besides the men in black, even Jin Xuenian was gone. Naturally, he wouldn't think that those men in black had done something to Jin Xuenian. He was afraid that Jin Xuenian contacted people outside to conspire with him at some point.

This made Quan Cheng'en so angry that he sealed off the entire Xijing city that day, and he could only go in and out. He sent the imperial army to search from house to house, vowing to find out the assassins and take them down.

The whole city was under martial law, and the people who had nothing to do with themselves were curious about this mysterious assassin, and at the same time felt very happy. They talked about it after dinner and tea.

"I heard that all the martial arts masters are in the whole house. I don't know what the origin of this assassin is. He was able to escape from the hands of the world's number one swordsman. Could it be that he is an unborn expert who came to the world to punish rape and eliminate evil?"

Two people dressed as scholars sat in the tavern, obviously drunk, and their words became bolder.

"Keep your voice down, if you want me to say, hiccup, maybe it was the one in the palace..." The other person shook the wine jar in his hand, poured the last drop of wine down his throat, and said mysteriously, " That one is not as useless as he showed, he is smart, otherwise you see why there are so many princes, just his last one, you see who fought against him for the throne back then, who else is alive..."

"No, what you said is wrong..." The companion shook his head and retorted.

At this time, a group of children ran past the door of the tavern, singing as they ran: "The dragon on the west, the jiao on the west, jumping over the dragon gate, the horns of the jiao, there are double dragons in Xijing..."

The clear and innocent voice of the child came to the ears of the two scholars. They suddenly shuddered and woke up immediately. They looked at each other speechlessly.

Quan Cheng'en was in a bad mood, and it was the people in the whole house who suffered, all of them kept silent all day long, afraid to make a sound, for fear of causing trouble to themselves.

At noon that day, the housekeeper led people to drag out a bloody young man from the yard where Quan Chengen rested. Just like a blood man, his breathing has long since disappeared.Even though he has seen this kind of scene too much, the housekeeper's face is still a little ugly. He is not sympathetic to these teenagers, but the current Quan Chengen is irritable and sadistic. It's just sad.

At this time, the little leader of the Imperial Guard who was ordered to search the city came in again and reported through the door: "Middle officer, my subordinates have searched the outer city, and have not found the whereabouts of your slave."

"A bunch of trash!" Quan Cheng'en's voice was thinner than usual, mixed with turbid panting, which made people feel hairy, "Continue to search for me, I don't believe he can escape!"

Inside the room, Quan Cheng'en stabbed the candlestick from behind the young man kneeling in front of him with a ferocious expression. The young man's face was pale, with tears in his eyes, but he still gritted his teeth and swallowed the miserable cry, trying to make a happy sound.

Seeing his appearance, Quan Chengen frowned dissatisfiedly, and thought of Jin Xuenian again.When the old General Jin was still there, he always looked down on him, and repeatedly suggested that he would weaken the power in the hands of the eunuchs. I don't know how many times he ruined his good deeds. So deep, he couldn't shake it at all.

Unexpectedly, after getting the decree of the first emperor, even the new emperor would listen to him. This opportunity can be said to have made Quan Chengen rise to the top in one step, and the first thing he did when he came to power was to find ways to get rid of the Jin family.

Full of warmth and thoughts of lust/desire, when Quan Chengen held the monstrous power in his hands, his heart became more and more distorted because of what he lacked compared to ordinary men, and then he became obsessed with the pleasure obtained by torturing others, looking at those people His body was bruised and bruised, and he was forced to make a humiliating gesture, but he still tried to suppress a smile to please him, and a distorted pleasure rose in his heart uncontrollably.

It's just that these people's foundation is too poor, and few can play. Later, he found out that the Jin family had a young son who survived. In the south hall, he became interested and ordered someone to buy it.

It doesn't matter how old you are, the most important thing is that he is from the Jin family...

Jin family...

That general of the third generation, the loyal Jin family, if the grumpy General Jin knew that his son was reduced to being ridden by others, and then he would be played by himself, the eunuch, would he be so angry that he would get out of the coffin alive? jump out.

Oh, by the way, the Jin family didn't have coffins, and their dead bodies were thrown into the wild to feed the wolves.

Thinking of this, a pleasure rose from the bottom of my heart that was stronger than torturing others.

After getting Jin Xuenian, Jin Xuenian's performance did not disappoint him.Jin Xuenian is like a bamboo, tenacious and indomitable, but he would rather die than surrender. No matter how much he tortured him, how he abused him, he would never beg for mercy like other people. The pleasure of the proud son of heaven stepping on his feet.Quan Chengen knew that he wanted to die a long time ago, but he would not die. For his sister, he had endured it for so many years, so why would he care about these few short months.

Because of Jin Xuenian's ashen-hearted appearance, Quan Chengen never regarded him as a threat, but how did he know that it was such an existence that he didn't see in his eyes that he had the courage to unite with outsiders , broke into his room and stole the imperial decree!

Thinking of this, he used a little more force, the young man opened his mouth soundlessly, but spat out a mouthful of blood foam, and his whole body went limp.Quan Chengen frowned, and kicked him away in disgust.

It's really boring, no one can compare to Jin Xuenian.If you catch him back...

A sinister smile appeared on Quan Chengen's face.

The author has something to say:

Regarding the update, the first half of the year was actually not very busy, so I can still guarantee daily updates, but now that I am about to graduate, there are a lot of things to do. I have a language test in July that is as difficult as Level [-], plus I have to I am preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination (I failed to pass the exam last year because I failed abroad), so I really can’t guarantee the daily update. It is irresponsible to promise the daily update. Please forgive me, but I will try to find time to type more.

The other is the name of the article... The name of the article I started was complained more than once, and it was changed again and again. I really don't know what to call it. It will be changed in the future (it is useless), please ignore it...
