Crown Sword

One day later, Shuangli was ecstatic to get back the news, and on the way to the inn, she kept wondering if it was really the huge "message organization" that Cui Tanfeng comforted on the way out of Yunzhong. It was only because of the war that they were tied up. Now that the war in Yan Dynasty is coming to an end, so it has resumed operation?

People who are lucky are afraid of trouble, and even more afraid of loss.

Shuang Li couldn't help but feel relieved, and just put his hands together and prayed: "Be good, if something goes wrong, wouldn't it just cut off the source of money, and everyone just sit around and share the money like in the past, wouldn't it be good to make money with harmony?"It seems that it is not impossible to be a "puppet" without hurting relatives and friends.

Then, all four of them memorized the map by heart, and Gongyangyue kept it close to him, and then relied on the instructions given and the inquiry and confirmation from Xiaoer, the innkeeper, and finally found a translator who used to translate Chinese merchants in the commercial market in the south of the city. Brokers, put it locally, there is another saying called "horse-leader".

But they had no horses to lead, so the man who led the horses kept his sleeves on his shoulders and walked quietly in front of the side. According to the rules, he took the rams for a few months and walked the familiar roads in the city first. , not a money bastard; secondly, businessmen from all walks of life like to listen to some local customs and visit some historical sites, so that they can show off to their fellow villagers when they go back.

Gong Yangyue didn't stop her, and just wanted to use this to cover up her identity, not to mention that there was too little that could be seen from a blueprint.

However, this Wandu mountain city is surrounded by mountains as a screen, and the square gate is the exit of the mountain road and the valley. There are many ups and downs. I can't move my feet and cry tired.

They rested for a while, Shuang Li took the opportunity to steal, Cui Tanfeng left one unclean, and the other was useless to eat, Gong Yangyue chatted with the horseman, Chao Chen listened with great interest, thinking about how people In this way, if you don't want to ask him to look at the map, he called out "Ram Moon".

But immediately after thinking about it, he dismissed that thought and mingled in the market, with only Li Yuan on the left and right, no matter how well he knew the outer city, he would be speechless about the palaces in the inner city, if he looked at the detailed map Go, I'm afraid it will make people suspicious.

Gongyang Yue looked over and saw that he couldn't make a word, he just felt baffled.

Just at this time, Shuang Li came with two paper bags and gave one to the two of them. Gong Yangyue gave the horseman a wink and continued on his way.Shuang Carp had had enough of his mouth craving, this time his hands were strong and his feet didn't stop, happily rushing to the front to open the way.

A bell rang on the road to clear the way, and a group of guards dressed in official costumes came running not far away. They cleared the place along the street and stood awe-inspiring on the left and right. There was no way around, so Chao Chen took Shuang Li and retreated to the eaves.

The man leading the horse came forward and said, "A hundred feet further on, the first place is the mansion. Do you guys want to go? It seems that the momentum is not good, it seems that martial law is about to be imposed!"

Gongyang Yue wondered: "Martial law?"

"Yes, something bad has happened in the city recently," the horse-leader bowed his head unconsciously. At first he thought that the scholar surnamed Chao was the master of the group, and the remaining three guards, maids, and doctors were just right for him. , but looking at it now, it is obviously not the case. He immediately became more humble, and politely mentioned, "There are big robbers in Wandu Mountain City. It is said that the house of Xisa and the high-ranking envoy were stolen one after another. It’s a disaster, no, here—”

The horse-leader cast a wink and glanced forward. He didn't want to say it at first. After all, the long-distance traveler has some money with him. Who is not afraid of unreasonable disasters? It's not that you can't get a penny if you scare away the nobleman. He is neither humble nor overbearing nor arrogant, so he has a good heart.

"Da Duilu is in charge of Tubo, but it's a civilian job. It's normal that the mansion is not strict, but the Xie Sa has a city of soldiers under him. The mansion is fortified, and the bandits are not small." The man wearing a straw hat who spoke An indigo bundle, brought the horseman and the ram to come after the moon, and answered the words casually.

Gongyangyue pressed the sword calmly.

Although the man was a little weird, he didn't have any murderous intent, and he couldn't even detect a trace of surging internal energy. Except for that sentence, he didn't make any changes until he walked past the two of them. He only raised his hand and lowered his bamboo hat, Squeezing to the side, accidentally stepped on a pair of shoes.

"Hey!" Shuangli shouted angrily.

The man in the bamboo hat didn't answer.

The common people who joined in the fun seemed to smell the dead breath on the man, and hurriedly avoided it. Shuang Li stared at the small mahogany sword hanging on his belt, and shivered incessantly.

"The thing that wards off evil seems to be a tomb guard." The horse-leader muttered.

It is said that there are 360 ​​lines, and each line is different. Those who hold knives are angry with blood, those who resell are angry with wealth, those who read books are angry with business, those who save lives and heal the wounded are angry with chivalry, and those who look at dead people are angry with life and death.To be so uncomfortable, to put it bluntly, it is not a lonely grave, but a mass grave.

Gong Yangyue understands these rules more or less, since people don't pick things up, let them blame them.At this time, there was a commotion in the crowd, and everyone on tiptoe rushed forward, vying to have a look, and he followed suit, only to see that the leader who led the way dispersed, and one of them was holding a sword in his hand, wearing a wind-folding crown on his head, and the crown was decorated with gold. Silver, with bird feathers on the top, wearing a brown narrow-sleeved official uniform, the belt is as white as the moon, and the boots are as yellow as gold, walking like a tiger.

Going closer, Gongyangyue saw the side face clearly, it was Qiao Min who came.

The crowd was swept away again, Gong Yangyue didn't pay attention, and stepped on the other shoe of Shuangli, the little girl immediately burst into anger like a bullfighting: "Today is not a good day, this bad luck is not good alone, it is possible that it will be a pair ?”

After all the officials entered the mansion, some people with good intentions rushed forward, squatting on the opposite side of the wall, waiting to see what to talk about, Gong Yangyue chased after her, not caring about her shoes at all, the double carp hooked the embroidered shoe loops , jumped and immediately called to stop the horseman, asking: "What's going on?"

Chao Chen said, "That man just now looks like Seventeen."

"Huh? Seventeen?"

"What's the matter, do you still know the lord of the Seven Sword Guards?" The horse-leader said to himself, "Looking at the Golden Crow's logo and attire, I'm afraid it's Captain Qiao from the Seven Sword Guards."

Shuang Li twisted his arm and pointed at the men and women around: "They are all talking about the Seven Sword Guards? What are you talking about? You can translate it for me!"

The man who led the horse was a little puzzled, but he acted according to the facts. They were all flattering words, those who praised his figure and demeanor, those who praised his martial arts skills, those who talked about his official career, those who talked about anecdotes, and there were many who praised his superior intelligence. Hearing "Huh" twice, he just felt puzzled: "It's really weird. I've never seen Shi Qi so lovable before."

"Let's go up and have a look, we'll see for ourselves." Chao Chen squeezed through the gap and led Cui Tanfeng and Shuang Li to the front of the mansion, and was stopped by the Seven Sword Guards along with the others, followed by the man who led the horse. Chasing after them, I don't know what they are going to do, afraid of getting caught, and seeing the wind is not right, they run away with oil on their feet.

The ram moon has already flown over the double eaves and landed in the courtyard.

"Seventeen?"

Hearing this, the accompanying attendants drew their swords one after another and surrounded Gongyangyue. Qiao Min looked sideways and hesitated: "Your Excellency is..." Xu could see that the man is not weak, so he raised his hand to signal everyone to disperse , looking carefully at Gongyangyue, "I am indeed ranked seventeenth in my next family, but I personally think that I have never met your Excellency. I don't know what you have learned from coming here?"

"you do not know me?"

"Look at this attire..." Gong Yangyue had changed into the local attire earlier, but now he was wearing red clothes with two swords, and even lost his logo, so Qiao Min shook his head, "Which master are you in the Jianghu?"

Shuang Li's jaws were about to dislocate when he heard it outside, staring, holding the halberd with one hand, and waving it desperately with the other: "You, why don't you know him? Seventeen, are you joking!" She pointed to herself, " Yes, that's right, it must be a joke, look at me, I, Shuang Li, you always know me!"

"Are they your friends?" Qiao Min looked at Gong Yangyue, and following his words, the servant who received the order let the three of them in.

Chao and Cui looked left and right, but also felt puzzled.

Shuang Li thought that he had saved face, and walked around him twice without giving up, and patted the back of his hand like before: "Oh, I know, you've got a face in official clothes, look down on me. Those of us who are poor and wandering around the rivers and lakes! Thanks to us, we traveled across mountains and rivers to give you a surprise!"

Qiao Min's tone was cold, but his face was still like a spring breeze: "Girl respects herself."

Intuition told Chao Chen that this was by no means the sullen, reticent, fierce and upright Seventeen in the past. He wanted to call Shuang Li back, but it was a step too late. That ghostly girl had already made up her mind and opened her eyes Arm, hugging the man in front of him, you must know that the eccentricity of "fear of women" is the best way to test the truth.

"Chief Guard!"

When Qiao Min was blocked, he never expected her to be so unrestrained, her body froze obviously, but that was all. She didn't go up to the roof, nor did she lose her composure and jump wildly. Li pushed aside: "Girl, please let go." He exerted a little force on his hand, and Shuang Li couldn't help but fell backwards.

The hairband embroidered with golden crow fell from his sleeve, and Gong Yangyue supported him with one hand, and drew his sword with the other. The cold light pierced Qiao Min's face, and the hairband was cut in two by the sword energy.

There is no better trial stone than swords and martial arts.

But Qiao Min didn't draw his sword, he just turned around to avoid it. At this moment, there were three applause sounds from the slope. A man in purple clothes, silver ornaments, and a green crown stood on the eaves, looking down, Yin-Yang said strangely: "Congratulations, Captain Qiao, I didn't expect to be successful and catch the robber so quickly."

"Who do you call a big thief!" Shuang Li stood firm, and when she heard his Chinese, her nose twisted in anger.

The man in purple covered his sleeves, pretending to be surprised: "It's not a big thief! Then why did you fight?" Then he raised his brows, and suddenly grew arrogant. Said, "I think it's you! There are tens of soldiers in Xisa, but they didn't even notice the shadow of the robber. They come and go easily, which shows that the strength should not be underestimated. The origin of this Wandu mountain city is unknown, and you are the only ones!" "

"It's not them." Qiao Min replied.

Shuang Li managed to squeeze out a smile, but it quickly faded away.

"Oh, didn't you just say you didn't know each other? Ouch, why did you suddenly chime in?" The purple-clothed man was very good at finding stitches, and would bite on any mistakes.

Qiao Min clasped his fists and said righteously: "Seven sword guards are loyal to the royal family, and their behavior and deeds represent the face of the royal family. How can they turn black and white, right and wrong? I see this knight's sword is awe-inspiring, unyielding, and I don't think so. It's a small matter." As he spoke, he touched the sword on his waist, indicating that he knew how to use a sword.

The man in purple was displeased: "Knowing people, knowing the face, but not the heart."

"I, the Seven Sword Guards, were ordered to investigate the case of the robber, so I don't need to bother the national teacher!" Qiao Min waved his sleeves to see off the guests on a business-like basis, and at the same time took a look at Gong Yangyue, and said sternly, "Please go ahead. "

"You don't let me do what I want," the purple-clothed national teacher held a knife and shouted outside the courtyard, "Come here, arrest them for me. The national teacher will interrogate me personally. I still don't believe it. I can't say anything without torture." Come!" Seeing Shuang Li reaching into the cloth bag, he shouted fiercely, "If you dare to resist, you will be punished on the spot!"

A few purple-clothed guards jumped in instantly outside the door, scattered the seven sword guards, and with lightning speed, first held down the three soft persimmons.The national teacher jumped down from the roof, walked up to Shuang Li, and said brazenly, "...Or, all of them will be deported."

"hateful!"

It is often said that Taoists don't fight with officials, but Shuang Li still couldn't hold back, and cursed in a low voice.

Then, without waiting for the little girl to react, the national master in purple swaggered towards Gong Yangyue, saying that sitting like a bell and walking like the wind, but he didn't. shrug.At this distance of less than five feet, he turned around after taking three steps, winking and winking, making Shuang Li grind his teeth.

Chao Chen's thoughts were crazy: This is too unsteady, is it really a country's national teacher?

No wonder Goguryeo has been the son of Yan Guo for so many years.Now he felt that Qiao Min was probably the most normal.

Gong Yangyue had already put away his sword, and was holding his hands to see what he was going to do, but the man in purple just stared closely, pointing his nose and jumping like a clown: "You want to fight with me here, okay, I can't kill you!" , I can still kill those three little bastards..."

It turns out that the eyes are on the head, and they always have to stumble.

Before he finished speaking, he tripped over a rotten flower pot on the ground that had been left untied to preserve clues. He didn't fall, but sprained his feet. The Seven Sword Guards all snickered, relieved, only Qiao Min slightly Frowning, moody.The national teacher couldn't hold back his face, crossed his hips and straightened his chest, and hurriedly answered the words of Cai: "...I am the national teacher personally appointed by Haotai Wang. I dare to challenge the majesty of the royal family. Believe it or not, I will send troops to beat you into a sieve."

Everyone stopped laughing, Qiao Min coughed lightly, and reminded him to be cautious, whether to send troops or not was decided by Gao's family, and it was not up to other national teachers to decide.

Chao Chen felt even more strange, if it was Shi Qi's stupid piece of wood, how could he be so smooth and know how to mention something cryptically?Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Gongyangyue, who suddenly put down his sword, and could barely say three words: "Let's go."

The national teacher opened his mouth like a duck egg, hurriedly slapped his chin, and took it back.

"Seventeen..." Shuangli prayed to Qiao Min with dim eyes, her small mouth shrunk, as if she was going to cry on the spot.But Qiao Min remained indifferent, turned his face away, clenched his fists, dug his nails into his flesh, quickly let go, ordered two people, and actually kindly wanted to send them a ride, "Rong Qiao said one more thing , not in his position, not seeking his own government, be careful before the national teacher, so that he can do it himself."

Shuang Li looked at the two guards with swords, feeling disheartened, and leaned towards Gong Yangyue.Sure enough, no one in this world could be trusted except Lao Yue, so Lao Yue nodded and left, so there was a reason to go.
