Hot as China, cold as snow

When the Change of the Twelve Seizures of the Palace is in progress

"Follow me to meet someone." Tie Mian didn't seem to hear anything, he only raised his eyes slightly to look at the night outside the window, then got up and walked out, and when he reached the door, he raised his index finger and made a follow-up Actions.Mr. Liu had three glasses of wine, and his reaction was a bit slow, he just let out a 'huh', and was taken aback for a while, when he got up to follow, Tie Mian had already left the door.

Under the clear moonlight, the shadows of the trees swayed slightly, Young Master Liu followed Tie Mian at a distance of five steps, no more, no less.At first, Tie Mian walked around in circles in a leisurely manner, and when he saw Young Master Liu calculating his steps, he followed closely. When he got interested, he would run fast and then slowly, but only a few sticks of incense After a while, the two left Wufang City one after the other.After leaving the city, the iron face's speed became even faster, and it reached the extreme, seeing shadows but not people, passing trees without startling birds, leaving wind and sound without leaving shadows, Mr. Liu chased hard but was not far behind, still only The distance of five steps is neither too much nor too little.

The abandoned ruined temple outside the city has no doors and windows, and in the dark night, two dark holes are exposed.The two landed at the entrance of the ruined temple almost at the same time.Iron Face didn't pause a step, and went directly into the dark ruined temple, and pressed the mechanism familiarly in the darkness. Mr. Liu moved his ears, and heard the sound of the mechanism opening clearly, lifted the curtain, and the desk was opened. There seemed to be an equally dark hole below the body.

Tie Mian is in charge of the Duoming Building. As a killer, seeing things in the dark is an indispensable training. In the current environment, it is easy to act. Mr. Liu has practiced martial arts since he was a child. Although his eyesight is not as good as Tie Mian's, he still has It is too much beyond ordinary people, and with the extraordinary hearing, the steps under the feet are exactly the place where the iron surface has been stepped on.The two walked silently for a long time, Mr. Liu calculated the distance and direction in his mind, and it was probably clear that he had returned to Wufang City.

The iron face reached out to touch the mechanism on the wall, Mr. Liu moved his ears, and heard the slight sound of the mechanism. At this time, the stone wall opened and closed, and soft yellow candlelight that was not dazzling was revealed from inside.Under the candlelight, I vaguely saw a person curled up on the wooden bed in the dark room. The person's face was buried tightly in front of his chest, his back was facing the two of them, and his shoulders shrugged.

The man thought he heard the voice and turned around to see Tie Mian's face beaming. He didn't notice the extra person, but quickly got out of bed and grabbed Tie Mian's arms: "You are here, my heart is very itchy, Give it to me quickly. If it's too late, I'll die."

Tie Mian turned cold, and stared at him, Leng Kangtai immediately withdrew his hand, but his eyes were full of longing and resentment, and in a blink of an eye he saw Young Master Liu standing next to Tie Mian watching the fun, and said in a strange way: "Yo, who is this? Isn’t this the gangster who fought on the mountainside during the day?” He stretched out his finger and said, “What’s his name? Let the prince think about it, oh, by the way, Mr. Lanling Liu! Are you a righteous man? You are also a traitor and a traitor."

Mr. Liu dodged in disgust: "A traitor! As far as I know, 20 years ago, Leng Ce, the prince of the Shunhui Empire, killed his brother and seized his wife, and even sent his nephew to the Chengtian Empire as a hostage in exchange for peace in order to save future troubles. .If you talk about the prince, it should be Leng Xuanyan!" He patted Tie Mian's shoulder, whether it was intentional or not, and said, "That's right, Tie Mian."

Tie Mian bypassed the two people, and found a place to sit down on his own: "Leng Kangtai, Leng Ce looks down on you. The courtiers have proposed to change you many times. You really want to be the emperor yourself. As long as you listen to me, I will help you make your wish come true."

Hearing this, Young Master Liu turned his head to look at Tie Mian, frowned but said nothing.Leng Kangtai's eyes flashed with anger and eagerness: "I'm already like this, I'm in your hands to take this, you still can't trust me. I listen to you, you can tell me to do anything, even kill my father. Just save my life. You and I are of one heart, you have to trust me." He paused to see that Tie Mian was expressionless and did not respond. Are you done?"

Tie Mian frowned, and pushed him away in disgust. Leng Kangtai was unprepared, and took a few steps back, finally sitting on the ground with his buttocks, with a very decadent and helpless expression.Tie Mian took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve, threw it to Leng Kangtai who was on the ground, and said, "This is the medicine for this month. Don't hold me back when I act." He then took out a piece of paper and threw it to him: "Midnight the day after tomorrow , Control the ministers on the list."

Tie Mian turned around and pressed the switch to go back into the secret passage. Mr. Liu only glanced at Leng Kangtai who was sitting on the ground, shook his head and followed Tie Mian.The iron face only walked a short distance in the secret passage, touched the protrusion on the wall, and opened another secret door.Inside the secret door is a brand-new and distinctive tunnel, with bright lights and a lighting torch in five steps, it is obviously a new tunnel that has been connected for less than a year.After walking not far, I turned on the mechanism, and the other end of the road was connected to a room with iron walls.

Mr. Liu, who was silent all the way, looked around the whole room, and said: "Duominglou has made a lot of money and contacts over the years, and even Leng Ce's son has stood by Leng Xuanren. I said that overthrowing Leng Ce is only a matter of time. You don't really want that kid Leng Kangtai to be the emperor?"

Tie Mian stretched out a finger and shook it: "He is not a material to be an emperor. But he will become an emperor."

Young Master Liu of Lanling took a step forward to stare at Tie Mian, his eyes were sharp and straight into Tie Mian's eyes: "Then Leng Xuanren? What should he do? He is the orthodox prince."

Tie Mian narrowed his eyes, and his eyes flickered again and again: "Is it important? You care about him? Who is he to you?"

Mr. Liu opened his eyes, smiled and spread his hands, "I don't know, it has nothing to do with me, it's just that I've been helping for such a long time, if I don't know the result, I can't justify it!"

Tie Mian narrowed his eyes and stared carefully at Young Master Liu for a while, then said in a somewhat sinister way: "You will know the result."

The tree shadows swayed, the moon was dim, three or two crows croaked in the forest, and then a group of crows flew away.Young Master Liu of Lanling couldn't keep his sleepy eyes open, and he slapped Hati and complained: "I haven't slept well since I acted with you. I'm going to be sleepy, and I act in the middle of the night every time."

"Don't you know that most of our killers operate in the middle of the night?" Tie Mian said half-truthfully with slanted eyes and curled lips.

"You put most of the people here, what should we do? Could it be that they are also here?" Mr. Liu said while tugging at the grass in his hand boredly.

Tie Mian smiled in a low voice: "Speaking of this man, I really thank you, Mr. Lanling Liu. I wanted to try it that day and use you to bluff, but I didn't expect that the name alone would attract many people." You young man of justice has really helped me a lot. It seems that you have gained a great reputation in the past few years since your debut."

Mr. Liu sighed: "People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. Dealing with them is very tiring, and I don't know where to hide just by hiding."

"I said why you keep running to me these days." Tie Mian pursed his lips and sneered, "Follow me."

Mr. Liu glared at Tie Mian reproachfully, but he didn't know how handsome he was: "You guys are really rich and bold, and you actually built such a wide tunnel under the eyes of the Emperor of the Imperial City. Only after reading this did you know that you went to Lengkangtai that day. The tunnel from here is nothing more than pediatrics."

"No, these tunnels have existed since the founding of the Shunhui Empire. I just used them and slightly modified them." The tone was a little lonely, leading the way with a firm face, very skillful.Mr. Liu looked at the back of his **** from behind him, his throat was a little choked, he stretched out his hand, stopped in mid-air for a long time, but fell down again, and smiled self-deprecatingly.

Mr. Lanling Liu turned his ears sideways and heard the sound of someone running not far away: "Why are there other people in this secret passage?" Tie Mian had always known that Mr. Lanling Liu's hearing was many times better than his. People who are all practicing martial arts are very different.Hearing this, he focused his attention and turned his ears, but he didn't hear anything. He glanced at Mr. Liu again and saw that it was not a lie, so he bent down on the ground and listened with his ears on the ground. Sure enough, the footsteps were very disorderly. Very hasty, hurried and heavy.

"Looks like a person running away in a panic." Mr. Liu tilted his ear and said, "It's not time to attack yet. If the original plan goes well, it might not cost a single soldier. How could there be someone who ran away? , Could it be that the news leaked?"

Tie Mian stood up and said, "No, there is only one person's footsteps. I want to see who this is?" The two walked side by side, the footsteps getting closer and closer until they stopped at a corner.

The people on the other side of the road also seemed to hear the sound, their footsteps slowed down, they only paused for a moment, and then ran again, crossed the corner unprepared, and directly bumped into Tie Mian, while Young Master Liu was watching the joke with his arms crossed.

Tie Mian stretched out his hand and lifted the collar of the man's neck, squinted his eyes and looked carefully, raised the corners of his lips, and snorted coldly: "Hey, isn't this honorable Prime Minister? Where are you going in the middle of the night!"

That man was fat and fat, and he was still being carried at the moment, his feet were off the ground, and he was a bit older, so he squinted his eyes with great effort, blinked and blinked, and before he opened his eyes, he pretended to call: "Bold and crazy!" If you know the identity of the old man, don't let me down soon, the old man will give you gold and give you power."

Tie Mian saw who it was, so he let go and threw him to the ground, and clapped his hands to dust off his clothes. The old minister who fell hard got up on the ground, and after seeing that there were only two people, he began to curse: " Bold maniac, do you know where this is? Watch out and I'll have you arrested. Whoops, my ass."

"Cao Jian, you really are able to follow the wind and turn the rudder, and you have no loyalty at all. Back then, 15 years ago, when Leng Ce seized the palace, you opened the palace door wide to welcome the rebellious ministers into the palace, and became the prime minister of a dynasty by speculation. It must have killed a lot of people in these years. Why, seeing the opportunity is not good, I want to run away again." The iron face and eyes were staring, revealing hatred, but he sarcastically said: "Why did the Shunhui Empire come out? For a scum like you."

Cao Jian saw the way this time, and knew that the two people in front of him were not good friends, so he took two steps back silently: "You two dare to break into this place, are you going to die? Today's young people How insane."

When Mr. Liu heard what Cao Jian had done, he felt resentful for a moment, and said angrily, "Two people are enough to kill that tyrant."

Cao Jian shook his fat body, squeezed his inverted triangular eyes, his face was full of creases, and his fleshy face was trembling, and he shouted loudly: "You are dying, believe it or not, I will be arrested." If you don’t want to be a good citizen in a peaceful and prosperous age, you will have to rebel against Leng Xuanren.”

Tie Mian laughed loudly after hearing this: "A peaceful and prosperous age, this is what you call a peaceful and prosperous age. I only see refugees everywhere, starving and dying everywhere, and officials and officials are protecting each other. You are still bluffing. Don't worry, it won't take a while. It’s all our people here.”

When Cao Jian heard the last sentence, he was a little scared, his legs were a little weak, and he hurriedly smiled: "Misunderstandings and misunderstandings are all for the sake of the common people." After speaking, he took two steps back, and turned around when he came to the intersection. run back.How could Mr. Tie Mian and Young Master Liu let him go, they immediately caught up, and Tie Mian kicked him to the ground.A foot on his back.

Cao Jian lay on the ground, breathing hard, and he could only see the ground, begging for mercy: "Hero, spare me, Leng Ce is a tyrant, he should have been overthrown a long time ago, but I am so old, I was forced by them, this king How can I manage the family affairs, how about you let me go out for the elderly, I thank you all my life, oh no, my ancestors have thanked you for generations. I will give you whatever money you want. Or I donate all the money to help the people Well, it’s also meaningless for a good guy to kill me who is powerless.”

Tie Mian's veins bulged, his teeth gnawed loudly, and the knife in his hand ended his life. He took out the knife, wiped it on Cao Jian's clothes, and finally spat, especially Solution to hatred.Mr. Liu didn't expect that the dignified generation of killers would lower their status to kill such a person. He couldn't stop him. He just watched the blood gushing all over the ground. Although he hated Cao Jian's actions, he closed his eyes in disgust and didn't even look at the ground. The dead body was pulled across the iron barrier without saying anything, as if the ground was just a pile of rubbish.
