The Legend of the Eagle Shepherd

Chapter 31 Assassin in the Palace

Qu Gu knew that Ouyang Ke had always been full of conspiracies and schemes, and seeing that he was fully prepared at the moment, he asked curiously: "What can you do?"

Ouyang Ke smiled triumphantly and said, "Do you know why they want to arrest me?"

"Isn't it because you killed the young prince of Jin?" Qu Gu always thought that Yang Kang had died in Ouyang Ke's hands, but Ouyang Ke shook his head.His iron fan was taken away by Kampot Ngawang long ago, and now he only has a paper fan in his hand, but he can barely use it. At this time, he swished it open, with a mocking smile on his face, gloating: "If you have read history books , we should know that if the country's subjugation in all dynasties is not necessarily because the external enemy is too strong, but because of the internal chaos first. Otherwise, the centipede will die but not stiff. Ning’s reforms disturbed the victories of the ministers, and that’s why Jingkang was ashamed. It’s just that the troubles didn’t come from the roots, so the Song Kingdom was still able to settle down in the south. Now, the Dajin Kingdom has troubles from the roots.”

"Three months ago, the right deputy marshal Hu Shahu rebelled, killed Wanyan Yongji with poison, and supported Wanyan Xun as emperor. Within a month, Hu Shahu was beheaded by the marshal right supervisor Gao Qi. Although Wanyan Xun Became emperor, but the throne did not come rightly. He was terribly suspicious of Wanyan Honglie, knowing that he had enlisted a group of masters. Even though Wanyan Honglie is not in the Kingdom of Jin now, it still makes him restless day and night, otherwise he would come and arrest me. What."

Only then did Qu Gu understand that there was civil strife in Jin Kingdom, which was really a good thing for Song Dynasty, so he said excitedly, "Are you trying to fish in troubled waters?"

Ouyang Ke touched her face with a smile, and Qu Gu immediately stretched out his hand to pat her away, but he took her hand happily, squeezed her soft palm, and said with a smile: "It's not like fishing in troubled waters, just going with the flow. I I already have a grudge against Wanyan Honglie, so it is all right to form an alliance with Wanyan Xun to help him. This Wanyan Xun must have this intention in mind, otherwise why would you keep me with good food and drink?"

Speaking of this, Ouyang Ke was also secretly annoyed. He used to live a comfortable and unrestrained life in the Western Regions. If he hadn't been greedy for power, how could he have become a pawn in the hands of others.For a moment, he thought that he was still too weak. If his martial arts were as perfect as his uncle's, even Wanyan Honglie would only dare to win him over.

Qu Gu lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, "Dake, are you going to help the Emperor of Jin to kill King Jin? Well, that's good, but you are not allowed to help Jin to murder Song." She said with a straight face. Very serious.

This is what Ouyang Ke did in the past. Hearing Qu Gu's attitude, he felt a little displeased, "Young Master is not from the Song Kingdom, what does the Great Song have to do with me!"

Qu Gu frowned, sat up abruptly, raised his head and questioned him: "You are neither from Song State nor Jin State. Is it difficult not to help Jin State to fight Song State? If you really do such a thing, I will I will break up with you!"

Ouyang Ke frowned, and said angrily, "What do you mean by cutting off favors? Why are you getting angry with me!" From the concept of no country and the world, White Camel Villa only dealt with countries in the Western Regions, and never attached itself to any country. He didn't understand what Qu Gu's stubbornness was for.

Qu Gu glared at him angrily, and was about to refute again, when suddenly there was a knock on the door.Both of them were startled, only to hear that the guards outside the door asked the young master of White Camel Mountain to meet the Emperor of Jin.Ouyang Ke knew that the opportunity for negotiation had come, and he didn't want to quarrel with Qu Gu any more, so he suppressed his anger and said, "You are so good to stay here. I will take you away in a while." After saying that, he got out of bed and straightened up Clothes, push the door and leave.

After Ouyang Ke left, Qu Gu always had some resentment in his heart.She thought that since she could break into the palace, it might not be difficult to leave.It would be risky for Dake to deal with the golden dog, so he might as well take him out to fight.Suddenly, a flash in her mind reminded her that she had made an appointment with Yin Zhiping and Zhao Zhijing to meet at the palace wall.It would be a heinous crime if the two of them waited for a long time and were discovered by Jin Bing.

She thought that these two Taoist priests were loyal people, and with their help, Dake might be able to be rescued.She thought to herself that this was a good idea, so she got out of bed, opened the door and went out.The guards outside the door saw her dressed as a court lady and did not stop her.Qu Gu walked to a place where no one was around, and then used his lightness kung fu to jump behind a rockery, and found the palace maid whose acupuncture points had been tapped by her.Put on the outer shirt for her, and then put on the white fox cloak again.

Although the maid could not move, her eyes could not help showing fear.When Qu Gu saw it, he felt very sorry, remembering that his father said that although the people of the Kingdom of Jin are hateful, ordinary people are also pitiful people.It's very pitiful for this palace maid to be a slave, and she didn't do any evil, but I let her suffer an innocent disaster.Seeing the autumn wind rustling again, he said softly: "Sister, I'm really sorry, but I can't untie the acupoints for you yet, let me find you a shelter from the wind."

She picked up the maid on her back and saw that there was a pavilion four or five feet away from the rockery behind the wall, so she leaped over there, and suddenly heard a rough voice from the pavilion saying: "Master Gongpo, please hurry up." Sit down. Master Jiuwen is the master of Tibetan Tantra, and this king has admired him for a long time!"

"King Rong is polite." The tone was neither humble nor overbearing, but the tone was a little strange.Qu Gu immediately recognized that it was the fan monk who fought against Dake in the inn that day, and remembering that Dake said that he was good at martial arts, he quickly placed the maid in the palace and wanted to sneak away.

However, King Rong said very respectfully: "I heard that the master Jinlun Dharma King is a master of Tantric Buddhism. This... this king has always been good at the way of longevity. I don't know if Tantric Buddhism has a way to make people live forever?"

Gongbu Ngawang didn't seem to have expected that King Rong would invite him here with such respect. He actually wanted to ask this question. He was a little surprised and said: "My tantra seeks to escape from reincarnation. Immortality should be the Taoist art of Huang Lao. .But if the prince wants to prolong his life, practicing martial arts will be of some benefit." Suddenly, his eyebrows twitched, his brows tightened, and he glanced out of the window.

But King Rong immediately interrupted: "No, no, no! This king can't do so hard to practice martial arts. To tell you the truth, I got a prescription more than 20 years ago. I took the pill made from the bone and blood of the newborn baby and took it every day. , just keep going for a day..."

Qu Gu was already planning to leave quietly, but when he heard these words, he felt as if he was being shocked by an electric shock. He didn't care about the danger, he avoided the guards and jumped to a window, only to see the red candles in the room, and the King Rong with the golden crown on his head turned his head Talking to Kampot Ngawang, when he talked to the most exciting point, he took the wine glass casually, turned his head and drank it down, put down the wine glass, and his whole face was just reflected on the bronze mirror facing the window, the lights were brilliant, Take his facial features clearly and distinctly, and you will never admit his mistake!

Qu Gu only felt a thunder flash across his mind, his whole blood seemed to be frozen, staring at that person's face, a huge hatred erupted in his heart.

At this moment, Ouyang Ke was sitting in the hall, enjoying the singing and dancing with the King of Jin on the throne and several ministers, creating an atmosphere of joy for the guests and host.Ouyang Ke glanced at the weak-tempered Wanyan Xun on the throne, secretly resentful in his heart, but had to be patient to accompany him.

At this time, a voluptuous dancer twisted her water snake-like waist, slightly parted her red lips, and committed herself to his table with a wine glass in her mouth.Ouyang Ke glanced at Wanyan Xun who was looking at him with a smile that wasn't a smile, humming in his heart, but his face was full of flair, he curled his lips into a smile, closed the folding fan in his hand, caught the wine glass with the handle of the fan, exerted a little force, and saw The folding fan twirled in the air, but not a single drop of wine fell, he blinked at the dancer girl, already took a drink with the wine glass in his mouth, and held the folding fan firmly with his right hand.There was a bit of chic flirting in this movement, which made the dancer giggle and won applause from the crowd.

Wanyan Xun saw that he was indeed a famous figure in the rumors, and his guard was greatly reduced. It is very easy for a person with such a mind to want to be used by me, so he clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Young Zhuangzhu is indeed a romantic person. This Since the dancer has won the favor of the young master, how can I not be beautiful?"

Ouyang Ke put away the folding fan and lifted the dancer's chin, smiled in satisfaction, clasped his fists together, and said respectfully: "The lord of the country treats you kindly, and the grassroots will do their best to repay it."

Wanyan Xun was proud in his heart, but sighed on his face: "Our ancestors had a hard time starting a business, and my Dajin has only been handed down for a hundred years. Now the Temujin tribe in the north is full of arrogance, the Xixia wars are endless, and the matter of raising troops to the south has not been completed, hate it Now internal and external troubles..."

Wanyan Xun was about to mention the serious matter, but suddenly heard the news that King Rong had an audience with him.Then he saw Wanyan Hongxi rushing in in shock, shouting loudly as he walked: "The guards in this palace are getting more and more lax, and an assassin attacked just now! Your Majesty, you have to decide for your younger brother!"

Hearing that there was an assassin, Wanyan Xun's expression changed, but Ouyang Ke didn't take it seriously, he only thought it was the two Taoist priests of Quanzhen Sect that Qu Gu said, he was happy that Quanzhen Sect was in bad luck, but his heart was happy I mean, I just waited to watch the show after receiving the fine wine offered by the dancer girl.

"Thanks to the presence of Master Gongbu at that time, otherwise my life would have been lost!" Wanyan Hongxi yelled to himself, "Brother Huang, this matter must be investigated, if..." He thought that his sixth younger brother Wanyan Honglie had a group of martial arts masters, and he I don't know if he has already hated Wanyan Xun for taking refuge in Wanyan Xun, and his heart is even slightly terrified.

Wanyan Xun also had a gloomy expression on his face, but he heard a strange accent coming from outside the hall, and said loudly: "There is no need to investigate, just ask the young master."

Ouyang Ke stopped raising his glass, and saw Gongbu Ngawang striding into the hall with his bloody body.He snorted coldly in his heart, and was about to wrinkle his eyebrows to ask questions, when he suddenly saw the light shining on the blood-stained fur in his hand, revealing a little snow-colored white hair, his whole body couldn't help shaking, and his face suddenly turned as white as paper.

Gongbu Ngawang threw Qu Gu on the cold gold brick floor like throwing a ball of rags, sneered and pulled her hair, and asked Ouyang Ke: "Master Ouyang, if I remember correctly, that day in Is this the woman who accompanied the young master in the Daliang Inn?"
