Reincarnation of the powerful minister

The sharp and strange sound of the flute suddenly sounded, almost the same as what he heard in the dream, King Yu subconsciously covered his ears.

He soon discovered that although the melody sounded harsh and uncomfortable this time, it did not have the effect of disturbing the blood in the body and making people irritated and dizzy, perhaps because the flute sound was not aimed at him.

King Yu put down his hands, carefully identified the direction of the flute sound, and continued to chase towards the west courtyard.

The strong wind blew up, and the brothel thugs lay unconscious in all directions in the courtyard, and the lanterns rolled all over the ground.When King Yu arrived, he saw the woman standing on the top of the rockery lift up her long skirt, revealing her legs in white silk trousers, and couldn't help being slightly startled.

She tore off the tie, took off the long sword tied to the outside of her thigh, and immediately unsheathed the frost blade, as if stirring up an upside-down galaxy, rolling towards the commoner man on the eaves.

This is the "red girl" that Qinghe said?The swordsmanship is really fierce, and it looks familiar... King Yu suddenly remembered that the female assassin who cut off Wei Jun's arm in Lingguang Temple seemed to have exactly this appearance?

"He is my concubine."

"He is a poor man, and he has some chance and relationship with me. He regards me as a benefactor, so how can I refuse to save him?"

The words are still ringing in his ears, and now King Yu can be sure: the female assassin, the black-clothed masked man who fought against him at Night Detective Palace, and the brothel girl "Red Girl" in front of him are all Su Yan's personal bodyguards - Jing Hongchai.

Having said that, women's clothing seems to be more suitable for him than men's clothing, so he can just leave the palace, and the concubine should be justified, King Yu secretly mocked.

On that side, in order to avoid the sword, Fuyin retreated quickly, the soles of his shoes cut two deep marks on the roof, and the broken tiles splashed everywhere.As he retreated, he poured all his true energy into a crane bone between his fingers.

This crane bone flute has been processed with secret medicine, it is stronger than metal and stone, and it can also strengthen the sound wave vibration, it is Fuyin's famous weapon.At this moment, under the full force, no sound can be heard, but the fallen leaves and splashed tiles around are all shattered into powder in this silent and invisible power——

Jing Hong retreated after Jianfeng, and blocked it in front of her, but she was still thrown backwards by the shock, and blood streaked out from the ear canal.

King Yu didn't go to help, but deliberately raised his voice and asked: "Can you do it? If you can't, let me go."

Jing Hong's hairpin was scattered, her skirt fluttered, her long hair was like black waves in the wind, she said coldly: "No need. You go and catch that Mr. Turtle, he is the contact person."

When Jing Hong was chasing and fighting Fuyin, Mr. Gui returned to the house with the madam on his back, trying to escape through the secret passage.

But he was held back by the unconscious bustard, and as soon as he turned on the mechanism, King Yu kicked the door in.In desperation, Mr. Gui pulled out an iron rod from under the bed and waved it at King Yu.

In terms of skill, he can be regarded as second-rate in the world, with one hand flying a snake stick like a gust of wind and rain, dense but not sparse, he strikes upwards.

It's a pity that King Yu was proficient in the method of lance, and the stick was just as small as a big witch. He broke the door in two or three strokes, and snatched the stick, and pressed the tip of the stick against the opponent's throat: "If you don't hold back, you will be arrested! If you ask anything, just answer honestly." What, maybe I can spare your life."

Seeing that there was no hope of escape, Gui Gong could only beg for mercy: "My lord, I really don't know what's going on, I'm just a gatekeeper."

How could King Yu believe it? He tied him up and threw him in a corner, saying: "I'm impatient to interrogate you. I'll let you experience the torture of Beizhen Fusi later, and keep the eighteen generations of your ancestors to tell everything."

Mr. Gui was so frightened that his face turned ashen, and he bumped his head against the wall.

King Yu said: "If you escape for your life, you have to bring a comatose person with you. It seems that you have deep affection and righteousness. If you kill yourself, you can take this old bustard to the execution hall."

Guigong had no choice but to answer one by one, saying that Linhua Pavilion is the underground stronghold of Yinjianmen in the capital. She recruited fireworks girls and started a skin business here, which is even more deceptive.He kept concealing his identity, so the madam didn't know about it, only when he was a lazy man who couldn't support the wall with mud, he scolded and hated him, but he was still willing to support him, so when the disaster came, he was reluctant to abandon her.

"What's in here?" King Yu pointed to the dark hole in the wall behind his bed.

"It's a secret door with a mechanism, connected to a secret passage."

"Where does the secret road lead to?"

"Leading to... Ming Hall."

King Yu was taken aback.

The Mingtang is the temple of the Son of Heaven. It is an important ceremonial building built by the emperors of all dynasties. .Dare to call yourself by this name casually, it's just outrageous.

He couldn't help but sneered: "What kind of ghostly place can't be seen in the light, it deserves to be called Mingtang!"

He asked again, "Is the flute player outside going to do something through the secret passage, or meet someone?"

"I don't know about that. The younger one is a gatekeeper, responsible for welcoming people with seven kill tokens into the secret passage. The door rules are strict, and even if a villain wants to know about other things, he doesn't have the guts to inquire about them! I beg your lord to be clear and let me and my mother-in-law go, we will leave the capital right away, and never have anything to do with Yinjianmen or the Seven Killing Camp from now on."

King Yu had heard of Yinjianmen.It is said that the assassin who attempted to assassinate the prince was a member of the Yinjian sect. The emperor was furious because of this, and ordered the encirclement and extermination, resulting in the collapse of this centuries-old Jianghu sect overnight.

But I have never heard of the Seven Kills Battalion and the Seven Kills Token.

Maybe Jing Hongzhui, who was born in the Jianghu outside, knows something.

King Yu was about to go out to see how the battle was going, when suddenly the beams of the house shook, and the roof and walls collapsed amidst the sound of "booming and clattering".

It turned out that Jing Hongzhui and Fuyin fought fiercely, and more than half of the whole wing room was blown down.

There were faint noises such as "the earth dragon turned over" and "run away" from outside, probably because the people in the brothel saw the collapse of the house for no reason and thought it was an earthquake.

With such a big commotion, it seems that there is no need to set off fireworks to notify the other side. King Yu saw that the remaining half of the room was about to collapse, so he grabbed Mr. Gui and Mrs. Madam and strode out of the room.

As soon as he stepped into the yard, the Fuyin was beaten so weak that it smashed through the roof and fell.

Fuyin held his head in his arms and rolled a few times on the ground full of bricks and tiles. He happened to roll near the opened secret door and took the opportunity to get in.

Immediately afterwards, Jing Hong rushed into the secret door with a flash of lightning-like sword light.

The remaining half of the house was overwhelmed, and finally collapsed completely, becoming ruins, and the entrance to the secret passage was buried in the rubble and wood.

Shen Qi embraced Su Yan, and used lightness kung fu to fly over.Su Yan panted and asked, "Where's the person?"

King Yu pointed to the collapsed ruins behind him, "Under there."

Su Yan was shocked, shouted "A Zhui" and was about to rush over.Shen Qi firmly held his arm, and dissuaded her: "You can't lift it, maybe it will collapse. Jing Hong is good at chasing martial arts, she won't be easily crushed, she will come out by herself."

King Yu said: "There is a secret door leading to a secret passage in the room. If he chases Yin Fu in, he may not be able to get out in a short time."

Su Yan frowned: "The enemy is in the dark, and we don't know what's going on in the secret passage. Ah Zhui can't be allowed to take risks by himself. We must quickly dig the entrance and send someone down."

Seeing his eager tone, Shen Qi was obviously very nervous about the safety of the gangsters, she couldn't help but felt sour and hated, and said mockingly: "It's not that he relies on his swordsmanship, chopping a big tree is like chopping tofu, there's nothing to worry about .”

When Su Yan heard it, she knew that Shen Qi was still remembering the time when Ah Zhui attacked him at a critical moment and stabbed him, so she patted the back of Shen Qi's hand helplessly: "Qilang, you want to settle with him Old account, then he has to come back alive first, doesn’t he?”

King Yu really wanted to continue pretending to be magnanimous, but it was a pity that he was defeated by this "Qi Lang", so he said sourly: "My king is doing four, why don't you hear someone call me 'Si Lang'."

Su Yan stared at him: "My lord, don't make sarcastic remarks! Why don't you go down to investigate the situation and help Ah Zhui?"

King Yu spread his hands, expressing that he was helpless.

Su Yan rolled up his sleeves in a rage, and was about to rush into the ruins, looking for the secret door that was blocked by masonry and wood.Shen Qi wanted to faint him, but was also afraid that he would make a fuss after waking up, so she had no choice but to say: "You stay by the side, I'll look for it."

Shen Qi of the Yu Dynasty showed a sneering look: soft bones, worthless.

Su Yan saw that King Yu was angry because he didn't help, so he held back his anger and said, "Since the lord is fine, please go back. You don't need to eat ashes here. We can handle our own affairs."

King Yu's obedience was not good - Su Yan's attitude towards him was easy to loosen a little before, but now he is ostracized again, it seems that it is not enough for Jing Hong to chase after him.So he compromised and said: "Yin Fu belongs to this prince's mansion, so I naturally want to clean up the door, so I went to call the guards to clean up the ruins and look for the entrance."

Su Yan's face looked better.

Shen Qi returned a sneering look to King Yu: "You're useless, you're weak."

On the ground behind her, the madam woke up suddenly, sat up in a daze, and after seeing the ruins clearly, she screamed: "Why did my mother's house collapse? What a bald bastard did it! I was caught by my mother and told him to dismantle the dog." The bones are used as the beams of the house, and I have to rebuild them for my mother!"

Turning around, seeing Mr. Gui being tied up into rice dumplings, he shouted again: "Oh, old Shacai, did you get jumped by a fairy?"

The bustard hurriedly went to untie the rope tied to Mr. Gui, but was stopped by King Yu: "He is involved in an important case, so he has to go to court."

The madam was shocked, and said to King Yu, "Sweetie! Don't make fun of this stupid tortoise in my family. If it's because the red girl refuses to serve, I will strip her naked with my own hands, and tie her to the bed. You can do whatever you want." juggling."

Jing Hong, who was stripped naked and tied to the bed, was chasing after... The picture was too horrifying to imagine, King Yu felt a chill and shouted, "Shut up!"

Su Yan looked away, a little unable to bear to see King Yu's expression.

Shen Qi sneered: "Old bustard, you go and clear the restaurant, and wait for Beizhen Fusi to take over here."

When the bustard heard the words "Beizhen Fusi", her liver and gallbladder were split, she got up, ran a few steps, then turned back with difficulty, and cried: "My lord, he is just a muddy bastard, he has no guts." Those who committed the crime, I hope the officials will clearly investigate."

Shen Qi waved her hand impatiently and sent her away.

The bustard took another look at Mr. Gui, wiped away her tears with a handkerchief and left.

After a while, it turned back again.

Shen Qi was bending over to lift a main beam on the ruins, seeing this and asked sharply: "What else is there?!"

The bustard sat on the ground with weak legs, and tremblingly said: "Outside, the outside is surrounded by officials, who say they want... to catch prostitutes."

Su Yan lost his voice: "Arrest whoring?"

"That's right. The officers from the Bingma Division came here every now and then, saying they wanted to search for officials who violated the law and went whoring, but every time they put some money in, they just sent them away. Tonight, for some reason, a group of people came here, blocking Guests are not allowed to leave at the gate, saying that someone has reported officials who are prostitutes, and they want to be caught. I try to say that it doesn’t work, and I don’t accept money, but what can I do..."

The more the madam thought about it, the more frightened she became, "A few regular customers are all officials, including the county magistrate, the master in charge, oh, the biggest one is a Hanlin master... If they are caught, my restaurant will have to pay a large fine. What to do!"

She suddenly looked at Shen Qi: "The official said just now that he belonged to Beizhen Fusi? Wouldn't it be one of them?"

Shen Qi's face darkened: "What nonsense, I didn't whoring."

The more Su Yan thought about it, the more he felt that the anti-pornography and anti-illegal brigade came too soon, and there was something wrong with this situation.Could it be that one of the bosses above was upset and wanted to give him some flair under the guise of the law?

...Does it mean the emperor or the young master?

If it was really these two, it would not be possible to use it to report criticism. After all, he is also a censor, and his name is important, and the sixty sticks can probably be avoided.

But in the future, I will use this trumped-up excuse to grind me, am I wronged?

I said I was visiting a brothel, but in the end I didn't even touch the girls' hands, I was wronged!

King Yu calmly smiled at Su Yan: "Don't worry." No matter what, the clan is out of control.At worst, he relied on his identity to take Su Yan away, and no one dared to stop him.

Su Yan found another way, slapped his thigh, and said, "Good job! I'm worried that there is no manpower, so I asked them to come in and help dig."

As a result, Master Su really used the prostitution arrest team as a strong labor force.

The reason is that "the Fusi of Beizhen and Dali Temple jointly investigated the case. Two lonely officials in plain clothes sneaked into the brothel and found something strange hidden in the brothel. The suspect escaped into the secret passage. Now the military and horses need to cooperate to clear the entrance."

Commander Wang Ci was stunned for a moment by the commander of the Xicheng army and horses. Seeing that Prince Yu was also present, he obediently obeyed and ordered his subordinates to clean up immediately.

Not long after, the entrance to the secret passage was exposed.

Several soldiers held torches to explore the way, Su Yan wanted to go in to check what happened, Shen Qi and King Yu also went in, and the supporting soldiers came to the rear.

Commander Wang was left with his men and horses, waiting outside for news.

The walls of the secret passage are rough, as if they are only used as passages, and no decoration has been made.A group of people zigzag and walked for about two or three miles. In the light of the torches, a very wide hall appeared in front of them.

The layout of the hall is like a temple hall, with statues and altars in the center, shrines on the four walls, rows of futons on the ground, and a faint giant pattern on the deepest wall.Su Yan squinted his eyes and looked at the distance, the pattern seemed very familiar...

"That's what Mr. Gui called the 'Ming Tang'?" King Yu said.

The soldiers who explored the way walked in with torches, but before they had time to gain a foothold, the hall suddenly exploded.

The sound of the explosion sounded deafeningly in the nearly enclosed space, the walls shook endlessly, clods of soil and stone chips splashed everywhere, and the smoke and dust filled the air.

Su Yan was blown away by the shock wave, hit something in mid-air, and fainted as soon as his eyes went dark.

After an unknown amount of time, he woke up coughing, unable to see his fingers.I just feel that there is a person lying on my body, and there seems to be another person under me.

The dim light of Huo Zhe lit up, Shen Qi turned over from above him and sat up, coughing, and whispered: "Qinghe...Qinghe!"

"I'm fine." Su Yan panted, "Thanks to you blocking me, didn't I get hit?"

"It's okay." Shen Qi said, calmly pressing her painful ribs.

Su Yan went to touch the person under him again, moved the fire folder over to take a picture, and found that it was King Yu, still in a coma, his forehead was knocked on the stone, and a lot of blood was bleeding.

He knew that when the explosion happened, the two of them must have protected each other with their bodies, so he was safe and sound. He was very grateful in his heart, and quickly tore off the cloth strip from the clean mid laner, and went to bandage the wound of King Yu.

King Yu groaned, gradually regained consciousness, touched the bandage on his forehead, and said hoarsely: "It seems that gunpowder is pre-buried in that hall. The other party has already made preparations to destroy this place once it is exposed."

Shen Qi said: "I just saw from the light of the torch that there seemed to be portals on the four walls of the hall. There might be more than one secret passage. This hall is a confluence, but unfortunately it collapsed. I don't know where those secret passages lead to The place, is it another stronghold of the Seven Killing Battalion?"

Su Yan recalled: "I saw a huge pattern on the white wall in the depths, like... an eight-petaled blood lotus?"

King Yu said: "No matter what, the hall has collapsed, and we can only turn back. If we are lucky, the passage we came from did not follow the landslide, and we can return the same way, otherwise we can only be trapped here."

After thinking about it, Su Yan had no choice but to turn around and try, and sighed: "Poor those soldiers, they were blown to pieces, and they couldn't even collect their corpses."

The two helped him to stand up, Su Yan was dizzy and tinnitus, retching because of the sequelae caused by the shock wave.

Shen Qi and King Yu said at the same time: "I'll carry you on my back."

Su Yan waved his hands, relieved his breath, wiped his face with his sleeve, and said, "I can walk, just give me a hand."

As soon as he took a step, a few pages of paper fell from the hem of his clothes, and they were illuminated by fire, as if the torn pages of some scripture were blown onto him after an explosion.Su Yan casually stuffed the paper into the skirt of his clothes, holding one in each of his left and right hands, and walked back and forth slowly.

Fortunately, the secret passage hadn't completely collapsed, and there were still gaps in several places for a single person to squeeze through sideways.

A group of people finally walked out of the secret passage, still came out from the entrance of the ruins, and returned to the courtyard of Linhua Pavilion.

The soldiers who survived by chance also left the secret passage one by one, and there were more than half of them than when they entered.

Commander Wang was taken aback when he saw their disheveled appearances: "Both adults are safe...ah, my lord is injured!"

King Yu waved his hand, "There is no need to make a fuss about a little flesh injury."

Su Yan was worried: "Ah Zhui will be fine..."

He suspected that his guards chased Fuyin into the secret passage, and met some key person in the hall, which caused the other party to feel a sense of crisis. In order to prevent his identity from being exposed, he ignited the gunpowder embedded in it, and blew up the hall and everything inside. .

This approach is ruthless and decisive, not only blocking other secret passages, but also allowing those who follow behind to be buried underground.As for the painstakingly built dark fort, if it is destroyed, it will be destroyed, and the pawns will be abandoned to save the car, nothing more.

It is estimated that when they entered the secret passage, the man had just left.

It's just that he doesn't know where Ah Zhui is now and whether he is safe.

Su Yan thought about it, and felt that there was no way to contact Ah Zhui for the time being, and he could only wait for him to come back to find him after he escaped.In addition, ask Bing Ma Si to pay attention to various places in the city, especially Linhua Pavilion as the center, with a radius of two or three miles, to see if there is any impact on the ground.

As soon as he finished his explanation, a pawn came in panting outside and reported to the commander of the soldiers and horses: "My lord, my lord... collapsed..."

"What's broken, explain clearly!" the commander asked urgently.

"Baizhifang...a huge pit collapsed on the ground, many houses collapsed, and countless casualties..."

That was the area under the jurisdiction of the Xicheng Bingma Division. Commander Wang said in surprise, "How could it suddenly sink?!"

Su Yan frowned: "I'm afraid it was the chain reaction caused by the underground explosion."

Before the words were finished, the sky was as bright as day in the south-west direction, like a big fireball rising from the ground, and at the same time, the loud noise was like thunder.

For a moment, it seemed as if the sky collapsed and the earth fell, and the whole ground under his feet trembled violently.

The soldiers couldn't stand still and fell together, Su Yan was firmly protected by Shen Qi and King Yu, so he didn't hit the rockery next to him.

Commander Wang put his hand on the rockery and cried out in a crying voice: "Baizhifang is where the Gunpowder Bureau of the Ministry of War is located! It's over, it's over, the gunpowder in stock exploded!"
