Fairy Road Return [comprehensive]

It takes about half an hour to walk slowly from the Leopard Garden to the busy streets of the capital. Li Xie and the others are not in a hurry, so their walking speed is very slow, so when they arrived at the most prosperous street in the capital, it was already a half hour. Half an hour passed, and Li Xie knew what was tricky at a glance. The shops on both sides of the street or the small vendors with stalls did not look like they usually do business, and the officials of the street patrol battalion patrolled more diligently than before. It's quite a bit, so Emperor Zhengde wanted to see the authentic life of ordinary people in the city, with his group of dedicated subordinates, it's better to dream!

Emperor Zhengde glanced over, with disappointment in his eyes and said: "Uncle Tang, there is no fun to talk about on this street."

Zhu Houyao looked at the bustle of the street, and was a little confused. He always felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know where to start.

Li Xie gave him a white look, pulled the corner of his mouth slightly to the left, and said with a sneer, "Your Majesty, you should reward your Jinyiwei Commander. For your safety, you have taken precautions for this. I admire you very much."

He didn't take Jiang Bin with him when he went out today, and he didn't inform him, so he took two eunuchs with him and left with Tang Shu. What does Tang Shu mean by that?Emperor Zhengde was puzzled.

Li Xie didn't say any more, and led Emperor Zhengde to the crowd. The passers-by and small vendors might not know that the Emperor was here in person, but they also knew that it was the court officials who came to inspect, and the restaurants or teahouses on both sides of the street The store manager and others must know that it is the emperor himself, and the merchant has always had a close relationship with the government in order to do business.

"What kind of fun are you looking for? Raiding houses? Playboys flirting with girls from good families? Or playboys fighting cocks and walking dogs?" Li Xie couldn't help laughing, what fun is there in the market?Isn't that what these things are?Otherwise, why don't you see him interested in the products on the street?

Emperor Zhengde was a little embarrassed in his heart, but there was no fluctuation on his face. As an emperor, he still practiced his skills of keeping calm.

"Do you know how much an egg you usually eat?" Seeing his dead state, Li Xie wanted to find something for him to do, don't just keep company with tigers, leopards, cats and dogs all day long, an emperor can do it In this regard, it makes people laugh out loud.

Emperor Zhengde's face became embarrassed, how did he know how much an egg cost?He couldn't help but look at Zhang Yong and Ma Yongcheng who were following them. Zhang Yong was the most proud eunuch by his side, Ma Yongcheng and others came in third. There were a total of eight trusted eunuchs by his side, and the courtiers called them the Eight Tigers.

Zhang Yong started to break out in a cold sweat. As the chief eunuch, what didn't he know about the affairs of the harem?It is obvious that King Chongjing is going to make trouble!

Zhang Yongqi and Ai Ai were speechless, Emperor Zhengde was puzzled, and then stared at Ma Yongcheng.

Ma Yongcheng gave a jolt and said, "Report to master, the account shows five cents for an egg."

Emperor Zhengde was finally satisfied, he looked at Li Xie, and said, "Uncle Tang, five cents for an egg."

"Hehe." Li Xie couldn't help laughing, he signaled Emperor Zhengde to follow him, and after walking for a short time, he came to an old woman selling eggs, in front of the old woman was a basket of eggs, now in front of Shengshi Taiping, eggs Not worth much, the expensive three pennies for two, the usual price is one penny each, if you buy more, places like restaurants that use a lot of eggs, the more you buy, the cheaper it is, on average, the cheapest time is five pennies ten eggs.

The old woman had a loud voice, and she talked about the things in the neighborhood in a clear and logical way. Li Xie thanked the old man and said to Zhu Tong: "It's not easy for the old man. At such an old age, you still have to come out to sell eggs to supplement the family. Don't call the old man Became a fish in the city, otherwise I would have to investigate to the end."

Zhang Yong and Ma Yongcheng were in a cold sweat. They knew that King Chongjing was warning them. Now that they have no means to separate themselves, they can't send the message back to the palace. I hope His Majesty didn't notice these things, otherwise the harem will be cleaned up. And there will be huge changes in the business district.

Zhu Tongwei nodded, he knew what the prince meant, but he thought that Jiang Bin, the commander of the Jinyiwei, and the governor of the East Factory and the governor of the West Factory should have no time to care about him.

Emperor Zhengde was not stupid, his eyes turned back and forth on Zhang Yong and Ma Yongcheng, his expression was full of thunderous anger, but after a while it returned to normal.

Zhu Houyao drooped his head, the father is making trouble!His mind was spinning fast. After returning to the palace, the guards of the palace must be doubled. In the face of huge benefits, some people will take risks, but the best guards of the palace are only second-rate masters in the world. Most of the others are not in the top class, so should he invite a first-class master in the world to be his father's bodyguard?

Li Xie raised his eyebrows, bid farewell to the old lady, and continued to walk forward swaggeringly. This time Emperor Zhengde took the initiative to care about the people's feelings, and he didn't need Li Xie's guidance, he was automatically looking for what he wanted to know.

Until noon, the two were eating in the restaurant, and they didn't go to the private room. They were in the public space on the second floor. After the food was served, Zhang Yong and Ma Yongcheng were going to test the poison with silver needles. Li Xie gave them a white look and said, "No poison." , Those well-known poisons/medicines in the Jianghu can't even be tested with silver needles." He ate it first.

No poison/drug can hide in front of him!

Emperor Zhengde looked at Lixie, blinked his eyes, his posture was still so serious, and asked: "Does Tang Shu also know medical skills?"

Li Xie raised his eyebrows: "You have become a doctor after a long illness, you should understand a little bit, and fool laymen."

Emperor Zhengde thought to himself, Tang Shu's boastful appearance didn't seem like he was just fooling a layman.

After that, they stopped talking, and the three of them ate without saying a word. After about a quarter of an hour, the meal was over, and Zhu Tong, Zhang Yong and others also ate. As servants, they must eat faster than the master .

In the afternoon, Lixie took Emperor Zhengde to many places, all of which were elegant venues. Among them, Fengyue venues were of course not like red street brothels, but elegant places where behind-the-scenes performers did not sell themselves. The piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are excellent, and they don't make physical transactions with the guests. Of course, if the guests are fancy, they can be redeemed and married back home.There are also teahouses, gardening buildings and so on. As for meeting some ministers or ministers' sons unexpectedly, this is an indescribable pleasure.

In the evening, the Huoshaoyun was burning in the sky, making the whole sky red. Lixie brought Emperor Zhengde to the gate of the palace, and Emperor Zhengde bowed his hands to him: "Thank you Tangshu today, I have never spent such a wonderful day."

Li Xie patted him on the shoulder: "Uncle Tang will take you to the rivers and lakes some other day!" He found the emperor's nephew here to be very interesting, but he tested the emperor's pulse today and found that this baby was born with a dead spirit, and his face is also He has no children for life, even if he cured his illness, it would be futile if the underworld did not arrange for his soul to reincarnate, so he should just pretend not to know.

Emperor Zhengde smiled slightly, Lixie turned around and waved his hands, and walked away with his son, housekeeper and guards swaggeringly, Emperor Zhengde looked at his uncle's back, his emotions eased bit by bit, turned around, he It's the emperor who deserves to look down on the world!

After returning to the palace, Li Xie went back to rest. He didn't take the possible assassination seriously. Although he seemed to be powerless now, he had special skills to stare at anyone!

But Zhu Houyao was very worried when he saw his father's appearance. He dragged the butler to discuss for a long time. up.

There are many sects in the rivers and lakes. Although the government is trying its best to govern them, they can't control them. As long as there are no large-scale deaths, the government and the rivers and lakes will not interfere with each other.

Now there are three major killer organizations in Jianghu, the number one is the Seven Star Hall, the second is the Blood Killing Hall, the third is the Ming Luo Temple, and of course there are other second-rate or not-in-rate forces, and there are more bounties Hunters, but bounty hunters generally accept government rewards.

The place Zhu Houyao went to was the stronghold of Qixingtang in the capital. The best killer in martial arts."

Behind the counter, an old man who looked like a senile old man saw the silver with cloudy eyes, and his eyes immediately lit up. He counted, 1 taels, which is indeed the selling price of the number one killer of Qixingtang, and scooped up the silver in his arms, smiling. Authentic: "Who is the guest officer trying to kill?"

Zhu Houyao shook his head: "I don't kill people, I invite the killer with the best martial arts in Qixingtang to be one's bodyguard."

The old man's beard trembled, and he paid a lot of money to hire the number one killer of the Seven Star Hall to be his bodyguard?Will it be overkill?Or was that person in too much trouble?

But for the sake of money, it's easy to say anything!

"Row!"

Zhu Houyao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's best to arrive early tomorrow morning, or tomorrow night at the latest, otherwise the outdated transaction will not be counted." Then he took back the cloth bag from the old man's arms, leaving only 500 taels of deposit, "Chongjing Palace. "

The old man squinted his eyes as he looked at the receding figure in the dark night, he was a little confused, Chongjing Palace, he knew it!What kind of trouble could King Chongjing cause by his narrow escape?

The old man shook his head, he didn't think so much, so he quickly passed on the news to find out where the Seven Swords were?At the very least, Qidao is fine, only the insiders of Qixingtang know that Qijian is now the number one killer of Qixingtang, and Qidao, the senior, has been surpassed by the younger generation, but people in the Jianghu don't know yet!

About an hour later, a cold man in black with a long sword floated in from the depths of the street. He stood at the door of the pastry shop, glanced at the seven-star logo at the door, and then jumped into the shop.

After hearing what the old man said, Qi Jian just nodded silently, and didn't say much. The old man didn't care, Qi Jian had such a cold temperament.

"I didn't expect you to come so soon. The earliest time agreed by Prince Chongjing is tomorrow morning. You should rest here for a good night and go to Chongjing Prince's Mansion after dawn tomorrow." The old man urged.

Seven Swords nodded, this time it was finally no longer silent, he said: "Thank you Uncle Lan."

Li Xie didn't know that the cheap son hired a bodyguard at a high price for his safety. After resting for two hours, he woke up at night and found that he couldn't fall asleep. Then he began to study martial arts. Although he didn't Memory, he only remembers his own name, but his instinct is still there, people here are quite good at martial arts, he doesn't want to be a soft-footed shrimp.

Chongjing Prince's Mansion naturally collected a lot of martial arts secrets. After Li Xie made up his mind, he spread out those martial arts secrets on the bed. After browsing them one by one, he found that they were easy to understand. Be the number one master of martial arts.

Half an hour later, Li Xie was spread out on the bed, his face was dull, he never thought that this body was a waste material, his dantian couldn't gather any internal force at all, his meridians were extremely thin, his inner breath passed, his whole body trembled, The pain was unbearable, so he could only be a soft-legged shrimp.

Early in the morning, when the sky was bright, Li Xie came out of the bedroom with a drooping face, opened the door of the outer room, and saw a black-clothed swordsman outside. This man was dressed in black and held a sword in his hand. Long sword, and tall and straight, standing outside his door like a pillar.

"You don't seem to be from the mansion, boy, why are you outside my door?" This man's martial arts skills are extremely high, and his body is surrounded by black mist, and the bloody aura is strong, but he has no resentment.

Qijian bowed towards Lixie with his sword in his arms: "My lord, I am the person my son invited to protect my lord's safety. My lord can just call me Seven Swords."

Li Xie raised his eyebrows, he looked at the Seven Swords from top to bottom, where did the cheap son find a master, and put him by his side to protect him, isn't this an overkill?

He didn't say anything more, nodded, and went to the front hall.

At this time in the front hall, Zhu Tong and Zhu Houyao were staring blankly, especially Zhu Tong, who was sighing and sighing, he really didn't look like a ten-year-old child!

Li Xie raised his eyebrows, he just had a bad taste, he was happy when he saw other people suffering, so the worries of his cheap son and the housekeeper cured his depression of not being able to practice martial arts.

"Sighing early in the morning, what happened?"

Qijian silently followed into the front hall, he was standing behind Li Xie, and because of his profession, he was already standing at the best angle, no matter who wanted to assassinate Li Xie, he could do the fastest reaction.

Zhu Houyao pursed his lips, wiped his face, and looked like he was about to cry, "Father, something happened in the palace. Brother Huang arrested a lot of eunuchs overnight and put him in prison. Grandpa Qi Wang at the House of Internal Affairs was demoted by Brother Huang." , Commander Jiang Bin of the Jinyiwei was demoted, and the current commander of the Jinyiwei is the former Deputy Envoy Zhuo Ran."

Li Xie nodded and asked his son to continue. Zhu Houyao said with a dejected face, "I'm afraid the emperor will take the businessman's knife tomorrow." Let them deceive the emperor and let them earn the money from the emperor. Brother Huang knows that he has been taken advantage of, and no one will let it go.

Qijian silently acted as his background board, but in fact he still had doubts in his heart, just like King Chongjing, does he have any enemies?

"Many people will suffer in this situation, especially businessmen. I am afraid that they are highly skilled and bold, and those who have been punished by His Majesty like Grandpa Qi Wang are afraid that they will be angry and vent their anger. This is what my father reminded me of." Brother, our palace will be the target of public criticism by then." Zhu Houyao blinked, thinking that he was still incapable of competing with many people.

Qijian suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Shizi paid a lot of money to hire him as the prince's bodyguard because he was afraid of revenge.

Li Xie waved his hand: "Don't worry, those people still have nothing to do with me. If they don't know how to restrain themselves, I'll take them out of the pot. Let's see if they dare to provoke me?"

On this day, Li Xie was still out shopping, and under the attack of Emperor Zhengde's anger, the flow of people on the street became less, and the business became less and less. Many businessmen who do business with the royal family are now looking for contacts and taking money to appease the emperor. For the time being, he didn't care about the trouble of finding the culprit.

In view of the fact that Emperor Zhengde has always been an unusual person, he did not cut off people's heads in this incident. Like Zhang Yong and others, he gave forgiveness, but their authority was reduced by more than half, and they were used by the palace. He was a merchant who was worried about what to do, but he was woken up by a certain merchant. The merchant almost took out half of his property as atonement, which could make up for the extra money that the palace used to spend. So in the end, these merchants took a three-day trip to the prison, and finally redeemed them with money, and Emperor Zhengde's private treasury became rich in this way.

So a group of businessmen who came back from the prison made an appointment together, looked at each other's embarrassed appearance, and suddenly remembered the culprit, so a group of businessmen raised a huge sum of money, in order to clear their relationship, they took With the money to buy King Chongjing's life from the killer organization, the first choice of the killer organization is naturally Qixingtang.

Another stronghold of Qixingtang in the capital is an embroidery building. The shopkeeper of Xiulou looked at the huge sum of money in front of him, and shook his head in pain, and refused. Their Qixingtang accepted the task of protecting King Chongjing, how dare they play their own cards?

Helpless, these people had no choice but to succumb to looking for Xueshatang, Xueshatang accepted the task, which was a big task of 5 taels of silver, but they thought that King Chongjing was a sick child, and the defense of the Chongjing Palace was not very good , So Xue Luo, the tenth-ranked killer, was sent to assassinate King Chongjing.

So that night, Li Xie was expressing his feelings to the moon. In the shadow behind him, Qijian stood silently. Suddenly, Qijian's ears moved, and his hand holding the sword tightened. He had been idle for three days. Those people Is it finally here?

An arrow shot directly at Li Xie's eyebrows from the darkness, Li Xie sighed, how could someone be so bold?Are those people fools?Tomorrow, he should go to the emperor's nephew for a heart-to-heart talk.

A sword flew out from behind Li Xie, with a clang, the sword collided with the arrow, and Qi Jian himself dodged over, picked up the sword in the air and stabbed at the black shadow above his head.

Seven Swords is the number one killer in the Seven Star Hall, and its martial arts itself is at the level of a first-class master in the Jianghu. Although Xue Luo's martial arts can be regarded as the first-class level in the Jianghu, there is still a gap between the first-class level and the first-class level. Xueluo can't compare to Seven Swords!

The sound of the wind was whistling in my ears, Li Xie Youzai Youzai, Zhu Houyao, Zhu Tong, Tang Tianpeng and others who heard the sound ran over and couldn't intervene.

Seven Swords restrained Xue Luo, he tapped Xue Luo's acupoints, pushed him towards Li Xie, and said indifferently: "Xue Luo, the tenth killer in the Blood Killing Hall!"

Li Xie took a look at Xue Luo and Qi Jian, the resentment in Xue Luo was stronger than that of Xue Luo, so he must have killed many innocent people as a killer, but what about Qi Jian?There was no resentment on him, only a strong bloody aura, indicating that the people he killed were the ones who deserved to be killed, and it was the kind of revenge for the suffering master. Li Xie immediately became very interested in Seven Swords, and he decided not to kill Seven Swords Also went back.

As a killer, one should be prepared to die anytime and anywhere, so Xue Luo's expression was very calm.

Zhu Houyao, Zhu Tong and the others surrounded him, Li Xie looked at Zhu Tong, and asked, "Does the government have a warrant for arresting Xue Luo? Go check it out tomorrow, invalidate his martial arts, and hand it over to the government."

Zhu Tong nodded, and Zhu Houyao heaved a sigh of relief. The bodyguard he hired for 1 taels of silver seemed to be very useful.

Li Xie wondered secretly, if the blood killing hall failed this time, do they have to send other people tomorrow?He immediately became interested in these killers, and if he was pleasing to the eye, he would stay and work for him.
