The fairy is fierce

Chapter 3: Natural beauty is hard to give up

He raised the knife and dropped it too quickly.

The surrounding people did not see clearly what happened until this moment.

Only to find that after Cui Shanying's terrifying sword strike, there was a blood hole on his waist and abdomen.

And the young man in green was still in his original position, seemingly not even raising his hand.

Cui Shanying's face turned red, she jumped back to the top of the carriage, her waist was bleeding profusely, she raised her sword and pointed at Zuo Lingquan, and said angrily:

"Who are you?"

The surrounding police officers were also shocked:

"What a fast knife!"

"Young hero, you..."

"Sure, how could you hurt Mr. Cui?"

Zuo Lingquan stood quietly in the rain, turning a blind eye to the noise around him. After waiting for a moment, he raised his Zhan Gang knife and scratched the bloody blade with his thumb:

"Cui, could it be that my knife missed the target?"

When all the detectives heard this, they came back to their senses and turned to look at Cui Shanying, who was standing on the sedan chair with great momentum, and frowned.

The Zhangang Knife is poisonous and can block the flow of energy and blood in the meridians. It is a tool that is distributed by the imperial court to deal with cultivators and strange beasts.

Cui Shanying had a hole stabbed in her waist, but she was still alive and well. She obviously didn't look like her blood was blocked, which only meant that the knife was indeed a fake.

Thinking of this, the detectives all looked at the sabers in their hands with doubts in their eyes. After all, this was a matter of life and death.

The incident happened suddenly. Cui Shanying was completely unprepared. Nearly a hundred people were watching, and people from the imperial court were also present. He then showed the appearance of falling to the ground helplessly, which was obviously trying to hide himself. He could only glare at Zuo Lingquan, gritted his teeth and said:

"This sword is indeed useless. I will ask the teacher clearly. I am Lingtai Lang in the Qintian Prison. I am an official for the imperial court. To use the sword on the imperial officials in the street is tantamount to conspiracy! You are so brave. Take it down for me. ”

Although Ling Tailang is only a seventh-grade casualty, he is also a genuine official. He has a background in Qihuang Valley and has a high status in the capital.

When Cui Shanying was stabbed in the street, the surrounding police officers couldn't pretend they didn't see it, but Zuo Lingquan came to his aid first, and they were all in trouble for a while.

Lao Zhang quickly stepped in and said something nice to smooth things over:

"Master Cui, please calm down. This young hero is also impulsive. As a master of Qihuang Valley, your master has great magical powers. This sword will not hurt you at all..."

Cui Huaiying was stabbed with a hole in his waist. Although his internal organs were not damaged, how could he be fine when a white knife went in and a red knife came out? He said angrily:

"What are you doing standing there in a daze? This man is so bold that he commits a murder in the street. Many people from the neighborhood are present. Do you still want to bend the law for personal gain?"

When Zuo Lingquan heard that he was being arrested, he thought about how to avoid the Prince Consort election.

Not only did he not give in, he raised his knife and pointed it at Cui Shanying, acting like a rebellious knight:

"You try to catch me?"

"Hey, young hero, you..."

The police and the people were anxious.

Cui Shanying's stomach was bleeding profusely, and she was blatantly threatened. She was so angry that her veins bulged, and she urged the police with a sword:

"Let me take it down. Do you want to watch him hack me to death in the street?"

Although the police officers were grateful to Zuo Lingquan for his generous help, what they did at this moment was too much, so they could only turn their blades and signal Zuo Lingquan not to resist, otherwise it would not end well.

Zuo Lingquan had no intention of resisting. He put away his official sword and prepared to capture him without mercy.

But at this critical moment, a voice suddenly came from the street:

"stop!"

Everyone turned around and saw dozens of guards running quickly from the street. In front of them was a carriage with a wooden sign with the word 'left' hanging on it.

The capital is at the feet of the emperor, and princes and generals can be seen everywhere. The policemen recognized this carriage as that of Zuo Hanchou, the minister of rites.

The Minister of Rites was a third-rank official, not considered top-notch in the capital, but in front of ordinary police officers, he was a genuine important official in the court.

Seeing this, Lao Zhang and Fangzheng quickly signaled the people to move away and raised their hands to salute to greet them.

Zuo Lingquan sighed secretly, knowing that there was no chance of hiding in the bureau for two days.

The carriage stopped on a street full of ruins. The curtains of the carriage were opened, and a kind and wealthy middle-aged man walked out. He was wearing a purple official robe and a silver fish bag hanging on his waist. He was none other than Zuo Hanchou, the minister of the Ministry of Rites. Zuo Lingquan's biological father's younger brother.

After Zuo Hanchou got out of the car, he glanced at the crowded street and saw Zuo Lingquan standing in the middle of the street holding a knife, and Cui Shanying standing on the carriage covered in blood. Her expression changed slightly, knowing that her nephew was causing trouble.

No matter what the matter is, the place must be cleared first, otherwise it will be difficult to operate in full view of the public.

Before Zuo Hanchou said hello, he looked at the crowd around him and said in a straight voice:

"How can we let people gather in the streets when ferocious beasts are causing chaos? What will the arrest department do? Let everyone disperse."

Many police officers took the order and quickly dispersed the surrounding people who were watching.

When Cui Shanying saw Zuo Hanchou coming out to clear the place, he guessed that the young ranger was related to him. The anger on his face subsided slightly and he said displeasedly:

"Secretary Zuo, it is not a trivial matter for this man to attack a court official in the street."

Zuo Hanchou got off the carriage, walked to Cui Shanying with his robe, raised his eyes, showed admiration on his face, and praised:

"Brother Cui is really brave. He sacrificed his life to protect the people of Linhefang in order to get rid of the vicious beasts and was seriously injured. He is truly a pillar of the country. I will definitely report this matter to the emperor tomorrow and ask for credit for Brother Cui."

Today there was a flaw in Zhan Gang Dao, and Cui Shanying was already in the wrong, but if she was really unreasonable and refused to let others go to court, she would probably end up getting fifty blows from each of them in the end.

When Cui Shanying saw what Zuo Lingquan said, she couldn't be shameless, so she immediately prepared to pay some compensation by ignoring the faults of the villain.

Zuo Lingquan, who was just standing on the street, wanted to go to jail for two days in order to avoid the Prince Consort election the day after tomorrow. At this time, he said seriously:

"Third Uncle, I was the one who stabbed you. I think Cui is telling lies, so..."

"Lingquan!!"

Zuo Hanchou was almost angry to death by these words.

Cui Shanying's face was ashen, and a lot of blood oozed from her stomach. She raised her sword and pointed it at Zuo Lingquan, obviously wanting to curse.

After Zuo Hanchou glared at his nephew, he turned to Cui Shanying and said with a smile:

"Ling Quan is young and his words cannot be taken seriously. I dare to ask Brother Cui, what happened just now?"

While speaking, Zuo Hanchou blinked.

Cui Shanying was so angry that he wanted to stab Zuo Lingquan to death with two swords, but he couldn't see him with his head down or up in the capital. It would be bad for everyone if he hurt his harmony, and the medical expenses would definitely be greatly reduced.

Cui Shanying gritted his teeth for a long time, finally put away his sword and said coldly:

"Just now, I accidentally slipped while killing the ferocious beast and fell on the tip of Ling Quan's nephew's knife, which made Mr. Zuo laugh. Farewell."

Hua Luo jumped off the sedan chair, turned around and left.

Zuo Hanchou's eyes were full of smiles, he raised his hands and said respectfully:

"Brother Cui, go slowly and take good care of yourself. Japanese officials will definitely come to visit you in person."

Cui Shanying held her stomach and disappeared into the rain without saying a word.

After Zuo Hanchou eliminated Cui Shanying with his tactics, he turned around and looked at the many agents:

"Just now Master Cui made it very clear. Today, you will work together with Ling Quan and Master Cui to eliminate the ferocious beasts and protect the people. I will definitely report to the Holy One. The imperial court will not treat the heroes who sacrificed their lives for the country badly. Please take care of them." All the good peripherals are gone.”

"Thank you, sir!"

Naturally, the police officers present did not say much. After raising their hands and saluting, they began to collect the remains...

-----

At night.

In Donghua City, the bursts of thunder did not affect the hustle and bustle in the city. Music and singing were prosperous in the land of romance, and restaurants and tea shops were crowded with people.

On the south bank of Mingde Bridge, the residence of Zuo Hanchou, the minister, was brightly lit.

Dozens of pretty and lovely maids were hiding in the corner of the verandah, secretly glancing in the direction of the study, whispering:

"Seventh Young Master is so handsome, much more handsome than our young master..."

"Shh, let the young master hear it, I have to blow up my hair..."

The study room was dimly lit, and at the window, a young man in Tsing Yi could be seen standing with his hands behind his hands, admiring the night view of the rain hitting the banana trees in the courtyard.

In the rainy night, I could still faintly hear the words of the servant Zuo Hanchou:

"How capable! You are asked to come to the capital to be the prince-consort. The government has arranged for you not to take the boat, so you have to travel alone. Come on, come on. As soon as you arrive in the capital, you will kill people in the street. Do you think this is Qinghe County? This is the capital. , at the feet of the Emperor..."

In the study, Zuo Hanchou put on his regular clothes and walked around in front of the desk with his hands behind his back. He was full of annoyance and didn't know where to start.

Zuo Hanchou was an official in Beijing, and the journey was far away. He only went back two or three times in more than ten years.

When he met Zuo Lingquan when he was young, his impression was that he was smart and well-educated. Compared with his stupid son, he wished he could adopt Zuo Lingquan.

This time the eldest princess is looking for a consort, and Zuo Hanchou is still holding on to the wonderful hope that Zuo Chenchenquan will be a blockbuster when the young masters from various families show up.

But he didn't expect that Zuo Lingquan would give him such a big surprise as soon as he arrived in the capital.

If he had gone half a step late today, Zuo Lingquan would have been taken to prison and made a joke. Everyone would know about it tomorrow. Even if he could be fished out, who would he choose as a consort?

"You used to be such a well-behaved kid, polite and not noisy. Among the dozen or so juniors in the Zuo family, I think you have a lot of potential in the future. How are you doing now? I don't know how your father taught you..."

Zuo Hanchou kept chattering.

Zuo Lingquan stood at the window, facing his third uncle who hated him for not fighting, with an easy-going expression. After listening to the nagging for a long time, he turned around and said:

"What happened today was Cui Shanying's rudeness first. I didn't kill him, I just verified the authenticity of the Zhangang Sword."

Zuo Hanchou sat down behind the desk and patted the desk:

"To verify authenticity, you need to stab someone? The day after tomorrow, the eldest princess ordered the consort. You came to Beijing to be the consort. If you cause trouble, is it possible that the day after tomorrow, the eldest princess will go to the prison to kill you?"

Zuo Lingquan really meant this, but it was hard to say it directly in front of his elders. He sat down across from the desk, shook his head and sighed:

"Third uncle, it's not easy to be a prince-in-law. Besides, the people who come to snatch the prince-in-law are like crucian carp crossing the river. I may not be chosen."

Zuo Hanchou naturally knew that it was not easy to be a consort, especially the eldest princess's consort. He said seriously:

"Whether you choose or not is a matter for the eldest princess. It's not your or my turn to consider it. What you and I should consider is whether we want to be the one or not."

Zuo Lingquan answered neatly:

"In no mood."

"You have to think about it even if you don't want to."

Zuo Hanchou raised his finger and pointed at the towering walls of the imperial city:

"The Holy Lord is young, and the eldest princess acts as regent. To put it bluntly, the affairs of our Great Dan Dynasty are all decided by the eldest princess alone. Nowadays, according to the etiquette and law, the prince-in-law is recruited, and all the noble families in the world have sharpened their heads to enter. It’s crowded, can I not go to Zuo’s house?”

Zuo Lingquan picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "My Zuo family has some land, but it is not a wealthy family. It only has some influence in the four southern counties..."

Zuo Hanchou waved his hand, leaned on the Taishi chair, and said seriously:

"But the third uncle is an official in the capital. Now that the eldest princess is regent as a woman, she has been criticized by the clan. There are also many dissenters in the court, but who dares to speak out openly?

He is quite a prince-in-law. To put it bluntly, he is showing his loyalty and proving that he wants to get on the same boat as the eldest princess. All the civil and military princes of the whole dynasty have gone away, but my Zuo family, who claims to be noble, is dismissive of me. What does this mean? I, Zuo Hanchou, don’t like the eldest princess? "

Zuo Lingquan understood this time - it was about taking sides. He thought for a while:

"I am the seventh eldest son in the family. There are four or five unmarried young masters in the Zuo family. The fifth and sixth brothers are also unmarried. Why did you let me first..."

"Who made you handsome?"
