Chapter 541: The identity is exposed, it turns out that you are Zhao Duan! (5k)
On the same night, the capital, the imperial palace.
In the empress's bedroom.
Xu Zhenguan sat cross-legged on the bed, her long legs like white pythons were exposed to the air unscrupulously.
"Hu——" She opened her eyes, ended her visualization tonight, and her brows frowned.
"Are you still not?"
During this period, she took time to enter the "Human World" to practice, but what made her puzzled was that the "chapter" disappeared.
No matter how hard she tried, she could not find the other person. That encounter was like a dream and could not be continued.
"Why? Am I still not meeting the conditions to open this scroll of practice? The last chapter appeared just because the "disaster star" passed over the sky and it was opened by chance?"
"But I can't reappear the disaster star... No, it shouldn't be so. I must have ignored something. The appearance of chapters must have to satisfy some special situations. Therefore, only that time was encountered, and everything returned to its original state."
Xu Zhenguan frowned and began to recall how the difference was the time when the chapter appeared.
After thinking about it, apart from the arrival of the "disaster star", I have to say that it is special, and only Zhao Duan suddenly returns...
"Your Majesty?" Suddenly, the voice of a female official came from outside the bedroom.
The empress finished thinking, her eyes shining through the gauze draped from the compartment, looking at the figure reflected in the door:
"What's the matter?"
The female official said, "Ma Duke Ma sent a note to the palace. It should have been placed in the study room, but Your Majesty, you have ordered before that if there is a note to be delivered, it will be delivered even late at night, so..."
Xu Zhenguan became serious and placed two white and smooth long legs from the quilt on the ground. He pulled his shoes with his jade feet, walked over the curtain, walked to the door, and opened the door with both hands.
"Your Majesty..."
The female official lowered her head and presented the note with both hands.
Xu Zhenguan took it, opened the reading, his eyes slowly showed anger, and he sneered:
"What a group of people eating outside!"
There are several clues on the list, involving some officials in the court who are suspected of colluding with the anti-king.
Most of them are officials under the "Qingliu Party".
After Li Yanfu fell, the Li party was liquidated and the court was greatly changed. Yuan Li's Qingliu party was affected very little.
But how could such a large Qingliu Party lack subjects who collude with rebels?
Xu Zhenguan had sent Ma Yan to investigate secretly before, and now he has some insights.
But this group of people was hiding very deeply, and Ma Yan had only just touched the tip of the iceberg.
"I understand, tell Ma Yan that everything will be the same." The empress suppressed her anger, closed the note "sp" and gave her orders calmly.
The clue on the fold is just a big cat, two or three, and rashly arresting it will only alert the snake. Therefore, she ordered Ma Yan to continue to investigate secretly.
"It's a pity that most of the ministers in the court are unreliable. Ma Yan is more loyal, but not cunning. The officials in the japanese imperial examinations, such as Haitang, have no choice but to investigate the case, and have less trade-offs and less wisdom to deal with the complex situation in the temple."
The empress sighed and couldn't help looking south.
If the little imperial guards were there, this might be as simple as eating and drinking water for him?
...
...
"What did you do here before?"
Zhao Duan's eyes suddenly became dangerous. He had a smile on his face, but the muscles under his robe were tense. If there was anything abnormal about the girl in front of him, he would not mind killing him.
Du Shishi said unaware of the danger approaching and said unhappily:
"You paid for your meal at my house. But you didn't come back tonight. You heated up your meal twice. You asked me what I'm here to make?"
Zhao Duan: “…”
The tense atmosphere suddenly soothed, and he smiled: "I've been eating outside today and I've been delaying my time."
Du Shi stared at him with a bad look:
"It doesn't matter if you run around bravely. If you involve my family, don't blame me for driving you out."
After saying that, the girl who had walked around the gate of hell without knowing that she had walked around with a small lantern turned around and left.
After Zhao Duan washed his feet, he wiped them clean with a rag, and read a book in the room again until it was dark and he blew out the lamp.
The room suddenly became dark, and a shadow flowed in from the cracks in the window, standing up in the corner, condensed into a figure.
"What's the situation?" Zhao Duan asked calmly.
Song Jinxi said:
"Report to my lord, everything goes well. Tonight we hunted five ordinary military inspectors and escaped unscrupulously. Hongye and the scholar were also very rigorous in their work, leaving no traces."
Zhao Duan said lightly:
"It's meaningless. After today, Zhao Shixiong will definitely be searched in the whole city. Yexiang Gate cannot escape, so you will cut off your connection with Yexiang Gate tonight."
Song Jinxi nodded: "As for your order. Sir, what tasks will you have next?"
Zhao Duan took out the two prepared letters from his arms and handed them to him:
"The first letter has been sealed. If you hand it over to Feng Xiaolian, you will ask him to fulfill the transaction with me. The second letter is opened and contains your next task."
After a pause, he said:
"According to normal logic, after we assassinate, we will lie dormant and hide. But I insist on doing the opposite. Zhao Shixiong? War is very powerful? I have to try his best to see who wins and loses."
Song Jinxi felt a little excited. He didn't know Zhao Duan's specific plan, but realized that "King of Yan Zhao" had already begun to plot against others.
No... Perhaps, from the moment he stepped into Yongjia City, Zhao Shixiong had fallen into his own chess game.
...
The next morning.
cloudy day.
The whole mansion seemed to be shrouded in an uneasy atmosphere.
At the Du family's dining table, Zhao Duan and his landlord were having breakfast, and they found that the couple were worried.
"Is something happened?" Zhao Duan asked curiously.
The middle-aged and down-and-out Du Ruhui sighed and explained:
"I heard the wind this morning. A big man died in the city last night. In the middle of the night, Yunfu soldiers walked through the streets and alleys. It seemed that there were masters from the court lurking in the city."
He sighed. Although he had great ambitions, as a scholar who was powerless to tie a chicken, he was unable to compete with the general trend and just wanted to survive and protect the family.
The turmoil in the city was undoubtedly something he didn't want to see.
Du's wife also changed her tough appearance and couldn't hide her nervousness. She looked at her cowardly husband whom she looked down upon:
"What should we do? Will it be affected?"
Du Ruhui frowned and said:
"The family has enough food. Close the door and don't go out. Our house is close to the official residence. Even the rebels will not do anything recklessly."
He said to Zhao Duan again: "If the young master doesn't matter, it's best not to go out."
Zhao Duan nodded: "Thank you for your reminder, I will not leave today."
Du Xiaobao was heartless and the girl sitting aside looked at him from time to time, but said nothing.
At noon that day, news of the officers and soldiers searching from door to door came from the neighbors.
It is said that the Xiacheng District was the first to be searched. Today, there are rebels everywhere on the streets, and I am afraid that tens of thousands of people are searching. According to this situation, it will be the turn of Shangcheng District soon.
As expected, about the evening, Zhao Duan passed through the fence between the two houses again and had a meal in Du's house.
"Bang bang bang bang!" A slap sound came from the courtyard gate, and someone shouted arrogantly:
"The government army searched for spies and opened the door to check the rounds!"
In the hall, five people were stunned at the same time.
The fierce wife Du's face showed a strong uneasiness and looked at her husband nervously:
"Master..."
Du Ruhui stood up calmly, swept away his wife's image of being strictly controlled, and said to his wife:
"Take your daughter and Xiaobao to the bedroom."
Zhao Duan got up and was about to walk to the house he rented.
But Du Ruhui glanced at him and said:
"You are my tenant, so you can ask me how you can ask me."
Yet... Zhao Duan stopped.
Du Ruhui stepped forward and opened the door bolt, opened the courtyard door with both hands. Outside, there was a team of about ten rebels, all wearing leather armor and steel knives hanging on their waists.
The leader is arrogant and proud, with triangular eyes, and looks like a small flag official.
"I have met Jun Ye, I don't know what happened?" Du Ruhui smiled politely.
The little flag official said with a cold face and was not good at it: "Why are there only two people in screening for spies? Come and find all the people!"
The soldiers behind him rushed in like wolves and tigers.
Du Ruhui's face changed, and he hurriedly took out a purse in pain and handed it over:
"My husband Sun of the government office is a good friend... I pass on poetry and books and have no spies."
The little flag official glanced at him, took the purse, and snorted coldly:
"Don't do this, this time the boss gave a death order, no one can do it."
Soon, Du's wife was also taken out with her two children.
When the little flag officer saw Du Shishi, his eyes lit up and his hair was a little straight.
Du Ruhui hurriedly took out his household registration booklet to prove his identity.
"Well...what are you?" Xiaoqiguan looked through the booklet, looked down at Zhao Duan.
"I am a tenant from the Du family and rented the yard next door." Zhao Duan looked nervous and presented his road signing certificate with both hands:
"This is the identity of a young student..."
The little flag official turned cold, knocked Lu Yin down, stepped on the ground, waved:
"There is an order from above, but not a local person. Young men will be taken back for review and take the person away!"
Immediately, soldiers controlled Zhao Duan, one left and one right.
The little flag official rubbed his chin, smiled and said:
"He is your tenant, and you have to come to me for review. It's you." He pointed to Du Shishi.
Du Ruhui's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly stepped forward: "I am the head of the household, I can go..."
But the rebel soldiers rushed up strongly and pulled Du Shishi out.
"Let go of my daughter!" The fierce wife Du was anxious and stepped forward to stop her, but was kicked to the ground by the little flag official.
Du Xiaobao was frightened. The naughty child's round face turned red and he rushed towards the other party with a scream. What threat can the naughty child, who is only as tall as the waist of the rebels, pose?
Seeing the little flag official grinning and trying to draw his sword, Du Ruhui rushed over and pulled Du Xiaobao back, and squeezed out a smile:
"The child is rude... Jun Ye, don't worry about it..."
The little flag official looked at him jokingly, laughed, put away his knife and waved his hand, and a group of people pressed Zhao Duan and Du Shishi to leave.
After the person left, the smile on Du Ruhui's face disappeared bit by bit, his hands were tightly clamped, and his nails were almost tightened.
"Master...daughter..." Du's wife got up with pain.
Du Ruhui turned around and said expressionlessly:
"You bring the little treasure at home, don't open the door if anyone comes. If someone wants to break in, go to Aunt Li's house to hide!"
After saying that, he raised his head and smiled bitterly. He resigned early to avoid disaster, but he still couldn't escape it.
Du Ruhui went back to the house and found the only money left in the house. After thinking about it, he put a knife in the kitchen and walked out of the yard with a gloomy face, and headed straight for the government office.
He wants to find someone to clear the relationship immediately and take out his daughter in time, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.
...
The sun sets west, but the smoke in the city tonight is much less.
This rebel escorted Zhao Duan, searched several alleys, captured three people, got together, returned to the direction of the yamen in the center of the city, and tried to escort the servants.
Zhao Duan was tied with cow rubber bands and walked on the street. He saw the city full of solemnity and other teams escorted some people to walk.
Most of them are young men, and some women are also there.
Obviously, Zhao Shixiong was not only searching for Zhao Duan, but also other shadow guards.
No...the arrest of this scale cannot really catch me, but is investigating us, forcing the spies in the city to make a passive state of escape...
Zhao Duan thought to himself, turned his head to look at Du Shishi beside him, and whispered:
"You don't seem to be afraid?"
Du Shi was tied up with his hands, and several people were tied up by ropes, like grasshoppers on a rope.
The girl's pretty face was cold and her eyes were slightly cold. She stared at the swaying flag officer in front of her and said softly:
"Give me ten taels of silver and take you away safely."
Zhao Duan looked at her in surprise:
"Are you crazy? This is a team of soldiers. There are more around you, you can come here at any time. But your temper of asking for money reminds me of an old friend... Well, he is also a girl, younger than you, and it is very reliable to collect money and do things."
Du Shi didn't listen to his longing and whispered:
"I'm very reliable too. If you don't nod, the price will be increased later."
She knew very well that once she was taken into the barracks, what was waiting for her, so she had to escape on the road.
Zhao Duan nodded and said, "Okay, deal."
At this time, there were no other teams on the surrounding streets, only one was walking.
Du Shishi suddenly said "Ouch" and fell to the ground. Several rebels turned their heads and looked at them. They saw the girl pear blossoms with rain, biting her lips, falling to the ground, looking at them pitifully, with her voice shy and timid, making people want to feel pity:
"June, I...want..."
...Good acting skills... Zhao Duan lost a thumbs up.
"What do you think?" Xiaoqi Guan's heart was melted and he bent down with a smile.
Du Shishi's tied hands suddenly pulled down the cloth rope belt!
"Dang!"
A small old bell hidden on the hem of her dress was pulled down, and the bell made a dull sound in the evening glow.
"Dang!Dang!Dang!Dang!Dang!Dang!!"
The bell sounded on its own, and the strange bell sound spread a circle of ripples, covering the surroundings three feet.
Du Shishi said disgustedly: "Unlock the rope."
The ten rebels had their eyes blank and were confused, as if they were hypnotized, and they really untied the rope for her.
Zhao Duan was stunned for a moment, realizing that this was the method of the wild warlock girl, and the bells on her waist seemed to affect a person's mind.
He also pretended to be confused and motionless.
"Unlock it for him." Du Shishi regained his freedom, rubbed his wrists that were strangled, and issued an order to release Zhao Duan.
Then he said, "All of you will forget the existence of the two of us and don't remember to catch us at all."
After giving this order, the girl pressed the shaking old square bell with one hand, and grabbed Zhao Duan and ran to the nearby alley.
As long as this group of people forget to catch them, they can avoid this danger.
However, just as the two were about to escape, a cold voice suddenly sounded:
"I really caught a fish."
Du Shishi looked in horror and saw a black-faced military officer wearing a strong and stern stern on the roof of a nearby house.
A piece of talisman paper was stuck on the military officer. At this moment, the talisman paper kept flashing, resisting the hypnosis of the lower sound waves.
"Clang!" The black-faced military officer drew his sword and unsheathed his hair, bent his knees, jumped high, and slashed the long sword down, killing Du!
Du Shi was in horror and wanted to avoid it, but found that for some reason, he could not move!
Even if you try hard to activate the bell, it will not affect the other party!
Is it an ambush? No...
Du Shishi's eyes finally showed fear and despair!
She once thought she was very powerful, but until she really faced the military masters, she realized the gap between wild warlocks and court military officers!
At this moment, Zhao Duan, who was holding one hand, was no longer "chaotic" in her eyes, and she swept the officer who was culprit with cold and indifferent eyes.
His right hand was lightly slapped, spread his five fingers and pressed them calmly.
"Bang!"
Amid the dull collision, Zhao Duan pressed the officer's heart protection mirror with one hand, and the hard heart protection mirror instantly sank!
The officer's body also "bowed" to a close. With the sound of "cracking" bone cracks, the mortal martial artist was beaten to death by Zhao Duan.
When the corpse fell, there was still a deep understanding in his eyes!
"The bell is very good, but the strain is too poor. If I were you, I would hypnotize the soldiers behind me to resist."
Zhao Duan commented casually, turned around, made a gesture with one hand, and a illusory flame rose between his eyebrows.
The rebels' internal organs, still in a hypnosis state, were ignited by white flames, and they died without even screaming, bleeding from their seven orifices.
This is a magic that Pei Niannu taught him at the time, and it has not been used for a long time.
"You are..." Du Shishi looked at him in shock, his brain temporarily fell into a state of downtime.
"I'll get to know each other again. My name is Zhao Duan." Zhao Duan took off his disguise and returned to his original appearance. He smiled at her and said:
"Sorry, it will affect you all the time, but even if I am not here, they are here, you will be in trouble sooner or later if you just hide.
I would like to give you a suggestion, go home immediately and take Lao Du and the others with you, and your family will go to Baihe Teahouse in the north of the city. If you can arrive safely, someone will arrange for you to go out of the city to Linfeng.
The court is short of people. Your father is good and has something in his belly. Sun Xiaozhun should like him. ”
After saying that, Zhao Duan walked towards the government office, and the last ray of afterglow fell in the sky.
Another dark night has arrived in Yongjia City.
Zhao Duan...is the famous Zhao Duan?
The traitor... the favorite minister around the emperor? !
Have you lived under the same roof with such a big man these days?
Du Shishi stood blankly at the corner of the street, looking at Zhao Duan's figure about to disappear into the darkness, and suddenly shouted:
"There is a military camp over there! Danger!"
Zhao Duan did not look back, but just waved his hand.
Military camp?
What he was going to was the military camp.
"I originally planned to use the trick, but I was arrested and thrown into prison to cause trouble... But it doesn't matter now... Haha, Zhao Shixiong, can you think that I didn't plan to continue lurking in the city. Killing the supervisor is just a prelude to muddy the water in this pool? And the real action is tonight?"
Zhao Duan's right hand hangs around his waist, and his sword slid into his palm, killing a small group of rebels coming towards him.
The night has arrived, and there is a wind tonight, and the wind blows the bloody smell.
Zhao Duan jumped up to a ridge, stood on the eaves of the bracket, and the dark clouds cracked above his head, revealing a bright moon.
He looked at the government office in the distance and the Yongjia River in the north farther away.
"At this time, Yuan Feng, Lang Shiba, Jiyue and others should lead their troops to cross the river and attack here."
"And Song Jinxi, scholars, Hongye and others should take advantage of the chaos to release those who are loyal to the court and detained in prison."
"The members of the gang controlled by Yexiang Sect will ignite a fire."
"And I..."
Zhao Duan walked through the night like a ghost, and finally jumped into the second floor room of a closed shop.
He didn't light the light, but just took out the silver scroll and shook it lightly.
A worn-out small door panel suddenly expanded and enlarged. The door panel was inlaid with animal-shaped copper rings, rivets one by one, and the pattern of burning lilac flowers was depicted in gold paint.
【Liangshengmen】
Zhao Duan recalled the name of this door panel.
This thing was obtained by him in the treasure house of bewitching real people. He didn't pay much attention at that time and just felt strange.
Later, after research, I learned that as long as I walk through the door, within a certain period of time, no matter where I go, I can return to my original place in an instant.
Because it is too precious and cannot be used several times, he was not willing to use it when he killed Wang Qi.
At this moment, Zhao Duan pushed open the "two lives gates" and took one step forward!
