Chapter 118 Then kill!
"Daddy!"
"Uncle Jiang!"
The familiar crisp shout is like a chirping bird, full of the vitality that a little girl should have.
Jiang Shou, who was immersed in the aura of Confucianism, came back to his senses and found that students were walking out of the academy door one after another, including Zhang Yue'er, Zhang Yunwu's daughter.
The little girl was waving vigorously towards him and Zhang Yunwu, with a smile on her face.
The little girl flew into Zhang Yunwu's arms.
To be more precise, it is the delicious food that flew into Lao Zhang’s arms.
“Little girl, your little teeth have been eaten away by bugs.” Jiang Shouzhong fondled Zhang Yueer’s round cheeks. A girl of this age has a unique baby fat, which is very cute. .
“It’s okay, I can grow new teeth anyway.”
The little girl who thought her teeth would keep growing longer was not afraid at all.
He also deliberately opened his mouth, revealing two obviously newly grown teeth, with a proud look on his face.
"It turns out that Xiao Yue'er is so powerful, let Uncle Jiang take a good look at it." Jiang Shouzhong took advantage of the opportunity of seeing his teeth to deliberately grab the snacks that the other party was holding in his arms, but was caught by a sharp-eyed man. The snack guy turned away and made a face at him.
Zhang Yunwu touched the little girl’s head with a warm smile.
While the two were playing around, several young boys walked out of the entrance of the academy. These kids looked like a small gang, surrounded by a tall, sturdy boy.
Apparently the burly boy was the leader of the gang.
Seeing Zhang Yue'er holding food in his hands, the boy's expression changed. He who originally walked majestically turned his head to the other side.
“Tch, coward!”
Zhang Yueer pouted her mouth in disdain.
She raised her head and said to Jiang Shouzhong proudly: "That guy just now is the young master of Xujia Restaurant. He is a well-known bully in the academy. Last time he spoke ill of my mother, I was so cruel to him. I beat him up and hurt his head. Now he is afraid of me.”
Hearing what Zhang Yue'er said, Jiang Shouzhong remembered that when he and Lu Renjia went to Lao Zhang's house, Wen Zhaodi happened to be teaching Xiao Yue'er a lesson with a rolling pin.
It is said that this girl broke the head of the young master of Xujia Restaurant.
If it weren't for the persuasion of the college master, the Xu family would have almost reported themselves to the government, which is why Wen Zhaodi became so angry at that time.
Jiang Shouzhong tweaked the little girl's ears and said, "You're quite impressive. When your mother beat you last time, who kept digging into my arms?"
Zhang Yueer's face changed. Red, squirming.
Jiang Shouzhong patiently warned: "You must act according to your ability in the future. As far as I know, the young master used to stay in his second uncle's escort agency and practiced some skills. If you really piss him off, it will be too late to hurt you without knowing how serious it is." . ”
“It sounds amazing, but it’s just a piece of shit, and it’s not like Sister Que’er——”
The little girl suddenly shut up when she realized that she had spilled the beans.
Jiang Shouzhong was not easy to fool. He smiled half-heartedly and said, "It turns out someone is helping you."
Zhang Yuer smiled coquettishly, and then said mysteriously: "Uncle Jiang You have to keep it a secret for me. In fact, it was a sister who helped me teach him a lesson secretly. That sister is amazing, she can-"
Just as he was speaking, Zhang Yue'er's eyes lit up, and she shouted crisply towards a girl who was walking out of the entrance of the college: "Sister Que'er!"
The girl who was about twelve or thirteen years old hesitated for a moment and left. Come over.
Zhang Yue'er, who usually searches for delicious food, generously stuffed half of the snacks in her arms into the other person's arms, and said with a bright smile: "Sister Que'er, my dad bought this for me. Yes, I'll give you some."
As she said that, the little girl turned to Jiang Shouzhong and Zhang Yunwu and introduced: "This is my best friend in the college, his name is Zhang Que'er, hehe, his name is different from mine. One word."
Zhang Yunwu said hello kindly.
Jiang Shouzhong looked at the girl in front of him who was dressed in simple clothes and had a delicate and cold appearance, and smiled and nodded.
He knows this girl named Zhang Queer.
She is the youngest daughter of Zhang Ashun from Zhangji Noodle Shop in Laiyanzi Street.
This girl also has an older sister who disappeared two years ago and was eventually found in the Beggar Clan’s Gold Sales Cave. It is said that the person was tortured so miserably that when she was found, she was still naked and pregnant, but she was already dead.
The reason Jiang Shouzhong knew this was because it was Lao Liao who was in charge of the disappearance case at the time.
When Lao Liao talked about the case while drinking that time, his expression was complicated, as if he had something to hide, but in the end he just buried his head in drinking.
Zhang Yuer introduced Jiang Shouzhong to his good friends again.
The girl politely said hello to the two of them and left.
The girl walked very slowly and steadily, and her gently swaying black hair reflected the most beautiful youthful years in the world.
Jiang Shouzhong withdrew his gaze and went back with the Zhang family and his daughter.
——
Zhang Que'er carefully stepped across a puddle and came to her noodle shop holding the snacks given by Yue'er.
Coincidentally, a familiar figure walked towards me.
Wearing a white shirt, he has an outstanding temperament and is quite handsome, but his feminine cheeks look a bit evil.
It’s Nalanye.
Zhang Que'er's water-colored eyes lit up, and a surprised smile broke out on his beautiful little face, "Brother Nalan!"
"Hey, little Que'er is back from school."
Nalan smiled evilly Say hello.
Nalanye was accompanied by a charming-looking woman, the black grape Ah Qing. When she saw the energetic girl, her eyes lit up and a smile appeared on her face, but with a bit of pity.
Looking at the snacks in the girl's arms, Nalanye joked: "Eat so much, be careful and no one will gain weight."
The girl looked shy and whispered: "Then I won't eat."
"This girl, I'm just talking."
Nalan, who looks handsome and somewhat feminine He smiled evilly, took out two boxes of rouge and handed them to the girl, "You were not here last time, so I happened to meet him this time. This little gift has an owner."
Seeing the girl's hesitation, Nalan Xie said softly: "You are twelve years old, and it is time to dress up. I like to see a pretty little bird."
Zhang Queer blushed and closed her eyes. Rouge.
Looking at the passionate girl who lowered her head and did not dare to look at him, Nalan Xie raised the corners of his mouth. In a trance, the figure of a sister who looked similar to the girl appeared in front of his eyes. He subconsciously reached out to touch her face.
"Brother Nalan, where is Brother Shi?"
Zhang Queer asked curiously, not seeing the figure that often followed him.
Nalan Xie stretched out his hand and touched his nose, and said helplessly: "You must be dead."
The girl was stunned.
Nalan Xie laughed loudly and tapped the girl's forehead, "I'm scaring you, he went back to his hometown."
Zhang Queer breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go, I still have official duties to attend to. I'll buy you some new clothes next time."
Nalanye waved his hand, turned and left.
“Brother Nalan!”
The girl suddenly called him, with a hint of expectation in her soft eyes, "On the third day of the third year of junior high school, I want to go to my sister's grave. Can you accompany me?"
Nalanye was startled. , then I remembered that the third day of the lunar month was the death anniversary of this girl’s sister.
Looking at the girl's slender figure, he suddenly thought that if he could do this in front of her sister's grave... her sister would definitely be comforted by the spring.
Nalan Xie raised the corner of his mouth, "Okay."
Watching the man walk away, Zhang Queer turned around and entered the noodle shop.
The girl returned to her room with snacks and Rouge, ignoring her father's shouts on the way.
Close the door and put the snack aside.
Then the girl opened the window and threw the two boxes of rouge out. Zhang Queer walked to the basin and scrubbed the area where the other person had just touched his forehead, as if to clean away all the dirt, and even bloodshot streaks appeared on his white forehead.
The girl looked up at the bloodshot face in the mirror, her eyes red and filled with deep hatred.
"I will kill you!"
"I will definitely kill you to avenge my sister!!"
Pa!
The mirror was smashed.
In the mirror, the girl’s ferocious face shattered into pieces.
Just like her heart full of hatred.
After calming down for a long time, suppressing the anger and hatred in his heart, Zhang Queer ignored the blood on his hand cut by the mirror, walked to the dark old dressing table, opened the dark drawer inside, and took out a Just a small bottle.
The bottle is only about the size of a fingernail and is slightly transparent. You can see some dense and strange red gas flowing inside.
Evil spirit!
She accidentally discovered this bottle of evil spirit from Zhang Yue'er's stuffed doll.
Zhang Yue'er's doll had been cut into two parts, and the little girl was very distressed. But at that time, there was a funeral at home, so she didn't dare to ask her very tired mother to help repair it.
After seeing this, Zhang Queer took the initiative to help repair it with needle and thread, and found this bottle of evil spirit.
Thanks to the fact that when Nalan Xie was handling cases in the past, she would sometimes bring the collected demonic energy to the noodle shop, so she could recognize it. It is said that evil spirit can not only cure diseases, but also improve cultivation.
So Zhang Queer hid secretly.
She firmly believed that this thing would help her kill Nalanye.
Zhang Queer stared at himself cut into countless pieces in the mirror, his pupils gradually darkened and spread, with scarlet mist rising, "Nalanye, the third day of the third lunar month is your death anniversary!"
——
In the quiet courtyard with green bricks and gray tiles, a woman with elegant and light makeup is leisurely pruning a white magnolia. The beauty is like the scenery, the scenery is also picturesque, and the charm is natural. .
Yan Changqing entered the small courtyard, sat on the steps and said lightly: "I thought you had left the capital."
Li Guanshi said in a lazy tone: "I was going to leave, but I noticed that The capital is about to get lively, and I don’t want to miss the show.”
"Recently, I have sensed several unfathomable auras lurking in the capital. Do you think Yelu Shenye, the top master of Yan Rong, is among them?" Yan Changqing asked.
Since ancient times, the ranking of the world's masters has been controversial.
Some people are just famous and seek fame, some are reclusive, and some deliberately hide their strength... But the most controversial ones are the masters from the barbarian countries outside the Central Plains.
Because of the orthodox arrogance of the Central Plains and some official restrictions, no matter whether it is the wild list or the main list, among the top ten masters in the world, only Yelu Shenye of Yanrong is on the list. Ranked sixth, even occasionally placed at the end, the others are all continental monks.
In the words of a certain official, the world under heaven is a continent, and all the masters in the world are from the continent. How can the barbarians be proud of themselves?
Therefore, many ordinary people in Dazhou and even some people in the world, apart from knowing that Yan Rong has Yelu Shenye, have never heard of other masters, and think that Yan Rong is just such a master.
But those who have truly cultivated to a certain level, after understanding the inside story, never dare to underestimate those masters of the world in Yan Rong.
The reason why Yelu Shenye is on the list is because this guy broke into the palace four times to assassinate the emperor. The last time he was only eleven steps away from the emperor, just one step away from him, and he was able to use the unstoppable power of gods and ghosts. The famous stunt "Ten steps and one kill".
Zhao Wuxiu resolved the crisis all four times.
However, Yelu Shenye was able to escape intact, which is enough to prove his cultivation level.
Therefore, in the minds of experts like Yan Changqing, Yelu Shenye's cultivation level is definitely comparable to that of Zhao Wuxiu.
In addition, when the Empress Dowager Xiao of Yanrong was in power, she vigorously searched for and collected martial arts from the Central Plains and other countries, specially built a thirteen-story martial arts pavilion, and spent a lot of effort cultivating martial arts loyal to the court. Nowadays, no one dares to underestimate Yanrong’s other masters.
"I don't care whether Yelu Shenye comes to the capital or not. What should be worried about is the emperor in the capital."
Li Guanshi's tone was full of gloating, he tilted his head and smiled, " To be precise, what we should be worried about is whether we can protect the prince. After the royal family worships their ancestors on New Year's Eve, the prince will stay at the Star Observation Tower of Qintian Prison to fully integrate Haotian's destiny. If anything goes wrong during this period, it will affect the continent. The fate of the country is not a good thing."
Seeing Yan Changqing silently holding the wine gourd, Li Guanshi patted the catkins and smiled brightly, as if the room was full of flowers. "It's rare for Brother Sword Demon to come to my little sister to reminisce. How about I buy you a drink at a pub?”
Yan Changqing took out a small jade hairpin sword.
Li Guanshi's beautiful eyes narrowed, and then he praised: "As expected of a sword demon, he can even repair the natal sword."
Yan Changqing looked directly at the woman, "This natal sword is your apprentice Ye Zhuchan. Yes, when I went to Qujiang Binghu to repair it with the Millennium Divine Stone Cold Vein, I discovered that there was a trace of evil hidden in it."
"Then what?"
Li Guanshi's face was still there. He was smiling, but his eyes were filled with coldness.
Yan Changqing said lightly: "It is difficult for ordinary people to detect it. Even if they notice it, they will think it is caused by ordinary magic. But only I know that this wisp of magic is unique to the legendary "Shura Clan". Everyone in this clan has demon blood. , once possessed by the devil, he will become a murderous and ruthless person.
It is said that the ancestor of Shura once created two great magic arts, one of which is the "Heavenly Demon Technique". The nine-tailed demon fox in the previous dynasty brought disaster to the country and the people. After practicing this technique, he confuses all living beings, and even staged a drama on the top of the Forbidden City, where he defeated ten thousand armies with one person."
Li Guanshi raised his hand and swept away a few locks of hair hanging down from his temples. He turned around and pruned the flowers and grass again, with an indifferent tone, "So you think Ye Zhuchan is from the Shura tribe?"
"I'm not sure, so I came to you to ask for the answer."
Yan Changqing said .
Li Guanshi gently blew off a petal on his hand and said with a smile: "The reason why I accepted her as my apprentice was because I thought she was very talented. I didn't bother to delve into her life experience. As for the Shura clan you mentioned, what? My little sister doesn’t know anything about the magic of heaven.”
Yan Changqing asked again, “Then do you think Ye Zhuchan is dead or not?”
“Who knows?” Li Guanshi said with a smile. It doesn’t matter to me anymore, the relationship between master and disciple is over.”
When Yan Changqing couldn’t ask anything, he stopped staying and left the courtyard.
Click!
The newly pruned branches were cut by the woman's scissors.
Li Guanshi looked at the dusty flower branches on the ground and murmured: "Why bother, Chan'er."
......
Bringing Xia He back home, Jiang Shouzhong I found that the yard had been cleaned again. The man couldn't help but wonder if there was a broomstick falling from the world specifically to sweep his yard.
Jiang Shouzhong opened the door and suddenly stopped in his tracks.
There was a dart stuck on the table!
Xia He's expression changed and he immediately checked the surroundings, but did not find any hidden aura nearby.
“Don’t move!”
Seeing Jiang Shouzhong going to touch the darts, Xia He quickly stopped him for fear that the darts were poisonous, but it was still a step too late.
Jiang Shouzhong pulled out the dart and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I am immune to all poisons."
"Bragging."
Xia He rolled his eyes, carefully checked the dart, and then felt relieved after confirming that it was not contaminated with poison.
A small bamboo tube is tied to the root of the dart.
It is very similar to those used by many intelligence agencies when flying pigeons are used to convey messages.
Jiang Shouzhong opened the bamboo tube and found a rolled up note inside. After unfolding, there were only a few words on the note, which looked particularly scrawled:
"On the third day of the lunar month, on the northern slope of Wuyun Mountain outside the capital, kill Nalanxie!"
Jiang Shouzhong looked stunned and couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
He walked out of the room and looked around, gently clenched the note, and secretly wondered: "Is it a trap set by the people from Xichu Hall for me? Or is it that other enemies of Nalanye are planning to Cooperate with me? But how did he know that I wanted to kill Nalanye?"
Jiang Shouzhong was wary.
He read the contents on the paper again and was speechless for a long time.
However, on second thought, this might be a good opportunity. After all, he now has Meng Niang secretly protecting him. Even if he is in danger, at least his life is guaranteed to be safe.
Back in the house, Jiang Shouzhong took out his notebook and sketched. I sorted through the clues collected recently and tried to figure out who was most likely to cooperate with him. Unfortunately, it was difficult to find any clues.
Until evening, Jiang Shouzhong finally made up his mind and decided to give it a try.
After all, there is not much time left for him. As the protection period disappears, it will be even harder to kill the opponent.
Jiang Shouzhong slowly clenched his fist with cold eyes, "Then kill!"
