The Grandmaster Strategist - Chapter 50

[Chapter 21 Bloody Battle on the Riverside]

On March 19, the first year of Tongtai in Southern Chu, Zhe’s valet, Li Shun, chased after him for thousands of miles and killed the assassin in Jiangdu. It was known to the whole world, and those who heard it were overwhelmed. In the following years, no one dared to take effect on Nie Jing.

Poison Hand Xie Xin’s expression changed, and he said coldly: ‘Li Shun, I also told you to serve by the side of the master, I didn’t expect you to have the courage to chase after him.

‘

Xiao Shunzi smiled slightly and said: ‘Hei Ye, although we have never been masked, I know that Prince De is surrounded by a person like you, and you also know that there is me beside the son. You assassinate the son, you are my mortal enemy, that is I’m not as good as you, and I’m here to see you off. Besides, I’m afraid you’re not as good as me.

‘

Poison Hand Xie Xin froze in his heart, his name has not been used for many years, even Prince De didn’t know it, and Xiao Shunzi didn’t expect it to be revealed, but his expression showed no trace, and said lightly: ‘Li Shun, you are also Nan Chu’s. The courtier, who has been on the side of the monarch all the year round, and has received a lot of grace. Why did you betray your family? Is it really so important to you? Even if you have a little wealth, it is not your turn. Wang Pianjia, don’t you know the truth of loyalty and righteousness?

‘

When he said this, everyone who fell on the ground looked at Xiao Shunzi with contempt.

Xiao Shunzi was neither humble nor arrogant, and said indifferently: ‘The minions are from humble backgrounds, and they are people who are beyond punishment. If you say something ugly, in the palace, even cats and dogs are more noble than us. Master Hei, you are just a killer, no Will the slaves be flattened too?

‘Speaking of this, Xiao Shunzi’s expression became solemn, and his eyes glowed even more. He said word by word: ‘There is only one person in this world, and he has never looked down on me. He regards me as a human being, not a slave. The first time we met in the middle of the world, the son is a new noble in Nanchu, and I am just a minor servant, but he values me so much. If we have been with me for several years, if there is a little hypocrisy, I would have seen through it, but the son has always been the same, treating me like a father. Like a brother, teach me to read and teach me the etiquette, and treat me like flesh and blood. In this life, only the son is worthy of my allegiance. Nanchu treats me with no kindness. The black master is righteous and blames each other. You are worthy of your heart, but is Nan Chu worthy of your son?

‘

The poisonous hand was silent, how could he not know Jiang Zhe’s credit, but in the end he was dismissed from office and sent to office, and he went to assassinate him himself, no matter what.

Xiao Shunzi did not continue to ask questions, but said coldly: ‘I know that Lord Hei has been ordered by the prince, so it is said that each is his own master. The prince doesn’t hate the prince for being ruthless, but he can’t let you survive in Southern Chu, so I’m sorry. , I want you to die today.

‘

At this moment, Qiao Yan’er, who couldn’t move, said angrily: ‘What a big breath, I don’t know how high the sky is.

‘

As soon as these words came out, even the evil hand evil heart looked at her with a strange expression. The current situation is clearly that Xiao Shunzi is on the side of these young people. If Xiao Shunzi can’t win, I am afraid that anyone will be killed. , Why did Qiao Yan’er speak like this instead?

In fact, Qiao Yan’er felt that she was wrong as soon as she said it, but she was so strong by nature that she was inexplicably caught in a plot. Xiao Shunzi’s sudden appearance saved herself and others, but made her feel dissatisfied.

Seeing that everyone’s eyes fell on her, she couldn’t help but said: ‘Why, can’t people say it?

‘

Everyone looked away to avoid laughing out loud, but Xiao Shunzi’s expression was still cold. He didn’t like Qiao Yan’er and the others. They were all enemies of the young master. It would be nice to kill them all if possible. , if it weren’t for the fact that he would definitely be known to everyone this time, so he couldn’t fall into the trap, I’m afraid he would kill these people with his own hands.

Looking at Kuzhuzi, Xiao Shunzi’s eyes became a little softer, and he said: ‘Bitter Bamboo, you should have been executed today, but my son wants someone to take it back. Since your identity has been exposed, this matter I’ll leave it to you.

‘

Ku Zhuzi didn’t laugh at him. He started looking for his flaws as soon as Xiao Shunzi appeared, but even though Xiao Shunzi just stood there simply, he couldn’t see any flaws in his whole body.

Looking at the sky, Xiao Shunzi sighed: ‘The fog has lost the building,

Yuemi Jindu is such a charming scenery, but unfortunately you can’t see it again, Lord Hei.

‘ After that, his figure was like an illusory figure, and he rushed towards the poisonous hand and evil heart, and the poisonous hand and evil heart knew that life and death were in this battle. I saw the palms and shadows intertwined, but there was no sound at all. It turned out that the palms of the two were extremely dexterous and secretive. They attacked each other with more than ten moves. The people fought fiercely, and they tumbled and rolled in the space of about zhangxu. It was dazzling to see. Although there was no sound, the murderous palm wind overflowing from the place where the two fought was getting heavier and heavier. About a hundred strokes, the figures of the two suddenly stopped and stood opposite each other. Xiao Shunzi had a cold expression, but the evil hands and evil hearts were pale, and the corset was torn, revealing several claw marks. Falling down the wind, although the two stood silently, the tension between the two became tighter and tighter like a bowstring. Finally, the evil heart couldn’t bear it any longer. .

The three girls saw it from a distance and exclaimed: ‘This is the third change in the Dafa of the disintegration of the demons. The skill has been increased tenfold. Be careful, Your Excellency.

‘

Xiao Shunzi smiled coldly and said: ‘Although the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Dafa has increased its power, it has endless troubles. It is used twice in less than two months. It seems that even if you return to Nanchu, your life will not be long.

‘

The poisonous hand evil heart said coldly: “Although your master is incomparable in intelligence, but without your protection, I am afraid that it is also a goshawk with broken wings. Although he can’t kill him this time, he took your life and also broke his arm. It’s much easier to stab in the future.

‘

Xiao Shunzi’s complexion became ashen. He didn’t expect that the evil hand was still trying to assassinate the son, and the murderous intention was even stronger in his eyes. At this time, the evil hand and evil heart had already rushed forward. This time, the situation was very different. They could only protect themselves by relying on their strange movements. After watching for a while, everyone closed their eyes, but because of the changing figures of the two, they felt dizzy.

After another moment, Xiao Shunzi suddenly took a deep breath of infuriating qi, and immediately his body was as light as a feather. Following the wind of Poison Hand Xie Xin’s palm, he retreated, suddenly rising, and then counterattacked. Blocking the attack, but unexpectedly, Xiao Shunzi’s figure turned out of thin air and fell behind him, a pale palm pressed against his back, and the poisonous hand Xie Xin only felt a femininity and cold zhenqi pouring into his body. He used all his inner strength to resist, but the infuriating qi became fiery like fire, pouring into his meridians, the poisonous hand and evil heart could not help screaming, and staggered forward and fell to the ground. Bamboo came downwind from the boat. Xiao Shunzi had already exhausted his true strength, but he seemed to be a god, and his body turned strangely to meet him. Although Kuzhuzi was the best in the world in water kung fu, his palm technique The internal strength is still far from bad. If he didn’t want to use him to isolate the possibility of escaping the Poison Hand Evil Heart by water, he would not have the opportunity to be invited to join the siege of the Poison Hand Evil Heart.

Xiao Shunzi had already defeated Kuzhuzi with just three moves and two moves. Kuzhuzi retreated to the riverside, but he was in a dilemma.

At this time, the poisonous hand Xie Xin already had strength, he reluctantly stood up and said with a wry smile: ‘Eunuch Shun is really strong in martial arts, Jiang Zhe is lucky to have such a master as a slave.

‘

Xiao Shunzi smiled lightly and said: ‘It should be said that Li Shun is lucky to be loved by your son and follow him. Now that your life is on the verge of death, I don’t know if you have any last words to tell me.

‘

Poison Hand Evil Heart naturally knew that his heart was broken, but he was just lingering on with pure power. He didn’t have a trace of fear in his heart and smiled: ‘I know what Eunuch Shun wants to ask, isn’t it who saved my life? Frankly speaking, that person is Qin Qing, and he is the murderer who shot Jiang Zhe.

‘

Xiao Shunzi said coldly: ‘Don’t you have anyone else to blame?

‘

The poisonous hand’s heart jumped, but he still said: ‘I am from Chu, why should I open my eyes for Dayong, so it is true, it is Qin Qing.

‘

Xiao Shunzi said lightly: ‘I should have used punishment to force you to tell the truth, but now your life is in an instant, that’s all, you can go live. I saw the prince under Jiuquan, please give my son my regards.

‘ After that, give a gentle salute.

The poisonous hand and evil heart slackened and fell to the ground softly. At this time, Xiao Shunzi suddenly asked: ‘Which one is better in martial arts, Pei Yun or Xiahou Yuanfeng?

‘The poisonous hand was ignorant and replied: ‘Xiahou—‘ suddenly woke up, and changed his mouth to say: ‘Xiahou Yuanfeng has never fought, I don’t know the depth.

‘

Xiao Shunzi glanced at him lightly, and said: ‘Bitter Bamboo, tell Mr. Rong and Lord Lu on behalf of my son, although the son was indebted to Nan Chu in the past, he still feels guilty when he thinks of his old relationship. No matter how ruthless Chu was, it would be strangers to meet each other on the battlefield in the future.

‘ After saying that, his figure flashed, and he was several meters away in an instant, and disappeared into the night in a moment.

Ku Zhuzi’s expression relaxed, and he stepped forward to investigate. Poison Hand Evil Heart was dead, and there was no breath anymore. With a tired smile on his face, as if he had put down a heavy burden, he picked up Poison Hand Evil Heart’s corpse and looked at the weak enemy on the ground. Knowing that if he killed them, he must have offended Li Shun greatly, so he sighed slightly, got on the boat, took the oar, and floated away.

His boat had just disappeared into the reed bushes on the other side, and the third girl from Fengyi Sect, who had the deepest skills, was already able to move. She stood up and gave everyone the secret antidote to the fragrance. Although the medicine was not symptomatic, it was also It worked, and it didn’t take long for everyone to get up.

The seventh girl exclaimed: ‘Third sister, I can’t imagine that there are such young masters in the world, even the eldest sister and the ninth sister can’t easily beat him.

‘

Although Duanmuqiu and the others looked ashamed, they all nodded in agreement.

The three girls showed a sympathetic look on their faces and said: ‘You only know that his martial arts are strong, but you don’t know the heavy price this person paid. Listening to their conversation, this person is from a eunuch, so there is only one kind of martial arts in the world that can make him so powerful. , is the long-lost Sunflower Collection, I just don’t know if he mutilated his body to practice this kind of martial arts, or he practiced this kind of martial arts after he became a eunuch. Alas, although this kind of martial arts is exquisite and profound, his temperament after practicing it It can’t help but become cruel and cruel. There is such a person in the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that it will be a big disaster after all.

‘

Although Qiao Yaner was rude just now, she was grateful for Xiao Shunzi’s life-saving grace after all, and she retorted: ‘Ming sister is too worried, since this person is here to avenge his master, then he is the number one talent in Southern Chu Jiang Zhe’s servant, although his concubine and Mr. Jiang have never been masked, but also know that he is elegant and talented, how can his servant endanger the world?

‘

The three girls sighed and said, “That’s it, the concubine is uneasy. Although this person is scary, he is only a warrior, and Jiang Zhe is an unparalleled scholar of the country. The two complement each other. I am afraid that Dayong’s court and the public will be uneasy. Mingming, if things get out of hand in the future, I am afraid that only her old man can save the situation.

‘

Everyone heard it and felt reasonable. The leader of Fengyi Sect, Qun Lun, really had far-reaching knowledge.

Everyone cherished each other and left without mentioning each other.

Although this battle did not spread to the people, there are many people in the court and the opposition. The evil hand is a master in Southern Chu. This time, he assassinated the ‘successful’ in the Yongwang mansion, and he fought thousands of miles away and escaped from Dayong. Shunzi defeated the enemy in one fell swoop and immediately became a figure in the attention of all parties. If it weren’t for his embarrassing background, he would have been qualified to challenge the throne of Dayong’s number one young master.

But at this moment, he didn’t have this knowledge yet. He thought to himself that Xiahou Yuanfeng was more suspicious, but I was afraid that the young master would not allow me to kill him.

Why don’t I kill him first, as long as no one sees it, who knows it’s me?

So Xiao Shunzi didn’t contact the people from Prince Yong’s mansion, and rushed to Chang’an day and night. In just a few days, he had already returned to Chang’an. After a little modification, he chose one night and went directly to Xiahou Yuanfeng’s mansion, knowing that today Xiahou Yuanfeng should have no errands, so he plans to go directly to the inner house to assassinate.

Who knew that just as he approached Xiahou Mansion, a figure stopped him. He was about to take action when the man lifted his hat, revealing a slightly childish face. That man was Chi Ji, the head of the Eight Horses of the Secret Camp, Xiao Shun. Zi’s face sank, and he was about to ignore it.

Chi Ji hurriedly said: ‘The subordinates have been ordered by the son to wait for Master Li here. The son said, Master Li must not be reckless, go back and see him first.

‘

Xiao Shunzi’s expression was icy cold, and he didn’t say a word, Chi Ji had to continue: ‘Young Master said, if Master Li doesn’t go back now, he won’t go back in the future.

‘

Xiao Shunzi clenched his fists. He naturally knew that Jiang Zhe would never say that casually. It seemed that he really had to go back. He glanced in the direction of Xiahou Mansion and turned away.

Chi Ji quickly pulled down her hat, and her figure quickly disappeared into the night.

He hurried back to Prince Yong’s Mansion, Xiao Shunzi didn’t wash up, he went directly to the cold garden, and seeing the newly elected guards surrounded the place, he felt a little relieved and walked into Jiang Zhe’s room, only to see him lying on the soft couch. He was in a leisurely manner, where he was reciting and reading the Book of Poetry, while Rou Lan, who had not seen him for a long time, leaned beside him and seemed to be fascinated.

Xiao Shunzi only felt that his mood was relieved all of a sudden, that’s all, if he didn’t kill Xiahou Yuanfeng now, could the young master still make him feel better? He stepped forward and gave him a deep salute. Don’t dare to act rashly.

‘

I put down the scroll, looked at Xiao Shunzi, who was busy in the dust, and said: ‘You have worked hard, sit down first, do you know why I knew that you went to Xiahou Yuanfeng’s mansion?

‘

Xiao Shunzi said suspiciously: ‘The servants are also suspicious, why does the young master know my whereabouts? Even if those who witnessed it listened to my words, they may not have time to spread it out.

‘

I smiled bitterly and said: ‘Yesterday, Xiahou Yuanfeng came to visit in person and apologized to me, saying that he did come to Hanyuan that day, but it was not him who attacked him, he just took away the evil heart, because he shot me a Arrow’s identity is noble, he didn’t dare to come forward to stop him, he just wanted to know some inside information with Poison Hand Evil Heart, but Poison Hand Evil Heart refused to say anything, and took the opportunity to escape.

‘

Xiao Shunzi was stunned, and after a while, he said: ‘Isn’t that only Li Hanyou left?

‘

I smiled lightly and said: ‘I had always suspected that the person who was stabbing was like spring water, with slender hands, and I was afraid that it was a woman. I didn’t expect Xiahou Yuanfeng to be there too, presumably there were only three people who came to assassinate that day. For the sake of Prince De, there is no need to worry about it. Xiahou Yuanfeng is the closest to the prince. Presumably the prince does not want to trouble Fengyimen for such a thing. I am afraid that Xiahou Yuanfeng was sent by the prince, but he caught up with the prince. Fengyimen had murderous intentions on me, Princess Qi hid the bow and arrow first, and Li Hanyou shot it personally, so Xiahou Yuanfeng did not shoot that day.

UU reading www.sonicmtl.com I think, if Xiahou Yuanfeng is really that archery person, I am afraid that he would have killed the evil hand and Xie Xin long ago.

It’s just that why Fengyimen wanted to kill me, could it be because of that incident.

‘

Xiao Shunzi’s expression changed, and he said: ‘Young Master, Fengyimen is eyeing you, now we have to be more careful.

‘

I shook my head lightly and said: ‘It’s okay, they won’t be able to assassinate them this time. If the sect master Fengyi is really as arrogant as in the legend, then they will not assassinate again. If they can’t deal with me through other means, their reputation will be damaged. After all, if I die now, I’m afraid everyone will know that Fengyi’s family did it. I think my safety is safe for the time being, but I have to beware of their other means. Now that I am seriously injured, I can avoid their swords. Feng pointed out that your reputation is prominent, so be careful.

‘

Xiao Shunzi nodded and said: ‘Young master is right, but slaves will be careful.

‘

I stretched my waist and said: ‘You are right, I’m tired, you can send Rou Lan back.

‘

Xiao Shunzi hurriedly said: ‘Young Master, I acted recklessly, you haven’t punished me yet?

‘

I said lazily: ‘Okay, I’ll punish you, by the way, I really want to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake, so I will punish you to buy a box of good sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus cake, the kind I used to love.

‘I was half asleep and completely unaware of what I was talking about.

Xiao Shunzi was stunned. Osmanthus cake, the most famous snack in Nanchu Jianye, how can you eat it here, even if you go back to Jianye and buy it, it is not new.

He walked out of the door in a daze. At this time, Zhou Wu, the captain of the fifty guards, came over. Seeing his strange expression, he asked: ‘Master Li, what’s the matter, but do you have any instructions?

‘

Xiao Shunzi said in distress: ‘How can I buy sweet-scented osmanthus cake?

‘ Zhou Wu was stunned and muttered: ‘Osmanthus cake.

‘Xiao Shunzi has already walked away with Rou Lan in her arms.
