Chapter 32 - Crossbow

Chapter 32: Horizontal Knife

"Mr., it has been discovered that Xiao Heng lives in Xuanpingfang in the south. The owner of the yard is a merchant in the east city. Xiao Heng has only three people in his family. His parents are not in Chang'an. He has a wife and a son, and his youngest son is still in his infancy. There are no slaves." Fang Yuzhong bowed at Xue Chongxun's door and reported to him, checking the details of the handsome man he met in the water clouds.

After hearing this, Xue Chongxun thought about the bad things he was about to do, and a feeling of excitement and expectation came out in his heart. He thought to himself, am I really a person without love... His inner pleasure is like the wind blowing towards him when he fell into the abyss of hell, how can it be so cool?

He tried hard to suppress the indulgence in his heart, and said calmly on the surface: "I understand. If you go and call Sanniang, let's go over there. It's not good if there are too many people."

"Yes, my husband." Fang Yuzhong bowed his fists and went to do his job.

After a while, Fang Yuzhong and Sanniang came over. When Xue Chongxun saw that Sanniang was wearing a tight-fitting suit and a curtain hat on her head. A black gauze was hanging down in front of the curtain hat covering her face.

Seeing this, Xue Chongxun said, "The female hero is so charming. You can change your usual clothes when you get back and get in the crowd, and you won't be noticed by others."

So Sanniang reluctantly went back to the room to change her clothes, took off the hat on her head, put on her head, and put on the lapel. She covered her eyebrows with her palms, looked up at the sky, and said, "The sunshine is too strong."

Ordinary people like sunny days and white clouds. Does she like gray weather? Anyway, Xue Chongxun doesn't like the feeling of depression that is covered with dark clouds and low sky.

Xue Chongxun looked at Sanniang. Her skin was as pale as ever, but her lips were red and delicate. Her face was cold, just like a female corpse that had just come out of the coffin... Her face was so easy to be noticed by people in any clothes she wore. She liked to cover a black gauze scarf in front of her, probably like sunglasses in later generations, which could prevent the light from being so bright.

"Forget it, let's go." Xue Chongxun didn't want to care too much about this detail. He had just taken two steps, and suddenly remembered something and turned around and asked, "By the way, when Li Shouyi came to the mansion to search that day, you said something to tell me, "Time was too urgent at that time, so I'll tell you to say it later. What is that sentence?"

A hint of shyness flashed in Sanniang's dark and deep eyes, but then disappeared. She said casually: "It's not important, I want to thank Lang Jun for his completeness."

"Oh." Xue Chongxun turned around and continued to walk outside. Sanniang and Fang Yuzhong followed behind.

It was Pang Er who drove the car, and the three of them got on a large felt truck together. The felt truck was covered tightly and the light inside was very dark. Sanniang seemed to breathe a sigh of relief after entering. Only in the darkness can she feel at ease.

Fang Yuzhong pointed out the route for Pang Er through a car wall. The felt truck went out from the gate of Fang south of Anyifang, then crossed a street and entered Xuanpingfang. After a while, Pang Er knocked on the carriage and said, "Langjun, you're here."

Xue Chongxun jumped out of the carriage and looked around. He saw that there was an alley with bluestone pavement. The walls on both sides were relatively high and narrow, so that the sunlight on the west side could not shine in, making it cold and moss growing on the walls.

It had just rained a few days ago. The alley was probably drying slowly because of the short sunlight exposure time. There was mud hidden under the loose stone slabs. If you accidentally step on such loose stone slabs, the slab will splash a stream of mud and dirty the hem of the robe. Xue Chongxun stepped on it twice in a row, and the hem was dirty. He couldn't help but scold "Fuck".

At this time, Fang Yuzhong pointed to a wooden door and said, "It's this family."

Xue Chongxun was not in a hurry to ask someone to knock on the door. He buried his head around, then walked to the wall, picked up a few stones and put them in his purse. He smiled wickedly, and then carried the purse in his hand.

...Xiao Heng in the room was frowning. His left hand was wrapped with gauze, and the smell of medicinal wine was filled with. He used his only movable right hand to find something under the cabinet, and asked, "Where is my pot of wine?"

A young woman shaking the basket immediately whispered: "If you get hurt like that, you still have to drink? Don't you want hands?" The young woman is Xiao Heng's first wife, Dou. Her round face still looks like a little girl. A woman in the Tang Dynasty married early. Dou was not old and was a teenager, but her hairstyle and dress were dressed like a married woman. Her child was sleeping sweetly in the basket next to her, and the child looked less than one year old. A woman in the breastfeeding period had very full breasts. Dou's breasts, which were full of milk, looked very inconsistent with her petite body.

At this time, Xiao Heng frowned and said, "I'm upset."

Dou complained: "Every day, you either spend money or spend time at home. If you have more time, you can go to Liu's house to have a lot of time. It is serious to get an errand earlier."

Xiao Heng said: "I don't spend money on my life, can I be filial to Xianggong Liu? Can I pass the Jinshi? A woman with no knowledge! You just care about taking care of my husband and children, what do I do?"

Dou said unconvincedly: "You are so capable, why didn't you kill that fairy? Your fingers are still made like this, so it's not embarrassing."

"Damn, how could I know that I can save me after drinking the Hedinghong? Don't mention this, I'll be annoyed when I mention it!" Xiao Heng looked angry, "And my fingers, that guy doesn't know that I am Liu Xianggong. If he knows, he wouldn't dare to touch a hair of me with a hundred courage... Forget it, save you from being so idle. First, do the big things in front of you before calculating him."

Dou's tone softened a little and asked, "Since no one is killed, I shouldn't be involved in a lawsuit?"

Xiao Heng nodded and said, "The lawsuit is not a problem. The problem is that if Meng Xiaoyu tells the matter out, there are many people in the water and clouds, and unfortunately it is spread again. How can I become an official? Before the official has become an official, his reputation has become bad, and he is also a big deal! And... You can't reveal the whereabouts of that money. We can only remove our teeth and swallow it in our stomachs. If the secret is revealed and Mr. Liu is implicated, we will have a better life!"

When Dou heard him mention Meng Xiaoyu, the brothel bitch actually wanted to share a man with him. Dou was both hated and angry, and couldn't help but scold: "This kind of person is shameless. He came to our house last time. Humph, she asked for it by herself! If it weren't for the geek's perseverance, we wouldn't have caused such a big deal."

Xiao Heng glared at his wife: "I have taken out all the money I have been in my box for half my life, and I just ignore it? Are you able to swallow this?"

Dou whispered: "I don't have the brain that is as good as her!"

"A stupid woman who doesn't understand the charm!" Xiao Heng cursed.

Dou was furious and stood up, pointing at Xiao Heng's nose with his waist and scolded: "I don't have a slut in the kiln to help you, so why don't you marry someone to have a baby? If you dare to let such a woman come in, your father won't break your legs!"

Just then, a rapid knock on the door sounded outside.

Dou didn't care about his anger and immediately became nervous: "It's not that the official officer came to the door, right?"

Xiao Heng said, "Crow's mouth! I'll go and see." He then stepped over the threshold with his robe and walked to the yard to open the gate. He saw that he was despising the black-faced boy in the water clouds.

He was about to have an attack, but Xue Chongxun rushed to say, "I'm here to apologize to Xiao Lang. If you hurt you, the cost of the medicine can no longer cost you."

Xiao Heng looked down and saw that Xue Chongxun was really holding a heavy purse in his hand. The bag contained hard goods, which might be something like gold and silver... If it was so much gold, it would not be a small amount! Even if it was white, it would be good. Xiao Heng immediately swallowed his anger and endured it first. He was missing the yellow and white things these days.

Xue Chongxun said again: "You are the one who knows you without fighting. If we hadn't misunderstood in the water and clouds, we wouldn't have the chance to know each other, right? A real man should be as broad as the sea. Xiao Lang gives him face, how can we talk about it?"

For the sake of the bag of things, Xiao Heng opened the gate of the courtyard and said, "Let's come in and talk, I want to hear who you are and how you misunderstand."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Xue Chongxun stepped into the yard with his men and women, and Pang Er was waiting outside the door in the carriage.

When Xiao Heng brought the guests into the house, Xue Chongxun gave Fang Yuzhong a wink, and Fang Yuzhong stood in the yard to let go. Xue Chongxun and Sanniang followed him in. As soon as he entered the house, he saw a woman inside, probably Xiao Heng's wife... The atmosphere in the Tang Dynasty was relatively open, but when the family members met with guests, they usually met relatives or very good friends, and they would not let the family members meet guests.

Xue Chongxun smiled and said, "I'm rude."

Xiao Heng said: "My family is not in Chang'an. This is just a temporary house, so it is not very spacious, so let's take a seat."

Xue Chongxun put the purse on the table with a "crack". He probably weighed a few pounds after hearing the sound... Dou was originally very surprised when he saw the woman behind Xue Chongxun, but soon his attention was attracted by the purse on the table. But she was embarrassed to open it in front of the guest and had to repeatedly guess in her heart whether it was gold or silver.

"I'll pour tea for the guests." Dou became enthusiastic.

Xue Chongxun hurriedly said, "You don't have to be polite, please sit down, madam." He pointed to the child in the cradle and said, "Young master or daughter?"

Dou said proudly: "Boy."

Xue Chongxun smiled and said, "What a blessing, so blessed." He stared at Dou's chest again and said, "Madam Zun's breasts are so big!"

Xiao Heng and Dou were both shocked and stunned. After a moment, Xiao Heng came to his senses, stood up from the chair with a angrily expression, said angrily: "What do you mean?"

"Shou, be careful, don't be impatient." Xue Chongxun still smiled, Ping raised his hand and waved him down, signaling him to sit down, but Xiao Heng didn't buy it, and still stood there and glared. After a moment, Xiao Heng finally realized something was wrong, so he hurriedly winked at Dou and signaled her to go out and call someone.

Dou was still surprised and didn't react. Xiao Heng tried hard for a while to no avail. He had to say to Dou, "We have something to talk about, you go out and stay first."

"You can teach me." Xue Chongxun said with a smile.

Dou was about to go out, but Sanniang was blocking her and said coldly: "Where to go? Stay!"

"I haven't used a knife for a long time, especially the horizontal knife. I actually prefer the Mo knife used in the battle formation. It's big and powerful enough." Xue Chongxun took off the horizontal knife from his waist and slowly pulled it out. The sharp metal was sharpened on the scabbard, just like heavy metal music.

The two-handed knife with narrow blades and thick ridges is exquisite in craftsmanship. Later, the Fusang samurai sword looks a bit similar to the horizontal knife, but the difference is that the horizontal knife does not have the tiny curve of the samurai sword. The weapon, the most highly praised by the Fusang people, has a very awkward origin. It is completely imitated by the Tang army's standard swords. It copied everything from style to craftsmanship... But it is not surprising, because everything in Fusang was learned from the Tang Dynasty, from architectural customs to cultural clothing, and rules and regulations.

When Dou saw the sharp and terrifying horizontal knife, he opened his mouth and wanted to scream.
