There was mist in the bathroom. Xia Xun was immersed in the water, with his head resting on the edge of the pool and a towel covering his face. He looked very leisurely. His breath was long and long, and the two strong, broad, and sharp-edged
The pectoralis major muscles are like made of iron. They will rise and fall slightly after a long time, as if they have fallen asleep.
Suddenly, there was a bang on the door, and Zhang Shisan stood in front of him with a sullen face. Zhang Shisan's thin lips were pursed tightly, and his eyes staring at Xia Xun were flashing with angry flames. He was about to
Crazy.
Yesterday, he told Xia Xun that he didn't need to get up early this morning. After breakfast, he would take Xia Xun to get familiar with the personnel in the mansion and accompany him to several shops run by the Yang family in the afternoon. Unexpectedly, Xia Xun would appear again
He made his own decision and went to find some gift for King Qi early in the morning. He also asked Xiao Di to accompany him out, but he didn't know anything about it. What on earth did this boy want to do?
"He is a puppet, just a puppet! To put it bluntly, even Yang Wenxuan is actually a puppet, a person who can be sacrificed at the last moment. But at least on the surface, he needs to maintain respect for Yang Wenxuan, but
Who is Xia Xun? A person as humble as an ant has repeatedly challenged my patience! Yesterday, I let him go once, but this kid who doesn’t know the heights of the world actually goes even further!"
The anger made Zhang Shisan unable to control himself. He kept holding back his anger and waited for Xia Xun to return home. He decided that this time he would teach him a lesson no matter what.
Xia Xun slowly pulled down the towel on his face. When he saw it was him, he immediately smiled happily: "Thirteenth Lang."
Zhang Shisan said with a gloomy face: "Where did you go this morning?"
Xia Xun said hurriedly: "Oh, I just got here and I was a little excited. I couldn't sleep even if I wanted to. I got up early and suddenly remembered that I was going to Prince Qi's Mansion to celebrate my birthday recently. I asked Xiaodi casually and heard her say how many people there are in Qingzhou.
This antique jewelry store is very famous. I think... Thirteenth Lang is also very tired these days. I’m sorry for the inconvenience early in the morning, so I asked her to take her for a walk on the street, but I didn’t make any purchases without authorization.
I might have to come back to discuss something with you..."
Zhang Shisan said angrily: "Who allowed you to go out without permission? Why didn't you get my permission?"
Xia Xun was startled. Seeing the angry look on his face, he couldn't help but timidly said: "Because...because Thirteenth Lang taught me...if you want to act like one, you must really regard yourself as the master of this place. Only in this way can you
The dress was perfect, so I...just asked Xiaodi to take me..."
"Damn it! You still dare to make excuses? Since I'm here, you should ask me for advice first if you have anything to do. I don't agree. How dare you make your own decision? Xia Xun, don't get carried away after being Yang Wenxuan for two days.
Remember your identity! You are just a humble commoner. If I can lift you up, I can knock you down. If I want to punish you, I have many means to make it impossible for you to live or die!"
Xia Xun said in panic: "Thirteenth Lang, don't be angry, I...I..."
Zhang Shisan said angrily: "Get out!"
Xia Xun hurriedly stood up from the pool and took one step out.
"Suit up!"
Xia Xun hurriedly ran to the makeup box and clothes rack, opened the clothes box, and took out a thick bath towel. Zhang Shisan followed angrily and said coldly: "From now on, unless I am not around, you can adapt to changes. As long as I am
Now, no matter how big or small, you must ask for instructions. If you dare to make your own decisions, I will let you..."
Just as he said this, Xia Xun's broad shoulders sank slightly, he suddenly turned around, stretched out his right hand, and a bright cold light pierced straight into his throat.
Zhang Shisan was shocked. He never expected that Xia Xun would actually attack him, dare to attack him, and have the ability to attack him!
Caught off guard, Zhang Shisan immediately fell down and leaned back. His feet were like cast iron, his body was as straight as a board, and he tilted up like a bridge. The "iron bridge" was so wonderful that he barely avoided this fierce attack.
Stab. Originally, "Iron Banqiao" was a very clever way to avoid hidden weapons and swords, guns, swords and halberds. Once you had no time to jump up or dodge left and right, this was a life-saving technique.
This move has not yet used up all its remaining power. When the enemy withdraws his weapons and attacks again, he can jump away from his legs and escape ten feet away to counterattack. However, although his move "Iron Banqiao" is well avoided,
At the top of the mountain, Xia Xun made no move to withdraw his weapon. Seeing that the arm he thrust forward was exhausted, the white light in his hand was close to the tip of Zhang Shisan's nose, but he took advantage of his forward thrust.
The arm of the posture is only slightly raised upward, the wrist is turned, and then lowered.
"puff!"
Zhang Shisan's legs bounced, and as soon as his body left the ground, Xia Xun's raised arms had already sunk down at the same time. With a "pop", a sharp weapon penetrated into his chest and abdomen. It turned out that Xia Xun
The sharp weapon Xun held was neither a knife nor a sword, but a strange weapon with blades at both ends. What he held in his hand was not the hilt of the sword, but the middle part of the sharp weapon. Therefore, he could change it immediately with just a flip of his wrist.
The thorn is the insertion, and you can seize the opportunity in an instant.
In this moment, the outcome is decided.
Zhang Shisan groaned and fell to the ground. He was about to open his mouth and shout in horror. At this moment, Xia Xun jumped up.
In order to create this moment of opportunity, in order to ensure that this blow is sure to hit, Xia Xun has made countless assumptions and already has a plan in mind. This blow is clean and crisp, and it is a sure hit, and the various reactions that Zhang Shisan may have are also
As he expected, everyone also had a plan to deal with it. With this throw, the two of them fell heavily to the ground. Zhang Shisan's exclamation was choked in his throat. He only felt the sharp weapon piercing his body.
When it fell, the exposed part broke into several pieces and scattered everywhere.
It's just that he is now being strangled tightly by Xia Xun using a very clever grabbing technique. Not only is he unable to move, but his throat is also tightly strangled by Xia Xun's elbow, making it difficult to breathe, let alone shout.
, what exactly that strange weapon is, until now, he still has no idea.
Xia Xun's face was also a little pale, and his breathing was extremely heavy. His bare chest was close to Zhang Shisan's chest, and Zhang Shisan could hear the rapid and powerful heartbeat coming from his chest.
Xia Xun was very nervous. It was his first time to kill someone. No matter how bold a person was, he would always be nervous. But it was precisely because of his nervousness that he, who was already very strong, became even more powerful at this time. Zhang Shisankong
He was a master of martial arts, his heart was injured, and he was firmly pressed to the ground. He could neither shout nor move. He was completely under his control with one move.
Zhang Shisan's eyes were wide open. He couldn't figure out why Xia Xun wanted to kill him? Why did Xia Xun dare to kill him?
The two of them lay on their backs. After a while, Xia Xun's pale face returned to its normal rosiness after bathing, and his breathing became smoother. However, Zhang Shisan's face, which was originally frightened and angry and red as blood, began to turn pale.
…
Xia Xun's expression quickly calmed down. He looked at Zhang Shisan's eyes that were filled with pain, surprise, fear and disbelief. He slowly raised a hand, which was holding the murder weapon tightly and resisting it.
The hand on Zhang Shisan’s wound.
The hand was still shaking a little at first, but it soon became extremely stable. There was a pool of blood on his palm. The blood was light black and dripping slowly along the edge of his palm. Xia Xun looked at the blood,
Suddenly smiled...
Zhang Shisan has never seen him smile like this before, that kind of relaxed and calm smile, the confidence that he has everything under control, the shrewdness to see everything, and the aura of hidden wisdom. Vaguely, he felt that he had seen him before.
He had also seen such a smile on Master Qianshi's face.
"Thirteenth Lang, the blood is black. That means that your liver has been punctured. Even if you lie motionless and press the wound to stop the blood loss, you will only live half a column at most.
In this short time, even the gods can’t save you. If you still try to struggle, you will only die faster.”
Zhang Shisan's eyes dimmed, and he knew that Xia Xun was telling the truth. He had been working in the Jinyiwei Prison at the age of thirteen, and he had tortured prisoners in many weird ways until he got tired of it all and began to fight against simplicity.
Return to his true self and use the simplest method of torture. No one in the world knows the internal and external structure of the human body better than him. He knows that Xia Xun is not lying. He knows that he is really dead, even if all the miracle doctors in the world are called in.
, he is finished too.
But he is not willing to die like this, why? Why exactly? There is no reason! Killing me will not help his situation at all, and Mr. Feng Qi and the others are here. Does he still want to get rid of the Jin Yiwei? Besides, a country man
My dear fellow, what's wrong with having the dignified Jin Yiwei as your backer? What is the reason that makes him take such a desperate risk that he will definitely die?
Zhang Shisan has begun to feel chills. The various emotions contained in his eyes, whether it is anger, fear, or surprise, are gradually dissipating. Only doubts, which make him linger, are getting more and more...
Intense.
"You're wondering why I want to kill you, right?"
Xia Xun asked with a smile. Zhang Shisan's eyes immediately changed and turned into a desire that was almost pleading. Yes, he wanted to know why Xia Xun wanted to kill him. He couldn't think of any reason.
If he dies in doubt, he will really die with his eyes open.
Xia Xun had no reason to kill him. Think about it, he was just an illiterate countryman. Without the support of Jin Yiwei, how could he pretend to be Yang Wenxuan and continue to do so safely? Furthermore, even if he killed himself,
How does he get rid of Jin Yiwei's control? Can a commoner dare to confront Jin Yiwei? What's more, Jin Yiwei still holds the confession that he personally signed. He obediently obeys his orders, which is his only possible way out!
"I had no reason to kill you because I couldn't pretend to be Yang Wenxuan with your help and keep pretending to be Yang Wenxuan; because you have something in your hands that can make me lose my head at any time; because you came to Qingzhou to handle the case under the emperor's order
, imperial envoys, life and death, even if I am the real Yang Wenxuan, I have no ability to get rid of you; therefore, my only way out is to rely on you, please your favor, and accept your rewards. This is your opinion, right? "
Yes, this is exactly what Zhang Shisan is puzzled to understand.
Murder requires a motive. What is Xia Xun's motive? Get rid of all the insiders and completely impersonate Yang Wenxuan? Is he crazy? How many risks are involved? How could Xia Xun have the courage to take this risk? They did it according to the emperor's order
The person who came was an upright Yamen. Once the case was found out and he was rewarded based on his merits, it would be very easy to give him an identity as Xia Xun. Who wouldn't believe the promises of the court officials? Isn't this a normal person's idea?
Why would he kill people?
Also, his clean and neat killing techniques, his ability to judge the location of injuries based on the color of blood, and the way he quickly calmed down after assassinating the Jinyiwei Officer School, none of them are like that ignorant, simple, timid and cowardly person.
country boy. Who is he and what is this for?
Xia Xun said calmly: "The reason is very simple. I don't believe your lies. I didn't believe it from the beginning. You lied to me a lot and hid a lot of evil intentions towards me. From the beginning, I knew that you were against me."
I have bad intentions. If I listen to you and go with you, my final fate will be as miserable as Miss Tingxiang. Why didn’t I resist? In that small shop by the Nanyang River, when I promised to work for you, when I
When I signed and stamped my name, I made up my mind to kill you!"
"No, I believe you are the real Jin Yiwei."
Xia Xun looked at Zhang Shisan's confused eyes, as if he knew how to read minds, and gave him answers.
"Of course I don't doubt that shopkeeper Liu's official clothes and badges are fake. There can be robbers and liars in this world, but there won't be any group of robbers or liars who would whimsically pretend to be a rat on the street.
People call you the Jinyiwei who beat you, and you are officials, businessmen, powerful and rich, but you are willing to take risks and use such an ulterior status to plot against a vassal king?
What I don’t believe is: I don’t believe that you are here on orders. I don’t believe that you are here to hunt down the White Lotus cultists or the palace officials who have attached themselves to the palace to rebel. I don’t believe that you will spare my life and recruit me to join the Jinyi Guard after you succeed.
..., you have many lies and many flaws. These lies may be able to deceive others, but they cannot deceive me, Xia Xun!"
"Feng Xihui said that the Jin Yiwei had not been abolished. I believed it! After listening to his explanation, I knew that it was us common people who did not understand the affairs of the court and mistook the reduction of power for abolition. But Feng Xihui said that the Jin Yiwei had not been abolished.
The power of imperial edicts and prisons has just turned light into darkness, I don’t believe it!”
"This flaw can be said to be exposed by Mr. Feng Qi's cleverness. The second flaw was exposed because of your cleverness. And the third flaw... was exposed because of your common cleverness. Do you want to
Don’t want to know why?”
Of course, Zhang Shisan was almost going crazy thinking about it.
Xia Xun smiled hatefully and said, "But you are about to die, and my story is very long. I have the patience to tell it, but you don't have time to listen."
Zhang Shisan's chest rose and fell suddenly, and he was about to go crazy again.
