Chapter 25: The Ax and the Candle

Chapter 25 Sharp Ax and Dark Candle

Yuan Xiu and Ren Jinlong entered the Longxin Pavilion, but they saw that the interior was filled with incense and dimly lit by green candles. Several palace maids had tired eyes and were either lying on the ground or falling asleep. Yuan Xiu pointed at these palace maids and said: "Asshole

You don't serve your father properly but you sleep here secretly. You really deserve to be beaten!"

Ren Jinlong shook his head and said: "Keep your voice down, don't disturb them!"

Even so, several palace maids woke up immediately. When they saw Yuan Xiu hurriedly kneeling down, they looked frightened. Yuan Xiu shouted in a low voice: "You damn ladies, you are not on duty here, but you secretly

Go to sleep! I will drive you out of the palace tomorrow!"

The palace maid was so frightened that she kowtowed repeatedly and begged for mercy in a low voice. Ren Jinlong said: "Why are you scaring them? Let them go down and sleep well!"

Yuan Xiu said: "If Xiaosi hadn't interceded, how could I have spared you so easily! Why don't you get down quickly!"

Several palace maids immediately stood up and trotted out of Longxin Pavilion. They ran cleanly in an instant. Only Yuan Xiu and Ren Jinlong were in the huge pavilion.

Yuan Xiu shook his head, feeling drunk. He suddenly felt lightheaded. He tried hard to restrain himself and said incoherently: "Fourth brother, my father is inside, I will take you to see him..."

"As he said this, he suddenly felt weak and fell to the ground, unable to get up again.

Ren Jinlong laughed and said, "Look how drunk you are! It's really funny!" He walked slowly inside and saw a large carved sandalwood bed standing behind the yellow dragon embroidered tent. There was a person sleeping soundly on the bed, with a haggard face and high cheekbones.

The tightly closed eyes were full of pain. He clenched his hands tightly across his chest, holding a sharp ax in his hand!

Ren Jinlong couldn't help but froze in astonishment for a moment. For some reason, he felt pain in his head again. Wave after wave of pain kept coming to his forehead, as if it was going to explode. At this time, the sound of the third watch drum was beating outside the window, and everything was silent. On the bed

However, the person suddenly woke up and saw a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes standing in front of the bed under the flickering candlelight, looking at him with wide eyes and eyes. He couldn't help but screamed in horror and sat up.

Ren Jinlong's eyes flashed with strange light, and he looked coldly at the person on the bed, and remained silent for a long time. The person on the bed stared at Ren Jinlong, with an extremely frightened expression on his face, and said in a trembling voice: "Is it the second brother?"

At this time, Ren Jinlong's mind was as hazy as mist, and he felt that the scene in front of him was like a dream, as if he had experienced it before. The large carved bed, the cotton paper window slats, the unicorn copper incense burner and the gilt mermaid lamp placed on the ground next to it.

They are all so familiar, as if they were in a dream yesterday. I can't help but have my pupils bloodshot and stiff. Looking at the man in yellow robe on the bed, the anger, disdain, suspicion and fear in his eyes are intertwined and overlapping, just like the quiet candlelight in this room.

The fire flickered erratically, but it was extremely terrifying. Suddenly, a pain that penetrated the bone marrow came over me. I screamed and fell to the ground.

The man in yellow robe on the bed looked at Ren Jinlong in horror. He was already dumbfounded. It took him a long time to come back to his senses and saw him fainting on the ground. He got off the dragon bed tremblingly and came to him with a ceremonial ax in his hand, gritting his teeth.

Guan, a fierce light suddenly appeared in his eyes, he raised his ax and struck at Ren Jinlong's head.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, which made Zhao Guangyi tremble all over, and the sharp ax fell to the ground immediately. Yuan Xiu stumbled forward, hugged Zhao Guangyi, and asked in shock: "Father, Emperor!"

,what you do?"

Zhao Guangyi's face was ashen, he pointed at Ren Jinlong and said: "He... who is he?"

Yuan Xiu said: "This is the young man I told you about!"

"Young strange man?" Zhao Guangyi looked at Ren Jinlong who was still unconscious in confusion. The more he looked at him, the more frightened he became, and he said eagerly, "He...he is your second uncle!"

Yuan Xiu looked at Zhao Guangyi with wide eyes and said in surprise: "Father, what did you say?"

Zhao Guangyi said: "This man is Zhao Kuangyin! Look at him, he looks exactly like your second uncle when he was young!"

Yuan Xiu looked at Ren Jinlong steadily, and saw that his eyes were tightly closed, his brows were furrowed, and his face was full of anger. After looking at it carefully, he suddenly exclaimed, feeling that the young man in front of him was really the same as him.

His second uncle, Zhao Kuangyin, looked exactly the same. He couldn't help but sit down on the ground with a groan, and his drunkenness immediately dissipated. At this time, Ren Jinlong woke up leisurely, looked at the stunned father and son, and said as if gibbering: "On the couch,

Side, how can you allow others to snore and sleep! Zhao Jiong, do you know your guilt?"

When Zhao Guangyi and Yuan Xiu heard this, they were immediately frightened to death. Yuan Xiu bravely muttered: "Father, what is going on? What is he talking about?"

Zhao Guangyi murmured: "Brother is here to claim his life, brother is here to claim his life!" Suddenly a fierce light flashed in his eyes, he grabbed the ax and rushed towards Ren Jinlong!

At this moment, the light and shadow suddenly appeared, and a small snow-white beast jumped in the air, knocked him to the ground, and then flew down next to Ren Jinlong. He turned back and bared his teeth at Zhao Guangyi, looking fierce. Zhao Guangyi was already at this time.

He was so frightened that he fell to the ground and couldn't help bursting into tears. He cried loudly: "Second brother, brother, third brother, I'm sorry for you!"

After crying for a while, Ren Jinlong slowly opened his eyes and looked at the scene in front of him in ignorance. He saw Yuan Xiu sitting on the ground like a fool, with a man in a yellow robe lying in front of him, crying loudly to him.

.Rubbed his forehead and said to Yuan Xiu: "Brother, what's going on?"

Yuan Xiu said in a trembling voice: "You just... you just..."

Ren Jinlong said blankly: "What happened to me just now?"

Zhao Guangyi stared at him blankly, with huge beads of sweat flowing down his face. He stood up and hid behind the dragon bed. Yuan Xiu's mind changed quickly, and he immediately stood up, grabbed Ren Jinlong, and left, saying: "Xiao Si

Brother, you drank too much, go back and rest quickly!"

Ren Jinlong felt top-heavy after being pulled by him, and followed him out of Longxin Pavilion. When Zhao Guangyi saw him leaving, he collapsed to the ground with a plop. He felt as if he was suffocating as if a big stone was pressing on his chest, and his clothes were wet.

Suddenly, there was a deep chill, and the sharp ax beside him was still sharp, shining with a clear light.

After a while, Yuan Xiu quickly turned back and saw that he was still prostrate on the ground. He hurriedly ran over to help him up and said anxiously: "Father, what is going on?"

Zhao Guangyi did not answer, his chest rose and fell sharply, and his face was bloodless. After a long time, he slowly said: "I was scared to death!"

Yuan Xiu asked anxiously: "Father, why did you react like this when you saw him?"

Zhao Guangyi said: "Don't you think he looks like your second uncle?"

Yuan Xiu hesitated and then said: "This young man has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he has a good appearance. At first I didn't think he looked like my second uncle, but after you reminded me, I felt that he did look a bit like him."

"More than a little bit similar? He is exactly the same as your second uncle when he was young!" Zhao Guangyi gasped, "Dechang, where did you know him from?"

Yuan Xiu said: "I told you, on an unknown barren mountain, he was born in the Song Dynasty, but grew up in Khitan."

Zhao Guangyi said in surprise: "Growing up in Khitan? Didn't he tell you who his parents were?"

Yuan Xiu shook his head: "He said that he was an orphan who was picked up by his adoptive father from the Central Plains and brought to Khitan to raise him."

"Then he didn't tell you who his adoptive father was?"

Yuan Xiu shook his head again and said: "He didn't say it, and I didn't ask. But I know that he and the Khitan Queen Mother Xiao Chuo have a deep hatred!"

"Oh?" Zhao Guangyi opened his eyes wide and stared at Yuan Xiu, "Then what's going on?"

Yuan Xiu then repeated what he had said to him when he was drinking with Ren Jinlong in the side hall, and then said: "I saw that he hated Xiao Chuo so much, so I thought about how to subdue him and let him serve me as the great Song Dynasty.

Efficacy. Father, you don’t know that this young man has amazing magical power, and he can indeed be called a capable person! His wind and thunder thorn can kill people invisible. Not only does he have extraordinary magical power, but he also has a pet beast, White Jade.

Roar, if such people are in front of the two armies, even if Brother Yelu Xiu and Xiao Dalin come together, they can be killed in an instant!"

Zhao Guangyi suddenly grabbed the ax next to him and said fiercely: "This person cannot be kept, he must be eliminated!"

Yuan Xiu was shocked and said in confusion: "Father, why are you doing this?"

Zhao Guangyi did not answer, his face was uncertain, he thought for a long time, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Where are the forbidden troops? Where are the forbidden troops?"

Within a moment, there was the sound of chaotic footsteps outside the palace, and more than a dozen Imperial Guards armed with swords rushed into the palace. When they saw Zhao Guangyi's appearance, they were so frightened that they immediately knelt down and greeted him in unison. Zhao Guangyi calmed down, and this time

Then he said: "Where is Wang Jien? Send the message to Wang Jizhong quickly!"

One of the Imperial Guards replied: "Your Majesty, Wang Yuhou (official title) was on duty last night and went back this afternoon. He should be resting in Zhaowu Hall now."

Zhao Guangyi said angrily: "Why are you talking to me about this? Go find him!"

Seeing that Zhao Guangyi was angry for no reason, the Imperial Guards were so frightened that they got up from the ground and trotted backwards out of Longxin Pavilion. Yuan Xiu said anxiously: "Father, why are you doing this?"

Zhao Guangyi said with a livid face: "Stop talking! I have made up my mind! This person must be eliminated!"

Seeing that he was so angry, Yuan Xiu did not dare to say any more. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, dusted off the dust on his body, stood up and said, "Father, please leave me!"

Unexpectedly, just after taking a few steps, Zhao Guangyi said from behind: "Dechang, I know that you love talents as much as your life, but I must get rid of this young man! Don't ruin this important event for me!"

Yuan Xiu's thoughts were exposed by him, and he couldn't help but hesitate. He hesitated for a moment, and seemed to be in a dilemma. Finally he let out a long sigh, leaned against the wall, and sighed slightly. At this time, the fourth watch had passed, and the sky was as dark as the bottom of a pot. Looking from a distance

In the direction of the side hall, Yuan Xiu felt uneasy and in a state of confusion.

Ren Jinlong was sent back to the side hall by Yuan Xiu. He lay on the bed with his clothes on and soon fell asleep. When he was sleeping soundly, he suddenly heard a loud banging outside the door. He opened his eyes in a daze and saw several figures.

Ten guards with swords rushed into the hall. The leader was a white-faced fat man with no beard under his chin. He held a gleaming steel knife in his hand. He shouted and chopped it down at him.

Ren Jinlong was still awake at this time, and before he could understand what was going on, he saw that the steel knife had been slashed across his shoulder. At the critical moment, a small beast suddenly rushed over from the side, flew towards the man, and opened his mouth to attack

He bit his wrist. But the man's martial arts skills were not weak. He stepped back in panic and shook his arms with all his strength. As soon as Xiao Wu's four claws touched his armor, he was thrown out. At this time, Ren Jinlong

With half-open eyes, he jumped to the ground with bare feet and punched the man in the chest.

The fat white man had just shaken Xiao Wu away when he saw Ren Jinlong's fist coming towards his face. He was so frightened that he retreated hastily. However, although he was fast, Ren Jinlong was faster than him. He had already rushed to him with a slight movement and raised his head.

He came and kicked him from the door to the outside.

The fat white man screamed and knocked into seven or eight imperial guards behind him. Everyone fell outside together, rubbed their shoulders and buttocks and stood up from the ground. They all looked at the still sleepy young man in surprise, with expressions of disbelief.

.

Ren Jinlong walked slowly to the door, looked at the guards, and said blankly: "What are you going to do?"

Fatty Bai picked up the steel knife on the ground, pointed it at him and shouted: "Thief, stop talking nonsense! Grandpa is here to take your life today!"

Ren Jinlong said in surprise: "Why do you want to kill me?"

Fatty Bai was silent for a moment and thought to himself: Why should I kill you? Isn't it the emperor who wants your life? He snorted coldly and said: "Go down below and ask the Lord of Hell!" He waved his hand and said to him.

Someone shouted from behind, "Brothers, this guy is awesome, let's all come together! When you're done, let's go back to sleep!"

Ren Jinlong raised his eyebrows, and his anger gradually surged up, and he thought to himself: Why are these people so unreasonable? Are they coming to take my life in the middle of the night? Is it easy to bully me as a mistress?

When the fat white man shouted, the guards immediately surrounded Ren Jinlong, each raising their swords to greet him. Ren Jinlong's eyes were filled with fire, and murderous intent arose. He pulled out the wind and thunder thorn and held it in his hand, shouting loudly: "

You guys are so unreasonable! In this case, don’t blame my men for being ruthless!”

The wind and thunder thorn changed in the wind and turned into a golden pestle more than three feet long. It waved its arms and dazzled with radiance. Although the martial arts of those guards were not weak, they had never encountered such a magical treasure. When they looked at it, they suddenly felt strange.

Cowardly. Ren Jinlong shouted loudly, the golden pestle flew up and down, and used the Jingde Whip Technique. The golden pestle whistled in the wind, as fast as lightning, and the guards flew out from time to time, and fell to the ground with a thump.

The ground. In just a moment, no one among the dozens of guards could stand anymore. All the bones and tendons were broken, and they were rolling and wailing. It was too miserable to see. The fat white man was hit in the soft ribs with his pestle, and a bloody hole was immediately opened, and his throat was filled with sweetness.

At that time, he vomited out a mouthful of blood.

Ren Jinlong stood with his head bowed, looked around at the guards, and said coldly: "I don't know why you want to kill me? Have you ever thought about the cost of killing me?"

At this moment, a person hurriedly ran towards Ren Jinlong from the direction of Longxin Pavilion. He rushed in front of Ren Jinlong and said out of breath: "Master, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time. You should leave quickly!"
