"Then what should we do?" Li Xin'an said worriedly, "Since Jiang Kuohai has also taken action, he will definitely be prepared if he fails to intercept him this time. If he kills him in the future, it will be difficult to kill him. How about tonight..."
"No need!" Zhang Siyuan said, "Jiang Kuohai is arrogant. He is not so cautious, otherwise he would not dare to fight with the sword after the man in the palace intervened. The most important thing right now is to improve your cultivation."
He turned to look at San Yu, "Mr. Pei Min hasn't taught the young master swordsmanship yet?"
"The old man has ordered three things for junior brother. Originally, he would teach him swordsmanship after the second thing was completed, but now it seems that there is no need to go to such trouble." Sanyu replied, "The old man said that if junior brother is willing,
We can practice martial arts tomorrow."
"Yes! Yes!" Li Xin'an said excitedly. He had been longing for it for a long time.
Zhang Siyuan smiled and said: "There is no rush now, young master, you have to go somewhere with me."
Li Xin'an was stunned for a moment, then nodded solemnly.
"Senior brother, Grandpa Zhang and I have left. You can take Wu Xiang and the others back."
Sanyu gave him a strange look, said nothing, waved, and went back with Helan and Wu Xiang.
Wu Xiang looked at his young master reluctantly, Zhang Siyuan glanced at him, Wu Xiang quickly lowered his head and walked away in fear.
"Let's go." Zhang Siyuan smiled.
Chang'an East, Yanxing Gate.
Not long ago, a group of Khitan people escaped from Chang'an City hiding in a dung truck. Therefore, Yanxing Gate was completely under martial law, and carriages were strictly prohibited from entering or exiting.
Perhaps it was because the inspection at Yanxing Gate was too strict. At the time when the crowds were originally huge, there were only a few people in front of Yanxing Gate in Chang'an at the moment. Most of them went to the Mingde Gate at the south gate.
The soldier guarding the door was so bored that he yawned. When he looked up again, an old man and a young man were walking in the distance.
Zhang Siyuan led Li Xin'an to the city gate, but was stopped by soldiers. An officer with a sinister face asked fiercely: "Who are you? What are you doing out of the city?"
Zhang Siyuan did not answer, but took out a token from his arms.
When the officer saw the token, his face changed drastically. He nodded and bowed hurriedly, and said flatteringly: "Oh, it turns out it's the lord of the prime minister's house. The little one is blind and doesn't know the truth. He actually blocked the lord. The little one should be beaten.
It’s time to hit!”
Zhang Siyuan didn't look at him and said calmly: "In this case, why don't you let me go?"
The officer was in a dilemma, "Um... Sir, it's not because I'm ignorant and I'm embarrassing you. I've been told here that everyone who comes in and out of Chang'an City must report it, otherwise, the people below us will suffer. Sir, you have more
I'm considerate. I'd like to take the liberty to ask you why you left the city."
"In compliance with the order of the prime minister, I will take the young master out of the city to visit friends."
The officer looked at Li Xin'an, "This is... the prime minister's young master?"
Li Xin'an's face turned pale and she gave him a sideways glance.
The officer swallowed his saliva and cursed a thousand times in his mind, but he still forced out a smile and said, "Since the young master is here, I don't dare to delay you anymore."
He turned around and said, "Let's go, let's go!"
Walking out of Chang'an City, facing the straight boulevards outside, Li Xin'an said: "Grandpa Zhang, I have already left Li Linfu, so don't say that I am his son anymore."
"But it's very useful, isn't it?" Zhang Siyuan said with a smile, "When you are in the world, you must know how to make use of the people and things around you, and don't belittle yourself, let alone think you are arrogant!"
"You don't like your father, and neither do I. But he can provide you with shelter and give Blood Clothes Hall a place to live, and that's enough."
"But he is wrong!"
"There is no right or wrong in this world, only success or failure. You also know how the Blood Clothes Hall came to be. Emperor Taizong killed his brother during the Xuanwu Gate Incident. Do you think he did the right thing? But this makes him a wise king through the ages.
Will it benefit the common people and the country?"
Li Xin'an stopped talking.
The two of them continued walking slowly, and there was no one along the way. Zhang Siyuan took him to a small road, and after about an hour, a dilapidated temple appeared in front of Li Xin'an.
The plaque on it was damaged and covered with dust and cobwebs. When Li Xin'an looked at it, he didn't recognize any of the three characters.
"This is a wild temple. I don't know which wild god is being worshiped." Zhang Siyuan said, "There is a secret passage below, which is the place where the Khitan people communicate."
"Is there any Khitan people here?"
"It's gone. The body of the Khitan wolf slave was brought here. The spies from the Blood Clothes Hall chased them but there was no trace of them. It took a long time to find the secret passage below. The secret passage is a mile long.
Due to the length of the land and the heavy rain two days ago, they were completely wiped out."
"It's a pity that they haven't taken away much of Datang's information yet."
"By the way, you brought me here because..."
Zhang Siyuan opened the door, and dust fell, "Go in."
It was also a dilapidated scene inside. A headless clay statue was half-collapsed, a large hole was exposed on the roof, and several horizontal beams fell to the ground, which had been corroded into shape.
Zhang Siyuan walked up to the clay statue and tapped his toes lightly on the base of the clay statue.
"rumble……"
The clay sculpture suddenly moved backwards
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
It moved, revealing a dark hole.
"Follow me." Zhang Siyuan walked slowly down the dark cave entrance, and Li Xin'an hurriedly followed.
"rumble……"
The clay sculpture returned to its original position, and the cave suddenly became dark.
Inside the cave was a secret passage. On the stone walls on both sides, rows of torches suddenly lit up. Under the light of the fire, Li Xin'an could clearly see the entire secret passage.
Zhang Siyuan had already walked a long way, and Li Xin'an trotted all the way to keep up. The secret passage became wider and wider, until it suddenly became clear, and what appeared in front of Li Xin'an was a huge and spacious place.
An underground river surged past Li Xin'an's feet, and he stared at this ingenious underground cave with dumbfounded eyes.
"Can this be dug out by manpower?"
"It was an underground cave that happened to be bumped into by those Khitan wolf cubs." Zhang Siyuan said.
He clapped his hands.
Li Xin'an didn't know what was going on. Sounds of piercing the air suddenly sounded, and dozens of figures flew out of the shadows and landed in front of him.
"I've met the hall master!"
Zhang Siyuan turned around and bowed to Li Xin'an, "I've met the hall master!"
Li Xin'an was at a loss. He had never seen such a scene before. He blushed and said softly after holding in his voice for a long time: "Please...please get up..."
Who is kneeling?
Among the dozen or so figures, one laughed secretly. Zhang Siyuan looked at him coldly, and the man immediately did not dare to move.
"Yang Chong, do you want to die?"
Yang Chong's expression changed and he knelt down on one knee, "Yang Chong offended the hall master, please punish him!"
Li Xin'an looked at Zhang Siyuan for help, but Zhang Siyuan's familiar voice came to her ears, "One of my own, give him thirty slaps."
Li Xin'an instantly understood what Zhang Siyuan meant.
"In the hope that you will sincerely admit your mistake, I will punish you by giving you thirty slaps."
Yang Chong gritted his teeth and slapped his face mercilessly.
After thirty slaps, Yang Chong returned to his original position honestly.
Everyone present looked at the child in front of them, and the contempt in their hearts disappeared.
Although they are Zhang Siyuan's close confidants, they still feel somewhat uncomfortable if they are asked to serve such a child in the future.
But from this point of view, this kid established his authority as soon as he arrived and even attacked Yang Chong, who had been with Zhang Siyuan for the longest time. He is really not an energy-saving lamp.
He is indeed Li Linfu’s son!
"Hall Master, go, these are the leaders of all the Blood Clothes Hall who have sworn to follow the Hall Master. There are a total of 2,276 people in the Blood Clothes Hall, and there are 1,718 people who have sworn to be loyal to the Hall Master."
"What about the rest of the people?"
"There is no one in the Blood Clothes Hall who is not loyal to the hall master."
Li Xin'an knew the fate of those people.
"Grandpa Zhang, killed more than a thousand people. Isn't it too cruel..."
Zhang Siyuan said with a smile: "How can a woman be kind enough to achieve great things?"
Li Xin'an muttered in a low voice: "But I don't want it to be a big deal..."
"If you don't kill people, people will kill you. The moment you become the blood-clothed hall master, they are destined to die."
Zhang Siyuan continued: "These people are the leaders and backbone of each branch of Xueyitang. They are absolute confidants. You can completely trust them."
He glanced at those people, and they immediately understood and stood up one by one to introduce themselves.
The first one is Yang Chong, who just offended Li Xin'an. "My subordinate Yang Chong is the head of the Tiger Hall of the Blood Clothes Hall branch, and is in the middle of the second rank."
"The Tiger Hall is the main strength of the Blood Clothes Hall. Most of its members are of the third or fourth grade. They are responsible for defending against external enemies, and are also responsible for cultivating the next generation of the Blood Clothes Hall. Uncle Fu and your mother, like you, were both the hall masters of the Tiger Hall."
Zhang Siyuan explained from the side.
"My subordinate Chi Wenbiao, the master of the Snake Hall, a branch of the Blood Clothes Hall, is in the middle of the second rank."
"The Snake Hall is the darkest force of the Blood Clothes Hall and is responsible for the assassination mission of the Blood Clothes Hall. Your grandpa and grandma and I are all from the Snake Hall."
"My subordinate Lu Da, the master of Ying Hall, a branch of Blood Clothes Hall, is the first of the second rank."
This person's strength was low. Zhang Siyuan explained: "Yingtang is responsible for spying on intelligence. There are spies in various sects in the Jianghu. They are responsible for tracking down the Khitans this time. The reason why they were able to get the news of Chu Yingsheng's assassination last time was
It’s also their credit.”
"My subordinate, Gao Sanyang, is the master of the Leopard Hall, a branch of the Blood Clothes Hall, and the first rank of the second rank."
"The Baotang is responsible for managing the major industries under the Xueyitang, and is the main source of money for the Xueyitang."
There are only four branches of the Blood Clothes Hall: Tiger, Snake, Eagle and Leopard. Next are the key leaders of each hall.
"My subordinate Sun Yuan" "My subordinate Jiang Hu" "My subordinate come down..."...
As soon as everyone came out of the queue, Zhang Siyuan would explain. Li Xin'an nodded numbly and then changed to the next one.
His neck was a little sore.
Finally, everyone was introduced, Zhang Siyuan said: "The four branches of Tiger, Snake, Eagle and Leopard used to be in the underground of Li Mansion. Now they have gradually moved out of Li Mansion and went to their respective halls. From now on, this place will be the bloody one."
A hidden contact point of the church, all four branches of the church
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
People will be left here. If you want to contact them, come here and leave a note, and they will get the news."
"Won't I stay with Xueyitang?" Li Xin'an asked in a low voice.
"Would you be willing to stay with a group of killers?" Zhang Siyuan replied in a low voice.
"Hey, you still understand me." Li Xin'an said, "But, will the future of Blood Clothes Hall still be about killing people for a living?"
Zhang Siyuan did not answer, but clapped his hands, "The hall master has said that this is the end of the day, everyone please retreat quickly!"
"Farewell, my subordinates!" Everyone clasped their fists together and then dispersed. In an instant, Zhang Siyuan and Li Xin'an were the only two people in Nuo Da's cave.
"Grandpa Zhang, what do you mean?" Li Xin'an asked puzzledly.
Zhang Siyuan waved his hand, "Don't be impatient."
Li Xin'an looked confused, but still waited obediently. After about a stick of incense, footsteps sounded again in the cave.
Two men were approaching with a stack of books in their arms.
Yang Chong and Chi Wenbiao!
"I said, old man, is there anyone who can do things like this?" Yang Chong complained, "We promised twenty slaps, but why did it become thirty?"
"I decided to go there at the spur of the moment and thought it would be better to hit a few more," Zhang Siyuan said.
Chi Wenbiao poked him and said with a smile: "That's enough, at least the old man didn't ask you to slap him fifty times."
"Everyone has left?" Zhang Siyuan asked.
"Let's go. That guy Gao Sanyang was still sneaking around the entrance of the cave for a while, which made us wait for a long time before turning back."
"What's going on?" Li Xin'an couldn't understand at all.
Yang Chong and Chi Wenbiao looked at Li Xin'an and both laughed.
"Aren't you asking whether Xueyitang will still be in the murder business in the future?" Zhang Siyuan said gently, "Now I'm here to tell you, it will be done, but not by Xueyitang, but by Tiger and Snake Ertang."
"How could this happen?" Li Xin'an was confused.
"My little hall master." Yang Chong knelt down and pinched Li Xin'an's little face, "You don't know yet, the Blood Clothes Hall has split up."
Li Xin'an clapped Yang Chong's hand in panic, and looked at Zhang Siyuan at a loss. Zhang Siyuan looked kind, but had no intention of stopping him.
"You still think that the old man will support you. Let me tell you, the old man is of no use today! I can bully you as much as I want." Yang Chong said fiercely.
Li Xin'an backed away in fear.
"That's enough. How could an uncle scare his nephew like this?"
"Uncle?" Li Xin'an said in astonishment.
Yang Chong touched his little head and said, "Yes, cousin."
"I am your mother's cousin."
Li Xin'an opened her lips, lowered her head, and said nothing.
He didn't know what to say. How could he accept the sudden appearance of an uncle?
Yang Chong sighed and stood up, "I'm sorry for making you suffer so much in the Li family."
"No...it's okay." Li Xin'an said softly, "I'm very happy to have an uncle."
"Let's get down to business." Zhang Siyuan interrupted their conversation. As a result, Yang pointed at the books in Chi Wenbiao's arms and said: "This is the list of the Blood Clothes Hall, the list of the spies of the Eagle Hall, and the list of the industries managed by the Leopard Hall.
The intelligence collected by Blood Clothes Hall in recent years, as well as the martial arts of Blood Clothes Hall."
He handed it to Li Xin'an and said with a smile, "It's time to give it to you."
Li Xin'an piled up the heavy pile and asked in confusion: "Grandpa Zhang, what did Uncle Yang mean when he said the Xueyitang family was separated?"
Zhang Siyuan said: "From now on, the Blood Clothes Hall is no longer one body. In the past, they all obeyed the orders of the hall master, and the four branches negotiated with each other. From now on, they will do their own thing and not interfere with each other."
"This is for your own good. You are still young. If the four branches are by your side, you cannot control them at all. Sooner or later, someone will have a different intention. So I simply separated them and let Hutang take charge of the other three branches.
The Snake Hall is still responsible for the murder business, but it will not be under your command. The Eagle Hall is completely hidden underground, the Leopard Hall will provide you with gold and silver, and there will be someone in the Tiger Hall to protect your safety."
"The reason why you are not allowed to command the Snake Hall is because you, the Hall Master, are too soft-hearted." Chi Wenbiao explained, "Of course, if you have enough strength in the future, the Snake Hall will naturally bow to you."
Li Xin'an shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "I just want to kill the people who deserve to be killed. If I can kill people just for money, I can't accept it. Hall Master Chi would be better off controlling the Snake Hall himself."
"In the future, if they fail you, or if you want to reunite the Blood Clothes Hall, and they don't obey your orders, tell me and I will kill them!" Yang Chong said solemnly.
Li Xin'an said lightly "Yeah".
Zhang Siyuan held his shoulders and said: "You are going to kill Jiang Kuohai. Yang Chong and Chi Wenbiao will obey your orders and you will plan the assassination."
"Me? How can I do this!"
"You can keep the blood from Xueyitang, of course." Zhang Siyuan said with a smile, "Before that, I will teach you the martial arts from Xueyitang."
"A Kung Fu specially used for assassination - the Wuji Kung Fu of Hidden Killing."
