Chapter 21 Bloody Battle on the Riverside

On March 19, the first year of Tongtai in the Southern Chu Dynasty, Zhe's servant Li Shun chased the assassin thousands of miles away and killed the assassin across the river. This was known to the whole world and those who heard about it were frightened. In the next few years, no one dared to take action against Nie Jing——

"History of Chu in the Southern Dynasties Biography of Jiang Suiyun"

The evil hand's expression changed, and he said coldly: 'Li Shun, I also said that you were serving the master, but I didn't expect that you would have the courage to chase me.'

Xiao Shunzi smiled slightly and said: "Master Hei, although we have never met each other, I know that there is a person like you beside Prince De, and you also know that I exist beside the young master. If you assassinate the young master, you are my mortal enemy, that is."

I'm not as good as you, but I have to come to see you off. What's more, you are probably not as good as me.'

Xie Xin's heart trembled. His name had not been used for many years. Even Prince De didn't know it. Unexpectedly, Xiao Shunzi revealed it, but there was no trace of it on his expression. He said calmly: "Li Shun, you are also from Nanchu."

My minister, you have been at your side all year round and have been deeply favored. Why did you betray your family and country? Is glory and wealth really so important to you? Even if you have some wealth, it is not your turn. You have also been in the army and accompanied you.

Wang Banjia, don’t you know the principle of loyalty?'

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

However, Xiao Shunzi was neither humble nor arrogant, and said calmly: "I am from a humble background, and I am a prisoner. To put it bluntly, in the palace, even cats and dogs are more noble than us. Master Hei, you are just a killer, no."

Have you looked down on me too?" At this point, Xiao Shunzi's expression became solemn, and his eyes shone with light. He said word by word: "There is only one person in this world who has never looked down on me. He regards me as a human being."

, not a slave. It was our first time meeting in the palace. The master is a new noble in Southern Chu. I am just a humble servant, but he values ​​me so much. We have been together for several years. If there was any hypocrisy, I would have seen through it long ago. But the master has always been

Ruyi, treat me like a father and a brother, teach me how to study and be polite, and treat me like your own flesh and blood. In this life, only the young master is worthy of my loyalty. Nanchu has no kindness towards me. Hei Ye reprimands me with great righteousness. Let me ask you one question.

,Young Master has no regrets towards Nan Chu, but can Nan Chu be worthy of Young Master?'

The evil hand was silently evil, how could he not know Jiang Zhe's contribution, but in the end he was dismissed from his official position and became an official, so he assassinated him, which could not be justified in any case.

Xiao Shunzi did not continue to press the question, but said coldly: "I know that Lord Hei was ordered by the prince, and everyone is his own master. The prince does not hate the prince for being ruthless, but he can't let you return to Nanchu alive, so I'm sorry."

,Today I want you to die in Dayong.'

At this time, Qiao Yan'er, who couldn't move, said angrily: 'What a loud tone, I don't know how high the sky is.'

As soon as these words came out, even the poisonous hands and evil hearts looked at her strangely. The current situation was obviously that Xiao Shunzi was on the side of these young people. If Xiao Shunzi couldn't win, I'm afraid any one of them would be killed.

, why did Qiao Yan'er speak like this? In fact, Qiao Yan'er felt that she had said something wrong as soon as she said the words. It's just that she was very strong by nature, so she was inexplicably plotted. Xiao Shunzi came out of the blue and saved herself and others, but instead let her

She felt dissatisfied. When she saw everyone's eyes falling on her, she couldn't help but said angrily: 'Why, can't people just talk about it?'

Everyone looked away to avoid laughing out loud, but Xiao Shunzi's expression remained cold. He didn't have a good impression of Qiao Yan'er and others. They were all the Young Master's enemies anyway, so it would be better to kill them all if possible.

, if it weren't for the fact that everyone would know about his appearance this time, so he couldn't add insult to injury, I'm afraid he would have killed these people himself.

Looking at Ku Zhuzi, Xiao Shunzi's eyes became a little softer, and he said: "Kuzhuzi, you were supposed to be executed today, but my young master has something to say and wants someone to take it back. Now that your identity has been exposed, this matter

I'll leave it to you.'

Ku Zhuzi didn't laugh at him. He started looking for flaws in Xiao Shunzi as soon as he appeared. However, although Xiao Shunzi was just standing there, there was no flaw in him at all.

Looking at the sky, Xiao Shunzi sighed: "The towers are lost in the fog, and the moon is lost in the river. It's such a charming scenery. It's a pity that Mr. Hei can no longer see it." After that, his figure turned towards the poisonous hand as if it were illusory.

Xie Xin pounced, with poisonous hands Xie Xin also knew that life and death were in this battle, so he stood up to meet him, his body shape was like an eagle spreading its wings. As soon as their bodies met, they saw their palm shadows interlaced, but there was no sound at all. It turned out that the two people's

The palm techniques are all extremely dexterous and cunning. They attack each other with more than ten moves, all of which are necessary to attack the enemy. They turn at the touch, but they don't actually touch each other. The two fight fiercely, rolling over and over within a few feet of space.

, it was dazzling to see. Although no sound could be heard, the murderous aura of the palm wind overflowing from the place where the two people met was getting stronger and stronger. After about a hundred moves like this, the two people's figures suddenly stopped and faced each other.

As they stood, Xiao Shunzi looked cold, but Xie Xin's face was livid. His bra was torn, revealing several wounds similar to claw marks. It was obvious at the first sight that he had been defeated. Although the two of them stood silently, they were still silent.

The tension between them became tighter and tighter like a bowstring. Finally, Xiexin, the poisonous hand, couldn't bear it any longer. He let out a sharp scream, his face changed several times, and blood suddenly started to bleed from all his orifices, which was terrifying.

The third girl saw it from a distance and exclaimed: 'This is the third transformation of the method of disintegrating demons. The power is increased tenfold. Please be careful.'

Xiao Shunzi smiled coldly and said: 'Although the Demon Disintegration Technique has greatly increased your power, it has endless consequences. If you use it twice in less than two months, it seems that even if you return to Nanchu, your life will be short.'

Poisonous Hand Xiexin said coldly: "Although your master is unparalleled in intelligence, without your protection, he might as well have his wings broken as a goshawk. Even though I can't kill him this time, if I take your life, I will also cut off his arm."

It will be much easier to assassinate him in the future.'

Xiao Shunzi's face turned livid. Unexpectedly, Poisonous Hand Xiexin was still planning to assassinate the young master. The murderous intent in his eyes was even stronger. At this time, Poisonous Hand Xiexin had already pounced on him. The situation was very different this time. Xiao Shunzi seemed to be beaten so that he could not fight back.

They had no power and could only protect themselves with weird body movements. Everyone looked at it for a moment and closed their eyes. Just because the figures of the two people changed, they felt dizzy. After another moment, Xiao Shunzi suddenly fell into deep sleep.

Taking a breath of true energy, he was as light as a feather. He retreated with the wind from the palm of the evil hand, suddenly rose up, and then counterattacked. The evil hand was so quick that he couldn't prevent it. He quickly used his palm to block the attack, but unexpectedly Xiao Shunzi's body shape

Unexpectedly, it turned around out of thin air and landed on his back. A pale palm pressed on his back. Xie Xin felt a soft and cold energy pouring into his body. He tried his best to resist it, but the energy was still there.

It became as blazing as fire and poured into his meridians. Poisonous Hand Xiexin couldn't help but scream, staggering forward and falling to the ground. At this moment, bitter bamboos came from the boat with the wind, and the little

Shunzi had already exhausted all his true strength, but unexpectedly, he turned around strangely to meet him as if with divine help. Although Kuzhuzi was the best in the world in water kung fu, the internal strength of this palm technique was still far behind. If it weren't for this time,

If you want to use him to isolate the possibility of the poisonous hand Xiexin's escape through the water, there will be no chance of being invited to join the siege of the poisonous hand Xiexin. Xiao Shunzi only used three moves and two moves to repel Kuzhuzi. Kuzhuzi retreated to the river, but he was in a dilemma.

, if you retreat, you will see the poisonous hand and Xiexin die, but if you attack, you will not be your opponent.

At this time, the poisonous hand and the evil heart had gained strength. He reluctantly stood up and said with a wry smile: 'Eunuch Shun is indeed very powerful in martial arts. How lucky is Jiang Zhe to have such a master as his slave.'

Xiao Shunzi smiled faintly and said: "It should be said that Li Shun is so lucky to have the love of the young master and follow him by his side. Now that your life is on the verge of death, I wonder if he has any last words to tell you."

Poison Hand Xie Xin naturally knew that his heart pulse was severed, but he was just relying on his pure skills to survive. There was no trace of fear in his heart, and he smiled and said: "I know what Eunuch Shun wants to ask. Isn't it who saved my life? I'm sorry."

To be honest, 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?’

Poisonous Hands Xiexin's heart skipped a beat, but he still said: 'I am from Chu, why should I open my eyes for Da Yong, so I am absolutely correct, I am Qin Qing.'

Xiao Shunzi said calmly: "I should have used punishment to force you to tell the truth, but now your life is at stake. That's all. You can just live. I met the prince under Jiuquan. Please send my regards to my young master."

A gift. Poison Hand Xiexin relaxed and fell to the ground. At this time, Xiao Shunzi suddenly asked: "Who has better martial arts, Pei Yun or Xiahou Yuanfeng?" Poisonous Hand Xiexin was unaware and replied: "Xiahou——

Suddenly he woke up and changed his words: "Xiahou Yuanfeng has never fought before, so I don't know the depth."

Xiao Shunzi glanced at him lightly and said: "Kuzhuzi, tell Mr. Rong and Mr. Lu on behalf of my young master, although the young master did not fail Nan Chu in the past, he still felt guilty when he thought about his old relationship. Now the young master has narrowly escaped death and is with Nan Chu."

No matter how ruthless Chu is, from now on we will be strangers when we meet on the battlefield." After saying this, his figure flashed, and in an instant he was several feet away, and disappeared into the night in a moment.

Ku Zhuzi's expression relaxed and he stepped forward to investigate. He found that the poisonous hand Xiexin was dead and there was no trace of breath anymore. He had a tired smile on his face, as if he had put down a heavy burden. He picked up the corpse of the poisonous hand Xiexin and looked at the limp enemy on the ground.

Knowing that if he killed them, he would have greatly offended Li Shun, he sighed slightly, got on the boat, took the oars, and floated away. His boat had just disappeared into the reeds on the other side, and the three girls from Fengyi Gate, who were the most powerful,

Now that she was able to move, she stood up and gave everyone the secret antidote to the incense in the door. Although the medicine was not right, it worked. It didn't take long for everyone to get up.

The seventh girl exclaimed: 'Third sister, I never thought there was such a young master in the world. Even the eldest sister and the ninth sister would not easily be able to defeat him.'

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

The third girl showed a look of compassion on her face and said: "You only know that he has great martial arts skills, but you don't know the heavy price this man paid. Listening to their conversation, this man was 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 Book. I just don’t know whether he mutilated his body to practice this kind of martial arts, or whether he practiced this kind of martial arts after becoming a eunuch. Alas, although this kind of martial arts is exquisite and profound, after practicing it, his temperament

He can't help but become vicious and cruel. If such a person exists in the world, I'm afraid it will be a big disaster in the end.'

Although Qiao Yaner had made rude remarks just now, he was grateful to Xiao Shunzi for saving his life. At this time, he retorted: "Sister Ming is too worried. Since this man came to avenge his master, then he is the number one talent in Southern Chu."

Jiang Zhe's servant, although I have never met Mr. Jiang, I know that he is magnanimous and talented. How can his servant harm the world?'

The third girl sighed: "That's why I feel uneasy. Although this man is scary, he is just a martial artist. Jiang Zhe is an unparalleled national scholar. The two of them complement each other. I am afraid that the Great Yong Dynasty will be uneasy. This time I must go back to Master."

Ming Ming, if things get out of hand in the future, I'm afraid only she can save the situation.'

After hearing this, everyone felt that it made sense. The leaders of Fengyi Sect, Qun Lun, were indeed far-sighted.

Everyone cherished each other and left without mentioning it. Although this battle has not been spread among the people, there are many people in the government and the public who know it. The poisonous hands and evil hearts are already among the few masters in Southern Chu. This time, the assassination was 'successful' in Prince Yong's Mansion.

Moreover, he traveled thousands of miles to fight and escaped from Dayong. Xiao Shunzi defeated the enemy in one fell swoop and suddenly became a figure of concern to all parties. If it were not for his embarrassing background, he would have been qualified to challenge the throne of the number one young master in Dayong. But at this moment

He didn't know this yet, and he thought to himself, Xiahou Yuanfeng is indeed the more suspected, but I'm afraid that the young master won't allow me to kill him. If I just take advantage of him, it won't make the world laugh. Why don't I kill him first?

As long as no one saw him, who would know it was me? So Xiao Shunzi did not contact the people in Prince Yong's Mansion and rushed to Chang'an day and night. Within a few days, he had returned to Chang'an. After a slight modification,

, picked one night, and went directly to Xiahou Yuanfeng's mansion. Knowing that Xiahou Yuanfeng probably had no errands today, he planned to go directly to the inner house to assassinate him. Unexpectedly, as soon as he approached Xiahou's mansion, a figure stopped him, and he was about to take action.

, the man lifted his hat, revealing a slightly childish face. That man was none other than Chi Ji, the leader of the Eight Horsemen of the secret camp. Xiao Shunzi's face darkened, and he ignored him.

Chi Ji quickly said: 'My subordinates have been ordered by the young master to wait for Mr. Li here. The young master said that Mr. Li should not be rash and go back to see him first.'

Xiao Shunzi looked cold and said nothing. Chi Ji could only continue: 'Young master said, if Mr. 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 hard in the direction of Xiahou Mansion, then turned and left.

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

Hurrying back to Prince Yong's Mansion, Xiao Shunzi rushed straight to Hanyuan without washing up. Seeing that the newly selected guards had surrounded the place, he felt a little relieved. He walked into Jiang Zhe's room and saw him lying on the soft couch.

On top, he had a leisurely demeanor and was reciting the Book of Songs there, while Rou Lan, whom he had not seen for many days, was leaning next to him and seemed to be fascinated by what he was listening to.

Xiao Shunzi only felt that his mood suddenly relaxed, that's all. Even if he didn't kill Xiahou Yuanfeng now, would the young master still let him have a better life? He stepped forward and bowed deeply, and said: "I'm back, I apologize to the young master, and I will do it in the future."

No one dares to act recklessly.'

I put down the book, looked at the dusty Xiao Shunzi, and said, 'Thank you for your hard work, please sit down first. Do you know why I knew you were going to Xiahou Yuanfeng's house?'

Xiao Shunzi said doubtfully: 'I am also suspicious. How come Master knows my whereabouts? Even if those who witnessed it listened to my words, they might not have time to spread the word.'

I smiled slightly and said: "Yesterday, Xiahou Yuanfeng came to visit me personally and apologized to me. He said that he did arrive in Hanyuan that day, but it was not him who committed the assassination. He just took away the evil intention and evil intention, because he shot me.

The arrow's person has a distinguished status, so he didn't dare to come forward to stop him. He just wanted to know some inside information with his evil hands and evil intentions, but he refused to say anything and even took the opportunity to escape.'

Xiao Shunzi was stunned, and after a while he said: ‘Then only Li Hanyou is left.’

I smiled faintly and said, "I originally suspected that the person who carried out the assassination was a woman with clear eyes and delicate hands. I didn't expect that Xiahou Yuanfeng actually admitted that he was present. I guess there must have been only three people who came to carry out the assassination that day, and his vicious hands were evil."

Coming here for Prince De's death, there is no need to worry too much. Xiahou Yuanfeng is the closest to the prince. The prince must not want to trouble Fengyimen with this kind of thing. I am afraid that Xiahou Yuanfeng was sent by the prince, but he caught up with him.

Fengyimen had a murderous intention against me. Princess Qi hid the bow and arrow first, and Li Hanyou took action personally, so Xiahou Yuanfeng did not take action that day. I thought, if Xiahou Yuanfeng was really the one who shot the arrow, he would have killed Xie Xin long ago.

Silenced. But why would Fengyi Sect want to kill me? Could it be that the incident exposed traces.'

Xiao Shunzi's expression changed, and he said: 'Sir, Fengyi Sect is targeting you, now we have to be even more careful.'

I shook my head lightly and said: 'It doesn't matter, they failed to assassinate me this time. If the master of Fengyi Sect is really as arrogant as the legend says, then they will not assassinate me 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 it was Fengyimen who did it. I think my safety can be safe for the time being, but I have to be careful of their other methods. Now that I am seriously injured, I can avoid their swords.

What Feng is pointing out is that your reputation is outstanding, so you should be careful.'

Xiao Shunzi nodded and said: 'Young Master is right, but I will be careful.'

I stretched and said, 'You are right. I'm tired. You can take Roulan back.'

Xiao Shunzi said quickly: 'Sir, I acted recklessly and you haven't punished me yet?'

I lazily said: 'Okay, I'll punish you. By the way, I really want to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake, so I'll punish you by buying a box of good sweet-scented osmanthus cake, the kind I used to love.' I was already half asleep and half awake.

, completely unaware of what I was talking about.

Xiao Shunzi was stunned. Osmanthus cake is the most famous snack in Nanchu Jianye. How can you eat it here? Even if you go back to Jianye and buy it yourself, 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 look, he asked: 'Master Li, what's wrong? Do you have any orders?'

Xiao Shunzi asked distressedly: ‘How can I buy sweet-scented osmanthus cake?’ Zhou Wu was stunned and murmured: ‘Osmanthus cake.’ But Xiao Shunzi had already walked away with Roulan in his arms.
