Southern Qi Fenghua Record

When Xia Houshu was in Boyunguan, his master forced him to practice meditation and Zhama step with other teachers and sisters. He suffered a lot and shed countless bitter tears, so he developed a good foundation of Kungfu.After returning home, she learned swordsmanship from Xia Houyi's master, Taoist Lingqiu, and she made rapid progress, so she thinks that her martial arts are not bad, and she is more than enough to deal with three or four local hooligans when encountering rough roads, but if she meets a real master, I was lucky enough to survive seven or eight tricks.

Obviously, the masked man behind him is not an ordinary person, and he is not so easy to deal with.

Since entering the Evergreen Gate, Xia Houshu has carried out dozens of missions, large and small, some easy and some difficult, and it is not that he has never encountered a more dangerous situation than this, but Xia Houyi always secretly helped her in the past. Protecting her well is why she can complete the task smoothly every time without any scruples, and there has never been a major mistake.However, in order to prove her ability to Xia Houyi this time, she rejected her brother's help early in the morning.At this moment, she was in the hands of others, and she couldn't do anything about it.

Seeing that Xia Houshu didn't answer his question right away, the masked man couldn't help exerting another force.

Xia Houshu clearly felt that the opponent's sharp edge made a small mark on her neck, hot liquid soaked out, collided with the metal and then solidified instantly, and the bursts of coldness instantly spread to her cerebral cortex, Made her unable to move.

In this case, it is false to say that there is no panic, but there is no escape, and there is no other choice but to face it.

Xia Houshu was born in a family of military generals who have been born for generations. He has seen many great scenes. After a series of tests, naturally he will not show his timidity easily.And it is also said in the book of war that one must be calm and calm in case of a situation, so as to be able to respond to all changes with the same.The more critical the moment, the less we should panic and lose our sense of proportion.She took a deep breath indiscriminately, tried to calm down her nervous emotions, and said calmly: "A sword has no eyes, and a strong man must be careful with his hands."

The masked man was very surprised by her reaction, and asked curiously, "Aren't you afraid?"

"Scared! Of course I'm scared!" Xia Houshu said honestly, with a very earnest expression.Then, as if to ease the atmosphere, he said recklessly, "After all, the blade is attached to my neck. If it were you, wouldn't you be afraid?"

The masked man didn't expect Xia Houshu to be joking at this time, and it was difficult to determine her real purpose for a while.He thought about it quietly for a while, as if he understood something, he suddenly snorted coldly, and said impatiently: "I think you are very calm!"

Xia Houshu originally just wanted to test the temperament of the masked man, whether he was easy to talk to, but he didn't expect that the man in the mask would actually talk to him, and the tension in his heart relaxed a little.

Being able to communicate at least shows that the other party is not a murderer without blinking an eye, and he still has a chance to escape.

Thinking of this, Xia Houshu tried to continue to distract the other party's attention, pretending to be naive and showing weakness, and said, "Can't you see that I'm faking it? If I yelled, you wouldn't let me go, would you?"

"I advise you to be more honest, otherwise, don't blame the sword without eyes!" The masked man's tone was cold and angry, not only completely unable to comprehend Xia Houshu's cold humor, but even wanted to solve the problem in front of him. troublesome guy.

Being exposed so bluntly, Xia Houshu could only curl his lips helplessly, thought for a while, and continued in another way: "Strong man, meeting is fate, you and I traveled here late at night, why don't we make friends?"

"Traveling together in the middle of the night?" The masked man seemed to have heard a joke, and then began to think quietly, as if trying to figure out the meaning of Xia Houshu's words.

"Isn't this just a coincidence?" Xia Houshu continued to pretend to be stupid and talk nonsense, "I heard that the first mansion in the capital is magnificent and picturesque, and I have long wanted to come and see it."

"Oh?" The masked man's tone was slightly playful, and his eyes were fixed on Xia Houshu's back, as if he had just noticed that the figure of the other party was smaller than that of ordinary men.Then he asked, "You mean, you're here for a walk?"

Of course not.Xia Houshu is not stupid.I wondered who would go for a walk on the roof of someone else's house in the middle of the night, and it was also the roof of a high-ranking prime minister's house.She deliberately looked disappointed, shook her head and sighed, "Brother, I guess you are also a gangster. If there are some things, it would be boring if you say it too bluntly."

"That's true." The masked man agreed, "It's just killing someone, why tell him I'm going to kill him?"

"Hey, hey!" Xia Houshu immediately protested to express his dissatisfaction, "I said that you are a good person, but you can't die if you keep your mouth shut. Isn't it better for this person to be alive than to be dead?"

"Otherwise?" The masked man cooperated with Qin Xuehao, and then slowly walked directly opposite Xia Houshu, but the injured sword did not leave her neck at all.

With the help of the moonlight, Xia Houshu finally saw clearly that the other party was the shadow he was following.It's a pity that the night was too dark, and she could only see a pair of dark, lifeless eyes from the silver curved mask.She sighed softly, not only for her own stupidity, but also for the other party's incomprehensible style.Immediately she said: "Since we are people of the same path, why should we kill each other? Why don't we make a deal?"

The masked man looked at her without saying a word, as if he was waiting for the next step.

Xia Houshu couldn't guess what he was thinking, so he could only bite the bullet and continued: "As the saying goes, there is also a way to steal. This prime minister's mansion is so big, there are all kinds of treasures, you and I take what we need, and the well water does not violate the river water. Now you Why do you have to pretend to be an upright gentleman and insist on grabbing me?"

The masked man remained unmoved.

Xia Houshu thought that this would not work, so he quickly reached out to dig out his pocket.As soon as the hand moved, the masked man exerted a force on his hand, and the feeling of the blade piercing the skin became more real.

She paused, and quickly explained: "I don't mean anything else, I'll just take something." After she finished speaking, she tentatively took out a night pearl the size of a longan that was usually used for lighting from her pocket, and waved it in front of the masked man. He shook his head, "Here, look at the shape, size and gloss. Not to mention priceless, but it is enough for me to wait for a few years to be happy and happy. If you are willing to let me go, I can give it to you."

Xia Houshu deliberately misled the other party to regard him as a thief who broke into the house.If he was a member of the Prime Minister's Mansion, there was no need to appear here sneakily in the middle of the night; if he was an enemy of the Prime Minister's Mansion, then she had nothing to do with him as a thief stealing things from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The masked man glanced at Ye Mingzhu from the corner of his eye, with some surprise in his eyes.He originally thought that Xia Houshu had hidden some hidden weapon in his pocket, so he was very careful.Immediately afterwards, she saw her take out a night pearl and said that she would give it to him in exchange for her life.This interested him very much.

Indeed, money is something outside of the body. If you lose your life, who will spend the money if you leave it behind?But his hands did not loosen, and he did not dispel his suspicion of Xia Houshu at all. He continued to say in a cold voice, "The prime minister's mansion is so heavily guarded that someone dares to attack it?"

"So what if the security is tight?" Xia Houshu made a very disdainful tone, "I heard that a favorite concubine died in the prime minister's mansion, and the things left behind are worth tens of thousands of gold. As the saying goes, people make money and birds die for food. Don't enter the tiger's den. How can I get a tiger?" Then he paused, and continued to point out, "Besides, you said that the Xiangfu is heavily guarded, but didn't you come in too? If I were you, I wouldn't meddle in these nosy things, take it Hurry up and leave this night pearl, otherwise you and I won't be able to escape."

After hearing this, the masked man probably felt that what she said was reasonable, so he began to think.

Time passed bit by bit, Xia Houshu's previous panic was gradually taken away by Night Breeze, and his consciousness became more and more clear.After rationality defeated fear, she began to think about how to find a chance to escape from his shackles.But it was obvious that the blade in the masked man's hand was too close to her neck, and she even felt a steady flow of cold liquid flowing down her neck.

In this situation, Xia Houshu still did not dare to act rashly and could only wait for an opportunity.For example, the masked man suddenly figured out to let her go, or his hands were sore...

The night was windy, and the moon hid in the clouds at some point, and then came out of the clouds after a while, sprinkled on them coldly, flickering, like playing hide-and-seek.

No one of them appreciates this beauty, they just stand in a stalemate, each with their own ghosts.

"Wo-woo-woo-ooh-"

Several fierce barkings broke the tranquility of the night, and in a short while, several large and strong dogs were seen running wildly from all the entrances of the yard, baring their teeth, like a pack of hungry wolves rushing towards their prey.

Naturally, the prey were Xia Houshu and the unidentified masked man.

I heard that in addition to loving beauties, money and power, Prime Minister Wang also loved hunting dogs. For this reason, he specially built a kennel and ordered people to raise them carefully.Every time the royal family went hunting, Prime Minister Wang would present several carefully selected hounds to the emperor to help them hunt down the prey, which won the emperor's favor.

It was rumored that the annual cost of raising a dog for Prime Minister Wang's family was enough to feed an ordinary family for ten years.When I saw it today, it really lived up to its reputation.Of course, these hounds were not only presented as gifts when the emperor hunted, but they were usually kept at home, and they were also good housekeepers.

Taking advantage of the moment when the masked man was startled, Xia Houshu dodged his sword in time, took out his dagger and slashed across his wrist.

The hunting dog is an animal with an extremely sensitive sense of smell. After smelling the smell of blood, it quickly locked on the target and rushed towards this side viciously.

The masked man let out a muffled snort. He hadn't expected Xia Houshu to be so despicable. Seeing the hounds getting closer, he didn't care about it, let alone Xia Houshu, and wanted to escape over the wall in a hurry.

Xia Houshu finally got rid of his shackles, how could he give him this chance.He simply kept on doing nothing, and suddenly attacked him with a palm from behind, pushing him into the pack of dogs.

Looking at the masked man surrounded by seven or eight vicious dogs, Xia Houshu took the opportunity to hold his breath, kicked his feet, and jumped up the high wall.Outside the wall is a quiet alley, and there are no guards at this time.Then she breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head and smiled brightly at the masked man, shook the Ye Mingzhu in her hand, and said triumphantly: "I told you a long time ago to accept it as soon as you see it, don't worry about it, but you just don't listen. My money is empty. I think these vicious dogs like you very much, so you can play with them slowly, and I will take my leave first!"

After saying "there will be no future", Xia Houshu jumped off the high wall, and then patted the dust that did not exist on his body, only to hear a tragic dog barking from inside the wall.

Tonight, it is estimated that the Prime Minister's Mansion will have trouble sleeping all night.Xia Houshu sighed long at the moon, and returned home with regret.
