Imperial City, Marquis Mansion.
Liang Silong, the Marquis of Wuling, wearing a black robe, stood in front of the window and stared at an apricot blossom in the courtyard for a long time.
It wasn't until Guan Hong, the martial artist kneeling behind him, called out softly that he slowly turned around and sighed inexplicably, "Are you sure Xiao'er was at fault first?"
Guan Hong thought for a while and said, "Judging from the scene, the young Marquis did indeed invade the civilian daughter, but he was blocked midway and failed."
"It's just an attempted rape. Stop covering up for him... Don't the women in the house not be enough for this beast? He has to go out and embarrass himself!"
Wu Linghou waved his hand, with a hint of coldness in his brows, "If he were not my king's son, I'm afraid he would have been beaten to death by the people of the Great Xia Dynasty with sticks, or chopped into pieces by the guillotine at the West Market Execution Ground... ....Perhaps he could not even wait until today, the night when he first got into trouble eight years ago, he would have disappeared from this world."
Guan Hong couldn't figure out what the Marquis was thinking, so she lowered her head and didn't dare to speak.
Wu Linghou continued to speak, but his tone did not soften, but became more and more stern, "Now take my king's oral instructions to the Ministry of War to find the people of Qinhuai, and tell them that if Xu Xingmu loses a hair, I will chop his head off." . In addition, I will slap that traitor thirty times on my behalf, so that he will remember it for a long time and use more force, just don’t beat him to death... Remember, you must correct the attitude of the Marquis Mansion. This kind of ridiculous behavior that ignores the laws of Daxia will never be tolerated by this king, not even his own son will let it go!"
"With the Qinhuai people, the general will give a warning, but the general will never dare to slap the young marquis!"
Guan Hong's face was frightened and she responded hurriedly, "Young Lord Marquis has a rich body, how dare you, the general, do the following?"
"Just slap me if I ask you to!"
Wu Linghou glanced at him and said, "If you don't slap him, how will Xu Xingmu get rid of his anger?"
As soon as he said this, Guan Hong was stunned.
The reason why he came back to report to the Marquis today was not because he was afraid that Xu Xingmu would be angry!
Instead, he was worried that the young marquis would make things worse... After all, he had entered the territory of Dongcheng Bingma Division, so it would be no different if he followed the young marquis's family.
With the temper of the young marquis, Xu Xingmu is bound to die.
If he dies, once the matter becomes fermented and is exaggerated by the scholars in the Hanlin Academy, the whole capital will inevitably cause a sensation.
The Marquis Palace will also fall into a passive situation due to this incident. The Marquis, who is already suspected of being the master of the earthquake, will be impeached again, and a series of troubles will follow.
Guan Hong will never allow this to happen!
The only way now is to have the Marquis come forward in person and forcefully bring the young Marquis back, temporarily saving Xu Xingmu's life in order to stabilize the situation.
As for the young Marquis's bad breath, he can only find another opportunity in the future.
That was the plan, but according to what the Marquis said at the moment, he seemed to be very afraid of Xu Xingmu, and even sacrificed the young Marquis to calm him down. This seemed to be that he took the other party too seriously!
"Master Marquis, although Xu Xingmu has a poetry name, you won't pay so much attention to it, right?"
Guan Hong said, "If we don't kill him, it will be considered as being extremely kind to him. Why do we need to worry about whether his anger will go away?"
Wu Linghou shook his head and sighed helplessly, "It's no good if we don't pay attention to him. What if the sword master with a very bad temper gets angry when he gets angry? At that time, the sword from the north falls. It has reached the sky above the Marquis Mansion, why don't you come and block it for me?"
Guan Hong's eyes were shocked, "Master Hou, what does this have to do with Lord Sword Master? We didn't provoke him."
Wu Linghou stopped talking and waved his hand to signal him to look back.
Qin Zhan, wearing golden armor, walked out of the inner room.
Compared with his high spirits in the past, Qin Zhan at this moment was really embarrassed.
Not only were the soles of the pair of boots worn down, but even the golden armor on his body became dilapidated. You must know that it was an important defensive weapon that a third-grade weapon refiner spent half a year building. It is said that it can withstand the full strength of a third-grade warrior. hit.
But at this moment, the entire golden armor had completely lost its aura and turned into a piece of rags.
He was exhausted from his travels, and his expression no longer showed any sharpness of the past. Only an inexplicable fear and uneasiness shrouded his eyebrows. It was obvious that both his body and mind had been severely damaged.
What frightened Guan Hong the most was Qin Zhan's right hand.
The physique of a fourth-grade martial artist was originally indestructible.
But at this time, Qin Zhan's palm seemed to have been invaded by some kind of sharp weapon, so that his entire right hand was completely penetrated!
A peerless sword energy that was so sharp that it seemed to be able to completely split the world was raging in his wound.
Guan Hong could feel that the sword energy was in the process of rapidly dissolving, and perhaps it would be completely annihilated in a few breaths.
But even so, the remaining will of the sword still makes people shudder. Even if they feel it for a moment, there is a terrible feeling like the soul is being torn apart.
Guan Hong took a breath and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Brother Qin, your hands!"
"The masterpiece of the sword master...His careless sword almost ruined my entire martial arts career."
Qin Zhan's eyes were lonely and he spoke in a deep voice, "And I just wanted to bring Xu Xingmu back to the capital that night, so I made a little move. Before I even touched him, the Sword Master's sword penetrated my palm, and I suffered from the sword energy for two days and two nights. Tortured, the pain still lingers... One can imagine the consequences of such a big feud between the young Marquis and Xu Xingmu if the Sword Master knew about it, and I shouldn’t need to say more about it."
Guan Hong's face turned extremely ugly, "I didn't expect that Master Sword Master and Xu Xingmu have such a big connection! No wonder Xu Xingmu was so confident from the beginning to the end. It turns out that he has Sword Master as his backer!"
"So, Xu Xingmu's anger must be eliminated... It would be okay if we were reasonable. The problem is that when things happened to Xiao'er, we never were reasonable."
Wu Linghou threw a black token and sighed, "With this token, Xiao Er will not dare to fight back. You should leave as soon as possible. If it is later, I am afraid that Xu Xingmu will be killed by Xiao Er... ....Remember, you must let Xu Xingmu get rid of this anger, but you must also give Xiao Er a breath of air. Although I don’t want to be an enemy of the Sword Master, I don’t want a white-haired person to give away a black-haired person.”
"The last general takes command!"
Guan Hong didn't dare to delay, and left quickly after collecting the token.
To be honest, he had actually wanted to slap his own little prince for a long time, but he never had the chance.
Today, with the Marquis's oral instructions and tokens, he can finally get what he wants! I can’t wait!
After Guan Hong left, Wu Linghou glanced at the wound on Qin Zhan's palm and suddenly said, "Speaking of which, I know that the Sword Master is not easy to mess with, so I gave him enough face, and even asked his servants to slap Xiao. He slapped him in the face to calm him down... But that night in Taoyuan County, why couldn't he give me face and choose to let you go? He even threatened to fall into the Jian Marquis Mansion! He didn't treat me at all Do you take it seriously?"
Qin Zhan did not dare to speak. He sensed the rising anger of the Marquis.
At this time, staying silent is the best way to avoid anger.
The atmosphere in the room became silent.
Wu Linghou turned around and looked out the window again. Unexpectedly, a dark cloud came from the horizon and accumulated in the Houye's sight, as heavy as his mood.
...
Imperial Household Office.
Eunuch Jin is in a very bad mood today.
Half an hour ago, he had a big argument with his old partner Cao Xianxian and Eunuch Cao.
the reason is simple:
Eunuch Cao believed that Eunuch Jin knew that he wanted to draw Xu Xingmu into the camp of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but when he went to Taoyuan County to read out the imperial edict, Eunuch Jin did not help at all, and did not even mention it, causing him to miss out. A great talent.
For this reason, Eunuch Jin was scolded by Eunuch Cao for most of an hour. He was so angry that he rolled his eyes, his face trembled, and he didn't recover for a long time.
In a rage, Eunuch Jin severely punished the maids and eunuchs in the House of Internal Affairs to divert his anger, but in the end he still couldn't get over his anger.
So he thought of his right-hand man, Eunuch Hai.
The other party had just approached me not long ago, saying that a blind slave had committed an offense and needed to use the evil name of Kunci Palace to make him remember.
Eunuch Jin, who wanted to beat someone up, suddenly became interested. He decided to take action himself and teach Eunuch Hai the correct use of the three hundred sets of torture instruments.
At three o'clock in the morning, Eunuch Jin went out surrounded by a group of young eunuchs.
At this time, the carriages that Liang Xiao and Eunuch Hai were riding in, as well as the prison carriage used by the Dongcheng Troops and Horses Division to escort Xu Xingmu, happened to enter the palace one after the other.
Damn fate is so clever... Just at the gate of Kunci Palace, three parties of people came from the north and the south and happened to meet up.
