Holding Nie Xiaoqi's shoulders, Nie Xiaoqi looked back at Nie Wujiu in surprise. In Nie Wujiu's eyes, Nie Xiaoqi seemed to see a kind of determination, and his heart became hot. Nie Wujiu raised his sword eyebrows, gently pushed Nie Xiaoqi away, looked at the four people opposite him quietly, and said coldly: "They all hide their heads and shrink their tails! They look like rats at first glance! Although Nie is not talented, but He is also known as a man in this city. Who sent you here? There is no need to hide!"
The other party seemed to be a dead pig without boiling water, and ignored Nie Wujiu's words at all. He looked at Nie Wujiu and Nie Wujiu with cold eyes, as if they were two pieces of meat on the chopping board. The man in black who was facing Nie Wujiu and Nie Wujiu on the left side with the knife said coldly: "Only Nie Wujiu is the one above, please give me a lesson and ask him to go back and report the news!" He said to the man next to him who was holding a whip. The man in black said, not paying attention to the two people at all, as if the two people would definitely compromise with them.
Nie Xiaoqi was surprisingly calm. Looking at the appearance of these four people, he remembered that two days ago, a close relative, the Fourteenth Master, suddenly disappeared inexplicably in the fort, but no one in the fort dared to comment. As a servant of Nie Family Fort, Nie Xiaoqi understood Nie Huzi's temper better and would not allow any rumors to shake the Nie Family's prestige. Even if the Fourteenth Master really had an accident, no one would dare to talk nonsense.
Naturally, Nie Xiaoqi did not have the chance or the identity to know the specific fate of the Fourteenth Master, but he knew that the servant who served the Fourteenth Master, the brother named Laifu, had one of his hands chopped off. After escaping to the castle, he fainted and died. It is said that he has not woken up yet. Nie Xiaoqi usually had a good relationship with Laifu, but later Laifu was closely protected by the people in the fort.
Whoever is within the Nie family's sphere of influence and dares to touch the Nie family's people, it is conceivable that the other party must not be afraid of the Nie family's power. Nie Xiaoqi knew that if he fell into their hands like Laifu now, he would have the same fate as Laifu. If these people were the ones who kidnapped the Fourteenth Master, he would definitely lose his arms and legs. The legs are so light.
Now Nie Xiaoqi is somewhat glad that she listened to Xianglan's words. This Xianglan is the girl who serves Nie Sanniang. She is white, tender and slim, and she has a good reputation among the servants of Nie Family Fort. Although she is still young, she is already as good as several young ladies in the castle. The most important thing is her grandfather Nie Zhong, who was Nie Xiaoqi's first Kung Fu master. It is said that Nie Zhong and his grandfather had a very good relationship back then. Later, Nie Zhong became the head nurse of the Nie family's outer house, also because of his good martial arts.
As he got older in the past few years, and the Nie family recruited many people from the world, according to Nie Zhong's own words, he could no longer use his own tricks. He took the initiative to retire from the nursing home, and was respected by his master's family to take care of his old age at the Nie family. However, in his spare time, he would still take the initiative to teach these young children, and Nie Xiaoqi was his favorite.
Moreover, Nie Zhong encouraged Nie Xiaoqi more than once. Whenever Nie Xiaoqi was praised and rewarded by the head of the Nie family, he would make his precious granddaughter Xianglan a woman for him. Nie Xiaoqi knew that Xianglan was quite good in the eyes of the servants. It was said that there was a young master from the side branch who wanted to take Xianglan as his concubine. However, Nie Xiaoqi had never thought about these issues. Even though he was grateful to Nie Zhong, he felt a faint concern in his heart. She is indeed another figure, and she usually treats Xianglan like a younger sister.
Growing up in Nie's family since he was a child, he regarded all these familiar faces and people near or far as his relatives. Nie Zhong was very kind to himself. When he was young, he often hung out with Nie Xiaoqi's grandfather, and even traveled with the old man. He was later called the Iron-Armed Mantis by people who were familiar with him in Daozhou City. That was because it was said that he knew a set of Mantis Fist and had a pair of strong arms. When he was young, it was said that the most impressive thing about these arms was that he could bend a tree trunk as thick as a bowl with a wave of his arms.
Nie Xiaoqi started practicing kung fu relatively late. As a servant, if Nie Huzi hadn't wanted to strengthen the Nie family's power, he might not have had the opportunity to learn with everyone. Of course, he is also very smart. He will watch his masters practice when he is serving, and he will follow the instructions from memory when he takes a rest. Even if he works hard, he does not have a dedicated master, and he usually has to serve others, so naturally it is impossible. learn a lot. However, Nie Zhong saw Nie Xiaoqi's hardship, so he followed the instructions and gave him some advice. This was the greatest help to Nie Xiaoqi. Of course, the most important thing was to teach Nie Xiaoqi the iron arm skills.
Nie Xiaoqi was far from reaching the level of iron arm training. It is said that Nie Zhong had practiced hard skills for more than ten years before he achieved his later skills. Nie Xiaoqi also saw Nie Wujiu practicing with several of his brothers. Nie Wujiu had never practiced hard kung fu, but Nie Xiaoqi saw that he could cut down big trees with his hands. Nie Sanniang said that it was a kind of Internal strength.
Nie Xiaoqi was naturally greedy. Later, Nie Wujiu's outstanding performance made him gradually become Nie Xiaoqi's idol, because Nie Sanniang also admired Nie Wujiu very much. As a female, Nie Sanniang, Nie Xiaoqi has also seen her skills. Although she is far inferior to Nie Wujiu's brothers, she is still pretty good among her friends.
Xianglan has always been good to Nie Xiaoqi. Although she has not yet reached the level of admiration at a young age, as her grandfather Nie Zhong appreciates Nie Xiaoqi, she and Nie Xiaoqi serve Nie Sanniang together. Naturally, she usually loves Nie Sanniang. Nie Xiaoqi is more caring.
Although there won't be any good hints or gifts, the clever Xianglan is still thoughtful. Seeing that he often accompanies Nie Sanniang for walks, she can't help but give him a pair of arm guards made of iron sheets. This is what she saw After my grandfather wore the arm guard, he secretly used his personal pocket money to go to the blacksmith shop to make it custom-made.
This arm guard is usually worn on both arms and cannot be seen with clothes on. Nie Xiaoqi usually follows Nie Sanniang. Although Nie Sanniang will not deliberately punish Nie Xiaoqi, she has many trustworthy friends. It was always boring to ask some servants to compete, but Nie Xiaoqi saved a lot of trouble. Even the clever Nie Sanniang doesn't know this secret, which is not a big or small secret.
What's more important is that people in the fort often get into trouble when they go out during this period, so Xianglan is naturally a little worried about Nie Xiaoqi, who often goes out. He stubbornly persuaded his grandfather Nie Zhong, and actually asked Nie Zhong to give his own arm guards, the ones made of fine steel, to Nie Xiaoqi. Nie Zhong naturally had mixed emotions about his granddaughter, but he still followed her wishes.
But how dare Nie Xiaoqi take it away? It was one of Nie Zhong’s handy weapons for many years. Later, Xianglan got angry and ignored him, leaving Nie Xiaoqi helpless. It just so happened that this time Nie Xiaoqi followed Nie Wujiu out, Xianglan forced the arm guard to Nie Xiaoqi. Nie Xiaoqi now felt that without Xianglan's foresight, he might have been left alone at this moment.
There has never been a moment when I wanted to be moved like this. Nie Xiaoqi even felt in her heart that if Xianglan was here at this moment, she would definitely say that you are too good and marry her as his own woman.
"Xiao Qi, are you afraid? Remember, you don't have to worry about a certain family. No matter what happens to you later, even if you are injured, you have to run back to the castle to report the news! You don't have to worry about what happens to a certain family. Just tell Uncle Qi everything here!" Nie Wujiu held Nie Xiaoqi's shoulders tightly and looked at Nie Xiaoqi who was very calm.
Normally, Nie Xiaoqi would listen to Nie Wujiu without hesitation, and servants should be obedient in the first place. But he knew that if he ran away, these people might not let him go. What's more, if he ran back to Niejiabao, as his master, Nie Huzi would not let him go if he saw that he was unharmed.
The opponent had a weapon in his hand, while Nie Wu Jiu and himself were unarmed. Although Nie Xiaoqi is not afraid of death, especially with his idol. But he was not stupid. If the other party really came to arrest Nie Wujiu, it would be impossible for him not to find out the details about Nie Wujiu and know his usual state.
At least, Nie Xiaoqi estimated that the combat effectiveness of these people must be the worst and not much different from Nie Wujiu. In front of them, he was like meat on the chopping board, a weak little person. But Nie Xiaoqi was thinking rapidly in her heart. She didn't think she could escape from their hands. Even if they let her go and let her go back to Niejiabao to report the news, at least they would definitely do violence to her. Looking at Nie Wujiu's calm expression, Nie Xiaoqi suddenly had an idea and made such a big and bold decision in his heart.
"Third Master, Xiao Qi thanks Master and the Nie family for their upbringing. The example of Laifu two days ago is in front of us. These people will not let us go. Xiao Qi was entrusted by Third Miss, Third Master It’s another person that Xiao Qi usually respects. It’s the first time Xiao Qi served the Third Master and he didn’t expect such a thing. Xiao Qi is definitely not afraid of death, but he knows that his kung fu is too poor, but Xiao Qi will never sit still and wait for death. Xiao Qi has a Plan!" Nie Xiaoqi looked at the four men in black calmly, holding the umbrella, getting closer to Nie Wujiu, looking very scared, but whispering next to Nie Wujiu.
Nie Wujiu looked at this servant that he usually didn't pay attention to in surprise. He saw Nie Xiaoqi's face was calm. Nie Wujiu couldn't help but feel as if he had just met him. A feeling of emotion arose in his heart. Originally, Nie Wujiu was so excited about this environment. Qiu felt that there was no hope. After hearing a few words from Nie Xiaoqi, his thoughts surged and he felt that there were countless changes.
Nie Wujiu's face remained calm. Listening to Nie Xiaoqi quietly talking about his thoughts, he couldn't help but feel a little more confident. Although his eyebrows were still furrowed, his eyes were indeed sharp. As soon as his ears moved, he saw two men in black running towards the end of the alley where the yard had come from, each holding a knife in their hands. He knew that he could not wait any longer. He couldn't help but snatch the umbrella from Nie Xiaoqi's hand, shook the umbrella with his hand, and rushed towards the four men in black.
The four men in black seemed stunned for a moment, not expecting Nie Wu Jiu to dare to take the initiative. But the two sides were separated by about ten meters after all, and the two men in black with thick-backed knives said nothing, took the initiative to grab them, and then attacked them. Without saying a word, everyone faced each other head on.
This stone alley is very narrow, the widest is only about three meters. Nie Wujiu preemptively struck with his feet, and he jumped into the air. The oil umbrella flew along the edge and formed a shadow, attacking the man in black who was half a step ahead on his left. At this time, the short oil umbrella in Nie Wujiu's hand became the best weapon in the alley of this house.
Standing down, he quickly tapped his feet on one side of the wall, and then he rushed forward even faster, and actually brought a strong wind towards the two men in black. When he went out to meet women today, he never thought of bringing a weapon with him, and he never thought that he would be stared at. There was anger in his heart. After all, he had grown up with his uncle Nie Huzi since he was a child, and he had also been taught by Nie Huzi. Holding the oil umbrella, I used my internal strength, and the spinning edge of the umbrella whirled sharply. Having gained the upper hand, Nie Wu Jiu did not want to lose this opportunity.
If you were hit by the edge of the umbrella, it would not be a trivial matter in the hands of someone who knew kung fu. The man in black on the left seemed to know how powerful it was, so he had no choice but to step back half a step. Nie Wujiu was unyielding and kicked his left foot on the wall of the courtyard next to him. He didn't land at all. The edge of the umbrella in his hand turned into a shadow, and the white flowers hit the man in black on the right like a dazzling sight. In a flash of thought, he actually took the initiative to attack. Even if he faced two men in black with knives in their hands, he had to avoid their sharp edges.
However, the man in black was not easy to deal with either. The man in black on the left kept backing up and finally stabilized his body. He slashed at Nie Wu Jiu with one step. Although he was still far away, the wind of the sword was already coming. .
This is not about arresting people, it is simply about killing people. The whip-wielding man in black at the back of the four people looked at his companion and shook the whip in his hand, making a crisp sound in the air, and the head of the whip struck between the two of them. He didn't want to kill Nie Wujiu and remind his companions in time.
The other man in black holding a long whip stood behind him because the stone alley was very narrow. On the contrary, two men in black with knives running from behind the alley where they came from were already very close now. For a moment, it seemed that the small stone alley was filled with murderous intent.
At this time, Nie Xiaoqi, who was quiet, suddenly took action and ran toward the four men in black like a fierce man. He just rushed over with his bare hands. The two men in black who were facing Nie Wujiu with knives saw that Nie Xiaoqi had no weapons, so they didn't bother to pay attention to Nie Xiaoqi and let him rush over against the wall.
This time it was like chaos, but the man in black with the whip who had been motionless had a cruel smile in his eyes when he saw Nie Xiaoqi rushing over.
Others didn't come over either. They hooked their fingers at Nie Xiaoqi and looked at Nie Xiaoqi non-stop, motioning for him to come over. The long whip in his hand made a sound and scurried over like a spiritual snake.
"Report!" A cold crisp sound disrupted the thoughts of the man standing high on the green tiles on the top of the hall. He stood upright with his hands behind his back, on the top of the somewhat dilapidated blue tiled hall, with an expression that was free and free from dust. His eyes were bright and restrained. Although his expression could not be seen, it made people know that this person was in a high position. He was wearing a white washed blue robe that swayed slightly in the breeze.
He was originally looking at the distant mountains, where there were continuous mountain peaks, and there were large villas under the peaks. At this moment, flames shot up from all over the courtyard, and faint sounds of shouting and killing could be heard. When he heard the sound of the alarm, he slowly turned around. In the late evening light, he could see that he was a thin man in his thirties.
This is an unnamed hill not far from Kaifeng Mansion. This hill is only about 200 meters above sea level. Even it is connected to the peak behind the village, and it obviously belongs to a mountain range. Although the mountains here are lush and full of towering trees, perhaps because the mountains are too ordinary and the trees are too ordinary, they are not famous.
It is said that later Taoist figures came here to practice Buddhism on this mountain. It was originally a small shack and later developed into a small Taoist temple. I don’t know how many generations have passed since then. Nowadays, because of the abandoned Taoist temple here, the locals usually call it Guantang Mountain.
At this time, the burning manor under the mountain peak in the distance was originally a famous local viewing place, and even Guantang Mountain was the property of the owner of this manor. The reason why this manor is famous and huge is because it is the property owned by a famous and powerful figure in the Zhou Kingdom today. It is the manor of Zhang Yongde, the close relative of the late emperor's consort Zhang Yongde, who is now the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, and his uncle Zhang Jun, the former military commander of Luozhou.
Let’s not talk about Zhang Jun’s ability to supervise everything and what kind of big shot he is. Zhang Yongde alone is incredible. He was an incredible figure in the Zhou Kingdom during the Five Dynasties. He is the consort appointed by Emperor Guo Wei of the Zhou Kingdom and the husband of the fourth princess, Princess Shouan.
On that day, because the previous ruler of the Northern Han Dynasty had no moral principles, he executed all the descendants of Emperor Taizu in Beijing, leaving Emperor Taizu Guo Wei who had ascended the throne as the emperor without any heirs. It can really be said that the family was extinct. Although Guo Wei became emperor and thought of many ways, he never had any descendants.
Emperor Taizu had no choice but to find a successor among his own relatives. The first thing that came to mind was nephew Chai Rong and son-in-law Zhang Yongde, but in fact, the nephew Chai Rong was chosen instead of the son-in-law, so Chai Rong changed his name to Guo Rong.
The most important thing for Guo Rong to succeed was the fear of Zhang Yongde's dissatisfaction. Although Zhang Yongde had always been benevolent and filial, Taizu Guo Wei still made a decisive decision. When the crisis came, he made Zhang Yongde the minister of Gu Ming, and paid homage to Guo Rong in front of his hospital bed. From then on, the master and slave were decided. relation! But no one in the Zhou Kingdom knew that later the current emperor of the Zhou Kingdom, Guo Rong, paid great respect to Zhang Yongde. After all, Zhang Yongde’s wife was the biological daughter of Emperor Taizu and his nominal sister, while the emperor Guo Rong was just the concubine. Ancestor's nephew.
And Zhang Yongde lived up to expectations. He first made extraordinary achievements for the emperor in the Northern Han Dynasty, and has since emerged. Then he followed Emperor Guo Rong to the south and captured more than ten states in the Southern Tang Dynasty. Since then, the two countries have been bounded by the Yangtze River. Emperor Guo Rong also promoted Zhang Yongde to the post of the capital guard in front of Zhou Guodian.
In particular, the Battle of Gaoping in the Zhou Kingdom was an epoch-making battle for the Zhou Kingdom's military. It was also a battle that established Emperor Guo Rong's authority in the Zhou Kingdom's army. Without this war, perhaps the history of the Zhou Kingdom in the Central Plains would have been rewritten. In this crucial battle, Zhang Yongde, as a general, was not only unafraid of death, but also accomplished extraordinary feats in the face of danger. Not only did he save the emperor Guo Rong from danger in front of the battle, but he also made a decision to kill the fleeing generals and generals who were afraid of the battle, stabilized the morale of the army and examined the overall situation.
What is even more outstanding is that after the war, he devoted himself to running the army strictly, observing the overall situation, assessing the situation in an instant, and judging the situation in an instant. He spoke from the bottom of his heart to Emperor Guo Rongtui, exuding his farsightedness in governing the army and the country.
Of course, there is another thing circulating in the military, but relatively few people know about it. If this matter comes out, it may cause turmoil in Zhou State. That is to check and become emperor. This rumor is getting more and more fierce now.
Now, who dares to disturb Tai Sui?
