"Do you think you are a royal guard?"
Hou Jue still remembered the words that the young man asked him with a cold face on that soft and sunny afternoon.
Hou Jue, who was deprived of his official position and demoted to a white body, was very calm. He stood in the sun and spoke with a calm voice.
"I think I am."
After saying that, Hou Jue took off his brocade clothes, threw the embroidered spring knife to the other party, and then turned around and left.
Hou Jue had long known that Jin Yiwei could not tolerate him. Maybe it was because of his outstanding abilities, or maybe because of his bad reputation for repeatedly achieving extraordinary feats. As early as a long time ago, when he said "I'll give you some fine chaff, Lao Deng" at the party with Master Qianhu, Hou Jue knew that he would not be able to work as a Jinyiwei for a long time.
But what Hou Jue didn't expect was that Qianhu, who was full of arrogance and looked down upon by no one, was not angry because of his words. Instead, it was the newly appointed Xiaobaihu who set a trap for him, causing him to accidentally say that famous sentence. "The Flying General is just playing Gouba, and he is nothing but lost." Finally, at the signal of the dark-faced Flying General, he pushed himself to the end.
However, Hou Jue did not give up his ideals.
As a Jinyiwei who was deprived of his official status and lost his aura of dragon and tiger, Hou Jue did not become decadent all the way and find a mountain top to degenerate into a bandit and thug. What he chose was something he had wanted to do a long time ago.
Educate the world.
Yes, Hou Jue's dream is very lofty and abstract. His father was Hou Deguang, the famous "Thunder Swordsman" in the world. After meeting "Sister-in-law" Li Gan during a escort robbery, he washed his hands in a golden basin and retired to the mountains and forests.
After several years of loving each other and getting their son Hou Jue, Hou Deguang and Li Zhi each taught Hou Jue what they had learned throughout their lives. The family lived together happily, with roosters crowing and dogs stealing.
Then, they were found enemies by the officials who had been kidnapped before, and they used their own lives to teach Hou Jue a vivid lesson.
Jianghu affairs are very difficult.
Since then, Hou Jue, who was originally planning to join the Shuntian Escort Bureau and travel around the world, changed his mind. He felt that people in the world were just a bunch of imbeciles who were arrogant and unreasonable.
Therefore, Hou Jue joined the Jinyiwei, hoping to use the power of the government to correct the situation.
As a result, he discovered later that Jin Yiwei was even worse than Jiang Hu.
He had clearly found out early on that the horse bandits from the south were coming to Lingjiu Mountain to cause trouble, and he also passed the news to his former boss, the master of Baihu who set up the trap. But in the face of the conclusive information, the hundred households just sneered and said nothing further.
Of course, Hou Jue had already expected this, or he was looking for Baihu just to cut off his thoughts. Now, he no longer expects to rely on the power of others to correct this chaotic world.
Lingjiu Mountain, North Peak.
Overlooking the stunning scenery at the bottom of the mountain, Hou Jue held a long stick in his left hand and a broken knife in his right hand. He stood motionless on the raised rocks, as steady as Mount Tai.
As a fourth-level swordsman, even if the Dragon Tiger Qi is deprived, Hou Jue still has enough confidence to compete with the thirteen horse bandits in such a dangerous terrain in the forest. After all, in such a high area, this group of horse lovers like The gangsters who were determined to save their lives would never take the risk of bringing the horses to the top of the mountain, so Hou Jue only needed to wait quietly here.
call.
Many people say that the wind is the sound of Jianghu's breathing. The moment the wind blows, the rough alcoholic smell penetrates into Hou Jue's sense of smell from a distance. He slowly opened his eyes, and there was a flash of light and brilliant colors.
Um?
Then, he saw Thirteen Hermes.
Um? ? ? ? ? ?
Looking at the horse bandit carrying the horse step by step, Hou Jue's aura that had been depressed for a long time suddenly condensed, and then dissipated. Even the stainless steel sword in his hand almost lost its grip and fell.
The panicked Hou Jue stumbled, rolled over from the stone and landed on the ground. Regardless of his left buttock which was punctured by another sharp stone, he hurriedly hid in the dense forest aside and looked at the horse bandits struggling on the road with shock on his face. .
No, are you playing so perverted?
What horse bandits practice is generally [Shima Spiritual Technique], a third-grade ordinary spiritual technique. Practicing this spiritual method can deepen the relationship between the horse and the owner, so that one person and one horse can communicate with each other.
At the same time, the cultivator will also give part of his spiritual energy to the war horse to strengthen its physical ability, practice to the extreme, and even make "the horse is like a flying boat, never stopping" a reality.
But this is not the most important thing. The power of this spiritual method is that this spiritual energy blessing is mutual. In other words, as long as there is a horse by his side, the horse bandit can exert three or four points more strength than usual.
If it is a horse bandit without a horse, Hou Jue is completely confident that he can beat thirteen people in one shot. After all, he is also a fourth-level stickman, and he still practices the superior spiritual method [Big Thunder Rod].
You know, in the world of martial arts, spiritual techniques such as the thunder baton that can guide natural forces to attack the enemy are hard to buy, not to mention that Hou Jue also has the skill of a short sword.
But the problem is, he never expected that these Hermes would directly carry their beloved horses up the mountain. In this case, even if these horse bandits cannot mount their horses to fight, the spiritual energy fed back to them by the war horses cannot be ignored. not to mention···
Looking at the handsome man dressed in red and riding a tall green horse, a trace of surprise flashed in Hou Jue's eyes. He had seen this person in the government's [Southern Bandits Register]. His name was Xu Ziyi. He was the second-in-command of the Sixth Hall of the Ma Bandit Gang and a third-grade gunsmith.
But when Hou Jue saw the real person, he found that the opponent's strength seemed to be as strong as his own.
Fourth level gun repair...
For a moment, Hou Jue hesitated. He was not a fool. He knew his own strength. Although he is confident that he is invincible within the same level, but now he is a fourth-grade gun cultivator with thirteen horse bandits riding on war horses. If he really goes head-to-head, he will probably be able to see his parents tomorrow. .
Let’s follow it first and then take a look...
After a moment of doubt, Hou Jue chose to follow these people to see the situation. If he could catch the opponent's loopholes and give the opponent a blow, it would be good. Therefore, behind Xu Ziyi, who was acting in secret, another person started to Followed lurkingly.
Yes, there is another one.
"Did you find this thing?"
Zhou Li grabbed the tree branch with one hand and half-suspended among the leaves in a magical posture. He lowered his head, looked at the girl crouching in the water, and said with a blank look on his face: "Why are you following her with a stick?"
His eyes fell on the man sneaking around in the grass ahead with a stick on his back. Zhou Li rubbed his chin, squinted his eyes and looked up and down for a moment, and then came to a conclusion.
"Like a eunuch from the East Factory."
"Dongchang?"
Tang Wan was stunned for a moment and said blankly: "What's going on?"
Zhou Li was having a good time, and he didn't hesitate. He turned over lightly and landed on the ground. Then he pointed at Hou Jue's weird walking posture and said to Tang Wan on the side:
"This kid subconsciously spreads his hips when walking while squatting, and walks to the right. This is a typical eunuch's walking posture. Looking at his tracking techniques, it goes without saying that he must be the kind of official who kicks in the door to check the water meter every day. Master, I can only follow uprightly."
After saying that, Zhou Li raised his chin and said matter-of-factly: "Think about it, among the eunuchs working for the government, who check the water meter every day, besides the eunuchs of Dongchang, who else can be there?"
"Oh~~~"
Tang Wan suddenly realized it and was immediately impressed by Zhou Li's meticulous logic, "That's it, I've learned a lesson."
"But what does this eunuch from the East Factory want to do?"
Zhou Li became interested at this time. As the right-hand man of the emperor, the Jin Yiwei did not participate in the government and had no rank, but they enjoyed the same amount of dragon and tiger energy as the generals.
Dongchang is directly under the emperor. Although they do not enter the government and have no rank, the eunuchs of Dongchang cannot obtain the dragon and tiger energy, and they can only cultivate spiritual energy. Therefore, it is really intriguing that the private Dongchang eunuch appeared in this place at this time.
"Are you going to die today?"
Tang Wan's proverb is "If you're not surprised, you'll never stop until you die." It comes up with the sentence "Nine tribes of people will be happy." Even Zhou Li staggered and almost fell.
"You really dare to say that."
It's not that Zhou Li respects and loves the emperor and can't hear bad words. After all, he is also a time traveler. Whenever this day comes, he will find an opportunity to say, "Princes, generals, ministers, would rather have the seed."
The main reason is that he really didn't expect that Tang Wan was really outspoken. He thought it was because of her low emotional intelligence before, but now it seems that she doesn't have a mouth at all.
"The main thing is that there are only so many possibilities."
Tang Wan said matter-of-factly: "You see, the Spring of Rebirth has such a healing effect. Dongchang is the emperor's eagle dog. If you think about it, the emperor has a disease that can only be cured by the Spring of Rebirth, so it is very reasonable to send people from Dongchang to get the spring water." ah."
"No, no, no, that's a little unreasonable."
Zhou Li shook his head, and while showing a very high level of tracking skills, he analyzed it logically:
"Think about it, the emperor is the most powerful person in the world. If the emperor is sick and needs to be treated with the Fountain of Rebirth, would he just send such a useless eunuch to follow a group of horse bandits? Don't you think this is too cheap? Is it true? So, in fact, there is a high probability that the emperor is suffering from an ugly disease."
"Shameless?"
Tang Wan seemed to be walking in the water, but there was no sound or splash, and even her traces were wiped out in the mist. She looked at Hou Jue in front of her, who looked like she was sticking a stick in her butt, and after thinking for a moment, she frowned and said:
"hemorrhoid?"
"almost."
Zhou Li nodded, but then shook his head, "But it's not private enough."
"I suspect it's a sexually transmitted disease."
