"Looking for you?"
Hou Tianjing, the leader, sneered: "What we are doing with your master is a bloody business. Do you want to take his place?"
As he spoke, several strong men came up and surrounded the convoy transporting grain.
Old Yangtou's expression changed drastically, and several of the government officials escorting him around him also looked nervous!
Obviously, the government officials are no match for these evil slaves from the Liu family!
In front of the door of Gu's Grain House, tensions suddenly rose!
Pedestrians on the originally noisy Shangjing Long Street stopped now. Some hid in nearby teahouses and restaurants, and some went home far away, only daring to watch quietly from the windows.
From time to time there were whispers.
"What happened to Gu's Grain Store? Did you offend someone you shouldn't have?"
"You were away just now and didn't hear these people say that they are from the Liu family in Linjiang City..."
"Oh my God! The Liu family, I heard that in Linjiang City they can cover the sky with one hand. In a few years, they will be considered a wealthy family in Dajing!"
"But why did the Liu family come to trouble the Gu family?"
"Are you stupid? They are all grain merchants, and Gu's Grain House stole their business!"
"Oh, Mr. Gu is still very conscientious when doing business. What a pity..."
Many people, like the waiter in the shop, were grateful for the good relationship with the Gu family, sighed sadly, and prayed for the grain farm; of course, there were also a small number of people who were equally jealous of the Gu family's business and were ready to watch a good show.
At this time!
Then Hou Tianjing looked at Lao Yang condescendingly and said, "Old man, let me tell you the truth. My father is very dissatisfied with your Gu family's business expansion to Yunzhou and Xiangzhou and taking away my Liu family's business. He plans to Please ask your young master to go to Linjiang City to have a good talk..."
"Be wise and call him out, and we will let you servants go!"
"Don't even think about reporting it secretly, you'll end up dying even worse!"
Of course Lao Yang understands that officials protect each other.
At the moment, the most important thing is to make sure that the young master can leave this place safely!
"Okay, some strong men, please wait a moment. I, I will call my young master right now..."
Lao Yang made a flattering smile.
"Old man, don't you think about running away with your master from behind?" There were smart people among the evil slaves of the Liu family. Before he could leave, he pulled out a knife and put it against the necks of other followers in the grain farm!
"As long as you don't come back, I will kill one every half stick of incense until I kill them all... It's up to you!"
Hearing this, the smile on Lao Yang's face suddenly froze, and his feet froze as if taking root!
The people hiding in the dark were also secretly frightened!
"In broad daylight, the slaves of the Liu family dare to draw swords and kill people in the city. Is there any royal law?!"
"The Liu family is as high as the emperor, but Linjiang City is even more outrageous than this!"
"Oh, now the Gu family is in big trouble!"
"..."
Haha, officials rely on their power to kill innocent people indiscriminately, with such careless regard for human life. No wonder the national destiny of Yasukuni has plummeted...
When Gu Lan saw this scene, he shook his head and laughed.
In the original work, the empress wants to restore the situation in one fell swoop, but she doesn't focus on small places like this. Eventually, a thousand-mile embankment will be destroyed by an ant nest.
After all, it is still a feudal dynasty, and the system is too complicated!
Gu Lan put down the tea cup, his starry eyes were deep, and he silently started to practice magic in his heart.
Immortal mind method·Spirit control!
Unexpectedly, I took a few casual glances that day, and now it comes in handy, and it’s just right...
"Today, I will show my kindness as a young master and help the empress clean up her family. I hope... I can kill her as a warning to others."
...
In front of the grain farm.
At this moment, those strong men saw what Old Yang was thinking, and their expressions suddenly became ferocious!
"Old man, you really want to play tricks on us!"
"Kill him directly and we will go find him ourselves!"
When Hou Tianjing, the leader, spoke, two mortal slaves with the lowest status rushed up and swung their blades to chop Lao Yang's head to death.
But at this moment.
When Lao Yang closed his eyes in fear!
The two men's knives actually changed directions at the same time, slashing straight to the side, wiping their companion's neck with a tacit understanding!
In an instant, blood spurted out!
The two headless corpses fell down neatly!
A full three seconds later!
Lao Yang felt the heat on his face and opened his eyes. He was immediately stunned and his eyes were wide open!
The people hiding in the restaurant were also dumbfounded. They looked at the two corpses on the long street quietly, and their brains suddenly shut down!
Only the evil slaves of the Liu family were stunned for a moment!
They all drew their knives on Lao Yang's head at the same time, showing vigilance on their faces!
"Brothers, be careful, this old man is weird!"
"Mad! Can't you see, you old guy dares to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger!?"
"..."
Everyone:? ? ! !
Lao Yang:? ? ?
Damn it! I didn't do anything, but your people came up and stabbed each other!
Even if he said this, no one would believe it at this moment!
After all, unless Gu Lan takes action, it is impossible to see the clues unless he is a powerful person above the fairyland!
As we all know, Lao Yang is a grain farm boy of the Gu family. At most, he is older and is usually very friendly with the neighbors.
But listen to these evil slaves of the Liu family!
The melon-eaters immediately lost their composure, and everyone looked shocked!
"Oh my God, I didn't expect that Old Yangtou is still a hidden master, and the master is actually by my side!"
"Fuck, I still owe him two taels of silver. I have to pay it back tomorrow!"
"This old Yang is really well hidden, and he doesn't have any airs. He really looks like a master!"
"..."
When they are thinking about it.
The person involved, Lao Yang, hasn’t come back to his senses yet!
Several evil slaves winked at each other.
Then, they came quickly with exactly the same posture and waved their weapons at Lao Yang!
However!
At this moment, a flash of knife light suddenly appeared.
But it was drawn from behind them!
Lao Yang raised his arm to block it, but when he put it down, what he saw was half-length bodies lying on the ground!
Several evil slaves were cut off at the waist!
He was shocked!
Because the one who swung this sword was the leader of the evil slaves, the one who had just threatened to chop him to death, the only monk who had reached the acquired realm!
Tick tock, tick tock...
There was blood dripping from the blade, and the acquired evil slave stood there with a dull expression.
Of course, all this can’t be seen by the melon-eating crowd with their backs turned!
All they knew was that it was the leader who turned against him and stabbed all the evil slaves of the Liu family in the back with one move!
Good guy, are you looking for trouble or are you here to play Infernal Affairs! ?
Their thoughts that were clear just now are now in chaos, and they are looking at everything in the distance with confused faces!
At this time.
In the grain farm, Gu Lan curled his lips and softly uttered two words: "Kneel down."
Outside.
The evil slave's eyes suddenly stiffened, and with a plop, he knelt upright in front of Lao Yangtou!
Everyone:! ! !
Lao Yang:? ? ?
Suddenly, the evil slave suddenly spoke!
"Sir, the younger one's name is Wang Qiang. He is a slave of the Liu family. He came here today to destroy the Gu's grain farm and take Gu Lan back to Linjiang City."
Lao Yang's eyes widened, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said in shock: "I, I didn't ask you anything..."
But then!
Wang Qiang revealed everything he knew.
To others, it seemed as if Lao Yang was really interrogating him on the spot!
"Sir, Liu Tianwen is relying on King Muyun Liu Xi. However, the two have nothing to do with each other. It's just that after Liu Tianwen gave away a lot of money, he pretended to be powerful in Linjiang City."
"There are also grains from Gu's Grain House. We intercepted a batch on the way and sent them to Yunzhou and secretly transferred them to Linjiang City. Liu Tianwen was very jealous..."
"..."
After saying this, everyone was dumbfounded!
"Liu Tianwen turns out to be relying on King Muyun, no wonder he can become the local emperor with such arrogance!"
"The Liu family actually dared to intercept food destined for the front line. It was military food. If found out, it would not be a capital crime!?"
"King Mu Yun is in trouble now, he is destined to be implicated!"
"Damn it, this slave is so good. You asked him dirty things about his master and he really told you!"
"..."
After listening to his description, Gu Lan nodded lightly and made a gentle stroke with his slender white hand.
Outside.
Wang Qiang's head fell silently!
Needless to say, this was done by the hidden master Lao Yang again!
The people watching felt that this matter was finally understood!
A group of evil slaves overestimated their capabilities, and ended up offending the clumsy master Lao Yang, who died in the street for no apparent reason!
Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is so terrifying!
Their eyes looked at Lao Yang with awe!
Lao Yang's eyes were full of hesitation!
And now!
Gu Mansion.
Liu Yexi saw a shadow in the darkness in the corner, looked around, and walked forward: "What happened?"
This shadow is known only to Ouchi's close servants. It is the secret guard of Xuantiansi who makes all officials fear him!
If Feiyufu is an executive on the surface.
The secret guard is a sharp blade only in the hands of the empress, and can quietly take the lives of the princes at any time!
Under normal circumstances, the secret guards will not come to you on their own initiative.
"I have been ordered to protect Mr. Gu. There are changes in the grain store today." The secret guard's voice was hoarse.
Liu Yexi's pretty face changed color instantly: "Where is Mr. Gu, is he okay?"
The secret guard shook his head and then told the whole story.
Liu Yexi breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand: "I know, go and keep an eye on me more carefully. Gu Lan's life is your life, remember!"
"I understand the humble position!"
...
Liu Yexi immediately went to the study to see the empress.
Mu Yuyan was looking at Gu Lan's masterpiece at this moment - the pile of paper that he usually drew and played with, her beautiful eyes were fascinated.
"Your Majesty, something happened at the grain farm. Several servants of the Liu family came to destroy the place. They have all been killed now..."
Liu Yexi didn't dare to breathe loudly like the secret guard was talking, for fear that Mu Yuyan would worry and tell the whole story in one breath.
"Did the secret guard make a move? Gu Lang didn't notice it, right?"
After hearing this, Mu Yuyan turned slightly sideways and asked calmly.
She did not first care about the affairs of the Liu family in Linjiang City, even though they had committed the capital crime of robbing the army and even involved the current prince...
"Your Majesty, it was not the secret guards who made the move."
Liu Yexi explained softly: "According to the secret guard's description, when he wanted to take action, a very strange scene happened in the street..."
Weird naturally refers to those evil slaves suddenly fighting with each other.
However, Liu Yexi had her own judgment.
After getting along day and night, she knew that Lao Yang was just a mortal, not a reclusive master, so naturally he would not think like the people in the market.
Mu Yuyan's delicate brows furrowed slightly: "Then do you think someone is taking action secretly?"
"Well, and judging from the description of the secret guard... I think it's spiritual practice!"
Spiritual cultivation is a branch of the world's cultivation system, also known as ghost cultivation. Their spells are relatively unpredictable, but they are very consistent with the situation happening today.
Liu Yexi thought for a while and added: "The secret guards are not aware of that spiritual practice at all, which means that this person is at least king level, or even... emperor level."
In any system, as long as you reach the realm of king or emperor, you will basically be able to make clouds and rain with your hands in Langzhou City!
The matter of Hongmeng Sword Master has not yet been found out.
Only a few months have passed, and now there is another spiritual cultivator of unknown origin in Langzhou City? !
Mu Yuyan frowned when she heard this.
Although he knew that the Gu family had never provoked any spiritual forces, when he thought that Gu Lan was still in Liangzhuang, he was still concerned and confused for no reason.
She immediately put down the paper in her hand, her eyes were cold, and she said in a deep voice: "Xiao Xi, prepare the car."
