The moon is like a silver plate, shining on the earth.
In the courtyard of the Governor's Mansion in the East Factory, the sounds of footsteps, shouts of death, curses, screams, and the clash of gold and iron swords all blended together.
Dozens of corpses were already lying on the ground, and the smell of blood drifted along the night wind to the two figures standing on the roof behind them.
Yu Huatian put his hands on his back, the silver python robe on his body gently undulated with the night wind, and his fair face carved a beautiful arc, like an immortal descending from the night sky.
Looking at the chaotic scene below, he said calmly: "Zhao Jingzhong has been dormant in secret for so many years, but he only managed to win over so many people?"
Ma Jinliang carries two swords on his back and wears a copper beast mask, like a ghost, standing quietly next to Yuhuatian.
Hearing this, he nodded and said, "This person is a little smart, but his heart and skills are not comparable to Wan Yulou. If it weren't for the help of his junior sister Wei Ting, Wan Yulou would have been eaten up by Wan Yulou over the years. "
"After all, he is also the successor of Wei Zhongxian, but he is so unbearable!"
Yu Huatian shook his head with some disappointment, then turned to look at the figures in Feiyu uniforms in the field: "On the other hand, the Jin Yiwei guys have pretty good martial arts."
Ma Jinliang also looked at it with his white ghost eyes, pointing and introducing: "The Qianhu guy wearing the silver flying fish suit is named Lu Wenzhao. He is from Fusi, Beizhen. He keeps a low profile and has been attached to Dongchang these years. He is the most loyal dog under Dongchang, he will bite whoever he is asked to bite, probably because he wants to rely on Dongchang to climb up."
"Yeah?"
Yuhuatian said calmly: "If you are promoted to Qianhu, you will be the envoy of Fusi Town in the North and South Towns. However, these two positions are basically determined by the imperial court, and it is not Dongchang's turn to appoint them."
Ma Jinliang was stunned for a moment and said: "If that's the case, then why is he willing to be Dongchang's lackey? There is no benefit in being so forbearing..."
"Who knows!"
Yu Huatian smiled and didn't say much, but there was an inexplicable look in his eyes.
This world is indeed more interesting.
Even the characters of "Xiuchundao" are gathered together.
If the plot direction is correct, the reason why Lu Wenzhao is so forbearing is to overthrow this era, which is what he often calls "changing his life."
On the surface, he is Jinyiwei Qianhu and Dongchang's lackey, but in fact, he secretly defected to King Xin and planned to support King Xin to ascend the throne.
By the way, it is worth mentioning that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty at the moment is Emperor Tianqi Zhu Youxiao, and King Xin's name is Zhu Youjian, who later became Emperor Chongzhen and the emperor's younger brother.
Since the emperor was ill and had no children, once the emperor died, King Xin Zhu Youjian was indeed the best candidate to inherit the throne.
However, in the original drama of "Xiuchundao", Zhu Youjian became emperor with the support of Wei Zhongxian, but in this world, Wei Zhongxian was deposed by Emperor Tianqi ten years ago.
Moreover, as far as Yu Huatian knew, the iron and courageous prince of Hulong Villa had been secretly collecting evidence of the generals over the years and plotting a rebellion.
Therefore, whether Zhu Youjian can still become emperor is still two different things.
Yuhuatian was not sure either, so he didn't explain much.
Seeing this, Ma Jinliang stopped asking any more questions, looked at the battlefield below, and continued to introduce: "The man with the Xiuchun Sword is named Shen Lian, and he is a general under Lu Wenzhao; the man next to him with the Winged Goose Sword is named Shen Lian. His name is Lu Jianxing, he is Shen Lian’s Shangguan, and he is hereditary; the other one who uses double swords is named Jin Yichuan, and he is Shen Lian’s junior flag officer.”
"These three are sworn brothers, Lu Jianxing is the eldest, Shen Lian is the second, and Jin Yichuan is the third."
"By the way, that Jin Yichuan seems to be Ding Xiu's junior brother, but we haven't found out Ding Xiu's origin yet, but judging from their kung fu, they should be from the border army..."
Yuhuatian said calmly: "This person's master is named Ding Baiying. He and Lu Wenzhao are brothers and sisters. They are both descendants of the Qi Family Sword."
"Qi Family Sword?!"
Ma Jinliang was a little surprised. Qi Jiguang, the founder of Qijiadao, was a famous general in his time. Therefore, in this era, the successor of Qijiadao is indeed worthy of a closer look.
Yu Huatian nodded, looked at the figures in the field, and said: "Except for Ding Xiu, if there are other people who are interested, that's all. If not, just send them to see Li Zhong. Don't hold back." ...By the way, don’t kill Shen Lian, leave it to me.”
Yu Huatian's eyes have been focused on Shen Lian, and he is already thinking about how much luck Shen Lian is worth.
After all, he is also the protagonist of a drama, so it shouldn’t be too low...
"Yes." Ma Jinliang nodded.
"Are our people all in ambush?"
"Tan Luzi and Zhao Tong are waiting outside, and all the third-rate and above masters are here!"
Ma Jinliang replied.
Yuhuatian nodded slightly.
At this time, there was a sudden commotion below, and as the crowd crowded, a majestic voice came from outside the mansion: "The stall owner, Zhao Jingzhong, has committed the crime of assassinating the deputy governor. He shall be punished for his crime."
"Our family has been ordered to kill thieves. Today we will only kill the leader. Anyone who dares to stop him will be treated as an accomplice and will be killed without mercy!"
Hearing this voice, Yu Huatian raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "The rightful master is here!"
…
In the courtyard of the Governor's Mansion.
Zhao Jingzhong and others were shocked when they heard the sound coming from outside, and then their expressions changed.
"Liu Xi!"
Zhao Jingzhong looked ugly and gritted his teeth.
"Liu Xi? Isn't he the governor of the West Factory?"
When Ding Xiu heard this, he looked away from Zhao Jingzhong's head and felt a little puzzled.
Can you still make money from these two thousand taels today?
Along with Liu Xi's voice and the fact that Li Zhong was dead, many people were really shocked.
For a moment, both sides stopped temporarily and looked outside the house.
Soon, the crowd dispersed, and a majestic man wearing a white python robe walked in with his hands behind his back. It was Liu Xi.
After Liu Xi came in, his eyes swept across the venue first. When he saw Li Zhong's headless body in the living room, a hint of unnoticeable joy suddenly flashed in his eyes. Then he looked at Zhao Jingzhong and others and shouted:
"Zhao Jingzhong, you two brothers and sisters, together with the Jin Yiwei, committed the following crime and killed the deputy governor. Do you think you are guilty?!"
Zhao Jingzhong's face was gloomy. Why didn't he know Liu Xi's plan until now? He stared at Liu Xi and said, "Liu Xi, you castrated dog, how dare you plot against me?!"
"A castrated dog? It's like you're not."
Liu Xi sneered and said: "You just want to kill Li Zhong yourself, and you also involve the Jin Yiwei. I'll see how you explain it. You have no brains. No wonder I."
Zhao Jingzhong gritted his teeth and said, "You want to take advantage of me to kill Li Zhong and then use this as an excuse to come out and take advantage, don't even think about it!"
"Do it and kill him!"
laugh--
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Jingzhong flashed and stabbed Liu Xi with no intention of holding back.
He admitted that he had indeed underestimated Liu Xi before, but as long as he killed Liu Xi, everything was still within his plan!
Lu Wenzhao and others frowned when they saw this, but at this moment they were indeed riding a tiger. Once this matter spread, none of them could afford to be charged with murdering the deputy governor of Dongchang, and they would have no choice but to go to the dark side.
"superior!"
With a clear shout, Lu Wenzhao and the other four also took action.
"A bunch of bastard fish, they don't know their own abilities!"
Looking at the people rushing toward him, Liu Xi showed disdain, and then his eyes blazed with murderous intent. The huge amount of zhenqi in his body instantly bloomed, attached to both palms, and blasted forward with one palm.
Rumble——
In an instant, the green brick exploded, and the attacks from Zhao Jingzhong and others hit Liu Xi. Instead of penetrating Liu Xi's body, he was instantly knocked away by a terrifying force.
Everyone looked shocked.
"You broke through the Grandmaster?!"
Zhao Jingzhong said in shock, his eyes fixed on the milky white halo surrounding Liu Xi's body.
True Qi leaves the body and turns into body-protecting Qi. Only the master level can do this!
Liu Xi chuckled and said: "Do you think our family is like a waste like you, and even the slightest trump card has to be exposed in the eyes of others? If we hadn't been worried about Wanyu Lou these years, our family would have crushed you to death like an ant. Simple! A dog that Wei Zhongxian raised back then was worthy enough to climb on our head, bah! What the hell!"
Zhao Jingzhong's face was ugly, but his heart was extremely heavy. There was a chasm between Xiantian and Grandmaster that was difficult to cross.
Since Liu Xi has broken through the Grandmaster, his life and death today are unpredictable.
But now he also had no way out.
If Liu Xi is not killed, he will be the one who dies!
"Do it!"
"If we don't kill him, we will all die!"
With a loud shout, Zhao Jingzhong gathered all his inner strength on the spear, rushed out, and rushed towards Liu Xi again.
Wei Ting and Lu Wenzhao did not hesitate, gripped their weapons, and attacked at the same time.
Bang bang bang...
Faced with the siege of six innate masters, Liu Xi remained unafraid, with a calm demeanor and a measured advance and retreat. Protected by the body-protecting aura, Zhao Jingzhong and others could not break Liu Xi's defense in a short period of time.
On the contrary, Zhao Jingzhong and others could not get close to Liu Xi at all, and they did not dare to directly receive Liu Xi's attacks, so they were too timid to fight.
In the blink of an eye, the two sides fought for dozens of rounds, and the situation was extremely fierce.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, Zhao Jingzhong was eager for success and was attracted by a flaw Liu Xi had revealed. He took the initiative to get close and tried to break Liu Xi's protective aura. Unexpectedly, he was hit in the chest by Liu Xi's palm, vomiting blood and flew out.
"puff……"
Zhao Jingzhong's face turned pale in an instant, and he quickly used his internal strength to stabilize his injuries.
Looking at the situation on the field, Zhao Jingzhong seemed to have thought of something, and quickly turned around and looked behind him. He saw Ding Xiu holding his big imperial saber, standing there watching the battle with interest, without any intention of intervening.
Zhao Jingzhong was so angry that he almost vomited blood again, and immediately shouted angrily: "Ding Xiu, why don't you take action?!"
Hearing this, Ding Xiu glanced at him lazily and said, "Eunuch Zhao, the two hundred taels you gave me was just the price of killing Li Zhong. Now that I'll kill Li Zhong for you, do you still have a hundred taels?" If you pay it off, you have to deal with Liu Xi, which is another price."
Zhao Jingzhong was furious. Are you looking for money?
But at this moment, he really didn't dare to anger Ding Xiu, so he immediately took out a bag of silver from his arms and threw it to Ding Xiu, saying: "Give it all to you, kill Liu Xi for me!"
Ding Xiu finally weighed the bag and nodded with satisfaction: "Deal!"
Bang——
The next second, the long sword suddenly came out of its sheath and slashed towards Liu Xi.
Seeing this, Zhao Jingzhong temporarily suppressed his injuries, quickly grabbed his spear, and took the opportunity to join the battlefield.
Ding Xiu is the strongest among the few. He may not be able to beat the grandmaster Liu Xi one on one, but in the innate realm, there is absolutely no one who can be his opponent.
With the addition of Ding Xiu, the situation was instantly reversed.
Because Ding Xiu's attack could penetrate Liu Xi's protective aura, Liu Xi's two fists were unable to defeat his four hands. Suddenly, Ding Xiu slashed him in the chest with a knife. The protective aura broke, and a ferocious gash instantly appeared on his chest. .
Lu Wenzhao and others seized the opportunity and took advantage of this gap to swarm forward and hit Liu Xi with several attacks. Liu Xi screamed and flew backwards.
"who are you?!"
After stabilizing his body, Liu Xi quickly tapped his chest twice to stop the blood flow, and looked at the high-spirited Ding Xiu in shock and anger.
"Take people's money and eliminate disasters with them. My prodigal son, Ding Xiu, has met Eunuch Liu."
Ding Xiu said with a smile.
Liu Xi gritted his teeth and said: "How much money Zhao Jingzhong gives you, we will give you double, help me kill him!"
"Sorry, I have professional ethics." Ding Xiu said with a smile.
Zhao Jingzhong and others immediately breathed a sigh of relief. This man was both good and evil. They were really worried that Ding Xiu would turn against them.
Liu Xi's face darkened, he looked at Ding Xiu and said, "You will regret your choice!"
As he spoke, he shouted angrily: "Take action!"
After he finished speaking, he stretched out his body again and attacked Zhao Jingzhong and the seven others.
But this time, he was joined by two innate masters!
Zhao Jingzhong's expression changed slightly and he shouted quickly: "Stop them!"
When the dozen Houtian warriors who had been watching the battle heard this, they immediately grabbed their weapons and rushed forward, but the others brought by Liu Xi also took action, and the number was even greater than that of Zhao Jingzhong.
Those two innate masters were not something that these acquired warriors could stop. They broke through the formation in the blink of an eye and joined Liu Xi and others on the battlefield.
With the assistance of two innate warriors, Liu Xi's pressure was greatly reduced. Although he was injured, he was still extremely strong. His true energy seemed to be flowing continuously. In a moment, Zhao Jingzhong and others were beaten back again and again.
"ah--"
Suddenly, Wei Ting, who was the weakest, was hit by Liu Xi, but before she could escape, a huge suction force suddenly came from Liu Xi's palm. Wei Ting suddenly looked horrified, and she felt that her inner strength was being forcibly sucked out. Outside the body, it poured into Liu Xi's body.
"The great method of absorbing energy!"
Zhao Jingzhong and others' expressions also changed drastically, and they suddenly remembered the rumor that Liu Xi knew a martial art that could absorb people's inner energy.
"Hahaha--"
Liu Xi laughed wildly. With Wei Ting's internal energy supplement, he felt that his Qi was recovering rapidly at this moment, and even the injuries he had suffered just now were slowly repairing.
"Quickly interrupt him!"
Zhao Jingzhong shouted loudly and quickly stepped forward with a gun in an attempt to interrupt Liu Xi's practice.
However, Lu Wenzhao and Shen Lian were held back by Liu Xi's two innate masters. The remaining four were knocked away as soon as they took action. They could not get closer in a short period of time. They could only watch helplessly as Liu Xi used Wei Ting's help. The internal strength restores Qi and injuries.
"Hahaha!"
Liu Xi looked up to the sky and laughed: "You trashes, you dare to go against our family, you..."
boom--
Before he finished speaking, a fierce energy came from behind. Liu Xi's face changed slightly, he subconsciously withdrew his strength, turned around and struck out with a palm.
With the two palms facing each other, Liu Xi's body trembled, and he took a few steps back. As soon as he stabilized his body, he felt a sweetness in his throat, but he forced him back, and he immediately raised his head and looked forward.
I didn't know when a young man appeared in front of him, who was also wearing a silver-white python robe, but was extremely handsome. His indifferent eyes showed inherent majesty and domineering, and his demeanor was very extraordinary.
"Yuhuatian?!"
Liu Xi's expression changed drastically.
…
