man sanctified in death row vest

After the martial arts conference held at Hidden Sword Villa ended.

Not long after the painting appreciation began.

In the dark night, a group of people walked like flying on the winding muddy road.

They were heading in the direction of Hidden Sword Villa.

There are more than [-] people on this trip.

Among them, more than ten people were divided into two rows and rode horses in an orderly manner.They were wearing gorgeous embroidered blue robes with flying swallow patterns embroidered on them, and each of them carried two long swords on their backs.One long sword is long and the other is short, the long sword is three feet six, and the short sword is only two feet short.

The two swords are equipped with scarlet tassels that flutter in the wind.

The girdle of the Feiyan suit is uniformly equipped with a waist tag, and the word "secret" is engraved on the waist tag.

Flying swallow suit, long and short swords, and "secret" plaque.These three characteristics reveal the identity of this group of people - the secret factory.

After the demise of the Dasheng Dynasty, the Dagan Dynasty rose and replaced it.

At the beginning of the dynasty, in order to stabilize the government and supervise the subjects, the emperor set up a special "Secret Factory", referred to as "Secret Factory".He is only responsible to the emperor, has privileges, and can arrest and investigate subjects at will. He has great power in the court: first arrest and then trial, after trial, then play, and beheaded without refutation.

The horseshoes splashed mud in the night and galloped forward.

But it was not the cavalry that ran at the forefront.

The four of them were also wearing flying swallow suits, and carried a sedan chair on their shoulders, lifting the weight like light.On the muddy road, it can run faster than a horse.

At this time.

The rapid sound of horseshoes came from afar, and the six people rode together on horseback, and met the secret factory and his party on a narrow road.

"Master."

Among the four people who were carrying the sedan chair, one of them asked the person in the sedan chair in a low voice with a high-pitched voice, but it was a woman.

"Stop it."

A soft and cold voice came from the sedan chair, and it was hard to distinguish between male and female.

"Working in a secret factory, stop immediately! Otherwise, shoot and kill!"

As soon as the person in the sedan chair known as the "supervisor" finished speaking, more than a dozen "secret guards" scattered on horseback, blocked the way forward, and stopped the six people who were walking forward.

"It's a secret factory!"

"It's the court lackey!"

"Mother, why are you so unlucky!"

"Stop talking! They're near!"

These six people are just coming down from Hidden Sword Villa, and they are not qualified to stay till the end.One of them is heroic, with a nine-section whip hanging on his waist. It is the iron lady who was bullied after she used the deadly scissors to "Xiao Thief" in the martial arts conference.

After the martial arts conference was over, they traveled with a few friends they usually had certain acquaintances with, and went south to go home. Unexpectedly, they ran into people from the secret factory on the way.The iron lady secretly thought that it was unlucky, her eyes turned cold, and the people who saw the secret factory surrounded her in the blink of an eye, disturbing the horses, knowing that the visitors were not good.

However, the secret factory's behavior has always been domineering and domineering, and it is not aimed at a certain person.The few people looked at each other for a while, and the iron lady raised her hand to signal her friend to keep quiet, she gritted her teeth and got off the horse, she cupped her hands in the sedan chair and said, "Masters of the secret factory, we are idle knights in the world, we have not violated the laws of the king, nor have we been punished." Wanted, innocent, I don’t know why the adults stopped us, why?”

Iron Maiden held the horse rope hard. For some reason, when the people from the secret factory appeared, the horses panicked and panted heavily, which was different from the past.

The other five people also noticed that the horse's reaction was not right, so they didn't think about it for a while, they only thought that the horse's senses were sharp, and the secret guard was full of murderous looks, which startled them.

"Don't be nervous, just ask the way."

The person in the sedan chair chuckled, raised the curtain, stretched out a white and slender finger, and pointed to a mountain.

"Excuse me, everyone, the front is Hidden Sword Villa?"

Ask for directions?

Iron Maiden and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

One person replied: "Go back to my lord, the hidden sword villa is in front of me."

"The martial arts conference is over?"

The person in the sedan chair asked again.

The iron lady's eyes flashed, and she thought that she was indeed an eagle dog of the imperial court, with a keen sense of smell, she actually knew about the martial arts conference.Although there was no murderous intent in the other party's words, the private gathering in Wulin violated the taboo of the royal family, and they didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Understood. Oh, let's go."

The curtain that was raised at one corner fell, and the woman who carried the sedan chair covered her mouth and smiled: "The governor has spoken, and you are still not leaving? When will you wait?"

Lord!

When Iron Lady and the others heard this, their pupils shrank, and their hearts were horrified.

The person in the sedan chair was actually called the "supervisor" by the secret guard?
In the entire secret factory, there is only one person who can be called the supervisor, so the identity of the person in the sedan chair is ready to be revealed.

According to the rumors in the world, how can he be so easy to talk about that person who is cruel and ruthless?
"Thank you sir!"

The Iron Lady watched their noses, noses, mouths, and their hearts, not daring to say more, and after looking at each other, they got on their horses and wanted to leave.

But there were countless doubts in their hearts, didn't that person live in seclusion, far away in the imperial city?How could he rush to Hidden Sword Villa at all costs?And looking at the direction he came from, it was clearly coming from the south, not the northern capital.

What did the supervisor of the secret factory go to the Tibetan Sword Villa for?
Iron Maiden and her party of six passed by the secret guard.

There was a faint sigh in the sedan chair: "It's too late."

The sedan chair bearer said in a low voice, "Master Governor, it's better to go early than to be lucky."

The governor smiled lightly: "That's right, there will be a reward when you go back."

"Thank you Lord!"

The two groups of people separated from the north and the south, and gradually drifted away.

"call--"

On the martial arts side, three or four people exhaled at the same time, and when they touched their foreheads, they realized that they were covered in cold sweat.

After dozens of steps away, the panicked horse gradually calmed down.

"Iron Lady, he..."

Someone lowered his voice and wanted to say something.

"Shh!"

The iron lady raised her index finger, and her eyes signaled: Go quickly, don't make troubles.

Just when a few people were thinking of leaving quickly.

The governor who was hiding in the sedan chair suddenly asked a question. Although the voice was small, it could be heard far away in the night, like a basin of ice water being poured down.

"Just now, who said 'a lackey of the imperial court'?"

Iron Maiden and her group suddenly changed their faces, and they happened to be by the side of Iron Maiden. For some reason, a knight-errant raised his hand and admitted loudly: "I! Pei Rushi!"

After saying this, Daxia Pei covered his mouth in horror.

call out!
A leaf pierced through the sedan chair soundlessly, passed between Pei Daxia's eyebrows, and spattered a streak of blood.

The Lord twirled another leaf.

"Then who said the word 'unlucky'?"

Martial arts knights have never seen such a weird thing before, including Iron Lady, seeing the weirdness, when Pei Rushi fell from the horse, the remaining five people covered their mouths and noses tightly.

But when the governor said these words, another person covered his mouth and nose, opened his teeth up and down, and involuntarily made a strange sound of "I woo woo woo..." from between his fingers.

"honest."

The Lord smiled and popped another leaf.

Iron Lady turned her hand and shook out her nine-section whip, trying to block it.

"Don't move around, it's not good to live."

The governor smiled, and the iron lady stopped in a strange manner, and everyone watched another person fall from the horse's back, dying with regret.

Two leaves, two chuckles, killed two people.

When the second knight was killed by Ye Zi, the horses under the four of Iron Lady foamed at the mouth one after another, knelt on the ground and rolled in a panic, throwing the horsemen off.

The secret factory did not kill them all. After killing two people, they rode away.

Getting up from the ground covered in mud, Iron Lady just stood up when her feet gave way and fell down again.

Thinking of what happened just now, like in a dream, I can't believe it.

……

A group of people from the secret factory boarded the hidden sword villa.

"The secret factory is working, open the door quickly. Otherwise, you will be killed."

When the gatekeeper disciple of Cangjian Villa heard the name of "secret factory", his face changed drastically, but he calmed down soon.

"My lords, please wait a moment, and I will go in and report to the Patriarch."

"Overseer?"

There was a moment of silence in the sedan chair.

There was the crisp sound of knuckles tapping the wooden table lightly.

Knock, knock, knock.

"It's work."

The Governor laughed.

……

When Xie Luohe said the word "imperial court".

Zheng Xiu's first reaction was "army".

The plot of Xia Yiwu being banned and being surrounded and suppressed is too normal.

"It's a secret factory!"

After Duguxiang whispered to his disciples for a while, Duguxiang's expression changed: "Our Hidden Sword Villa used to provide weapons and cast armor for the imperial court. The river water never interferes with the well water. How could the secret factory visit in the middle of the night?"

"Oh? It is said in Jianghu that your Tibetan Sword Villa has a close relationship with the imperial court, and it is indeed true."

When Bai Xiaosheng heard this, he smiled without any surprise.

"It's just a business. People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves. What's more, Cangjian Villa is famous for its casting. If you don't compromise, you will only have a dead end." After saying a word, he pointed to one of the tunnels in the secret room: "Go forward on this road, turn right at the third fork, go forward two forks, turn left and then go down, go all the way to the end, and hear the sound of water. That’s right. There is a sword-shaped handle on the right hand side. Turn the hilt three times to the left and twice to the right. After hearing a strange noise, you can open the secret door and leave the villa.”

Duguxiang explained how Jing Mimi left the villa in one breath, and Fatty Jiang was dumbfounded when he heard it. After standing there for a while, he was overjoyed, and quickly took out a pen and paper from his arms, moistened it on the tip of his tongue, and jotted it down quickly.

After a few breaths, Fatty Jiang closed the notebook contentedly: "This can be sold for money."

Zheng Xiu: "..."

Duguxiang wanted to ask "Have you ever written it down", but when he saw Bai Xiaosheng frantically writing a cheat sheet, he swallowed this sentence, took the "Plum Blossoms and Snow Picture", and said: "God knows what happened today. Outside the knowledge, only the five...six people present know, I hope you don't spread it to the outside world."

Zheng Xiu nodded: "That's natural."

Bai Xiaosheng sneered: "Who would be that stupid?"

"Xiao Tao, put away the painting." After Xie Luohe ordered, he sighed softly: "It's a pity."

Dugu Xiang walked up: "Dugu will deal with the people in the secret factory. For the sake of business, they will not embarrass me. It will take ten days to go to Bashan. Then it will be [-] days later, at the foot of Bashan Get together, with Bai Xiaosheng's ability, it shouldn't be difficult to find us."

"Then it's settled!"

Bai Xiaosheng reluctantly moved away from several paintings, until Cheng Xiao put away his share, Bai Xiaosheng was the first to slip into the secret passage.

Several people followed, and the candlelight in the secret room was extinguished.

In the secret passage, Zheng Xiu looked at the back of Xie Luohe walking ahead, seeing that Xie Luohe had no intention of explaining himself, he couldn't help asking: "You just said it's a pity, what is it a pity?"

Xie Luohe didn't look back, and replied with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just a 'feeling', it's a pity."

Zheng Xiu: "Feeling?"

Xie Luohe: "Feeling."

Zheng Xiu was helpless: "I don't like people hiding."

Xie Luohe covered his mouth and smiled: "Perhaps, one day, you will be happy because of it."

"It's impossible."

"Hehe, who can say for sure."

The inside of the secret passage is dark and dull, but none of them are mediocre, relying on the air flow in the secret passage and the sound of the wind, they can distinguish the road.Not long after, they followed the instructions left by Duguxiang and walked to the exit of the secret passage.

Bai Xiaosheng had been waiting here for a long time, turned the switch, and the exit of the secret passage opened.The gurgling stream flows out of the narrow channel, the shadows of the trees on both sides are faint, the moon is sinking, and the dawn is approaching.

The sky was dim and white, and it shimmered on the flowing water.

From the outside, the entrance to the secret passage looks like an unremarkable boulder.Not long after the few people walked out, the boulder moved with a bang, and the secret passage closed by itself.This secret passage can only be exited but not entered, so the design is safe.

Bai Xiaosheng deeply understood the truth that "walls have ears", and he didn't foolishly spread his secrets outside.He glanced at the three of Xie Luohe, looked sideways, looked at Xiaotao, looked at Xie Luohe, and finally looked at Zheng Xiu.He patted Zheng Xiu's shoulder heavily: "Brother Gongsun, take care."

Zheng Xiu: "?"

Bai Xiaosheng walked with his chubby body stepping on the water, his body was light, and he disappeared into the jungle in the blink of an eye.

Let's talk about Duguxiang tidying up his clothes, carrying the sword box on his back, and calmly came to the gate of Hidden Sword Villa.

"Your lords have come from afar, please forgive me for being far away." The door was open and the lights inside were bright.Duguxiang pointed to the inside, and explained with apologetic expression: "As the adults have seen, there was a thief in the villa, and a few pieces of armor casting books and a batch of high-quality tea were lost. We searched for the thief's trace in the villa all night, so we can Neglect the adults."

Duguxiang clasped his fists neither humble nor overbearing, staring at the airtight curtain on the sedan chair, the curtain was tightly closed, but inexplicably gave Duguxiang a strange sense of uneasiness, as if something scary was hidden inside.

"I don't know the reason why the adults from the secret factory visited Hidden Sword Villa overnight? Could it be that my Dugu family accidentally violated some law?"

The people in the sedan chair were silent.

Duguxiang said again: "The Dugu family has close contacts with the Treasury Department of the Ministry of War. I hope the adults will be aware of it."

At this time Duguxiang moved out of his backer in the court.

Because of their "business", their family naturally has a certain friendship with the Ministry of War.

"Hehe." The governor hiding in the sedan chair chuckled: "The law of Dagan has already clearly prohibited illegal private gatherings. Two people are called 'conspiracy', three people are called 'public', ten people are called 'chaos', and a hundred people are called 'bandits'. Among them, "disorder" can be fined with silver, and "bandit" can be punished with a stick, or imprisoned, and for more serious cases, troops will be sent to encircle and suppress, and the death penalty cannot be escaped."

Duguxiang's eyes flashed, he had already thought about his words, and said: "Your Excellency, you are serious. Recently, there have been many happy events in the villa, so I will invite friends in the rivers and lakes, enjoy paintings and discuss martial arts, and learn from each other to strengthen my body. I will invite you with an invitation card. It's pure and clear, it's not a 'private gathering'."

"It makes sense." The governor said happily: "This governor is worrying too much."

Lord Lord?
When Duguxiang heard this, he gasped suddenly, it was that person!

"Walk."

The secret guards lifted their sedan chairs to leave, and before they left, a voice came from inside the sedan chair asking: "Excuse me, which direction are they going?"

Duguxiang answered blankly: "At the foot of the mountain, in the northwest, by the small river."

The governor asked again: "Ask again, have you ever found that place?"

Before Duguxiang finished his last sentence, he covered his mouth and nose in shock.The next moment, Duguxiang hammered his heart fiercely, and spat out a mouthful of blood.The movement of vomiting blood abruptly stopped the blurted words.

"That's it."

With a bang, a figure shattered the roof of the sedan chair, flew across the sky like a swallow paddling water, and went straight to the northwest.

"This broken place, let's burn it, and less twists and turns."

The governor blinked and disappeared into the night sky, leaving behind a word.

The rest of the secret guards reached into their arms, took out a small tube at the same time, and pulled the rope, the sound of bang bang bang sounded almost simultaneously, and bright fireworks shot straight into the sky.

The bright fireworks are blooming in the sky, like delicate flowers.

"No!"

Duguxiang reacted, his eyes were about to burst, several secret guards flew up laughing, and the long and short swords pierced out with cold light.

……

Not long after Bai Xiaosheng and Cheng Xiao left.

Xie Luohe, Xiaotao, and Zheng Xiu walked downstream along the river.

After dawn, I found a few horses and planned to leave for Lashan.

After walking a hundred steps, Xiaotao was out of breath.

Zheng Xiu originally wanted to ask intimately if he wanted to carry you on his back.

Xie Luohe suddenly stopped, took out the longbow behind him, and shouted at Zheng Xiu: "Protect Xiaotao, southeast, the enemy is coming from the mountain!"

Apart from anything else, Xie Luohe's beautiful black hair moved automatically without wind, bent his bow and set up an arrow, and the long arrow pierced through the air, shooting high into the sky like a cannonball.

Xie Luohe spoke very fast, but Zheng Xiu could be considered experienced in many battles, and he didn't talk nonsense. He pulled Xiaotao behind him, faced the southeast, bit his finger, and the red light on the tip of Luohe's pen painted the ground as a prison, surrounding the three of them in a circle.

"Good come!"

In the sky, I saw a person flying across the top of a tree like walking on flat ground.This person is wearing a crown hat and a blue swallow suit with a collar, and the pure white mink fur is particularly eye-catching.

Xie Luohe's arrow was very fast, but the mover's movement was even faster. He turned around and dodged Xie Luohe's terrifying arrow, grabbed a handful of green leaves with his backhand, and shook them at them.

Chi Chi Chi!
Each leaf made a sharp sound as it pierced the air.

Zheng Xiu's eyes were fixed, and he waved the Luohe pen to block the leaves one by one.

The visitor approached, and while moving at high speed, Zheng Xiu and Xie Luohe vaguely saw each other's face.

The face of the other party is pale, with handsome and extraordinary features, but there is a feminine temperament, if it is not dressed up as a man, this face is indisputable, it can be male or female.

Ten steps closer, the man opened his hands, his long sleeves puffed up, gliding like a flying kite, and fell straight down.

Xie Luohe and Zheng Xiu were stunned at the same time.

Looking at it from a distance, they still couldn't believe it, but when they got closer, they finally saw each other's face clearly.

Xie Luohe showed disbelief.

Zheng Xiu was dumbfounded.

Xie Luohe only thought of one person.

Zheng Xiu thought of two people at the same time.

that face is...

Xie Yunliu's face!
At the same time, it is also the face of the monk!
