The First Great Ancestor of the Five Dynasties

Chapter 466: Sadness and sadness

"What do you want to do?"

Zhao Kuangyi saw Zhu Xiu's strange and malicious smile on his face, and a long, gleaming knife was held between his neck. He couldn't help but tremble with his legs and screamed angrily as if he was pretending to be strong.

Zhu Xiu shook his folding fan and stepped forward. Zhao Er was shorter than him, so he could look down at him from a high position.

"Zhao Erlang, your brother and I are brothers, and we are several years older. Logically speaking, you are a junior, and I should not be on the same level as you.

But you designed to deceive the women in my house with evil intentions and offended my house first. Should I settle this debt with you? "

Zhu Xiu seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

Zhao Kuangyi raised his head and snorted: "I don't know what you are talking about!"

Bizhen Seal's eyes widened, and he exerted force with the Yanling Knife in his palm. The sharp blade touched his neck, leaving a clear blood mark. Zhao Kuangyi felt waves of stinging pain, and was so frightened that he lost his mind and screamed:
"Zhu Xiu! Don't do this nonsense!"

Zhu Xiu sneered: "How long do you think you can pretend that you can't bear this little flesh wound?"

For the first time in his life, Zhao Kuangyi had a knife held to his neck. The cold air from the blade announced the aura of death, like an iron pincer strangling his throat, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Ma Qing glanced at his two trembling legs like chaff, and said with a strange smile: "Lao Bi, please take it easy, don't scare Zhao Langjun to the point of peeing!"

Bi Zhenhai smiled ferociously: "Don't worry! I've chopped off hundreds of heads with this knife. If I say it's half an inch, it won't be three centimeters!"

Zhao Kuangyi felt that the blade of the sword was a little heavier on his shoulders. He clenched his teeth and his face turned earth-colored.

Zhou Xian panicked and said, “Don’t hurt anyone!”

Zhu Xiu glanced at her and said hehe: "Ehuang, you were deceived by this boy! He knew that you were a female member of the Hou Mansion and one of mine. He followed you for more than half a month and even paid someone to perform a show. The purpose of this good show of a hero saving a beauty is to deceive you!"

Zhou Xian was startled, his almond-shaped eyes full of doubt: "Seriously?"

Zhao Kuangyi hurriedly yelled: "Miss Zhou, don't listen to his nonsense! I happened to pass by that day and saw that Madam Zhou was in danger, so I came to my rescue."

Zhu Xiu shook his head, his face full of sarcasm: "I didn't want to expose you in public, but I wanted to save your brother's face. Since you are so ignorant, don't blame me for being merciless!

Lao Ma, bring the people up! "

Ma Qing responded and ran downstairs.

Zhu Xiu had two chairs brought in and called to Zhou Xian: "Ehuang, come and sit down. If there is a good show, please take your time to watch it!"

"Hmph~" Zhou Xian was still angry with him and turned away to ignore it.

Zhu Xiu curled her lips and walked over to hold her hand. Regardless of the girl's struggle, she pushed her to the chair and sat down.

"Sit down! If you dare to show off your temper again, let's see how I deal with you when I get back! I'll lock you in a dark room for two days before we talk!"

Zhu Xiu was half intimidating and half threatening, and he was flattering with a coveted face: "Oh dear Emperor E, if we have any disagreements, we should talk about it behind closed doors. We can't let outsiders see the joke!"

Zhou Xian gave him a look: "Who is dating you? Don't be ashamed!"

Angry and angry, Zhou Xian still sat down obediently, but turned his face away and didn't want to pay attention to him, with a bit of blush on his cheeks.

Zhu Xiu smiled playfully and sat down next to her, gently shaking the folding fan to fan the beauty.

Zhao Kuangyi's eyes widened when he saw it, and he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. This scene was clearly a quarrel between a young couple, and the intimacy revealed unintentionally pierced his heart like an awl, and the flames of jealousy and resentment burned brightly.

Soon, Ma Qing led someone to escort a man with disheveled hair and blood all over his body upstairs.

The brother from the Zangfeng camp hit him hard on the crook of his knee with a scabbard. The man screamed and fell to his knees in front of Zhu Xiu.

Zhou Xian exclaimed, feeling a little restless.

Zhu Xiu had no expression on her face and still shook her folding fan lightly.

The moment Zhao Kuangyi saw this person, his eyes almost popped out.

"Ehuang, take a closer look. Do you recognize him?" Zhu Xiu said lightly.

Zhou Xian bravely looked at it carefully, covered his mouth and said in shock: "It's him!"

This man had obviously been beaten violently, but his face had not changed much. Zhou Xian recognized him as the leader of the gangsters yesterday.

Ma Qing grabbed his hair, turned his head to face Zhao Kuangyi, and shouted, "Do you know him?"

The man tried his best to open his bruised eyelids and see Zhao Kuangyi's face clearly. He nodded vigorously in horror and cried: "That's him! That's the kid! He gave the villain 250 yuan and asked the villain to summon his brothers to help him act. Gentlemen, it’s really none of the villain’s business when it comes to a show, it’s this kid who is causing trouble behind his back. Woohoo~”

Ma Qing slapped him: "Do you know his background?"

"I know, I know. He said he is the second son of General Zhao's family, and he lives on Chongmingmen Nei Street. I have inquired about it, and it is indeed true," the man sobbed.

Zhao Kuangyi's face turned pale.

Zhou Xian bit his thin lips and glared at him angrily.

I thought he was my savior, but I didn't expect that he was just a libertine who played tricks to make women happy.

"Mrs. Zhou, I~" Zhao Kuangyi was deeply hurt by that look, but couldn't find the words to explain.

Zhou Xian angrily yelled: “Despicable!”

Her almond-shaped eyes were full of hatred, and she turned her head away not wanting to look at him again. She felt sick even if she took another look at him.

Zhu Xiu waved his hand and Ma Qing ordered people to drag the man down.

There were blood stains all the way, and cries for mercy all the way, which reached Zhao Kuangyi's ears like the sound of a ghost urging him to death.

Bi Zhenhai sheathed his sword, pushed Zhao Kuangyi, and held him in front of Zhu Xiu.

"Zhao Erlang, what else do you have to say?" Zhu Xiu crossed Erlang's legs and said with a smile.

Zhao Kuangyi was still stubborn and gritted his teeth and said: "'My fair lady, a gentleman is so jealous'! I fell in love with Mrs. Zhou at first sight and fell in love with her. I want to take this opportunity to get close to her. Why not?"

Zhou Xian was angry and ashamed, and couldn't help scolding: "Shut up!"

Zhu Xiu folded the folding fan with a bang and said with a strange expression: "You know she is mine, but you still dare to seduce her. What do you mean? Deliberate provocation? Don't take me, Zhu Xiu, seriously?"

Zhao Kuangyi sneered: "It's true that you brought Madam Zhou back from Jiangning! As a daughter of the Tang Dynasty, she is willing to travel far away for you, but how did you treat her?

You are ungrateful, betrayed your oath, clung to the high branches of the Fu family, and betrayed Madam Zhou's love. You are not worthy of having such a beautiful woman! "

Speaking of excitement, Zhao Kuangyi's face turned red.

Zhu Xiu opened his eyes wide and wanted to laugh. He never knew that Zhao Er was a big lover!
In the eyes of this boy, he, Zhu Xiu, is the heartless Chen Shimei, and he is the good man Wang Yanling who saves the poor wife!

Zhou Xian stood up in a loud voice, holding up his skirt and ran downstairs, his cheeks seemed to be wet with tears.

The hall on the second floor was silent. Everyone stared at Zhu Xiu with wide eyes, waiting for his next order.Zhu Xiu leaned on her chair and narrowed her eyes slightly: "Boy, even so, Mrs. Zhou is still a member of my family. It seems that it is not your turn to interfere in the affairs between us, right?"

Zhao Kuangyi puffed up his chest and said: "When the road is rough, I draw my sword to help. I will definitely help Mrs. Zhou escape from the sea of ​​suffering!"

Zhu Xiu pointed at him and laughed angrily.

Zhao Er clearly wanted to go against him sincerely.

Zhu Xiu stood up and patted his shoulder: "Boy, the world is dangerous. You should go back and study for two more years and be your yamen. Even if you want to steal a woman, you should keep your eyes bright. It's not the turn of Kaifeng City yet." It’s time for you to walk sideways!
For Zhao Da’s sake, I won’t argue with you this time. There will be another time, hehe~~”

Zhao Kuangyi pushed his hand away with force, glared fiercely, walked two steps, stood at the top of the stairs, turned back and said coldly: "Zhu Xiu, others say that you are unparalleled in resourcefulness and that your talents and learning are rare in the world. I, Zhao Kuangyi, prefer it." Do not believe!
In my opinion, your current status is just a matter of chance and deception. People like you are at best sycophants like Yang Guozhong and Li Linfu!
Once the government is in chaos and the imperial line is lost, treacherous and evil people like you will take the opportunity to use your power to disrupt the country and bring disaster to the world!

One day, the world will see your true face clearly! "

After a pause, Zhao Kuangyi stared coldly and smiled evilly: "I will definitely take Madam Zhou away from you!"

After saying that, Zhao Kuangyi turned to leave. Zhu Xiu raised his hand and shouted: "Wait a minute!"

Zhao Kuangyi stopped and turned around, sneering again and again.

Zhu Xiu walked forward slowly and stood at the top of the stairs, expressionless: "That's it, you go~"

Zhao Kuangyi snorted proudly. As soon as he turned around, a strong force suddenly came from his buttocks. He fell forward and rolled down the stairs with a howl!

"Hahaha~"

Ma Qing, Bi Zhenhai and a group of brothers laughed loudly.

Zhao Kuangyi's nose was bruised and his face was swollen from the fall, and his forehead was bruised and bleeding. He endured the pain and got up, gritting his teeth toward the second floor: "Zhu Xiu! You and I are incompatible!"

Zhu Xiu curled her lips and replied dryly: "Okay, I'll wait!"

"Hmph~" Zhao Kuangyi groaned angrily and walked away angrily.

Zhu Xiu stood on the second floor and watched the boy ride away.

It has to be said that Zhao Er, the second-year middle school boy, has a vicious eye. Everyone knows that Zhu Xiu is the pillar of the country and a rare loyal minister and sage. However, Zhao Er has only seen him a few times and dares to conclude that he is a kind of evil person like Yang Guozhong and Li Linfu. , A great treacherous person looks like a loyal person.

Although Yang and Li were models of treacherous ministers, they were indeed commendable in their power and strategy.

Everything has two sides, and Zhu Xiu will naturally not be like Yang Li, but under the current general trend, he has to learn the methods of Yang Li to protect himself.

"Zhao Er, Zhao Er, when you Zhao family brothers see the general situation of the world clearly, you will have the same thoughts as me.
The so-called disobedience is often nothing more than a means of self-protection when you see clearly the direction of the general trend."

Zhu Xiu shook his head and muttered silently in his heart.

Zhao Er compared him to the treacherous officials of Yang and Lizhi, but he was not angry, what was angry was that this kid dared to utter wild words in front of his face, saying something cruel about taking Mrs. Zhou back.
This is a bit unbearable, the little bastard is determined to steal the woman from him!

"Master Marquis, do you want me to find an opportunity to teach this ignorant boy a lesson?" Bi Zhenhai said fiercely.

Zhu Xiu smiled and said, "No problem, after all, I have a good friendship with his brother Zhao Da."

After a pause, Zhu Xiu said: "In this case, Lao Ma sent people to spread the news and publicize how Zhao Er deceived other women's families, how he was blackmailed by a group of gangsters, and how he was beaten up by the women's husband's family!
Zhao Er is so shameless, I will let him be embarrassed! "

Ma Qing and Bi Zhenhai looked at each other and smiled mischievously. Compared with Mr. Hou, the sinister and treacherous boy named Zhao was a little more tender.

"What should we do with the gangster leader?" Ma Qing asked again.

Zhu Xiu said calmly: "These people dare to do evil things for money even though they know that Madam Zhou is a female concubine of my Hou family, which shows that our Hou family's deterrence is not enough.

Kill the leader and let all the green-skinned gangsters in Kaifeng know the consequences of offending my Hou Mansion! "

Ma Qing smiled ferociously and said, "I'll do it now, little man!"

He called the steward of the teahouse to comfort him and left five taels of silver ingots. Zhu Xiu took Zhou Xian with him and took a carriage back home.

Along the way, Zhu Xiu closed her eyes and thought about something. Seeing that he was silent, Zhou Xian couldn't help but said: "What did you do to Zhao Langjun?"

Zhu Xiu glanced at her and saw the girl's face full of concern. She felt a little annoyed and said sarcastically: "Why, are you worried that I will throw your little lover into the Bian River to feed the fish?"

Zhou Xian shuddered, looking at him in disbelief, biting his lips, his almond-shaped eyes filled with grievances, quickly accumulating mist.

Zhu Xiu knew that he had made a mistake, but could not save his face, so he said calmly: "He is a general's son after all. What can I, a young prince, do to him? Don't worry, he left in a big way."

Zhou Xian turned his head and wiped his tears, his shoulders shook, and a slight cry could be heard in the carriage.

Zhu Xiu originally wanted to comfort her with a few words, but then she thought that this girl was still too naive. This time, she wanted to let her know how powerful she was, so that she would not run out without even saying hello.

The hidden stakes in the Zangfeng Camp cannot stay away, and she must know that Kaifeng City is not peaceful.

Zhu Xiu said coldly: "Fortunately, Zhao Er didn't dare to do anything bad, otherwise when he kidnaps you, you, a weak woman, won't know how to cry!
From now on, you are not allowed to leave the house without saying a word. No matter where you go, you must let Ma Qing know and ask him to arrange for car drivers and manpower protection in advance.

Humph~ You decisively rejected that boy just now and you didn’t let me down. If you let me know that you have other thoughts in your heart, I’ll

Zhou Xian looked directly at him with tearful and swollen eyes, and mocked: "What will you do? Kick me out? Or reward Bai Ling with poisonous wine and let me commit suicide?"

Zhu Xiu was speechless and said angrily: "That won't happen. It's just that you are mine and no one can take it away from you!"

Zhou Xian looked at him with some disappointment and strangeness in his eyes. He leaned against the carriage, closed his eyes and curled up, and stopped talking.

The atmosphere in the carriage was dull, and Zhu Xiu felt irritable. He opened the curtain and jumped out of the carriage, waving to Bi Zhenhai to escort Zhou Xian back home first.

Summoning the driver who had driven Zhou Xian to Jingdezhen earlier, Zhu Xiu asked, "Do you know where Madam Zhou is going today?"

The coachman hurriedly said: "Back to Lord Marquis, Madam Zhou is going to Tiefo Temple."

Zhu Xiu frowned and said, "Why did she go to Tiefo Temple?"

The coachman said cautiously: "Ms. Zhou heard that Master Jinguang, the abbot of Tiefo Temple, has profound Buddhist teachings and that the protective spells given by him are miraculous and efficacious, so she wanted to ask for a copy from the Marquis."

Zhu Xiu was stunned, "Seriously?"

The coachman hurriedly said: "How dare you deceive the Marquis! Madam Zhou heard that many officials and their families would go to Tiefo Temple to ask Master Jinguang for a protective spell so that they could bless their children who are officials at home, so she asked the villain to Take her there
It's just that Master Jinguang only opens the altar to give spells on the sixth, sixteenth, and twenty-sixth day of each month at the right time. Every time for half an hour, no matter who you are, they have to queue up, and it's gone as soon as the hour passes.

Mrs. Zhou missed it twice last month. She wanted to queue up more than two hours in advance this time, but she didn’t expect it.”

The coachman kept silent.

Zhu Xiu smiled bitterly and waved his hand to indicate to the coachman that he could leave.

Unexpectedly, Na Nizi would not look good all day long, but she still worried about his safety in her heart.

Zhu Xiu felt disappointed and patted her forehead in frustration.

It was all Zhao Er's fault, which made the estrangement and conflict between him and Zhou Xian even worse.

Little bastard, I'm not finished with you!
