Chapter 430: The Inner Court(1/2)
They met each other face to face, and the Jinghong Sword chopped off the ghost king's head.
Everything happened so suddenly that Li Baniang was so scared that she closed her eyes, but what greeted her was not death, but a burst of silence, and the sound of the sword being sheathed after the silence.
Both Dugujian and Zhong Yidao opened their eyes wide.
Fan Xiaodao's sword was so fast that neither of them saw how his sword was released.
If you look carefully, there are three broken fingers on the ground.
In other words, Fan Xiaodao's sword blow just now cut off his fingers first, relieving Li Baniang's crisis, and then decapitated him.
One move, two moves.
You must know that the Ghost King's martial arts are among the top ten in today's martial arts world. Although his body is extremely poisonous, the attack before his death is enough to destroy the world. Just the pressure of the fierce Qi,
It's already breathtaking.
His sharp claws are enough to cut iron and break gold.
Fan Xiaodao's sword showed no trace of true energy fluctuations.
How is this done?
If before, Dugu Jian and Zhong Yidao still had a bit of disdain for Fan Xiaodao, thinking that he was just lucky, then after this sword strike, the two of them no longer had any contempt for him. At least, they asked themselves that they could not use the method just now.
An extremely mysterious sword move.
Before entering the small courtyard, the two of them also told Fan Xiaodao to follow them closely to avoid being accidentally killed by Li Zhishan.
Zhong Yidao muttered, "How did his grandma do it?"
Dugujian shook his head, "Did you see clearly?"
Zhong Yidao said, "I only saw white flowers." He asked Fan Xiaodao, "Master Fan, what was the name of that sword just now?"
Fan Xiaodao thought for a moment and said, "It's probably the six paths of reincarnation!"
It's not that I'm trying to show off. Besides, there's nothing worth showing off about killing a dying person.
Fan Xiaodao's sword was not the real Six Paths of Reincarnation. It was different from the sword he used when he fought Li Juefei on Qingmen Peak.
It's just that this sword was based on the sword's intention and the sword's moves were forgotten.
Zhong Yidao is a swordsman and has no idea about this sword move, but Dugu Jian is a swordsman. After hearing the name, he became extremely excited, "Jinling Li family, the reincarnation of swordsmanship? Mr. Xiao Fan, unexpectedly
Have you learned this sword?"
Zhong Yidao asked, "I'm pretty awesome, but is this sword famous?"
Dugu Jian said excitedly: "Anyone who practices swordsmanship, who doesn't know that there are two kinds of swordsmanship in the world, one is the Li family's swordsmanship, and the other is other swordsmanship. The Six Paths of Reincarnation is said to be the second among the three most powerful swordsmanship in the world. You
Are you famous?"
Zhong Yidao curled his lips and said, "It's not you who can make you excited."
Dugu Jian asked, "Can you teach me the sword just now?"
Fan Xiaodao has no self-respect when it comes to martial arts. He and Zhao Xing often compete with each other and learn from each other. It’s just that each person’s talent and understanding are different. Like the move of Six Paths of Reincarnation, it is written in the sword manual
You have to have a set. When you actually fight, your opponent will not fight you according to the routines in the sword manual.
All he wants to do is take your life.
Therefore, those who learn swordsmanship, no matter how skillful the sword moves are, really understand the meaning of the sword and the way of the sword, not the sword moves themselves.
This is also a truth that Fan Xiaodao only realized after the battle with Li Juefei.
He had a good impression of the two Dugu Jian, who were several years older than him, so he smiled and said, "After the Holy Ceremony, we will have time to compare notes."
Hearing this, Dugu Jian became excited, fearing that Fan Xiaodao would regret it, "It's a deal!"
Fan Xiaodao asked curiously, "Then who won the bet between the two of you?"
The two of them smiled awkwardly.
"It's a joke for Mr. Xiao Fan to do what he does best."
Fan Xiaodao said, "He didn't win, and you didn't lose. Let's call it a draw. It doesn't matter if you come to me for discussion, but to practice the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the first thing is to nourish your Qi. If you can't go to a place like Tianxiang Yuan, try not to go there."
Already."
Zhong Yidao smiled and said, "The sword and the woman are his lifeblood. If you keep him away, it will be more uncomfortable than killing him!"
Dugu Jian said, "What is a woman? If you can learn the six paths of reincarnation, who would care about a woman?"
"Ha ha!"
The two laughed.
People from the Dengwen Department are doing the aftermath work.
As for the brothers who died in Dengwensi, Dugujian and Zhong Yidao didn't react at all. This is what they do. Life and death are determined by destiny, and wealth is in heaven. They have long been used to life and death, and have long taken a dim view of this matter. Last year and
During Master Zhuge's trip to the northern border, nine of the more than thirty people came back alive, and none of them looked miserable.
The Ghost King is dead, and the Dragon Temple has been destroyed.
The crisis tomorrow will be resolved.
For the Dengyi Department, it is just a daily routine. In the past six months, they have handled countless such cases.
But, is the danger over?
No one dares to guarantee it until the end of the holy ceremony.
The Northern Zhou Dynasty only sent those three assassins?
The Demon Cult just sent a ghost king?
These opponents are hiding in the dark, waiting for the opportunity. Even if the Department of Information is in place again, it is impossible to resolve all crises in advance. Fan Xiaodao even guessed that there will be more than one group of people in tomorrow's Holy Book who are ready to do evil things.
They may be able to resolve one or a few of the problems, but to nip them all in the bud is as difficult as going to heaven.
After Dugu Jian and Zhong Yidao left, Li Baniang came over and bowed, "Thank you, Mr. Fan, for saving your life."
Fan Xiaodao's expression changed and his voice became cold, "How did you get the Heavenly Mora Poison?"
Li Baniang was shocked when she heard this and was speechless.
The final determination of Sun Mengwu's case was that Li Zhili had committed treason and killed Sun Mengwu to silence him. Although Li Baniang suffered from prison, she finally made meritorious service and was released successfully. To deal with the ghost king Li Zhishan, Li Baniang used Tianmoluo again. However, she
I didn't expect that Fan Xiaodao would also be involved in this case.
"Sun Mengwu, you poisoned me, right?"
Li Baniang still didn't answer.
Fan Xiaodao asked again, "What is the relationship between Lan Zhili and you? Why did he admit to killing Sun Mengwu for you?"
Seeing Fan Xiaodao being so aggressive, Li Baniang could only say: "I was just following orders."
"Acting on orders, whose orders are you following? Master Zhuge?"
Li Baniang said softly: "Sun Mengwu was a spy of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Some important information fell into her hands. In order to prevent the information from leaking, I killed her myself."
"Intelligence? Is that the poem you mentioned? What exactly is it? Zhao Xing and I have been studying it for a long time. The plain text and secret copy you mentioned are of no use at all."
Li Baniang said: "The Dengwen Department has confidentiality regulations, so I can't say anything. If you want to ask, you can ask Mr. Zhuge."
Fan Xiaodao said: "Of course I will ask, but now I need you to give me an explanation!"
Li Baniang bit her lip and her expression became extremely calm, "My superior is Mr. Zhuge, I don't need to give you any explanation."
Zhuge Xianyu is hiding something from him!
This was Fan Xiaodao's inner intuition. At least in the case of Sun Mengwu, he knew the truth early on.
Fan Xiaodao would naturally not ask Zhuge Xianyu. If he wanted to say something, he would have told him already.
Moreover, Zhuge Xianyu has no time to bother with him now.
He has been waiting in Xiyuan for an hour.
A few young eunuchs were serving tea and snacks in the side hall. No one dared to show any slightness to the fourth-rank chief of the six-door arrest. Even the third-rank court officials would not be so concerned.
.People outside the palace may not know, but everyone in the palace knows that Master Zhuge is a frequent visitor to the palace.
As people around the Tian family, they can see that their eyebrows are high and their eyes are low.
In addition to the ancestor in the inner court, Mr. Xue of Jinyiwei, the most respected person in the outer court is Lord Zhuge.
Moreover, unlike Eunuch Zhao and Duke Xue, this Lord Zhuge really dares to speak out in front of His Majesty and dares to talk back to His Majesty. I heard that twenty years ago, Lord Zhuge blocked a sword for Your Majesty.
He is considered to be His Majesty's savior. It stands to reason that with such great achievements, a rise to fame is just around the corner. However, precisely because of his temper, he has always been in the fourth rank official position, and his ancestor, Xue Guogong,
He has long been a highly respected minister.
Different from other officials who meet the saint, others are trembling, cautious, and dare not show off their dignity. Some even practice here repeatedly how to greet the saint, what tone to use, and what to say when they meet the saint, but Master Zhuge does not
Regardless of any restraint, he treated the young eunuchs with a gentle tone and chatted with them tepidly, about everything from the food in the palace to whether their winter clothes were warm, etc., which made the young eunuchs feel that Master Zhuge was very down-to-earth.
.
What's more important is that Lord Zhuge never takes the opportunity to inquire about matters in the palace.
