Reincarnation of the powerful minister

Chapter 117

Beizhen Fusi.

The information from many sects and organizations in the rivers and lakes is continuously gathered here from the secret agents of Jinyiwei in various divisions and states, and then handed over to another group of spies who are accustomed to sorting out and comparing information for review and extraction.

As the one giving orders, Shen Qi only needs to wait for the results after their screening.

In the hall, some guards in brocade clothes hurriedly walked, some communicated in low voices, and some were busy at their desks. The whole organization was running quietly and efficiently.The sorted information was presented to the chief officer one by one.

Shen Qi flipped through the paper in her hand, her eyes stayed on one page -

Hidden Sword Gate.Created by the swordsman Xiao Yin during the Zhenghe period of the Song Dynasty, there have been ups and downs for hundreds of years, but now the talents are withered and the inheritance is almost cut off.

Xiao Yin founded Yinjianmen, with the original intention of using violence to control violence, cutting off evil and eradicating adultery, especially punishing corrupt officials and violent officials.The disciples of this sect call themselves "Heroic Assassins". In the early days, the masters were still able to stand upright. In the Yuan Dynasty, the rule was brutal and the people had no means of living.

After Emperor Taizu of Daming established his dynasty, Yinjianmen withdrew from the arena in order to avoid being cut by the court because of his deep collusion with the old dignitaries, and his whereabouts are unknown.

"It sounds nice to call it a chivalrous assassin, but it's actually an assassin." Wei Ying, a Qianhu who was punished, sat down beside Shen Qi, and handed over a few thin sheets of paper, "My lord, please look, this is the martial artist of this sect. What they have learned and what they have committed, but they are hidden in the wild, difficult to inquire about, and there is very little information."

He and Shi Yanshuang, who was in charge of Qianhu, were both confidantes who were pulled up by Shen Qi after Su Yan took the opportunity to eliminate Feng Dang and thoroughly sorted out Jin Yiwei.The two of them had followed Shen Qi for nearly ten years. As old subordinates, they were more casual when talking to Shangguan.

Shen Qi flipped through it, and said: "It's true that the information is scarce and superficial, but there are still things to pay attention to."

He pointed to one of the lines: "Look here. It is said that there is a secret technique in Yinjianmen, which can confuse people's minds and minds. It is especially effective when used in assassinations. Outsiders don't know what this technique is called, but because the pupils are like blood when it is performed, it is called it. It is 'ghost pupil'."

"His pupils are like blood...ghost pupils..." Wei Ying murmured, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "I remember, His Royal Highness said that the man in black who assassinated him had a pair of scarlet and weird eyes! Is this related to the secret technique of Hidden Sword Sect?"

Shen Qi nodded: "It's very possible."

Wei Ying stood up and said, "Since the clue points to the Yinjian Gate, no matter how deep it is hidden, we can still find it by digging three feet!"

"No hurry." Shen Qi motioned him to sit down, "There is still a snake."

"The silver ring snake that bit the prince? My lord, to be honest, this snake is not very easy to find. Although there is no such snake in the capital area, it is widely distributed in the Central Plains, including Nanzhili, Huguang, Jiangxi, Fujian and other places. If you want to find out The source is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack."

Shen Qi also knew it was difficult to check.Such a small snake, even if the capital is under martial law, all the entrances and exits are blocked, and all the doors are searched, it will not be found.

"Maybe this snake was raised by Yinjianmen to assist in the assassination. Why don't we go straight to Huanglong and wipe out Yinjianmen." Wei Ying suggested.

Shen Qi thought for a moment, and then slowly said: "I always feel that this snake is strange. Although the Yinjianmen are keen on assassination, they are also sincere in swordsmanship. From the information collected, even if the school has been absent for a hundred years, it is still proud of its swordsmanship. Quenching poison on a sword is possible, but raising poisonous snakes and insects to kill people is not like their style."

After hearing this, Wei Ying felt that it made sense, so she couldn't help but frowned, "If there is another person behind the poisonous snake, will Yinjianmen join forces with him, or be ordered by him? What is the collusion between the two, and what is the purpose? ?”

"All of this is just speculation and needs to be confirmed by evidence." Shen Qi put the information on the table, and tapped with her index finger, "We can't startle the snake, but we can lure the snake out of the hole."

"How to lead?"

"The best bait is, of course, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The people behind the scenes want to kill him. If they fail to kill him, they will naturally not give up. If the Crown Prince is used as bait to catch a 'snake', the chances of winning will be the greatest."

Wei Ying's complexion turned pale, and she stuttered as she looked at Shen Qi with a calm face: "My lord... That's the prince, the heir apparent! How could it be used for it... Impossible..."

Shen Qi twitched the corners of her mouth slightly mockingly: "I know it's impossible. I just said that if I do this, the probability of catching a 'snake' is the greatest."

Wei Ying breathed a sigh of relief.He knew Shangguan's temper, and he was afraid that in case of madness, he would sacrifice himself and the entire Beizhen governor.

But after thinking about it, Shen Qilang seldom was crazy, but more when he was shrewd.Besides, even if the sword is slanted, this master will definitely ensure his own safety first.In order to survive and climb up, how far Shen Qi can go, and how ruthless, tenacious and tenacious he is, he has seen it clearly for so many years.

"What is your lord going to do?" Wei Ying asked trustingly.

Shen Qi said: "The best thing to do is the next best thing, I'll be the bait."

"grown ups--"

"Yes. I'm in charge of this case. I just need to spread the word that I, Shen Qi, have found out about Yin Jianmen. Not only do I want to catch them all, but I also want to thoroughly investigate all the collaborators behind the scenes, and I already have some clues. They heard You must be unable to sit still, and the easiest and most effective way to get out of the predicament is to kill me. Then destroy the information and files related to the case, so that those who take over the case will be unable to investigate further."

Wei Ying admitted that Shen Tong knew Master Shen was scheming and ruthless, but this kind of hot method could be directed at her, which is beyond the tolerance of ordinary people.

He really wanted to persuade Shen Qi not to take risks lightly, but he also knew that since the other party said it, he had already made up his mind, and no one else could shake it.

Wei Ying sighed: "Sometimes in a humble position, it's really hard to tell whether an adult values ​​life or despises life and death."

Shen Qi sneered: "Of course I cherish my life. It's just that I'm used to walking on the cliff, even if I'm given a flat road, I'll just take the fastest and most convenient one. This case is of great importance, and the higher ups are pressing hard, so don't show any strength , how to let them see my ability?"

Wei Ying had no choice but to nod: "My lord must be this bait, at least ambush the reinforcements, go and call Shi Qianhu over here, and plan together..."

Ten days later, it was August [-]th, the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Yulu washes the autumn sky, and a full moon shines on the capital and Qingshuiying in Lingzhou at the same time.

The same lights are like daylight, and the same cups of wine are intertwined.

In the temporary mansion of Qingshuiying, Su Yan received a round of toasts from the brocade guards at the same table, and left the table drunk to return to the house.In the dark shadow of the tree behind him was a pair of scarlet eyes, staring at him full of fanaticism and longing.

Late at night in the Wangxian Tower in the capital city, Shen Qi threw off the Hua Niang who stepped forward to support her, walked out of the gate of the restaurant with fluttering steps, turned on her mount, and recognized the way home with her drunken eyes.

He squinted his eyes, pointed to and fro with his whip, and finally stopped on one of the roads, hiccupped: "... this way!"

Two of his subordinates, Xiao Qi, followed out worriedly, and wanted to escort him back to the mansion.

Shen Qi said with her tongue out: "No... use you, go, go! I can go back... home by myself!"

He whipped hard on the horse's buttocks, and the horse licked its painful hooves, and jumped more than ten feet away in the blink of an eye.Shen Qi lowered her head and struggled with the reins that had scattered into several shadows. As for the two Xiao Qi who shouted something indistinctly behind, they had long been swallowed up by the overheard wind.

Fortunately, good horses know the way, and they run well on their own through the streets and alleys, so the knight doesn't need to bother.

Halfway through the bump, Shen Qi suddenly reined in the reins, couldn't wait to get off the saddle, supported the trunk of the weeping willow tree by the road, and vomited after a while.

The ground is in a mess, and the acid wind blows away.A nearby watchman held his nose and hurried past, but there were no other pedestrians.

Outside the weeping willow is a small river, the water surface is dark, reflecting the faint lights in the distance.Inside the weeping willow is a bluestone path, and further inside is a powder wall.The teachers and students of the academy were on vacation, and even the night watchman went home for the reunion festival, and there was darkness and silence inside the whitewashed walls.

Shen Qi vomited twice in a row, her stomach barely settled down, left the willow tree, staggered to the river and knelt down, scooped up water with her palm to rinse her mouth and face.

The cold river water made him seem to be awake for three minutes. He wiped off the water droplets on his face with his hands, and was about to get up and return to his mount——

A swift and strange sword light, like a swimming snake, shot out from the deep water, piercing his front.

Jian Guang was extremely fast and cunning, Shen Qi only had time to tilt her head back, reluctantly avoiding this fatal blow.

At the same time, a group of black shadows broke through the water amidst the splashing waves.

The sword light was like a meteor like lightning, Shen Qi was dragged by drunkenness, it seemed that she couldn't even pull out a knife, so she could only roll sideways to avoid the sword wind.

Rolling, staggering, falling forward, falling back, every attack he avoided was very embarrassing, as if he was about to die from the sword in the next second, but every attack seemed to be lucky, and he was always unable to wipe the sword Feng flashed.

Jian Guang was even faster, several cracks appeared on Shen Qi's robe, he took a breath and jumped up to the top of the powder wall, before falling into the courtyard unsteadily.

The man in black and Jian Guang were in one body, chasing after his vest, seeing his heart shuddering.

In mid-air, Shen Qi twisted her waist violently, shook out the iron chains hidden in her sleeves before, wrapped around the edge of the sword, and also wrapped the arm holding the sword to death.

The man in black felt something strange, his face under the hood suddenly lifted, and a pair of ghostly scarlet eyes looked straight at Shen Qi.

With awe in her heart, Shen Qi turned her face away ahead of time, not making contact with his eyes, her hands kept moving, and firmly clasped the buckle at one end of the iron chain to the other's arm.

This iron chain is wound around the back and staggered, once tightened and buckled, it locks the direction of the true energy in the meridian, even if he has wings on his back, he can't escape, it is a sharp weapon specially used by martial arts practitioners.

Shen Qi spun behind the man in black, buckled the second lock, and pushed him to the ground.

However, the black hood on the back of his head suddenly fell off, revealing a face covered with a veil, his scarlet eyes were like a sea of ​​blood whirlpools, trying to devour people's souls and suck in their minds——

The moment before his consciousness was distorted, Shen Qi suddenly realized: it wasn't that he had two faces, but that the front one was a mask worn on the back of his head, and this one was the real face.

The assassin didn't know what contortion technique he had practiced, and his joints could bend like a snake. The moment he realized that he had been tricked, he turned his face almost behind him, and used the mask on his head to hide his eyes. He looked at his blood pupil.

The Hidden Sword Sect deserves to be passed down for hundreds of years. Not only is its figure light and cunning, but its swordsmanship is as fast as lightning, and even these tricks and tricks are hard to guard against.

The moment he fell into the Fascinated Realm, Shen Qi seemed to hear sharp shouts and the sound of swords coming from all directions, completely engulfing him.
