Chapter 94: Unpredictable

Yuan Ba ​​said solemnly: "Jiannei was infected with the wind and cold today, and the soup did not get in. Only the Mipuguo rewarded by your Majesty can barely be swallowed. Therefore, the Weichen dare to ask your Majesty for some Mipuguo."
When Emperor Qing heard the words, he turned his head and turned to Li Ying and smiled: "Li Ying, this time Yunshao Kingdom's tribute to the Mi Pu Guo, how much is left, send someone to take it and give it to Yuan Ba."
Li Ying hurriedly responded and ordered the little to send the order.
Emperor Qing sighed to Yuan Ba ​​and said: "I just appreciate your love and righteous temperament. You go back and take care of your wife. Later, I will send someone to send Mipuguo to the mansion."
Yuan Ba ​​hurriedly thanked him and left.
That night, Emperor Qing sent eight Mi Pu Guo to Yuan Mansion, plus the original Mi Pu Guo in Yuan Ba ​​Mansion, but only a dozen. Mipu fruit is a tribute, and it is extremely scarce in Dayu Kingdom. If Yuan Ba ​​hadn't personally gone to Qingdi to ask for it, I might not have collected more than ten.
However, a dozen or so, for a dog to take, I am afraid it is enough.
Yuan Ba ​​instructed the maid: "Go, bring the little pet dog raised by the son here."
The maid didn’t know what Yuan Ba’s move meant, because Yuan Ba ​​had always disapproved of Yuan Shu’s keeping pets, so what did he want to do? !
The night is fading, and even more leaky.
The night breeze blows in from the hollow window lattices, the candlelight in the house flickers, and the layers of curtains roll with the wind.
Qin Jiu leaned on the bed, took off his red outer garment, and put on a pure black shirt. She tied her long hair thinly in a bun on top of her head, and finally put on a mask. She was about to go out, but after thinking about it, she took a sword and held a sword flower in her hand. Feeling that it was easy, she opened the door and went out.
Under the dim moonlight outside, a black loquat stood solemnly. Seeing Qin Jiu, he frowned and said, "The typhoid fever is just right, do you have to go tonight?"
After taking the medicine prescribed by Cai Zongfeng for more than ten days, her wind chill has been cured. Although her body is still a little weak, she still has to do some things. She smiled softly and said, "I'm just working hard and counting the days. The dog in Yuan Ba's house is probably dead. Tonight, we must take a trip."
Loquat nodded helplessly.
The two quietly left the house, leaping westward along the quiet streets, and not long after they arrived outside Yuan Ba's house.
Yuan Ba’s mansion was also built in Jinxiufang, but in the end it was only the commanding mansion, which was a bit crude compared to Anling Palace and Yan Palace. Qin Jiu and Loquat stood outside the white wall of the Commander's Mansion, and saw no one being followed, and they turned over and entered the wall.
Sitting in the study, Yuan Ba ​​heard the maid telling her that the dog was dead. His hand shook slightly, the tea cup in his hand poured out, and the hot tea spilled out and burned his fingers. He put the tea cup on the table, the expression in his deep eyes changed, and the veins on his forehead were violent.
The dog, he ordered people to feed it with cypress fruit and medicine to heal the wind and cold. He didn't expect it, but within a few days, it really died.
Yuan Ba ​​walked around the house a few times with his hands under his hands, like a sleepy beast, after a dozen or so laps, he finally couldn't help opening the door and walking out.
In the night, a sword light volleyed along with the strong wind.
Yuan Ba ​​was shocked. He was upset just now, and with his martial arts, he didn't notice anyone in the courtyard. He sneered, and moved away from him to one side, avoiding the deadly sword, but he was cold-hearted, and there was also a sword light on the other side.
Yuan Ba ​​screamed badly in his heart, but at this moment, he saw that the sword that was originally pierced at him seemed to be hit by something, and it fell to the ground with a "clang". He evaded the sword and stood still in front of the porch. Only then did he find that a large number of assassins had already arrived in the yard, all masked in black scarves, and there seemed to be more than a dozen people.
As the leader of Xiaoqi, Yuan Ba ​​has outstanding martial arts, and he did not put these assassins in his eyes. However, when fighting against these assassins, he discovered that these people were actually first-class masters, and each of them was ruthless and merciless, obviously killing him.
He yelled coldly: "Who is so daring to come to my house to assassinate, tonight, I will let you all come and go!" Yuan Ba ​​was really angry, and he was merciless.
These assassins were obviously well-trained and no one spoke. They formed a square formation, surrounded Yuan Ba ​​in a circle, cooperated with each other, and silently attacked Yuan Ba ​​with one sword after another. Stabbed.
As the leader of Xiaoqi, Yuan Ba ​​also had military soldiers in his mansion. Yuan Ba ​​prided himself on his martial arts and never let the soldiers patrol at night, so these soldiers were already asleep.
After all, double fists are hard to beat with four hands. Although each of these assassins' martial arts is far from Yuan Ba's, but they joined hands and arranged the formation, Yuan Ba ​​was a bit difficult to deal with, and Yuan Ba ​​gradually The wind has fallen.
In the courtyard outside Yuan Ba's study, a peach tree was planted.
Qin Jiu stood under the tree with his hands in his hands, squinted at the fighting in the courtyard, and looked up at the night sky above his head.
The night sky was deep and vast, and a few stars shone on the sky, making the dark sky unfathomable.
In this world, what is unfathomable is not only the night sky overhead, but many things are also unfathomable.
But the most unfathomable thing, Qin Jiu felt, was still popular.
People's hearts are unpredictable, heaven is unpredictable, and fate is unpredictable.
If she and loquat do not come to Yuan Mansion tonight, what will be the fate of Yuan Ba?
"Loquats, go and help Master Yuan! Remember, none of them can let them run away, and there is no need to keep alive." Qin Jiu said lightly.
Loquat drew out the sword, and the whole person floated forward. His body was so strange that he looked like a shadow of smoke. The loquat's kung fu, the entry is really fast. He rushed into the formation, his whole body rushed, the black shadow flew, and the blue light swallowed. Yuan Ba ​​also got a shock, and the two cooperated with each other to attack, only to hear the sound of "croaking", and at the same time the sound of crying.
An assassin found that he was in a weak position, and then retreated quietly, and was about to flee.
As soon as he fled to the tree, he saw a person standing under the peach blossom tree. The person stood with his hand in his hand. He looked frail and didn't seem to have martial arts. He was dressed elegantly in black, with a face mask on his face, revealing only a pair of black and white eyes.
When the assassin passed this person, he had to escape over the wall. But seeing that man took a step forward, in an instant, the assassin felt that a burst of fierce innocence seemed to be coming.
The assassin was shocked, he suddenly raised his head, and saw the moonlight and the light shining each other, and the coldness in the eyes under the mask of the man in black faintly in front of him was as cold as snow, and it was breathtaking.
The assassin was surprised, but fortunately he was agile, turned around and slashed at the man in black.
The black-clothed man smiled coldly, stretched out his hand and waved gently, flexing his fingers, hitting the blade. The assassin only felt a tingle on his wrist, and he could hardly hold the knife in his hand. He was shocked and said, "Who are you? Why do you want to be nosy?"
Under the faint moonlight, Qin Jiu stood tall, his black clothes fluttered gently in the wind, as if the orchid came out of a deep valley, but the whole body style was a light wind and Jiyue. She sneered: "If you want to know who I am, let me write it to you!"
She moved her right wrist abruptly, using the sword as a pen to move in the air. She was calm and relaxed, as if she was learning Chinese characters in a boudoir, her movements were smooth and elegant. When the man could see that the words seemed to be the two words "Hunhun", Qin Jiu's sword had picked up his two wrists, and he could only hear a "clam", the knife in his hand fell, and blood flowed from both hands and wrists. , Qin Jiu had already broken the hand muscles.
Looking at Qin Jiu again, she still stood quietly, as if she had never taken a shot.
Loquat and Yuan Ba ​​have also defeated those who besieged them. The soldiers in Yuan's mansion heard the movement and rushed over.
Qin Jiu took the sword in his hand and pointed at the loquat who had broken his hand muscles and said, "This person is the leader, take him in." He said that he took the loquat and retreated straight into Yuan Ba's study, "Master Yuan, I Please forgive me if it is inconvenient for people to see."
Yuan Ba ​​ordered the soldiers to clean up the corpses on the ground, retreated from the soldiers, and walked to the study with an iron face.
Under the candlelight swaying, I saw two men in black sitting and standing, it can be seen that they are masters and servants. Under the ground in front of them, kneeling the leader of the assassin who had just captured.
Yuan Ba ​​clasped his fist and asked, "Thank you for saving each other. I don't know who the two are?"
Qin Jiu smiled and said, "Master Yuan doesn't need to rush to ask who I am, but first ask who sent this person!"
Yuan Ba ​​turned his eyes to the assassin who was kneeling on the ground, narrowed his eyes, and said coldly: "Say, who sent you here? Otherwise, this lord will immediately throw you into prison."
The assassin said with a panic expression: "My lord, the villain is just acting on orders to take people's money and eliminate disasters. I don't know who the benefactor is. I heard from the master that it is because of the grievances on the rivers and lakes. I wonder if the adults have offended the people of the rivers and lakes. ."
Yuan Ba ​​walked around the rivers and lakes many years ago, but there was a lot of grievances, and he frowned upon hearing this.
Qin Jiu smiled and said, "Does Lord Yuan believe it? Without torture, I would never believe anyone's confession."
As Qin Jiu said, several silver needles appeared between his fingers. He raised his sleeve, and the silver needles pierced into various key points on the assassin's body. The assassin began to tremble, his face distorted, seemingly painful.
Qin Jiu smiled calmly and calmly: "Master Yuan, I just waited hard to rescue the adults. I was frightened a bit. I don't know if I can suppress the shock with a cup of tea."
Yuan Ba ​​walked quickly to the table and poured a cup of tea to Qin Jiu.
Qin Jiu held the tea cup and blew it slowly, focusing his enchanting gaze on the assassin's face, admiring his painful expression.
The man couldn’t beg to die, and finally couldn’t stand it. He pleaded: "I’m recruiting. The master said that someone in the palace wanted to buy Lord Yuan’s life. I heard that he killed Lord Yuan and sent someone else to replace Lord Yuan’s leadership. ."
Yuan Ba's original green face was even colder. He just learned a big secret today, someone in the palace came to kill him?
