Infinite Script Killing

Chapter 387 Sorry, I just want to live

"Master, it's too cold. Wear more clothes. Grandma personally told me to take good care of you before leaving the capital."

Before dawn, Xu Tong got up early to prepare for work.

Lerou personally changed Xu Tong's clothes and asked her servants to bring hot water and mouthwash tea.

Since the eldest grandma left Beijing with some servants, Lerou has begun to learn to manage the affairs of the family.

Although she stumbled, in general no one dared to stumble Lerou. After all, she was the maid in the young master's room.

No one knows what kind of temper the young master has. If he blows a few winds on his ears...

It's a disaster just thinking about it.

"After I go out, you should be careful. Don't open the door unless you are an acquaintance. There are a lot of rats outside recently."

The rats Xu Tong mentioned were naturally not the rats controlled by Ji Xiang.

Although the atmosphere in the court has relaxed recently, there are already unknown waves of spies near my home.

The existence of these people seems to be to monitor themselves at all times, for fear that they will slip away under their noses.

According to the reports of Ji Xiang's younger brothers, some of these spies were from the Xiang family, some from Prince Gong's palace, and even some from the palace.

There are also some people in the world who are confused and don’t know where they come from.

In short, I am now a piece of cake that everyone wants to take a bite of.

After giving Lerou instructions, Xu Tong went out early.

Stepping out of the door with one foot, more than a dozen pairs of eyes all around were staring at him.

Xu Tong curled his lips, walked to the stall at the door, picked up a pancake, ate it and walked toward the palace.

"gone!"

Seeing Xu Tong leave, several men wearing straw hats at the breakfast stall raised their heads.

"The person has left. Let's go back and report to the leader first."

With that said, several people stood up and started to leave.

"Hey! You haven't paid me yet."

When the breakfast vendor saw these people leaving, he quickly stopped them.

"Money?? Didn't he give it too??"

One person asked, pointing at Xu Tong's back.

"he!"

The hawker curled his lips and said, "He is our God of Wealth. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be here to serve you."

As soon as the vendor said this, all the people eating around him stopped holding their chopsticks in an instant.

Several people blushed even more, quickly dropped a bunch of copper coins and left in dejection.

A few people walked on the front foot, but those on the back foot dropped their money and left.

Why stay here if you don't leave? Even the vendors know they are spies, so why bother pretending?

On the other hand, after Xu Tong entered the palace, he poked his head out and found that the eldest princess was rarely absent today. After thinking about it, he stepped up to the second floor.

Take out the key and open the room door.

Under an oil lamp, Fu Anning was sitting there naked and writing something furiously. When he heard the movement, he put down the pen in his hand and turned back to Xu Tong: "Didn't I tell you not to come when you have nothing to do?" Find me."

Xu Tong closed the door, walked to Fu Anning, moved a chair and sat down, and then took out a food box from behind.

Open the wine and food that are prepared inside.

Fu'an Ning's eyes slowed down when he saw the food and wine.

"Sir, you are proficient in Yin and Yang Bagua and divination and Feng Shui. There is one thing I want to ask you."

Xu Tong said and handed Fu Anning a glass of wine.

"Hmph, tell me."

Fu Anning sneered and took it, but didn't drink it. It wasn't until he watched Xu Tong raise his glass as a sign of respect that he would drink it first, that he took a small sip to make sure there was nothing unusual before drinking it in one gulp.

"I've also been learning how to count plum blossoms recently. I had some small achievements and thought I was almost done until I met a beggar yesterday..."

Xu Tong briefly explained the matter, but concealed the matter of his own life-eye Qimen.

"Tell me, I obviously wanted to do good things, but why did the beggar go crazy in the end??"

Hearing this, Fu An Ning grinned, losing all shame. When Fu An Ning smiled, his mouth was particularly big, which made him look a little scary.

"You don't even understand that God can be deceived or not?"

If you change a person's destiny out of good intentions or malicious intentions, God can turn a blind eye, but if you are determined to compete with God, there will be absolutely no good results.

Fu Anning turned around and took out a book called "Ma Qian Lesson" from the bookshelf, opened a few pages, and showed it to Xu Tong.

I saw four words written on it.

Ten traditions.

"There are so many Yixue masters in the world. I am only counting the end of ten thousand years. You see, the ten emperors of the Datong Dynasty have already been calculated by others, but why has no Yixue master come forward to change this result? Because God cannot be deceived.

Since ancient times, none of those who tried to change their destiny against heaven had a happy ending, and no one could change their destiny against heaven.

Doing something you know you can't do is cheating. "

Although Fu'an Ning's character is not that good, in the professional field, he is definitely one of the top masters today.

With a few simple words, Xu Tong roughly understood why he failed.

"You kid is learning the art of Yi. I advise you to be careful. Everyone understands the truth, but there are always some people who overestimate their abilities and go against heaven. This is because they themselves are sometimes deluded, which is the same as the knowledge in Buddhism. Just like the obstacles, I don’t know why I am doing this, so I am determined to walk towards death.”

This can be regarded as Fu'an Ning's little advice.

"Thank you for clarifying my doubts, sir."

When Xu Tong asked for the reason, he felt relieved. He got up and went downstairs without staying any longer.

After walking downstairs, the eldest princess has not come back yet.

Xu Tong sat on the chair and waited, but as soon as he sat down, he saw Li Xi walking in with his head lowered.

"Eh?? What's wrong with you??"

Seeing the bruises on Li Xi's face, Xu Tong raised his eyebrows slightly, suppressed the smile that rose at the corners of his mouth, and asked pretending to be concerned.

"No, it's okay. I had a few quarrels with others and had a fight. It's okay. It's okay."

Li Xi didn't dare to look up.

Xu Tong looked solemn, slapped the table, stood up and walked to Li Xi: "Who dares to beat you, is it the eunuch in the palace? Come on, I will take you back to beat you."

As he spoke, he reached out and took Li Xi's arm and walked out.

"No, not really."

Li Xi waved his hands repeatedly, wanting to shake Xu Tong's hand away, but he didn't dare. However, Xu Tong's hand fell on his wound impartially, causing his lips to tremble in pain, making him unable to even speak. .

"You really don't need my help? Brother!"

Xu Tong let go of Li Xi's arm, which made Li Xi breathe a sigh of relief, but then slapped him on the back.

Li Xi almost lost his breath this time. Gao Zhuo's punch hit him on the back last night, and now his whole back is still swollen.

"No, really no need!"

Li Xi swayed a few times, quickly stood up, looked back at Xu Tong and said, "Brother Ma, are you free the day after tomorrow?"

"The night after tomorrow..."

Xu Tong thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No time."

"Uh...where is the day after tomorrow??"

"No, I made an appointment to go visit the brothel."

"That……"

Li Xi opened her mouth, and Xu Tong said directly: "I don't have time the day after tomorrow. I want to study at home. Studying makes me happy."

Li Xi: "..."

"Well, I actually have nothing to do the day after tomorrow. What are you going to do?"

Seeing Li Xi's face getting paler, Xu Tong stopped teasing him and asked Li Xi what he wanted to do.

Phew~~

Li Xi's face finally looked much better after hearing this, and he hurriedly said: "I plan to invite some of our brothers to get together."

"Juju?"

"Yes, I...I want to leave the capital, so I plan to get together before leaving."

"You have to leave the capital!!"

Xu Tong looked at Li Xi very unexpectedly, with confusion and reluctance in his eyes.

Li Xi looked at the look in Xu Tong's eyes and couldn't help but feel stabbed in his heart.

He lowered his head involuntarily, not daring to look into Xu Tong's eyes.

"Brother Ma, the capital is too chaotic. I want to go out for a walk. I heard that there are many foreigners in Tianjin. I plan to find an opportunity to go to Tianjin and take a look."

Li Xi made up an excuse at random, but it couldn't be said to be completely false. At least the fact that he left the capital was true.

"oh!"

Xu Tong sighed, rummaged in his pocket, and took out five or six banknotes.

"I don't know if you have this idea. You don't have that much money with you when you go out. You should take it first. If you want to be transferred to Tianjin, you need to take care of it. You can use it first. If there is not enough, I will get it for you."

As he spoke, he put the banknote into Li Xi's hand.

"Brother Ma!"

Looking at the banknote falling on his hand, Li Xi's nose felt hot.

"Stop being pretentious, we are good brothers, isn't our life-long friendship worth some money?"

Xu Tong's face was stern, and Li Xi couldn't help but patted him on the shoulder and said sincerely: "Promise me to be a good person!"

After saying that, Xu Tong waved his hand and walked out the door.

It wasn't until he walked out of the door that Xu Tong couldn't help but smile on his face: "What a perfect performance!"

Li Xi watched his back shaking slightly from time to time, but in his mind, he couldn't help but recall the image of Ma Hongwen holding back tears.

Suddenly, Li Xi's eyes became blurred.

He raised his head and looked in the direction of Cining Palace.

With white hair and snow falling, on the steps outside Cining Palace, stood an old eunuch with a face full of scabies and pustules, and a sinister air between his brows.

But this eunuch was wearing a brown second-grade official uniform, holding a whisk in his hand, and wearing a special three-eyed feather on his vermilion official hat.

That was the pinnacle of power that all the eunuchs in the entire Forbidden City aspired to, and their power even exceeded all the eunuchs in the Datong Dynasty.

When he first entered the palace, he took a distant look at this powerful eunuch. At that time, he only had two words in his eyes: envy.

But now, this envy is gone.

In order to escape the Maoshan Sect's pursuit, he had no choice but to hide in the palace.

Using a man's dignity in exchange for royal protection was a very good deal, at least at the time.

But now, this decadent dynasty can no longer provide him with long-term protection.

The only thing Li Xi could do was to leave and take the best interests on board the broken ship before it sank.

so……

Sorry, Brother Marco, I just want to live!
