Good and evil must balance

The Jiangbei branch is located in a compound in a bustling city. When you open the door, it seems that the compound is full of hardworking ordinary people.Yingze took a closer look and found a person in the corner struggling to break off corn kernels. Although his face was dark and his face had many pockmarks, Yingze recognized him.

"Old and Dangerous." Yingze called out to him.

The man raised his head as soon as he heard it, dropped a pot of corn and ran over, surprised: "Ying Zuo Shi, you are not dead?"

Yingze glanced at him angrily, if it wasn't for the knives around his neck, Yingze would have rushed forward to give him a chestnut.

Ning Tian said coldly to Gu Huo: "You come here too."

When they got to the room, Yingze took off the knife from his neck, and those who held the knife clasped their hands and said, "Ying Zuo Shi, I'm sorry."

Yingze waved them down, twisted his stiff neck and blamed Ning Tian, ​​"Ning Tian, ​​it's been a long time since I've seen my temper grow, and I've already learned how the leader used to tie people up with a knife."

Ning Tian snorted and said, "If not, are you willing to come back?"

Yingze smiled and said, "Don't be so absolute, I'm sure I'll come back as soon as I see you happy."

Ning Tian snorted coldly, Gu Huo stepped forward and said worriedly: "Zuoshi, we found out that your boat and Wuxiangmen's boat were hijacked by pirates halfway, how did you escape?"

Yingze thought for a while, and said: "This matter is a long story, and I don't want to make a long story short, so let's talk about it later."

"..."

Ning Tian cast a glance at him, too lazy to talk nonsense with him, directly cut to the point and slowly explained the situation these days: "Our spies found out that the Cangxi faction had arrived in Jiangbei half a month ago, and I specially released Cang Ruozhi The news of being detained, but they did not take any action."

Yingze asked, "Do you know where they gather?"

Ning Tian nodded, and said: "There is Cang Xi in charge, we dare not investigate deeply."

Yingze said, "Didn't you send anyone to negotiate?"

Ning Tian shook his head, and Gu Huo interjected, "I went there once, but never came back. Horror..."

"The person you sent didn't come back..." That meant that the negotiations had broken down. Yingze frowned and said, "Cang Qingtian is an old man, his daughter's life is not worth a painting?"

Gu Huan was puzzled and said: "The subordinates also think that Cang Qingtian's behavior is very strange. As early as when we robbed people in the river, we had sent people to Jiangnan and the Cangxi faction to request their release, but he would rather personally He led people to chase us all the way to Jiangbei, and he refused to take out the relics of the former leader and exchange hostages with us. This is really strange."

Yingze thought for a while, looked at the table and asked Ning Tian, ​​"Hey, what exactly is the painting of the former leader?"

Ning Tian glanced at him, shook his head and said, "I don't know either."

Yingze snorted, "You wouldn't tell me if you knew, right?"

Ning Tian didn't deny it, looked at Ying Ze and said suddenly: "What's the matter with those iron rings on your body?"

Yingze sighed, "It's inevitable that you will have to pay a price for being a righteous little lover."

"..."

Ying Ze said again: "By the way, do you still remember Yao Shi Huan?"

Ning Tian wondered: "The former left envoy? What are you doing to mention him?"

"Just ask." Ying Ze said, "Do you know why he left suddenly?"

Ning Tian shook his head and said, "I only joined the religion a few days earlier than you. I just heard that he was yelling madly all day long to find some medicine and save someone."

What kind of medicine can I find to go to sea?

Yingze asked again: "Is he always insane?"

Ning Tianxia looked at Gu Huo subconsciously, Gu Huo nodded and replied: "When I joined the religion at the age of seven or eight, he was already insane all day long."

He paused, then sighed again: "It is said that he was driven crazy by the battle at Tianlang Mountain more than ten years ago."

Yingze subconsciously said: "...the time when Zhengzheng bloodbathed Tianlang Mountain?"

Gu Huo nodded silently.

Ning Tian suddenly said in a deep voice: "In that battle, the Red Cherry Sect was almost wiped out..."

Some old people in Yingze's lectures mentioned that night.

It is rumored that that night, the blood of their companions flooded the entire Tianlang Mountain, and the fire left by the explosion burned all the flowers and plants on the mountain to ashes, and under the ashes were the flesh and blood bodies of thousands of sects...

……

Yingze filled himself a glass of wine, and the whole glass fell into his throat, with a bit of astringency.

Gu Huo opened his mouth, hesitantly said: "Have you ever seen Zuo Shi on this trip?"

Yingze shook his head and replied, "No."

In the hiding place of the Cangxi sect with Gu Huo, Yingze couldn't wait to find someone that night, but Ning Tian saw through his intentions in advance and ordered someone to guard him tightly.

According to the past, the gatekeepers couldn't stop him at all, so Ning Tian basically put on a show, and unexpectedly blocked him in the room, unable to get out.

Gu Huo brought him refreshments to calm him down, and asked him: "Zuoshi, what kind of poison did Wuxiangmen put on you to be so overbearing? It can make people unable to use their internal energy."

Yingze said quietly: "If I want to know what kind of poison I have been poisoned, do I still have to worry about it every day?"

Gu Huo said: "Is there no doctor who can solve it?"

Yingze said: "Probably so."

When he was on the island, he specifically asked Pharmacist Huan when he was awake. Even Pharmacist Huan, who is known as a genius doctor, couldn't cure it, so he could only pray that the Wuxiang Sect had an antidote for this poison.

Yingze sighed: "I have pity on my A-zheng, I have to stay alone in the empty room just after landing."

Gu Huo twitched his lips and said, "If Mr. Chu doesn't reconcile with the Cangxi faction, you will run away for nothing. Besides, Zuoshi, you can't even beat your subordinates now, and you attacked the Cangxi faction alone at night. , Isn’t this courting death? So Envoy Ning You did the right thing, this time his subordinates supported him.”

Yingze snorted, "Didn't I miss my Ah Zheng?"

Puzzled and choked.

Yingze continued to disgust him, "I don't see you in a day, it's like three autumns..."

"..." Gu Huo picked up a piece of pastry, put it in his mouth, and said with a wooden face, "Left commander, you rest first, and my subordinates will continue to peel the corn."

Yingze watched him leave, and suddenly said to his background: "There is no cure for Gu poison, but I can try the iron ring on my body. You can send someone to the shoemaker's shop in the city tomorrow to find someone There is no expert who can cut or melt the century-old black iron ring."

Gu Huo was stunned, "Those reckless people in the blacksmith shop? Can there be such capable people?"

Yingze replied seriously: "The masters are among the people!"

"..."

Gu Huo didn't have the guts to pretend to be a "master" for such a thing. After a few days of busy travel, he finally ran all over the city's large and small blacksmith shops, trying his best to spread the "rumor" of Xuan Tiehuan.

Just after the fifth day, the "master" finally arrived as scheduled.

When Chu Zheng saw Gu Huo for the first time, he looked around vigilantly, but did not immediately go forward.

Gu Huo said: "Since you have the courage to come here alone, what are you still wary of now?"

Chu Zheng asked coldly, "Where's Yingze?"

Gu Huo pretended to be surprised, and said, "How do you know it wasn't a trap specially set by the Demon Sect to lure you?"

"The Devil's Cult can't be so stupid." Chu Zheng asked back, "The guards were withdrawn specially, why aren't you afraid of luring other people?"

Gu Dan smiled and said, "To each other." Then he let Chu Zheng go, and he flew to the roof to let the wind go.

Inside the house, Yingze seemed to have expected him to come, and prepared a table full of food, sitting at the table and looking at him.

Chu Zheng glanced at the food, and subconsciously asked, "Is the food of the Demon Cult so bad?"

"I eat too much fish on the island. Eat some vegetarian food." He said, gnawing a mouthful of corn with no expression on his face.

When will the table full of corn be finished?

Yingze gnawed on the corn and asked him inarticulately, "I haven't seen you for a few days, do you miss me?"

Chu Zheng sat across from him and said, "I thought you were looking for me because you wanted to reveal something to me?"

Yingze sighed, "Ah Zheng, I'm still a serious heretic, so why would I start a mole right after I got back?"

Chu Zheng was silent for a while before he opened his mouth and said, "What you want is not a last resort, and Master Cang will not let go."

"You really met the Cangxi faction?"

Chu Zheng nodded, and said, "Since you have no intention of harming others, let Miss Cang go as soon as possible. More than half of the Cangxi faction are now gathered in Jiangbei. Once your negotiations break down and you start a war, depending on the strength of one of your sects , must be a lose-lose situation.”

Yingze said casually, "Are you trying to persuade me to surrender, or are you acting as an internal response for me?"

Chu Zheng was silent, and suddenly shook his head and sighed: "Yingze, I don't want us to have another reason to be enemies."

"..."

Yingze sighed softly, stood up and looked out the window, and said, "Chu Zheng, I just miss you, can't you just stay with me quietly for a while?"

Chu Zheng opened his mouth as if to say something.

Yingze handed him a piece of corn and said with a smile, "Come, eat the corn."

"..."

Hey.

Chu Zheng took the corn silently, looked at him for a while, and began to chew slowly.

……

The next day, Chu Xiao got up to go to the toilet in the morning, and found that the toilet was occupied by someone, and no one came out after holding back for a long time.

Clutching his stomach and stomping back and forth several times, Chu Xiao finally couldn't hold back anymore, and yelled towards the toilet in a disembodied manner: "Hey, who the hell are you in there? It's time to climb out."

It was quiet inside for a while, before the door of the toilet was slowly pushed open, and a person came out.

Chu Xiao: "Cousin 0.0..."

Chu Zheng looked at him coldly with a dark face.

Chu Xiao suddenly lost all shit, and said, "Cousin, cousin, it's you..."

Chu Zheng rolled his eyes at him, was stunned for a moment, and then rushed in, clutching his stomach.

Chu Xiao organized his words, tried his best to use a caring tone, and shouted inside: "Cousin, have you eaten your stomach?"

There was no response for half a day.

After a long time, Chu Zheng's weak words came out: "...For breakfast, don't order corn."

"..."

Cangxi sent a group of people to temporarily live in a village dozens of miles outside the city. The people in the village are simple and enthusiastic about the sudden appearance of them, and they took the initiative to make room for them to set up camp.

In the beginning, some village women would wink at some young men in the Cangxi sect in the name of delivering meals, but the head of the Cangxi began to let it go, but after seeing him a lot, he found that some disciples in the sect began to communicate frequently with the village men. When the woman contacted them, she rejected them one by one with cold words.

After this refusal, the villagers cut off the food for them. They had no choice but to go to the restaurants in the city to buy food and go back to eat.

On this day, Chu Zheng was about to go out to have breakfast with everyone, when a disciple of the Cangxi sect who was going to buy food in the city suddenly ran in scrambling.

Sect Master Cang never liked the recklessness of his disciples, especially in front of outsiders.

He was just about to reprimand, but he heard the disciple panting and said in horror: "No...it's not good...Miss...the city gate..."

Chu Zheng frowned and stepped forward, "Don't worry, speak slowly."

"Miss...Miss is hanging on the city gate!"
