Sapphire Warriors

After Nan Lie returned to Yushi Mansion, he saw an incense table in the courtyard.Tengzhen told him that the baby's mother was seven days old today, and now even the father is dead, so he offered a few incense sticks for the couple, hoping that their spirits in heaven could bless the baby to grow up healthy and safe.

But it's strange to say that the candle couldn't be ignited no matter what. When Fujima complained about the dampness of the newly bought candle, Nan Lie said: "Maybe the person you worship is not the baby's father at all, so he is in the spirit of the sky." , I am ashamed of myself!"

Then, Nanlie told Fujima what happened in Miura County in the past two days.

Fuji really didn't believe it, and asked him why he was so sure?

Nan Lie told Fujima the secret of Zhu Xingxiuyi: "How can an inhumane person have a future!"

Only then did Fujima know that the white-clothed scholar who claimed to be Eiji Zebei was actually an eunuch.

Nan Lie told him that everything that happened was extremely weird, and the crux of the problem was this baby, and everyone died for him.

Unexpectedly, as soon as this remark came out, Fujima was offended!Yes, Teng Zhen admitted that he and Nan Lie were really too confused before, and gave away the baby indiscriminately, which almost killed the baby, but he couldn't accept that the baby was the root of the disaster. Let me ask, where is the ancestral home? In the county, a little baby who doesn't know where he lives, how can he harm others, how can he harm others?

Nan Lie said that it was precisely because of this baby's unknown origin that his mother died unexpectedly, and the people who protected him were killed again and again, and all those who came for him were the most elite and cruelest shadow guards in the imperial court. , Therefore, if you keep the child by your side again, it will definitely lead to murder. He persuaded Fujima to think about the whole family of Yushifu even if he didn't think about himself.

It's a pity that Teng really doesn't think so, or in other words, he has paid too much and invested too much for this child, so he is reluctant to abandon him.He just emphasized to Nanlie over and over again that this is just a poor child with no one to rely on and no relatives!In the end, he promised Nanlie that no matter what troubles this baby caused in the future, it would be his business alone, and it had nothing to do with Nanlie!If Nan Lie was afraid of being implicated, he could just leave. He had nothing to do with the Yushi Mansion from the beginning to the end, and there was no need to get involved in this muddy water.After speaking, he carried the child into the house.

Fujima's words hurt Nan Lie deeply!

Nan Lie always thought that Teng Zhen knew him best, but on the issue of babies, their opinions were so different. However, these were not the main reasons. What really made Nan Lie feel uneasy and hesitant was that Teng Zhen shared weal and woe. There is no him in this life, there is no him in Tengzhen's life and death, Tengzhen's chase order broke his heart so thoroughly, it made him feel so painful in this silent night!

Of course, no matter what the relationship between Nanlie and Fujima is, Sakuragi still carries out his plan, because he is a guy who admits death!And this guy who admits death just happened to meet a prison guard who loves to take advantage, so the two of them are like bastards looking at mung beans, and the more they look at each other, the more they see each other.

With the support of Mitsui, Sakuragi made a plan. In order for Nan Lie to accept him as a disciple, he not only came to the criminal department early in the morning, cleaned the inside and outside of the prison, and even cleaned all the instruments of torture in the cell. Wipe it down.When Nan Lie came, he couldn't believe that those clean and shiny instruments of torture were the ones that had been used in the original cell.

But no matter what, Nan Lie also has his own attachments, he will never accept Sakuragi as a disciple, even though Mitsui is eating an apple at the moment, and is trying to help Sakuragi with good words.

Mitsui said: "It's rare for a young man to work hard and not get paid, so just give him a chance."

Nan Lie thought that Mitsui would not hurt his back when he was standing and talking, so he said, "You are the jailer of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. I don't care who you let in. So you don't care if I accept apprentices or not." After finishing speaking, he left the prison , to do their own thing.

Mitsui saw that Sakuragi's nose was ashamed, so in order to comfort him, he gave Sakuragi a complete set of human bones, saying that it was left when the previous executioner resigned, and asked him to go back and study it carefully, so that Nan Lie could do it next time. When I saw him, I was amazed!Of course, this is also his reward for doing free labor all morning.

Ever since he obtained the Encyclopedia of Human Bones, Sakuragi has been fascinated by it, but how can he put the theory into practice?He suddenly remembered the untraceable corpses in Yizhuang, so he took all his savings and made an appointment with Qingzi to meet at the backyard of Tianxiang Tower at Xushi tonight.

When Xu Shi was approaching, Haruko came to the backyard as promised, opened the door, and saw that Sakuragi was already waiting there. She smiled shyly and asked, "It's so late, what's the matter with asking me out?"

Unexpectedly, Sakuragi was already impatient, and said: "It's been so long, I thought you were stopped by your lady and couldn't come out." After speaking, he took Haruko's hand and told her to go with him quickly , but within two steps, he suddenly smelled the fragrance of Haruko, so he brought the lantern close to Haruko, and after taking a photo, he realized that Haruko was wearing a new dress tonight.

Sakuragi didn't know what his daughter's family was thinking, so he didn't ask much, took her hand and continued to stride forward.

In this way, Haruko was held by his hand all the way and followed him to the middle of the mountain.

At this moment, let alone the middle of the mountain, there is no one on the street.In this quiet night, Haruko looked at the stars in the sky and said to Sakuragi: "Thank you Sakuragi, I am really happy tonight." Obviously, she misunderstood Sakuragi's intention.

Sakuragi didn't know why, so he just led her to continue walking. After making seven turns, the two finally arrived at the destination "Wu's Yizhuang"!

"Yizhuang!" Haruko yelled in shock, and then she was so frightened that she didn't dare to breathe, and quietly said to Sakuragi beside her, "Even if it's not for the scenery, don't use this ghostly place."

"I'm just afraid that after I tell you, if you don't dare to come, it will be troublesome." After finishing speaking, Yingmu stepped into the Yizhuang. At this moment, there was a strange voice at the door: "Why is it so late?"

The voice was gloomy and terrifying. Haruko was so frightened that she grabbed Sakuragi's arm and refused to let go, even daring not to open her eyes.It was Sakuragi, who was a man after all, and said, "Sorry, it's late, where is my corpse?"

"I'm afraid you took it wrong, I put it aside for you." The gloomy voice sounded again, and it turned out that it was not a ghost who spoke, but the old man guarding Yizhuang.

After a false alarm, Sakuragi and Haruko walked down the mountain carrying a stretcher one after the other.

Sakuragi said: "Are you okay, are you tired?"

Haruko said, "Don't tell me I don't need to lift it because I'm tired? Shouldn't I find a man for this kind of work?"

There was a smile on the corner of Sakuragi's mouth, yes, I should find a man, but who should I find?Nan Lie?Mitsui?forget it.Yohei?Although Yohei has great strength, Sakuragi always feels that he has many secrets, which makes people feel unpredictable.So after all the calculations, besides sister Miyuki, the only person I trust the most is Haruko in front of me, so he said, "I'm worried that my sister is afraid, so I dare not tell her!"

Haruko became angry when she heard that, and said, "Then you don't have to worry about me being afraid."

"You will not."

"how do you know?"

"Aren't you helping me carry it now?"

Haruko laughed after hearing this, no matter where she went or what she did, as long as Sakuragi was by her side, she would feel at ease, even if there was a dead body in front of her.Speaking of the corpse, she glanced at the corpse, saw the hideous face of the corpse, she couldn't help being a little scared, she turned her head, but accidentally saw the corpse insect crawling out of the corpse's clothes, which was not bad, Haruko was so frightened that she shook it off immediately. I got off the stretcher, and as a result, a corpse pouring all of Sakuragi's capital rolled down the hillside...

The corpse rolled down the hillside, but of course it couldn't be found, so I had no money to buy another one. Sakuragi thought about it all night, but couldn't come up with an idea. It wasn't until dawn that he thought of a mirror!

Just do it!

Early in the morning, while Miyuki was going to offer incense in the temple, Sakuragi brought a big mirror from her room, came to Haruko's room, and sat in front of the big mirror, holding the book of human bones in one hand. Daquan, holding a small mirror in one hand, experimented with his own neck.

Haruko at the side saw that he couldn't figure out the position of the cervical spine written in the book, so she said: "Actually, this incident happened because of me, and I caused you to lose the body. How about it, where is the body?" , I don’t have the money to buy another one for you, but I have a neck.”

"Will you lend me your neck to practice?" Sakuragi stood up in surprise and looked at Haruko.

Haruko sat in front of the mirror with a smile, brushed her long hair from the back to the front, exposing her fair neck and said, "Take it."

So, Sakuragi held the book in his left hand, stretched out three fingers in his right hand to touch Haruko's cervical spine, and studied it carefully.

This is the first time that Haruko and Sakuragi have had such close contact. The light touch between fingertips and skin made Haruko very nervous. After touching for a while, Haruko asked, "Have you finished touching?"

"No, it's just started." Sakuragi replied casually. After finishing speaking, he suddenly realized that the back of Haruko's ears had turned red at some point, so he blew lightly in Haruko's ear as a prank, and Haruko was so ashamed that he immediately Turning around, he was stopped by Sakuragi. It turned out that he finally found the position of the two and a half fingers written in the book.

"This is the place. When you are beheaded in the future, you will be beheaded here." After speaking, Sakuragi took advantage of the situation and made a beheading motion.

Haruko jumped up from the chair in fright, and said angrily: "Why is this so, curse me to be beheaded by you?"

"Just kidding, sit down, come again, I haven't touched enough yet."

"Humph! Don't..."

"Let me practice again."

"No loan."

……

The two of them ran around the house like this, totally not paying attention to the pair of eyes outside the door. There was hatred, resentment, and helplessness in those eyes.

He hates himself, the same man, why can Sakuragi chase after his beloved unscrupulously, but he can't?

He blames fate, at the same age, why can Sakuragi be free, but he has to shoulder heavy responsibilities?

He has no choice but to fall in love with the same girl, why can Sakuragi get Haruko's favor, but he can't?

After thinking about it, it's just because he is Hanamichi Sakuragi, and because he calls himself: Mito Yohei!

Speaking of Shanghe City, it seems that something big is about to happen in the past few days. Many shadow guards suddenly appeared on the street.The so-called "shadow guards" are the first-class masters in the palace. These masters usually don't show up in the market, but these days are different. They were taken back to the mansion for strict interrogation. It is said that none of the people who were taken away returned home safely. This made Nan Lie's heart rise in his throat as he was walking on the street.

He hurried back to Yushi Mansion, took advantage of Tengzhen's absence, picked up the baby, and walked towards the back door...

Xiao Lian walked out of the kitchen with the food, just in time to see Nan Lie walking out with the baby in her arms, so she immediately went to the main hall to tell Fujima.But before the words could be spoken, they were interrupted by three shadow guards who walked in: "We found a suspicious person on the roof of your house!"

Seeing that they were all dressed as shadow guards, Teng Zhen couldn't help but think of what Nan Lie said before. Could it be that they really came for that child?No, nothing can make them take away the children, so Fujima said to them: "I don't know what you are talking about. We are all good citizens and have not done anything illegal. Please go!"

How could the three shadow guards listen to Fujima's words? They rushed into the inner hall without saying a word. Fujima couldn't stop them at all. In order to hold back one of the shadow guards, Ito was almost beaten severely. Fortunately, Master Huagata Walking out in time, he walked up to the shadow guard and asked, "Which guard do you belong to? The shadow guard's order to arrest people must have sufficient evidence before it can take effect. You can't bully the people at will. leave!"

Master Huaxing's words were reasonable and resounding, blocking the shadow guard speechless.However, although the shadow guard didn't dare to do anything to Master Huaxing, he pulled out the saber at his waist.

At this time, the two shadow guards who searched the inner hall came out, claiming that they found nothing, so the shadow guard gave up, put away his sword, and left Yushi Mansion with his men.

After they left, Xiao Lian told Teng Zhen that Nan Lie had already taken the child away, and he looked fierce, unlike taking the child out to play.

After thinking for a while, Fujima ran out immediately...

It's really "whatever you are afraid of"!

Fujima ran to the street in one breath, and saw a group of people blocking the alleyway of Bird Clothes Lane, so he was curious and leaned forward.

I saw a shadow guard punching and kicking a man, shouting: "Say! Who is your accomplice!"

I heard from the onlookers that the man was beaten so cruelly because he offended the shadow guard.

The man lying on the ground had no power to fight back. He curled up on the ground and kept trembling, and weakly uttered a sentence: "You...kill me...forget it..." After finishing speaking, what he got was the Shadow Guard's After a whipping, the man's clothes instantly turned into rags, and every cut was bleeding.

This shocking scene made Teng Zhen couldn't help taking a step back, he raised his head subconsciously, and saw Nan Lie at the other end of the crowd.

In the next second, Nan Lie walked around the crowd and walked to him, took his hand, and said to him: "Don't look, they are here to catch fugitives, follow me!"

……

The two came all the way to the Xiangguo Temple in the outskirts, seeing no one around, so Nanlie walked into the Buddhist hall, took out the child, and sent it to Tengzhen's arms.

Seeing the child again, Teng Zhen's hanging heart finally fell. You know, Xiao Lian told him just now that when Nan Lie went out with the child in his arms, he was afraid that Nan Lie would abandon the child. Now it's all right, child Nothing happened, so he was a little embarrassed and said, "I thought you were afraid of hurting the fish in the pond, so..."

"It's rare that family members are willing to make things easier and don't know how to ask questions, so I send my children here, which is safer than at home." After finishing speaking, he saw that the sky was getting dark, and then said: "It's getting dark, let's go back home quickly." let's go home."

"Yeah." Fujima nodded, and then said to the baby in his arms, "It's okay, let's go home."

"It's okay this time, it doesn't mean it's okay next time." Nan Lie reminded.

Fuji really turned around: "Next time, I will be careful."

"It's up to you?" Nan Lie took a step forward, came to Tengzhen's side and continued: "Today on the street, you have seen the methods of the shadow guards. If their goal is this child, and you insist on not If you are willing to hand it over, you were the one lying on the ground just now."

Nan Lie's words were like a basin of cold water, drenching Tengzhen from head to toe.That's right, I'm just a doctor. If I was the one who was beaten just now... Teng really can't think about it anymore, but Nan Lie still wants to go on. He said: "Do you think beheading is the worst? No The most painful thing for a person is not death, but the unbearable pain, but you can't do it if you want to die, and you continue to suffer from pain and sink into despair. Life is better than death. is the most painful."

"Stop talking." Teng Zhen interrupted Nan Lie.

But Nan Lie ignored him and insisted on his own opinion: "Today, you are just a bystander and you can't stand it anymore. If one day, the same thing happens to you, just like the person who was kneeling today and was tortured to extract a confession... "

"Don't say any more." Teng Zhen interrupted him again, then turned his head and stared at Nan Lie. After a long while, he lowered his head again and said, "I don't know anything. I only know that I can't give up on this child. I'm going home now." After finishing speaking, he walked forward without looking back...

It's almost winter, and the weather is getting colder and colder, but no matter how cold it is, it can't be as cold as Nan Lie's words during the day.

That night, seeing that Nan Lie hadn't entered the door for a long time, Tengzhen put on an extra layer of clothes and came to Wuyi Lane. Sure enough, he saw Nan Lie sitting there drinking alone, so he asked the noodle stall owner for a pair of clothes. After eating the bowls and chopsticks, she sat down at the table where Nan Lie was sitting.

"Why are you here?" Nan Lie asked.

"It's too stuffy at home, come out to get some air." Fujima made a nonsense reason.

Fortunately, Nan Lie didn't like to break the casserole and ask the end, so he didn't expose his lame reason.After the noodle stall owner delivered the wine glass, he filled the glass with Baigan, but he didn't expect that Fujima picked up the wine glass and poured it down, so he smiled and said: "Drink so fast, It's easy to get drunk."

"Don't worry, I'm very sober." Speaking of this, Fujima suddenly paused, and then said: "You are right, if something happens in the future, causing me to be tortured to extract a confession, just those few whips, I can't take it anymore."

"You really figured it out?" Nan Lie squinted at Fujima.

"right……"

"Then where do you plan to send that child? In the temple? Or which family?" Nan Lie asked.

"Censor's Mansion!"

He insisted that Qingshan would not relax, and his roots were in the broken rock.

Tengzhen told Nanlie that when Huaxing was alive, he was upright all his life.Therefore, instead of letting him be insensitive, stealing peace for a while, and destroying his innocence for a lifetime, it is better to go to disaster calmly and go with a strong character. If Huaxing knows his choice today, he will definitely support him.

"You came here to tell me this?" Nan Lie asked.

After hearing this, Tengzhen shook his head and said, "I'm here because I want you to do me a favor."

"The matter has come to this, what else can I do to help you?" Nan Lie had a wry smile on his lips.

Tengzhen stared at this wry smile, and said in his heart: "Yes, when I really can't stand it, I hope you will stay by my side and make up for me."

Make up for it! ?After hearing this, Nan Lie actually laughed out loud, sweeping away the dull atmosphere around him.

Fuji really seemed to be infected by him, and asked with a smile: "What are you laughing at? You don't want to?"

"Yes." Nan Lie said, quietly holding Fujima's hand with one hand, staring at him seriously, and said: "I am willing to stay by your side forever."

……
