Dare to Live Up to the Country and Live Up to Your Honor Ⅰ

The man in black turned around and disappeared at the end of the alley. The tea drinker did not follow because he knew that he had met his opponent tonight.

When did Tianshui Town have such a master, it seems that the leader should be notified earlier.

Gongsun Mingyue ran to the small river out of breath. She didn't pay attention just now. She thought that there would be another avenue at the end of the alley, but she didn't expect it to lead to the river. The first day she came to Tianshui Town, she didn't know the avenues and trails in the town at all. not familiar with.

After the cough stopped, he turned around and looked at the three alleys in front of him, and sighed deeply, which one was the one he walked in when he came here.

The man in black stood on the roof and looked at Gongsun Mingyue who was in a hurry below and couldn't help laughing out loud. This Lord Gongsun knew he was in a hurry right now?Why was he not afraid at all when he came out alone to find out what the hell was going on?

Gongsun Mingyue felt something strange in the air, he held his breath, and slowly backed away, where is the person who was peeping at him?He looked around, but he couldn't see anything in the dark night, and there was still some dim moonlight just now, but at this moment he also shyly hid in the clouds.

He couldn't help but look up at the sky, and suddenly a black figure came into view, that person just now!

Gongsun Mingyue was startled, he didn't know whether the opponent was an enemy or a friend, unexpectedly he staggered, his body tilted, and he fell firmly into the small river, the cold water made him gasp.

The man in black shook his head helplessly, lifted himself up and flew down from the roof, looked at Gongsun Mingyue thumping in the river, and said with a smile: "Master Gongsun, you are indeed a talent."

Gongsun Mingyue thumped to prevent the river from drinking into her stomach, while struggling, she said: "If you want to kill, kill it, don't be verbose."

The man in black laughed and said, "I don't want you to die like this." After speaking, the man in black made a quick gesture, twisted Gongsun Mingyue up and threw her on the grass by the river.

Suddenly exposed to the icy air, the already soaked clothes made Gongsun Mingyue tremble uncontrollably. Finally, he couldn't help hugging his body tightly, and pretending to be calm, he said, "Who wants you to save?"

"You think I want to save you?" The man in black turned and walked towards the alley, "If you want to freeze to death, then I don't mind you sitting there all the time."

Gongsun Mingyue didn't want to die young like this. He still had a lot of things to do, and he hadn't married a wife and had a son yet.

Thinking of this, he stood up crookedly and stumbled behind the man in black. He just wanted to leave here immediately. As for whether to go back to the government office or find another place to dry clothes, he hadn't made up his mind yet.

Soon they returned to the original avenue. At this time, the tea drinkers had disappeared, and there was only an empty water cup left in the tea room, and Gongsun Mingyue's jade pendant beside the cup.

The man in black put the jade pendant into his sleeve without any trace, and walked to Gongsun Mingyue again.

Gongsun Mingyue trembled so badly that he couldn't control the shaking of his body at all, and his lips were also white because of the cold. If he went back to the government office in this state, he didn't know how those followers would laugh at him, so he decided to find a place first. Settle down, bake and dry before going back.

"Excuse me, is there any place for me to stay near here? I'm about to freeze to death." Gongsun Mingyue's voice was trembling, and his teeth were chattering up and down, making his voice unnatural.

"Yes." After the man in black finished speaking, he walked quickly to the alley opposite. Seeing this scene, Gongsun Mingyue was afraid of being left behind, looked around and hurried after him.

A dilapidated building outside the city was eerie, and now Gongsun Mingyue was beginning to regret coming here with the man in black.

But it is this house that looks dilapidated on the outside, but there is something strange inside.

The ground of granite, the beams carved with mahogany, the corridors of white marble, the traditional Chinese paintings of Suihan Sanyou, and the calligraphy of Wang Xizhi and Mi Fu can be seen everywhere. Gongsun Mingyue couldn’t help but look dumbfounded. He seemed to have forgotten the chill on his body, and a surge of excitement rose in his heart. Excited.

He watched deeply and engrossedly, completely oblivious to the fact that the man in black behind him had taken off the black veil on his face.

The man sat down at the table and gently put down the black gauze in his hand, poured himself a cup of hot tea, took a few sips and said, "Master Gongsun, don't you want to change your clothes?"

Gongsun Mingyue suddenly came back to his senses. His head seemed to be quite awake at this time, and his body couldn't help but tense up. He heard this voice. He was too scared just now, so he didn't hear it: "Pang Ce."

Pang Ce laughed and said, "Master Gongsun finally remembered who I am."

Gongsun Mingyue turned around slowly and looked at Pang Ce vigilantly. This person is a great general in the imperial court. He has conquered all these years and made great achievements in battle. Perhaps he feels that he has made great achievements in battle, so he seems to want to The intention of usurping the throne.

Gongsun Mingyue is the servant of the Ministry of Rites. He had no contact with a first-rank official like Pang Ce, but for some reason, in the past few months, Pang Ce always seemed to be targeting himself every time he went to court.

This time Gongsun Mingyue was even more puzzled, why was Pang Ce in Tianshui Town?If he said that he came to Tianshui Town to find the murderer who killed his uncle, then what does he mean here?Could it be that he had something to do with the annihilation of his uncle's family?

"Why are you here?" Gongsun Mingyue looked at him with a pale face. Although he felt much warmer after entering the room, the chill brought by the wet clothes had not subsided. Gongsun Mingyue couldn't help hugging his slightly trembling body tightly. I won't change clothes in this person's house, even if I beat him to death.

"Master Gongsun, I don't think you should hold on any longer. There are dry clothes in the back room. You can change your clothes first and then talk to me." Said, "Master Gongsun's body looks like a woman's."

"Who do you think looks like a woman?" Gongsun Mingyue couldn't hear this kind of words the most, saying that he was thin and weak, and Pang Ce obviously couldn't open or lift which pot.

"Master Gongsun, if you don't change clothes, I'm going to rest." Pon Ce stood up, ready to walk towards the back room with a tired face.

"You wait for a while." Gongsun Mingyue suddenly stopped him, the thoughts in her heart were changing rapidly, to change or not to change?

Pang Ce stood obediently, slowly waiting for Gongsun Mingyue to make up his mind amidst the struggle.

……

Half an hour later, Gongsun Mingyue, who had changed into a white silk shirt, was sitting at the same table with Pang Ce drinking tea.

It was so cold this day, when he just changed his clothes, he felt like an ice cellar, and Ponce didn't know how to prepare some hot water for washing himself, it was really stingy.

Although I have put on clean clothes now, I still feel cold. Drinking some hot tea will probably make me feel better.

Gongsun Mingyue never thought that one day she would drink tea with Pang Ce at the same table. A month ago, he killed his concubine in front of him. How could such a ruthless man be kind enough to save himself.

"Tell me, what is your plan?" Gongsun Mingyue put down the water glass, opened the door and said.

Pang Ce chuckled, looked straight at Gongsun Mingyue and said, "Master Gongsun, is this how you treat your savior?"

"You will save me with good intentions? Who would believe it?" Gongsun Mingyue gave him a contemptuous look, and couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Ignoring Gongsun Mingyue's expression, Pang Ce stood up, walked to the window, looked at the flickering night, and said calmly, "Why did you come here, so why did I come here, whether you believe it or not."

"I am for my uncle, are you also for him?" Gongsun Mingyue looked at his back suspiciously.

"It's inconvenient for me to say too much now. Lord Gongsun is smart and smart, so he can find out the truth of the matter." Pang Ce didn't want to continue this topic. Judging from what happened tonight, he came at the right time, and the other party had already started to move. Woke up.

Ponce turned around and said with a flat face: "There is a wing at the back, I think you can rest there tonight, it's not safe to go back now."

Gongsun Mingyue looked out the door hesitantly, the blackness like ink made him feel that there would be a bloody mouth to swallow him alive anytime, anywhere.Maybe Ponce was right, he should wait until dawn before leaving, that would definitely be much safer.

Thinking of this, he immediately stood up, looked around, and looked around the house and said, "Why are you alone?"

"It was me alone." Pang Ce did not avoid the body that Gongsun Mingyue accidentally bumped into, but looked down at his panicked face, and said with a slight smile, "Master Gongsun, even if it's just me, it's the same." I can protect you well."

Gongsun Mingyue's heart fluttered for no reason, he quickly moved his body away from the other party, coughed twice and said: "Even if there are no guards, there should be maidservants, otherwise who will take care of your daily food and drink?"

"I can do it myself." Ponce walked towards the back of the house without looking back.

Gongsun Mingyue looked at his leaving back and fell into deep thought.

Why did he save himself, why did he come to Tianshui Town alone, he was clearly capable of catching the tea drinker, but why didn't he catch him, he really came for his uncle as he said himself?Or is it for a bigger conspiracy?

……

In the morgue, even though it was daytime, it was eerie and frightening. The corpses wrapped in white cloth seemed to stand up suddenly at any moment, scaring the living to death so that they could have one more person on the way to the underworld. accompany.

Gongsun Mingyue stood in front of a headless corpse. In fact, he didn't know if this person was his uncle, because he hadn't seen him for many years, but all the yamen servants said that no matter in terms of body shape or clothing, he was 100. I am sure that he is the county magistrate of Tianshui Town himself, so let's just trust them.

There was no obvious trauma on the corpse, except that the head was cut unevenly. The weapon used must have been not sharp. Gongsun Mingyue is still unable to determine the specific cause of death of this corpse, because without the head, there are many clues that cannot be found.
