Chapter 40 Difficulty traveling

The author has something to say: The revision has been completed!

From this chapter on, I'm going to start the dragon killing plan.It is impossible for an innocent person to remain innocent for a lifetime. I don’t think Xiaolong is the kind of person who is so innocent that he doesn’t understand the intrigue of officials and the bloody court. It’s just that his life has always been smooth, so he has too many beautiful expectations and fantasies. Well, I think Zhaozhao actually understands this truth, so he just tries to protect that "innocent" little dragon as much as possible.It's just Zhao Zhao, I'm sorry, I'm going to do it.In Zihuang, I will let Xiaolong kill four people, four people who are crucial to his transformation, if you are interested, you may wish to guess.

The rain that fell all night made the mountain road even more muddy, but after turning over the top of the mountain, the situation has improved a lot. Maybe it was a hard experience, maybe it was a few smoke from the sparsely lit mountains at the foot of the mountain from a distance, which made Zhao Zhen involuntarily spirited Great shock.

At dusk, after finally descending the mountain, Zhao Zhen hesitated outside the fence and encountered difficulties.I barely wiped my face with rain and dew, but the blood stains all over my body were really scary, so I tried a few places, but before I could speak, I was regarded as a villain and an evil spirit, and I couldn't help but drive out of the yard with a broom.However, the worms in his belly were too enticed by the aroma of the food to move.There was such a day in the dignified emperor, Zhao Zhen smiled bitterly again, and finally mustered up the courage to step into the yard of the last family in this mountain village again.

It's a pity that he didn't call out the owner of the house, and from a distance, he saw a few women rushing towards him in a hurry.Zhao Zhen hurriedly hid behind the stone mill, and then heard them come in and shout: "Sister-in-law of the Zhu family, something serious happened, your man went up the mountain to chop firewood and was bitten by wild wolves."

Mrs. Zhu was cooking, and when she heard the call, she hurriedly came out of the house rubbing her hands, asked a few questions, and hurriedly left with the women.Zhao Zhen stared blankly at the backs of a group of people leaving, thinking what to do, and wanted to wait for the owner to come back and inform him to ask for some food, but finally couldn't bear the hunger and cold, and entered the house without authorization.

Walking into the kitchen uncontrollably, I still had some scruples, but when I saw the delicious steamed buns, all my restraint was thrown into the stinky gutter, and I threw myself on the stove and started to gobble it up.Accustomed to delicacies from mountains and seas, Zhao Zhen never knew that steamed buns made from brown rice were so delicious.The clear, cool water still had a hint of sweetness, and he burped contentedly until he drank a scoop of it completely. (Zero: Well, I admit that I am embarrassed when I write this, Xiaolong, you are carrying such a heavy Zhaozhao on your back like a starving ghost, eating and drinking like a starving ghost, this picture is unimaginable!)

There was a faint smell of rice porridge in the air, Zhao Zhen searched for the smell and found a pot of thin millet porridge from the long table for preparing dishes, he was almost unhappy.Quickly put Zhan Zhao to lie down on the haystack in the corner of the room, Zhao Zhen filled a bowl, blew it warm, and fed it into his mouth spoonful by spoonful.It's just that people who are seriously injured and comatose will not cooperate, and because they have never taken care of others since they were young, they are clumsy. There is very little rice porridge that is actually fed, but more than half of the bowl is drained, which is empty and wet on the chest.Zhao Zhen knew that wiping was useless, and the clothes of the two of them were torn and stinky after climbing a mountain.Looking up, he saw the coarse clothes hanging on the bamboo poles in the backyard. At this moment, Zhao Zhen no longer hesitated, and took two coats to change into.But it took a long time to change clothes, especially for Zhan Zhao. Either it was crooked here, or it was not properly dressed there. Only now did Zhao Zhen realize that when he was being served and changed in the palace, it looked so easy. , I am afraid that it is also a science to do well.

While dawdling, there was another commotion in the front yard. It was the Zhu family who was looking for her husband who had left and returned.Zhao Zhen thought that breaking into the empty door was not counted, and he stole food and clothes. If he was discovered, he would be fine. He was so guilty that he huddled in the kitchen for a long time and did not dare to probe.Fortunately, Zhu Shi was so concerned about her husband that she didn't pay attention, but went directly into the bedroom and rummaged through the boxes.Seeing her rummaging for a long time, Zhao Zhen looked curiously through the window, but saw that Mrs. Zhu suddenly collapsed on the ground, holding a few copper coins in her hands and said to herself in a daze: "What should I do? Isn't the head of the family hopeless?!" As he spoke, he couldn't hold back, and suddenly burst into tears.

Seeing her crying miserably, Zhao Zhen guessed that her husband was seriously injured and urgently needed to see a doctor for treatment, so he felt pity immediately.Thinking that even though he took food and clothing without authorization, he could be considered a favor of this family, so he took out the money bag that fell out of Zhan Zhao's arms when he was changing clothes, opened it, and poured it out. Apart from a few copper plates, there was also an ingot of two or two feet of silver. .Zhao Zhen picked up the silver without much thought, and crept to the front yard to make a noise. After Zhu Shi was attracted, Zhao Zhen slipped into the front hall and put the silver on the dining table.

Seeing that only a clay pot for growing onions had been broken in the courtyard, Mrs. Zhu thought it was a good thing done by wild cats and dogs, but when she returned to the house again, the silver on the table was enough to make her eyeballs fall out in shock.

"This... this...." Holding up the silver carefully with trembling hands, Mrs. Zhu couldn't even utter a complete sentence.Suddenly, as if thinking of something, Mrs. Zhu raised her head to the sky and clasped her palms together, muttering to herself: "God must have appeared and come to save us poor people. Thank you, God, for your kindness and compassion!" After worshiping, hurry up He put the money in his pocket and ran out.

God's help?

Oh, that's okay, this saves him a lot of explaining.

With a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, Zhao Zhen carried Zhan Zhao on his back again contentedly, took a gourd for water and a few buns for dry food, and left quietly.

The situation of climbing the second mountain was much better than at the beginning, and it only took half a day, but Zhao Zhen knew that it was far behind the itinerary that Zhan Zhao had planned for him.In this regard, Zhao Zhen is not restless or anxious. He is always concerned about the safety of the people of his family, country, and people. This is his duty as the fourth emperor of the Song Dynasty.But he also knew very well that he was not as solid a foundation in kung fu as Zhan Bai, and if he didn't take a good rest, it might be a waste of time.

In fact, the idea of ​​letting go of Zhan Zhao came up in the most painful moment. He believed that if he really did that, Zhan Zhao would never blame him, because that person had already sought benevolence, but this matter was not important to him, no matter how emotional he was. It is intolerable both on the surface and deep down.

If you put Zhan Zhao down, you will lose completely!Lost to Chai Wenyi's conspiracy, lost to unpredictable fate, and even lost to his own weakness.

To sacrifice the most important person in your life for the sake of the country?

This kind of thing, he does not admit.He wants to save together.

So this kind of weakness is only once, and since then Zhao Zhen has thrown the idea of ​​"letting go" out of the blue.

"Zhan Huwei, I will not let you die in this kind of place. You must not die here."

Whenever he was too tired, Zhao Zhen always used Zhan Zhao to encourage himself like this, and he even found that it was far more effective than using national security.The burden of the country is too heavy and too far away, but Zhan Zhao has always been within his reach.If this is a manifestation of human selfishness, Zhao Zhen doesn't hate it.Because isn't the ambition in Zhan Zhao's heart the same as his?Selfishness and selflessness may sometimes not contradict each other if only in terms of results.

The sky seemed to be covered with a thin layer of gray cotton yarn, and the dark clouds rushed over again, and the sound of thunder resounded from time to time, mixed with the flashes of lightning on the clouds.Zhao Zhen thought in distress: I'm afraid I won't be able to leave again now.Fortunately, the rain hadn't poured down yet, and Zhao Zhen suddenly discovered that there was a light not far from the foot of this lonely mountain, so he rushed to knock on the door of that house in a hurry.

It was a woman in her early thirties who came to answer the door. She timidly glanced at Zhao Zhen and the unconscious Zhan Zhao on his back, then looked up at the sky. She understood Zhao Zhen's request, so she did not wait for the other party to speak. He took the lead in waving his hands and said: "Little brother, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that my boss has a bad temper and I can't entertain guests, so you can find another home."

Zhao Zhen was stunned, and asked, "Is there any other family nearby that is convenient for staying overnight?"

Difficulty appeared on the woman's face, and it took a long time before she hesitated and said: "A... further... ten miles..."

"Ten miles?" Zhao Zhen couldn't help but keep his tone high, it was no different from asking him to get in the rain.It doesn't matter if he drench a little, but Zhan Zhao has this kind of body now, if the damp and cold enter his body again, how will he bear it?

The woman also knew that her words were wrong, so she went to the house to get an umbrella and two corn buns, and gave them to Zhao Zhen.Zhao Zhen opened the umbrella in a daze, and found that it was still a broken umbrella with two holes. Thinking that it would not work, he put his leg against the door just as the woman was about to close it.

Zhao Zhen begged: "Madam, you have a bodhisattva's heart, why don't you let someone do it to the end? The person on this back is Zhen..." His eyes rolled, firstly he accepted the title "Zhen" that must never be stated to the outside world, and secondly, he sent the manuscript to the outside world. The talk of friends turned into brotherly love to win sympathy. "The one on the back is my elder brother. My two brothers encountered thieves while doing business. My elder brother was seriously injured in order to protect me. I really couldn't stand the slightest jolt. This rain seems to be heavy. I implore your wife to let my two brothers enter the house." Get out of the rain."

"This..." The woman clearly showed hesitation.

Seeing that there was still a chance, Zhao Zhen persuaded the other party with emotion and reason.A village woman in the countryside doesn't know a single word, how can she stand up to such a handsome and distressed brother in front of her, begging politely and politely with words she has never heard before?But before the woman agreed, there was an unusually rough shout from the back room: "Damn, is it over? Hurry up and let me stop disturbing my dream."

The woman's face changed when she heard the sound, and her attitude immediately changed. Without any explanation, she pushed Zhao Zhen out, trying to forcefully close the door.Zhao Zhen is now a tiger in Pingyang, and everything has been stolen. At this moment, he doesn't care about his image and identity. Please hide from the rain for a while, and I have no intention of disturbing you."

The woman was sweating profusely, complaining and stomping her feet: "Oh, my ancestor, please go away. This kind of person really can't be soft-hearted, it's just bringing trouble on yourself!" As she was speaking, she suddenly rushed out from the back room A burly man in a single suit.How could the woman have the strength to compete with Zhao Zhen after seeing this, she let go of her hand, shivered and shrank to the corner of the wall.

Suddenly loosening his strength, Zhao Zhen, who was resisting, lost his strength, and almost fell into a somersault.Before he could concentrate on seeing the person coming, he felt that the other person snatched the umbrella and the bun from his hand, and then angrily rushed to the woman and slapped her hard on the face.This slap not only made the woman cry, but also stunned Zhao Zhen, who lost his reaction for a long time.

"You shameless bitch, before I'm dead, you brazenly have sex with a little boy at the door of the house. You even gave him the things at home, do you want to piss me off, or do you want me to beat you to death? !"

The woman was so frightened that she begged for mercy.Zhao Zhen couldn't stand it anymore, so he hurriedly stopped the reckless man from wanting to beat the woman again, and explained: "Brother, you misunderstood, this sister-in-law just sees my brother and I are pitiful, and sympathizes with us..."

"Yeah, bah, I'm going to teach my woman a lesson, so you need meddle in your own business?" Without any explanation, he raised his fist and waved it at Zhao Zhen.

Inexplicably attacked, anger rose from the heart.Compared with Zhan Zhao and others, Zhao Zhen may be vulnerable, but he has also practiced body defense skills in the palace since he was a child, so he can easily deal with a villager.I saw him making a small grab, grabbed the opponent's wrist and slammed it outward, the reckless man suddenly screamed in pain like a slaughtered pig.

Even if it is absolutely not, it is her husband after all, and the woman feels distressed when she sees her, so she hurriedly knelt down and begged Zhao Zhen to raise her hand.Zhao Zhen couldn't bear the difficulty of this woman who was friendly to him, so he threatened his husband with a few words and let him go, then turned around and respectfully helped the woman up.The woman was overwhelmed with flattery when she met Zhao Zhen, and after waiting to meet her husband's fierce eyes again, she was so frightened that she quickly pushed away Zhao Zhen's outstretched hand and hid in the back room.

Seeing his wife's reaction, the reckless man sneered nonstop: "Boy, if you want to be aggressive and dominate my house, I can't beat you, so of course I have nothing to do with you. But the world is still up to the king's law. I will go to Bichuan County tomorrow. If I sue you, I think you won't get any favors."

Zhao Zhen was dumbfounded.It's not that he is afraid that he will sue himself, the word Wang Fa is a big joke when he puts it in front of him, but he never expected that after walking for so long, this place is still the land of Bichuan County. He and Zhan Zhao are about to suffer.

Seeing that Zhao Zhen was frightened by him, the man was very proud. "Why, are you afraid? It's also—" He deliberately dragged his voice for a long time, and at the same time, his eyes frequently glanced at Zhan Zhao on Zhao Zhen's back. "With a half-dead thing on your back, even if you want to run, you can't run fast. But if you are a ruthless master, maybe if you leave the thing in the way, you can slip away faster than a rabbit..."

Before the word "Li Suo" could be uttered, a hatchet was held against his throat.

"Try another word, believe it or not, I will kill you?!"

Da Da swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and the reckless man shook his head desperately, expressing that he would never dare to provoke him again.

"I'm not a villain, you don't have to be afraid." Zhao Zhen put away the hatchet, threw it back to the corner where it was originally placed, and suppressed his anger to calm himself down.Zhao Zhen repeated the story of encountering thieves in business that he had just lied to the woman just now, and repeatedly stated that he only wanted to borrow a house to hide from the rain, and had nothing else to ask for.It's just that the other party has always been suspicious, and maybe they are also unwilling to take them in. Zhao Zhen was forced to say angrily: "Then I'll give you money, is that okay?"

As soon as the word money was mentioned, the man's eyes immediately changed. He was not polite, and he stretched out his hand and asked, "How much can you give?"

Zhao Zhen took out the money bag and looked at it, showing embarrassment, and then poured out the few remaining seven copper coins with a little embarrassment.Seeing these young men, the man sneered, "Did you send the beggar?"

"You?" Zhao Zhen was very angry, grabbed the seven copper coins and said fiercely: "Even if it is this, it is worth two days of expenses for your family, right?" Sneaking out of the palace with Zhan Zhao on the grounds of people's sentiments, he doesn't know anything about the expenses of ordinary people, although what he knows is only a rough idea, only... hearsay.

The man sneered and said, "Look at you, you are educated. Since you have some background in business, why are you still bargaining like a stingy woman?"

Zhao Zhen was so angry that he was half dead.It suddenly occurred to him that he still had a piece of suet white jade on his body, which may not be very expensive, but because it was a piece of evil spirits that the empress dowager prayed for him when he was a child, so he never left his body.It's just that now, even though he feels a little distressed, Zhao Zhen resignedly tore it off and threw it to the other party. "Is that enough?"

When the other party saw the baby, he immediately seemed to be a different person. He smiled and said yes, and even called out his wife whose face was swollen after being beaten to entertain Zhao Zhen.Zhao Zhen was busy changing clothes and dressings for Zhan Zhao, and he couldn't see the villainous face of this man, so he ignored him at all. Seeing that he was talking too much, he just made fun of himself, so he left.

After eating hot food, wiping himself well, and changing into clean clothes, Zhao Zhen felt as if he had come back to life.The long-lost bed made him feel unspeakable excitement in his chest the moment he lay on it.Turning his head, he looked at Zhan Zhao who was lying beside him, his eyes were full of tenderness.He couldn't help but reach out and touch the man's face, feeling the warmth that was continuously transmitted to his hands. It seemed that only in this way could Zhao Zhen convince himself to stick to his own path and continue walking.

"Those are things outside the body, not to mention that they are used to exchange you and me for a night's sleep, or just to exchange a meal for an orphan who I don't know. I also think it should be taken for granted." Ah, you are so kind-hearted that even my mother agrees, but...just... the idea of ​​exchanging suet and white jade for a meal, I can only say that you are an idealistic fool who doesn't know the sufferings of the people La! Equivalent exchange, do you know? If you want to exchange, you must exchange for the stability of the life of the orphan, don’t patronize the present, you stupid son!)

I thought I would fall asleep when I fell down, but I was so thirsty for no reason.Zhao Zhen got up and put on a coat casually, then went outside to find water to drink lightly.Passing the couple's room, I suddenly heard the wife screaming in shock: "What? You want to kill them and rob them of their belongings?"

Zhao Zhen was shocked when he heard the words, so he quickly posted to the concierge to listen carefully to the conversation inside.

A female voice of "Woooo" came from inside, it should be the man who wanted to be fierce and covered his wife's mouth, only to hear him curse in a low voice: "You are looking for death, what should you do if you wake someone up?"

The woman managed to break free and begged her husband, "Master, this murder is against the law. If you are found out, you will have to pay with your life."

"If you don't find it, you don't have to pay for it? Let's make it invisible."

"This..." The woman pondered for a long while in difficulty before she refused: "No, they have no grievances or enmities with us, not to mention they didn't eat and live for free, didn't the little brother give a piece of white jade as a lodging fee? That jade looks very expensive, and it is estimated to be worth a lot of money if it is sold. It is pitiful enough for them...the two brothers are in trouble, so why do you have to be so evil...?"

"Pa" was another crisp applause, and the man snorted and said, "I can see that you shameless slut is really fascinated by the little boy. Fortunately, the older half-dead man, if two I'm going to pour you some soup together, I'm afraid that if you don't even know your surname, your soul will be hooked."

The woman sobbed aggrievedly: "How can you use the pretext of being unfaithful to make me up like this? Since the first day I married you, I have never neglected my duty as a wife. Two-hearted? If you want to force me to death, just say it, I will never obstruct your eyes."

The man didn't like it, and said vaguely: "Okay, don't cry, it's bad luck. I know that even if I really give you this kind of heart, you don't dare. If I say angry words, you will take it seriously?"

"I'm serious. Do you think I'm persuading you for the sake of outsiders? I'm for you who are in charge! If you get caught, it's a serious crime of beheading, not to mention...not to mention that little brother has kung fu, if it's self-defeating...? "

"Women, they are also afraid of the front and the back. How can they achieve great things? I have suffered a loss once, how can I be foolish enough to suffer a second time? If it is clear, we can come to the dark. Remember last time You went to the county and bought some white arsenic for rats, if there is any leftover, you put some in their food..."

"I can't make it. I can't do such an outrageous thing."

"Smelly woman, I told you to push back and forth when I asked you to do even the smallest things. You think I'm full and going to kill people? I don't know if this is a brain-dead business?! Isn't this decision for our family?! I have lived in this ravine since I was a child, do you think I will be a hunter all my life? You don’t want to eat delicious food, wear gold and silver, and buy a big house in the county? In the future, when our son is born, we will be able to live happily ever after. The scenery is bright, can you have a big future? Look, that little white face casually flipped through and found a piece of valuable white jade, and he gave it if he asked, and there must be some other valuable treasure hidden on his body."

There was a rustling of clothes, it was the husband hugging his wife and making out, and from time to time, the woman shyly said "Don't be serious". "So in order for us to live comfortably in the future, I say, Hui Niang, don't be kind to women."

"But……."

"You have to play against me, don't you? Go, don't you want to smoke?!" The man was so soft that he returned to his fierce look, and rudely pushed his wife out of the bed, then lay down on the ground and covered himself with the quilt Wake up.The woman softly called out "The head of the house" twice, seeing that her husband ignored her, she had no choice but to accept her fate and leave the room. Unexpectedly, as soon as Pu opened the door, she saw Zhao Zhen standing outside with a gloomy face like a Shura.The woman gasped in fright, her legs went limp, and she fell to the ground.

"When...the head of the house...then...then..." The woman was slurred and couldn't even speak.

Hearing that his wife was still in the room, the man jumped up impatiently and shouted: "Soul, I didn't see that I'm going to sleep..." The voice stopped abruptly, especially when he met Zhao Zhen's hateful eyes , his dark face suddenly turned white, and he managed to squeeze out a smile that was uglier than crying. "Okay...okay, good man, it's so late...don't sleep yet? If you're hungry, I'll ask my wife to give you...and Brother Ling will prepare something to eat." He gave his wife a wink and said. "Not yet!"

"No need." Zhao Zhen said coldly: "Everything in your house has been poisoned with white arsenic, so you don't need to eat it."

As soon as the words came out, the husband and wife immediately understood that Zhao Zhen had heard their murderous plot outside the door, and they were so frightened that they lost all color.Zhao Zhen rushed to the direction of the bed, so horrified that the man shrank to the corner of the bed and begged for mercy desperately: "Good man, spare your life, good man, spare your life." But Zhao Zhen ignored him, but stared blankly at the suet white jade clutched in his hand, and said with regret in his heart : How can the protective gems given by the queen mother be given to such a person?

Snatching it away, Zhao Zhen said in a deep voice: "If this thing falls into the hands of a shameless person like you, it will only be ruined." After finishing speaking, he left without looking back.

Rushing back to the room, Zhao Zhen slammed the door hard, and it took him a long time to force himself to swallow a breath of anger. Finally, he was so irritable that he couldn't bear it and began to put on his clothes. How can he stay in such a wolf's den?After simply making a bag and packing some unfinished steamed buns, Zhao Zhen put Zhan Zhao on his shoulders again.It was only when he took a step out of the door that he was hit hard on the forehead by a sap.It was dark in front of his eyes, he lost his footing and fell on the dining table next to him, knocking down a plate of chopsticks, and Zhan Zhao on his back slipped down because he was not tied tightly.

"Guard Zhan..." Before his sight recovered, Zhao Zhen anxiously bent over to catch someone, not wanting to put his hand on the ground and be scratched by the broken porcelain.Although the tingling pain in the fingers was heart-rending, but fortunately, the blurred vision was stimulated to recover, but the sight after the eyes were clear made Zhao Zhen turn pale with shock.

It was seen that the shirtless man strangled the unconscious Zhan Zhao to his chest, and held a kitchen knife firmly against his neck.His eyes were red, and he said viciously like a mad beast: "Boy, if you dare to move, I will immediately tell you, this half-breathed old brother, to be separated from your head!"

"you!"

"Give back the white jade to me, it belongs to me, and you still want to take it back? You really have that face!"

Zhao Zhen was so resentful that he almost burst into tears, and regretted to the extreme why he didn't want that dog's life in the first place.Even if it was just a premeditated crime, the heinous crime of murdering the Son of Heaven is enough to kill and even kill nine clans.After all, he was still naive, he only realized the intention of the Queen Mother to blame Zhan Zhao at the beginning.He is indeed a man of luck, thinking that since the fact has not been realized, he does not need to be punished severely. How could it not be caused by his needless soft-heartedness that he got this situation?It seems that the enemy, Chai Wenyi, sees him the most thoroughly. He is indeed not worthy of being an emperor, unable to prevent it before it happens, and has no ability to make decisions for thousands of miles. Without this emperor status, what is he? !Now...not even the only person I love deeply in my heart can't protect her.

Slowly raising his eyes to Zhan Zhao who was being threatened, his hatred suddenly softened to regret, and his heart was even more at a loss.

Zhan Huwei, you said that you want me to keep a pure heart, and you want me to be a kind and generous emperor, but what's the point of this?Although I am not stupid enough to think that people in the world have a kind heart, I always think that the hearts of most people are simple and kind, but that Han Mengfei wants to kill me for revenge, Chef Zhang does not know right from wrong in order to repay kindness, and shopkeeper Wang In order to protect yourself and hurt you, now this pig and dog are not as good as the insatiable Orion to threaten me with your life.Are these people good or evil?Could it be that with a sincere heart, with benevolence, filial piety, propriety, and so-called generosity, I can be influenced?You come to tell me, what is the use of these strengths that you value?Can it save you, save this world?

"Boy, why are you silent? Aren't you very arrogant?" Seeing that Zhao Zhen still bowed his head and said nothing, the man played with the thrown suet white jade, his expression became more and more complacent, "Hand over all the valuable treasures on you No one is allowed to stay, if I find out that I have hidden one, I will kill this half-dead boy immediately!"

Zhao Zhen lowered his head even lower, but he couldn't stop mocking laughter from overflowing his throat.Hearing the strange laughter, the man was a little scared, shrunk his shoulders and said, "What are you laughing at?"

"I laugh at you for wasting your efforts. I have given you the only valuable thing, and I am already penniless. What do you want to get from me?"

"Nonsense. If you only have this white jade, how can you give it to me so easily?"

How can it be easy...?Zhao Zhen laughed at himself in his heart: That's because I am the lord of the Great Song Dynasty. I have never seen any rare treasures. How could I be so rare about such a piece of suet white jade?so…….Clenching the fragments tightly into the palm of the hand, let the pain in the palm of the hand resist the regret that is difficult to calm down as much as possible.If the money is not revealed, it is my rashness that led to this situation, isn't it?It boils down to my stupidity.

"You are right, there is another thing that is more valuable than that white jade, it is a priceless treasure."

"Then take it out quickly." Obviously impatient.

Zhao Zhen slowly raised his head with a sneer, but his eyes were bloodshot, and his forehead was bulging due to the suppressed anger. He stared at Orion in front of him, and said nonchalantly: "Isn't it already with you?" Well!"

Following Zhao Zhen's gaze, the man realized that Zhao Zhen was referring to Zhan Zhao who was being held hostage in his hands, and said furiously, "Stinky boy, you are so impatient, how dare you play tricks on me?"

His eyes suddenly changed, like ten thousand arrows being fired at once, and the hatred like a poisonous snake was entangled in it, which made the vicious Orion tremble all over.Then Zhao Zhen's tone also changed, becoming terrifying and full of deterrence. "If you dare to touch him, I will never let you go. I can guarantee that I will let you taste what life is worse than death."

The man was so choked that he was almost speechless, and he said "yes" three times in a row before he regained his sense of reason.He suddenly smiled evilly and said, "It's okay, if you say you can't do it, you can do it. But instead, you have to satisfy me." He twitched the corners of his mouth evilly, trembling with his messy beard that was never tidied up.

"Kneel down!—"

Zhao Zhen's eyes widened suddenly upon hearing this, in disbelief.

The man sneered and said, "If I don't punish you today, I'm afraid you won't know how many catties you have." The kitchen knife was tightly pressed against Zhan Zhao's neck, almost choking into the flesh, if it wasn't for the blunt knife , already bleeding more than.

"do not!"

Zhao Zhen's heart ached to the extreme, and he wanted to stop it, but he could do nothing but clenched his fists.

"Kneel down!" Repeated again, the other party was obviously impatient. "I want to see today, what step can you do for your priceless brother? Is respect important, or his life important?"

dignity?Dignity is absolute for an emperor.So his knees are the golden knees of kneeling on the ground but not on others. How is it possible for him to kneel to such a shameless and despicable villain? !

only……

It's just...he's not just an emperor, he's still Zhao Zhen.The emperor must have dignity, and the emperor must put down all the people in the world in his heart.And Zhao Zhen is just one of thousands of mortals, his heart is filled with only one person.

"Boom".

The sound of knees hitting the ground.

I thought it would be difficult, but the moment I fell, I was resolute.

But the raging didn't stop, as if the evil that couldn't be filled began to clamor again.

"Kowtow to Lao Tzu, kowtow well!"

An overwhelming shame washed Zhao Zhen's chest over and over again.But he didn't utter a rebuttal, he just gritted his teeth, almost biting blood, a stream of blood spilled from the corner of his lips, but finally covered the red eyes burning like the fire of red lotus, bowed his head, his forehead straight to the ground.

If something like personal dignity is for that person, throw it away!

In order to keep his oath, throw it away!

In order to protect the most important, most precious, and most priceless thing in your heart, throw it away!

It can be discarded no matter how many times! ! !

The man looked up to the sky and laughed, as if he had watched the most exciting show in the world.He suddenly turned around and stared at his wife who had been huddled at the door of the bedroom, not daring to stop her, and said, "Huiniang, why don't you go get a hemp rope and tie this kid up for me?"

The woman called Hui Niang was hesitant at first, but after being glared at by her husband, seeing the end of the matter, she had no choice but to take the hemp rope to tie her up.The man was urging his wife to tie it up tighter, while paying attention to whether Zhao Zhen had any disobedient behavior, but he saw that Zhao Zhen had no resistance and lowered his eyebrows and let the other party tie him up tightly. The man only thought that he had given up and became honest. Only then did he release Xie Zhao and search him.I thought I would be able to find something, but who would have thought that there was nothing left, the man was extremely angry, and he was annoyed when he thought that his efforts were wasted, and he couldn't swallow the resentment, so he punched and kicked Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen curled up, fell to the ground and let the opponent beat him, barely moving.Just when the man was tired from beating and was about to throw the guy away, he suddenly felt his calf being held by someone, and when he looked down, it was actually Zhao Zhen's hand.

With a low shout, Zhao Zhen broke the hemp rope that was almost broken by the pieces of the porcelain bowl with all his strength. He jumped up, rushed at the man, and pinned him to the ground. Insert the tablet into the opponent's throat.The vicious Orion twisted his neck and died instantly.

This sudden change happened too fast, before the woman could react, she saw her husband dead with his eyes popping out.The sadness that should have been surging was completely frozen the moment it touched Zhao Zhen's terrifying eyes that are unique to a murderer.She was shaking all over, and her legs and feet, which were about to run away, were also weak because of the fear, and she couldn't stand up.Seeing that Zhao Zhen had come to her, still holding the piece of broken porcelain that killed her husband and dripped blood in her hand, the woman could only tremble and utter an extremely light voice: "Please...please...you, don't kill me... ...don't...don't kill me..."

Zhao Zhen stood there in a daze, not seeing anything for a long time. When the woman summoned up the courage to face him again, she found that his eyes had changed.There is no hatred, only endless sadness and helplessness.

"You swear that you will never tell what you see now, let alone sue the officials to reveal our whereabouts." Zhao Zhen knelt down and looked directly into the woman's eyes. "Please understand that your husband deserves to be blamed for his own death. But Ma'am, you are different. I know you don't want to harm us. So... as long as you swear, I will let you go."

The woman looked timidly at the dying Zhan Zhao, and looked at her husband's dead body in grief, then frowned and made an oath softly.As soon as the vow was over, Zhao Zhen immediately relaxed, mentally exhausted as if he had reached the extreme, he just glanced at the woman and said "Let's go", then staggered towards Zhan Zhao.

As if the woman was granted amnesty, she ran out like flying, even if she fell down on the way, she didn't care about the pain.

Zhao Zhen wanted to leave quickly, but his body had already bent down, but before his hand touched Zhan Zhao, he suddenly had an ominous thought.

——Did I make a fatal mistake again?Will the woman really keep her oath?What if she went to Bichuan County to sue the officials for killing her husband, and accidentally exposed our whereabouts to Chai Wenyi?

——No, this woman has a kind heart, and she has been advising her husband not to do evil.Besides, she had sworn it!

--swear?How many people in this world swear, and how many people keep their vows?What is this oath compared to the revenge of killing your husband?She may have had a good heart, but after all, didn't she become her husband's accomplice?

——When she kidnapped someone, her eyes were full of apology. She was not an accomplice to her husband, but helpless. She was also a victim.

——But is her feeling for that wicked husband fake?How can you be sure that she won't avenge her husband and betray her?Now it is difficult to move forward, is it necessary to make this journey of desperation worse?It doesn't matter if you are caught, you still have the identity of an emperor to protect, if you hurt Zhan Zhao, even if you miss the time for medical treatment, can such a regret be undone by regret?

--Do not!

--Do not!

--Do not!

Confused, he said to himself, "Stop...." Then, as if suddenly waking up, Zhao Zhen yelled, "Stop!" Then he leaned towards Zhan Zhao.
