startled autumn

Shen Zhiqiu is from Moyi of Jianzong, and Lu Zheliu is from Chipei of Qizong.

Both of them have good backgrounds, so it is naturally impossible for them to be wronged and wronged, and to admit the crime of the mastermind behind the scenes in vain. In the battle of words, no matter who wins or loses, among the people present, who can be the one who is not afraid of offending both parties? An arbitrator who can still judge impartially?Thinking of this, can not help but make people a headache.

As a result, Yue Yin stood up and elected Han Bi, the biggest victim in this incident, as the arbitrator. After the autumn settle accounts?Everyone thought this way, and felt that this move was very appropriate, and they praised it one after another, and immediately threw the blame on Han Bi's head.

Han Bi was holding a bone fan, and the tip of the fan drew a circle on the small sandalwood table in front, and he tapped it lightly at the end, and when the sound fell, he asked in a deep voice, "Mr. Lu, what about the secret passage in the capital? Know?" When he changed his title, it meant to draw a clear line with Lu Zheliu.

"I don't know."

"The secret passage dug to the bottom of the peach blossom forest, and you are in charge of the venue layout of the competition, and you don't even know about it?"

"I really don't know." Lu Zheliu whispered guiltily, "If I had known about this earlier, how could I invite you to the meeting and put you in danger? Besides, if I really teamed up with the Fuluan Sect to capture you Let's go, what's going on with Shen Zhiqiu? If I'm really the mastermind behind the scenes and I don't know him before, why should I keep him alive, and even order someone to bring him all the way here, just causing trouble? He's safe and sound here. Suspicious enough."

He's talking utter nonsense this time.

Lu Zheliu said firmly: "As for the letter, I really haven't written it. If you don't believe me, I can leave a pen and ink to identify it on the spot."

Han Bi's imitation of his handwriting was only half-baked, and he didn't intend to take the letter as ironclad evidence, so he nodded and asked again: "Then what is the explanation for what Miss Zhu Heng said?"

"She is the saint of Fuluan Sect. She knew that there was no hope of escaping, so she wanted to drag me into the water." Lu Zheliu glanced at Zhu Heng, shook his head and said, "How can you believe one side's words?"

Yue Yin stood aside and listened to what he said, and couldn't help but chuckled, "If you can't believe one side's words, why does Mr. Lu insist that my senior brother Shen is behind the scenes? Could it be that they deliberately dragged my senior brother into the water knowing that there is no hope of escape?" ?”

Han Bi nodded slightly: "From this point of view, neither side's confession can be trusted."

Lu Zheliu finally understood that they sang the double reeds here to overturn those confessions against Shen Zhiqiu.

If those confessions are ironclad evidence, then Zhu Heng's words are also ironclad evidence. Either both of them have a share in the position of the mastermind behind the scenes, or both of them take a step back, and they all shirk it to the Fuluan sect.

"There is no doubt, I can only believe both of them." Although Han Bi's words were beautiful, the address between the lines was intimate, and the eyes that looked at Lu Zheliu were as cold as a knife. "After all, if you want me to speak from the heart, it may not be too unfair to Mr. Lu."

He made it clear that he wanted to support Shen Zhiqiu.

Han Bi paused for a moment and added: "Fu Luan teaches evil heretics, and the leader Bai Yan is full of tricks. He set up a trap to frame the two of you. Maybe it will cause internal strife. Please don't fall for it."

With such a simple sentence, it is considered to be the end of the matter. Han Bi, as the biggest victim, will not pursue it. If Lu Zheliu continues to entangle with this, he will appear guilty instead.

Lu Zheliu knew that he had to suffer this loss, so he smiled lightly and said, "Mr. Han Ruizhe, I feel ashamed."

Shen Zhiqiu sat next to Han Bi, and no matter how dull he was, he could still understand. If Han Bi hadn't seen through Bai Yan's trick, he might not be able to argue with anything just now, and became a villain who colluded with the Fuluan Sect; not only that, Han Bi was completely Standing by his side, she tried her best to clear him of the crime and return his innocence.

He raised his eyes to look at Han Bi's profile, and silently said "thank you".

Han Bi saw the shape of his mouth out of the corner of his eye, and turned away uncomfortably, pretending not to see it.

Zhu Heng watched all this with cold eyes, Fuluan collapsed, Qishan fell, but overnight, her bitterness and pain for several years turned into a passing nightmare, but it was a pity that her only concern was no longer in this world, and she could not taste the rewards of suffering moment.

"It's so stupid." She rolled up her robe sleeves and stood up, "It's really ridiculous that you are well-known and decent, and there are so-called smart people like Han Bi, but they are all played by Lu Zheliu."

"One-sided statement? If my testimony is not enough, what about my husband's?" As soon as Zhu Heng finished speaking, he lifted the screen behind him to both ends, and Bai Niao Chao Huang was separated from it, and the person sitting behind him was actually Bai Yan himself.

Bai Yan was dressed in red, with deep eyes, motionless, and did not speak a word.

Zhu Heng smiled lightly: "Lu Zheliu, do you want to ask him if he knows you?"

Time seemed to freeze.

Yue Yin coughed softly, raised his eyebrows and said, "What evidence do you have, you can tell it all, don't beat around the bush—"

"You can't trust Bai Yan's words, I think it's better not to listen." Han Bi interrupted him.

Zhu Heng shouted lightly: "What does this matter have to do with you!"

Bai Yan's eyes flickered, and there was only one figure in his pupils.

At this moment, Lu Zheliu's hand was like lightning, and the sword was exposed to the cold front, flying towards him, it was Han Lu.

The next moment, the point of the sword pierced into Bai Yan's chest without missing a beat.

Shen Zhiqiu stared blankly at this scene, and the memories of last night swept over.

By the lake in the night mist, Han Bi looked at Bai Yan whose hands were crippled, and asked coldly, "Whose sword do you want to die by?"

Bai Yan became angry from embarrassment: "Shut up!"

"I understand." Han Bi murmured, and turned to Zhu Heng for help: "Miss Zhu Heng, can you do me a favor?"

Zhu Heng couldn't cry anymore, his eyes were full of confusion: "What should I do?"

Bai Yan couldn't move after being acupointed, and was placed behind a screen; Zhu Heng, as Bai Yan's wife, testified that Lu Zheliu had colluded with her husband, and then turned against the Fuluan Sect. Lu Zheliu fell off his horse.

In the end, Zhu Heng pushed the speechless Bai Yan in front of others, creating the illusion that Bai Yan was going to betray Lu Zheliu.

It is true that Bai Yan never thought of betraying Lu Zheliu, the only bargaining chip he could bet on was to hope that Lu Zheliu would still have some trust and compassion for him.

It's a pity that he expected the wrong object.

Lu Zheliu is suspicious by nature, how could he commit his life to Bai Yan's mistake?

A cold delusion sword cut off Bai Yan's last thought.

"Death is not the most desperate thing." In the cold night, Han Bi whispered, "Even if you die for the person you like, you won't get the slightest bit of trust from him. Bai Yan, this time it's you Come and taste."

The moment Jian Guang fell into his arms, Bai Yan finally understood Han Bi's intentions.

Life and death are but a moment, and after that, the blue sky will fall into the yellow spring. Even if there are hundreds of years in the world, no matter how many grievances and hatreds, all of them will be wiped out overnight.

Is this fair?

Qingyong once thought about chasing freedom, but never escaped from this cage for a moment; Zhu Heng endured for many years, in exchange for the tragic death of his sister; Bai Yan was willing to sacrifice his life for Lu Zheliu, but he could not gain his wholehearted trust.

Is it worth it?

Han Bi wanted him to understand that even if it was unfair and worthless, the thing he dreamed of would never fall into his hands. This kind of bitterness and frustration was the bitter fruit he had brewed by himself, and he deserved it. taste.

Qing Huan and Zhu Heng could blame fate, but he could only blame himself.

Bai Yan turned her face sideways, and slightly opened her lips towards Zhu Heng.

Zhu Heng released his acupoints, and said softly: "If you're sorry, don't say it." It's useless to say anything else.

Bai Yan shook his head, blood was overflowing from his lips, he held Zhu Heng's hand, and spoke with difficulty: "The antidote...is..." The voice was so soft that no one could hear it except her.

Zhu Heng was shocked all over, and as Bai Yan slowly closed his eyes, he couldn't laugh or cry.

Seeing that she was strange, Han Bi quickly pushed Shen Zhiqiu: "Stop her—"

Zhu Heng on the stage has already pulled out the cold sword from Bai Yan's heart happily, the blood is still hot, sprinkled on her red clothes, it seems like nothing happened, she screamed for nothing. People are frightened.

Shen Zhiqiu's eyes locked, and his movements were extremely fast, he jumped onto the stage and grabbed Zhu Heng's sword-holding wrist, only to find that she had a resolute expression, as if she had decided to die.

"You can't die!" Shen Zhiqiu whispered.

She just shook her head slowly.

"Qing Yan wants to go to Moyi, I haven't taken her there yet, but you can take her there..."

There was only a soft sound, and the Han Lu sword fell to the ground, and Zhu Heng threw himself into Shen Zhiqiu's arms, weeping bitterly.

Even though Han Bi was watching coldly from the sidelines, he couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness welling up in his heart, and the guilt that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly burst out, as if the tide had swallowed him up.

His rationality told him that a wise man is bound to make a mistake. Even if he foresees everything, it is impossible to know exactly what a lunatic thinks every step of the way, especially a lunatic who has lost himself like Bai Yan. , can stand on the edge of a cliff, just to pull them all into the abyss.

Han Bi could think of countless words to comfort himself, you have done a good job, maybe no one can do better than you.

It's just that he also knows that if he made a wrong calculation, what he missed was a real person; if he had thought more and considered it more carefully, wouldn't he have made a mistake?

Seeing that Han Bi suddenly lost his temper, Yue Yin had no choice but to stand up and shouted: "Lu Zheliu, why did you kill him?!"

Lu Zheliu pursed his lips tightly, stopped looking at Bai Yan, and said solemnly: "I think it's strange for you to call for grievances for the wicked."

"If you are not guilty, why kill the sect master to silence your words, is it because you are afraid that he will turn against you temporarily and betray you?" Yue Yin shot back quickly.

"I'm not afraid of a leader's wife who ran out out of nowhere, why would I be afraid of the leader?" Lu Zheliu sneered, turned around and said loudly to the crowd, "Please think about it, everyone, this Fuluan sect was first framed by Mr. , and then framed me, how many words of their testimony are credible? Mr. Yue is so smart, can't he guess that this is all because they are delaying time?"

Lu Zheliu glanced back at Shen Zhiqiu above, and said softly, "Besides, isn't it strange that Mr. Shen is so close to Miss Zhu Heng?"

A clear female voice sounded during the banquet: "What Mr. Lu said is absolutely true."

Han Bi turned his gaze to where the voice came from, and saw a thin young man standing there, white and tender, his eyes were bent without smiling, and he couldn't help saying: "Ye Tao?"

This fair-skinned young man turned out to be a woman.

Not only that, but this woman has a lot of background, she is the only daughter of Ye Jingzhou, the head of Chipei, and Han Bi spent two days in Chipei when he was young, so naturally he also had a few encounters with her.

Ye Tao is dressed in men's clothing, but her eyes are beautiful and charming, she smiled sweetly and said: "Lu Zheliu is Chipei's guest teacher, if he really colluded with Fuluan Sect, I, Chipei, will also be to blame , but there is no real evidence now, if Mr. Yue wants to insist that he is a villain, it would be too biased." After a pause, "Besides, Bai Yan has done a lot of evil, and Lu Zheliu killed him just to prevent the night from having more dreams, that's all."

Han Bi sneered, "You mean, Chi Pei vowed to stand by Lu Zheliu?"

Ye Tao knew that he was not easy to mess with, so she shook her head and said, "Before I went out, my father told me to put Chipei first. If the evidence of Lu Zheliu's evil is convincing, I have nothing to say; How can you force me, Chi Pei, to suffer this loss?"

What she meant was very simple. Since Lu Zheliu was wearing the hat of Chipei guest master, she must speak for him, not for Lu Zheliu, but for maintaining Chipei's reputation. Hakka's collusion with the cult is tantamount to destroying Chi Pei's reputation.

This is the reason why Lu Zheliu dared to kill someone on the spot, as long as Bai Yan didn't betray him completely, Ye Tao would definitely speak out to protect him. If so, how could he give Bai Yan a chance to speak?

Han Bi pondered, "Ye Tao, you have to take some losses."

Ye Tao smiled lightly and said, "Just right, Mr. Lu told me yesterday that he was tired of the hustle and bustle of the capital, and after this matter is over, he wants to leave Chipei and live in seclusion elsewhere."

What she meant was, let's take a step back from today's matter. After returning to Beijing, Lu Zheliu will no longer be a member of Chipei. When the time comes, your grievances and hatreds have nothing to do with Chipei.It is true that it is impossible for Lu Zheliu to have said these things to her, but as the daughter of the head, she has said so, can Lu Zheliu still argue?

Han Bi turned the bone fan in his hand, but said nothing.

Ye Tao glared at him impatiently, knowing that this person has always been unreasonable, and believes that earning too little is equal to a loss, so she added: "I, Chipei, will never intervene in dealing with the remnants of the Fuluan Sect."

After all, only a blind person can't see that Zhu Heng and Mo Yi must have a connection. Chi Pei doesn't care whether she lives or dies.

Han Bi smiled and said, "That's very good."
