master and bear

In the small wooden house, there is a table and a chair, three people are sitting opposite each other, and there are three cups of herbal tea in front of them.

The light from the candlelight reflected on the paper window, and the figure moved slightly.

The man in black took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, took a deep breath and told the whole story slowly.

Tingfeng Pavilion has been established for decades, and its position in the hearts of the royal family and the famous Jianghu people is unshakable. They come and go without a trace. As long as they receive money, they will definitely get things done. They have never made mistakes, so they are very popular. trust.

But anyone who can establish a long-term relationship with Tingfeng Pavilion must have an unusual status. It is rumored that he is the current leader of the Jianghu alliance and has a secret relationship with them.

Here in Tingfeng Pavilion, it seems that no one in the world is clean. They have seen too many faces of hypocritical villains, and they no longer have any extravagant hopes for people's hearts, so naturally they don't have any sympathy.

Whether it is the prince who is praised by the people, or the master of the rivers and lakes who is respected and admired by the people of the rivers and lakes, there are dirty things that cannot be made public. up.

If there are really pure-minded people, it's only because they still don't have the ability to turn clouds and rain.

The current owner of Tingfeng Pavilion is surnamed Shan, and he is already an old man, but outsiders don't know his real appearance and age. To outsiders, everything in Tingfeng Pavilion is mysterious and unpredictable.

The only two people that the old man cares about are Meng Qing, who can be said to be brought up like a parent, and the man in black, but the man in black is not as powerful as Meng Qing, so Meng Qing has always been considered as the next Pavilion Master heirs.

But no one expected that the person most likely to become the Pavilion Master would leave alone after leaving a letter to the Pavilion Master two years ago.

Tingfeng Pavilion knows too many secrets, no one can leave completely, or die in the mission, or commit suicide, if anyone escapes, they will be chased and killed by everyone in Tingfeng Pavilion.Since Tingfeng Pavilion was established, no one has ever been able to escape alive.

Meng Qing is familiar with Tingfeng Pavilion's methods of chasing people. He has no attachments and has not much contact with people in this world. He kept moving and changing identities, and he escaped for two years without being found.

The man in black was one of those who chased and killed Meng Qing, but he had selfish intentions, and he wanted to find his elder brother earlier than the others, and then bring him back to plead guilty. If you go back, you will definitely escape the death penalty.

At the same time, there is a team of people who are still chasing and killing Meng Qing. The leader is A Yang, who is Meng Qing's deadly enemy, because he is also one of the candidates for the next Pavilion Master.

Ayang is not an orphan picked up by the owner of the pavilion, but the youngest son of a certain big man who is said to be very unusual in the world. Entered the Tingfeng Pavilion, wanting to fight for the position of the pavilion master.In fact, the master of the pavilion has noticed this great man's thoughts long ago, but the master of the pavilion thinks it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter who uses the Tingfeng Pavilion, but no matter who holds it, it must be a sharp sword that no one dares to touch. When unsheathed, there will be blood, and its prestige can never be destroyed.

So as long as Ah Yang has this ruthless heart, it doesn't matter if Tingfeng Pavilion gives it to him.

When Meng Qing was still there, A Yang's limelight had been suppressed all the time, this time Meng Qing left by himself, it was tantamount to courting death, A Yang's men would definitely not let him go.

And just when several groups of people were frantically looking for Meng Qing, and each wanted to make meritorious service in front of the pavilion master, Tingfeng Pavilion accepted three tasks.The prices for these three tasks are very high, and correspondingly, the difficulty of the tasks will not be low.

The first task is from the current crown prince. The task is to help the current crown prince eliminate the forces secretly formed by the deposed prince, mainly to kill several leaders of his forces.

The second task is from the abolished prince. The content of the task is to kill the people who helped the crown prince and make him lose their hearts.

The third task comes from the abolished prince and the crown prince. The abolished prince asked to kill the key person - the Chi family; and the crown prince asked to protect Chiguan as a witness.

Chi Guan couldn't turn his head around: "Prince... Since the prince wants someone to protect me, does he know about the plan to abolish the prince? Since he knows, why didn't he tell us in advance?"

The man in black glanced at him: "With your brain, of course you can't think of the reason."

Meng Qing explained: "The crown prince has been fighting with the deposed prince for many years, do you still remember how the crown prince brought down the deposed prince?"

Chi Guan was at a loss: "I, I only heard that he was plotted by the deposed prince and almost died, and then he was rescued by his father, who helped him pull the deposed prince down step by step..."

"The crown prince who was still the prince did it on purpose." Meng Qing said, "I hadn't started to participate in the mission back then. I only heard that the crown prince hired the killer of Tingfeng Pavilion. He was going to pretend to be dead to lure the other party to come forward and get the evidence. Then fight back. As a result, he was rescued halfway, and the plan was temporarily changed."

Meng Qing didn't expect that the task that the seniors mentioned back then was that the old man of the Chi family rescued people and forced the prince to change his plan. The prince also needed the support of someone with financial resources, so he used the plan and learned about the old man Chi. , deliberately pretending to look like Master Chi likes, and successfully bought people's hearts.

It wasn't until Chi Guan talked about the matter between the Chi family and the prince that he realized that it was the Chi family who made the move.

Chi Guan stared at him blankly, as if he didn't quite understand: "Are you pretending to be...?"

Meng Qing sighed inwardly, and rubbed Chiguan's head: "The prince and the deposed prince have been fighting for so many years, and the deposed prince has always been unwilling to reconcile and wanted to take back the position of prince. This time, both of them offered a high price to Tingfeng Pavilion , must completely pull the other party into the abyss, using extremely cruel means."

Unfortunately, these methods were used on the Chi family.

Meng Qing's eyes darkened, he really didn't want to talk about these nasty things with Chi Guan, but he had to explain clearly to Chi Guan, because Chi Guan had the right to know the truth.

"To put it simply, the abolished prince wants to kill the members of Chi's family and plant them on the prince's head. If the prince can kill all the people who once supported him, then the prince will completely lose the hearts of the people, and he will definitely leave behind the emperor. With a cold and ruthless impression, the abolished prince has a chance; and the prince got the news from somewhere, he did not stop the abolished prince's plan, but prepared to use his plan, and after the abolished prince killed the killer, he took the evidence Go to the emperor with the witnesses who have been protected and sue the crown prince for abolition, so that the crown prince will be completely destroyed, and it will be impossible to compete for the crown prince again."

Meng Qing looked at the man in black: "If I'm not mistaken, the abolished prince should have given an order that no one will be left alive, and the prince ordered someone to hunt down and kill Chiguan with a forged so-called 'Prince's Handbook'. Let him go, and even fake the fact that Chi's family members are dead, so as not to be followed by the deposed prince's manpower?"

So he forced Chi Guan down the cliff, fell into the water, and quietly rescued him from the water.If the people who abolished the prince also chased after him, they must have thought that Chi Guan would not be able to survive.

And when Chi Guan wakes up, if he wants to go back to Sixian City for revenge, he must find the prince, and the prince's staff will definitely meet him and escort him to the palace safely. As long as he tells the emperor about the prince's murder of Chi's family, the prince will Won.After all, even Meng Qing would think, if he really wanted to kill someone, how could he make it so clear who sent him?This is superfluous at all, such a suspicious emperor will only think deeper.

At that time, if the prince pretends to be wronged, cooperates with the investigation, and presents the evidence he has prepared, he will be completely convicted of abolishing the prince.

Besides, the murder was originally done by the abolished prince, and he was not wronged.

This can only be counted as murder with a borrowed knife.

Chi Guan reacted for a while before he thought about the pros and cons of it, and fell silent immediately.

The man in black admitted Meng Qing's words, and said again: "Because these three tasks require too many people, the people who were sent to look for you have temporarily withdrawn. I went back a little later than the others. Before that Fortunately, I found you first, and I wiped away all traces of you, so that Ayang and his people could not find you, and at the same time, I just received the task of responding to Chiguan."

The man in black took a look at Chiguan: "I simply sent Chiguan to you, and I want you to take Chiguan to Sixian City. As long as you help the prince and make the mission successful, you can transfer the meritorious service to you." Atonement..."

Meng Qing sighed: "You are really nosy."

The man in black pursed his lips.

From then on, everything came to light, Chi Guan didn't want to go back for revenge, and he didn't ask Meng Qing for help, and Meng Qing couldn't guess Chi Guan's identity, and the two lived a leisurely life in Kehe Village.

Both the prince and Tingfeng Pavilion are asking the man in black for someone to send back Chi Guan who has healed up, so that the plan can continue. After all, the abolished prince thinks that Chi's family is dead, and has been putting pressure on the prince. , the prince can't delay for too long.

The man in black had no choice but to take the initiative to come forward. He was afraid that meeting Meng Qing directly would reveal his true purpose, so he made a special trip to wait for Meng Qing to leave, and walked around in front of Chi Guan.

As long as Chi Guan goes back and talks, Meng Qing will know that they have been exposed, and he will naturally take Chi Guan away. As long as he pretends to chase after him, Meng Qing will take Chi Guan and run away.

Maybe Chiguan, the noble young master, couldn't stand the days of being displaced, so he wanted to go back to Sixian City.

The man in black never expected that these two people would develop such a relationship, let alone that Meng Qing would directly lure him out.

He continued to follow, and Meng Qing might not find him, but once he chased him, his traces would definitely be exposed.

Meng Qing said: "The people in Tingfeng Pavilion never take the initiative to expose others. It is enough to surprise me that you would choose to enter an overcrowded teahouse during your work."

Although he didn't react immediately, when Chi Guan talked about the past, he quickly noticed something wrong.

He was still thinking about how to lure the other party to come forward naturally. He had to escape from the tracking range when he was unprepared. When the other party rushed to find someone, he would naturally expose his traces. He didn't expect that he and Chi Guan would develop along the trend under the influence of alcohol. Relationship, this is definitely the best opportunity.

The people in Tingfeng Pavilion are not interested in eavesdropping on other people's love, especially when they are two men, and the other party chooses to enter the teahouse to reveal their identity. He already suspects that the other party is an acquaintance, so he guesses that no more than three people may be following him.

In this way, it is very convenient to escape.

He took advantage of the other party's hiding far away to avoid hearing too private voices, and his habitual thinking would not think that someone would run away directly after such a thing, so he escaped smoothly and successfully lured the person out.

"You said Tingfeng Pavilion was tricked, so what's going on?" Meng Qing narrowed his eyes.

The man in black said: "We just recently received news from the pavilion master, telling us not to go back for now. Although the pavilion master didn't specify it, something must have happened. Before, I felt strange why the missions of the crown prince and the deposed prince should be together Then, this does not conform to our rules, I had a bad premonition at the time, and now this premonition has come true. Tingfeng Pavilion is definitely being plotted, and the pavilion owner is in danger."

Meng Qing was silent, after a long time he turned around and asked Chi Guan: "Want to take revenge?"

Chi Guan wanted to say he didn't want to, but when he thought of his parents dying, Chi's house that had been burned to the ground, and the courtyard where blood flowed like rivers, the hatred that had been suppressed in his heart couldn't be controlled.

He now knew what was going on, he was still no match for the royal family, no matter whether it was the deposed prince or the prince, he was no match, and no matter who the two of them won, they would step on other people's blood and corpses as a matter of course.

How hateful, how hateful.

Chi closed his eyes and said, "I want to."

Meng Qing then turned to look at the man in black: "Go out and wait for me."

The man in black paused, took a look at Chi Guan, and went out.

Chi Guan seemed to realize something, his eyes fixed on Meng Qing.

Meng Qing said after deliberating: "I..."

"I won't allow it." Chi Guan tremblingly said, "Don't even think about going anywhere!"

Meng Qing paused, Chi Guan was indeed sensitive enough at the critical moment.

Meng Qing embraced him, kissed the corner of his brow, and followed the corner of the brow to his eyes, nose, and finally to his lips.

They kissed a long and gentle kiss, without lust - only infinite dependence and tenderness.

Chi Guan's eyes were moist: "I don't want revenge, so don't go."

Meng Qing said: "The pavilion master saved my life, I have to repay my kindness."

"You said you had nothing to do with it."

"Yes..." Meng Qing paused, "I'm sorry I broke my promise, but trust me, I will come back."

Chi Guan didn't cry this time, he looked at Meng Qing for a long time: "If I try my best to stop you, will you leave?"

Meng Qing smiled wryly: "No."

Chi Guan nodded, before Meng Qing regained consciousness, he felt that his cuffs were suddenly empty, he was taken aback, Chi Guan had snatched the dagger hidden in his sleeve, and the sharp point of the knife was on his neck.

Meng Qing's face changed suddenly: "Slow off!"

Chi Guan looked at him: "Don't go."

Meng Qing immediately said: "I won't go!"

"Really? You're not lying to me?"

"I never lied to you." Meng Qing said, "I won't leave, you put down the knife."

Chi Guan's pupils trembled slightly: "I have nothing left, I can't lose you anymore."

Meng Qing felt a pain in his heart, such a late pass made him sad, he would rather see him crying, it doesn't matter how ugly he was crying.

"I know, I know." Meng Qing nodded, "I won't leave, I promise you."

Chi Guan slowly put down the dagger, Meng Qing hurriedly took the knife away, and he hugged him in his arms: "Where did you learn these things? Are you going to scare me to death?!"

Chi Guan hugged Meng Qing, and said after a while: "If something happened to that pavilion master, you will never forgive yourself in your life, right?"

Meng Qing paused and did not speak.

The contradiction in Chi's mind was like a saw knife, pulled back and forth, he closed his eyes after a while, and said dejectedly: "Forget it, you'd better go."

"Late closing?"

"I don't want you to miss something important because of me." Chi Guan murmured, "I've already missed it, and I don't want you to do the same."
