Zhu He

Chengjiang is like practice, green water is rippling, here is a wharf, Dong Qinghe stands on the bank and looks at the big boat on the river, for some reason he came here by walking.

While he was in a daze, shouting and cursing came from not far away, a group of people in official uniforms pushed and shoved the porters passing by on the pier, yelling in their mouths to catch some wanted criminals.

Dong Qinghe looked at the blueprint in their hands, on it was a handsome young man, who else could it be if it wasn't Chang Jiaci?

Officials said that the person in the picture had set fire to dozens of people in the Liang Mansion a few days ago, and that he was a key criminal ordered by the imperial court.

Dozens of people were burned to death...

Hearing these words, Dong Qinghe frowned, and while he was deep in thought, there was a very soft moan in the distance, and there was a commotion on the pier, almost no one noticed the movement, but Dong Qinghe was not included in it.

The owner of the East Gate not only has amazing hearing, but also has extraordinary insight. He immediately noticed a strange movement at the stern of the boat, and with a slight lift of his foot, he floated there.

I saw a thin dock worker looking at the cargo box in front of him in surprise, and then waved his hand to shout to the officer over there, but just as he opened his mouth, a person suddenly jumped out of the box, that person was dressed in ragged clothes In the black robe, he was extremely thin but very fast. He held a roll of hemp rope in his hand, and wrapped it around the dock worker's neck quickly!

The worker was actually quite old, and his hair was half white. He couldn't resist being suddenly choked for breath, and fell limp after tossing a few times.

When the man in black let go of his hand, Dong Qinghe could see the other's face clearly. It was obvious that there was Chang Jiaci in front of him who was burnt to the ground by the red fire of Xuantian's Demon Falling Formation, but facing this unrecognizable "" Chang Jiaci", Dong Qinghe still felt the feeling that his chest was being torn apart.

This is not true, he said to himself in his heart, but why does he still feel distressed when he sees this person suffer.

Dong Qinghe was puzzled, Chang Jiaci over there had already stripped off the boatman's clothes neatly and put them on, and then threw the other party's body into the box he had just been staying in, with quick movements and no hesitation or self-blame on his face .

Looking at the closed cargo box, Dong Qinghe frowned even tighter.

Escaping so many pier eyes, Chang Jiaci successfully boarded the ship. This was a cargo ship bound for the capital. He had been in a daze for a long time hidden in the cargo warehouse at the bottom of the ship. When he woke up again, he found that there was a A person, so dark everywhere, but this person seems to be shining.

Chang Jiaci's originally frightened eyes burst into a nostalgic smile after recognizing his appearance, which made Dong Qinghe's heart ache.

I don't know if this illusion is too real, or because of the friendship in his heart, Dong Qinghe feels more and more that the boy in front of him and the real Chang Jiaci are just imagined like this.

Dong Qinghe lowered his body, leaned closer to the other party, and couldn't help asking softly: "How did it become like this?"

Chang Jiaci opened his already cloudy eyes, stretched out his hand to the person in front of him and said, "Why else? Our Changfu was defeated, my parents and sister are dead, my family is ruined...so I want to go to Beijing , only Shangjing can see you, I must see you..."

Dong Qinghe looked at him, with some obscure sadness in his eyes, and his eyes seemed to be too penetrating in Chang Jiaci's eyes right now, examining him thoroughly inside and out, those dark Yes, the shady thoughts and the past were put out in the open, being known by the person he least wanted him to know, which was enough to make Chang Jiaci angry from embarrassment.

Chang Jiaci suddenly withdrew his hand, and said sullenly: "What kind of eyes are you?! Are you accusing me? Everything I do is just to survive, to see you! So... others can blame me, but You are not qualified, only you...only you are not qualified!!!"

Chang Jiaci's yelling suddenly shattered the unreliable planks of the ship, and sea water poured in from all directions.

Chang Jiaci didn't seem to notice it, and still shouted at Dong Qinghe: "You hate me, I know you hate me, I let you down, right? Do you just want me to do something wrong? The second generation ancestor who knows the five grains and doesn’t know the misery? He will just wait for you to save me, and never wait?! But I tell you Lian Tang, I won’t, that idiot Chang Jiaci is dead Already been tortured to death with Chang Jiaxi and my parents! Now Chang Jiaci, no one is afraid, no one can stop, no one can bully me anymore! Whoever despises me, I will kill anyone, I will Kill anyone! No one is allowed, not even you!!"

Chang Jiaci's scream became more and more horrific, and his face was even more distorted and hideous by the dark water in the boat, like a ghost.

Dong Qinghe stretched out his hand to Chang Jiaci amidst the words "kill" all over the sky, but the tentacles caught an empty space, and looked around again, but he was no longer on the boat, there was no Chang Jiaci around, and there was no sea water , he returned to an alley.

The alley was wider and darker than the one he had first come to.In the silence, there was a heavy breathing together, and a strong smell of blood wafted from the tip of his nose.

Dong Qinghe followed the smell, and finally stopped at the end of the alley, where there was a man lying down, his plain robe was soaked in bright red, his whole body looked like a blood man.

After a while, another black figure appeared at the entrance of the alley, and the rustling footsteps made the drowsy man wake up immediately, vigilantly grasping the long sword beside him as if he wanted to fight again, although his hands were trembling. I couldn't lift it up at all.

Fortunately, the person who came was not the enemy. After seeing the lying man clearly, the person rushed over to help him up and checked his injuries.

"Tang'er, Tang'er, how are you doing?"

Lian Tang took a few breaths before muttering: "Yang Shangshu..."

Seeing that Lian Tang was still breathing, the person known as Yang Shangshu quickly pulled up a strip of cloth to stop his bleeding first, with some helplessness in his mouth.

"I sent my subordinates to lure away the person who chased and killed you. Alas, I told you to deal more with the people on the right and not to act rashly. It's good for you. You are not hitting the enemy by breaking into someone's house like this to get evidence of forming a party for personal gain. Want to play? When did you become so impulsive!"

Lian Tang let Yang Shangshu bandage him without humming a word, but a few traces of anxiety flashed in his eyes.

"I... just want to get things done quickly..."

Yang Shangshu sighed: "I understand that you are worried, but this matter is really too urgent. The right minister already knows your identity, how can you gain a foothold in the capital in the future? You even want to go to high school? And the left minister..."

"Left Prime Minister...doesn't believe me either." Lian Tang said.

"That's right. Even though the general and Prime Minister Zuo were close friends, so many years have passed, and Prime Minister Zuo is now in a high position. Even if I speak for you, even if he has the heart, he won't take the risk easily, let alone for a A boy of unknown origin."

Yang Shangshu said, looking at Shang Liantang's thoughtful face, he said again: "It's the same sentence, if you want to deal with the right minister and avenge your family, you need to gain the trust of the left minister and let him know that you are You are of one mind with us, and there is the best solution in front of you, it just depends on whether you are willing or not."

"But this is too unfair to your Yang family..."

Lian Tang's hesitation was interrupted by Yang Shangshu.

"There is no injustice. This is the debt our family owes to General Lian, and the Right Prime Minister has already set his sights on me. If we don't bring him down quickly, our Yang family will suffer sooner or later. And it's not that you don't know that the little girl is actually... "

After hearing this, Lian Tang showed hesitation: "Let, let me think about it..."

"Okay, you can think about it, but you have to be quick. The sooner you finish it, the sooner you can go home, or take over the person you miss."

As he spoke, Yang Shangshu raised the man up.

Lian Tang suddenly said, "I want to... write a letter back."

Yang Shangshu disagreed: "No, if the right minister finds out, it will only hurt them."

"I just want to know...are they okay."

"I sent people to investigate. They are better than you. At least in the short term, their lives will be safe. But if you want to bring them over, it's hard to say..."

Looking at the backs of the two staggering towards the entrance of the alley, Dong Qinghe felt his heart sink even more when he heard the last words floating in his ears.

"Lian Tang, you have no turning back..."

********

Seeing that Qiu Muwang and Weiqiong were more and more disturbed by the "black crow", the two elders who were frequently restrained by Yanmen were unable to fight back. Although they had doubts about Chang Jiaci's words, Shen Yuanxiu and Yu Miao didn't have time to think too much, so he could only follow his instructions and leave in a hurry.

Yu Miao flew to Pianshiju by himself with two wounded patients. As soon as he landed, he asked strangely, "Jiaci, what are we doing here?"

Chang Jiaci looked at the two boys lying down on the ground, exhaled and said, "Catch the traitor."

"The insider, the insider is living in Pianshi?"

As soon as Yu Miao finished speaking, several people had already arrived at the South Courtyard. The black mist here was not as thick as compared to other parts of Qinghe Gate. After passing through a grove of trees, Chang Jiaci and the others found a dark fog in a corner. The very inconspicuous talisman array, but only ten feet wide, according to Shen Yuanxiu's conclusion, is exactly the eye of the "Mo Crow".

However, before they approached, a figure loomed over there, firmly blocking the front of the formation.

Compared to the shock of Shen Yuanxiu and Yu Miao, Chang Jiaci, who saw the other party, seemed much calmer, and even raised a disdainful smile at the corner of his mouth, and said coolly: "It really is you...Qing Lang. "

The warm and warm face in the past has now been replaced by Shen Hei's cold and stern. Qing Lang looked at Chang Jiaci, then at Shen Yuanxiu and the others, and said sinisterly, "Why did you come here to seek death?"

Chang Jiaci responded with a sneer, Shen Yuanxiu's face sank like water, only Yu Miao asked Qinglang with a sad face: "Then you, why did you betray us, sect master... treats you so well..."

Qing Lang's complexion remained unchanged, he only glanced at Yu Miao, and then his eyes fell on Shen Yuanxiu.

"You are not the only one who feeds people in spiritual practice."

Yu Miao didn't understand, Chang Jia said: "What he means is that he was brought up by the devil."

However, he turned his head and narrowed his eyes again.

"Besides you, there is also that surnamed Song. You are all lackeys raised by Yanmen since they were young. It seems that You Zhen has already prepared for it after being dormant for so long."

Shen Yuanxiu also lowered his face: "In this way, the Qinghemen may not be the only ones who have traitors."

"That's right, those sects should all be overwhelmed by the 'Black Crow' right now, and if you want to die well, you should capture them as soon as possible." Qing Lang said, slowly melting a long sword in his hand.

"It's up to you?" Chang Jiaci snorted coldly.

Qing Lang shook his head: "My cultivation level is indeed not high, but it is enough to deal with you now."

After saying that, the long sword flashed and stabbed at Chang Jiaci first!

But Chang Jiaci, who was already limp, suddenly jumped up on the spot, dodged the blow with a sway, and hit Qing Lang's waist and abdomen with a palm.

Qing Lang took two quick steps back, horror flashed in his eyes: "You..." Wasn't he poisoned?

But soon he found that he was not seriously injured. If it was Chang Jiaci in the past, he would have died.

"It seems that you are holding on."

"I'll give you back the good things you said, even if I force myself...to deal with you, it's enough," Chang Jiaci said, his chest heaving sharply, and he glanced back at Shen Yuanxiu and Yu Miao and said, "You go Block that broken formation, he will give it to me."

Yu Miao still seemed to be hesitant, while Shen Yuanxiu quickly walked towards the eye of the formation, but after the two of them took two steps, another person appeared in front of him. Compared with Qing Lang, his momentum was obviously much stronger.

Yu Miao took a step back: "Song, Brother Song..."

Song Jishan looks very good, looks decent, and has made great achievements in the school for a long time, so he should not be suspected by others. You can see Yu Miao's face that is about to cry without tears, and Song Jishan's eyes are full of tears. Anger: "Xiaoyu, I told you to keep it a secret for me, but you told others and betrayed me."

"I, I..." The little coward Yu Miao was overwhelmed by Song Jishan's intimidating aura, and was speechless for a while.

Chang Jiaci, who had already fought with Qinglang, was still able to distract himself from that place, and when he heard this, he was naturally furious: "Yu Miao, you are afraid of a fart, he is also holding on!"

Although he was scolding Yu Miao, Chang Jiaci was also a little surprised. Song Jishan had tried his best to pretend to be normal, but his state could not be hidden from Chang Jiaci, and the other party was obviously injured.He came to question Yu Miao, as if he felt that his identity was exposed because of this?But Chang Jiaci had already figured out that the person surnamed Song was Moxiu's spy before, but he was looking forward to You Zhen's death, but he would not kindly take care of their Qinghemen's affairs, so Chang Jiaci didn't talk too much about it. How was Song Jishan's identity guessed before today?How did you get hurt?

After thinking about it, there are only two people.

...Dong Qinghe, or Murong Jiaoyang.

When Elder Jin was attacked, Yu Miao became the biggest suspect, but Dong Qinghe knew it wouldn't be him, they just wanted to force Yu Miao to reveal the person hiding behind them, and since they could guess Song Jishan, Yu Miao usually would Make friends with these people... Can Dong Qinghe and Murong Jiaoyang not guess?They may have planned it long ago, they just wanted to follow the clues to catch the person behind him without moving Song Jishan, but they didn't want to be caught off guard by the matter of the real Wuyang.

The long-legged chicken really knows everything inside the door.

"Yu Miao, why are you staring blankly! The man surnamed Song has been cursed, he is already at the end of his strength, why should you be afraid!"

Following Chang Jiaci's yell, Yu Miao was clever, facing Song Jishan who was walking straight towards him, the other party's eyes were fierce, but his face was clear, Yu Miao couldn't help swallowing.

On the left, Chang Jiaci is fighting Qinglang to the death, while on the right, Shen Yuanxiu is struggling to move into the formation. The only one who can deal with Brother Song is himself, only himself...

Thinking of all these years of uneasiness, humbleness and scruples, but the person in front of him has been lying to him, Yu Miao felt a fire burning in his chest.

When the sword in Song Jishan's hand was slashing at him, Yu Miao yelled suddenly, and while crying, he drew out his long sword and stabbed at him too!

Seeing that Chang Jiaci was able to take the time to talk to Yu Miao, Qing Lang on the other end also became angry, and he deliberately asked, "When did you know my identity?"
