diseased bone

Zhongyang, the capital of Great India, is at the end of autumn.

After midnight, there was a clear sound of horseshoes stepping on the bluestone slabs in Siyuanfang Road, accompanied by the sound of bells that seemed to be there.

Siyuanfang has been in decline for a long time, and it is the time when the curfew is approaching. There are no pedestrians on the road, only two lonely red lanterns.

Lu Yangchun was sitting in front of the carriage, passing under one of the lamps while swinging his whip, humming an unknown song, at this moment, a gust of wind suddenly hit, and the lantern went out with a "swoosh".

Almost at the same moment, he heard the sound of a sharp knife coming out of its sheath through the air.

A man in black came diagonally from behind him with a knife, Lu Yangchun was also prepared, with the short blade out of his cuff, he received his knife with a "clang".

The man in black is very skilled, and his sword is like silver snow in the night.He didn't like to fight, after slashing this knife, he drew his knife and jumped up to the roof on one side, Lu Yangchun chased after him without hesitation, the two fought on the roof, it was hard to tell the winner for a while.

The carriage stopped alone in the middle of the road.

Just as Lu Yangchun and the man in black were concentrating on their hands, another man in black quietly stepped into the carriage.

The carriage was filled with a strong smell of blood, and there was a candlestick on the small case. Under the dim light of the candle, the man in black saw a young man in white lying on the couch.

It was cool at the end of autumn, but the young man in white was only wearing a ragged white thin shirt, and the back was broken into strips.Welts and wounds intertwined ferociously on the bare skin, and fresh blood was even oozing out. A head of long hair was scattered wetly by his side, covering his face.

Hearing that this person has just come out of the inner prison of the imperial city, seeing such a miserable scene, one cannot go wrong.

Thinking this way, the man in black slowly drew out the silver snow knife at his waist.

But before he could make a move, the half-dead young man in white in front of him actually caught his blade.

The man in black was shocked and drew his knife to leave, but the young man in white seemed to know what he wanted to do. He held the blade of his knife and pulled it forward, while the other hand quickly stretched out and twisted it. There was a crisp sound of broken wrist bones.

The candle flickered, and at that moment, the man in black could clearly see the face of the young man in white.

Although the young man in white has blood on his body, his clothes are like snow, his face is even more ice-like, his affectionate eyes are slightly raised, and only a small cinnabar mole on the eyelids is dazzlingly red on his entire face.

What a magnificent face.

At such a moment, he was actually infatuated. Even the most ruthless killer would feel his heart twitch uncontrollably when he saw this face.

But in this split second, the young man in white slowly stretched out his hand and tapped his chin. He was in unbearable pain, and after some blood froth overflowed from his mouth, he spit out a black tooth.

How would he know... that the parrot guard has poison hidden in his mouth?

The man in black was shocked, but Lu Yangchun's voice sounded from outside the curtain of the carriage: "My lord, this subordinate was too slow to attack, and he committed suicide."

"It's okay, this one is still alive," the young man in white responded casually, stretched out his hand and didn't know which acupuncture point on his body, and smiled outside, "Dayin Parrot Guard, with a knife Yinxue, must be two people, and he will pierce it if he misses it." Hiding poison to kill yourself, you don't know their habits, so you can't guard against them."

The twitching man in black on the ground coughed up blood, frowned, and said hoarsely, "How do you know..."

The young man in white didn't answer, but lifted the black mask on his face, looked at his face, and said carefully: "Did Qi Lang send you to kill me?"

Three years ago, Dayin experienced a civil strife in the palace known as the "Dingfeng Rebellion". The puppet changed the Yuan and changed the order, and uprooted the Zhou family, the third largest family that was also known as the two major families, and did it neatly, not even letting a drop of blood spill out of the palace.

Although Feng Shuo is the emperor in name, everyone knows that this child under the age of 20 is just a dog-footed emperor, and the regent Qi Lang, the eldest son of the Qi family, and Duke Wei of the Wei family monopolize the power of the inner palace, more powerful than the emperor. noble.

And the white-clothed son in front of him is Zhou Lanmu, the son of the Zhou family who was slaughtered back then.

According to rumors, he was at odds with his family and was sent to Zongzhou in the west by the Zhou family as early as five years old.During the Dingfeng Rebellion, the entire family of the Zhou family was slaughtered, and only he escaped to death because he was far away from Zhongyang.

Although he has not been in touch with his family for many years, the two great families of the regent may not be willing to let him go.At the beginning of autumn this year, Young Master Zhou was secretly recalled to Zhongyang by the two aristocratic families, and immersed himself in the inner prison of the Jinting Imperial City for a whole autumn, tortured and interrogated, and used all kinds of means—after all, The two aristocratic families are just worried about Zhou's "fish that slipped through the net", and just want to see if he has the heart to rebel.

But so many interrogations didn't yield any results. Mr. Qi wanted to spare his life out of concern for his reputation, while Mr. Wei wanted to kill the grass and roots, so he released the parrot guards.

Zhou Lanmu saw that he was silent for a long time, and sighed helplessly: "Forget it, tell Furong to clean up the corpses outside, let's take this one back first, don't let people die."

He stretched out his hand and snatched the silver snow knife from the hand of the man in black. He remembered something suddenly and said in a low voice: "Don't you see that the long pine is lying in the gully and the wind and frost are trapped, but sometimes it stands standing in the Fuming Hall... I still remember you, it's been a long time not see."

The eyes of the man in black suddenly widened, he didn't care about the pain, he stared straight at the young man in white in front of him, with the blood in his mouth surging, he almost bit his own tongue: "You...you are..."

He will never forget this sentence until the day he dies, it was personally warned by the person who trained them, word by word, sharply, never forget.

"Oh, I'm actually a bit hungry..." Zhou Lanmu sighed, but suddenly said another thing, "I want to eat crabapple crisps, have you brought Yangchun?"

Lu Yangchun's helpless voice sounded outside the curtain: "No."

Seeing that the man in black was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a while, Zhou Lanmu put one hand on the back of his neck, as if he wanted to knock him unconscious.The man in black stared at his face until his hand fell, and then said in a low voice, "It's Wei Shuqing."

Zhou Lanmu returned him a very grateful smile.

As soon as the man in black passed out, Lu Yangchun turned over and jumped into the carriage, Zhou Lanmu picked up the silver snow knife of the man in black, and handed it to him: "I can't use my hands, so you can do it, make it more realistic gone."

Lu Yangchun took the knife and said in a low voice, "Master, have you made up your mind?"

Zhou Lanmu didn't answer, but said in a very sad voice: "If I enter the palace again, I really don't know if I will be ordered to leave the palace... Alas, Imperial Physician Fang is now in another mansion, and it is not convenient to summon him. If there is any delay, Who knows if I will die directly..."

Lu Yangchun called him in shock: "Your Highness!"

"How many times have I said it, called you son!" Zhou Lanmu replied dissatisfiedly, his eyes lit up again, and he said with a smile, "I came up with this brilliant idea in the past few days, which can save myself from getting hurt, and at the same time Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds to be able to get in touch with Imperial Physician Fang in time?"

Lu Yangchun held the knife in his hand, and said bitterly: "But it's that Chu Shao! Those things he did in the past... If the young master didn't stop me, I would kill him to silence him on the first day back to Zhongyang !"

Zhou Lanmu explained the facts with a guilty conscience: "You can't beat him."

"That won't work either!" Lu Yangchun said angrily, "He's heartless and shameless, you must never have anything to do with him!"

Chu Shao was the famous "General Folding Flowers" in Great Seal, he was handsome and handsome, and with his illustrious military exploits, many women wanted to marry him back then.

But during the Dingfeng Rebellion, as a close minister of Crown Prince Chengyang, he actually betrayed the prince and took refuge in the two great families.

Everyone knows about this matter, in Lu Yangchun's eyes, this person is the most shameless person in the world.

Zhou Lanmu stared at the angry Lu Yangchun in front of him, and sighed softly.

"Yangchun, if I'm called into the palace a few more times, I'm afraid I won't be able to live for long." He said suddenly, "You know I have old wounds and lingering poison on my body, even if they can't see it, I can persist How long? Imperial Physician Fang is now living in the Chushao Mansion, if he is dragged back one day, how long do you think I can last?"

He slowly showed a slightly bitter smile: "If I don't seek some protection, let alone revenge, I won't even be able to protect myself."

"But……"

"Besides, there must be a settlement between me and him," Zhou Lanmu fiddled with his sleeves, his face gradually turned cold, "I want to find out what happened back then, to gain Qi Lang's trust, and Walking in the hall, you can't avoid borrowing his hand. And, one day..."

He didn't continue, but changed his mouth and said: "There are too many things involved in the past, and there are too many people I want to kill. How can the person I hate the most not squeeze out the last drop of value before doing it again, Yang Chun, what do you say? no?"

After Zhou Lanmu finished speaking, his throat felt slightly fishy. He lowered his head and grabbed the teapot on the small case, wanting to pour himself a cup of tea.

After so many years, talking about this person... still can't calm down.

Lu Yangchun was silent for a long while, took over and poured him a cup of tea, and offered it respectfully, with a low voice: "Then... what do you plan to do in the future, young master? He can knock on the door today with an excuse of a serious injury, but he may not take him in for a long time. The young master's status is embarrassing now, and it may not be easy for him to trust him."

Zhou Lanmu stretched out his hand to pick up his cup, but he paused when he heard the words, and after a while he showed a smile, and seemed to answer very seriously: "I haven't made up my mind yet, but look... I have a pretty face now, After recovering from the injury, how about recommending yourself as a pillow mat in his mansion, and becoming a male favorite?"

With a shake of Lu Yangchun's hand, the teacup slid to the ground and fell to pieces with a "bang".
