[Comprehensive Martial Arts] Known as the killing star, I am in love

"That year when I first arrived in the capital, I was full of thoughts of obtaining fame and fame to realize my ambitions. Unfortunately, my pockets were too small at the time. After buying books and pens and ink, there was not much left. In desperation, I had to sell calligraphy and paintings on the street, but I just Standing there like a piece of wood doesn't know how to yell, so I didn't sell a picture until the evening, when I was hungry, Yu Ze appeared..."

Gu Xichao looked at the painting, then glanced at the doors and windows that had been tightly closed from beginning to end, and seeing that there was no movement inside, he showed a happy smile, and continued talking.

……

"Scholar, you are good at drawing."

At that time, Gu Xichao was rushing away the fourth person who ordered a portrait of a lady from him, and his stomach was rumbling, singing empty city tricks.

However, just as he was considering whether to eat a steamed bun to deal with it tonight, a clear voice suddenly came from above.

look up.

On the tree trunk behind him, a man in black and a black robe came into view.

This man's cover is too strict.

Black boots, black clothes, black robe, black mask, only a pair of dark green eyes are exposed from the whole body.

Gu Xichao was a little vigilant, he took a look at the man, then his gaze was fixed on the man's cloak, and he didn't move.

Gu Xichao is not a pure scholar, or he is not just a scholar.

The black cloak was long and thick, but the color was exceptionally dark, and it was tightly attached to the tree trunk under the man, as if it had been wet.

Gu Xichao's expression gradually became serious, he knew what was on the cloak at the first glance.

is blood.

Countless blood.

That cloak was completely wet with blood!

At this time, the sun had already set, leaving only the last afterglow, a small half of the sky dyed red.

It was already dinner time, but the night market hadn't opened yet, and there were very few people on the street.

The man just sat on the tree trunk, looking down at him like a pitch-black crow.

At that moment, Gu Xichao thought a lot, and the little axe in his sleeve was ready to go, ready to roar out at any time, and directly grab the head of the person in front of him. .

But Wu Hung, the man in black, seemed unaware of all this, and was still grinning.

"Why are you so vigilant, I don't kill innocent people."

Gu Xichao's posture was straight, she stood there without saying a word, but the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, showing her disbelief.

As a result, his dark green eyes dimmed a bit, as if he was a little unhappy, and also a little helpless as expected.

Yu Ze curled his lips, took off his cloak, jumped off the tree trunk, and walked to the front of the paintings to take a closer look.

He didn't dare to get too close, the blood on his body would stain the white drawing paper.

"This painting of plum blossoms is really good. The branches are thin and strong, and the posture is refined and proud."

He admired and couldn't help reaching out to touch it, but then stopped in the middle.

Gu Xichao was stunned, looking into Yu Ze's sparkling eyes, he knew that this person was not just talking casually, but sincerely.

So he narrowed his eyes slightly, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

"But the current Holy Majesty doesn't like plum blossoms, he likes pictures of ladies."

Gu Xi stepped forward to take away the painting.

"He doesn't like Xingkai either, he likes Shoujin."

Gu Xichao's eyes paused for a moment at the signature on the painting.

It is obviously a thin golden body with thin and hard strokes, but it is smooth and lively at the turning point, like a dragon swimming.

"Unfortunately, I didn't practice well."

Yu Ze didn't speak, just tilted his head and stared at him.

"You don't have to be liked by others."

"No, I just want to please him alone." Gu Xichao smiled and put away the second painting, "Maybe in a few days, I might even be willing to draw pictures of ladies."

"It's you." He looked Yu Ze up and down, focusing on his unusual eyes, with a rare curiosity in them, "Your conversation...doesn't match your attire."

"Well," Yu Ze rolled his eyes, "My father is a scholar, and he expected me to get a good name in the exam, govern the country, regulate the family and the world. When I was young, I was pressured to read a lot of books, but it's a pity that I don't have much talent."

"I don't think you seem untalented."

"Well, maybe a little..."

Yu Ze squeezed his index finger and thumb together for a small distance.

"But being talented and liking are two different things. I don't like reading."

"If so what do you like?"

Yu Ze stopped talking.

He remained silent, staring at Gu Xichao in front of him.

The corner of the mouth under the mask curled into a smile.

"I like killing people."

……

As soon as these words came out, the two of them fell silent.

"Surprise?"

Gu Xichao looked at him with a smile, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

"You should have guessed his identity. After all, he didn't intend to hide it deliberately. And Xiangshuai is well-informed, so he has heard of 'Raksha ghost'. Most of the rumors in the world are embellished. Only this is the real thing, or The actual situation is far better than the rumors in the rivers and lakes—after all, Xuanshui Tower helped him do a lot of finishing work."

"Impossible, no one likes to kill people."

Chu Liuxiang looked ugly.

"Why is it impossible?" Gu Xichao's smile deepened a little, as if he was looking at an ignorant child, "In this world, some people are born to like coriander, some people are born to like roses, why is there no one who is born to like killing people?"

"To him, killing people is like eating and drinking water. It's okay to endure for a day or two, and it's not enough to endure for three or six days. But if it takes a long time, it will be difficult for others."

Gu Xi shook the folding fan lightly.

Seeing that Chu Liuxiang was still hesitant, he put away his fan and tapped his palms, and told another story.

"That day he bought all my paintings, which helped me settle my troubles for the next few days, but I didn't know his name at that time, and I didn't see him again for a long time after that. I thought it was just a one-off. We met by chance, but I didn't expect to meet again four years later, and this time, he really saved my life..."

"Four years ago, I was deprived of fame because of my birth, and I had nowhere to go to seek refuge with Cai Xiang, and the certificate of fame was the head of Qi Shaoshang."

"I deliberately concealed my identity in order not to cause trouble, but if you mentioned chasing Qi Shaoshang thousands of miles away, then you should know who I am."

Chu Liuxiang frowned slightly.

"At that time, I had just slaughtered Rui Nuo City, and then I heard the news - he thought I was not good at doing things, so he let Qi Shaoshang go, and he wanted to hand over the job of chasing and killing Qi Shaoshang to others..."

Gu Xichao said lightly, that indifferent attitude made Chu Liuxiang feel chills in his heart, he had never been so clearly aware that the elegant scholar with fluttering coat in front of him was the villain that Shao Xingjian said had done all kinds of evil.

Gu Xichao seemed not to see it, and poured a cup of tea by himself.

"If I really did this, then I probably won't have a bright future, so I rushed back to the capital overnight, but it was getting late at that time, so I found an inn to stay in desperation, and planned to meet Cai the next day. phase. But that night..."

Gu Xichao paused, as if recalling the scene at that time, her expression became solemn.

"...Cai Yuen was stabbed, and the torches of the search lit up half of the capital. I felt something was wrong, so I rushed to Cai's mansion, but it was a step too late."

"Under the moonlight, Yu Ze was standing in a brightly lit room with a scimitar, the blood dripping from the tip of the knife pooled into a small pool on the ground, and beside his feet lay the corpse of Prime Minister Cai, dripping with blood. Answer, the body is still warm..."
