The flower is a tulip [Chu Liuxiang]

Because he and Hua Manlou had the same speculation, Chu Liuxiang urgently proposed to Dai Duxing that he would meet the assassin who broke into the helm of the beggar gang alone.When Dai Duxing saw their expressions, he became even more curious.So a disciple led the way, and these people went to the place where the assassin was held in a mighty manner.

The Beggars' Gang is not a government office, and does not have a special prison, so the assassin was only locked in the lowest and darkest warehouse deep in the courtyard.However, before Dai Duxing approached, he frowned and said, "Didn't you say someone is guarding him? Where are they?"

The disciple who led the way was taken aback, and ran forward first, only then saw two people falling asleep at the door of the warehouse, but the door was ajar.The disciple hurriedly kicked the two of them awake, and said angrily, "When did you fall asleep! You don't even know if someone ran away!"

Chu Liuxiang was secretly proud, covered her mouth with her nose-touching hand, leaned into Hua Manlou's ear and said, "Could it be that they think that a mere woodshed can lock him up?"

Hua Manlou shook his head with a smile, but the smile disappeared from his face immediately, and his answer was much louder than a whisper: "There is someone in the room."

Dai Duxing's eyes jumped, and he was the first to react. He stretched out his hand and dragged the three disciples at the door behind him, before carefully pushing open the door that had been cracked open.

Dim light shone into the narrow room, and also revealed the silhouettes of two figures in the corner.

The two guard disciples just woke up rubbing their eyes. When they saw the scene inside, they immediately let out a loud "Wow", pointed at the figure and were speechless.

Dai Duxing said in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

The disciple who led the way also had an incredulous look on his face, and he stammered, "This...she...how did she come here?"

The "she" he mentioned was the white figure squatting on the ground.Looking from the door, one can only see a slim figure.Even after hearing so many people talking and shouting at the door, the figure still didn't even look back.

Chu Liuxiang suddenly knew who it was.

Before him was a very strange scene.Zhongyuan Dianhong, that is, the captured assassin, was leaning against the wall at this time.It seemed that he couldn't lift his hand, so Qu Wurong, who was squatting beside him and still wearing a veil, was holding a cup to his mouth, feeding him water bit by bit.

These two people came from outside, until the door was pushed open, they didn't look this way, and they didn't make any other actions.It's as if the world in their minds is only the person in front of them.

The three beggar gang disciples, even Dai Duxing were stunned.Chu Liuxiang and the others also stopped at the door.

A little red finally finished the glass of water.Qu Wurong looked at him and said, "Do you want more?"

Her voice was still so icy and cold, as if there was no emotion at all.Only Huamanlou who knows her well can hear her concern.

A little red turned her head slowly, never looked at her again, gasped for a while before saying: "You go."

Qu Wurong stood up obediently, nodded and said, "Then I'll go back first."

Chu Liuxiang and the others suddenly felt a little baffled.Where exactly does Qu Wurong live?Why can you come and see a little red?

Bithong gritted her teeth and said loudly, "I tell you to go!"

His gaze, in the dark place, has turned green again.Those green pupils are now staring at Chu Liuxiang.

Chu Liuxiang smiled at him, and was about to say hello, when a little red said again: "You go with them."

It's really not like a greeting.Chu Liuxiang thought for a long time before realizing that he was still talking to Qu Wurong.

Qu Wurong just said indifferently: "I won't go with them. I won't go anywhere."

The little red body seemed to tremble, and at the same time there was a slight metal impact sound.It was only then that Chu Liuxiang and the others realized that Yidianhong was chained to the wall, so he could neither stand up nor lie down.

Before Chu Liuxiang had time to express his anger at this kind of abuse, Yidianhong hissed: "If you don't leave, I will die!"

His voice was full of desperation.Not only Qu Wurong, almost everyone can hear that he has already decided to give up his life.This kind of plain threat is just to make Qu Wurong leave.

Everyone was stunned.In their memory, Yidianhong was still the partner who walked into the desert with them and experienced countless dangers together.He is indifferent on the outside, but warm and simple in his heart, as long as it is a friend he recognizes, he will do anything for it.

Moreover, they all know that under Huamanlou's persuasion and influence, Yidianhong has gradually shed her former status as "the number one killer in the Central Plains" and began to know how to respect and cherish life.

What made him like this again?Become as ruthless as before, killing innocent people at will, even disdain for their own lives?

Chu Liuxiang couldn't help touching the bronze medal in his sleeve pocket.He vaguely felt that the answer could be found there.

Qu Wurong's attitude was much calmer than these people.She just said slowly: "I already said that we can die together."

A little red body trembled again, his eyes finally returned to Qu Wurong, he seemed to hesitate and said: "You..."

Qu Wurong laughed softly, and said: "If you die, I will die. You can't stop me."

Yidianhong said again: "You!..." He seemed to be unable to say anything else, staring at Qu Wurong, panting even more violently.After a while, he coughed suddenly, and his whole body trembled like a leaf in the wind.

Qu Wurong didn't go forward, but still stood there, looking at him.

Chu Liuxiang and the others were already moved, and Hu Tiehua rushed up impatiently, grabbed a little red shoulder and said, "Xiaohong, what's the matter with you! Why did you chase Miss Qu away? How can a mere gang of beggars be trapped?" you?"

Chu Liuxiang coughed before he finished speaking, and glanced at Dai Duxing beside him.Dai Duxing's expression was not good, he forced a smile and said, "Is this Xiangshuai's friend?"

Before Chu Liuxiang could reply, Yidianhong had already said: "I... don't know him! These people... I don't know any of them!"

Although he still wanted to speak louder, he couldn't catch his breath. He spoke these two sentences intermittently, and he seemed very weak.

Qu Wurong walked over slowly, grabbed Hu Tiehua's wrist, peeled off his palm from the little red shoulder, and said: "Don't touch him."

Hu Tiehua was stunned for a long time, only then did he see clearly that the clothes all over Dianhong's body were torn and stained with large dark bloodstains.It was because the room was so dark that no one noticed it before.

The most frightening thing was that the two iron chains went directly through his collarbone and were nailed to the wall behind him.So Yidianhong could only maintain this posture, unable to even raise her arms.

Hu Tiehua's hands also trembled. He had just realized how much pain his actions had caused to a little red.He looked at the red and pale face apologetically, and seemed to want to say something, but he couldn't say a word.A little red just gritted her teeth and turned her head away, never looking at anyone again.

Hu Tiehua stood up abruptly, turned to stare at Dai Duxing and said, "What a gang of beggars, they can abuse lynching!"

Dai Duxing's face turned red, staring at the disciples around him, his eyes seemed to burst into flames.The disciple was so frightened that he bowed down, and only one of them stammered: "Chang...report to the elder...this assassin...Elder Liu was seriously injured by him, and he still hasn't woken up. I want to find out who is behind the scenes. And... and this person is not weak in martial arts, I am afraid that he will escape..."

Ji Bingyan immediately said coldly: "Old Hu is right, if he wants to escape, how can a mere gang of beggars trap him?"

Seeing that Yidianhong was being tortured like this, they couldn't restrain their anger, and they wished they could fight with someone.

Dai Duxing naturally saw what they meant, and hurriedly looked at Chu Liuxiang and said, "My friend Xiangshuai...even if there was some misunderstanding, but he hurt Elder Liu after all, Xiangshuai thinks..."

Chu Liuxiang sighed, and said, "We can all guarantee that he won't run away. Can you ask senior to order someone to remove the torture device first, and help him take a look at the wound?"

Yidianhong had been listening to them in silence, and immediately said: "I don't know you, and you don't have to..."

He didn't finish his words, but a hand stretched out and hit his sleeping point.Qu Wurong approached in full view, stared at Dai Duxing and asked, "Do you have a hammer?"

The hammer is used to smash the chain.

Under the gaze of Chu Liuxiang and his group, the hammer was quickly brought.Qu Wurong didn't let others do it, he knocked the iron chain off the wall with clanging clangs, and pressed the little red body, pulling out the blood-stained instrument of torture.

Even though the acupoints were tapped, Yidianhong still woke up from the pain, but she gritted her teeth and remained silent.On the contrary, Chu Liuxiang and the others were thrilled to see it.

Although Hua Manlou couldn't see it, she was already aware of what happened, and couldn't help but clasped hands with Chu Liuxiang again, tightly refusing to let go.

After finishing all this, Qu Wurong directly picked up Yidianhong and walked out the door without looking.

Finally, a beggar gang disciple who recovered from his shock stopped in front of her, and said tremblingly, "You...where are you going?"

Qu Wurong said: "Of course it's going to my room."

The disciple said: "How on earth did you come out?"

Qu Wurong said indifferently: "The two guards at my gate like to take a nap when it gets dark."

◇ ◆ ◇

Everyone followed Qu Wurong to "her room" in a daze.This was originally the place where the beggar gang arranged to imprison her, but it was much cleaner and tidy than the woodshed where Yidianhong was, and the guards were much looser.

With a dark face, Dai Duxing kicked the other two disciples who were sleeping at the door to wake up.He knew that these two people, like the one at the door of the firewood room, fell asleep after being pressed by Qu Wurong, and this must not be the first time, but none of them realized it.

Dai Duxing felt that the beggar gang really wanted to take care of it.

And Chu Liuxiang and the others were also staring at him at this time, as if they wanted him to explain.

Dai Duxing could only cough, and said, "I'm still confused about this, can you please explain to me?"

Although Yidianhong's injuries were severe, she was still not unconscious.He seemed to have undergone severe training, and even in this situation he still tried his best to maintain his sanity, but Chu Liuxiang didn't want him to talk anymore.

Liu Yanfei thought for a while, then walked up to Qu Wurong, and said, "Give him to me."

Qu Wurong, and others immediately understood what he meant.

Liu Yanfei is the one with the cleanest reputation and the most fair stand among this group of people.Let him take care of a little red, the beggars will feel more at ease.And Chu Liuxiang and the others naturally trusted him wholeheartedly.

As for Dianhong's experience, even if Qu Wurong didn't know all about it, he might be able to explain it more clearly than Dianhong herself.

Qu Wurong handed a little red into Liu Yanfei's arms, and followed Chu Liuxiang and the others back to the main hall.Although her face was veiled, there was a resolute look in her eyes.

"I caught up with him near the Songjiang mansion." Qu Wurong began her narration like this, and the people in the room, whether it was Chu Liuxiang and his friends, or Dai Duxing and other members of the beggar gang, could not help but listen quietly. .They all intuitively believed that this girl would not lie.

"He didn't want to take me with me, or follow me. When he saw me, he looked like he was seeing me for the first time."

When Qu Wurong said these words, he was still very calm, and he couldn't hear any grievances or complaints.Perhaps only those who know her very well will realize her deep feelings behind this tranquility.

It is only because she always believes that there is a good reason for what Yidianhong does, so she uses such simple words to describe the rejection she has received.She had already understood that Yidianhong never thought about herself, so her sudden departure and unexpected indifference towards her only meant one thing.

Yidianhong was thinking about her, he hoped that she could live a good life, so he left.

"But I followed him all the time." Qu Wurong said, "On the third day, I found that he was being hunted down."

"Chase?"

Hu Tiehua was the one who asked this question at the same time as Chu Liuxiang.The expression on Hu Tiehua's face was like seeing a rooster laying eggs and an old sow climbing a tree.

He said incredulously: "How could someone in this world chase after Zhongyuan Yidianhong? Who can kill the number one killer in the Central Plains?"

It was already too late when Chu Liuxiang wanted to stop him, Dai Duxing said "Oh", and suddenly said: "It turns out that young man is Zhongyuan Dianhong, no wonder Elder Liu is powerless to fight back! It's just that I heard that Zhongyuan Dianhong came from under the sword No life left..."

Chu Liuxiang suddenly remembered that night in Jinan City, when Huamanlou rescued the disciple of the Tianxing Gang from Didianhong.

At that moment, it wasn't just one person's fate that changed.

Qu Wurong said indifferently: "It's because he never intended to kill Elder Liu."

Dai Duxing was stunned for a moment, but he didn't ask any more questions, but continued to listen to Qu Wurong.

"I could see that he didn't intend to kill anyone. Although those men were chasing him and wanting to kill him, he repeatedly gave up the chance to kill them and get away."

"So we can only escape."

"Those people's martial arts are very strange. Although they don't look very brilliant, they are very practical. We have fought against each other several times, and I was almost injured by those people's swords. He... he began to worry, worried that he would hurt me, I Just tell him, if we die, we die together."

"He seemed a little angry with my decision, but he still came up with a way. He led me into the main rudder of the beggar gang, and assassinated Elder Liu, who was acting as the gang leader."

Dai Duxing was completely stunned, he stared at Qu Wurong, as if he could see the connection of this matter from her veiled face.But he finally murmured: "Why is that?"

Qu Wurong sneered and said: "Fengyang is where the head of the Beggar Gang is located, the Beggar Gang must be very powerful. If he kills the acting leader, how can the Beggar Gang let him go?"

Chu Liuxiang's gaze flashed, and he continued, "You mean, he would rather die at the hands of the beggar gang than be killed by those people?"

Qu Wurong said: "The beggar gang doesn't have the ability to kill him."

She was sitting in the main hall of the head of the beggar gang, and it was considered rude to say such words in front of Dai Duxing.But not only Dai Duxing, but even the disciples of the Beggar Clan who guarded and interrogated Dianhong before, when they thought of that indifferent young man, who was the number one killer in the Central Plains, they didn't dare to refute.

Qu Wurong continued: "He didn't kill Elder Liu with a single sword, these heroes who pretend to be righteous will not kill him right away, and they must want to know who sent him to assassinate. It's just...just their interrogation In fact, there is not much difference between the means and those low-level sects."

Dai Duxing couldn't help coughing heavily, and looked around.All the disciples of the Beggar Clan who were caught by his coercive gaze lowered their heads in fear.

But Hu Tiehua wondered: "Why is he doing this? Putting himself in the hands of others, and asking them to torture and humiliate him, might as well be killed with a single sword!"

Qu Wurong didn't answer right away, she seemed to bite her lip hard, and tears gradually welled up in her eyes.After a long time, she tremblingly said: "He... he did all this for me... so that I can get the protection of the beggar gang..."

Chu Liuxiang's eyes flickered, and he continued: "Because he failed in the assassination, and you are his accomplice, so the beggar gang will arrest both of you. But you didn't make a move, and you are a girl again, and no one will embarrassing you, is it?"

Qu Wurong nodded and said: "Yes, this is his plan. Besides, he is in the beggar gang, and it is difficult for those who chased him to come in. He sneaked in a few times and was discovered by him before he even reached the door of his room." .He's always finding a way to get his guards to notice..."

Hu Tiehua burst out laughing suddenly, patted Dai Duxing on the shoulder and said: "Elder Dai, you disciples and grandchildren, you should also train, teach, teach, teach! The people who came here can't tell whether they are friends or enemies. He's here to save people!" He just felt overwhelmed, as if he had just vented his anger at Dianhong, then turned to look at Ji Bingyan and said, "Old Ji, we all misunderstood Xiaohong too, Who would have thought that he has so many evil minds, playing tricks on a gang of beggars!"

Ji Bingyan just smiled lightly and said: "He is for Miss Qu, so he dared to risk his own life. He said that he would not kill anyone again, so he did not kill Elder Liu, and he was able to make this scene, which is really impressive. People admire."

Dai Duxing couldn't bear it any longer, and Ji Bingyan's words were obviously implying to him that there was a reason for the little red thing, and it didn't hurt anyone's life. If he wanted to pursue it, it would be too inhumane.

For the first time, this senior elder of the Beggar Gang realized that Chu Liuxiang was not the only difficult person in this world.
