For whom do you linger [The Loyal Dog Guard Shou]

There is an ancient pagoda on the border of Huaiyang. It is said that it was built by local officials in the early days of the previous dynasty to please the emperor. It is used to store relics in the center of the entire Buddhist temple.However, after years of war, frost and snow, the Buddhist temple has long since disappeared, leaving only a pagoda in disrepair for a long time, crookedly stuck there, and passers-by are afraid that the wind will blow away the rubble and be smashed to pieces.

In the dead of night, the insects kept chirping.

Under the moonlight, a black shadow appeared and disappeared, and disappeared when it passed the tower.

On the second day, there were a few more corpses under the pagoda, all of them were martial arts practitioners.

Recently there have been rumors that He Lianqing is coming to Huaiyang, and now people have died in the border of Huaiyang, people can't help but think of him again.The story of the destruction of the Four Houses had spread in the Jianghu, and everyone was in danger for a long time, but in the end most people still had nothing to do with themselves and lived a stable life that was no different from before.

As we all know, the Sifu was destroyed because of the past 15 years ago, and people who have nothing to do with it will naturally be safe.There is a grievance and a debtor, and the heads of the four houses deserve what they deserve, but they dragged all the people in the house to their lives.After tea and dinner, anyone who has anything to do with this Jianghu will inevitably sigh about this matter.

Gradually, from simply demonizing Helian, he turned to lamenting the ruin of his childhood and being obsessed with hatred. In connection with the accident of the past year, he said that he escaped from the massacre of a certain family in the four prefectures...

It seems that they are familiar with all the causes and effects between 15 years ago and 15 years later, and they can tell how ugly they are.

In this junction of city and countryside where people come and go, there are especially no exceptions.

There is not only an ancient pagoda, but also a teahouse for people passing by to have a rest.Now that people are dead, not only has it not become deserted, but it has become more lively.

The high-spirited talk is mostly inference and speculation about this matter.

"I heard that the Martial Arts League sent them to Huaiyang to hunt down He Lianqing, and they stopped here before they entered the city." The waiter in the teahouse put down a bowl of plain noodles, and then took a teapot to make a cup of coarse tea. He said warmly, "Guests should go to the city as soon as they have eaten and drank their fill. Don't happen to encounter a wave of melee and get accidentally injured again."

The person sitting in front of the table was unsmiling, with even a gloomy expression on his face, Xiao Er was beating drums in his heart and making friends with him flatteringly.

"Has there been a scuffle here?" It should take two days to get from Qingtai to Huaiyang. Could it be that he was late?

Xiaoer obviously didn't expect this person to answer the conversation. When he heard him ask this, he suddenly regained his energy and said in a subdued voice: "Yeah, four of them died just now! They were dragged to Yizhuang early in the morning!"

"..." The four who just died were obviously killed by him under the tower last night, there was never a scuffle.Knowing that the little girl was making alarmist remarks, Luo Zheng stopped talking and began to eat noodles quietly.

Xiao Er didn't care, seeing that he was no longer interested in chatting, so he ran to another table to say hello.

Luo Zheng's hand holding the chopsticks paused, and his heart sank again and again.

It took so long for that person to decide to come to Huaiyang, probably not just to avoid being chased by the Wulin League.

These days, he often thinks of Luo Zhizhang's hesitant words at that time, about Mrs. Lu, about the owner's inner demons since childhood, about...the owner's anger and disgust towards him.

He closed his eyes severely, drove away the increasingly uncontrollable chaotic thoughts, and focused on the few men with swords sitting not far away.

There are several tables of guests sitting in this teahouse, in twos and threes, they are all dusty, but they are not very conspicuous, but these few people are really high-profile.

It was still early in the morning, and those people were wearing night clothes but sitting in the teahouse drinking tea swaggeringly. During the conversation, they did not shy away from saying that they were ordered by the leader of the alliance to track down Helian Qing's whereabouts, and threatened to do justice for the sky.

Among them, the older one said: "He Lianqing is still seriously injured and is isolated and helpless. It is a good time for us to arrest him."

The other person nodded and said, "Tingyu Tower is still a mess now, and it won't be a climate. If we can kill He Lianqing first in the Huaishan Sword Sect's territory, then we will become famous and become famous, and the brothers will dominate the world just around the corner!"

"That's right, the four great aristocratic families have been almost wiped out. In the final analysis, they can't turn over. If this happens, there will definitely be a place for our Xuanfeng Sect in the world in the future."

"..."

Xuanfeng religion?

Luo Zheng stroked the teacup in his hand, took a sip, and covered his lips with a sneer.

The small sect known as the No. [-] swordsmanship in Northwest China has four secret books including swordsmanship and heart formulas. There are copies of all of them kept in Lin's study in Tingyulou.

These people simply don't know how to live or die.

Luo Zheng couldn't help but find it ridiculous that these righteous teachers of righteousness were all harboring evil intentions, and they were not as bright and upright as the demons and heretics they said.

The Si Fu has a high status in the Jianghu, and it is inevitable that people will envy them for many years.Now that the dynasty is in decline, there are very few people who really want to avenge the Sifu, most of them are like Xuanfengjiao, who want to kill He Lianqing to make a name for themselves in the Jianghu.People claim to be righteous in front of others, but secretly wish they could get a clear account of their interests.There are also some who overestimate themselves and want to compete against each other, in order to let the world recognize that their miraculous skills are the best in the world.

Luo Zheng's eyes darkened, he knew that Tang Yi was following He Lianqing now, and the so-called unhealed serious injury was just a rumor.It is true that Tingyulou's Jiangnan station has been emptied out, but there are still many spies scattered all over the country and killers sent to the other three places. As long as they hide their strengths and bide their time for a while, Tingyulou will surely recover.The argument of isolation and helplessness is also not true.

But in the current situation, it must be said that he was surrounded by enemies. At the foot of the Huaishan Sword Sect, even the slightest movement would attract Mo Wuhuan's attention.

But Huaiyang must be the last destination of that person, so Luo Zheng had to guard the border a few days in advance. He hid in the ancient pagoda for a whole day and night, and finally waited for the four killers.

When He Lianqing was recovering from his injuries in Qingtai, those four people got the news from nowhere and chased them all the way. They guarded the news for fear of being robbed by others, and after searching unsuccessfully, they planned to go to Huaiyang to intercept him in advance.

Luo Zheng followed them secretly, but he didn't find a chance to make a move all the way, and finally wiped them all out last night, but he suffered a knife wound on his abdomen during the fight, and I don't know how long he can hold on here...

Right now, he still has some confidence in getting rid of these people from Xuanfeng Sect.

At sunset, those people got up and left, and Luo Zheng quietly mixed in with the crowd entering the city, and followed them away.

At this time, He Lianqing was already on his way to Huaiyang, and only stopped in a small town at night.

He seems to be calm, but actually he is more like resigning himself to fate. After finishing this matter, no matter how the world is like, whoever wants to kill him, let them go...

No care, no worries, no sustenance, it is actually much harder to bear than when you are full of hatred.

He was not a person who showed his emotions completely on his face. In the past, it was not easy for people around him to detect his thoughts, but this time He Lianqing's face was so ugly that even Tang Yi doubted his medical skills.

Doctor Tang said solemnly: "The owner's internal injuries are no longer a serious problem, but the internal strength is like a second life for martial arts practitioners. Yunyoujian, a martial art that exhausts the internal strength, It is better for the owner not to use it lightly in the future."

Tang Yi had said this countless times in the past few days, and He Lianqing nodded perfunctorily again, not even bothering to hum.

Tang Yi knew that he was in a bad mood, but he couldn't heal his heart when he was sick. What happened in Lingzhou, he more or less asked Lu Huiyao a thing or two, but he couldn't find the crux of the matter.

In the past, the person who understood the owner's thoughts the most was Steward Luo, but now that Steward Luo is gone, the owner doesn't even have anyone to talk to.

When emotions are lost, they will naturally become stagnant in the heart, and after a long time, they will become sick and reflect on the body. Doctor Tang is still very clear about this.

The benevolence of a doctor has never been suitable for Tang Yi, but when he faced He Lianqing, he really did his duty and never made any mistakes.

Since others can't see through the owner's mind, they can only use the owner's own power to resolve it.

Tang Yi took out a brown elixir and offered it with both hands, and said solemnly: "The owner's liver qi is stagnant, stagnant qi and blood coagulate, which is really not conducive to healing. The owner can take this qi-nourishing pill first, and it will take effect after a while. "

He Lianqing took the medicine with his eyes closed, and Tang Yi didn't know whether the person in front of him trusted him too much or didn't care about his life at all.It's just that since the man took the medicine, Tang Yi didn't think about it any more, and just kept staring at him without looking away.

A moment later, with blood surging, He Lianqing opened his eyes suddenly, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, his eyes were red and he swept towards Tang Yi, before he could speak, he vomited a mouthful of black blood.

"Villa Master!?" Tang Yi didn't change his face, but Zhang Chi was so frightened that his soul flew out of his mind. He asked, "What did you eat for the Villa Master?"

Tang Yi glanced at Zhang Chi, then turned back to He Lianqing and said, "Yangqi Pill is also known as Quyu Pill, the owner has accumulated too much stasis, and his subordinates can't save it."

He Lianqing had stagnant pain in his chest and was short of breath. He suppressed the pain and said angrily: "What use is this seat for you!"

As soon as the words fell, he spit out another mouthful of black blood.

"Subordinates can't save the owner, and others can't do anything." Tang Yi said incessantly, "The subordinates have been with the owner for more than ten years. I dare not say that I understand the owner, but I also know that although the owner is old It’s not big, but the mind is very deep. Right now, the subordinates only know the symptoms of the disease, but they don’t know the cause of the disease, and they probably won’t be able to find out if they ask, so they can only force it with medicine.”

He Lianqing clenched the front of his chest tightly, his breath was so short that his eyes turned black, Tang Yi was chattering on the sidelines again, like a devil's voice piercing his ears, he said angrily: "Shut up! Get out!"

"The subordinates get out now, and the owner is really hopeless." Tang Yi pushed back fearlessly.

He Lianqing had never been disobeyed like this before, and he was so angry that his veins twitched violently.

"Pfft—" A mouthful of blood welled up in his throat, and Helian Qing's breath became a little smoother.

Seeing this, Tang Yicai stepped forward in two steps, knelt beside Helianqing, and stuffed another pill in his hand into Helianqing's mouth.Then he kowtowed and confessed, saying:

"The subordinate is guilty, but it is really a last resort for the owner's life."

Helian Qing gasped, and lowered his eyes slightly to look at the kneeling person, for a long while, he felt powerless to blame.

Tang Yi raised his head to look at He Lianqing, and continued: "The heart disease still needs to be treated with heart medicine, and I'm afraid that the subordinates still won't be able to save the owner."

Helian tilted his eyes away, snorted meaninglessly, sighed again, and said: "If you can't be cured, let it be."

This is not the effect Tang Yi wanted. He got up and put away the medical box, and said with a frown, "After more than ten years of painstaking efforts, every step of the way, everything is as the owner wishes. How come I don't even have the will to live?" Don’t blame the owner, those who practice medicine can’t see this, so they resigned first.”

"Are you crazy?" Zhang Chi looked aside for a long time in fear, and now he also felt his head was stiff, and unconsciously stepped forward to stop Tang Yi who was about to go out.

After all, He Lianqing is not someone who can be criticized arbitrarily, he was about to explode with a dark face, Tang Yi ran out quickly, leaving only Zhang Chi standing there, his hair standing on end.

He recovered from his injuries, and his expression was much normal before, but now his expression was as pale as that of the rainy night.

Helian glared angrily at the door that had been pushed open in a panic and was not closed. The anger of the past few days was completely washed away by this anger. He clenched his fist and slammed it on the table with a "bang".

"Plop—" Zhang Chi clasped his fists and knelt on the ground, saying repeatedly, "Vendor Master calm down!"

Helian then turned his attention to him.

Lu Huiyao went out to run errands, Han Zhishou was outside the hospital, Zhang Chi was put in the house because of his injuries, but now he can't wait to blend his whole body with the ground.

He Lianqing took a deep breath, collected himself, stared at the kneeling person and did not make a sound.

He thought to himself, as expected, the dark guards raised since childhood are the most obedient.

Thinking of this, the figure of another person suddenly appeared in his mind, reminding him——

Not at all.

"Go down." Helian opened his mouth.

Zhang Chi stood up as if he had been pardoned, and retreated out, closing the door lightly.

The room fell silent, He Lianqing stared at the flickering candlelight and chuckled lightly.

"Fulfill your wish? Did your wish come true?"

When did you ever get your wish?

He blamed the sky, his fate, and himself, but he didn't blame Luo Zheng.

Only Luo Zheng was not to blame, but it was Luo Zheng who he hurt.

The author has something to say: After reading the comments, everyone thinks it's abused, but I actually think it's okay.

As for the farewell, those who wish Luo Zheng to die please raise your hands, and those who wish Helian Zha die please lie down.
