Crown Sword

Gu Zai was sweating profusely. When he reached the outside of Jinyang City, his hands and feet lost strength, and he slipped on a stone. The lantern in his hand went out. He looked up and saw black shadows surrounding him.

At first I thought I was dazzled, but when I looked closely, I realized that they were real people. The two of them were people who came out of the city to search with farm tools and sticks in their hands.

He glanced at the direction when he was coming and going, and ran forward, trying to shout and persuade the villagers to go home and lock the door to avoid disasters temporarily, and to guarantee his own life, even if he died, he would give a satisfactory explanation.

"Don't go!" Didn't rush out two steps, stretched out his hands, covered his mouth, and dragged him to the other side.

"Li Qi?"

Gu felt as if he had been hit on the head with a sap when I got up.

Li Qi put his finger on his lips, then winked at the other end, and lowered his voice: "Curator, after all, you gave us board and lodging, the students couldn't bear it, let's go, leave Jinyang, the grievances are over, Shan There is no meeting time for a long time!" As he spoke, he took out some money from his pocket.

Seeing this, Gu Zaiwo was in a hurry, said "no" twice, pushed the things back, and grabbed his arm with one hand: "No, I can't go." If he leaves, what will the people of Jinyang do?Even if Murong Lin can't be persuaded, but the Duan family is not really at the mercy of others, teach them to take precautions early, and dogs can bite dogs.

"Master, what are you going to do?" Li Qi didn't understand why he rejected his offer.

Gu Zai wanted to explain, but this is not the place to talk. With my face, I recognize too many people. When I ran into trouble, and saw Li Qi looking back, I thought he was a gentle and considerate child, so Jane In a nutshell, I want to ask him to run some errands and save people by myself: "I have to deliver a letter to Duan's people..."

"Duan's?" Li Qi's expression changed suddenly, his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

The Duan family's children often teased the students near Jinyang, they were full of pigs and dogs insulting them, and even their house slaves lived in seclusion, and they were also bullies in the streets, not to mention that because of the Duan family's seclusion, the taxes and corvees paid by them were increased. In the winter month of the previous year, several families died of starvation. The people of Jinyang changed their expressions when they heard about it, and they wished they could eat meat and drink blood.

Gu Zaiwo actually said that he was going to find someone from the Duan family, Li Qi was frightened and angry, he stroked his heart and gasped, thinking of the rumors in the city, he took it for granted that the person he hooked up with was the Duan family, and he was shaking like a sieve. Two: "Master, you and the Duan family..." He couldn't hold back any longer, grabbed forward, and shouted sharply: "He is here, Gu Zai is here! He is indeed cheating his death!" , he is still alive, it is hard for us all to be deceived!"

Hearing the sound, people from all over the world beat gongs and drums, shouted three times and invited four people, and they all rushed up with the guys together.

"Folks, listen to me... no, no, no, Li Qi, you go to Duan's mansion, go..." Unfortunately, the voice became higher and higher until it completely drowned out Gu Zai's voice.

"Kill him! Kill him!"

"Son of a bitch, blood-sucking locust, sanctimonious hypocrite!"

"Last year, the eldest son of Li's second-in-law's family was arrested and sent to serve in the military. His second son was crippled. The land in the house was deserted and he couldn't pay the rent. The poor family all starved to death. Well, the baby who is less than a month old is so hungry that there is only one piece of skin left. Since he is a dog's leg, let him pay for his life!"

Li Qi was squeezed out and huddled by the bushes, watching the punches and sticks fall, the people inside were silent, but his face twisted and he screamed twice.

"Let me come!"

The crowd dispersed, and with a shovel down, Gu blossomed on my forehead, blood flowed down the bridge of my nose, and I fell to the ground motionless.Someone kicked him, carried the guy on his shoulders, greeted everyone and left happily, as if it was not a person who died, but a wolf hog hunted by hunters in the mountains.

"Dead...dead?" Li Qi stared at the people on the ground, stretched his hand forward, and before touching his nose, he retracted suddenly, holding his head and running away staggeringly.

----

Murong Lin has led the troops out of the camp, and wants to end everything before dawn.

Fang Youshi woke up from the tent, touched the couch, and went to the case to pour water.I didn't touch the kettle, but I touched the cool bamboo slips with a line of small characters engraved on it——

"Gu Zai I will try my best to protect the people of Jinyang, and I will die tonight."

Without a long explanation, Fang Youshi understood it almost instantly, but perhaps the past prejudices and determinations were too deep in his heart, he thought over and over again, and he was at a loss.

why?

In the past, he was the one who insisted on going his own way, and even though I tried my best to dissuade him, now he sees the world clearly, withdraws angrily, and seeks revenge in anger, but his old friend plunges in.

A corner of the curtain was rolled up at some point, and a biting cold wind blew against the face, making people shrink back and forth.The patrolling soldiers walked by and whispered, "That Gu man is really a dead-headed person, how could His Highness help him?"

"That's right, who does he think he is!"

Fang Youshi rushed out, grabbed the man's horse, and asked, "What did you say, the man who came to the camp just now, what's his last name?"

The soldier opened his mouth with difficulty, but before he could answer, he fell silently to the ground and passed out.

"Where is Your Highness? Your Highness has already set off?" Fang Youshi let go, and Ma Qian slammed on the grass with a "clang clang", and there was no one around to respond to him. A few cronies were guarded here, but now, the people around the tent have obviously been removed.

"Who?"

Fang Youshi roared, he was blind and deaf, obviously aware of the entry and exit of a master, but the other party delivered the letter without any intention of killing, obviously trying to lure him away.Those who can clearly know that they and Gu Zai me are in the past must come prepared, even if it is a conspiracy, they have to jump.

He walked back, walked around to the stables, grabbed a horse, and followed the unusual sound of the wind.

There were quite a few people in the barracks, two of them died, and there was also a night watchman. When he heard the horse yelling, he went out to take a look, and was frightened to death: "Quick, go and report to Your Highness!"

----

"Let me down! Gongyangyue, Gongyang..." Chao Chen punched Gongyangyue's back twice, and before he could stop shouting, he fell to the ground.Gong Yangyue clapped his hands and glanced at him with disgust.

There are trees on all sides, and there are no houses in the dark, so it can be seen that they are out of the city, but it is difficult to tell where they are outside the city.The swordsman in front of him had a stinking face, asking him would be like asking for trouble, Chao Chen wanted to take the fire pocket in his arms and light it, so he put his hands on the ground and got up on the spot.

When I touched the grass with my hand, it was a little sticky, and when I brought it to my eyes, I saw that it was Yelu, and I could clearly see the blood on my palm.Looking down at his feet again, a pair of boots were stepping on a pool of blood.

"Not dead yet." Gong Yangyue walked along his fire pocket without hesitation, pointing to the winding traces on the ground.

Chao Chen didn't dare to think badly, so he just asked dryly, "Whose blood is this?"

"You treat me as a dog's nose, whose blood can be separated, why don't you put some of your own and see how it differs from his?" Gong Yangyue couldn't help saying something, and took two quick steps forward .Chao Chen walked slowly and couldn't keep up, so he turned his head under the two big-leaf poplars in front of him, waiting for someone to ask him, but Chao Chen didn't, and walked with his head bowed and kicked.Gongyang Yue felt uncomfortable, kicked at the tree trunk, turned his head and disappeared.

When Gongyangyue pulled Gu out of the haystack and stayed with me, I was still breathing.

Maybe it was the red clothes that dazzled the eyes in the middle of the night, but Gu Zaiwo shrank his pupils, looked back at the light, pulled himself together, pointed in a direction, and asked Gong Yangyue to take him away.Looking at the scars all over his body, he can also imagine the tragic scene at that time. Facing the plea of ​​dying, even Gong Yangyue, he couldn't say anything harsh, just stretched out his hand to support his back, and with a light effort, brought A few people rushed out with ups and downs.

Chao Chen had just arrived, leaving him with only two figures from his back.

Even though there is a steady stream of internal energy to protect the heart veins, Gu Zai, I am just an ordinary person after all, the injury was too serious, and I didn't get treatment in time, so my anger became weaker and weaker soon.When he flew to a pear blossom grove, he could barely hold on to Gong Yangyue's shoulders, and almost fell to the ground.

Gong Yangyue had no choice but to help him stop.

"This place is not good." Gong Yangyue shook his head, the pronunciation of pear was the same as that of Li, he couldn't feel the beauty of the wind blowing flowers, his eyes were full of paper money flying across the lonely grave.

Gu Zai shook his head at me: "Do you still believe this? I think it's good. It reminds me of the pear blossom in front of the White Horse Temple."

Gong Yangyue didn't argue with the dying man, but squatted beside him and asked, "While you can still talk, what's your next step? What are you going to do?"

Gu Zaiwo laughed, and replied coldly: "No one can be saved, no one can be saved..."

After the beating, Gu Zaiwo was deeply shocked, and his expression remained gloomy. At this time, the oil was exhausted, his eyes were dim, and he failed to catch Gong Yangyue's cuff after three times of grabbing. Who is the person, just whispering like crazy: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I don't know how desperate you are when you can't wait for people, how painful it is to die with hatred, right..."

What's the use of apologizing again, the person is dead, after so many years, I'm afraid his bones have turned to ashes, there is no one in this world who can accept his apology, and the past misunderstandings will never be forgiven.

"Old stuff? Old stuff!"

Gongyangyuejian pointed twice at his heart veins, but there was no miraculous effect. He could only call out repeatedly, trying to regain his sanity.Gu Zai I tried to open my eyes, grabbed his wrist, and smiled miserably: "Brother Fang, I'm afraid there will be another person's name on it..."

"Take care of me!"

When Gu Zai took my last breath, someone fell off the horse behind me. Gong Yangyue drew his sword and pressed it against the neck of the jumping and crawling man, with a vigilant expression on his face: "If you go any further, I will kill you. Who are you?"

The man pulled down his snow-white hood: "My surname is Fang, it's..."

"You are Fang Youshi?" Gong Yangyue looked at the man who had been resurrected from the dead in disbelief, looked at those empty eyes, and slowly shed two lines of clear tears.When he sat on the roof and eavesdropped, he felt that the people in the story were stupid, stupid and unreasonable, but when he saw the difference between life and death, and the separation of yin and yang, he felt moved.

Fang Youshi groped inch by inch, and when he touched Gu's wound on my body, he finally couldn't help but let out an "ah". He couldn't see it, but he could imagine the scene of those people beating him to death with punches and sticks. As if being haunted, holding his head in pain, the voice of the evil spirit seems to be in his ears——

"He is still from Jin, but he is servile to those Xianbei dogs. Although I can't go back, at least I still think about it day and night. He is afraid that he has even forgotten his ancestors!"

"The last time I asked Fang to find a gentleman to teach children to read, that gentleman actually took five buckets of rice and ten bunches of rice. I'm afraid he wants to take advantage of it!"

"Just die like this, it's nothing to make him cheap!"

"Yes, drag it out and whip the corpse."

Seeing that he had signs of going mad, Gongyangyue hurriedly brushed his Fengchi and Shenting two acupoints to make him clear, then stretched out his palms and pressed on the top flower Baihui, empowering him with internal energy to help him escape from sleepiness.Seeing that he had breathed a sigh of relief, Gong Yangyue immediately grabbed the man's clothes and asked, "Why didn't you die?"

Not to mention that Fang Youshi's resurrection from the dead is weird in itself, it's even more abnormal for him to appear here in the middle of the night and find someone accurately.

"This..." Fang Youshi handed out the bamboo slips in his hand, he couldn't see anyone, he only regarded Gong Yangyue as Gu Zai's companion in Jinyang, and told the whole story.

It's a pity that Gongyangyue was not interested in the grievances between the two of them, and didn't care to listen at all. He only glanced at the bamboo slip, worried that the mantis catching the cicada and the oriole were behind him, stood up with his sword, and kept an eye on the movement around him——

People hiding in the dark matchmaking, there is always a purpose, but let Fang Youshi see Gu Zai me, so what?

Gong Yangyue glanced back, the blind man in white was sitting next to Gu Zai's body, with a look of lovelessness on his face.For him, his mentor died, he went to the Northland discouraged, he tried his best to seek goodness, but he got misunderstandings, he died after drinking poison but he didn't die, he was lingering on the world, and he was about to lament that a friend's advice was wise, but he didn't. If you ever want to blink, you will repeat your own mistakes, and it is he who started the mistakes.

It was he who wanted revenge, he was the one who advised King Han, and asked Murong Lin and the prince to advise.

"It was I who killed him, I was the one who killed me..." Fang Youshi was disheartened and in great pain. After he figured out all these joints, he picked up a stone on the ground, waved his hand, and pointed at the ram. Smash the back of the head——

Gong Yangyue was already vigilant in all directions, so he rushed out the sword, but he soon realized something was wrong, and hastily withdrew the move. However, Fang Youshi let go of the stone in his hand, no longer fearless, and slammed into the sword.

"Little friend, you are a good person, please."

The withdrawn hand froze in the air, and the long sword pierced through Fang Youshi's heart. He drew the sword again, and a gust of hot blood gushed out from the wound, splashing on the red clothes.Chao Chen glanced at it from afar, not caring about getting tired, rushed forward and held Gongyangyue's sword with one hand, and supported Fang Youshi with the other, but he was weak and couldn't hold it steady with one hand at all, so he also fell to the ground.

Fang Youshi fell down beside Gu Zai, smiling and closing his eyes.

In the dead of night, Chao Chen heard Fang Youshi's voice from far away. He was different from Gongyangyue, he valued and cared more about friendship, so he substituted into the story of the two with all his heart and eyes, sighing endlessly, hearing Noticing something wrong with the abnormal noise, he jumped up with his hands and feet to see this scene.

"how so……"

Sitting under the pear tree, Chao Chen was at a loss. He didn't blame Gong Yangyue for killing the man for no reason, but hated him for taking his sword back in time.

But Gong Yangyue misunderstood his words, thinking of Fang Youshi's "good man" just now, and looking at Chao Chen's plainly complaining eyes, he just thought it was really ridiculous.The more this was the case, the more he disdained to explain, but deliberately said along the way: "He wants to die, and I will grant him, okay?"

"Killing someone is so easy in your heart?" Chao Chen held the pear blossoms in his hands, in disbelief.

When Xiao Qi was brought back by the owner, the doctor said that he would not live for six months, everyone worked hard to save his life, and read and write with others, even if he could not do without the medicine jar for the rest of his life, he never gave up .Even Gu Zaiwo, knowing that his friend died, did not kill himself, but inherited his ambition and tried his best to protect more people in Jinyang.Even if I once thought about dying, I can't live well now...

Life is so precious, who has no hurdles to overcome, and death can really solve everything?

Chao Chen put his hands on his forehead, and it was really painful. He didn't know that Fang Youshi had been under Murong Lin's command since he escaped from the dead, and that Jinyang's change was caused by his desire for revenge. He only knew that if it was him, he would definitely save him. Fang Yushi will definitely try his best to stop it.

Gongyangyue held her breath, and when she sensed someone, she reached out and grabbed Chao Chen's clothes. At this moment, the torches were lit one after another, and a white horse raised its hooves, and straddled the Euonymus in front of the slope——

"Your Highness, there are people ahead."

"They're here..."
