Crown Sword

"Why did they come?" Chao Chenchuer asked, even if he saw "Zi Gui crying blood", he shouldn't have come so fast.

"When I went to check the Jiangu contact point in the city, I sent another letter," Gong Yangyue replied, "to send it directly to Pei Sai, or the girl Pei who received the letter for him. In order to prevent the letter bird from being shot again."

The letter written in the name of Fang Jing, no matter who saw it in Sword Valley, it would be handed over to Gu Xue or Liang Kunyu in the end, so even if there is no Chao Chen tonight, Liang Kunyu will take action at the last minute, but he didn't Thinking, it was Chao Chen who stopped him.

Gong Yangyue turned her head and smiled slightly at Chao Chen: "I'm very happy, the person who held me back then was you."

It’s okay if I don’t talk about it, Chao Chen felt annoyed when he talked about it. At that time, he was in danger of being beaten to death by Gong Yangyue. Thinking, embarrassing and ashamed, he immediately sarcastically said: "Why are you happy, isn't there still old Liang?"

"It's no match for you." Gongyangyue whispered.

Before Chao Chen could say "what", Gong Yangyue turned around and suddenly stretched out his arms to hug him, resting his chin on the hollow of his shoulder, breathing calmly.

Immediately afterwards, he slammed forward, and as soon as Chao Chen fell, he heard scolding from behind, and the stone thrown by Liang Kunyu rolled the bone to the side of the shoe: "Little bastard, I haven't come back for so long!" Jiangu, why are you so narrow-minded?" The two separated, and the man walking the bird waved to Gongyangyue, and handed over the cage he was carrying: "Come on, this is for you."

"I?"

Being disturbed by him, Gongyangyue felt very unhappy, she seemed to be playing a bit of a temper at the moment, she didn't go to pick it up, she just glanced over, but Chao Chen noticed that his eyes stayed on the wooden birdcage for a long time.

Inside is a baby bird, the whole body is snow-white, except for a pinch of bristling fur on the bird's beak, which is one finger's width away, the color is like red beans.

Liang Kunyu started to grab the person and brutally pulled him over: "Look, does it look like it?"

"Where does it look like?" Gong Yangyue didn't resist, but was a little impatient, and poked twice in front of the cage with his finger, "here, this pinch of hair is not."

Liang Kunyu was furious: "The old man dyed it on purpose, what's the matter?"

"Why did you dye it?"

"People are different, and birds are different. Listen up, you little bastard. The past is always the past, and people live in the future." Liang Kunyu shoved the birdcage into his hand, and waved her hand to help with the aftermath. "Sword If Gu doesn’t want to go back, I don’t have to go back. When I die of old age, I will be carried to Mianzhu to wait for you to die. I hope that at that time, you can bring the truth you want.”

After Liang Kunyu left, those elders came to apologize under Miss Pei's matchmaking.

The one who opened the mouth was the elder who was pointed at by Gong Yangyue with a sword just now. Although this person is a little ignorant, he still has the bearing he should have. He cupped his hands and said: "I misunderstood before, so I came here to apologize, and the ghost sword arrested him." For one thing, I would like to thank the two of you.”

When people were talking, the corner of the eye was clearly on Miss Pei, and Old Antique was able to bow his head. Chao Chen thought that she had contributed a lot, so he smiled and nodded in greeting.Miss Pei saw it, and returned the greeting to him, neither humble nor overbearing, neither cold nor hot, she didn't seem to care, as if she was born without emotion.

"You are Gongyangyue, right? I remember you. Six years ago, you were also in Mianzhu." Another old man stepped out and stared at Gongyangyue. Afraid that a disagreement would cause a conflict, but Gong Yangyue pushed him away without moving a single step, raised his head and looked directly at the man, without nodding or shaking his head.

The old man hesitated to speak several times, and finally sighed: "Miss Pei has already told you all about you. If you want to come and wait with me, you have nothing to say. So be it. If you come to Mianzhu again after coming here, I hope you won't die." And this kind of scene..." He stretched out his hand, wanting to pat the young man's arm, but was thrown away by Gong Yangyue.

In fact, Gongyangyue was a little happy in his heart, but he couldn't hold back his face, and he couldn't accept it without any grudges. In the end, he did what he always did, deliberately singing the opposite tune to offend others, and even put his hand on Chao Chen's shoulder in front of several people. Take it, push the head and don't go back to another place.

Several elders looked ugly, wanted to reprimand but held back, and only muttered: "It's not decent!"

Chao Chen wanted to persuade, but felt it was inappropriate; wanted to comfort, but felt it was inappropriate, and opened his mouth a few times in the midst of half pushing and half pushing, but remained silent.Gong Yangyue seemed to see his entanglement, and said lightly: "I don't hate, but I don't want to, just forgive like this." He kept looking forward, "Chao Chen, this is not the end."

This is not the end, so keep going.

Chao Chen understands that for the current Gongyangyue, the biggest threat is not the malice of the world, but the remaining good thoughts in the world.He raised his head, tacitly, and returned a "I understand" look.

"Hey, you can choose a name." Gongyang Yue pushed the birdcage over.

Chao Chennahan: "Why me, it's obviously you..."

Gong Yangyue is impatient: "You read a lot."

"Okay," Chao Chen replied, looking down at the living being, who was raising his head and opening his beak, waiting to be fed. He suddenly felt full of strength. Finally, after thinking about it seriously, he said with a smile: "Rebirth after catastrophe , I hope the road ahead is not an eternal night, and the dawn will break when I return. Let’s call it Zhaoming, Zhaoming, Zhaoming, like light and bright.”

After the smoke burns, it leaves a faint shadow in the night sky like splashed ink. After dawn, there will be no mark, just like a person who has died and buried in the earth, there is nothing left to say.Those three "Zigui crying blood" were not for the people of Jiangu to see, but to signal Jiang Munu, telling him that Wei Zhanmei had not broken his promise.

"You don't need to go anymore." Jiang Munu signaled Hei Kui to stop, pushed aside the shadows of the trees, and looked beyond the sky, the wind and rain had dissipated, and the moon was shining for thousands of miles.

Ye Zidao put the weapon on his back: "Master, I'll go."

Jiang Munu stopped him, raised his hand to grab the pigeon sent out before the fake ghost sword appeared, took off the note, read it carefully, and then smashed it into pieces: "It is very likely that the booklet is really not on Gongyangyue, go to Xindaiguo, Contact the person in the south, and check carefully, whether there is anything missing during the journey of thousands of miles." He knew very well that even if Xuanzhi was hunted down and panicked, with his kung fu, even Wei Zhanmei couldn't catch him. Not falling behind, "As for Gongyangyue, keep it... Huh, I hope he will follow in my footsteps, and I hope he will live a life that I have never lived, so keep it and see."

Look like you haven't lived?

Ye Zidao took a peek and was curious, but he didn't dare to ask nonsense, he just said reluctantly: "Then our efforts this time are not in vain?"

"How could it be in vain? Wouldn't it be great to know that Gong Yang Chi was coerced back then, not a traitor? I wish they would find out the inside story of Gong Yang Qi Yuan's departure to the Dai country. If he was really wronged and left the country , at least it shows that if you don’t have intentions, you are actually helpless. In that case, it is hard to know whether you are really persecuted or just go with the flow.”

A happy smile appeared on Jiang Munu's scarred face. He shook off the note that Wei Zhanmei brought back. It was the words he copied from the intercepted letter, pointing directly at Gongyang Qiwei's death.

——Li Zhouyang said that if a person is not dead, if he is not sure, he really is not dead.

Then, he continued: "Xuanzhi's old miscellaneous hair has been in the south all the time. He has it on hand. Most of them only record the "Yin Juan" about the spies and betrayers dormant in the south. Zidao, you say, "Yang Juan" Could it be in Gongyang Qi that he can just use this to confuse the public and hide? Compared with his father who died in the city, Gongyang Qi is a ruthless character."

"But Gongyangyue doesn't look like he knew or got "Kaiyang Jilue"..." Ye Zidao hesitated slightly.

Jiang Munu glanced at him: "He didn't take it, but Gongyang Qi has a lot of contacts in Daiguo. Among these people, will there be someone who knows? He ordered Ding Baichuan to investigate and told him that not only people from Jin, but even Xianbei No one can be left behind!"

The order was given to the shadow who had been following, Ye Zidao didn't answer, but looked at the scar on Jiang Munu's face thoughtfully.This person is usually gentle and loving like a father, but when pointing the country, he has a kind of ruthlessness, the kind of ruthlessness that is not ostentatious, not eye-catching, not the fearlessness of a young man rushing forward, but very crazy, once he is caught by him If you hold on, you will never be able to break free.

But Ye Zidao was willing. From that smile, he could feel the boiling blood.

----

Tired all night, after returning to Wei's courtyard, several of them fell asleep, only Gong Yangyue sat on the roof facing the direction of Jiangu after washing, until dawn.

After the cock crowed, no one got up.

Gong Yangyue bought wine and went out of the city, and walked to Xiahouzhen's tomb. The scene that should have been a mess was tidied up tightly.Messy grass and fallen leaves were piled up on the left side of the tomb, freshly picked flowers were placed on the top of the tomb, incense candles were lit in front of the monument, Fang Jing was holding a rag, and carefully wiped off the muddy water splashed on the surface of the monument by the strong wind and rain last night .

The wound on the back of her heart was split open, and the blood soaked through the red clothes, but she didn't seem to notice, and continued with the work in hand.Gong Yangyue walked over lightly, and pressed a few big acupoints for her to stop the bleeding.

Fang Jing apparently sneaked out the door, was frightened, turned her head hastily, and was relieved when she saw who was coming, "It's you."

Gong Yangyue and her had never had anything to say, they backed away silently, took off the two jars of wine hanging around their waists, drank from one jar for themselves, and poured the ground on the other to respect the soul.After Fang Jing packed up, he had finished drinking and was about to leave.

"Ram Moon!"

Fang Jing called him to stop, pointed to the new grave next to him, and said, "In his situation, it's fine if he doesn't get whipped, and he doesn't even think about being buried safely. According to Zhou Bihai, Mr. Pei ran around all night, and he didn't even think about it. After a lot of pleading, I dug a hole here, but I may not be able to erect a monument in this life."

This him, of course, was Wei Zhanmei. Although he didn't do anything himself, the accomplices couldn't get away.

"When I came out, Mr. Pei and Master Liang had already gone up the mountain, saying that they were collecting the body for Taoist Xuan Zhi. After all, they had to give an explanation to the 'Bei Luo Xuan Mansion'. This is all they can do. Jian Gu doesn't condone and cover up. Although people die, they should be dealt with as they should, and the Mianzhu County Governor will implement it."

After talking about this, Fang Jing took a deep breath, and after thinking about it for a while, she told him what happened after that night's farewell on Lutou Mountain: "...After you left that day, Ji Ci and I were on the cliff between the mountains. A suspicious fracture was found."

"Break?"

Gongyangyue finally stopped, if the booklet was really carried by Xuanzhi, then it was neither on her, nor was it picked up by Wei Zhanmei, then it must have been obtained by someone else halfway.

Fang Jing nodded and said, "At first I thought it was the murderer, but now that the truth has come to light, I don't think it should be. Wei Zhanmei wants to pretend to be Pei Sai, so he can come and go in a fair manner."

Xuanzhi himself was vigilant, and if he didn't take the usual path to sneak attack, it would be easier for him to find out, and the calmer he was, the less likely he would show his feet.

Gongyangyue asked: "What kind of fracture?"

"The incision on the wooden surface is smooth. It's not like a rope, but a very thin thread. At that time, I deduced that someone flew up from the bottom of the cliff, so I learned something. So Ji Ci and I jumped down to investigate. Unfortunately, I didn't find anything, but when I was walking all over the mountain, I found a bag of betel nuts that Mr. Pei loves to eat."

If it is a thread, the first thing that comes to mind must be a beam that is as tough as a knife, but if that is the case, the tree will be cut off before the person flies up the cliff with a little force.

Then there is only one possibility, this object is not sharp, and the person who comes here has high martial arts, so when he moves to the top, he will unload his strength and break the wood.

"I understand." Gongyangyue wrote it down, walked into the rapeseed field in the distance, and waved "Thank you".

Fang Jing didn't want to accept it, she cupped her hands to her mouth, and finally she was able to yell out the words that had been hidden in her heart for many years: "Gongyangyue, I really hate you! I still hate you! Unless...unless one day, Xiahou Senior brother can come back to life." At the end of the shout, his eyes were already clear.
