Crown Sword

Chao Chen was in deep thought, and when he opened the door and went back to the room, he didn't notice Gong Yangyue, who was drinking alone under the moon, until someone called him back: "Where did you go?"

"Stick up food, take a walk." Chao Chen casually responded and got into the door.

Gong Yangyue took another drink without rushing, and Chao Chen, who was leaning against the door panel for a moment, simply opened the door and walked to sit down in front of him, without saying a word, just watching his hands with his eyes, as if thinking about it. , whether he has suspicions.

It is really not easy to hide from Gong Yangyue's eyes.

So, after a moment of pondering, Chao Chen preemptively said: "I heard the second son call Mrs. Yu Yusheng, and it can be seen from the conversation that she was a maid in this village in her early years."

Gongyangyue said "um", not caring about the master and servant of the Yu family, but silently grabbed Chao Chen's hand and played with his nails. When the skin was ashes, he shivered suddenly, with the venomous eyes of the ram moon, maybe he had seen it when he was beaten into the hospital.

Chao Chen felt apprehensive, and blurted out, "I, I'll twist your nails."

There is a large bayberry tree planted behind Yuzhen Villa, so there are many bamboo baskets with scissors in the guest garden, so that tourists can have a good time.Chao Chen lowered his head to search under the stone table and found one, so he took Gong Yangyue's hand and trimmed it bit by bit.

Neither of them spoke, their breathing was steady and consistent, and they kneaded together.

After cutting the nails, Gong Yangyue suddenly smiled lowly: "You are so patient, but I can't hold back my temper, and I will definitely find a quick solution."

Chao Chen raised his head and asked, "How to do it quickly?"

Gong Yangyue caught his hand, drew his sword and swung it, only to see a flash of cold light, and his fingernails were all cut off.Chao Chen lowered his head to look, the skill was really not flattering, so he fetched the millstone by himself and grinded it quietly.

Somehow, Gongyang Yue was a little displeased: "You can refuse."

Without even thinking about it, Chao Chen laughed and said, "Didn't you always say that you want me to let you go?" He spread his five fingers and waved them in front of Gong Yangyue, "It's very good, it really has the effect of doubling the speed."

Gong Yangyue's heart was numb, she clenched her breath, and wanted to grab that hand: "Chao Chen, you said that your father died in a shipwreck, then, do you have any other relatives in Jiangzuo?"

"No."

"Where's my old friend?"

Chao Chen opened his eyes wide, looked at the swordsman in red in disbelief, and shook his head very slowly.Just when he was about to call out the "no", Gong Yangyue suddenly interrupted his words, and started another story: "Fortunately, Yuzhen Villa doesn't use swords, otherwise the sword couldn't run away from it when it picked 48 villages. If so , now you and I are afraid that we will be kicked out."

Chao Chen lowered his head and murmured, "Are you still afraid of being kicked out?"

"I'm not afraid, but I love you very much." Gong Yangyue paused, and then said, "Shuangli, that dead girl will marry sooner or later, follow me, I'm afraid she won't eat her last meal."

This is definitely not something the mighty Ram Moon would say!

Chao Chen was dumbfounded and didn't know how to respond. Gong Yangyue saw his thoughts, leaned over suddenly, lifted the white curtain on his crown, and brought his face closer to him: "In Xishu, in front of Xia Houzhen's tomb , in Yunzhong City, in the Princess Mansion, you told me to learn to let go of yourself, how about you, Chao Chen?"

There was no usual arrogance and contempt on his face, only frowns were left, full of pity.That appearance made Chao Chen's heart suffocate, like being pricked by a needle, painful and sad.

Gong Yangyue just stared into his eyes blankly like this: "Your face is already healed, why are you still wearing a curtain?"

At first, Gong Yangyue, who was mixed in the bloody rivers and lakes, took it for granted that Chao Chen was also trying to avoid disaster, but now he gradually realized that maybe it was because of avoiding others.

"Yu Canchai used to be just a little maidservant, but now she is Madam Yu, who is equally prestigious. The difference in status has made the Yu family lose face and slap her in the face, so she respects her before and after her, and hates her when she refuses to accept it. It's human nature, Chao Chen, do you understand?" Gong Yangyue said seriously, "Mrs. Yu's surname is not Yu, and it doesn't matter what relationship she has with the Yu family. What matters is that I am to you. , what kind of existence is it?"

As far as the point is concerned, he didn't say anything more explicit, as if he would say the question if he bit his words——

Is it an invisible existence?

From Jiankang to Guangling, Gongyangyue can faintly feel that Chao Chen's gestures are closely related to this place, and his abnormal behavior from time to time is even more incomprehensible.

No one has the past, even if he wants to get rid of the past crazily like himself, he has to face the past. As for Chao Chen, after living in the world for twenty years, it is impossible for him to disappear without a trace. How to deal with people who are acquainted and meet each other?There is no deep hatred, he can't think of any reason to disappear, the only possibility is himself.

I don't know when it started, but the month of the ram was also worried about gains and losses.

"No, it's not like that, it's not because of you, but..." Chao Chen held his face in his hands, his heart felt as if he was being thrown back and forth, but his rationality restrained him from speaking any further——

Mrs. Yu, whom he admired quite a lot, would fabricate lies to protect Yu's family. Perhaps she would be able to peel off the filth under the glamorous beauty by jumping out of the cage and looking at it.His intuition told him that there must be a spy in Jiangzuo. This person is by no means a good person, and he is very likely to be mixed up among the well-known decent sects, and these places are the past places of 48 people who carry swords on their backs. Where Gongyangyue can't intervene, for this reason, he must be prepared to return to the past at any time, and must fully grasp the timing, so that he can hit it with one hit and not startle the snake.

If he really went back to the past, then there would be no possibility between him and Gongyang Yue.

Chao Chen is waiting, waiting for God to show mercy and grant a turnaround.

Seeing his pale face, panicked as if facing an enemy, Gong Yangyue reached out to support the back of his head and pressed Chao Chen in his arms: "I understand, I've said it all, it's human nature. Chao Chen , you were born in Qingliu. Wouldn’t it be too selfish if I coerced you to let go of the past easily like Chai Xiao? When you were in southern Yunnan, you told me that you learned chess at fourteen, burned the ointment and continued the sundial, day and night. I have never participated in the contribution, whether it is fame or fortune, you have earned it bit by bit, I am not qualified to give advice, and I am not qualified to ask you to give up because of me..."

These words were deeply affectionate, and Chao Chen felt like falling into the clouds for a moment, unable to get up or down.

Gong Yangyue tilted her head slightly, covered his earlobe with one bite, and mumbled a serious turning point: "So..."

Chao Chen blushed. When he heard that, he always felt that it was incompatible with Cai Cai's long speech, so he broke away and said, "So, after talking for a long time, what do you want to say?"

Gong Yang's moon eyes were cunning, and he thought about it seriously before answering: "You see I am so open-minded, you must give me some compensation, so you can rest assured."

"How to compensate?"

Before Chao Chen could finish his sentence, Gong Yangyue leaned forward and pecked lightly on his lips.

What this guy said has never taught people to tell which sentence is true and which sentence is false, and it changes frequently, so maybe he doesn't want people to understand his heart.

Thinking like this, Chao Chen couldn't help pushing his hand, wanting to push the person out of the screen, and said angrily: "Not serious!"

But when the man was really about to fall, Chao Chen suddenly regretted it, stretched out his hand and grabbed his skirt, pulled it hard, stretched his arms around him, and kissed those red lips proactively.

Gong Yangyue stuck his tongue into his white teeth, lingered, and immediately unconsciously supported his waist, waved his sleeves and shattered the jade lamp in the corridor.Broken jade splashed everywhere, the lights were dim, and the fireflies trapped in it were free again, illuminating the night clearly.

Panting, the foreheads of the two touched, Chao Chen pressed his lips and asked, "Truth or lie."

"In a word," Gongyangyue said with a smile, "except your heart and needs belong to me, everything else belongs to you. You are a living person and you can make your own decisions."

Chao Chen heaved a sigh of relief, and couldn't help laughing: "Then you still looked...a miserable look just now?"

Gongyangyue snorted: "It's not miserable, you will soften your heart?" As he said, he tugged at his sleeve, his expression changed instantly, "Why don't you pity me, let me be the one who entered the curtain Bin?"

"How can you eat the last meal without the next meal, pull a grass-roots team to sing a big show, and there will definitely be a full seat." Chao Chen laughed and scolded, completely pushing him out of his screen, then Shi Shiran turned and left, just walked to the door He never forgot to turn his head vigilantly, for fear that he would really follow.

Gong Yangyue sat among the streaming fireflies and toasted, until Chao Chen closed the door, then he stopped, holding the wine bottle and sitting alone until dawn.

----

The next day, the rooster woke up in the morning, and the second son Yuxian was hanged on the beam of the mourning hall. The maid who came to sweep the incense ash in the morning to exchange incense candles was frightened and fainted. After several times, it suddenly occurred to me that there was no one in charge.

The uproar caused Shi Miaoyi to break through the door first, Xuanchan followed closely behind, and although the rest were surprised, they behaved properly.When such a big event happened, it didn't take half an hour to spread the word. Those who should come and those who shouldn't come crowded in front of the mourning hall, staring at the falling cowhide rope from afar.

Chao Chen looked around, but didn't see Yu Cancha, with his martial arts and reflexes, he shouldn't be late.

The corpse was untied and placed on the open space next to the coffin of the boss. Cui Tanfeng carried the medicine box and acted as a coffin again. Thinking about the whole story of the murder.

Shi Miaoyi twisted her handkerchief tightly, her eyebrows were full of puzzlement, more than half of Yu's family was killed or injured, but the relationship between Cangcang and it is still a mystery.

Xuan Chan was at the side to comfort and persuade, the old shopkeeper of Zhuquelou stood in front of the two of them, staring at the left and right vigilantly, while Shuang Li grabbed Wang Hong's waist, curious but did not dare to lift his eyes.

Chao Chen was the only one who stared at the gate instead of looking at the corpse.

In fact, Yu Zancha had arrived at the scene early, but he saw that there were many people coming and going, and there was a lot of noise, so he didn't follow the hustle and bustle. He just took a look outside the door to confirm that the deceased was Yuxian, and he didn't disturb others, so he turned and left.

Chao Chen wasn't the only one paying attention to her, Gong Yangyue heard the wind and chased after her through the window.

After chasing after the lotus pond and water pavilion, Gong Yangyue called her to stop, and cut straight to the point: "Madam Yu, the murderer is none other than you."

Yu Cancha turned around abruptly, and glanced back and forth twice at him from head to toe, neither rushing to become angry with embarrassment, nor indifferent to evade, but smiled slightly: "Why did you say that?"

Gong Yangyue paced back and forth: "You have seen Second Young Master, it's on the back mountain."

Yu Cancha's eyes froze, and he suspected that he was following him, but he didn't dare to show his timidity, so he replied in a polite manner: "I'm afraid this can't be used as evidence."

Gong Yangyue turned sideways, leaning on the rockery, and casually deduced: "Actually, you have long disliked him, not only him, but also the entire Yuzhen Villa. You are no longer a lowly slave of yesterday, but he always taunts you with old things , threaten you, you are not angry, so kill him."

"...Maybe it's not just him, but also the eldest son Yuguan."

Yu Cancha didn't say yes or no, just covered his mouth with his sleeve and laughed.

"The place where the mourning hall is located is the farthest from the guest garden in the south. Although it is far away, it is not far away. It is next to the servant's yard, the back kitchen and the jade warehouse on the left and right. There are many people coming and going every day. The area around the corpse is very clean and clean. There is not even a little flower mud or a broken leaf, what does this mean? The murderer is very familiar with the villa, he is familiar with every step he takes, and he will never leave any clues..."

Yu Canchao interrupted him: "If you kill him, the slave family will not be able to invite the Jade Buddha."

Gongyang Yue's eyes were like lightning: "An excuse is just an excuse to get rid of the crime. If you don't invite the Jade Buddha, the king of Kuaiji will never blame you. He will only punish the Yu family, or he will only punish the Yu family for being unfavorable. There will be no severe punishment."

Yu Cancha asked back: "Why do the servants have to do something, wait until they are investigated and dealt with?"

Gong Yangyue shook his head, and said again: "Let's not say that Yuzhen Mountain Villa itself is attached to the king of Kuaiji, and will not easily oppose him, even if you haven't counted, Princess Poyang is also here, if you don't tell me If the decree comes out of nowhere, it will be revealed, but if you deliver the decree, the whole Yu family will be afraid of death, even if they are reluctant, they will cooperate with you, and you will lose the opportunity, so you have to do it yourself."

"Interesting." After hearing this, Yu Canchai spit out the words lightly, with his chin raised, showing a reflective expression.

Gong Yangyue continued to deliberate: "You enter the mansion one day first, and by virtue of your control over the villa, you will unknowingly scare Yuguan to death with shock, and then choose the right time to enter the villa to take charge of the overall situation. After everything is arranged , and try to find a way to lure Yuxian, kill the killer, and at the same time put the blame on the Yunku ghost, and at the same time wash away the suspicion for himself."

"I didn't expect that Gong Yangyue, who was shouting for everyone in the martial arts, would also call for grievances for others?" Yu Canchai thought in his heart that it was comparable to the Arabian Nights. After laughing, he suddenly stopped his smile and said solemnly Question: "How do you know that Yuxian threatened the slave family, oh, so you are the one who followed the slave family?"

Judging by her tone, it is possible that she had discovered that someone was following her, and she just kept silent.

Hearing this, Gong Yangyue couldn't help but rejoice that Chao Chen had lost both his martial arts and his courage, presumably he didn't dare to follow too closely, so he hid himself tightly and didn't hit the head of the gun. Even if it has two points of deterrence, it is guaranteed that Yu Cancha once suspected him, but did not act rashly.

If it's just verbal bullying, it won't make the whole family restless. It involves at least two kinds of grievances and hatreds. Gong Yangyue thinks he is not compassionate, and even respects revenge and revenge. The only concern is only the people around him, so for a long time After a long silence, he replied, "What happens to the Yu family has nothing to do with me. Whoever lives and who dies is not for me to judge justice. I only have one request, whether you want to revenge or vent your anger, don't implicate other people."

Yu Cancha showed contempt: "Heh, regardless of good or evil, you are really a devil."

Gong Yangyue didn't bother her, but tilted his head slightly, took another look at the blooming Chuisi crabapple, brushed the pond with his hands behind his back, and turned back to the mourning hall.

The voices of people gradually rose, as if someone was chasing after the red-clothed swordsman, but Yu Zancha did not rush to dodge, but stood in the distance, and only after the shadow completely disappeared, he sighed softly: "My family has been thinking, Apart from Gongyangyue, who else in the villa can follow the slave family without being discovered, now I can figure it out."

Chao Chen walked out from under the shadow of the flowers, with sweat on his forehead and a frosty face: "Is it really you?"

Across the screen, Yu Canchabi's dialogue voice completed the appearance of the visitor in her mind, with a rare look of joy on her face: "You are still alive, this is enough." She paused, as if Thinking over the wording, and seemed to be struggling with the title, he asked softly word by word after a long while: "Do you want it to be me? Xiaochen, do you want it to be me?"
