Crown Sword

The corpse was soaked in the lake for several days, swollen and swollen, not to mention the face was unrecognizable, it was almost not even a person, and the jade pendant was still tightly held in one hand.It was only when the old lady went to identify the body that Yong Xian realized that it was his own sister.

Jiankang's water rice raised the girl, and when Jia Zhu's father and sister left home, he was still young, so his memory was blurred.

Yongxian, who was indulging in grief, was determined to take revenge, but he didn't know who the murderer was. Just in time, Miaoye rushed to hear the bad news. Angry Yongxian thought that even though the second boss had nothing to do with the murder, but Cangcang had been missing for so long, Suzaku Tower was There was no big movement, and I was afraid that he was also a cold person, so he took the old woman to hide in the wilderness.

While hiding, he accidentally crashed into a cave in the mountain in Jiangdu. There were people living in this cloud cave. There were two swords at the end, and the words "Wan Gu Chan Juan" were engraved on the wall, which was the place where the swords were buried.

It is said that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. Thinking that he was chasing and killing the Yu family and bearing a blood feud but could do nothing, Yongxian calmed down and practiced the Chanjuan Sword. , pull swill.Afraid of being recognized by others, they destroyed their faces, and also feared that passers-by would mistakenly enter the place and find the Yunku, so they pretended to be ghosts to scare people.

As for those evil things, it's ridiculous to say that they were all done by that hypocrite in Yuguan, but all the shit was put on the head of Yunku ghost.

Mei Nongwen let out a mocking laugh, and said in a mournful voice, "He waited for ten years, and finally he found the truth. On that day, Yu Lian, to show off to his classmates, secretly took out the map of the countries that His Majesty gave to him. There was a bloodstained figure on the map Others only thought it was the seal of a certain connoisseur, but he was the only one who saw that it was a blood-stained rubbing of the jade pendant. The owner of the Jade Villa must have never thought of it when he committed violence, and the sky net was restored, and it was not lost."

Chao Chen asked softly, "So, he killed Yu Lian and peeled off his skin?"

"Isn't that guy supposed to die?" Mei Nongwen showed a rare indifference on his face, "He was so angry that he lost to my subordinate because of the clear talk, he was so angry that he killed him. If Yongxian didn't kill him, I would be the one who died. I don't think he did." Wrong. He took me to Yunku and told me the past and the truth, and I drew the human skin picture for him."

"As for the sweat towel..." Mei Nongwen's eyes darkened, and he smiled cheerfully, "Let's just repay him. Anyway, I plan to go north, and if I don't come back in this life, I will help him once and get rid of his crimes. "

"I am not afraid of being stigmatized, but I am afraid that I will be unknown in this life."

Ben was sighing helplessly, but when the words came out of the scholar's mouth, accompanied by the clank eyes, Mei Nongwen smiled wearily, and only waved his hand and said: "I have nothing to say, I want to kill or cut ,As you wish."

Seeing his feet swaying vainly, Chen Shao stretched out his hand to help, but was pushed away arrogantly. When Mei Nongwen came back to his senses, he seemed a little regretful, and he lowered his head and dared not look directly.

Chen Shao asked, "Why did you leave?"

Mei Nongwen shook his head and remained silent.

Chen Shao asked: "If it's because of those gangs..." He unconsciously glanced at Wang Hong, and the latter reluctantly avoided, and he was majestic behind his back, but he still felt ashamed when he was criticized in person.

"No!" Mei Nongwen lost his patience, even the sliver of forbearance just now was exhausted, he stared at his former teacher with a sneer, and asked himself in an extremely resentful tone: "Do you really want to know? Okay, let me tell you! I hate this place, I hate the imperial court!"

Chen Shao was shocked, and hurriedly blocked his mouth, fearing that he would slip up.

It's a pity that Mei Nongwen no longer cared about his death. Relying on his young body and flexibility, he gave in and shouted hoarsely: "This is not the court I want to see, not the court I hope for! Doctor, please take a good look." How many students are there in Taixue now? I'm afraid there will be no more students left in a few years. We work hard and study hard day and night, hoping that one day we can change our destiny and get out of the sea of ​​suffering, but what about now? Come on, there is no hope at all..."

Chen Shao interrupted him: "I can recommend it for you!"

Mei Nongwen didn't want to listen to such words anymore, he didn't blame Chen Shao, he didn't blame anyone in the academy, he only blamed the unfair fate, so he smiled miserably: "You think all I want is a recommendation, that's enough, Doctor, Your good student will always be in my heart..." The words choked up, "It is better to die than to live without hope."

He didn't say anything more rebellious. Why did he go to the north? Naturally, he heard that several wise kings came out of the Hu people in the past few years. In the name of Cheng Zhengshuo, he wanted to recruit talents. s home.

People are all gamblers, even one in a million is better than no chance at all.

Mei Nongwen staggered out, determined to leave, but no one stopped him after saying a few words.

The darkness under the brilliance was completely torn apart, Chen Shao stood still, unable to return to his senses, another green and immature voice echoed in his head.In the plum rain in Jiankang, there was also a young student from a poor family like Mei Nongwen, who threw an umbrella and shouted at him——

"I hate this place! I'll never make it here!"

Then, the man rushed into the rainstorm, his back faded away, and gradually overlapped with Mei Nongwen.

Is that person calling Chen Wenhu or Dr. Chen?Anyway, it won't be the current one--

"Folding Layman."

Chen Shao raised his head, and faced the young scribes wearing white curtains and green clothes in front of him, trying to squeeze out a tolerant smile: "It has been many years since no one called me that."

Not to mention that Mei Nongwen felt desperate for the Jiangzuo court, even Chen Shao felt ashamed and suffocated. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that since the death of Grand Tutor Xie, the Beifu soldiers had gone up and down several times. The battle of winning more with less that shocked the world more than ten years ago seems to be just a reflection of the decline of this great dynasty.

Will there be such a savior?

Even if there was, maybe it was time for the sky to change, Chen Shao thought helplessly and viciously, if it wasn't for some dark feeling, why would he resign from Guozixue, turn around and enter "I don't see Chang'an", and then there is no hope again Looking for a glimmer of hope, he turned around and returned to the Taixue Academy, trying to give some hope to the fiery children in Shuisheng.

But he is not hope itself after all.

In a trance, Chao Chen cupped his hands and asked him to take a step to speak, entrusting the Jinyang Library, and told about what he had seen and heard in the Absurd House and what he knew about Xiao Jiuyuan and Wen Bai's graves.

Chen Shao was not as violent as Xuanzhi, nor as Du Mengjin, who was more thoughtful and talkative than expected, and actually believed them.On the contrary, Chao Chen was a little at a loss, until he turned his eyes to look at Yu Canchai, who was arranging the aftermath of the mansion, and realized that it was because he had spoken out for Madam Yu earlier.

Seeing the two of them dawdling, they couldn't even let out a fart for a long time, and Gong Yangyue, who was more concerned about the actual gains, couldn't help but said: "The boy is not talented, please tell the layman Zhehua, Xiao Jiuyuan and Wen Bai are clearly who?"

He tried to slow down his tone and not seem so aggressive.

When Chen Shao talks about etiquette, he always speaks to people. He turns around and bows to Gongyangyue. He speaks outright without contempt. Under the suspicion, vigilance and secret competition of so-called knight-errants gathered around the periphery, Chen Shao is really serious. Treat everyone equally: "On top of Wu Sangong in 'Seeing Chang'an', there is another leader, Brother Xiao. As for Wen Bai, it's a long story," he paused, and when he spoke again, his sly eyes couldn't hide Living in the light, "Don't you want to know why I helped Mei Nongwen? There was once a young man with a similar life experience who also uttered wild words and did such presumptuous acts that violated Confucianism. I didn't help him at the time, so he went too far and made a big mistake."

Gong Yangyue suddenly said: "This person is Wen Bai?"

More than 20 years ago, Chen Shao was still young. Because of his name as a child prodigy and the background of the Chen family in Yingchuan, he was promoted to a Doctor of Confucianism before he was crowned age, and taught at Guozixue.

The reputation spreads from ten to ten, and on the first day of entering the palace, many people crowded the streets and alleys, curious to see this little teacher.

Among them was a young man named Wen Bai.

At first, Chen Shao thought that he was just like other people, just joining in the fun, but later he saw that he came every day, no matter the wind or rain, no matter the cold or heat, as the days went by, and there were fewer onlookers going, he was not very happy. Only later did he realize, This person is different, he didn't come to see people, but just sneaked into Guozixue to attend lectures.

Several times Wen Bai was almost caught, but it was Chen Shao who helped him cover and escape punishment.

Chao Chen frowned: "Really, just for studying?" I don't know if he had preconceived the identity of the "White Crane Immortal", but subconsciously he always felt that this person had other plans.

Chen Shao recalled: "He said: I just heard and heard that the students of Guozixue Middle School can enter the official career without going through a test. I think they are all geniuses. They just want to see and see how powerful they are, or It is the five classics doctors here who are more remarkable than Taixue, and can cultivate future ministers of the humerus of the imperial court!"

This tone is clearly sour and angry.

But Chen Shao's words were obviously not mixed with emotion, but just narrated in a straightforward manner, as if he was recounting it as a bystander, without any position.Chao Chen had a vague feeling that Chen Shao subconsciously agreed with Wen Bai's outrageousness, but because of the world, he dared not stand up and express his opinion openly.

The person in front of me slowly continued the previous words: "I told him: Dr. Lu, the professor of Mingjing in Taixue, is very talented. I also visited him several times in the past to discuss learning with him and study hard with him. It will definitely become a great tool. Probably I didn't expect that I didn't scold him bloody, but he was easy to talk, and Wen Bai reluctantly agreed with me. But the good times don't last long, and the impetuousness around him can easily destroy a person's concentration... ..."

Wen Bai tried hard to accept the reality at the beginning, but there was nowhere to vent the backlog of emotions, and he felt dissatisfied again after a while. At that time, he had become acquainted with Chen Shaosi of the same age, so he often came to him to vomit bitterness.

At this point, Chen Shao smiled wryly: "At that time, I was still young, and I had studied behind closed doors for many years. I didn't have a thorough understanding of world affairs. I only felt that my personal power was humble, let alone breaking the ancestral system. I really didn't know the heights of heaven and earth? Even once If you think he is too cynical and spends his mind on useless achievements, you should calm down and study hard to learn, and don't imitate others for fame."

Gong Yangyue hit the nail on the head: "You and him come from different backgrounds after all."

Chen Shao did not feel embarrassed because of this, but admitted frankly: "I disdain fame, but because I was born into a wealthy family; I don't tend to be greedy, and I only focus on learning, but because I don't worry about food and clothing."

Compared with the arrogant gentry, Wen Bai thought that Chen Shao, who was known as a child prodigy, was different from him. As everyone knows, the kind of aloofness revealed without knowing it is more deadly than harsh words.

Wen Baixing was in Jiankang City, like a dying old man, feeling lifeless and hopeless in life.

Compared with the softness and decay of the south of the Yangtze River, at that time, the Qi of the Qin State could swallow the sky, and it had the unstoppable momentum to unify the north. Among them, there were Wang Meng who started from the dustpan, and some who were defeated and surrendered. There are even reckless people from the rivers and lakes who are conceited about their talents and are tempted, determined to find another job.

Chen Shao supported the window frame, facing outwards through the Jiangnan-style Linghua grid, in a trance, a little sluggish, until Asuka stepped on the eaves and made a crisp sound, then he regained his composure, and continued walking slowly Xia said: "He came to me to borrow money."

Unlike Mei Nongwen, Wen Bai at least bid farewell.

"The money was not much, but I really couldn't think of what he needed urgently, so I asked him bluntly. Thanks to his trust and love, he simply told me what was in his heart. They are inhuman, they drink blood like a feather, they kill without batting an eyelid, what can they have good things to say about them, but they are seeking skin from a tiger, so I immediately persuaded him, now that the wind and rain are in turmoil, and the army is in chaos, it will only be more difficult to go north alone to find a way out."

Gongyangyue squeaked again, and said with a smile: "Let me guess, he didn't think you were good for him, but he fell on you because of it, right?"

Chao Chen said, "To speak of hatred is too serious."

Chen Shaochong nodded to Chao Chen: "That's right. Although I don't hate, but I have been at odds since then. I also reflected on it later, probably at that time he felt that I was going to cut off his only way of life." He sighed, and used his hands to poke the gap between the window sills The bean sprout that shouldn't have grown here, "Since then, we two have parted ways, and I will go to the ferry to see him off, but I can't catch up."
