Chiwuxing

Chapter [-] - Interpretation of Jinduo's True Words on the Jieshan Road

The sun shines lazily between the forest post stations, and the path is dimly golden.

A carriage swayed along the mountain road, leading an old brown horse in front, the driver was poorly clothed, and his head was wrapped in a black civilian bandage, looking rather shabby.

The mountain road is close to the mountains and fields, the natural scenery is excellent, but it is also deserted. In the silence, only the rustling of bamboo leaves can be heard, but there is a wave of restlessness that is close to the heat.

The road leads to a gradually deepening forest, where the dense branches and leaves block the blazing sun, and suddenly rise a little shade.

The sound of kicking and tapping passed slowly, and the old horse's eyes were slightly opened, as if he was sleepy in the afternoon.Although the horseman also fell lazily in front of the car, his eyes became alert for a moment, his ears moved slightly, and he noticed a wave in the dry air along the road.

"Call-"

The driver straightened up and stopped the carriage, his sleepy expression became clearer, and he whispered back: "My lord, stay away."

The carriage curtains were blown slightly by the wind.

In an instant, the horseman raised his knife and broke through the air. The branches and leaves that were dangling by the roadside were frightened by the sudden howl of sword energy at this moment. The sword qi screamed, but the people came faster and more urgently, and the black shadow swept away, and the fight that didn't need to be confessed started instantly.

"Boom-"

The swords of the two men intersected without giving way.

During this confrontation, the horseman saw a pair of cold eyes on the masked face of the visitor, with a faint green light, full of lifelessness.

He was startled, the person who came was obviously not an ordinary assassin, he immediately turned around and stared at the movement on the other side of the carriage.

The fiercer the confrontation between the two, the more frightened the horseman was. The masked man on the opposite side had no way to attack, and he won the victory entirely with unskilled speed and ingenuity. Judging by the shape and moves, it is obvious that it is not an old martial artist The master came here alone at this time, could it be a master of the rivers and lakes recruited by some official in Beijing?

"May I ask who is your honor? Where did you come from?"

The masked man in black on the opposite side didn't open his mouth at all, he just fought silently, with a fierce sword.

The screeching sound was heard again, and the horse driver had already fallen into the wind. Looking out of the corner of his eye, it turned out that the masked man had forced him to the front of the carriage in the middle of a trick!

Panicked, and before he could make a move, he saw the curtain of the carriage lifted by a pair of slightly plump hands.

"grown ups!"

The man in the carriage poked his head out, his fat cheeks were serious at this time, he did not look at the driver, but only stared coldly at the masked man in black standing in the road at this time: "May I ask who sent you here? If it’s based on the bounty, it’s better to talk about the price, why bother to use swords and guns as soon as you come up, and lose your temper.”

The masked man flashed disdain from the corner of his eyes, and said: "You really are a villain who is greedy for money and afraid of death."

The masked man's voice was hoarse and unpleasant, as if a piece of sand and stone had been rolled on the tofu, the two phases were broken, and there were intermittent murmurs in each word. The person on the other side is light and nimble, and only young people can practice the smooth flow of water. Why does this voice sound like that of an old man?

Presumably the person who came must be a master of martial arts, with the ability of foley.

Jin Duo didn't appear to be annoyed, but instead smiled and said: "Buying a life with money is a very profitable business. I don't think you are greedy for money, so you are following orders? If you want to take my life, don't you Report your life before you die, and let me see which family it is from."

The masked man was silent.

Jin Duo sighed and said, "Before going home, I sent several people to disguise themselves as the official's convoy to detour in batches, and I passed by alone in this simple carriage, and I didn't expect to be stopped ...It seems that God still fails to fulfill one's wishes."

The masked man didn't answer his words, but he didn't act immediately.

Jin Duo's eyes flashed, as if thinking of something, then he sneered and said, "Oh, you were sent by that old eunuch Jiang Hua, right? I haven't settled with him for Xiao Shan's death earlier, it seems that he really wants to Hurry up and kill them all, well, since he wants to take it, then I will let him take it for me, and I will meet him on the road to Huangquan in the future, and I will not spare him lightly..."

The masked man sneered at this moment and said, "A eunuch? Aren't you yourself? You are generally a nest of snakes and rats, so what kind of enemy do you have?"

"Oh?" Jin Duo didn't pay attention to his scolding words, and suddenly said, "So it wasn't sent by him...then it was a civil servant in the court... from the Ministry of Households?"

The masked man didn't want to listen to his idle speculation here, so he peeled off the black veil of the mask, revealing a pale cheek with cold eyes, and a deep knife scar on the left cheek that was rather fierce. With a strange breath of silence.

"It's you?" Jin Duo was surprised, "Where did you send me? Are you coming to kill me today?"

"Exactly."

Jin Duo understood it, and snorted coldly: "Oh, Admiral Wang deliberately cultivated you during his lifetime, so you are just a spy in the army... No wonder Chi Jia is now in disarray. "

He thought to himself, and said: "I still remember that you came from the Prime Minister's mansion...are you...Ni Xiang's people?"

"……Yes."

A piece of loose flesh protruding from the end of Jin Duo's eyes was loose. At this moment, he shook his head lightly, shaking off some unspeakable sadness, and said, "It seems that I still overestimated Ni Congwen's intentions. His body You are in a position of power, but you are still greedy and insatiable... At the beginning, I saw that your family was suffering and suffering, and you felt pity for it. It seems that people's hearts are like ghosts, and everyone is an unbelievable white-eyed wolf... Forget it, if you want to do it, you will give it to me. Just be happy..."

Hearing the words, the horseman on the side immediately stepped forward to block him with a horizontal sword, as if if he took a step forward, he would be killed by the sword on the spot.

Fu Chen saw that Jin Duo closed his eyes, and his sword-holding hand was slightly relaxed. Ever since he mentioned that name, his heart had been filled with silent surprise and disappointment. Night after night, the nightmares came and went, and the faces of people in his dreams came and went again and again. Yinbai... is it a life-threatening ghost, or is it an answer he desperately needs to escape?

Jin Duo closed his eyes for a while, saw that there was no movement around him, and opened his eyes hesitantly, only to see that the young man's face in front of him was getting paler, mixed with blue and white, he didn't know why, and said, "What's wrong with you?"

The young man's dark pupils gradually reflected his face, he only heard the young man open his mouth slightly, the dry skin around his lips seemed to block his words, so he trembled slightly: "Jia Yingzhi... who is it?"

Jin Duo frowned and said, "Who are you talking about?"

"Answer my question." The young man took a step forward, and the horseman at the side took a step closer at the same time.

Jin Duo hesitated and said: "...'Yingzhi' is the admiral's real name, everyone in the palace used to call him that, and later His Majesty bestowed the word 'Yun' on his name, so the original name was changed. Now, no one mentions his real name anymore... What do you mean by that?"

Fu Chen froze in place, his heart still full of tangled entanglements.

Jin Duo saw that he was not eager to kill, so he simply stepped out of the carriage and sat on the steps where the horse driver was just now. He was dressed in simple commoner clothes, he had taken off the bright ocher clothes he usually wore, and looked quite haggard.

He looked at the inexplicable young man in front of him, and said with a sneer: "I still have doubts about the admiral. Although the admiral has entered the year of his destiny, he passed away suddenly without leaving any bones. At first, I couldn't think about the army with an evil heart. The soldiers are sincere, and the red-armored soldiers have fought against foreign aggression for many years, and they have the same heart, if there is a real difference, it will not be revealed at this time."

Shen Ning was on Jin Duo's face, and he said: "It seems that I should change my thinking now... The admiral is dead, what else do you want to test? When he was around, you were in every possible way. If you go, do you still have to be interrogated by your side?"

"Since you want to do something, let's hurry up there. Compared with Jiang Hua's methods I know, you can finish it with one sword, and it's still clean."

As the wind weakened, Fu Chen took a step forward with a gloomy face.

Immediately, a sword blade came to his waist, and the horseman stared at him for a long time, this moment was the opportunity to stop him: "If your Excellency wants to make a move, you'd better go through the next level first."

Fu Chen's face was quietly covered by curly hair. He sorted out his thoughts, and then slowly asked: "...Since Jiang Hua is not from the same way as you, how can you explain that there are people in the army and in the court?" The power of the eunuchs? Could it be that you colluded with each other to corrupt the government, and now that you have gained advantage, you have become your own family fighting among themselves to share the spoils and steal the money. You and Jia Yun... have always acted in such a righteous and dignified manner..."

The young man spoke with sarcasm, but his face was still cold and dull.

Jin Duo actually laughed, and this time it was a smile with a smile: "Fu Chen, let me ask you, what is the reason why you came to kill me today? This is the first time I have met an assassin who talked so much... or You are usually reticent, and you like to talk to people who are dying?"

He folded his hands, stroked the thick skin on the back of his left hand with his right hand, and said, "If you pretend to be righteous and want to kill me because you just listened to some people casually, then you can just do it." Yes, anyway, I am an old bone, dead and clean, maybe I can go down to chat with the admiral... But if you still have a little conscience, and it is not a whim to come here, but you have hated the eunuch for making trouble Thinking about it. I say without arguing, if you kill me, you will regret it sooner or later."

Fu Chen raised his eyes to look at him, at this moment, there was some vitality in his eyes.Jin Duo was so close, it was hard to describe the weary and haggard face of this young man. Compared with the cowardly recruit he had seen before, although he was a little more courageous, he also faintly withered for no reason, as if he shouldn't The melancholy that should have faded at this age.

"What do you mean by that?"

Jin Duo looked at him with raised eyebrows: "Throw away the sword."

A sneering sneer was rarely seen on Fu Chen's face, and his slender eyebrows raised provocatively at this moment to look at the opposite person, even though his face was forced to be pale, it still carried a tyrannical meaning that cannot be underestimated: "You think I can't kill you with my bare hands?"

He hated the eunuch's treacherous and greasy look the most, looking at his slightly sweaty cheek at this moment, the violent emotion in his heart was about to explode.

The horseman guarding the sword at the side also had a gloomy face when he heard the words: "Your Excellency is not very old, and your tone is really not young."

Jin Duo was still looking at Fu Chen with a smile, now he was a little calm sitting in the car, and said: "You put down your sword, so we can talk properly."

Then he said sarcastically: "Are you really going to show that you have lost your parents and have no education?"

These words clearly implied anger in the sarcasm, and the driver's eyelids twitched in front of him. Since Admiral Jia passed away, he had rarely seen his master get really angry because of something, even if he resigned because of illness, he never saw him lose his temper in great grief, On the contrary, most of them are calm and occasional reminiscences. At this time, these words directly point to the pain in his life experience, which seems to be deliberately provoking.

Fu Chen's black eyes became more and more cold, and he said, "I don't need your turn to teach me whether I'm educated or not."

Immediately, the long sword was thrown aside, without nostalgia and cherishment.

Jin Duo glanced at his movements, and said with a smile: "Then let me ask you first, why do you feel resentment towards eunuchs at such a young age? You are also doing things for His Majesty, and we are inferior?... If the eunuchs are really It was more than 20 years ago when the catastrophe happened, so you probably don’t have any personal experience.”

A trace of undetectable vicissitudes appeared on Jin Duo's oily face, which was the sense of traveling through the past.

"Now I'm asking you," Fu Chen stared into his eyes, and said coldly, "Do you always talk in such a winding way?"

"Okay," Jin Duo sighed, "Since that's the case, then I'll say...you will regret it because you can't see through your heart, you can't discern the truth, and you blindly become someone else's pawn, and no one wants to do it." Chess piece, you should not want to."

"There is a distinction between good and evil, but there are no lowly servants and slaves? Of course you can shout loudly to get rid of eunuchs and evils, and shake up the whole country... Such an empty slogan of justice, I can give you what I have heard for so many years. You have been talking about it for a day and a night, there are quite a lot of scholars and talents in the court, and there is no shortage of exquisite and literary lines, even if the examiners of the imperial examinations read it, they will praise it repeatedly, do you want to hear it? Heh." Jin Duo chuckled With a sound, the face as smooth as a woman's cleansing face trembled and slack.

Fu Chen frowned and looked at him.

Jin Duo gradually lost his expression, and said: "What you see now is mostly the work of Jiang Hua and his henchmen. He has been on the throne all these years, and he has won endless wealth, fame and fortune. Even if his power is exhausted now, there are still people who are willing to step forward to do things for him To make a profit, as long as he stands between the inner palace and the court for a day, the eunuchs will not subside. If I... I followed the admiral in the early years to reform military affairs, you are a person who came back from the battlefield, and now internal and external troubles are more serious I know a lot."

"The admiral, like you, also had an unfortunate family background. Fortunately, he was exiled to work in the palace, so he was favored by His Majesty. Therefore, he acted frankly, but he often had no scruples and blindly followed his heart. When he proposed to reform the system, he chose from the selection system, From the military division system to the military financial resources, and related political institutions, all have been greatly rectified. The memorial is beautifully written, and His Majesty is also young and energetic, and has the heart to make contributions, so he immediately reviewed it, and the two jointly raised the matter of political reform. The result ...Naturally, it is self-evident that the forces in the DPRK and China are deeply intertwined, and the regulations have been formed for hundreds of years, so how can they be changed just as they say?"

"Besides, His Majesty had just succeeded to the throne at that time, and his power was not stable. Even the admiral's admirals later persuaded His Majesty to shirk responsibility for the reform and put the admiral alone. "

Jin Duo turned his eyes to the young man in front of him, and said: "You have also been on the battlefield, let me ask you, compared with the red armored army, even with the strength of the barbarian army, is it inferior now?"

Fu Chen didn't speak.

Jin Duo didn't care about his answer, and went on to say: "Officials in the court enjoy sitting in the imperial capital, and the ups and downs of border troubles are out of reach for them. How can they know the hidden worries in the past few decades? It's a pity that Nanman has long since become independent and declared war on Yan. All the officials in the middle don't even know it, they are only greedy for flies and dogs."

There was hatred in his tone.

"The admiral knows that his status is limited, so he planned to bear the infamy from the beginning, and after several revisions, he finally compromised the final restructuring strategy. Now you are in the red armor guards, and you can still get a monthly salary. , This is the credit of the admiral back then. The admiral was able to separate and reorganize the red armor guards from the Yiwei in each city after several remonstrances and compromises. Rather, it is the treasury of those useless officials."

"Oh," Jin Duo looked at the young man in front of him again, and smiled, "You just blamed me for being greedy for money and afraid of death, maybe there are still fears of death, but I dare not admit that I am greedy for money. Those civil servants, what I have done can be regarded as indifferent to fame and fortune..."

He looked away, and said to himself: "I was supported by the admiral at the beginning, and I just entered the Privy Council. The admiral could have sat on the errand of the privy envoy, but he just followed King Yu into the army because of his own will. After more than 20 years, he has truly become an unprecedented general among eunuchs."

"The admiral once said, 'It is feasible to save thousands of Yan people by letting me bear the curse of one day'. At that time, I really regarded myself as a slave serving my master. How have I ever seen such a courageous person?  … ...But it is also lamentable that everything is settled now, after all, it will end in a dismal end. The admiral may have anticipated the future situation back then. When he joined the army, he had already embraced the destination of dying on the battlefield, so after so many years, he has never been shaken. Greedy life and pleasure—"

Speaking of this, the grief and indignation became stronger, and Jin Duo couldn't help looking at the young man in front of him with hatred: "Let me ask you, you have been in the army for so long, have you never recognized who he is? Of course it is difficult to detect the good and evil of a human heart, But after getting along for a long time, I really don't believe that you don't know Jia Yingzhi's character!"

Fu Chen's heart was piercingly cold, he slowly closed his eyes, feeling goosebumps when the heat wave of near summer rushed over his body.

……

Because he deserves it.

Red and black blood, blue and white corpses.

"Then I... ask... one more question," the young man trembled for some reason, "Jia Yun..."

"When... did you become a eunuch?"

"Why are you asking-"

Before Jin Duo could say anything else, he saw the young man striding forward, and the horseman's sword hadn't been retracted yet, the impact suddenly cut the black belt around Fu Chen's waist, He took out some white and reddish underclothes, Fu Chen didn't pay attention in time, and for a moment, he grabbed Jin Duo's arms with both hands, with great strength, and Jin Duo trembled ghastly with those pitch-black eyeballs staring.

"……tell me."

The voice was hoarse like a ghost.

He realized that the young man might have other secret knowledge, so he told the truth, saying: "I only know that he was already a servant by His Majesty's side when I entered the palace more than 30 years ago, what do you know when you ask this question?" ?”

30+ years ago... 30+ years ago...

Jin Duo was also surprised by the treacherous and frightened expression of the young man in front of him. He stared at Fu Chen and said, "What do you really know?"

"...I met a dandy by chance, who lied about Jia Yun's orphan, and deceived Zhou's family, so that's all." The young man's eyes were full of sarcasm, "He is really just a liar."

It is difficult to distinguish emotions from the gravel tone of youth.

Looking at the young man's expression, Jin Duo didn't seem to be lying, so he replied: "Impossible, since I knew the admiral, he has never been close to a woman, not to mention... How can there be any heirs alive? People who cheat like this are afraid that they will die again." It was a rumor deliberately fabricated by some people in the court. They wanted the admiral to be clean all his life, but there was such a framing after his death!... Heh, it seems that they really couldn't catch the reason, so they said such absurd words Ruin the reputation of the admiral!"

Jin Duo was chattering here and there, and Fu Chen's eyes gradually turned to see things, and he came to his senses.

Fu Chen looked at his fluttering lips and felt a split moment. He cast his eyes hard, turned around and said, "You go."

"Huh?" Jin Duo's original resentment turned into a strange one, and he never thought that he could persuade the young man so quickly. He couldn't help but glance at the tall and thin young man's back, and said, "Are you from Xiang Ni? ?”

"It has nothing to do with you."

Jin Duo squinted at him and said, "If you are, I will give you a last piece of advice. Ni Congwen can put his personal desires above the safety of the society, and he can throw away your little life at will. If you are so easy If you believe in other people's one-sided words... then what you do with your martial arts is not to punish evil and promote good, but to help evildoers."

Fu Chen's original steps retreated, the air whistled sharply, and a long sword suddenly pointed directly at Jin Duo's neck.

Jin Duo showed no fear on his face, he raised his eyes slightly and smiled at him, his oily and round cheeks looked like a Maitreya Buddha.

Fu Chen vaguely remembered that among the eunuchs he had seen, Jia Yun, Jin Duo, Jiang Hua, and all the eunuchs in the army all had smiles in their eyes and grinning lips all the time. It penetrates to the bone, or this is a brand-new human skin that each of them carefully selected and hung on their faces, and thus obtained the money and pass talisman to become a heavy eunuch.

"You told me not to trust other people's words," Fu Chen's eyes were filled with mist, "Then how credible is what you said today?"

Jin Duo smiled, unexpectedly kindly: "You don't have to believe what I say, but what is right and what is wrong... Oh, young man, you have to estimate a standard in your own heart."

He gently put aside the blade of the sword with his hand, and said: "The sharp weapon is in hand, not only for killing people, but also for testing one's heart with death."

Fu Chen let Jin Duo move the blade away, he put away the sword indifferently, turned around: "Thank you for your advice."

Jin Duo took a deep look at him, then turned back and got into the carriage, and ordered: "Amu, drive! Let's go."

The horseman wiped the blood on the sword, put away the sword and jumped onto the carriage.

"Drive! Drive!"

The brown horse started slowly, the accident was inexplicable, and the driver couldn't help looking back at the figure of the young man standing alone in the forest road, shook his head, and showed some unknown smile: "This child knows his heart when he sees it." For Weiming, ordering him is worse than motivating him."

"Young people, what you like is to make decisions for yourself, and what is evil is to make decisions for yourself..." Jin Duo's still laughing voice came from inside the car, "I think he just asked more questions and prodded than silenced... the one sitting in my seat , I have seen a lot of assassinations and assassinations, and now I run into it again before I leave, and I can be regarded as having a beginning and an end..."

"It's true that he has not lost his mind. When he joined the army, I saw that he had deep worries in his heart. It's just that such a person is easy to be used by others... there is no guarantee that he will not make mistakes."

The horseman turned around and smiled again: "Since resigning from office a few days ago, my lord is in a much better mood than before, and there are more sincere smiles."

"Oh," sighed the carriage instead, "If I can worry about my future and the overall situation like the admiral, I will naturally have a lot of burdens. How many Jia Yingzhis are there in the world? Now I am also tired, and I am too lazy to stay in this filthy place. I'm wandering around... I think the admiral insisted on enlisting in the army because he hated these civil servants."

"It's a shame that the gang of officials still framed the crime of embezzlement and self-indulgence, and now the money is gone... If the land and salary left by the admiral before his death were all transferred to the Privy Council for embezzlement, I'm afraid they really have to sleep on the street now." ...Your Excellency, you don't want to ask any more about who took the lead to find out those accounting mistakes?" The horseman sighed.

"It doesn't matter whether they are arrested or not. Now they have formed a group of forces. Whether it is black or white, it is not up to them to decide. It is a blessing in misfortune to be able to save one's life... ..."

"My lord, don't worry," the horseman said with a smile, "When we get to the farm, we can live a peaceful and peaceful life away from these disputes."

"Well," replied the car, "when you get to the village later, don't forget to remind me to visit the neighbor's house. I don't know if the old house is still there when I go to Xiaoshan. I'd better go and have a look..."

"Okay! Drive!"

The sound of horseshoes kicking and kicking sounded again, and the simple gray shed carriage passed the forest road and wandered towards the open Daoxiang wild road in the distance.

The gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion is high and strict, standing on the outskirts of the imperial city of the Imperial Capital. The hustle and bustle of people coming and going still does not hinder the majesty of the ancient buildings for many years. Two stone lions opened their mouths and stretched out their fangs, threatening passers-by.

A staggering figure flashed to the door, and the guards of the Xiangfu hurriedly stopped him. Seeing that the person was covered in blood, he shouted: "The important place of the Xiangfu, no idlers can enter!"

"It's me..." The person came with curly hair hanging down his face, unable to see his face clearly, only heard a hoarse voice.

The guard stepped forward to grab someone: "It's Captain Fu!"

Fu Chen was dying and said: "I want to see the Prime Minister, go and report it!"

The guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion had already been ordered by Fu Chen to have the right to come in and out at will without notice, so he hurriedly did as he said. One of the guards stepped forward to help Fu Chen, watching the large bloodstains from his chest to his waist , said: "Does the captain need to call the Fuzhong disease doctor to stop the bleeding first?"

"No need..." Fu Chen panted lightly, "I have an urgent matter with Mr. Xiang, where is Mr. Xiang now?"

The guard who had just gone to report to the butler hurried back and said, "Captain, Master Xiang said to look for him in the study."

"Okay," Fu Chen frowned tightly, and at this moment his back was slightly arched, with a look of enduring pain, "There's no need to follow...I'll go by myself..."

After finishing speaking, he walked slowly to the study alone, leaving a few guards unidentified, so he thought to himself what happened.

"Benefactor..."

Ni Congwen was writing in the study. Hearing this, he raised his head and looked outside the door. He saw bloodstains on the front of the young man's clothes. He was startled. He hurriedly stood up and asked, "What's going on? Sit down first."

"Do you want to call the disease doctor to come over and bandage it first?" Ni Congwen said softly.

Fu Chen's squinted eyes flickered with the light from the candlelight on the table, he gasped and said, "No need... Benefactor, I have bandaged myself before I came, it's nothing serious at this time..."

"What's the rush to come here?" Ni Congwen sat aside and looked at him.

Fu Chen lowered his head and said, "Today...Zi Jie went to intercept Jin Duo's car... But Jin Duo had a few masters disguised as servants and grooms, Zi Jie lost for a while, and they gained the upper hand..."

Ni Congwen sighed after hearing the words: "I know you hate eunuchs, but now that Jin Duo has resigned from office and the crown prince has stripped the rest of his property, there is no need to pursue it any further..."

Fu Chen said: "Zijie went in front of the mask. During the fight, he was accidentally picked away and let him see my face..."

Ni Congwen raised his eyebrows: "So what? It doesn't matter if he recognizes you. He can't turn over now, and he can't hurt you."

Fu Chen looked up at him, hesitantly said: "When Zijie was fighting with him, Jin Duo thought I was the one sent by the benefactor to assassinate him when he saw my face at first glance, and he also said that Xiangye, you have a clever plan and a clever layout , It made him feel ashamed... I was specially asked to pass on the message... The monster is incompetent, and he has no way to kill him in one fell swoop to vent his hatred."

Ni Congwen's expression changed, and he snorted coldly: "Oh, it's no wonder you, he is such a life-greedy person, how could he easily put himself in danger, as long as this kind of thing happens again in the future, he doesn't have to come here specially, he is also at the end of the road. It’s a shame to say that.”

Fu Chen looked up at his face, and said again: "Also, when he saw that it was me, he still suspected that Jia Yun's death was related to me and the benefactor... Zijie was not angry for a while, so he asked back when Mr. Xie Zhi received Jia Yun's favor. Whether he knew about the assassination, he said he didn't know, and that it was someone who assassinated Jia Yun and falsely accused him of innocence..."

Ni Congwen's eyes darkened, and he said: "It's common for eunuchs to conceal their true feelings from each other. They will definitely not tell you the truth back then...but why did you mention this all of a sudden?"

Fu Chen raised his face, his face was pale, his brows showed tiredness, and he said: "Zijie recalled the misfortune of his family today, so he sighed this way, thanks to the benefactor who helped me three years ago, now he saved me from wandering and suffering... ... Zijie will never forget this kindness."

Ni Congwen saw that his face was gradually fading as pale as crisp paper, and said: "You should let the Fuzhong disease doctor take a look, I see that your face is very ugly."

So without waiting for Fu Chen's answer, he went to the door and ordered his servants to call the doctor.

Fu Chen squinted at him, and when he approached, he said again: "The benefactor... Jia Yun is dead now, but Zi Jie has no desire for revenge... When he was in the army, he also treated Zi Jie so much... Zhao Fu, I'm afraid I never expected that I would be such a person..."

Ni Congwen said: "You don't have to show mercy to him, he is a kind person with a guilty conscience. Now that you are in the army, you just won honor for the teacher and showed my majesty."

Fu Chen said wearily: "Zijie only hates that he has never seen a portrait of his own father before he was alive, and he doesn't know what he looks like. It's really a pity and hate..."

Ni Congwen said: "Teacher is an upright and loyal person, and he really doesn't like these vain things."

Fu Chen put his right hand on his knee and tapped lightly.

Seeing that Ni Congwen didn't say a word, he slowly lowered his sword from his waist, drew it and said, "Now what I've done is almost over... The benefactor doesn't need to trouble the doctor to come, Fu Chen can finish it on his own!"

After saying that, he got up and held the sword across his neck, as if he was committing suicide.

Ni Congwen stretched out his hand to stop him, but before he could touch Fu Chen's arm, he saw the sword fall to the ground with a "jingle", and Fu Chen fell to the ground suddenly, with his head just by Ni Congwen's feet.

Ni Congwen squatted down to observe, and saw that his complexion was visibly pale. He guessed in his heart that it was caused by insufficient blood supply when he stood up suddenly, so he got up again and called to the door: "Come here! Send Captain Fu to the guest room to rest. "

Fu Chen heard Ni Congwen's footsteps drifting away in the mist, which seemed to be far away from here.

He wanted to get up and support himself, but he found that this violent fall really made him unable to get up for a while. In the chaos, he felt someone supporting him and leading him out of the house.

The lights of thousands of houses in the imperial capital were dimmed, and Xia Chan fell into a dream when the moon reached mid-heaven.

There were strange laughs and howls in the darkness, and they collapsed amidst the noise like ruins.
