Qi Gu re-emerges from Jianghu's Royal Bird Order

Qi Shaoshang looked for Gu Xichao in the direction where he disappeared, and after a while, he heard the horrifying and piercing screams from the depths of the mountain forest, and his heartbeat slowed down by half a beat, thinking that someone had encountered an accident in the middle of the night He rushed towards the source of the sound, and when he passed through the woods, he saw only a quiet, bare wilderness, only the traces of fighting remained on the soil.

Someone must have been robbed, who was robbed?

Qi Shaoshang remembered that scream, and the lingering sound seemed to be still echoing in his ears. He actually felt a feeling of suffocation. He was afraid of the answer.

Gu Xichao was still wounded, what happened to him?Is he alive or dead now?

Qi Shaoshang was too late to regret it, if he hadn't been angry for a while and showed his face to Gu Xichao, he would not have left in anger and encountered an accident.

It's all right now, such a big living person who was rescued through untold hardships was lost in a blink of an eye.

Qi Shaoshang looked up to the sky and shouted: "Gu Xichao!!"

The only answer to him was the countless tiny echoes from all directions in the empty land: Gu Xichao, Gu Xichao, Gu Xichao...

Qi Shaoshang was even more desperate, but when his emotions reached the extreme, he would suddenly calm down.

Gu Xichao definitely did not leave voluntarily with others, otherwise why would there be that shrill cry.

If he was robbed, he would definitely leave clues, no matter how much he hated Qi Shaoshang, no matter how downcast he was.Not to the point where he would rather fall into the hands of others.

Taking advantage of the faint skylight, Qi Shaoshang quickly spotted the tiny poisonous arrows on the ground. He picked up one and recognized it as a sad little arrow at a glance.

Back then, Kui Nuocheng was slaughtered by Gu Xichao. Could it be that the fairy who escaped by chance came to seek revenge on him?But why only rob but not kill?

Qi Shaoshang searched along the arrow marks on the ground, and smelled a faint smell of blood. Following the smell, he soon found two small patches of blood. There is a very shallow and very scribbled word, it can be speculated that Gu Xichao drew it with his toe hidden under the robe in a hurry.

The word is "he".

"He" has many meanings.

"Now 'when', go to 'where'."

Or "'why' so."

Or maybe "'why' not doing it?"

It is also a surname, which may represent a great power, a clan; or it may refer to a person, a person with the surname He.

Qi Shaoshang thinks of people, he thinks of the "Xia San Luan" He family, in the martial arts, this sect is like a dog stealing, stealing and cheating, cheating, cheating, doing everything, and is good at everything. They are in the hall of elegance, but most of them are decent people. Qi Shaoshang has never heard of any enmity between them and Gu Xichao. If there are really people who are inferior to the He family, how can they go with the down-and-out fairy who ruined Nuocheng? together?

The faint night light traced a vague outline on Qi Shaoshang's tall body, and he nodded slightly, meditating.

Gu Xichao's literary and martial arts strategy, in the midst of strategizing, wins decisively thousands of miles away, and although Qi Shaoshang is outstanding in martial arts with his amazing and enviable one-character swordsmanship, his ability to speculate and associate is not comparable. Gu Xichaoruo, it is precisely because the two share the same interests and talents that they are evenly matched, so there is a night of mutual introduction of bosom friends in the chess pavilion.

From acquaintance, acquaintance, to cherishing each other, it's just a pity that they will eventually kill each other and hate each other.

At this time, Qi Shaoshang is like a cheetah with keen intuition. Whether it is the smell, footprints... any information left by the prey can't escape his eyes. After clarifying it, his thinking became clearer, and he was even not far from the truth.

A picture gradually appeared in his mind, superimposed on the wilderness in front of him, he seemed to 'see' a man and a woman fighting with Gu Xichao, the man was from the He family, and the woman was the ruined one. Nuocheng's fairy, this man from the He family, may be motivated by admiration or profit, so he accompanied this fairy to capture Gu Xichao here, and fled away with Gu Xichao.

Maybe they have fled far away at this time, there is no need for Qi Shaoshang to chase after them.

He went further to Songshi Town.

This late-night town is no different from other small towns in the south of the Yangtze River, with fishing boats and boats, residential houses by the water, red, white and white paper lanterns, and faint laughter from brothels.

Qi Shaoshang walked into the brothel by the river, and the bustard warmly greeted him to go upstairs, because at this time, there were still people waiting for him in the fourth room from the right on the third floor.

As soon as Qi Shaoshang pushed open the door, this man came up to him with a smile and took his hand: "Shaoshang, you are finally here."

Of course this person is not a girl, but he likes to provoke girls very much.

——Zhuge Xiaohua's disciple, the chief arrester of the imperial court in the capital, chasing after the third master.

When Qi Shaoshang saw Zhui Ming, he even had an illusion: Gu Xichao came back by himself.But he soon came to his senses, and seeing Zhui Ming keep looking behind him, he couldn't help smiling wryly, "He's back, but he's lost."

Zhui Ming suddenly lost his face.

If he is lost, he can't go back to Beijing to find happiness, and he has to continue to handle the case here in the south of the Yangtze River.

Qi Shaoshang resisted the urge to pinch his cheek, and joked with a smile: "Bored? It's rare that you don't go looking for a girl while you're here. I see, the sun is coming out from the west."

Zhui Ming folded his arms bitterly and said nothing, and secretly glanced back.

I saw Tie Shou sitting behind drinking by himself, his face was a bit dark, all the girls in the brothel had come, but he invited them all back with money, because of his dull and upright personality, he was not suitable to come In a romantic place like a brothel, Hua Yinzi only wants to be quiet, and it's hard for the restless and unruly chasing life to drink with him here for so long.

Tie Shou looked at the knife wound on Qi Shaoshang's body: "Did he escape?"

Qi Shaoshang said: "I will bring him back, but not to capture him, but to save him."

Iron Hand frowned.

Without waiting for him to ask questions, Qi Shaoshang continued: "Gu Xichao was not only kidnapped, but also framed. Those officials and common people were not killed by him, but someone put the blame on him." The blood-red 'Iron Hand': "I chopped this off from the body of a 'Red-faced Yasha'. It is the 'Luofeng Palm'."

Tie Shou took the bloody hand and looked at it carefully before his eyes. Zhui Ming also leaned over to look at it. Tie Shou looked fierce: "This is a mechanism. According to what you mean, the real murderer is the 'red-faced Yasha' you mentioned?" Have you ever seen him kill someone?"

Qi Shaoshang paused for breath, and lowered his face: "No." Suddenly he got up expectantly again: "But, Gu Xichao... Gu Xichao has studied this mechanism, and this hand can produce the same scars on people as the Luofeng Palm. So I can be sure that its owner must be one of the murderers."

Zhui Ming quickly found out the key point: "Is there more than one murderer?"

Qi Shaoshang said: "Exactly, in another unknown town, I once witnessed a blue-faced and long-toothed 'Yasha' stab someone to death with a giant needle with a strange shape, and left a scar on the chest of the deceased. Indistinguishable wounds."

Tie Shoudao: "Even if things are as you said, what is the purpose of these people framing Gu Xichao so much? Is it just to kill people and not be caught?"

Zhui Ming nodded seriously: "I think it's possible."

Holding the bloody hand in his iron hand, he looked at the sky speechlessly, and then said to Qi Shaoshang: "Who took Gu Xichao away?"

Qi Shaoshang said: "I only know that it may be a man and a woman. The woman is a fairy who ruined Nuocheng, and the man may be a member of the He family."

Zhui Ming said sternly: "I know one thing, the 'Xia San Chao' people have no enmity with Gu Xichao."

Qi Shaoshang said: "Then there are only two situations, one is for sex, and the other is for profit."

Iron Hand's expression became serious, he understood that the matter was not just a simple massacre, the more they knew, the more they might discover the complex secrets hidden in the case.

However, if Gu Xichao was kidnapped and never reappeared, then all the clues leading to the truth would be cut off, and those dozens of unjust cases could only be punished forever.

Even Zhui Ming couldn't help but start to sigh: "Shao Shang, why are you so careless that you let Gu Xichao be robbed right under your nose!"

Qi Shaoshang didn't want to explain more, but he was afraid that the more he explained, the more trouble he would cause. He raised his eyebrows and was about to apologize, but found that Tie Shou's face seemed to turn dark again. It was understandable after thinking about it. The friendship between teachers and brothers for more than a year is not as close as a newcomer who has never met, anyone would be jealous.

But Tie Erye didn't know the reason. During the whole year when he escorted Gu Xichao to escape from the capital, Zhuiming lost a calm, generous and kind second senior brother who would help him pay the drink bill. Life was not easy. It's easy, but as soon as Qi Shaoshang entered the Shenhou Mansion, he naturally took on the role of this "senior brother". He took care of the blame for Zhui Ming, he took care of Zhui Ming's debts for wine, and Zhui Ming was "love letter". He stopped the harassment, not to mention that Qi Shaoshang is also a good drinker, and the two of them can be regarded as 'drinking' rivals, 'drinking bosom friends', but with so many people in the Shenhou Mansion, there are still gods, ruthless, cold-blooded, Even the pretty girl who comes to clean the yard every day, Qi Shaoshang is the only one who is so considerate to Zhui Ming.

Of course there is a reason for it.

And this reason is very special.

Since the first meeting between Zhui Ming and Qi Shaoshang, Zhui Ming felt like old friends at first sight, and because the second senior brother was not around, he couldn't help but want to get closer to him, and because he and Gu Xichao were [-]% similar in appearance Every day, Qi Shaoshang faces this bright and innocent smiling face that shines like a little sun every day, and gradually develops ulterior selfishness.

The first time he and Zhuiming met was in front of Shenhou's mansion, when he was about to enter the mansion to obey Zhuge Shenhou's orders, Zhuiming jumped out the door with a string of candied haws. The moment people passed by, Zhui Ming discovered Qi Shaoshang—that handsome, chic, white-clothed man with vicissitudes.Zhui Ming only glanced at it, and felt as if he was being ripped off in his heart. He froze in place and seemed to be stunned for a moment. He opened his mouth and wanted to say: "This brother is really a hero." But he just said When he saw the word "hero", Qi Shaoshang suddenly turned his head and stared at him. The anger, hatred, murderous intent, and resentment suddenly surged in his eyes, and he suppressed the words that he could not utter in the future after chasing his life. Zhui Ming could only smile embarrassingly, waved his hands and said, "I have admitted the wrong person."

I don't know if he said it to himself or Qi Shaoshang.

Qi Shaoshang knew that the person in front of him was not Gu Xichao, but when he looked at that godlike face, the resentment in his heart burst out uncontrollably. , and kindly smiled with some trepidation, his mind was in a trance, he liked to see Zhui Ming's smile very much.

He knows he likes it, but he doesn't know why, or maybe he doesn't want to know.

Qi Shaoshang sarcastically said to Zhui Ming sourly: "You are also a good-looking talent."

Then Qi Shaoshang began to beg for Zhui Ming intentionally or unintentionally to make him happy, quietly indulging in his smile, he seemed to be addicted to drugs, but he enjoyed it so much, when he looked at Zhui Ming, his expression became more and more dazed , Sometimes in a daze, he almost pronounced the word 'Xi Chao', he seemed to be unable to tell the difference between chasing life and Gu Xichao, or maybe he didn't want to tell the difference.Even now, when facing Gu Xichao, Qi Shaoshang's face, which is almost exactly the same as Zhui Ming's, has the habit of being provocative, and has the intention of deliberately playing tricks.

For him, is chasing life like Gu Xichao, or is Gu Xichao like chasing life?

If this is the disease, then he is terminally ill.

When the two of them sat and drank together under the moon, Qi Shaoshang would always take advantage of his half-drunk and half-awake to treat him as Gu Xichao and say some wanton nonsense.

Once, Qi Shaoshang touched the side of Zhui Ming's cheek and said: "If only we could do this? Drink together under the moon, talk to each other, there is no pursuit, no blood debt, you are not you, and I am not me .”

Zhuiming put his hand on Qi Shaoshang's forehead, touched it for a long time, his forehead and his palm were hot, Zhuiming laughed drunkenly and said: "Shaoshang, we are like this."

Qi Shaoshang was confused for a while: "Really?" After being bored for a long time, he suddenly pinched Zhui Ming's face with one hand and whispered: "I'm going to kill you!"

Zhui Ming was already asleep, his soft face deformed by pinching, and he was still giggling.

Qi Shaoshang lowered his head, his eyes were flushed, and tears suddenly flowed down.

As time passed, they became more and more reluctant to let go of chasing life, so the two came and went, and after only three years of acquaintance, they became so close to their brothers and sisters that they were cold-blooded, ruthless, but iron-handed. When they returned to the six doors, they found themselves being chased even more He and Qi Shaoshang were left aside in the cold, becoming an outsider who had been replaced.

Until something happened to Gu Xichao, Qi Shaoshang went to Jiangnan.

Tie Shou was not selfless, he suggested to Zhuge Xiaohua that Qi Shaoshang go to Jiangnan alone first, and then he and Zhui Ming would go later. Of course, he had his own plans for the arrangement.

He knew Qi Shaoshang's heart knot towards Gu Xichao, and he had already understood Qi's ambiguous feelings towards Zhui Ming. Even before Qi Shaoshang himself had time to understand what it was, Tieshou knew it, Just like when he was soft-hearted towards Gu Xichao back then, he fled with Gu Xichao who was half-dead at that time, settled in Jiangnan and took care of him for a whole year.

But in Tie Shou's heart, Zhui Ming is still a child, and Gu Xichao is still that bad ruffian. He has no complex emotions of hatred, grief, anger, and nostalgia. clear.

Three days after Qi Shaoshang left Six Gates, Tie Shou wanted to wait a few more days, but he couldn't hold back his life, so he had to follow him to Jiangnan to meet up.

The two rode side by side, riding a white horse in a strong black outfit with iron hands, calm and calm, chasing life in white clothes (actively) getting off the black horse, chic and free.

It was a sunny day, the sky was blue and the sun was shining brightly.

Zhui Ming was full of travel and dust, and hurried on the road, always in front and never turned back, Tie Shou could only silently watch his young and powerful back.

Tie Shou couldn't help thinking, when did the pursuit of life start, and he loved wearing white clothes so much?After thinking about it, he could only sigh.

At this time, Zhui Ming suddenly turned back to look at Tie Shou, and said anxiously: "Second Senior Brother, hurry up, I'm afraid that Shao Shang has already arrived in the south of the Yangtze River at this time, I don't know if he has found Gu Xichao, if he encounters him, I don't know Will there be any danger."

Tie Shou couldn't help but turn dark: "Of course there are dangers." After a pause, he looked up at the sky, ignoring the urgent look of chasing his life: "However, I believe that Qi Shaoshang can be patient and measured, even if those two people meet , I'm afraid it's also playing the piano and dancing the sword, which is very good."

Zhui Ming frowned and remained silent, but the pace of the black horse gradually slowed down, until it was on par with the white horse, he didn't seem to notice it.

Tie Shou was ruthless: "Has Qi Shaoshang ever told you that you and Gu Xichao look very similar, no, you two look almost exactly the same!"

Zhui Ming didn't speak, he was seldom silent, but now he was silent for a while, Tie Shou was very uncomfortable with him, his heart was fluctuating, and he began to regret what he had done and said.

But Zhui Ming suddenly looked at Tie Shou and smiled, and kept on giggling. In the past, whenever he showed this kind of smile, he was usually causing trouble and was sued all the way to Six Doors and Shenhou Mansion. In Li, it is almost to the point where everyone knows it, and the master brought him to the front and scolded him severely in public, and he would scratch his head and laugh like he is now. The smile is guilty, frightened and helpless, as if saying:

Please don't say it, I know I'm wrong, it's okay...

It's an evasive smile.

And there was obviously loneliness in this smile, but he just wanted to pretend that nothing happened. He was at a loss when his iron hand was distressed, and wanted to touch his junior brother's head comfortingly, but before he stretched out his hand, it was gone. Clenched into a fist.

He shouted loudly and kicked the horse hard on the stomach, causing the white horse to neigh in pain, and the iron hand let the horse go crazy, and he galloped the horse for a long distance.

At that time, his heart was chaotic, contradictory, self-blaming, and powerless.

He was trying to save his life, but he felt like he was hurting him.

He deeply felt that he couldn't get back his life-chasing heart, so what's the point of controlling the life-chasing person?

When Tie Shou once again witnessed Zhui Ming happily rushing up to open the door for Qi Shaoshang in this brothel, and holding his hand intimately and calling him "Shaoshang", he was even more sure of this idea.

Tie Shou was pouring the wine alone, thinking: What a dog and a mouse, meddling in my own business.

Even if the younger brother was really used by Qi Shaoshang for his own selfish ideas and deceived his feelings, he was always taken good care of when he was not around, and he would not suffer any losses. Chasing his life is not a big girl, and he is afraid of being killed by Qi Shaoshang. Is it possible to eat less business?

But he was still unhappy in his heart, he always felt that chasing his life was not worth it, and his face naturally darkened accordingly.

So when Qi Shaoshang saw Tie Shou's appearance like this, he didn't think much about it. He laughed for a while, but he didn't say anything, and said to Zhui Ming: "Don't worry, I will definitely find him. Wanted, those two thieves can't escape very far with a big living person and a big burden."
