Binh Duong Order

Chapter 18 The first signs of the Yongzhou incident

Early in the morning, as soon as Gu Xiujin woke up and opened the door, he saw Zi Yi sitting on the steps in front of his room. It was not surprising at all, the task was completed, and it was normal to see him here.

Seeing him coming out, Zi Zi gestured and said, "He's gone."

Gu Xiujin told himself that after the task is completed, he should come to himself and tell him, this is the rule he set up for Zi Yi.

But Ziyi's habit of guarding the door is a rule Ziyi made for himself.

That's because of a previous mission.

The task was to kill people. Zi was originally given a deadline of one or three days, but Zi Yi completed the task that night. When he came back, it was midnight. Gu Xiujin fell asleep, but the quilt was shaken awake in the middle of the night.

It was the middle of the night, and Gu Xiujin was soundly asleep, and was a little dazed when he was shaken awake. Fortunately, Gu Xiujin wasn't a snooze, but he just half-opened his eyes to see things that weren't real, so he waited a bit longer to see what was in front of him clearly. All the blood in the whole body rushed to the head, and the heartbeat was so shocked that it missed a beat.

Can you imagine what it's like to wake up in the middle of the night and suddenly see a bloody face?

Zi Yi pointed at his blood-stained face, and gestured seriously to tell Gu Xiujin that his task was completed.

Gu Xiujin was scared very restrained, Ziyi didn't notice it at all.

After his limbs gradually returned to temperature, Gu Xiujin sat on the bed, covering his forehead with one hand, feeling very complicated.

First of all, it’s okay for Ziyi to complete his task honestly, not only no problem but meritorious service, and secondly, let Ziyi come to report to him after completing the task. It is also correct to do things according to one's own orders.

That's right, the choice was too much... Gu Xiujin adjusted his mood, turned around and looked at Zi Yi who was still obediently standing by the bed waiting for the next instruction, and saw Zi Yi's face , the corners of his eyes trembled uncontrollably.

Gu Xiujin looked at Ziyi seriously, trying to reason with him.

Then he just gave up.

Nonsense, if it made sense, I would have said it long ago, and today's accident would still happen?

Gu Xiujin looked at Zi Yi with a serious expression, expressing that he had a headache.

The shadow of the ghost building has been deprived of the right to be a human being since childhood. In the eyes of the ghost building, the shadow is just a tool. The most important thing for a tool is to be obedient. Tools that are not obedient are waste products and should be disposed of.

Therefore, the only things that the shadow can touch for a lifetime are killing, blood, and obedience.

Shadow was taken away from the right to listen, and also lost the ability to speak. They think that everyone communicates through gestures, and they never knew that there is such a thing as talking in this world.

They were locked up in the ghost building and trained day and night, thinking that everyone in the world was like them. Even if they went out to perform missions, they thought it was just training in another place. All they had to do was—kill Kill the opponent or be killed by the opponent.

The ghost building gave them food for ten years, and sometimes the training was so hard that all they could eat was food.

They are trapped in the "cage" made for them by the ghost building, repeating their days day after day, year after year, ignorant and unaware, and don't care about all kinds of beauty and diversity in this world .

Kezi knew it, but Kezi was cheating, and he was just an obedient tool. Although he had good eyes and ears, he was just pretending to be deaf and dumb to pass the time in the days of self-deception.

But one day, the ghost building was destroyed, and the shadow suddenly discovered the reality of this world.

It’s like you have lived half your life to become famous, and someone suddenly tells you that this is just a dream you had. Once you wake up from the dream, you are lonely and helpless, with no roof to keep out the rain, no clothes to cover your body, no food to eat, half your life is desolate Also ill.

What was it like?

Do you think the shadow will be happy?still sad?

Anyway, Ziyi is terrified. He is as ignorant of this world as a newborn baby, perhaps even worse than a baby. When a baby is born, its fate is good, and someone will take care of it for it to grow up. , the five senses have not yet fully developed, and they have been reincarnated after being ignorant and unconscious for a day and a night.

But what about Ziyi?

A shadow who can only kill and obey, doesn't even know what suicide means, you want him to face this strange and unknown world alone, what do you want him to do?

There is a saying that although everything in the world is changing endlessly, each has its own rules.

The rules belonging to Ziyi are gone, and no one taught him new rules. What do you think he can do?

Gu Xiujin also knew this, and also knew that it was not easy for Ziyi to be like this now, that's why he had a headache.

In the end—you can't be too harsh on him.

Zi has a limited understanding and acceptance of things in this world, so he really can't force it too much.

But Ziyi has been with Gu Xiujin for quite a while.

Although he is ignorant and ignorant, he is also intelligent, otherwise how could he practice such good martial arts while he is deaf, now seeing Gu Xiujin's expression is not right, he guessed that he might have done something wrong.

Although he didn't know where he was wrong, he knew he was wrong.

If you make a mistake, you must admit it. This is what the ghost building taught you before.

"I'm sorry." Ziyi said to Gu Xiujin with a gesture.

Gu Xiujin's eyes lit up, he actually knew?Is it possible that my careful teaching for so long has finally shown results?That's great!

Gu Xiujin was happy in his heart, but on his face he still had the demeanor of a gentle gentleman. He straightened his clothes and prepared a gentle smile on his face. He was just about to pretend to say a few words of magnanimity and comfort when he saw Zi Yi continue to gesture.

"Although I don't know where I was wrong, but I was wrong, I'm sorry."

Gu Xiujin's smile froze on his face, this sentence is actually needless to say.

Afterwards, Gu Xiujin still didn't do anything to himself, but told him that he was right, and asked him to go down and wash off the blood all over his body, and Zi Yi would consider it over.

In Gu Xiujin's place, it was enough for him to have nightmares for half a month in a row, and every time he could dream of that face, he couldn't sleep at night because of tormenting, it was called a lethargy.

So after that, Gu Xiujin set up a rule for Zi Yi, when the task is completed, the report must be reported, but he can't come when he is asleep.

Zi Yi was also obedient, he didn't come when he was sleeping, but he could sit at the door and wait for Gu Xiujin to wake up, Gu Xiujin told him that it was not necessary, but Zi Yi didn't listen, at first Gu Xiujin also thought about waiting for Zi Yi to finish at night After returning from the task and reporting it, he went back to sleep by himself, but the difficulty level of the task was different, and it was hard to estimate when Zi Yi would be able to complete the task, so Gu Xiujin had no choice but to let him go.

At the beginning, when I opened the door early in the morning and saw Gu Xiujin sitting in front of the door, I would be shocked, but later I would be shocked.

——I got used to it.

Gu Xiujin looked at the blood stains on Ziyi's face and said, "Are you injured?"

Zi Yihui: "It's not mine."

"who?"

"do not know."

"The people from Xie Zhien's side?"

"do not know."

"Come to save people?"

"do not know."

Alas - Gu Xiujin looked at Zi Yi's face as if it had nothing to do with him, and felt that he was doing too much, since shadows are good at killing people, and things that use their brains really can't be counted on.

Gu Xiujin made several gestures: "Dead?"

"Run away, I cut my arm."

Just hurt?Gu Xiujin frowned, being able to get away with Ziyi's hand, the martial arts are not weak, is there such a master in Yongzhou?What is this expert here for?But that's not important, the important thing is that the person ran away as soon as it was delivered, so he couldn't avoid asking Xie Zhien what it meant.

Gu Xiujin led his son to Xie Zhien's place as soon as he finished his breakfast.

When they arrived at the place, they sent people in to report, but the door was opened, but no one was seen.

"Mr. Gu, forgive me. Last night, a thief broke into the mansion, not only burned the house, but also rescued the important criminals sent by Mr. Gu. My father felt ashamed of Mr. Gu, so he took people out of the mansion early in the morning to arrest them. I have gone, I swear to give Mr. Gu an explanation, Mr. Gu rest easy, and rest for a while, my father is definitely not as trustworthy as Mr. Gu."

Gu Xiujin waited for a while, but he didn't wait for Xie Zhien, but only got a reply.

The person who came was Xie Zhien's daughter, named Xie Meng'an, who was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a gentle oval face, a pair of eyebrows that were not dotted but emerald, they were curved and thin willow leaf eyebrows, her eyes were watery, her nose and mouth were small and delicate, and her bones were strong. With a slender body and a soft figure, the whole person stood there, like a little white rabbit, looking timid.

Xie Mengan's voice is also soft and waxy when he speaks, light and thin, like a feather gently passing over your heart, making you so crispy.

Gu Xiujin scolded Xie Zhien in his heart, let his daughter come out to take care of him when he got into trouble, he is really not a good person, why?Are you not afraid of bullying his daughter?Still don't feel like that kind of person?

An old fox, he is really not that kind of person.

Gu Xiujin didn't see the person he wanted to meet, and he didn't have a chance to speak out when he was full of accusations. No matter how much he bothered Xie Zhien, he wouldn't throw anger at an innocent little girl.

With him, it has always been a case-by-case basis, whoever is responsible for the fault, and the disaster never hurts others.

"Miss Xie is serious." Gu Xiujin got up and saluted, "Since Mr. Xie is not here, I don't want to disturb you, so I will take my leave first and come to visit another day."

Xie Zhi'en is not here, if I make more troubles, it will seem that I am making trouble for no reason.

Xie Meng'an returned the gift, and said in a soft voice: "Let Mr. Gu go for nothing, I hope you can forgive me for the poor hospitality."

"Miss Xie is serious, I will take my leave." After Gu Xiujin finished speaking, he led himself out, stopped suddenly at the door, turned around and looked at Xie Mengran with a smile on his face, and said, "By the way, Miss Xie, please tell your father a word. Let’s just say, it’s the end of summer, and it’s going to rain in a few days, and then the millet won’t be able to dry.”

Xie Meng'an made a salute: "Thank you, Mr. Gu, for your enlightenment. If Mr. Gu says it, the little girl will definitely bring it."

"Thank you." Gu Xiujin led Ziyi out.

Xie Zhien, it seems that you, the magistrate, have been doing too comfortably these past few years. After making so many things, what exactly do you want to do?

Gu Xiujin and Ziyi got into the carriage, Gu Xiujin thought about what Xie Mengan said just now, and gestured to Ziyi: "Is there a fire last night?"

Zi Yihui: "Yes."

"When?"

"When someone comes."

"You hurt that one?"

"Correct."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"You didn't ask."

"..." Don't get angry, Gu Xiujin, these are trivial things, don't get angry, don't get angry, you are a gentleman, you have grace, you have tolerance, it's just trivial things, there's no need to get angry, there's no need for it.

on fire?Master?

Gu Xiu thought, is he here to kill people, or to save people?

Yesterday's incident happened suddenly, knowing that he was the one who arrested Ye Shulin and the others, not many, let alone knowing that he sent them to Xie Zhien.

To be able to know where the person is locked up in such a short period of time, and to make such a big commotion, and to find a master—could it be someone from the Jianghu?Tai'an Bank or the person sent by the Four Seas Escort Bureau to secretly protect?

No, if this is the case, they should have done it when they arrested people themselves, why wait until now?

Could it be that the imperial court sent him to protect the young master?

That's not right, if this is the case, the young master won't be tied up, and there won't be no news of him now.

From Mikage?No, this is not Mikage's style.

Gu Xiujin rubbed the center of his brows, who else could this be?

A sudden thought crossed his mind, Gu Xiujin opened the curtain and ordered: "Go back immediately and disperse all our people, let them keep an eye on Xie Zhien and the people around him, and come and report to me every quarter of an hour what they did. what."

"Yes." A person was ordered to lift his breath and lighten his body, and disappeared after a few ups and downs.

Gu Xiujin slammed down the curtain: "Xie Zhien, I want to see what kind of trick you are playing."

In the early morning, Yongzhou City began to be lively. The people only knew that there was a big commotion last night, but they didn't know what happened. They just gathered together to gossip when they were free. There would always be one or two A so-called insider told the whole story with an inscrutable expression.

I always say half and leave half, and when others are urging me to continue, I completely forget the appearance of a gossiping woman just now, with a Buddha-like face, pretending to say a few words "can't say, can't say", and then leave Give listeners endless reverie.

But it’s all just fun in your free time, you still have to live your life well, the day’s plan is in the morning, early in the morning, everyone has to clean up their little days, don’t they?

So these gossips, after listening to a few comments with one ear, they will dissipate with the smoke from making breakfast, not in the heart, not in front of the eyes.

The streets of Yongzhou City are bustling with more people, but there are always some cramped places that people don't frequent.

"What do you mean now?" A man in uniform asked in a narrow alley behind Yongzhou City Street. The blood scab that had just started to form on his forehead was clearly visible. The man who smashed his forehead with the teapot seemed to be the leader of the four.

Not only him, but his other three companions, one of them went up to the roof to see if there was anyone coming this way in the distance, and the other two guarded the front and rear exits of the alley one by one, in case someone suddenly came in or someone Hide and eavesdrop.

The leader looked at the person in front of him and said in a strange tone: "Our patience is also limited."

"It's not like you can't see the situation now. What do you think I can do?" The man said, "Gu Xiujin is keeping an eye on him. Everyone has come to my house. What do you think I can do?"

The one who spoke to the leader was the magistrate of Yongzhou——Xie Zhien.

It seemed that the leader's patience was also exhausted, and he suddenly raised his tone: "This has nothing to do with me! We have already treated you kindly, don't forget what you promised us!"

"Give me a few more days." Xie Zhien promised: "The person Gu Xiujin sent was suddenly rescued, he will definitely not let it go now, give me a few more days, and when I find someone...... .”

"Wait until you find someone! The autumn harvest should be over!" The leader interrupted Xie Zhien roughly: "Tomorrow will be the beginning of autumn, and when the autumn harvest is over, what are you going to do? Are you treating us like idiots? "

"How could it be?" Xie Zhien said sincerely, "Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised, please allow a few more days, just a few days, I promise..."

The leader once again interrupted Xie Zhien: "I think you are too comfortable with this magistrate, have you forgotten how you got here?" The leader looked at Xie Zhien coldly, with endless sarcasm in his tone: "Thank you Zhiyi."
