Weicheng snow

Jiang Zhige limped forward, bent over to pick up Jiang Jiuqu's red robe that fell on the ground, and limped up to Jiang Jiuqu. Jiang Jiuqu saw Jiang Zhige, With a wry smile on his face, he gradually gave up struggling.

Jiang Zhige put the coat that had a big hole in it back on for Jiang Jiuqu, carefully rolled up the latter's long hair, and tied it with a red string.

In the end, he rubbed it tentatively.

During the whole process, Jiang Jiuqu's body was shaking.

"Why..." Jiang Jiuqu closed his eyes and shook his head, "You obviously never lie, when you said you forgive me and are willing to live with me... I I'm really happy..." Suddenly opened his eyes, rushed forward, bit the flesh on Jiang Zhige's neck, and refused to let go no matter how much the killers behind him pulled, until a piece of flesh was torn off , Swallowing it into his belly, he smiled bitterly, "Why don't you fight back, don't you have a knife in your hand? Ah? Aren't you going to kill me? Hurry up! Do it!"

"I hate you, I really hate you...Jiang Zhige..."

Jiang Zhige covered the bleeding wound, his eyes darkened, "I know...I always knew that you didn't do that thing when I was a child...you didn't kill my parents ...I was wrong about this...I lied to you..."

Hearing the words, Jiang Jiuqu froze suddenly, his body trembled more than before, and his voice choked up, "You know? You know? You know! You...hahahahahahaha... ...You finally know? Since you know, why do you still treat me like this!"

Jiang Zhige closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and sighed, "Actually, I knew it at the time, but I was too uncomfortable at the time, no one could vent my anger, so I had to vent it on you, and I regretted it after a while Now, when I wanted to find you again, you had already left there... When I got news about you again, you were on the list of wanted criminals..."

As he said, he put his arms around Jiang Jiuqu's head, pressed it against the wound on his neck, and said softly, "If you had stopped you who escaped from the house earlier, maybe you and I...really They will be a pair of enviable good brothers..."

"I have never been a good brother, and I dare not ask for your forgiveness in this matter, but I know that every wrong thing you have done since then was caused by me, and I ruined everything. Your...your fault...is my fault...'

"So...promise me one thing..."

Putting his lips to Jiang Jiuqu's ear and saying something, Jiang Jiuqu's eyes suddenly opened wide, "No..."

Not allowing Jiang Jiuqu to refuse, Jiang Zhige's saber had pierced Jiang Jiuqu's abdomen, Yi Qingchen was shocked and speechless, Jiang Zhige pulled out the red knife and stabbed Jiang Jiuqu's body one after another. Blood splattered all over the chest, waist and limbs for a moment, until the killers who subdued Jiang Jiuqu let go with peace of mind, Jiang Jiuqu, who was full of holes, collapsed to his knees, and a pool of blood flowed out from under his body.

Jiang Jiuqu stared blankly at Jiang Zhige, watched him walk behind him step by step, and also knelt down.

Passing his hands through his shoulders, he placed the sharp blade across his neck.

At that moment, Jiang Jiuqu suddenly laughed, opened his mouth, a mouthful of blood gushed out, and even the words he spoke were broken, "Yuxi...Yuxi...Nai... .....like......"

Before he finished speaking, a cold light flashed by, his head flew out, and blood splashed all over Jiang Zhige's face and body.

Jiang Zhige stood up with his saber in his hands, took a few steps back, and suddenly raised his head to the sky and screamed, as if his great hatred had finally been avenged, as if his long-cherished wish had finally been fulfilled. From Yi Qingchen's point of view, it should have been something worth celebrating. Looking at Jiang Jiuqu's corpse, he couldn't say congratulatory words, and could only keep silent from the beginning to the end.

It wasn't until Jiang Zhige fully expressed his emotions and walked back slowly that Yi Qingchen smiled at him.

Jiang Zhige raised his hand and patted Yi Qingchen's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Brother Yi, take care from now on."

Yi Qingchen was stunned for a moment, not knowing what he meant by saying these words, but he read the meaning of parting vividly, and the next moment, Jiang Zhige fell to the ground and couldn't get up.

Yi Qingchen thought he was dead, but when he leaned over to check, his pulse was still beating, so he felt relieved.

Mr. Dugu looked at Jiang Jiuqu's body lying in a pool of blood from a distance, and sighed softly, "It's a pity..."

Yi Qingchen finally couldn't hold back any longer, raised his head and asked, "What exactly is Mr. regretting?"

Mr. Dugu said with a light smile, "It's a pity that one person dies, one person dies, and one soul returns to Naihe..."

Yi Qingchen thought for a while, and always felt that it was not as simple as that, "Is there something in your words?"

Mr. Dugu just tapped the palm of his hand with the folding fan, smiled meaningfully, and didn't say much.

Before the south marching army entered the valley, there was an agreement that if a Dharma protector was killed, the palace where he lived would be demolished. Firstly, it was to send a signal of victory to the southward marching army going to other palaces, and secondly, it also served as a deterrent to the Marrow Sect effect.

Once Jiang Jiuqu died, Zizai Palace lost its owner. Yi Qingchen followed Mr. Dugu and they retreated to the high ground for the time being, watching Yanzong's disciples manipulate Yanjia skillfully, and knocked down this towering and old building , A large number of bricks and stones flooded the surrounding vegetation, stone forests and sky prisons like a flood, forming a huge tomb.

Amidst the thunderous roar, the sound of landslides and ground cracks pierced through the eardrums no less than that during the heavy rain that day, and the dust overflowed all over the place for a while, and there was a strong smell of dust in the mouth and nose, and even the vision became blurred.

I don't know how long it took until the wind blows away the dust, and Jiang Zhige, who was originally drowsy, woke up amidst the huge movement, put his hands on the rock, barely propped up his upper body, and stared at the scene in front of him in astonishment.It wasn't until everything was settled and Yanzong's disciples happily walked back to the high ground to celebrate with everyone that Jiang Zhige slowly got up, staring at his palms in a daze.

Seeing this, Yi Qingchen approached Jiang Zhige and asked, "Brother Jiang? But what's wrong?"

Jiang Zhige stared at Yi Qingchen's face for a long while, then shook his head, "I'm a little upset."

Yi Qingchen smiled helplessly, looked at the ruins, and said with relief, "It's the knot that has been entangled in your heart for so many years. It's normal that you can't adapt for a while, but..." paused Suddenly, looking into Jiang Zhige's eyes, he said calmly, "When I was in Jiangling, I thought that after you knew the truth about the past, your attitude towards Jiang Jiuqu would change, and I also thought that today's matter between your brothers can be resolved. There is a more peaceful solution... After all, I, an outsider, think too much."

"Perhaps... I have been doing something wrong all along..." Jiang Zhige staring at the ruins of the Zizai Palace in a trance is really distressing. It is clearly something that is enough to be open-minded. For some reason, His expression added a bit of forbearance.

After all, Yi Qingchen is a person who knows the inside story. He knows a little about the inside story that others don't understand, so he just watched silently, and didn't make a sound to disturb him until Huazong's disciples urged them to follow the team. He said to Jiang Zhige, "Brother Jiang, let's go, the other palaces still need our support."

Jiang Zhige reluctantly looked away just now, and followed the army.

On the way of Yi Qingchen's team returning to the gourd mouth, the other four palaces that were a little further away also collapsed one after another. It is understandable for Yi Qingchen to fall down so quickly for Immortal Palace and Longevity Palace, after all, Murong Qian is not There will be a direct conflict with the Southward Army, and there are no corpse guards to guard the palace, and Wu Liang is already dead. Even if there are corpse guards guarding the Changsheng Palace, it should be cleaned up by now.

As for Lihen Palace and Yongle Palace, in Yi Qingchen's mind, the difficulty of these two palaces can be said to be comparable to that of Zizai Palace, and the end of Zizai Palace was due to the presence of Shen Sheng, Jiang Zhige and Mr. Dugu.

The Palace of Lihen and the Palace of Yongle... No matter how you think about it, they shouldn't have been destroyed so quickly...

Out of caution, Yi Qingchen's team was temporarily stationed near the gourd mouth, and only sent a few quick-footed people to check the situation near the palaces. As a result, within half an hour, the disciples who went to check the situation suddenly disappeared. One after another, they came back together with the large troops going to the various palaces.

The generals in charge of breaking through the various palaces checked the situation and instantly understood the reason why Lihen Palace and Yongle Palace were pushing so fast.

Because Duanyue, Yeluo and Sun Ming are not in their respective palaces.

Yi Qingchen had guessed this situation before, and there were two reasons for this situation. First, the guardians knew they would be defeated, so they ran away first. Second, they all gathered at Wangqing Palace , Regardless of the offensive of the South Marching Army, he insisted on fighting for the way to bring the dead back to life with his life.

If it was the second situation, Yu Mu who led the army to Wangqing Palace would be very dangerous.

Several temporary generals seemed to realize this, and hurriedly asked Mr. Dugu for his opinion. Mr. Dugu only smiled lightly, "It's no use being in a hurry, just go and have a look. After all, no matter how much you think about it, if you really touch it If you do it, the ending will always be unexpected.”

Right now is a critical moment, no one dares to be the master who gave the order, and Yu Shuai, the highest general, is not present, so all the responsibilities are naturally pushed to the shoulders of Mr. Dugu who is the deputy commander. Pushing his mask, he said with a light smile, "Leave a hundred people on guard on the way, and the rest will follow you to Wangqing Palace, do you have any objections?"

The army naturally replied, "Follow the instructions of Marshal Dugu."

Mr. Dugu shook the folding fan in his hand, his eyes fell on the face of Yi Qingchen who had been in deep thought, and he asked with a smile, "Mr. Yi, what do you want to say?"

At this juncture, it doesn't matter if the military adviser's identity is exposed or not, so Yi Qingchen let Mr. Dugu call him whatever he wanted, and only smiled and replied, "Even if it may be small, we have to consider whether the enemy will be in Wangqing Palace or not." Catch turtles in nearby urns."

Having said that, in fact, what he has been thinking about just now is how to rescue Hua Shenchi after arriving at the Palace of Wangqing, which has nothing to do with the matter of marching south. Of course, this cannot be said directly to everyone.

It was just a casual remark, but Mr. Dugu sighed, "As expected of Mr. Yi, you are really far-sighted."

Everyone followed suit.

Yi Qingchen smiled ashamedly, "Don't dare to take it." Although he said it so casually, there is still a reason, and everyone paid special attention to it. Mr. Dugu immediately arranged a group of Imperial Forest Army to go around the cliff top to observe whether there was an ambush, and by the way Surround Wangqing Palace in secret, in case of emergencies.

After everything was arranged properly, the army set out in the direction of Wangqing Palace.

Shen Sheng deliberately pulled Yi Qingchen back a little so that he could observe Jiang Zhige's every move. Yi Qingchen felt that Shen Sheng's worries were unnecessary, but the relationship between Shen Sheng and Jiang Zhige was not the same as that of Yi Qingchen. Such acquaintance, and not long ago, he also witnessed the scene of Jiang Zhige killing his relatives and younger brothers, so he was inevitably shocked.

In fact, not only Shen Sheng, but all those who witnessed the scene in the marching south were talking about the incident with other people who were not present in person. One person whispered, the voice would not be too loud, when hundreds of people whispered together It is said that even the hardest of ears cannot fail to hear.

Jiang Zhige seemed to have never heard of it, and just followed the team silently, with his head lowered and his face gloomy from the beginning to the end. Just looking at him like this, he could feel that this person's mood had reached the bottom.

The voice of discussion around him did not shrink because of this, on the contrary, it tended to become bigger and bigger.

As Shen Sheng walked, he looked at Jiang Zhige's back, and after a while, he smacked Qingchen's arm, savoring the taste, "It seems like this, after all, he should still be thinking about the ghost-masked gentleman. Man, in fact, I have always felt that the story of his two brothers is very similar to the drama of hate begets love because love begets hate in the storybook. No matter what kind of relationship, when it reaches a limit, it will inevitably change... .”

"Before going to the Zizai Palace, I was still wondering if he would think about the blood relationship, be reluctant or show mercy, and give the last knife to someone else. I didn't expect..."

"Actually, all these years, he has been upholding morality in the rivers and lakes. What is right is right and what is wrong is wrong. He does not pay attention to personal feelings and does not protect his weaknesses. His reputation on the righteous way is also unprecedentedly clear, without any stains, and he is upright. They are not like normal people, if they can go back alive after this battle, they will definitely have a bright future."

"In some ways, I admire him."

Hearing this comment, Yi Qingchen felt even more mixed feelings in his heart. After all, he is an insider who knows why Jiang Jiuqu did evil. From his point of view, no one is completely right or completely wrong. .

Jiang Jiuqu is evil, an unforgivable evil, but he didn't look like this at first, but was as clean as a piece of white paper.But because of Jiang Zhige's wrong move, he was kicked out of the house, adopted by Tiangui Laodao, and received a wrong upbringing.

Jiang Zhige is indeed not bad, he helped the righteous way, his name has been passed down through the ages, and his reputation has been passed down, but the reason why Jiang Jiuqu became evil now is all because of the fruit he planted at the beginning, and he couldn't escape the relationship, so he chased after him everywhere. Killing Jiang Jiuqu for so many years...

Thinking of this, Yi Qingchen couldn't help but sigh, "Is it Jiang Jiuqu who he wants to kill, or is it his own fault?"

It was an unintentional remark, but the moment he said it, Jiang Zhige in his vision seemed to hear it, paused in his footsteps, turned his head to stare at Yi Qingchen, and saw that Yi Qingchen was hairy all over, so embarrassed She smiled at him and looked away.

Shen Sheng also noticed Jiang Zhige's actions, pulled the corner of Yi Qingchen's clothes, and whispered, "Hey, son, he is looking at you, is it because you hit the mark."

Yi Qingchen shook Shen Sheng's hand that was holding onto the corner of his clothes, but did not shake off, and said more and more embarrassed, "After all, we are talking about others behind their backs, so don't ask me any more."

Shen Sheng didn't care much about this, he just said with emotion, "Actually, if you want to come this way, Mr. Jiang is more decisive than us. If it were me, I would definitely be reluctant to take action when facing the people around me. "

As soon as the words came out, Yi Qingchen understood what Shen Sheng meant.

Shen Sheng's intention was very simple, it was to indirectly explain the reason why he was not willing to kill Duan Yue back then.In fact, it was not all Shen Sheng's fault to let the tiger go back to the mountain in Zhao's old house, but the fault of everyone in Lingshan. Only then did he get the chance to let Duan Yue go.

After all, there is a past, a concern, and a bond, and there is a reluctance.

Yi Qingchen boasted that he would never be able to draw his sword against Murong Qian in his whole life. If Murong Qian really did something wrong and made the whole world an enemy of him, he would not be able to drive him to a dead end with his own hands.At most, he can only pretend to be a stranger when the rivers and lakes meet again, or hope that he can live well in a place that he can't see.

"Master Yi is really a soft-hearted person." Shen Sheng said with emotion.

Yi Qingchen recovered from the past, and said in a daze, "Did I say it?"

Shen Sheng nodded, "My lord has always been like this before. When he thinks deeply, he will speak out his thoughts, and sometimes even talk in sleep... Hey, don't look at me like that. Big brother said it unintentionally..."

Yi Qingchen hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover Shen Sheng's mouth, for fear that his voice would get higher and higher, causing everyone around him to hear it.

After barely clamping Shen Sheng, the whole team stopped suddenly.

Both of them are puzzled, after all, there is still some distance to reach Wangqing Palace, at best, they just arrived at the miasma-filled place in front of Wangqing Palace, why did they stop suddenly?Are you going to make a team?rest?Or do you want to arrange a new plan?They both raised their eyes to see Yu Mu who was at the front of the line.

As a result, it was this glance that both of them froze at the same time.
