King's Landing [Rebirth]

Zhang Duo saw Liang Jian in a daze, with a hesitant expression, and couldn't help feeling ridiculous in his heart. He seemed to have overestimated Liang Jian.

Thinking of this, the smile on his face turned cold, he adjusted his sitting posture and changed a comfortable angle to lean on the bed, and said disappointedly: "I thought you came to me to get the key after you had thought it through, but no matter how I look at it now, I feel that you It's like you don't know anything."

It's the key again, this is the word he uttered the most after meeting Zhang Duo, as if he wanted to remind Liang Jian of something.But no matter how Liang Jian looked back, he couldn't remember anyone or anything related to the key. That feeling was terrible. Could it be that his memory was damaged after rebirth?

Liang Jian's complexion was a little ugly, his hand touched the long knife by his side, he had an idea in his mind, and said: "I really don't understand what the key you are talking about. If you really want to ask, I want to know why you gave it to me. My knife?"

It was something that Ye Baiyi sent that day, and Mei Zhenghan was there at that time, but he didn't know that it was from Zhang Duo.

Zhang Duo glanced at the knife. It has some origins, but it is inconvenient for Ye Baiyi to convey it on his behalf.He originally didn't intend to let Liang Jian know, but since Liang Jian asked now, it didn't seem right not to tell.

Zhang Duo thought for a moment and said: "This knife is a coming-of-age gift prepared by your parents. It was originally intended to be given to you when you were crowned, but I didn't expect... I just returned it to the original owner, and it was left with me. It's been a few years."

Several people in the room were startled. Mei Zhenghan and Jiang Shengxue knew about Liang Jian's life experience, and they couldn't help being surprised when Zhang Duo said this.

Liang Jian's hand holding the knife trembled. He had never heard of this incident, and his whole family had been destroyed at that time. How could his parents have prepared a knife for him so early.

"You..." Liang Jian's mood was a little fluctuating. He looked at Zhang Duo again, looked at the calm face, and asked: "Have I seen you before? I didn't pay attention to it just now. Now I have a closer look." , I found that you look familiar."

Xu was too shocked when he found out that Zhang Duo was not that Zhang Duo just now, so Liang Jian didn't pay attention, but now he has a vague impression of a person who appeared in his memory vaguely.

Zhang Duo did not deny this point, and he recalled in a casual tone: "Well, we met, when I first became a teacher. But you had a bad temper at that time, and you were not cold or hot. Glancing at me, I left without even saying hello. I didn't expect that we would meet again in such a situation. I kept an unimportant secret and waited for you to ask, but you didn't say anything when you came. I know, didn't your parents tell you the matter..."

Zhang Duo stopped talking suddenly, and looked at Liang Jian apologetically. He almost forgot about the tragedy of Liang's family. Liang Jian's parents may not have told him, or they may not have had time to tell him.

Liang Jian didn't pay attention to what Zhang Duo said later, because Zhang Duo's words reminded him of some long-forgotten things, which were more than 20 years ago for him who has gone through two lives.

At that time, he was only eleven or twelve years old, and what he had to do every day was to practice martial arts and read books, and he rarely had leisure time.One day, a man dressed as a traveling businessman took a half-grown boy to their villa for a night. At that time, he lost his temper with his father and didn't like the outsider, so he ran away after taking a look.I only remember that young man dressed in brocade clothes, with a cheerful personality, like a peacock.

After the boy left, his father said to him: "He will be your shadow from now on."

Liang Jian didn't understand what that meant, and didn't even take it to heart.If Zhang Duo hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten it long ago.

"Are you a shadow?" Liang Jian asked uncertainly.

Zhang Duo rolled his eyes: "I really hate this saying, but it is undeniable that my existence is to be your shadow. You are in the light, and I am in the dark. I can only be there when you need me Appear in front of you, otherwise you will have to hide in the darkness like a shadow. If you don’t need me for the rest of your life, then I will have to find the next disciple and let him become a new shadow to serve your descendants.”

Those who become shadows are destined to be alone, cut off all past feelings, have only one person in each family, and only recognize one disciple in their life.The chosen ones are fortunate and unlucky, and it is up to them what to think.

It was the first time Liang Jian heard this kind of statement. He always thought that the existence of the Liang family was already a misfortune, but he didn't expect that there would be another more unfortunate existence.He vaguely guessed what the key Zhang Duo was referring to, but he was not sure yet.His parents did have some things that they didn't tell him, but he had already guessed after two lifetimes and so many things.

The shadow that belongs to him is also the guardian of the blood moon legend.No wonder Xu Liangchuan asked him to go to Tu An's family in his previous life.By the way, he also borrowed his hand to let him and Zhang Duo kill each other.It's just that Xu Liangchuan didn't expect that Zhang Duo was a fake, the real Zhang Duo...

Liang Jianjian guessed correctly. Zhang Duo died here in the previous life. He didn't participate in the subsequent events, and he didn't even know that for a secret, the An family paid a heavy price like the Liang family.Because of the changes he brought about in this life, Jiang Shengxue was able to save Zhang Duo's life here without any accident.

Time is fate, and many things that are destined in the dark are on the right track in this life.

Liang Jian's heart was a little heavy. He looked at the knife in his hand, and heard his parents' advice, and suddenly laughed, but that smile made people feel sad: "The Liang family has survived in name only, as you can see, only I am alone. You don’t need to continue to be a shadow, go back to your original life.”

It wasn't Zhang Duo who killed him, it was Liang Jian who owed An's family, and the only compensation he could do was to let Zhang Duo return to An's family.

"If I can go back, I still need your nonsense." Zhang Duo sneered at Liang Jian's words, and looked at Liang Jian with a foolish expression.He has a calm face, an expression that can be used as a quilt even when the sky is falling, and he is not ambiguous when he scolds people.

Liang Jian was momentarily speechless, remembering the key he mentioned, and asked, "You haven't told me where the key you mentioned refers to."

Zhang Duo didn't speak, but glanced at the other two people in the room. It was related to the legend of the blood moon, and he had to think about it even if he was facing the savior.Liang Jian knew what he meant, and said, "Just tell me, I won't hide my affairs from them."

Zhang Duo snorted and said, "Whatever you want, the key I'm talking about refers to the third floor. The third floor is different from the first and second floors. It must have a key to enter, instead of simply cracking the mechanism."

What Zhang Duo said was vague, Mei Zhenghan and Jiang Shengxue didn't understand, but the two of them wisely didn't ask.Liang Jian did understand, he knew what Zhang Duo was referring to.He hadn't been to the third floor, and his parents wouldn't tell him what was inside, they only said that he couldn't go in, and that he could go in when the time came.

"Since you have the key, you must know what's inside."

"You think too much, I don't know." Zhang Duo said: "But I guessed a little bit, entering the third floor can see the demeanor of your ancestors back then. Thinking about it this way, your ancestors are quite narcissistic. He set it up so difficult. The checkpoint is just to let others go in and take a look at him."

Liang Jian frowned, displeased with Zhang Duo's tone, no matter what, he was also his ancestor, and no one could tolerate nonsense.

Zhang Duo didn't care, and said: "Don't scold me in your heart, if you know how difficult it is to get the key, you will feel the same way as me."

Liang Jian was taken aback: "Didn't you say that the key is with you? How come you don't have the key?"

"When did I say that the key is with me?" As soon as Liang Jian finished speaking, Zhang Duo screamed strangely. He gritted his teeth in the pain of accidentally pulling the wound. He covered his wound and said, "I just know its The whereabouts, and there is no ability to get it. If you want the key, you have to become the emperor first."

Opening and closing the upper and lower lips will overthrow the world and change the dynasty. It is a felony that will implicate the whole family if it is spread, but in Zhang Duo's opinion, it is nothing more than mediocrity.He lazily leaned back on the bed, as if thinking of something, he turned his head to look at Mei Zhenghan, and teased: "The queen is fine too."

Liang Jian didn't miss Zhang Duo's eyes, glared at him and said, "Are you kidding me?"

Zhang Duo smiled: "It's not me playing tricks on you, it's your ancestors playing tricks on you. Your ancestors took the world as a board and all living beings as a chessboard. They played a game of future chess, and we are all just pieces in his chess game. You If you don’t believe it, you should try to become the emperor and enter the third floor to see for yourself.”

"Didn't you just say that you don't know what's on the third floor?" Liang Jian said coldly.

Zhang Duo yelled, and simply played a rogue: "Did I just say that? Why don't I remember."

Liang Jian was a little angry and wanted to ask, but Zhang Duo immediately covered the wound, showing a weak look, and said, "I am a patient, and the patient needs more rest, so I won't keep you."

Although the appearance of weakness is pretending, but Zhang Duo's condition is indeed not very good, Jiang Shengxue felt his pulse again worried, shook his head to Liang Jian and said: "He needs to rest."

Zhang Duo and Liang Jian had been reluctant to talk for so long, but now hearing Jiang Shengxue help him speak, he was in a good mood.Once this mood is good, it is easy to get carried away, and she raised her head to Liang Jian without fear of death and said, "Really, think about it, it's okay to be a queen."

"Shut up." Liang Jian rubbed his forehead with a headache, he almost forgot why he came to see Zhang Duo.It's fine that this guy wasn't the one who killed him in his previous life, but he started pretending to be confused after throwing him a plausible answer.

"Let me ask you, is the pattern you left on the forged thing unique to you?" Liang Jian still wanted to ask clearly about the past life, and didn't want to be so vague, but now the only clue left is this pattern up.

Zhang Duo didn't want to answer Liang Jian's question at first, and lay weakly on the bed, but soon he regained his energy and said, "I am not the only one who knows this, my master also accepted another apprentice before accepting me, but found that He was kicked out of the school because of his bad intentions at a young age. This pattern is a compulsory course for beginners, so he will definitely know it. It’s just that my master didn’t tell him what it means, so he probably won’t use it.”

"But isn't that your name?" Jiang Shengxue heard it strangely, and couldn't help asking.

Zhang Duo had a good impression of her, and said with a smile: "No, Zhang Duo is not referring to a person but a code name. People who become shadows are called by this name. Only when this name falls on the next shadow can the original shadow be restored Real name."

"So that's it." Liang Jian finally understood, and the matter was not that complicated. The person who killed him was Zhang Duo's senior brother who was expelled from the school. After Zhang Duo's death, he took over the identity of the shadow, and he was in collusion with Xu Liangchuan.

The disaster of An's family is that they are not sure how much An's family knows, and they would rather kill by mistake than let them go.

His revenge has not yet been reported, that person must die.

"Do you know his whereabouts?"

Zhang Duo shrugged, he really didn't know about this, he just knew that there was such a person, and he didn't even know the height, fat, or thinness of the other person.

Liang Jian didn't have any hope at first, but she wasn't discouraged when she heard Zhang Duo say this.He still remembered the appearance of the other party. He had made a mistake in the direction before, so Tingyin Pavilion did not check. Now that he knew the truth of the matter, he would naturally not let the other party go.Even if Xu Liangchuan doesn't live long, he is still a variable and must be eliminated as soon as possible.

Zhang Duo really couldn't hold it anymore, and he stopped talking to Liang Jian, and just lay down and rested.

Liang Jian frowned when he saw his injury, the poison from Fujian was unusual, what did Zhang Duo do before?He claimed to be a shadow and knew everything about Liang Jian, so he should also know Liang Jian's current identity.Liang Jian fought against a Gu master from Fujian before, maybe it was because of this incident that Zhang Duo...

Liang Jian wasn't sure, he could only ask Zhang Duo when he recovered.

Jiang Shengxue knew that Zhang Duo was important to Liang Jian, so she asked to stay and take care of him, not to return to the City Lord's Mansion for the time being.

Liang Jian thought about the muddy water in the city lord's mansion, and felt that Jiang Shengxue would be safer staying here. He left Wen Yao and the dark guard behind, and brought Mei Zhenghan back by himself.

It was getting dark after coming out of the small building. Mei Zhenghan and Liang Jian were walking on the street, neither of them spoke.This street sells mostly things from my daughter's house, so there are many girls on the street.The girl in Jiangnan is graceful and gentle, although she has admiration for these two men in her heart, she only dares to take a sneak look at them.

Liang Jian was preoccupied with something and didn't pay attention to the surrounding situation.Mei Zhenghan remembered the whispers in the crowd when he disembarked yesterday, and stepped forward to hold Liang Jian's hand.The cool palm brought Liang Jian back to his senses, and the girls around him gasped in surprise. Liang Jian turned to look at Mei Zhenghan, with puzzlement written in her bright peach eyes.

Mei Zhenghan pursed her lips and said, "When I disembarked yesterday, I heard that you and Xu Liangchuan have a very good relationship."

Liang Jian was stunned for a moment, realizing that this very well refers to another relationship, he was a little bit dumbfounded, he held Mei Zhenghan's hand tighter with his backhand, and said with a smile: "That's no match for you."

"But I always feel that I am far away from you. I still don't know much about you until today." Mei Zhenghan was a little discouraged, and a sense of powerlessness rose from the bottom of her heart.

In fact, he didn't know much about Liang Jian, but Liang Jian kept some secrets from him, which made him feel at a loss that he didn't know anything, and felt that he had never been close to Liang Jian.

"Every time I know one thing about you, I will find that there are more things behind it, and I can't see clearly." Mei Zhenghan's mood was a little low. It was like this from the beginning, full of secrets, until now It is still the same now, and there are many secrets.

Liang Jian's heart trembled, because he was born again, and he had a glimpse of half of the secrets. He really couldn't tell Mei Zhenghan about some things about him.

"Sorry, I was negligent." Liang Jian apologized, but did not answer Mei Zhenghan's question directly.

Mei Zhenghan looked at him and smiled bitterly, and didn't continue to ask, he still couldn't bear to embarrass Liang Jian.
