King's Landing [Rebirth]

The author has something to say:

I overhauled the second half of Chapter 2 again, because I felt the turning point was blunt, so I changed a template.You can re-read the cute ones you have seen, I promise this is the last time, and I won’t overhaul it like this (after all, it hurts my soul, I’ve been working on it for three days o(╥﹏╥)o, and I don’t even have time to write an update)

Black Crow does not refer to a specific person, but a name for a certain killer organization in the world.This killer organization uses crows as their totems. They wear iron masks carved with crow heads and night clothes. After nightfall, they will fly out of the bird's nest and fly to the home of their prey in groups.

They didn't have this name originally, but because where they passed, there were mountains of bones and crows, just like the crows reported by the totem to eat carrion, bringing death and despair.Out of fear of them, the Jianghu people no longer mentioned their original names, but instead called them black crows.

No living person can escape from the hands of the black crow. As long as it is their prey, unless it turns into a rotten corpse, otherwise, even if they chase it to the ends of the earth, the black crow will also take the head of the prey.

In front of the black crow, no matter whether you are a peddler or a high-ranking official, you are just a dead person in the end.They are a group of killers who kill for the sake of killing. They have no emotions, no desires, and they dedicate their lives to the leader.

No one in the rivers and lakes can tell the origin of this group of black crows. They seem to be an organization that appeared out of nowhere. No one knows how they recruit killers and how they take orders.There was a force that used all its power to spy on Black Crow's boss, and wanted to catch them all.As a result, not only did he not find any root hairs, but he also caused his own death, and the entire power was completely subverted.The bones piled up on the top of the mountain, and the blood flowed like a river.

This battle undoubtedly added a heavy touch to the black crow's thick ink-like mysterious color, making it second only to the number one legend of the blood moon in terms of mystery in the arena.

The cool wind picked up again in the Buddhist hall, and the flames danced violently. The city lord watched the blood flow from the black crow's nipples and gathered into a pool of blood. He couldn't help frowning, his forehead twitched.Black crows never act alone, they often travel in groups.The black crow who was accidentally killed was not the end of the trouble, but a letter of challenge, announcing the arrival of the black crow organization, which would bloodbath this place.

Such an arrogance dismounted and stepped heavily on the painful feet of the city lord. He was so indignant in his heart that he laughed instead, said three good words, and shouted: "I want to see if these black crows are more fatal or I am slow." Liang Chuan's life is hard, since they dare to come to my City Lord's Mansion, I will make sure that they never come back."

If he hadn't been poisoned and weak, he would have slammed the table and stood up when he spoke, expressing his anger clearly.

Compared to Xu Liangchuan, who was already in a rage, Liang Jian stood still, unusually calm, raised his glass and drank leisurely, with a willful and lazy attitude.Xu Liangchuan was stimulated by his casual attitude, and countless questions arose in his heart, about his poison, about Liang Jian's understanding of the black crow's actions.

It's just that before he had time to ask these questions, something happened again.

A gust of wind suddenly rose outside the Buddhist hall, and the door that was only closed was blown open by the wind, and the splashing water was brought in by the wind, and the coolness permeated the whole room.The candles at the door were extinguished, and the light in the room dimmed, leaving only the faint light from the rain curtain.

The position of the low table is facing the gate, and it can be seen at a glance that it is a bluestone bridge.It was a rainy day with thick clouds and the sky was dark. Even though it was not night, the light outside had already dimmed.But even so, it did not prevent Xu Liangchuan from seeing the stone bridge of the water pavilion clearly.

A stone bridge that was not long at first was densely packed with men in black wearing masks. The clear snow-colored weapons in their hands turned out to be the brightest light under the dusk sky.

Black crows, all-pervasive black crows, they have already occupied the stone bridge, just waiting for a signal to rush in.

Xu Liangchuan only felt a chill rushing up from the bottom of his feet, but soon, this chill was replaced by anger.He struggled to get up, but in vain, the hand supporting the low table slipped, and his body fell to one side.Seeing that he was about to have an intimate contact with the bed of the first person, one hand came across to hold his body firmly.

"Do you want to be brave at a time like this?" Liang Jian asked in a low voice, suppressing the smile on his face.In the dim light, half of his face hidden in the shadows was hard to see clearly.

Xu Liangchuan grabbed his arm fiercely, and hurriedly said: "Ziyi, go and see if there is any antidote on that dead man, and help me find the antidote. There are too many black crows, you can't handle it alone .”

Now that the matter has come to this point, Xu Liangchuan will not think that the person who poisoned him is Liang Jian.He needed an antidote now, otherwise neither he nor Liang Jian would survive.The Buddhist hall is secluded, and the rain is too loud, enough to cover up all the killing sounds.

Liang Jian didn't move, Xu Liangchuan felt a moment's stalemate in his body, raised his head in surprise, and met Liang Jian's complicated eyes that he didn't have time to retract.That glance contained too many things, like surprise and nostalgia, as if looking at a longer past through Xu Liangchuan.

Xu Liangchuan was stunned for a moment, before he realized anything more from this look, Liang Jian narrowed his eyes, helped him lean on the low table, then turned and walked towards the door.

In the pouring rain, groups of black crows occupying the stone bridge are like ghosts crawling out of the Nether River, with sharp knives in their hands full of fangs that have ripped open their stomachs.They and Liang Jian looked at each other across the air, and their murderous intent rushed straight at Liang Jian.

Liang Jian smiled contemptuously. He had seen the blood-colored moon, walked through the river in the depths of the darkness, and climbed back to the world from the Temple of Yama. Death was no longer a fear in his eyes.He alone is enough to clean up this group of black crows.

The heavy rain did not stop, and the black shadows in the rain curtain moved. They jumped up from the stone bridge like soaring birds, and the sharp blades in their hands cut through the heavy rain curtain. The speed was so fast that the falling water droplets stagnated for a moment.

Liang Jian stood at the door, motionless as a pine.The Buddhist hall is a place of pure cultivation, and weapons are not allowed to enter.At the moment, the wrist guards all over his body are made of iron, but this thing is really a tasteless weapon against a sharp weapon.

The first black crow to attack has already arrived, his weapon is still stained with water, and he can't wait to drink blood and return.Liang Jian raised his eyes, a contemptuous sneer appeared on his pretty face, he easily dodged the black crow's attack, twisted his hand on the handle of the umbrella hanging by the door, and even pulled out a long knife.

This knife is extremely narrow, less than two fingers wide. There is a blood groove on the back of the knife, and the blade is as thin as a cicada's wing.

In the black crow's eyes widened in surprise, the snow-colored long knife cut towards it like a spirit snake hunting.Before he had time to retreat, he was decapitated.A stream of blood sprayed out from the neck of the severed head, staining the threshold of the small Buddhist hall red, where Liang Jian should have been standing, but at this moment Liang Jian had disappeared.His figure turned into a black ghost, with a long knife in his hand, straight into the belly of the black crow, and he was bound to tear their camp from the inside out to pieces.

Xu Liangchuan leaned against the low table and looked at the scene in front of him. Instead of feeling fortunate that he could escape, he was extremely terrified.Liang Jian was very strong, stronger than he expected, and he was a completely different person from before.After rescuing Liang Jian for three years and accompanying him day and night, Xu Liangchuan dared not say that he knew Liang Jian's actions well, but he would not deviate to this extent.

Obviously a month ago, Liang Jian was only at an upper-middle level, barely able to last a stick of incense in his hands, but now he is so strong.The mysterious and ruthless black crow can't get any benefit in his hands. Compared with him, the mysterious veil of the black crow becomes a piece of paper, and a big hole will be pierced with a poke.

The sound of weapons handing off and the sound of rain mixed together, making it hard to tell whether it was the noisy sound of rain or the harsh sound of weapons.

Xu Liangchuan became upset, the candles in the Buddhist hall danced in the wind, like clusters of boundless will-o'-the-wisps, clinging to the candlesticks that could fall down at any time.

Boom, in the cold autumn, suddenly there was a thunder, and the ground exploded, tearing the peace of the entire city lord's mansion.

The last black crow became the dead soul under the knife. Liang Jian drew out the long knife, and the rain washed away the blood on it, revealing the original appearance of the knife.Liang Jian was drenched all over. He raised his head, looked at the main courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, listened carefully, and heard the sound of weapons colliding from the sound of the rain—the other black crows who sneaked into the City Lord's Mansion fought with the patrolling soldiers.

Liang Jian smiled, jumped up the corridor, and walked into the Buddhist hall with a knife.

Xu Liangchuan watched him step by step, his heart seemed to be gripped by a hand, and that hand kept tightening with Liang Jian's steps. strenuous.

Liang Jian stood the knife by his feet, took the wine on the table, and drank it in big gulps.There was not much wine left, and it would soon bottom out. Liang Jian put down the wine bottle, wiped the water from his face, and sat with an expression on his face.His smile just now seemed to have happened a long time ago, and now his brows and eyes are stern, and he naturally has an aura of repelling others thousands of miles away.When people look at it, they feel like an unfamiliar wolf cub.

Liang Jian didn't speak, and Xu Liangchuan stayed silent with him.Facing the corpses on the ground and the indelible smell of blood, the two had their own thoughts.The sound of the rain outside the house became silent, as if there were only the two of them left in the world, and there was nothing else.

After a long time, Liang Jian looked up at Xu Liangchuan, and said in an emotionless voice, "Brother, I really miss home."

Xu Liangchuan's hands trembled uncontrollably. This was the second time Liang Jian said that he was homesick today. Unlike the melancholy the first time, he spoke this time very calmly, as if he was stating something rather than expressing something. emotion.

Xu Liangchuan couldn't figure out his thoughts. He felt that Liang Jian had changed a lot after the murder.

Xu Liangchuan was familiar with Liang Jian before he went out to kill. Xu Liangchuan could understand every expression and every word of his.But Liang Jian who came in after the murder was so unfamiliar that it made people feel cold.Endless waves formed in his clear eyes, forming a huge vortex, making it difficult for people to see.

Silence is not a good way to deal with it. Xu Liangchuan chose the safest way to comfort Liang Jian and said, "Zi Yi, people cannot be resurrected after death, and your parents don't want to see you like this even if they are alive."

"Really?" Liang Jian sneered, held the knife at his feet, pointed the blade at Xu Liangchuan, and said, "I thought brother would give me a home, help me find the murderer, and tear him into pieces."

"Hasn't the City Lord's Mansion always been your home?" There was still a thin smell of blood on the blade stretched out in front of him, Xu Liangchuan's pupils shrank suddenly, and his face sank: "I rescued you back then, and I know you don't want to mention it. I have never questioned you about my own affairs, nor allowed the people below to inquire. I know you are eager for revenge, so I propose you to be the commander-in-chief, let you control the military power, and have the manpower to track down the murderer. Why? As a big brother, I can do it For this sake, isn't it enough?"

"You mentioned me to be the commander-in-chief so that I can help you contain Fan Tong, not to make it easier for me to track down the murderer. In the past three years, you have deliberately connived me to suppress Fan Tong, weakened his power step by step, and made him hold a grudge against me." What it is, you should know better than anyone else."

"What do you mean?" Xu Liangchuan was provoked by Liang Jian's words, his face was livid with anger, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Liang Jian, you have to argue with me at this time? The City Lord's Mansion is besieged by black crows. Do you have to talk about this?"

"Heh, the black crow." Liang Jian sneered disdainfully, looked at Xu Liangchuan playfully, and said, "Aren't you wondering how the black crow got in?"

Xu Liangchuan was taken aback, and the fragmentary guesses in his mind were suddenly connected by a thread. He looked at Liang Jian in disbelief, and said in disbelief, "It's you!"

"Yes, it's me." Liang Jian admitted without hesitation. He looked at Xu Liangchuan with pity, and told him his plan verbatim. Seeing his trust being shattered bit by bit, his heart was full of tears. The pleasure of revenge.

"Except for me, no one in Jiangcheng knows the defense of the city well. I intentionally changed the patrol time and gave the patrol map of this time period to the black crow, so that they can easily come in. But after the defense change, the patrol map in their hands is gone. It will lose its effect, and its whereabouts will be completely exposed. Listen, there is already a fight. Everyone is busy killing black crows, and even if they remember that there is still a city lord in the small Buddhist hall, they will not come here, because the commander is here."

In Jiangcheng, Xu Liangchuan was the most powerful centralizer. It stands to reason that if assassins invaded, everyone would immediately think of his safety.But because of Xu Liangchuan's intentional connivance these years, Liang Jian's status in the hearts of the soldiers has also reached an incredible height. The soldiers regard him as the invincible god of war, so even if those people want to come here, they will come after the black crow is dealt with.

Xu Liangchuan's face was ugly. He looked at Liang Jian disappointedly, and said in confusion: "Liang Jian, why did you do this? I have ever felt sorry for you. You want to join hands with the black crow to deal with me."

Xu Liangchuan's questioning was loud, and Liang Jian's hand holding the knife shook. He looked at Xu Liangchuan and couldn't help laughing. The laughter was extremely crazy, as if hearing an absurd joke.

"Why?" Liang Jian stopped laughing, repeated these three words, looked over from the edge of the knife, and finally fell on Xu Liangchuan's face, sneered: "When you ask me why, why don't you first think about being rejected?" You led the bloodbath of the Scarlet Cloud Villa. All these years, you have raised me under your command, and watched me chase the murderer's footsteps and return without success. Are you laughing wildly in your heart? Because I am so easy to deceive, but A well-planned life-saving favor deceived me around, so that I would not doubt you, trust you unconditionally, and work hard for you."

Liang Jian said at the end, her voice raised involuntarily, and the words "I will work hard for you" almost yelled out.He was so emotional that he couldn't even hold the knife steady.In the end, he was always uneasy.

They lived together for eleven years in the previous life, and more than three years in this life. The true feelings he thought were all deceitful lies in the end.In the month since he was reborn, every breath and every moment he has been floating in the memories of his past life and this life. All the good things in the past have been stripped of the appearance, revealing the cruel and bloody reality inside.

Every day as soon as he closes his eyes, he feels hundreds of iron arrows piercing his body. He kneels in the main hall, and Xu Liangchuan, who is enthroned as emperor, looks down on him with cold eyes, as if he is looking at a lost dog.

"Since you have worked for me for many years, I should let you understand. I brought blood to the Scarlet Cloud Villa, and I killed your father and mother. If it weren't for your father's bones being too hard, he suffered all kinds of torture. I also refuse to tell the location of the legend of the Blood Moon, and I don’t need to save you. Fortunately, you are a dog that is easy to raise and familiar with, and it is still useful to keep.”

Before his death in the previous life, Xu Liangchuan's words were like a curse, tearing Liang Jian's soul into countless pieces.The elder brother whom he respects, loves and spares no effort to protect is actually the murderer who hides the deepest.In the face of death, all good things become illusory illusions.Those words chased from the previous life to this life, making him restless.

"In these years, I have also had some feelings for you. It is a pity that you have made great military achievements, and more than half of the military power of the dynasty belongs to you. Even Du Ping, it is difficult to check and balance with you. You have become a serious problem in my heart, so I have to give you a Cheng, let you go to hell to reunite with your parents."

In the previous life, the situation was changing, once the world was in chaos, all the heroes rose together, and all forces gathered together to stir up the situation.

Liang Jian knew that Xu Liangchuan was interested in the throne, and overcame obstacles for him, conquering thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, but in the end he ended up with nothing.Not only did he die badly, but Mu Zhenghan, who rescued him, also died without a whole body.

If all this was just because of a power struggle, Liang Jian might be able to show mercy to Xu Liangchuan after his rebirth.It's a pity that there is no real love between them, only blood and blood.
