Listen to the king's order

Jiang Qichen became the head of the Jiang family at the age of 12.

His father, Jiang Lianqiu, died that year, and his leg was also destroyed that year.

Back then, Jiang Lianqiu and Jiang Qichen were infected with an unknown poison, Jiang Lianqiu died, but Jiang Qichen escaped because of his young age and the slow spread of the poison.But his legs could no longer walk due to the transfer of the poison.

Later, Jiang Qichen's mother, who was born in Medicine King Valley, invited her master Medicine King Duan Qingshen, who knelt and kowtowed frequently.But at that time, the toxins on Jiang Qichen's body could not be completely removed, and could only be temporarily suppressed on his legs. After that, he was unable to walk about seven days a month and had to rely on a four-wheeled vehicle for mobility.

No one knows why Jiang Qichen and his father Jiang Lianqiu were poisoned and what kind of poison they were poisoned.

At that time, there were always rumors in the world: Huo Liuzhi of Northern Chen had always loved Jiang Qichen's mother, Hua Sang, but was robbed of love by Jiang Lianqiu.Therefore, because of love and hatred, Jiang Lianqiu and his son secretly poisoned each other.However, these rumors disappeared when the Huo family was slaughtered three years later.Instead, Jiang Qichen avenged his father and assassinated Huo Liuzhi.

Lu Ming returned to his hut, took a bath, took off his tattered black clothes, and got into the barrel in a bit of a mess.

The hot air in the water rose densely, making Lu Ming feel a little dazed.

Ever since Lu Ming became sensible, he seldom indulged his thoughts like this.For a killer, the very word "thought" is wrong.He forced himself to become ruthless and ruthless.He knows that emotion is the scariest thing, which will affect his judgment and every decision he makes.

He promised to be the "shadow", the sharpest knife in Jiang Qichen's hand.He has always done well, never made a mistake, never crossed the line.Oh, except tonight.For the first time, he felt defeated, powerless, even panicked.He hoped that one day he could overcome difficulties for Jiang Qichen, and that one day he would be qualified to stand by his side.Not the child who can only be in the dark, begging the gods to take him away.

He firmly guarded his barren field, allowing Jiang Qichen to reclaim and build forests in it.He restrained himself, but he couldn't remain indifferent.

He can only engrave the bottom line in his heart over and over again, and put on a hard shell layer by layer.How indestructible they look.

He thought that as long as Jiang Qichen opened his mouth, he could give his life to him without hesitation.He even wanted to cut open his own heart, show Jiang Qichen his whole heart, and listen to his little bit of heart that is ashamed to the world along the way.

His dirty emotions are like poisonous vines, taking root in his heart, and surrounding his Juechen thoughts layer by layer.He couldn't bear it anymore, being under the same roof with Jiang Qichen could only be called his master and servant.So, these years he has been running around in the rivers and lakes, trying to avoid every opportunity to meet Jiang Qichen as much as possible.

He obeyed Jiang Qichen, but Jiang Qichen always only regarded him as the wild child he picked up in the mountains and forests.

Lu Ming stretched out his hand to press the wound on his shoulder, and pressed his fingers into the flesh three points.Until the warm blood slid down his shoulder, until the pain finally woke him up from the filthy feeling.

He thought, since Jiang Qichen called him a "shadow", he should just quietly stay behind him like a ghost lurking in the dark.

On the second day, the sky was bright.

Lu Ming put away the black clothes and robes that were piercing through, and changed into an aqua blue gown.The golden headband used to tie the hair was replaced with a silver hairpin, which was inserted into the bun tied behind the head.The Qingyue scimitar he was carrying was hidden by the windbreaker outside his clothes, and his hand was empty as if something was missing, so he opened the cabinet and took out a folding fan and held it in his hand.

He has a handsome face, and from a distance, he looks like a handsome young man facing the wind in a jade tree, except for the lingering aura of not being close to strangers and being as cold as ice.

Lu Ming stood in the courtyard, his ears moved, and he looked up to the sky.

He had excellent eyes and ears, and saw a palm-sized goshawk "flapping" its wings flying over the sky at an extremely fast speed, and finally landed in front of Jiang Qichen's window.He shook the folding fan in his hand, raised his legs and walked towards Jiang Qichen's room.

When Lu Ming walked a long way, he saw Jiang Qichen's door was wide open, and the roller blind in the room was blown straight by the wind.Lu Ming's brows tightened, but he was still thinking about

According to the rules, he tapped lightly on the door twice.

Hearing a response from the people in the room, Lu Ming stepped in, and saw that Jiang Qichen was the only one sitting on the four-wheeled cart by the window, holding the letter sent by Goshawk in his hand, and his face was even more complex than that of Jiang Qichen. It was even a little paler yesterday.

Lu Ming closed the door casually, walked up to Jiang Qichen, hesitated for a moment, raised his eyes to look out the window, and closed the window conveniently.

Jiang Qichen glanced at Lu Ming inexplicably: "Why close the doors and windows, the room smells like medicine."

Hearing this, Lu Ming raised the window again, revealing a small slit for ventilation.

Lu Ming knew Jiang Qichen's leg ailment all too well.Although it was probably the best outcome for Jiang Qichen to have only seven days of mobility problems each month, the seven days when he couldn't walk were very painful.For the first two days, my legs were as stiff as stones, then they were as limp as mud for the next two days, and in the last three days they were so sore that they were eaten by thousands of ants.

Looking at Jiang Qichen's face, Lu Ming knew that this was probably the last three days of his illness.He lowered his body silently and squatted beside Jiang Qichen's four-wheeler, with one hand attached to Jiang Qichen's arm on the right side of the four-wheeler.

Jiang Qichen was still concentrating on looking at the note on his left hand, for a moment he forgot to react to Lu Ming's hand on his arm, and the next moment a long internal force came from that person's warm palm.He only felt that the muscles and veins all over his body suddenly became connected, and even the pain in his legs eased a bit.

Jiang Qichen didn't move his eyes from the note, but he grabbed Lu Ming's still-struggling wrist and interrupted him. He moved his right hand away from the four-wheeled cart imperceptibly, and said in a deep voice, "I haven't seen you for a while. , your internal strength has improved a lot."

Lu Ming's palm was slightly cold, as if the warmth from that person was still there.With his empty hand, he scratched the air in vain, and only caught a few floating lingering fragrances. He said: "The master said, no matter when and where, you must practice hard, and you can't let it go."

Jiang Qichen couldn't help but smile, but his tone was not soft: "You've been out for so many days, you can say some stupid things. You should remember that I said that if you want to be self-respecting, no matter how good your kung fu is, you won't be able to." Feel free to entertain yourself." As he said, he threw the note in his hand to Lu Ming: "You came just in time, Goshawk just sent me this thing."

Lu Ming took the note, which said that the Xin family was wiped out last night.The letter was sent from Pei Tianxiao, the head of the current three major families in the west of Chen Guo. In the letter, he bluntly stated that the destruction of the Xin family last night was exactly the same as what happened to the Huo family 12 years ago. Fearing that some evil people would covet the plea talisman, Jiang Qichen was asked to go to Dongchen to discuss it. this matter. (Note: The east of Chen Guo is referred to as Dong Chen, and the west of Chen Guo is referred to as Xi Chen. By analogy, the same below.)

Lu Ming couldn't be more clear about what was said in the letter.But Jiang Qichen has lived in seclusion for many years, rarely showing his face in the arena.What's more, everyone in the world knows that the head of the Nanchenjiang family suffers from leg problems, and he has to rely on a four-wheeled cart to barely move a few steps when he travels. Is a speechless master.This time, Pei Tianxiao even sent a letter asking him to go to Dongchen in person, so he must have something in his mind.

Lu Ming said, "Master, are you going?"

"Why don't you go?" Jiang Qichen's tone was instantly soft like the sky in March, but with an irresistible majesty: "I have stayed here in Nanchen for more than ten years. Outsiders only know that I am a Useless idler, if I don't go out for a stroll, I'm afraid they will forget where the gate of the Jiang family opens."

But Lu Ming frowned: "Master, is your body able to take it?" He thought, it would be great if he could help Jiang Qichen settle these endless disputes, so that Jiang Qichen could really feel at ease In this world of Nanchen, be his idle son carefree.

There was a faint smile on Jiang Qichen's face, and he said in a low voice, which seemed to be comforting but also mocking: "It's okay, anyway, in the eyes of outsiders, I'm a paralyzed person."

Lu Ming looked at Jiang Qichen's quiet face, and he found a flash of blackness on that face.

He felt that his worries were unnecessary.

Jiang Qichen learned from Tianyan sect when he was young, and what he cultivated was moral merit.After being poisoned, he worshiped Lu Ke, the sword fairy of Jianghu Sanren, as his teacher, and walked the way of sword qi.Dao and sword are united, although he suffers from seven days of leg pain every month, but once the seven days are over, his kung fu alone is beyond compare.Furthermore, Jiang Qichen has always been extremely intelligent, and he will never do anything he is not sure about.

"Ming'er." Jiang Qichen called out, "Since that's the case, don't go back to the shadow, go with me."

Lu Ming was startled when he heard that.

Although he still has a layer of innocence on the skin of the shadow.Over the years, he has often walked around the major salt villages in the Chen country under the identity of "Lu Ming".However, she has never walked so unscrupulously in the rivers and lakes.

To be honest, he was a little apprehensive.

In case the fact that he is the "shadow" killer is known by the people in the world.So how should he deal with himself?What kind of situation will Jiang Qichen be in?Will there be variables in their plans?This big net that has been carefully arranged for more than ten years, if something goes wrong on him alone, he will never be able to forgive himself.

Seeming to see through Lu Ming's thoughts, Jiang Qichen said softly: "Ming'er, you don't need to have so many worries. Since I let you show up, I already have a perfect plan. Whether it is 'Shadow' or 'Lu Ming', You're all doing great."

The haze in Lu Ming's heart was swept away by Jiang Qichen's gentle words.His gentle voice, like scattered sunlight, shone into his dark life so clearly and unscrupulously, becoming his salvation before he fell.

So he was happy again.
