Green Lantern Bond
Chapter 13 Trap
Chongyun stood on the spot and watched Liu Hanyi walk away, but he himself did not go back to Gong's house as he said just now, but turned back along the way he came.
Holding an umbrella, he walked to the embankment where the Jiangting Painting Boat was docked, and he had no intention of boarding the boat, but stood by the embankment for a while.
Far and near is a landscape of lakes and mountains. The gorgeous sunlight shines on the lake surface, refracting eye-catching fragments of light. Chongyun's azure robe is also tainted with a touch of gold in this gorgeous brilliance.
He has an elegant face, with a gentle smile on his brows and corners of his eyes, his eyes are clear and clear, like a spoiled young master, in fact, he is exactly like that.But when he restrained all the emotions on his face, his deep eyes and quiet face gave people a dignified feeling, which was different from Duan Chen's solemn and solemn feeling, which was not deep. But at a certain moment, the people around will not consciously quiet down.
He didn't wait too long, and saw Duan Chen coming out of the boat, Chong Yun looked at him coldly, although his eyes were blindfolded, his footsteps were unhurried, like walking on flat ground, for some reason, his originally agitated mood also Then calm down.
Duan Chen stepped off the pedal, as if knowing that he had not left, he slowly walked towards Chongyun and stopped beside him.
The two faced each other, Chong Yun stared at Duan Chen's cold face and remained silent.Duan Chen seemed a little puzzled, he turned his head and asked, "Why haven't you left yet?"
"I'm waiting for you." Chongyun replied.He found that even though they hadn't seen each other for so many years, the two were still familiar with each other during the conversation. for many years.
Hearing this, Duan Chen's cold expression became slightly moved, but it was not obvious, he seemed to be examining Chongyun's face through a layer of bandages, but when he opened his mouth, his tone softened unconsciously: "What's the matter? "
Chongyun settled down and dared not look him in the eyes. He drooped his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Master, do you still remember that I gave you your life now, and now I threaten to repay your kindness, will you be willing, Master?"
At the end of the sentence, Duan Chen's face turned cold visibly, he tightly squeezed the rosary in his hand, and it took a long time before he let go: "You don't need to talk to me like this on purpose."
Chong Yun was startled, looked up and saw Duan Chen raised his hand to take off the bandage covering his eyes, a pair of dark eyes staring at him, those eyes were black and white, the sunlight fell on the back of the eyes, reflecting a Layers of bright gentle light.
Chongyun had imagined countless times what it would be like when these eyes looked at him, but none of them gave him a wordless shock like the one in front of him. This kind of shock could even be called gentle, as if under the endless sky , the breeze blew across the lotus pond, and ten miles of red lotus bloomed one after another.
Chongyun stared blankly at those eyes, unable to speak for a while.No one knows that the director of Wuxiang Temple who has been blindfolded to show others is not actually blind, and no one knows that these eyes once belonged to another person, and now this person is standing in front of Duan Chen.
Duan Chen stared at Chong Yun with dark eyes, and said coldly: "If you need these eyes, this life, you can take it. You need my help, not to mention those hurtful words, I will help."
Chongyun blinked, Xiuya's face turned slightly pale, he gritted his teeth, he couldn't tell whether it was vicious or angry: "Okay, then I want you to do me a favor."
. . . . . .
When Chongyun returned to the Gong Mansion, the door was opened before the door was knocked open. The butler and Qin Lanxiang's personal maid led a group of people to surround Chongyun. The butler saluted Chongyun half respectfully and half threateningly. : "Young Master Zhong, Madam welcomes you."
What should come can't always be avoided.Chongyun nodded helplessly, and followed them in.
He was brought to the lobby of the Gong family. At this time, the Gong family was covered in dark clouds and gloomy. The coffin containing Gong Yuebai's body was lying in the center of the lobby. Mrs. Gong was sitting on a high seat. With a deep hostility, she saw Chongyun walk in and gave him a hard look, but the only sliver of reason she had left prevented her from taking any more outrageous actions.
The rest of the young masters and young ladies of the Gong family sat down one by one, except for Gong Ruxue, they all gave Chongyun a fair look, neither were they saddened by Gong Yuebai's death, nor resented by Chongyun, the suspected murderer.
Chongyun bowed to Qin Lanxiang, his eyes never drifting away from the coffin: "Madam, do you need me?"
"Young Master Zhong, you are a distinguished guest of my Gong family. Originally, I didn't want to disturb you because of family affairs, but what happened in the mansion today is unusual, and it happened in your residence. I should let you know .”
It can be seen that Qin Lanxiang is very concerned about the accident that happened at this juncture before the Chonghua Banquet, and she even avoids speaking in various ways. The news of the accidental death of the young master of the Gong family comes from her mouth, which seems to be an ordinary thing up.
"It's natural. I just don't know, what is it that caused your mansion to mobilize so many teachers?" Chong Yun raised his eyebrows and pretended to be stupid. He didn't understand the mentality of this kind of attitude that puts face more important than life, but He wisely kept his mouth shut, and casually glanced at Gong Ruxue who was sitting quietly at the side, only to see that his brows were slightly furrowed, and his face was a bit ugly.
Qin Lanxiang's eyelids twitched, and he frowned and asked, "I heard people say that the young master went to Fengluzhai to look for you early in the morning, and there was a little quarrel?"
Chongyun nodded: "Yes, Young Master Gong heard that I was a friend of A Xue, so he clamored to come see me. I just got up at that time, and the young master broke in before the maid had time to report Ah Xue felt that this move was a little rude, and after saying a few words, the young master was quite upset."
Chongyun explained what happened in the morning in a few words, without embellishing it, but just summed up the content of the dispute.
Qin Lanxiang frowned when he heard what he said, thinking that he also knew what Gong Yuebai did on weekdays, so he believed Chongyun's words to a third.
Qin Lanxiang was silent for a while, and before she could speak again, Gong Yuemei, the second young lady of the Gong family, who was sitting beside her, said with a smirk: "Second mother, look at what you asked, you are not looking for opportunities to excuse people. Don’t you think, Erniang, that this unknown person in front of you has nothing to do with the death of the elder brother? Look at him just now, the body of the elder brother is still lying there, but he doesn’t seem to have seen it. The question is so obvious, and you still pretend to know nothing, why, do you really think you are innocent?"
Chongyun didn't take the words of guns and sticks to heart, but Gong Ruxue was a little annoyed: "Second sister, what do you mean by that? Chongyun is a guest, how can you say that."
"What do you mean by me?" Gong Yuemei's eyes slashed at Gong Ruxue like a knife, and she smiled contemptuously, "Gong Ruxue, if you hadn't brought some dubious people back from outside, how could the accident happen to my brother? Brother Now that the bones are not cold, you should worry about the affairs of outsiders first!"
"you……"
Sitting next to Gong Yuemei, Gong Yuefei, the sixth miss of the Gong family, tugged on Gong Yuemei's sleeve, and said in a low voice, "Second sister, don't be like this..."
"Shut up!" Qin Lanxiang sternly interrupted the dispute, and took a few breaths to suppress the anger in his heart, but because of Gong Yuemei's intervention, Qin Lanxiang no longer spoke in secretive ways like before.
She asked Chong Yun in a deep voice: "Young Master Chong, do you know about Yue Bai being killed in your residence this morning?"
Chong Yun said truthfully: "When I came here, I already heard about the murder of the young master."
"Then why did you pretend not to know just now? Even when I asked you, you didn't mention it?"
Chongyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he carefully found a wording: "Ma'am, avoiding danger is a human instinct. When I came here, I only knew that Young Master Gong was killed and that it was Axue who sent someone to notify me, but I didn't know that Mr. The young master died in my residence. I didn’t know until my wife mentioned me just now. I subconsciously wanted to remove the suspicion for myself. can speak."
Gong Yuemei sneered: "Who knows if you have ghosts in your heart to hide something."
The third young master of the Gong family, Gong Yuelin, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked, "Young Master Chong, can you show us your personal weapon, I want to use it to compare the wounds. Anyway, elder brother died in your residence, and Young Master Chong also I want to get rid of this suspicion quickly."
There was no question in asking this question, but there was a trap hidden in it. This trap made Chong Yun take out his weapon in full view.
Most monks in the cultivation world use swords, but there are still many differences between swords. Different swords cause different wounds on people, let alone different weapons.If Chongyun didn't know that Gong Yuebai died by the sword, after listening to Gong Yuelin's words, he would have already agreed in his heart that Gong Yuebai died by the sword in the eyes of outsiders, so he would not bring out the sword again in order to avoid increasing suspicion. And when he took out his weapon, he could be convicted immediately after comparing the wounds.
Chongyun took a deep look at Gong Yuelin, and sighed secretly that Gong Yuelin's thoughts were really meticulous, so he really had to use other weapons besides the sword, but Chongyun's personal weapon was only the Blood Moon Knife, which just happened to reach The murderer wanted to put the blame on his purpose.
Gong Ruxue, who was sitting on the side, seemed to want to say something, but was stared at by others, and there was nothing she could do.He shook his head at Chongyun, who blinked pretendingly puzzled.
Chong Yun said truthfully: "It turns out that Young Master Gong was killed by a sword, so I really have nothing to do with it. I don't use a sword."
He said something, and with a movement of his wrist, the bone chain worn on his wrist turned into a scimitar and appeared in his hand.
When everyone saw the black scimitar, they all gasped silently.
Qin Lanxiang's hand on the armrest of the chair trembled uncontrollably. She squeezed the armrest tightly to suppress the trembling, but she still felt a chill on her back. The scorching temperature made her a little unbearable, and her eyes were so red that she couldn't help it.
"Good! Very good!" Qin Lanxiang gritted her teeth, "Chongyun, my Gong family treats you like a distinguished guest, and that's how you treat us? What enmity does Yuebai have with you, you want to hurt him like this?!"
When the young masters and ladies of the Gong family saw Qin Lanxiang like this, they were immediately taken aback, except for Gong Ruxue, they all looked at Chongyun as if they were watching the show.
Without even thinking about it, Gong Ruxue stood up and pleaded for Chongyun: "Er Niang, there must be a misunderstanding! Chongyun has been with me this morning and has never left for a moment..."
When he said this, he seemed to have thought of something, his face paled suddenly, his words froze for a moment, and then he continued, "Besides, he and elder brother don't know each other at all, and there is no reason or opportunity to do this at all. Mother Mingcha!"
Gong Yuemei said with a faint smile: "Er Niang, look at what Axue is talking about? Generations of disciples of my Gong family all wield swords, but elder brother died by the sword. Besides, elder brother's cultivation level is not low. If a member of the Gong family What he did, how could a person who is not good at using a knife cut off the head of the elder brother so easily? Now that the elder brother died unfortunately, Ah Xue did not help the family but spoke for an outsider. "
There was no panic on Chongyun's face for a moment, as if he was not the center of the turmoil.With a glance, he saw Gong Ruxue's temples wet with cold sweat and her paler face than usual, he sighed softly in his heart, and said, "Ma'am, there is indeed a misunderstanding in this matter, I can explain clearly, as for the murderer's identity, I also have a guess in my mind."
Holding an umbrella, he walked to the embankment where the Jiangting Painting Boat was docked, and he had no intention of boarding the boat, but stood by the embankment for a while.
