Chapter 697: The Promise Is a Puzzle
The door of Shujingzhai was pushed open, and nearly 100 people and horses in the lobby rose in unison, and the sound of the sword unsheathed made the shopkeeper Xiao Er, who was hiding on the side, frightened his legs weak, and hurriedly hugged his head under the counter.
"My own people, guys put it away. The visitor first turned around and looked behind him, and then made sure that no one was following, and then vigilantly closed the door and walked into the hall.
"Big boss. β
Among the 100 people and horses, only one person turned his back to the door, did not make any movement, heard the call, nodded slightly, and then put the wine glass on the table, and said, "Old Five, come and talk." β
"Yes. The man who had just entered the door arched his hands and hurried to the table.
"Tell me what's going on. β
The person who questioned was Ma Zongwei, the big boss of the Ma Ming Gang, this person was originally a small cell head in Tongzhou, with a body of kung fu, when he was forced to go to Huiji Mountain, it was indeed because of the darkness of officialdom, and most of the people in prison were burdened by unjust cases.
But human beings are such strange things, once they begin to get material satisfaction, they will undergo a qualitative change in their mood. Gradually, those white gold, silver and jewelry can no longer meet their needs, they want to get more and more, when the law of "only kill corrupt officials, do not rob civilians" is broken, the torrent of desire will be out of control, let them go further and further on the road of morality, until there is no return.
The one who was called the fifth was not the fifth in the gang, just because he was a snitch wanted by the imperial court before he went up the mountain, and he made a light achievement, but he was finally planted in the hands of officers and soldiers, and his five fingers were cut off, leaving only one hand, so everyone called him the fifth child.
"According to the instructions of the big boss, after the people of Liquan Villa went out of the city, I held on for a while, and sure enough, I found that the remaining three teams of people and horses followed them out of the city, those people were also smart, knowing that Liquan Villa was not easy to mess with, and they didn't dare to follow too closely, but after a while out of the city, a team of people suddenly appeared from behind, and their martial arts were extremely high, and they killed the dozens of people almost instantly, and even the people in front of them had ended the battle without being alarmed, and then turned around, and I waited in the grass for a long time before I dared to come out. β
"Oh, can you see who they are?" The forces gathered in this Jianzhou City are by no means the role of the three sects and nine streams, that team of people and horses can kill so many people in an instant, it must be not small, Ma Zongwei stared at the fifth child after asking, but the fifth person scratched his head and scratched his ears for a long time with a strange face, and then he said: "No...... I don't know. β
Ma Zongwei's face changed, and he was obviously displeased.
The bright moon hangs high tonight, although the fifth child has wasted a hand, but the kung fu and eyes on his legs are still excellent, he watched those people kill people, and now he replied that he didn't know who it was, and no one would believe it.
Ma Zongwei drank a glass of wine with a gloomy face, and then slammed the cup on the table, the fifth child was frightened, knelt on the ground with weak legs, and bowed down and said: "The big boss's life, I said I don't know it's not that I didn't see it clearly, it's just that those people have extremely raw faces, black clothes and black horses, and their movements are clean and neat without pausing, and they turn around and leave after killing people, I really ...... I don't know who they are. β
Ma Zongwei looked fierce at this time, frowned, and said, "The face is extremely raw?"
Liquan Villa is the power of Leng Gongzi, since those people follow him to help him clear up the hostility, they must have an inseparable relationship with him, although the anti-Jin forces up and down the Great Jin Dynasty are huge, it is impossible to say that they don't know each other at all, the fifth child has been in the Ma Ming Gang for no less than ten years, and he has rich experience, even he doesn't know...... Who are those?
"Black clothes and black horses? As soon as the voice of one person next to him fell, he was glared back by the old five viciously: "Lao Tzu said that I don't know, Wu Jingang, the leader of the Xiaoqi, don't I know, I want you to chew your tongue here." β
The man stuck out his tongue and retracted his neck, not daring to make any more noise. Ma Zongwei thought for a while, and then said, "Have they returned to this Jianzhou City?"
"It was in the direction of returning to the city, I didn't dare to come out for a while after they left, and after going to see it, I found that it was the people of Jinbei Whirlwind Hall, Yancheng Baimuzhuang and Zhaohe Tongjiabao who died, including Xiao Changtian, the second leader of Tongjiabao, a total of more than 30 people, all of whom were killed with a knife, and the technique was very skillful. β
Ma Zongwei gasped and fell silent.
This Leng Gongzi is really not to be underestimated, he is not very old, and he is frail and sick all the year round, but he is very good at kung fu, I don't know how many lives a golden wire takes, and the power in his hands is extremely huge, not to mention the people in the north, Huo Xiyang in western Sichuan, Yunhe Zuoyu, Cangtian Meng Guanggu's strength is very good, not to mention Yu Fengyang of Liquan Villa, if it weren't for the news that he lost his heart because of an unbearable relationship with this little marquis of the Great Jin Dynasty, his body was not as good as before, and he and others did not dare to come to this place heavily guarded by the imperial court in a desperate way, wanting to seize the position of the first position of the anti-Jin forces in his handsγ
Due to the war in Nagano White Mountain, the people fleeing are constantly in a stream, this Jianzhou City does not close the city gate day and night, and does not set up defense cards, which greatly facilitates the gathering of various forces, but after all, this is under the jurisdiction of the military camp, if it is not a last resort, no one dares to blatantly find the whereabouts of Leng Gongzi, and the major forces are also competing with each other, all of them want to find him before others, accuse him, in order to coerce the forces in his hands to submit, but now it seems that this idea is too naΓ―ve, because they have to face not a mediocre person who can be a person, but a famous Leng Gongzi, if anyone despises him, there is only a dead endγ
"Big boss, what should I do?" didn't even see the shadow of Leng Gongzi, there were already three teams of people who gave their lives, and the rest didn't even know who the opponent was, it should have been the action of various forces uniting to encircle and suppress that person, but at this moment, it was transformed, and it became that person invisibly controlling a qiΔ, and he could take people's lives at any time, how could he not make people frightened and uneasy.
"Howl fart, this Jianzhou City is not just one of us, and wait first, see how others are, let's not do it first as a last resort, if our lives are gone, what will we do to enjoy the glory and wealth." Ma Zongwei gritted his teeth and roared, spat hatefully, and then waved his hand extremely impatiently, and said, "Damn Lao Tzu to the side, it's annoying to look at it." After he finished speaking, he lowered his head to drink the stuffy wine, and no one else dared to make a sound, they all retreated quietly, and the whole Shujingzhai gradually returned to a tranquility.
"Why hasn't Childe slept yet?" Gong and Yun Lan boiled the medicine and sent it to Xi Hao and the lingering house, after turning around, he thought that Xian Yi was not there, and Childe had no one to take care of him at night, so after talking to Yun Lan, he went to the east courtyard alone, and just entered the door and saw that the candle flame was still lit in the flawless room, he walked lightly to the door and pushed it open, and saw that Flawless was still sitting at the table in a daze, and did not sleep.
"After sleeping in the afternoon, I still feel sleepy. Seeing him enter the door, Flawless only gestured his head slightly, then withdrew his eyes and continued to be in a daze.
Gong looked funny, walked to the table and sat down, picked up the teapot that was hot on the small stove, poured a cup of hot tea and put it in front of him: "Childe has something on his mind." β
Flawless's heart moved, and he gradually lowered his eyes, lowered his hand from his cheek, and stroked it towards the mouth of the cup.
Slender fingertips slid over the rim of the cup, and Flawless did not answer the bow's words, but slowly clasped his hand on the surface of the cup. The heat overflowed from his fingers and scattered in all directions, Gong was startled when he saw this, reached out and grabbed his flawless fingers and pulled them aside, feeling the unusual heat of his palm, he couldn't help but be anxious, and said: "Childe, what are you doing, this water is hot, and the heat will hurt your hands." After he finished speaking, he got up and went to look for the medicine box that Xianyi had told him, but Flawless just lowered his head to look at his palm, and then said softly: "People always hurt themselves, sometimes they know that it will be like this, but they still can't help but do it, for so many years, there are so many brothers who have followed me from birth to death, they are like my hands and feet, the lines of my palms, clear and clear, I remember everything they paid for me, and I never dared to forget, but ......" The fingertips were tightly clasped, and he gripped back with all his strength, feeling the pain coming from his palm, Flawless frowned, and continued: "But one day, I will be so tired that I can no longer hold them, and when I opened my hands, I found that the palm was already drenched in blood, and it was miserable. Bow, maybe it's time for me to let go. β
Gong stood in front of the cabinet and was stunned, even if he didn't look back, he could feel Childe's depression at the moment, he knew how bad Childe's current physical condition was, even if Childe Xi Hao promised that he would never let Childe have anything to do, but if he was allowed to rely on acupuncture and large doses of medicine to maintain his life for the rest of his life, it might be more uncomfortable for him than death. But because he has people who are reluctant, he will choose to hold on, but it is not a day or two, a year or two, but countless days and nights, no matter how strong his will is, there will eventually be a moment of collapse in the accumulation of days.
"No matter what decision Childe makes or what path he takes, I will summon the bow to follow you and never look back. The bow took out the brocade box from the cabinet, turned back to the table, opened it and took out a box of ointment, pulled the flawless hand and gently applied it: "From the moment Childe took me away with Xianyi in that broken temple, the life I summoned the bow belonged to Childe, no matter what happens, I will be by Childe's side, never give up, and never regret it." β
Flawless blinked slightly, then looked up at the man who was always silent and followed him, and smiled.
Twelve years ago, three ten-year-old children met in a broken temple in the suburbs, came together because of a delicate fate, and then stumbled all the way to support each other and ran on the road of revenge, fell, cried, but never admitted, and now, they have all grown up, with emotional bonds, troubles and struggles, but the friendship between them has never changed!
