Chapter 555: Transporting Heroes Is Not Free
Midnight was approaching, and just as Wei Jing was about to board the private boat that escaped from the setting sun, the back collar was grabbed, and then he was thrown back to the dock.
When he looked up, he saw a figure that had become a nightmare of fear in his heart.
Chu Xuanzhao, who was covered in blood, and a cold woman he had never seen before.
The man who was as white as snow slowly drew the long sword at his waist, and the smile on his face was as cold and hideous as ever.
The woman's condescending and indifferent eyes seemed to be looking at a dying person.
Wei Jing's face was paralyzed to the ground like ashes, Chu Xianzhao smiled silently and approached step by step, and the sound of the sword blade dragging the ground was terrifying.
Then, he raised his leg and kicked over the private boat he had used to escape for his life, and the icy water splashed on Wei Jing's face, making him look like he was crying.
Chu Xianzhao slapped the sword on his face as hard as he did last time, and now both sides of his face were aligned.
Jiang Tang leaned against a pillar and closed her eyes, as if everything that happened next had nothing to do with her.
Wei Jing, who felt that there was still a place for redemption, knelt on his knees, knocked his head hard a few times at Chu Xianzhao's feet, his face was covered with blood, and his voice was hoarse: "I beg for mercy, I am cheap, I shouldn't deal with you...... But since you are not Shen Sanqian's son, what's the point of you doing this? It's the people of the Zhao family who really want to deal with you, I'm just a dog for them, I'm just a dog!"
"Zhao family, although I know that some people in the Zhao family don't like me, but in the face of my master is Qing'an Dragon Immortal, they haven't done anything to me for the time being, and I won't tear my face with them so quickly, as for you, and those wolves you found. ”
Chu Xuanzhao showed a terrifying smile that had never appeared in the past, and the Chengying in his hand turned out a beautiful sword flower.
"Even the Filthy Wolf Crowd is dead?! No, how many people have you killed tonight, you monster!"
Wei Jing seemed to have heard a big joke, and looked at this white-haired man who had reined in the sharp momentum of the past, but could accumulate thick hair at any time.
"I am a monster, you are also a monster, and monsters and monsters should understand each other. ”
Chu Xianzhao withdrew the long sword, sat cross-legged in front of him, stared at his face that was already bleeding, and said softly: "You should die now, and the reason why I didn't kill you directly from behind with a sword just now, just wanted to ask some secrets from your mouth, you should help me, and I will also settle your family after you die, and will not let them become slaves or prostitutes, this is a good deal, can you do it?"
Wei Jing looked at him with sad eyes, and Chu Xianzhao also closed his eyes to recuperate, neither urging nor mocking.
Wei Jing turned around and looked around, the Qinhuai River was still sparkling and graceful, once he didn't know how many corpses of enemies he left on this river, he didn't expect that he would also be buried here one day, as if washing away his past sins, so that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and finally could only sigh, turned his head to look at the young man who closed his eyes and opened his eyes, and said helplessly: "I have to die......?"
Chu Xianzhao said softly: "Since you said this, you have betrayed the Zhao family, do you think I will still believe you?"
"I really responded to the joke that the back waves of the Yangtze River pushed the front waves, and the front waves died on the beach, but I never thought that you would be pushed to death by the back waves. ”
Wei Jing's eyes were so resentful that he didn't wipe away the blood from his face.
After tonight, he should have sat in the position of the president of the comptoir, and he should have had the opportunity to stand straight in front of Empress Zhao, and he no longer needed to kneel at her feet like a minion.
encountered a situation of ups and downs in an instant, and no one would be willing to feel this way, so he could only stare at the man in front of him with extreme resentment, like an old dog who was forced into a corner by him, unable to do anything but grit his teeth.
"Then what do you want, let's say a number, the nobles behind me are willing to cooperate with you, if you force us, none of us will end well!"
Wei Jing put away his pitiful appearance and tried his best to raise his head in front of Chu Xuanzhao.
"Sister Jiang Tang, I heard that your crow Qiwei's flesh-stripping and cramping punishment is terrible, let me see it, okay?"
Jiang Tang took out the chain knife on his waist, and while using the knife to make various complex and wonderful knife flower demonstrations in mid-air, he approached Wei Jing who was lying on the edge of the dock.
Wei Jing was frightened by her actions, and said hoarsely: "-I recruited, I recruited all...... Don't be like that. ”
Jiang Tang didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and after a burst of knife light, the flesh on Wei Jing's thigh rose like an angry rose, and then fell to the ground like a bird's feather.
The sudden pain caused him to let out a terrible roar, the pain exploding in his mind, the green tendons on his neck bulging like a wild snake, and his face contorted like a demon.
Chu Xianzhao stretched out his five fingers and pressed them on his head, and said softly: "For a villain like you, I don't need to be polite, anyway, you must die tonight, how about feeling the most terrible punishment in the world before you die, you must know that only the living can feel the pain, and the dead can't feel anything, you should thank us for our kindness to you." ”
"Count you ruthless!"
Wei Jing collapsed on the ground and vomited, laughing wildly while vomiting, choking with laughter.
"It's pathetic. ”
Chu Xianzhao sat beside him again, and there was no sadness in his voice.
Wei Jing said in a difficult voice: "Do you have cigarettes on you?"
"Jiang Tang, do you have that cigarette gun with you?" Chu Xianzhao asked, turning his head.
The woman lit the cigarette gun and handed it to Chu Xianzhao, and then he stuffed it into Wei Jing's mouth.
This smoking gun, which only the squire could afford in Wei Jing's memory when he was a child, was inhaled and swallowed by him at this time, and the smell of smoke spread in his lungs, like warm water slowly submerging him, and the rest of his life was like smoke scattered in the wind one by one.
"Since you are not Shen Sanqian's son, then you tell me who you are, and I will have this last question. ”
Chu Xianzhao laughed at himself, reached out and pinched the corner of his chin, and tore off the entire rooting dough, revealing the unusually handsome man's face.
He said word by word: "My surname is Chu, Chu of Chu Xiaohua." ”
Wei Jing showed a look of sudden realization.
Chu Xiaohua's Chu, this is his true identity.
There are not many people who can admire Wei Jing, there are Chu Xiaohua, the Yinhuang who stepped on the west to the imperial golden horde, and the first in the world to the west of the sword god Guan Changye, not to mention the two true Yin sons Chu Xuanzhao.
Since the battle of Concubine Pass, he has appreciated the power of this prince of Yinguo from the mouths of various characters, and he was shocked and frightened by his feat of daring to conquer and slay the dragon in person, under the full strength of the usurper Tantai Ninghua and the strength of the Qingguo dragoon, in the face of such a disparity in numbers, this reckless young man who doesn't seem to understand what the son of a daughter does not sit in the hall is, he actually took the few remaining remnants of the army and killed him directly, and insisted until Chu Xiaohua's reinforcements arrived.
With this son Huaizhu, it is no wonder that Chu Xiaohua is determined to annex Nanlu.
The prince of Yinguo, who should never have anything to do with him in his life, sat in front of him at this time and gave him the last puff of cigarette.
Wei Jing laughed out loud for the first time, there was no longer sinister and scheming in his smile, and Chu Xianzhao did not forget to stretch out his hand and help him stabilize the smoking gun.
Wei Jing endured the sharp pain of scraping the bones and cutting the flesh, as if he was finally convinced, and reluctantly smiled: "Those things you want to know, those account books...... I hid them all under the fifth green brick in front of the third house in the east courtyard of the mansion, and when you pry open the brick, you can find what you want to know. ”
"After you kill me, Empress Zhao will definitely talk to you, I am a country boy from a poor background, and this cheap woman with dog eyes and low eyes once gave me some help, and finally turned me into a pawn under her feet, she is the most power-loving woman I have seen so many women, people like her will not be willing to draw a prison in Sunset City, she is brewing a big conspiracy......"
"What conspiracy?"
"This will have to wait for you to find out for yourself, but since you are the legendary all-powerful prince of Yinguo, I think it will not be difficult for you to defeat her, no matter what purpose you are cooperating with Shen Sanqian, if you have the opportunity, you must turn the woman Queen Zhao into your crotch slave, like Queen Zhao, who thinks that she is a dragon clan and is fucking above everyone, make her belly bigger and then pat her ass and leave to relieve her anger!"
Wei Jing's voice was filled with chilling madness, and blood foam kept spurting out of his mouth.
Although Wei Jing's last words were absurd, Chu Xianzhao still caught some key clues, and he said in disbelief: "Empress Zhao...... I see. ”
Wei Jing restrained his hideous expression and said with a wry smile: "It seems that you have figured out a lot of things, but I still have some last words to say, these words have not been found by the right person to say, and maybe no one wants to listen to these boring stories, these stories have always been hidden in my heart, I don't want to bring them into the soil." ”
"Tell me, it's still a long time tonight anyway. "Chu Xianzhao has always been very tolerant of the loser.
Wei Jing took a small sip and smoked the cigarette gun that was held steady by Chu Xianzhao, his eyes were in a trance, as if the past came to his eye for a while, maybe it was really in response to the sentence that people are dying.
He said softly: "I'm not like you and Queen Zhao who were born princes and nobles, I was born without a mother, my father was ten years old before a butt of gambling debts, was blocked at the door of the house and beaten to death with a stick, no one in the village is willing to pay for my father's burial, except for a widow who is willing to pay, she is a kind woman, when I left the village to go to Luoyang to make a living, I also cried and said that when I have money, I must take her to Luoyang to live a good life." Later, when I entered the Shen family firm and made some money and planned to go back to pick her up and go to Luoyang to live a good life, I learned from a few fellow villagers that she was raped by several hooligans in the village, and hanged herself the next day. ”
Wei Jing shook his head helplessly and said: " Maybe I was poor and afraid when I was a child, maybe I felt that people were good and were bullied, after I killed those people, I blocked the mouth of the local yamen with money and silver, and escaped the punishment of the law on me, at that time I knew that money is so easy to use, only money no matter how much evil can be escaped, for money how much bullying men and women can be done, and I did not regret doing such a thing, I still remember the sniping of Longqing Commercial Bank, which is the biggest feat I have ever done in my life, so that all the goods from Longqing Commercial Bank have depreciated sharply, and even those stewards and workers have all jumped to the Shen family commercial bank, as for the president of Longqing Commercial Bank, I was angry and fainted by my actions, his eldest wife scolded me for not dying well, and I died of illness first. And his three little wives also followed me home as my playthings, and then I never saw him again, until one time when I just got off the carriage in Tiannuju, I saw a lame old man begging on the side of the road, that is, the president of Longqing Commercial Bank who once claimed to be on an equal footing with the Shen family firm, I took a few of his little wives out to play, and he didn't dare to look at us, how pitiful. Over the years, I have done everything for money, because I have gone too high, and I can only keep going up, because once I fall, I will be crushed, and now I am finally retribution. ”
Chu Xuanzhao's voice didn't have any waves: "Are you finished?"
"That's it. ”
A silver light flashed from Wei Jing's throat, and before the blood was about to gush out, Chu Xianzhao took out the extinguished cigarette gun from his mouth, slowly stuffed it into his mouth, and spit out a puff of white smoke as thick as mist, his face was as hard as if it was made of pig iron.
Wei Jing whispered something, turned over and rolled into the Qinhuai River, and a thick burst of blood smoke rose from the river.
When Chu Xianzhao wanted to take a second puff of cigarette, the cigarette pouch went out.
Wei Jing's last words were diametrically opposed to the words that Shen Sanqian encouraged him before he left Guhe City for Sunset.
Shipped heroes are not free.
Jiang Tang, who also heard this, asked softly: "It's all solved." ”
Chu Xianzhao, who had put on the rooting skin again, nodded lightly and said, "It's over, the damned are also dead, I hope those who should be alive are still alive." ”
"Then ...... you next?"
Chu Xianzhao was silent for a moment, holding the cigarette gun that had long been extinguished, and said softly: "Since it's over, then it's time for me to go home." ”
"Do you want me to come with you?"
Chu Xuanzhao decisively refused: "I'll just go back alone, now is not the time for you to appear, after I finish the end, you and the people of Crow Qiwei don't need to hide in Sunset City, I will arrange for you to settle down in the trading house, and it can be regarded as everyone sending people together." ”
Jiang Tang looked at him without saying anything, and let him pass by himself.
Then there was a tingling sensation on his buttocks, and Jiang Tang suddenly froze, looking incredulous and at a loss.
When she turned around angrily, there was still the figure of the little rascal.
She stared at the moonlit Sunset City in amazement, for the first time since the death of the country in the west, she felt that she had someone to call a companion.
"Little bastard!"
She looked up to the sky and laughed, even laughing with tears in her eyes.
Under the night sky, there was a white-haired man with a sword box hanging from his waist and a pair of swords, walking on the official road with a big smoking gun in his mouth.
He waved his hand that was light on Jiang Tang's plump part somewhere, and hummed a Xilin song that he had heard Su Changyan sing before.
"Whose son doesn't love the lady in red, whose little lady doesn't love the lady in the green shirt. ”
——
Shen family manor, mourning hall.
The eldest lady who uprooted Wei Jing's industry by thunderous means was sitting here at this time, and she had just learned that there was a terrible bloody case on Silk Street, nearly a thousand people died on this street, and Jin Yiwei had already blocked the scene and was investigating this vicious bloody case, but Chu Xuanzhao had not returned for a long time, and in a hurry, she sent all the Shen family slaves to find his whereabouts, and until now no one had come back to tell her any specific news about him, so anxious that her tears were about to fall.
Until someone sent a cup of soaked sunset spring buds, she took the tea cup but fell hard in front of Shen Sanqian's spirit card, she had long been resentful of her husband, she suddenly got up, pointed to the three words on the spirit card, and scolded angrily: "Shen Sanqian, if he can't come back alive tonight, I will smash your spirit card with my own hands......! Even if he is not biological, he is also a family member...... Otherwise, what's the use of you!"
These words frightened the maid who delivered the tea to tremble, and she didn't even dare to clean up the broken porcelain, and carefully retreated, leaving the angry Shen family's housewife.
Until footsteps sounded.
I saw a man as white as frost appear outside the mourning hall, and a light rain began to fall in the sky.
He walked back to the Shen Mansion from the dock all the way to the Shen Mansion step by step, the happiness in his heart was like a dragon raising his head and it was difficult to suppress, and he didn't know how many bloody footprints he left along the way.
Before entering the mourning hall, he didn't forget to take off his shoes, walked barefoot to Shen Sanqian's spirit card, did not kneel and kowtow, just took out three incense sticks and lit them, and then respectfully inserted them into the incense burner.
Chu Xuanzhao was not in a hurry and turned to face the woman who was crying, stared at the three words on the spirit card, and said softly: "Auntie, it's all over." ”
This sentence undoubtedly gave the woman a reassurance, if Chu instantly summoned Wei Jingying to death after tonight, even if it set off a bloody storm in Luoyang City, she would have to play with that white-eyed wolf.
"What about Wei Jing?"
Chu Xianzhao continued: "In the Qinhuai River, if the eldest lady wants to whip the corpse, I'm afraid it will be difficult to catch it. ”
Without waiting for the woman to ask in shock, Chu Xianzhao pulled a chair from the corner of the mourning hall, sat in front of her and looked around with the corner of his eye, and then said softly: "Who is the person behind Wei Jing...... Empress Zhao!"
Chu Xianzhao's expression was calm, and he couldn't even say joy and sorrow, and said: " Wei Jing confessed a lot of things before he died, he said that if he would be reincarnated as a human in the next life, he would definitely come to the Shen family to be a cow and a horse to pay off the debts of the previous life, and he would never live so much inside and outside again, in fact, the eldest lady, you knew that there were ghosts in the business house early on, but you still ignored them, just give them a chance to converge and live, but the eldest mother should know that once some things start, there is no way to turn back, and it can't stop until the moment of death, and it is not strange to dare to do something to bully you, Wei Jing is a pitiful and hateful villain, but in the end, he is also a person who is dying and his words are good, and he has done something worthy of us, and it's not who owes whom. ”
The eldest lady pursed her lips and shook her head: "No one bullies the eldest lady, they are all bullying you, so I am very unhappy." ”
Chu Xianzhao shook his head,
The woman put on a straight face and said, "Auntie is fine, as long as you can live well, there will be hope for the life of our family." ”
Chu Xianzhao smiled lightly, and the solemn atmosphere in the mourning hall seemed to be swept away with his words, and said, "I'm really happy that my aunt can think like this." ”
The woman asked softly, "I didn't help you this time, but asked you to solve this matter, and you will resent me very much in your heart?"
Chu Xianzhao said without hesitation: "Don't dare and can't." ”
The eldest lady didn't expect him to say his heart so directly, and she didn't know how to say the big truths that she hid in her mouth for a while.
She nodded and said: "No matter what your heart thinks, since you dare to take Wei Jing's hard bone, you can be regarded as passing my test for you, businessmen are profitable, so our family has always been the winner is the king, from now on, you are the real head of the Shen family, and when this turmoil subsides, I will officially hold a banquet in Luoyang and tell the entire Nanlu business community that you have been born." ”
Chu Xianzhao's heart jumped, the fists hanging on the sides of his thighs clenched suddenly, trying his best to maintain the peace in his heart, and bowed heavily to the woman: "Tang Huang thanked the eldest lady." ”
The eldest lady stared at the spirit card that seemed to be getting brighter and brighter under the light of the candlelight, and solemnly promised: "The Shen family firm is yours, as for the future firm, the fate of the Shen family has nothing to do with me, you are the one chosen by the master, we all believe in you, I believe that with you in our family will get better and better, and you must also believe in yourself." ”
"I understand my aunt's decision. ”
Chu Xianzhao said in a deep voice: "Since the road has come to this point, there is no reason to go back, since I already know who the next person is going to deal with, then I will never let anyone hurt our Shen family, and I hope that the eldest lady can rest assured." ”
The eldest lady waved her hand, looked at the rain curtain outside the window, and hummed, and stopped talking.
The two of them quietly looked at the spirit card for a while, and then the woman got up and left.
Before leaving, she inevitably asked worriedly: "I really want to follow in the footsteps of Shen Sanqian with them, they are dragons, dragons cannot be defeated, and anyone who is against them will be burned to ashes by them." ”
Chu Xianzhao's eyes were resolute and said: "But don't forget, even a true dragon can't escape death, the battle of Concubine Pass Yin Kingdom has proved all this to the whole world, the bones of the dragon...... For the first time, he was trampled under the iron hooves of cavalry!"
The woman couldn't help but laugh and said, "You really look like the son of the Yin Kingdom when you say this." ”
Chu Xianzhao smiled and said, "What if I am?"
The eldest lady smiled without saying a word, stretched out her hand tremblingly, put it on his white hair, and moved softly: "You have come all the way...... It must be bitter. ”
Chu Xianzhao pursed his lips tightly, without shaking his head or nodding.
