Chapter 24: The Truth Is Hard to Find
Bu Xihuan was at the end of the road, not moving.
Twilight kidnapped Chen Youliang and stopped ten paces away.
The night wind swept westward, and the man's delicate mask fell frost white, and the burned sleeves shattered the moonlight, and fell to the treetops next to the path, like ten thousand trees and pear blossoms.
The moonlight shone obliquely, and the young man showed half of his face behind him, and he was also covered with frost and snow. The long shadow fell behind the stone path, and the night wind did not move, and it was as resolute as a stone.
The two looked at each other, with hostages and swords in between.
The silent contest finally broke through in the blood of the knife, and the blood line next to the hostage's neck slowly rose.
She did what she said, not as she was told, one inch at a time!
The blood was quite faint in the wind with the fragrance of grass leaves, but it cooled the man's eyes. He spoke, a little careless, "Just now you said that extracting footprints, is it really a thing?" ”
His own people were robbed and stabbed in the neck, but he asked irrelevantly, if he didn't care too much about who the murderer was, he was hard-hearted. After a while, he replied, "Yes." ”
When the words fell, the light of the knife slowly rose, and an inch was added.
The man saw the blood marks of the knife light, but he didn't seem to see it, and only asked, "It's not lime, what is it?" ”
"Plaster." The young man answered happily, and the knife cut happily.
The knife was three inches long, and the blood stained the flesh and skin, but the man's eyes only fell on the young man's face. After a while, a smile tugged at his lips, and his peerless elegance was stained with self-deprecation. Then I saw him retreat to the side of the path, sit under the tree, lazily support his chin, and look at the young man indifferently, "Let's go." ”
Two words, so light, are really unexpected.
The young man was not stunned, only his eyes swept over the man's hand with a supported chin, and half of his face avoided behind people, but he couldn't hide the star-like clarity in his eyes.
"Let's go!" She drank in a deep voice, pushed the hostage with stiff legs and feet in front of her, and the two of them walked out of the path, and their figures were obscured by the fog in a dozen steps.
Wei Zhuozhi walked under the tree, shook his fan and looked into the distance, smiled lightly, and was not surprised. Under the tree, Bu Xihuan sat cross-legged for a while, estimating that the person got up and brushed his sleeves when he got out of the Thorn Mansion, and went to the attic in the backyard of the Thorn Mansion. The fog gradually obscured his figure, and only a clear sound came from the wind.
"Look at it, don't let her really kill someone."
Wei Zhuozhi's smile grew, he looked up at the moon, and saw more than a dozen black shadows passing behind the treetops and stones under the moonlight, and they all went to the outside of the Assassin's Mansion.
It turned out that she had no chance of winning, but he let her go.
Bianhe City is located along the Bianjiang River, which runs through the north and south, and the tributaries are quite extensive, and the Qushui River is one of them.
The south of the Yangtze River is picturesque, and the river is also soft. The night is deeper, the mist is like a belt, and the river floats with a layer of fat and powder, and the wind sends Nong Song to the faint and quiet. The song was sent to the shore, covering the weeping willow trees on the shore with a cold voice, "My father was poisoned by you?" ”
The weeping willow branches are so dense that it is almost impossible to see people under the trees in the thick of the night, and the twilight has his back to the river, and the knife is pointed at Chen Youliang, who is tied to the tree.
Chen Youliang was tied to his belt, which was untied as a rope to tie him to the trunk of the tree, blood was dripping from his neck, and the wolf was embarrassed, and his face was ashamed, "Your father died from the glass of wine that the official gave him." ”
On the surface of the river, the candles are lit, and the willow branches are sprinkled with light yellow, and the back of the young man is swaying.
The candlelight was faint and the faces were blurred, but it was enough for Twilight.
The wind blew and broke the willow branches, and in the early summer of June, there was a sudden wind and snow. The wind and snow were hateful, as sharp as a knife, piercing the night and stabbing people's throats.
The sword light stopped half an inch in front of the person's throat, and he was devastating and forbearing.
For the first time in her life, Twilight complains about why she has to interpret people's hearts. If not, with this statement, the person has died in her hands, how can it be like this time, knowing that this person has poisoned his father, and he will stop to let him live a little longer?
What Chen Youliang said is true, but there is a hidden meaning in his words.
She asked her father if he poisoned him, and if so, he only replied yes, why did he say, "Your father died from the cup of poisoned wine given to him by the official"? Only when people are not upright in their hearts will they repeat the questions asked by the other party stiffly, as if they can win the trust of the other party and convince themselves by repeating it.
Chen Youliang's demeanor told her that what he said was true, but why did he answer so bluntly?
There is only one possibility, he is telling the truth, but the facts are not exhausted.
"My father died at your hands, but someone else ordered you to give him that cup of poisoned wine." The young man carried the knife, looked at the people, and said coldly, "Is that the dog emperor?" ”
She didn't need him to answer, as long as he looked at her, she knew if it was.
Chen Youliang's face was gloomy, his face was full of anger, and he startled the night with a broken shout, "Presumptuous!" ”
Twilight was slightly stunned, and after a moment, her eyes sneered, "If you die father, you will also be presumptuous." ”
Such a faint king must also be maintained, this person is really foolish and loyal!
"You!" Chen Youliang was stabbed by Du Qing's words, and only after a while did his anger fade away, and he sighed, "This official knows that you want to avenge your father, but that person's identity is not something you can provoke." ”
Twilight's eyes were cold, the identity of that person?
She obviously asked Emperor Yuanlong, why did Chen Youliang answer that person? According to common sense, he should have said that His Majesty's identity is not something you can provoke, but now he is saying that person, could it be that that person refers to someone else?
"Who is that person you are talking about?"
"Don't ask again. This official has already mistaken your father's life, and he doesn't want to mislead you again. Chen Youliang closed his eyes.
"Don't come to this set of pretenses!" Twilight suddenly drank, her eyes burning with anger, "If you feel guilty, why did my father abandon him with a straw mat in Yizhuang after he died?" If you feel guilty, why don't you send someone to Gushui County to report the funeral? If I hadn't come looking for my father, he would have been dragged to a mass grave in a few days to be buried! He has respected you for many years! ”
Many of the corpses in Yizhuang were nameless corpses, and the government would transport the unclaimed bones out of the city and bury them in mass graves every once in a while. As long as she thought that if she came a few days late, her father's bones would be buried in the wild, and if she couldn't find it again, she wanted to cut the fake face of this dog official with a knife!
"What?" When Chen Youliang heard this, he was surprised, "This official has sent three groups of people, and took the funeral letter and brought the funeral money to Gushui County to report the funeral!" How? Didn't you come to Bianhe City after seeing the funeral? ”
“……”
Twilight Qing was stunned, and Chen Youliang was also stunned. After a while, I didn't know what to think, and my face became very ugly.
"Ask you again, who is that person!" This matter seems to have a lot of inside information, but Twilight doesn't want to know, no matter how much inside information is worth the fact that her father was killed, she doesn't want to ask the inside story, she just wants to ask a person's name.
Chen Youliang's face was still cloudy, and when he heard her ask again, he still said the same sentence, "This official doesn't tell you, it's really for the sake of your life." ”
Hearing this, Twilight sneered, "It seems that there will be one more floating corpse in the Qushui River tonight." ”
The sword light was like electricity, and the layers of ice and snow shook Chen Youliang's eyes, and as soon as he closed his eyes, his heart said that he would die today. The coldness did not hit him for a long time, and there was a sharp golden sound in his ears, slender and piercing, he frowned and opened his eyes, only to see Twilight Qing looking up at the top of the tree, and the thin knife in his hand was tied to a silver thread in the light yellow light, as if it was being torn apart.
Chen Youliang was stunned for a moment, Twilight Qing had already snorted coldly, her arm was violently pulled, and her body retreated! The moment she withdrew from under the willow tree, she raised her hand and a handful of lime powder spilled into the air!
This lime powder was caught in her hand when she suddenly attacked in the Thorn Shi Mansion, just in case!
She knew that the man wouldn't let her go so easily. He said she knew when he let her go.
In the night sky, several black shadows subconsciously retreated because they had seen the power of the lime powder dark weapon.
But all I heard was a pop!
Twilight jumped into the Qushui River.
Off topic -
Yesterday the bun had a fever, I only slept for an hour a night, and I woke up in the morning to show the words.
Whether it's now or after V, I'm constantly changing, but I may not be able to schedule it, so I can only say sorry to everyone.

Science:
When answering a question, repetition bluntly is typical of lies.
Take, for example, the most common questions and answers between men and women.
"Do you love me?"
"Love."
"Do you love me?"
"I love you"
Which one sounds more comfortable? Apparently the previous answer sounded comfortable.
Only when people are not upright in their hearts will they repeat the questions asked by the other party stiffly, as if they can win the trust of the other party and convince themselves by repeating it.
