Chapter 37: The Phantom Scale Sword
Stepping into the threshold, the small courtyard is still desolate. Coming here again inevitably made Chen Yichen sigh for a while. Unexpectedly, an old man became the only person who cared about himself, although his money was defrauded by him.
"Come on, I'll be waiting for you. The old man found Chen Yichen's arrival and beckoned from afar.
"This should be the most hearty meal I've had since I met you. Chen Yichen looked at the dishes that had already been placed on the ground and frowned. It's really greasy to eat in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion these days, and now I want to eat something light.
"This meal has cost all the coffin book called Hua. The old man sat on the ground, tore off a chicken leg, and said, "Knowing that the prison cells in Jingzhao Mansion are well fed, hehe, I specially prepared this for you." ”
Chen Yichen shook his head and smiled bitterly, but still took the bowl in his hand, looking at the various foods mixed together, he really had some appetite.
"By the way, seniors, I've known each other for so long, and the juniors don't know how to call the seniors?"
"Ask me by name? No one asked me for so long that I almost forgot myself. ”
Hearing him say this, Chen Yichen thought that he didn't want to tell himself, but he took a sip of wine and said slowly: "The surname is Fei, and the single name is a martial arts martial artist." ”
"Oh, it turns out that the senior's name is Fei Wu. Chen Yichen's facial expression gradually stiffened, and he said, "What a good name." Poof......"
"What's wrong?"
Chen Yichen felt a chill, gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay, I ate too fast, I choked." ”
Fei Wu took a bowl of water and said word by word: "Then eat slowly and drink some water." ”
"Thank you, Senior Fei. ”
"Tell me, what's going on between you and the third prince?"
"It's a long story. ”
Fei Wu picked up the wine jar and poured a bowl of wine, brought it to Chen Yichen, and said, "Then make a long story short." ”
After the snow, the continuous white snow decorates Kyoto, with jade branches and leaves, and pink jade masonry. The place that has not been stepped on is like a carpet, and it is like a piece of silver sand, reflecting the brilliance of the bright moon.
An old man and a young man, two of them sat on the ground. I ate it from noon to the moon. A few figures rushed up and down on the eaves, and in the blink of an eye, they landed in the abandoned courtyard.
Wrapped in silver, the moon is empty. Kyoto is like daylight. It is said that the moon is dark and kills the night, and the wind is high and the day is on fire. Tonight is indeed not a good day for murder and arson. There is just such a group of people who are willing to take the Heavenly Dao as their enemy.
The fire in the house clearly reflected the backs of the two on the window, and the sound of wine bowls colliding from time to time, as well as the nonsense of the two people, made the people in the courtyard disagree.
"Hmph, I don't know it's time to die. Drink it, the more you drink, the better, and only if you drink too much will you not feel pain. A sneer flashed at the corner of the mouth of the person at the head of the courtyard, raised his hand and waved it lightly, and walked slowly under his feet.
The sound of "creaking" footsteps poured into Chen Yichen's ears, and even he wondered when his hearing had become so sensitive.
"Fei senior, drink. Chen Yichen seemed to deliberately raise his voice, more like saying it to people outside, his hand quietly pulled out the short sword, lowered his voice and said: "Senior Fei, I'm afraid there will be danger for a while, the juniors are entangled with them, you take advantage of the chaos to escape." ”
"Haha, such a good wine, of course you have to drink it. Fei Wu's eyes were fixed on the wine in the bowl, and he said loudly: "Boy, you can drink it boldly and boldly, I can take care of it." ”
"Senior Fei, I'm not joking with you. There's a good chance someone out there is going to kill me. After going through so much, Chen Yichen is no longer the stupid boy who didn't understand anything, and when he heard the footsteps, he had already guessed the roughly.
"Boy, you've drunk too much, and the wine is unstable, haha. Fei Wu's words seemed to be laughing at Chen Yichen, and it was more like saying it to people outside the door.
"I can still cope with a few bowls of wine, even if someone comes to kill me now, I'm afraid it's not so easy. Chen Yichen's hand clenched the short sword, and sweat flowed out of his anxious head. looked at Fei Wu's envoy vigorously, but he turned a blind eye and heard it.
The leader in the courtyard saw that there were only two people in the house, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, I don't know if he was to his companion or the two people in the house, but he only heard him say: "King Luoping has an order to kill Chen Yichen." ”
"Damn, it's endless. Chen Yichen suddenly roared, the anger in his eyes seemed to erupt, he stared at the door, and said angrily: "I was the third prince before, and now I am the king of Luoping, isn't this a person." ”
The people outside the door were obviously taken aback, and they were still wondering why this person was so angry.
"Why don't you use Xiao Mingxu to scare the master, and if you have the ability, you can tell the real mastermind behind the scenes. Chen Yichen was completely angry, and the mastermind behind the scenes was too shameless, every time under the guise of Xiao Mingxu, it was clear that he was deliberately planting blame.
"When death is about to happen, you are still so angry, do it. The person who came was not ambiguous, as if he didn't want to entangle with Chen Yichen, so he raised his hand and motioned to the person behind him to do it.
Chen Yichen on the other side was still angry just now, and he became dumbfounded in the blink of an eye. His eyes looked like they were about to fall to the ground, and his face was full of disbelief.
"Hmph, what, now it's harmful... Fear... Finish. ”
The leader saw that Chen Yichen's expression changed so quickly, and his face showed a smug look. The ridicule on his lips was not finished, but he felt a sharp pain in his heart. The whole person was like a deflated ball, slowly bowing his head. The sharp sword piercing his chest was stained with blood, the muscles on his face were constantly twitching, and with the last of his strength, he spit out a few words: "Humble... Humble... Mean. ”
Until he died, he didn't know where the sword came from or who the owner of the sword was.
"Despicable?" Chen Yichen strode forward, dragged the dead body on the ground, raised his hand and punched him in the face, and said angrily: "Who is despicable, sneaking in the middle of the night to kill me, who do you say is despicable." Kill me, I don't dare to say who sent you, who you say is despicable. ”
"He's dead. ”
Chen Yichen's actions couldn't even look at the person who killed him, his face was dented by the fist, and it was impossible to see his appearance clearly.
"I'm. Chen Yichen gasped for breath in his mouth, stood up from the ground, wiped the blood on his fist, looked at the person standing opposite, and said, "Why are you here, what are you doing here?
This person, Chen Yichen, had seen him a few times and knew that he was a subordinate of Wang Liang of Jingzhao Mansion. If memory serves, this person should be called Ding Qi. At the same time, he also knew that it was impossible for Wang Liang to let himself go and send someone to kill him. Not to mention seeing this man die by his sword.
"My lord expected that if you left Jingzhao Mansion alive, someone would definitely want your life, so let us protect you secretly. Ding Qi wiped the blood on the sword and inserted the sword back into the scabbard.
"What are they going to do?" Chen Yichen stared at the remaining four, each with a sharp sword falling from their necks. continued: "Protect me, I'm afraid that adults will use me as bait." ”
"Bring it back to Jingzhao Mansion for interrogation. ”
As early as the first time they heard about Jingzhao Mansion, the faces of the four people who were captured were already showing horror. When he heard that he was going to be brought back for interrogation, his face suddenly turned like ashes.
"They're going to die. Fei Wu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.
The sudden words behind him really startled Chen Yichen. Turning his head to look, Fei Wu looked in his direction with a drunken expression. Dark Dao: It seems that he is really drunk, and now he has reacted, but he is worthy of his name, waste.
"Then bring... Let's go back. When Chen Yichen turned his head again, the four people who were captured showed bitter faces, and a stream of blood oozed from the corners of their mouths, and with the words he had just fallen, they immediately fell to the ground.
"Oops. Ding Qi shouted, it was too late to stop it. Looking at the person who fell to the ground, he slowly squatted down. He pinched the jaw of one of them, pried his mouth open, examined it carefully, and said, "It's late, bite your tongue and kill yourself." ”
"Bite your tongue and kill yourself?" Hearing Ding Qi's words, Chen Yichen subconsciously rolled up his tongue. Vaguely asked: "Why did you bite your tongue and kill yourself?" ”
"Carry them back. Ding Qi did not answer Chen Yichen, and ordered his subordinates to take away a few dead bodies.
"Everyone is dead, what else can be judged?" Chen Yichen secretly rejoiced that he had their protection, if he really faced these five people, I am afraid that he would definitely die.
"The painters of Jingzhao Mansion will draw their physiognomy into a picture to see if they can find clues. When Ding Qi said this, he glanced at him meaningfully and added, "Except for those who were beaten by you." ”
"It seems that it is really dangerous to be with you. Fei Wu looked at the pool of blood on the ground and said, "Who are those people who just left?"
"The people of Jingzhao Mansion. ”
"Who are those killers?" Fei Wu poured a bowl of wine, drank it all, and said, "I'm scared to death, but I want to drink a bowl of wine to suppress the shock." ”
"The one who wants to kill me. That's right. Chen Yichen thoughtfully picked up the wine bowl: How could these killers know that I was here? Could it be that since I came out of Jingzhao Mansion, someone has been following me.
"Why did you want to kill you?"
"I also want to know why they came to kill me. Chen Yichen can now be sure that today's killer is probably really here to kill himself. But why did they still pretend to be Xiao Mingxu? Could it be that the killer this time was really sent by Xiao Mingxu?
No way. Chen Yichen quickly rejected the idea. I remember that in the prison, Wang Liang said that he would send himself to the frontier to do hard labor. As long as you are out of Kyoto, you can do it at any time, so why do it so much. If Xiao Mingxu really wants people to die by themselves, there is no need to release himself at all.
Chen Yichen believes that Xiao Mingxu is not stupid enough to be so stupid. And the more he wants to cover up like this, the more it can prove that Xiao Mingxu was framed.
Kyoto was really too dangerous, and the thought of having a pair of eyes watching him in the dark made Chen Yichen feel a wave of fear inexplicably. Who is behind all this, and what is his purpose?
used himself to frame Xiao Mingxu, this is the purpose of the people behind the scenes. Chen Yichen suddenly figured out that he was just a pawn to frame Xiao Mingxu, and of course useless pawns would be disposed of as discarded pawns. And in the eyes of the mastermind behind the scenes, he can frame Xiao Mingxu, and he can also wash away his innocence. Therefore, he will never suffer from future troubles.
It must be that. Chen Yichen figured this out, and everything was coherent. From Mojo to Kyoto, everything has been carefully planned. The mastermind behind the planning of this matter is the one who really colludes with Yan Guo secretly.
What is his ultimate goal? Chen Yi and Chen were puzzled.
"Boy, your Phantom Scale Sword is good. ”
Fei Wu's words interrupted Chen Yichen's thoughts, and he came back to his senses and said, "What did you say?
