Chapter 60: The Old Road

Return the way you came.

Cross the haystack and turn right.

Changting walked in the night, his knees were weak, his body was unstable and he threw forward, he stumbled hard, his palm was rough and slammed, and he immediately rubbed off a layer of skin.

The light of the lantern bummered in all directions, and the shadows of the two men flickered and grew.

The strength of Changting's whole body seemed to have been taken away, just like the blood that trickled out of Dai Heng's abdomen and couldn't stop.

It's ridiculous, it's obvious that she took someone else's life, but she wants to cry until she can't do it.

It has nothing to do with grievances and bitterness.

I just want to cry.

The tip of the knife pierced into the flesh, picking through the flesh, stirring and tumbling in the bright red blood that flowed endlessly in the human body.

Man's flesh is soft, his blood is hot, and man is fragile and not as indestructible as the eye sees.

Changting stretched out his hand, and the palm of his hand was worn out, faintly showing a few blood marks - it was these hands that stabbed the dagger into Dai Heng's abdomen, it was these hands, and there were still red blood stains on the fingertips that flowed down the handle of Dai Heng, and it was these hands that ended a person's life.

She killed someone.

Changting sincerely felt frightened and helpless, but he also felt inexplicably relieved.

"After a while, a certain shopkeeper sent a pot of soju to Miss Lu's room."

Meng Tuo's eyes swept from Changting's hand, the little girl's white palm was broken and bloodstained, but her fingers were swollen, her little finger was red and swollen like a small radish, Meng Tuo's throat choked, and he couldn't help but slow down the sound, "Take the liquor and pour it on your palms, the army does this, it's good to endure a little pain." ”

The boy's voice was low and steady, and the galloping wind was like a light wave crashing on the water's edge.

Changting hurriedly hid his hand in his sleeve and quickly explained, "It's too dark."

Because it was too dark, I couldn't see the road, so I fell.

Meng Tuo glanced at the burning lantern, was speechless for a while, and only spoke after a long time, "When I killed someone for the first time, I was ten years old and killed with a knife. The taste of killing is not pleasant, no one is the king of Yama, and he has the right to take people's lives at will. So before you start killing someone, you have to think about it, do I have the qualifications to do this? Does this person have a reason to die? If he didn't die, what would I be in? ”

This was the first time Changting had heard Meng Tuo say such long words.

Meng Tuo has always been silent, even clumsy, there are no words in his words, and there is also a Confucian way, but he let Changting slowly raise his head.

The little girl's face and eyes were exposed in the shimmering snow, softly reflecting the warm light, quietly and peacefully reassuring the time.

Meng Tuo turned the lantern lower, and the light became dim, and he walked forward slowly, continuing to say as he went, "These three points, Dai Hengquan is in the middle." There is a deep hatred in the sea of blood, and Miss Lu naturally has the qualifications to start. Dai Heng deserves his crimes, and if he doesn't die, he will become a trouble, so he must die. If Dai Heng is still alive, Miss Lu. X, Yue Sanye, and these hundred people will all fall into a dangerous situation. After a pause, he said in a deep voice, "So, Miss Lu doesn't need to feel any fear or panic at all. Dai Heng's life is yours. ”

analyzed very calmly, and there was no trace of comfort in the words, but it made Changting's nose sour for no reason, and he could fall into tears.

Changting hurriedly lowered his head and eyes, secretly wiped the corners of his eyes with his hand, and silently counted three times in his heart, one, two, three, and told him in his heart that he would not be entangled in this anymore, and when he looked up again, his face was calm, and he raised his face and said softly, "Dai Heng is dead, and the clue has been broken." A certain first said that he did not rely on Dai Heng, and he was still able to deduce who was behind the scenes, not arrogant in his heart. ”

The clue is broken, she doesn't know the truth, and the Shi family doesn't know.

Not bringing Dai Heng back alive was a dereliction of duty on the part of Meng Tuo.

Changting naturally couldn't repay virtue with resentment, because of his impulsiveness, Meng Tuo fell into a situation of being criticized by others.

Meng Tuo's eyebrows sank, and he let out a light "um", motioning for Changting to continue.

"With the time difference that a certain general said, if you go back and forth for ten days, where can Dai Heng go? To the east is Wanzhou, to the west is Yongzhou, to the south is Jizhou, Jizhou is the jurisdiction of Shida people, which can naturally be excluded. There are scholars in Yongzhou, and there are Hanmen generals with real power in their hands, intercepting and killing the Lu family's house, and the people of the Lu family are in turmoil, so they can naturally take the opportunity to share a piece of soup in this pot of porridge."

"Where's the north side?"

Meng Tuo interrupted him softly with an obscure expression.

Changting's feet stiffened, opened his mouth slightly, and then slowly closed it.

They went all the way to the north, and the end point was Yuzhou Pingcheng.

And from Youzhou to the north to Yuzhou, if the road is fast and does not stop, ten days is more than enough.

What does Yuzhou Heisei have?

There is the old house of the Lu family.

If Meng Tuo didn't think of starting from the idea of time difference at the beginning, then Changting reminded him that it was impossible for a person who was born in the army to be familiar with the map, and he couldn't imagine where he could reach in five days with Youzhou as his base.

"To the north is Yuzhou."

Changting took a light step forward, said lightly, word by word, "Pingcheng, Yuzhou." ”

Yuzhou is the world of the Lu family, and the thorn history sent down by the imperial court is one after another, just like the Spring Festival couplets for the New Year, one pair a year - no thorn history can last a year in Yuzhou, this is the power of the gate valve. Similarly, it is impossible for the gate valve force to allow Dai Heng, a clown who jumps off the beam, to enter and leave Yuzhou like no one.

If.

It's just that if Dai Heng rode back and forth in the past ten days, then the Lu family's house was intercepted and killed, it must have something to do with Yuzhou, and it must have something to do with Hecheng.

It must have something to do with the Lu family

Changting was silent and did not speak again.

Meng Tuo didn't speak anymore.

The answer is like being covered with a layer of window paper, and when you poke your fingers, you can look through the big hole.

But no one dared to reach out and stab it.

I really want to be like fire, looking at the light, and when I reach out and touch it, I will be burned

Just like the road when they came, the two of them walked very quietly, the decayed stairs "creaked", the long pavilion walked in front, Meng Tuo stretched the lantern handle to follow, and will go up to the third floor, the porch is long, Meng Tuo is the first to speak, "A certain first ask people to pay attention to the people and horses coming and going in Yongzhou." ”

Yuzhou was not mentioned, and he was not the first to suspect that there was a problem with the old house in Heisei.

Changting suddenly rose with gratitude, bowed his head lightly, and whispered, "Youzhou is about to be in chaos tomorrow, and in a hurry, it is not impossible for Zhou Tongling to dig his own grave." ”

Meng Tuo nodded, "Youzhou will also put people down." As soon as he stretched out his hand into the darkness, three or four majestic black shadows rushed towards him.

"The world is chaotic, the two girls are in the room, they have to be on guard, and they don't have the intention of surveillance." Meng Tuo explained in a deep voice.

This long pavilion can naturally understand, the little girl stood in front of the door half-sideways, bowed to Meng Tuo with etiquette in place, and her tone was very sincere, "In the morning, a certain person is not in a mood, and there is a suspicion of being calculated, so he will be very rude to sprinkle his anger on Lord Meng, and I hope that the adult will not mind." Seeing Meng Tuo's expressionless face, Changting sighed, in troubled times, no one could help himself. If the Shi family wants to plan the plate, it is the Shi family's business, where the leader points to, Meng Tuo can only fight, and the calculation and conspiracy have nothing to do with him.

Changting is blessed again, "the hardships of the road back can be known one or two, a certain first thanked Lord Meng for the kindness of shelter all the way, if there is a chance, it will be the grace of dripping water"

"It's a certain duty, and it's also an order from the top, which has nothing to do with kindness."

After Meng Tuo's tone dropped this sentence without the slightest fluctuation, he led the people to the west wing.

The man walked in a big way, Changting was choked by the words, his chest was stuffy, he stood in front of the door and took a deep breath, and then pushed the door in with a smile.

Pushing the door, Xiao Changning was wearing a plain silk silk white clothes and standing by the window lattice to comb Hu Yuniang's hair, this is the first time Hu Yuniang put her hair down and draped it behind her, listening to the sound of the door closing one by one, she hurriedly turned around, and saw that it was Changting, she breathed a sigh of relief and followed her face with some shame, and stammered and explained, "A-Ning said that my hair looks good when I wear it down"

Changning put the wooden comb and rushed over to hug Changting, raised his head and grinned, revealing his missing front teeth, "It was originally so!" After waiting for the market, buy a few beautiful hairpins and silk flowers for Sister Ayu! Pin it in a bun, it looks good! ”

Changting wanted to touch the young girl's forehead, but his hand reached halfway and retracted into his sleeve.

There was blood on her hands, and her young sister was still young.

She tried her best to downplay her young sister's sadness. RS
