It turned out that because of the cold weather that day, Zuo Du Wei Xiao Zhong proposed that the soldiers drink a small amount of alcohol to ward off the cold. Ruan Shuping recovered from a serious illness, and he stopped after tasting it. I didn't expect to escape because of this. It turned out that the wine contained drugs, and Ruan Shuping woke up halfway because he drank less. He found that Xiao Chongzheng was leading a dozen masked men to kill the unconscious soldiers one by one. Ruan Shuping knew that he was invincible, so he quietly stabbed himself in the left chest with a sword, lay on the ground and pretended to be dead.

After killing everyone, the men set fire to the supplies. At this time, Xiao Zhong fought with those masked people.

Ruan Shuping heard Xiao shouting at the masked man in the language of the northern foreign tribes, and he only understood a few words. However, these few sentences alone had taken him by surprise. Xiao Chong's actions were actually instructed by important ministers in the court, but that person did not intend to leave him alive. Unfortunately, they never said the man's name.

Xiao Zhong was finally killed by the masked men.

Ruan Shuping heard that there was no movement around, got up from the ground and prepared to leave, but found that there were still masked people left! These people acted ruthlessly and cautiously, pretending to leave just in case someone like him slipped through the net.

Ruan Shuping was seriously injured and fled into the Shenlong Forest, and was shot by an arrow by the pursuers behind him while fleeing, thinking that he would die, but he actually ran into a giant snake. The serpent swallowed several of its pursuers in one bite, and the rest of the people fled in all directions in fright. He was chased by a serpent and jumped off a cliff and stumbled into the cave.

However, death followed him like a shadow, and he still did not let him go. When he examined the wound behind the water curtain cave, he found that the arrow was coated with poison, and it was hopelessly poisoned into the bone marrow. He was unwilling to die, so he carved a suicide note in the cave to explain the cause and effect, and was afraid that future generations would not find the cave, so he thought of the method of carving words on the scales of the giant snake, so he ventured to climb the cliff.

In the end, he didn't want to die in the forest and be buried in Shekou, so he chose to return to the cave and die in the cave with full of resentment and concern for his wife and daughter.

……

Looking at the words on the wall, as if crossing the Ganges River of time, An Xiaoxiao and Baili Renault saw everything that was thrilling ten years ago. When they finished reading the last word, both of them were silent, and only the sound of "whooshing" water could be heard outside in the cave.

"Damn!" Baili Renault slammed his fist into the cave wall, his fist moving away, and the rubble scattered, leaving a shallow hole in the wall, but the back of his hand was already dripping with blood.

An Xiaoxiao looked at it word by word. Ruan Shuping's font is boxy, and the arc of the outline is very rounded, and he knows people from the words, which shows that he is a steady and gentle person. It is hard to imagine what kind of will allows such a person to overcome many difficulties and accomplish so many things in the last moment of his life.

She lowered her eyes and sighed heavily. Looking back, Baili Renault stared at the wall, his bottomless eyes could no longer read emotion, only the still bleeding palm reminded everyone of how angry he had just been.

"What are you thinking?" An Xiaoxiao asked.

"Ten years ......" Baili Renault paused, and his deep voice became even heavier at this time: "We let an innocent person bear the charge of ten years in vain. ”

"Yes, and the real traitor is still hiding in the court."

Baili Renault gritted his teeth: "He can't hide for long." In the past, I didn't know the way, but now that Providence has brought us into here, I will never allow such a moth to exist on the high position of the Sitong Country. ”

Providence? This word made An Xiaoxiao uneasy, and then said: "Ruan Shuping fought for his life and left such an important clue, hoping that one day the world will know the truth of the Dao." Since you have spoken in front of his bones, you must do it—find the traitor and clear him. It must be known that Ruan Shuping under Jiuquan and dozens of innocent deaths of the Ruan family are looking forward to this day. ”

Baili Renault glanced at her lightly: "Why do I feel like I have been staked by you?"

"Is there one?" An Xiaoxiao blinked her innocent eyes.

Baili Renault snorted coldly: "You don't have to threaten with those ghosts and gods, I will definitely do it!" He stood up and said solemnly to Ruan Shuping's bones: "If there are really nine springs in the world, and you are watching this king there at the moment, then you can reincarnate on the road with peace of mind!" This king promises you that one day you will be cleared and your name will be justified. ”

An Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, and it was suddenly a lot easier to unload the heavy responsibility.

Baili Renaud suddenly asked, "Do you have any tools in that bag that can dig things?" ”

An Xiaoxiao is called a sweat, and he feels that he is treated as a robot cat.

"What do you need tools for?"

Baili Renaud glanced at Ruan Shuping's corpse: "He has been wronged for so many years, and he must not be exposed to the corpse wilderness again." Let's bury him! ”

An Xiaoxiao's heart moved: "I have a better idea!" ”

In front of the waterfall, in the clearing. The raging fire burned wantonly, and Ruan Shuping's bones gradually turned to ashes with the flames.

An Xiaoxiao knelt on the ground and kowtowed to him three times. This is what she knocked for herself, and it is also for Ao Xue and Xia Qing. Thinking that the two sisters were still looking forward to finding their father's whereabouts, An Xiaoxiao felt a heavy heartache, and she didn't know how to tell them the bad news after she went away.

Baili Renault witnessed An Xiaoxiao's actions, and his heart was touched, so he also knelt down in front of the fire and bowed.

An Xiaoxiao took out a jar and put Ruan Shuping's ashes in it. It was the only thing she could bring to the two sisters.

"An Xiaoxiao, this matter is very important, and we can't startle the snake without evidence. You can't tell anyone what you've seen! ”

An Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes: "I know the way!" ”

She deliberately replied vaguely, Ruan Shuping's death had to be told to Ao Xue and Xia Qing.

After the two of them dealt with the matter, they went on the road again, looking for a way out of the forest.
