Chapter 573: He Lied to Me at the Beginning
"Maybe there are many things, we can no longer find out the truth, and the person who killed the Ruan family in the first place was not Ruan Qingyun, but Lin Chen." Ouyang Haoxuan said as if he had thought of something: "Lin Chen asked me to explain the truth to you before, I hope you can forgive Ruan Qingyun." ”
"Lin Chen?" Yun Yuexi was slightly stunned, and then remembered that she had heard Chen Li mention it before, and immediately asked in surprise: "What does he have to do with Ruan Qingyun?" ”
"Ouyang Zun was pretending to be him before." Ouyang Haoxuan told Yun Yuexi what Lin Chen had told him before, and then said, "He later admitted that he killed Chen Li, but it was only because of problems within the sect. ”
"So, you let him go?" Yun Yuexi's face changed slightly, and she looked at Ouyang Haoxuan in disbelief.
Lin Chen killed Chen Li, since he admitted it, how could Ouyang Haoxuan let people go?
"It was Ruan Qingyun who mentioned it to me." Ouyang Haoxuan was afraid that Yun Yuexi would misunderstand, and immediately explained: "I always thought that Ruan Qingyun believed in Lin Chen, and Lin Chen killed so many people in the Ruan family, I think even if Ruan Qingyun likes someone again, he shouldn't forgive him, right?" ”
"And then?" Yun Yuexi frowned, a little surprised.
"Then, Ruan Qingyun found me alone and told me that she wanted to take Lin Chen away." Ouyang Haoxuan shrugged, spread his hands and said, "I thought she wanted to stay away from the rivers and lakes with Lin Chen, so naturally she disagreed, and only said that Lin Chen could only be handed over to Xi'er for execution." ”
"I was wrong for you." For a moment, Yun Yuexi almost thought that she had recognized the wrong person.
"It's okay." Ouyang Haoxuan stretched out his hand and patted Yun Yuexi's head gently, and said with a slight smile: "But Ruan Qingyun told me that she suspected that Lin Chen still had a purpose behind it, because she felt that it was impossible for a person to suddenly give up what she had been pursuing before, and she thought that if Lin Chen's personality when he pretended to be Ouyang Zun was the same as himself, then Lin Chen would definitely not be the one to let go so easily." ”
"Didn't you question it at the time?" Yun Yuexi was also a little hesitant at this time, thought for a while and said, "Maybe this is a trick that Ruan Qingyun and Lin Chen discussed and wanted to deceive you?" ”
"I thought so at the time, so I refused." Ouyang Haoxuan spread out his hand, shook his head and said, "But Ruan Qingyun said that the person she wants to resurrect is actually Ouyang Zun, not Lin Chen, because Ouyang Zun knows where the wealth of the Ruan family is back then." ”
"You mean, everyone thinks that the Ruan family guards the secret of that wealth, but in fact it is not at all?" Yun Yuexi's eyes widened, and she asked in disbelief: "Then why does the Ruan family keep letting others say this?" ”
"Because the Ruan family promised the Holy Lord back then, that is, they wanted to protect Ouyang Zun." Ouyang Haoxuan knew that this matter was difficult for people to believe, and explained more seriously: "Do you think Ouyang Zun is that kind of person? Actually, no, Ruan Qingyun really wanted to marry Ouyang Zun at that time, but unfortunately Ouyang Zun was killed later, Ruan Qingyun had already found out that Ouyang Zun had been replaced, but she didn't expose it, so that she was always looking for a way to bring Ouyang Zun back to life. ”
"Why does Ruan Qingyun want that position of wealth?" Yun Yuexi narrowed her eyes and asked with some puzzlement: "If Ouyang Zun is the one who always carries a secret, then he will definitely not tell anyone, how can Ruan Qingyun know?" ”
"Ruan Qingyun said that Ouyang Zun found a person, a person who was playing chess behind his back." Ouyang Haoxuan thought about what Ruan Qingyun said at the beginning, and said with some agreement: "Ruan Qingyun thinks that there is someone behind Lin Chen who is controlling them, at first she thought it was Gu Xu, but after she really came into contact with Lin Chen, she found that she had guessed wrong. ”
"Guess wrong?" Yun Yuexi immediately understood what Ouyang Haoxuan meant, and immediately asked, "So, Ruan Qingyun deliberately approached Lin Chen, wanting to find out who the person behind him was?" ”
"Yes, although I objected at the time, I said, even if you go with him, you may not be able to ask anything." Ouyang Haoxuan erased the words written on the table, and said in a deep voice: "She said that she has a way, as for what the way, I don't know." ”
"In other words, Ruan Qingyun will still take Lin Chen back to Beijing, right?" Yun Yuexi only needs to confirm this matter now, because of the senior brother's hatred...... She must report it herself!
……
The night is slightly cool.
Ruan Qingyun leaned on the pillar under the corridor and heard Lin Chen's usual soft voice beside her: "The breeze is picturesque, the scenery is like water, why are you depressed?" ”
Ruan Qingyun didn't look back, just moved a few steps closer to Lin Chen, and said softly: "I just miss my family." ”
Lin Chen's body trembled, and his eyes stared at Ruan Qingyun with deep eyes.
Ruan Qingjun is a beauty.
Even though she has experienced so many things, her beauty is still the same, as if time has not stopped in her.
It's just that the eyes that looked at him were faintly shining, as if waiting for him to say something.
"The deceased is gone, the living are encouraged, I think Scholar Ruan must hope that you will be safe and happy in this world, and not be immersed in sorrow forever." Lin Chen listened to his voice low and soft, as if he would break something untouchable if he was not careful.
Ruan Qingyun looked at Lin Chen for a long time, and finally nodded slowly.
The breeze was blowing, and the moonlight was shining on the two of them, as if outlining a faint silver light for them.
Ruan Qingyun rarely has a so-called sense of security about anyone, but in the face of Lin Chen, the person who obviously killed her whole family, an indescribable emotion appeared in her heart, and her chest was filled with emotions like smoke, which slowly disappeared with the scenery in front of her.
Neither of them was talking, quietly watching the bright moonlight sprinkle over the entire courtyard, and suddenly, Ruan Qingyun let out a slight "huh".
"What's wrong?" Lin Chen turned his head to look at Ruan Qingyun and asked.
Ruan Qingyun blinked and said thoughtfully, "I seemed to feel that someone was there just now." ”
Lin Chen subconsciously looked in the direction of Ruan Qingyun's finger, but in the distance was a bamboo forest full of shadows, and he couldn't see anything clearly, so he just replied casually: "Is it wrong?" ”
"Maybe." Ruan Qingyun raised her eyebrows slightly, turned her head to smile at Lin Chen, and stopped talking.
After the two of them finished speaking, suddenly a scream sounded, and Ruan Qingyun had already rushed over in an instant, which was the place she pointed to just now.
When Lin Chen arrived, he found Ruan Qingyun squatting next to a person's corpse, carefully inspecting, and couldn't help but ask with some hesitation, "Who is it?" ”
"The Huang family who cleaned the house for me." Ruan Qingyun frowned, she never thought that the Huang family would appear here at such a late hour.
"Maybe someone really happened to be here, but he was touched by the Huang family who happened to be passing by." Lin Chen thought for a while and said, "So, that person killed the Huang family." ”
"Why did that man come to spy on us?" Ruan Qingyun suddenly looked at Lin Chen, and the depth in her eyes was like a vortex, as if Lin Chen's whole person was involved.
"Yun'er, are you suspicious of me?" Lin Chen covered his heart as if he was a little hurt, gritted his teeth and said, "You know, I look forward to this kind of life more than you. ”
"But it can't be ruled out that you are supporting me for Gu Yan." Ruan Qingyun got up slowly, pointed to the Huang family on the ground and said: "The Huang family's body has actually been poisoned by me a long time ago, just because I am afraid that someone will attack her, but whoever kills her, the Gu worm will take advantage of the person's unpreparedness to enter that person's body, so if you want to save that person, it's best to hurry." ”
"Yun'er......" Lin Chen opened his mouth quietly, but said nothing.
In fact, Ruan Qingyun also hoped that Lin Chen would deny something, but Lin Chen took a wrong step again after all.
"You've never trusted anyone." After a long time, Lin Chen spoke.
"No, I believed you." Ruan Qingyun said lightly: "If you don't send someone to kill the Huang family, maybe it's not bad for us to pretend like this." ”
"Where's the antidote?" Lin Chen had no choice but to clap his hands, motioned for the secret guard who followed him to appear, and said slowly: "I called people out, Yun'er, give me the antidote." ”
"He's important to you?" Ruan Qingyun pointed at the secret guard beside Lin Chen who looked pained, and asked as if he didn't have any emotion.
"Yes." Lin Chen nodded and said, "He has been by my side since he was a child and has never left. ”
"Do you know who the Huang family is?" Ruan Qingyun looked at the Huang family on the ground, and a trace of sadness slowly crossed between her eyebrows, "She was in the palace, and she used to be your most powerful grandmother, have you forgotten?" ”
Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, his eyes fell on the Huang family's face, which had been carved by the years and almost no longer had the previous appearance, and he retreated suddenly, and said in some surprise: "Aunt Ronghe? ”
"Yes, it's Aunt Ronghe." Ruan Qingyun shook her head suddenly, as if she said with some sympathy: "When Ouyang Zun died, the Holy Lord decided to let all the people who had served Ouyang Zun accompany the funeral, and I rescued Aunt Rong He, because she was Ouyang Zun's most trusted person, but ...... But you let your men kill her. ”
"This can't be, Aunt Rong He is already dead!" Lin Chen finally shouted out a little out of shape, that person had clearly told him back then that Aunt Rong He was dead!
"When you were in the palace back then, if she hadn't protected you everywhere, maybe you would have died a long time ago, but she died in your hands in the end, Lin Chen, you say...... Does this count as cause and effect? Ruan Qingyun slowly squatted down, closed Huang's open eyes, and said lightly: "It's as if you killed the Ruan family in the first place, what do you want?" ”
"Not what I wanted." Lin Chen seemed to have recovered from the pain and muttered, "It's not me ......"
"Master!" The secret guard beside Lin Chen immediately spoke up, as if he was worried about Lin Chen saying it.
"He killed Aunt Rong He!" Lin Chen covered his heart, looked at the secret guard as if hurt, and said, "Didn't he tell me that Aunt Ronghe was dead?" ”
"The person you're talking about isn't Gu Xu?" Ruan Qingyun heard a hint of other meaning from Lin Chen's words, and immediately asked, "Lin Chen, who is that person?" ”
