Chapter 14: Groaning and Walking
I remained calm under duress and said, "I said that you wouldn't dare to kill me." ”
Yuwen Yong sneered, "Why don't I dare to kill you?" ”
"Because you have the handle in my hand." I stared straight at him, revealing a knife-sharp edge, "Do you really think that I would dare to leave Chang'an alone without any preparation?" As soon as I die, your secret will be exposed, and are you sure you want to kill me? ”
"What's the handle?" Yu Wenyong's smile stiffened, and he asked unwillingly.
"Listen to me tell you slowly." I ran my fingers over the blade of the sword, "Ever since I fell down the bamboo ladder that day, I felt something was wrong. After I fell down the ladder, I found that the soles of my shoes smelled of tung oil, and afterwards I went to check the ladder and found traces of tung oil on it, so I suspected that you and Jingjing had designed me together to stage a good show of heroes saving beauty. But I was only suspicious at the time, there was no evidence, and I just thought I was overthinking. ”
"Women in the world are all in love, and for the sake of love, they can do anything regardless of themselves. So you deliberately approached me and teased me three times, in order to let me fall into the love network you weaved, so that I could use me to do things for you. But you didn't expect that all those tricks of yours would work on me. Then you gave me a bunch of treasures to test whether I would be bought by money. After some temptation, you found that neither the temptation of affection nor the temptation of money could shake me, so you resorted to the last resort - to force me with your life. In order to save my life, I had to pretend to answer Yu Wenyu. ”
"What really made me grab you was that on the night on the first floor, you killed Hou Zhi." Speaking of this, I was in a surprisingly good mood and smiled at Yu Wenyong.
Yu Wenyong's face changed, and then he was calm again, "Why do you say that I killed Hou Zhi, do you have any evidence?" ”
"Absolutely." "After checking you that night, the servant had a handful of black ash on his hands, and with my years of experience in the kitchen, I recognized it at a glance as kitchen ash, which proves that you have been to the kitchen." The kitchen is on fire, what else can you do when you go to the kitchen but burn things and destroy the evidence? ”
"That night, you found out that Hou Zhi was going to tell Yuwen Hu, so you led Hou Zhi to the backyard and killed people. Because he is an acquaintance, Hou Zhi is defenseless, and you can easily kill him. But you never thought that Yuwen Hu and I came here, and in the fight with Yu Wen Hu, you accidentally let him know through your martial arts path that you were the masked young man who assassinated him in Cuihua Mountain, and in a panic, you were cut by Yu Wen Hu. You sneaked into the kitchen to burn the coat after you escaped, but in the process of burning the clothes, you accidentally got the ashes on the stove, which explains why the servants got the ashes on their hands after checking you. ”
"Coincidentally, the underwear and outer clothes you wore that day were the same color, but the inner clothes were slightly lighter and the outer clothes were slightly darker, so no one knew that you burned the outer clothes, only the drunk Yang Shangxi saw it, and it was also his words that reminded me that you have a problem."
Yu Wenyong sneered, "Your ability to make up nonsense is not bad, but I have been in the east pavilion on the second floor that night and have never left." My companions can testify to this, and how can I kill people when I am not present? ”
I smiled calmly: "You also said that you not only drank in the restaurant that night, but also played pitcher. Pitching pots, with the spout of the wine as the mark, throwing arrows at a certain distance, deciding the winner with how much to invest, and punishing the loser with wine, this is a game that is easy for people to devote themselves to, and if you are happy, you will get carried away, I am afraid that you will not notice that one or two people are missing. Besides, you will be feasted with all your close friends, and it is not impossible that any of them will want to cover for you. “
"Without evidence, it's all just your speculation, and no one will believe it."
"The evidence is the mountain jade pendant that represents your identity." Looking at Yu Wenyong's shocked face, I said leisurely, "You burned your coat that night, not only stained the ashes in the panic, but also lost the mountain jade on your body. That night, I went to the kitchen to check, and found the mountain Xuan jade pendant engraved with the word 'Lu' on behalf of your identity under the stove, I believe that familiar people can recognize it as your jade pendant at a glance, do you still need me to say more? ”
Yu Wenyong pointed his sword at me in shock, and I still smiled: "I explained all of the above in a letter, and that jade pendant also became evidence and put it in an envelope. If I die, someone will give that letter to Yuwen Go, and then he will know that you have been disguising yourself in front of him all along, and that you, who are mediocre and incompetent on the surface, are actually a scheming, martial arts, extremely dangerous and terrifying character. He will turn against you, and all your forbearance, your disguise, your sacrifice, all your efforts will be reduced to ashes! ”
"Xiao Qingqiang!" Yu Wenyong hated and hated.
"You don't have to look at me like that." I faced him fearlessly, and the cold light in my eyes flashed, like a bright stinging person in the snow, "I, Xiao Qingqiang, have always been people who do not harm me, I do not harm others, if they harm me, I will return the amount." At least I won't take the initiative to harm people, unlike you, you conspirators, cruel and ruthless, only fighting for power and profit, playing with people's hearts, you should have this reward! ”
Yu Wenyong's face was full of entanglement, pain, ruthlessness, anger, and unwillingness were intertwined, and I coldly reminded him, "Can I go?" ”
Although Yu Wenyong was unwilling, he had to grit his teeth and say, "Let her go!" ”
The group got out of the way, and I reminded the driver, "Let's go." ”
The wheels rolled over the road, and I coldly glanced at Yu Wenyong's hateful face, threw off the curtain, cut off everything outside, and drove in an unknown direction.
This year, that is, in 560 A.D., Yuwen Yu collapsed in the Yanshou Palace, the edict was located in the fourth brother Yuwen Yong, Yuwen Hu supported the sixteen-year-old Lu Guogong Yu Wen Yong as the emperor, Yu Wen Yong ascended the throne, Yu Wen Yu was the Ming Emperor, the temple number was Shizong, and he was buried in Zhaoling.
Leaving the Zhou State, all the way to Huazhou, passing through Luozhou, Zhejiang, Xiangzhou, Suizhou, and Chuzhou, stopping in Wuchang County, and then taking a boat down the Yangtze River, preparing to go to the Jiankang capital of Chen State.
When the master is there, he often mentions the customs of Chang'an, Jiankang and Luoyang, since the master is not in Chang'an, then I will go to Jiankang, if I can't find anyone in Jiankang, I will go to Luoyang again.
Autumn is bright, the blue sky flows a large piece of amber glazed skylight, the long and beautiful bright light is cast on the blue river, the river water dissolves, the smoke waves are misty, the water on the river surface is sparkling, the snow white silver light is even brighter than the stars in the Milky Way in the sky.
Far away from the deceitful Chang'an, standing outside the boat and looking at the green mountains and clear waters, I only feel refreshed, relaxed, and unspeakably free.
Holding a bamboo flute on the lips and playing leisurely, the sound of the flute is clear and bright, like the blue sea and clouds, the moon is bright and the wind is clear, cool and faint like a water lotus open in the heart, Wu is safe, and the streamer is quiet.
The boat went to the shore, went ashore, and found that there were soldiers at the shore to check it, and asked the reason, only to realize that it was a search for Zhou Guo's fine work, and everyone who crossed the shore had to be searched and confirmed before leaving.
I looked at the man who was directing the search, and at first glance, I was amazed.
The face is like a bright crescent moon, the color is like the flower of spring dawn, the eyebrows are like green feathers, the eyes are like autumn water, the nose is greasy goose fat, the red lips are peach petals, the ice and snow are the skin, the jade is the bone, the long figure, the smile, the color of the city.
How could there be such a beautiful man in this world, if I hadn't seen the Adam's apple around his neck, I would have thought he was a woman dressed as a man.
Search after search, and when it was my turn, I told myself not to be influenced by the beauty of the commanding man, and stood in good order, letting them rummage through my baggage, and when it was all right, I ordered me to be released.
"Stop!" A Bing Ling Ling's voice sounded, and I saw a man in a white robe walking on his back, and the soldiers everywhere he passed retreated respectfully, full of majesty.
This man, who is also handsome, is the kind of beauty that is masculine, not so indistinguishable from male and female, but this person ...... It is clear that I am the enemy of this world and the enemy of the world!
How could I have forgotten this face, it was this man who caused me to be almost killed by random arrows. The revenge of an arrow, the pain of the cone, I will never forget it until I die!
This is clearly the person who held me hostage at Yuwengo's birthday banquet!
I ignored his words, tried to suppress the tide in my heart, and continued to walk, the man said sternly, "You stop! ”
The warning was already evident, and the soldiers on both sides stopped me, and the man walked up to me. Slowly, I quietly put my hand to my waist, and the moment he approached me, I quickly pulled out the silver needle hidden in my belt and stabbed him.
The white-robed man was instantly numb, and I quickly pulled out the knife that had been hidden in my arms, and with a twist of my waist, the snowy knife was already on his throat.
"Master!" The sudden change occurred, and the beautiful man suddenly drew his knife in panic, and the soldiers around him also drew their knives one after another.
I knew that my strength was weak, so I could only use some work on hidden weapons as a weapon of self-defense. The silver needle is coated with anesthetic, which can make people sore, paralyzed, and unable to resist.
"Don't move!" I tightened my grip on the knife and pressed it closer to the neck of the person in my hand, "If you dare to move again, I will cut his throat!" ”
The man didn't dare to move again, and the commander was very nervous: "What do you want?" ”
"Let me go, don't come with me again!" I coldly threatened.
"Don't come with him, or I'll cut off his head!" I shouted out to the soldiers who had followed, and the man in the white robe got on the boat with a knife, and forced the boatman to drive the boat back to me.
I put away the knife, threw the man to the ground, and found a rope to tie his hands and feet, and the man stared at me haughtily despite his weakness, and said coldly, "Do you know who I am?" How dare you do this to me! ”
"Do you know who I am?" I threw it with a slap, and there was a crisp sound of "pop", and I no longer deliberately hid it, and glared at it fiercely.
Scarlet fingerprints appeared on the man's face, and the sparks in his eyes "sizzled" to ignite, "You ......"
I leaned close to him and said, "Does it hurt?" Then another slap was thrown to the other side of his face, "I'm going to make you hurt even more!" ”
