Chapter 24: I Can't Ask for It
The stars are sparse, dotted with a black canopy, and it rains all night, which seems to have the power to wash away blood and sin, but no matter how it is covered, what has happened can never be easily erased.
Tongwei Mountain, the first highest mountain on the border of the Southern Qi Dynasty, --- in the vast sea of clouds under the reflection of the moonlight, is like a thin layer of silver light yarn, as if piercing a giant sword into the clouds, the jade bi stands, the mountain body is steep, at the foot of the mountain can not find the mountain road, only a few black iron chains connect several peaks and valleys, step on the lock and leap, this is also the only way to break the cloud mountain.
The high side of Tongwei Mountain, the top of Tongwei Cliff, is where the Disha Gate is located, the killer training base on the rivers and lakes that makes people shudder when they hear it, chasing and killing the martial arts masters on the rivers and lakes or in various countries, and receiving no missed tasks.
At this time, in the cave under the cliff mouth, a person was dressed in a plain white moire brocade robe, standing with his back in his hands, his sword eyebrows were shining, his appearance was clear, and his eyes looked at the direction of the Guxi River on the border of Qi and Chu intentionally or unintentionally, with a light cloud and light wind. An old man in a jet-black robe beside him, his eyes flashed with anger and sharpness.
Behind him knelt a group of blood-colored people in black, each with a sincere fear, although separated by a few feet, he could still feel the innate cold aura emanating from the man in white.
"My earth demons ~ Tiangang twenty-four evils ~ were beaten by two women and returned, if it weren't for their mercy, it seems that what I saw here was your corpse."
"The subordinates insult the master's mission, and the crime deserves death." The man in black clenched his hands into fists, not daring to raise his head, but felt a deep sense of shock.
"Looks like I'm underestimating you, Ling Xi." The man in white seemed to be muttering to himself, but the woman in white with a thin temperament and a shocking appearance suddenly appeared in front of him, playing Xiao under the moon, gentle and beautiful, but she had an indifferent attitude towards anyone who was thousands of miles away, except for the dying person.
Thinking of this, the man in white suddenly felt a shock in his chest, and with a wave of his white sleeves, Tiangang Twenty-four Evil, who was kneeling behind him, fell to the ground in an instant, and his body was pierced with countless silver needles as thin as cow's hair, and the light of the forest and cold was emitted under the moonlight, and after a while, the silver needles all disappeared, as if evaporating.
"Door master, I'm afraid that the Beijing side already knows that this mission will not be successful, will we refund the gold owner's commission, after all..." The old man who had been standing next to him tentatively asked the man in white for instructions after the man in black fell to the ground for a long time.
"Hmph, I'm still afraid of him." The man in white turned around and brushed his sleeves away, but the elegant white figure and the extraordinary face could not be dispersed in his mind.
Shredded morning light shone through the spacious courtyard.
The carriage passed by the blue brick and red tile mansion gate and stopped at the back door in the alley.
The clouds were surging, and an atmosphere of unease was slowly brewing.
At dusk, Zhao Tong entered a hall in the side courtyard, and when he saw Ling Xi and Shang Hongling, his face was slightly surprised, "Meet Lord Zhao Sihui, I came to disturb me rashly this time, Yang Ge Lao said, be sure to have a small book that records all the officials and state affairs of Chu State" When Shang Hongling said Yang Ge Lao's three words, Zhao Tong's body trembled obviously.
Shang Hongling turned sideways, and on the pear wood carved couch, Ling Xi, who was dressed in white, sat quietly, "Presumably Lord Sihui has heard that Ye Qingchen Ye Xiao County Lord entered Jinling, last night we were attacked by the enemy, and accidentally got lost with the little county lord, and Xiao Za was in the hands of the little county lord."
Zhao Tong's expression moved slightly, obviously very concerned about this notebook, which recorded the officials and state secrets of the Chu State, and when the Chu State was upright and fighting in the internal fighting, it was of great benefit to the Zhao family to master these.
"You guys just stay in the Zhao Mansion, I will arrange everything, and I will immediately send someone out to secretly find the little county lord" Zhao Tong glanced at Ling Xi again after speaking, as if he looked at Ling Xi intentionally or unintentionally.
Ling Xi was always in a light mood, and there was no smile on his delicate and beautiful face. Ling Xi seemed to feel the scrutinizing gaze, and suddenly raised his head to meet the pair of eyes, Ling Xi's eyes were cold, but there was an invisible deterrent momentum on his body, "Thank you" Sakura's lips opened slightly, Ling Xi only said this sentence, seeing this, Zhao Tong no longer lingered and turned to go out.
The housekeeper also quickly arranged a place for them to live, a quiet courtyard in the Zhao Mansion, the stagnant water on the ground has been swept away, and there are a few plum blossoms in the corner of the house.
"I can't stay too long, Zhao Mansion is the place of official eunuchs, although it is clear that some people will be jealous, but secretly there should be many secret guards to search again, and after Zhao Tong gets the book, he will act according to the plan when the time comes." Ling Xi said lightly to Shang Hongling.
Zhao Mansion is also Zhao Sihui Mansion, Zhao Tong is the Sihui of Chu State, and he is also the youngest Guozi Priest Wine. Zhao Tong was originally a native of Momen, but he was weak since he was a child, and it was naturally not good to survive in Momen, a martial sect of rivers and lakes, but he was talented and intelligent, he read poetry and books since he was a child, and he came out of Momen and entered the Chu State to gain fame and fame, and he made achievements in the politics of the auxiliary country, but few people knew that Zhao Si of Chu would have a relationship with the Momen of the mighty rivers and lakes, if it wasn't for Zhao Xinwu's previous appearance in Momen, even Ling Xi, who was the eldest lady of Lingfu, would not know.
Ling Xi glanced at Shang Hongling, and then turned his head to look out the window, "It is estimated that someone will know about your news in the Zhao Mansion soon, Shangjing, the Wei State will send people to look for it, but you don't go to the Gu Xuanwu Mansion, but you use the identity of the little county lord to come to the Zhao family, you are not only avoiding the Shangjing side, but also avoiding Gu Xuanwu?" ”
Shang Hongling put his finger on the edge of the window, and his expression hesitated for a moment, "Thank you for your rescue last night, I will definitely repay you for this kindness, if we want to live, we can only rely on ourselves, although Gu Xuanwu is strong, but this is Eastern Chu, if it is discovered in the future that the general of Chu has taken in the three county lords of the Great Yu Wu Palace, it will inevitably cause the taboo of Emperor Chu in the future, and he cares about the little county lord very much, why should I worry."
"You stay in the Zhao Mansion first, and I will help you find a safe and hidden place when the time comes, and now I will wait for someone to come." After Ling Xi finished the last sentence, Shang Hongling stepped forward to take the things sent by the maids and sorted them out neatly.
At night, the moonlight melts, the courtyard is lonely, and the surroundings are very quiet.
Ling Xi closed the door, looked around a few times, and after confirming that it was safe, he flew up in a few steps, and in a moment, the figure had already left the Zhao Mansion.
On a desolate hillside on the outskirts, there are only a few dead trees.
A figure walked out from behind the tree, stepped lightly on the trunk, and with the rain falling from the tree, turned around and landed on the ground.
"You're really back, those two Liao ·····" The person in the shade of the tree was a woman in a dark brocade dress, with red lips and white teeth, deep eyebrows and eyes, an exotic style, and a bit of gorgeous charm.
"I heard that you are pregnant and pregnant with a dragonborn, do you want this child to be born safely, and have something to do in the future." Seeing that the woman was pondering, Ling Xi paused and said: "Jun Zhengqing probably won't let you go, even if the child is born safely, he will become a pawn in Jun Zhengqing's hands in the future, he will not be satisfied with being a comfortable prince on the rich side, but..." The woman did not answer, "If you agree to cooperate with me, I will keep your child safe for the rest of his life, if he is a prince, I can help him get rid of Jun Zhengqing and let him ascend to the throne one day, otherwise, Jun Zhengqing will definitely not be able to tolerate him, and there is only a dead end to stay in the palace." ”
The woman seemed hesitant and unbearable, pondered for a moment, and then replied, "I promise you, Ming Jing, who was arranged by Jun Zhengqing, has entered the palace as a concubine and gave birth to a prince, Jun Zhengqing will definitely protect him as the crown prince and will not let me and the child go." ”
The moment he looked at Ling Xi, he paused slightly, "You have waited for him for so many years, and now it is finally time to meet, but you are about to live and die again."
Ling Xi looked softly into the distance, thinking of the man in the center of the storm now, his eyes were awe-inspiring, "I will definitely make them pay the price and repay the suffering of my husband and wife." ”
The woman was slightly stunned, "It seems that he treats you very well, so that you fall in love with him."
Ling Xi stood on the hillside, the wind blowing the corners of her clothes, and she looked in the direction of Jinling with a determined expression.
All the people who hurt him, she Ling Xi would not let any of them go.
