The room was unusually quiet at this time, Old Man Ji was lying there silently, if it weren't for the slight rise and fall of his chest, that pale face, it would definitely make people think that Old Man Ji was no longer there.

Zhao Chen heard someone say a long time ago that when people are about to die, they always have a grimace on their faces, and once they wear this kind of grimace, they are basically not far from death.

Before Zhao Chen, he only thought that this kind of thing was too, but at this moment, when he looked at the expression on Old Man Ji's face, he suddenly began to believe it a little.

The cheekbones on both sides are protruding, the two eye sockets are sunken, and the face is gray, which is very shocking to look at, and it also makes Zhao Chen feel uncomfortable and speechless.

Old man Ji's injury has been exhausted, even if Zhao Chen has a powerful supermarket where he can buy anything he needs, but at this moment, facing the dying old man Ji, he is helpless.

Because, the knife that penetrated Old Man Ji's chest and abdomen was almost destroyed, and Old Man Ji's internal organs, moreover, it had been nearly forty days, and there was already some erosion inside.

Generally, the surgery of internal organs needs to be carried out in a sterile environment, and there is no good environment, even if the doctor is smart, he does not dare to operate easily.

Because, even if the operation is successful, the bacteria left behind will easily kill people, not to mention, Old Man Ji has been delayed for so long!

The room was quiet, Zhao Chen sat in front of Old Man Ji's couch, quietly listening to Ji Ning'er talk about what happened during this time, especially. The process of Old Man Ji's injury!

Ma Zhou said in the letter that he was not clear, only that he said that there was a traitor in the Hidden Gate Academy. But there is no mention of the specifics!

When Fang was outside, Zhao Chen also asked Ji Ning'er, but unfortunately, Ji Ning'er looked painful and unwilling to talk about it, which made him feel more and more that there was something strange inside.

At this time. Ji Ning'er sat opposite Zhao Chen, sitting on the ground, her knees slightly bent. Holding his knees with his hands, he quietly told Zhao Chen about the events of the day.

"Jiang Chao?" Hearing Ji Ning'er say that it was Jiang Chao, the expression on Zhao Chen's face entered a sluggish state in an instant. Sitting there stunned. After a long while, he was very surprised.

“… Well! When Ji Ning'er heard this, her eyes turned red for a moment, and in her eyes, she was instantly filled with mist, and her expression looked painful and nodded softly.

"How is this possible!" Zhao Chen's eyebrows furrowed, with a look of disbelief, he looked at Ji Ning'er and said, "Anyone can betray." How could Jiang Chao betray, his head was caught by the door? ”

"But that's him. If it weren't for him, how could those people enter the Academy! When Ji Ning'er said this, her emotions suddenly became excited, she looked at Zhao Chen and said: "That day, he took those people to the island, and as soon as he saw the ancestor, those people went crazy and did it with the ancestor..."

"What about Jiang Chao?" When Zhao Chen heard this, he opened his mouth in surprise, looked at Ji Ning'er, who was obviously excited, and said, "What was Jiang Chao doing when those people were doing it?" ”

Counting up, Zhao Chen and Jiang Chao have also known each other for many years, and basically, he already understands what Jiang Chao is like.

At the beginning, he was able to chase directly from Chang'an to Lingnan, just because Zhao Chen said that he did not intend to rebel, and immediately returned to Yinmen, how could such a person be a traitor?

"He's gone!" Ji Ning'er's eyes showed a hint of resentment, and when she spoke, tears fell down her eyes: "From the time those people came to the island, he disappeared!" ”

"Missing?" When Zhao Chen heard this, he couldn't help frowning slightly again, looked at Ji Ning'er and asked, "What was the specific situation that day, you can tell me more carefully!" ”

Hearing Zhao Chen's words, Ji Ning'er hesitated slightly, then sat there and told Zhao Chen the events of that day.

Listening to Ji Ning'er, Jiang Chao was originally on the island that day, but later, a group of mysterious people suddenly came outside, asking to see Jiang Chao by name, saying that there was something important to talk about.

Later, Jiang Chao left the island to meet those people, and he didn't know what to say, anyway, when Jiang Chao came back, he had already brought those people with him.

Later, when Ji Ning'er knew, those people had already done something in the school palace, and then what happened after that was what Zhao Chen saw at this time, those people hurt the ancestor and fled the school palace.

"Did you hear from the bearded guest this year?" Zhao Chen listened to Ji Ning'er's words, frowned slightly and thought about it, and after a long time, he raised his head, looked at Ji Ning'er and suddenly asked.

"Nope!" When Ji Ning'er heard this, she shook her head at Zhao Chen, as if she felt that her expression was not clear enough, so she followed up and said, "Anyway, I haven't heard of it!" ”

The implication is that it is naturally about the bearded guest, and only Jiang Chao understands it!

This matter is full of strangeness, Zhao Chen doesn't believe that Jiang Chao is such a person, he was raised by the old man since he was a child, and his head was instilled with the old man's thoughts, no matter who he betrayed, it was impossible for him to betray the hidden door.

It's just that Jiang Chao has disappeared now, and even the news of the bearded guest is unknown at this time, so the only way to completely understand this matter is to find Jiang Chao and ask him face to face.

I talked with Zhao Chen for a while, probably because Zhao Chen came back, the tense nerves relaxed, and Ji Ning'er sat there and fell asleep quietly.

The elder brother who grew up suddenly became a traitor, and the ancestor he had relied on since he was a child was seriously injured and his life and death were unknown, and outside, he was surrounded by rebel legions.

This series of blows all came down suddenly, causing Ji Ning'er to feel physically and mentally exhausted for the first time in her life, until this moment, after Zhao Chen arrived, her mind relaxed, and she quietly fell asleep.

Quietly stood up, picked up a blanket, carefully covered Ji Ning'er, glanced at the old man Ji who was lying on the couch and was dying, Zhao Chen sighed quietly, and walked out of the room.

"Sir, Brother Xiaochao is not a traitor!" Outside the door of Old Man Ji, Liu Hu'er, who had not been seen for several years, was sitting in a wheelchair, and when he saw Zhao Chen coming out of it, he immediately explained to Zhao Chen.

"Well, why?" Zhao Chen pulled over a chair, sat opposite Liu Hu'er, dragged his chin with his palm, looked at the stubborn child in front of him who used to be a slum, and asked.

"It's the ancestor who said it!" Liu Hu'er lowered her head slightly, looked sad, looked at Zhao Chen and said, "Ancestor asked me to tell Mr. that Brother Xiaochao was also used, let Mr. not misunderstand!" ”

"What did the Ancestor say?" Hearing Liu Hu'er's words, Zhao Chen, who was originally sitting there thinking about things, suddenly stood up, looked at Liu Hu'er suspiciously, and said, "When did you say that?" ”

Old man Ji was seriously injured, and he was unconscious on the couch at this time, and listening to Liu Hu'er's tone, it was clear that Old Man Ji had woken up!

"It was when I was unconscious that day!" When Liu Hu'er heard Zhao Chen's doubtful words, he raised his head, his eyes were red, and there were tears on his face, he looked at Zhao Chen and explained: "I was in the ancestor's room that day, and I saw the ancestor being injured by them!" ”

Liu Hu'er has disabled legs, and since she came to Lingnan, she has been carried by Old Man Ji, so it is reasonable that Liu Huer can be in Old Man Ji's room.

Listening to Liu Hu'er, when those people entered Old Man Ji's room that day, Jiang Chao had already disappeared.

And when those people came in, Old Man Ji seemed to have sensed that something was wrong, so he hid Liu Hu'er as soon as possible.

"The man said before leaving, it's all... When Liu Hu'er said this, he suddenly looked at Zhao Chen, his face was flushed, and when he saw Zhao Chen looking at him with encouraging eyes, he gritted his teeth and said, "This is all forced by Mr." ”

"Wait..."When he heard this, Zhao Chen suddenly frowned, looked at Liu Hu'er suspiciously, and said, "You just said that the person said it when he left, that is to say, those people could have directly injured the ancestor at that time and left on their own, right?" ”

Ji Ning'er just said that it was because there were still masters in the school palace that she was spared the fate of Old Man Ji and being killed on the spot.

He originally thought that it was because of those masters who suddenly came forward that he frightened those people, but listening to Liu Hu'er's words at this time, it was obviously not the case.

"Hmm!" Liu Hu'er didn't dare to hide it in the slightest, and when she heard Zhao Chen's inquiry, she admitted it 1510, and the words fell, but she raised her head again, looked at Zhao Chen and said, "Sir, you shouldn't doubt Brother Xiaochao now!" ”

"Don't worry!" When Zhao Chen heard this, he stretched out his hand and patted Liu Hu'er's shoulder, sighed slightly, looked at Liu Hu'er and said, "Mr. also believes that your little brother Chao is being used!" ”

"When will that gentleman be able to avenge the ancestor?" Liu Hu'er has been getting along with Old Man Ji day and night in the past few years, and she has already been in a relationship, and at this time, seeing Old Man Ji injured like this, she naturally hated those people.

"Don't worry, no one can escape!" When Zhao Chen heard this, he couldn't help but be silent slightly, his eyes passed through the high wall of the school palace, and his tone suddenly said coldly.

Ji Ning'er may not have slept for a long time, but after falling asleep, she slept for several hours, and when she woke up, it was already evening.

When she woke up, there was no one in the house, Zhao Chen didn't know where she went, there was only one in the house, she and the ancestor on the couch, seeing that the ancestor was still dying on the couch, Ji Ning'er sighed slightly and walked out of the room.

"Awake?" When she walked out of the room, Ji Ning'er saw that Zhao Chen was sitting alone outside the door thinking about her thoughts, and when she saw her coming out of it, she immediately raised her head, looked at her and said, "Do you want to go boating in the lake at night?" ”?

"What?" Hearing Zhao Chen's brainless words, Ji Ning'er didn't react for a while, looked at Zhao Chen in a daze, and after a while, she asked suspiciously.

"Boating!" Zhao Chen chuckled lightly when he heard Ji Ning'er's question, and then raised his head, looked at the burning clouds in the distance, and said in a quiet tone: "I'm ready!" (To be continued.) )
