Xu Chong let go of Ziyu and blocked in front of her.

"Wu Yuanli." He said these three words slowly, in an unfamiliar tone, as if he had known Wu Yuanli on the first day.

Wu Yuanli had a smile on his face, but his fists were clenched, he had always been bad at hiding his heart, Xu Chong knew this, and he himself knew it. A cold sweat fell from Wu Yuanli's forehead, he hurriedly wiped it away, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and he gushed endlessly, "Lord Xu, where have you been, let's find it for a while." In the past few days, I can't eat well, I can't sleep, and I have a thought in my mind, that is, to find you, an adult. You see, in order to find you, my feet are all broken and swollen...... Yesterday, according to Lord Zhao's instructions, we expanded the scope of our search and went to this Ailao Mountain to look for you, but the snow road was difficult, and I was separated from a few of them...... But this is also a blessing in disguise, I actually found you here, I am really blessed by God......"

As he spoke, he wiped the cold sweat that kept falling on his forehead, his fists were still clenched, and his eyes didn't dare to stay on Xu Chong's cold face.

"Why is Lord Wu in a hurry to find me?" Xu Chong waited quietly for him to finish before asking lightly.

"Needless to say? Lord Xu, you are a celebrity in front of the emperor, and you are also the hot hand of our Maocheng, I don't know how many strange cases have been solved, and you have protected the safety of the people......"

"But I killed someone, and you just heard it."

Xu Chong stared at Wu Yuanli's panicked face, but Yu Guang had already seen the environment they were in. This is a bald cliff on the south side of Ailao Mountain, not far from where he fell, surrounded by strange rocks, but there is no one else hidden, except for the three of them. The other officials didn't follow, just like Wu Yuanli said, he was separated from them.

Xu Chong locked on Wu Yuanli's gaze, moved his foot to the side of Shang Fang's sword on the ground little by little, raised his toes under the hilt, held the sword in the palm of his hand, and aimed the blade at Wu Yuanli's neck.

Although Wu Yuanli heard Xu Chong admit to killing someone, he never thought that he would kill himself and kill his mouth, so he was stunned and did not move, his mouth opened a few times, and he couldn't say half a word, like a fish out of water.

"I have already thought about it, escape from this valley, and take Ziyu back to the mountains and forests, and from then on, there will be no more Xu Chong in this world. But why are you still reluctant to let me go? From Gyeonggi to Useong, wherever I flee, you will follow suit...... Why can't you let me go? ”

"Lord Xu," Wu Yuanli seemed to finally come back to his senses and waved his hand desperately, "Lord Xu...... The subordinate has always admired you very much, and has never framed you in front of others, but you say that, but you really wronged the lower official......"

Wu Yuanli stopped talking, because he found that something was wrong with Xu Chong's eyes, his eyes seemed to be beating, his pupils were sharp, and he was glowing with abnormal light, which was similar to his usual rigorous and indifferent appearance.

Wu Yuanli finally realized his situation, and after his eyes swept left and right a few times, he turned around and ran, but the buckle on his belt was hooked by the tip of Xu Chong's sword, and he couldn't break free, his body fell backwards, and he fell heavily on the snow.

The biting snow penetrated into his collar and boots, penetrated his clothes, and soaked his body into a cold one, but he didn't dare to look back, he listened to Xu Chong's footsteps, stepping on the thick snow, "clicking", like a dying funeral song.

Wu Yuanli knew that he couldn't escape this catastrophe, because he had never seen anyone who could escape from Xu Chong's men, but he didn't expect that this fate would befall him one day.

Why has the god-like man who made him bow and worship changed? Not only did you kill someone, but you want to kill yourself?

"I'm the county lieutenant of Maocheng, and I'm an official of the imperial court, you can't kill ...... Kill...... I," he shuddered, "no, Xu Chong, the two of us have known each other for so many years, how can you ...... Can ......"

Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden stabbing pain in his back, and Wu Yuanli opened his mouth to let out an "ah", knowing that Xu Chong's sword had pierced into the back of his heart, but the strange thing was that the sword only pierced a little and stopped, and did not go any deeper.

"You can't kill people, you are Xu Chong, how can you kill people?" Ziyu held the sword with her hand, and the blade cut her palm into a blur of flesh and blood, Xu Chong looked at it in his eyes, and his heart suddenly hurt, as if her fingers were connected to his heart.

"Xu Chong, you can't kill people, you'll regret it," Ziyu bent her legs and knelt on the ground, she looked at Xu Chong, her eyes were full of pity or pity, "I know that feeling, you will completely give up on yourself in your heart, without the bottom line, people will not live like people......"

She looked at him, her hand gripping the blade tighter, "Didn't you say that you want to find a wild place with me and live our own lives?" You let him go, I'll go with you, and no one knows where we went? No one will hold you accountable for what you have done before......"

Xu Chong shook his head and smiled at her, "Leave voluntarily, I am still a hero in their hearts; If I am forced to leave because I am being held by someone, Ziyu, I will become a fugitive from exile, do you understand? No matter where I go to the ends of the earth, I can feel their cold words, even if they are dead and enter the coffin, they will be poked in the backbone, saying, look, that Xu Chong is not a hot hand catcher at all, but an outlaw. ”

Speaking of this, he smiled and stared at Ziyu's face, "And kill him, not only for me, but also for ...... For you......"

Ziyu seemed to suddenly react to something, her hand left the hilt of the sword, and touched her face, her delicate skin was much rougher, and she could even touch the shallow lines on it.

"You haven't eaten anything in the past few days, God-given opportunity, don't miss it."

"No, Xu Chong, don't."

Ziyu was a step late, and the sword light in front of her eyes fanned, and the Shang Fang sword pierced through Wu Yuanli's body with lightning speed, piercing him before he could let out a scream.

"A person is dead, you can eat him," Xu Chong drew his sword back and laughed dryly, "I don't care if you eat people, so you don't have to feel ......"

"Do you really not care?" Ziyu was still staring at Wu Yuanli's corpse in a daze, but now he suddenly looked back at him, his eyes were dignified, something that had been suppressed for a long time seemed to be finally about to break out of the ground, "If you really don't care, I'll tell you the truth, twenty-eight years ago, the monster you saw outside the window of Wanjia was actually me." Xu Chong, I am Wan Wan, Wan Wan who killed Wan Wan of three in the Wan family. ”
