Chapter 19: The Mystery of Life
Chen Tongsheng slowly swayed back to his room, and met a servant girl who was obviously sent by the envoy to pass the word halfway, and his eyes rolled wildly: "Miss Chen, Sister Zhilan said...... She's looking for you for something. ”
Chen Tongsheng walked out of the Water Pavilion Flower Garden, went to the courtyard, and pushed the door, and a fierce wind rushed towards him. Chen Tongsheng instantly raised his hand to block, and at the same time, the handle of the knife on his waist slid out, and Chen Tongsheng's other hand took advantage of the situation, and the blade rushed straight to the opposite door.
The man leaned back to dodge, but Chen Tongsheng not only did not stop, but took the opportunity to squeeze the man's waist. Zhilan screamed in pain, and went over to grab Chen Tongsheng's hand. Who knew that Chen Tongsheng raised his head, slammed into Zhilan's head. This sound was crisp and loud, Zhilan's head buzzed for a moment, and before she could get angry, the next second Chen Tongsheng bent his knees and kicked Zhilan out two or three meters away.
"Are you a wolf? Headbutt people! As soon as Zhilan turned over, she was angry.
"It's people." Chen Tongsheng put the knife back into its sheath, stood at the gate of the courtyard and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
In the distance in the courtyard stood a group of people, both men and women, most of whom were dressed in the same clothes as Zhilan. The long sleeves were rolled up, and inside were arrow sleeves tied with short daggers, and the long hair was pulled high, and two soft darts could be removed from the hair band. If Fang Xuanlin was there, he would recognize that this was the group of girls who were laughing outside the Feiliu Pond and went to pull Wang Mu.
Fang Xuanlin thought that Hou Ye's golden house was beautiful, but he didn't know that it was a room of dead men dressed in beautiful skins.
"In the Hou Mansion, except for the guards, there are only us who can be equipped with swords." Zhilan shook her hand, and a cold light flashed on her fingertips: "Since you have entered the Hou Mansion, you must always have a place." Hou Ye said that from now on, you will do things with me, then I will also see if you have the ability to do this! ”
Chen Tongsheng said: "Actually, I haven't ...... yet"
Before she finished speaking, Zhilan had already rushed up, she was obviously not good at hand-to-hand combat, and she was still far away, so she threw the cold light in her hand.
Chen Tongsheng dodged, deliberately approached, pulled Zhilan closer, and then stabbed.
This sound was very weak, and even Zhilan didn't notice it at first, but when Chen Tongsheng quickly retreated and retreated directly outside the hospital, she noticed the coolness on her waist, and subconsciously touched it, and was surprised to find that the fabric on her waist was cut by Chen Tongsheng with a knife!
Zhilan's shirt was directly cut into two parts, the lower and the upper parts, and the middle was completely disconnected, and there was no connection at all. This knife is not only fast and stable, but also requires a circular trajectory to be cut around the person's waist, and Chen Tongsheng did this, just in that moment, the knife was drawn, and the knife was withdrawn, and the action was simply and neatly.
Zhi's face turned red instantly, and she covered her waist: "You bastard!" ”
Chen Tongsheng put his hand together, blinked, and showed an innocent expression: "I want to say, I still haven't ...... yet."
At this time, a figure descended from behind Chen Tongsheng and swooped straight at the short knife on her waist, Chen Tongsheng grabbed the back of the person's neck by mistake in an instant, and lifted his knee at the same time. Click. The sneak attacker is jaw is not misaligned, and it is not far off.
Chen Tongsheng threw the person to the ground: "I haven't ...... yet"
Before the words came out, someone in the courtyard shouted: "You let go of Hachi!" "It swooped up like a gale.
Chen Tongsheng solved him within ten steps, took a breath and continued: "Listen to me, finish the words, no, no......"
Another man in the courtyard shouted, "I don't believe in you!" Immediately, he rushed in front of Chen Tongsheng in a few steps.
“……”
After a stick of incense, a table was set up in the side courtyard, Chen Tongsheng angrily slammed the table, she stood on the chair, and pointed to the paper in her hand: "Read!" ”
The first person in the crowd was the one who had been cut off her clothes, and most of the rest of the people were also discouraged, either with a bag on their eyes, or covering a certain part of their body, looking at the paper in frustration, and reading in unison: "First, you should act only after others have finished speaking." ”
"Second, don't just laugh at people who have communication disabilities such as stammering."
"Third, if you can't fight, you should be self-aware, retreat in time, and not waste the opponent's time with crowd tactics."
……
It took Chen Tongsheng two and a half hours to subdue the people in this courtyard. Especially that Zhilan, who was extremely persistent, fought and lost, defeated and fought, and the two sleeves also made Chen Tongsheng cut, and at this time he dragged his broken sleeves, his expression was very frustrated.
"I haven't yet, I didn't promise Master Hou. What are you anxious about! Chen Tongsheng said: "If you want to leave or stay, I will say it myself, and I have the final say!" ”
Yansha squeezed lightly to Zhilan's side: "Look at this stammer, isn't it quite cute?" ”
Zhilan snorted coldly: "She has the final say." She could have the final say, and she wouldn't be here now. ”
"Do you know who she was taught by?"
"Who?"
"Fang, crane, Ming." Yansha blinked: "Is it balanced now?" ”
This name really calmed Zhilan's resentment, and she was stunned. At this time, Chen Tongsheng jumped out of the chair and slapped the paper on the table: "There is nothing else, nothing else, I will leave." ”
Zhilan took a step forward: "Wait! ”
"They said that you learned from Fang Heming, so you can be so powerful. But no matter how powerful it is, it is difficult for ordinary people to maintain the same level for several hours in a row, and they will not be affected by consumption at all...... How did you do that? ”
These people in the courtyard are not ordinary people who don't know how to fight and kick, they are all selected from the shadows, and later become the private dead soldiers of the palace. Zhilan was sent to the dark department early because her illegitimate son could not see the light, and then she was taken home to marry to make profits for the family. None of them are easy to deal with.
Chen Tongsheng was able to subdue them all without bloodshed, and his inner strength and endurance were extremely terrifying.
Chen Tongsheng thought for a moment, and then slowly lifted up the two sleeves to show them the hideous scars on his hands. Her arms are very different from ordinary women's, as long as she exerts force, her skin can be seen to be tense and show a very hard texture. A thin layer of muscle covered the bones, making her look extremely refined.
"My original, memory ......," Chen Tongsheng said, "is the battlefield." ”
……
Her life ...... Every time Chen Tongsheng tried to reminisce, he found that his life was as broken and chaotic as a dream.
She remembered the battlefield she had seen when she was younger, and she remembered looking down at the bones all over the ground from her warhorse. But these memories also remain headless and tailless.
Why am I on the battlefield? Where am I doing what? How did I get to Kyoto from the border and how did I get into Yatenji?
She didn't know, she didn't know.
Sometimes dreaming, dreaming of the overthrown dynasty, dreaming of a trembling mad emperor, Chen Tongsheng often thinks: Is this true?
Who are my parents and where are they? Where is my home?
All she knew was that she was on the battlefield as soon as she opened her eyes, and then she appeared in the Heavens Division when she opened her eyes. Fang Heming singled her out of the crowd, but he never cared about her background.
Chen Tongsheng was born to fight, born to fight, Fang Heming was not surprised by this, and even took the initiative to increase the amount of tasks for her.
During the training in the shadows, the other children made the training cry and call their mothers, and they couldn't crawl on the ground, and the sweat soaked the ground under their bodies. Chen Tongsheng silently carried the heavy object of his partner next to him, his pace was steady, and he even had the strength to walk back and forth. After that, she was called "Libi Xuanwu", and someone always asked her to pull out the weeping willows.
Chen Tongsheng always wondered, why is she like this?
Why stammered, why was he so talented, but unfortunately I couldn't understand it, so I had to blame it all on the battlefield.
If it is the child of a soldier, and he grew up on the battlefield border as a child, and he is used to seeing this, it is not so strange to think about it, right?
As for the dynasty in the dream, there is no shadow.
The Great Zhou Dynasty lasted for a hundred years, and the last dynasty was four or five hundred years ago, could it be that she lived for hundreds of years without getting old?
Chen Tongsheng withdrew his hand: "Finished reading?" ”
She was in the middle of a room of complicated eyes, and she took her hands again and paced slowly.
"Is she the ......?"
Zhilan finally remembered: "The famous 'Libi Xuanwu' for a while? ”
"Oh, I made two bets that he would uproot the weeping willows upside down - is it a girl?"
"Yes, yes, I heard that 'Libi Xuanwu' finally followed Fang Heming."
“…… Wasn't she arrested when she was in Kushui Village? ”
Chen Tongsheng's steps froze suddenly, and he turned around and shouted, "Kushui Village?!" ”
That Kushui Village, where Fang Heming took her to hide for several months, was finally found and killed on the spot? The bitter water village that was set on fire to the village?
Chen Tongsheng walked back and said, "Who was arrested and caught?" ”
The man who spoke looked at each other with his companion: "Fang Heming's disciple, who killed his father and slaughtered the village, has been escorted to Dali Temple...... But I don't know what the man's name is, but I know that he was caught in Kushui Village. ”
Chen Tongsheng asked, "Master Hou knows about this?" ”
"The Kushui Village case is related to the Fengchi Wharf Feiguang case, which has already alarmed the Three Law Divisions." Zhilan said: "Isn't it possible that Master Hou doesn't know? ”
It's no wonder that the dark department hasn't found Chen Tongsheng for so long, even if Fang Heming is dead. At the beginning, she was sent to prison for the dead ghost, and Song Chuanbai carried her around in the Mi Tiansi. Except for the acquaintance with Chen Tongsheng, no one knows who Chen Tongsheng is now.
——————
The cell was dark and cold, and the foul smell of fishy and moldy permeated the cell all year round. The jailer carried the lamp, looked through the room by room, and finally found the cell, so he put the lunch box in his hand on the ground: "Chen Tongsheng, get up and eat!" ”
The prisoner inside immediately turned over and sat up, and grabbed the door of the cell: "I'm not Chen Tongsheng!" ”
The jailer pursed his lips, not intending to listen to the prisoner's quibbles, and bent down to pass the bowl of food in it, closed the lid and was about to leave.
"I'm really not Chen Tongsheng, I'm not! I'm Wang Chengnan! You can check it out! The prisoner stretched out his hand and grabbed the hem of the jailer's clothes: "You have found it!" ”
"Your bow is engraved with the words Chen Tongsheng, and you still don't recognize it? Don't do evil if you're afraid of death! The jailer went to break her hand.
"That's what I picked up! The bow I picked up! I don't know who Chen Tongsheng is! She clung to it, her face pressed against the fence, and her facial features were almost deformed: "That! Then let me write a letter, and I beg you to help me deliver a letter, just one! ”
The jailer pulled his clothes hard: "Who dares to send it to you?" ”
While the two were at a stalemate, another younger jailer came running quickly and shouted, "Shaoqing of Dali Temple wants to see her!" ”
