Chapter 62: A Dark Shadow in the Tree
If Li Cheng looked just desolate at first, then on this night, the scene that appeared in Chen Tongsheng's eyes could be described as tragic. It doesn't have to be how many people died or how many people were injured in the fire, just looking at the debris of the fire through the light and moonlight is enough to make people feel shocked.
A street burned from end to end, and a completely blackened tree burned like charcoal, and when you touched it with your hands, it was stained with black powder.
Chen Tongsheng deliberately let himself not look at Song Chuanbai, and everyone obviously heard something moving quickly, so they all kept the same breath and silence at this time.
Song Chuanbai took the lamp and walked a little way, and he could see a lotus lamp on the ground, and the pain that came from nowhere was densely flooded into his heart, like pricking with a small needle. He suddenly slowed down his pace, and naturally took Chen Tongsheng's hand weakly, and said softly, "Still dizzy?" I'll help you. ”
Chen Tongsheng didn't dare to look at Song Chuanbai's face, for fear that he would accidentally come again, he just wanted to open his mouth to refuse, but he felt that Song Chuanbai pulled her back, and he was puzzled, so he had to say "hmm" sullenly.
Fang Ming was very speechless, and couldn't help but sneer: "Master Hou is really considerate of each other. ”
There are many expressions of meaning, and Fang Ming wants to name Chen Tongsheng together. Chen Tongsheng turned her head away, but heard Song Chuanbai suddenly whisper in her ear: "If it's not a person, kill it." ”
His voice was usually clear, but at this time it was lowered, and he added an indescribable emotion, revealing a dull magnetism, like a few vibrating strings, each of which struck Chen Tongsheng's heart, and his chest buzzed and vibrated with it. Chen Tongsheng was stunned, and took a breath before reacting to what Song Chuanbai had just said.
If the person they found tonight had become the same person Du Shan was in the inn, then they would "kill" him.
Chen Tongsheng nodded silently, and Song Chuanbai withdrew his hand without any hesitation and walked forward again.
Chen Tongsheng took a breath, looking at Song Chuanbai's upright back, the lines of his waist from his shoulders were straight, and his tone of voice was lazy, in fact, most of the time, whether he was walking or sitting, his posture was very upright. This is probably the reason why Song Chuanbai always gives people invisible coercion, as if nothing can bend his back, whether it is the empress, the death of his best friend, or the constant fighting, life day after day.
She suddenly stopped, the white light flashed in her head, and the figure of a man gradually coincided with Song Chuanbai, the person suddenly stood with his hands behind his back, turned slightly sideways, and said with a smile: "Are you still willing to come with me, Gala?" Do you miss me? ”
....... What the?
He used the face that was exactly the same as Song Chuanbai, with a face full of banter and a very good-looking expression, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Look up, Gala." ”
Chen Tongsheng staggered up and took a step back, then noticed something, and raised his head suddenly!
She saw a pair of eyes.
A pair of eyes hidden in a tree, reflecting the light of a lantern.
Chen Tongsheng's heart was suffocated at the moment, before reaching out to get the dagger, she had instinctively rolled forward to dodge, almost at the same time, she heard the sound of a rustling above her head, Chen Tongsheng's movements did not have a trace of stagnation, got up and stepped behind Song Chuanbai, blocking him.
However, unexpectedly, the owner of those eyes had no intention of attacking people at all, and immediately fled away after landing on the ground, and disappeared into the darkness again.
"Yes, there are people." Chen Tongsheng said. Her mind was buzzing, and she barely stood still.
"See," Fang Ming said, "Chase or not." ”
Although he knew that there was no possibility, Song Chuanbai still asked: "Do you see what it is?" ”
"No," Chen replied, "it's too dark." ”
He paused, seemed to hesitate, and then asked softly, "Can't you feel the other party's figure too?" Can you tell if it's an adult or a child? ”
Chen Tongsheng shook his head, if she hadn't chosen to pounce on Song Chuanbai immediately, it would probably have been possible to see clearly, but unfortunately, when the owner of the eye landed, Chen Tongsheng happened to have his back to him, and he couldn't see it.
Song Chuanbai no longer embarrassed her, and said, "What does General Fang think? ”
"If Hou Ye is not afraid, of course he is chasing, but with the kung fu of speaking, the person has already run away without a shadow, right?"
"Not necessarily." Song Chuanbai had already picked up three lotus lamps in his hand, he looked at the lamps in his hand, and said in a low voice: "He has seen me, and he won't leave." ”
"Oh?" Fang Ming seemed to be really dissatisfied with Song Chuanbai, and he had to seize the opportunity to respond to him at all times: "Also, Hou Ye Longzhang Fengzi, he is very likable, and he likes everything when he sees it." ”
Chen Tongsheng felt that it was connotated.
Song Chuanbai was usually offended and unceremonious, but he was really not in the mood at this time, so he didn't look at Fang Ming, and continued to walk along the traces left by the lotus lantern.
Just like Fang Ming said, things happened too fast, they didn't see the thing on the tree hit that direction at all, and they didn't know much about Li Cheng, if they blindly chased it, it would be really time-consuming and laborious. Song Chuanbai felt that he would come back, if it was Zhou Mingze who jumped from the tree, then he would definitely come back.
Chen Tongsheng took two steps and said in a low voice: "The tree is, burnt and brittle. ”
Crisp.
It shows that there is a big man lying on his stomach on it, and he has been lying silently for so long, and when he jumps down, he does not cause too much movement and the branches break, this kind of thing is unlikely. Maybe a slender, light and petite woman. Chen Tongsheng thought so.
But she could feel that Song Chuanbai's face was gradually tense, as if she was clenching her teeth, so that the whole person became cold. It doesn't feel like nervousness.
"Remember what I just said." Song Chuan Baidao.
——————
With the departure of the black shadow, Chen Tongsheng's heartbeat gradually returned to normal, and his ears and eyes slowly became clearer.
Was she really affected by something?
By that black shadow?
The last time she was in such a similar situation was when Guo Zhai first saw the statue of Galahia, which came from the Northern Dynasty.
Galahia came from the Northern Dynasty.
Feiguang came from the Northern Dynasties.
What is the relationship between herself and the Northern Dynasty that can be influenced like this?
Could it be that her parents are descendants of the Northern Dynasty?
Could it be that she is a descendant of Galahia's blood?
Chen Tongsheng suddenly thought, Garahia, the person who was enshrined on the altar, will leave an heir? Although she was instilled a lot by Fang Heming, what kind of immortal went down to earth to meet a poor scholar and the two fell in love at first sight and had children, living the story of you carrying water and weaving cloth for me, and the husband and wife both returned home, but Chen Tongsheng did not think that Galahia would have children with anyone.
She just wanted to keep the teenager by her side, even if the other person was long dead, she would rather replace him with one similar person after another.
Oh, according to what Fang Heming told her, it is also very likely that they are the reincarnation of teenagers.
Wait, if this idea exists, that is to say, the mysterious man in her dream may be the reincarnation of the teenager, that is to say, Song Chuanbai is likely to be the reincarnation of the mysterious man, then he is the reincarnation of the teenager.
...... What a big show.
Chen Tongsheng let his idea be shocked.
Then she thought that when the mysterious man said, "You can go, leave your life behind" is something like this, then that is, Galashia is not really like a god, with an immortal body, she will die. Then she may also have a reincarnation.
Who is her reincarnation?
Of course, it should be Chen Tong, who has a memory-like dream......
Song Chuanbai turned his head, and inexplicably saw Chen Tongsheng suddenly raise his head expressionlessly, and twisted it hard against his face. The force was so great that Song Chuanbai felt pain when he looked at it. The piece of her face quickly turned red.
Song Chuanbai asked, "What are you doing?" ”
"Sleepy." Chen Tongsheng replied indifferently.
"It's okay," Song Chuanbai whispered: "If you feel uncomfortable, just say it, you don't have to be strong, you seem to be very sensitive to the Northern Dynasty, and you have had a similar situation in Guo's house before." It's not your problem, the Northern Dynasty is indeed evil. ”
Song Chuanbai was reaching out to find a reasonable explanation for the rude one she had before and comforting her.
Actually, there is a little bit of a personal problem for me. Chen Tongsheng thought silently, although this question came a little abruptly, as if someone had split the heavenly spirit cover with a palm in the book...... No, it was opened up to the second pulse of Ren Du.
But she really didn't want to touch Song Chuanbai's face. This is definitely Galahia's will.
...... If everything she saw about Galahia was true.
——————
Along the way, Song Chuanbai picked up a total of seven lotus lanterns, and finally they stopped at the gate of a courtyard. In the ordinary courtyard of a small house, the two doors were closed, and the seventh lotus lantern was sandwiched in the crack of the door, which had been completely flattened. Song Chuanbai carefully took it out, and subconsciously flipped his fingers, trying to stand up the deflated lotus petals.
When Chen Tongsheng saw his action, he immediately felt that this lotus lantern was not an ordinary paper fold used to trace his tracks. Judging from Song Chuanbai's reaction, it is very likely that they represent Zhou Mingze.
Before walking with Song Chuanbai, Chen Tongsheng always thought that Song Chuanbai was completely loyal to the empress, but now she felt from Song Chuanbai's words that this was not the case. Song Chuanbai and the empress may have been estranged for a long time, and the estrangement between the two is so deep that it shakes each other's kinship and Song Chuanbai's dragon skills.
In fact, it is true that the reason why Fang Ming turned his target to Song Chuanbai was because of his identity and weight in the eyes of the empress, and a large part of it was still due to the relationship between the Fang family and the hussar general.
The hussar general knew very well the truth that he must not be high, and he first took the eldest princess away from Kyoto, creating an image of the husband and wife who were dedicated to the country. On the other hand, he was very taboo about having too close contacts with other military generals who held a certain amount of power in the DPRK and China, or with the ministers of the DPRK and China. It's a little cautious.
And General Fang Lao was born as a hussar general's deputy general, almost a hussar general in the early years when the emperor was still a high-level person, and later the relationship between the Fang family and the hussar general was not close on the surface, but there were still many private contacts. Zhou Guanzhao chose to get rid of the Fang family, and there was a certain part of the consideration, which was to contain the hussar general and the eldest princess, and at the same time achieve the effect of deterring Song Chuanbai.
Song Chuanbai must have noticed the clue when his father was suddenly transferred out of the northwest and the foreign feudal clan took the opportunity to attack. So much so that when most of the ministers in the court agreed with Feng Xiwen to go to the northwest, they stood up and explained their opposition.
Zhou Guanzhao was not angry and impulsively released the death row prisoner Feng Xiwen, she probably wanted to release this mad dog for a long time.
Fang Ming just didn't understand why Song Chuanbai could clearly understand it, but he was still so passive.
Song Chuanbai persuaded his father to become the biggest help for Zhou Guanzhao to finally get on the dragon chair, and even did not hesitate to kill Zhou Mingze for this.
Now it seems that Zhou Guanzhao did not allow him any monstrous power, and the eunuchs who were favored by the previous dynasty could blind their masters to stir up the court, and he was only suppressed openly and secretly in the end.
Zhou Guanzhao is sometimes very favored, and he can praise Song Chuanbai as an immortal in front of the minister, praise her reliance on governing the Great Zhou, and praise it as a mirror of the emperor's self-examination, even if Song Chuanbai has publicly jumped out to contradict the emperor many times, he will never be like other courtiers, who dare to speak out only by relying on death advice.
General Fang once said that he saw Song Chuanbai refute Zhou Guanzhao word for word in the court, completely rejecting the emperor's new idea of trade. The green tendons on Zhou Guanzhao's forehead burst out, and he felt that he was about to summon someone to drag out this thing that didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and scared the courtiers of Song Chuanbai's faction into a cold sweat, and they were silent, for fear that they would be affected by the holy anger. There are those in the imperial history faction who can't hold back, and they sneer. However, the empress was silent for a while, and then she calmed down and said slowly: "What Aiqing said is that I owe it to consideration. ”
However, in terms of actual actions, Song Chuanbai was not recognized and tolerated by the empress.
Those who have been up and down in the court for a long time can see that the empress is actually holding Song Chuanbai.
Chen Tongsheng didn't understand these things at the time, she didn't know at all.
It's just that Song Chuanbai in Fang Heming's mouth, the Song Chuanbai she actually saw, the Song Chuanbai in his mouth, and even the man who was suspected of being Song Chuanbai in her dream, were different from each other. So Chen Tongsheng's perception of Song Chuanbai at that time was very complicated.
Now there is even one more thing that should not belong to her, and she is attracted to Song Chuanbai.
This step by step gave Chen Tongsheng a very weird feeling. This series of events developed too continuously, continuous explosions and fires, continuous deaths, continuous discoveries and overthrows, as if she had stepped into a curse since Fang Heming's death. Pushed onto a well-designed path.
Even Galahia's sudden appearance in her mind to the sudden change in her feelings for Song Chuanbai had already been scheduled. These things happened so suddenly, and it made her so hard to get rid of. Emotions are completely guided.
Chen Tongsheng looked around.
She seems to be exposed to someone's eyes.
