When Song Chuanbai stretched out his hand to the wooden door, Chen Tongsheng suddenly grabbed his wrist and said in a low voice, "Master Hou." ”

Song Chuanbai didn't know why, Fang Ming stood aside with his arms crossed, and tilted his head when he heard the words, wanting to see what they were doing.

"Someone, watching us." Chen Tongsheng said.

Song Chuanbai paused, and subconsciously asked, "Where is it?" ”

However, before he could speak, a black shadow suddenly rushed out from the opposite household of this house, and rushed straight towards Song Chuanbai.

Fang Ming's sword came out in response and followed the black shadow, but it seemed that the thing was just moving fast. At the moment when it was about to arrive, Chen Tongsheng had already turned around, and this time she finally felt that the other party really stretched out a hand, or maybe a claw, at Song Chuanbai, and fell into the air, rolled in place, and rushed back into the darkness.

Although the black shadow did not touch Song Chuanbai, because he subconsciously retreated, he hit the door, and the door actually opened.

The door slowly opened to both sides, and Chen Tongsheng wanted to confirm the situation inside, so he glanced through the gap and was stunned to see a figure hanging in mid-air.

The figure dangled in midair, and the shadows at his feet moved in the moonlight.

Song Chuanbai noticed her abnormality, so he also turned around and slowly reached out to open the door completely.

The clouds had dispersed in the night sky, and the moonlight was as clear as water, shining clearly in the courtyard, illuminating the body of the dead man.

It was a very young man, about the size of a teenager and a young man, who was hanged from a tree by a few strands of ribbon twisted up.

The courtyard was quiet, and the crowd stood still for a moment, not sensing the danger, so they walked into the courtyard.

Fang Ming was bolder, she let out a "huh" when she saw the corpse for the first time, and then stretched out two fingers, pinched the other party's jaw and looked at it.

The white-faced boy finally couldn't hold it anymore, and reminded loudly: "Fang Ming." ”

Fang Ming wiped his fingers on his clothes indifferently and said, "He was cut out of his tongue, how can I say that the hanged man didn't stick out his tongue." ”

Corpse Fang Ming had seen, there were no immortals in battle, but this man didn't look like he had just died, and when they approached him at first, they didn't smell the strong smell of corpses. Now that I get closer, I feel the pungent rancid smell, and if I hang it for a while, it will rot.

Chen Tongsheng found that Song Chuanbai's face was very strange at this time, he raised the lamp, his eyes looked at the dead man's eyes bulging for a moment, and his face was white and terrifying, and after half a sound, he whispered: "Put him down." ”

The man was put down, Song Chuanbai squatted down and was about to check it himself, I don't know what kind of psychology it is, Chen Tongsheng hurriedly said: "I'll come." ”

Song Chuanbai didn't say anything, so she searched the man in front of Song Chuanbai's hand, and when she raised her eyes again, she found that Song Chuanbai's eyes fell on her, and she wanted to stop talking.

There was only one piece of paper on the man's body, which read: "The letter is wrong, the wrong payment is wrong, why the hurry." ”

Payment, Zhou Mingze.

Song Chuanbai looked at the piece of paper for a moment, then handed it to Fang Ming and said, "Zhou Ming is dead." ”

Fang Ming was suspicious, looked at the paper, then at the corpse, and said unexpectedly: "He is the crown prince Zhou Mingze?" How, how did you die here? ”

Why didn't Zhou Ming die when Li Cheng was broken, but died in this seemingly non-threatening time?

Did you know they were coming? Or did he discover Fang Ming's activities and choose to commit suicide because he was afraid? Why didn't he choose to die here instead of the Jin Palace?

Song Chuanbai said: "I just thought, I'm afraid the fire here was not caused by thieves." There are people or things hidden here that cannot be discovered, and after being exposed, some people choose to evict the surrounding residents in this way. ”

The fire burned to the door of this ordinary house, burning the door to pitch black, but it did not burn the yard and did not endanger the house.

"It's worthy of Master Hou, I easily thought of an explanation that I couldn't think of, admire." Fang Ming said decently, but there was no sincere expression on his face: "In other words, this Zhou Ming survived for a while after the fire, and then suddenly committed suicide?" Why is he? Could it be that the Hou Ye scared the crown prince? ”

Song Chuanbai didn't answer, he stared at the face for another moment, stood up and said, "I don't know." ”

Fang Ming didn't recognize Zhou Mingze, and she hadn't seen the empress, so she couldn't infer the slightest possibility from the similarity of kinship, but she sneered: "However, Zhou Mingze didn't die at the hands of Hou Ye at an early age, how could he grow so big and die in Licheng, which is so far away from Kyoto?" ”

"It's just a trick for a tanuki to change a prince." Song Chuanbai said briefly. The attitude speaks for itself.

Fang Ming still felt very strange, and led people into the house to search, but Song Chuanbai seemed to have suddenly lost interest in this, and just stood and looked at the people on the ground.

Chen Tongsheng whispered: "Master Hou, are you buried?" ”

"What's the matter," Song Chuanbai laughed when he heard this: "Why don't you treat yourself as a girl at all?" ”

Chen Tongsheng didn't know why, Song Chuanbai continued: "It's not that you are told to do everything, this kind of corpse that doesn't know how long it has been dead, it's better to touch it less." I also value your hands a little more expensive,"

As soon as Chen Tongsheng's heart moved, Song Chuanbai immediately said: "This is the hand holding the sword, not for coolies." ”

"......" Chen Tongsheng thought about the appearance of practicing hard work on weekdays, and didn't think there was any difference between this and hard work. I didn't figure out Song Chuanbai's hypocrisy. What's more, when I saw blood in the weekday fighting, it was not as clean as it was.

"Master Hou's hands are beautiful." Chen Tongsheng said, looking down at his hands covered with calluses and cut scars between his fingertips: "I don't need to pay attention to my hands." ”

"Drifting is not beautiful and not paying attention to it is two different things, according to you, people who are not beautiful by nature don't have to dress up their appearance?" Song Chuanbai's smile was very shallow, it was just a polite smile deliberately shown because he was talking to her: "I never thought so." ”

Chen Tongsheng: "Hmm. ”

Song Chuanbai carefully put away the lotus lanterns, Chen Tongsheng felt very strange, his attitude towards the lamps was completely different from the attitude towards corpses.

He recognized Zhou Mingze's face, if he saw Zhou Mingze's lifeless face at the beginning, and recognized the outline of his facial features similar to that of the young Zhou Mingze, the whole person was depressed and silent. So after the corpse was put down and examined, and the final tone was Zhou Mingze, he regained his usual calm, and even had the heart to say a few words to Chen Tongsheng.

They found Zhou Mingze along this lamp, and it seemed impossible to say that it was unrelated, but Song Chuanbai's previous subtle movements made Chen Tongsheng feel that it was really too different from now, she couldn't help but take a step forward and said in a low voice: "Is this this, Zhou Mingze?" ”

What she wants to ask is, is this really Zhou Mingze? Or did you already recognize it, but you just happened to deceive Fang Ming and avoid people's eyes?

Song Chuanbai did this kind of thing, in order to protect Chen Tongsheng, he acquiesced in ordering Wang Chengnan to be arrested as her.

He seemed to have a smile on his face, revealing a little indescribable helplessness, glanced at Chen Tongsheng, then lowered his eyes, and said, "It's him." ”

I don't know what happened to the kings who were hooked by beauties in folklore, but Chen Tongsheng felt at that moment what it means to be beautiful and misguided.

No wonder people like Galahia are also deceived into staying in the world again and again!

Chen Tongsheng's heart jumped suddenly, and he immediately retreated like an electric shock, and accepted Song Chuanbai's sentence "It's him" with kindness, and stammered: "Then you want, you want, you want to bury, bury?" ”

Song Chuanbai was surprised why she suddenly stuttered so badly. Chen Tong pays attention to what he talks on weekdays, but he is not particularly stumbling.

Before he could say anything, Fang Ming searched the side of the house and came out empty-handed, apparently not finding anything useful.

"Bury what?" Fang Ming heard the last sentence, and said as he walked: "Take the body away." ”

Song Chuanbai frowned: "It's already like this, where can you take it?" ”

"Even if you want to go back to Beijing to report to the empress, Lord Hou must be able to convince people, right?" Fang Ming leaned over slightly towards Song Chuanbai: "Lest the time comes, someone wants to falsely accuse Hou Ye, pretend to be true, and let the real Zhou Ming not arrest him, but take the dead to deal with the errand, and be charged with a 'tanuki for the prince, intending to rebel', but it's not good." What do you think? ”

"That's right," Song Chuanbai said, "However, I only brought these people, and it was very difficult to transport the corpses back." ”

"It's okay," Fang Ming said: "I will send someone to be responsible for transporting it, just go to the town near Licheng, and then temporarily put the body in the yamen, and wait for the Hou Ye to return to Beijing to report to the empress, and then send someone to pick it up." ”

"Then General Fang is going to go back?"

Fang Ming laughed and said, "Yes, I'll go back." She patted the people around her and pushed the white-faced boy in front of them: "As a guarantee, he will also follow Hou Ye back to Beijing." ”

"Kong Meng, the brother of the guerrilla general Kong Shun at Fengmen Pass."

Chen Tongsheng didn't expect this young man to be treated like this at all, and his expression froze.

Song Chuanbai just said: "I must have followed General Fang for many years, and I was willing to do it." ”

"Which of my brothers didn't fight for his life like I fought for many years, regardless of life or death." Fang Ming said: "As long as Hou Ye fulfills our agreement, Kong Meng will never go against Hou Ye, on the contrary, he will cooperate with you very much." I'm not going to let you out of Licheng for nothing. Naturally, although Kyoto still has to rely on Hou Ye to do things, if we can't talk here, then there is no need to let you go back alive, what does Hou Ye think? ”

Song Chuanbai was looking at Kong Meng, his complexion was very white, and Fang Ming's kind of martial arts practice was completely different, his eyes were slender, his eyelids were restrained, and he looked very delicate.

He didn't care if Kong Meng went to Kyoto, but Fang Ming's words made him realize that Kong Meng, or Fang Ming, was in Kyoto. He promised Fang Ming here, so in fact, no matter whether Zhou Mingze is still alive or not, he is involved in the royalists, to put it bluntly, he privately colluded with the royalists, and as soon as he returned to the capital, he would be immediately known.

Kong Meng is nothing more than an identity card.

He is Fang Ming's blatant but useless eyes in Kyoto, a tiny connecting point, and more importantly, his presence and safety are the guiding light of Song Chuanbai's attitude.

Fang Ming paused, and then said, "What General Kong meant, is also what I meant. Kong Meng wants to come back alive, intact, and healthy. ”

Fang Ming said: "This is not a difficult thing for Hou Ye, right?" ”

"It's very difficult," Song Chuanbai replied: "When I can't guarantee my innocence, I have no choice but to make the relationship between Kong Meng and General Fang public, after all, I am just a person who has been innocently affected by family feuds." ”

Fang Ming gritted her teeth, stared at Song Chuanbai with sharp eyes, and sneered: "How could Master Hou have that kind of time?" ”

"In short, if the Hou Ye agrees, then Kong Meng will then be stuffed into Kyoto by Kong Shun for an opportunity, if he doesn't agree...... I selfishly still hope that Hou Ye agrees, after all, I don't want to be an outlaw for the time being, and I run for Hou Ye's life, which is too worthwhile. Fang Ming originally intended, and he didn't want to threaten Hou Ye like this, which would be of little benefit to me. ”

"Hou Ye is a smart person, and the hussar general also promoted the other party's family a lot in his early years...... Fang Ming said meaningfully: "What does Hou Ye think? ”

She can be said to put the pros and cons on the bright side and make the final determination.

Zhou Ming died, and she had no new emperor to support, so she concentrated on bringing down the courtiers who participated in the design.

She had to be positively assured.
