After Liu Chengqian fell into the water, he kept fluttering. By this time, the pirate ship had flipped more than halfway on its side and began to spin, which was a precursor to sinking. The sea water formed a funnel at the bottom of the ship, and the whirlpool around it continued to intensify, dragging Liu Chengqian under the water. It was as if the dead were swarming under the water, dragging him down to the bottom of the ocean.

Liu Chengqian swayed his body in despair, desperately trying to straighten up. His pale face was no longer hideous, but like a frightened child. He cried out "Mommy, Mommy" and burst into tears as he helplessly stretched out his arms to the front.

I suddenly felt unbearable in my heart, and I wanted to throw a lifebuoy over. But it was too late, and the white foam gathered like a shroud and wrapped him in pieces. Liu Chengqian made a few turns, first his body, then his head, and finally his outstretched arms, and he was swallowed up by the whirlpool along with the pirate ship. A few big waves crashed over, and the sea returned to calm.

I stood on the deck, gasping for air, a little limp. In that series of fights just now, if I was not careful, I would be the one who died at the bottom of the sea.

It wasn't until this moment that I had time to think about what was going on with the explosion.

One explosion, maybe an accident, two explosions, maybe a coincidence, but three in a row, definitely premeditated. And except for the third sound, which was obviously inside the pirate ship, the first two were coming from the deep sea. I think of the gesture when I said goodbye to the medicine, could it be that this series of explosions was secretly planned by him?

This...... Is it just medicine, otherwise the life and death promised to me?

When I think about this, my heart sinks. There are still nine pieces of chai porcelain in the Fugong number, how can you get it so fried? What's more, what about medicine itself?

I leaned on the railing and looked down, the pirate ship had been completely engulfed, and in addition to fine pieces of wood, there were also fragments of diving equipment floating on the surface of the nearby sea, and it seemed that I could see something that looked like a severed human limb.

My mind went blank, and the series of things in front of me was beyond my comprehension. From the beginning of Tangwang Temple, I vaguely guessed that Yao Ran and Lao Chao Feng were not of the same mind, and I could probably see just now that the real purpose of Yao Ran was to find the remains of Yao Shenxing. But what I never expected was that he was so resolute and put the old court's men and horses, precious firewood porcelain and himself into it? The ruthlessness of this method is beyond common sense.

I've seen what he's trying to do, but why on earth is he doing it?

I looked across the Aotori Maru and saw two pirates running around the deck like headless flies. This shocking change really scared them stupid, and they were completely overwhelmed. Professor Zheng lay on the bow of the boat, staring blankly at the bottom of the sea, as if he was stupid.

I realized that this was not the end of the story! I hurriedly ran off the deck and first released the crew members of Salvage No. 08 who were locked in the bottom warehouse, as well as Yao No, Dai Haiyan, Zhong Shan and others.

The seafarers in the bottom silo were holding inside, and they were already desperate. I was overjoyed to see that it was me who opened the door. I briefly explained the situation to everyone, and the captain immediately rushed to the communication room to contact the marine police; The first mate took a few sailors and prepared to unload the lifeboat and counterattack the Blue Bird Maru. The pirate ship has sunk, and the pirates and old pilasmen on the Blue Bird Maru are the turtles in the urn.

The medicine is not frowning and asking me about the whereabouts of the medicine. I shook my head a little apprehensively: "There were two explosions under the sea, the situation is unknown, and I didn't see him float up." Yao didn't say: "No one would be stupid enough to get close to the ** he placed, he must have run away from a distance." ”

There was a strong lack of confidence in his tone, which is rare in medicine. I didn't say anything because I didn't know how to pick it up. Yao was silent for a moment, and moved his gaze to my right hand: "So, out of ten pieces of firewood porcelain, only this one is left in your hand?" ”

I looked down and saw that the teacup in my hand had been smashed in half, and there were still stains of blood on the broken ballast. Strictly speaking, it's only half a piece. Yao didn't look at the only remaining piece of firewood porcelain, with mixed feelings, and couldn't help muttering: "This muddy boy's thoughts, no one can guess it." ”

The debris floating on the surface of the sea slowly gathered together to form a big question mark, like the face of the hippie smiling face of the medicine. Yao didn't slap the railing hard, and his eyelids behind the lenses were shaking slightly, allowing his emotions to flow out. The last time I saw him like this, it was in Yaolai's bedroom kowtowing to his grandfather's portrait.

The lifeboats were quickly ready, and the crew found two AK-47 rifles left by the pirates. We let Dai Haiyan stay at Salvage 08, then jumped on the lifeboat and drove towards the Blue Bird Maru, and handed over the two AK-47s to the two crew members who had served in the Navy, so that even if the enemy resisted, they would have the strength to fight.

Two explosions on the bottom of the sea and the sinking of the pirate ship killed at least a dozen pirates. Now there are no more than five people left on the Blue Bird Pill, and then there are Professor Zheng and Lao Chaofeng. This time, there is really no way to escape! So I have to kill it no matter what.

Halfway through our lifeboats, we opened fire first, killing two of the pirates on deck who were still in a daze. The rest of the people scattered and fled in all directions, looking for cover to hide, but no one thought of intercepting us.

This is the pirate nature, too selfish. We risk being hit in the volley, and now that there is no command, no one wants to pick this head.

When we approached the Blue Bird Maru, the deck was empty. I, Yakubu, and a few first mates hurriedly boarded the deck and searched around, only to see the bodies of Yakushin and Kunio Izumida resting next to the winch, and before they could properly keep it, there was only a plastic sheet underneath.

Yao didn't see this scene, he helped his glasses, and his eyes turned red. This is also his own grandfather, who has heard medicine and talked about it countless times.

I'm noncommittal. Although Yao Shenxing is commendable in terms of personal morality, he sold the stolen goods for the Tanglin robbery case before, and then assisted Quantian to come to the East China Sea to retrieve treasure, which is not a hero's doing. Because of the face of the medicine, I can't say anything, but the medicine is cautious about these actions, which can also be regarded as a kind of traitor.

Don't forget, he's also an old pilgrim.

Thinking of this, I suddenly looked up at the high cab. The old pilgrimage of the past has been reduced to corpses; Now this old courtier is close to me. This has been a grievance for many years, and today no matter what, it must be completely settled.

We rushed all the way down the gangway from the deck to the next level of the Blue Bird Maru. It was a relatively narrow quartered quarters for the crew, and the pirates hid by the starboard passage, where they resisted stubbornly due to their location. A heavy exchange of fire ensued between the two sides, and the scene became a stalemate.

I didn't have a gun, so I hid behind it, and suddenly I saw a small hatch next to me, and from inside there was a rhythmic crashing sound. It's a utility room, so small that it leaks through without care. I looked in through the round window and found Fang Zhen inside, knocking the door with a mop pole.

I quickly unlocked the door and let him out. Fang Zhen had no resentment of being trapped, nor did he have the surprise of being rescued. He briefly recounted what had happened before. After the pirates occupied the Blue Bird Maru, he did not resist in order to ensure the safety of the others. They locked Shen Yunchen and the Japanese in the bilge, but Professor Zheng knew Fang Zhen very well and knew that this guy was definitely not to be underestimated, so they kept him alone in this small room.

I gave a general description of the situation, and this time even Fang Zhen, who had always been calm, showed a surprised expression: "Otherwise, the medicine will blow up both ships?" ”

I said it was quite possible, but everything was uncertain. Fang Zhen was silent, even he had to take some time to digest the news, which showed how abrupt this matter was.

"Forget it, let's get the matter in front of you first." Soldiers are very realistic, and if you can't figure it out, you will put it aside first. Fang Zhen turned his head to look at the battlefield, and the two sides were still shooting at each other with one shot and one shot at me, and he stretched out his hand at me: "Did you use my gun?" ”

I'm not too embarrassed to say that I'm running out of bullets. Fang Zhen let out an "oh", walked over and patted a crew member on the shoulder, and took the AK-47 over. As soon as he grasped the gun, his whole person changed all at once. It used to be a rock that was too stable to be stable, but now the rock cracked, and a sharp spear pierced from it.

The pirates' counterattack was still lively, and they were all frantically slamming their guns to the end, and the ship was full of white smoke, but it was not accurate. Fang Zhen bent over and looked for a cover with extremely standard tactical movements. He occasionally fired back lightly, each time with three bursts of fire, each time a scream was heard. This is simply Xiao Li's flying knife, once it is shot, there is no false hair.

After a few rounds, the gunfire on the opposite side stopped. The pirates all bounced in their eyebrows and lay on the ground. Fang Zhen squatted down and briefly examined the corpse, with no trace of color on his face, as if this scene was not worth mentioning to him at all.

I looked at the corpses all over the ground and felt a shudder. If it weren't for the medicine, the sudden backlash would have been us. Fang Zhen didn't say anything, but I could see his expression, and he must still be hiding his back hand.

Suddenly, a desperate roar came from the corridor in the distance.

"Come here again, I'll kill her!"

I and the medicine are not turning our heads to look over. I saw that at the end of the tunnel, Professor Zheng used a knife to cross Shen Yunchen's throat, strangled her neck, and stood on the edge of the gangway near the stern. A crew member who salvaged No. 08 raised a gun at him, but did not dare to shoot.

Shen Yunchen's eyes were closed, his body was stiff, and he had no intention of resisting.

No wonder I didn't see him just now, it turned out that he ran down the bilge to take the hostages. Professor Zheng knew that if he captured the Japanese expedition members, he might not be able to restrain us, and Shen Yunchen was the best hostage.

Sure enough, this time, we didn't dare to move.

"Surrender, Professor Zheng. Now you and the old courtier are already the commanders of the light pole. "I tried to shout.

"Stand back!" Professor Zheng's knife sank into Shen Yunchen's neck again, "You go and prepare a lifeboat and ten days of food for me immediately, otherwise Yunchen will die!" ”

I looked at him with pity. The Professor Zheng I am familiar with is dead, and the crazy genes of the Zheng family have completely corroded his mind and sanity. Now he is just a poor worm at the end of his rope.

Shen Yunchen suddenly opened his eyes and shouted, "Leave me alone!" Kill him, this man is already crazy! ”

"You're crazy!" Professor Zheng shouted angrily, the nerves on his forehead were exploding, "What do you think? That's chai porcelain! The world's only firewood porcelain! It's blown up, it's blown up. How can you? How dare you? This is a treasure worthy of being passed down for thousands of years, and you ...... for your own personal vendetta," he said, and his end note was almost whimpering.

At this time, this porcelain maniac actually cared about porcelain.

Fang Zhen wanted to rush over while he was in a trance, but I stopped him. That guy still has a knife in his hand, I don't know what will happen, Old Lady Shen is now the pillar of the five veins, and there can't be any problems.

I stepped forward, and Professor Cheng waved his knife and told me to step back. I took out the half of the tea cup from my pocket: "Teacher Zheng, what do you see here?" Professor Zheng's breathing suddenly became heavy. He thought that ten pieces of firewood porcelain would be buried at the bottom of the sea, but he didn't expect that there was still one left. He was so pleasantly surprised that he almost forgot about his environment.

"You...... Where did you get that? He asked repeatedly.

"The first time I dived, I took one and came back. It's a pity that there are only half of them now. ”

I held the teacup higher, just as the first clear rays of sunlight after the storm shone down like a magician's hand brushing the celadon surface. At that moment, a layer of indescribable light appeared on the warm glaze, and the hundreds of years of seclusion on the bottom of the sea were covered with dust, giving it a more restrained and deep antiquity. Although it is a remnant, the graceful and elegant temperament has been precipitated to become more and more pure. It was also the first time I noticed that the color was really as blue as the sky after the rain.

Professor Zheng couldn't stop trembling, he stared at the half of the teacup, and muttered: "The rain is clear and the clouds are broken, the rain is clear and the clouds are broken, the rain is clear and the clouds are broken, and the rain is clear and the clouds are broken...... Show me, hurry, get closer......"

I squeezed the teacup in my hand and passed it slowly. My original intention was to use chai porcelain to attract Professor Zheng's attention and create opportunities for Fang Zhen. Unexpectedly, as soon as Professor Zheng saw Chai Porcelain, he didn't even want a hostage, pushed Shen Yunchen to the ground, rushed past me and desperately tried to grab this Chai porcelain. I was careless, and the chai porcelain was knocked out of his hand by him and flew into the air. Professor Cheng and I raised our heads and stretched out our hands at the same time, as if we were serving a basketball, and our fingertips touched the tea cup at the same time.

The teacup was touched hard by both sides, and suddenly it shook and crossed a graceful arc over the railing and fell towards the sea. Before I could react, I heard a deafening roar: "No! ”

It wasn't a roar like a human could make, and I suspect the vocal cords would be torn apart. At the same time, the black shadow flickered in front of my eyes, and Professor Zheng jumped out of the railing without hesitation, and the whole person was like an osprey, reaching out to grab the tea cup that fell into the water. It's a pity that he was a step too late after all, and the little teacup plopped, splashed a tiny splash, and fell towards the bottom of the sea. In this complex deep-sea water area of the seabed, falling into the water is equivalent to complete destruction, and there is no possibility of recovery.

A bigger splash then splashed and Professor Cheng fell into the water. We saw him frantically flutter twice, take a deep breath, plunge headfirst into the water, and swim into the deep sea. The people on the deck all looked stupid, didn't Professor Zheng die if he swam into the water so naked? There's a big trench across the head, and even if you really dig into it, you won't be able to find it.

But Professor Zheng did not hesitate and did not hesitate. At first, we could still see him swimming desperately in the shallow water through the sun, but as he swam deeper and deeper, we could no longer catch him. I only saw a small black shadow, desperately rushing towards the deeper abyss. Maybe it's an illusion, but I clearly see a glimmer of light flashing in the abyss, fleeting - that's probably the last bloom of Chai porcelain in this world.

Fang Zhen ordered to throw down a lifebuoy, ready to save people at any time. But we waited ten minutes, but there was no movement on the sea. Fang Zhen had to wait a little longer, I shook my head and stopped him.

"Professor Zheng won't come back, he has already followed Chai Ci." I looked at the sea and felt emotion in my heart. At that time, Zheng Anguo didn't care about the lives of his whole family for the sake of porcelain; Now his son, for a piece of firewood porcelain, is willing to sink into the deep sea. The old Zheng family's obsession with porcelain is simply crazy to the limit, deeply engraved in the genes. The cruelty of the cycle of fate has finally come to an end today.

But what should we say about these people? In their minds, morality, money, power, country and even family affection can be discarded, and the only thing that cannot be discarded is porcelain. These people focus on the porcelain itself, and don't care about external objects. I suddenly realized, isn't this the highest level of playing with antiquities—there is nothing outside the mind?

In a sense, these people who leave everything else behind are the real porcelain artists.

Shen Yunchen's voice suddenly dragged me back to reality: "Quick, old court! She was pushed to the ground, her leg seemed to be lame, she couldn't move, and she could only scream at a high level.

Yes! Mrs. Shen is right, now is not the time to be sentimental, because there is another more important thing waiting for me to do.

Old pilgrimage!

Now he's the only one left, and we're about to face each other head-on, and not in a situation he's arranged.

Fang Zhen instructed the crew to take a good look at Shen Yunchen, and the other to open the bilge and release the Japanese crew, and then the two of us took three steps and two steps and went straight to the wheelhouse on the top floor.

My speed was unprecedentedly fast, and even Fang Zhen was left behind by me. I kicked open the hatch and rushed in to look around. I saw that the captain's seat was empty, and in front of me was an ON loudspeaker, with a satellite maritime phone strapped to it.

Lao Chaofeng didn't come here in person, but relied on a phone to remotely command?

I grabbed the phone, and it was full of noise, and there was no movement for a long time. I went crazy and walked around inside, the cab wasn't that big, and it was impossible to hide people. This is the sea, and there are no secret passages to get anywhere else.

"No, that call must be a disguise! He definitely didn't leave, quick, search the whole ship! I grabbed Fang Zhen's shoulders and yelled hysterically.

The Japanese crew were also released, and when they heard that there was a pirate hiding in the ship, they were terrified, and repeatedly said that they had to search it thoroughly. Even salvaged No. 08 was asked by Fang Zhen to search thoroughly. So a group of surviving crew members began a large-scale search with indignation. They knew the layout of their ships so well that they knew where a rat was hiding. What's more, the Blue Bird Pill and Salvage 08 are not Titanic, and the space is not much, so it doesn't take much trouble to search.

But it's that weird. So many people went back and forth two or three times, but the old courtier disappeared without a trace.

There are only two possibilities: one, he did control remotely via maritime telephone. After all, Lao Chaofeng is too old to come to the storm. Second, he jumped into the sea and sank into the abyss. This makes sense physically, but it doesn't make sense physically. Lao Chaofeng is not a porcelain nerd like Professor Zheng, he is the most realistic person, and he will never take the risk of making such a choice until he is cornered.

When I received the news that the third search had been fruitless, I was so discouraged that I wanted to jump into the sea.

Ten pieces of firewood porcelain are gone, the Fugong is blown up, and the medicine is inexplicably missing. We have paid such a great effort and price, but the old courtiers are still at large, mocking us from afar.

"Grandpa, Dad, what should I do, what should I do......" I covered my face with my hands and lowered my head, feeling lonely and powerless than I had ever felt before.

The night sky after the storm is full of stars, and even the Milky Way is clearly visible. These stars** adorned the dome, like a beacon to guide the ships to return to port. Salvage 08 was starlit at a high speed, leaving a long wake of white foam at the stern that stretched into the darkness in the distance.

"No wonder the ancients invented the art of pulling stars. At sea, there is nothing more reliable than the stars being a more reliable signpost. It's not easy to get it from your head up, and it's so convenient. "Yao is not standing on the upper deck, holding a can of beer in his hand, and it is rare to have a literary and artistic emotion.

I was beside him, leaning over the railing, looking up at the stars, silent. At my feet, three or four empty cans had been lost, but the effect of alcohol was not as great as I thought.

After resolving the pirate rebellion, Salvage 08 and Ayotorimaru jointly conducted a survey of the area. Whether it is sonar or diving exploration, it is unmistakable that the Fugong has sunk into a deep trench, where the depth is estimated to be close to 1,000 meters, and there is no possibility of secondary salvage.

Now that the goals are gone, there is nothing for the two ships to compete with. The Japanese solemnly thanked us and left. Before leaving, I made a point of asking that they did get coordinate assistance from the Chinese side, but the person I contacted was Professor Zheng – I was a little disappointed, but expected. With the prudence of the old courtiers, they would certainly not make such a mistake that might reveal their identity.

Salvage 08 also returned immediately, and there was no point in staying here. Those ten pieces of firewood porcelain, like a mirror flower and water moon, are shocked in front of us, and they are fleeting. It's like a fantastical dream, it seems real, but when you wake up empty-handed.

But some things are much more cruel than in dreams.

"Medicine, otherwise, this kid is really unpredictable. He actually came for the remains of his grandfather. "Medicine is not sighed. Now the two remains were taken away by Salvage No. 08 and Blue Bird Pill respectively, and we brought Yao Shenxing, and they took Kunio Izumita's.

"The matter of recovering the remains does not contradict the goal of finding the Fugong Chai porcelain. I also heard it on the ship, and the old courtier always knew his true purpose, and even expressed his support. I can't figure out if he has any reason why he needs to betray the old court. ”

"You can't think of it, and neither can the old court. At first, the school teachers couldn't think of it, and the transfer students couldn't think of it. Silently achieving one's goals in a place that no one could have imagined, isn't this exactly the style of medicine doing things? "Medicine is not said quietly.

"What's that motivation? He set up a bureau to get rid of the transfer students because that guy was annoying. Then why did he set up a bureau to frame the old Chaofeng and annihilate the whole army? ”

The medicine is not to drink the beer can in one gulp: "I have a conjecture, a big conjecture, and many details in it can only be imagined, I don't know if you can understand it." ”

“…… I try my best. ”

"Before I went to sea, I re-read the Izumita Report and found a suspicious point. According to Huang Kewu's words you relayed, in Qingfeng Building, it was Xu Yicheng who forced Lou Yinfan to death, and then took away five cans and handed them over to the Japanese. But in the "Quantian Report", it is clearly written that they contacted Lou Yinfan first, and then abruptly added the words "Chinese expert Xu Yicheng" to assist. ”

"What do you mean?" I'm a little confused, it's too far from our topic, right?

"I think order is important, if not extreme. Your comprehension may be hard to think of, but it determines the nature of the whole thing. "Isn't the medicine back to being the mean, rational nasty guy again.

"Quantian Guofu first knew Xu Yicheng, and then asked Xu Yicheng to force Lou Yinfan to take five cans, which is a traitorous act. But what if the order is reversed? The Japanese first looked for Lou Yinfan, and then Xu Yicheng intervened? ”

I was stunned, and everything made sense. My grandfather is naturally not a traitor, and his series of strange performances in Qingfeng Building must have another hidden meaning. If it is not a medicine, it is natural to pretend to cooperate with the Japanese in order to draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle.

"Once this doubt is clarified, many things will be understood." Medicine is not the way, "Let me give you a sort of order." First of all, Lou Yinfan got five cans, and asked his old friends from Shaoxing to open the cans carefully. Yao Shenxing didn't know what was inside at the time, just to fulfill a friend's commission. But after he opened the can, he got five sets of star-pulling coordinates, compared them with the "Sanguan Document", and obtained the key information of the shipwreck location, and then Xu Yicheng also knew - as for whether Yao Shenxing took the initiative to tell him, I don't know. ”

"And then my grandfather managed to get the jar back from Lou Yinfan's hands?" I continued.

"Stupid, you're thinking wrong again. At that time, the jar had been opened, and Kunio Izumida had already obtained five sets of coordinates and was waiting for approval to go to sea to explore treasures. Xu Yicheng's gambling in Qingfeng Building was not for the jar itself, but to gain Quantian's trust. This way, he can follow him out into the sea in search of treasure and wreak havoc - the only way to stop the enemy. ”

"But within a few days, my grandfather was imprisoned for the Jade Buddha head......"

Yao didn't snap his fingers: "That's right." Therefore, there are other people who go to sea with Izumita. ”

"Medicine caution?"

"It's not that I said good things for my ancestors, don't you think it's strange if you think about this exploration along the way? Why did the Fugong move so far from the original wreck site? Why are the bodies of the two tightly clamped together? Why is the chai porcelain left not far away? Yao didn't say this, patted the railing, "The sinking site of the Fugong was not so deep, so the diving equipment in the thirties could barely cope with it." My grandfather must have had a fierce confrontation with Izumita, and then both died......"

I thought about it carefully, and the two corpses were indeed in suspicious postures, as if they were going to kill each other in the ship, but they were both equipped with the same equipment, and it was clear that they had cooperated. The explanation that the medicine is not is right.

"My grandfather probably also knows that this is more than lucky. So he repaired the five jars in advance, but in fact he only had time to repair four, and sent the submarine needle - presumably your grandfather gave it to him - back to Shaoxing, and then he traveled with a sigh of relief, never to return. ”

I closed my eyes, and the image of a tall figure on the deck came to mind.

It's all just speculation, but I think it's pretty close to the truth, and all the details are right. The more I learned about Yao Shenxing, the more interesting it became. He is really a contradictory existence, on the one hand, he actually sold the stolen goods for the Tanglin robbery, he is a guy with a desire for profit, and on the other hand, his personal morality is very good, whether it is the commitment to Yin Tian, the feelings for Yin Dan or the cultivation of Yin Nianjiu, it is the style of a gentleman. And his seclusion in Shaoxing also shows that he has a deep sense of guilt for the Tanglin case.

Perhaps, it was this guilty heart that made Yao Shenxing agree to Xu Yicheng's entrustment, resolutely follow Quantian to the sea, and atoned for his sins with his life.

This also explains why my grandfather refused to defend himself in prison, or even to explain the five veins, and was willing to die in the name of a traitor. Once he publicly defends, he will be innocent, but the Japanese will also know the truth, which will affect the treasure protection plan of Yao Shenxing and Fu Gonghao.

Of course, all this is speculation about whether the medicine is or not, and it is impossible to find the parties to corroborate. But one thing is certain, in order to protect the national treasure, the five veins are not one, but two seniors who died generously, and they did not hesitate.

This truth is astonishing, but even more impressive. I couldn't help but straighten up, and a warm force poured down from among the stars and through my heart.

The medicine is not still the same calm look, but the more he talks, the more he says: "I suspect that my grandfather Yao has seen a little clue, but it is inconvenient to say it publicly, so I have to hide it in my heart." He and Ji Tianjun desperately fought for five cans, which did not mean to look for his father's traces. Speaking of this, he took a deep breath: "Perhaps, a long time ago. Otherwise, with the medicine in his mouth, he will have insight into the whole truth. With that guy's IQ, it's not difficult. ”

I was silent, thinking back to the smiling face I had seen on different occasions. He hid it so tightly that he didn't reveal anything.

Yao is not Dao: "I can more or less guess the mood of the medicine." He joined the old court, not for anything else, because the old courtroom is the most suitable person to find medicine and prudence. ”

"Doesn't that go back to the original topic? This motive does not contradict the old court. ”

"How can it not be contradictory?" Yao didn't say in a deep voice, "The master is to prevent the enemy from seizing porcelain and go to righteousness generously." Otherwise, how could he sit back and watch the enemy take away the chai porcelain in order to recover the remains? Everything he has been doing is to get close to the Fu Gonghao, find the master, and find out the truth. Those three explosions were his forced end to this centuries-old strife. ”

"Isn't that far-fetched......"

"In order to wash away the tarnished reputation of our ancestors, to complete their unfinished business, do whatever it takes, do something that seems stupid, you have always been, isn't it?"

He blocked me back with a word. yes, I'm not the same either? In order to find the innocence and truth of his grandfather Xu Yicheng, he traveled all over the place and insisted on some seemingly stupid things. If what I did was written as a novel, some readers would say that the motive was too far-fetched, right? People who are not really in the process will never be able to experience it firsthand.

"Medicine will treat you differently than others. In you, he sees his own shadow and thinks it's the same kind of person. "Medicine is not the way. I smiled wryly, thinking of his improvised words from his time in the Kowloon Walled City. At that time, I didn't know that there was such a deep emotion hidden in his words.

"But he is a murderer, and he has at least two lives on his hands, which cannot be washed away." I say.

Yao Fei pinched the bridge of his nose helplessly: "He is extremely indifferent to irrelevant people and things." Not to mention Ji Yunfu and that old man, even those ten pieces of priceless firewood porcelain are nothing in his eyes. It was enough for him to find the remains and prove that the grandfather died to protect the treasure. As for the ten pieces of chai porcelain, maybe his plan was to simply let these ten pieces of chai porcelain accompany the funeral of the grandfather, so he ruthlessly blew up the Fu Gonghao. ”

If this theory is not true, then medicine is simply a person who is more persistent than me, more persistent than Zheng Anguo, and more extreme than Liu Chengqi. I remembered the gesture of life and death that Yao Ran did, and it turned out that it was not for me, but for Yao Shen.

But after all, he still gave me a piece of firewood porcelain, is this an apology, a tribute, is it reluctant, or does he want to say something to me?

I turned my gaze from the starry sky to the dark sea at the stern of the ship, and suddenly there was an indescribable feeling in my heart, not sadness, not anger, but a kind of suffocation, as if all emotions were blocked, making people breathless, extremely uncomfortable. We have never had the opportunity to talk directly at sea, and we will never have the opportunity again. The last time we saw him was him throwing himself on the corpse and weeping bitterly.

Medicine is not speculation, after all, it is only speculation, and we will never know what is going on in the head of the medicine. I sighed and tried to say something, but it was stuck in my throat. I didn't even know what to throw into the water and talk about it.

I leaned my upper body out of the railing and looked out into the sea behind me. Legend has it that the spirits of those who died at sea would always follow the ship in the hope of returning to land. If this superstition was true, he should be able to see me by now, even if it was a glance.

I stared for a long time, slowly pulling my gaze back. The night wind at sea was too cold and unsafe, so it was almost time to go back to the cabin. I took one last glance at the stern of the port side of the salvage 08, and was about to withdraw my gaze, but for a moment my pupils suddenly narrowed. I stretched out my arm, trying to call for medicine not to show him, but my throat was so tense that I couldn't make a sound......

The ship's radio for salvage No. 08 suddenly sounded, and the passengers on the ship were already resting, and they were alarmed again. It was my voice on the radio, and I called everyone to the door of the decompression chamber.

Shen Yunchen, Professor Lin, Dai Haiyan, Zhong Shan, Fang Zhen and others all rushed over. I gasped and said to them, "Otherwise, I found the medicine." As soon as the words came out, everyone couldn't help but be shocked, and even Fang Zhen was stunned. Otherwise, the medicine will be launched into the water and detonated three **, this is known to everyone, and the ship has been searched many times, and it is impossible to hide others. If this medicine is not, where did it come from?

"I was talking to Yao Fei on the side of the railing just now, and suddenly I saw that there seemed to be something more on the stern side of the boat, so I got closer and took a flashlight, and found that it was a man in a diving suit hanging from the rotor of the tail rudder, very close to the propeller. I didn't hurry up with the medicine to drag him up, and when I saw it, we found that it was actually medicine. Now instead of going to the ship's doctor, I threw him into the decompression chamber first. ”

The door to the decompression chamber has been closed and the machine is humming into action. Everyone took turns looking in through a small window, and saw that the medicine was wrapped in a blanket, with wet hair leaning against the wall, and the face flushed inward, and there seemed to be a large amount of blood on the forehead, and the whole person was unconscious.

The ship's doctor hurried in, he opened the hatch and went in, administered the medicine or did a brief examination, and bandaged his head briefly. When we came out, we gathered together and asked how we were doing. The ship's doctor said that the patient's decompression sickness was quite serious, and he may not have been able to decompress in time after coming out of the water, and he had been immersed in seawater for a long time, and he had signs of hypothermia. He also had multiple injuries to his head and limbs, but fortunately he did not break them. In short, let him carefully decompress and recuperate, and wait for the decompression to be over after six hours.

I asked the patient if he could wake up, and the ship's doctor said that it was enough to choke on the ship, after all, there was a lack of professional treatment equipment, but the captain had already contacted the port. The port will send a special high-speed fishery administration boat to pick up, and send you to the hospital when you go ashore.

"He was so lucky that he was dragged so far by the boat with the propeller attached to the propeller, and he didn't break his head." The ship's doctor muttered, turned to leave, and glanced at the crowd gathered again, "What are so many people doing here?" Disperse, disperse, don't disturb the patient's rest. ”

Since he said so, everyone dispersed. But everyone is a little excited, this treasure hunt, the biggest mystery is the medicine, otherwise, he actually survived, he must be able to ask a lot of things.

Three hours later, it was midnight. Most of the people on board were asleep, and Salvage 08 was speeding towards the coast with its traffic lights hoisted, and would be home tomorrow.

A dark shadow walked through a silent and uninhabited passage to the decompression chamber. There is a control valve here that controls the pressure in the cabin. The black shadow reached out, grabbed the handle, and slowly pulled it in the direction of the boost, until it was the fullest.

At this moment, the lights in front of the decompression chamber were bright, illuminating the place as if it were daytime.

The medicine with the bandage on his head turned over, and he actually sat up from the decompression chamber and pushed the door out by himself. He raised his hand and pushed the bandage up, revealing a face that was eighty percent similar to the medicine - this was medicine not disguised, his head was wrapped in bandages and towels, and the light was dim, so he couldn't tell it if he didn't look closely.

"As long as the medicine doesn't wake up, he will definitely tell the true identity of the old court. So the one who hopes that he won't wake up alive the most must be the old court. Yao Fei said coldly, stretched out his arm, and pointed straight at the black shadow. I also came out of the corner and shook it with a flashlight in my hand: "But I never thought it would be you." ”

Under the shroud of light, it was Shen Yunchen's frosty face.

"Hello, old courtier." I said this long-awaited sentence.

Surprisingly, Shen Yunchen stood motionless in place, without justifying or refutating. She was silent, just looking at me coldly.

For some reason, I wasn't particularly excited at this time, as if it was a natural thing. Everything in the past came out of my head, automatically categorized, and my thinking became clearer and clearer.

"When did you find out?" Shen Yunchen finally spoke.

"I've always had doubts." When I said this, my eyes burned, "To be precise, since the Ming and Qing Dynasty furniture exhibitions in Hangzhou, I have been suspicious of you." Not to mention the motive, in terms of ability alone, you are most qualified to arrange the wooden mechanism that damaged the blue and white jar of the 'Three Visits to the Thatched House'. But what I don't understand is that with your position in the five veins, there is a lot of opportunity to destroy that jar, so why bother so much? So I put my doubts aside for a while, and it wasn't until I heard that there was a dispute between Yao Fei and the medicine family over this matter, and I realized again that only an accident in full view of everyone can remove your suspicion. ”

Shen Yunchen snorted coldly, noncommittal.

"When the fine willow camp is destroyed and the five veins begin to counterattack, you will start to panic, for fear that someone will find out this line, and you will follow the vine. So you took the initiative to expose Zeng Xiaoge, who was responsible for the specific arrangement of the furniture mechanism, and then used a poison capsule to cut off this clue. ”

Speaking of which, I glanced at the medicine and not: "Although this guy hates it, there is a saying that is right, always trust the clues he finds." You took the initiative to push Brother Zeng over, which made me feel that something was wrong.

"Unfortunately, although I had doubts at the time, I didn't think about it deeply. I always thought that Lao Chaofeng was an old man in his old age, and the phone calls were passed several times, who could associate it with you - until Liu Chengqian told me the truth. ”

Shen Yunchen's eyelids lifted, and he was quite surprised: "Nonsense, when did he tell you?" ”

"Even before I died. The moment he was engulfed by the whirlpool, his eyes looked at Aotorimaru and he shouted 'Mom'. I learned about his past, when he was a child with albinism, bullied and not liked by his family. He has been following you, and he thinks you are his mother. That's why he competed with the medicine for favor, and he was very unconvinced by your repeated wooing of me—and from then on, I woke up like a dream and realized that I might have fallen into a misunderstanding. Why does the old courtier have to be over the age of old, and why does he have to be a man? ”

At this point, I arched my hand and admired it: "You are really deliberate, you deliberately use the voice of an elderly man in every call, you have learned the big drum, this should not be difficult." You constantly reinforce my impression, and the stronger the impression, the more secure your identity is. If it weren't for Liu Chengxuan's last voice, I wouldn't have thought of you. I'm too stupid, think about it, who else could the old courtier? Who else can have such superb management methods to make the national counterfeit theft business so big in just a dozen years? Old Man Liu can't do it. ”

Dai Haiyan, who was behind me, interjected: "But she has been acting with us, and wasn't she also held hostage by Professor Zheng later?" ”

I signaled that this question would not be answered in a hurry, and whispered a few words to Fang Zhen on the other side. Fang Zhen let out a "hmm", turned to leave, and after a while, took out a rosewood-colored suitcase. Everyone recognized that this box was brought on board by Shen Yunchen, and it contained a star-pulling board. Fang Zhen opened the box, and there was a large dark compartment at the bottom of the box.

Fang Zhen took out another maritime telephone, which we got from the cab seat of the Blue Bird Maru, which was much larger than my eldest brother and had a very thick antenna. He also took out a battery pack of equal size, and put it in the dark compartment along with the phone, and there was a "click" sound, and it was tightly closed.

"This is Siemens' maritime satellite phone, or is it the latest model." Professor Lin exclaimed, he often goes to sea and is familiar with these maritime equipment.

I said to Dai Haiyan: "She went to sea with us so that she could keep her accomplices informed of the progress at any time. However, the size of the maritime phone is relatively large, and with the charging equipment, it cannot be hidden at all. In order not to make us suspicious, she deliberately brought a set of star boards, so that no one would be suspicious if she carried a large suitcase with her. When we figured out the location of the wreck, she immediately sent out the coordinates and instructed the pirate ship to come. ”

Speaking of this, I turned to Shen Yunchen again: "Your original plan was to fish out the chai porcelain and hand it over to the pirates to take away, and then kill us all, right?" Admittedly, you're just as adaptable. As soon as the explosion occurred, you immediately noticed that the situation had changed, and immediately tied the maritime phone to the microphone, perfectly constructing a scene of an old court's remote command, and then left the cab, pretending to be held hostage by Professor Zheng, making yourself more innocent. In this way, even if the old Chaofeng army was wiped out, Yu Shen Yunchen would be unscathed. ”

"As for why Professor Zheng is willing to cooperate, I'm afraid this is true love, right?" I smiled.

I haven't heard it with my own ears, Shen Yunchen mentioned that she and Professor Zheng had a relationship when they were young. If Shen Yunchen is an old courtier, then the reason why Professor Zheng took refuge, I'm afraid that the medicine is not the main reason, but his remaining feelings. With Professor Cheng's paranoia, it is so normal to give his life for the things of the people he loves all his life.

In the Tangwang Temple, when he talked to me about the old court, his expression was excited. At the time, I thought it was the excitement of finding a soulmate, but in retrospect, it was clearly the look of true love.

The old courtier was too careful, and when he got to that point, he could fake the scene in time and get out with his innocence. But because of this, she was trapped in a cramped and cramped situation. This bureau set up by me and Yao is very naïve, and if it is changed on other occasions, it will not be able to trap the old courtiers at all. But now on the ship, she has no choice but to take risks and kill the mouth herself, so this game is a dead end for her.

Shen Yunchen sneered, seemingly dismissive of my speculation: "Xiao Xu, this is all your accusations?" ”

"No, no, the next thing is the real **." I pointed my finger at her, "You're an old pilgrim, but not the first, but the third. ”

This sentence shocked the people around him, and even Shen Yunchen showed a look of surprise, as if he was caught off guard by my blow.

"What do you mean by the third old pilgrimage?" Fang Zhen asked.

I swept Shen Yunchen's face and smiled: "All along, I have always defaulted to Lao Chaofeng as an old man, so many doubts are not correct at all, and they can't be explained. If he followed my grandfather Xu Yicheng to experience the Buddha's head case, he is now in his nineties and almost a hundred years old, how can he still have so much energy to make trouble? When I saw the corpse of Yao Shenxing, it suddenly occurred to me that the old courtiers might be two. But there are still some things that don't match. When I realized that you might be an old pilgrim, I thought, why can't it be three? ”

Fang Zhen said: "Xiao Xu, let's talk about what's going on with those three old courtiers." "He's always been most concerned about that.

I raised a finger: "The first old pilgrimage is medicine prudence." This nickname was given to him by Kunio Izumita, because the owner of the sea ship in the Ming Dynasty called himself a fisher. The second old courtier was Ji Tianjun, who competed with Yaolai for five cans, and then returned to Xi'an and started a business of making and selling counterfeits. ”

"But why did he use the name of the old court?" Dai Haiyan asked.

"At that time, Yao Shenxing's whereabouts were unknown, and suddenly another person who claimed to be an old courtier came out, which would definitely have a great impact on Yao Lai. I guess Ji Tianjun has already calculated this step, maybe the medicine failed to stop the five cans from dispersing, and it is directly related to the name. ”

"But Ji Tianjun died in 1948." Fang Zhen said.

I didn't answer directly, I turned my face to Shen Yunchen and said, "Miss Kido didn't participate in this trip, first, her identity is embarrassing, which is the truth, but the real reason is that I asked her to go to Qishan." ”

Hearing the word "Qishan", Shen Yunchen's face finally became a little tense.

"I just went to the cab and had a phone call with Kana Kido. She has found Ji Yunfu's sister Ji Yunfang. The Ji family really has a relationship with Ji Tianjun, but it is not very close, and there is very little contact between them. According to Ji Yunfang, listening to the older generation, Ji Tianjun has another biological daughter, who was sent to the capital early, and it is said that she was raised in the Shen family. Because of her amazing talent at a young age, she was quite expected by her family, so she changed her surname to Shen. This layer of secrets cannot be found in the five veins. ”

Needless to say, this daughter is Shen Yunchen, or Ji Yunchen. Even if I don't set up a decompression chamber bureau, as long as the news arrives over there, Shen Yunchen's identity will be revealed.

"If it weren't for Yanyan inadvertently saying something that made me notice that my generation was disturbed by Ji Tianjun, I really wouldn't have thought of it." When I said this, my voice couldn't help but get louder, "It was my grandmother who brought you to Beijing in the first place!" ”

The corners of Shen Yunchen's mouth twitched violently, although she was still trying to keep her composure, I knew how much it shook her.

Huang Kewu told me that after my grandfather died, my grandmother lived in Ji Tianjun's place for a while, and later disliked him for his misdeeds, and returned to the capital with my father Xu Heping - calculate the time, I am afraid that Ji Yunchen was accompanied by him, as for the reason, I don't know. Maybe it was my grandmother who established a deep relationship with Ji Yunchen during her settlement in Xi'an, and she was afraid that she would be affected by her father's misdeeds, so she took her with her.

When I arrived in the capital, my grandmother lived in seclusion in the capital, and Ji Yunchen was handed over to the Shen family.

"You're wrong. I went to the Shen family voluntarily. I can only live a mediocre life with her, and the five veins are the golden ladder that can make me get ahead. Shen Yunchen said indifferently, but there was finally a hint of dodging and panic in her eyes. Back then, this decision was almost like betraying my grandmother.

But my grandmother never mentioned it, and it was always rotten in her heart.

I continued: "My father died because you were afraid that he would find out the truth; Ji Yunfu's death is also because you are afraid that he will continue to investigate. As long as someone tries to touch the relationship between you and Ji Tianjun, they will be killed. The matter of the Jade Buddha between Lao Chaofeng and my grandfather is actually all about your father Ji Tianjun and my grandfather, and you have been misleading me and turning me away from the truth under the pretense of his tone, half-truths and half-truths. ”

Unknowingly, I replaced the word "you" with "you". The grudge between this guy and our Xu family is really unfathomable. At this time, Yao didn't also take a step forward and shouted, "And what about my grandfather?" ”

Everyone's eyes were on him. Yao Lai committed suicide bizarrely, but it was also the poison hand secretly inflicted by this old lady. Yao is not returning to China, first, I want to find out why Yao defected, and second, I want to find out the cause of Yaolai's death.

Shen Yunchen sneered: "Yaolai is different from his grandson, and he can't hide things." For so many years, he has always thought that Yao Shenxing is a traitor who helps Quantian do things, and he is angry, so this is what I use. It's a pity that he didn't know that I was behind the scenes. ”

After I saw through the identity, she seemed to see it too, and simply vomited.

It turned out that after the Qingfenglou incident, Yao Lai was already vaguely aware of Yao Shenxing and Quantian's going to sea. He didn't know that Yao Shenxing had the same heart to die, and he thought that his father was also a traitor. You must know that Xu Yicheng is a traitor, which led to the decline of the Xu family; If Yao Shenxing is also exposed as a traitor, I am afraid that the medicine family will repeat the mistakes of the past. So he desperately collected five cans in order to find out what was going on, but unfortunately he couldn't collect them all and didn't have the means to open them. It was not until recent years that the hidden matter of Shaoxing Yin Nianjiu was vaguely discovered. It's a pity that he didn't act secretly, and Shen Yunchen was aware of it, so Shen Yunchen took advantage of this to coerce and force their ancestors and grandchildren to enter the game. Yao Lai didn't know what Yao Ran was secretly thinking, thinking that he was completely brainwashed, and he fell deeper and deeper, so he had to choose to commit suicide, just hoping to save Yao Otherwise.

The rest of the thing, I and Yao didn't experience it personally. Yaolai deliberately left clues, and put the antidote to Yaobu, who was far away, on Yaobu. The two grandparents and grandchildren, one died to hide his father's stigma, and the other died to recover his grandfather's innocence, and I don't know if it's worth it.

The medicine is not reddened eyes, clenched fists, trying to control the vibration in his heart. Dai Haiyan walked over and put her hand on his slightly trembling shoulder.

I remembered the half of the letter left by Liu Yiming. He was probably alert, but he just threw a mouse trap and didn't send it out. The name he deliberately erased was Shen Yunchen.

A resentment swirled in my chest. These three old fellows, who seem to be dashing in medicine, are actually cowardly, and finally used by the enemy; Liu Yiming seems to be confident, but in fact, he has many worries and tolerates adultery; There is also Huang Kewu, who seems to be jealous and hateful, but he is ignorant. The old court's rise to prominence is directly related to the character weaknesses of the three of them.

They have been appreciating antiques all their lives, but they have not seen through a single person. really responded to that sentence: it is easy to learn from the past, but it is difficult to learn from people.

Shen Yunchen stroked the hair in front of his forehead: "Are you done asking?" From the beginning to the end, she did not make any excuses, I don't know whether she was disdainful or dumbfounded.

"And one last question." I looked at her, "Why?" You can obviously be the head of a faction in the five veins, why did you choose to become the third old courtier? Obviously, your father Ji Tianjun's matter has nothing to do with you. ”

A mocking laugh sounded from Shen Yunchen's mouth: "What answer do you expect?" A daughter who wants to avenge her father? An unknown childhood shadow? A last resort? Don't be naïve, no! There is no need for any pretentious reason. I found out that there was a lot of money to be made from counterfeiting and a lot of profits from stealing and selling, so I did it, and there were no twists and turns, and there was no moral struggle. ”

"It's as simple as that?"

"It's as simple as that, why not make money when you have it? Let me tell you, the reason that supports the existence of the antique industry is the naked interest, not the love of things, nor the way of appreciation. A person like Lao Zheng will never understand, he died too stupidly. ”

In the face of Shen Yunchen's frankness, I was speechless.

"For the sake of profit, can everything else be ignored?" I asked.

Shen Yunchen said: "For the sake of 30% of the profit, capital dares to take risks, and dares to trample on all laws for the sake of 100% profit." How much profit is made on antiques? A thousand times more! ”

When she said these words nakedly, I didn't know how to refute them. In the past few years in the antique circle, I have seen too many things and too many faces, including Wumai's own struggle and transformation, and I know that what Shen Yunchen said is right, and it is us who are outdated.

She spoke firmly, as if I was the loser on the other side: "You must think that if you finally catch me, this industry will fall apart, right?" Wrong, I tell you, without my restraint it will be more prosperous, more chaotic, and more unscrupulous. You haven't seen it, for the sake of interests, people's hearts can be so terrible, but I have seen it, and Liu Yiming has also seen it, so he didn't dare to lift this lid. He knows how terrifying it is to have a chaotic world where no one is in charge and everyone does their own thing. The current chaos is nothing compared to that. ”

There was silence next to the decompression chamber, and everyone was shocked by Shen Yunchen's speech. These words and thoughts passed through everyone's hearts, but no one said them as openly as Shen Yunchen.

"Don't think that if you say this fallacy, we will be soft. You will be punished by the law, and hundreds of charges await you. I sneered.

Shen Yunchen disagreed: "I'm not begging for mercy, I'm just telling you how naïve you are." Fang Zhen stepped forward to control her and take her away. Shen Yunchen did not resist: "Please give me a few minutes, I'll make up some makeup." At this point, she was still thinking about makeup? Shen Yunchen smiled at me: "No matter when or on what occasion, decency is something that must be paid attention to." ”

Fang Zhen said: "Let her go." I followed. ”

With him with him, there shouldn't be any problem. So Shen Yunchen walked towards the room under Fang Zhen's escort. After walking a few steps, she suddenly turned around and smiled at me: "Xiao Xu, I feel guilty about your Xu family." I always remember Aunt Xu's kindness in bringing me back to Beijing. I don't embarrass you everywhere, woo you, and even deliberately mention the matter of the Fugong to you, I also hope that you can be used by me, and I can make up for the guilt in my heart. Now it seems that I am still too naïve, and after reading such an old relationship, I ended up today. You have to remember this lesson. ”

"That's because evil prevails over good." I replied with a gloomy face.

"It's good if you think so."

She laughed softly, turned her head, and continued to walk forward, her demeanor was still elegant and reserved, and her feet were not messy, like a famous actor's final farewell performance.

I looked at her departing figure and sat on the ground with a "plop", with no strength in my body, and all my energy was drained. I wanted to cry, but I couldn't; I wanted to shout, but I couldn't. Obviously, the enemy of fate was finally caught, but I did not feel a trace of joy. Yao Fei and Dai Haiyan stood aside, silent, not knowing what to say.

Only the red light of the decompression chamber flickered in confusion, and the huge machine simply could not comprehend the complexities of the human world.

Anyway, it's finally over. The medicine didn't pull me up, and then the first mate came running and said that there was a situation on deck, and the old lady ran to the bow of the ship and stood.

We were taken aback, didn't Fang Zhen follow? How did you get her running to the deck? We hurried over and saw Shen Yunchen standing on the edge of the bow of the boat, standing with his back to the sea. Her hair is coiled into a delicate cloud top, her body is meticulously buttoned, her wrists are hung with beads of golden silk nanmu, her fingers are emerald wrenches, and a delicate chain of jade Buddha hook cloud necklaces on her chest, as if she is going to a grand banquet.

Fang Zhen stood a few meters away from her, his lips trembling, as if he was in great pain. I've never seen him lose his temper like this. I asked him out loud what the hell was going on. Fang Zhen said in a low voice: "Old Man Liu, leave me a word." ”

"What?"

"Just one sentence: no matter who the old courtier is, give him a break."

Judgment is not judgment, and the meaning of this sentence could not be clearer.

This is really Liu Yiming's tone. He has long suspected that the old dynasty is in the five veins, and if the truth is revealed, the five veins will inevitably be another big chaos. He was afraid that the five veins would not be able to withstand the toss, so the other party should give him a face-toss, hoping that if the old dynasty would one day reveal his identity, he would not accept legal sanctions, but make a decision.

The last favor in Liu Yiming's life was used here.

Fang Zhen is a very principled person, and it stands to reason that he will never be accommodating in this kind of thing. But Old Man Liu was very kind to him, so when Shen Yunchen was exposed, he fell into extremely contradictory pain.

In the end, Fang Zhen still kept his promise to the old man.

"After this time, I will pay off the kindness of the Liu family. Make a wish, I'm sorry......" Fang Zhen muttered, his voice looking so weak and ashamed for the first time. The surface of this refined rock has cracked like never before. I know that abandoning principles is tantamount to death for Fang Zhen. There will be no more connection between the five veins and this soldier.

I turned my gaze to the bow of the boat. At this time, the wind and waves are slightly stronger, and the bow of the ship is bumpy. Shen Yunchen stood tall, his hands crossed and hanging down, his eyes level. The searchlight on the top of the boat shone on her like a stage spotlight.

I walked over to the sea breeze, but I didn't know what to say. I stretched out my hand to pull her back, but Shen Yunchen smiled, took a step back, and stepped on the edge of the boat with both feet, and below was the dark and turbulent sea.

"Unexpectedly, it was Xiao Xu who came to see me off in the end. It's fateful. ”

"What fate?!" I yelled in annoyance, not daring to get too close, but unwilling to leave.

"Your grandfather Xu Yicheng witnessed Yao Shenxing's going to sea; My father, Ji Tianjun, witnessed Xu Yicheng's execution. I saw the bodies of Xu Heping and his wife after they threw themselves into the lake; Now, it's your turn to witness my end. Isn't this fate? Shen Yunchen's eyes were filled with a little emotion.

The fate entanglement between the three generations of the old courtiers and the three generations of the Xu family is so complicated.

I looked at her in silence, suspicious. Shouldn't a mercilist be caught with his hands tied up, leave a life, and then try to survive during the trial? Shen Yunchen should be an extremely realistic person, and this posture of seeking death is not like her style.

"I know what you're thinking, Xu. There are no more rounds this time. You did a good job, I lost. When Liu Yiming summoned you back, I had a hunch that you would become my confidant - I still lost to that old man in the end. Anyway, I will give you back the life I owe to you to the Xu family. ”

"It's not just our Xu family, you have to pay the price for the evil, fakes, and people you have hurt for so many years!"

Shen Yunchen let out a mocking and piercing laugh: "You Xu family are always so naïve. Revenge is a matter of course, I admit it! But don't talk about these big things. You can't imagine what a market with no rulers and huge profits will become, and you've never seen how the human heart will degenerate because of it – and you'll miss me when that happens. ”

Hearing this, I suddenly smiled. Shen Yunchen asked me what I was laughing at, and I replied, "I suddenly remembered that Old Man Huang told me the story of my grandfather Bao Dongling. He stood alone in front of Sun Dianying's army, trying to block the army by himself. People's hearts are degenerate, no matter how chaotic the world is, can they still be chaotic for a while? But my grandfather still made his own choice, our Xu family, is always doing something stupid. ”

I thought Shen Yunchen would mock him for his failure, but she actually raised her head and showed a look of fascination: "I heard my father talk about it. I've never seen him so scared of a man that he had to put him to death. He said that if Xu Yicheng didn't die, he wouldn't dare to let go of his hands and feet to do things. I really want to see this Xu Yicheng with my own eyes, what kind of character it is. ”

At this point, she looked at me, but she wasn't looking at me, her gaze was over my shoulder and focused behind me. It was as if my grandfather was standing there, watching the outcome of these decades.

"Just wait and see what this business will become."

After saying this, Shen Yunchen suddenly moved, his body fell from the side of the boat crookedly, and disappeared into the deep sea of darkness.

The deck returned to calm, and I looked at the place where Shen Yunchen disappeared in a daze, with mixed feelings. It's over. It began with darkness and ended with darkness, and the darkness that had sheltered her now consumed her. The enmity of the Xu family, the enmity of the medicine family, and the countless cases all ended with the fall of the old courtier.

She never begged for mercy from the beginning to the end, and probably from the moment she was exposed, she was preparing for this moment. I've thought about all kinds of revenge scenarios countless times, from the simplest of justice to the most brutal abuse, but I never imagined that it would end like this.

I was not particularly excited when I revealed her true colors just now, but when I heard her final prophecy, I felt a surge of power in my body again.

It was not relief, it was not relief, it was not the pleasure of revenge, but a high-spirited fighting spirit.

"Make a wish, do you think her prophecy will come true?" Medicine is not standing next to me.

"I believe it. People's hearts are like this, and the antique industry in the future will definitely be chaotic, and fakes will be rampant, I am afraid it will be several times more chaotic than today. I paused and smiled, "That's why our persistence makes more sense, doesn't it?" ”

I raised my head, looked at the stars in the sky, raised my hands high, and bowed to life and death. Life and death are a promise, and nine deaths are not regretted. It is said that the spirits of the dead dwell among the stars, and they will surely be able to hear me.

The sea was dark, but the stars in the sky were still shining.
