Chapter Twenty-Nine: His Identity
In the dark shadows not far away, there was a faint cyan shadow, and the forbearant eyes under the mask quietly watched Shangguan Jiyue's lonely and thin figure leave, and stretched out his hand to her, wanting to call her, but he didn't know what he thought, and slowly drooped down again.
He opened his mouth silently, but finally did not shout the salutation. I just said to her over and over again in my heart: I'm sorry, don't blame me. With my current physical condition, how can I bear to let you experience another separation of life and death. Third sister, you are not alone, like a deep hatred in the sea, I will bear it with you......
Three days later, at dusk, Chu Zijie came to the inn where Shangguan Jiyue was staying.
"Sir, have you come up with a clever plan?" After entering the room and sitting down, Chu Zijie didn't go around in circles, so he asked eagerly.
"I thought of one roughly, but it was also very risky." Shangguan Jiyue personally poured a cup of tea for Chu Zijie and gently put it in front of him.
"For the sake of his father and the people of Liuguo, Zijie is not afraid of taking risks, and please speak up to Mr."
Shangguan Jiyue looked at Chu Zijie fixedly for a while, and saw that his eyes were deep and his words were firm, so he spoke slowly: "That fake Chu Zijie is ruthless and scheming, since we can't confront him face to face, then, let's force him to stand up himself!" ”
"Force him to stand up on his own?!" Chu Zijie was obviously confused and didn't understand the meaning of Shangguan Jiyue's words.
"What do you think will happen to someone if they know that his identity is fake?" Shangguan Jiyue asked with a smile.
"Then he will definitely kill the person who knows at all costs!" Chu Zijie almost blurted out.
"What if ten people knew?"
"Kill!"
"What about a hundred?"
"Still going to kill!"
Shangguan Jiyue's eyes suddenly darkened, and she continued to ask: "Then what if everyone knows about this matter and is suspicious?" ”
Chu Zijie raised his head suddenly, his gentle eyes were full of surprise, and he looked at Shangguan Jiyue for a long time without saying a word.
"The so-called human words are terrifying, and three people become tigers. But there is another sentence called the law does not blame the public, if the civil and military officials and the people of the whole city of Liuguo knew that Chu Zijie in the imperial city was an impostor, he would never slaughter the people of the whole city, right? That would be the opposite of his purpose! ”
Hearing this, Chu Zijie's eyes lit up, and his face showed surprise.
Shangguan Jiyue's words changed, "If everyone suspects that he is fake, it is not everyone who is in danger, but you!" He will do whatever it takes to find you and kill you to prove that everything is just rumors, just nonsense! That's why I'm going to say at the beginning that it's risky, and it's up to you to decide whether or not to implement this plan. ”
"I do!" Chu Zijie blurted out without the slightest hesitation.
Shangguan Jiyue looked at him for a long time, and a little respect suddenly rose in his heart, he was really like what the lord of Chu said, he was pure and kind by nature, and he valued love and righteousness. It's just that in this troubled world, there are really fewer and fewer people who are loyal and good in such conduct.
Sighing, Shangguan Jiyue finally made up her mind and said, "Okay, then it's decided!" ”
"How can we let the people of the whole city know that Chu Zijie in the imperial city is a fake?" Chu Zijie frowned.
"Naturally, it is to spread the news and create a public opinion effect!"
"Spread the word? Public opinion effect? It was the first time Chu Zijie had heard such a fresh word, and he couldn't help but look puzzled.
Shangguan Jiyue coughed twice to hide her embarrassment, and she didn't know how to explain it to him for a while, so she had to look at him left and right: "This ...... You don't have to worry about it, just leave it to me. ”
"So what can I do?"
"Find a safe hiding place so that that fake Chu Zijie can't find you!" Shangguan Jiyue looked at Chu Zijie and said word by word, "Once the news spreads, he will definitely search for you throughout the city, so the most dangerous place is also the safest place, and he will never think that you are under his nose." ”
"Imperial City !!"
"Yes! But the premise is that you must find someone in the imperial city who can make you trust with all your heart, worthy of your life! ”
Hearing this, Chu Zijie lowered his head and pondered for a long time before slowly raising his head, looking at Shangguan Jiyue, and said solemnly, "Then it's only her, my little sister - Chu Tianyun!" ”
"Little Lord?" Shangguan Jiyue asked rhetorically, she still knew a little about this little county lord Chu Tianyun.
"Yes, among my siblings, I have had the best relationship with her since I was a child. Except for my father, the only thing I can think of is her. There was a faint loneliness in Chu Zijie's tone.
"Will she be able to get out of the Imperial City?"
"Yes!" Chu Zijie replied very simply, as if he thought of the happy times in the past, and most of the dark clouds on his face just now suddenly dissipated, and he said slowly, "My father has always doted on her as a daughter, and he loves her very much, even if she sneaks out of the imperial city from time to time, she turns a blind eye. ”
"That's very good." Shangguan Jiyue breathed a sigh of relief, "Tomorrow, I will ask her out in your name, and then you disguise yourself as her guard and follow her back to the imperial city and act when the opportunity arises." ”
The two discussed for a long time, but before they knew it, it was getting late, and as soon as Chu Zijie was sent away on the front foot, there was a knock on the door of the back foot.
Opening the door, Shangguan Jiyue was slightly stunned when she saw the person coming, and then smiled: "Did you hear it just next door?" ”
"Sure enough, I still can't hide it from you!" The slightly pale lips under the mask hooked slightly, "When did you find out?" ”
"I'll know from the moment you booked the next room." Seeing that he was standing outside the door and didn't want to come in, Shangguan Jiyue couldn't help but smile, stared at his melancholy eyes and asked, "Are you sure you want to stand here and talk?" ”
Hearing this, the man in Tsing Yi stepped in, sat in the seat where Chu Zijie had sat just now, looked at Shangguan Jiyue in a night robe, his eyes flashed, and said, "I'll go tonight!" ”
"Why?"
"Your injuries aren't quite healed yet."
"I'm asking why you're helping me? Where did you find out who I am? Why do you deliberately conceal your martial arts moves? Who are you? Shangguan Jiyue stepped forward and stood in front of him, staring closely at the eyes under the mask, and her tone was cold.
"I ...... I won't tell you! The man's eyes twinkled, and he turned his face away from the rest.
"What if I had to know today?" Shangguan Jiyue's eyes narrowed slightly, her tone was dignified, and a powerful coercion emanated from her body, sweeping with monstrous anger.
"You still don't want to know."
"Then wait and see!"
As soon as Shangguan Jiyue's words fell, she suddenly shot like the wind, and buckled straight at the eye-catching dark iron mask.
The man seemed to be on guard, and reached out to hold her wrist without swaying, and the force bounced off her palm.
The two of them went back and forth in the house for dozens of rounds, and there was no difference between victory and defeat. Shangguan Jiyue's eyes swept to the bamboo chopsticks on the table, and suddenly had a plan, made a false move, and in a flash, he took the pair of chopsticks in his hand, turned the chopsticks into a blade, and cut straight towards the mask.
