Red Dust, Listen to the Wind and Snow Chapter 43

Zhen Qiji asked disapprehantly, "Do you want to kill me?" ”

Kang Peng said: "If I can avenge the revenge of thirty years ago, even if I die with you, I will not regret my death." ”

Zhen Qi said: "You can kill me, I will never resist." Can you tell me a few things, though, before I die? ”

Kang Peng restrained his anger and said, "Okay, you ask." ”

Zhen Qiji said: "Since you are a person sent by Xiang Botong, but you have been with me for more than seven years, during this period of time, my trust in you is getting higher and higher, and naturally my defense against you is getting lower and lower, and you have countless opportunities to kill me during this period, why didn't you do it?" ”

Kang Peng said: "Because I was sent by Xiang Botong, I won't kill you until I get the order to kill you." ”

Zhen Qiji shook his head and said, "With my understanding of Xiang Botong, I think he asked me to kill me when you first gained my trust, but ...... You haven't done it until now. Can you tell me what you are doing for disobeying Xiang Botong's instructions? ”

"It's me. It was I who dissuaded him from killing you. Mrs. Zhen interjected.

Zhen Qiji was not surprised, and asked, "Why do you want to dissuade him from killing me?" If he had killed me, he would have taken you away, and I think you must have had the idea of going away with him, but why didn't you do it? ”

Mrs. Zhen endured the pain and said: "Because twenty or thirty years have passed, I have forgotten my name, and I have forgotten that I am Mrs. Kang, I only remember that I am my husband's surname Zhen, and I am Mrs. Zhen." ”

Zhen Qiji's eyebrows couldn't help but condense sorrow. "Since you didn't agree to go away with him, why didn't he leave and continue to stay in the Zhen Mansion?"

Kang Peng said: "My originally wealthy family has been abandoned by me because of the death of my family, and I am now just a homeless person. If I leave the Zhen Mansion and go to the end of the world, I don't know where I should go...... I didn't have a home, so I thought this was my place, and there was a woman I loved, so I endured the torture and pain in my heart and stayed. ”

Zhen Qiji said: "Watching the woman you love live with others is indeed a very painful thing. ”

Then, he asked Mrs. Zhen, "If I give you a chance, are you willing to follow him and leave me?" ”

Mrs. Zhen didn't expect him to ask this question, and she didn't know what to say.

She looked at Zhen Qiji, then at Kang Peng, and lowered her head.

Zhen Qiji said: "This is a debt I owed thirty years ago, and I should repay it." Kang Peng, you take her away, before leaving, you can kill me, I will never fight back. ”

Kang Peng was stunned, not knowing what to say.

Zhen Qiji said sadly: "I have survived until now, and I feel very tired. ”

Zhen Qiji really felt very tired.

After getting the position of city lord, he knew that this seat was not easy to sit in.

He turned the long-haired old man's mansion into his own, which is now the Zhen Mansion.

After consolidating his Zhen Mansion, he began to develop various businesses in the city.

The city he wants to rule is a new city, and if he wants to make it a rich place, many things have to be built from scratch, and they must be better and more prominent than the average city lord.

It took him nearly five years to make the bazaar thrive, and another five years to make the city a place without worries.

Of course, in establishing the foundation for the city, he also tried more than once to obtain the countless gold, silver and jewels from the cave of the long-haired old man.

However, he sent people to try many times, and each time most of them were killed or wounded, and they returned in vain.

He finally knew that the institutions there were indeed very sinister, so he had to be ruthless and dispel the idea of coveting some money.

Moreover, while racking his brains to make the people who live here better, he must always be on guard against foreign invasions.

The first person he had to watch out for was Xiang Botong, and later his brother who did not die, Shi Zhongquan.

Xiang Botong already has a cottage and will not sneak attack, while Shi Zhongquan is a prodigal son, who always sneaks up from time to time, making the Zhen Mansion unpeaceful, and Zhen Qiji almost died twice.

For this reason, he raised some people in the rivers and lakes in his own house.

And Shi Zhongquan refused to give up, and repeated sneak attacks failed, so he gave up continuing to do this useless effort and went to build his own cottage instead.

Before building the village, he estimated that he needed a lot of money.

At that time, he also led people into that cave many times, but the result was the same as Zhen Qiji, all of them were in vain.

Knowing that the long-haired old man was scheming, he didn't dare to touch it again, and turned to other ways to make money.

It is naturally much easier to build a cottage with bandits than to build a city that only knows how to live an ordinary life.

With his ruthlessness and the reputation he had earned by assassinating Zhen Qiji many times, it didn't take long for him to have his own power, and as he gathered more and more money from his evil, he had more and more brothers.

Later, his power finally overtook the Qingfeng Mountain Cottage in Xiang Botong and became the largest cottage in this area.

His first cottage naturally gave Zhen Qi a headache.

For a while, he always had trouble sleeping and sleepless nights, worried that Shi Zhongquan would give him a surprise attack.

And after worrying for a long time, he found that Shi Zhongquan did not harass Qi Xuecheng anymore, and all his worries were superfluous.

He didn't know why Shi Zhongquan didn't attack the city again after he had power, or sent elite people to attack Zhen's mansion, but since he didn't harass anymore, he didn't want to think about it so much, so he was relieved.

Of course, he also knew that the reason why Shi Zhongquan had been quiet and no longer made sneak attacks must have some conspiracy, and he had to beware of it.

During that period of time, Wu Jinglong and Kang Peng entered his Zhen Mansion successively, he tested the two of them and knew that they were both first-class masters, so he arranged a "handle" to be a martial arts training ground and a confidant to be his own.

One is outside, publicizing the prestige of Zhen's mansion to the outside world, and the other is "inside" to collect secret information for Zhen Qiji.

When Zhen Qiji really began to put his mind at ease, it was when he had these two martial arts masters.

However, later, he suddenly found that his vigilance against Shi Zhongquan had been increasing, but his vigilance against the people around him was too little.

If he hadn't seen it happen that night, maybe he would have been kept in the dark until now, and he didn't know how he would have died in the future.

That incident was that he saw Kang Peng and Mrs. Zhen secretly meeting in an inaccessible place in Zhen's mansion, whispering to each other.

That night, Zhen Qizhi was sick in bed and couldn't move.

At that time, he felt a little uneasy, and as for any uneasiness, he couldn't say. So, without telling his subordinates and his wife, he secretly got out of bed and strolled through the courtyard.

Because he was sick in bed, and was seen by his subordinates, he was afraid that he would tell his wife, so he sought some secluded place where he could relax.

Unexpectedly, in a corner, I saw two people whispering.

Quietly walked over and hid among the bushes on the side, only to see that the two people, one was his wife, and the other was his henchman who had just been promoted, Kang Peng.

After listening to what they were talking about, he had a rough idea of the relationship between the two men.

And he didn't show anything about it.

Although he was already cold, he still pretended not to know anything, continued to reconcile with his wife, continued to treat Kang Peng as his confidant, and gave him many secret tasks.

He had always wondered why Kang Peng had many opportunities to kill him, but why he was so reluctant to do so.

The more doubts he had, the more uneasy he became.

His uneasiness continued to this day, in this chamber, when everything had been pierced......

Consolidate his foundation, he is very tired, consolidate the foundation and beware of the people around him, he is still very tired, these thirty years ago, he really did not live a good life.

He had thought more than once that it was better to die. Although he didn't put it into action, although no one killed him, he did have thought about it too many times.

Now, in this secret room, he has such a thought again.
