CHAPTER XIX
It was a vast barren expanse of desolation, all black fixed in the middle of the vastness, and as far as the eye could see, there was only a gloomy and depressed scene. The wind was blowing, and the black hair was flying. The blurred eyes gradually reflected the appearance of fire, and Shi Wei ran towards the mountain, and on the other side of the mountain, there was a scorching fire.
There was a clanging outside the house, and there was no time to recall the strange dream he had just had, so Shi Wei turned over and went out. It was the West Room that caught fire. The family and the maids were all in chaos, and the noise mixed with the sound of water shaking filled the Ding Mansion.
How could the west room catch fire. It's a place where unused items are stored, no one lives there, and no one usually goes there at night. Leaping up to the roof, the fire jumped on the tiles, but fortunately the fire was not very big and should be extinguished soon. Outside the west room, Ding Yangshan and Xiaoxiao are both directing their subordinates to extinguish the fire, and it should be fine.
"Isn't it fun to watch the fire here?"
Suddenly, a voice came from the side, and the man slowly paced out of the darkness.
"You did it." Shi Wei held the handle of the umbrella in his hand and said lightly, waiting to deal with the unknown situation at any time.
The corners of the man's mouth were always smiling softly, and he looked at Shi Wei's eyes and affirmed indifferently: "It's me." ”
"Fire is beautiful, I've always thought so." Qi Feng stood side by side next to Shi Wei, and the ruined scene of the west room came into view, "What do you think?" ”
"The Ding family has nothing to do with the affairs of the rivers and lakes."
"Unrelated?" Qi Feng chuckled, his voice was like the refreshing wind on a hot summer night, "I know everything about Broken Heaven Castle and Murong Gate, and you can't fool me with a word." ”
"Things are not as simple as they see, and you shouldn't let innocent people suffer." Shi Weidao.
"It's not like what comes out of your mouth." Qi Feng looked at Shi Wei and smiled, as if he was mocking and doubting, and then said, "The Ding family is a good family, but bad luck always finds a good person, are you right?" ”
Shi Wei didn't care what happened to other people in the world, whether it was pain or joy, it had nothing to do with himself. So why do you say the kind of words that defend the Ding family. Shi Wei didn't think about why, at this time she was nervous, and her grotesque personality and behavior made Shi Wei suddenly feel uneasy.
The fire in the west room has been extinguished. The blackened wood emitted green smoke, the occasional cracking click, and the smell of the fire being extinguished permeated the air. The panicked people's hearts gradually stabilized, and the body after being highly nervous became more tired, Ding Xiaoxiao yawned and accompanied Ding Yangshan back to the room.
"You don't have too few words, that's not good." In the middle of the day, he said in a tone of persuasion to the students like a teacher who was teaching, "Don't play, I have to go, it's not good for your health if you don't sleep well." "In the blink of an eye, the man was gone. He was accompanied by several figures hidden in the darkness around him.
The force of holding the umbrella decreased, and Shi Weizheng looked in the direction where the wind came. It's no longer safe here, but it doesn't seem that He Feng wants to kill the Ding family, otherwise it wouldn't be as simple as setting fire to the idle house. So what does he want to do, if he wants money, he can say it directly to Ding Yangshan, if he wants Ding Xiaoxiao's life, he doesn't need to make such a small move.
Rashomon, this legendary strange and mysterious sect, I am afraid that the rivers and lakes will set off another storm. Probably the storm has already begun. The wind picked up, the branches swayed, and gray replaced blue and covered the sky. Inky she held an umbrella and let the wind blow her hair.
It is not uncommon for houses to catch fire, although many people exclaim "Oh my God, how can this happen, this kind of accident is simply impossible", if in the past, Ding Yangshan would also think like this, often thinking that the impossible thing was indeed caused by an inconspicuous accident. Although Ding Yangshan is a businessman, business dealings, and doing business everywhere, he has also heard the three words Rashomon, and there are so many people up and down the Ding Mansion, and his worries have already stirred Ding Yangshan's heart countless times.
Not long after breakfast, a person hurried to Ding Yangshan's study, the book on the wooden table was shaken three times, and the man stood in front with a worried and anxious face, constantly sweating.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to keep it, sir."
Ding Yangshan waved his hand to signal the man to go down first, and when the door closed, Ding Yangshan slumped into the chair. One-third of the industry was lost overnight, and it was all caused by accidents. The store was inexplicably robbed, the goods disappeared inexplicably, and the contracts were terminated one after another. Damn it! Ding Yangshan once again hammered the gravity on the desk.
"Yangshan, can I come in?"
Yes, Madame. Fortunately, his beloved was not harmed, Ding Yangshan sighed and smiled at the door, "Of course, come in." Madame is a simple person, Ding Yangshan has never presented any negativity in front of her, and he is reluctant to see her worry.
The news that Shui Xuanfang was involved with Sijiang Lou should have spread a long time ago, but why this news suddenly spread, Shi Wei still hasn't figured it out. Broken Heaven Fort is now under Rashomon, and Rashomon is staring at the Ding family, so will Shui Xuanfang and Rashomon have anything to do with it. It seems that we have to go to the water house.
Ding Xiaoxiao was busy helping Ding Yangshan deal with the affairs of the store, his brows were furrowed, and he discussed the rescue plan with the steward next to him from time to time. What she didn't know was that the man had made a detour to look at her before leaving the house.
The Shui Xuan Boat is closed. It's not that it's closed for rest because of the bloody fight in front of it, but it's permanently closed. No, Shui Xuan Fang has finally risen to this status in Los Angeles, and it is normal for the store to encounter special accidents, and it should not be closed.
Instead of the lively scene of the wonderful singing and dancing that day, it was replaced by the emptiness of depression. It was cleaned up, and there was no trace of the bloody massacre of that day. The only marks left on the column heads and the window walls were probably ready to be closed, and there was no need to repair them.
The courtyard is so deep that there is not a single figure in sight. I suddenly saw a person around the corner, sitting at the stone table, with blue hair slightly tied together and wearing a red hairpin, with a style of clothes, elegant and glamorous. The tea on the table was bubbling with a fragrant aroma, and his lips and teeth were lightly opened, "Why hide it." Why don't you come and sit down, the tea is already brewed. ”
There was no one else around except himself, Shi Wei raised his foot and was about to move forward, the sound of the wooden wheel rolling came from the other side, Shi Wei withdrew his foot and waited for it to change.
"Childe is really powerful, he can hide here for so long without making a sound."
"It's still a higher level of boss, since I already knew that I was here, and I was calm and natural to make tea without being surprised."
Cheng Yi chuckled, her demeanor was sultry, and she didn't look like an elderly woman. "Childe came here, presumably because he has something to do with Sijiang Tower."
Shi Wei in the shadows stared at Cheng Yi, waiting for her next words.
"Boss Cheng said it well, but this situation surprised me a little, I thought you and I would have to fight to get Boss Cheng to say what I wanted."
"That's how it should have been." A cup of tea was pushed in front of Rong Heng, and Cheng Yi said slowly, "Sijiang Building, as you think, is not just a prosperous song and dance building on the surface. Otherwise, the building would not have been destroyed for so long, and there were still rumors about it from time to time on the rivers and lakes. Behind it, as you might expect, is a powerful and complex organization. ”
"Let me think about it, this organization is probably more than just one Sijianglou at the level."
"Childe can find here, and I don't need to confirm this sentence."
"Isn't Boss Cheng afraid of being punished by the organization for betrayal?"
The corners of Cheng Yi's mouth were hooked, but there was no smile, "Childe wants to know more, Cheng Yi has to make a suggestion to Childe and go to Dongze." Dongze's noble son can give his son more things he wants. ”
Dongze is located at the border of the country, and there are wars all the year round, and the people are miserable. There is a magical boy, who is ten years old, has learned a miraculous feat, is jealous and hateful by nature, and fights everywhere, which caused a lot of rumors in Dongze. At the age of fourteen, he founded the Dongze faction, taught people to practice martial arts, and maintained the order and safety of Dongze. In Dongze, there are people who do not believe in the imperial court, but there are no people who do not believe in the Dongze faction, and the Dongze faction has never crossed the line, and has not been disrespectful to the imperial court because of their own power and the unity of the people's hearts. Since then, the noble son, Yu Feng, ten miles of good stories.
"Along the way, I always feel that someone is leading our group of people, and the news always seems to be deliberately revealed to us one after another, I wonder if Boss Cheng has any thoughts on this?"
"Cheng Yi's words are over, whether Childe believes it or not, it's Childe's own business." Cheng Yi got up and prepared to leave.
"That's all Boss Cheng knows?"
"That's all that will be useful to Childe."
Rong Heng slowly tasted the tea that had been cold, and smiled gently, "You are not Cheng Yi." ”
Cheng Yi's body was shocked, and he instantly returned to his original state, and said with a soft smile, "Childe's words are really terrifying." ”
"Of course you should be scared." A person slowly came out from behind the tree, his appearance was no different from Cheng Yi, but his temperament was more mature and dignified, "You have already pretended to be Ziyun before, and now you are pretending to be me, which makes me panic." ”
"I don't know what you're talking about." Cheng Yi kept his composure, frowned and asked, "What's in it for you to pretend to be me a cabaret owner?" ”
"Don't pretend, if I don't want you to go, you won't be able to get out of the water boat even if you die. Who the hell are you? Cheng Yi under the tree raised his eyebrows and said.
"What a joke! It's hard for my own place to be in the hands of an imposter of yours. Her tone was full of momentum, but her hand clutching the corners of her clothes was clearly revealing her uneasiness.
"Why don't you sit down and have another cup of tea?" Rong Heng smiled. Cheng Yi turned around and wanted to leave, but was blocked by a person.
"Feng Ce, be merciful to the girl." Rong Heng said.
"Yes!"
Feng Ce can follow Yue Li's side, and martial arts are naturally not a problem. Although Cheng Yi has some kung fu, he is not Feng Ce's opponent without accident, and after a few moves, he was restrained, and the disguise mask was torn off, Cheng Yi pinched her face and looked at it, "Bai Qiong mentioned you before, but I didn't expect you to make such a big move." ”
"What do you know, this is all arranged by the Yue Alliance Lord! Let go of me! ”
"Are you talking about the Yue Alliance Master in my heart, you know better than me in your heart, you think you can deceive me by just playing tricks?" Cheng Yi made a split, Yu Zhu fainted and fell to the ground, his brows were tightly locked, and the Lord of the Ling League was afraid that it would be dangerous to return to the royal city.
"Thank you, Childe." Cheng Yi saluted Rong Heng.
"It doesn't have to be that way, I think the boss should be able to give me what I need as a thank you."
"Behind Sijiang Building is the organization, and it is the Sijiang League. I don't know how big the power of the Sijiang League is, but I dare to say that it is everywhere in the country, on the bright side and in the dark. Childe is bent on knowing what is behind Sijiang Tower, so it's hard for me to explain. The Sijiang League is actually the same as Rashomon, the good and the bad are mixed, but the Sijiang League is just a secret organization. ”
"Who is the Lord of the Yue Alliance?"
"Sijiang League has two Yue Alliance masters, one is Wang Yueyue, and the other is Xinyue Yue. My host is the latter. But we are more often called the Ling Alliance Lord, so as to distinguish another Yue Alliance Lord. Childe was right, someone did deliberately guide you all the way here. It is the arrangement of our Ling League master. ”
"It's a little confusing below. Why? ”
"Why did Gongzi all the way destroy Sijiang Tower in the first place?"
"This is ridiculous, how can you find someone to destroy your own alliance leader?"
This is ridiculous. As the leader of the alliance, he is not protecting and maintaining his alliance, but guiding outsiders to destroy his alliance step by step.
"Because the Sijiang League has more than one alliance leader, because the existence of the Sijiang League is a mistake."
"So you need to lend our hands."
"No, not to borrow, but to help, to fight together. Just at the beginning we had to guide you. ”
"You brought us to Shui Xuan Fang this time, so where is the next place?"
"The General's Mansion of the Dynasty."
"Sijiang League and the Great General." Rong Heng's heart sank, involving court officials, this is not as simple as a few bloody storms on the rivers and lakes, this has already involved the security and face of the country.
"Hmph." Cheng Yi sneered, "The so-called general is actually just a sanctimonious hypocrite. If the son is courageous, he will continue to investigate, the story behind this is no worse than Sijiang League. Wrong, the general is also a member of our Sijiang League. When it came to the general, Cheng Yi gritted his teeth and gritted hatred, exuding anger all over his body.
"How can I trust you?"
"Even if Childe doesn't believe it, he still has to check it out. The Sijiang League has existed for a hundred years, and its strict and deep concealment is not something that outsiders can find out if they want to, and if we hadn't guided you in secret, you wouldn't have had any chance to get to this point. Cheng Yi looked at Yu Zhu, who had fainted on the ground, and said worriedly, "It's just that we are not safe now." I'm afraid that what the Lord of the Ling Alliance has done has already been known to someone, and the next road may be difficult. ”
"Why are you so sure we're on the same line?"
"We are not sure, we just believe that we are not the only ones who think that Sijiangmeng is a mistake."
Do you ask if this world is dirty? Of course, this world is so filthy that it is difficult to put into words. You ask, is this world beautiful? Of course, all my good things exist in this world. I hate this world, but I also want to protect this world, and I want to listen to my inner strength with my meager strength, even if it is a praying mantis blocking the car.
The wind rises, silence spreads through the air, and thoughts of each other's expectations and decisions fly.
"We'll see you again." Cheng Yi broke the silence and helped Yu Zhu to leave, "Remind Gongzi and pay attention to Rashomon." ”
Did you hear that? What would you do if you were in the dark and lost all the time? The man in the wheelchair sighed silently, the blue sky above his head, the wind blowing through his fingertips, and then Shi Wei's umbrella walked in an unknown direction.
