Liao Yunfan took out a silk handkerchief from his pocket, wiped the fresh blood on his neck, did not chase it, his eyes were cold, and he kept looking at the clear figure disappearing around the corner.

——

Chen Jibai is not completely ignorant of this Zhong Yunian.

According to the information obtained from the secret report, although Zhong Yunian is now taking over the Zhong family on the surface, he actually has no real power, and the accompanying guards are all assigned by superiors, close to the staff in their twenties and thirties, proficient in eating, drinking and having fun, which can be regarded as a relief for him.

Now all the people who can speak are Zhong Yumin's wife Xue Hongmei.

In fact, Zhong Yunian is famous and ruthless, but in the final analysis, she is still not as good as Xue Hongmei, which makes it rumored that Xue Hongmei is the reincarnation of the martial arts queen back then.

Of course, this is a joke rumor, but the twenty or thirty staff members who followed Zhong Yunian were indeed retired officers, and the arrangement was chaotic, and it was long been impossible to find out the details, including undercover traitors, including Chen Jibai's people, and even Chen Muhe didn't know about this.

In the early years, Zhong Yunian had tricks and made great contributions to Zhong Yumin's incorporation of the Yuhu Army, but Zhong Yumin monopolized the real power in the north, and only divided Zhong Yunian into a fictitious position, and was afraid that he would be criticized by the world for not rewarding his merits, so he had to get the people around him who couldn't figure it out to Zhong Yunian, first, he would live and die, and second, he could take the opportunity to verify the identity of the twenty or thirty staff.

Zhong Yumin is really a deep calculation, and Zhong Yunian, the eldest brother, has also retreated into the background, and now that Zhong Yumin died suddenly, he appeared in front of him again, Zhong Yumin's three sons, one died, one was seriously injured, and one openly opposed Zhong Yunian by relying on Xue Hongmei, and also sent his henchman Chang Kun to kill Zhong Yunian's only son.

Because of this matter, from Yuzhou in the north to Yanxi, Chang Kun's wanted warrant was posted, and now that the war is raging on both sides of the northwest, Xue Hongmei naturally doesn't want to have another incident, thinking that she will hand over someone to go out to take the blame anyway, so she naturally agreed to this wanted warrant

Without the protection of the Zhong family, Chang Kun is also a lost dog, Zhong Yunian does not take him seriously, as long as he rewards Chang Kun's whereabouts with a heavy reward.

Chang Kun followed the secret letter on the marriage tree in the Yuelao Ancestral Hall, and found Hexagonal Alley all the way.

As the sun grew westward, the soft orange glow with wisps of night darkness shone straight into the barren and ruined temple at the end of the alley, Chen Jibai was standing on the edge of the dusty futon, silently closing his eyes, clasping his hands, and raising his eyebrows reverently and solemnly.

Under the baptism of wind and sun, the Buddha statue is mottled and peeled off, pitted, and covered with a layer of gloomy dust, looking a little crazy, but like a devil wearing a compassionate skin.

"Young marshal." Chang Kun called softly, looking at his resolute and strong back, a little nervous.

Chen Jibai turned around and walked over, although he had no expression, he smiled gently, and stuffed a stack of silver tickets with a moderate denomination in his hand into Chang Kun's hand: "Uncle Chang, you go quickly, the farther you go, the better, it's best not to come back." ”

Almost no one knows that Chang Kun is also a spy set up by Chen Jibai at the beginning.

"Young marshal?" His voice trembled, tears flowed in his eyes, but he didn't fall, "The young marshal treats me like a mountain, I desperately fled back and handed over the information I have collected over the years to the young marshal, now Zhong Yu came to Xiping City to arrest me, how can I leave at this time, then don't you want to take the blame for me, young marshal?" ”

Chen Jibai patted his hand as if persuading, a water-blue military uniform was like a wisp of ethereal smoke, and Chang Kun's eyes full of tears became taller and taller: "Uncle Chang, this is my Xiping City, it's not his turn to be wild, you Chang Kun is also my Chen Jibai's person, I can call you uncle, and naturally protect you." ”

Hearing this, Chang Kun shed two lines of tears, decisive and resolute in his eyes, as if he was going to die for a certain belief, holding the roll of money firmly, taking a deep breath, and turning around.

The back is tall and straight, like a poplar born in a storm, dissolving into the sunset, the dignified righteousness in the bones, in Chen Jibai's eyes, in a trance, but a little more kind.

This Chang Kun was Chen Muhe's old department back then, and he was the first person to teach him to shoot.

——

Early the next morning, on the top of the courtyard at the entrance of the vegetable market, a corpse was hanged, his hands and feet were cut off, leaving only a head and a bare body, the stripped body was purple, like air-dried bacon, and a pool of blood dripping from the ground had turned black, buzzing with insects.

Chen Jibai stood not far away, and recognized the corpse as Chang Kun at a glance.

At this time, the spring was cold, he was dressed thinly, and the wind blew in along the cuffs and collar, blowing cold on his body and heart, and goosebumps bulging densely.

His body trembled slightly, but he still seemed calm and walked back silently.

On the road, people whispered in twos and threes, saying that the man hanging on the entrance of the vegetable market was the murderer who killed Zhong Yunian's only son, and fled to Xiping City, he had no way to escape, Zhong Yunian came to Xiping at this time to find him, and I don't know how, he didn't hide, he ran to confess his guilt.

didn't say anything, only said that he killed the person, Zhong Yunian angrily slashed ten knives on him one after another, and he was also angry with Zhong Yunian, until before dawn he bit his tongue and broke his breath.

Chen Jibai listened quietly, his face was expressionless, but those who knew him well knew that he was extremely angry and sad in his heart at the moment. Turning straight to the end of the alley, a small hand timidly tugged at his cheongsam.

He frowned, turned around and saw a little boy selling cigarettes with a wooden box, staring at him with wide eyes, shyly handing him a crumpled ball of paper in his palm, turning around and running away.

He opened the paper ball and saw that a few lines of small characters were written on it, which was Chang Kun's handwriting.

"Young marshal, my identity and whereabouts have been exposed, and I will never go back until Zhong Yunian is captured alive. Zhong Yunian is in one day, the safety of the young marshal cannot be guaranteed, even if this is Xiping City, but Zhong Yunian I know too much, and I can't prevent it from doing the same thing, so I have to make this decision. ”

Chen Jibai's eyes were a little hot, his eyes were red, and he crumpled the paper again, but he still didn't shed tears.

He gathered a ball of paper and put the creed into the compartment of his leather bag.

——

I ran outside all night, and I also went to guard outside the Shuaifu for a long time, but I didn't wait for Chen Jibai, and when I passed by the vegetable market in the morning, I saw the person who was stripped of skin and bones hanging there, and when I was panicked, I looked up and saw Chen Jibai, he didn't find me, and he didn't bring any adjutant with him.

Seeing that he was not injured, I was a lot relieved, Liao Yunfan must have used the gunfire to scare me, I didn't know that I cared about Chen Jibai to the extent that I cared about it.

I chased after him, but Chen Jibai's legs were too fast, and I lost someone all of a sudden, so I had to wander around this alley alone.

It just so happened that there was a troupe living in this alley.

As soon as I stepped into the alley, the cold gun was on top of my head, and I saw seven or eight guards with spears in the narrow alley.

I was very cooperative, not noisy, not crying, not arguing, letting the guards walk against me with their spears, and through the narrow alleys, my vision was slightly broadened.

There are a lot of people in the troupe, but there are only a few top-notch ones, and you can tell who they are at a glance, and it just so happens that their names are embroidered on their clothes, and I can understand a little bit by looking at them.

Master Liu Sanchun and Senior Brother Bai Heng and Senior Sister Hua Peony were sparsely surrounded by guards in gray and cyan military uniforms, but the three of them were not afraid, and Hua Peony saw me coming, and there was even a trace of arrogance in her tall eyes.

"That's her! Sir, she is Chen Shaoshuai's fiancée Shen Qianxun! Hua Peony raised her fingers, her voice sharp.

I looked sideways and saw a general-like figure standing upright, his eyes narrowed in a line under the brim of his hat, sharp and deep, and even a little vicious.

The moment I saw the person who came, my blood suddenly churned violently!

In the previous life, he and Nanye Long should be united with the outside, opening the door of Greater China, making all the lives and souls everywhere, mourning all over the wilderness, and the winding blood river seems to have overflowed the dust of time, and it is bubbling alive again.

My heart was crumpled and cramped. Even the eyes that looked at Zhong Yunian were stained with blood.

This middle-aged man is Zhong Yunian, the eldest brother of the warlord Zhong Yumin in the north.

Bai Heng gave Hua Peony a warning look, Hua Peony closed her mouth stupidly, and only looked at me with a disbelieving face, the master of the troupe was an honest man, although he didn't know me, but he still defended me in a low voice on the side.

If there was no one next to Zhong Yunian, he didn't hear Liu Sanchun's good words at all, and walked over step by step, the sun was getting brighter, and I was bathed in the sun, wrapped in a layer of bright haze, but my eyes were extremely cloudy.

He paused in front of me, curious at the complex emotions that had suddenly appeared in my eyes, and he looked me straight in the eyes, holding his chest weakly, and the strangeness in his eyes gradually faded away, except for the ice and snow and sneering sarcasm.

Zhong Yunian's black-faced staff officer is famous, and the people next to him said a few words to him, all of them were drenched in cold sweat, this is the first time to see such a calm prisoner, and he is still a young woman, he can't help but be interested, laughed heartily twice, and teased me: "Su asked Chen Jibai Chen Shaomarshal has not had a relationship for many years, even if it has attracted many women to scramble, but none of them are sincere, but now I have a lifelong agreement with your little girl, I am old, I can't keep up with the pace of you young people, but I want to see it after all, What do you have to fool men? ”

It's not to see what I'm capable of, but to blackmail Chen Jibai with me.

I felt a pain in my chest, as if I was about to explode, and sure enough, the young handsome's daughter-in-law was not good.

Zhong Yunian saw that I looked sick, and as he spoke, he really picked up the platinum fountain pen pinned to his jacket pocket, picked up my chin with a sleek and static pen, raised it slightly, looked left and right, sighed twice, and the irony was difficult to understand.

I hate this kind of warlord who divides the high and low of women into three, six, nine and so on, not to mention that this person is also the culprit of the displacement of the people who harmed the people in the previous life and was trampled on by the Dongying people, even if it has not happened now, but I have a big knot in my heart, which I really can't let go of and is difficult to unravel.

Zhong Yunian saw that I frowned deeply, gloomy, like thick clouds with rain, but those slightly drooping eyes were clear and distinct, black was inky black, white was jade white, without a trace of mixed color, very good-looking, the tips of my fingers actually touched my eyebrows, trying to iron out the wrinkled lines for me.

I had a cold face, I didn't care about the gun that the guards were holding on top of my head, and instinctively pushed his hand away, Zhong Yunian was stunned, laughed, and suddenly said to me: "Many years ago, I lost a child in the Shen family, if she is still there, she must be as old as you, have you seen such a girl?" ”

Boom, I was stunned and blurted out, "What do you mean by that?" ”
