Chapter 180: Killing
The tranquility of the town was broken by the grunting of carriages and the tapping of horses, who would have thought that there was only one inn in this town. Fortunately, the terrain of this town is cold, and the only inn in this town can arrange for this large group of people to live in it.
After Yun Yanzheng got out of the carriage, he sat alone on the steps of the courtyard of the inn. She looked up at the sky, and by the way, she glanced at the rows of guest rooms full of people living on the upper floors, and guessed idly which one was Gu Xi? If she goes up to him, will he believe her? Gu Xi is different from others, maybe he will believe it?
When all the voices were quiet, Yun Yanzheng was already curled up in the kitchen in the clothes of the shopkeeper, waiting for the opportunity. And the person who is staying in the wing room at the moment, disguised as her, is naturally the square scroll that has been following her. She had to admire his ability to handle things and survive.
She tiptoed to the most remote room in the entire courtyard that Fang Juan said, which was where Gu Xi was. In order to prevent Gu Xi from killing herself by mistake, she had already thought that she should knock on the window first. As soon as she approached the window, she heard the voices inside, and it seemed that someone had come one step ahead of her.
"Gu Shezhi, you don't need to quibble anymore? You have repeatedly used us to achieve your goals, whether it is Jing Ning or me, you have never hesitated. The voice sounded again, and Yun Yanzheng naturally knew who this person was.
"When did I take advantage of you?" Gu Xi's voice sounded faintly, without anger or joy.
"You took advantage of my guilt for you, handed over the power of the Nine Heavens Cavalry, and left the kingdom of Ul. I haven't gotten any news of the civil unrest in Wei, didn't you stop my secret guard? Didn't you appear in Gyeonggi at that time with ill-intentioned intentions and other scheming? Can you tell me calmly that your encounter with the Third Emperor Brother was not a deliberate plan, but really just a chance acquaintance with him, and it was like a friend at first sight? Are you really going to set foot in Gyeonggi with your friend for his sake? This sentence of reproach is exactly the suspicion in the depths of Yun Yanzheng's heart, and it seems that it was her own question at this moment, which almost shocked her.
"I'm not at ease." Gu Xi was still indifferent and quiet.
"Are you really just here to help me? From the bloody death, the haunting of the palace, the rebellion of the second emperor brother, the dispatch of troops by the Yu State, the pursuit and killing all the way, and the interception of the Yu army, what kind of role do you play in it, what position do you occupy, what kind of situation changes do you secretly control, and what kind of ending do you control? The words of "Yun Yanzheng" became sharper and sharper than one sentence, like a sharp knife peeling off the secrets that had been hidden between each other, and like a sharp knife, it cut into the heart of Yun Yanzheng who was standing outside the window and eavesdropping at the moment.
The things she has been trying her best to hide are ruthlessly revealed, and it turns out that there are so many secrets hidden between them. She has always chosen to turn a blind eye; has always chosen to avoid ignorance; I have always chosen to do what I want; has always chosen to cover his ears and steal the bell.
Yun Yanzheng's hand trembled slightly, some things, after thinking about it, made people tremble in their hearts and feel cold.
"I'm not pure, of course." Gu Xi whispered, his calmness was outrageous.
"Then you took advantage of your own death to deliberately discourage me, make me completely disappointed in the imperial power of the Ul Kingdom, make me feel cold and sad, make me wander, give up the Ul Kingdom, give up resistance and struggle. And all this is exactly what you are trying to do, and that's why you arranged all kinds of designs to come to Ul. You had all this in mind long before you came to Ul, right? You are well versed in people's hearts, and you play tricks, so that countless people fall into your trap without knowing it, like a fool and fool who puts you in control. And I am one of those fools, and it is a shame that I have tried over and over again to find reasons to cover up these things for you, and I have no excuse for all your tender methods! Do you think I'm pathetic and ridiculous when you've been looking at my jokes all these days? The voice of "Yun Yanzheng" was choked with a hard breath, and even did not hesitate to self-deprecate.
"Ah Yan, I always thought you knew, but I didn't care about that." Gu Xi suddenly said softly.
"Gu Gongzi, are you too arrogant?" She smiled coldly and said, "Can you, as a hunter, know how your prey feels?" If you were the one who was deceived and manipulated, would you not care at all? ”
"What grievances have you suffered all these days?" Gu Xi asked softly.
"Even if you suffer any humiliation, you don't need a trace of mercy." She said resolutely, her tone extremely cold and sarcastic, "As a prey, I can no longer bear your high mercy!" ”
"Ah Yan, you are burdened by me in all this, what I want to give you is not pity, care, protection, and ...... Love. Gu Xi's voice warmed slightly, Yun Yanzheng could even imagine the emotion on his face at this moment, and her heart couldn't help but hesitate a little at this moment.
"Love?" She said coldly: "Is it false love? Is it love that has a purpose but has not yet been achieved? Or is it unused love? The sound of step-by-step backward footsteps sounded, "I don't need any of this love." Gu Xi, don't pretend anymore, once a person has been hypocritical for a long time, it is like a mask on his face, he can no longer take it off, and he will never be able to see the true face below. I've seen too much, I'm already disgusted, Gu Shezhi, I'm already disgusted with your hypocritical mask, and I'm already disgusted with your truth, which I can never see clearly. ”
Gu Xi was silent for a long time, as if he was thinking about something, and only heard his breath rise and fall. It can be seen that his heart is no longer calm at the moment.
"Gu Shezhi, don't try to use me and Jing Ning again!" There was a warning in her tone.
"You want to be my enemy?" Gu Xi's timbre was cold.
"We've always been friend and foe, but I'm only waking up now. It's a little late, but it's not too late to make amends. She replied firmly, "Not only in the Wei Kingdom, but even later in the Mo Kingdom, you have been using me, controlling me, to achieve your goals, and not giving up the slightest opportunity, this is your means and ambition." When I was about to return to the kingdom of Wei, I disappeared so inexplicably, I believe that this matter cannot have nothing to do with you, your net is very big, and the bureau is also very deep, and you have used all the people around you who can be used step by step, but I am not willing to be a sparrow in your net again! ”
"What happened to you this time?" Gu Xi asked again.
"Don't pretend to act in front of me anymore, I don't believe a word of what you say from now on." She gritted her teeth, her tone full of disdain and indifference.
"So we have nothing to say?" He sighed softly, a hint of strangeness in his tone.
"That's true, if it's not a life-and-death duel, it's better not to see each other again." She said resolutely, with a wrong step, turned and opened the door.
The moonlight shone into the front of the house, and Gu Xi could be faintly seen sitting motionless at the table, holding the table with his right hand, and his eyes had been following the figure of "Yun Yanzheng" mercilessly moving away. Yun Yanzheng, who was standing by the window, was angry and annoyed in his heart, angry, why did this fake person make a decision for her and Gu Xi? Annoyingly, this question hit her heart, but Gu Xi never gave any explanation, and her words were still so calm and natural?
A slight sound of "poof" broke the silence between each other at the moment.
Yun Yanzheng turned his eyes through the window and saw Gu Xi pressing his chest, spitting out a mouthful of blood. She was anxious, didn't he chase "Yun Yanzheng", and didn't bother to talk about it, was he unwell? For a while, I remembered the last time I looked for him at night, the smell of blood in the room was shocking enough, and the blood Gu possession he said was even more terrifying. Seeing that he slowly fell to the table and didn't move anymore, Yun Yanzheng was in a hurry, didn't think about it anymore, jumped from the windowsill, rushed to him, and called in a low voice: "Gu Xi? ”
Unexpectedly, just a few steps away, when her hand was almost touching his body, a burst of silver light flashed in front of her. If her internal strength recovers, she may not be sure of evading, not to mention that now she is only left to be slaughtered. The silver needle entered the body, without a sound, and only felt that the whole body was scorching, like thousands of insects and ants.
Gu Xi opened his eyes and looked at her coldly, a smile on the corner of his lips.
Yun Yanzheng was vigilant for a while, but after all, it was late, and her body flashed, and someone still inserted a knife into her back, piercing her heart and lungs. There was a sudden coldness in her chest, as if something had broken, and blood poured out instantly, staining her clothes.
It seemed as if a finger was caressing her neck, and the words that wanted to reach her throat suddenly lost their voice. She avoided her feet and withdrew from the house with all her might, and for a moment she was about to slip. Someone suddenly grabbed her arm and hid her behind her, and when she looked at it, this person's figure turned out to be Jing Bai.
And the sound of fighting faintly came from outside the courtyard, and it was obvious that Jing Bai's secret guards and Feng family's secret guards were already entangled. Gu Xi and "Yun Yanzheng" chased out of the house, and "Yun Yanzheng" turned his head and asked Gu Xi: "If you succeed in one move, what are you going to do with her?" ”
Gu Xi's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at Jing Bai and Yun Yanzheng, and he was about to speak. Jing Bai had already grabbed Yun Yanzheng's arm and jumped up, the hidden weapon in his hand was scattered, and the figure flew to the roof at the same time.
Gu Xi also immediately flew up and chased away, and those hidden weapons didn't even touch his sleeves.
"Yun Yanzheng" stood on the ground, looked up, and reminded: "Gu Gongzi, since you have led the snake out of the hole, don't let the tiger return to the mountain." ”
While speaking, Gu Xi had already exchanged hands with Jing Bai, although Jing Bai was also a first-class master, but compared with Gu Xi, he was not his opponent.
Jing Bai grabbed Yun Yanzheng and dodged left and right, shaking her dizzy, her eyes were full of stars, and she was shaky. Seeing that Gu Xi was just a stone's throw away, but she wanted to capture Jing Bai, and she was next. She suddenly felt ridiculous, but she was seriously injured and had no strength. If the two continue to fight like this, I am afraid that she will also bleed to death without the help of others.
Gu Xi's moves were sharp, straight to the point, and with a "poof" sound, Jing Bai hit the chest, and a mouthful of blood overflowed and flew out of the roof like a paper kite. As soon as his hand loosened, he sank to the ground like a stone with the cloud of words and signs he brought out. The figure of "Yun Yanzheng", who was watching the battle, moved, and attacked her, and she was still holding on to the dagger that had just sneaked up in her hand, and the blood stains on it had not yet been wiped away, and Yin Hong slashed towards Yun Yanzheng.
Yun Yanzheng tried his best to dodge her blow, but Gu Xi's silver needle was too powerful, and after entering the flesh and bones, the internal force of the person was restrained and he couldn't move.
Is she going to die with her eyes closed like this, and even death is not clear?
At this moment, she turned her eyes to look at Gu Xi, and Gu Xi also happened to look at her, her expression was as cold as ice, and her eyes seemed as if there was no one like her in the world.
