Chapter Seventy-Four: Retirement
Back in the Nuanxiang Pavilion, Luo Gen saw Zhou Miaotong doing female red embroidery, compared to Zhang Yan, she has experienced many things to be more mature, but in fact, ......
"I'm back." Seeing Luo Gen enter the house, Zhou Miaotong said softly.
It seemed that she had gotten used to the feeling that Logan felt like her home, and would even greet her with words like 'back'.
Logan just sat down and poured himself a glass of water.
At this time, I saw Zhou Miaotong looking up at him and said, "Do you know about the Yan family?" ”
Zhou Miaotong's face was stained with tears, obviously she had just cried. After all, there was a young first love once had.
"I just knew, I didn't plan to tell you, but I didn't expect you to already know." Logan said calmly as usual.
"It was made by Jinyiwei." Zhou Miaotong looked distracted, "They framed the Yan family as eunuchs, and the Jinyi guards came to arrest people and killed many people." ”
Logan raised his eyes and glanced at her, and said lightly, "You are still worried about him and want me to save him?" ”
Zhou Miaotong looked at him and nodded slowly.
"Can you do me a favor?"
Logan shook his head and rejected her very dryly.
"I hope you can understand that the risk of avenging you is because you are my woman, but what is he, I am not that great."
Logan's refusal so simply made Zhou Miaotong unexpected.
She thought that Logan would help her, and she thought that for the sake of the husband and wife relationship between the two that had become a fact, he would not refuse.
"Why? Just because he was my first love? Zhou Miaotong suddenly shouted emotionally.
Logan looked at her with a frown, a wave of irritability in his heart for no apparent reason.
"Because Yan Gongzi likes me, you want to target Yan Gongzi, and you don't even want me to ask you to save him!" Zhou Miaotong stood up excitedly, tugged at Logan's clothes, and said with a crying voice: "Please save him." Would you like to save him? ”
The irritability in Luo Gan's heart became more and more intense, and he felt a faint sadness in his heart when he saw Zhou Miaotong's crying rain and pear blossoms begging him to save that Yan Gongzi.
"Zhou Miaotong!" Logan grabbed her hands and forcefully told her to stop her crazy behavior.
Logan looked her in the eye and said word by word: "You heard me clearly, I don't owe you." I'm kind to help you, but it's natural that I don't help you, don't think I owe you anything! ”
After speaking, Logan shook his hand, and Zhou Miaotong sat on the ground weakly with her legs.
She looked ahead with vacant eyes. muttered: "You don't owe me anything, you have a reason not to help me......"
Logan couldn't help but sigh when he saw her like this, and stretched out his hand to help her up.
But she pushed him away.
"You go, you go for me, I don't want to see you, you go for me!" She raised her head and let out a hysterical shout at Logan.
Logan stared at her for a full five seconds, then flicked his sleeve. Angrily departed.
"Peng ......"
Hearing the sound of Logan slamming the door away, Zhou Miaotong's empty eyes suddenly shed two lines of tears.
Walking down the street, Logan had the feeling that no one was pleasing to the eye.
Everywhere he passed, everyone avoided him, and looked at him as if they had seen a flood beast.
The boredom in his heart made Logan unconsciously walk to the ferry.
He stopped, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes, and the picture in front of him seemed to go back to a few days ago. That was where Zhou Miaotong brought him, and the two talked happily.
Shaking his head, the picture in front of him was shattered.
"Hey!" Logan sighed.
He suddenly figured out why he was so angry today, and he would be so unhappy to hear Zhou Miaotong begging him to save the guy surnamed Yan. It's still jealousy.
He clearly knew that Zhou Miaotong had not completely given up on that Yan Gongzi in his heart, so he was jealous, after all, Zhou Miaotong was the first woman he fell in love.
Luo Gen didn't notice it when he came to it, but today Zhou Miaotong begged him to rescue the guy surnamed Yan, and ran out to relax in a distraught, but suddenly figured it out.
Now that I have figured it out, I feel much calmer.
After standing at the ferry for a while, Logan returned to the Warm Fragrance Pavilion.
Now that he has thought it through, Logan can try his best to keep a normal heart to deal with Zhou Miaotong's affairs.
"I can save the surname Yan, but after that, you have to let go of everything, and treat me from the beginning, I don't like half-hearted women." Logan said.
Back to the Nuanxiang Pavilion, Lin Han quickly ran up to the third floor, and when he pushed the door and entered Zhou Miaotong's room, he found that Zhou Miaotong was still sitting on the ground, looking like he was out of his mind, and Luo Gen said.
"Don't leave me, I don't still like Yan Gongzi, it's just that there are some things I can't let go!" Zhou Miaotong saw Logan come in, hugged him and said.
stepped forward, Logan directly leaned down and picked up Zhou Miaotong horizontally, and then walked towards the bed.
Putting her on the bed and lying down, Logan looked at her haggard appearance and felt a little pity in his heart, but he still turned around and fetched her a basin of face wash, and soon came over with a towel to carefully wipe the tears on her face.
During the whole process, Zhou Miaotong's face was entangled from beginning to end.
Logan put down the towel and sat on the edge of the bed looking at her.
Half a day later, Logan sighed and said, "I won't leave you, I was just a little jealous just now, I promised you to save the guy surnamed Yan, but you can't see him again in the future, you are my woman." ”
Sure enough, hearing Logan's words, Zhou Miaotong's eyes had a glow again.
Seeing this scene, Logan was angry and funny, how did she feel as if she owed her in her previous life?
"Are you really willing to save Yan Gongzi? If it's dangerous, you can't go. Zhou Miaotong looked at him, and she found that Logan in front of her seemed to have changed as if he had changed, and his eyes were very strange, special...... Gentle!
"Well, you're like this, if I don't agree again, you won't have to die to show me!" Logan gave her an angry look.
Zhou Miaotong looked at him, didn't know what to say for a while, and finally could only say 'thank you'.
Since he promised Zhou Miaotong, Logan did not hesitate.
"Rest well and wait for my good news." Logan stood up and said.
The Imperial Prison is a place where serious offenders are held.
This kind of place is heavily guarded.
However, Logan didn't come in in a normal way, and directly pasted a simple Maoshan stealth yellow talisman on his body, and then swaggered into this rumored extremely terrifying edict.
Entering the Imperial Prison, Logan found that this place was indeed quite gloomy, and all kinds of screams always echoed in the space, and the resentment was so thick that it could not be resolved for hundreds of years.
After a while, he found the kid surnamed Yan, but when Logan found him, he found that this guy was blind.
Not only was he blind, but his body was full of wounds, such as those burned with a soldering iron, whipped with a leather whip, and cut with wire...... All kinds of wounds, apparently here he was tortured not lightly.
Logan doesn't have a good impression of him, but since he has promised Zhou Miaotong to save this guy, Logan can't be untrustworthy.
Knocking the two guards unconscious, Logan appeared in front of him.
"Hey~! Not dead, right? Logan patted him on the head unceremoniously.
"Who are you?" The kid surnamed Yan said weakly.
"Me? The man you have seen, who ransomed for Zhou Miaotong, she asked me to rescue you out, let's go. With that, Logan untied the chains from his body, and he sat down directly on the ground.
"Get out? What can I do when I go out like this? Yan Junbin shook his head and said weakly to himself: "I am already a wasted person, my eyes are blind, my hands have been cut off, and I can only become a burden to others when I go out." ”
"And what do you want?" Logan asked lightly. (To be continued)
"Kill me, I don't want to be tortured anymore."
Yan Junbin raised his head, his eyes were unfocused, and even his face was looking in the wrong direction.
"Kill you, how can I explain to Miaotong?" Logan said with a depressed face.
"You tell her, don't wait for me, I'm sorry for her, what I promised her can't be fulfilled." Yan Junbin laughed miserably, his words full of despair and guilt.
Logan looked at him, he didn't speak for a while, he wanted to complain, comrade, you think too much.
"Kill me, please kill me." He still repeated the words in his mouth, and his deep tone seemed to be talking to himself.
Logan hesitated, but finally nodded.
"Well, as you wish." As he spoke, Logan waved his hand and took out a syringe and injected a potion into Yan's body, which was the euthanasia he had brought out of the world of the League of Assassins.
……
Back at the Warm Fragrance Pavilion, Logan paused at the door before pushing the door open and walking in.
failed to bring back the kid surnamed Yan, and Logan didn't know what Zhou Miaotong would think.
In the room, hearing the sound of the door opening, Zhou Miaotong immediately turned to look at the door.
"Yan Gongzi rescued?" Zhou Miaotong looked out of the door, hoping to see the figure in his memory.
Unfortunately, there was no one outside the door.
Logan closed the door and walked up to Zhou Miaotong to look at her.
"What about Yan Gongzi?" Zhou Miaotong looked at Logan nervously.
"He... He's dead. Logan opened his mouth, hesitating to tell the news of Yan Junbin's death.
Zhou Miaotong was stunned. The expression on her face stopped for a moment, her eyes full of doubt.
"No way, you're lying to me!" She shouted.
"I didn't lie to you!" Logan exclaimed, "He's dead, and he begged me to kill him." ”
"He said he was already a wreck, and he didn't have the face to see you. For those promises yours. He will never be able to make it happen. Let me say to you on his behalf, I'm sorry! Logan took out the video recorder that recorded his conversation with Yan and showed it to Zhou Miaotong.
Zhou Miaotong staggered, "Impossible." Why did he ask for death, he promised me, he promised me to take me to a place with beautiful mountains and rivers. Her whole body seemed to have lost her soul, and the tears in her eyes couldn't stop flowing.
Logan looked at her and didn't say a word, it was better to let her calm down at this time, what she said would only stimulate her even more.
The news of Yan Junbin's death made Zhou Miaotong's whole person almost collapse.
At the same time, the three brothers Lu Jianxing on the other side of the capital also received an invitation from Lord Han's mansion at this time, inviting them to attend tonight's dinner.
Lu Jianxing, who had just reunited with his beloved woman, was reluctant to attend this dinner, but Lord Han appointed the three brothers and named them to participate, so Lu Jianxing could only temporarily put aside his children's personal feelings and took the two brothers to the dinner.
But what happened at the dinner party was far beyond Lu Jianxing's imagination, and even caused a crack in the relationship between the three brothers to appear in an instant.
The heart of joy that was originally because of the reunion with his lover also fell to the bottom in an instant.
When he came back from Lord Han's mansion, Lu Jianxing turned his face with Shen Lian on the spot, he asked Shen Lian what he was hiding from them, and he asked Shen Lian if he had watched Wei Zhongxian die in the fire.
Under Lu Jianxing's questioning, Shen Lian said all the things and told his heart, he never thought that things would come to this point, it was originally a good thing, but now it has become a big disaster.
That night, the three brothers discussed that they would leave the capital tomorrow and stay away from this place of right and wrong.
And this night, Logan accompanied Zhou Miaotong all night, her mood was very low, and she didn't say a word all night.
Logan would rather she be able to vent the frustration in her heart and scold her for a good time, which is much better than holding it in her heart like now.
Early in the morning, Logan prepared breakfast for her, but unfortunately she didn't seem to have any appetite.
In the afternoon, Shen Lian came.
"What's wrong?" Shen Lian said with concern.
Although Logan didn't want to see the male protagonist, he still said: "Yesterday, Yan Junbin died. ”
"Yan Junbin? That's the ......."
"Yes, it's the one you took to prison." Logan interrupted: "Yesterday Miao Tong asked me to save him, but when I got there, he was already a waste, he begged me to kill him, and I fulfilled him." ”
"Miaotong." Shen Lian called softly, but Zhou Miaotong didn't look at him.
Shen Lian frowned, but still took out what he had prepared.
"I came here today just to take Miaotong away, you see, I even have the silver ready." Shen Lian handed the silver ticket in his hand to Luo Gan.
Logan was about to laugh angrily, "Do you think I will go with you after I accept the money?" ”
At this time, Zhou Miaotong finally turned her head to look at him, and Shen Lian thought she had agreed, so he reached out to pull her away.
Who knew that Luo Lian didn't use his hand, Zhou Miaotong shook off Shen Lian's hand, she looked at him blankly, her eyes made Shen Lian suddenly feel like she had seen it somewhere.
"At the age of twelve, Jinyiwei raided my home and sent me to the Jiaofang Division, who was also Jinyiwei."
Logan turned his head to look at her, and then at Shen Lian, the corners of his mouth curled slightly.
Zhou Miaotong continued......
"From the first time I saw you, I was afraid of you. I hate your Flying Fish suit. And that embroidered spring knife. You think I like you? I'm afraid of you. ”
Shen Lian was stunned, he had already remembered.
When Zhou's house was raided a few years ago, he was also there, and Zhou Miaotong's eyes were exactly the same as the eyes of the little girl in the ruins!
"I know you're good to me. But I can't forget. Your face is so clear. On the day Zhou's house was raided, I saw you, and I saw you arrest my father with your own hands. ”
Speaking of this, Zhou Miaotong was about to cry.
She paused for a moment, as if suppressing her emotions, she raised her head and looked at Shen Lian with an inexplicable look in her eyes.
"Are you still going to take me away?"
"Lord Shen."
thought that she had taken revenge, she had already let go of a lot, but because of Yan Junbin's incident, she suddenly reminded her of everything in the past, even if there was no Logan, she would not be with Shen Lian.
"Huh?"
Logan suddenly frowned and looked out the window.
"Who?" He saw figures outside the window, each with a crossbow in their hands.
The next moment, the hand crossbow was fired, and one after another crossbow arrows were fired at Shen Lian.
Logan took out his gun and blocked it in front of Zhou Miaotong.
Shen Lian had already fought with those four people, and he looked a little invincible.
Logan waved his hands and arced across the killers' chests.
In the blink of an eye, all the people fell to the ground.
At the same time, it was already dark in the capital, and Lu Jianxing on the other side was rushing towards the agreed place with his lover.
But before they arrived at the agreed place, they encountered a large number of Jinyiwei's men.
has to take care of lovers and deal with a large number of brocade guards, Lu Jianxing's situation has become precarious.
And while Lu Jianxing was in danger on his side, a battle was really going on on the Egret Medical Hall's side.
The two sides of the battle were Jin Yichuan and his senior brother, Jin Yichuan was led here by his senior brother before, he thought that Zhang Yan had an accident, but when he arrived here, he found out that he had been fooled.
Zhang Yan was not in the Egret Medical Center at all, in fact, Zhang Yan had already gone out at noon and never came back since.
However, although Zhang Yan is not there, that Dr. Zhang is here, and he has been killed.
Jin Yichuan likes Zhang Yan, there is no doubt about this, now that Zhang Yan's father has been killed, and the other party is also the senior brother he has always hated, not to mention that now his senior brother is also going to kill him, he naturally wants to resist.
When he started to move, Jin Yichuan's tuberculosis seriously affected his performance.
Originally, the two could be said to be evenly matched, and it was not certain who was strong and who was weak.
But because of Jin Yichuan's illness, it was hard for him.
On the side of Nuanxiang Pavilion, Zhao Jingzhong and Zhao Gonggong suddenly appeared at the other end of the corridor.
"Good to Miaotong." Shen Lian looked at Luo Gen and said a word, then stood up and turned to face Gonggong Zhao.
The two fought without saying a few words, although the surname Zhao was a eunuch, but he didn't expect the weapon he used to be a heavy gun.
Logan glanced at the two men in the fight. looked at Zhou Miaotong and asked, "Do you want me to help him?" ”。
Zhou Miaotong looked at him and said lightly: "You won't watch him die here." ”
Logan smiled, didn't speak, and just stood up and walked over there.
"It's been so many days, and it's time to end it all." Luo Gen stepped forward, grabbed Shen Lian's back with one hand and pushed it to the side, then reached out and grabbed the head of Zhao Gonggong's spear, and twisted the spear into a twist with a slight twist.
With a pull and a push, the tail end of the iron spear stabbed directly into Zhao Gonggong's chest, and his head emerged from his back.
Zhao Gonggong looked at Lin Han with a face full of disbelief, and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but his mouth was full of blood, and in the end he didn't say anything.
Logan rushed to the Egret Medical Center, and outside the medical hall, a group of brocade guards were lying in ambush, each holding a musket in their hands.
In the courtyard of the medical hall, Dr. Zhang's body fell to the side, Jin Yichuan had already fallen to the ground, and his senior brother put a knife on his chest, as if he was talking about something.
At this time, it was already snowing heavily in the sky, and the vision became unclear.
Vaguely, Ding Xiu seemed to see a series of dark shadows wandering outside the courtyard.
The next moment, he saw several men in black rushing up to the roof, holding muskets in their hands.
"They even want to kill me." This idea popped into Ding Xiu's mind for the first time.
Then the next moment, he didn't know what he was crazy about, and he kicked Jin Yichuan on the ground away.
A few gunshots rang out, and two bullets hit the ground, where Jin Yichuan was lying before, while another bullet hit Ding Xiu's chest.
Logan took out his gun, and it took less than half a minute for all the men in black to be killed.
He swept his gaze and landed on Ding Xiu's body, and found that Ding Xiu was only shot in the shoulder, otherwise Ding Xiu would be dead.
"Jin Yichuan! I'm not dead! Rogan suddenly looked at Jin Yichuan and shouted.
……
West City Gate.
Logan took Jin Yichuan and they came here.
The brocade guards of the brigade had already gathered here, and Logan saw that Lu Jianxing and his lover were tied to a shelf, and Shen Lian had also been subdued.
"Big brother, second brother!" Jin Yichuan helped Ding Xiu, and when he saw the eldest brother who was tied up and the second brother who was subdued, he couldn't help but shout loudly.
"Yichuan, you go quickly, get out of here, don't come back!" Lu Jianxing shouted loudly.
Shen Lian was escorted by several brocade guards, and looked at Zhou Miaotong among the several people, and there seemed to be a sense of relief and satisfaction in his eyes.
At this time, Logan stepped out of the crowd and walked towards Shen Lian's side.
One of the hundred households leading the team saw it and hurriedly shouted: "Stop, you stop for me!" ”
Rogan didn't hear it, and still walked straight over there.
At this time, several brocade guards rushed over boldly, but Logan pulled out his gun and began to fire.
When Logan came to Shen Lian and them, the brocade guards who were in the middle had all fallen into the dust.
Everything was over, Logan didn't pay any more attention to Shen Lian and them, and took Zhou Miaotong's hand and galloped into the distance......
