Although he was a little confused, Li Mengzhou subconsciously felt that what the other party said was right, so he couldn't help but rub his eyes, and then he found that he really couldn't see.

But it was more of an illusion, for soon he could see clearly, though still vague, but at least he saw the guard who had fallen with fear.

I also saw Zhang Chong's slightly stiff figure not far away.

I also saw the girl with pear blossoms and rain in the carriage.

There were two people standing next to Li Mengzhou.

It is painted by Qingyi and Jiangzi.

Jiang Zihua tore a large corner of his clothes and covered his face.

And Qingyi is very frank and shows his true face.

Zhang Chong's face was ugly.

He didn't recognize Qingyi, and naturally it was impossible for him to recognize Jiang Zihua, who was covered with his face.

But he recognized the clothes that Aoichi was wearing.

With his position, it is difficult to know about the Heavenly Cardinal, but he is a person who came out of the Luwang Mansion, so he will naturally know some things that ordinary people don't know.

So in addition to his ugly face, he was more afraid.

He looked at Qingyi in disbelief, and said in a trembling voice, "Why are you here?"

Qingyi's face was as indifferent as ever, and he put his hands behind his back and said, "I was already here. ”

Zhang Chong's heart sank.

His face turned pale for a moment, and he said in surprise: "You killed the person?!"

Qing Yi shook his head, looked at the guards who fell to the ground, and said, "Without the instructions of the chief, I will not kill people at will, so people are not killed by me." ”

Zhang Chong lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

He suddenly looked up at the white-robed man beside Qing Yi who was trembling slightly, although it was difficult to detect, he could still see it clearly.

With a sneer, Zhang Chong said: "You should never have killed anyone, right? Then your reaction to the first killing will not be so bland, although there are always people who are more special, but you obviously will not be such a person." Whatever the reason, I just know it. ”

Jiang Zihua stared slightly, as if it was difficult to understand why Zhang Chong was so determined.

Zhang Chong turned to look at Qing Yi and said, "Since you did it, why don't you dare to admit it, could it be that you are acting without permission, and someone doesn't know?"

Qingyi frowned tightly and said, "These people still have a breath left, so I said that I didn't kill anyone, and there is no need to doubt it." ”

Zhang Chong was stunned for a moment.

He was a little annoyed, even if those guards really didn't die completely, but what was the difference between them and death, if they didn't get treatment, they would die soon, wouldn't this be considered killing people with their own hands?

Jiang Zihua also seemed to have a hard time understanding Qingyi's logic, so he remained silent.

Yes, he has never killed anyone before and not today.

Although the small sword was his, it was not his natal sword, so it was borrowed by Qingyi and used it.

According to Qingyi's logic, he really didn't make a move, because his hands were either behind his back or on his chest from beginning to end, and the sword that solved those guards also belonged to Jiang Zi's painting, and it had nothing to do with him.

Zhang Chong didn't care what Qingyi thought, in short, he was very angry, and said sharply: "I am from the Luwang Mansion, I serve in the military department, you have no right and no qualification to kill me!"

Qingyi shook his head and said, "You're mistaken, I didn't think about killing you." ”

Zhang Chong's angry expression turned to astonishment, and he said slightly: "What do you mean by this?"

Qing Yi pointed to Li Mengzhou, who was still trying to see things clearly and looked stupid, and said, "Because he is the one who wants to kill you, and I just want to ensure that he can successfully kill you." ”

Zhang Chong felt as if he had been tricked.

It's still the same sentence.

What's the difference?

He felt like he was going crazy.

It is idiotic to talk to someone who has a different logic from normal people.

Zhang Chong never considered himself an idiot, so he didn't plan to speak anymore.

Today's situation is just two paths of life and death.

There is no doubt that he will choose to survive.

He wants to report this matter to His Royal Highness Prince Lu.

So, he drew his sword.

Then he realized that he seemed to be ignoring a serious problem.

That is, can he beat the Qingyi?

As far as he knew, there seemed to be very few beings in that place that were lower than the realm of Chengyi.

And this man has been hiding here for a long time, and he has not noticed it in the slightest.

That seems to be enough to say something.

Even the white-robed man he thought had never killed anyone, if he hadn't been standing in front of him right now, he didn't feel the slightest breath.

The weirdest thing is that even if Qing Yi is really standing in front of him, he still can't detect the qi in this person's body.

He knew he had made a big mistake.

So he was very decisive, and the moment he drew his sword, he turned around and fled.

Jiang Zihua glanced at Qingyi silently, and then walked towards the carriage.

The girl's eyes were very blank.

Jiang Zi looked at it carefully for a while, and suddenly found that this little girl was very good-looking.

Then he tried his best to make the expression that he thought was the most handsome, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, girl, now you are safe." ”

But he seemed to have overlooked something.

The girl looked at the white-robed man with his face covered suspiciously, making sure that she didn't know the other party.

Then she ignored Jiang Zi's painting, jumped out of the carriage herself, and trotted towards Li Mengzhou, leaving Jiang Zi's painting messy in the wind.

Li Mengzhou was already able to see things simply, he looked at Zhang Chong who had escaped, and said in a deep voice: "You can't let him go!"

Qingyi looked at him and said, "You want to kill people, so I want you to do it." ”

Li Mengzhou did not hesitate, and was about to chase after him with his sword.

At this moment, the girl also came to him.

"I seem to know who you are. ”

Li Mengzhou paused, nodded at her, and continued to walk towards Zhang Chong.

Zhang Chong, who has already run a distance, is difficult to catch up with Li Mengzhou in his current state.

So Qingyi slowly stretched out a finger and lightly tapped it downward.

Zhang Chong, who was running, fell on the bluestone pavement with a thud.

Li Mengzhou's footsteps did not pause in the slightest, and soon stood behind Zhang Chong.

Looking at Zhang Chong who was trying to crawl forward on the ground, his expression was calm and terrifying.

No matter how hard Zhang Chong tried, the distance he moved was negligible.

His face turned red, and he roared in annoyance: "I am a member of His Royal Highness King Lu, you can't kill me! I want to see His Highness, I want to see the emperor!"

Li Mengzhou slowly squatted down, reached out and pulled Zhang Chong's hair, and lifted his head up.

The blood marks in the corners of his eyes, the red eyes, appeared in Zhang Chong's eyes, which was extremely terrifying.

Although this appearance was caused by him, it still couldn't stop the fear in Zhang Chong's heart.

"Who the hell are you? Why are you killing me?!"

Li Mengzhou squinted his eyes, and the tingling sensation had not completely disappeared, so his face twitched from time to time, and his voice was a little trembling and low.

"The girl in the gentle township is my friend, and you forcibly took her away, so I want to kill you. ”

Zhang Chong looked at Li Mengzhou in disbelief, and said in a dumb voice: "Are you crazy, for the sake of a mere Qinglou woman, you want to kill me?"

Li Mengzhou said: "Of course you have to return it to me, but the way to return it is up to me." ”

He lowered his head slightly, leaned close to Zhang Chong's ear, and said slowly in a voice that couldn't be lower: "I want to kill you because you are from Luwangfu, and because you are working for Qin Chengyi." This is just the beginning, all the people you are familiar with, all the people related to Qin Chengyi, I will kill them one by one. ”

A deep voice echoed in Zhang Chong's ears.

His eyes widened suddenly.

He didn't have time to grasp the deeper meaning of the sentence.

Because Li Mengzhou finished speaking, he raised the dark blue sword in his hand.

Then he stabbed Zhang Chong's back heart fiercely.

Looking at Zhang Chong, who struggled twice, he was motionless and staring at him, Li Mengzhou was quite happy.

Although he was not a person who had been killed entirely by his strength, it was the first time he had killed a cultivator of the Artistic Conception.

It was also the first person he had killed since he came to the capital.

At the same time, he is one of the targets he must kill.

Of course, Zhang Chong's role in this is minimal, and even Li Mengzhou doesn't know whether Zhang Chong played a role or participated in that matter.

But as long as it is the lackey of Qin Chengyi, Prince Lu, he has a reason to kill him.

Because he knows very well that none of these people are innocent, and even those who have not participated in that incident must have done other hurtful things.

is like what Zhang Chong did to her sister-in-law today.

Li Mengzhou walked back with a sword.

Jiang Zihua looked at the four guards who were still lying on the ground who had not completely lost their breath, but had already passed out, and asked, "What about these people?"

Li Mengzhou gently shook the blood droplets on the dark blue sword and said, "Zhang Chong is dead, except for us, they are the only ones who know, so the best solution is to shut them up forever." ”

Jiang Zihua looked at Li Mengzhou in horror, as if it was hard to believe that he would say such a terrible thing.

Qing Yi only frowned slightly, of course he agreed with Li Mengzhou doing this many times, but he felt that Li Mengzhou seemed to be very angry, not as harmless as he seemed on the surface.

Li Mengzhou turned his head to look at the frightened girl, and said softly: "It shouldn't be the first time Zhang Chong has done such a thing, and these guards who followed him must have been stained with a lot of innocent blood, so they are not worthy of sympathy. ”

As he spoke, he ended the lives of the guards one by one.

After doing all this, he looked at Jiang Zihua and said, "Although you didn't help much, I am also grateful for your help, please send Miss Wu'er back to Gentle Township first." ”

The girl lowered her head, stared at her toes, her long eyelashes moved, and she whispered without raising her head, "Thank you." ”

Li Mengzhou felt a little unnatural, such a quiet girl seemed a little unfamiliar, but what should be done, what he could do, had already been done, as for whether the girl could get out of the shadow in his heart, he didn't have any particularly good way.

But she's intact after all, and that's a good thing.

Thinking that although the girl was two years older than him, she was only a little girl, so she reached out and rubbed her head as a comforter, and said, "Go back." ”

The girl nodded, and left the street with Jiang Zihua.

Jiang Zihua muttered something full of slander before leaving.

But Li Mengzhou was not interested in listening, but stared at Qingyi in front of him tightly.

After a long silence, Li Mengzhou saluted solemnly: "Thank you." ”

Qing Yi said lightly: "Don't thank me, I didn't do anything, everyone here was killed by you." ”

Li Mengzhou smiled slightly and didn't say anything.

Qingyi, who turned around to leave, paused slightly, turned his head and said, "Take a good rest in the past two days, try not to read any books, otherwise your eyes will still have problems." ”

seemed to see that Li Mengzhou didn't care very much, and he said: "Your eyes hurt the nerves, not to be underestimated, if I hadn't cut off Zhang Chong's mental power, your eyes would have been blind in an instant, and even your head would have exploded, don't take it seriously." ”

Li Mengzhou hurriedly arched his hand and said, "I understand." ”

Qing Yi frowned, it was difficult to merge the now polite Li Mengzhou with the previous appearance full of anger, he shook his head and said, "I will deal with it here." But you also have to remember that this kind of thing can only happen once, and don't cause any trouble for the Heavenly Council. ”

Li Mengzhou agreed, but there was another idea in his heart.

How could this kind of thing only happen once?

Since the wildfire has been lit, it will definitely be a prairie fire, and it is impossible to extinguish it easily.

......

In the Tongming Alley of the child, the lights are still bright.

In the small courtyard where the white feathers were hung, there was a small pond, and there was a person standing by the pond.

He watched silently at the golden carp swimming in the pond.

Although it is not yet winter, and the water surface has not yet completely frozen, the pond is strangely steaming.

The courtyard door was gently pushed open from the outside, and Qing Yi stood behind the man with his head down, and said, "Si Tou, Zhang Chong is dead." ”

Qing Yi didn't agree to kill Zhang Chong for no reason or really because of Li Mengzhou's threat, so he naturally quickly asked Jiang Si Shou, and Jiang Si Shou unexpectedly did not reprimand him, but agreed to this matter.

This was very incomprehensible to him.

No matter what Zhang Chong did, after all, he was a person in the military department, a person from His Royal Highness King Lu, and an official of the imperial court, and he should not be killed by someone like Li Mengzhou.

And persecuting a Qinglou woman like Zhang Chong is not a capital crime, because the difference between the identities of the two is too big, even if he kills a Qinglou woman, there will not be any big crime.

This is an unwritten rule of power, otherwise there would be no division of three religions and nine streams.

It is not uncommon for powerful people to want to kill a slave who has no power or power, or even no personal freedom at all.

While this is a literal culpability, who really cares, and only those who are equally powerless.

Therefore, if Zhang Chong kills a woman in a Qinglou, he will at most punish some money, or even just be asked like a scene, and even no one will ask at all, what should he do. And if Li Mengzhou killed Zhang Chong, the court official, then his sin would be great, and the death penalty would be inevitable.

Jiang Sishou waved his hand at Qing Yi, and the latter stepped back respectfully.

Looking down at the golden carp that came to the surface and spit bubbles, as if staring at him, Jiang Sishou casually dropped some fish food, then turned around and walked out of the small courtyard and walked out of Tongming Lane.

At this hour, the palace gate had long been closed, and it was impossible for anyone to pass through, but for Jiang Sitou, it didn't seem to be a difficult thing.

He quickly arrived at the Imperial Study.

The imperial study is the place where His Majesty the Emperor reviews and rests, and there are only six guards standing far away outside the door, and the surroundings seem extremely quiet.

There was a chamberlain out of the imperial study, and the so-called chamberlain was a eunuch who did not have anything to serve His Majesty the Emperor and the ladies in the palace.

And the status of this kind of chamberlain in Jiang Guo is not very high, and it is impossible to really become the emperor's confidant, and there are many things that they cannot observe.

The chamberlains did not exist for long, and most of them were poor in their families, either sent by their parents or voluntarily entered the palace, and the original purpose was only to prevent starvation to death.

Even many other countries in the world do not have such a person, and His Majesty the Emperor Jiang also thought about abolishing the inner servant, but it was not implemented.

Although the chamberlain is no longer a man, he used to be a man after all, and he is far more thoughtful and useful than those handmaidens in handling many things.

The waiter led Jiang Sishou into the imperial study, and the waiter turned around and closed the door, standing quietly outside the door and waiting.

His Majesty the Emperor was dressed in a black and gold robe, sitting on the dragon seat behind the bookcase, and there were many notes to be reviewed and approved on the table, such as pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc., as well as a purple and gold pot of tea.

The tea that was drunk by His Majesty the Emperor is naturally the best tea in the world.

The glass cup is filled with a slight dark green tea, although the color looks weird, but the taste is mellow, it is the imperial tea specially offered for the palace - Jingmo Mountain.

The sound of footsteps outside the imperial study seemed to disturb His Majesty the Emperor's contemplation, and he put down the music in his hand, picked up the glass cup, and took a sip of tea.

Jiang listened to the rain and waved his hands as a salute.

His Majesty the Emperor waved his hand lightly and said, "There is no need for you and me to perform these false courtesies. ”

If you ask the entire Jiang Kingdom, the most trusted person of His Majesty the Emperor, except for the Empress Niang who sleeps with her, and the tallest person in the Pear Blossom Academy, is Jiang Tingyu, who is in charge of the Heavenly Academy.

Although Jiang Tingyu and His Majesty the Emperor are monarchs and ministers, they are also brothers.

It's just that the brotherly relationship between Prince Lu and His Majesty the Emperor is different.

The stove where the tea was brewing was still burning, and it was showing signs of drying, emitting a strange smell.

Jiang Tingyu's sleeve brought a gust of wind, blowing out the fire in the furnace, the fog and vapor were also cleared, the breeze passed through the window, and the breath became light and elegant again.
