Chapter 13: The Hanging Corpse
There were not many people, so naturally it would not be particularly crowded, so Ning Chen quickly walked to the nearest notice board. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
There were still previous notices posted on the notice board, and Ning Chen flipped through them, and there seemed to be no new notices.
It seems that Xie Laosan and they are not willing to publicize this matter to the outside world, there is nothing to publicize in the first place, but the notice of the loss of the Qianxin Sutra is still posted on it, they may find that they have escaped, but they dare not say it.
"There is no news here for the time being, let's go to the tavern and inquire......" Ning Chen just wanted to leave, but saw a group of officers and soldiers coming over.
If you think about it, just now they were pushing a corpse out of the city, so it's impossible to announce that they won't give a single one.
"Officers and soldiers act, civilians avoid!" In fact, there was no one to stop him at all, and it was raining, and people couldn't hide.
The officers and soldiers walked to the bulletin board and began to post announcements.
After posting, he looked around, there was no one, he saw that it was raining a lot, and he simply stopped near the notice board, at least there was a canopy on the notice board.
Ning Chen walked to the side of the notice board, but the officers and soldiers were on the side, so he could only lower his hat and look at it with his spare eyes.
"Recently, the Cangyan Holy Sect came to our city, and the city was full of brilliance, but the Cangyan was powerful and attracted the attention of Xiaoxiao, and our city was negligent in taking precautions, so Xiaoxiao took advantage of the situation to enter, the responsibility lies with me, and Gan voluntarily accepted punishment. ā
Cangyan Saint Sect ...... This sect has never called itself such a ......
"Xiaoxiao pretended to be an orphan, since my city and the Cangyan faction became friendly, he lurked in my city, waiting for an opportunity, and finally made a difficulty, assassinating Yun Shaochen, one of the heirs of the head of Cangyan, and now the assassin Chen Mou has been ambushed, and the body will hang outside the city gate......"
Five thunderbolts.
"Assassin...... Chen Mou?"Chen Mou is very loyal to Gan Yue Geng Ningchen knows very well, Gan Yue wants Chen Mou to die, Chen Mou will not frown, Gan Yue wants Chen to murder Ning Chen, Chen Mou will kill Ning Chen in pain!
"It's just that the forces behind the assassin are not clear, Chen Mou still has an adopted son who is still on the run, his surname is Ning Mingchen, and his martial arts are still ......."
Hanging corpses outside the city!
Ning Chen suddenly remembered that the corpse he saw that was pushed out of the city gate, that person was ...... Chen Mou!
Ning Chen slowly withdrew from the crowd, walked to the corner, and then rushed to the city gate like crazy, and the soldiers at the gate did not stop him when they saw him.
The corpses were hung silently from the city gates, left to the rain and wind.
The person who hung the corpse is no longer there, and on a rainy day, there will be no idlers who run out to see the hanging corpse, this kind of thing is too common in Changqing District, and this kind of punishment is not even invented by Gan Yue.
Ning Chen was the only one on the empty bridge outside the city, and the whole bridge was as cold as a lonely night.
"We have no father or mother, and we can't rely on each other, you can't rely on me when you want to die, and you can't help me when I want to die. You must be cold-blooded, don't always think about repaying your kindness, and if I die one day, don't avenge me. That person's words rang in Ning Chen's ears,
"You are the best reward for me if you listen to me, but you never listen. It was as if Chen Mou whispered in his ear.
Is it useful? You can't protect Sister Ning, and you can't protect your freedom! Ning Chen vaguely remembered yelling at Chen Mou.
"The so-called justice you insist on has never been realized in Changqing District, but the freedom I am pursuing may be realized one day in the future. Chen Mou replied at the time, "You don't know here, the Great Hong Ancient Kingdom can't manage the Changqing District, and the Great Wilderness Yuan Kingdom can't get involved in this place, there are rules of the game here." We must believe in Gan Yue, only he can lead Changqing District to become Changqing Country!"
But what if you, who know the rules of the game, are also sacrificed by him?
"You must not be merciful, for no one will feel sorry for you when you die. The last words Chen Mou said to Ning Chen, Ning Chen finally remembered it.
Ning Chen finally understood why Chen Mou said this, because he knew that he was already going to die. Like a moth to a fire, he chose to perish, and he did not hesitate.
Because he will die before himself, because he knows that he has become an outcast.
"This man is the one who assassinated me, and it seems that he has become Gan Yue's scapegoat. Yun Shaochen's voice sounded in Ning Chen's ears, and Ning Chen was silent.
Seeing that Ning Chen didn't speak, Yun Shaochen sighed: "His strength is very strong, and his strength is at least the world's first-class master, if he enters the Tao with martial arts, he will definitely be able to become a monk on the side of the famous town." And even if he doesn't cultivate the Tao and fights hand-to-hand combat, I'm not his opponent, let alone his sneak attack...... He's out his sword so fast that I have to be five feet away from him now to be sure of winning him. ā
"He's really good, and I learned all the things I learned from him. Ning Chen said, "After so many years, I still haven't reached his realm...... At the beginning, when he was performing in front of me, a passer-by passed by, and he quietly took the passer-by's money bag, showed it to me, and sent it back, and the passer-by was unconscious......"
ā......ā
"But he's too cowardly. Ning Chen said, "I was adopted by him, but my name was not given by him." ā
"Is he important to you?" asked Yun Shaochen.
"There are two people who are very important to me, one is him, Brother Chen, and the other is Sister Ning, who are the ones who adopted me. Ning Chen said, "They are childhood sweethearts, and they agreed that if they give birth to a girl, they will name him Chen Ning, and if they are boys, they will be called Ning Chen...... Then they picked me up, and I was only three years old at the time, and I had been picking up trash and eating leftovers from other people's food. ā
"They asked me if I would like to go to Changqing District, where there is food. I said yes, and I'll be here, and I'll be there for eight years. I have probably experienced a lot of things, such as watching Sister Ning jump off the cliff with the child in her arms......"
"Are they all dead?"
"All of them are dead, including Xiao Chenning. Ning Chen said, "She is only four years younger than me, and she is still a child who always likes to follow me, and in the past few years, I have not seen anyone following me, and my heart is always empty......"
"Accept the reality, everybody dies. In this world, the sun may rise in the west, but it is impossible for man not to die. Heaven can be reversed, and fate cannot be violated. Yun Shaochen patted Ning Chen's shoulder, "Brother, mourn." ā
Ning Chen didn't accept his persuasion, but turned around and looked into his eyes very seriously: "If he was taken away by heaven and order, I have nothing to say, but there is a messenger behind all this." ā
"What can you do about him?" Yun Shaochen asked, "Now Gan Yue is so powerful that even I can't deal with it." If you want to take revenge, then go with me to find the Heavenly Palace, and I will teach you the magic on the way, and when we find the Heavenly Palace, we will have the confidence to make any plans. ā
"Nope. Ning Chen shook his head.
"What?" Yun Shaochen frowned, he was really a little impatient with this guy who didn't get oil and salt.
"Let's go our separate ways. Ning Chen said resolutely.
