Chapter 45: Chincha is dead
"Brother Jianghu, aren't you willing to eat that orange?" Wang Jiajia asked.
I touched a handful of oranges in my arms and smiled slightly: "Don't worry about these two, I'll stay home and eat with my mother." ”
"Brother Jianghu, you are so filial."
"Huh."
I don't know what else to say to her, this girl, although she always loves to stick to me, which makes people feel a little annoying, but she is still very good at talking. I always seem to find something to compliment me, which makes me feel very present.
Yes, presence. A humble poor boy selling tofu, someone can care about it, at least it proves my worth.
It's just that she is a woman after all, and it's easy to misunderstand me by following me like this all day. I went to Lao Meng's house just now, and it made me quite embarrassed. Lao Meng saw her tidying up the house, washing and cooking, and praised me for being blessed to marry such a virtuous lady.
Hey, Wang Jiajia, are you trying to misunderstand everyone?
"Then let's go to the inn and get the burden and go back? Or do you want to inquire about the whereabouts of Sister Warm Heart again? Since Mu Niangzi is back, her brother and Qin Cha should also be back, I'm afraid ......"
When Wang Jiajia said this, my heart was not at peace. Yes, Qin Cha is back, has Nuan Xin already gone to take revenge on him?
"Let's go back to the Jianghu Inn. Li Huichun should have told Qin Cha to strengthen his precautions. Let's go to Xiao Mu and see what he means. ”
"Xiao Mu!"
"Hmm." I nodded, "He might have it both ways." ”
Wang Jiajia grabbed my arm and pointed forward: "I mean, isn't that Xiao Mu?" ”
I looked, only to see twenty paces away, Xiao Mu was walking towards us, although it was already autumn, but he was still shaking his fan, and even the clothes on his body had not changed.
"Brother Mu." I took a few steps: "Chinchake has returned?" ”
"Chincha is dead." Xiao Mu said calmly.
"What?" I was taken aback, then smiled again: "You...... Are you kidding? ”
Wang Jiajia looked at him nervously: "What about Sister Warm Heart?" ”
"With Long Yuhan." A strange smile appeared at the corner of Xiao Mu's mouth: "If Long Yuhan asks you for help, you can help, but don't say that you have seen me." ”
I'm afraid this person really has something wrong with his brain, right? Actually cursed Chincha! Qin Cha knew that Nuanxin wanted to kill him, how could he let her succeed?
Xiao Mu didn't say anything more, shook his fan and turned to leave.
"Brother Jianghu, shouldn't this little Mu have some problems here?" Wang Jiajia pointed to his fingers: "Then what should we do now?" ”
"Take a look around the Assassin's Mansion."
The two of us quickly ran towards the Assassin's Mansion, and our hearts were full of thoughts, Xiao Mu's words were indeed a little inconsequential, but why should we joke about human lives. Is Chin Cha dead? This is a little unacceptable in any way......
"Li Jianghu!"
A carriage stopped beside us, and the driver shouted at me.
I was stunned: "Dragon catcher? ”
"Get in the car!" Long Yuhan said with a nervous expression, sweating profusely, and even his eyes were red.
I think something must have happened, otherwise the leader of the Tianyan team, who has always been calm, would not look like this. Wang Jiajia and I glanced at each other, didn't think too much, and quickly got into the car. I opened the curtain and saw that Nuan Xin was falling in the carriage.
"Sister Warm Heart, Sister Warm Heart." Wang Jiajia hugged her into her arms and shouted.
"What's wrong?"
Long Yuhan drove the car into a remote alley and finally stopped.
"Chin Cha is dead." He said, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Huh?"
"Warm heart poisoned the wine." Long Yuhan glanced at the woman in the carriage: "You are warm-hearted friends, then I will hand her over to you, take her away, leave Xiangzhou City, and tell her that she will never come back, and I will bear everything alone." ”
"No, it's ...... What the hell is going on? ”
Long Yuhan's voice was also a little choked: "Warm-hearted pretended to sell herself to bury her father, and was funded by the Qin Mission, and the Qin Mission made her go to the Assassin's Mansion to find him at any time if she was in difficulty." Yesterday Qin Cha just came back, she came, pseudonym Su Xin, became Qin Cha's personal maid, today at noon, she cooked for Qin Cha, poisoned Qin Cha's wine, Qin Cha ate two cups and fell to the ground, spit blood, no breath. ”
"This ...... How is this possible? Didn't Chin Cha know that she had come for revenge? How could he be poisoned by her so easily? "I don't think I understand it.
"Yes. Chin Cha knows. While she was cooking, Chincha told me to hide in the door and see how she poisoned her, to see if she could kill him. I thought that Qin Cha had some good plan, so I honestly waited at the door, but who knew that Qin Cha had really eaten the wine she had poisoned.
It turned out that the way that Qin Cha thought of to make Nuan Xin give up his hatred was actually to let Nuan Xin really take revenge.
Warm Heart saw that Qin Cha was dead, but she was also grief-stricken, and she asked me to tie her up and put her in prison, because she also regretted killing a good official who really loved the people like a son.
That's why I knocked her unconscious. Because it's not her fault, it's all my fault, it's me who didn't protect Chin Cha, it's me who didn't act in the face of the murderer's assassination.
Take her away. I'm going back to Thunderthorn Shi to ask for my guilt. ”
"This ...... Do you want me to go to the autopsy? I always thought how could all this be so weird? "I'm a little confused.
"Nuanxin and I have already checked, and Chin Cha is really dead. Let's go, and when someone finds Qincha's body, the entire Xiangzhou City will be in chaos. If the Tubo people get the news, they don't know ......," Long Yuhan said, handing me the reins, looking in the direction of the Assassin's Mansion with empty eyes, and the saber in his right hand was also tightened.
"Then take care." I thought of what Xiao Mu said just now, so I didn't say more, took the reins, sat at the front of the car, and drove the carriage away.
"Brother Jianghu, how can this be? Governors...... Is it really dead? Wang Jiajia was still in a trance.
I was also confused: "I don't know about this, let's get out of the city first." ”
From here to the West Gate, I drove in less than two quarters of an hour. Looking at the row of soldiers standing guard, I suddenly became nervous, if they knew that the people in my car were the murderers of the poisoning of Qincha, what would they do?
"Wait!"
I'm really afraid of something. I've tried to calm myself, but somehow someone is still in the way.
I saw that the man was also about twenty or thirty years old, and although his appearance was ordinary, there was an invisible strength between his eyebrows and eyes, as if he could see people through. Judging by his costume, it is not the dress of an ordinary soldier defending the city, he should be an officer guarding the city. No, don't look, he said "slow", and six ordinary guards with spears surrounded the carriage.
"Xiangzhou City West City, Chengmen Lang Quankang, from the six products." He held a long machete in front of him, and every word seemed to be squeezed out between his teeth.
Without thinking too much, I hurriedly got out of the car, held the reins and shook my hand deeply, swallowed my saliva secretly, took a deep breath, and replied: "In Xia Li Jianghu, I have seen all the adults. I don't know what is important for adults? ”
"Li Jianghu?" Out of surprise, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Your home is in the fifth lane in the south of the city?" Have a small tofu workshop at home? Usually send tofu to Jianghu Inn? ”
I was taken aback: "Yes." ”
"So you're done with today's tofu?"
I tightened my grip on the reins in my hand for a few moments: "It's sent, it's been sent before the hour." How do you recognize the whole adult? ”
Quankang smiled slightly, and took a step back to the side: "Release!" ”
Thinking of Wang Jiajia in the car and warm heart, although there are many puzzles, but I don't dare to delay, seeing the surrounding soldiers withdraw, I thanked him, sat on the front of the car, tugged on the reins a few times, and finally went out of the city smoothly.
"Brother Jianghu, I was really scared to death just now!" Wang Jiajia picked up the curtain and shouted. I glanced back at her and saw beads of sweat on the tip of her nose, which must have been frightened just now.
"Is it warm-hearted?"
"Well, I'm still unconscious." Wang Jiajia responded: "Where are we going?" ”
"I don't know, look at the meaning of warm hearts."
As I spoke, I drove forward for about a mile, and I heard Wang Jiajia calling excitedly: "Sister Warm Heart, you finally woke up!" ”
"What kind of place is this? Stop the car! The warm voice was still a little weak, but there was room for non-negotiation in the tone.
I reined in my horse with a "shout": "Are you awake?" We're out of the city, and now we're on the outskirts, and further on is Baokang County. ”
Warm heart jumped out of the car, her eyes were red, and she looked around: "Where is Brother Long?" ”
"The dragon catcher went back to the assassination mansion, saying that he was going to deal with the aftermath of the Qin Cha."
"Chincha...... Hehe, he's dead. Jiajia, you know what? It's been three years, and I've finally killed him and avenged my sister! Warm Heart grabbed Wang Jiajia's hand, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, but the tears in her eyes were like a flood that burst the embankment.
"Sister Warm Heart, it's okay. Let's go. ”
"No, I can't go." Wen Xin shook his head resolutely: "I killed someone, I killed a good official who really worked for the happiness of the people." Do you know? After lurking for so long, all I heard was the people's admiration for the chincha. And now, it's me, it's me who killed Qincha and the hope of the people of Xiangzhou! I'm going to pay for what I've done! ”
I looked at the sad and joyful woman in front of me, and I didn't know how to comfort it for a while, but I just felt that all this was so unreasonable?
Qincha is the backbone of our Xiangzhou, the people love him, the enemy country fears him, and the saint has high hopes for him...... Did he really give up his life so easily, just for a palace maid he accidentally killed three years ago because of a miscalculation?
It's not going to be a fake death, is it?
I was suddenly taken aback by my own thoughts. I remember that Wang Fatzi told me before that it is rumored that there is a kind of pill in this world, and eating it will make people fall into a deep sleep, and the heartbeat and breathing will be so weak that people can't detect it, maybe ......
"Hey, Sister Warm Heart, Sister Warm Heart!"
Heartwarming? I heard Wang Jiajia shouting loudly, and when I came back to my senses, I saw a white shadow stepping on the canopy.
"Warm Heart, where is she going?" I looked in the direction of the West City Gate, and my heart became apprehensive again.
Wang Jiajia wiped away her tears: "Sister Warm Heart just said that she is responsible for what she has done and cannot affect others." ”
She ...... She's going back and turning herself in? ”
"Hmm." Wang Jiajia handed me a snow-white silk handkerchief: "Sister Warm Heart said, please return this to Long Zhutou." ”
I spread out the veil, this familiar veil is as white as frost and snow, light as cicada wings.
Ice Silk Kerchief!
That's right, isn't this exactly Mu Niangzi's handkerchief? At this time, the autumn is crisp, and it doesn't feel cold to the touch, which is also strange.
It's just that, how can this veil be in the warm hand? Give the dragon back the head? Could it be that Long Yuhan gave it to warm his heart? Where did Long Yuhan get it from?
