Ling Yun held the dragon and phoenix jade talisman in his hand, and he and Yang Zhen and others took Du Zhenghai out of the capital for dozens of miles, and stopped next to a mulberry forest.

Looking at the bleak scenery in late autumn, Ling Yun suddenly remembered that four years ago, it was also late autumn, and it was also in this place that he was ordered to escort Du Zhenghai through here; The scene is still vivid, as it was yesterday......

Thinking about the past now, as if it was a dream, Ling Yun couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart. He turned his face back, looked at Du Zhenghai and said, "That's it." Brother Du, you can do it yourself, it's time for us to go back and resume our lives. ”

Du Zhenghai's eyes were as cold as frost, and he stared at Ling Yun and said, "Ling Yun, tell me, why did Fang Cai help He Yuting?" ”

Ling Yun's heart twitched painfully, and he froze for a moment.

Du Zhenghai said hatefully: "You obviously know that the dog thief is despicable and filthy, and his family is ruined; You know that I have a deep enmity with him, and I don't share the sky—I want to kill him in my dreams, but why do you want to help him? If it weren't for you, I would have killed him a long time ago, Ling Yun, it's all your business that ruined me! Say, why are you doing this? ”

Yang Zhen couldn't help but be furious when he saw Du Zhenghai's fierce look towards Ling Yun: "Du Zhenghai, you are bold, you dare to speak to Ling Commander like this!" You ......"

Ling Yun raised his hand to stop Yang Zhen, he looked at Du Zhenghai with a cold gaze, and said in a low voice: "I don't want to explain too much about this matter now, you will understand it later." Brother Du, listen to me, leave here immediately, and never come back! ”

Du Zhenghai's red eyes were bloodshot, and he said angrily: "Don't call me Brother Du, you are not worthy!" Hmph, think about the past, I was so naïve to actually treat you as a friend; In fact, I should have understood a long time ago that the world is as black as a crow, and you are no different from those snobs who make a living in the officialdom! ”

Yang Zhen was so angry that his eyebrows raised, and he was about to attack, but he was stopped by Ling Yun raising his hand.

He smiled bitterly and said Mu Ran: "Whatever you say." However, let me remind you, Du Zhenghai, your life was saved by so many people, you must cherish it - for yourself and for your mother. ”

After saying that, Ling Yun turned his face expressionlessly and said to Yang Zhen and the others, "Let's go back." He turned the horse's head and walked away, leaving only a lonely back......

Ling Yun, Yang Zhen and others returned to the lobby of the Criminal Department and reported to Lu Wenzheng.

Knowing that Du Zhenghai had left the capital safely, Ge let out a long sigh.

He Yuting said: "Ge Shi, your son has left safely, you can tell me now-where is my Lin'er now, right?" ”

Ge Shi sighed lightly and said, "Okay, Master Pony, let the slut tell you the whole story." ”

"Twenty-four years ago, on the 19th of April, I remember very well that I took my little boy to the Yulin area outside the capital and stopped by a bush.

"At that time, the little boy asked me curiously, 'Nurse, what are we doing here, does the nurse want to play with Lin'er to hide the cat?' I said, 'Yes, Lin'er. But today's Tibetan cats are different from before, let's play a game first, okay, you are a good person, I am a bad person, you hide, I will catch you, if the bad guy catches the good guy, the bad guy will kill the good guy, okay? ’

"The little boy innocently asked, 'Why do you want to kill the bad guy when he catches the good guy?' I said, 'Because he's a bad guy!' Lin'er, you said this game must be fun, didn't you? The little boy clapped his hands happily.

So I played the game with him in the woods. Later, when I actually caught him, I said to him, 'Lin'er, the bad guy catches the good guy and will kill him, right?' Now I'm going to do it! ’

"The little boy asked, 'Then the good man must beg the bad guy for mercy, right?' I said viciously, 'I can't beg for mercy!' He took out a sweat towel that had been prepared in advance and slammed it around the young man's neck......"

He Yuting's face turned pale and said, "You ...... Did you really kill him? ”

Ge Shi said: "Yes, I strangled the little boy's neck with a sweat towel, and I used a little force on my hands; Seeing the little boy struggling desperately in my hands, crying hoarsely, begging for mercy, and telling me, 'Nurse, don't, don't play with Lin'er to hide cats, Lin'er must be obedient, must be obedient, must ......be obedient' I only feel very happy.

Later, seeing that the little boy's breath was getting weaker and weaker, I didn't let go of my hand until there was no sound at the end. Looking at the little boy lying on the ground, my tears flowed unconsciously......" In the end, Ge Shi was hoarse and burst into tears.

Listening to Ge's memories of the unbearable and painful past twenty years ago, Ling Yun only felt cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

He has always been a hero and hero admired in people's hearts, and he once boasted of his super ability and strong heart; But now in the face of the cruel reality, he knows that he is so fragile and vulnerable.

In fact, in this world, there is no one who is always strong, only a person who is strong for a while—just like him twenty-four years ago.

Because he was too young at the time, even in front of a weak woman who was powerless, he had no power to fight back.

That traumatic experience was almost fatal to him; And his fate has changed dramatically because of this.

Imagine, a fragile and helpless child experienced such a heavy shock and blow at such a young age, and almost died because of it, how can his young and immature heart bear it? So, for various reasons, he completely lost his memory about what happened before he was three years old.

But now listening to this unbearable past, and then re-revealing it little by little from Ge's mouth, he only felt that his heart was as uncomfortable as a river and a sea, as if the scar that he had never dared to touch was suddenly torn apart, and his heart ached to the bone.

In a trance, he remembered that four years ago, he went to the Hou Ye's Mansion for the first time because he was looking for Lord Lu for some reason; Along the way, looking at the courtyards and pavilions along the way, it seems familiar, and even familiar.

He was puzzled by this at the time, but now he finally understands.

At that moment, his originally ignorant and chaotic mind suddenly opened up as if a skylight had been opened.

Those memories before the age of three came back to his mind like a tide, and every bit of it was vivid and clear.

At this time, he finally recovered all the memories he had lost.

He sighed softly, reluctantly retracted his chaotic thoughts, and turned his face blankly to look at the scene of the decisive confrontation between He Yuting and Ge Shi, he only felt that his heart hurt even more......

How could He Yuting understand Ling Yun's painful mood, his current mind was all on Ge's body.

He raised his eyebrows angrily, pointed at Ge Shi and gritted his teeth: "You slut, you killed my son, you killed my son...... But just now you said that you would tell me where my son was, so you were still lying to me! ”

Ge Shi said: "Master Horse, I didn't lie to you, I just said that I would tell you the whereabouts of the little boy, and I didn't say that the little boy is still alive in this world!" Now that you know where the little boy is, his soul is in the elm forest outside the city, and the body may not be found......

He Yuting's face was pale, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak for a while.

After a long time, he came back to his senses and said to Lu Wenzheng: "Master Lu, you have heard all the words of this slut; She was mad and killed my son, you must do justice for me, kill this slut, and avenge my son! ”

Lu Wenzheng frowned, groaned with his beard, and did not speak.

At this time, Ling Yun suddenly exclaimed: "Be careful! ……”

Before everyone came back to their senses, they saw a flash of cold light in front of them, and Ge Shi suddenly waved the short blade in his hand and stabbed at He Yuting's chest like crazy!

He Yuting was stunned for a while, and it was too late to dodge.

In a hurry, Ling Yun, who was standing beside him, didn't have time to draw his sword, so he had to raise his right arm, and with a sharp "one-palm stele", he pushed He Yuting hard.

Ge's short blade slid close to He Yuting's clothes, but it was piercing Ling Yun's body!

Thanks to Ling Yun's agility. He staggered his body deftly, and the sharp blade did not hit the vital part, but only made a cut on the right rib, and there was a heart-piercing pain, and the blood immediately flowed like a pillar.

Seeing that the assassination of He Yuting could not be accomplished, Ge Shi couldn't help but be disheartened, she laughed miserably, reversed the blade and stabbed it towards her chest!

Ling Yun changed color in shock, and shouted in a lost voice: "Mrs. Du! ...... endured the intense pain and cast a "north wind blowing snow", barely reaching out his right arm to block her blade.

But his movements were still a step late, and although Ge's blade was slightly off, it still penetrated deep into her own left chest!

Blood gushed out like a fountain, like a bewitching and colorful hibiscus flower, blooming to the fullest, and the red glare was shocking.

Ge screamed in pain, and his body staggered like a messy dead leaf in the autumn wind, and finally collapsed to the ground.

Ling Yun rushed forward with an arrow step, leaned down and trembled to lift her body, and shouted continuously: "Mrs. Du! Mrs. Du! ……”

Ge's face was gray at this time, and the sadness and helplessness revealed in his dying eyes only made Ling Yun's heart cold and sad for a while; From that desperate look, he truly realized what it means to be loveless.

Ge's lips twitched slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but finally he didn't say anything, so he tilted his head and didn't move.

Ling Yun trembled and probed her snort, as if there was a faint breath faintly stirring in her tattered body.

His tense heartstrings unconsciously relaxed a little, and he hurriedly turned around and ordered the guards next to him: "Go and ask for a doctor!" ……”
