At this time, half of his shoulders and arms were cut off by Chen Changsheng's knife, and he was blind in one eye, if he looked like a dog, then he must be a lost dog.

Xue Xingchuan frowned and said, "Just meditate and recuperate." ”

Zhou Tong still didn't listen to him, turned his neck with difficulty, looked at the door of the palace, saw the chair, and knew that Xue Xingchuan was guarding there before, and was silent for a long time.

Then he asked, "Did the mother come?"

The night dome is full of stars, and the ground outside the hall is sprinkled with starlight, like water, which is very quiet.

Xue Xingchuan was silent for a while, and said: "You know, the situation in Kyoto is tense tonight, and Niangniang has to pay attention to the movements on the other side of the palace." ”

"Really?" Zhou Tong squinted his eyes like an old dog, the pain in his left eye made him frown, and his voice trembled: "That...... Did the lady say anything?"

This time, Xue Xingchuan was silent for a longer time and did not speak.

Zhou Tong pulled the corners of his lips, showed an ugly and even a somewhat terrifying smile, looked at him and said: "Look, I'm really like a dog, even if I'm dying, the owner won't care about anything." ”

Xue Xingchuan looked at him and was silent for a moment before saying, "I told you when I was a child, you can live like this. ”

Obviously he was seriously injured, and he didn't know where Zhou Tong's strength came from, and he said in a resentful voice: "I'm not like this, am I like you?"

Xue Xingchuan was silent again.

"I can't snatch you from the womb. When you were born, you had eight pounds and eight taels, but what about me? It's okay, anyway, the family is poor, and no matter how you raise it, it's like this, but the eldest mother of the Xue family can't give birth to a son and wants to secretly hold one to raise, so she found our family...... If it were me, I would have chosen you, a white fat man, and would not have chosen me, a thin monkey. ”

Zhou Tong said: "Later, Aunt Xue gave birth to another one, and decided to pass on the family business to her own son, for fear that you would be resentful, so I quietly told you about it before I died, I admit it, after that, you were good to your parents, and even better to me, take me to school and study together, but have you ever thought that I want to pretend to be a scholar with you, why?"

Xue Xingchuan said: "There is no way in front of people, in my own yard, I treat you as brothers." ”

Zhou Tong said mockingly: "But it can only be when there is no one, in front of people, I can only watch you and Xue He where you are brothers, friends and brothers, how do you say I feel?"

Xue Xingchuan was silent and stopped talking.

"I was congenitally deficient in my mother's womb, that is, I couldn't even match your cultivation talent, if I hadn't entered the Yamen of the Qing Officials Division later, met that old ghost in prison and learned the secret method of the big red robe, and later searched my house everywhere to collect the exercises, how could I practice to the current realm? How can I be able to catch up with you?"

Zhou Tong stared at the top of the palace with an expressionless face, and continued: "But there is a problem with the secret method of the big red robe, I have cultivated too much later, and I have no hope of getting to that point in this life, but you are walking towards that side step by step, I don't understand, we are also twins, why are there such a big difference in our circumstances." ”

"After many years, when I saw you again in Kyoto, I didn't expect that you had already entered the Qing Officials Division...... But even if it starts to change from that time on, it's not necessarily too late. ”

"What can I do in time? If I don't die for my mother, if I don't kill for my mother, I will lose my mother's grace, and I will be killed by those people. ”

"Don't worry, Niangniang will give you an explanation. Xue Xingchuan comforted.

Deep down, however, he didn't believe it himself.

At this moment, footsteps sounded outside the palace, and it was not the Holy Queen who came, but the medical officer who delivered the medicine.

After careful examination, the medical officer cautiously came to the couch with the wooden case containing the medicine bowl.

From the moment the footsteps sounded, Zhou Tong had been staring at the medical officer, his face was very pale, and his only eye showed a strange sharp light. Xue Xingchuan knew what he was thinking, how disappointed and even desperate he was, but he couldn't do anything to comfort him, so he took the medicine bowl from the medical officer's hand, helped him up with one hand, and prepared to feed him medicine.

Zhou Tong looked at the black medicinal juice in the medicine bowl, feeling the sacred breath and medicinal fragrance contained in it, and the expression on his face suddenly became a little weird.

"What's wrong?" Xue Xingchuan asked.

Zhou Tong's voice trembled slightly, inexplicably palpitating: "I...... Not assured. ”

"Not so much. Xue Xingchuan knew what he was worried about, looked at him and said seriously: "Niangniang is not that kind of person. ”

"I've done more things for my mother than you combined, and I know better than you what kind of person my mother is, anyway, I'm not at ease. ”

Zhou Tong's voice became sharper and sharper, and he was a little out of breath because of his injury, and it sounded like a broken bellows, whirring.

At this time, he looked like a stubborn child, because he didn't like the bitterness of the medicine, so he turned his face away, closed his mouth tightly, and refused to drink this bowl of medicine even if he was killed.

Xue Xingchuan looked at him in his arms, remembering that when he was in the old mansion many years ago, he refused to drink medicine like this, and his face couldn't help but show a smile of memory.

After these things in Kyoto are done, let people send him back to the old house to retire, I believe that except for Niangniang and himself and Xue He, no one knows that he will be there.

Xue Xingchuan thought about these things, took a sip of the medicine bowl, and said, "Look, this medicine is fine, and it is not bitter. ”

Many years ago, when he coaxed Zhou Tong to drink medicine, he did just that, and he would take a sip for him first.

Zhou Tong looked at this scene, and suddenly cried, whining in his throat.

Xue Xingchuan was also a little moved.

After Zhou Tong finished crying, his spirit was even more tired, but he relaxed a lot.

He looked at Xue Xingchuan and said with a difficult smile: "I figured it out, as long as I live." ”

Xue Xingchuan was very comforted and said, "It's good to figure it out." ”

......

......

By the time the carriage returned to the Anglican College, it was already surrounded.

The army of the imperial court and the cavalry of the state religion surrounded the courtyard from the main street to Baihua Lane and then to the courtyard wall.

Chen Changsheng got out of the car to say goodbye to Chen Liuwang, and walked into the National Education College under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes.

The door of the Anglican College was pushed open, and the inside was brightly lit, and although it was late at night, none of the hundreds of teachers and students slept because no one could sleep tonight.

The sword formation formed by the female disciples of Nanxi Zhai has moved forward from the bottom of the small building to the back of the courtyard gate, feeling the sword intent of those forests, I believe that if the officers and soldiers of the imperial court want to break through, they will definitely pay an extremely heavy price, but I don't know why, I can't see the usual calm and confidence on the faces of those female disciples, but are a little anxious.

"Where have you been?" Tang Thirty-six asked, looking at him.

The teachers and students of the Anglican Academy also looked at him.

Chen Changsheng left the National Education College two hours ago, he went to the bottom of Beixinqiao, went to the Li Ziyuan Inn, and finally went to the North Terracotta Hutong, and did a lot of things.

Because of his departure, the situation in Kyoto suddenly became tense, and the National Cavalry and the Yulin Army came here one after another, and the people in the National Religious Academy naturally knew that something was wrong, but they didn't know what was going on. The battle in the North Terracotta Hutong had just ended, and Tang Thirty-six had someone in Kyoto, but the news was delivered no faster than Chen Changsheng's return.

"It's okay, let's go to sleep first. ”

Chen Changsheng motioned for Su Moyu to take the teachers and students to rest first, and then took Tang Thirty-six and his folded sleeves to the small building.

Nanxi Zhai's sword array naturally moved with him, and after a while, he came to the lakeside, and Su Moyu also rushed back.

"Is it really okay?" Tang Thirty-six looked into his eyes and asked very seriously.

They knew Chen Changsheng's current physical condition, there was no way to laugh at Wuji like usual, they originally thought that after Chen Changsheng left the National Education Academy, he would not come back, who would have thought that when the night was already so deep, he would come back again, which made them feel a lot more relieved, but it was impossible to completely put their minds at ease.

"It's really fine. Chen Changsheng said: "I just went out to do something. ”

"What's the matter?"

"I ...... Go kill Zhou Tong. ”

Hearing this, the front of the building suddenly became extremely quiet.

The night breeze gently blows the big banyan tree, but it can't move the green leaves, and it gently blows the surface of the lake, but you can't see the ripples.

Everyone was shocked, especially the girls from Nanxi Zhai.

The atmosphere in Kyoto tonight is abnormal, there are traces of wind and rain coming, and the others can guess that it has something to do with him, but they didn't expect him to do such a big thing.

There are countless people in this world who want to die, but how many people dare to put this idea into practice?

Su Moyu looked at him with a look of admiration on his face.

Those girls from Nanxi Zhai looked at him, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they thought that they were worthy of being the man that the lord of the fasting liked, and it was really amazing.

"I said that Zhou Tong was going to be killed. ”

He folded his sleeves and looked at him and said, "For the sake of your special situation now, I don't blame you." ”

Chen Changsheng looked at him and said, "You were imprisoned next week because of my relationship with the National Education Academy, so I always thought about leaving after this matter was done." ”

Where to go? The girls of Nanxi Zhai heard this, and there were some puzzles and doubts in their hearts.

Tang Thirty-six and Su Moyu knew the meaning of the word leaving, and their hearts that had just felt slightly excited suddenly became slightly cold.

"I said, just add money. Folded sleeves said.

Chen Changsheng didn't argue with him about this matter, and said, "I'm sorry, I couldn't kill him. ”

A voice sounded among the girls in Nanxizhai: "It's great to dare to kill." ”

It was Ye Xiaolian who spoke, a former admirer of Qiushanjun, a later admirer of Chen Changsheng, and now an admirer of Xu Yourong.

Tonight, she suddenly felt that it was very reasonable for her to like Chen Changsheng at the beginning.

Chen Changsheng noticed that the emotions of the women in Nanxi Zhai were a little strange, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ye Xiaolian was a little uneasy and said, "The lord has never come back. ”

Chen Changsheng thought for a while and said, "Maybe stay in the palace?"

Ye Xiaolian shook his head and said, "Lord Zhai has explained that she will definitely come back after nightfall, if she can't come back......"

Hearing this, Chen Changsheng and Tang Thirty-six and the others felt that there was something wrong, and their expressions became solemn.
