Thick clouds accumulated above the Seven Senses Academy, slowly squirming towards Broken Cloud Xuan, inside the high walls of Broken Cloud Xuan, bamboo forest flowers, blue bricks and tiles, very elegant, but under the oppressive clouds, it was extremely gloomy.

Broken Cloud Pavilion is divided into the Council Hall, the Triple Corridor and the Library Pavilion.

No one has been here in the council hall for a long time, but this time, there are Praetorian guards guarding the door, and something really wrong.

The two listened outside the council hall for a while, and roughly knew the cause and effect:

This morning, when the sky was bright, a group of dead soldiers suddenly appeared in Ruoshui City, killing several court personnel, His Majesty ordered the city to be sealed, and the Praetorian Guards led by the left general in the palace Ge Yiyan searched it, and the Seven Senses Academy was also under investigation.

Therefore, except for Zuo Qing, Mr. Tang, and people with a little bit of position were summoned to wait for the investigation.

Xilou sighed: "Let's go, I can't hide." ”

Su Yan knew that he couldn't hide, so he could only keep his head down and go in with the West Building.

In the council hall, the young general stood on a high place, with a strong body, and with an aura of contempt for everyone, he looked down on the people in the hall.

That face has appeared countless times in her dreams, and there are various reunion scenes in her dreams, but she never expected that she would meet in this way today.

Her younger brother, Song Yiyan!

Seeing Su Yan and Xilou coming in, Ge Yiyan just glanced at him coldly, and continued to say to everyone: "Someone saw that the dead man of Linguo entered the academy, if you can tell the whereabouts of this person, this general will be punished lightly." ”

One of the men replied: "The Seven Senses Academy has always been heavily guarded, how can outsiders be allowed to come in, let alone the dead soldiers of the country, the general is afraid that he heard it wrong, right?" ”

"My message has never gone wrong, if this gentleman doesn't know, shut up!" Ge Yiyan warned him impatiently.

The man's face was ugly, "If the general has conclusive evidence, then go and arrest him, what are you calling us to do?" ”

"Evidence?" Ge Yiyan snorted coldly and showed everyone the remnant sword in his hand: "This sword is used by one of the dead soldiers, I know, this sword means that it comes from your academy...... A certain school. ”

"General Zuo's words are strange," Jin Yuncheng said: "The general doesn't want to say that this dead soldier is from our Lesheng Hall, right?" Although my students also learn swordsmanship, they are all just fists and embroidered legs, and if you want to kill people, heh, the general can't help but look down on us too much! ”

Ge Yiyan changed his attitude towards the man, and said politely: "What Mr. Jin said is that Le Shengtang naturally won't be," as he said, his gaze fell on the Buddha's body, "Mr. Ge, then do you have anything to defend?" ”

"The Assassin is not from my Qingping Hall." Buddha was extremely calm, without a hint of panic, but it was clear that Ge Yiyan would not believe it.

Su Yan wanted to help, but the person next to her grabbed her hand and motioned for her to silence.

"The weapons from the casting room of the Seven Senses Academy are not only for Qingping Hall, but also for Zuiyun Hall, but I listen to the general's meaning, it seems that he wants to convict Qingping Hall." Zuo Qing raised his face and smiled, but he was very oppressive: "The general was ordered by His Majesty to come to investigate, but don't be rash, if you want to investigate, you have to treat everyone equally." ”

Xilou thought that Zuo Qing would protect himself and not wade into this troubled water, after all, Ge Yiyan was still General Zuo, or Mo Fei's right-hand man, so he couldn't clash with him, and at this time Zuo Qing put himself in danger, just for an irrelevant person?

Xilou smiled bitterly, this Zuo Qing became more and more reckless.

Over there, Ge Yiyan's eyes showed a fierce light, he was condescending, and he pressed tightly: "As Mr. Jin said, the students of Leshengtang have no ability to kill, and the students of Zuiyuntang are all training in the camp outside the city that night, not to mention Shuyoutang, they don't use weapons. You are a smart man, you should be able to guess where this dead man is most likely to come from! At present, Qingpingtang is the most suspected, and I must detain them until the truth is ascertained, they should be convicted and convicted, and they should be released. Your Excellency, do you think it's in line with the rules of the hospital that I did this? ”

Zuo Qing pondered for a moment, and then bowed his head in acquiescence.

Immediately, the Praetorian Guards came in and took the Buddha away, and another group of people set off to Qingping Hall to arrest people.

"Song ......"

"Shut up!"

Xilou pressed her hand even harder: "Mingzhe can save people only if he protects himself." ”

"Will he kill the Buddha?"

"The tragedy of fratricide will not happen as long as Prince Zheng is still in the country for a day."

Su Yan hurriedly pulled up his sleeve: "Can you save her?" ”

Xilou wasn't sure if he could save her, but he nodded, turned around and hurried away.

She whispered repeatedly, it's going to be fine, it's going to be okay!

Ge Yiyan watched the people leave, and left alone in the council hall, and after a long moment of distraction, he ordered his subordinates: "Keep them in a clean cell." ”

The subordinate asked, "Since the Lord wants revenge, why not...", he made a gesture of silence.

"What I want is a true life!"

"Don't be soft-hearted, this is a rare opportunity, let's kill one!"

He narrowed his eyes, and the hatred in his eyes was overwhelming, "Uncle ordered, the only purpose at present is to kill Yan Zhen, as long as Yan Zhen is killed, the rest is just an ant to be trampled on!" Don't worry, singer, I'll kill it sooner or later! ”

Su Yan walked by the South Lake with a heavy heart, the eldest grandson Yue came all the way over, stumbled and said a call, Jin Qi couldn't look at her and pulled her away, and said to Su Yan: "I heard that a dead soldier has infiltrated our academy, and General Ge has taken down everyone in Qingping Hall, is it true?" ”

Su Yan's feet stopped, "The news spread so fast? ”

"The Praetorian Guards are here, and we don't need to spread the news, we've seen it all! Sir, is it really from Qingpingtang? ”

"Do you think Prince Zheng's daughter will be a dead soldier? Or do you think that those rich children of Qingpingtang are dead? ”

Jin Qi and Changsun Yue shook their heads at the same time and said no.

"Even you don't think so, heh, it's really coming for the Buddha!"

Ge Yiyan has not been close to Buddha since he was a child, and it seems that after he left, their relationship has become increasingly tense, and it has reached the point of fratricide, but ......

What kind of reason will make Ge Yi a killer?

Seeing that she was so worried, Jin Qi hurriedly comforted: "Sir, don't think about it, Mr. Ge is the daughter of the prince, and the prince will definitely take action!" ”

The eldest grandson Yue sighed: "General Ge is ordered by His Majesty, if it is really confirmed that there are dead soldiers in Qingping Hall, Mr. Ge will not be able to escape the relationship, I am afraid that the prince will not be able to do anything." Cannibalism, a tragedy in the world! ”

Su Yan shook his head and said, "Now that I think about it, I don't think there is anything I can do with the Buddha." ”

"Why?"

"If Qingping Hall is found dead, if the water families will definitely think that the Seven Senses Academy is no longer safe, how can they send their children to the academy with confidence? Master Mo is the head of the academy, and he will not watch the academy being criticized. ”

Jin Qi slapped his head, "That's right! How could I not have thought of it! Then we have to find a way to tell Mo that it is. ”

"No need, if I think of this, Zuo Qing will definitely be able to think of it, let's wait for good news."

In the woods not far away, Jin Yuncheng looked at them with a solemn expression, she wanted to come and ask how she could help, but when she heard this opinion, she couldn't help but look at Su Yan with admiration.

When they were gone, they lifted their skirts and left as if nothing had happened.

Far away from the west of Ruoshui downtown area, few people go, a majestic and solemn mansion stands quietly, the golden silk nanmu plaque above the red vermilion lacquer door is inscribed with the word "ink house", the handwriting is tense and vigorous. There is a small plaque on the plaque, engraved with the words "pillars of the country", the handwriting is compared with the lower one, it seems that the spring snake and autumn worm, so think about it, the person who inscribes the plaque must be a ruthless and decisive person.

Zuo Qing stepped into Murphy's study, and was greeted by a hearty laugh, only to see Murphy standing behind the heavy dark blue gauze curtain, talking with Liang Luan, the secretary of Zhongshu Province, seeing him come in, he smiled and asked him to take a seat, and Liang Luan quietly left. Then the servants put on the refreshments one after another, lit incense, and waited outside.

Zuo Qing saluted respectfully: "What can make my father-in-law so happy?" ”

Murphy touched his beard and smiled proudly: "Ge Buddha was arrested, you say, should I be happy?" ”

Zuo Qing's face was a little ugly, but the next moment he returned to normal, "Father-in-law should have released the song Buddha." ”

Murphy's laughter came to an abrupt end, "You intercede for Kamasa's daughter? ”

Zuo Qing explained slowly: "My father-in-law misunderstood, I was worried that Ge Yiyan's personal vendetta would ruin your good deeds." Ge Yiyan is young and vigorous, and he only wants to eradicate his siblings, but he has never taken care of it for you. Do you think, if Ge Yiyan really killed her, who would be the first to anger? It's not Prince Zheng, it's not the West Building, it's the truth. ”

Murphy disagreed, "I forgot to tell you that it was I who asked Yan'er to find a reason to arrest Song Buddha, so as to lead to Yanzhen, and then find a chance to make Yanzhen wrong, at that time, I can go to His Majesty to participate in the Song Politics, their family, is it not for me to handle?" ”

"But you have forgotten the more important point, if the origin of the dead is confirmed, the Seven Senses Academy will inevitably suffer a heavy blow, and your interests will ...... With the power of Prince Israeli, I am afraid that it will make things bigger, and we will have to reconsider. ”

"I've also thought about what you're worried about, but the thorn of the singer has been stuck in my heart for too long, especially this Yanzhen, who has made many miraculous achievements in recent years, so I have to be vigilant!"

"It's really a trouble, but father-in-law, no matter how troublesome the singer is, it can't be compared to the prince's trouble, the singer has Mrs. Mo, and Ge Yiyan, after all, there is a involvement, and with the involvement, the singer will not make up his mind about you. You have forgotten that Gezheng had already retired for the sake of the singer in the early years, but His Majesty couldn't bear it, so he let him stay in Beijing and take charge of the patrol army. He's just a defeated man, and only Wen remains. ”

Mo Fei was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "You think thoughtfully, the prince has made a lot of friends recently, and I don't know what he is planning in secret, it's a big trouble!" However, the singer can't be taken lightly, Yanzhen is back, you have to beware. ”

"What my father-in-law said is that Yan Zhen will go to Zuiyun Hall to serve when he comes back this time, and it is right under my nose, and I will keep an eye on him at all times."

Murphy patted him on the shoulder and said with a heartfelt smile: "Zuo Qing, you are my most proud protégé and the most trusted son, if it weren't for Ke'er's incompetence," Speaking of this, Murphy suddenly stopped abruptly, and the conversation changed, "Ke'er is always young and ignorant, and it is difficult to take on a big responsibility!" ”

"My father-in-law is worried, he is still young, and in time, he will definitely be able to become a great weapon, and I will always be by your side."

Murphy stared at his sincere eyes, and couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion in his heart.

After leaving Mofu, the steps under his feet began to change in a panic, he was afraid that if he was one step too late, Buddha Zhen was afraid that his life was already hanging by a thread, and it would make Su Yan sad for the first time.

"You have to remember that your brother doesn't have a father's pain, and he doesn't have a smart mother, you can't give him a future, you are a sister, you have to take good care of him, don't let him cry."

"Who's my sister? Why did my brother cry? ”

Why?!

The man lying in the dungeon was dying, his back covered with whip marks. As if stimulated by something, she woke up suddenly.

Opening his heavy eyelids, in a dark gray sight, the man was condescending: "Sister, don't you disdain to look at me?" Today, I'm going to have to make you watch me and see how I'm torturing you and putting you through all kinds of torture! As soon as the words fell, he raised his iron whip and whipped it, and the Buddha snorted, but he did not beg for mercy or cry out in pain.

"Aren't you very arrogant? Now that I'm trampling under my feet, how does it feel? ”

Buddha struggled to support half of her body, but she was still so cold and lonely, as if no matter how dirty things in the world were, they couldn't pollute her an inch. She stared at him indifferently, and suddenly slashed her palm, slapping the silver needle that had been hidden in her hand into his ankle. As a hidden weapon, the silver needle must have been coated with poison, and the Buddha used all his strength, Ge Yiyan collapsed to the ground, in a cold sweat of pain, he immediately used his strength to protect the heart and veins, temporarily relieving the venom from flowing into the internal organs, but even so, the toxin spread to the limbs, and the head seemed to be embedded with explosives, as if the brain would burst at any time.

He gritted his teeth at her and said, "You are the same as Yanzhen, you have learned something that cannot be seen, you are not worthy of being a member of the palace!" ”

The corners of the Buddha's mouth hooked up a smile, but there was no trace of joy in his eyes, only a low laugh.

Ge Yiyan endured the pain: "Ge Buddha, I have never been at odds with you, do you know why?" His lips were white, and large beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks, "You are the person I hate the most in my life, the person I hate the most!" He rushed to the weapon rack and took down the machete, and turned to slash at the Buddha.

Bang—

The machete in his hand was knocked down, and before he could find the direction where the hidden weapon was flying, he was already controlled by a black shadow in front of him, and he was so frightened that he immediately bent down to pick up the weapon, and as soon as his hand held the hilt, a black boot happened to step on his hand.

Ge Yiyan raised his head to identify this person, but his eyes were always blurred.

"Don't look at it, it's the master in charge who is here." Yansheng kicked the knife into the distance and said to the kneeling man.

"What are you doing here? Let's go! ”

Zuo Qing said coldly: "What are you doing?" Why don't you ask your father-in-law yourself? ”

When Ge Yiyan heard that it was his uncle who spoke, he was even more furious: "Killing her will do no harm to Uncle Baili, I'm afraid that my uncle listened to someone's gossip and was bewitched!" ”

Zuo Qing looked at him calmly, his eyes were not shocked, "If you are angry, you will not let you go, you can die if you want to, don't pull us up!" ”

Ge Yiyan clenched his hands, the green tendons on the back of his hands burst out of anger, if it weren't for his injury, how could Zuo Qing, a person who couldn't even hold a weapon, save the Buddha! But he could only watch him save the people he had dreamed of killing.

The pain that is less inflicted on her today will be repaid tenfold after tomorrow!

He stared at Zuo Qing, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't remember what was wrong. At this time, the poison around the wound had spread to his neck, and the tearing spread to his brain one after another, and he staggered out of the dungeon with his head in his arms.

Zuo Qing approached the Buddha's side, the person in front of him was dying, but he still struggled to raise his hand full of wounds, and approached the corner of the robe a little bit, Zuo Qing took a step back, and her hand fell into the air.

She looked at him blankly, tears suddenly sliding out of her eyes and falling into the puddle of blood on the ground.

"If you don't have a chance, why force it?"

Buddha looked at him stubbornly, his hands still frozen, tears gathering more and more, but the color of the puddle of blood on the ground became more and more intense.

"Maybe the pain in this world is fate, and you two have no fate."

She opened her mouth with difficulty, but she couldn't speak.

Zuo Qing sighed and picked her up. Hope flashed in Buddha's eyes, but he was shattered in his indifference.

There were once people who spent a lifetime of waiting and couldn't stay with the person they loved, but in the end they just got a heart-wrenching realization.

That being the case, it is better to be strange with you, and there will be no more torture.

Although at this time, Buddha mistook Zuo Qing for Xilou, and what he said was not what Xilou said, but the fact is the same, he has never loved him, whether it was before or now.
