499 Flowers under the River (18)
Thirty never thought he would be able to open his eyes again.
He was stunned for a moment. The strange darkness made him wonder what kind of illusion he was in, or some muffled voices pulled him back to this real, unfinished cold winter day.
It was clearly the voice of fifteen.
"Do you want to think of a way again?" Fifteen was clearly a little hesitant. He guessed - he was talking to Chu Jiu. In front of outsiders, he will not be like this.
"He's been poisoned for so long, it's rare to be able to save his life. It turned out to be Shen Fengming's voice, "If you're lucky—given time, there is still hope for the upper arm to move, but this hand—with all due respect, is already useless." ”
Silence. There was no sound at fifteen o'clock.
Thirty tried to move. Sure enough, the entire left arm was unconscious. Is it. He felt no pain in his heart, only self-deprecation.
He expected that to be the outcome—but he didn't think he had to face it again. On the way to find Qu Rebirth, he tried his best to seal the poison in the palm of his hand - the so-called "extreme force" used all the internal force, and there was no way back. The consequence of such coercion is that when it finally erupts, it becomes extremely violent. He didn't think that Fifteen would take him to find Shen Fengming - Fifteen must have realized the difference in toxicity and blocked the blood flow in his arm, so he could compete with him for the opportunity to detoxify, but in this way, his left arm must have been necrotic from the shoulder down - Shen Fengming was right, he had been poisoned for so long, it was rare to be able to stay alive, how could he still hope to keep this arm?
In the silence, there was a sudden sound of something falling. When he heard Shen Fengming, he immediately sneered: "What did you drop?" I promised you to let him live, but he couldn't die." It's you, Jun Chao hasn't woken up yet, how can I believe he'll be fine?"
Fifteen was silent, as if she had not heard.
"I'll ask you!" Shen Fengming was obviously impatient.
He ...... It's the same. Fifteen seemed a little distracted, "It's been too long...... There was also too much blood loss. But he's so young, he should ...... There will be no fear for your life......"
"'Should'?" you just said ......."
"You don't have to be angry with me. "Fifteen doesn't sound like he wants to argue," you know...... We did our best, like — I know, you did your best. ”
Shen Fengming was silent, and after a long time, he said, "Tell me, what's going on." You say that thirty pairs of assassinations don't know anything about it - you'd better be able to justify it. ”
"Let's wait for my brother to wake up. Fifteen spoke in a low tone.
"Okay, can you think about how this matter should be completed first?" Shen Fengming sneered.
Fifteen didn't refute it, as if he didn't care about Shen Fengming's provocation. However, Shen Fengming had such an attitude, he was silent for a while, and he could only speak.
"The Dongshui Alliance wants us to kill Xia Chen, and my brother informed us about this a few days ago. It's not just Xia Chen - he's not the only one. ”
"Then you say that thirty doesn't know?"
"At that time, my brother planned carefully for us, and the people arranged them one by one, but Xia Chen-he said that he came in person, so we didn't care. Later, everyone else completed it as planned, but Xia Chen hadn't moved yet, we asked, and my brother said - I'm waiting for the opportunity. We don't talk much. Several of us are at the flower market today, and I am too. After you left at noon, Qu Chongsheng suddenly found me and said that the situation had changed, and he wanted me to chase him out immediately and do something to Xia Chen. ”
"You want to say that today it was Qu Resheng who ordered you to kill Xia Chen—and you didn't ask what you meant by thirty, so you rushed to do it alone. Shen Fengming didn't seem to believe it very much. "If you are so good at planning, and you have waited for so long for the 'opportunity', how can you be so casual about this?"
Fifteen didn't argue: "It's not that there have been such changes in the past, but it's true that Qu Chongsheng must only be able to tell my brother, and my brother will tell me in person, even if I have met him this time because of this martial arts conference, my brother has ordered us to do it, and I have never dealt with him like this." I asked why he came to look for me, and he said that because my brother had other important things to do, he couldn't get out, but Xia Chen saw that he was going to leave Jiankang, and it would be too late if he didn't do anything, so he could only ask him. I had been around the flower market at that time, but I didn't see my brother - I didn't know he was coming to you. I think his status at the conference today is important, and he can't change it for a while, so it's really hard to walk away. In that case, there was no reason for me to refuse to be reborn. First, I know that my brother has been doing things for him with us, and secondly, killing Xia Chen has long been planned, and it is not a new task that appeared out of thin air, my brother only said that he would wait for the opportunity, and never said that he would not do it, and besides, in addition to me, others are afraid that they can't do it alone, since Qu Chongsheng has found me, it should always be my brother who confesses to him, and third, I am not afraid to tell you that in the flower market, the flower stand partition arranged near your seats was originally equipped with' The mechanism of the Flower Array is prepared for variables, Xia Chen has gone against the will of the East Water Alliance, if he doesn't go, he will die. In other words, no one would feel that there was anything wrong with Qu Rebirth's order. ”
"If that's the case — there's really nothing wrong with that. Shen Fengming sneered, "What you said can't prove that your brother doesn't know about this-Qu Chongsheng may not really lie to you-maybe this is really what your brother meant." ”
Fifteen smiled wryly, "Until I succeeded, I did think that was what my brother meant." ”
"That is, you found out later, didn't you?"
"On Xia Chen's robe, I saw my brother leave a mark. "Fifteen," Brother left on his placket a special mark of our eclipse moon - meaning the equivalent of - 'this man does not touch'. In the past, when the situation changed and it was too late to inform in advance, my brother used this mark. I didn't think it was right at the time, but — I saw it too late. I've already made a move. You are also in this business, you should know that people like us pay attention to a lethal move, and the shot is very heavy. The killing move has been out, and it can't be taken back at all. If it weren't for Cheng Fang blocking a block, I wouldn't have had time to deviate from the key points. Even so, I knew the weight of that shot - that gun, which was originally meant to be taken away, was afraid that if I pulled it out, the person would die at that time, so I had to stay there. ”
"You said that thirty is ...... mark," Shen Fengming said, "Now that Jun Chao's clothes are soaked in blood, he can't see anything—you might as well think of another way to convince me." ”
Fifteen was dumbfounded, and after a long time, Fang said: "Then I have no other way." That's just the way it is. Suddenly, he said: "You don't want to think about it, if it weren't for what I said, how could Xia Chen still have his life-I didn't hesitate to shoot on the street but left him alive, in order to cause trouble in vain?"
Shen Fengming seemed to really think about it, and said: "I think you are telling the truth-but Thirty is so hesitant in this matter, it is too much like him, right? If you don't want you to move Jun Chao, he has a lot of time to say it clearly, why do you want to do this-although I don't know him very well, but from what you have seen in your behavior in the past month eclipse, this should definitely not be his person." ”
"So I want to wait for my brother to wake up. "Fifteen," I also wanted to ask him—why did he do this. ”
His voice suddenly became a little hoarse: "But I don't know if I should ask or not-my brother...... He never had the slightest flaw, and if he woke up and found that he had lost an arm, I don't know...... I don't know what he's going to do ......."
Probably because his expression was too unbearable, Shen Fengming didn't ask again for a while. Cheng Fangyu, who had never said a word, finally looked for an empty voice at this time: "Are you still planning to rush back to Lin'an?"
Hearing this at this time, Thirty Steep realized that there was more than fifteen and Shen Fengming in this cold and swishing place. It was the weakness of his body that dulled all his senses, and he was even powerless to feel powerless about it. Cheng Fangyu's question seemed to make Shen Fengming very embarrassed, and the latter did not answer immediately, but only asked, "Are you ready to leave?"
Cheng Fangyue said unhurriedly: "If you are worried about Jun Li, you should rush back first, and I will stay and take care of Jun Chao." ”
"Aren't you in a hurry to go back and see what's going on in Qinglong Valley?" Shen Fengming's tone sounded a little surprised, and a little mocking.
"No matter what the situation in the valley is, even if I rush back, what can I do? Cheng Fangyue smiled bitterly, "It's you, go back a moment earlier, or you can help Jun Li a moment earlier." He's there—he should really need you. ”
Shen Fengming did not speak. Thirty didn't know what he was thinking at the moment. He didn't know which Shen Fengming had a deeper friendship with Xia Chen, Shen Fengming and Xia Yan—he didn't know how he felt about their lives and deaths. It's just that when he remembered in a trance that when he told him the news that Xia Yan was not dead in the restaurant, he saw a glimmer of light in his eyes that couldn't be concealed—it was not exactly the same as he originally thought.
He felt that Shen Fengming should choose to rush back to Lin'an.
Outside the hall at this time, a series of hurried and fast sounds were clearly heard. Shen Fengming got up suddenly: "You go to the back of the coffin." There was a slight churn of the garment—it was fifteen flashing.
Thirty slowly realized again that he was lying in the 'coffin' in Shen Fengming's mouth at this time. Of course, this coffin was prepared for Xia Chen—but now that Xia Chen was not in the coffin, he himself - perhaps because he didn't want to be seen - was hiding in it. The coffin was wide and high, and the absence of a lid was enough to cover the figures of three or four people—Fifteen swept over, and the short body avoided behind the coffin, and he caught a glimpse of Fifteen's clothes in a flash, and his nose suddenly felt a little sore.
"Fifteen. He whispered to him.
Fifteen was taken aback, "Brother?" He couldn't help but poke his head out, his face couldn't hide his joy, "Are you awake?"
On that side, Shen Fengming probably didn't want people to come in and find out the clues, so he and Cheng Fangyu both walked outside - outside was Mrs. Lu in a hurry, as if there was something important, her voice was as hurried as her footsteps, but at this time, she only cared about thirty: "Brother, don't worry, the poison is solved, just rest for a while......"
"I'm fine. Thirty interrupted him lightly, "Where is this?"
The tone was as cold as before, and the smile on Fifteen's face was slightly lost. "Lujiazhuang. That reckless Zhuangzi. His voice turned low, "Shen Fengming, they are temporarily settled here, and they want to pretend that Xia Chen is really dead......
"You're out of luck. "Thirty pressed the discomfort of the poison and did not retreat," dared to come to him alone. ”
"Not alone. It's all coming. Fifteen vaguely felt that when he said this, his face was not so ugly, and he couldn't help but show excitement, "I just let them go first - if Shen Fengming doesn't detoxify you, we won't be ......."
"Fifteen," said thirty, "don't do that for me in the future." I taught you last time. ”
Fifteen wanted to speak and stopped, "...... Can you go now? Why don't we go back?"
"......" thirty did not speak. He tried to get up—trying not to reach his weak arm. The body was a little unexpected to him - except for the weakness that could not be removed, except for the pain that seemed to be in the spine, there was not much discomfort, and he could control it by himself.
He didn't know how long he had been lying unconscious. At this time, the heavy snow outside the window stopped for a while, the sky was dark, and it was not expected to say that there was a unitary time - the martial arts conference in the second half of the day, I don't know how it happened. The two of them were about to reach the south window, and the door suddenly opened, and Shen Fengming returned to the hall. "Want to go?" he suddenly swept to the window, with a cold chill on his face that he had not seen before, and reached out to reach out and grab Fifteen. Fifteen responded casually—thirty had woken up, and he didn't have as many scruples as Fang Cai—but Shen Fengming's hand seemed to change his mind in mid-air, and it sank suddenly, grabbing the unconscious arm of thirty.
Fifteen was slightly startled, "You ......" changed his trick to stop but was a step too late. Thirty poisonous retreats, physical strength has not recovered, this arm can't move again, since Shen Fengming grabbed it, and pulled it tightly.
"Shen Fengming, I've made everything I need to say clearly," Fifteen couldn't help but say. "What else do you want?"
"Wan Sunset has been found. Shen Fengming's face was gloomy, "It's your hand, right?"
