Chapter 68: Black and White
Black and white is a kind of boundary that is difficult to draw clearly, and no one can really distinguish themselves very clearly, whether it is black or white, because sometimes black will do what white does, and white will do what black does. In fact, the so-called black and white is just a kind of assumption that the majority of people in this world convinces the minority.
Most people say you're white, then you're white, and most people say you're black, then you're black. But some people don't care, they don't even argue, because they have their own way of doing things, they know what path they should choose, and even if this path is criticized by everyone, they will still stick to it.
With the departure of Zhan Ying led the six gates, the people of Wudang and Shaolin also left the Xianwang Mansion one after another, and Aoki said goodbye to Wuxin before leaving, and by the way, he told Wuxin where he lived in the capital, and if there was something, he could go there to find him.
It seems that Aoki is worried that after this incident, the Seven Sages King will have something in his heart and will find trouble with Wuxin, so the meaning in his words is that if something really happens, he will stand on Wuxin's side.
After everyone left one after another, Tie Xiong, who had no intention of supporting the unconscious, was also ready to leave, since everything was a foregone conclusion, there was no need to stay. However, the Seven Wise Kings stopped him.
"Heartless young man, it seems that there have been a lot of misunderstandings between us from the beginning, but that is not the original intention of this king, everything is for the safety of the capital, I hope you don't resent this king in your heart. The Seven Sages King stopped Wuxin, walked up to him and said slowly, with a shallow smile on his face and a friendly attitude, as if he was a completely different person compared to before.
Wuxin nodded, and said lightly: "The prince is too worried, he is offended a lot, I hope the prince will not be surprised." "After all, the Seven Sages King is a prince, and he has no intention of making too much trouble with him.
The Seven Sages King laughed out loud when he heard Wuxin's words, and then said: "Okay, then let's forget about the unpleasantness that happened before, and if we can solve this big case today, Wuxin Shaoxia will make great contributions, I will definitely truthfully show the imperial brother, and let the imperial brother reward you greatly." ”
Wuxin shook his head lightly, and said slowly: "Thank you for the prince's kindness, this is what should be done in the future, and the reward is not necessary." "To be honest, he did all this for Tetsuo, and he didn't think about any reward or anything.
The Seven Sage Kings smiled and said, "Okay, if you are really young and promising, just like your father back then, you will become a great weapon in the future, and the door of my Sage King's Mansion will always be open to you, and you are welcome to come at any time." His eyes were full of approval, and he nodded his head frequently in praise.
After Wuxin said some polite words again, he and Nangong Chu helped Tie Xiong to leave. He didn't know if what the Seven Sages King said was sincere, but he knew that the Seven Sages King was by no means so simple, and he seemed to know himself very well, including his own past and his deceased father.
How can a prince who is at ease in the capital know so many things on the rivers and lakes, this is not normal, and it should not be something that he, the prince, should care about.
Looking at the back of Wuxin out of the gate of the Xian Wang's Mansion, the Seven Sage Kings put away their smiles, squinted their eyes, and seemed to be thinking about something, and their faces were a little solemn.
"He's really strong, but I'm sure I can kill him. Gong Jiu leaned in at this time and said in a low voice. He really had murderous intent just now, if it weren't for Nangong Chu's sudden appearance, it was estimated that it would be another fierce battle.
The Seven Sages King shook his head, turned around and walked to the back, and said slowly: "He is by no means as simple as you seem on the surface, as long as he doesn't make trouble in the capital, don't provoke him, and without my permission in the future, you are not allowed to be good at making claims!"
Gong Jiu nodded lightly, clenched his fists, and did not speak......
Wuxin took Tie Xiong back to Tie Mansion, and asked a nearby Lang Zhong to check Tie Xiong and prescribe some medicine. Lang Zhong said that Tiexiong was only overtired and weak, and it was not a big deal, so he was relieved.
"Do you remember the woman in Yunzhou City who attacked you in the mouth of the Red Feather Hall?" Nangong Chu walked to Wuxin, who was standing alone in the middle of the courtyard, and asked softly.
Wuxin didn't speak, he nodded lightly, he didn't know why Nangong Chu suddenly mentioned that woman. It was something that happened when he was tracking down the Golden Knife Guest in Yunzhou City, when he was asking Red Feather's people about the Golden Knife Guest, but suddenly a mysterious person appeared and killed the person who was tortured by himself.
At that time, the enemy fled too fast and did not catch up, but at that time, Nangong Chu said that the mysterious person was a woman. That was also when Wuxin and Nangong Chu met for the first time.
"She is the Jade Rakshasa. Nangong Chu said slowly, his face solemn. At that time, like Wuxin, he didn't see the appearance of the mysterious person clearly, only knew that she was a woman. But he recognized the dart, and it was the swallow dart that had sneaked up on the unintentional attack.
Nangong Chu didn't expect to meet that mysterious woman again, nor did he expect to turn into a thief Jade Rakshasa who shocked the capital, and lurking in the palace, all this seems a little too unbelievable.
Hearing Nangong Chu's words, Wuxin's pupils suddenly contracted, and his face was surprised, this was amazing news. At that time, he was indeed attacked with darts in Yunzhou City, but he didn't pay attention to what kind of darts it was at that time, and he didn't expect it to be the Jade Rakshasa. He knew that Nangong Chu was not lying, and he would not say anything without a basis, since he said it, it must be true.
Wuxin has been wondering if this incident is a ghost of Red Feather, and now it has finally been confirmed. However, he didn't understand why the Jade Rakshasa lurked in the Xian King's Mansion, and even put the stolen treasures, including the heirloom jade seal, in a secret room in the laundry room.
Why is there a secret room in the laundry room? Why is Gong Jiu so eager to kill the Jade Rakshasa? He can easily stop it, there is no need to kill it directly. Why did the Jade Rakshasa choose to assassinate the Seven Sages King when he was about to reveal his true form?
There are too many questions that he can't figure out, he always feels that there is a certain connection between these things, but he can't figure out what is going on. It seems to be a logical truth, but he is not at all steady, and he is not sure whether the truth that everyone is witnessing now is true or not.
If he can't figure it out, he doesn't want to think about it, he shook his head unintentionally, he doesn't plan to think about it anymore, what should come will come after all, so let it be. He originally came to Beijing this time for Tie Xiong, but now that Tie Xiong is fine, he is relieved, and everything else is no longer important.
Early the next morning, Tie Feiyun hurried back home, knowing that his father was fine, and the heart he had been carrying was finally relieved. Then he ran to Heartless's room and knocked on the door.
After opening the door without intention, he saw that it was Tie Feiyun, he didn't speak, and let in Tie Feiyun sideways, he didn't know what Tie Feiyun was looking for him to do so early, but he seemed to be in a hurry.
"Zhan Ying wants to see you. After entering the heartless room, Tie Feiyun suddenly said this, and his expression was not relaxed.
Wuxin frowned, he didn't understand what Tie Feiyun meant, and he couldn't figure out why Zhan Ying suddenly wanted to see him, was there anything else he needed to ask?
"Is it about the case? What did Zhan Ying tell the emperor last night?" asked undoubtedly.
Tie Feiyun shook his head and said slowly: "I don't know, when I entered the palace with Zhan Ying last night to face the saint, I had already told the saint all the ins and outs of the matter, and the saint was furious, and immediately executed all the eunuchs in the Shangshufang, and the chief of internal affairs was also punished with a cane for forty to punish him for dereliction of duty, and he had half a life left if he didn't die." ”
When Tie Feiyun said this, he paused, and continued: "But later, the Seven Sage Kings also entered the palace and took the initiative to take responsibility for the Jade Rakshasa lurking in the Sage King's Mansion, but the Holy Lord did not punish him, but just said that it would not be an example, and then the Seven Sage Kings put all the credit for cracking this case on the six gates. Seeing that the jade seal had been recovered, but this matter seriously affected the royal face, the saint ordered the matter to end here, not to mention it again, and only said that the suspect had been arrested and executed, and not to say anything about the jade seal's loss and recovery. Later, Zhan Ying and I left, leaving only the Seven Sages King and the Emperor to discuss matters personally. When we were separated, Zhan Ying suddenly told me that he wanted to see you, let me tell you. Tie Feiyun said a lot in one breath, and suddenly felt that his mouth was dry, and he poured a cup of overnight herbal tea and drank it all.
He had no intention of thinking carefully about what Tie Feiyun had just said, and he still couldn't figure out why Zhan Ying suddenly wanted to see him. Now that the facts of the case have been settled and the dust has settled, there is no need to see him, and it seems that he is still in a hurry.
"Time, place. Wuxin looked at Tie Feiyuan, who hadn't closed his eyes all night, and asked slowly.
"Now, the west of the city is fighting the British Mansion. Tie Feiyun said without thinking.
Wuxin was stunned for a moment, now he knew why Tie Feiyun was in such a hurry, but he didn't understand why Zhan Ying was in such a hurry to see him.
So, under the leadership of Tie Feiyun, Wuxin came to a mansion in the west of the city. When I saw this mansion, I was stunned for a moment, I didn't expect that the six-door presidential mansion that seemed to be beautiful was so ordinary, but it was a little bigger than Tiexiong's residence, and there were a few more people, but there was no difference other than that. It's just that the word "war" on the beam at the door is extremely eye-catching, adding a bit of majesty.
Walking through the empty courtyard and entering the main hall, Zhan Ying was already sitting on a chair in the hall at this time, and it seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.
Tie Feiyun led Wuxin in and then retreated, and gently closed the two doors of the main hall. But he didn't go far, but stood outside the door, he didn't know why Zhan Ying wanted to see Wuxin, and he was a little relieved.
Wuxin glanced around the hall with his afterglow, slowly nodded to Zhan Ying, and said lightly: "I don't know why the battle commander is so anxious to see me?" He couldn't figure out what Zhan Ying meant, so he secretly added a little caution.
Zhan Ying stretched out his hand and pointed to the seat next to him, signaling that he had no intention of sitting down and talking, the expression on his face was very gentle, and he did not have the majesty of last night. After Wuxin sat down, he said slowly: "You are really similar to your father, especially when he was young. ”
Wuxin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, how could Zhan Ying be the same as the Seven Sages King, and they all talked about their father with him, and they all said that they were very similar. To be honest, Wuxin can't remember what his father looks like, because he was too young at that time, and his father was already away before he had time to mess around with his father. He didn't know if the Seven Sages King and Zhan Ying were referring to when they said that he was similar to his father or something else.
"What kind of man is my father?" asked Wuxin softly, his voice a little unsteady. But when he asked this sentence, he regretted it, he should have asked Tie Xiong these words, but he didn't expect to ask Zhan Ying.
In his imagination, his father was a tall, majestic man, a man of all his word, not afraid of power, and a good man.
Zhan Ying seemed to be a little surprised by Wuxin's sudden question, smiled and said: "He is the best subordinate I have ever led, he is born to catch fast material, he is the same as me, there is no room for sand in his eyes, and he hopes to use our ability to catch all the evil people in the world and return the world to a bright future." I've been proud of him for so many years. As he spoke, he sighed, as if he remembered a lot of past events.
Unintentionally listened to Zhan Ying's description, he actually laughed, laughing so hard that his lips trembled. He was very happy in his heart, because Zhan Ying's father was the same as he thought, and he didn't guess wrong. Although he didn't have much of an impression of his father, they had the same blood in their bodies, and he could feel the power that his father brought to him hidden in the blood in his body.
"But man will eventually take the right path, can not go astray, he must hope that his children can live an upright and frank life, never want one day his children become the object of his want, he does not want a murderous son, black and white, then he will die without a blind eye. Zhan Ying said excitedly, as if he was admonishing and warning.
Then he looked at Wuxin's face that gradually put away his smile, and continued: "You, like your father, are all quick catchers, stay and be my deputy." His eyes were full of eager anticipation, and he stared at Wuxin tightly.
Wuxin put away his smile and looked at Zhan Ying quietly, without speaking......
