Chapter 76: The Mystery of the Plum Blossoms
All people and things in the world are not as simple as they seem on the surface, and there may be secrets hidden behind them that you can't even think of. Some people, even if you spend years with them, may not be able to understand what kind of person they are. There are some things, even if you rack your brains, there are times when you can't figure out why.
The rivers and lakes are not simply a group of people competing here, and there are too many deceitful and unguardable things.
Just when the sharp sword that suddenly appeared was pulled out of Zhongbo's body and wanted to stab Wuxin again, it was too late, because Wuxin's fingers had changed into palms at this moment, and they slapped hard on Mei Ying's chest!
I saw Mei Ying's body fly backwards in an instant, and then I saw Wuxin hugging the loyal uncle behind him and swept away from the village like lightning, and when he jumped over the high courtyard wall, Mei Ying's body fell heavily to the ground. It's so fast that it can't be faster, and Wuxin has already used all his strength.
When he jumped over the wall unintentionally, he saw the sword that suddenly attacked him, a sword with purple gas, and the owner of the sword, which was the second owner of Plum Blossom Villa who had just left, Merlot. Wuxin saw those familiar eyes again, and a familiar figure appeared in his mind.
"The third child!" Mei Yu, who was originally sitting in the front hall, saw Mei Ying fall heavily to the ground and hurriedly rushed over.
I saw Mei Ying's face was pale, with a painful look, she opened her mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood, struggling to sit up, but she didn't have any strength in her body.
At this time, Merlot also walked over, looked at Mei Ying's injury, and frowned. He didn't chase after him, because he was not sure of victory, and since the other party could still seriously injure Mei Ying in the blink of an eye in the gap between dodging his own attack, it would not be so easy to defeat.
Mei Ying looked at Mei Yu's eyes, endured the severe pain, and said with difficulty: "The blood knife is heartless, really... Not so easy to deal with. After speaking, he couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of blood, the legendary undefeated golden body, but he didn't expect to be so embarrassed today. Mei Yu did not hesitate, and quickly helped Mei Ying up and healed his injuries.
Merlot, who had not spoken, slowly turned his head to look in the direction of the unintentional disappearance, and said in a deep voice: "He is far more terrifying and powerful than what you see. Plum Blossom Villa will no longer be peaceful. After saying that, he frowned, blew a loud whistle, and then saw a carrier pigeon fly and land on his hand.
I saw him tear off a bloody strip of cloth from the placket of Mei Ying's chest and tie it to the pigeon's feet. The carrier pigeon whistled, flew into the night sky in the blink of an eye, and quickly disappeared.
Unintentionally holding Zhongbo's body, he ran rapidly in the streets and alleys, hoping to avoid the pursuit of Plum Blossom Villa as much as possible, and get as far away as possible.
Looking at Zhongbo, who was already out of breath and less in his arms, he frowned unintentionally, he didn't know why Zhongbo suddenly rushed out at the last moment to block the sword for himself, Zhongbo was originally from Plum Blossom Villa, right, he couldn't figure it out. Now there are too many mysteries in his heart that can't be solved, and why that familiar figure is here.
At this moment, Wuxin saw the teahouse where he met Zhongbo for the first time during the day, and rushed over without hesitation. However, at this time, the teahouse seemed to have closed, there was no light in it, it was pitch black, and perhaps the owner had already fallen asleep.
Wuxin didn't knock on the door, but directly slammed open the door of the teahouse, rushed in, and hooked the door with his foot, he was worried that the people of Plum Blossom Villa would find something and find here.
By the moonlight shining through the window, he gently placed Zhongbo on a table, and then began to look for a candle and light it, he had to quickly check Zhongbo's injuries to see if there was any chance of life.
But when he lit the candle and saw the scene in the house, he was shocked again, because there were two people lying on the ground, two dead people, who were the owner of the teahouse and Xiao Er.
Wuxin looked at the two people who were fine during the day but had been dead for a long time, stunned in place, didn't know what happened, hurriedly turned his head to look around, but found that there was no one else in the house, it seemed that the murderer had already left.
"He must have mentioned to you about the Plum Blossom Villa, so he lost his life, Gusu City is full of Plum Blossom Villa's eyeliner, and he is destined to suffer this catastrophe. Zhongbo struggled to sit up from the table, looked at the corpse of the teahouse owner and said, shaking his head as he spoke, with a hint of unbearability in his eyes.
He has known the owner of the teahouse for many years, and he has always come to patronize the business of the teahouse over the years, coming to buy a tea every day, and seeing the owner die tragically in the teahouse at this time, he can't help but feel a little sad.
Wuxin gritted his teeth, only then did he realize that it was his aggressiveness that made the teahouse owner end up like this, and he couldn't help but blame himself a little, which he didn't expect, he didn't know that Plum Blossom Villa was so ruthless, and he didn't know that Plum Blossom Villa's eyeliner actually penetrated into every corner. So now that he took Zhongbo into the teahouse, it is estimated that he has already been known by the other party.
Thinking of this, he walked over unintentionally and checked Zhongbo's injuries, and asked in a deep voice: "Why do you want to block that sword for me?" He and Zhongbo are not related, or even just a one-sided relationship, he doesn't know why Zhongbo would rather sacrifice his life to save himself.
Then his face gradually sank, and his expression struggled, because he found that Zhongbo's injuries were too severe, and there was no possibility of living again.
"People always have to die, there is nothing to regret, not to mention that I have long been tired of this worldly world, I am a walking corpse, I can do some good things before I die, I am already satisfied. ”
Zhong Bo saw the self-blame and struggle in Wuxin's eyes, and said slowly, then looked at Wuxin's eyes, stared at Wuxin tightly and said, "You just mentioned Qin Feng and Qin Daxia, who is he?"
Wuxin was stunned for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "He is my father, do you know him?"
When Zhongbo heard the unintentional answer, he suddenly laughed, laughed out loud, laughed so much that he forgot the pain in his body, and then said slowly: "Fate, I didn't expect that twenty years later, I would meet his descendants and repay the love I owed." As he spoke, his eyes gradually moistened, and tears swirled in his eyes.
Wuxin didn't understand what Zhongbo meant, and asked, "What do you mean? Have you seen my father? He has been to Gusu City?"
Zhongbo was unintentionally shaken and touched the wound on his chest, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth and let out a muffled snort. Wuxin realized that he was a little too excited, and hurriedly let go of his hand.
Uncle Zhong shook his head, signaling that he was fine, and then sighed, as if he had fallen into a long memory, and said slowly: "That was more than twenty years ago, Qin Feng and Qin Daxia not only came to Gusu City, but also went to Plum Blossom Villa. At that time, I was still very young, I was a small guard commander of Plum Blossom Villa, and the three owners of Plum Blossom Villa were also very young at that time, probably the same age as you are now, at that time, Plum Blossom Villa had just been established, and it had not yet taken root in Gusu City. ”
Speaking of this, it seemed that there was another sharp pain in his chest, he frowned and gritted his teeth, and continued: "One day, three people came, three people who made Plum Blossom Villa as guests, and even the three owners of the village who were empty-eyed bowed their heads. Then Qin Feng Daxia appeared, as if he had been following those three people to Gusu City, and then there was a fierce battle......
"Qin Daxia single-handedly resisted the attacks of the other five people in turn, and finally chose to break through when he was outnumbered, but it was easy to enter Plum Blossom Villa, but it was difficult to get out. At that time, he just chose to break through from the direction of my town, we resisted desperately, but in the end we were unable to stop him, he could have killed me with a knife, but he didn't, I don't know why, I became the only survivor among the people who stopped him......"
"Because of this, the owner of the village felt that I deliberately let Qin Daxia leave, and in a fit of anger, he abolished my martial arts, cut off one of my legs, and let me serve in the Plum Blossom Villa for the rest of my life, and I was not allowed to leave Gusu City, until now. But I have never regretted letting Qin Daxia break out from under my nose, and I have always deeply remembered his grace of not killing......"
"It wasn't until I met you that I felt as if I was no longer a walking corpse, and it was time to do something, so I would block that sword for you, but I still didn't expect you to be the descendant of Qin Daxia. I didn't expect him to have descendants left in this world. ”
Zhongbo told the secret that had been hidden for more than 20 years in one breath, and also uncovered the unintentional mystery, and then saw a relief between his eyebrows, as if he was not afraid of the death he was about to face.
After listening to Uncle Zhong's words, Wuxin was very excited, it turned out that his father had really come to Gusu City, and he had really been to Plum Blossom Villa, he must have found something, so he would break into Plum Blossom Villa to find out, and as a result, he was killed.
He was proud of his father's bravery, and he was even more sad and indignant that Plum Blossom Villa won more and less. Holding back the anger in his heart, he looked at Zhongbo, who knew that he was going to die but still looked relaxed, and continued to ask, "Then why didn't you flee from here and live under their coercion?"
Uncle Zhong shook his head and said slowly: "Where to escape? I don't know how long I can live even if I can escape their pursuit? Maybe I would have died in a corner where no one was around, and no one would find out until I died......
"Mei Yu's ruthlessness has made me tired of the rivers and lakes, I don't want to run around to live anymore, since he is willing to spare my life, then I can spend the rest of my life like this, after all, I can still live. It wasn't until you appeared, when you said Qin Daxia's name, that you suddenly woke me up, otherwise I might have really been living like this. ”
After listening to Zhongbo's answer, he didn't speak. That's right, for a wasted person, it is too difficult to survive in the rivers and lakes, maybe like the beggar who hid in the corner and shivered before, like a rat crossing the street, he is looked down upon and hungry all day long.
Thinking of this, Wuxin suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked: "Twenty years ago, before my father appeared, there were three people from Meihua Villa, who are they?" Since my father may have followed those three people to Gusu City, it must be that some of them are targeted by him, and maybe the mastermind behind all this is among those three people.
Zhongbo frowned, lost in thought, trying to think back to the situation. After thinking for a while, he said: "I don't know what their names are, I only know that one of them is holding a golden knife, and another person has red hair, and the rest of the one I have never seen his true face from beginning to end, but when I was on patrol, I happened to see the word "forbearance" engraved on the arm of his right hand, and I haven't seen him since, he seems to be very mysterious, and he never appears in everyone's sight, and no one has seen him until he left." ”
After listening to Zhongbo's answer, his brows furrowed again. The person holding the golden knife in Zhongbo's mouth should be the golden knife man Qiu Wan, who has been killed by himself, but he has never heard of the red-haired man, and the mysterious person, he doesn't know who the other party is, only the word "forbearance" on the arm is the only clue.
But what is certain is that those three people must be Red Feather's people, and even in addition to the Golden Swordsman, one of those two people may be an important person or even the head of Red Feather, otherwise it is impossible for Red Feather to send someone to chase and kill his father all the way later, and finally kill his father.
"Is Plum Blossom Villa Red Feather's secret stronghold?" Wuxin asked seriously as he looked at Zhongbo.
"Red Feather?I don't know, I just know that Plum Blossom Mountain Villa is just a front, they have been secretly cultivating forces in recent years, and their number is increasing year by year. Uncle Zhong shook his head and said, it's normal that he doesn't know, originally he was just a guard of Plum Blossom Villa, and now he has even been reduced to a watchman, it is rare to know so many secrets.
Unintentionally hearing Zhongbo's words, his eyes lit up, and he was about to continue asking questions, but he found that Zhongbo's face became more and more ugly, his breathing became more and more rapid, and then he fell on the table suddenly, and his body, which had been barely supporting to sit up, could no longer hold on......
