Chapter 56: Self-destruction as revenge
Tiansha lit a fire in the room, listening to the broken army singing and drinking. He took a jar and drank it non-stop, three jars in a row. He wiped his mouth, and then took a coal-fired piece from the fire with his hand. The burning red charcoal burned his hand, and he didn't snort at all, as if he didn't notice it at all, but just stared at the charcoal, and his eyes must have opened his mouth to swallow the fiery charcoal.
Po Jun glanced at him, a trace of unbearability flashed in his eyes, closed his eyes, took a sip of wine, and continued to sing.
Tiansha clutched his throat so painfully that his face was distorted, and his face was bruised and red, as if someone had choked his neck and wanted to suffocate. After a moment, his face calmed down, but he felt numb in his throat, no sensation, and no pain.
After a while, followed by a hot pain, I just felt that my breathing hurt madly.
He forcibly held back, and with his other hand grabbed a handful of red coals from the fire.
Po Jun grabbed his hand and asked, "Do you need this?"
The Heavenly Evil Machine said in an extremely hoarse voice in pain: "I have shown my face, otherwise, they will recognize me." ”
Po Jun looked into his eyes, knew his resoluteness, sighed, and let go of his hand. He took a sip of his wine and sang again. But this time his singing voice was accompanied by an extremely piercing and painful wail, which made the song seem miserable and desolate.
In order not to leave a trace, Tiansha also rolled his hair in the ashes that still had residual warmth after the flames were extinguished, making the hair appear gray, shriveled, and charred.
Zhang Tingyu and his entourage walked for a few days and came to the outside of Ning'an City, worried about being recognized because of the wanted warrant. A few people dressed up in disguise before entering the city.
Due to its proximity to the capital, this Ning'an is quite lively, and several people have also seen their wanted avatars, all of which are very low-key.
The six of them were walking on the road when suddenly there was a commotion in front of them. Several people looked over and saw a gorgeously dressed boy beating an old beggar, but the onlookers did not dare to stop him, and no one even said anything.
I only heard the boy scold while kicking: "Stinky beggar, dare to dirty my son's clothes, kill you, I will kill you." ”
The old beggar held his head in his hands, curled up on the ground, and let the boy scold.
Ji Hongxiu couldn't look at it, so she waved her hand and whipped it, and directly knocked the boy away. She still didn't understand her hatred, and wanted to rush up and fight again, but was pulled by Zhang Tingyu.
Zhang Tingyu looked at her and said, "It's okay, you will be killed by two more whips." ”
Ji Hongxiu stopped angrily and said, "This kind of person should be beaten." ”
Deng Junming looked at her and said, "Senior sister, how did I find out that you have become more violent recently?"
Ji Hongxiu turned her head to look at him, and asked with some concern, "Is there one?"
Deng Junming nodded and said, "Yes, don't you believe it, ask Senior Brother Zhuo?"
Ji Hongxiu looked at Zhuo Yi, Zhuo Yi nodded and said, "There are some, it may have been affected by the last human traffickers." ”
Ji Hongxiu was a little anxious and said, "What should I do? Will I become that kind of murderous demon?"
Deng Junming and Zhuo Yi both nodded and said in unison: "It's very likely." ”
"Ah, what can I do about this?" Ji Hongxiu's face changed in a hurry, she looked at Zhang Tingyu and shouted, "Senior brother, what should I do?"
Zhang Tingyu sighed and said, "They teased you." ”
Both of them looked at Zhang Tingyu expectantly, but when they heard the words, they knew that something was wrong, so they hurriedly dodged.
Ji Hongxiu reacted, glared at the two of them and said, "You all have itchy skin, right?"
Zhang Tingyu said again: "Yes, you have indeed become more irritable recently, you need to pay attention." If you have time to meditate more, clear your heart, and stabilize your emotions, otherwise you may still become a female demon. ”
Ji Hongxiu sighed, became anxious again, didn't care about making trouble with the two of them, and said in her heart: "I must meditate more, calm down, I don't want to be a female devil." ”
Deng Junming and Zhuo Yi secretly cast grateful glances at Zhang Tingyu.
Zhang Tingyu walked up to the old beggar and asked, "Old man, are you okay?"
The old man bowed his head and shook his head to indicate that he was fine.
Ji Hongxiu saw that the old beggar was pitiful, and gave him two taels of silver. Curious, she looked down at the old beggar's face, and then let out an "ah" sound, startled.
The old beggar bowed and thanked him, turned and left.
Deng Junming looked at Ji Hongxiu and asked, "Senior sister, what's wrong with you?"
Ji Hongxiu swallowed her saliva and said, "The old man's face just now is so terrifying. ”
Zhuo Yi also glanced at the scar on the old man's face before, and said, "That should be a burn." ”
The previous boy was whipped away by Ji Hongxiu, and he fell into a mess, and only got up with the support of a servant in the middle of the sound, and then scolded: "Which thing without long eyes dares to beat this son?"
Among the surrounding onlookers, someone whispered to Zhang Tingyu and the others and said: "Let's go, he is a tyrant in Ning'an County, his father is the county commander, no one dares to mess with him." ”
Ji Hongxiu was stubborn, and stood up directly and said, "I beat me, what do you want?" because she was dressed in disguise, and now she is a woman dressed as a man.
The boy looked at Ji Hongxiu angrily and said, "Okay, little bastard, you have a seed." After speaking, he said to the servants beside him: "Don't call me yet, don't you see that Ben Gongzi has been beaten? Are you all blind? A bunch of waste." ”
When Ji Hongxiu saw that the boy scolded her little bastard, she was instantly angry and was about to do it.
Zhuo Yi and Deng Junming also looked angry, and their eyes were very fierce.
Zhang Tingyu was also angry, his body moved, and he appeared directly in front of the son, grabbed the clothes on his chest with one hand, pushed it up with one palm, and slapped it directly on the son's chin. He knocked his head back, his jaw dislocated, and he lost two teeth.
The boy turned around and wanted to scold again, but just said the word "you". Zhang Tingyu slapped him in the face again, swelling half of his cheeks.
The boy didn't dare to scold again this time, and begged for mercy in a very unclear voice: "Hero, spare my life, I don't dare anymore." ”
Zhang Tingyu let go and spared him.
Ji Hongxiu was stunned for a moment in the back, and then she was happy. She felt that the senior brother was angry for herself, and she was overjoyed.
Not long after, a pair of county soldiers arrived, and one of the leading catchers walked in front of the son, looking at the appearance of the son, he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and asked stubbornly: "Childe, what's wrong with you?"
When the boy arrived in his own hands, he pointed to Zhang Tingyu and the others and said, "Arrest them for me and put them in prison." ”
The catcher nodded, looked at Zhang Tingyu and said, "Come on, take them all down." ”
Zhuo Yi looked at the head catcher and asked, "What crime did we commit?"
The corner of the catcher's mouth slanted and smiled: "You are a felony of the imperial court, intending to murder the county commander." ”
Zhuo Yi sneered and said, "You guys use public weapons for private use, when did the county soldiers become the personal guards of the county commander?"
The catcher shouted, "Don't take them down yet." Then he looked at the surrounding people and shouted: "What do you see, I haven't seen the arrest of the imperial court, do you also want to live in the county government?"
When the people heard this, they immediately bowed their heads and ran quickly.
Soon only the county soldiers and Zhang Tingyu and his party were left on the street.
Zhuo Yi looked at the empty street and said, "It seems that you usually cause a lot of trouble to the people. ”
Several people called out a look, and Zhuo Yi said, "The big bull beat them hard." ”
When Da Niu heard this, he rushed towards the county soldiers with a double hammer.
The rest of the people also followed, this time everyone did not kill anyone, only Da Niu did not know how to control the force, and smashed a few to death, and the rest were lying on the ground wailing, and the cultivation of each few months could be good.
Zhuo Yi stood in front of the boy, looked at him and said, "Do you still have anyone?"
The boy was frightened and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. Zhuo Yi kicked it away directly, only to hear the sound of clicking, and several sternums were broken.
After beating a few people, they immediately left the city and left. A few people walked towards the capital, and when they walked not far away, they found the old beggar.
The old beggar walked in the mountains and forests, often looking for something on the ground.
When several people approached, they found a handful of weeds in his hands.
Ji Hongxiu asked, "Old man, what are you taking?"
The old beggar said in a very hoarse voice, "Wild vegetables." ”
Ji Hongxiu asked, "You rely on these to satisfy your hunger?"
The old beggar nodded.
Ji Hongxiu saw that he was pitiful, and gave him two steamed buns that he had bought in the city before. The old beggar expressed his gratitude.
Ji Hongxiu asked, "Old man, where are you going?"
The old beggar replied, "The capital." ”
Ji Hongxiu let out an "oh" and stepped aside, she remembered Lu Jiao before, and asked Zhang Tingyu with some uncertainty: "Senior brother, will he be the same as that Lu Jiao, a killer?"
Zhang Tingyu looked at the old beggar, shook his head and said, "I don't know, it's not quite like it." ”
A few people gave the old beggar a few more steamed buns, and then took the lead in moving forward.
Kyoto, Uncle Guo's Mansion, Lian Zhen looked at Sun Zihao and asked, "Isn't there any news over there?"
Sun Zihao replied: "Not yet." ”
"Then where is he?" Lian Zhen was a little dissatisfied.
"I don't know. ”
Lian Zhen said angrily: "If you don't know, go check, check it out and tell me." ”
"Yes. ”
Sun Zihao hurriedly went down to investigate.
A day later, Sun Zihao replied: "Uncle Guo, I found out through Fengyulou that Zhuo Yi is about to arrive in the capital. ”
"What, a bunch of rubbish. Lian Zhen said angrily, thought about it, and then said to Sun Zihao: "You go and bring a team of soldiers, block them, and make sure that he can't return to Beijing." ”
"Yes. ”
Zhuo Yi and his party stopped and stopped, for several days in a row, and the old beggar always hung behind. When the old beggar was hungry, he filled a bowl with water and boiled wild herbs in it to eat.
Ji Hongxiu looked at the steamed bun in his hand, and then at the old beggar's wild vegetables, and swallowed his saliva. She thought that the old beggar's wild vegetables must be delicious, at least better than steamed buns.
Ji Hongxiu looked at Zhuo Yi and asked, "Senior Brother Zhuo, how long will it take to get to the capital?"
Zhuo Yi replied: "It will take about three days." ”
Ji Hongxiu sighed and said, "After I arrive in the capital, I must go to the best places in the capital and eat the best meals." ”
Zhuo Yi nodded and said: "Okay, senior sister, when the time comes, I will definitely invite you to eat all the delicious food in the entire capital, such as flower chicken, roast fat sheep, roast suckling pig, roast duck..."
"Stop, don't say any more. Ji Hongxiu swallowed her saliva and shouted at Zhuo Yi. She looked at the steamed bun in her hand with a dejected face, she couldn't swallow it at all, she could chew it in her mouth for half an hour when she took a bite, but in the end she couldn't swallow it.
Several people continued to walk until evening, when a pair of officers and soldiers suddenly appeared and blocked the front of the road. The leader was a young general, and the moment he saw a few people, he directly led the leader: "Shoot." ”
At one moment, dozens of arrows shot at Zhuo Yi and a few people, and several people hurriedly defended.
Just after one round, followed by another round, several people hurriedly retreated.
Since the old beggar was also within range, several people protected him.
Zhang Tingyu said: "Let's retreat for the time being. ”
Zhuo Yi shouted: "Okay, the old man will be taken by me." After speaking, he appeared directly beside the old beggar, picked him up, jumped backwards, and fled frantically.
The old beggar was in Zhuo Yi's arms, his eyes flashed fiercely, he felt that the time had come, and suddenly pulled out a dagger from his body and stabbed Zhuo Yi.
As if he had been on guard, Zhuo Yi stretched out two fingers to clamp the dagger, and let go of the old beggar with the other.
Seeing that the dagger was blocked, the old beggar slapped Zhuo Yi's head with his other hand.
Zhuo Yi let go of the dagger and waved his hand and struck the old beggar's palm, and the two parted.
The old beggar looked at Zhuo Yi with some surprise and asked, "Am I not pretending to be?
"Your eyes, without the vicissitudes of the elderly, have hatred and dead silence, they are obviously a pair of middle-aged eyes. Although you try to avoid looking at us, the hatred still makes you unbearable, I also saw your eyes by accident, and the eyes were full of hatred, you should have something to do with the previous Lu Jiao, right? If I guessed correctly, you are the middle-aged man who pretended to hunt her down before. Zhuo Yi said.
The old beggar laughed and said helplessly: "Yes, I didn't expect that I tried my best, but I failed under one look." It seems that I can't kill you, and in that case, there is nothing to be nostalgic about. After saying that, the old beggar stabbed the dagger into his heart, and said softly: "Jiao, wait for me." ”
Zhuo Yi stretched out his hand, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Ji Hongxiu looked at Zhuo Yi with some surprise and asked, "You said he was the middle-aged man, so how did he become like this?"
Zhuo Yi said: "It should be for revenge, he should be Lu Jiao's husband." ”
Ji Hongxiu asked in shock: "He is so cruel to himself, you already knew that he was a killer?" Why didn't you remind me, I thought he was really an old beggar." ”
Zhuo Yi replied: "I just doubted, but I was also afraid of being wrong, so I tested him." ”
"So you're not sure, so that's good. Ji Hongxiu said happily.
"How is this good?" Zhuo Yi asked strangely.
Ji Hongxiu replied: "It means that you are not very smart." ”
Zhuo Yi looked up at the starry sky, only to feel that the starry sky was a little bright tonight.
