Chapter 6: The Truth
In the west of the capital, a plain house, the door is written "General's Mansion", and the furnishings are inferior, and there is no aristocratic style, the only thing that can make people believe that this is the General's Mansion, only the emperor who sat in the dusty hall and sat on the throne of the Zhenyuan General, Zhang Qingzhuo, he leaned on the table and held his cheeks, listening quietly..................
"General, now that the Ten Thousand Swords Villa has been destroyed, the Dragon and Tiger Gang has surrendered, the Mobei Demon Sect has faded out of everyone's sight decades ago, and there is only Hengshan in the entire rivers and lakes. When the time comes, the general's hegemony will be completed, but don't forget our agreement. ”
The person who spoke was a woman in red, about twenty years old, with long flowing hair. Apricot eyes and red lips, with an irresistible charm between the eyebrows. A thin veil blocks the tender skin that looms like fat, this is a rare beauty in the world, I am afraid that everyone walks by her, and they will want to get into trouble.
However, Zhang Qingzhuo's face was extremely gloomy, and he didn't want to communicate too much with the woman in front of him at all, looking at her face that showed a full smile at all times, he slowly closed his eyes, nodded helplessly, and then took a sip of tea. Falling back in his chair, he pondered what he had done for so long, or what the woman had forced him to do:
Half a year ago, Zhang Qingzhuo, the deputy general of the Imperial City Forbidden Army, saw that it was impossible for him to be promoted, so he wanted to devote himself to the rivers and lakes he loved the most, and he must be able to achieve something with his own skills. Just the day before his resignation, news came from the palace: the commander of the forbidden army suddenly died, and the position of commander was held by Zhang Qingzhuo. Perhaps the flame of hope was rekindled, and he gave up on the idea, which is why the situation was irreparable.
Today, the saint has always disliked the rivers and lakes, and the close relationship between the commander of the forbidden army and the rivers and lakes somehow reached the ears of His Majesty, when Zhang Qingzhuo was very flustered and thought that her life was in danger, a red dress gave her hope. When he abandoned himself and lay on the bed, waiting for the emperor to order him to be put to death. The woman in red appeared silently in front of his bed, with a smile that fascinated everyone.
And Zhang Qingzhuo also turned over and became alert, this is the General's Mansion, not to mention that there are dozens of guards, and she came to herself without alarming anyone, and even when she didn't have time to react, this person is unfathomable, Zhang Qingzhuo has no time to take care of her stunning beauty, and her eyes are on her steel knife five feet away............
"Ah, the general, slowly. The woman pressed an absolutely irresistible finger against Zhang Qingzhuo's throat, and suddenly his anger was churning, he wanted to mobilize his true qi but was suppressed by this finger, his eyes widened angrily, he wanted to get up, he wanted to speak, he wanted to fight back, after several attempts, he finally gave up on none of these things he could do.
He also gave up struggling, and then looked closely at the smiling woman in front of him, and was fascinated for a while, thinking that if he could die in the hands of such a peerless beauty, he might die without regrets, but the woman's next words finally made him stunned in place.
"General, I'm here to save you," he said, letting go of his fingers against his throat and sitting down beside him. "Now that the Holy One wants to complete the real unification, the rivers and lakes must disappear, you are only suspected of not being confirmed now, if you find a way to prove yourself now............"
"Prove yourself?
"Of course, it's to prove that you're still worthy. Let Your Majesty believe that it is impossible for you to take refuge in the rivers and lakes. The woman was also worried about the general's intelligence. "To put it more simply. Kill a few prestigious Jianghu people. ”
Speaking of which, Zhang Qingzhuo also understood that all this was controlled by this woman, it was she who killed the commander of the forbidden army, and it was also her who reported to the imperial court, which was nothing more than to control herself and kill people with a knife, and then she said the name Zhang Qingzhuo couldn't believe it.
"Tell me, who are you going me to kill?"
"Ten Thousand Swords Villa, under the day. ”
"You!" Zhang Qingzhuo jumped up suddenly, but was pressed down by the woman's hand again, and he was almost desperate at this time. "Do you know what you're talking about, is it so easy for the current martial arts alliance leader to kill? And even if you succeed, the entire martial arts will be turbulent, and the world will be in chaos............"
Zhang Qingzhuo looked at the woman's smiling face and gradually shut up...... He knew that this was what the woman wanted. And seeing that the woman is confident, she no longer has any illusions,
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
"It's very simple, you ask the emperor to kill the traitor in the daytime, Wanjian Villa has my people, he will poison Wanjian Villa in advance, you are only responsible for the end, and the credit belongs to you. Okay, it's all said, I'm leaving. I saw a wave of the red sleeves, and only Zhang Qingzhuo was left in the room............
But everything is going according to plan, the Ten Thousand Swords Villa is destroyed, and the commander of the forbidden army is crowned a general. And the woman in red doesn't seem to have received any benefits, but to this day, no one knows where she came from, and she can't even find out her name.
"Supreme Palace, messenger in red. ”
And this organization, the name, has never been heard of by everyone............
Seeing Zhang Qingzhuo's thoughts, the woman in red also knew what he was thinking, "Okay, it seems that the general is in a bad mood, oh! No, it may be the Hou Ye in the future, the little woman has said goodbye, we will still have a chance to cooperate again in the future, hehehe......"
After a hearty and sinister laugh, the figure of the red cloth was no longer visible............
The next day, downstream of the capital of Jinling, near the edge of an unknown village by the river, lay a young man, soaked, his lips purple, and the sword wound on his chest was faintly visible. The boy was already surrounded by villagers, and he was discovered by a father and daughter fishing on the river, who dragged the boy all the way to the entrance of the village, but no one could do anything about it. I had to wait for the village chief to arrive.
There was a lot of discussion:
"Leave it alone, in case he's a bandit, and bite us back if he is saved. ”
"yes, yes, let's leave this thing alone."
The girl who brought him ashore could not take it anymore, and shouted at the top of her voice: "What if he is a good man?
"Look at his injury, it's not caused by an accident, this person must not be simple, we can't cause trouble for ourselves!" the villagers argued. Most are firmly opposed.
"You...... You ......" The girl blushed with anger and was speechless for a while. can only fight back louder: "I don't care, you don't save it." I'll save!"
The two sides quarreled like this.
Until a weeping old man's voice appeared, "What's the matter, what are you doing here when you don't go busy farming and fishing in the morning?"
The villagers turned their heads to see that the village chief was being helped over, and they all kept their mouths shut and made way at the same time. The village chief, along the road, walked up to the boy. Before I could take a closer look, I heard the villagers' statements and their own opinions. Everyone unanimously expressed their attitude and resolutely opposed the entry of teenagers into the village. Although the girl wants to keep the boy, the power of one person is too small after all.
The village chief saw at a glance that the young man's chest was a sword wound, and he knew that this young man was by no means simple, for the safety of the whole village, the village chief had to pat the girl's head and sighed: "Since he was rescued from the shore, it is impossible for him to die like this, but he may be involved but the people in the village, Ying'er, since you know how to heal, just bandage him and pull him to the land temple outside the village." ”
Ying'er was the girl's name, and although there was no village chief who didn't agree to the proposal to take him into the village, it was already very happy to agree to save him. I only heard her "eh", so I hurriedly ran home and got spirits and needlework. Stitched up the wound to the young man, and at this time, the young man almost only had one breath left, and even if the needle and thread penetrated deep into the flesh, there was no reaction. And so it goes, from noon until the sunset............
