Chapter 255: Life and Death (13)
The valley lord wanted to tell Zong Zheng the true truth about the murder of his father and brother, but Xianjie was a little panicked when she heard it, and what she was most afraid of would eventually happen.
Before Zong Zheng got on the crowd, "What is the truth?" He asked excitedly.
"Are you sure you want to know the truth, I'm afraid you'll regret it!" the valley lord reminded.
"Don't listen to her nonsense, she is deliberately delaying time, hurry up and kill her with a sword now, once she recovers, we are no match for her. Miaoji shouted to Zongzheng.
"Yes, this person's martial arts are extraordinary, and she must not be allowed to recover. "Qu Zicheng also echoes the Tao,
Xian Jie, who was hiding behind the crowd, slowly picked up the water ice sword, she looked at the valley master, her blood-stained hands held the sword in her hand tighter, there was a moment, she wanted to fly forward, taking advantage of the valley master's luck to breathe, before she could tell the truth of the matter, a sword stabbed her to death.
She did have thousands of reasons to kill the valley master, it was she who brought her infinite pain and suffering, but at this time, she actually relented, she hesitated, this is what she has been struggling with, that is, Zongzheng has the right to know the truth, no matter how painful the truth is, but this is the truth after all, his concealment is always guilty for Zongzheng, and he has never been able to feel at ease, even if he kills the valley master today, can he really feel at ease for the rest of his life if he keeps such a truth? Is he really worthy of Brother Zheng?
Just when Xianjie hesitated, Shang Youwei and Youya and others began to slowly step forward to give the valley master a good time.
Zong Zheng understands very well that the reason why these people want the death of the valley master so much is because they are all murderers who forced their father and brother to death, but Zong Zheng knows very well that the valley master has long known that he knew that the death of his father and brother was forced to death by them, but why does she want to emphasize the real truth, it is definitely not that simple.
"Stop, stop. Zong Zheng shouted loudly, but he couldn't stop their killing intent at all, so they continued to go to the valley master.
"Situ Bowen. The valley lord suddenly read the name out loud, and when they heard it, everyone stopped.
Hearing this name, the most uncomfortable and frightening thing is Xianjie, she suddenly trembled in her heart, she knew very well that once this truth was said, it would be extremely embarrassing for herself and for her brother.
"Situ Bowen?" everyone looked at each other, who was not familiar with this name, the successor of the Vientiane Sect, was once famous, but the strange thing is that he and Qu Zicheng and others disappeared at about the same time, and Qu Zicheng and others have returned safely, according to what they said, they have not seen Situ Bowen himself from beginning to end, so where did he go?
Zong Zheng was also extremely surprised when he heard this name, Situ Bowen was not anyone, it was Xian'er's father, but what did he have to do with his father and brother who killed him?
"What do you mean? Zong Zheng was a little incredulous.
"Situ Bowen and your father Zong Wei are sworn brothers, when you were in trouble in Chengdu City, your father flew a pigeon early in the morning to send a message to Situ Bowen to come to help, but Situ Bowen betrayed the news to Mongolia and the Central Plains martial arts faction. The valley lord explained,
"You are talking nonsense, my senior brother is above board, it is absolutely impossible, don't want to insult my senior brother's reputation. Sun Chengyin of the Vientiane Sect was displeased on the spot, pointing at the valley master, indignant.
"Yes, Situ Bowen has always been chivalrous, what evidence do you have for slandering him like this?" The grief and indignation masters present also spoke up righteously, uprightly.
"Evidence, did you get this news through Situ Bowen back then, don't you know it in your hearts? You just don't want to believe that Situ Bowen secretly colluded with Mongolia, and I have here a handwritten secret letter sent by Situ Bowen to the Mongolian Khan Ogedei. The valley lord was a little unaccustomed to the faces of these self-proclaimed righteous factions, and his words couldn't help but be a little sharp.
And Zong Zheng still didn't want to believe it, "What about the secret letter? ”
"That letter is not with me, it is hidden in the secret pavilion, but Situ Xianjie has seen it, and she knows her father's handwriting. The valley lord finally mentioned Xianjie, and she didn't forget to lay out the chess game behind her before she died.
"Xian'er, it can't be. Zong Zheng muttered to himself, it turned out that Xian'er had known for a long time, no, this is not true, Zong Zheng was a little unbearable.
The eyes of the crowd all shifted to Situ Xianjie, many of them didn't know Situ Xianjie's true identity, and they were all secretly curious and speculated, could she be Situ Bowen's daughter?
Zong Zheng looked at Xianjie blankly, expecting her rebuttal, even if it was just a few words of resistance.
But Xianjie didn't, she looked at Zong Zheng with a guilty face, her eyes had already made Zong Zheng feel something, and this feeling made Zong Zheng very uncomfortable.
"Xian'er, is this so?" asked Zongzheng, "tell me, all this is the Gu Lord's nonsense. ”
Xianjie knew that as long as she was with her brother, this matter would always be a pimple between them, and she couldn't escape it, since the valley master had told the truth, she decided to face it calmly, some things were destined to be unavoidable.
"Brother Zheng," Xian Jie looked at Zong Zheng, she let out a long sigh of relief, but there was a slightly painful expression on her face, and she could see how entangled her heart was to admit such a thing.
"She's right, I've read that letter, it's true that my father betrayed your father and betrayed your father's trust, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have hidden it from you. Xianjie finally said what she had to say, although she knew what it would mean to say this, her father's reputation was damaged, and her relationship with her brother was in jeopardy, so when she said the three words "I'm sorry", she couldn't help crying, but she still held back her tears.
Zong faced this sudden truth, he couldn't bear it for a while, and he couldn't stop thinking in his heart, "Impossible, Xian'er lied to herself." ”
"There are many people in your beauty valley, and it is probably not difficult to imitate my senior brother's handwriting, what can a letter say?" Sun Chengyin once again seized the loophole and retorted, after all, this matter involves the reputation of the Vientiane Sect, how can Sun Chengyin listen to it and believe it.
Sun Chengyin's rhetorical question gave Zong Zheng a glimmer of hope, but Xianjie was still as calm as water, because she knew very well that the handwriting could be forged, but some fixed pen details were difficult to completely imitate, and besides, the valley lord gave her dozens of secret letters about her father's secret communication with Mongolia.
"Facts are always facts, there is one person who can prove what I said, this person's surname is Zhuang Mingwei, who was once imprisoned by me in the dungeon of His Excellency Juxian, and he and Situ Bowen and Zong Wei are the three brothers of righteousness. After telling the physical evidence, the valley owner threw out a powerful certification.
Hearing Zhuang Wei's name, Qu Zicheng and the others who escaped from Juxian Pavilion together gradually had an impression.
"Then why did Situ Bowen do this? What is his relationship with your Mongolia? There is no reason for him to betray the Great Song Dynasty!"
"I can only say that he was indeed forced to be helpless, otherwise he would not have betrayed Mongolia in the end because of his inner entanglement, and invited him to kill. The valley owner didn't explain too much.
"Kill her quickly, and if she drags on any longer, she will soon recover her internal strength. Miaoji reminded with a worried face.
"What are you nervous about? The valley lord immediately retorted, "Zongzheng, how sad you should be, no, how sad your father and you should be, you have become a chess piece on the chessboard of the wonderful machine from beginning to end, and you don't even know it." ”
"What do you mean?" Zongzheng didn't understand why he and his father had become Miaoji's pawns, and the Gu Lord's words implied that his father and Miaoji knew each other.
"Kill her, quickly, or she'll regain her strength, what are you waiting for. On the surface, Miao Ji was worried about the valley master's recovery of strength, but in fact, in Zongzheng's eyes, he was hiding something, and he must be afraid that the valley master would tell some deeper secrets.
Under the urging of the wonderful opportunity, everyone gradually stepped forward to strike a fatal blow while the valley master was healing.
"Don't, let him finish. Zong Zheng shouted loudly behind the crowd,
It's a pity that this time they didn't stop, they really wanted to do it.
The valley lord also felt their determination, and she had no way out, so she could either sit back and wait for death, or forcibly perform her luck and risk her true qi to go against the grain and finish the rest.
Everyone's footsteps gradually approached, the valley lord suddenly stopped pranayama, and the crowd who forcibly came up again was a fierce blow, and then took the opportunity to turn over and come to Zong Zheng, and choked Zong Zheng's neck with his hand.
Xianjie saw that the sect was being controlled by your valley master, and immediately became nervous, and everyone surrounded the valley master again.
"Let go of Zongzheng. Qu Zicheng commanded.
"Everyone, stand back, or I'll kill him right away." The valley master had no intention of compromising, but instead had a little more strength on Zongzheng.
Everyone was afraid of Zongzheng's safety and did not dare to step forward, but they did not retreat.
But they only confronted each other for a moment, and suddenly, the valley lord spurted out a mouthful of blood, and she forced her to work hard, and she was already really angry, and no one could save her.
She also knew that the catastrophe was inevitable, looking at the pair of hateful eyes in front of her, looking at the sword in front of her, she slowly moved Zongzheng to the edge of the cliff.
"Don't, if you have something to discuss, if you can, use me for my brother. Xianjie looked at her brother on the edge of the cliff, Xianjie was still concerned from the bottom of her heart as always, just like now, if she could, she could exchange her life for her brother's life.
Zong Zheng wanted to shout "Don't," but his neck was tightly clasped by the valley master, and he couldn't make a sound at all.
A burst of true qi surged in Gu Body's body, and she was powerless to suppress it, vomiting blood again.
"Win Shengtian, you have reversed your true qi and have no strength to return to heaven, so let's stay with Zongzheng! Miaoji persuaded.
The wind from the cliff mouth blew across the valley lord's cheeks, blowing her hair, the blood dripping from the corners of her mouth fell on the old gray coat, she glanced at the valley of beauty again, the place where she had always lived, and took a deep breath, perhaps at this moment, she was relieved.
"Miaoji, don't be complacent, if you bring down my emperor's family, as well as the Xuan family and the Heavenly family, you will follow in my footsteps sooner or later. As he spoke, the valley lord quietly stuffed something into Zongzheng's arms, and then pushed away Zongzheng's wheelchair with one palm, turned around himself, and jumped off the cliff without hesitation, leaving only the sentence before jumping off the cliff, "I can't be defeated if I win the sky." "Echoing at the mouth of the cliff for a long time.
