Chapter 123: Dark Red
Da Zhuang was in a daze, he had never seen anything like this... Man. Can this man be said to be a man? He is obviously more beautiful than all the women in Cuixianglou, but he is indeed a man. Da Zhuang wanted to laugh, but he couldn't laugh anyway, because he knew that in addition to being beautiful, the person in front of him was also very dangerous!
The man shook his sleeves as red as blood, and walked over to Da Zhuang with his head held high. Every nerve in Da Zhuang's body tensed, and he thought that he could respond at all times, but he was wrong. He didn't even see how the man did it, and he fell to his knees. His legs don't seem to belong to him anymore. The features on Da Zhuang's face formed an unusual arrangement due to fright, and he gritted his teeth and tried desperately to stand up, but the legs were out of his control, and he was already familiar with the commands of his brain.
Da Zhuang had to stare at the "man" who was pacing around his body with round eyes, and Da Zhuang said, "What did you do?"
When the man heard this, he laughed, and he didn't laugh like a man, but he laughed crisply, and he laughed for a long time, like a madman, and wanted to laugh all the laughs of his life at once. Da Zhuang finally waited until he finished laughing: "It seems that you are a madman!"
"You're calling me crazy?"
"Of course you're crazy! And you're a shemale! a shemale is not a man, and a woman is not a shemale!"
In the face of Da Zhuang's insults and abuses, he not only did not get angry, but squatted down and said to Da Zhuang, "How can I be like a dead man?" He touched Da Zhuang's broad shoulders, looking at Da Zhuang like a beast looking at his delicious prey, "Don't you want to know what I did? Then let you watch it again!"
The man raised his right hand and clenched it into a fist, and between his fingers was something dangling with silver, a silver needle! The silver needle as thin as a hair should have been fragile and fragile, but the man's smile told Da Zhuang that this silver needle could easily kill him.
Da Zhuang snorted coldly: "I thought it was some clever trick, it turned out to be a despicable trick to hurt people secretly!" Although he said this, Da Zhuang's forehead was already dripping with cold sweat, and Da Zhuang said again: "Since you said that I would become a dead man, why didn't you tell me your name? and your purpose." Let me die clearly. ”
The man smiled and said, "Death is death, what is there to understand and not understand, what is the difference after death?" He looked at Da Zhuang meaningfully, and then continued: "But for your sake, I will tell you one more thing, about my name......"
Silver?
It's silver needles again.
Qi Ying'er looked at the two silver needles in his hand, what was the purpose of Meng Po giving him these two silver needles before leaving? He didn't know why Meng Po handed over the silver needles to him so carefully, for this reason, he didn't tell Ling Quanfei about it, and he only secretly looked at the silver needles when he was resting along the way. He only felt that the two silver needles were familiar, but he couldn't think of where he had seen them. It had been two days since Qi Ying'er and Ling Quanfei left the town, and they first returned to the forest the same way, then found the small river, and followed the small river. They passed by the Nai He Bridge, and the tragic situation of that night had been lingering in Qi Ying'er's mind, but now that the place was peaceful and peaceful, there was no trace of that night.
Qi Ying'er was very surprised, he asked Ling Quanfei why this happened, why did the corpse of the thirty-six Tiangang disappear without a trace? But Ling Quanfei couldn't think of a reason, he only said: "If it was the White Crane Gang to deal with these corpses, I'm afraid we were surrounded and suppressed by the White Crane Gang a few days ago, so I guess it shouldn't be the White Crane Gang, but who did it, the rivers and lakes are so big, and there are as many strange people and knights as there are trees in this forest, and I can't think of who cleaned up the tail for us." What is certain is that person or those people may be helping us. ”
"You mean it's not just one person?"
"I'm afraid it's not a single person who can deal with such a corpse at once, if there is a real person, his own existence is enough to make people feel terrifying. ”
Qi Ying'er didn't speak again, but silently sorted out the messy thoughts in her head on horseback.
Is there any reasonable explanation for the boatman, Meng Po, and Dr. Zhong, and the Chang brothers who don't seem to be our enemies anymore? By the way, and Wang Kai! Why did Wang Kai, the "King of Poisonous Laughter", have an iron feather dart in his hand? When we first met him, he didn't poison us, and this time he didn't, is he also helping us? The purpose of our trip was to surprise the White Crane Gang and rescue Jingyun's family, but our whereabouts seem to have been known by Nangong He, wasn't the Thirty-Six Tiangang he sent to kill us? But after the Thirty-six Tiangang died...... Everything seems a little too easy.
- That's right, it's too easy. Even if someone obstructs it, the Chang brothers, Meng Po, Xing Gongzi and Thirty-six Tiangang, they are all famous masters in the rivers and lakes (except for Xing Gongzi), the resistance they formed should have been great, but they were all resolved by us, and it was a little unusual. If they were really doing something for Nangong He, why didn't Nangong He kill us and do his best to get rid of us, but watched us implement the plan step by step?
Plan!
Qi Ying'er's heart was cold, and she shuddered, that thought just passed through her mind for a moment - maybe Nangong He knew our plan, and there might be a ghost among us!
Qi Ying'er looked at Ling Quanfei, Ling Quanfei suddenly felt a cold look at him, he turned his head to look at Qi Ying'er, and said, "What's wrong?"
Qi Ying'er shook her head and said, "It's okay, how long do we have to go?"
Ling Quanfei looked ahead again, "I don't know, this river seems to have no boundary, but we have to continue to try to go on." ”
"Hmm. ”
The two resumed their previous silence and walked along the river one after the other.
Qi Ying'er didn't understand why he didn't tell Ling Quanfei what he thought just now, shouldn't he trust Ling Quanfei very much? Ling Quanfei taught him how to use his internal strength—but he was also the one who caused his internal strength to lose—no, how could he blame him? Obviously, he was going to save Meng Po. Besides, Ling Quanfei is still trying to help him recover his internal strength!
The sunset is reflected on the river, sparkling with gold. Qi Ying'er looked at the sky. - Who should I trust?
He suddenly felt a little helpless, although the idea of having an inner ghost was his own speculation, but what if it was true? Wouldn't all of us be exposed to danger all the time? Qi Ying'er felt more and more troubled. Putting all thoughts aside, he gripped the sword at his waist, his heart hollow, he felt less powerful than before.
— At least, I can still trust one person —
- How can I rely on others?
Qi Ying'er shook his head, as if he could get rid of all the messy thoughts in his head, but it didn't help him, he just felt a little dizzy. But it still made him firm that he had to rely on himself, and he had to pick up the sword with his own hands.
Sun Qiaoer is not a weak woman, but it is precisely because of this that it is difficult for others to see the fragile side of her heart. If she is like most women in the world, soft and weak, and only willing to lie in her husband's arms and whisper softly, then she is not Sun Qiao'er. She did want to lie in Qi Ying'er's arms, she admitted that she wanted to rely on Qi Ying'er, but because she was Sun Qiao'er - Shangguan Linglong's niece - she had to be strong, what she had to do was not rely on Qi Ying'er, but to share Qi Ying'er's worries.
At this point, she feels that she is doing a good job. After Qi Ying'er and the others went to Wanling Mountain, she took care of Li Yuanchen to recuperate and waited until he recovered.
Li Yuanchen stood in the courtyard and moved his muscles and bones, he was already sweating profusely after finishing a set of all-arm punches, he felt more and more comfortable physically and mentally, and it seemed that he was really healed. He walked to the well, picked up the cloth from the bucket that was placed at the well, wiped the sweat from his face, stirred the cloth in the bucket, wrung out the water, and wiped it on his face and neck, breathing a sigh of relief. Li Yuanchen was originally a rough man, but when he was sick these days, he was taken care of by Sun Qiaoer as Lin Daiyu, which made him feel uncomfortable. In the morning, he told Sun Qiao'er that he was all right, Sun Qiao'er didn't believe it, and he had to let himself continue to take medicine, Li Yuanchen was reluctant to say: "Really, Miss Qiao'er, I'm really all right, let me take medicine again, so I have to take medicine." ”
Sun Qiao'er is usually the most strong, but this time he is stubborn, so he had to compromise: "Okay, you can stop taking the medicine, but you have to wait until I find a doctor to see it!"
"Okay, good! Miss Qiao'er...... And this bowl?"
"This bowl, it's all boiled, wouldn't it be a pity to throw it out?"
"Huh?"
In the end, Li Yuanchen still pinched his nose and poured this bowl of bitter medicine into his stomach with a bitter face. Sun Qiao'er saw that the bottom of the bowl was clean, so she smiled and said, "Okay, you wait, I'll go and ask a doctor for you to take a look." With that, Sun Qiao'er put away the medicine bowl, and before going out, she suddenly turned her head and said to Li Yuanchen: "You, you can't use your energy casually, do you hear?"
Li Yuanchen nodded: "Don't worry." ”
But not long after Sun Qiao'er went out, Li Yuanchen also quietly went downstairs, called Xiao Er and asked, "Is Miss Qiao'er gone?"
Xiao Er said: "Ah? Officer Li, Miss Sun just went out." ”
Li Yuanchen nodded and said, "Okay." When she comes back in a moment, you have to shout at her a little louder, like this, 'Miss Sun, you're back'!
Xiao Er was puzzled: "Officer Li, what are you doing here?"
Li Yuanchen said: "I asked you to report to me, understand?"
Xiao Er smiled: "So that's the case! Okay, the little one understands." ”
Li Yuanchen looked out of the street again, thinking that he had to hurry up, so he immediately walked to the backyard and practiced his arm boxing. After practicing boxing, he felt comfortable, but just after wiping his face, he heard a coquettish hum, he suddenly seemed to be frozen, and then slowly turned his face, and saw Sun Qiaoer staring at him with his waist crossed, and there was a slightly fat old man standing next to her, with a medicine box on his shoulder.
Li Yuanchen thought in his heart: "This foolish little er, why didn't he report a letter? Look at how I count him down for a while!"
In fact, Xiao Er said loudly early when Sun Qiao'er hadn't even stepped into the threshold of the inn: "Miss Sun, you're back!" Sun Qiao'er was surprised for a while: "Ah, oh, I'm back." At this time, Xiao Er saw that there was still no movement in the backyard, so he blocked Sun Qiaoer's way, and bent down and shouted: "Miss Sun, you are back!"
Sun Qiao'er sensed that something was wrong, and pinched Xiao Er's shoulder, who would have thought that a woman would have such great strength that Xiao Er's tears would flow out, and Xiao Er begged for mercy and betrayed Li Yuanchen. And Li Yuanchen was already selfless because of boxing practice just now, and he didn't hear Xiao Er's reminder at all, and even Sun Qiao'er was already standing by the door watching her finish boxing. You're back..."
Sun Qiao'er closed her mouth tightly and looked at him coldly, giving him goosebumps all over her body. When Li Yuanchen was at a loss, the old doctor next to Sun Qiao'er laughed and said, "Oh, this is the patient that the girl wants to ask the old man to see, right? The set of punches he just now is enough to show that he is very healthy!"
Sun Qiao'er turned around and said, "Don't you really need to look at it?"
The old doctor shook his head, Sun Qiaoer thanked the old doctor, and then sent him away, before leaving, he wanted to pay the doctor for the consultation, but the old doctor resolutely refused to accept it, Sun Qiaoer had to thank him again and again, and then watched the old doctor leave. After that, she walked to the backyard again, and saw Li Yuanchen drinking well water with a scoop. Li Yuanchen didn't care about drinking, he lifted the scoop, and three silver needles passed through the scoop, Li Yuanchen's face flashed, and the silver needles were nailed to the wall behind him.
Sun Qiao'er said: "It seems that Uncle Li's illness is really cured!"
Li Yuanchen put down the water scoop and smiled: "Yes, I'm really all right!"
Sun Qiao'er snorted and said, "But I haven't forgiven Uncle Li for secretly practicing boxing behind my back!" After speaking, she turned around and went back to the inn to the lobby.
Li Yuanchen just sighed emptyly: "Hey, girls are really hard to mess with!"
After everyone walked for eight days, Sun Qiao'er and Li Yuanchen were also ready to go on the road, and it was also the time when Luo'er and Da Zhuang took Meng Po back to Cuixiang Building. Sun Qiao'er thought that if it was planned, everyone should be about to arrive at Wanling Mountain at this time, but she didn't know how many things had happened, at this moment she only hoped that the horse under her could go faster, and she could see Qi Ying'er as soon as possible. Li Yuanchen hadn't walked outside for a long time, and he suddenly breathed in the fresh air, only feeling very comfortable. But when he thought of everything he was about to face, he became solemn again, especially when he thought of Shangguan Linglong's death - he never believed that Shangguan Linglong would commit suicide, he must find out the truth, and the masked man!
The wind in Cuixianglou is no longer gentle and intoxicating, but mixed with the smell of blood. He fell to the ground and turned into a corpse. His dark red robes were now darker, as his robes were soaked in blood. He lay in a pool of blood, and a man knelt in front of his body. Da Zhuang's eyes became hollow, he survived, but he seemed to have just crawled out of hell. It was as if he had already died once, but for some reason, he wasn't really dead, because the person who killed the man didn't kill him.
But in the blink of an eye, just as the guy in the red robe was about to say his name, he suddenly fell silent, he clutched his neck, and stepped back. Blood spurted from between his fingers, and then he couldn't stop the gushing blood anymore, his eyes were full of horror and maybe remorse, maybe he regretted that he had said too much, and now, he never had a chance to say a word again. He stretched out his hand as if he was asking Da Zhuang for help, but Da Zhuang was just as frightened at the moment. He watched as a man more beautiful than a woman collapsed and turned into a cold corpse.
