Chapter Twenty-Three: Conspiracy
On the top of the Purple Mountain, under the gloomy sky, a drizzle of rain weaves obliquely.
Zhou Jinyu and Yelu Hanyan stood opposite each other, which was a bit sudden for both sides. Yelu Hanyan didn't know where Zhou Jinyu came from, Zhou Jinyu felt that it was really a narrow road to meet Yelu Hanyan alone here.
Zhou Jinyu's mood is a little complicated, it seems that Xiao Xiaotian is really Yelu Hanyan's wife, then she is also the murderer of her parents. However, Zhou Jinyu still slowly pulled the 'cadre' out of the milky white scabbard.
Zhou Jinyu's sudden appearance broke Yelu Hanyan and Xiao Xiaotian's plan, and their target today was Lan Gongpei, the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance.
Yelu saw that Zhou Jinyu had already drawn his sword, knowing that this battle was inevitable, and in desperation, he had already hung the 'Chixiao' on his chest, with a red hilt and an inch of red silk.
Xiao Xiaotian was a little surprised by what was happening in front of her, maybe she had forgotten to remove the guqin on her back and play a suitable song to enhance the murderous aura of Yelu Hanyan's sword moves, or maybe she didn't want to do it at all.
Yelu saw that Zhou Jinyu was slowly walking towards him, but Xiao Xiaotian had no intention of helping him, and was suspicious.
Suddenly, the main entrance of the 'Meditation Pavilion' was slammed open from the inside out by an external force, and sawdust flew all over the place. The alliance leader Lan Gongpei had already flown out of the house and fell heavily into Zhou Jinyu and Yelu Hanyan. The first duel between Zhou Jinyu and Yelu Hanyan was interrupted by this sudden change.
Lan Gongpei fell to the ground, his body was scarred, blood soaked through his shirt, and he could no longer stand. Qin Lang, the deputy leader of the alliance, followed closely, holding a long sword in his hand, and jumped out of the door, like chasing the wind, the long sword had already penetrated Lan Gongpei's chest.
At this time, Qin Lang's cronies who had been ambushed around in advance all poured out and surrounded the 'Meditation Pavilion'.
On this day, Qin Lang had been preparing for a long time, he wanted to find an opportunity to kill the alliance leader Lan Gongpei and become the martial arts alliance leader himself. But his martial arts are far below Lan Gongpei, and even if he kills Lan Gongpei, he can't explain to the world's martial arts.
Yelu Hanyan and Xiao Xiaotian's fame in the rivers and lakes made Qin Lang see an opportunity.
Qin Lang suggested that Lan Gongpei issue a wanted order in the rivers and lakes as the leader of the alliance, and then invite the heroes of the world to gather at the Purple Mountain General Altar. Qin Lang wanted to kill Lan Gongpei on the day of the alliance, because, no matter whether Yelu Hanyan and Xiao Xiaotian dared to come on this day, he could frame the blame on these two Khitans, and this plan could be described as perfect.
However, Qin Lang was no match for Lan Gongpei in any case, he actually bribed the leader of the alliance a few days ago, and put a small amount of 'oleander' in Lan Gongpei's rice every day.
Qin Lang counted the time, he had to do it again on the day of the alliance. And Lan Gongpei's 'oleander' caused heart rhythm disorders, and even the possibility of fainting, and he couldn't apply what he had learned all his life.
Qin Lang took advantage of Lan Gongpei's return to the 'Meditation Pavilion' to change clothes, and quietly followed, suddenly attacking the poison from behind.
Due to the heart rhythm disorder, Lan Gongpei just used his internal strength, and his qi and blood rushed straight to his chest, which instead contributed to the toxic attack, and he had no power to parry, and after being hit by several swords in his body, he was kicked out of the door by Qin Lang, and his heart was penetrated in front of Zhou Jinyu, Yelu Hanyan, and Xiao Xiaotian.
Qin Lang originally wanted to frame Yelu Hanyan and Xiao Xiaotian, but he didn't expect that he killed Lan Gongpei with his own hands and happened to be seen by them. Moreover, there is also a Zhou Jinyu who appeared out of nowhere.
At this time, at the turn of the west side hall, it was Lan Yaqiu who ran over. Lan Yaqiu's appearance made Qin Lang extremely nervous.
It turned out that Lan Yaqiu went to the crowd from the west side hall to look for Zhou Jinyu, and when she arrived at the place where Zhou Jinyu was standing, Zhou Jinyu was gone. Lan Yaqiu saw that Lin Lei'er, who was standing with Zhou Jinyu just now, was still there, so she half-squatted down and said, "Little girl, where is the person who stood with you just now?"
Although Lin Lei'er was young, she was very cautious, and asked first, "Who are you? What are you looking for him?"
Lan Yaqiu said: "I am his good friend, and we made an appointment to meet today." ”
Lin Lei'er said: "Since you are good friends, you must know what his name is." ”
Lan Yaqiu saw that the little girl in front of her was so alert, and couldn't help laughing: "Haha, his name is Zhou Jinyu, right?
Lin Lei'er also smiled and said, "Since you are friends, then I will naturally tell you." He pointed to the woods behind him and said, "He bypassed the crowd from this woods and went to the back of the main hall, but he will come back in a while, let me wait for him here, and you will wait for him here." ”
Lan Yaqiu didn't know what Zhou Jinyu was doing when she suddenly ran to the back of the main hall, and the back of the main hall was the 'Meditation Pavilion', thinking of this, Lan Yaqiu still decided to go to the back of the main hall to find Zhou Jinyu by herself, so she said, "I'd better go find him." ”
Lan Yaqiu had just walked around the west side hall, but when she saw her father Lan Gongpei lying in a pool of blood, her legs suddenly softened, and she wanted to hurry over, but she couldn't, so she could only hold on to the wall, trembling all over, and slowly walked over.
Zhou Jinyu wanted to step forward to help, but was surrounded by Qin Lang's men, and there was nothing she could do.
At this time, Qin Lang suddenly had a way in his mind, if everything in front of him was used, it would be even more seamless than the original plan.
Qin Lang shouted: "Brothers, the alliance leader treats me well on weekdays, don't let these three murderers escape!"
Suddenly, Qin Lang's subordinates rushed up and fought with Zhou Jinyu, Yelu Hanyan, and Xiao Xiaotian. There was chaos in front of the 'Meditation Pavilion'.
Yelu Hanyan's swordsmanship was extremely fast, and the 'Chixiao' in his hand drew several arcs in the air, and the few people who surrounded him had all fallen to the ground. Yelu Hanyan saw that Xiao Xiaotian wanted to help Zhou Jinyu, and at this urgent moment, if she didn't leave, it would be difficult to get out for a while, so she grabbed her, and with a light effort, the two jumped on the roof together, and then disappeared in the misty rain and fog.
Zhou Jinyu was struggling with Qin Lang and it was difficult to get out. At this time, the two protectors of the alliance leader's general altar had also arrived, and when they saw that everyone was shouting that Zhou Jinyu was the murderer, they also attacked Zhou Jinyu from both sides.
Zhou Jinyu had to use all the fallen leaves and autumn wind swordsmanship as a defensive posture to cover Zhou's upper and lower bodies, but even so, it was gradually declining.
The heroes on the mountain, waiting in a hurry, heard a loud noise behind the hall, and at this time they all surrounded them, shouting in unison to take Zhou Jinyu and seek justice for the alliance leader Lan Gongpei.
Lan Yaqiu was already crying, her eyes were red and swollen, and she suddenly shouted, "Don't fight!"
The heroes on the mountain were shouted by Lan Yaqiu, and they all stopped. Qin Lang saw that Lan Yaqiu asked everyone to stop, and also signaled his subordinates not to move for the time being, Lan Yaqiu was the daughter of the alliance leader after all, Qin Lang still had to give face, so he said to Lan Yaqiu: "Miss, this kid and Na Yelu Hanyan are in the same group, I saw him kill the Lan Alliance leader with my own eyes!"
Qin Lang's subordinates also echoed him, and they all pointed the finger at Zhou Jinyu, Zhou Jinyu was really speechless, he covered his wounds and stood on the spot.
Lan Yaqiu's red and swollen eyes stared at Zhou Jinyu, bright tears swirled in her eyes, she slowly walked in front of Zhou Jinyu, pulled out the golden short sword, and pressed it against Zhou Jinyu's chest and said sadly: "You already knew that I was the daughter of the alliance leader, right?
Zhou Jinyu felt that he couldn't wash himself even if he jumped into the Yellow River, and explained: "I didn't kill your father!
Qin Lang feigned anger and said: "Presumptuous! You dare to wronged a good person after killing the alliance leader, who among the heroes present doesn't know me Qin Lang? I have been in the same boat with the alliance leader for many years, can I kill the alliance leader?"
Qin Lang said to the old abbot of Shaolin who had white eyebrows: "Please also ask Master Hongyuan to be the master of our alliance!"
The old abbot Hong Yuan couldn't figure out the situation for a while, but he just put his palms together and said: "Amitabha, good, good." Then he silently recited: "Nam no Amitabha night Amitabha Dora Night, Amitabha Dora Night, Amitabha Amitabha, Amitabha Dha Dharma, Amitabha Dha Dharma, Amitabha Dha Taran Doga, Amitabha Dha Dharma, Amitabha Dha Dha Jarana, Amitabha Dha Dha Jarana, Weave Dola Jari Vara A..."
Lan Yaqiu didn't believe Zhou Jinyu's words at this time, she exerted force on the sword, and the tip of the sword had already pierced into Zhou Jinyu's chest.
Zhou Jinyu closed her eyes and said, "Sister Lan, if you insist on thinking that I killed your father, you can do it, I won't fight back." ”
Lan Yaqiu asked coldly, "Why are you lying to me?"
Zhou Jinyu said: "When did I lie to you?"
Lan Yaqiu said coldly: "You and those two killers are in the same group, you don't have to make up those stories to lie to me!"
Zhou Jinyu was speechless, no longer spoke, still with her eyes closed, the golden short sword was inserted into Zhou Jinyu's chest little by little, and the bright red blood flowed down the blade of the sword onto Lan Yaqiu's hand...
Zhou Jinyu quietly thought about this bumpy life, from the death of her parents to the murder of her master Zhao Bankong, and then to being framed by Qin Lang today. Thinking about it, Zhou Jinyu suddenly remembered that the revenge of her parents and master had not been avenged, how could she die so easily?
On the ground, Zhou Jinyu stepped back suddenly, covered her chest with her left hand, forcibly jumped onto the roof with light luck, and fled to the woods behind the house.
Qin Lang saw Zhou Jinyu running away, and shouted: "Heroes, don't run away from the murderer!" The heroes on the mountain immediately swarmed up, showing their magical powers, and also chased towards the northern woods.
Lan Yaqiu stood in place, her heart was broken, her thin back twitched suddenly, and crystal clear tears kept rolling down her eyes.
A suppressed, painful cry seemed to be pulled out of the depths of her soul with difficulty.
Lan Qiuya tried her best to cry out, "If you didn't kill my father, then what are you running away?"
