Chapter Forty-Nine: Officialdom Is Like Snow

In the old forest of Longji Snow Mountain.

The snow was shivering.

The men and horses of Senluo Dao were already about to catch up.

His Royal Highness didn't have time to listen to Zhong Er explain this matter clearly, and hurriedly said, "Give me the antidote." ”

"What are you panicking about?" Zhong Er said with a smile: "That's fake poison." I blacked out my crossbow arrows. ”

Yi Xiao was slightly stunned.

No wonder...... There are so many detoxification pills that are ineffective against Xiao Buyi!

It turns out that the arrows are not poisonous at all, this smiling man actually soaked the cross/crossbow arrows in the ink pool and painted them black, what kind of black-bellied person can come up with such a bad move?

Zhong Er smiled unabatedly: "If you want to escape for your life, you can only suffer a little." ”

Sven scum!

Yi Xiao was a little angry, and she couldn't wait to slap this unscrupulous man to death with one palm.

The second master of the Zhong family suddenly straightened his face and said seriously: "In order to cover you, I have let it go this time." ”

He muttered: "One yuan and three years of life, plus this one, three in one breath, this is nearly ten years of life." ”

He suddenly pulled out the long sword at his waist, the sword light flashed, and the man handed the hilt of the sword into Yi Xiao's hand with his backhand, and all the movements flowed in waves, stabbing straight towards him.

Without the slightest hesitation.

Pierced in the chest.

Then swipe it from top to bottom.

Cut a strange long opening.

A streak of blood spurted out without reservationβ€”

Yi Xiao looked at the man who was stumbling back in amazement, and said a word in the shape of his lips.

"South. ”

Zhong Er spurted out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground with a pale face.

The sword stabbed too hard, piercing the heart directly, and a line of blood shot out.

Zhong Er definitely didn't go to the meeting, because if this sword went down, he would no longer have to live.

Yi Xiao didn't have time to think about it, and the original resentment of Zhong Er in his stomach disappeared with this sword.

He turned slightly, converged on the sky, and stepped out of the snow.

made a big bend around the foot of Longji Mountain, and then rushed desperately towards Xiao Buyi's southern direction.

Yi Xiao had only one thought.

Escape.

Run.

escaped from the North Plains with Xiao Buyi.

He had a hunch that after this incident, it would no longer be as difficult as before to escape from the net of Sen Luo Dao.

The guy from the South China Sea will wipe his ass clean.

Facts have proved that Yi Xiao's hunch was not wrong.

......

......

Zhong Er's sword was quite technical.

Pierce the heart, leave no way out.

What's more, after he stabbed that sword with his backhand, he sealed his heart.

Forcibly renewing life.

There was already a figure behind him that broke through the air, carrying the majestic snow, and landed beside him in an instant.

Several members of the temple had extremely ugly faces, and one of them stretched out a hand, probed Zhong Er's snort, and whispered, "There is still a little breath......

The second master of the Zhong family pointed to the north with difficulty, and said in a hoarse voice: "He...... Heading north...... Longji Mountain, take the purple box. ”

Several adults of the temple will try to block Zhong Er's heart and make him stop the bleeding.

No amount of input of Yuan Force will help.

The voice of the second master of the Zhong family gradually lowered.

He said with difficulty: "Surround the dragon's back, at all costs. ”

When Duan Wuyin arrived, he couldn't believe his eyes.

He clearly saw the body of the second master of the Zhong family.

Placed in heavy snow.

An incomparably long sword wound crossed the path.

"After identification, the traces on this sword, as well as the breath of Yuan Li, were all left by Yi Xiao. A member of the temple who was responsible for tracing the traces said in a very low voice: "That person finally drew his sword and killed Zhong Er, according to Zhong Er's last confession, he should have fled to the dragon's back." ”

The member of the palace slowly stood up and said softly: "Yi Xiao couldn't ask for medicine, and killed the person in charge of the plan to destroy the Tang Dynasty, judging from the scene, this is the case." ”

The black-robed little marquis's first instinct told him.

This is not the case.

He raised his head and looked at the members of the Senluo Dao Hall who were also wearing black robes and purple orders like him.

None of them objected.

Although Zhong Er's body was in front of him.

But the evidence is ridiculously thin.

"Is this Zhong Er's deity?" Duan Wuyin walked in front of the corpse, turned over the corpse, and couldn't help but say with a slight anger: "Can he die like this?"

No one answered him.

Because of the second master of the Zhong family, Sen Luodao has never had his files.

No one knew where he came from, what happened in the Zhong family, why the Great Master gave him this position, and even his true face.

I only know that the second master of the Zhong family is unparalleled in the world in the art of controlling cranes, and he is extremely cautious when he travels for fear of death, and replaces him with a puppet without showing his face.

Duan Wuyin said gloomily: "Since you all don't know Zhong Er's appearance, why do you conclude that he is dead?"

Still no one answered him.

Duan Wuyin said angrily: "Think about it yourself, if Zhong Er really resists, there is not even a trace of Yuan Force here? He was directly stabbed to death by Yi Xiao with a sword out of the sheath, it was neat, there was not even extra blood on the snow, there would be such a coincidental thing in the world? In the end, he could calm his heart and hold on until you came and told you Yi Xiao's information?"

All the members of the temple seemed to fall into a deathly silence.

In the plan to destroy the Tang Dynasty, every member of the temple guild held a considerable number of Sen Luo Dao spies in their hands, and they could be regarded as the mainstay of Sen Luo Dao.

The eyes of each of them, staring directly at Zhong Er's corpse at this moment, became eerie and terrifying.

Duan Wuyin continued: "He is so afraid of death, will he take the deity to the meeting?"

Suddenly, someone interrupted Duan Wuyin and said in a cold voice: "Could it be that you want to say that Zhong Er is not dead?" He lured Yi Xiao over just to let him escape?"

Duan Wuyin naturally hummed.

The man then asked in a cold voice, "Then does this count as a betrayal of Wei?"

Naturally, it is a betrayal of Wei.

Duan Wuyin then hummed, but after that, his complexion had begun to change slightly.

The gloomy member of the palace continued to ask: "Those who rebelled against Wei, but they want to abolish their cultivation and be thrown to the Western Regions to be used as rations for demon beasts?"

The black-robed little marquis already understood what he meant.

So he didn't answer again.

And that person still didn't mean to stop, and said word by word: "If Zhong Er really betrayed Wei, but he died again, this big hat that betrayed Wei ...... Who should wear it for those of us?"

Duan Wuyin's face turned pale.

The member of the hall said softly, "The medicine bottle on Zhong Er's body has not been stolen in the slightest, so he didn't give the antidote to that little highness Qi Liang. ”

"Zhong Erzhong's sword, without the slightest loophole, was stabbed by Yi Xiao. ”

"The traces of Yi Xiao's departure are indeed towards the Longji Snow Mountain. ”

"These marks on the ground are enough to show that all this is either a coincidence or a trap, depending on how we choose. ”

"One of the most important points......" he exhaled a cloudy breath: "If Zhong Er is 'dead' like this, then he may really be 'dead'." ”

Duan Wuyin really understood what the man meant.

How to judge whether the true body of the second master of the Zhong family is dead.

There is only one way.

Wait for Zhong Er to reappear.

This strange man who came and went without a trace was in charge of the plan to destroy the Tang Dynasty, and no one knew where he would appear.

If he ...... Didn't reappear.

Then the corpse on the ground is not Zhong Er's deity, but must also be Zhong Er's deity.

Why?

Because whether this Zhong Er is a puppet or not, the real Zhong Er will no longer appear.

Therefore, it depends on these members of the palace to shape him as a hero who died for the Northern Wei Dynasty under the sword of His Royal Highness the enemy country, or to portray him as a traitor who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country and designed a big lie.

Obviously, two very different outcomes.

The hero's comrades are certainly heroes, and they are crowned officials.

The traitor's partner is naturally a traitor and dethrones the Western Regions.

Duan Wuyin was already drenched in a cold sweat.

He muttered, "So...... Zhong Er is dead?"

The member of the temple said with a complicated face: "He must die, otherwise it will be us who will die." ”

Sen Luo Dao was put on the table. The member of the palace said softly: "Zhong Erming died here, he would not reappear, this pot is on our back, and I don't want to be expelled from the Western Regions by Emperor Wei, so I will write the report cleanly." ”

Duan Wuyin looked at these black-robed men in a daze.

There was a strange glint in their eyes.

"Bury him. The member of the palace will be led and said softly: "It is written in the report, at the foot of the south mountain of Longji, Zhong Er, a member of the Ziling Palace, died in the hands of Qi Liang Yixiao, the autopsy was correct, and he sacrificed his life for the country, and the murderer has fled to Longji." ”

He paused, and said with considerable disgust: "Surround the dragon's back, whether there is anyone on it or not, it can be regarded as a betrayal of Wei, kill them all, and go back to hand over the errand." ”

The black-robed little marquis stood in place.

By the time the members of the temple who wore the purple order were almost gone.

The big man of the temple meeting led by him patted him on the shoulder.

"Duan Wuyin, I remember your name. ”

Duan Wuyin watched as the heavy snow fell on Zhong Er's body.

The blood stains were bright and dripping.

He said softly: "Now go south, block the invitation to the north pass, there is still a chance, I don't need to lead the team, I can do it alone." ”

The hall leader said expressionlessly: "Duan Wuyin, from now on, you are ordered to climb the dragon's spine and find a black-robed man, in order to prevent being left behind, you can be allowed to kill by mistake." ”

Duan Wuyin smiled: "Yu Gong...... Does it work? He's not in Dragon's Back at all. ”

The big man didn't reply.

The leader of the palace meeting, the old man of officialdom who had been in the Northern Wei Dynasty for more than ten years, raised his head and looked at the heavy snow, looking pure and flawless.

It's actually quite dirty.

When it falls to the earth, it falls to the ground, and I don't know how much blood it has stained.

What could be purer than snow looking?

What could be dirtier than snow looking?

The appearance is glamorous, but the content is unsightly.

"This is officialdom. Yu Gong said softly: "There is no difference between Qi and Liang in the Northern Wei Dynasty, they are all the same muddy. ”
