Chapter 56: Behind the Scenes
Three hours passed quickly.
At this time, it was almost dusk, and the night slowly covered the land.
The copper lamp was lit, and the faint light illuminated a pale face, which was described as withered, and no longer had the handsomeness of the previous wind god. On a simple wooden bed, Zhang Zhiyi was lying in it covered with a quilt, revealing only one face.
In the weather of May, although the night is a little cold, it is enough to cover a blanket, and Zhang Zhiyi, who is covered with a quilt, is still shivering, which can be seen from the fluctuations of the quilt and the purple lips.
"...... you guy......s? Where?" Zhang Zhiyi after using the medicine, although he is still very weak, he is sanity. In the dim light, looking at the blurred faces standing at the head of the bed, Zhang Zhiyi asked.
"You've been in a daze for almost a month. Luckily, you've finally woken up. Shi Tianyou stood still and said lightly.
"Yes...... Did Master Du save me? You were sent by Lord Du to take care of me?" Zhang Zhiyi's weak voice revealed a hint of happiness. It's always worth being happy to be alive.
The two men standing at the head of the bed did not move or speak.
"Ahem...... , I'm really sorry, you are disciples of the Sword Sect, thank you Sword Sect! Thank you!" Zhang Zhiyi saw that the two of them didn't speak, thinking that he had said the wrong thing, which made the two of them angry, so he hurriedly changed his words, his memory was still stuck in the night of the Sword Palace.
Shi Tianyou had an idea, and said lightly: "You are already a disciple of the Sword Sect, we still have to call you uncle according to the seniority, and it is a matter of course to save you, do you need to be so polite?"
"Ahem...... What's going on here...... You must know that,...... In short, thank you. The quilt on Zhang Zhiyi's chest rose and fell slightly, and he didn't know whether he was excited or stuffy.
Shi Tianyou and Ah Mo Nian were silent again.
"Two, can I trouble you...... Tell your sect master to come over for a moment...... Okay?" Zhang Zhiyi looked at Shi Tianyou and Ah Mo Nian, his face pleading.
The two did not say anything.
"Is it that the sect master's injury is not healed? Is he seriously injured?" ahem...... Zhang Zhiyi said again.
"The sect master is fine, don't worry. This time, it was Amonian who answered.
"Oh, that's good...... Ahem, that ...... People, did Master Du kill him?" Zhang Zhiyi's tone was weak and eager.
"The guy you're talking about...... Is that the one who badly wounded you?" asked Amonian.
"Yes, yes! It's him! Is he dead?" In the dim light, Zhang Zhiyi's eyes were wide open, and his face was full of anticipation.
"Why did Lord Du kill him? Shi Tianyou deliberately made his tone full of curiosity.
He ...... He was very strange, as if he knew a lot about me, so he deliberately tried to kill me. It's impossible for Lord Du not to see it. If he doesn't die, I'm afraid that he will be in trouble. cough, cough, cough, cough ......" After Zhang Zhiyi finished saying this, he kept coughing, obviously worried that the person was not dead, and he was in a hurry, so he was in a hurry.
"He's dead, beaten to death by Lord Du!" Amonian made his tone as happy as possible.
He ...... He's really dead? Great! I knew Master Du wouldn't let him go, ahem...... It's good that he's dead!" Zhang Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief in the quilt, his eyes slowly closed, and the nervousness just now seemed to take a lot of his energy.
He was just angry. Do you want to flick the tip of your knife on the instep of his foot, and you not only don't apologize, but you want to kill him, and he can't get angry, so he loses his weight, and everyone else would do that, right? Why do you want him to die so much? Did he kill your parents or did you kill his parents?" Shi Tianyou grinned.
"He ......" Zhang Zhiyi's closed eyes suddenly opened, looked at Shi Tianyou, and then "oops" screamed in pain, Zhang Zhiyi must have heard Shi Tianyou say "He killed your parents or did you kill his parents", chiseled to the sore spot, and his body involuntarily "bounced" from the bed, although the result was only moved in the quilt, but the wound was touched, and he grinned in pain.
"But before he died, he said something, do you want to hear it?" said Amour.
He ...... What did he say?" Zhang Zhiyi asked, but his tone was no longer nervous at the beginning, everyone was dead, what were you afraid of?
"He said that you were instructed by Du Rushan to kill his parents. Shi Tianyou said lightly.
"Did you say it loudly? Did you hear it? Did he say who he was?" Zhang Zhiyi became nervous again, and stretched out one hand from the quilt and grabbed the corner of the quilt tightly.
"Both of us heard it, and there must have been quite a few people in the hall who heard it. He said...... His name is Shi Tianyou," Mo said.
"Impossible...... Didn't Shi Tianyou die a long time ago? ...... he was talking nonsense" Zhang Zhiyi muttered in a low voice, and suddenly, he looked at the two people in front of him and said, "You guys...... You guys...... It's not from the Sword Sect, who are you?"
Shi Tianyou opened the cover of the copper lamp, turned on the wick, took the copper lamp to the head of the bed and approached Zhang Zhiyi, and said, "Take a closer look, who are we?"
Zhang Zhiyi's eyes rolled back and forth between the two, and finally landed on Ah Mo Nian's face, his expression turned from frightened to soft, and he said softly: "Chan'er, is it you......? You haven't changed at all, I ...... I think you're so miserable!" After speaking, tears oozed from the corners of his eyes.
"You whore, did you finally remember me when you were dying? Don't call me that, disgusting!" said Ammonian.
Zhang Zhiyi was startled, and his trance became sober again after being shouted by Ah Mo Nian.
At this time, a face came over, and this face was very clear under the light of the copper lamp.
"You...... You are" Zhang Zhiyi looked at this face with a vaguely familiar outline, rolled his eyes to look at Ah Mo Nian, and screamed, "Ghost!" and passed out.
Shi Tianyou woke him up.
Zhang Zhiyi opened his eyes slowly, his body was rolled up in the quilt, and he didn't dare to look at the two.
"You recognize it?...... I don't treat you well, why do you want to kill me?" Shi Tianyou said in a calm tone.
"You...... Don't look for me...... I...... I was also forced, and I couldn't ......," Zhang Zhiyi said, covering his entire head in the quilt.
"Who forced you?" said Shi Tianyou, sharply.
"It's him! He's the one who forced me...... I can't help it, I can't help it......" The voice that came out of the quilt was low and short.
"Who is he? Why did he force you?" The truth was close at hand, and Shi Tianyou felt that his heart was clumped, and even breathing became a little difficult.
"He is ......" Zhang Zhiyi stretched his head out of the quilt and said in a trembling voice: "You ...... You're not ghosts, I can hear your voice! You're those two people, you're the one who hurt me in the Sword Palace!"
"That's right, it's us!" said Amo.
"I know who you are, what do you want to do?" Zhang Zhiyi said humbly.
"Since you recognize us, what do you think we will do?" Shi Tianyou said coldly.
"Okay, then you can kill me!" Zhang Zhiyi closed his eyes, looking like a dead pig was not afraid of being hot.
"Well, we'll kill you first, and then we'll kill your whole family!" said Amo.
Zhang Zhiyi's closed eyes reopened, looked at Shi Tianyou fixedly, and said tentatively: "You are a good person, you will not kill innocents, you are scaring me!"
"Scaring you?" Shi Tianyou grabbed Zhang Zhiyi by the collar and lifted him up from the bed, "Did you think about it when you killed my parents and sister...... They're innocent too?!! don't you believe it, do you? Well, when you reunite in hell, you will!"
Zhang Zhiyi looked at the distorted face that was close at hand, and the scarlet eyes that glowed with hatred and anger...... He believed!
"Ahem...... Please...... Don't kill...... My daughter, you ...... Just put that ...... A thief...... Mother-in-law...... Knife ...... Chop, okay?" Zhang Zhiyi was already out of breath and had little air intake, and when Shi Tianyou grabbed his neckline like this, his eyes rolled white, as if he was about to die.
"Tell me who instructed you to kill my family, and I will not kill my family. Shi Tianyou let go of the hand that grabbed Zhang Zhiyi's neckline and let him lie down on the bed again.
"Ahem...... I'm going to die, what's ...... You can manage so much, that thief woman, you want to kill ...... Kill it, but I'm ...... Daughter, you ...... Not only can you not kill her, but you must protect her. You...... Promise me, I ...... Only...... Tell you who commanded you. Zhang Zhiyi said intermittently.
"Okay, I promise you!" Shi Tianyou said as he grabbed Zhang Zhiyi's hand to convey his true qi to him, so that he would not suddenly lose his breath.
Shi Tianyou knew that Zhang Zhiyi's parents were no longer alive, and the only relatives in the family were his wife, daughter and several aunts.
"My daughter's name is Zhang Xinxin, I hid him in Banxian Town, I tell you the address, after leaving this place, you must take her away immediately, and let her follow you inseparably to ensure her safety. Zhang Zhiyi had Shi Tianyou input true qi, and he spoke a lot smoother.
"Okay, I promise you, I also know your daughter, just go back and tell me the address. Shi Tianyou said.
"If you can promise me, I will believe you! Shi Lan's son, how can I not believe it. Zhang Zhiyi looked at Shi Tianyou, his eyes calmed down, and there was a sense of relief in his tone.
The two stopped talking, and waited quietly for Zhang Zhiyi to continue to .......
"That year, I was twenty-one years old, waiting for Jinshi's re-examination judgment in Chang'an Guozili Hutong. One day, I saw Chan'er in Guozihu Alley, and when I saw it, I felt like I had lost my soul, and my mind was full of her beautiful appearance. ”
Having said this, Zhang Zhiyi looked at Mo Nian and exclaimed: "Your eyebrows and eyes are very much like Chan'er, so when I saw you just now, I actually regarded you as a ......."
"Don't call my mother by her name, it's disgusting!
"Okay, okay, no more, I continued. The feeling of lovesickness is too tormenting, in order to see Chan as soon as possible...... She, I asked Ye Sanniang, the matchmaker in Beijing, to protect the media, but I didn't expect her family to respond to her and make an appointment to meet. Ahem......"
Zhang Zhiyi paused, smoothed out, and continued:
In this way, at first sight, he and Chan ...... She got better, so the love lingered for half a year, and after the re-examination verdict, I was going to Wu County to be the main bookkeeper, and when I was separated, I swore to her, and I did think so at the time, because I loved her very much. ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Zhiyi's tone gradually became angry.
Who would have thought that after returning home, my mother had already agreed to the Xie family's family affairs. Then...... At that time, the Xie family was a famous family, and his mother was also very snobbish, so she agreed. After I heard it, I firmly opposed it and will ...... with Chan She told her mother in detail about her affairs, and begged her mother to withdraw from the affair. What mother in the world doesn't love her son? When my mother saw me in such pain, she said she would go to Xie's house and give it a try. ”
Speaking of this, the pain on Zhang Zhiyi's face was even stronger.
After my mother came back from the Xie family, her face turned pale, saying that the Xie family was furious, and Xie Yu, the young lady of the Xie family, actually played ruthlessly in public, saying that it was my great blessing to be able to see me, and if I divorced from the marriage, where would the Xie family's face go? My mother had no choice but to persuade me in turn, and I was resentful, but there was nothing I could do, and finally I had to agree to this family business. ”
Speaking of this, the resentment in Zhang Zhiyi's eyes was even stronger.
The two listened quietly to .......
"After getting married, Xie Yu didn't know where to hear about me and Chan...... In the matter between her, I arranged for someone to go to Guozili Hutong to send a message and threaten her in my name...... She, later ...... Xie Yu even sent someone to assassinate her, and after I found out, I stopped her assassin halfway and killed her. Later, I secretly sent someone to protect her, and after a while, I really wanted to ...... She secretly went to her residence in the fruit to see her, but she didn't know that the building was empty, and then ...... inquired in the court, and the emperor no longer detained her as a proton,...... She has returned to the Tufan tribe. ”
"I know, in this life...... After all, I lost her, Chan...... Is she okay now?" Zhang Zhiyi asked fixedly, looking at Ah Mo Nian.
"You'll see her soon, and say hello to yourself then!"
Zhang Zhiyi obviously didn't understand the meaning of Ah Mo Nian's words, looking at the roof, holding the quilt, as if thinking about something.......
"You...... Are you saying she's dead?" Zhang Zhiyi grinned and cried, "Chan'er, I'm sorry for you......! I'll be with you right away!"
"Whore, don't be pretending here, go on!" said Amo.
Zhang Zhiyi glanced at the two of them, slowly closed his eyes, and continued:
"Since then, the Xie family has started to operate my career single-handedly. It didn't take long for me to be introduced to Du Rushan, at that time, Du Rushan's official position was not far from me, and when I was the chief secretary of Wu County, he was just the commander of Jiangzhou County. But slowly, the gap is getting bigger and bigger, and when he entered Beijing to serve as an official, I was still the county magistrate of Wu County. ”
"Pick the point, no one wants to hear such nonsense from you!" said Amo.
"Okay, okay, I'm very uncomfortable, so I'll get to the point. Zhang Zhiyi propped up the quilt on his chest with his hands, as if the quilt was pressing down on his chest, which was very uncomfortable.
"Later, Du Rushan became bigger and bigger, and I gradually became his person. He...... He planted it for me...... Yin and Yang Talisman...... From then on, I became a knife in his hand. ”
"Yin-Yang Talisman, what is that?" Shi Tianyou asked.
"It is a kind of crystal condensed by internal force, after being planted, it usually does not occur, and when it occurs, it seems that it is all up to Du Rushan to decide. He...... It's the devil, I told you, don't go to him for revenge, you said that you will protect Xinxin's safety...... Don't go to him for revenge, he's terrible. ”
Zhang Zhiyi talked about Du Rushan and his yin and yang talismans, and the emotions in his eyes were very simple, only desperate fear.
