Chapter 42: Identity Exposed
"Looking for a husband?" Zhou Yi asked silently in her heart, and sighed in a low voice, "I see, no wonder she doesn't even dream of someone, is this the case with infatuated women all over the world?
Yu Xi saw that he had a leg injury, so he asked him to sit down by the fire to rest, Zhou Yi was unsettled, and was aroused by Yu Xi's words to miss the old man's emotions, half infatuated and half drunk, I don't know why.
Because I thought, if Mo Li is still safe in the world, and he is still twenty-three years old, how can there be a woman in the world who is not married at this time? Thinking of this, I can't help but admire this infatuated martyr in front of me.
At that time, the bonfire was shaking, both of them looked at the firelight, Zhou Yi looked up, and saw Yu Xi's pear blossoms falling into the water, thousands of charming, especially the pair of phoenix eyes, which were fascinating, and compared with Mo Li's imagination back then, it was so similar! Zhou Yi was unconscious, the corners of his mouth smiled, and he couldn't help but open his mouth and say: "With such a beautiful family, how can there be a negative person in the world!"
"What did you say!"
Yu Xideng's face was red, his eyes glared angrily, and he looked at Zhou Yi angrily.
Zhou Yi came back to his senses at this time, hurriedly got up and took a few steps back, bowed down and apologized: "I have no intention of offending, please forgive the girl!"
Yu Xi was arrogant by nature, and when she heard this, she felt that this person was too frivolous, or she intended to ridicule her. If someone else, with the sword she has carried with her for ten years, she will make him kneel and beg for mercy, but this Zhou Gongzi is kind to her, if she turns her face for a sentence, the other party can't step down without saying anything, and she will be very embarrassed. Yu Xi snorted, took out a piece of silver from his baggage and put it on the ground, meaning to reward him for his kindness in giving clothes, and then without saying a word, he turned around and strode out of the mountain temple.
There was only one day of stars outside the door, and when I came out of the bright room, it was pitch black. Zhou Yi hurriedly chased after him, went out of the mountain temple, and shouted a few 'Miss Zhou', but no one responded.
Zhou Yi kept chasing him for two or three miles, the wound on his leg had burst out, and the blood kept flowing down his leg. He was in a low mood and very ashamed, sighed a few times, and had to return to the mountain temple silently.
When I entered the temple gate, I suddenly smelled the fragrance of wine, reflecting the fire in the house, and a figure could be vaguely seen. Zhou Yi only thought that the girl was back just now, so he was lame and hurriedly came to the house. Before he entered the door, he heard someone in the house laugh at him and said: "It's a pity that you have such a beautiful family, but you can't serve Zhou Yi!"
This sentence shocked Zhou Yi like a thunderbolt from the sky, he gasped, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly.
Since someone has seen through his identity and is waiting here, it can be seen that the person who came is not good, but she came here late at night, it seems that she is alone, and she has no intention of debunking him. So he made up his mind, pushed the door and entered.
==***==
As soon as he entered the door, Zhou Yi was dumbfounded, only to see Wu Xin sitting by the bonfire, holding a wine bag in his hand, looking at the fire with drunken eyes, and a sword not far from him, the sword was not in the sheath, and the blade was still stained with blood, as if he had just killed someone.
Zhou Yi was taken aback and walked up with his injured leg.
"You killed her?"
Wu Xin raised her head and stared at Zhou Yi, with two lines of tears hanging on her crimson cheeks.
"You are not surprised how I know your identity, but ask me if I killed a passerby, which shows the weight of her in your heart!"
As he spoke, he threw the wine bag aside, picked up his sword and pointed it at Zhou Yi's chest, and his kind tone at that time immediately became stern.
"When you laid me a game, I was trapped in it for ten years, and I won't kill an innocent woman until this debt is settled!"
Zhou Yi smiled suddenly, without the slightest fear, thinking that the person who followed him yesterday must have been sent by Wu Xin. Now that everything is clear, he doesn't have to hide it anymore, and what he can't rest assured at this time is his mother who has worked hard to raise him to adulthood.
"The girl has clear grievances, she is a reasonable person, my grievances with you have nothing to do with others, Zhou Yi is dressed in white, only three inches of life, if the girl can't solve the hatred of the year, just take it!"
Wu Xin listened to every word, the nameless fire in her heart had already been running around, and the bloody blade in her hand trembled slightly, but she didn't move forward half an inch. After a stalemate, Wu Xin smiled bitterly: "People are not afraid of death, so why should they be afraid of death?"
With a 'bang', the long sword in Wu Xin's hand fell to the ground, and the blade fell into the fire, splashing a ball of sparks.
Zhou Yi looked stunned, looked back at Wu Xin, and in an instant, seemed to understand the love-hate entanglement in her heart. Thinking of his own dignified seven-foot man, acting forward-looking and backward, he can't be as free and easy as the woman in front of him, although he is forced to be helpless, but in the end, he is no longer the innocent-hearted teenager he was yesterday at this time. He felt guilty in his heart and frowned, so he bowed.
"The fields that have come to this point today are all caused by the world's forced death. Life and death are not to worry about me, but the only thing I can't let go of in my heart is the biological mother with gray sideburns in the hall! This is the case today, and it was the same back then, I have no grievances with the girl, and what I did back then was nothing more than wanting to restore peace to the world!"
"Taiping?" Wu Xin smiled coldly, "My father got the Nine Dragons Jade Flute to treat my mother's illness, and what about Yue Zhong? In order to achieve his own goal, he will do whatever it takes to let the entire rivers and lakes besiege my Six Hanging Peaks, let me ask, is this the so-called Taiping of your Baihe Mountain!"
"Then what is the difference between your father and my third uncle's actions when he killed his brother for the sake of the Nine Dragons Jade Xiao?"
"Shut up!" Wu Xin was furious, hooked her toes, and picked up the sword that had already burned red on the ground, she reached out and grabbed the hilt of the sword, the blade shook, and the fiery red tip of the sword pointed directly at Zhou Yi's eyebrows.
"The right to speak is always in the hands of the butcher!" his words were cold, and he was not afraid of angering Wu Xin at all. However, as soon as these words came out, I remembered that Wu Xin tried to ask for Bai Lingdan from Yao Gui yesterday, looking at her trembling lips, the word 'butcher' was really too much. So the voice changed, and he said in a low voice: "Yesterday, the girl saved my third uncle with a hundred spirit pills, Zhou Yi is grateful, this is what Zhou Yi owes you, you don't have to hesitate, just ask you to let them live, after all, what the third uncle got back then was a Nine Dragons jade flute without a golden pill." The reason why Liuhang Peak has the golden pill and is not exterminated is because my third uncle has become a pawn of your father, and you should let him live, right?"
Wu Xin's eyes were slightly closed, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Listen to your tone, I should still be grateful to him?"
Zhou Yi said: "You gave me the Bailing Pill yesterday, isn't it the unextinguished good thought in your heart? This is the dying man's dying plea, please don't kill the girl!"
With that, he closed his eyes slightly, waiting for the sword to pierce his throat.
"Can you even guess that Jin Dan is still in the Six Hanging Peaks? You say that, aren't you afraid that I will really kill you?"
"In the next thin life, if I can exchange it for the girl to open the net, let my mother and sister leave safely, Zhou Yi will die without regrets!"
Wu Xin said coldly: "Do you really think that I am going to kill Yue Zhong and destroy my mouth!"
Zhou Yi suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Wu Xin.
"What do you mean by that?"
"If I want to kill him, he won't have enough ten heads!" Wu Xin was very excited, if this sword was not pierced, the grief and anger in her heart would be difficult to vent, so the blade of the sword turned, and the red iron sword pierced directly into the door beam.
Zhou Yi is a person who understands human nature, seeing Wu Xin like this, it is expected that she must have something unspeakable, at least she can understand one thing, assassinating Yue Zhong was not her original intention.
"Zhou Yi is reckless, if there is any offense between words, I hope the girl will forgive me!"
Wu Xin didn't reply to him, but only took out a letter from his arms and handed it over. Zhou Yi saw that the envelope was written 'Leader Wu personally opened', obviously, this was a letter sent to Wu Ye. Zhou Yi opened the letter and saw that it was written: Zuo Zixiao is headed!
"Zuo Zixiao!"
Wu Xin said with a blank face: "Ten years ago, my father personally told me that it was Zuo Zixiao who instigated him to rebel against Master Tai, and since then, I have begun to secretly investigate him. This person's methods are strange, and before he helped my father seize the Nine Dragons Jade Flute, he had already chosen a place for my father to settle down. The Six Hanging Peaks were originally Han Yi's territory, and Han Yi was not a mercenary person, but under the encouragement of Zuo Zixiao, he was willing to give up the Six Hanging Peaks and let my father sit in the first place. After that, he asked his subordinates to loot the people in private, so that his father would bear the notoriety of this bandit! I had told my father many times about this, but he couldn't listen to it, he said that Zuo Zixiao could let Han Yi give up the entire Six Hanging Peaks to give him a foothold, and this friendship was unquestionable. I can't help it, I can only investigate alone. ”
Zhou Yi listened to her and looked at the letter in his hand again, "What have you found?"
Wu Xin said: "Zuo Zixiao is doing things for the people of the imperial court!"
Zhou Yi was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Is there any evidence?"
Some of the evidence has not yet been confirmed, but the money he looted from the people was constantly being transported to the palace. ”
"Who is the person in the palace who took over with him?"
Wu Xin was about to answer, but suddenly his face sank again, turned his back, and said: "I don't seem to have much to say to you, I show you this letter to tell you that it is not my father who has really wanted to hunt down and kill your third uncle all these years, the twenty left sons." Dong Guoxiu and I were ordered to recover the Jiulong Jade Flute, I don't know when he also arrived in Changsha, he sent someone to follow you yesterday, and then he knew your true identity. He was afraid that Dong Guoxiu and I would not listen to his dispatch, so he sent someone back overnight to tell his father that I didn't want you to die in the hands of Liuhang Peak, so I came to tell you. Unexpectedly, the disciple of the dignified Baihe Mountain is indeed a gentleman who plays with Fengyue!"
Zhou Yi breathed a long sigh of relief, and also sweated for his family's situation, if it weren't for Wu Xin's understanding of affairs, he originally advocated waiting for Yue Zhong to recover from his injuries before returning to Baihe Mountain, if this was the case, wouldn't they all die tragically at the hands of the wicked?
Thinking of this, he bowed deeply and said sincerely: "Girl, Zhou Yi will never forget, I am offended by words, please don't go to my heart!"
Wu Xin smiled wryly, very disdainful of his apology.
Zhou Yi also said: "If you can see you again in the future, please ask the girl to tell the truth of the investigation! I can't hide it, Baihe Mountain is full of disasters and difficulties, and my own brother also died at the hands of wicked people! This Zuo Zixiao is scheming, he is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, if his letter reaches the Six Hanging Peak, Ling Zunruo does not have a murderous intention, I am afraid that the souls of the dead who defended the Six Hanging Peaks ten years ago will be uneasy, and Zuo Zixiao will also force Ling Zun to commit the crime. Baihe Mountain and Liuhang Peak live and die together, please don't have two hearts!"
This is also what Wu Xin is worried about, although Zhou Yi understands her thoughts, but he was born in a family of enemies with her, he said sincerely at this time, because he is in the situation of being slaughtered, the situation will change in the future, can he still regard himself as a person on the same front? I am afraid that it may not be, thinking of this, Wu Xin is sad.
