Chapter 42: Memories 2
The candles flickered, and the intertwined figures of two men were reflected in the window, making a murmuring sound. Gai Nie turned his back to the door, standing at the door, the unbearable sound came into Gai Nie's ears without any hindrance, Gai Nie didn't want to listen to this sound, but he felt that his hearing was extremely sensitive at the moment, Ying Zheng and the purple-clothed man's voices were extremely clear, and even their whispering to each other was heard clearly by Gai Nie. Gai Nie stood outside the door in agony, so embarrassed that he didn't know where to put his eyes, and everyone downstairs was disheveled, and they were full of wine. And the scene on the second floor is also like the first floor, in the end, Gai Nie chose to stare at the ceiling, the ceiling of the South Wind Pavilion is carved with a fine pattern, the pattern is very small, if you don't look at it deliberately, you can't find it, Gai Nie carefully stared at the pattern of the ceiling for a long time, and then he saw that it was a blue bird pattern carved there.
Legend has it that the blue bird is the messenger of love between couples who are far away, and this Nanfeng Pavilion is also a special intention to decorate the ceiling. Gai Nie looked up at the blue bird pattern, and he felt as if he had broken away from this misty place, and his heart was quiet. The figure of a person gradually appeared in my mind, the figure was vague, hidden deep in the darkness, and I could only feel that he was probably a person with white sideburns.
At the same time, the light behind the door was extinguished at some point, and a blade flashed, and Gai Nie felt that something was wrong, and immediately put away all his thoughts, turned around and kicked the door open.
The scene inside the door was messy, the things on the table were scattered, and I don't know when, there was an oil pot the size of a human face.
The man in purple was still wearing a thin veil and stood in front of Ying Zheng, but he was holding a short sword, the blade was against Ying Zheng's throat at the moment, and it had already pierced slightly, and the blade cut through Ying Zheng's skin, and a burst of warm blood flowed down.
"Who the hell are you?" Ying Zheng asked sharply, as he spoke, the muscles in his neck stirred the blade of the sword, tearing even more.
"It doesn't matter who I am, just know that today you will die by my sword. As he spoke, the purple-clothed man's hand stepped forward.
In just a moment, the man in purple stumbled forward and fell to the ground, as if something had fallen to the ground from the eyes of the man in purple, making a dull sound, and a burst of warm blood splashed everywhere.
When the man in purple came back to his senses, he realized that there was a blurred flesh and blood on the ground, and after careful identification, he recognized that it was his hand holding a short sword.
The man in purple opened his mouth wide in disbelief, he lay on the ground, his eyes moved to the direction of his wrist, and sure enough, the wrist of his right hand became blurred, and blood was still flowing out.
A pair of feet appeared in front of the purple-clothed man, accompanied by Ying Zheng's gloomy voice: "Tonight's new tricks are beyond my expectations." ”
The man in purple looked up viciously at Ying Zheng, and then saw that Ying Zheng was also staring at himself viciously at the moment, and his expression was really like he was going to eat himself.
Ying Zheng bent down and wanted to remove the tulle from the purple-clothed man's face with his hands, but unexpectedly, at the moment when Ying Zheng was about to touch the tulle, several silver needles flew out of the tulle and were about to stab Ying Zheng's body, but fortunately, Gai Nie immediately blocked it with a sword.
The two chances to assassinate Ying Zheng were ruined by Gai Nie, the man in purple was angry, Ying Zheng pulled the man in purple by the collar, lifted him up from the ground, stared at the man in purple fiercely, and then said, "Say, who sent you?"
The man in purple clenched his teeth, and the contact between the two empty red facets on his wrist and the air sent a hot stinging sensation, and a little sweat oozed from the forehead of the man in purple, but he still didn't say a word, not even a sound.
"It's a tight mouth. Seeing that the man in purple didn't say a word, Ying Zheng stared at the man in purple with some pity, he gently brushed the cheek of the man in purple with his hand, and said slowly: "If you tell the person who instructed you behind your back, I will let you live, and I will never break my word." ”
"Hmph, don't think about it!" The man in purple still gritted his teeth, the purple tulle was stained with sweat, and some of it adhered to the skin, because of this, Ying Zheng and Gai Nie both saw that under the tulle, there should be something like a tattoo on the side of the man's cheek.
Ying Zheng smiled proudly: "The one who can help you open this South Wind Pavilion in Xianyang City must be a powerful country, right?"
The man in purple was silent.
"Say, is it the State of Chu or the State of Qi? Could it be the State of Zhao?" Ying Zheng picked up the short sword that fell to the ground at this time, put it in his hand and played with it gently, and then he used the tip of the short sword to pick a corner, wanting to uncover the tulle in front of the man in purple, but he didn't expect that at this time, the man in purple seemed to be crazy, and suddenly had infinite divine power, he got rid of the shackles of Gai Nie and Ying Zheng, and rushed to the oil pot as big as a basin, and wanted to plunge into it to ruin his appearance, it seems that the tattoo on his cheek should symbolize a certain organization.
Ying Zheng didn't stop the action, Gai Nie's eyes were quick, and he kicked over the hot oil that was tumbling, which completely eliminated the purple-clothed man's desire to self-destruct, but unexpectedly, the hot oil splashed and burned Gai Nie's arm.
Splashed by the hot oil, Gai Nie didn't say a word, and the man in purple almost collapsed, and the last hand he left for himself was also destroyed by Gai Nie, and the angry man in purple finally released a few poisonous needles, and there was nothing else to do.
In the end, the man in purple was covered with live fowl and learned of Qi's plan under severe torture.
Because of this incident, Gai Nie has become extraordinarily tall in Yingzheng's impression, and there is a dull and cute feeling. Perhaps it was from that time that Ying Zheng had some feelings for Gai Nie.
And Gai Nie, who is more nervous about the relationship between men and men, so every day after he comes home from work, he will tell Xiaozhuang some interesting things about the Xianyang Palace during the day, including Yingzheng and his gradually abnormal behavior.
Over time, every time Xiao Zhuang heard the word 'Ying Zheng' appear in Gai Nie's mouth, he would feel particularly harsh, so that later his hatred for Ying Zheng became stronger and stronger, and even the hatred of the previous death was entangled, and all of them became hatred for Ying Zheng.
On that day, Gai Nie just went home from work to pack his luggage, Xiao Zhuang asked Gai Nie where he was going, and Gai Nie said that he was going to accompany Yingzheng on a business trip, and he would go for about a year and a half, so that Xiao Zhuang didn't have to worry about himself.
After listening to Gai Nie's answer, Xiao Zhuang felt that Ying Zheng really had bad intentions, he should have some intentions against Gai Nie, and he was already ready to take down Gai Nie in one fell swoop.
After Xiao Zhuang asked about the time of Gai Nie's business trip, he locked Gai Nie in the house and went to Xianyang Palace alone.
It is very easy to find someone in the huge Xianyang Palace, tens of thousands of people in the Xianyang Palace are constantly busy, and there are people everywhere, but it is still a little difficult to find Yingzheng from it, Xiaozhuang remembered that Gai Nie once said that Yingzheng's daily life is nothing more than going to a certain palace to deal with official business in a certain period of time.
Xiao Zhuang relied on Gai Nie's language description, checking one hall by one, the role of Ying Zheng should be very easy to identify, plus Gai Nie once showed Xiao Zhuang a photo of Ying Zheng, so it became easier to find Ying Zheng.
After tossing and turning several halls, Xiaozhuang finally found Yingzheng's figure in a deep hall with an open door, but there were too many guards around, and he had to wait for the opportunity to go in. And this Ying Zheng didn't know why, but let the people around him fade, Ying Zheng seemed to know that someone was coming to him, Xiao Zhuang smiled contentedly. After he saw Ying Zheng's guards and even Zhao Gao leave, he walked into Ying Zheng's palace.
Ying Zheng was flipping through the books at the moment, as if he was distressed about the truth, and when he heard Xiao Zhuang's footsteps, Ying Zheng lowered his head and continued to look at the book, and asked softly: "Who are you?"
Xiao Zhuang didn't like beating around the bush the most, he raised his eyebrows, and said bluntly: "My name is Wei Zhuang." ”
"Wei Zhuang?" Ying Zheng pondered the name in his mind. After thinking about it for a long time, he still didn't feel that he hadn't heard of this name, and Ying Zheng also said frankly: "I haven't heard of it." ”
Xiao Zhuang thought that he was a famous person, after all, he was born in the Ghost Valley, and he was also a more famous sect among the hundred sons, but Ying Zheng's answer disappointed Xiao Zhuang, Xiao Zhuang stared at Ying Zheng in disbelief, and there was a bit of panic in his heart, Xiao Zhuang asked in disbelief: "You don't even know who I am?"
"Why do I know the names of the rats? Ying Zheng was still busy with his own affairs, but after raising his eyes and glancing at Xiao Zhuang, he buried his head again in reading the book in his hand.
"Rats?" Xiao Zhuang was so angry when he heard Ying Zheng's evaluation of himself that he was so angry that Xiao Zhuang laughed loudly: "Hahaha, what a rat." Saying that, Xiao Zhuang flashed in front of Ying Zheng, he held a shark tooth sword, against Ying Zheng's lumbar vertebrae, as long as a little force, Ying Zheng will be killed by the sword, Xiao Zhuang said in a threatening tone: "As everyone knows, Your Majesty will be beheaded under the sword of my rat today." ”
Without the protection of the guards, in this crisis situation, Ying Zheng did not feel afraid, only to see Ying Zheng put the book in his hand back to the vacant position on the shelf, and then took another book full of thick dust from the bookcase, looked at it, and said in a somewhat coping tone: "So, do you have a name for this rat?"
"Hmph. Xiao Zhuang smiled bitterly: "The world only knows the Guigu faction's Zongjia Gainie, but no one knows the Guigu faction's Hengjia Weizhuang." ”
Hearing Wei Zhuang say this, Ying Zheng felt a little interested, he closed the book in his hand again, stared at Xiao Zhuang with interest, looked up and down, and then said: "So, you are also a teacher from the Guigu faction?"
