Chapter 25: Piercing the Heart
Guo Mansion, front yard. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The knife stood motionless in the courtyard, looking up at the sky, the moon was about to be full, and the people had not yet arrived.
"Brother Meng, what are you doing here? You have just recovered your strength, you should rest more, you can't stand here blowing the wind, be careful of catching a cold. Miss Guo came over with a pot of tea and a plate of pastries.
"It's not in the way, Guo Meng's master has profound skills, after he opened up the meridians, my internal strength has increased instead of decreasing, and now it is more than ever, don't worry. ”
Miss Guo put the refreshments on the table in the kiosk next to her, and said with a smile, "Then come over and have a cup of tea and eat some pastries, these pastries are very fond of Xue'er, can you try them?"
Knife walked over very obediently, "Oh, you have been taking care of me since last night, and there is no problem with your injuries." ”
Miss Guo tilted her head and asked suspiciously, "What kind of injury do I have?"
"That night I saw a fingerprint on your right shoulder... Xiaodao stopped suddenly halfway through his words, and saw Miss Guo's face slowly flushed, and then remembered all the things that night, felt a little embarrassed, and slowly raised his head to look at the sky in the distance.
"No... It doesn't matter, they all ordered my acupoints, and they didn't get in the way, so they won't have it today. The more Miss Guo spoke, the lower her head became.
The two were embarrassed for a moment, standing motionless.
"Oh, I still have something to discuss with the alliance leader in a moment, so I'd better go over first. The knife took the lead in breaking the embarrassment, and after speaking, he walked out of the pavilion, turned back as soon as he took two steps, picked up a cup of tea and drank it all, "Ahh
"Be careful. Miss Guo cried out worriedly.
The knife was even more embarrassed, grabbed two pieces of pastry and turned away. Miss Guo looked at the sound of the knife and couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile.
Along the way, Xiaodao kept thinking, Miss Guo is interested in herself, her family background is prominent, but she is a killer, is such an identity worthy of the master's family?
The distribution of tasks in the Lanyue Pavilion seems to be arbitrary, but in fact, the rules are strict, and betrayal is never allowed, Wu Qingliang must be appointed by the pavilion master to assist Qixinglou, the position of the organization is already very clear, if I stand on the side of the Guo Mansion, how should I deal with myself in the future?
To like it or not to dislike? To help or not to help, to kill or not to kill? It seems that there are several choices, but in fact there is only one choice, to rebel or not to rebel?
Thinking about it, I walked to the garden of the Guo Mansion, and I asked Tang Tian and Yin Yang to come in from the garden on the west side of the Guo Mansion, so there would be no accidents.
Suddenly, two black shadows passed through the corner of the courtyard, "What man!" the knife shouted lightly, and walked slowly, gradually seeing the outline of the black shadow, one lying on the ground, and the other seemed to kneel beside him.
"Tang Tian, Brother Yin?"
The black shadow standing beside him slowly stood up and walked over.
"You... Is it Ye Zhan?" An unfamiliar face, dressed in dark green brocade, holding a short knife, and his hands were covered with blood.
"You are You Xiaodao?" Ye Zhan said coldly.
"Exactly, who is that?" asked Knife, uneasy.
Ye Zhan immediately turned around, the knife followed, and finally saw clearly, it turned out to be Lu Changkong.
"How could it hurt like this!" asked Knife, surprised.
"You think of the Seven Star Building too simply. Brother Lu, he... Anyway, I've taken care of the dust for him. ”
"Oh!" Xiao Dao didn't expect that the dust had been solved now, and then immediately thought that the various matters arranged before were meaningless, they no longer needed to blame, no longer needed Guo Mansion, so how should their own target Ye Zhan, Lu Changkong, and Wu Qingliang solve it? In that case, there is no need for Guo Mansion, why are you still here?"
"The chasers of the Seven Star Building are just behind, Brother Lu is seriously injured, and I have no other way, I can only come here with him first. ”
Hearing Ye Zhan say this, the knife looked at Lu Changkong carefully, the clothes on his chest were in tatters, the blood in his mouth had dyed his chest bright red, his breath was weak, and he was already in danger.
"There are trees here to shade, and it is not easy for you to hide behind the rockery, so stay here for the time being, and I will find some healing medicine." ”
After a while, Xiaodao came to the meeting hall of Guo's mansion, and walked around Guo's mansion a few times today, and he was already very familiar with the structure of Guo's mansion, so he walked there without difficulty.
Guo Zhengyang, Steward Zhou and Mr. Zhang were all in the conference hall, and when they saw the knife coming over, Guo Zhengyang said happily:
"We're waiting for you, Meng Shaoxia. ”
"Master Guo Meng! My friends have arrived, and I don't know if I can borrow some healing things. "Time was pressing, and Knife had to speak out.
"Oh!" Guo Zhengyang asked with great concern, "What kind of injury is it?"
"It's like being hit in the chest!"
"Steward Zhou, you go to the pharmacy to get some medicine. Guo Zhengyang immediately commanded.
"Yes!" Steward Zhou immediately walked out of the hall and turned to the pharmacy to get medicine.
Guo Zhengyang turned to the knife again and asked with great concern, "Where are they now?"
Xiaodao didn't expect Guo Zhengyang to help him so much, "They are now taking refuge in the garden on the west side, and their injuries are too serious to come with me." ”
"That... Guo Zhengyang wanted to speak and stopped.
"I'll take care of them there. ”
"It's fine. ”
After a while, Steward Zhou returned to the hall, pointed to the medicine in his hand and said, "This bottle is Jiuyun Shu Bone Ointment, which can be soothed on the wound and disperse blood stasis, relieve pain and stop bleeding." This bottle is Moyun Dan, the holy medicine of Yunge Gate, which can be taken internally to strengthen the blood and protect the heart. ”
"Thank you to Master Guo, thank you Steward Zhou, then I'll go and treat my friend first. After the knife finished speaking, he immediately went out and turned to the West Garden.
"Hehehe, why is the alliance leader doing this?" Mr. Zhang said, sitting on the side, brushing his beard.
"Hahaha, why should Mr. Zhang ask knowingly?" Guo Zhengyang picked up the tea bowl on the table, and said as he plucked the tea in the bowl with the tea lid.
"This You Xiaodao is very clever, and his martial arts talent is high, not to mention that Miss is right to him... Hehehe, the alliance leader wants to take it for his own use. It's just that he is the killer of Lanyue Pavilion, how can he convince himself, it is not easy to leave the place where he was taught to raise him since he was a child. ”
"Lanyue Pavilion was originally a bloodthirsty and ruthless place, but he just hadn't encountered his ruthlessness yet. ”
The knife trotted all the way, and after a while, he returned to the West Garden, Ye Zhan was healing Lu Changkong's work, and when he saw the knife coming back, he slowly flattened Lu Changkong.
As Steward Zhou said just now, the knife will apply two bottles of medicine one externally and one internally. Lu Changkong's breath immediately improved, and the blood vessels in his chest no longer bloomed, slowly converging into a fist-sized red mark.
"It's a miracle. Ye Zhan exclaimed.
Xiaodao was naturally relieved to see Lu Changkong's injuries improve, but what made him dilemma was what to do now. Ye Zhan and Lu Changkong are right in front of them, and they must be able to attack them unprepared at this time, but... But why would I hesitate.
Ye Zhan saw that Lu Changkong's injuries had improved, and let go of the worries in his heart, "Today's night attack is indeed dangerous, if I hadn't seen Brother Lu under siege and in danger, I wouldn't have made a rash move and ruined your plan." ”
Xiaodao looked at Ye Zhan and did not speak.
"Brother Lu and I have known each other since childhood, and we entered the Lanyue Pavilion with the old pavilion master for a bite of food, and for so many years, hey, I have never been injured so badly. ”
Xiao Dao finally made up his mind, pursed his lips, and took a deep breath, "Then have you ever thought about leaving Lanyue Pavilion?"
Ye Zhan looked at the knife in astonishment, he had never considered this matter, although in recent years, the new pavilion master has been cleaning up the remaining killers of the old pavilion master in order to eliminate dissidents, but he is only Mingzhe to protect himself, and he does not reveal himself so much. Is it reluctance, is it a habit, or something else, if you leave here, where can you go?
"You know, we're not here to help you. Xiao Dao plucked up the courage to tell the biggest secret of this trip, he didn't know what Ye Zhan would think after hearing it, he didn't know what to do after that, he just thought that if they disappeared, the result should be the same.
"What!" Ye Zhan grabbed the short knife on the ground, but seeing that the knife had no intention of attacking them, his hand loosened again.
"We are not here to help you, but to kill you, it is the order of the Pavilion Master. ”
"Huh... Hehe, it's our turn in the end, I should know, sooner or later, there will be such a day. You told me such a big secret, why don't you do it yet?" Ye Zhan lowered his head and raised it again, looking at the knife.
Yes, why? I don't want to kill Ye Zhan, I don't want to kill Lu Changkong, but for Wu Qingliang, I don't have this idea, I'm bent on how to let him die.
Because I used to stand on the same front, if I had stood on the same front with Wu Qingliang, would I not be able to bear to do it now?
Because they are affectionate people, affectionate and righteous? I can take people's lives without asking the reason for just one order of the organization? We are killers, doesn't that sound like a joke?
"I don't know, I don't know, if you disappear into the rivers and lakes from now on, it should be the same. ”
"If we don't want to disappear, but return to the main altar tomorrow, are you going to do it?" Ye Zhan saw that the knife was completely stunned, and he understood, "I think you should also understand, you are hesitating day and night, and you can figure out your own way forward." Anyway, I don't want to die yet, I think Brother Lu is the same, what arrangements do you have?"
"I can beg the Lord of the Guo League to take you in the Guo Mansion, and after you recover from your injuries, you will decide how to escape the world, but since tonight, you have already died. Isn't that good?"
Xiao Dao felt very tired after repeated battles, and he saw that Lu Changkong's injuries had improved, and led them to his residence.
After settling Ye Zhan and Lu Changkong, Xiaodao went to the meeting hall of the Guo Mansion again.
