As if he had seen a ghost vision, Chen Zongyuan hesitated for a moment, shook his head and slowly retreated, getting farther and farther away from Wang Ce, and muttered: "It's you? Impossible! You are still reading the eulogy, why do you call yourself a murderer at this time?"

When Wang Ce said the word "it's me", even Ye Cheng and the others were shocked, although Ye Cheng and Zhong Qing had long suspected that Wang Ce must be inseparable from this, but they thought that it was Chen Zuyi who he killed, and what he didn't expect was that he actually confessed himself.

"You didn't hear it wrong, and I didn't say it wrong, I killed the owner of Island Chen. Wang Ce was still very calm, as if he was narrating the actions of others.

"That'...... Then why do you want to be like this? My father treats you well, is it because of your father?" Chen Zongyuan asked sharply.

Wang Ce smiled and said: "My father Wang Daoming was originally the owner of Sanfo Island, and it was indeed because Chen Zuyi came to the island to forcibly take the battle, and my father was defeated and died, but if you believe that this is the reason why I killed him, then you are very wrong." ”

"Okay, then what is the reason?" asked Chen Zongyuan in a sad voice.

"To save you. ”

"To save me?" Chen Zongyuan obviously couldn't believe the words he heard with his ears.

But Wang Ce looked serious, obviously not joking with him.

"Yes, it is to save you, and it is also to save our Cangming City, as well as the names of thousands of people on Sanfo Island. Wang Ce said in a firm voice.

As soon as these words came out, even Ye Cheng couldn't understand why he killed Chen Zuyi to save his son, and why did he say that he was saving the people of the whole island?

Wang Ce seemed to read the puzzled look in the eyes of Ye Cheng and the others, and saw him continue in a loud voice: "Since the distinguished guests in the court are also here, then I will simply tell the truth and the truth. ”

"Okay, you say!" Chen Zongyuan said hatefully.

Wang Ce glanced at Chen Zongyuan and said slowly: "You only know that your father sent you to greet the imperial court envoys, do you know how he arranged it after you left?"

Chen Zongyuan didn't speak, because he knew that Wang Ce would answer the question he asked.

Sure enough, I saw Wang Ce continue: "After you left, your father convened the leaders to discuss and plan to kill the imperial court envoys, because in his opinion, the imperial court would not suddenly send a fleet for no reason, let alone more than 20,000 people. ”

Ye Cheng, Zhong Qing, Huo Ran, Ji Tianming, Hu Sanxiao and Hua Niang listened quietly.

"You also know that the leaders of the group under the owner of the island Chen are just some villains in the drill camp, and they are used to flattery. But Wang couldn't stand by and stay out of the matter. So Wang Mou told the owner of the island, first, the court people came to the name, rash action may only be counterproductive, second, Chen Gongzi to greet the people in the court, must be mixed with it, if the use of the mechanism ambush, must be burned jade, endangering the safety of the son, the three even if we attack successfully, the court of more than 20,000 tigers and wolves stationed troops around the island, after learning the situation, they all landed on the island, although the city of Cangming is high and deep, but where can resist the mighty Ming army?" Wang Ce said eloquently.

Chen Zongyuan listened and said, "That's why you killed him?"

Wang Ce sighed: "On an island, the island owner is the largest, but if the island owner has an order, we should not dare to disobey." But the owner of the island was already a ghost at that time, and even explained the purpose of using you as bait, and wanted to sacrifice your life to complete his plan at that time. There is a saying that tigers are poisonous and do not eat children, but I didn't expect Chen Zuyi to be more vicious than tigers. I grew up watching you grow up, and naturally I couldn't bear to listen to your father's orders, and I never thought that he would swing his sword at me in spite of his brotherly affection. ”

My father loves me the most in his daily life, so how can he do this? You must be here to talk nonsense and turn black and white upside down. Chen Zongyuan did not believe what Wang Ce said.

"Okay, then what do you see what this is?" Wang Ce said as he took off his linen shirt and turned it up, revealing a deep and long wound on his shoulder, although the wound was no longer bleeding at the moment, it could still be concluded that it was caused by a new injury.

"If I hadn't been prepared, this sword would have been enough to cut off half of my shoulder. In desperation, I had to resist, and the rest is what you see now. Wang Ce said.

Although Chen Zongyuan is smart and clever, he is a child after all, and when he suddenly encountered such an accident, he had no idea for a while, he only felt dizzy and unstable.

Seeing this, Wang Ce further said: "I have a friendship with your father, how can I bear to deliberately harm his life, but it is a pity that he was deceived by those young people around him, and went crazy for the sake of power, and even did not let go of his own children, so I had no choice but to make this decision." ”

Ye Chengshi had been listening, and couldn't help but interject at this moment: "If it is really as Brother Wang Ce said, it is true that it has not only saved the life of this elder brother of the sect, but also helped the imperial court, but there is no basis for empty words, how can I believe that Chen Dao Lord really has opposing intentions?"

"I can prove it. ”

At this time, suddenly a woman's voice came into the house, Ye Cheng and the others hurriedly turned to look, but saw a woman about thirty years old dressed in linen and filial piety, with a delicate face, standing pitifully at the door.

"Sister-in-law, why are you here?" Wang Ce hurriedly went over to help.

"Third uncle, you don't have to be polite, I have heard what happened at the door just now, since the officials of the court don't believe it, then please let me, the surviving person, say a few words. The woman stepped over the threshold and walked in.

"May I ask Brother Wang Ce, who is this?" Ye Cheng asked puzzled.

Without waiting for Wang Ce's introduction, the woman said by herself: "The concubine is Liu Huai'e, the fourth lady of the lord of Chen, and I was also on the side of the scene at that time, so I witnessed it with my own eyes." Although Zong Yuan was not born to me, he has always regarded it as his own, and the third uncle's actions at that time were indeed out of helplessness, but also to protect Zong Yuan and save the people of this island. ”

"Siniang, Lian ...... Even you say that?" Chen Zongyuan couldn't believe what he was hearing, and sat down on the chair.

"Since the incident has happened, I don't know what follow-up arrangements General Wang has?" Huo Ran suddenly asked on the side.

Wang Ce said with a gloomy expression: "The Si people are deceased, and the owner of the island has worked hard for Sanfo Island when he was alive, and now he must be done according to the solemn ceremony." As for the fact that although the lord is forced to kill the lord in the next place, when the matter is over, he will definitely come to Beijing with the envoys of the previous dynasty, and let the merits and demerits go down, even if he wants my Wang Ce's life, he will never complain. ”

After hearing this, Huo Ran turned his head and looked at Ye Cheng, wanting to ask for his opinion, Ye Cheng was also a teenager after all, and he was also confused at this time. Originally, there was no eyebrow for the rescue of children, but now that the owner of the island died suddenly, he didn't know what to do for a while.

Zhong Qing found that Ye Cheng's brows were frowning slightly, and guessed that he was also hesitant at this time, so he hurriedly walked over and said: "I waited for a long time, and in order to rush to this Cangming City, I am already a little tired, so it is better to follow General Wang's wishes, you deal with the aftermath first, and we can rest for a while." ”

Wang Ce nodded, and instructed his subordinates to arrange Ye Cheng and others to rest everywhere, but Chen Zongyuan refused to live or die, no matter how Wang Ce and Liu Huai'e persuaded him, he insisted on guarding Chen Zuyi's spirit in front of the hall. The two had no choice but to agree, and after arranging a few words to their subordinates, they left first.

In the midst of mourning, the day seemed to pass very long, but the night finally came like a late visitor.

At this time, Ying Bao Hall was like a baby who had been crying for a day and fell asleep because of fatigue, and fell into a deep silence. Only the occasional warm breeze and the candles flickering in the front yard of the church were bright and dark, and the shadows of the trees were short and long.

Ye Cheng couldn't sleep, pushed open the door and paced in the courtyard, thinking of what had happened in the past few months, Master Lu Li and Dai Sigong had no news, Youling's whereabouts were unknown, and even those kidnapped children did not know where they were now. Although I was looking forward to arriving at Sanfo Island as soon as possible to solve the mystery, but now even if I am in this vicissitudes of the city, things are not only making no progress, but becoming more complicated and confusing.

"Brother Ye, are you thinking about something?" Suddenly, a woman's voice came.

Ye Cheng looked back and saw that Love was slowly walking towards him. Ye Cheng smiled slightly, I don't know when it started, as long as he saw Zhong Qing, no matter how troubled he was, it would disappear immediately.

"Qing'er, how do you know I'm here?" Ye Cheng asked.

"Of course I know, after all this time, you still treat me as an outsider. Zhong Qing pursed her lips with a look of displeasure.

"Why did Qing'er say this, when did I treat you as an outsider?" Ye Cheng hurriedly argued.

Zhong Qing said: "Well, if you don't treat me as an outsider, how can you run out alone in the middle of the night to think nonsense, but avoid me and don't let me know at all?"

Ye Cheng smiled bitterly: "Qing'er, don't misunderstand, I didn't mean to hide it from you, but encountering such a problem is enough to make my head swell, and I don't want to involve you anymore." Besides, I've been very sorry to let you follow me for a long time these days. ”

"You see, you still said that you didn't treat me as an outsider, if you really have me in your heart, you shouldn't say that, isn't the reason why close people are intimate is because they can share the troubles and secrets in their hearts, comfort and encourage each other?" Zhong Qing said seriously.

Ye Cheng couldn't help but be moved in his heart, these days, there was indeed a contradiction in his heart, he didn't know how to face Zhong Qing, because since Huo Ran told some life experiences that he didn't know, the originally established life had taken a turn, and even he couldn't say the good fortune and evil fortune in it, and he didn't want Zhong Qing to be dragged down because of this.

"Qing'er, you're so nice......" Ye Cheng couldn't help but hold Zhong Qing's hand, not knowing what to say.

Zhong Qing sneered when she heard this, and the serious expression on her face disappeared: "After holding back for so long, you can say such a sentence, don't you usually read poetry? Why are you so clumsy now?"

Ye Cheng also laughed when he heard this: "Yes, why do you think I'm so stupid, don't I live up to this bright moon in the sky?"

"The bright moon shines on the tall buildings, and the streamer is hovering. There are sorrowful women, lamenting and mourning. Brother Ye, you must not make me that sorrowful woman. Zhong Qing said.

Ye Cheng laughed and said: "How old are you, how can you have so much sorrow? Besides, even if you have sorrows, then I will accept it completely, how can I let you bear half a point?"

Zhong Qing nodded and said, "Brother Ye, do you remember that when we were on the boat, we looked forward to one day finding an island immortal mountain to spend the rest of our lives with?" But now you look at Sanfo Island, although it is an island, people are also panicked and cannot be quiet, do you say that the immortal mountain in our hearts will really exist?"

Ye Cheng took Zhong Qing into his arms and comforted him warmly: "There will be, I believe I will definitely find it for you." ”

"Not for me, it's for us. Zhong Qing continued.
