Wan Qian watched in surprise as his saber passed through Wan Zhongkun's body, and the hand holding the sword was still trembling slightly.

"Why!" a painful look overflowed on Wan Qian's face.

"You can't do it, I'll help you!" The masked man snorted coldly and looked at Wan Qian kneeling beside Wan Zhongkun lightly.

Just when Wan Zhongkun persuaded Wan Qian, the masked man flashed behind Wan Zhongkun and sent Wan Zhongkun to Wan Qian's sword with one palm.

"Qian-Qian'er-" Wan Zhongkun held the sword inserted into his body, his eyes full of despair. "Yes-it's Master, I'm sorry for you, you-don't blame--Blame Jian Chen-"

"Master!" Wan Qian saw that Wan Zhongkun's life was on the verge of dying, but he was still thinking about Jian Chen, and he couldn't help but feel in his heart.

"Don't—don't—go wrong again—" tilted his head, and Wan Zhongkun was silent.

"Don't want mother-in-law, mother-in-law!" the masked man stepped forward and lifted Wan Qian away.

Wan Qian was thrown into the corner by the masked man, his eyes blank, just staring blankly at the window lattice.

Pulling the sword out of Wan Zhongkun's body, the masked man frowned.

With the exertion of his subordinates, a tiny tip of the sword broke in response, and quickly stuffed the tip of the sword into Wan Zhongkun's mouth, and the masked man stood up and threw the sword back to Wan Qian.

"Take care of the aftermath!" Standing in front of Wan Qian, who had lost his god, the masked man's eyebrows frowned.

Bending down and approaching in front of Wan Qian, the masked man's words suddenly became extremely cold, "Remember, Jian Chen's life experience must not be leaked, otherwise-" His eyes walked downstream, and the masked man snorted coldly, "Don't forget the worms in your stomach!"

A masked man tiptoed open the door and leaped out.

Wan Qian shuddered, his expression turned around, he looked at Wan Zhongkun who was not far away in a daze, and his eyes gradually returned to brilliance.

Carefully wiping the saber in his hand, Wan Qian walked outside the door and shouted, "Catch the assassin!"

In Sanping Town, at the border, Shen Zheng was ordering the soldiers to recuperate and repair the city gate.

The last battle with Tart Xue, although it ended with Tart Xue retreating, Shen Zheng's deployment also suffered heavy casualties.

What made Shen Zheng even more annoying was that after the end of the war, the people of Sanping Town had an extra name in their mouths.

Jian Chen.

After Tart Xue retreated, the people who were rescued by Chen Jian went to Shen Zheng, hoping to see Chen Jian, but were told that Chen Jian had died on the battlefield and there were no bones.

The people were shocked when they heard the news, and they originally wanted to thank Jian Chen for saving his life, but now they have no chance, and they can't even see the last one.

The sad people left Shen Zheng's barracks, held a funeral for Chen Jian according to local customs, and buried an empty coffin at the foot of the mountain.

On the day of the funeral, almost the entire people of Sanping Town came to the funeral, as well as people from the death row, but Chen Zhongliang was the only one to be seen.

Shen was patrolling the city, came to the top of the city tower, and saw Chen Zhongliang staring blankly in the direction of tart snow.

Shen Zheng knew what Chen Zhongliang was looking at, he sighed and walked over to him.

"He must still be alive!" Chen Zhongliang saw Shen Zheng coming up, and slowly opened his mouth.

"You're wrong. Shen Zheng frowned, "I hope he is dead, if he doesn't die, he is in the hands of Yelufu, it is estimated that it is better to die." ”

Chen Zhongliang was stunned and turned his head to look at Shen Zheng in astonishment.

On the battlefield, he saw with his own eyes that Chen Jian was seriously injured, and he desperately destroyed Yelufu's fire dragon car with his last breath, although he knew that he was more than lucky, but there was always a hope in his heart that he could survive.

Now that he heard Shen Zheng say so lightly that Jian Chen was dead, his heart was very uncomfortable.

Although Shen Zheng's words are also reasonable, but after all, it is a human life, especially the person who sacrificed himself to save hundreds of people, even if it falls into the hands of Yelufu, Chen Zhongliang still hopes that he can live, and there is always a glimmer of hope in life.

In fact, except for Chen Zhongliang, after this battle, many soldiers and people looked at Shen Zheng with a trace of unusualness.

Although Shen Zheng's decision not to save the people at the beginning could not be said to be wrong, everyone had a complaint about Shen Zheng's behavior of blindly taking into account the overall situation and despising human life. Many people are still haunted by Shen Zheng's original order to shoot the people.

The people in the death row camp didn't have a good impression of Shen Zheng in the first place, but since they learned of Chen Jian's death, they obviously showed a rebellious mentality.

In order to prevent the situation from escalating, Chen Zhongliang took the initiative to ask Shen Zheng for instructions to take the death row back to his original station.

Shen Zheng knew that everyone had a lot of dissatisfaction with him, but at this moment, if the people in the death row camp left, it would cause more gossip, so he rejected Chen Zhongliang on the grounds that he had lost his troops and was in urgent need of troops.

Chen Zhong's conscience was already determined, and he just replied to Shen Zheng.

As soon as the reinforcements from the imperial court arrived, they returned to their stations.

Time passed quickly, and the additional troops sent by the imperial court also arrived at Shen Zheng's military camp, along with Lu Qingsong and Shangguan Yunrui.

Shen Zheng met the two in his residence.

Lu Qingsong said, "General Shen, long time no see." ”

Shen Zheng hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Lord Lu, you and I don't need to be so formalistic when we meet again after a long absence. ”

Shangguan Yunrui is most annoyed by this kind of red tape in the officialdom, if he hadn't known that Jian Chen would not go back with him if he didn't see Lu Qingsong, he would have come here alone.

Along the way, although he knew that Lu Qingsong had been hurrying slowly, he still couldn't adapt to their way of being a literati.

has been holding back the anxiety in his stomach, and now that he finally saw Shen Zheng, Lu Qingsong is still so civil, which makes Shangguan Yunrui angry. "Okay, you two don't do this anymore, you come and I shush and ask for warmth, I can hear my hair! General Shen, this time, we have brought the emperor's will, hurry up and call Chen Jian out, we will take him back. ”

"Shangguan Alliance Master, don't worry!" Lu Qingsong saw that Shangguan Yunrui was so unreasonable, knowing that he was from the rivers and lakes, and he didn't pay attention to these things, so he comforted him with good words.

Since Shangguan Yunrui's last visit, Shen Zheng knew that his relationship with Chen Jian was not ordinary, and now when he heard Lu Qingsong call him the leader of the alliance, he was a little suspicious in his heart.

"This is Shangguan Yunrui, the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, who has some personal relations with Chen Huwei, so he came with us this time. Seeing Shen Zheng hesitating, Lu Qingsong hurriedly explained.

"Martial Arts Alliance Leader?" Shen Zheng was surprised, this Jian Chen actually had something to do with the Martial Arts Alliance Leader?

In fact, for Shangguan Yunrui's peers, Lu Qingsong was also a little surprised.

The relationship between Shangguan Yunrui and Jian Chen is not ordinary, and he has known him a little for so many days, but for the sake of Jian Chen, the dignified martial arts alliance leader actually came to the border with him, and he was still a little surprised.

Although he didn't know the real relationship between Shangguan Yunrui and Chen Jian, Lu Qingsong at least knew that they were friends and not enemies, so he didn't refuse.

"General Shen, where is Jian Chen, call him out quickly. Shangguan Yunrui looked very impatient.

"This—" Shen Zheng hesitated.

Lu Qingsong saw that Shen Zheng was hesitant, and hurriedly explained, "Chen Jian's murder that day now has a new witness, and the government wants to take him back to retry the case, hoping that the general can make it convenient." ”

Shen Zheng looked at Lu Qingsong, his face was a little embarrassed.

Shangguan Yunrui had already noticed Shen Zheng's unusualness, he stepped forward and grabbed Shen Zheng's collar with one hand, "You are pushing and hindering, did you do something to Jian Chen!"

Zhang Chao, who was beside Shen Zheng, saw that Shangguan Yunrui was unreasonable to Shen Zheng, so he hurriedly guarded, "Hugh is rude!"

Shen Zheng waved his hand and motioned for Zhang Chao to step down, he glanced at Shangguan Yunrui lightly, and said slowly, "You guys are late, a few days ago in the battle with Tart Xue, Jian Chen has already died on the battlefield!"

"What are you talking about!" Shangguan Yunrui was a spirit.

How could it be possible?

Chen Jian was already seriously injured at that time, and he was forced to fight against Yelufu's army, and finally died of anger. Shen Zheng looked at Shangguan Yunrui, whose face was uncertain, and tried his best not to fluctuate in his tone.

"Qi-absolute-body-death?how could it be?" When Lu Qingsong heard the news of Jian Chen's death, his whole person suddenly dimmed.

"He won't die!" Shangguan Yunrui's expression suddenly became extremely firm, "You must have done something to him, using this reason to prevaricate me!"

"Chen Jian's death in battle was seen by all soldiers, I definitely didn't lie to you!" Shen Zheng saw that Shangguan Yunrui did not accept Chen Jian's death, and knew that the relationship between the two was not simple.

"What about Guardian Chen's body? Lu Qingsong's tone trembled slightly.

How is it possible, I came all the way to pick you up and atone for your sins, how can you?

"At that time, there was a sea of fire on the battlefield, and the corpses of many soldiers had been burned, and Chen Jian's was also-"

If the matter of Jian Chen being taken away by Yelufu leaked out, it would only cause more trouble. He was criticized by everyone for not saving the people last time, and if they knew that they saw Chen Jian being taken away by Yelufu and concealed the truth, it would cause more doubts, so Shen Zheng decided to hide it.

I don't believe that Jian Chen is dead. I want to see people in life, and I want to see corpses in death! Even if he rots and turns to ashes, I will take him back. Shangguan Yunrui's tone was solemn.

"You don't have to embarrass General Shen. Chen Jian is the hero of our Sanping Town, and we also sent troops to look for his body, but there were countless dead and wounded on the battlefield, the corpses piled up, and they were burned by fire, so we couldn't find Chen Jian's body for a long time. That's why he was finally buried in an empty coffin. Zhang Chao saw that Shangguan Yunrui was aggressive towards Shen Zheng and came out to clarify.

"Where is his grave? Lu Qingsong suddenly became very calm, and there was no flickering in his eyes.

"I'll take you there!" Outside the door, Chen Zhongliang strode in.

Shen Zheng frowned, "General Ben is a guest, what are you doing here?" Shen Zheng was very unhappy with Chen Zhongliang's sudden appearance.

"Jian Chen is a person from our death row camp, and if we have friends to mourn him, we naturally want to accompany him. Besides, it would be better for us to do such a trivial task by the military. Chen Zhongliang looked at Lu Qingsong and Shangguan Yunrui with complicated expressions.

Shen Zheng saw that Chen Zhongliang didn't look at him, and he was still worried about Chen Jian's affairs. "Since Vice General Chen has a heart, it's good to be accompanied by you, but-"

"Don't worry, general, I won't say a word about what I shouldn't say. Chen Zhongliang knew what Shen Zheng meant.

Shen Zheng was stunned, his face embarrassed.

The expression at this moment had already been looked at by Shangguan Yunrui.

What should not be said? What is the secret between these two people?
