Morbid pet

Lingmen apparently forgot his duty to be loyal to his emperor.

This is undeniable, but what made him do such a thing?
Chang Le was very curious, and she was one of the people in this vortex, so she had to be cautious in her words and deeds. She secretly went to the dungeon in Jiangnan with Xie Zhao on her back again, preparing to find out what happened to Lingmen. That's all.

dungeon.

Ling Men was still lying on the cramped stone platform with his legs propped up. He looked melancholy and hesitant, but kept his mouth tightly closed. According to the prisoner, he hadn't eaten anything in the past two days and almost only drank. Saliva to maintain basic vital signs.

A beam of light shone down from the iron window above his head, illuminating the darkness and cramped space of the entire cell.

Dust is thick in the air, and the obscure wind stirs up large amounts of dust with the arrival of Chang Le.

Chang Le stood in front of him against the light, with a chaotic calmness and sanctity on her face, as if the golden light had coated her body with layers of gold. She lightly opened her red lips: "Lingmen, tell me, is there any What's the secret? I want to make the decision for you."

Lingmen sat up, he could be said to be sitting upright, with his hands cramped on his dirty knees, revealing a section of his strong bronze forearms. The strength was both brash and forbearing, with traces of blue veins under his skin. After seeing this, Chang Le raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at him, and said doubtfully: "What are you dissatisfied with me about?"

Lingmen's determination and forbearance were all written in his body language. He shook his head and said: "Mother, the guilty minister has no dissatisfaction with you and your Majesty. It is also right for Your Majesty to blame the angry minister. After all, it was not Your Majesty who was the general in Chang'an City. I am taking you on as a staff member, and there is no Lingmen standing in front of you today, so I am very grateful to you." The expression on his face was perfect for a moment, as if a person who has died finally said the most profound words in his life, and also Slowly recalling the past.

Yes.

Lingmen really should thank Xie Zhao.

Changle calmed down and asked again, "You know His Majesty will be angry with you, but you still say that. Who are you trying to protect? Lingmen, to be honest, I really want to protect you for once."

Lingmen glanced at Chang Le with a hint of gratitude, and then quickly turned his head away, the lines on his profile resolute. "Empress, I'm sorry that Lingmen can't talk about it. Please don't ask about the person behind the beauty pill thing. If I have a chance to go out, I will definitely put an end to this disaster with my own hands. But... please let me tell you. I It really can’t be done.”

"Can't do it?"

Chang Le asked with raised eyebrows, and a series of familiar footsteps sounded behind him.

Soon a cold voice rose in the darkness, and Xie Zhao came, "Why does my beloved concubine get up so early?"

Changle looked over subconsciously and found Xie Zhao standing in the shadows, looking at himself and Lingmen with his head tilted, a hint of unhappy arrogance emanating from his eyes.

Changle: "It's not like you think, I suddenly want to ask him when I wake up in the morning. Is there any hidden secret in this matter? If there is any hidden secret, it would be best if I can help a little bit."

Xie Zhao raised his right hand slightly, which was a very domineering movement to interrupt the words. "No need to say more, honey, leave this to me. You can't ask Lingmen."

That's right, of course Changle couldn't ask. Even Xie Zhao couldn't ask. How could Changle ask?
She came here just to give it a try one last time, what if?
As a result, Wan Yi met Xie Zhao.

After all, it is good fortune to trick people.

Xie Zhao doesn't like people cheating on him or doing things behind his back.

None of this was accepted by Xie Zhao.

Furthermore, Xie Zhao was so resentful towards Lingmen, but Changle still wanted to make a comeback for him, which was really inappropriate.

But Changle was also angry in her heart. Why did Xie Zhao never ask herself when making these decisions? In the past, she could understand and not interfere in government affairs and let Xie Zhao do it. However, Lingmen's affairs were already related to her own affairs. Now that the connection is coming, she will no longer sit idly by.

Chang Le's red lips parted slightly, "Xie Zhao, I think we should have a good chat."

Outside, as long as there are outsiders, Changle will always call Xie Zhao his Majesty or Azhao. When he calls his full name, it is really very early, so early that the two of them have almost forgotten the tense feeling at that time. .

Now this sentence of Xie Zhao seems to directly pull people into the strange and familiar scene at that time.

Xie Zhao looked at Chang Le helplessly, knowing that his aunt was angry again. His little arrogance was quickly suppressed by Chang Le's arrogance. Instead, his tone was extremely gentle, "Chu Chu, okay, I’ll talk to you, come here, I’ll take you out.”

He extended his hand to Changle.

Changle didn't respond to him and walked out quickly.

Xie Zhao chased after him.

In the cramped dungeon, only Ling Men was left looking at each other with the iron bars.

There was enough sunshine outside the dungeon, which smoothed away most of the gloom on the two of them, but it was not there yet in their hearts.

Xie Zhao smiled and asked, "Auntie, why are you angry?"

Chang Le turned his head away from looking at him, for fear that looking at his handsome face, the little sparks would be extinguished. It was really embarrassing. He hadn't bumped into Xie Zhao for a long time, and now he still thinks about it. Quite missed.

Chang Le crossed his arms and said, "What do you think? What else could it be because of? I told you about the Lingmen incident, but you didn't listen and insisted on getting the person punished. I'm not rushing here for the execution." Ask again? The beauty pill thing is very important to me, you know? An Ying hasn't had a good night's sleep during this period because of this matter, and I have no reason to leave it alone. "

Xie Zhao gritted his back molars and said: "An Ying, okay, it's An Ying again! You can go to Jiangnan for him, and I can go to Jiangnan for you. I have traveled thousands of miles to chase you many times. , you can finally open your eyes and look at me, but now you are still thinking about other people, Changle, have you ever considered it from my perspective? I am an emperor! I am not a dog you raised!"

The arrogance of these words was so strong that even the secret guard hiding in the tree began to tremble.

Changle glanced sideways at the swaying branches and said coldly: "So, are you complaining to me? I don't understand you?"

Xie Zhao was really aggrieved, with a gloomy face like a chisel and an axe, and such low pressure that even Changle had to retreat three points.But soon after he let out a breath of turbid breath, he stretched out his hand to Chang Le, "Come on, give me a hug."

The voice is low and pure.

Chang Le suspected that he had heard wrongly, and he groaned before realizing that Xie Zhao actually wanted to hug him.

It’s outrageous that a high-ranking emperor still has such a status at home!
The shaking on the nearby branches deepened.

Changle frowned, wondering if the little secret guard on the tree would still be able to see the sun tomorrow?
"hug."

Xie Zhao repeated it again.

Chang Le's face relaxed a little, but he didn't take the initiative to hug him.Instead, he stood there like a beautiful little piece of wood, looking at Xie Zhao, his big eyes flickering as if he could talk, and his expression was completely saying, "Big pig hoof, why don't you come and hug me?"

Xie Zhao chuckled lightly and pulled the man into his arms. He had broad shoulders and a slender figure. For some reason, Xie Zhao begging for a hug at this moment actually made Chang Le feel a little pitiful.

Young Xie Zhao's family has undergone tremendous changes, and he lacks security and love. Chang Le only discovered this later.That is different from the always sunny brother Zhou Yu in Chang Le's memory. Zhou Yu is gentle, bright and can illuminate others. But Xie Zhao after the sudden change, he is not Zhou Yu, he is dark, cunning and violent. He is always insecure and thinks about things in very extreme places, but this is him, it is undeniable.

Such a man with scars all over his body foolishly kept trying to hold an umbrella for Chang Le.

However, it was obviously Changle who should be the one to cure him.
Changle's throat was sour, like countless lemons squeezed into his throat, and even his breathing was sour. "Xie Zhao. Azhao, I know you are insecure and you love me very much. I know that, but next time we have something to do, can we have a good communication?" Chang Le put his arms around Xie Zhao and stood before him. Junxiu scratched twice hard on his back, which was considered as revenge for his anger just now.

Xie Zhao sniffed Chang Le's faint floral fragrance and said, "I like you. I love you. We can communicate well. There is indeed something hidden about Lingmen. I have sent people to investigate. It should be There are secrets in the temple he talks about that he wants to hide."

Chang Le hummed and chose to believe Xie Zhao, "Okay."

A fast horse stopped in the distance, and the man on the horse ran quickly towards the emperor.

Xie Zhao looked at it, then frowned and said, "What's the matter?"

The gloomy expression on his face made even Chang Le a little scared. Chang Le saw that the person who came was midnight, and quickly patted Xie Zhao on the waist, "Don't be angry, something must be wrong."

The third watch was also very embarrassing. This matter was too urgent. I originally went to the prefecture, but when I found out that Xie Zhao was not there, I hurried over. The horse was so fast that he didn't even see clearly what was ahead of him when he dismounted. The two people supporting him were Chang Le and Xie Zhao.
If seen.

He will choose to escape and replace him with a dead soldier.
Midnight said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, there is a clue in Lingyun Temple. There is an old monk inside, who is Lingmen's father. He became a monk in his early years and left Lingmen and his mother behind."

Xie Zhao looked at the information in his hand, looked at it at a glance, and then asked: "So?"

San Geng said: "So, we are still looking for clues, but there is a high probability that the abbot of Lingyun Temple, that is, Lingmen's father, secretly colluded with foreign businessmen to sell the ginseng poisonous beauty pills."

Changle suddenly asked: "Why?"

San Geng shook his head, spread his hands and said that he didn't know either.

Changle took the information from Xie Zhao's hand and looked at it carefully. He found that the abbot was really a cruel person. He wanted to become a monk after having Lingmen. He didn't care about the life and death of the mother and son at all. It was impossible to use a good person. words to describe such a person.

but.

Changle hesitated and said: "If Lingmen is fighting his whole life just to protect a father who has no responsibility and responsibility, then I really despise him, but I always feel that there is something missing here?"

Xie Zhao also said: "Yes, there is a very crucial thing missing here, which is motive. What motive would make someone take the risk to sell drugs?"

Chang Le and Xie Zhao reacted almost instantly and said in unison: "That mysterious mother in Lingmen?!"

Xie Zhao calmed down and said, "Let's deduce that back then, Lingmen's father was determined to go to the mountains to become a monk. At that time, Lingmen, who was only six years old, followed his mother to make a living in a town in the south of the Yangtze River. Lingmen's mother She was originally a young lady from an aristocratic family, but because she married the wrong person, she was not welcomed by the family. She could only hide around with her son and become a widow. She had no source of income and could only do some of the most basic things. I have to work a menial job to support myself and Lingmen."

Changle added: "It is written in the information that Abbot Ling met a woman in [-] years and gave her a lot of money."

Xie Zhao added: "Lingmen once told me that his family was very rich for a period of time, at least they had enough food and clothing, so the money was given by the abbot, and then the family bottomed out again."

Changle sighed: "It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality."

Xie Zhao nodded and said: "Yes, that's the truth and logic. The following matters should be dealt with directly by Lingmen, right? The top priority now is to catch his mother. I think his mother is hiding in Lingyun Temple. , his father doesn’t seem so irresponsible.”

In the dungeon, footsteps sounded again, this time two people came together, and there seemed to be a follower.

Lingmen sighed and sat up from the stone bed, looking down and out.

Xie Zhao walked over directly, asked the boy to open the prison door, and handed all the information in his hand to Ling Men, "Let's take a look and see if there is anything you want to explain."

Lingmen took it and said, "This is...?"

Then he chuckled and said, "I knew I couldn't hide it."

Changle looked at Lingmen suspiciously and said, "If you tell me now, things will turn around."

Ling Men shook his head, and then suddenly pulled out a poisoned dagger from his arms. Almost in a blink of an eye, he thrust the dagger into his neck without hesitation for a second.

Xie Zhao only wanted to protect Chang Le at that time and did not have time to stop Lingmen.

This was almost Xie Zhao's first reaction when encountering danger. Protecting Chang Le has been deeply engraved in his bones and blood.

Changle was frightened and took half a step back.

Large swathes of blood seeped out from his neck. Lingmen breathed heavily, and in the end he could only make up a few syllables, an incomplete sentence.

"Your Majesty, I will repay you for your kindness in the next life."

Chang Le screamed, and then his voice brought Xie Zhao back to reality.

Xie Zhao quickly grabbed Ling Men's arm and tried to stop the bleeding, but even if the bleeding was stopped, the potent poison had already spread into his body.

Lingmen didn't leave any backup plan for himself.

Changle didn't know where his poisonous dagger came from, and even the image of him generously dying in his mind was still too shocking.

Lingmen is also a living person.

Changle burst into tears instantly, "Azhao, find out about this matter! Find out about it!"

Xie Zhao nodded heavily twice, signaling Chang Le not to worry.

Ling Men had closed his eyes and his body slowly fell to the ground.

Xie Zhao reached out and touched his cheek. The touch was cold. His hand trembled slightly, and then he said, "I will investigate this matter thoroughly."

His voice was cold but determined.

Changle looked at him in disbelief. His eyes were gray, but there were faint lines at the corners, sunken eye sockets, and pale lips, giving him a sickly look.

Changle said: "This matter must be deliberately framed by someone!"

Xie Zhao stood up, "I know, I will let Lingmen give you a satisfactory explanation."

Chang Le wanted to say something else, but looked at the dead Ling Men and endured it.

They walked out of the dungeon and went to Qi Yun to explain the situation.

Qi Yun pondered for a long time and said: "I think this matter may be a coincidence. Your Majesty and Concubine, please don't worry, let me go and investigate."

Xie Zhao nodded, "Then I'll leave it to you. I don't know if this matter has anything to do with Lingmen's mother, and I can't guarantee whether he did it."

Qi Yun looked at Xie Zhao and said, "I understand. I will come back as soon as possible. Don't worry, this is our territory. They don't dare to mess around."

After Qi Yun finished speaking, he disappeared into the night.

Xie Zhao and Chang Le stood there. Chang Le looked at Ling Men in the darkness at night and couldn't help but sigh: "A Zhao, actually I admire him very much. At the last moment, he was able to stand up straight and choose death instead of acquiescing to escape. , he is a real man! "

Xie Zhao was silent. He also admired such a person.

He turned his head, looked at Changle, and said, "Let's go."

Chang Le nodded and followed Xie Zhao.

Lingmen died and his body was sent to Lingyun Temple.

Changle knelt down and bowed in front of the door.

Lingmen was truly loyal to her father, but unfortunately their father was too cowardly and blindly evaded, which led to Lingmen's current situation.

Who could have really thought of that?

The final ending of Lingmen is that the people were wrapped in straw mats and placed at the entrance of the temple.

Changle's tears fell to the ground one by one, hitting the pit and splashing flowers.

Xie Zhao frowned. He didn't like the way Chang Le was crying, so he squatted down, wiped Chang Le's tears with his fingertips, and said, "Okay, okay, stop crying. I'll feel sorry for you if you cry." of."

Chang Le raised his eyes, there were still tears in his eyes, but they had gradually stopped.

Xie Zhao picked her up and said, "Go back to sleep. I will ask someone to help investigate."

Changle nodded and said, "Okay."

Xie Zhao took Chang Le back to the inn, then arranged a room for him and said, "You have a good rest today, I will deal with these things."

Changle nodded, "Thank you, Azhao."

Xie Zhao patted his shoulder and walked out.

Xie Zhao returned to the room. He was lying on the bed, thinking about the incident between Lingmen and Meirenwan over and over again in his head.

If Lingmen just wanted to prevent his parents from being exposed, then why did Lingmen kill him?
Xie Zhao couldn't figure it out after thinking for a long time, so he finally gave up.

He lay on the bed and tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Finally, he simply sat up. He took out the map and looked at it carefully.

The map was very large, about two-thirds of which was blank. Xie Zhao drew a line on it, then drew circles in several other locations, and then wrote four words in the circles.

Xie Zhao looked at the circle and suddenly remembered the time in Chang'an.

When Lingmen handed him the map, there was light in his eyes.

The beam of light is now all gathered into the small dot pointed in Xie Zhao's hand.

"Qishan."

Xie Zhao jumped up from the bed and ran out impatiently, "Qishan!"

Chang Le also woke up, came out and asked, "A Zhao, what is Qishan?"

Xie Zhao hugged Chang Le excitedly and said, "Lingmen told me a long time ago, but I didn't know it until now! He once pointed out a location to me on this map. That's exactly where Qishan is, and it should be the home of the poison maker. I will send someone to Qishan right now to take a look." Changle uncovered the mostly blank map and said, "Is Qishan right next to Tianshan?"

Xie Zhao nodded, "Yeah, what's wrong?"

Changle sighed: "Do you think it's possible that the group of people from Tianshan escaped and wanted to take revenge on society?"

Xie Zhao's brows furrowed even more.

He looked at the map, thought for a while, and said, "I don't think it's the group of people in Tianshan."

"Why?" Changle asked, "Could it be because of what happened to my father and mother? But those people didn't take revenge!"

Xie Zhao shook his head, "Those people have not taken revenge, but they will never give up. They will keep looking for opportunities."

Changle thought for a long time and asked, "Then what will they do?"

"They will continue to create troubles, sow discord, and let the aristocratic families and the imperial court fight with each other. Then they will benefit, and in the end they will eradicate the aristocratic families in one fell swoop." Xie Zhao sneered, "So all this is only temporary."

Changle was a little confused. She shook her head and said in confusion: "Azhao, what are you talking about?"

Xie Zhao put the map away and said, "You don't need to worry about these. In short, you just have to be careful."

After Xie Zhao finished speaking, he left the room and sent people out to investigate Lingmen's affairs.

When it got light, a group of people appeared in Changle's courtyard.

Changle looked at the battle and suddenly felt like a storm was coming.

Xie Zhao brought people over and saw Changle standing at the door, so he said: "I know you are not ready yet, so I will give you a few days to adjust. During this period, you will stay in the prefecture of Jiangnan. Don't Go out again. I’ll have someone make sure you’re safe.”

Chang Le looked at Xie Zhao and said, "A Zhao, where are you going?"

Xie Zhao said: "I'm going to investigate this matter clearly, and then go to Qishan to check."

Chang Le's expression changed, "Ah Zhao, don't go, or let me go with you!" Chang Le insisted, "Let me go with you!"

Xie Zhao shook his head and said, "You should stay in Jiangnan. I really don't dare to let you out."

"No, I have to go!" Changle said: "You can't abandon me. No matter what happens, I will be with you and accompany you forever. This is the promise you made to me when we got married. You have said I’ve done it twice, so you can’t and don’t dare to leave me behind.”

Xie Zhao looked at Chang Le, then nodded and said, "Okay."

Chang Le started to pack his bags. Xie Zhao stood aside and watched, and then said: "Let's go find a doctor to check your body first, and then leave quickly."

Changle nodded. She had been feeling unwell recently. She wondered if it was because of her excessive weight.

The two people packed up their things in a hurry and ran out of the city.

When they arrived outside the city, it was already bright, and Xie Zhao led the way on horseback.

Along the way, Changle said nothing, his face as pale as a piece of paper.

Xie Zhao looked at Chang Le worriedly and said: "Chu Chu, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Otherwise, find a place to rest first, and then go to Qishan after you recover. I will ask someone to find a place as soon as possible."

Changle said: "I'm fine."

Xie Zhao sighed, and then said: "Then let's keep going, Die Shi." He turned to call Die Shi, "Go and take out all the supplements and pills your master has taken. The climate will be even harsher after going up the mountain. Let her take good care of herself." Rest."

Dieshi responded and found tonics from the package behind her to feed to Changle. Then, Changle followed Xie Zhao, and the two of them walked in tandem for a long time.

Finally arriving at the foot of Qishan Mountain, Chang Le limped up the mountain after dismounting. When Xie Zhao saw this, he immediately grabbed her.

"I'm holding you up."

Changle nodded.Changle's body was overwhelmed by the long ride, but if they chose speed, they couldn't choose a comfortable carriage, because the speed of the carriage was far from enough. If Lingmen died here, the news of his death would spread soon. , if Qishan Mountain is really the den of those with cholera, now is the most critical opportunity to catch them all, and Changle cannot let go.

The two climbed up slowly. Chang Le walked very slowly, but Xie Zhao didn't complain at all.

Qishan, as its name suggests, has continuous peaks reaching into the clouds.There are steep stone walls on both sides, and birds and unnamed creatures can be seen everywhere, hovering low in the air, and occasionally circle around Chang Le and Xie Zhao, which only adds to the fun.

Xie Zhao led Changle to the top of the mountain layer by layer.

On the top of Qishan Mountain, the scenery is pleasant and the sun is bright, but Xie Zhao's heart is gloomy.

Xie Zhao sat down with Chang Le. Chang Le leaned in his arms and closed his eyes to rest.

After a long time, Changle slowly opened his eyes and asked, "Azhao, I have something to tell you."

Xie Zhao asked: "What happened?"

Changle took a deep breath and said: "Is Qishan connected with the people in Tianshan? Azhao, I feel more and more like this now. It's true. They must be connected somehow. Really?" Yes, you have to trust my feelings."

Changle is a very feeling-oriented person.

Xie Zhao frowned and looked at Changle and said, "How do you know?"

"Do you still need to ask?" Changle retorted: "Look, those people in Qishan like to wear black clothes. Their clothes are embroidered with the Tianshan logo, which shows that they are connected with the people of Tianshan."

Xie Zhao was silent for a moment, and then said: "I have also doubted their identity, but there is no evidence, and there is no substantial evidence. I can't arrest them easily, so I can only stand still for the time being, and then look again Let’s see what they’re going to do.”

After hearing this, Changle said: "You mean, they will continue to sow discord?"

Xie Zhao nodded, "I don't want you to be in danger, but there is no other way now."

Changle gritted his teeth, "In that case, let's go together. No matter what happens, I will be with you."

Xie Zhao held Chang Le's hand, their palms clasped tightly, and then said: "Don't worry, I won't let you get hurt."

Changle smiled and said, "Of course I know your abilities, but some things are not as simple as we think. I don't want you to take risks for me."

Xie Zhao smiled and said: "Fool, you are my wife, and your affairs are my affairs, so don't think too much about it."

Chang Le looked at Xie Zhao and said, "I understand."

Xie Zhao rubbed Chang Le's head and said, "Stay here obediently. I will come back as soon as possible. You are not allowed to run around!"

"I know!" Changle said, "I'm not a three-year-old child!"

Xie Zhao smiled, then turned and walked into the woods.

Looking at Xie Zhao's disappearing back, a bitter smile appeared on Chang Le's lips.

"This idiot ran out like this. I'm really afraid that he was plotted against." Changle said to himself.
-
After a while, Changle saw Xie Zhao's horse being brought out. When she saw what was on the horse's back, she immediately shouted in surprise: "This is..."

There is some dry food and some water on the horse's back.

Changle glanced around to make sure no one was following her, then took out the dry food Xie Zhao gave her and started eating.

"The food here is very good, but you can't eat too much." Xie Zhao warned: "You have to pay attention to your health. If you feel uncomfortable in any way, I will come back immediately."

Changle nodded.

After Xie Zhao finished speaking, he mounted his horse and chased in the direction of Qishan.

Chang Le was alone on the top of the mountain, looking at Xie Zhao who was drifting away, feeling a little melancholy in his heart.

"You idiot, really," Changle said, "Why are you so impulsive! Do you know what you are doing now? If we rush into the village so hastily, we will definitely arouse the vigilance of the people in the village. If they What should we do if he attacks us? Aren't you afraid? "

Chang Le paced anxiously on the spot.

Dieshi came over and tried to persuade her gently, "Master, don't be angry. What will you do if your body becomes so angry later?"

Xie Zhao rode a horse and galloped towards the village quickly.

In the cottage.

Xie Zhao stood alone at the entrance of the main hall of the village, looked at the two guards guarding the door, and said in a cold voice: "Let the master of your village come out to see me."

The guards were stunned, and one of them immediately asked: "Who are you?"

Xie Zhao ignored the other party and continued: "I am the young master of the Qishan Sect. I have something to discuss with your village leader. Please go and inform me."

The guards were stunned. Where was the Qishan Sect? How could they know?

The leader of the guard looked at Xie Zhao, and then said: "Master, please forgive me for not being able to inform you. Our village leader is currently practicing in seclusion. Please come and visit us another day."

Xie Zhao squinted his eyes and said: "No, I will see your village leader today. Regardless of whether your village master agrees or not, I will see him."

The guards exchanged glances with each other, and then one of them said: "Sir, I'm sorry for my rudeness. If you want to see the village master, you can only invite him to the village master's living room. Our village master doesn't like people in his room." There's a lot of noise outside the courtyard, please let me go."

After hearing this, Xie Zhao's face suddenly turned ugly. He said, "What you are doing is going too far. It's just a dilapidated thatched house. I don't even bother to set foot in it."

The guards snorted coldly and said, "Young master, you don't know the true face of Mount Lu, just because you are in this mountain."

As he said this, the guards all showed expressions of disdain.

"You!" Xie Zhao was so angry that he just wanted to step forward and teach him a lesson, but before he could get close, the guards put their knives on Xie Zhao's neck.

"What do you want to do?" Xie Zhao shouted angrily.

The guards didn't say a word, but forced Xie Zhao with knives. Although Xie Zhao was highly skilled in martial arts, it was still difficult for so many people to deal with him.

Just when Xie Zhao was at a loss what to do, suddenly a familiar figure came from not far away.

He looked very similar to Gongsun Yu, but there was a cold and terrifying knife mark under his eyelids, which made his gentle and jade-like face look like a butcher.

If Xie Zhao hadn't seen Gongsun Yu die with his own eyes and sealed Gongsun Yu's coffin himself, he would really have thought that this was Gongsun Yu.
similar.

So similar.

The guard at the door suddenly clasped his hands and said to him respectfully: "Zhai Master, this young master claims to be the young master of the Qishan Sect and wants to see you."

"Gongsun Yu" coldly fixed his gaze on Xie Zhao's face for a moment, then suddenly drew his sword and pointed it at Xie Zhao. He laughed wildly and said: "If you don't have the eyesight to see, how can this be the leader of Qishan? This is our Ming Dynasty." Your Majesty!"

Knowing that his identity was exposed, Xie Zhao immediately drew his sword and pointed it at him. The two swords touched each other, and the cold weapons collided with each other, making a clanging sound. In the lightning flash, Xie Zhao was not a vegetarian, and the secret guards behind him all jumped. Coming out, fifty archers on a hillside were aiming their bows and arrows at anyone here.

Xie Zhao asked: "What's your name?"

"You don't deserve to know my name, go to hell, Dog Emperor."

After saying that, his sword blade climbed up Xie Zhao's neck decisively like a poisonous snake, but how could the Iron Wolf, who had been prepared for it on the hillside, miss?
Xie Zhao nimbly dodged the opponent's killing move, grabbed his wrist with his backhand, pulled out the sword blade, then pointed it at his chest and thrust it in hard.

Blood sprayed out and splashed on Xie Zhao's face.

His eyes flickered slightly, then he pointed at the secret guard on the other side and said, "Shoot!"

"Swish, swish, swish" the arrow came through the air and headed straight for Xie Zhao.

Xie Zhao put away the knife, then aimed at the flying arrows, turned around, and then knocked all the arrows away.

"Whoosh whoosh" The arrows flew faster and faster.

Gongsun Suan continued to dodge, but there were too many arrows. Gongsun Suan was stabbed by several arrows, and his blood flowed endlessly.

The guards were stunned. They didn't expect that Xie Zhao came prepared!

At this time, Xie Zhao suddenly raised his hand, and the arrows fell to the ground.

Xie Zhao glanced at the guard and said, "Get out of here!"

The guards looked at Xie Zhao, not daring to say a word, and then backed away one after another to make way.

Xie Zhao snorted and walked into the courtyard.Gongsun Sun was lying on the ground with a ferocious expression. He quickly and slowly pulled out all the arrows on his body. When he opened it, there was a bloody hole with skin and flesh stuck to it. It looked like fascia when it was removed. It hurt to look at it, but It was as if he didn't know how to feel the pain, and he persisted in getting himself into this state.

This village owner would actually enjoy living in such a remote place.

He walked into the yard and saw a middle-aged woman sitting in the room reading a book. The shouts of murder outside were loud, but the woman inside was still reading leisurely. It was really a strange thing. And such a strange person, Xie Zhao Ask yourself, I have never met a few in my life, and this woman is considered one of the best.

Xie Zhao walked over and asked, "Are you the real leader behind the scenes?"

The middle-aged woman put down the book in her hand upon hearing the sound, then raised her head and looked at Xie Zhao.

Xie Zhao looked at this middle-aged woman and couldn't help but frown.

Although this woman has some good looks, she has crow's feet at the corners of her eyes. The green hair on her head is scattered around her shoulders. Her clothes are thin and she looks like an old village woman.

However, her temperament is very similar to Gongsun Yu's, with the same cold arrogance, the same arrogance, and the same arrogance. This is the characteristic of their Gongsun clan.

"Are you the young master of the Qishan Sect?" The middle-aged woman looked at Xie Zhao and said, "I wonder what business you have with me?"

Xie Zhao said: "I want to see your village leader, there is something very important."

"Have you not met our village master before? He is the one at the door." The middle-aged woman said.

A gloomy look flashed in Xie Zhao's eyes, and he said, "I wonder if Madam could lend me a moment to speak?"

"Sorry, if you want to talk to us about anything, you can tell us here." The middle-aged woman still refused.

Xie Zhao said coldly: "Didn't anyone tell you about the injury of your village leader?"

"I don't know what you are talking about. Please, Your Excellency."

Xie Zhao looked at this woman, and the resentment in his heart became more and more intense.

"In that case, don't blame me for being rude." Xie Zhao snorted, and then quickly rushed towards the middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged woman's eyes suddenly turned cold, her body suddenly rose into the air, and she slapped Xie Zhao on the chest with a palm.

Xie Zhao quickly used Qinggong to dodge, but the opponent's speed was much faster than him. He had no way to dodge and could only resist.

"Bang!" There was a muffled sound.

Xie Zhao's figure was blown away by a huge force, and then he fell heavily on the wall, and a stream of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

The middle-aged woman sneered and said: "I have told you a long time ago that there is nothing you want here. You have to force your way in. Is this what you call the distinction between superiority and inferiority? Your noble Majesty?"

"Who are you? Why do I feel that you and Gongsun Yu are so familiar with each other? You have a smell that I hate! So you are not qualified to be respected by me." He got up and limped out.

His injury was serious, but he did not stay and left the village directly.

He wanted to find Chang Le immediately and let Chang Le leave first. He must not let her know that Gongsun Yu's people were still alive in this world.
Otherwise, the consequences would be unthinkable.

Changle finally got out of Gongsun Yu's shadow, and she could not be allowed to return to the dark whirlpool again.
