Chapter 41 On the Tao

Bai Xinyu breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was worried, he was not too afraid of being nervous.Bai Qingyun's illness is a heart disease, and it's frightening to attack, but it's not fatal.

Bai Xinyu thought in his heart that he was not in a hurry, but he still quickened his pace.

As soon as he stepped into the hall, he saw Bai Qingyun with disheveled hair and disheveled clothes, looking for a place to hide.Seeing Zhan Zhao and the others, instead of looking for her sister, she stumbled towards Zhan Zhao, grabbed his sleeve, stared round her eyes, and quickly peeked around, as if there were countless people in front, back, left, and right. It was as if a vicious spirit was chasing her down.Her thin and haggard face was covered with cold sweat and tears, her eyes were full of terror, her voice was trembling and piercing, "Hero Zhan, stop them quickly, they are coming to kill me, they are coming to kill me..."

Bai Xinyu supported her, and comforted her repeatedly: "Second sister, no one will come to kill you, don't be afraid, no one will kill you..."

Bai Qingyun broke free from Bai Xinyu's hand, held Zhan Zhao tightly again, and begged bitterly, "Hero Zhan, save me, save me, they are coming, you must catch them..."

Zhan Zhao held her arm, softened his voice, and said, "Madam Zhu, please rest assured, who do you think is going to kill you?"

Bai Qingyun burst into tears, sobbing choked up, and said intermittently: "Hero Zhan, save me, I don't want to die..."

Before she finished speaking, her complexion suddenly changed, her body slid to the ground, she almost shrank into a ball, her eyes widened in fright, she didn't dare to look back, but she couldn't help looking behind her, screaming sharply: "He He's coming, he's coming, he's coming to kill me..."

Zhan Zhao looked up and saw that there was no one behind Bai Qingyun, so he could only sigh softly, hold her hand, and slowly input internal energy to help her calm down.

A moment later, Bai Qingyun let out a deep cry from his throat, raised his eyes, looked at Zhan Zhao sadly, and said, "Hero Zhan, you must believe me, Zhu Tianwei came to kill me, I know, I know , I saw him holding a knife, and he came to kill me, please, please help me..."

Everyone was horrified and moved after hearing this. Although they had witnessed Zhu Tianwei's tragic death under the poisonous needle and his being buried in a coffin, they couldn't help feeling a chill behind them.

Zhan Zhao's eyes were like lightning, and he looked at Bai Qingyun carefully, wondering if what she said was somewhat true, or if it was just a complete wild delusion.

But Bai Qingyun suddenly changed his face, wiped away the tears from his face, stood up straight, pulled his clothes, and said to Bai Xinyu: "Third sister, don't worry, I'm fine."

At that moment, she seemed to have regained her senses, and although there was still a little shame on her face, she was dignified and self-sufficient.She looked at everyone in a blink of an eye, turned around and left.After walking a few steps, she stopped at the door again, lowered her head and thought for a while, then turned her head, fixed her eyes on Zhan Zhao, and said, "I lost my composure just now, don't blame the hero Zhan."

Zhan Zhao looked at her with unresolved doubts in his eyes, but said softly: "Madam wish you rest in peace and recuperate, if necessary, just let me know."

Bai Qingyun smiled miserably, and said, "Thank you, Daxia Zhan, for your concern." She paused for a moment, then seemed to be talking to herself, and said in a low voice, "It's better to die clean than to live unhappy and frightened." Without looking back, Bai Xinyu helped him back to his room.

Bai Xinyu settled Bai Qingyun, and walked out with her head bowed.Her expression was not as peaceful as usual, her eyes were red, and there were tears on her face.

Ding Yuehua held her hand, and just after a few words of comfort, Bai Xinyu's tears were already streaming down.

When Sheng Dong came to see him, he didn't say a word, he went to pour a cup of tea and put it silently by Bai Xinyu's table.

Bai Xinyu raised his head and glanced at her gratefully, Sheng Donglai's heart skipped a beat, he felt that these beautiful tear-filled eyes were more capable of piercing people's hearts than a swordsman.

Ding Yuehua said: "How is Madam Zhu?"

Bai Xinyu shook his head and said, "Fortunately, I took the medicine and fell asleep."

Ding Yuehua patted Bai Xinyu's hand, and said: "It means I'm better if I can still sleep. If I'm not feeling well, I won't be able to sleep."

There were tears in Bai Xinyu's eyes, but she couldn't help smiling, and said, "Do you ever have trouble falling asleep?"

Ding Yuehua looked at her seriously and said: "Of course I sometimes can't sleep." She sighed softly, and then said: "When I have something on my mind, I can't sleep."

Bai Xinyu glanced at Zhan Zhao, smiled and said, "You have something on your mind too? What's on your mind, tell me? Is it because of someone?"

Ding Yuehua knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he pushed Bai Xinyu and said angrily, "What did you say?"

Seeing her blushing cheeks, Bai Xinyu smiled inwardly, and didn't say anything more.She then thought of her sister's unhappiness in her marriage, and now that she was suffering from a serious heart disease, she couldn't help being sad, and shed tears again.

Ding Yuehua hurriedly said: "Madam Zhu's condition has eased, and you should take care of your health, don't worry so much. My elder brother recognizes a good doctor. I can ask my elder brother to invite that doctor to come and treat Madam Zhu."

Bai Xinyu still frowned, and said: "Second sister has a heart disease, even if the body is cured, the pain in the heart will not be cured."

Ding Yuehua knew the story, and could only sigh, not knowing how to comfort her.

Zhan Zhao suddenly asked: "Why did you just wish Madam that life is going well?"

Bai Xinyu said: "Second sister has always been at odds with brother Zhu, and she is unhappy in her heart."

Ding Yuehua took a look at Zhan Zhao, and asked, "Brother Zhan, what you mean is that even if Madam Zhu and her husband don't get along, it's just sadness and disappointment. How can you be worried?"

Zhan Zhao smiled and nodded at Ding Yuehua, and asked, "That's right, Miss Bai, does Madam Zhu really have anything to fear?"

"Things to be afraid of?" Bai Xinyu looked at Zhan Zhao, then at Ding Yuehua, with a blank expression, and said, "I don't know, and she never said it. All I know is that she was extremely reluctant to marry Big Brother Zhu, but The first two years were relatively peaceful, but in the past six months, her temperament suddenly changed, she was crazy all day long, and often fell ill. She always said that someone was going to kill her, but she couldn't explain why. Eldest brother is like a mouse seeing a cat, scared to death. From my point of view, although I wish my elder brother treats my second sister badly, I will never kill her, otherwise my elder brother will not give up."

Zhan Zhao didn't speak anymore, he just felt his heart was heavy like a boulder.

It was getting dark, and everyone dispersed, but Zhan Zhao walked out of Zhujiazhuang, walked to the side of the mountain, stopped, and looked around.

The night is thick, and the stars all over the sky seem to be a little heavy and unable to hang.Under the bleak moonlight, the left and right twin peaks of Yuwu Mountain are dark, without the handsome Zhong Lingxiu in the daytime, like two lonely giants standing between the sky and the earth.The dense trees are like the hairs on the giant's body, and they are also densely covered with black, which makes people feel heavy and gloomy.

He turned around slowly, looking at the dimly lit Zhujiazhuang, he couldn't help feeling emotional.The once glorious Zhujiazhuang fell from the peak to the trough in just one night. It will not take long for the Nuo family business, which has been managed by generations of the Zhu family, to disappear silently from people. faded from view.

There is not enough people, but how long can the reputation and wealth built up by all means last?Zhu Tianwei was shrewd and heroic, and he was at the height of his power, but on his birthday, he died tragically under the poisonous needle in an instant, and it came to nothing.

Why do some people spend so much effort not only wanting to control their own destiny, but also want to control the destiny of others?In the end, can they really change their destiny?

Who actually killed Zhu Tianwei?What is the purpose?What is the origin of that killer organization?Who is the mastermind behind it?

Zhan Zhao looked up at the sky and sighed softly.Although he traveled all over the rivers and lakes, eradicating rape and punishing evil, he was never afraid of hard work, and seemed to be doing his best, but who would know that deep in his heart, he always had a deep desire.How much he hopes that there will be no more evil schemes in this world, and no more murder and hatred, so that everyone can spend their lives happily and safely...

But he is also very clear that this is just his hope, and it can even be said to be wishful thinking. As long as the human heart is full of various desires, there will always be tricks and murders.

Sheng Donglai followed Zhan Zhao and reached the summit.He didn't speak, he found a boulder beside him and sat down heavily.He untied the long sword behind his back and laid it across his knees. While stroking the long sword with his hand, he stared wide-eyed at the opposite right peak, trying to see clearly, as if he wanted to penetrate the dark night and see Bai Xinyu was born. The Xiuhuang Village that grew up.He didn't hide his affection for Bai Xinyu at all, and he didn't feel any embarrassment.His pursuit of emotion is as persistent and passionate as his pursuit of swordsmanship.

He withdrew his gaze, looked at Zhan Zhao, looked at this man and the sword on his waist.A swordsman wearing a huge que must be as calm and sharp as this ancient famous swordsman, right?

Sheng Donglai suddenly said, "Hero Zhan, why don't you compete with me?"

Zhan Zhao didn't speak.

Sheng Donglai added: "Although you are a member of the government, you are also a swordsman. The greatest pursuit of a swordsman in his life is to never stop climbing the peak of swordsmanship. I don't believe you have no enthusiasm for swordsmanship."

Zhan Zhao was silent for a while, then nodded, and said, "You are right, every swordsman desires to attain the highest level of swordsmanship."

He said only one word, and became silent again.How could he forget the hardships of learning to sword?He couldn't forget the great joy that arose in his heart every time his sword technique improved.Also, every time I meet a strong opponent, every time I hold the Juque, the surging passion in my heart is also unforgettable.

Sheng Donglai slapped the long sword on his knee, and said, "Since you know what the swordsman wants, why don't you compete with me?"

Zhan Zhao turned his head to look at him, then looked at the vast sky in the distance, and after a long time, he said slowly, "I don't know."

He wasn't just dealing with Sheng Donglai casually, he was speaking the truth.He really didn't know, and couldn't explain clearly.

In the past ten years, he has made his debut in the arena and joined the government. He has experienced too much from a passionate young man to serving in the Kaifeng Mansion.

He suddenly felt a little tired.

Seeing too much, experiencing too much, sometimes, his always stable and strong heart will have waves, hesitation, will give rise to doubts, so persistent pursuit, what is it for?

The more experience he has in doing things, the more traitors he has personally captured, and the number of cases he has solved is countless, but how has the number of murderous people in this world decreased?

He studied swordsmanship painstakingly, and his martial arts became more and more advanced, so why?Just to beat the opponent?

He really doesn't know.

For many years, his reputation is growing day by day, as if being propelled by an idea, he keeps walking forward. Once he stops and lowers his head to think, he suddenly finds that he is actually just a person, standing alone in the dark and unable to see On the long road to the end, where can there be rest?

Sheng Donglai didn't understand, and asked in surprise: "You say you don't know? A swordsman lives for the sword. Doesn't Nan Xia Zhan Zhao, who is so powerful in the world, know what he lives for?"

"I don't know." Zhan Zhao said it again, hesitating for a while, his eyes suddenly shone brightly, and then said slowly: "Maybe I know." He knew that he not only lived for superb sword skills, but also He didn't live for the reputation of being chivalrous, but why did he live for it?Is it for an indelible belief?

Sheng Donglai stared at Zhan Zhao intently, and saw that his whole body seemed to be emitting a dazzling light.

Sheng Donglai looked down at the long sword on his lap again, and then raised his head to look at the giant que hidden deep in the sword box. There seemed to be a little light in his heart, and he seemed to understand something, but he seemed to be still in the dark .
