"The person who forged it was the first master after Ou Yezi, and also the first swordsman at that time. But in his whole life, he never used this sword, and he never even pulled out the sheath for others to see."

"why?"

"Because this sword is too fierce, as long as it is drawn out of the sheath, it will drink human blood, and it must be the blood of Master Xiao's closest relatives."

"Where did the three apprentices of Master Xiao go?"

"The first disciple Bosom friend got his sword skills. The second disciple Shao Kongzi got the sword casting skills and became a generation of sword masters. The third one is Master Xiao's favorite disciple. Master Xiao taught him his sword stabbing skills. , but let him return to the mountains early with the tear-stained sword."

"So, although these three people have rare abilities, they have all disappeared in the Jianghu?" It was Die Wu who asked.

It was Sima Chaoqun who answered him, "At least we have met old bosom friend in Honghuaji."

Die Wu was puzzled.

"That's the musician."

"Blind people can also use swords?"

This was the conversation that Zhuo Donglai had just heard soberly, and he was already familiar with what they were talking about.He opened his eyes, but he didn't see the sword they were talking about. Sima Chaoqun just stood there talking to Die Wu, holding nothing in his hand.

"You're awake." A happy look flashed on Die Wu's face, and she walked to his couch, "You've been in a coma for several days." Sima Chaoqun followed closely behind him, he beckoned and got off one by one. A man walks in with a glass of water.

"Drink some water." Sima Chaoqun said to him in a gentle tone, Zhuo Donglai took two sips from the water glass, and when he saw the person who brought the water clearly, he froze.The servant didn't know what he did wrong, so he stood where he was.Sima Chaoqun waved him back again.

"This is not Wushen Escort Bureau." Zhuo Donglai's eyes were fixed on the back of his servant leaving, and the words on the back of his clothes.

"This is the Lions Hall of the Central Plains." Sima Chaoqun replied, "Do you have anything else you want to ask me?"

Zhuo Donglai pointed at Die Wu, "I have something to ask her."

Die Wu was sitting on the edge of his bed, Zhuo Donglai looked at her carefree face and happy expression, but didn't know if he needed to speak.At this time, footsteps came from the door, and it sounded like a very powerful man, Die Wu smiled even more, she turned her head and looked towards the door.

The person who came in was Zhu Meng.

He walked step by step to the place where Zhuo Dong came, and Zhuo Dong saw clearly that he was wearing a black hanging jacket with red trim today, the red was bright red, and the jet black was dim.Zhu Meng has a pair of thick eyebrows and round eyes on his face. At this moment, the eyebrows and eyes are full of happiness. Others will be infected and happy when they see this happiness, but Zhuo Donglai only feels oppressed. The outline and figure are all oppressive at this moment.

Seeing his ugly face, Zhu Meng greeted him a few words, asked him to rest here, and took Die Wu away.

Only Zhuo Donglai and Sima Chaoqun were left in the room.

Once, in the Escort, Zhuo Donglai cherished the days alone with Sima Chaoqun, because he always had too many things to arrange and many enemies to face, and Sima Chaoqun also had his own life.Even when they were alone, they mostly talked about things in the escort agency.

Now, Sima Chaoqun was sitting beside him, and there was light coming in through the gap in the door. Zhuo Donglai looked at the shadows cast by the tables and chairs on the ground, and Sima Chaoqun watched with him.

Light and shadow are silent.Zhuo Donglai had a storm in his heart, he only hoped that Sima Chaoqun would leave quickly and let him stay alone for a while, because he didn't want to hear a single word the other party had to say next.

Finally someone broke the silence, it was Die Wu who had gone and returned. She brought a bowl of porridge, put a few pieces of maltose on the side of the bowl, looked at Sima Chaoqun and backed out.

"You must love this righteous sister very much." Sima Chaoqun picked up the bowl and wanted to feed him porridge, but Zhuo Donglai blocked it with his hand.

"I remember you said that Die Wu is a very beautiful girl, any man who sees her will fall in love with her." Sima Chaoqun did not put down the bowl, and continued talking on his own.

"I have no appetite," Zhuo Dong said, not looking at the bowl of porridge.Sima Chaoqun put down the bowl, picked up the malt candy again, he had to eat one piece in his mouth, the sweet taste stimulated the numbness,

"So I have always protected her very well, hoping that she will not be hurt by anyone or anything until she finds someone who treats her sincerely."

"Such as Wu Mo?" Sima Chaoqun asked.

"Yes, like Wu Mo."

"What kind of person do you think Zhu Meng is?" Sima Chaoqun asked him suddenly.

Zhuo Donglai only felt a headache, he didn't want to hear him say that passage again, but the other party said it anyway,

"I think Zhu Meng is a very real person. He doesn't hide anything from his friends, and he doesn't hide anything from his enemies. There is nothing in this world that can make him frown." Sima Chaoqun sighed again after saying this, "Wu Mo is also very good, but a dead person cannot protect Die Wu."

Zhuo Donglai had already thought of this possibility, but he still wanted to vomit after hearing the other party say it.

"You don't want to ask me about your new friend, where did Gao Jianfei go?" Sima Chaoqun asked casually as if he suddenly remembered this person.This casual sentence stung Zhuo Donglai again, the scene in the medical hall suddenly flashed in his mind, but he could only pretend not to understand, "I think you killed him too."

Sima Chaoqun laughed loudly, "Maybe there will be such a day, but not yet. Yesterday he killed Xiao Leixue and left."

"Aren't you surprised he just left you and went away?"

"He was a young man of unknown background. It was strange for him to appear, so it is not surprising that he left." Zhuo Dong said.

"Wu Mo is dead and I am still alive, should I be very grateful to you," he finally asked the inevitable words,

Sima Chaoqun sat a little closer, so close that he could catch every expression change on Zhuo Donglai's face, "You are different from Wu Mo."

Zhuo Donglai sneered, he couldn't let Sima Chaoqun see his thoughts,

"Whether you believe it or not, you are a very important person to me." Sima Chaoqun walked out after saying this.

-------

The old man was sitting in a wheelchair with metal armrests. He had a child's face, not the kind of immature and cute childish face, but the shape of a dwarf in the hands of a busker. His hands were shriveled and shriveled, as thin as his body.The only thing that makes people look comfortable and natural is his white hair.

Seeing him approaching, the old man looked frightened and uneasy, and when he saw Sima Chaoqun walking in with him, he showed a begging look again.

The greatest secret of your omniscient mind, I already know.Although he thought so in his heart, Zhuo Donglai still called out, "Father".

"There are two most powerful weapons in the rivers and lakes, a chest and a sword. We already know who is better among them in Honghuaji. Both of these weapons are from Master Xiao." Sima Chaoqun stood aside. explain.

Zhuo Donglai couldn't guess the meaning of what he said, so he didn't make a sound.

"Master Xiao is dead, but he left behind three apprentices. The three of them have their own strengths, and their martial arts have reached their peak. There are few rivals in the world, but there is some gap between the three of them." Sima Chaoqun took it from his sleeve. A red flower came out and was placed in front of the old man, but he asked Zhuo Yong, "What do you think will happen if these three apprentices meet together?"

"So you let them decide the outcome?"

"Yes. You already know the result."

Sima Chaoqun looked at the old man's legs covered by his clothes, and put the red flower on his knee, "Although he no longer has martial arts, a wise mind is often more effective than skilled swordsmanship."

Before Sima Chaoqun could finish his sentence, he raised his head and changed his tone with a meaningful tone, "I'm not a person who is good at strategy, thanks to the precious head of his old man who has spent so many years, otherwise many things would not happen." It went so well."

Zhuo Donglai forced a smile, "For example, Mr. Ji wouldn't die in Honghuaji so easily." He walked up to the old man, "Father, I really want to know how the three of you should be like brothers and best friends, why did you become a close friend?" For the enemy, even, you are willing to help outsiders kill your senior friend."

The old man sighed and shook his head, "It's a sad thing for brothers to kill each other and friends to turn against each other, but there are many things in the world that are inevitable tragedies. This is the fate of our brothers and sisters."

Zhuo Donglai seemed to be touched by his tone, he was silent for a moment, and finally made up his mind to ask Sima Chaoqun,

"You let me come today, I'm afraid it's not just for me to see this tragedy of fratricide."

Sima Chaoqun smiled at him, looking at him with very focused eyes.Zhuo Donglai once thought that when Sima Chaoqun laughed, he was like a god in a painting, bright and resolute.Even now his smile is not inferior.The voice of the gods is also a kind of unhurried speed, "Geographic location is the most critical factor for any bodyguard agency business, Shanhaiguan is the most natural and most difficult barrier for dart travel, only the Wushen bodyguard agency has managed to overcome this obstacle over the years. Both the north and the south can gain influence and set up branch churches."

"I don't know much about the dart business." Zhuo Donglai had no choice but to answer.

Sima Chaoqun continued to smile, "But you are smart enough to already know what I'm going to say."

"Since we are in the Lion Hall, you want me to help you annex the Wushen Bodyguard Bureau with the help of the Lion Hall."

But Sima Chaoqun shook his head,

"First, I really want to use the power of the Lion Hall, but the purpose is not to annex the Wushen Escort. Second, and most importantly," he changed his tone, "I want you to help me and cooperate with me , from now on, starting from the Wushen Escort, we will gradually establish our own Escort, which will also be the largest and most prestigious Escort in the pass."

"I believe this is something that will definitely be done and will be done very soon."

When Sima Chaoqun said this, he stood in front of him and looked at him, his tone excited.He stared into the distance like a torch, as if he had seen some magnificent scene, some exciting scene.

Zhuo Donglai followed his gaze, and there was only a smear of the light blue sky in his eyes.

He had already foreseen some success, and although it was still far away, his hands were weak and his face was darkened by the sight of this achievement.

But he couldn't say no, because Zhuo Donglai would never be able to refuse Sima Chaoqun's request.

So when he opened his mouth, he asked a realistic question, "The Wushen Bodyguard Agency has always been invincible, and its glory has become a legend. Although Wu Mo is gone now, Mr. Wu is still there, and there is also an equally heroic Xue Yu .Wu Mo is dead, he will definitely let Xue Yu replace this seat as the head of the hall, I am afraid it is unrealistic for you to take advantage of their chaos."

"Last night, there was a big fire in the Luoyang branch hall, and the fire was getting bigger and bigger with the wind. This fire burned Xue Yu to death, and even Mr. Wu's three-year-old grandson was killed in the sea of ​​fire." The person in the wheelchair answered him. The old man, "Mr. Wu has suffered a series of blows and is no longer what he used to be."

Zhuo Donglai looked at Sima Chaoqun in disbelief, but he denied it, "I can only tell you that I didn't set the fire. I was here just like you last night."

The old man went on to say, "The current Wushen Escort Agency is like a middle-aged man who suddenly suffered a serious illness and was dying. Its property, bodyguard team, and reputation are still there, but its spirit is broken and its bones are vulnerable. If this At that time, Zhu Meng suddenly launched an attack and wanted to invade the Wushen Bodyguard Agency, so Mr. Wu has only one choice."

"His choice is to let you, Sima Chaoqun's deputy hall master, who was also Wu Mo's most trusted friend, be the chief hall master, so that he can act like the Wushen Escort Bureau and fight against the Lion Hall." Zhuo Donglai continued slowly, his There was no longer a look of surprise on his face,

Because now Sima Chaoqun will not be surprised by what Sima Chaoqun says or what he does.

-----

"Why don't you look at my face when serving wine?"

The boy trembled when he heard this, and the wine jar fell from his hands to the ground, and the pieces were all over the ground, he was so frightened that he forgot to clean it up.

September is coming to an end, the red leaves in the courtyard are like fire, and the autumn wind is bleak, blowing on the treetops, blowing the red leaves on the ground, and blowing on the stone table where Sima Chaoqun is sitting.He waved his hand, telling the boy to step back quickly.

Sima Chaoqun was in a very irritable mood today, he had been sitting here drinking since the afternoon.Today was a very important day for him, and there was an extremely crucial thing to accomplish, but in the end, he couldn't bear it.

So he sat here and drank, so that he could get drunk so that he could do the thing that he couldn't bear.He has become more and more able to understand Zhuo Donglai's past actions. For a person who wants to achieve great things, the first thing he has to throw away is probably his own conscience.

He sat here drinking for half a day, and thought a lot.

By the time he left the stone table and returned to the house, it had been dark for a long time.

"I thought you wouldn't come back." Sima Chaoqun saw the people standing inside the house and a broken red leaf brought by his feet,

"You don't want to ask me why I left first." Whether Zhuo Dong came to see him,

"It's fine when you come back. If you don't want to say, I won't ask in the future, and if you don't want to do, I will never force it again." Under the dim candlelight, Zhuo Donglai could not see Sima Chaoqun's eagerness when he said this. eyes.

It has been three months since Sima Chaoqun became the head of the Wushen Bodyguard Agency. He has become the supreme figure and spirit of the Wushen Bodyguard Agency. From then on, all the dart lines from Jinzhong to outside the pass will be divided by Wushen Bodyguard Bureau and Xiongshitang, and they will not invade each other.All bodyguards in the Wushen Bodyguard Agency have regarded him as a hero, and he himself is used to the feeling of being a hero, and he will not frown when anything happens in front of him.

But now he can't calm down at all, Zhuo Donglai suddenly left Wushen Bodyguard Bureau two months ago without leaving a word.Now he reappeared without warning.Even though Sima Chaoqun had thousands of questions in his mind, he didn't dare to ask them.

Zhuo Donglai showed no concern, he had already sat down on the chair,

"I just came in from the outside and saw Wu Wan, she seemed to be having a bad time."

Sima Chaoqun frowned tightly, "The first thing you said when you came back was to care about this woman?"

"You didn't take good care of her."

"Why should I take good care of her, she is not really my wife." Sima Chaoqun said in a cold tone.

Zhuo Donglai suddenly shot two provocative glances at him, "But you told her that you would treat her well, you said it once five years ago, and you said it again three months ago."

"Where did you hear all this?"

Zhuo Donglai sighed, and his speech slowed down, "Two months ago, one night, I was alone in the room when someone knocked on the door. I opened the door and it was Miss Wu. When she saw her I started crying."

Two months ago, Zhuo Donglai saw that it was Wu Wan who knocked on the door, and he couldn't think of any reason why the other party would come to him.Before he could react, Wu Wan had already closed the door tightly and grabbed his hand.Zhuo Donglai never thought that a woman's hands could be so strong. Wu Wan's hands tightly wrapped around his wrists, like a drowning man grabbing a piece of rope thrown from the bank. Despair made her face white-haired and her hands cold.

"Mr. Zhuo," there was despair in her voice, "I came here to ask you one thing."

Zhuo Donglai never hated Wu Wan, even if she used her own death to force Sima Chaoqun to break with her.He just sympathized with her.A smart and ambitious woman, such a woman would do crazy things if she met someone she couldn't fully grasp.What's more, he has spent 11 years to forget all this, and the feeling of the past has become very weak.

After seeing Wu Wan showing that familiar crazy expression and hoarse crying, Zhuo Donglai wanted to persuade her to let go, let go of Sima Chaoqun and let herself go.

"Mr. Zhuo, please kill Sima Chaoqun." Zhuo Donglai never expected Wu Wan to say these words to him.

"It's only you now, you have the ability to kill him," Wu Wan obviously didn't have the heart to take care of herself recently, her hair bun was messed up, and the pearl hairpin she was inserting was already crumbling, "Only you can save me, save my father, Save the Wushen Bodyguard Agency."

Five years ago, for the first time, Miss Wu led the bodyguard team to pick up a business by herself, with the expectation of God Wu.After a trip without any disturbance or accident, after ten days, the item was delivered safely and in time, and the customer did not wait for a long time.This seemingly smooth dart trip turned out to be a turning point for Wu Wan and even Wushen Escort.

Mr. Wu always thought that he was cultivating Wu Wan and Wu Mo in the same way, and even appreciated the decisive and slightly cold eldest daughter more.But he made a mistake, he forgot the most fatal weakness of a daughter's family.Wu Wan met Sima Chaoqun on the way of walking the darts, a man she would definitely fall in love with.Sima Chaoqun stayed with her for ten days, and when it was time to return to Wushen Escort, Sima Chaoqun disappeared.

Mr. Wu's negligent mistake was like a fire that had been buried long ago. It has been dormant but never extinguished. It spread secretly underground, and finally exploded one day, burning half of his foundation to ruins.

After Wu Wan came back, she fell seriously ill due to heart disease. When she recovered from her illness, she saw Sima Chaoqun who was new to the Wushen Escort, and she understood Sima Chaoqun's thoughts.But she could only pretend that she didn't know this person, and quickly found another person to marry, and withdrew from the competition for the chief hall master, and then helped her sweetheart to fulfill his ambition and plan.Because she has no choice. If a woman gives her heart to a man, she loses the right to choose. Until Wu Wan and Xue Yu gave birth to Shaoer, this invisible love did not diminish at all. Depressed and crazier.

It was so crazy that three months ago, she actually agreed to a terrible request from Sima Chaoqun.

"He said to me that the time he's been waiting for for five years has arrived, the time we've been waiting for for five years has arrived, and we're just one step away."

Hearing this, Zhuo Donglai couldn't help being moved, but he still didn't dare to guess this terrible request,

Wu Wan's tears flowed all over her face, and every trace of her face was filled with remorse," he said, "as long as I help him remove the two obstacles on the way to the chief hall master." She was trembling all over and couldn't continue,

"After success, he will justifiably marry you as his wife." Zhuo Donglai couldn't bear to look at her face anymore,

"Yes," Wu Wan seemed to have the last courage, she walked up to Zhuo Donglai and looked directly at him, "So I gave my husband and my child a medicine that can make them sleep forever , and set a fire."

"At least, they were still in a dream when they died, without pain or fear." Zhuo Donglai was exhausted, only feeling dizzy.Every time Wu Wan uttered a word, she tapped his memory, and there were scenes of deja vu in the memory.After Wu Wan finished speaking the last word, he could no longer speak. His heart seemed to be buried in a tomb for a long time, but someone dug it out and exposed it to the hot sun. The past life in the dark, buried for 11 years.

Only then did Zhuo Donglai realize that he had fallen too deep in these matters.

After hearing his story, Sima Chaoqun sneered, "Wu Wan would do this only because she is a cruel woman. Otherwise, how could a wife have the heart to kill her husband, and a mother would have the heart to kill her own child."

Zhuo Donglai no longer wanted to discuss these things with him.He clearly knew that what Sima Chaoqun was doing was to relieve his anger, but things were different, and he was no longer the Zhuo Donglai in the other party's heart. When Sima Chaoqun finally understood him, Zhuo Donglai had already changed.

The previous life was like fire to him, burning everything about him, which he would never remember or admit again.It took him 11 years to live as Mr. Zhuo, who was "chasing the wind and shadows", and became a completely different person. How could he be dragged back step by step by Sima Chaoqun, back to the past.

The only thing he wanted to do in this life was to find his own blood relatives, but his most likely brother died because of Sima Chaoqun.He could neither speak out nor blame Sima Chaoqun, he had no other choice but to leave him.

During the two months of leaving, he thought for a long time, and finally made a decision. He came back tonight to exercise this decision.

Zhuo Donglai had already seen what Sima Chaoqun was thinking.He wanted to set up their once unique bodyguard agency again, and every step he arranged was paving the way for this purpose.Although Zhuo Donglai didn't know why he was obsessed with this, it frightened him very much.He chose not to go to that temple that day, and now he can no longer cooperate with Sima Chaoqun, because he has long been determined to abandon the past.

Before Sima Chaoqun knew his secret, Zhuo Donglai came tonight to destroy a key part of his plan.

"Have you already made a decision?" Sima Chaoqun asked him in the dark,

"Yes."

"What will you do after you decide?" Sima Chaoqun stared at him,

"Not in the future, but now." Zhuo Donglai also looked at him with a relieved smile, "I already know what you are going to do tonight."

Sima Chaoqun was silent,

"I think the assassin you found has already arrived here. Once Mr. Wu dies tonight, Wushen Escort will completely belong to you and be at your mercy."

As if to verify his words, there seemed to be a dark shadow passing by the corridor outside the door.

Sima Chaoqun clenched his fists tightly, he had vaguely guessed Zhuo Donglai's intentions,

"If God Wu dies tonight, I will be the assassin you sent." Zhuo Donglai stood up and took out a scimitar from his waist, "If everyone is searching for the assassin and sees someone who has disappeared for two months Mr. Zhuo happened to be here tonight, what would he think?" He turned around suddenly and looked at Sima Chaoqun, "For an outsider who killed the old hall master, the whole bodyguard bureau will hope you again, what will the chief hall master Sima do?"

Sima Chaoqun suddenly seemed to be unable to stand still,

He was silent for a long time, until suddenly shouts came from outside the house, the shouts became louder and closer, as if many people were running around, and the light of torches stood towards them from far and near from the place.

"I think you have already made a decision." Zhuo Donglai's voice was surprisingly calm, "God Wu is dead, and now the entire Escort should have been awakened, looking for this assassin everywhere." He said as he prepared to walk towards the door.

Sima Chaoqun finally made a move, he suddenly stood in front of Zhuo Donglai,

"It's too late to regret now, they are going to your house soon, I will definitely not be able to escape." Zhuo Dong said it very flatly, as if he was not the one who was going to die.

The heavy figures were already approaching the door, and the shape of the orange heart on the torch could be seen through the door paper.

Sima Chaoqun suddenly grabbed Zhuo Donglai and dragged him behind the screen in the corner.Zhuo Donglai was about to open his mouth, but Sima Chaoqun grabbed the scimitar he was holding and stabbed backhand above his heart. This stab was very powerful, and the strike was resolute, until the blade had reached the hilt.

Zhuo Donglai's pupils suddenly shrank,

Sima Chaoqun was still on the handle of the knife with one hand, and covered his voice with the other bloodless hand. Just looking at him like this, he walked out of the screen and walked to the front of the room.

The blood flowed down the handle of the knife, staining Sima Chaoqun's snow-white sleeves red, and then dripped from his hands onto the ground, onto the red leaves on the ground.

When everyone opened the door and came in, they saw such a scene, they couldn't help showing fear, and exclaimed, "Chief hall master!"

"There are assassins." Sima Chaoqun's voice was distorted by bleeding, and his forehead was dripping with cold sweat due to pain.

Before they had time to say anything, two escorts walked in quickly, helped Sima Chaoqun up, waved their hands, and the group left quickly.

After everyone left, Zhuo Donglai came out from behind the screen.He walked to the fresh red blood and red leaves on the ground inside the house, looked at it for a long time and stood there for a long time.So many things happened in the Wushen Bodyguard Bureau overnight, even if he saw the dawn here, no one would come here.

When Zhuo Donglai walked out the door, he had already calmed down.He didn't look back when he left, because he already knew that he would come back soon, and he could only come back.
