Si Zhuo Green Plum Boiled Gu

(9) Heroes have tears

-------------

To the east of Chang'an City is the Red Flower Collection that no longer exists, and to the west is an ancient village.Today, the Guo surname flag can be seen flying far from the village head, and Guo Qing is waiting for him standing under the largest side.

Zhuo Donglai never forgot Guo Qing's appearance.Guo Qing is a very tall young man, a young man who resembles both Xiao Gao and himself.

Guo Qing looked at Zhuo Donglai with a pair of bright eyes, as if he wanted to see his heart from his cold, mask-like face.

"You really came alone, it seems that running water is really important to you."

Zhuo Donglai was noncommittal,

"I've seen you before," Guo Qing said again, "under the stage of Honghuaji, you and Gao Jianfei were sitting there drinking."

Zhuo Donglai finally spoke and let out a sneer,

"I should have thought earlier, Qingfengzhai is yours, and Honghuaji is also your brother's."

Guo Qing's eyebrows showed a bit of complacency, only at this time, he showed the arrogance and conceit that only belonged to young people at his age.

Guo Qing brought him to a bamboo building, a small building with flowing water.

"Can I dispose of him at will now?" Zhuo Donglai asked,

From seeing them walk in, on Zhuo Donglai's face, Liu Shui had already seen his own end from that determined expression.He even watched Zhuo Donglai stab the dagger with a sense of relief.

Guo Qing stared at the foggy eyes behind the old man's death, as if he hadn't expected Zhuo Donglai to do this at all.

"I thought he was at least your adoptive father."

"Only the dead can keep secrets." Zhuo Donglai carefully wiped off the blood on the dagger, and put it back into the scabbard.

When Zhuo Donglai was doing these actions, Guo Qing was watching him patiently, and when Zhuo Donglai finished cleaning up and got up to leave, he stopped him.

"You just killed my newly appointed master, shouldn't you be compensated?"

Zhuo Donglai didn't even want to give a reply, and his footsteps didn't stop.

Guo Qing was not annoyed, he just said three words behind his back, his voice was very soft but full of confidence in winning, because he was sure that Zhuo Donglai would definitely turn back,

It was a three-letter name, the name of a dead man.

Seeing Zhuo Dong come and go, Guo Qing smiled.This name has already changed Zhuo Donglai's whole body, his teeth were clenched tightly due to pain, and the murderous look in his eyes was like a long sword, wanting to nail himself in this small building.

Guo Qing smiled even more happily because of his change,

"In my hands, there is no secret that cannot be asked." His tone was relaxed,

"You shouldn't ask this secret," Zhuo Donglai replied,

Guo Qing's happy expression didn't change, "Just before you came, I sent Gao Jianfei to the Escort Bureau," he said.

In just one sentence, Zhuo Donglai had calmed down, he didn't look at Guo Qing again, his lowered eyelids covered his emotions, "Just because of Gao Jianfei, he is still far from killing Sima Chaoqun."

"Like, I can kill you without any effort here now,"

Guo Qing shook his head, "If you dared to do it already, you don't do it now because you don't know what I'm going to do."

Zhuo Donglai didn't look up, what he looked at was Guo Qing's shadow on the ground.Yes, he dared not.

Because he already knew too well what kind of person Guo Qing was. He once thought that his only enemies were Xiao Leixue and his suitcase. He was wrong, so he failed and paid the full price for this miscalculation.He can no longer risk doing things that he regrets.

At this moment, his only true enemy stood before him,

"I can see that Gao Jianfei has great enthusiasm for killing Sima Chaoqun. He even came to Qingfengzhai to work for me in order to kill Sima Chaoqun one day."

Zhuo Donglai didn't speak, he wanted to listen carefully to every word and tone of Guo Qing's words,

"Before you came to Chang'an, I heard about your name and the major cases you have solved. It's a "following the wind and shadows"," Guo Qing said to himself, "I appreciate you far more than Sima Chaoqun."

He suddenly laughed again, "Gao Jianfei is more infatuated with you than I am, you will not fail to realize this."

Only then did Zhuo Donglai sigh, "I know," he said,

Ever since he saw Gao Jianfei wearing that snow-white dress, he knew it.

Guo Qing added, "I asked him to bring a letter to Sima Chaoqun."

Zhuo Donglai's heart sank suddenly, and when he heard Guo Qing leaning forward again, he slowed down his tone,

"I told Gao Jianfei, don't be impatient before he makes a move. You must wait until Sima Chaoqun has read it." No need to pretend to be mysterious, Guo Qing quickly said, "Wait until Sima Chaoqun reads the letter and finds out With the relationship between you and Xiao Leixue, you found out that he actually killed your brother, in that mood, how much chance does he have to defeat Gao Jianfei?"

He didn't look at Zhuo Donglai's expression any more, and finished speaking freely,

"Even if Qingfengzhai is gone, I will definitely be able to make a comeback. I want you to help me get back what I lost."

-----

As early as in Honghuaji, Sima Chaoqun noticed the inexplicable hostility of young people towards him, which seemed to carry the imprint of his previous life.When the secret agent reported that Gao Jianfei was on his way to the Escort, Sima Chaoqun sighed as if relieved from a heavy burden.

One Zhu Meng, one Gao Jianfei, the grievances between them cannot be avoided in a lifetime.The fate between him and Zhu Meng had to be killed, a duel between him and Gao Jianfei, a young man, was destined to happen.

Even after riding a horse through the long wind and sand, the young man's white clothes are still spotless.Sima Chaoqun looked at him, no matter how profound and decisive his face was, the young man's innocence and vigor could not be concealed. Seeing him like this, Sima Chaoqun unconsciously thought of Wu Mo.In the previous life, he was unwilling to kill one more person, but now, he killed so many people who didn't deserve to die.

Gao Jianfei was carrying his tear-stained sword, which was pure and clear, a tear-stained sword without tears.

Xiao Leixue finally died in his fate, and he couldn't escape his fate.So, can the fate of himself and Zhuo Donglai really be rewritten?

Sima Chaoqun immediately dismissed this thought, he had already done enough crazy things, there was no room for him to waver.

"It's my personal business to come to you for a duel, and it has nothing to do with Qingfeng Village." The young man said,

"The burden of the hero you seek seems a little too heavy for your age,"

"I want more than your title of being invincible and always number one," the young man always said directly, "I want to take the Big Escort from your hand, and a person beside you."

This was the funniest joke Sima Chaoqun had ever heard.The intricate relationship between the few of them in their previous lives came to the present, and they were able to produce so many jaw-dropping changes.

The young man was not irritated by his wanton laughter, and when he made up his mind, he was always a hundred times more patient than usual.Sima Chaoqun suddenly thought that every glory and success he had had was the result of Zhuo Donglai's planning for him, and the unfinished duel with Gao Jianfei was also inseparable from his planning.

The unfinished business is finally to be brought to an end.

This time, without Zhuo Donglai's management, Sima Chaoqun had the confidence to win.

What he took out was a thousand-hammer iron sword, which was an uncommon weapon, and he didn't have much chance to use it in these years of darts.This was his first weapon, because no matter what, he always regarded this young man as a very courageous opponent, and even if he were to die, he hoped that this weapon could match his courage.

The purpose of a duel is never to kill, it is a ritual, and the process of this ritual is often as important as the result.Sima Chaoqun was waiting, waiting for the opponent to make a move,

His understanding of Gao Jianfei's character and martial arts is far more thorough than the other party's own, so he never doubted that he would lose today,

He was just thinking about whether to save the young man's life.

The young man's swordsmanship is the same as his own, without any pretense, menacing, direct and fast, the tear-stained sword branched out dazzling flashes that seemed to be everywhere, making people unavoidable, shrouded in the light of the sword, He seemed to see Sima Chaoqun's eyes turned golden.

A black cloud overwhelmed all the sword lights, like a lightning flash in the sky, suddenly suppressed silently by the whole black cloud.

Hei Yun did not cast a shadow in the eyes of the young man, even if death was approaching, he still had to maintain that arrogance.

Amid the raging, a withered yellow leaf fell out.

It was a letter that fell from Gao Jianfei's lapel.

------

I don't know what time it is, Zhuo Donglai sat in the small building all night, and another night.

Before dawn, the fire came outside first.Guo Qing who was sitting opposite suddenly stood up.In addition to checking the news sent in by someone several times a day, he also stayed at home in this small building day after day.

"You lost." When Zhuo Dong said this, he couldn't see whether he was happy or sad.

Except for the Great Escort Bureau, the heads of the other Escort Bureaus in Guanzhong are not ordinary people. The proposal made by Sima Chaoqun earlier was not so much a lobbying, but it just ignited the long-held thoughts of each family.

In terms of manpower and weapons, Qingfengzhai was already doomed to be the loser.What's more, the evil side always loses first in terms of momentum.

Guo Qing laughed hoarsely, before he walked out, Zhuo Donglai gave him one last look.His judgment on Guo Qing was not wrong, this young man harbored the same paranoia and insidiousness as himself, and this darkness would eventually destroy his host.

The sound outside fell silent, Zhuo Donglai heard footsteps getting closer, and he knew whose footsteps it was.

The blade was still spattered with blood. Sima Chaoqun was holding a light dagger this time. When he stepped into the room, he saw Zhuo Donglai sitting in front of the window. tears.

In addition to deep pain, it turns out that happiness can also make people cry,

He was right in front of him, but Sima Chaoqun didn't know what to do, he just walked over and sat down gently beside him,

"I saw that letter." After all, he was not a calm person,

"Whatever it writes can't disturb my mind, because I knew about this matter earlier than Guo Qing."

"When?" Zhuo Donglai asked,

"When I let the water go, he used it as a bargaining chip for me to let him go."

"How much you hate me is justifiable, it's a matter of course. As long as you stay with me, it doesn't matter how much you hate me." Sima Chaoqun repeated what he said word by word.

Someone else walked in.When the old man appeared, Zhuo Donglai was surprised for a moment, and he immediately recognized that he was Gao Jianfei's master and the only remaining one of Ou Yezi's three apprentices.

Gao Shan was older and haggard than he remembered. Decades of secrets and illnesses had whitened his hair. Only the firm eyes on his thin cheeks could tell the difference between him and the two seniors.

In the duel in the Escort Bureau a few days ago, although Sima Chaoqun defeated Gao Jianfei, he did not kill him.Not only Sima Chaoqun saw the content of that letter, but Gao Jianfei also saw it.

"Then where is he now?" Zhuo Donglai frowned, he could already guess that the young man's mood at that time must not be much more relaxed than Sima Chaoqun.Although it was Sima Chaoqun's design, it was Gao Jianfei himself who actually killed Xiao Leixue in Honghuaji.

"It's all my fault," Gao Shan said suddenly, with regret and despair written all over his face, "When he and Sima Chaoqun came to me, I actually told him in a moment of confusion that according to the prophecy of the Sword of Tears, he He is the son of Xiao Leixue."

The moment he knew the truth, this proud young man was completely ruined. He couldn't accept that the person he personally killed was his father, nor could he accept the relationship between himself and Zhuo Donglai. This twisted reveal was already driving him crazy he.

"This secret should have followed me into the coffin forever," the old man coughed heavily, and looked at Zhuo Donglai with dry eyes, "he finally has a lot of blood with you. I am dying and I can't take care of you anymore." He, just let him stay with you in the big bodyguard bureau."

Zhuo Donglai nodded.

----------------------------------------

In the dark sky on New Year's Eve, there are stars beyond the stars, and the air is full of the special smell of saltpeter.The sound of crackling firecrackers on the street outside continued for several hours. The wind blew the red firecracker fragments from the closed iron gate into the backyard, dispersed them, and brought in new fragments.

The Escort Bureau has been very empty in recent days, and the bodyguards and servants have taken money back home to enjoy their rare and real reunion and happiness in a year.

Ping'er is already one year old, when he is able to stumble and walk, he is full of curiosity about all the bustle today, Die Wu took him to the street to watch the bustle for a long time and came back, at the moment he changed his clothes and put on a fur coat,

"The garnet red you're wearing today is so pretty,"

The words spoken by a fool are always the most sincere. Die Wu was a little embarrassed by Gao Jianfei's earnest eyes. Out of the corner of her eyes, she caught sight of Gao Jianfei's red hands from the cold, and silently stuffed him with a hand warmer.

The night sky of Chang'an City burst into the first ball of fireworks, and cheers came from every house on every long street.Zhuo Donglai was being pestered by Ping'er to eat oranges, Sima Chaoqun hurriedly picked one up from the plate, put it in his sleeve, peeled it off and handed it over after warming it up.From their faces, where can you still see the usual posture of people blocking and killing people, and Buddhas blocking and killing Buddhas?

All the people who heard the sound raised their heads together, and the trees and flowers lit up everywhere.

In the bustle and bustle, Zhuo Dong came to see Sima Chaoqun beside him, he was also smiling at himself, the sky was full of light shining on him, like a god in a painting.

Let the untold truths and secrets be silenced forever, after all, there are never happy endings.
