devil may cry

Chapter 79. Choice

The two walked all the way to the middle hall, and before they got close, they saw heavy guards outside the hall, and Ji Chaoxing brought Bei Mingyan in smoothly.

Prince Qingyun didn't come to the Pumice Club very often, and he happened to win a lottery once. This time, there were enough events at the Pumice Club. The emperor was not at ease, and asked him to bring many guards.

Outside the door, they saw the members of the Ji family. Apart from the people they knew, Bei Mingyan also met an unexpected person.

The girl was lazily leaning against the wall, lowering her head and flicking the white snow with the tip of her shoe.

Ji Chaoxing greeted his family, and Bei Mingyan walked over: "Master Zhu."

This person is the big shopkeeper of the Xuanhu Pawn Shop, Zhu Yankai.

He was a little surprised to see Zhu Yankai, but Zhu Yankai didn't realize it when he saw him, and shouted sharply: "Hey, Xiaoyan. Long time no see!"

As early as when she was in Wutang Town, she had heard her call herself "Xiaoyan", but this title was only used by elders, such as master, parents, uncles and aunts.

Bei Mingyan said: "Yes. I didn't expect to see Shopkeeper Zhu in Liancheng Division."

As soon as he said this, Zhu Yankai became very angry: "I heard Ji Huo said that you are really mean, you are a big son. You just left without saying anything, and you lied to me that your name is Yan Yangchen. You're going to talk nonsense!"

Bei Mingyan rubbed his nose: "It doesn't count... Yangchen is my nickname, and my name is Bei Mingyan."

"Of course I know, you are my opponent!"

"what?"

"Don't be nervous, I'm talking about pharmaceuticals!" Zhu Yankai patted him on the shoulder: "When will you take me to your house, I want to see the herbs you grow."

All kinds of exotic flowers and herbs are the necessary materials for refining poison, and they are also pharmaceutical materials. The so-called heaven and hell are like this.

Bei Mingyan said: "Well...Actually, I finished the fire before I went down the mountain."

"what?!"

Zhu Yankai yelled, attracting everyone's attention, but she ignored it: "Are you crazy?"

"No."

"I think you are crazy. Do you know how much Zhongzhou is asking you for a passion grass?"

She compared her hands in her sleeves, and gently pulled Bei Mingyan's hand, Bei Mingyan was startled: "No way?"

To be honest, he didn't expect it, and he was not short of money.

Zhu Yan smiled triumphantly, as if she had such an achievement, and said softly: "Black market."

"Is this forbidden by law?"

"So you know it?"

While staring at Bei Mingyan with ignorant eyes, she kept saying, "Violence, violence! It's simply violence!"

But Bei Mingyan didn't feel distressed, and asked with a smile: "Why is shopkeeper Zhu here?"

"I was tricked into coming here," Zhu Yankai hummed, "What about you?"

"Use the road to go north, go back... go home and have a look."

"Oh, I heard that a lot of things have happened to Lian Chengsi recently, are you all right?"

"It's okay, don't worry."

"Well, after all, you are also the eldest son of the Beiming family, so you must be fully protected, right?"

Bei Mingyan thought for a while, the martial arts lord was always by his side, so it really couldn't be more considerate: "Yes."

"I know you are powerful, but I still didn't expect that you have such a strong relationship with the leader of the martial arts."

"Hmm... shopkeeper Zhu, just now you said you were tricked, what's going on?"

Zhu Yan said with a dark face: "It's not the emperor's dead man!!"

Bei Mingyan covered her mouth with his hand: "Hush!"

At any rate, there are Jinyiwei all around now, so beware of misfortune coming out of your mouth!

"What are you afraid of?" Zhu Yankai said arrogantly, "I dare to say what he dares to do! Xiaoyan, do you know? This person is the most untrustworthy, for example, you have lied to me for a long time..."

Bei Mingyan said helplessly: "Master Zhu..."

"Ahem, okay. That's it. Isn't there a temple fair in Zhongzhou recently? I was bored in Lingnan. It happened that a few days ago, the emperor sent his people to announce me and told me to go to Zhongzhou to visit Lord Qingyun. coming."

"It turned out to be lying to me! Don't laugh!!"

Bei Mingyan couldn't help laughing: "It's a pity."

The temple fair was only half a month old, and it was already over when Zhu Yan came.

Bei Mingyan understood this feeling very well.

"He was afraid that King Qingyun would be injured accidentally, so he asked me to follow him in case of emergency! Bah, that's too much!"

"I didn't expect shopkeeper Zhu to be so powerful. The emperor trusts you very much."

"cut."

The two chatted for a while, and Bei Mingyan learned something about Yan Kai's inn from Zhu Yankai, knowing that Qingyu and Yang Yang had opened the inn, although there were still few people, but there was nothing to do.

"As long as they are fine, I left in such a hurry that I didn't even have time to say goodbye."

I only wrote a few letters back, and sometimes I still feel a little uneasy.

"They're all right, everyone's neighbors. I left Shishen behind when I came out this time, helping to look after them."

"Then thank you shopkeeper Zhu."

"It's okay, Xiaoyan," Zhu Yankai looked behind him, "That can't be Ji Chaoxing, can it?"

Bei Mingyan turned his head: "It's Chaoxing."

"Why do you always have people like this around you? It was Xiao Yan before, and Ji Chaoxing was even more difficult to deal with."

"Shopkeeper Zhu also knows Chao Xing?"

"Ji Huo's younger brother has a bad temper."

"Yes, but kindly."

"It's true, hey, didn't Xiao Yan come with you? And that Ayun?"

"They went to Bi Luo Country."

"Hmm...Xiao Yan, did you forget something important?"

Bei Mingyan said: "What's wrong?"

"Ji Chaoxing has been staring at you, and his face is ugly."

When they walked into the hall, Ji Chaoxing took the opportunity to scold him, thinking that he talked too much, thought he was too busy, thought he had many acquaintances, and thought he was not serious.Dislike this and that, there is nothing not to dislike.

Bei Mingyan agreed one by one without distraction.

At this moment, Xue Luoqian and Xue Yaoshan were studying the Devil Weeping Sword together, when they suddenly heard the small noise of someone outside, turned around and saw the two of them walking in.

Ji Chaoxing glanced at it, his eyes were straightened: "My god Devil May Cry Sword!!"

Bei Mingyan gave him a strange look.

The grandparents of the Xue family also looked at him strangely.

"Can I... can I have a look?"

Xue Yaoshan handed it to him: "Look...you can take a look."

Ji Chaoxing then left Bei Mingyan and stopped talking to him.

Xue Luoqian walked up to him and tied the cloak straps for him.

"Where's your lord?"

"In the backyard."

"Oh, that……"

"I'll take you to see Xie Liang."

"……it is good."

"I will accompany you."

"Ah."

"Ayan," Xue Luoqian looked at Bei Mingyan's docile appearance, hesitated to speak, "No matter what you choose for a while, I will stand by your side."

"Ah."

Xie Liang was imprisoned in Lianchengsi's prison. It was said to be a prison, but it was actually a simple detention room. It was just an ordinary room, and several guards took turns watching it.

When Bei Mingyan and Xue Luoqian arrived, there were already people there.

Xie Liang was indifferent to Bei Mingyi's words, he sat on a bed, his eyes were covered with a black cloth, and he remained motionless.

Bei Mingyan whispered, "His eyes?"

"Resistance in the corner."

Bei Mingyan's heart shuddered, but he didn't speak.

Seeing that they were coming, both Bei Mingyi and Huo Shenfang stepped aside: "Brother...Brother Xie Liang, he has been..."

There is no need for him to say more, he has been silent for more than ten days.

Ask him nothing and don't answer anything, and don't say anything to him.

Bei Mingyan stood in front of the cell, not knowing what to say.

"Brother Xie Liang, big brother is here..."

Still no answer.

Bei Mingyan suddenly said: "Shen Fang, take Yi'er back, I... want to have a few words with him alone."

Bei Mingyi and Xie Liang are siblings, both sons of his uncle, and Bei Mingyi is innocent, so there are some things that Bei Mingyan doesn't want him to hear.

Huo Shen conveniently took Bei Mingyi and left, leaving him and Xue Luoqian behind.

"I heard that you went to Beishan to kill Yu'er."

"Is it because of the sand on his forehead?"

For some reason, Xie Liang said, "I said no, do you believe me?"

Bei Mingyan paused: "I believe."

The person inside moved slightly, and Bei Mingyan looked away: "It's just the sand on the forehead, it's just the next person appointed by the imperial court, and the jade sanctuary is not on him."

"..." Xie Liang lowered his head lightly.

"It's not with me either, I have returned him to Master."

Xie Liang said: "Brother, you are really extraordinary."

"Everyone wants something."

"Oh?" Xie Liang smiled a little: "Presumably the elder brother has already got what he asked for?"

"Then do you know my brother's state of mind that I can't get what I want?"

"You can't get what you want? Let me ask you, can He Weizhai's family interfere with what you want? Why do you kill all five members of your family, young and old?"

"Mengling's Yang family, Nantong Cheng's family, Quyuebai's family... all interfere with what you want? Is it because they can't get it?"

"Of course," Xie Liang said softly, "I need money, medicinal materials, and ironware. I just make a deal with them. Who told them not to?"

"Thank you Liang, you..."

"Brother, are you going to preach to me again?"

Bei Mingyan was silent for a while, and said, "Who is the suzerain of the Jade Blood Sect? Where is he?"

Although I knew it was useless to ask Xie Liang.Sure enough, Xie Liang laughed and said: "Who is he, he has a thousand faces. Brother, don't bother yourself."

Xie Liang had seen at least seven or eight appearances of the suzerain in Jade Blood Sect, and he was not sure which one was the real him.

The suzerain is proficient in disguise.

"Where is Fengshan?"

"Isn't it sold by me? Haha."

Bei Mingyan turned and left.

Xie Liang was stunned for a moment, and then the sound of footsteps gradually faded away and shouted: "Brother, I am so disgusting to you? You don't even want to say a word to me? Haha, it's also..."

Can't hear what's behind.

Xue Luoqian followed up: "What is Ayan going to do?"

Shen Mujing, Mu Yuntian, Wang Ningmo and Liang Guangyue.

Shenmulou, Xichang, Fushan Wangjia and Liufanmen.

Someone must take responsibility for a murder case. Xie Liang, as a member of the Jade Blood Sect, coupled with his past actions, is the best candidate to take responsibility for this matter.

No one would doubt this result, even Xie Liang's younger brother Bei Mingyi would not object too much.

But Xue Luoqian felt that Bei Mingyan would, and that was the choice he mentioned just now.

It is precisely because Bei Mingyan has been bound by "something not done" that he hesitates.

If Xie Liang was charged with the death of these four people and handed over to the imperial court by Secretary Liancheng, the death of Liang Guangyue with only six doors would be a capital crime, let alone having a Xichang.

"I won't save him."
