Demolition

"This is really delicious!" Ye Ji was called by Lu Chen to the roof to watch the night view in the middle of the night. His mouth was filled with the snacks brought by Lu Chen, and he shouted contentedly. Lu Chen looked at him and suddenly thought of something yes, by the way

"Why didn't Jiang come with you?"

"He has something to do, so I have to be alone."

"The next time we go out for a drink together, it feels like I haven't seen him for a long time."

"Ah, so to speak, it's been more than two months."

"It feels like we haven't seen each other for more than a month since we met."

"Hey!" Ye Ji's eyes widened in surprise, "It seems to be true, don't tell me I haven't realized it yet!"

"You really shouldn't realize it." Lu Chen nodded.

"what?"

"Have we known each other for ten years?"

"Well... why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"

"It's just that I have nothing to do during this period, so I recalled what happened before." Lu Chen looked at Ye Ji and said with a smile, "Actually, it seems that I owe you a thank you all the time.

"What...thank you?" Ye Ji looked confused.

"When I was still studying, you taught those people a lesson for me."

"Ah, that's all trivial. It's nothing to say about helping. Achen, why are you so polite? Then I won't be ashamed to ask you for help in the future."

Although Lu Chen's smile was extremely sincere and hearty, Ye Ji couldn't help but feel chills down his spine. He twitched the corners of his mouth and asked

"Achen, what do you want to say?"

"I want to say thank you, but there's no need to say it now." Ye Ji looked at him nervously, and Lu Chen lowered his head, avoiding his gaze, "Because it has been offset by your 'sorry'."

"What, what?" Ye Ji stood up with a 'boom', the food in his hands fell all over the floor, he patted his clothes stiffly, and stammered, "What's my 'sorry'? What are you talking about?" ah?"

Lu Chen was completely different from his panic, and instead smiled and helped him clean up the mess,

"Look at you, why are you nervous?"

"I," Ye Ji swallowed his saliva, and said with a firm voice, "I'm not nervous."

"Even if I know, I won't say anything. You don't have to worry. You see, Zhongtian and I can get along very well. We have been friends for so many years, and I don't care who you are."

"You, what are you talking about? Zhongtian? Ah, Zhongtian, is Zhongtian easy to get along with? He obviously doesn't speak..." Ye Ji spoke incoherently, and was fixed in place by Lu Chen's eyes in a panic , he didn't dare to move, with a flattering expression on his face, "Ah Chen?"

"Ah Chen? Why did you call me by my name? You shouldn't call me," Lu Chen said word by word, "Master, sir?"

two days ago

Lu Chen searched Ying Yuanzhi's study for a long time, but he didn't see his own paper or other things. He was very unwilling, but he knew that he couldn't delay any longer. He wanted to sneak out like this quietly. Before leaving, he turned back in a strange way: he wanted to see his sword.Ying Yuanzhi placed the sword box in such a big way, which means that the sword is not within his defense range, and there will be no bad consequences if he moves it by himself. Thinking this way, Lu Chen opened the sword box .

The sword body was glowing with silver light, and the scabbard restrained its murderous aura, but at that moment, Lu Chen noticed the difference in what he had seen thousands of times.Lu Chen couldn't tell exactly what the difference was, but he felt that he hadn't touched it for a long time, and there was a sense of strangeness and a sense of sacredness, as if as long as he picked up this sword, he could conquer the world.

This intuition is not groundless. When Lu Chen carefully held the hilt of the sword, the power that had been surging in his body for many days finally found an outlet, and it rushed towards the sharp blade in a short time. It is quite different from the state of sudden instability under a large amount of true energy. It seems to have found a long-lost companion, and quickly blended with this force, and even aroused a low-pitched sword cry.

Lu Chen was stunned by the faint trembling and powerful induction from his hands. At that moment, all the accumulations and heaviness in his mind were swept away, and his five senses seemed to be aided by gods. With a movement of his ears, he could even hear the sound of Fuyaqian Street. Bargaining between vendors and passers-by.He opened his eyes in shock, and found that some of the furnishings in the house had changed, surrounded by large and small gray mist.Lu Chen froze in place for a full moment, until he found that the fog gradually dissipated as the sword body gradually calmed down, and the noisy voice in his ears also disappeared half, did he realize that this was just a short-term skill, although these He didn't know what the fog represented, but he immediately rushed to the place where the fog was thickest.

I thought it was something that I had taken away when I opened it, but I didn't expect it to be a stack of secret reports.It was full of one person's handwriting. Lu Chen often read and even imitated the handwriting. If he hadn't read it for almost ten years, he couldn't tell from the content that it was written by Ye Ji. It was clear and concise. Lu Chen My first reaction turned out to be: This kid actually lied to me to write so many reports for him!Then he knelt and sat on the ground a little stupidly.Lu Chen still doesn't understand why these secret reports are the most foggy, is it because he cares the most?Or because of being blinded for the longest time?Or was it because of this unexpected betrayal?

What would it be like if you woke up one day and found that everything that happened to you from the day you were born was pre-arranged?Lu Chen felt that there was a dense net covering his head, leaving only a gap enough to survive, and the remaining space made him feel suffocated from time to time.

He used to always say that Ye Ji was stupid, thinking that this one was stupid and that one was stupid, but in fact he was the only one who didn't have a brain.The obvious evidence was blatantly placed under his nose, and he was able to turn a blind eye for so many years. The evidence should be quite aggrieved.

His last two words obviously frightened Ye Ji very much. Lu Chen felt that he could kneel down in front of him in a second and really call him "Master". Forcibly supporting himself, the corners of his mouth revealed a forced arc, just as he was about to say something, Lu Chen snapped back.

"Where did your Linjia knife come from?"

Ye Ji opened his mouth and couldn't say a word, Lu Chen pressed on step by step

"You obviously saw me before I fell into a coma, why did you lie?"

"Who is that man with me?"

The two were at a stalemate, Ye Ji was full of guilt and fear, but Lu Chen was ruthless.

"Achen..."

"I said, you should call me young master like everyone else."

"I'm not……"

"What are you not? Didn't you deliberately contact me from the Yin Xiao class? Wasn't it the eyeliner sent by Ying Yuanzhi to monitor me? You are just a merchant, why do you have the ancient magic sword Linjia?"

Ye Ji was speechless, every word was obviously questioning the other party, but Lu Chen felt that every word was cruel.Everyone betrayed their relatives, I have already suffered from "relatives and separation", and I have been careful every step of the way, why did I still encounter betrayal.He had always thought that he had never considered Ye Ji as his best friend, but after counting, he turned out to be the only friend like him!If he is a bad person, then that's all. It's over if he earnestly persuades him to change his ways. However, he is a spy that his closest people painstakingly planted by his side.

The first time they drew their swords to help each other, the later they treated each other honestly, and the ten years of friendship were all fake!

Ye Ji was stunned by his series of roars and remained motionless, his eyes were as red as rabbits for a while, and he murmured

"I did not lie to you."

"The Linjia knife is mine. I'm not someone's eyeliner. I, I don't know what to do. Don't blame me, don't blame me, okay?"

Ye Ji held back the tears rolling in his eyes, and looked at him eagerly, Lu Chen asked him coldly

"If it wasn't for the eyeliner, why did you write a secret report telling him that I was traveling with one person, leaving Anqing Mansion, and fleeing to the north?"

"you!"

"Why, do you still want to quibble?"

"I, I don't know, you know? You shouldn't have seen it."

"What you said didn't lie to me, but just kept me in the dark, right?"

"It's not like this!" Ye Ji blushed, but he couldn't tell why.Since Lu Chen knew that Ye Ji had been reporting to Ying Yuanzhi, he was extremely disappointed.In a hurry, he only saw the topmost text, but the truth had already been revealed above.He was indeed injured while fighting against the crow plague in Anqing Mansion, but his amnesia had nothing to do with the injury. Before that, he left Anqing Mansion and entered the northern border with a person he didn't remember.Lu Chen knew that that person was what he was looking for in his dream, and that person was all his lost memories.

"Achen, I really have no other choice." Ye Ji finally cried out in Lu Chen's silence, "I want to keep Linjia, I can't lose Xiaoye!"

"what?"

"It's all my fault, don't blame me! Don't ignore me!" Ye Ji cried out of breath as if he had been wronged.

"What happened to Jiang Ye? Tell me clearly!" Lu Chen grabbed his shoulders to stabilize his body and forced him to ask.

"Don't ask me, don't ask me, I don't know anything, I can't say anything." Ye Ji held his head in his hands in fear, talking nonsense.

Lu Chen was shocked and grabbed his hand, forcing him to raise his head.

"Tell me what happened!"

Ye Ji stared at him unfocused, and Lu Chen's calm emotion infected him. After a long time, Ye Ji finally relaxed, and whispered helplessly.

"They took Xiaoye away. If I don't help them, Xiaoye will die, and Linjia will be taken away."

"Yes, is it Sakura Yuanzhi?"

Ye Ji nodded slowly.Lu Chen trembled involuntarily. He bit the tip of his tongue. The smell of blood temporarily made him suppress his emotions. He said to Ye Ji as softly as possible.

"Tell me slowly what happened."

"After you left, the commander-in-chief of the imperial army took over the capital. Many places we used to patrol were banned, and the few murders I knew were also suppressed. Xiaoya told me not to meddle in my own business. I can't find it if you are not here." People say that they have to live with their tails between their legs.”

"Last month, Xiao Ye was sent out by the emperor to look for something. Xiao Ye didn't trust me, so he took me with him. We met you and Brother Shen in Shangrao City."

"Brother Shen?"

"Well, you said that he is your cousin, whose surname is Shen, but I don't quite remember what his name is."

Lu Chen frowned, motioning for him to continue

"The four of us encountered a large group of crazy crow-removing people outside the city of Shangrao, and then separated from you. Xiao also didn't find what Dijun was looking for. Dijun was furious and punished him severely. I was so scared No, the third prince's people found me at this time. He said he could help me rescue Xiao Ye, but there was one condition, that is, to tell them what happened in Shangrao. I agreed in a moment of impatience." Ye Ji Hastily added, "I only said what the emperor asked us to do, I didn't say that I met you." Ye Ji saw Lu Chen nodded before continuing

"But they rescued Xiao Ye, but put him under house arrest. They said that Xiao Ye committed a serious crime. If I don't help them, Xiao Ye will die too."

"Aside from failing to fulfill the emperor's orders, did Jiang also commit any crimes?"

"Well, he stole my Linjia."

"what?"

"Jiang also used my Linjia to dissect more than 20 crows."

"what!"

"What I saw with my own eyes was indeed done by Lin Jia."

"But why?"

"I don't know, I haven't seen him, but Linjia only obeys him except me."

"and then?"

"Later, I was sent to Anqing Mansion. On the surface, I came to inspect the military defense. In fact, I placed the crow's inner alchemy in the city according to the order of the third prince. It was a good time to bring the defending army to the city. Walk more than half, and make Anqing Mansion an empty city."

"You mean, crow?" Lu Chen couldn't believe it.

"Yes, but I really didn't expect that one inner alchemy could attract tens of thousands of crows, and I also didn't expect you to be in Anqing Mansion."

"Then me?"

"You led the crowd to resist the crow's attack. Fortunately, the crow did not cause any damage in the end, but you were injured."

"What hurt me?"

Ye Ji dodged his gaze for a moment before replying

"Sword wound."

"Sword wound?"

"Well, I asked General Ren to do it."

"you!"

"Don't blame me! I was obsessed with ghosts for a while, and Ren Yuan was watching my every move. I was afraid that if I didn't succeed, they would not let Xiaoye go! I wanted to save you secretly at that time, but your cousin One step faster than me."

"And after that?"

"I don't know the details of what happened after that. I guess Ren Yuan wanted to kill you, but you escaped. We lost you. We only know that you went to the north."

What Ye Ji said really shocked Mrs. Lu Chen, he didn't know how to face such a situation.The night of the crow attack was full of flames of war, and the people of a city were in danger, but these were actually what Ying Yuanzhi did.

Why he did this is easy to see at a glance. How long has he been setting up this game?Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Ren Qi is a member of Ying Yuanzhi. When he recommended Ren Yuan, he used the name of the sect to make Emperor Ying let go of his doubts and argue with the sixth prince whether to send troops. He called out Yangyue city to control the defense, lured Ye Ji to spy on the emperor's intentions to monitor himself, and finally used the inner alchemy to frame and frame the sixth prince with countless innocent lives.It's a pity that Ying Yuanzhi's thousands of calculations didn't count, and he turned out to be the one who messed up his good move.

Cherry far away, cherry far away.Lu Chen recited the name silently. He knew that he longed for that position, and knew that he would do everything possible, but he never expected that that person would be so desperate.In his impression, Ying Yuanzhi was the one who taught him how to write, read poems to him, and played the piano for him. He was the one who included all his beautiful past. Indulging in his waywardness, the gentleman standing under the cherry blossoms left more things in his mind than a cruel prince.When did I not understand him at all?Why?Is it greed, wanting the world to crawl under his feet, wanting to remove all obstacles in the way, stepping on corpses to reach the pinnacle of power, is this the true face of Ying Yuanzhi?

What about yourself?Is the self who is still alive now useful to him?
