Bai Xuege's hands may not be clean.You have exhausted all your tricks, what will those martial arts righteousness give you?Who will regard you as a hero, and who will regard you as a gentleman?If there is any trouble, everyone will be suspicious of you first, because you can do such despicable things that betray the Lord, what can't you do? "

Ying Tianchang smiled and said, "Brother doesn't understand me at all. But this is also my fault. If I really let you understand me, how can I deceive you?"

Zhou Lingzi walked up to him, and gently raised his foot to step on his left arm.

A scream stuck in Ying Tianchang's throat, and cold sweat instantly flowed down like a waterfall.He almost fainted on the spot; but in vain, an even more piercing pain awoke him from his pain-induced stupor.

"...What did I say wrong?" Zhou Lingzi looked down at him, and said almost earnestly, as if seven years ago, as his elder brother, he often gave some old-fashioned teachings to this seemingly high-spirited young man. "...you don't even have a single friend."

The smile on the corner of Ying Tianchang's mouth intensified with the pain. "Do I have friends, what does it matter to you?"

With a "click", Ying Tianchang was sure that he heard the crisp sound of bones breaking.Zhou Lingzi knelt down and touched his eyelashes with his fingers, just when Ying Tianchang thought he was going to gouge out his eyeballs, he suddenly turned his head, Ying Tianchang's ears were filled with thunder, and the whole house seemed to shake.He could still hear Zhou Lingzi talking.Zhou Lingzi was still talking.

"You don't even need to ask, because you are sure that I will not kill you. But there are far more terrible things in the world than just death. I think you know this better than anyone else."

They were silent for a while; it had to be so, because Ying Tianchang's consciousness could no longer be maintained, and he slipped to the blurred boundary step by step.But he couldn't fall completely unconscious, or more luxuriously, sleep; it was too cold.

He never lied to Chu Changliao; he was always afraid of the cold.People who practice martial arts have internal energy to protect themselves, and his fear of the cold is more like a familiar illusion in his mind.But at this moment, his inner strength was gone, and he was covered with scars. Lying on the cold and wet brick floor, he couldn't even muster the strength to resist the cold, so he had to let the heat of his body drain away bit by bit.His back and the ground were almost glued together into a lifeless temperature.

He couldn't hear Zhou Lingzi's breathing when he fell asleep.He thought that Zhou Lingzi probably wouldn't be unable to fall asleep.Ying Tianchang has always been known for being cunning and clever, but right now he is lying here immobile, like a soft cloth bag, unable to pose any threat to anything.Zhou Lingzi didn't even have this bit of self-confidence.So it's probably just that he's really lifeless when he's asleep.

Like a dead man.

Wouldn't it be more terrifying to be guarded by the dead than to be guarded by the living?

Ying Tianchang lay down quietly.He cannot feel anything but cold.It may or may not be snowing outside the window.The sky gradually turned from dark to bright, although it was also the extremely gloomy bright color of winter.He lay there with his eyes open, as though he had no strength to close them.

When Zhou Lingzi got up to look at him, Ying Tianchang's eyes were completely lost, only a madman or a person who lost his mind would have that kind of look.Zhou Lingzi couldn't help laughing, although his smile was scarier than others crying.

"Are you so wronged? Who will you show me doing this?" He threw a wet cloth on Ying Tianchang's face, and kindly raised his arm for him. "What do you mean by showing my moves to that young man surnamed Yan?"

"I hope he's not dead." Ying Tianchang sighed, his fingers were as hard as iron and couldn't be bent at all.

"He's not dead. If you rely on him to stop me..." Zhou Lingzi looked at him strangely, as if looking at a stupid animal. "So what are you thinking? You refuse to expose me, but you still suspect me. Since you suspect me, you can't take precautions. Who can you save? Kongtong's death and injury are all your fault. You think they Will you let me rest?"

"Let's wait until I can wait until they collect the debt." Ying Tianchang said dryly.

Zhou Lingzi grabbed his still intact arm and dragged him up from the ground.Although he lost all his internal strength and his limbs were sore and limp, Ying Tianchang tried two steps and found that he could barely walk. "Where are we going?" He asked out of boredom, naturally there would be no further words.

Zhou Lingzi held him tightly, and the posture of that arm was almost intimate in human eyes, tightly holding half of his life in the palm of his hand.He knew that it was snowing outside without going out, and his teeth were already chattering for the cold in the future; but at this moment, what else could be his fault?

Shentu supported the ground with his knife, and slowly stood up.

The twirling just now was only for a moment. Although he couldn't recover his balance when he fell, he tried his best to make his feet touch the ground first and press his palms to the ground.It worked, and he suffered only minor scratches.

His mouth and nose were filled with the smell of dead dust.Everything in front of him was just darkness, making one wonder if he had opened his eyes.Shentu took out a torch from his pocket and lit it, only then did he see clearly where he was, it seemed to be a passage.

The passageway is more than ten feet high, and there is a dark square hole on the top, but no light penetrates in at all. It seems that when it fell, the cover outside the hole was covered.

Shentu touched the thousand-year-old ice-like walls on both sides, holding a fire bag, and walked forward carefully.

All he could hear were his own footsteps and the beating of his heart, as if walking in a grave.

A faint sigh suddenly came from not far away.

The hairs all over Shentu's body exploded.In the darkness, cold sweat had soaked his back.He shouted: "Who?"

"Boss Shen." The voice was barely audible. "it's me."

Shentu hesitated for a moment.In fact, he had just heard this voice just now, and the difference was less than half a moment, but this unexpected change had already given him the illusion that the sun and the moon were changing.He took a few steps forward and said, "Young Master Zhao?"

The faint light of Huo Zhe reflected the figure of a person.Or the shape of a wheelchair.

The person in the wheelchair was dressed in expensive clothes, but his face was as pale as paper, his bones were thin, and his eyes were sunken.Even a person who knows nothing about medicine can see that the life of this person is not long.It was Zhao Huayan, the current young master of the Huandao Zhao family.

He moved the wheelchair forward for a short distance, and said, "Seeing that Escort Shen is safe, I'm relieved."

"Fang is the young master..."

Zhao Huayan smiled wryly. "It's me. The head of the bodyguard made a good guess. The Zhao family has long since withered away. The people I saw in the hall just now, except for me, are all the Six Remnants and their henchmen."

Shentu was startled and said, "Six cripples? The six ruthless cripples in the rumors?"

Zhao Huayan said: "It's not completely disabled. Old without a wife is called a widow, old without a husband is called a widow, old without a son is called an orphan, and young without a father is called an orphan. Most of them have intact siblings, but they are all sinister and vicious. , a person with strange behavior. They broke in suddenly a few days ago, as the escort saw, I was powerless to fight back, and my only old servant was also killed by them. Later, I pretended to be a member of the Zhao family and waited for a rabbit, probably just to take care of When the security guard came here, he would specifically confirm my identity, and there was no way to pretend, so I was left to languish."

Shentu had already expected what he said, but he just didn't understand. "Then how can they force you to swallow your anger?"

Zhao Huayan shook his head and said: "What's there to swallow? They're trying to defeat the sword art, even if I die, what's the use of it. As long as the escort delivers the dart, it has nothing to do with who ends up in the hands of the escort. I only hope that everyone I was able to walk out of the Zhao family alive, so they asked me to cooperate, and I obeyed." He laughed a little self-deprecatingly. "But I didn't expect that Chief Shen was so cautious. Even though he knew that I was not a fake, he still realized that I was being hijacked and refused to hand over the bodyguard easily. I saw that Liu Can's patience was lost, and he would definitely snatch it in an instant. Activate the secret path mechanism. The entrance on the ground is limited, and the bodyguards are scattered. In a hurry, they can't all be rescued. If the head of the bodyguard doesn't forgive me, I have no choice but to..."

His cheekbones were frighteningly bright red, and his fingers gripping the wheelchair were twitching.Shentu looked at this young young master with mixed feelings in his heart.He never imagined that the offspring of Huan Dao would be such cowardly people.However, what Zhao Huayan did was indeed out of consideration for the safety of the Xinyuan Escort.

He couldn't help asking: "The six residuals are really so terrible?"

Zhao Huayan said: "Please don't be angry with the security guards. The Xinyuan Security Bureau will not be their opponent."

Shentu's heart sank.The secret path was only opened for a moment, and I don't know how many brothers fell with him.Several people did not enter the house at all, but just unloaded their cars and watched the horses outside.According to Zhao Huayan, since the six remnants are all on top, it seems that these few people are in danger.

Zhao Huayan said in a low voice: "Only I know how to activate this secret path mechanism, so it's safe for now. The most urgent thing is to find the bodyguard brothers who fell together. This secret path is also very high, if you don't guard against it for a while, you will hurt your arms and legs. There are also... It is my crime to implicate you all..."

Shentu said: "You have not committed any crime."

He strode forward and handed a volume to Zhao Huayan.Zhao Huayan looked down at the book in his hand, then looked up at Shentu, two tiny flames danced in his pupils.

"If you can't deliver the bodyguard to me safely, then it's the bodyguard's fault!"

Zhao Huayan smiled.This melancholy young man suffering from serious illness must have not smiled for a long time, so this smile on his too thin face is as moving as the little bit of clear moisture when the surface of the ice begins to melt.

"Thank you, Chief Shen."
