Jianghu chaos

"My lord, a letter was found on the body of that surnamed Duan next door."

"Bring it up."

Ruan Xi woke up in a daze, the voices of a man and a woman were speaking far and near, and the rustling sound of paper turning seemed to be in his ears, pulling him out of the endless darkness.

The head is still groggy, the consciousness seems to be not clear, the brain hurts dullly, it is obvious that the head has not been hit, but it is still about to explode, like a hangover, or the residual effect of a drug that has been dazed .

Um?medicine?Ruan Xi sat up in a jerk, and touched his neck with his hand, and sure enough, he felt a shallow scar on the side of the pulse, and it would have killed him if it was a few minutes away or a few minutes deeper.

There was another person lying beside him, whose injuries were much more severe than his. The golden sunset dart hit his right shoulder, and his whole arm lay limply on the ground. Although it had been bandaged, there were deep and shallow bloodstains on his clothes. It was still shocking, dripping all the way to the chest, and one could guess how deep the wound was just by looking at the blood.

Xie Chaohan also just woke up, he moved slightly, but was gasped by the pain from the wound on his right shoulder, his whole body twitched unconsciously, and he quickly restrained it.

"Brother Xie!" Ruan Xi rushed to check his wound, "The wound is a bit deep, and I don't know if it's poisonous, so don't move around!"

"It's not poisonous." Another voice said lightly, "It's just some medicine that prevents the recovery from being cured."

Ruan Xi didn't expect that the man was still there, so he suddenly raised his head and looked over. In the dimly lit room, the man was hidden in the shadow of the lamp, his face flickering: "Ming Yuan——!"

Xie Chaohan propped himself up bit by bit, with a complicated look on his face.

The man turned his face: "Brother Xie, you have something to say."

"Stop pretending!" Ruan Xi became excited, "Do you think you can fool everyone by changing your appearance like Brother Shangguan?! I can tell at a glance, you don't want to pretend to be a false name! I've seen through you, what's the point of you still pretending! Using Brother Shangguan's face really humiliated him!"

"Heh..." Ming Yuan laughed out two breaths, and then looked at him strangely, "Do you really know what kind of person Shangguan Yun is? Do you really understand? He is not mean, hypocritical, or inferior. How much do you know about him, how much do you know about him?"

"Don't splash him with dirty water!" Ruan Xi jumped up angrily, "Of course he is more upright and chivalrous than you! Even if you can learn his appearance, you can't learn his character and demeanor. Everyone will see that, You will never reach your goal!"

Ming Yuan sneered and turned his face to Xie Chaohan.

Xie Chaohan was silent for a long time, and finally hoarse, he uttered three words with difficulty: "Brother Shangguan."

Ming Yuan's slanted mouth finally stopped being so mocking.

Ruan Xi was still yelling loudly: "Brother Xie, don't be fooled by him! How could Brother Shangguan have anything to do with Sunset City, and how could he attack you! He must have been watching us and learned how to do plum three needles. It's not too difficult!"

"That's enough, Ruan Xi." Xie Chaohan closed his eyes and smiled wryly, "See clearly."

Ruan Xi only felt a biting chill hit the back of his head, making him stagger back a few steps uncontrollably, and roared almost heart-piercingly: "See what, isn't it clear enough! Brother Xie, are you confused by his medicine?" Yet?!"

Ming Yuan loosened his fingers holding the letter, and the letter paper floated leisurely to the ground. With the light in the room, he could vaguely make out the extremely simple sentence on it—be careful Shangguan.

"When did you find out?" Ming Yuan asked softly.

Xie Chaohan bowed his head and laughed self-deprecatingly: "I'd rather never find out."

"You and I have known each other for many years, and I know exactly how you run the village. Back then...after the old owner of Shangguan left, you were still young, and you didn't even have any distant relatives. Scattered and scattered, leaving only some loyal servants and old people. The big families remembered the old owner's kindness on the surface, and took care of you a lot, but in fact, they were all watching for an opportunity to embezzle you. How many other people were there in the villa at that time? The eyeliner sent by the door turned the 'Baichuan Villa' into a 'hundreds' of villas, everyone can point fingers, but Shangguan's family can't speak - Luoyingmen also intervened in it, and I came at that time Here, brother Shangguan I met."

Ruan Xi was stunned, and suddenly remembered the words Mei Qian once said, "Hundreds of rice is not so easy to eat."

Xie Chaohan was still talking slowly: "The first time I saw you, you were only ten years old, and you are already as mature and dignified as you are now. No matter how polite you are to everyone, you know how to measure, and you will not be angry when others make fun of you. He looks gentle and courteous. My father told me in secret that the boy from the Shangguan family is either a fool or a wimp, or he is a dragon and phoenix, and his future is limitless... Sure enough, after five years, you will take back the family property from all the major sects by yourself , officially took over Baichuan Villa. Since then, every time I come here, I will find that it is different from previous years, but in a few years, the entire villa has been returned to you from top to bottom, inside and out, the eyeliner left by "Baijia" The nails were pulled out one by one by you calmly, and you learned from all the major sects in a daze. When they reacted, you were no longer the child who let them round and flatten you back then. You are enough to be equal to them, or even better point."

"The guard of Baichuan Villa was rebuilt by you alone. You can't hide any disturbances from you on weekdays, and you are the most aware of where the weak points are. As long as you have the heart, you will be able to guard the villa like an iron wall. People from Sunset City appear again and again. I already found it strange, but after all, Hua Ru practiced lightness kung fu very well, so it is not impossible for her to go in and out alone... It’s all right for Guan Shanyue later on. But Wan Qing's family letter appeared in my room."

"The person who sent the letter actually knew which room I lived in, and was able to deliver a letter without anyone noticing it." Xie Chaohan sneered and shook his head, "Besides, you were the one who helped me send my family away that day, and it was you My confidant, the location is the other courtyard that you have repeatedly promised me to be absolutely secret. At that time, I wondered if there was a traitor around you, and worried that someone was spying on you and trying to plot against you... But Wan Qing’s family letter was too ordinary, too It's normal, it doesn't look like being coerced at all, it's like someone reminded her to report to her brother that she's safe, a letter that couldn't be more normal and reasonable."

"Wan Qing is not from the rivers and lakes. She has never been out of Luoyingmen since she grew up. She is quiet and timid. In addition, she has encountered great changes, and she will not trust others casually. She is familiar with the unsuspecting, except for Mei Qian. Only you—even Ruan Xi may not count.”

Ming Yuan nodded: "Wan Qing is an obedient girl. Is that all?"

Xie Chaohan was silent for a moment, then continued with difficulty: "I went to ask Miss Hua, you gave her the Spiritual Rhinoceros Gu that Mei Qian used to perform the kung fu for me."

Huamantang is located in Yangzhou, and the orthodox path of the Central Plains is used for outpatients and pharmacies on weekdays, and the Gu poison comes from Miaojiang.That pair of rhinoceros Gu was obtained by Shangguan Yun, who had "experienced extensively", by "chance coincidence". He did not choose to send Hua Luan, but Hua Juyue. Misunderstand".

"You have always known what Hua Luan is doing, and you have always known his intentions. Hua Luan borrowed a knife to kill someone, and you borrowed a knife to kill someone." Xie Chaohan's eyes were red, and he paused, "I always thought that my father's poison was caused by Hua Luan for Jane. Ling Hanken... It just occurred to me the day before yesterday that the poison just restrained the marigold lotus, and the marigold lotus was a gift from Hua Luan, so it was too easy to think about it. With Hua Luan's cautious temperament, it shouldn't even have a cover... And you, not only Knowing that Hua Luan sent a plant, and knowing that Ruan Xi has a whole bag of marigolds!"

Ming Yuan, or Shangguan Yun, walked slowly in front of him step by step, looked down at him from a high position, and said, "It's me."

"It was me who instigated Jian Ling to make a big fuss at the opening ceremony, spread rumors to confuse public opinion, expose Xie Tianci at the promotion meeting, and completely smash Luoyingmen."

"I was the one who used Hua Luan to kill Qin Miaoyin and poisoned Cao Lu."

"It was I who deliberately provoked Mingge to make Yan Wuya ambush earlier, and kill two birds with one stone."

"As soon as Yuexing Mountain came out of Baichuan Villa, it fell into Wei Yang's hands. The so-called search of Luoyang is just a deception."

"Even the kidnapping on the streets of Doufubao was arranged by me to attract Brother Mei's suspicion; the blind girl in the teahouse in Zhehua Lane in Bianzhou was also facilitated by me and led you to investigate for the purpose of eradicating Hua Luan. "

Xie Chaohan clenched his fists and murmured, "Enough is enough..."

Shangguan Yun seemed to have never heard of it, as if thinking of something interesting, he said to himself: "Jian Ling's sword technique was also corrected by me according to Xie Tianci's sword intent."

"Enough!" Xie Chaohan gritted his teeth and interrupted him, "You...enough..."

"Brother Xie..." Shangguan Yun smiled lightly, looking no different from the past, "Since you guessed it, why did you take the risk?"

"I..." Xie Chaohan closed his eyes, and squeezed out a broken sentence from between his teeth, "I... I just... want to gamble..."

Bet on this life, bet on what if, what if, it's not him?

"Heh...hehe...hahahaha..." Xie Chaohan suppressed his laughter and let out a long and short sound, which resembled the dying struggle when he was strangled by the throat, "Brother Shangguan, you really...really... As expected of you..."

Shangguan Yun looked at him coldly: "You lost the bet."

Xie Chaohan knelt on the ground, his clenched fists firmly supporting the ground: "You brought me here... for Mei Qian?"

Shangguan Yun nodded calmly: "That's right. Others only know one thing about Brother Mei, and it's not an exaggeration to say that Ling Shuang Tread Xue and Feng Yue Zhi Yu are unique in the world. I don't pay attention to others. Only Mei Shangxue, if I don't have some hole cards in my hand, I really can't feel at ease."

"..." Xie Chaohan said in a low voice, "Mei Qian is not a fool, I guessed it, and he can guess it too."

Shangguan Yun only hooked the corners of his lips, but did not answer.

"Wan Qing...and my parents..." Xie Chaohan raised his eyes, "Where are they?"

"Brother Xie, don't worry, I didn't kill them before, I just didn't want to kill them." Shangguan Yunshu let out a sigh of relief, as if he was much more relaxed after removing the disguise, "Once things are done, I will naturally let them go."

It's done... Ruan Xi, who stayed for a long time, finally recovered from the shock, and rushed over, "What do you want to do! You..."

Shangguan Yun restrained him easily: "Brother Ruan, don't do unnecessary things."

That face is so close at hand, he has never observed it so carefully before, every texture on the skin, every blood vein is clear and real, slightly undulating with breathing, just like the ones he has seen before .

Before today, this skin was still the person he trusted the most. It was a copy of all the heroes he had read since he was young. .

how can that be possible……

Ruan Xi was restrained, neither struggling nor resisting, just staring blankly at him, the gradually reddened eyes revealed not anger and hatred, but genuine bewilderment.

"how is this possible……"

Isn't there no balance between good and evil?Isn't it blood feud?Brother Shangguan, why did he become Ming Yuan?

Shangguan Yun seemed to suddenly soften his heart, and sighed faintly: "Why don't I tell you a story."
