Juvenile Tour [Jian San Yang Hua Tibetan Tang Dynasty]

Four two. Brothers

Qutang Gorge is not empty.

It was already late at night, and there was silence in the stronghold. Haoqi disciples in twos and threes patrolled back and forth with long knives in their hands.To the west of the meeting hall, the main room where the commander is located is still lit. Chu Yangqiu is sitting at the table reading a stack of battle reports, and rubbing his forehead from time to time.Suddenly he heard someone knocking lightly on his door: "Brother, it's me."

"Come in."

Chu Yangqiu put down his pen and raised his voice.Even if it was his younger brother who came, he carefully put the documents on the desktop aside.Chu Loufeng pushed the door open and entered, and said in a low voice, "Brother."

"Come and sit," Chu Yangqiu got up, pulled away the chair beside the table, and poured another cup of tea for him, "Why haven't you slept yet?"

"There's something I want to talk to my brother about."

Chu Loufeng sat down opposite him, reached for the teacup, and took a sip of the tea inside, but seemed a little absent-minded.Chu Yangqiu nodded when he heard the words: "I also have something to ask you." Without waiting for Chu Loufeng to answer, he continued, "Before you were caught by Pei Taiyue at the Longmen Inn, and then you gained his trust The Valley of the Wicked, and the subsequent design that caused both Tang Ruhui and Qin Si to lose out—you planned all of these early in the morning?"

"No," Chu Loufeng replied softly with his head down, "Just take a step and watch."

"Think before you make a decision, and you will gain something when you know what to stop - don't you remember what I taught you before?" Chu Yangqiu put the cup in his hand on the table, without using much force, but shocked Chu Loufeng With a flick, "You risk yourself so much, do you know how much my brother is worried about you!"

"……Yes."

Seeing his low-key appearance, Chu Yangqiu shook his head helplessly, and his tone slowed down: "Then why did you do this?"

Chu Loufeng's fingers pinching the cup trembled slightly because of the force: "...I am happy."

"Lou Feng, raise your head and look into my eyes." Chu Yangqiu's voice was not loud, but there was a hint of calm and prestige, "Why?"

Chu Loufeng raised his head as he said, bit his lower lip firmly, and forced himself to look at his brother.His face turned pale, but he stubbornly remained silent.

The two brothers confronted each other for a while, and finally Chu Yangqiu sighed, took out a letter of recommendation that had been filled in from the drawer, and pushed it across the table in front of Chu Loufeng: "Then join the Haoqi League."

"Do not."

"Lou Feng!"

"I'm sorry, big brother," Chu Loufeng looked into his eyes and said every word clearly, "I don't want to join the Haoqi League."

"You would rather enter the valley of the wicked than come to brother..." Chu Yangqiu smiled wryly, and placed the envelope on the candle.The orange flames quickly devoured the thin paper, and finally turned into pieces of fly ash.In the flickering light and shadow, his expression actually looked a little lonely, "Since you don't want to, then I won't force it. It's just such a dangerous thing, don't do it again."

Chu Loufeng nodded silently.Chu Yangqiu refilled some tea for the two of them.Just now he said casually: "You came to see me tonight because of Pei Taiyue?"

Although his words were questions, they were quite firm.Chu Loufeng's eyes suddenly widened, like a cat whose tail was stepped on, his whole body became tense, staring at Chu Yangqiu vigilantly and in surprise.However, the latter only lowered his eyes, shaking the teacup in his hand calmly.Curly white mist rose up, blurring his handsome face.

"He hurt you on the wall, and you pushed him off the cliff; you blocked an arrow for him, and he returned your sincerity—so, it's clear, right?" Chu Yangqiu raised his head unhurriedly, A sharp look flashed in his eyes, "Or...are you tempted too?"

"Pei Daochang has treated me with sincerity. Even if I live up to this kindness, I don't want to owe too much." Chu Loufeng took a deep breath and answered slowly, carefully considering every word, "I don't want him to die, Other grievances will be brought up later."

"If you really rescued him, what should you do next?"

"……I have no idea."

"If he doesn't forgive you, and even wants to kill you, what should you do?"

"……I have no idea……"

"Then if he was lucky enough to escape, but still wholeheartedly detrimental to the Haoqi League, what should you do?"

"I have no idea……"

Chu Yangqiu's voice was calm from beginning to end, but each of the three questions he asked was more aggressive than the last.Chu Loufeng avoided his gaze as if evasive, but was caught by the other party's chin, and was forced to raise his face to look directly at his brother's same dark eyes, and for a moment he had the illusion that he was looking in a mirror.

"Lou Feng, if you want to save him, you must know." Chu Yangqiu's tone is unquestionable.

After being silent for an unknown amount of time, Chu Loufeng finally spoke in a low voice, his voice trembling: "I understand."

"Okay," Chu Yangqiu let go, but took out another envelope from the drawer, which was obviously much thicker than the one just now, and handed it to Chu Loufeng, "Pei Taiyue was captured in Qutang Gorge. It is locked in a dungeon near the tomb of King Luo Bin in Chang'an. There are Tang Ruhui's people from top to bottom, but because Qin Si also covets the information line in his hands, I am afraid that he will make some moves in the near future. Related information I've checked everything out for you, but because of my identity and standpoint, I can't help you explicitly, so I can only do my best secretly."

"Brother... you?!"

Chu Loufeng's eyes widened in disbelief, as if he had met his elder brother for the first time.Chu Yangqiu raised the corners of his lips slightly, stood up, and touched his forehead with his forehead across the table.This is a habit that the two brothers have had since childhood, but Chu Loufeng still didn't recover from the shock, and just stared at him blankly.

"Silly boy, why is my brother willing to see you sad?" Chu Yangqiu rubbed his younger brother's hair, half helpless and half pampered, "Pei Taiyue is gentle on the outside, but extremely extreme on the inside—— Loufeng, you must careful."

Chang'an City, Yanglin Square.

The sun in the winter afternoon fell feebly on the ground, illuminating everything in a miserable white.Holding a secret letter in his hand, Ye Tianci strode along the cramped and narrow alleys of this slum area.

He didn't stop until he reached a remote courtyard.This place has obviously been abandoned for a long time, half a person's tall withered grass grows in the yard, the surrounding fences are scattered, and there is a half-collapsed hut in the middle.

Ye Tianci looked around vigilantly, and after confirming that no one was following him, he lowered his head to check the address on the paper, hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.The old wooden door opened with a creak, and in the main room with only a few old tables and chairs left, there was a familiar figure!

"Chu Loufeng?!" Almost subconsciously, Ye Tianci drew his sword out of its sheath, "I thought it was someone pretending to be a ghost, but I didn't expect it to be you!"

"Farewell to Luoyang, will Brother Ye be safe?"

Chu Loufeng smiled lightly, but saw a flash of cold light, and the long knife had already been put on his neck.Ye Tianciping suppressed the anger in his heart, and roared in a low voice: "You have caused Ah Yue so much, how dare you show up now?!"

Even if his life was in the hands of others, Chu Loufeng still looked indifferent, raised his eyebrows, and said, "If Commander Tang knew the identity of the descendant of your Chen family, what would he think?"

Ye Tianci was shocked.

He never expected that when Chu Loufeng said these words, the shock on his face could hardly be concealed.He took a deep breath and said coldly, "When did you know?"

Chu Loufeng curled his lips: "It's now!"

He stretched out his hand to press the spine of the long knife, and slowly pushed it aside: "On October [-], only the two of you survived from the cave. This matter is strange, but this news still leaked out It's just that you publicized that you were ambushed by the Haoqi League, but I transferred Haoqi's internal information to prove that there was no such thing. Now that Commander Tang holds the secret of the Chen family's treasure, he will not be able to get it for a while, and it will attract many forces to crowd out— —As expected, it is Brother Ye, this move is absolutely wonderful," he smiled with eyebrows twisted, and said lightly, "I just guessed casually because I know more than Commander Tang, and I would like to thank Mr. Ye for acknowledging it ah."

Ye Tianci only knew that he had been cheated at this time. From his trip in Gusu to his break with Tang Fei, he had been under unimaginable pressure for the past few months, and he was exhausted physically and mentally.And he is the secret of the descendants of the Chen family, and he is the most sensitive nerve, and it was only in panic that the flaw was exposed.

It's just that since Chu Loufeng dared to come to see him alone, he must have held back.Ye Tianci didn't dare to act rashly, put the knife back into its sheath, and asked in a deep voice, "What exactly do you want?"

"Kill Pei Taiyue."

"What?!" Ye Tianci almost blurted out, "Are you crazy?!"

"You also know that if Pei Taiyue reveals all the intelligence lines of Commander Buquer, it will be of great help to Commander Tang?" Chu Loufeng said softly, half persuading and half bewitching, "You I have the same purpose, to kill Tang Ruhui, why can't we cooperate once?"

Ye Tianci simply couldn't understand this person's thinking, and wished he could be killed on the spot: "You... are simply cold-blooded and despicable, extremely vicious!"

"If everyone in the world respects the same propriety, righteousness and morality, why is there still a valley of wicked people?" Chu Loufeng returned Pei Taiyue's words to Ye Tianci intact, "Brother Ye persuaded me to enter the valley back then. It didn’t take long to forget so completely, it’s really sad.”

After all, without waiting for Ye Tianci's answer, he stood up directly, took out a small paper bag from his arms, put it on the table, turned and left: "This is the chronic poison of Sanrihong, after taking it, it will make people feel sick. The internal organs are slowly exhausted, and they will die slowly after three days. So even if Commander Tang blames him at that time, it will not be blamed on Brother Ye—for the sake of our acquaintance, here you go Think about it for a few days. After seven days, I will wait here for brother Ye's good news."

Tomb of King Luo Bin, dungeon.

This place used to be the tomb of King Luo Bin, the senior elder of the Changge Sect. Later, it was rumored that there was a secret treasure in it.After several rounds of looting, the Changgemen guarding the tomb moved his coffin away, leaving only the tomb.After the place was completely abandoned, Tang Ruhui ordered people to change it into a secret stronghold.The dungeon where Pei Taiyue was imprisoned was changed from the deepest main room in the original tomb. It was cold and damp, and not even a ray of sunlight could penetrate.

Ye Tianci held a torch, walked all the way and stuffed money, causing the guards to nod and bow, and led him to the place courteously, then retreated obediently.Through the wrist-thick iron bars, he saw Pei Taiyue curled up on the stone bed in the corner of the cell, motionless.Ye Tianci called out "Ah Yue!" tentatively, and the man finally reacted, sat up with his hands propped up, and said uncertainly, "...Tianci?"

"It's me!" Ye Tianci replied quickly, his throat suddenly choked, "Are you... all right?"

"It's okay."

Pei Taiyue's voice was hoarse, but her tone was calm.He groped to get up, dragged the heavy shackles, and slowly moved to the railing and sat down.In just a few days, he had already lost too much weight, and he was wearing a rough prison uniform loosely covered with bloodstains, obviously he had been severely tortured.Looking at his unfocused eyes, Ye Tianci felt sour in his eyes and almost burst into tears: "Your eyes?!"

"It doesn't matter." Pei Taiyue shook his head, only a few criminal officers and Tang Ruhui's master and apprentice knew about his blindness, and now he didn't want them to worry about him.

Ye Tianci stared blankly at Pei Taiyue's blank eyes, his whole body seemed to be grasped by a big hand, and he couldn't breathe—he had been in the Valley of the Wicked for five years, although he was good at both sides, he had a sincere friendship. There are only a few people.When Tang Su was insane, a corner of his heart was missing; then it was Tang Fei, who seemed to have cut out his heart and flesh; now even Pei Taiyue has become like this, he only feels that the last piece of his heart is broken All that's left is an empty chest.

Seeing that he hadn't made a sound for a long time, Pei Taiyue couldn't help but frowned slightly, and said, "Why are you here today?"

Ye Tianci was shocked, and only then remembered his purpose of coming here today.He shivered and put the food box on the ground, trying to make his voice sound steady: "I'll... bring you some food."

After saying this, he hurriedly lowered his head, even though Pei Taiyue was blind now, he still didn't dare to look at him.The aroma of the food immediately filled the entire cell, and Ye Tianci took out the exquisite dishes served in celadon Xiaodie, and handed them in through the railing.

Because of her blindness, Pei Taiyue ate very slowly.Ye Tianci waited patiently for him to finish eating before he picked up the jug and began to pour wine.

"Let's drink some wine." His hands shook so badly that almost half of the pot of wine spilled on the ground, "Chang'an Huyuelou's Fengyuebai."

Pei Taiyue never drank, how Ye Tianci wished he could refuse at this time.However, the other party was only stunned for a moment, then bent the corners of his lips and said, "Okay."

Ye Tianci closed his eyes severely, and handed over the wine glass.Pei Taiyue didn't doubt that he was there, so he raised the cup with his hand and brought it to his lips, as if he was about to drink it all in one gulp—but Ye Tianci suddenly grabbed his wrist through the railing!

"Don't drink!"

Ye Tianci blurted out, tightly clasped Pei Taiyue's right hand holding the cup, and asked in a trembling voice, "Ah Yue, are we brothers?"
