[-]. Giving back to others

A few months ago, there was a civil strife in the Valley of the Wicked, and the vitality was greatly damaged. The Haoqi League took the opportunity to attack several cities.Now that Tang Ruhui was seriously injured and Qin Si's family was the only one, he had recovered a bit of vitality; on the contrary, Li Hanzhou, the commander-in-chief of Haoqi, died in battle, and Chu Yangqiu, the deputy commander, was deeply involved in rumors. The situation just happened to be reversed.Therefore, Qin Si took the opportunity to send his troops down the river and attacked Qutang Gorge, hoping to take down the two cities of Ruiliuwu and Bukongguan in one fell swoop, and open the way for the central defense line.The two sides are facing each other across the Yangtze River, and the war is imminent.

In the main hall of the Torrent Dock stronghold, the atmosphere was chilling.The story of Chu Loufeng's capture on Yanyun Ancient Road had already been reported here the day before, and he was brought here today.

The matter of the brothers of the Chu family is very involved, so almost all the high-level officials of the Haoqi League are sitting here, even one of the seven stars, Yue Nonghen, the master of the Yaoguang altar, came here overnight, and sat on the seat with Chu Yangqiu .

When Li Hanzhou died earlier, he couldn't find a suitable commander, and the Valley of the Wicked didn't give them any time to react, so they had to temporarily appoint Chu Yangqiu as the acting commander, in order to stabilize people's hearts.

However, within a few days, rumors about the collusion between the two brothers and the intentional design of Li Hanzhou also spread like wildfire. right.

Originally, it was not uncommon for all kinds of rumors to interfere with the line of sight between the camps, but this time, the events mentioned in the rumors were all traceable, not purely false.It is precisely because of this that even though the military counselor Zhai Jizhen and Tianxuanying both came forward to protect Chu Yangqiu, Haoqi's senior management still arranged for this face-to-face confrontation, whether it is a conviction or self-certification, in order to set the record straight and stabilize the situation. people's hearts.

A sound of footsteps came from outside the hall, and Chu Loufeng staggered into the room under the escort of two personal guards.

Because of his status, the Haoqi League treated him fairly politely, did not torture him severely, and did not even add shackles to his body.However, his martial arts are completely useless now, his meridians and collaterals are destroyed, his body is extremely weak, the injury on his right arm has not been properly treated, his face is as pale as paper, and he looks like he has only half breath left.

"Kneel down."

One of the guards pushed his shoulder, and Chu Loufeng knelt obediently.In the cold weather of the twelfth lunar month, he was only wearing a thin coat, and his whole body was shivering.From the beginning to the end, he kept his head down, and his face was covered by long hair, and his expression could not be seen clearly.

Everyone's eyes moved to Chu Yangqiu involuntarily, but they saw that he only leaned forward slightly, and his expression did not fluctuate.

However, Yue Nonghen, who was sitting next to him, could hear clearly that since Chu Loufeng was escorted into the door, Chu Yangqiu took a very light breath, held his breath, and followed his younger brother's figure with his eyes. Neither moved away.

When the whispers in the four seats subsided, she cleared her cough and said without anger: "There are rumors that your two brothers colluded internally and externally, and directed Li Hanzhou before the assassination?"

"Nothing."

"Ah."

Yue Nonghen's question was straight to the point, without any foreshadowing, and hit the point.Chu Yangqiu denied it as a matter of course, but Chu Loufeng gave a low laugh.

"Second Master Chu, what does this mean?" Yue Nonghen's eyes narrowed slightly.

"I assassinated Li Hanzhou, why should I collude with him?"

There was a bit of sarcasm in his voice, Chu Yangqiu couldn't help shouting, "Lou Feng!"

"Brother, did you forget?" Chu Loufeng raised his head for the first time, slightly hooking the corners of his lips, with a sharp smile on his pale face. Destroying the Star Evil Venerable."

There was an uproar.

As soon as this statement came out, it meant that Chu Loufeng had completely admitted the crime of killing Li Hanzhou, and also cleared the connection between Chu Yangqiu and this matter.However, Yue Nonghen just raised his hand lightly, stopped everyone's discussion, and said, "If that's the case, why did Commander Chu go to rescue you in person when you fell into Pei Taiyue's hands?"

"Help? Heh, it's too late for him to kill me - instead of asking me, you might as well ask him directly."

This is said firmly, because Chu Loufeng knows that although Chu Yangqiu is the second-in-command, he is directly under the seat of Tianxuanying; he is usually in charge of information exchanges, and he has a group of cronies around him, so there is no need to act upward There is no need to even report to Li Hanzhou for instructions.

And the matter of rescuing oneself must be very secret, and it is impossible for many people to know.The reason why others thought it was "saving" was just a common way of thinking. At this moment, it was called "killing" out of the blue, and he gambled on this point of hesitation.

It's a pity that Yue Nonghen only shook his head, and said lightly: "Second Master Chu, you are so confounding black and white, you are too underestimating my noble man."

"If he hadn't backhanded me in the Valley of the Wicked, how could I have ended up in this situation just by killing Li Hanzhou?" Chu Loufeng glanced at the empty sleeve on his right, his voice was soft and slow, and he was actually biting his teeth. It means, "Brother, you are serious, you will kill relatives with righteousness, and you will not show mercy."

"You left your elder brother clean!" Suddenly someone interrupted, it turned out to be a middle-aged man sitting on the left side of Yue Nonghen, "At that time, Pei Taiyue was captured by the wicked valley, didn't it be because he investigated a lot secretly, Help him get out of trouble? Don't deny it!"

"This is strange," Chu Loufeng said in a disdainful tone, "He made an open and secret visit, but he was afraid that Pei Taiyue and Tang Ruhui would join forces... If Ye Tianci and I hadn't rescued him, today's battle in Qutang Gorge would not have happened .”

He said it lightly, but there was some truth to it, and the man hesitated for a moment.The relationship between the two brothers of the Chu family has not been very good. Anyone with a discerning eye can see this. It is impossible to just pretend for so many years.

However, having said that, Chu Loufeng's intention to exonerate Chu Yangqiu was still too obvious, and there was a burst of whispering in the room.After a long time, someone asked: "Then why did you want to kill Li Hanzhou?"

"I am originally a person in the valley of evil. Since I have the opportunity to kill the commander-in-chief of the Haoqi League, why not do it?"

"He is your brother's savior!"

"So what?" Chu Loufeng bit his lower lip and suddenly smiled.He raised his head, looked at the man's face, and said slowly, "I just want to kill him."

"you……"

"I'm jealous of his extraordinary talent, I'm jealous of his success, I'm jealous of his perfection, I'm jealous of his smooth sailing - what he has, I don't have, and what I have, he dismisses it," Chu Loufeng murmured in a low voice, as if expressing his love, "I've hated him for so many years, how could I not kill him and then hurry up?"

There was a faint smile on his lips, half sad and half vicious, shaking out those dark and dark thoughts.

The ignorant initial heart when he was young, and the youthful admiration when he grew up-he liked him for being brave and brave, he liked him for being approachable, he liked him for being single-minded and affectionate, and he liked him for being smooth and safe.

That was the secret he had carefully guarded for nine years, the softest part of his heart.

He originally thought that he would never mention that person again in his life, but he didn't expect that after making such a big circle, he finally made a circle and came back.It was as if the flesh and blood from the heart and the scabbed scars had been scabbed out, and they were thrown on the ground and trampled to pieces, exposing the unbearable nine years to the public.

He has always been afraid of pain and death, his martial arts are ordinary, cynical and shameless, he has never been as good as his brother, and he has not received much favor.So he doesn't have much extravagance, an inch-long old tassel can carry everything, if there is any wish, it is to take a look at that person from a distance.

Today, the vast expanse of flowers in my memory has finally faded away, and the young generals in red and silver armor and white horses are slowly walking away.He played around in the world, was drunk, dreamed and died, and couldn't bear the heavy feelings of others. The so-called "sincerity" was just a joke after drinking.

——Although he still accepted a heart in the end, he stabbed it twice fiercely and returned it dripping with blood.He thought that he was someone who was used to wandering in the world of mortals and purple streets, three thousand prosperous and ten feet of soft red, all passing by like floating clouds, but he didn't know that all of these were self-inflicted, hurting others and himself.

The pain in the heart surged without any warning, Chu Loufeng bit the corner of his lips, and suddenly saw that night of the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, someone dressed in white came stepping on the moon.

"Killing Li Hanzhou is indeed my plan."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chu Loufeng trembled slightly, but spoke clearly every word.His body was kneeling straight, not the kind of composure he was trying to maintain, but a real, almost decisive calm.

"Although the Second Young Master Chu has pleaded guilty, there are still many doubts about this matter," Yue Nonghen said slowly after a moment of silence, "The immediate urgent thing is to clear Commander Chu's innocence."

In the lobby, there was silence.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.Everyone's mouth melts their gold, and their accumulation destroys their bones. Chu Yangqiu joined the Haoqi League at the age of 17, and it has been nine years since then.Everything it has done for the League should not be simply obliterated because of a rumor.

What's more, during the Battle of Jinmen Pass, Pei Taiyue once threatened Chu Loufeng's life, but Chu Yangqiu remained unmoved; and when he entered the Valley of the Wicked, he also once offered a high price reward through the Yinyuan Society - so far, without favoritism, It is not easy.

"The army in the Valley of the Evil is overwhelmed, and people's hearts are scattered. It's a big taboo." The usually gentle voice became a bit colder now, and Yue Nonghen looked around, "The murder of General Li still needs to be investigated slowly and thoroughly. As for the Second Young Master Chu—”

"and many more."

Chu Yangqiu spoke suddenly.

He has not spoken since just now, but at this moment he stood up, clasped his sleeves and bowed to the end: "Thanks to everyone's trust, I am caught in rumors, and I cannot guarantee Lou Feng. But I promise, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. .If it is found out that it is what he did, I will definitely not be merciful—”

Chu Yangqiu suddenly took a step back, and knelt down under Chu Loufeng's unbelievable eyes and gasping voice.

Not saluting, not bowing, but—kneeling.

"It's just that Lou Feng's internal injuries are not healed, and the prison is bitterly cold. I'm afraid he won't be able to last this battle. As a brother, I can't bear to see him like this," he said in a sincere tone, neither humble nor overbearing, "I know that this action is unreasonable, but I hope that all of you can accept this merciless request in view of the meager contribution I have made to Haoqi for many years."
