The cold wind was howling, and the thatched hut that had been dark for half the night was lit by a faint candle flame, and the faint smell of blood could not be blown away by the wind, but became clearer.

Qigui looked at the unconscious young master on the bed, and carefully wiped away some black blood stains on the other party's cheeks with a handkerchief, and his thin body was even more rugged under the light and shadow, as if he was not in clothes, because the knife wound on his chest was also serious, and the slightest trace penetrated the tightly wrapped bandage.

Su Wen's breathing was even and calm, except for one or two casual frowns, he slept very deeply, but Qigui's brows had not been able to stretch out, and his small eyes were extremely vigilant, even sharp, and in front of the door stood the rich son-in-law, who smashed the wooden door with one palm in the green mountains, and spoke amazingly under the city gate, but walked in in this inky night, holding a blood-stained machete in his hand.

He has always thought how likable this prince is, even if the other party sent them a very timely silver tael, and even the respectful Your Highness, although he does not have the same expectations for the world as the young master, and his eyes are not stained with dust, over the years, Qigui's eyes are full of dust, and he has long understood that there are too many unknown things in this not a beautiful world.

Some lies can be listened to and enjoyed, no one will tell them, and naturally no one will care, why can't he be a third fool, he is the kind of little servant who doesn't need to have ideas, but he will always worry about it afterwards, and then keep using the young master's words to convince his little servant, in this point he is indeed very similar to the young master.

But he knows very well that because he is an extremely careful person, he can see the other party's heart and emotions from Su Wen's subtle changes, and naturally he can also read the apology and helplessness hidden in the eyes of the rich son from the process of burying the kind couple together, so he doesn't like each other.

"The young master hasn't experienced too much worldliness, and he thinks that he can see through people by reading more books, but in fact, I'm afraid that even the author himself thinks that the things written in those books are very false, otherwise why would he write. ”

Chen Maochuan didn't speak, he looked at the other party quietly, this kind of brainless words were either self-talking, or they were extremely meaningful, he didn't think that a teenager could be more powerful than his highness, who had been mixed in between conspiracies and conspiracy since childhood, so he was waiting for the other party's next words.

Qigui wrapped the blood stains on the handkerchief in the middle, as if he didn't want to see it, whether he didn't want to see the dazzling color or didn't want to think of Fang Cai Su's hideous face only he knew, so he continued: "You are very powerful, that killer is nothing to you, but for us it is already a heavenly existence, it seems that since we met you, everything has become very bad, the strong man who blocked the way, the young master made a mistake and killed two good people....... And the young master is sick again. ”

Su Wen's first illness may be just a coincidence, but this time he thinks it's because of these two killers, anyway, he has already complained so much, it doesn't matter if he adds one more, it's just a little servant who likes to talk back, no matter how unreasonable he is, he has told the young master before.

Talking to himself turned into grief and complaining, Chen Maochuan was expressionless, just nodded, and said, "Indeed, but are you a subordinate qualified to question me, even if you are a servant of His Royal Highness King Qi." ”

Qigui suddenly felt very tired of talking to the other party, why did he always like to keep a piece of paper that was already thin and non-existent in his mouth, so that his words could be subtle or not so straightforward, just like Su Wen even when he called himself King Qi, he was still talking nonsense with red mouth and white teeth, which sounded very relaxed.

"You know that the young master is lying to you, if you come here just to get back the more than one hundred taels of silver, then I'm sorry, I won't give it to you, because this money may not be important to you, but it is necessary for me. ”

The moment he opened his mouth, Qigui felt unreasonable, since this money was a drop in the bucket for a rich boy who brought up the Southern Tang Dynasty Ruyu, why should he follow all the way here, let alone kill people, although those books were read to the young master on weekdays, but the daily vegetables, rice, oil and salt were already very tired, so he couldn't have the energy to figure out the deep meaning of these stories like the other party, just like at this moment, he was not happy to think about what the other party's real purpose was.

"It's better to wait for your young master to wake up, and then we will talk about this matter. Chen Maochuan smiled, and kept a suitable distance from the other party from beginning to end, not because of disgust, but because of the other party's nervous and tired eyes, he thought that the other party did not want him to take another step forward.

It was the story of the second half of the night, so it was not too late to dawn, a thin wisp of morning light reflected a brilliant light through the water vapor that filled the air, a small mound of a slight uplift, a wooden plank without inscription stood on it, and a kind couple who were ordinary but will be remembered from now on slept quietly in it.

Chen Maochuan sat at the door for a night, his half-closed eyes trembled a few times, he thought about a lot of things this night, Uncle Thirteen taught himself that the reason why everyone's life can continue is because of the possibility of robbing other lives to survive, and he has always felt very arrogant about the word robbery, so he came to the barracks with his identity and witnessed the war that stained the Li River red.

However, just last night, the rule of three years of conviction was shaken, he was fifteen, I was twenty-four, this was the last thought of the young Orion, and then resolutely exchanged his life for the possibility of Su Wen's survival, I should give the children in the house a chance to escape, this was the last thought of the young woman, although the wound on her neck made her unable to even let out a moan, but there was no shadow of herself in her eyes before she died.

Obviously just a weak child with no power to restrain the chicken, how to stop the trembling body, with a bench to meet the sharp Pu knife, there is no chance of winning, but it is all the odds, this night is very short, and it is also very long, so short that only a few hours can pass, but long enough to go through the whole life again.

The half-closed eyes slowly opened, the harsh morning light did not make him close his eyes, he should have been a person who had sealed mercy in his heart, he should have been a highness who walked up to the chair on the endless bones, he thought he had already realized something, but in the end he still picked up the machete.

"Very interesting two people. ”

Qigui's excited shout suddenly came from the room, "Young Master, you're awake." ”

Su Wen stood up tremblingly, his head hurt, maybe he drank a lot of wine last night, but he didn't forget anything, and even remembered every detail very deeply, his throat was very dry, because the blood was very dry, it was difficult to drink.

Qigui brought a glass of water at the right time, and Su Wen drank it very quickly, until he was choked and coughed several times, and his pale face became ruddy because of the violent rise and fall of his chest, but this ruddy was not healthy.

Chen Maochuan walked into the house, looked at Su Wen on the bed, frowned, through that weak face, he saw a calm heart like well water, he didn't believe that the other party had forgotten, but for a fifteen-year-old child to be able to show such a bad mood after the first killing, he had only seen one.

His imperial brother, the current saint, the Shunwen Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Tianxing three years, King Qi was ordered to leave Beijing, Chen Maochuan's nurse held only seven years old little prince, hid in the ancestral temple, this farce only lasted half a day, and finally King Qi still went to the Cangzhou fiefdom, and the nurse was given an edict to death, and sentenced to death.

The world thinks that this is Prime Minister Li Jucheng in order to kill chickens and monkeys, demonstrate to those old people to show his iron and blood, coerce and induce the will of the saints, but only Chen Maochuan himself knows that this edict came from his elder brother, and he also personally changed Bai Aya into a rod before he died in the ancestral temple, the young emperor who had just turned ten years old, I don't know if his hands were trembling when he put down the pen, but he was able to say goodbye to his brother on the second day as if nothing happened, and he didn't even shed a tear.

After shaking his senses, he found that Su Wen was looking at himself at the moment, and his clear and transparent eyes were still as clean as before, without fear or helplessness.

"Why are you here?" Su Wen asked first, although his breath was still very weak, his tone was very heavy, but it was a little less like a question, more like a complaint.

Chen Maochuan did not hide it, and took out a jade seal from his arms, which was superb, three or four grades higher than the milk jade on his waist, and the jade carving beast, although it was a dead thing, it revealed a majestic style of a hundred beasts, and at a glance it was from everyone's hands.

Su Wen didn't care about the jade, what about the Rui beast, the first thing he saw was the iron painting silver hook under the seal, and the four inscriptions of the golden stone, "Qiwang Baozhang." ”

There was a buzzing sound in his head, and the complicated look on his cheeks had not changed and he had stiffened in one place, and Qigui on the side just shook his head in distraction, no one could understand what this seal represented, but there were so many coincidences in the world, but he didn't go out for fifteen years, and he was actually shattered by a prince's door, and what was even more wordless was that it was a lie that was worse than a joke, whether it was then or now, it was extremely funny, but who dared to laugh out loud.

Su Wen took a deep breath, looked at each other with a slight tremor of his cheeks, this time it was his turn to see something from those starry eyes, but unfortunately there were too many things in those eyes, so many that no one could tell which ones were true and which ones were false, so he coughed and seemed to have figured out a lot of things at once.

figured out why the other party chased to the city gate, why he was blocked as soon as he went to the official road, why a killer came here, and why the other party was here, I thought about these things clearly, but the question still has to be asked after all, although it is stupid, but it is very important.

"May I make a bold guess that you are the King of Qi?"

Chen Maochuan was not happy or angry, he was not complacent because of the other party's gaffe, nor was he annoyed by the faint pain that still carried the back of his head, but he was a little confused, confused by the changing face, the eyes that were still as calm as a pool of water, so he also coughed and said:

"I can be. ”
