Hearing the unexpected name from Xun Yinge, Lu Hanjiang felt very confused. The previous logical sequence was clearly deduced very well, but why did such a strange turn occur at the last step.
But Xun Yinge's expression showed that this was what he believed to be the truth, so Lu Hanjiang pretended to be confused and said: "Brother, you said it was Senior Brother Qi. Are you wrong?"
Xun Yinge said angrily: "I know you won't believe it. Qi Yunzhou is the teacher's first disciple and has a very high status in the academy. After Senior Brother Qiao left, only Senior Brother Fang could surpass him."
Lu Hanjiang nodded thoughtfully, and Xun Yinge continued: "Qi Yunzhou is used to hiding himself in a cowardly manner, but in fact, this man is very deep in the city. If I hadn't happened to see his true face, I would have died. He's a bastard."
】
Lu Hanjiang quite agrees with this. Qi Yunzhou looks shameless and full of soft bones, but in fact, this is just a disguise that this person shows to protect himself. How could the deputy dean of the dignified academy just Will cry.
Xun Yinge had an expression of resentment on his face, while Lu Hanjiang hesitated and then said in a pretentious manner: "Senior brother, it's not that I doubt you as a junior, it's just that what you said is too unbelievable..."
"...Sigh," Xun Yinge's clenched fists finally slowly loosened, he sighed, and said with a lonely expression: "You don't know, my brothers and sisters found a lot of big supplements for me that day. I took the medicine and went to rest early. It was Senior Brother Qiao who hurried back to the academy to wake me up..."
In Xun Yinge's description, what happened that night reappeared before Lu Hanjiang's eyes——
During the day, Gongsun Huan, the head of the Gongsun family, examined and treated Xun Yinge, and then prescribed some powerful tonic medicines and told him not to stop taking the medicine.
After Gongsun Huan left, the brothers found many medicinal materials, all of which were rare and highly tonic. After Xun Yinge took the medicine, he was forced to have an early rest.
When night fell, Xun Yinge tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. He always felt like a demonic fire was burning in his body. He was about to get up and drink some water to calm down, but he was surprised to find that the door of the room was quietly opened.
Xun Yinge took a closer look and saw that the person coming was none other than his senior brother Qiao Shifang.
"Senior Brother Qiao? Why are you here?" When Xun Yinge saw that his beloved Senior Brother Qiao Shifang was arriving, he quickly stood up to salute him regardless of his physical discomfort.
Qiao Shifang's expression was a little strange. He stopped Xun Yinge's movement and looked at him with complicated eyes.
"Junior Brother Xun."
After pondering for a moment, Qiao Shifang straightened his face and said solemnly: "Do you know that you are already in great danger?"
"What do you mean, senior brother?" Xun Yinge was shocked and didn't understand what the other party meant.
Qiao Shifang took the other person's arm, and the two came to the corner of the room. He only heard him whisper: "Junior brother, someone reported to the court that you wrote anti-poems on the paintings. Now, we are here to arrest you." Jin Yiwei is already on his way!"
Xun Yinge was stunned by what Qiao Shifang said. He quickly explained: "Brother, you have to believe me. How could I write an anti-poem on a painting!"
Although Xun Yinge, like most scholars, couldn't stand the emperor's pursuit of immortality without caring about political affairs, and he couldn't stand the imperial guard's power to act wildly without absolute authority, he was not a madman. Well, how can it be written down to give people an excuse?
"Junior brother, it's too late to say anything now. I'm here to inform you and tell you to escape quickly." Qiao Shifang said, urging Xun Yinge to leave quickly.
Xun Yinge was stunned for a while, but at this moment he was at a loss. He was pulled by Qiao Shifang and left in a hurry.
When the two of them were approaching the back door of the academy, Xun Yinge suddenly remembered something. He quickly asked: "Brother, something is wrong. My paintings have never been left outside. How did Jin Yiwei know about 'anti-poetry'?" news?"
Qiao Shifang paused, and when he heard Xun Yinge's question, he did not look back, but his right hand slowly grasped the Xiuchundao at his waist.
Xun Yinge frowned: "Senior brother, why didn't you say..."
"Someone is coming, hide quickly."
Qiao Shifang's hand holding the knife suddenly released, and he pulled Xun Yinge behind the bushes to hide. Soon, a group of three people came in from the back door. The leader was Qi Yunzhou, the vice president of the academy.
Xun Yinge's eyes lit up, and just as he was about to call out, Qiao Shifang tightly covered his mouth and nose. Then, he was shocked to see two Jinyi guards who came in behind Qi Yunzhou.
"Two adults, please come in," Qi Yunzhou eagerly led the way. He said: "You two adults are really discerning. My junior brother Xun's paintings are as good as those of my teacher. I will definitely not disappoint you two adults. "
One of the Jinyi guards sneered: "Don't worry, Dean Qi, we will know if it is a 'good' painting after seeing it, and you will be indispensable for your benefit."
"Thank you, sir." Qi Yunzhou smiled and invited the two of them in.
Xun Yinge's eyes widened as he was hiding in the corner. He couldn't believe what he had just heard. It was actually Senior Brother Qi who handed his painting to Jin Yiwei. It was actually Qi Yunzhou, whom he had been with day and night and regarded as his father and brother, who betrayed him.
Qiao Shifang looked down at Xun Yinge, who was stunned, and then forcibly took him out of the academy.
The two of them fled all the way to the dense forest outside the city, but were betrayed by someone close to them. Xun Yinge looked completely lost at the moment, and at the same time, the flame in his chest became even hotter.
He stopped, clutching his chest and groaning in pain. Qiao Shifang no longer led him to run forward, but stopped together.
"Brother, I..." Xun Yinge was so uncomfortable that he couldn't even speak clearly, but Qiao Shifang ignored him. He looked beyond himself and looked behind him.
Xun Yinge reluctantly turned his head, and saw a sword light flashing down, and Qi Yunzhou approaching quickly from a distance. In just three moves, Qiao Shifang's arm was injured and he could no longer fight.
Xun Yinge wanted to say something, but his spirit became weaker and weaker. He could not even stand. He fell to the ground and could only hear the conversation between the two intermittently.
"Senior Brother Qi, why are you so aggressive? Junior Brother has fallen into this situation. How about you and I each take a step back?"
"The people from the imperial court are in the academy. You know what I mean. Keep them here. Junior Brother Qiao, you are no match for me."
...
Xun Yinge could no longer hear the rest of the conversation. He fell into a deep sleep. When he woke up again, the fire in his chest completely exploded, almost burning him out.
Xun Yinge woke up in a state of extreme physical excitement. He found that his surroundings were pitch black, and there seemed to be two forces, one hot and one cold, fighting in his body, causing him great pain.
He tried to rely on the guidance of his own energy to vent these two forces, but until he exhausted all his energy, he could not completely get rid of this weird power.
But he finally escaped from the dark place. Only then did he realize that it was a tomb. Suddenly, Xun Yinge seemed to see his name engraved on the tombstone.
