Ling Yun saw Lian Nan Chun raising his sword to kill Jiang Chun, but Jiang Chun was still in a daze, with no intention of dodging. He hurriedly rushed over, using a cloud-crossing Qin Leng stance, and blocked his sword with his sword.
But just in this time difference, things have changed.
Ling Yun's sword was a step too late. Lian Nanchun's long sword did not hurt Jiang Chun's chest, but stabbed him in the lower abdomen.
Jiang Chun screamed and fell back a few steps, his body crumbling, and the hand covering the wound was covered with blood.
Ling Yun was furious when he saw this, and stabbed Lian Nanchun with his backhand sword.
Lian Nanchun dodged, took a few steps back, and walked away.
How could Ling Yun allow her to escape? He ordered the guards on both sides: "You guys keep an eye on Jiang Chun. I'll come as soon as I go!"
After saying that, a white cloud came out of Xiu and chased Lian Nanchun in the direction where he escaped.
Lian Nanchun's body turned like flying, shuttling between ancient trees and rocks, as agile as a spirit fox, as erratic as a ghost, intending to get rid of the opponent with confusing momentum.
But Ling Yun is like a human being, with eyes like an eagle, dexterity like a cat, and speed like a leopard. He soon saw through the opponent's "trick" and landed in front of the opponent with a rabbit roll and eagle flip.
Practicing the Nanchun style, the sun sets over the long river, and a soft blade strikes. Lingyun bird flies under the green grass, and the horizontal sword blocks it.
The two of them only circled for more than a dozen rounds before Ling Yun recognized each other's moves and couldn't help but sneered: "Why should we meet before? It turns out to be you!"
Lian Nanchun was startled and said: "What?" The moves in his hands did not slow down at all.
Ling Yun said: "That time on the post road beside the mulberry forest outside the capital, it was you who wanted to kill your soul and silence your mouth; this must be the second time I meet you!"
After tossing and turning, he added: "Last time I saw you, you didn't leave your name or surname, which was too tempting. This time I should be more generous and show your true face in Lushan."
As he spoke, Jiang Yun changed to Xia, and his moves changed, directly lifting the opponent's face.
Lian Nanchun was caught off guard, and when he twisted his body, it was too late. The mask was split in half by the opponent's sword!
And the clever thing is that the sword blade didn't hurt her cheek at all - I don't know if the sword was merciful on the other side, or if it was just a coincidence.
But at this time she was panic-stricken, and before the scarf could slip off, she flew away like an arrow from a string.
Ling Yun pursued him relentlessly. It was not that he didn't understand the principle of not pursuing the enemy when he was in trouble, but he had to make an exception today.
What kind of person is the other party? The mysterious woman who confronted him twice, the deputy gang leader of the Tianxiao organization. We must catch her and reveal her true identity.
There is cold starlight in the sky; there are jagged and strange rocks on the ground, with strange shapes and canine teeth. Under the night, there are rows of teeth and claws, like a group of demons dancing wildly.
Lian Nanchun shuttled between the twists and turns of the rocks, and she could feel the footsteps behind her getting closer and closer.
She was really driven into a panic, so she took a good look at the situation, raised her jade palms, and pushed out a sub-stone on an alphabet stone, flying straight towards Ling Yun's heart.
With its lightning speed, she expected that the other party would have difficulty evading it.
Her idea was one-sided. In fact, Ling Yun did not dodge. He jumped up, his legs flew together, and kicked the stone back with the force of a thunderbolt.
The rocks were shaken into several pieces on his feet, whizzing and flying straight towards Lian Nanchun.
Lian Nanchun hurriedly dodged, but a rock still fell and hit her on the chest.
The stone is about the size of a pebble, but driven by Ling Yun's fierce power, it is injected with a huge momentum. The momentum is like thunder, and it is really unbearable to hit the flesh and blood body.
If she hadn't practiced Nan Chun deeply, she might have been doomed. Despite this, she was still shocked so much that her energy and blood surged up. She staggered and fell a few steps. She coughed and almost spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm. She couldn't help but gnash her teeth and said: "You ……Hello……"
Seeing that he was gaining momentum, Ling Yun was about to step forward when he suddenly felt the strong wind blowing next to him. He hurriedly retreated and passed by, only to see a black shadow in the night leaping past like an owl, heading straight towards Lian Nanchun.
Ling Yun guessed that he was here to pick up Lian Nanchun, so he stepped forward to block him.
The man made a move with his sword and met him face to face. Ling Yun saw that the other man had a ghost-shaped mask on his face.
Another person who is afraid of the light. Ling Yun said: "Who are you?"
The man didn't answer. He moved his sword lightly and executed several moves with ease.
Ling Yun had already seen the clues and said: "Friend, we seem to have interacted with each other before, in that alley in the city, and you are not wearing a mask. Do you think that you accidentally exposed it that time, this time? Want to try another way?"
As he said that, he glanced sideways at the other party, "Isn't that right, Mr. He?"
The person who came was none other than He Chenglin.
He couldn't help but secretly marvel: the last time he met him only once, and it was also in the dark, Ling Yun could identify him so clearly. This Ling Yun was too scary.
But he immediately thought: Who could have such powerful eyesight? Is Ling Yun so bluntly revealing his identity, most likely just to test?
So he used his inner strength to change his tone and said: "Young master, what little master, Ling Yun, you are too whimsical!"
The moves are changing, flying flowers and jade are flying, and the sword flower is shaken into thousands of flowers. It feels like the shadows of mountains and water, the sun and water are intertwined into one, and there is only a vague cold light and cold air in front of the eyes.
This is a killer move called "writing Cui'e in a hundred-foot clear pool". Ling Yun realized how powerful this move was, and his heart trembled, thinking to himself: This masked man is really powerful!
All he could do was use his whole life to turn the fine beads over the load, turn around, try his best to pull himself into the air, do a rabbit roll and an eagle roll, and just dodge a few fatal moves.
Despite this, his clothes were torn in several places, and his left arm was stinging and stained with blood. He turned around, steadied himself, and sneered: "Sure enough!"
The ghost book man couldn't help but be surprised, gritted his teeth and said: "Such a move didn't kill you?"
Ling Yun smiled and said: "Your Excellency, you are very disappointed, aren't you?"
The ghost genealogist said bitterly: "Yes, because you should have died a long time ago! People named Ling, just wait and see!"
Ling Yun said: "I would like to learn from you."
Without saying a word, he could only hear the wind and dust rolling behind him, people shouting and horses neighing, and a powerful force of elite soldiers from the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Punishment came up.
Guipu Ren's "Cloud Breaking and Sky Opening" move caused Ling Yun to take a few steps back with flying sand and rocks.
He took advantage of the situation and turned back a few steps. He was as graceful as a startled dragon, and in a flash he disappeared without a trace.
Of course Lian Nanchun also escaped here.
Officers and soldiers also came up at this time. It was quiet all around, with a bright moon and few stars.
Ling Yun and others took Jiang Chun back to the house. He first ordered the guards to find a doctor to rescue Jiang Chun; then he changed his clothes and came to see Lu Wenzheng.
Ling Yun stated to Lu Wenzheng what happened tonight. Lu Wenzheng and Xu Zhan looked at each other and fell into deep thought.
Xu Zhidao: "There are three things that need to be discussed here: First, Jiang Chun pretended to commit suicide. Why couldn't Dr. Ma, who treated him, diagnose him? Instead, he said he was seriously injured?"
Lu Wenzheng said: "This shows that Doctor Ma and Jiang Chun are in cahoots."
He walked a few steps in the study and told Ling Yun: "Immediately arrange for someone to bring Doctor Ma in for questioning."
When Ling Yun came back with the message, Lu Wenzheng said: "Commander Ling, Mr. Xu and I are discussing the second matter."
Ling Yun said: "What's the matter with He Chenglin?"
Lu Wenzheng said: "Yes! Commander Ling, can you have conclusive evidence to prove that he is the Guipu person who fought with you tonight and rescued Lian Nanchun?"
Ling Yun shook his head and said: "No, I can only judge based on intuition; but I believe that my judgment will not be wrong! So I also tried to test it out at that time."
Lu Wenzheng said: "He admitted it?"
"of course not!"
Lu Wenzheng said: "This is difficult. How can we make a conclusion based only on vague intuition without concrete evidence?"
Xu Zhi said: "Besides, He Chenglin is a relative of the emperor, and his father He Yuting has always been at odds with us; so we must be cautious in handling this matter."
Ling Yun said: "Even if the ghost genealogist is not He Chenglin, the eldest son of the He family is definitely not a kind person.
"That night a month ago, he followed me and I discovered him. At that time, I only competed with him once, and I knew that his level of skill was definitely not inferior to mine!"
The two of them were surprised: "Oh? Such a thing can happen!"
Ling Yun said: "If this Young Master He is really innocent, why does he hide his special skills? One. Second, he followed me in black clothes and masked in the middle of the night. What is his purpose? Third, he is still Isn’t the identity of a person who becomes a monk halfway and recognizes his ancestors and returns to the clan suspicious?”
Lu Wenzheng twirled his beard and muttered, "Don't make any noise about this matter for now. Just wait and see what happens, so as not to alert the enemy and ruin the overall situation. We will wait until the time is right to make an argument. The first thing now is to deal with Jiang Chun's matter first!"
Ling Yun and Xu Zhi looked at each other and said in unison: "Yes, I obey your orders!"
Jiang Chun was lying on the bed numbly, unable to eat or move, looking like a dead person.
His injuries have already been bandaged and treated by famous doctors, so there is nothing to worry about; what's more, what hurts him most at this moment is not his injured body, but his sadness.
What surrounded him first was Ouyang Zhen's dripping blood, and then the ferocious and terrifying faces, including Li Ruiyun, Lian Nanchun, Luo Zhenyi, Xiao Yongnian...
Then there was a deathly blankness. At this moment, his heart was cold and his blood was cold.
The window paper was now white. He was dazed and confused, staring at a pair of empty eyes, not knowing what was waiting for him next.
The door suddenly opened at this time, and a figure accidentally slipped in and came to him.
One, two, fell on his face, hot and tearful.
His heart trembled violently. He didn't dare to look at her, turned his face and closed his eyes.
The person who came was none other than Lu Qiuyue.
Seeing his appearance, Lu Qiuyue felt even more resentful and said in a bitter voice: "Jiang Chun, you... you actually deceived me, I... I really hate you!..."
Jiang Chun felt that it didn't matter at this time. He said indifferently: "Miss, it's up to you to say whatever you want. All the mistakes you made now are my fault. I have nothing but death."
Lu Qiuyue was so angry that she couldn't speak. Staring at him blankly, tears fell unconsciously.
At this time, she heard the door knock. Xu Zhi walked in accompanied by Lu Wenzheng.
Lu Qiuyue sighed lightly and rushed out of the room without even saying hello to her father without looking back.
Lu Wen was looking at her back and sighed softly, but said nothing.
He turned his face and said to Jiang Chun: "Jiang Chun, you don't have to be stubborn. I believe that you are a passionate man who values love and justice. As long as you can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, I will still welcome you."
Jiang Chun said indifferently: "Master Lu, you don't have to waste your efforts! There is a saying: 'A loyal woman will not marry two husbands, and a loyal minister will not serve two masters.' How can I be that kind of villain who is capricious and capricious? What's more? …”
Lu Wenzheng said: "But 'a good bird chooses a tree to roost in, and a good minister chooses his master to serve.' Have you ever thought about what kind of organization you are loyal to now? How did Ouyang Zhen and Xiao Yongnian die? Yes. Don't you feel chilled by this?
"You only know how to work for them wholeheartedly, but have you ever thought about how they treated you? If Commander Ling hadn't stopped him last night, wouldn't you have died by Lian Nanchun's sword?"
Jiang Chun closed his eyes and said nothing.
Lu Wenzheng added: "I have one more thing to tell you: Doctor Ma is also with you, right? I just received the news: He has been killed at home!"
Jiang Chun's expression changed and he said in a trembling voice: "What?..."
Lu Wenzheng said in a deep voice: "His whole family was also killed: the elderly father, the young wife, the young daughter... Don't you think this Tian Xiao is too cruel?"
Jiang Chun's eyes were filled with tears, and he choked with sobs: "I was the one who harmed them... I deserve death. Mr. Lu, please kill me!"
Lu Wenzheng sighed: "Why are you so confused! If you could change your mind, wouldn't it be a hundred times better than killing you?"
Jiang Chun sighed heavily but remained silent. Can he betray Tian Xiao and join Lu Wenzheng? The price of doing this is to betray your friends first!
The first one is his sworn brother Luo Zhenyi. The lives of him and other related Tianxiao disciples would be ruined in the hands of Jiang Chun!
He has already harmed many people, and the blood debt has not yet been paid. Can he bear the heart to add new ghosts?
In the noble and elegant pavilion of the Marquis Mansion, the eldest son He Chenglin was playing with the chess pieces on the table without any thought.
It was fragrant outside, and two beautiful women with fragrant skin walked in.
The two girls are both dressed as maids. They have slim shoulders and slim waists, willow eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, red lips and jade teeth, and they are enchanting.
The two girls, Lingzhi and Guiye, were selected and bought by He Chenglin from outside to serve him.
Because He Chenglin claimed to be from a scholarly family and liked to ponder Tang poetry and Chinese poems, he was arty and borrowed two lines from Li Shangyin's poem "Untitled" to give his two daughters this name.
Moreover, Lingzhi’s original surname is Ling, and Guiye’s original surname is Gui.
Lingzhi and Guiye came forward to see He Chenglin, and their eyes changed.
He Chenglin understood, sent the maidservant on both sides out, and asked: "How is the situation?"
Lingzhi said: "He confessed."
He Chenglin said oh, a little unbelievable.
Guiye also said: "Yes, the eighteenth sister told me personally. She got the tip from Lu Wenzheng."
He Chenglin pondered for a moment, "What did he confess to?"
Guiye looked at Lingzhi, "Eighteen sisters didn't tell me in detail because..."
He Chenglin waved his hand and said, "I understand her difficulty."
It is naturally not easy to work around Lu Wenzheng, who is very aware of everything. It was hard enough for her to kill Xiao Yongnian without leaving any trace last time. In this regard, He Chenglin is still very satisfied with Shiba Mei.
What made him angry was that Jiang Chun was so weak-willed that he couldn't resist Lu Wenzheng's bribery and Lu Qiuyue's beauty, so he surrendered so quickly.
Lingzhi and Guiye had guessed what was on He Chenglin's mind from his angry face.
Lingzhi said: "Master, do you want me to go and get rid of that kid?"
He Chenglin said: "Now that he has confessed everything, what's the point of killing him? Fortunately, one statement is not enough evidence, not to mention he doesn't know much."
He frowned and said, "And he is not the first one who needs to be dealt with now."
Lingzhi asked: "Who?"
He Chenglin said coldly: "Luo Zhenyi."
