The days are short in winter, and the sun sinks quickly into the horizon...
The moonlight is hazy, revealing a touch of unusualness...
Tonight is destined to be a werewolf killing!
The werewolf has changed from Gong Huanyu to Gong Yaozheng. He held the blade and asked her to use the trick, but she didn't want to. She wanted Huangque behind to catch him!
Gong Shangjiao still felt uneasy, so he went to find the sword...
Gong Yaozheng: Go ahead, go ahead, don’t say anything once you leave…
In the sword-wielding room, the lights are like stars...
Gong Shangjiao's arrival did not surprise Zhiren. He smiled lightly and asked him to sit down: "Shangjiao is here, sit down!"
Gong Shangjiao looked at Zhibian, who put his life and death aside, and frowned slightly: "Is it worth it to hold the sword?"
"It's not worth it. Ayao has already told you the matter! I knew she wouldn't listen to me. She has always been an independent child." Gong Hongyu said and handed it to Gong Shang A cup of tea.
Gong Shangjiao took it with both hands: "What is the purpose of holding the sword?"
"For the palace gate!" Gong Hongyu's eyes were deep: "You should know the palace gate's top secret, the boundless fire!"
Gong Shangjiao nodded. The immeasurable flowing fire is now stored in the underground palace of the Flower Palace on the back mountain. There are many mechanisms in the Flower Palace.
"But that is only a part of the Infinite Flowing Fire. If you want to activate the Infinite Flowing Fire, you need another part! It is also the most important part. Otherwise, the one in the Flower Palace is just a piece of iron!"
"Do you know why every sword wielder in the palace cannot leave the Old Chen Valley?" Gong Hongyu asked.
"I know, because the responsibility carried by Gongmen's blade is heavy, you can't put yourself in a dangerous place. You will live and die for Gongmen throughout your life!" Gong Shangjiao said word by word.
There was a look of satisfaction in Gong Hongyu's eyes, but he still said: "It is true, but the most important thing is that the blade carries the secret of the infinite flow of fire. The other half of the secret text of the infinite flow of fire is to pierce every In the skin of the blade, the death marks disappear, which is why the palace gate has a series of palace rules and regulations that are inherited in absentia. Those tattoos are as deep as the skin, and they rely on blood and energy to maintain their appearance. At most two hours after death, the secret text It will disappear, so the next sword bearer must have it tattooed immediately.”
"Then why not write it down directly? Even if it is engraved on your back, someone who is interested can copy it!" Gong Shangjiao gave a knowing blow.
"Those scriptures are obscure and difficult to understand, and people's memories will be erased. This is the safest way. Moreover, this tattooing technique is a secret method of the palace. It penetrates deep into the skin and will not show up under ordinary circumstances." Gong Hongyu had long expected it. Gong Shangjiaohui asked this question and replied calmly.
"That…"
"The scriptures are engraved on the back so that the sword cannot be known. If you want to use the infinite flow of fire, all the elders of the elders must agree. As for the method of manifestation, you need to relax your muscles and veins." Gong Hongyu said. She cut off his question and talked to herself.
"Ayao should have told you that Huan Yu intends to activate the infinite flow of fire, so you can only take the position of wielding the blade! I kept it from you before because I didn't want you to be burdened. Don't say anything more in this game tonight. Life or death depends on it. Life, guarding the palace gate is what you should do!" Gong Hongyu saw what Gong Shangjiao wanted to say, leaving him no room to speak.
Gong Shangjiao cares deeply about the palace, so naturally he will not agree with this approach.
However, he is a swordsman and a father. There are some things that it is difficult for him to do both!
"Yes!" Gong Shangjiao had no choice but to agree. He finally knew why Ayao wouldn't let him come.
Because even if he comes, nothing will be changed!
There are some things that just need to wait. He has never been as clear as Ayao about this.
"Don't tell others what happened tonight. From now on, I will leave the palace gate and Ziyu to you!" Gong Hongyu's voice was heavy and worried, as if he was leaving an orphan on his deathbed.
"Don't worry about holding the sword. It concerns the palace, and I won't talk to outsiders."
"Ziyu, he..." Zhibian wanted to say something else, but his eyes suddenly turned sharp: "Who?"
There was a sound of pushing the door open, and both of them looked up at the door at the same time. Gong Huanyu walked in: "Father!"
"It's so late...Didn't the guard say I won't see anyone tonight?" Gong Hongyu hesitated and shouted sharply.
"I told you, but I have something important to report to my father... Lord Zhibian!" Gong Huanyu paused and changed his name from father to Lord Zhibian.
"Shang Jiao is not an outsider, tell me!" Gong Hongyu said when he saw Gong Huanyu looking at Gong Shangjiao who seemed to be embarrassed to speak.
"...The assassin is Zheng Nanyi, the second young lady of the Hunyuan Zheng family!"
As soon as he said this, Gong Hongyu glanced at him and indicated that he could go out. Ayao must have told him what to do.
Gong Shangjiao stood up and excused himself: "The Zheng family of Hunyuan has an old relationship with me. I will definitely find out about this matter and give Zhibian an explanation!"
After saying that, he left the room...
The door was closed, the moonlight shone on Gong Shangjiao's face, it was dark and unclear, and the room behind him revealed the strange aura of Bo Yun...
He went to the Corner Palace. There were some things that he needed to prepare in advance...
Within the palace
Gong Yaozheng was eating melon seeds and looking at the painting book. Yes, it was the same one!
With her unremitting efforts, Gong Er returned the painting book to her.
She looked up at the moon in the sky and called Gong Yuanzheng: "Brother Yuanzheng, it's almost time. It's time to put on mourning!"
Gong Yuanzheng: "...Sister, even if you die holding the sword, since Gong Ziyu is wearing hemp and wearing mourning, we can just go and burn incense!"
"That's right, then...it's time to go burn incense!"
Gong Yuanzheng:...
The night was hazy, the moon was dark, and the full moon seemed to be powerless against the dark and dense night.
Darkness filled the entire palace gate...
A horse galloped through the streets of Old Dust Valley. It was wearing a jet black robe and a hat on its head. Its face could not be seen clearly. But anyone who knows about that bamboo hat knows that it belongs to Mr. Gong Er.
In the Wanhua Tower, sandalwood lingers on the tip of your nose...
Gong Ziyu woke up from his drunken dream, only to see Ziyi looking out the window with a puzzled look on his face.
"What's wrong?" Gong Ziyu's voice was hoarse and deep as when he had just woken up. Maybe it was the fire in the room that was burning brightly, which caused beads of sweat to form on his forehead.
"That's...Mr. Gong Er?" Zi Yi said with some uncertainty.
Gong Ziyu stood up, walked to the window and glanced at the retreating figure: "It's so late, what was he doing out there? Didn't he just come back?"
He was only confused for a moment, and then he stopped thinking about it. How could he, a playboy, know what Gong Shangjiao was doing?
After all, they have their reasons for everything they do...
Tonight, he dreamed of his mother...
He was fascinated by the fire in the room, but he didn't know... the palace gate had changed!
A person died tonight at the palace gate!
The lights on the palace gate tower turned red...
White sky lanterns slowly rose up into the sky...
There was solemnity in the palace gate...
The footsteps of the guards and the clash of armors became the main theme of the palace gate.
When Gong Shangjiao and the elders arrived, Gong Yuanzheng's knife was placed on the assassin's neck. Gong Huanyu seemed to have been poisoned. Gong Yuanzheng was beside the sword and felt the pulse of the sword.
The sword was out of breath, but he still blocked Gong Huanyu's knife. When Gong Huanyu's father died, he didn't save him. He felt guilty for him after all!
Over the years, he failed to teach Ziyu well and failed to detect the obsession in Huanyu's heart in advance. He was not a competent father.
When the knife entered his abdomen and his life was passing by, he turned to look at Gong Yaozheng who was rushing through the door. As if he had expected it, he looked at her deeply and fell to the ground.
Gong Huanyu didn't expect Gong Yaozheng to come, and his face immediately showed sadness: "Father!"
Then he raised his knife and tried to kill Zheng Nanyi: "I want to kill you!"
It was too late to say it, but soon, the silver light in Gong Yaozheng's hand flashed, and Gong Huanyu, who was unprepared for her, immediately let go of the knife in her hand, and looked at Gong Yaozheng with a smile on his face in disbelief: "Ayao you…"
"Don't call me Ayao, are you worthy?" Gong Yaozheng's smile faded, his eyes filled with cold light.
Gong Yuanzheng stepped forward and put the blade on the neck of Zheng Nanyi who had regained consciousness. Zheng Nanyi looked at the scene in front of him and remembered what Gong Yuanzheng said in the dungeon: "Stupid, you think that a person who aims the blade at If you are one of your own people, you will fulfill your promise, but it’s just a waste of time!”
Seeing the situation clearly, she pointed at Gong Huanyu: "It's him, he ordered me to assassinate Zhibian!"
Gong Huanyu's body was paralyzed at the moment, and his Zhengyun Gong suppressed the poison. Hearing this, he couldn't help but vomit a mouthful of blood: "You..."
Gong Yaozheng knew the poison on his poisonous needle very well, and knew that Gong Huanyu wouldn't be able to suppress it for a while, so he simply walked to the side of the knife to see if he could be saved.
Damn, it’s hopeless!
Outside the door, there were dense footsteps...
Gong Yaozheng curled his lips and smiled, here he comes!
Elder Yue hurried to the front of the sword. Today, Shang Jiao said that it was difficult to hold the sword. He still didn't believe it. Now...
After Elder Yue felt his pulse, he lowered his eyes and said with a serious expression: "Holding the blade, let's go!"
Elder Hua and Elder Xue hurriedly stepped forward: "Quickly, go back to the elders' courtyard!"
Huang Yu's attendant behind him stepped forward and carried the blade away on a stretcher...
"Take Gong Huanyu away with you!" Elder Hua looked at Gong Huanyu who was obviously different.
At this moment, he no longer called him Young Master. When Gong Shangjiao came to the Elder's House just now, he brought a letter in which Zhibian changed the title of Young Master. The content inside was indeed written by Zhichan himself.
But just now, martial arts practitioners could hear Zheng Nanyi's voice a hundred steps away.
Gong Huanyu had just suppressed the poison, but with so many people there, he glanced at Gong Shangjiao and followed him obediently without saying anything more.
Gong Yuanzheng looked at Zheng Nanyi who was being held by his brother Yuanzheng's neck. Zheng Nanyi was also tied up and taken to the Elder's House.
Zheng Nanyi also knew in her heart that even if she survived tonight, what awaited her would be endless torture.
She looked at Gong Huanyu hatefully. She hated hypocrites the most in her life. If the young master of the palace sect lied to her, be prepared to be dragged into the water!
It's really ridiculous. The person who promised to give her life wanted to kill her, but the person who kept saying he wanted to kill her saved her!
Although it is only half a breath longer, it is enough!
When leaving,
Gong Shang took a half step back: "You're not hurt, are you?"
Gong Yaozheng raised his head and said proudly: "Of course, defeat the enemy with one move!"
There are advantages to not having martial arts. For example, when Gong Huanyu saw Gong Yaozheng, what he thought of was to quickly deal with Zheng Nanyi instead of guarding against her.
After all, a person without martial arts cannot stop him!
but……
In the solemn and solemn meeting hall, the elder announced the document of Jiubian's appointment as young master, and then brought Gong Shangjiao and Jiubian's body into the inner room.
Elder Yue did not follow, but looked at Zheng Nanyi and Gong Huanyu kneeling on the ground.
Just now Zheng Nanyi accused Gong Huanyu of murdering the sword, and naturally they heard it too!
Nothing is groundless, but without evidence, no one can draw inferences.
Looking at Ayao and Yuanzheng standing aside, he glanced around: "Where is Ziyu?"
"Returning to the elders, Mr. Yu sneaked away to Wanhua Tower today!"
Elder Yue: "What kind of behavior is this? Send Huang Yu guards to "invite" him back to me!"
"yes!"
The night wind howled by, and on the quiet road at the palace gate, the sound of the carriage wheels rubbing against the floor was particularly clear...
Gong Ziyu felt uneasy. When Huang Yu came to invite him to the Elder's House, he heard that it was not a good thing.
Gong Zishang decided not to go through the muddy water and got out of the carriage decisively when it stopped.
As soon as he turned around, he saw Gong Yaozheng looking at him with a smile...
"What? Gong Er is so kind to you, and you want me to provoke Gong Ziyu to misunderstand Gong Er?" Gong Zishang looked shocked. She didn't recognize this sister.
"Second brother, he knows!" Gong Yaozheng quickly suppressed Gong Zishang's astonishment and whispered.
Gong Zishang looked her up and down, confirming that this was still his sister Ayao: "So, what is it for?"
"Sister Zishang, you only need to know that the beloved son of his parents has far-reaching plans. All of this is a deliberate plan..."
Gong Zishang covered her mouth with a look of shock. She seemed to understand something!
She poked her head out from the corner and glanced at the back of Gong Ziyu walking up the steps. Indeed, it was time for him to grow up!
"No, my acting skills are very poor, my secret will be exposed!" Gong Zishang waved his hands quickly, saying that he would not be able to take on such a big job.
"There is no need for acting skills, just show your true colors. Now you just need to firmly believe that it was Gong Er who asked me and Yuan Zheng to kill Zhi Yan and put the blame on Gong Huan Yu!"
The moonlight was shrouded in dark clouds, and Gong Yaozheng's face was hidden in the shadows. Her tone was bewitching, which was incompatible with that harmless face.
After saying that, he turned around and left...
Gong Zishang looked at Gong Yaozheng's back in trance, the expression on his face dropped, and his eyes were full of contemplation...
After a while, he smiled lightly and sighed...
When Gong Yaozheng returned to the meeting hall, he saw Gong Ziyu looking at Gong Huanyu in disbelief...his eyes turned red.
Gong Yuanzheng poked Gong Yuanzheng to signal that he was back. Gong Yuanzheng was itchy from being poked, so he turned his body to one side and whispered dissatisfiedly: "Sister~"
Gong Yaozheng wanted to laugh, but in this situation, she pursed her lips and held it back.
Gong Ziyu seemed to react: "Where is father?"
He didn't see his father's body. Did they just make up a lie to punish him for his disobedience?
"The sword is in the inner room, you can't go in!" Elder Yue stopped Gong Ziyu.
At this time, Gong Huanyu said in a low voice: "Ziyu, my father is dead. I am more sad than anyone else. The assassin said that I was the one who ordered it. Why did I do this?"
"They don't believe me, don't you believe me either?" Gong Huanyu was poisoned, his body was weak, and his tone was weak.
Hearing Gong Huanyu's words, Gong Ziyu was slightly startled. He looked at Gong Yuanzheng and Gong Yuanzheng who looked calm and looked around.
"Where's Gong Shangjiao? I saw him leaving the palace in a hurry today. I'm afraid he absconded out of fear of crime!" Gong Ziyu suddenly remembered the figure he saw in Wanhua Tower.
His father died, and Gong Shangjiao left the palace late at night. If there was no connection, he wouldn't believe it!
He didn't know why the assassin identified his eldest brother, but the eldest brother was the young master and was deeply valued by his father. He had no reason to kill his father.
"Presumptuous!" Elder Hua's voice came from the inner room, and behind him was Gong Shangjiao, who looked a little pale.
Gong Shangjiao looked at the direction of Gong Yuanzheng and Gong Yuanzheng, and gave them an "I'm fine" look.
Gong Ziyu looked at Gong Shangjiao as if he had seen a ghost. He clearly saw him leaving the palace gate!
