The crumbling Cheng Shanping held on to the cave wall, but he couldn't hold on. He slowly slid down the cave wall and turned his head hard to see that the blood-stained sword penetrated his chest.
He glanced at several people and finally locked on Yu Qing. His eyes were full of unwillingness and hatred. He sat on the ground, gasping for breath, and blood began to drip from the corner of his mouth.
Tie Miaoqing and the others slowly turned back to look at Yu Qing. They saw that Yu Qing's hands were empty, and the scabbard hanging on his waist was also empty. The sword with the pattern carved on the ground had disappeared from his hand. .
Even if they didn't see it, the three of them could tell who made the move just by hearing, but they just couldn't believe it and wanted to confirm it with their own eyes.
Even if they saw it with their own eyes, the three of them could not believe that this scholar who was going to Beijing to take the exam would suddenly kill someone, and in front of them.
Yu Qing did not make eye contact with the three of them, and slowly clasped his hands in front of his abdomen, his face expressionless, as if it had nothing to do with him.
The reason why he didn't tell Cheng Shanping that he was a traitor at first was because he couldn't guarantee that they would believe him if he told him. He was an outsider after all.
There is no guarantee that they will be able to control Cheng Shanping if he speaks out. If those people don't control Cheng Shanping first, Cheng Shanping's refusal to admit it in the face of accusations will be secondary. Once his accusations anger Cheng Shanping, he is not Cheng Shanping's opponent.
There was a huge gap in strength between him and Cheng Shanping, and they were in unequal positions. This was the most critical thing.
He just wanted to use the hands of these people to control Cheng Shanping, and he wanted to use the hands of these people to make Cheng Shanping lose the ability to resist. Otherwise, how could he get revenge?
"What are you doing?" Tie Miaoqing shouted at him, never dreaming that this person would break his promise.
Sun Ping and his wife had already rushed to Cheng Shanping's side and helped him.
After all, we have known each other for many years, and subconsciously wanted to save him, but found that it was a fatal move, a sword piercing the heart, and there was no way to save him. He would die immediately as soon as the sword was pulled out. The whites of his eyes were rolling, his body was shaking slightly, and his breath was rapidly weakening. .
Sun Ping, who was squatting on the ground, raised his head and shook his head at Tie Miaoqing.
Tie Miaoqing lost control of his emotions on the spot, almost hysterical, "Ashiheng, you said you would spare his life, why did you break your promise?"
Yu Qing looked at her for a moment, ignored her, and looked back at Sun Ping, "Shopkeeper Sun, I have no enmity with him. He wanted to kill me when we first met, but my life was spared." . Later he refused to give up, and tried to kill me many times, but failed to succeed easily. If I hadn't noticed this time, if we had fallen into Jian Yuanzhai's hands, you should think that he could not blame me, you should think that he Can you make me feel better?
Now that things have come to this, I ruined Jianyuanzhai's good deeds in order to help you. As far as Jianyuanzhai is concerned, he has also been exposed. I don't know if there is any use value. If you let him go...he may not blame you, then you might as well guess whether he will blame me? If Jian Yuanzhai kills his mother, then the hatred will be great. I don't want to guard against such an enemy for a long time.
Let him go. Even if we escape now, with his presence, if he helps Jian Yuanzhai intercept us, are you sure you can return to Youjiao Port smoothly? He knows you so well! It doesn't matter to you, I still want to go to Beijing alive to take the exam. Shopkeeper Sun, he has always wanted to kill me, but he failed and fell into my hands. Shopkeeper Sun, please give me a reason not to kill him! "
Sun Ping suddenly frowned and was silent.
Tie Miaoqing, who was so angry that he almost wanted to take action, shouted out the reason, "You said you would give him a way to survive!"
Yu Qing: "I said the boss lady was willing to give him a way to live, but I didn't say I wanted to give him a way to live!"
Seeing his old friend die in his arms and hearing the murderer's strong arguments, Zhu Shangbiao's eyes turned red and he rushed towards Yu Qing.
Sun Ping was startled and ran out immediately, grabbing her husband.
Zhu Shangbiao had already grabbed Yu Qing's clothes on his chest and roared: "Little thief, do you believe I will kill you?"
Sun Ping reached out again, grabbed his stubborn wrist, and shouted: "Let go!"
She didn't know that the third fire cricket had been caught, so she was relatively calm.
The red-eyed Zhu Shangbiao refused to let go. He held on tightly, panting, and rarely listened to his wife.
Yu Qing said calmly: "If Cheng Shanping hadn't met the people from Jian Yuanzhai, I believe you would have dared to kill me. Now that we have met, do you think Cheng Shanping will tell Jian Yuanzhai about the three escorts from Sinan Mansion here?" ? If I die in your hands, Jian Yuanzhai is afraid that I will not be able to ask for it. You will do whatever you are asked to do. If you are asked to hand over the fire cricket, you must obediently hand it over. You dare not disobey!"
After realizing that Cheng Shanping was a traitor and confirming his collusion with other shops, he found a way to make himself invincible.
To a certain extent, it was not without reason that Ashheng dared to let him take the risk to take the exam. He knew him. .
"You..." Zhu Shangbiao was furious.
Sun Ping Yungong pinched his palm and pulled it away smoothly, "Get out of the way!"
Tie Miaoqing stared at Yu Qing and said bitterly: "You have known for a long time that he is a traitor. You are not trying to control him to verify anything, but you want to use my hand to control him so that you can do it. You wanted to use it from the beginning. Kill him with my hands!" At this moment, she finally understood Yu Qing's intention.
Yu Qing said calmly: "Ningbao traitors, even if there may be a fatal threat, they will continue to make mistakes! If I had known that the boss lady was so indifferent to right from wrong and would not take credit for my merits but blame me for my mistakes, I could have said nothing. , you can take refuge in Jian Yuanzhai, who is more powerful. What does it have to do with me whether you can bring back the fire cricket?
I can even secretly pierce the window paper and join forces with Cheng Shanping to deceive you together. Jian Yuanzhai can get the fire cricket, and Cheng Shanping can continue to be a traitor by your side to continue his plot. How good, I don’t have to be so inhumane inside and out. ! "The words were very sarcastic.
Sun Ping raised his hand to stop him, telling him to stop talking, and then advised the emotional Tie Miaoqing, "Miss, Lao Cheng has done his own evil. The matter has come to this, so it is better to express condolences and think about the living people. Miss, my boss is still waiting. Help us."
The implication is that it is up to Yu Qing to find the third fire cricket, and now he still has to find a way to get out of trouble.
Yu Qing didn't say that he had found all the fire crickets, and left it to Tie Miaoqing to figure out what to do. If he really couldn't get over this hurdle for a while, and if he really recruited people from Jian Yuanzhai, then he wouldn't care about the lives of these people. , I can't care about it, I will only care about myself first and run away from others.
"Miss, Lao Cheng has admitted that the people from Jian Yuanzhai are ambushing outside, and getting away now is the first priority..."
After Sun Ping muttered and persuaded for a while, Tie Miaoqing gradually calmed down. The situation was stronger than others, and it was really urgent. She could only suppress her emotions and asked: "You said before that there was a way to escape, but really of?"
Is there a way out? Sun Ping immediately stared at Yu Qing, which was what she was most anxious about right now.
Yu Qing: "Of course there are ways, but your attitude is very scary. Now I'm afraid you will burn bridges."
Sun Ping sighed: "Ashiheng, you are a sensible person, and you have made it very clear. If Jian Yuanzhai knows your identity, we will not touch you."
This was what Yu Qing was waiting for. Without saying a word, he walked to Cheng Shanping's body, leaned over and held the hilt of the sword stuck in the body. He remembered the scene of this man stepping on his face on the ground, and also Thinking of the time when his neck was almost broken, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said something in his heart: How can I be easily bullied when I am so cute and don't see many people?
He pulled out the sword from the corpse, returned the heavy sword to its sheath, and then half-crouched beside the corpse. He reached into Cheng Shanping's clothes and groped around for a while. He found his own items such as some magic dew and rainbow silk, and stuffed them back into his arms.
Even the dead were not spared. Zhu Shangbiao was offended by his actions, but before he could speak, he was stopped by Sun Ping. Sun Ping sighed and shook his head at him. This was already the case. He would talk to that guy again. Competing is not good.
When he got the things, there seemed to be a lot of banknotes. Yu Qing didn't count them in public. Anyway, he felt very solid, so he quickly stuffed them into his arms. After getting up, he said to the three people who were staring at him: "Let me make it clear first, I will take it." What I got back was my own stuff, the stuff he had taken from me before.”
If it weren't for the fact that the biggest fortune in this life was in the hands of Cheng Shanping, the situation might not have turned out like this.
When he first found out that Cheng Shanping was a traitor, he couldn't figure out what force was behind Cheng Shanping, and he didn't dare to offend him easily. His first thought was to expose it secretly to Tie Miaoqing and others, and then quietly find an excuse to go away. Cheng Shanping, a group of people threw Cheng Shanping away and ran away immediately.
However, thinking that most of his belongings were in the hands of Cheng Shanping, plus the old grievances from the past, he really couldn't swallow the bad breath of not seeking justice, so he acted like this.
Sun Ping ignored the scene before him and said as calmly as possible: "Do you really have a way to escape?"
After getting his belongings back, Yu Qing felt much better. He glanced at Tie Miaoqing who was silent and said, "If you are willing to listen to me, I will have a solution. If you are not willing to listen, there is nothing you can do."
Sun Ping sighed: "It's already like this, just tell me quickly."
Yu Qing tilted his head and motioned to her and Zhu Shangbiao, "You and your wife, go outside the cave and pretend that nothing has happened. Then chop down a tree nearby and come in."
Sun Ping was confused, "You're still cutting down trees? What do you mean? Are you still catching fire crickets here?"
"You will understand later of course." After Yu Qing said that, he remained silent. He should not be anxious. He had nothing to be anxious about.
I muttered in my heart, no matter how good-looking I am, it's not mine, so why should I look at your face?
Sun Ping was immediately worried by him. Just as he was about to ask again, Tie Miaoqing finally spoke, "Do as he said. The third fire cricket has been caught and placed in the tunnel for now."
"Caught?" Sun Ping and his wife said in unison, and were stunned at the same time. Their eyes moved from Tie Miaoqing's face to Yu Qing's face, surprised and surprised.
Without asking any more questions, Sun Ping waved to her husband, and they both ran out of the cave...
"Deacon, look."
Wu Kuang, who was hiding behind the thorn bushes, suddenly pointed at the couple coming out of the cave and reminded them.
Cui You pressed down the pointing hand, and he also saw it. He stared and observed, and found that he was cutting down trees.
With the cultivation skills of Sun Ping and his wife, it was no problem to cut down a tree. After trimming it and breaking it into several pieces, they put it directly into the cave.
Wu Kuang was puzzled, "Deacon, why are they cutting down trees again?"
Cui You knew it was for catching fire crickets and breathed a sigh of relief. "It seems that they are still struggling inside. Let everyone continue to lie down. We must not alert the snake!"
