June 16th, there are still six days until today, and it has been a month since Xu Zhuchen left Yanshan Inn.
Xu Zhuchen looked at Litian's determined face and felt a surge in his heart.
"Okay," she took Jiang Litian's hand and said word by word, "you go to live a good life and live the life you should have."
Early the next morning, Xu Zhuchen sent Litian to the weapons shop to pawned a sword in exchange for some lightweight and short weapons. Litian was very fast on her feet. When she came back, she reported that Boss Li was talking bad about her behind her back.
"What did she say about me?"
Litian thought for a while and repeated the words exactly as they were: "Oh my, my Xu Zhuchen's trip here is really a waste of people and money."
Xu Zhuchen laughed, nodded, and asked Litian to go to the Yamen to get an old complaint. After watching Litian go out, she coughed twice and signaled Litian to come out.
"Tell me the information you have in detail."
Jiang Lidi walked out from behind the small door of the bathroom. His face was a little pale, but his eyes were very firm.
"I have confirmed that although Wang He is an eunuch from the palace, he has indeed no communication with the palace. Although I don't know the specific location, there are no other words on the letter, and there is no signature. It can only be with that person. Meet Han Ling."
Xu Zhuchen nodded and poured him a cup of tea.
"You might have to work harder to find out more about the location. Speaking of which, what happened to what I asked you before?" Xu Zhuchen put the teapot away and said, "About that person."
Jiang glanced at the tea without drinking it: "She... is indeed still alive. A year ago, someone unknown erased her death record and even restored her name."
Xu Zhuchen held the tea cup and asked: "Are you sure that the person on the name certificate is exactly the same as the one I drew?"
Jiang Li nodded: "The name certificate is realistic and meticulous, and it is exactly the same as the person in the painting."
Xu Zhuchen then asked: "What is her current name written in the household registration?"
Jiang Lidi's frown relaxed for a moment, and his face showed an expression that was about to smile but not yet.
"Her name is...Zhou Lianhua."
Before Litian came back, Xu Zhuchen stuffed some hawthorn pot helmets into Litian and asked him to take them with him on the way. Jiang Lidi looked at the yellow and fragrant pot helmet in his hand, and smiled with relief.
"Sister, she knew you would come looking for me. She made this specially." Jiang Li took a bite of the pot helmet, biting off the red pulp filling. The sweet and sour smell hit his face, and the dripping juice shone brightly. One glance made people twitch, "Xu Daxia, I really admire you, why do you make my eldest sister so submissive?"
Xu Zhuchen frowned and said, "Don't use this word. We are partners. Litian and I, and you two brothers."
Jiang Li shook his head but didn't say anything. He finished a piece of Guokui before he said: "I have always had a wish, but now it seems that I may not be able to achieve it."
After he finished speaking, he stretched out a finger, pointed to the northwest where Wang He was, and said with a smile: "Sometimes, being too respected is not a good thing, especially being respected by a eunuch."
Xu Zhuchen understood what he was talking about in an instant, and felt a little horrified for a moment: "You mean, Wang He is so cruel to this person?"
Jiang Li smiled. He didn't want to talk about it, but it was stuck in his heart, and he felt so uncomfortable that he wanted to vomit and cry day and night. The shadow of Wang He and the shadow of disability shrouded him, making him clutch his fingers tightly when dreaming, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
Now that I have spoken out, the heaviness in my chest has disappeared, but the sadness and horror still linger.
Jiang laughed straight and loudly, spitting out his sorrows one after another. He laughed so hard that he beat his chest and beat his feet, laughing until tears flowed down his face, until his whole body convulsed.
In the final analysis, he is only a sixteen or seventeen-year-old child. How can he know why some people give their misfortune to others and call it "honor".
Xu Zhuchen looked at him pitifully, seeing that he was so excited that he vomited out the hawthorn pot helmet he had just eaten. She held Jiang Lidi's shoulders to prevent him from falling. Before she could speak, the window was opened from the outside with a "hula", and Jiang Litian fell heavily into the room.
Xu Zhuchen supported Jiang Lidi and was about to hand him over to Litian when he saw Litian raise his hand and slap Jiang Lidi three times.
"Don't cherish food! Don't report the situation! Don't trust your family!"
After she finished the beating, she threw Jiang Li, who was shaking and crying, onto the wicker chair, and knelt down heavily facing Xu Zhuchen.
"Xu Daxia! Please save my brother's life. Jiang Litian is willing to be a bull or a horse, and his liver and brain will be ruined!"
He cried more and more and couldn't stop. He climbed down and tried to pick up his sister, but the thin and shriveled Jiang Litian remained motionless on the ground.
"Xu Daxia, you have helped us enough. I really don't have the shame to continue to beg you, but there is only one thing... you also have a younger brother. I beg you, I can't watch him become disabled!"
Xu Zhuchen was stunned for a moment before he remembered Xu Zhujue who was far away in Meichuan. Thinking of Zhu Jue who gets up early every day and shaves his beard meticulously, it doesn’t seem like a bad thing to become a eunuch?
But the young couple in front of him were crying so pitifully. Xu Zhuchen pulled up each of them by one arm, stuffed them into chairs, and said: "It's not impossible to help you one more time, but this matter is really difficult. .”
"Unless," Xu Zhuchen looked at the two of them with lost eyes, and said calmly, "we will take action tonight. As soon as the surprise troops come out, we will catch them off guard."
This was what she thought from the very beginning, when she followed the instructions in the note and came to the Hidden Bamboo Valley.
If she hadn't heard Jiang Litian reveal his life experience and knew that this was her old friend, she would have wiped out the den of thieves at this moment.
She did not feel that the Jiang siblings were in the way. On the contrary, precisely because of the existence of the three of them, Xu Zhuchen could take a break and suppress his murderous intention.
No martial artist dares to touch his conscience and say, "I have never thought of killing someone in my life." Even the gentlest Shaolin Buddha will be subtly affected by the bloodshed once he enters the world. When I finally looked back, my hands were already bloody and I couldn't turn the page and I was in debt.
But seeing these three children, she would always think of Uncle Han consciously or unconsciously.
When Uncle Han looked at her, was it like she looked at the Jiang siblings?
She once believed that Uncle Han would be able to create a peaceful and just world without killing.
She was so determined that she would support this new world throughout her life.
But the dream ended too early. One night with a clear moonlight, her mother stopped her and told her that from now on, she should never mention the name "Han Boli" again. At that time, she didn't know the meaning, but she could feel the pain after this order.
This scar, which always exuded dull pain, did not completely open until this martial arts competition, leaking out gurgling blood.
How many Jiang Litians are there in the world?
How many Jiang Litians are there in the world who have not been helped?
How many more... are there of hers in the world?
Xu Zhuchen looked at the site and made up his mind——
From today on, the person who cleans up the world and creates a new order is Xu Zhuchen.
He immediately covered their heads with black cloth and connected their wrists with iron chains. He showed his "Deputy Commander of the White Horse Camp" token in front of the ruined temple, and was welcomed in by the guard with a flattering smile.
He has always been serious in speech and only made a flattering appearance in front of Wang He, so his relationship with his peers in the White Horse Camp was quite average. Jiang Lidi naturally knew what those people were talking about him, but he didn't care.
Rather, the increase in this kind of discussion will only make the name "Jiang Lidi" more famous.
Everything in the headquarters is in order, and different positions are responsible for different tasks. Jiang Lidi has no power to change this. Therefore, he sent Xu Zhuchen and Litian to the hands of the servants and returned to his camp.
His mood was up and down today, and he felt a little haggard, so he chose a more remote path back to camp.
This path was behind Wang He's tent, and usually few people walked on it. Today, when Jiang Li was halfway through, he heard a noise coming from the front, as if someone was talking.
Jiang Li felt something was wrong, so he put away his inner strength and hid behind the tree beside the road.
Not long after, figures passed by him one after another, holding some fruits, flowers, etc. in their hands, entering and exiting the big tent. After a while, many rare things were brought up, many of which were engraved with the word "imperial".
Jiang Li was frightened. Looking at the people coming and going, he had a terrible guess in his mind.
"Xiang" is composed of the three characters "Sixteenth", but this month is June. If the word order is exchanged, it would be "sixtieth day", June 10th, which is exactly today.
Jiang Lidi ran away as if struck by a bolt from the blue, wanting to report the news to the two men in the dungeon.
He ran out a few steps and was suddenly tapped on the shoulder by someone from behind:
"Li Di, everyone is busy preparing for the banquet today. You have to be more cautious and don't cause chaos for everyone."
Jiang Li stood stiffly on the spot. Before he could clear up his expression, he heard a childish voice:
"Second brother, we can also attend today's banquet. Come and see if the clothes Mrs. Wang picked for me look good!"
After all the tricks, Jiang Liren was forgotten.
Xu Zhuchen and Jiang Litian followed the servants all the way into the dungeon, and then they had time to take off their hoods. Seeing that they came to a deserted corner, the two of them exchanged glances and took action at the same time, quietly knocking out the two handymen in front and behind.
Jiang Litian was familiar with the layout of the headquarters, and took Xu Zhuchen to drag the two of them away, hide in a hidden cave, and start changing clothes.
The uniforms of Wang He's men could all be changed in size. Litian put on his uniform, then turned aside to help Xu Zhuchen fasten his suspenders.
For this occasion, Xu Zhuchen specially tied up his long hair, covered it with two layers of black gauze, dyed his eyebrows black, and covered his face with mud. Now wearing the black uniform painted with auspicious clouds of the handyman, and pulling the gauze on the brim of the hat to the tip of his nose, it is even harder to tell who is who.
After doing this, the two of them were about to go out when they suddenly heard the sound of chains above their heads. A few chaotic footsteps rushed into the dungeon, and a thin male voice said: "They are in here!"
