[Forty-one] Fatal Strike

Before the sky was completely destroyed, Jiang Chengjia's small town was completely dark, she returned to the inn she had placed in the county town. Zhuying had already been waiting in the house. Nian Qian had prepared a decoction for her to replenish qi. The moment she returned, she immediately brought it up.

Smelling the bitter and fishy smell, Jiang Chengjia couldn't help but frowned, and then brought it over and drank it all.

She was filled with pain, and she endured the discomfort and looked at Zhuying, and asked in a low voice: "Now this time... why did you come to Jizhou if you are not in the capital to assist your brother? But what are the important things to repay?"

Zhuying frowned, hesitated for a while, and said stammeringly: "The Lord of the Pavilion... Fufeng recently returned to the Kuaiji Water Building and found that Qin Ye, who was detained in a secret room and was punished and taken seriously... was replaced by someone else without knowing it."

"What?! When did this happen?" Jiang Chengjia asked in surprise.

Zhuying looked puzzled: "It took a year after the wind blowing. After discovering this, I had investigated it carefully, but... there was no result. The person guarding the secret room was your and Yun Jingjun's confidant. There were people who entered and exited the secret room at any time. Even they didn't know when Qin Ye's bag was dropped..."

"The person behind this is so mysterious and so powerful... He can even hide the trusted guards of my brother and me..." Jiang Chengjia lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, and suddenly thought of something, "That can only be Zhou Yuandu."

The girl said to herself: "After he escaped from His Highness, he disappeared, and he has not found his trace until now. It is very likely that Qin Ye was taken away by him by a plan."

Since Zhou Yuanmo exposed Ning Nanyou's life experience last time in the villa, he was pressed by Lu Xun in the dungeon of the Rui Palace. After the incident in Changshan, before the Emperor of Wei sent people to encircle and suppress the Rui Palace, the man escaped in the chaos and still disappeared.

Zhuying said in surprise: "Zhou Yuanmo...how can he have such great ability?"

Jiang Chengjia's eyes sank, and slowly walked to the window, looking at the scenery downstairs, the light in her eyes became colder: "The situation in Jiuzhou may only be worse in the future."

The music of silk and bamboo came leisurely, accompanied by the hazy night, drifted into the distance with the cool night breeze.

The mountains, rivers and seas are surging, and the clouds are slowly surging in the quiet fog.

Border, Fuling City.

A trace of sad moonlight faintly appeared in the dark cage. A figure shrank in the wet corner, hunching over his body motionlessly. He hugged his knees, his eyes lost their luster and became dull and unconscious.

Suddenly, a slight sound of slight friction from the corridor beside the cage, and someone walked towards this side. A trace of his back stayed in the prison room. He stood up with his hands behind his back, staring at the corner of the cage, and said coldly: "Why... haven't you figured it out yet?"

The shadow in the corner curled up and did not move because of his words.

The person outside the prison looked silently for a while and said again: "You don't know yet, right? What happened outside in the six months since I replaced you and brought you out of Kuaiji?"

"Let me tell you... Emperor Wei was seriously ill. Jiang's family was holding Cheng's family to serve the prince of the Eastern Palace, but they never thought that Ning Zheng would provoke him, causing the inner palace to suspect. The whole family of Cheng's family caused disasters, the whole clan was killed, and your Cheng Pavilion was shallow. She died in a fire, died of grief and resentment, and she would never come back."

Finally, the person hidden in the darkness had a slight reaction. He moved his body slightly, and then a sound of a stone brick rubbing with iron chains came. Then he asked with a hoarse throat, "Zhou Yuanmo, what are you messing around?"

"I'm making up a mess? Why do I make up such lies to deceive you? Lu Sheng, you know... I never do meaningless things. Cheng clan has long been destroyed, and Chengge clan died miserably, and no one even collected his body. Chengge set fire to burn himself, and when he was discovered, he had already died. Lu Sheng, the girl you have been guarding for all your life was destroyed by the Emperor of Wei. Can you still bear it?"

"You're talking nonsense! Master Chen promised me that he promised me that he would definitely save the Cheng clan! How could this be... How could this be possible?" The man in the prison struggled to get up, his thin fingers tightly pressed against the wooden guardrail, his eyes were cold and cold, staring at Zhou Yuanmo who was standing outside the prison room, his eyes full of reluctance and anger.

"Master Chen? Chen Youzhi? Hahahahahaha..." Zhou Yuanmo laughed loudly, and changed his face instantly, and said coldly, "He Chen Youzhi has not known how many years he has been missing. I am afraid he has been silenced by Ning Zheng. How can he have any ability to protect the city and protect your city pavilion? As for the prince of the East Palace, it is even more absurd. When the Cheng family was pushed to the forefront by Ning Zheng, he had no ability to argue for them, and he even watched his mother and his family die unjustly. For his position as crown prince, he completely ignored his close relatives. The Empress of the City was neglected... He knew it, but he did not dare to break through the confinement of Emperor Wei, which led to the Queen losing hope of life and self-immolation. Lu Sheng, wake up. Outside this cage, there are a group of cruel and heartless people. Why do you have to be obsessed and act for them again and again?"

"I don't care about what you have done. You were in Guangxin City, deliberately opened the way for Ning Nanyou to let him leave, and then specially revealed my whereabouts to him, causing me to fall into their siege and be taken back to Jianye. These... are no longer counted, and I don't want to get entangled with you anymore. I just ask you one question, will you repay the revenge of the Cheng family?"

Zhou Yuanmo's urging and coercion almost made the people in the cage fall into madness. Qin Ye grabbed the guardrail with one hand and slapped the straw under his body with the other hand, and shouted wildly: "Ah!!"

His eyes were red and he said in pain and despair: "Why? Why do you tell me this?"

Zhou Yuanmo snorted coldly: "I just want you to know... the people you care about are not important in the hearts of those who disobey and false love. They are just chess pieces that can be sacrificed at any time."

"Uncle Murong Zong...you, you." Qin Ye stared at him, but couldn't speak, his voice became weaker and weaker. Finally, he leaned against the wall of the cell with a dejected look and started to laugh at himself, "I thought I could escape these nightmares, but I was finally caught in this situation. How ridiculous and ridiculous!"

After a moment of calmness, Qin Ye said disheartenedly: "Okay, I promise you to cooperate with you. But the premise is... When things come true, you must hand over the Emperor of Wei to me and let me solve him personally."

Zhou Yuanmo agreed without hesitation: "Yes. I can agree to all your conditions. As long as you are willing to cooperate with me, we will overthrow the Great Wei and unify the Jiuzhou world."

Qin Ye stopped talking to him and lowered his head weakly.

Zhou Yuanmo glanced down at him and said lightly: "In half an hour, someone will come to take you out. I'll leave first."

After saying that, the boy outside the cell left, and only empty and loneliness were left in the dark and wet floor. Qin Ye slowly crawled back to the corner step by step, looking up at the small window at the top of the cold stone wall, his eyes were empty and dull. He pinched the back of his hand tightly, and even if he pinched the blue-purple color, he did not dare to defend.

After all... he came to this point, but he still couldn't protect the most important person. Qin Ye was upset and regretful, and even thought... If he hadn't agreed to Chen Youzhi and did not choose to help Ning Nanyou, would the ending be different from now?

He obeyed Chen Youzhi and followed Zhou Yuanmo to join Zhong Dynasty and Zhan Po and other countries. According to Master Chen, he pretended to plan and plan around Zhou Yuanmo, in order to grasp first-hand news and inform Ning Nanyou. Chen Youzhi had great ambitions and wanted to use external forces to subvert the Great Wei, bully the land back, and strive to ensure Ning Nanyou ascend the throne, restore the dynasty and the people to be happy, and rehabilitate Chang Mengjun and the four major clans.

He and Chen Youzhi are in a similar ambitions. After learning about Ning Nanyou's life experience, he hoped that he could fulfill the expectations of his ancestors and restore peace to the Great Wei. He resolutely agreed to all the requests of Master Chen, investigate the information of the enemy camp for him, lurking around Zhou Yuanmo for him, waiting for dispatch anytime and anywhere.

After he and Zhou Yuanmo were arrested in Guangxin, he almost had no struggle and allowed the breeze and Zhuying to send him back to Kuaiji. He thought that what he should have done was over and could stay in the water tower to prepare for his remaining life, but he didn't expect... he still couldn't get what he wanted.

The death of Chenggeqian made him heartbroken.

He felt that this world was too unfair, that truly good people could not survive, and those mean, selfish, and cunning people who were mean, ungrateful, selfish, and committed all kinds of evil still survived in this world, extremely arrogant and arrogant.

Qin Ye hugged himself into a ball, buried his face in his arms, and cried bitterly. The faint sobs of sobs all expressed his unwillingness and resentment throughout his life.

Zhou Yuanmo quickly walked out of the dungeon. On the steps, the water river was waiting patiently under the withered willow trees.

The boy smiled, stepped towards her, and said tenderly, "I'm going to wait. Let's go?"

Shuihe stared at him, turned his head and glanced at the dark and dark dungeon entrance, and asked silently for a moment: "Zhou Lang, who are the people who are imprisoned here?"

Zhou Yuanmo instantly turned cold, and the chill in his eyes gradually arose: "You shouldn't know, don't ask more questions."

Shuihe looked at him, and suddenly felt a chill behind him. He didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he could only calm down. Seeing that she was obedient, the man in front of him smiled again and coaxed her softly and said, "Let's go, it's time to have dinner."

Zhou Yuanmo hugged her and walked forward, and Shuihe had to follow his steps and did not dare to fall behind.

She looked up at the husband beside her, and her heart was mixed. Since she rescued Zhou Yuanmo from Jianye, he has always brought her by her side and never thought of sending her away. For more than four years, she has been by his side, and has seen him massacre innocent people with her own eyes; she saw him step by step into the abyss without knowing it; she saw him gradually losing his nature and no longer the original Zhou Lang. Every time he made a mistake, her heart was as trampled, but she was greedy for his tenderness and was unwilling to break the only trace of beauty, and she always endured it.

However, in recent days, old friends and scenes have always entered her dream without warning, which has disturbed her so much that she cannot rest assured. Shuihe is becoming more and more afraid that Zhou Yuanmu will go deeper astray and there is no possibility of recovery.

The more she was worried, the more gentle Zhou Yuanmo was to her, and she refused to let her go, but she refused to change herself, which disturbed Shuihe's mood and made her increasingly unable to make a choice between old friends and him.
