with words in mind

Chapter 278: The Diverging Minds and Shadows 3
"This matter was caused by me alone! Please forgive me, Pavilion Master! Let my brother go!" Zhu Wangshan broke away from his brother's strong arm and resisted with his body! "I will always remember the kindness from ten years ago! If the pavilion master wants to take his life to answer, take mine!!"

The kindness from ten years ago?Zhu Mengxin guessed, could it be that the cousin who said that he had placed someone to save him was referring to the mysterious person in front of him?
"Life is very valuable, but sometimes, it is worthless." The tone of the man in the dark green robe was still cold, "The Lord does not want your life. You know what he wants."

"The tasks assigned to me by the Lord have been completed. I have sent out those weapons secretly, and they will arrive soon!" Zhu Wangshan said, restraining his body from trembling!

"The lord wants you to escort him personally and bring him back." The man in the dark green robe said unhurriedly, looking slightly sideways at the person behind him.

"!" Zhu Mengxin couldn't help trembling when he heard this!Who is this mysterious man?Who is the Lord?Why bring him back?

"Oh" Zhu Wangshan smiled bitterly, "Although my cousin is not a good person, he has never had anything to do with the Lord's plans. Why did the Lord want him? Isn't it just to blackmail me with him?! The master has served for many years, but he just wants a piece of freedom! Why is the pavilion master so aggressive?!" In the last sentence, his tone was almost pleading!
"." The man in the dark green robe didn't move at all, and after a moment of contemplation, he said, "I wanted to save you, so I detoxified you with the Xianqing Pill. However, if you want to escape, or fall into the hands of King Yi'an, you will only die .”

".I know. After seeing the bamboo leaves, I am even more sure that it is you, the pavilion master!" Zhu Wangshan couldn't control his trembling voice, and tried to maintain a steady tone. "When those dead men appeared, I thought it was the Shang Dynasty. The lord sent people to kill me. Hehe." As he spoke, he sneered self-deprecatingly, "After thinking about it, I am a frail scholar, do I need to send so many dead men?
When King Yi'an asked, I was sure that those dead men were only targeting him!Rather than die in their hands, I would rather give my life to you!Just ask the master!Let others go! ! "As he said, he bent his knees and wanted to kneel down to beg, but he was afraid that he would not be able to cover his younger brother, so he could only half-bend his legs, neither up nor down, looking very pitiful.
Under the butterfly mask, the mysterious man frowned slightly.
The sea breeze is blowing through the ears, and the waves are surging layer by layer, beating a warship like a compassionate heart beating a principled position
Zhu Wangshan felt the other party's hesitation, and understood that his bitter trick had worked!He used the fastest speed in his life, turned around unexpectedly, and pushed his brother out of the boat! ! !

"Cousin—"

boom!Zhu Mengxin couldn't believe it and yelled!Its mournful cries were drowned out by the sound of falling water! ! !

"!" The man in the dark green robe came back to his senses!Get up and fly!
"Ugh!" Zhu Wangshan jumped vigorously!Grab each other's boots!
The man in the dark green robe fell back to the deck due to the weight!

Zhu Wangshan fell heavily because of this!He dragged the other party and shouted to the sea: "Go! Don't look back!!!"

"!!!" The man in the dark green robe concentrated his attention, pulled out the extremely thin bamboo sword from his waist, held it with his backhand, and injected sword energy!Stab the shoulder of the person at your feet! "Why bother, my lord?!"

"Ugh!!" Zhu Wangshan held back the severe pain, showing a face of death, and shouted, "Don't worry, Master. One day, you will be desperate because of the person you care about!!! Hahaha~ "He laughed weakly but sarcastically, because he believed that the pavilion master was not really hard-hearted, which is why he was willing to die in the opponent's hands!

The man in the dark green robe pulled out his bamboo sword, but stabbed again!This time, it was a sword kill! ! !
But what he didn't expect was that even though Zhu Wangshan died, he still held on to his ankle tightly and never let go!When he moved to the edge of the boat and looked down, there was no movement on the sea.
He put away his sword, Xiao Chou, and took some effort to open Zhu Wangshan's fingers, and looked around the whole ship. Unfortunately, he didn't find any trace of Zhu Mengxin, but saw a ship approaching from afar.
Under the bright sky, the black robe was very conspicuous, and he had no choice but to give up Zhu Mengxin.Immediately afterwards, he took the bandit's broadsword, thrust it into Zhu Wangshan's shoulder with all his strength, pulled it out, and inserted it into the fatal wound!Use this to cover up the sword marks of the bamboo sword! !
After finishing everything, he jumped into the sea under the cover of the cabin! ! !
After the Mingzhou Navy's ship approached slowly, it received the shells after confirming that the enemy ship had not moved. A group of sailors boarded the ship in batches and began to check.

The man in the dark green robe held his breath and swam in the water, taking the opportunity to bypass Zhuwangshan's boat and swim towards the Mingzhou Navy's boat.
"Be quick! See if there are any survivors!" Sailor urged the chief!

"My lord! We found it!" A sailor came out from the bottom of the cabin and reported, "There are slaves inside, no bandits!"

"My lord! Zhu Wangshan is dead!" Another sailor reported, "The remaining bandits are all killed!"

"Bring back the corpse and those slaves!"

"Yes!"

Shexian Island Wharf.

After Yang Mitu regained consciousness and recuperated, he and Yan Mo searched for the person together, but to no avail.

On the main battleship, senior one and senior two are helping the prince to deal with the injuries on his left shoulder and arm.

"My lord." Gao Yi scraped off the rotten flesh for the other party, and seeing the dark blood oozing, he said with some distress, "Ever since you accepted the concubine, you have been injured constantly. It is important to find people, but the concubine can't just worry about it." Don't care about others, don't care about you." He felt that the princess must come to deal with the wound for the prince!It's just right to have a skin-to-skin date at this time, to cherish each other, and to love each other~
"What is the crime of talking about the master behind his back?" Qi Ming endured the pain, his face remained unchanged, and seeing that the other party had stopped talking, he continued, "You must not tell the princess about this."

"Yes" Gao Yi sighed softly in his heart, no wonder the princess only cared about looking for her brother, so she didn't know anything!its not right!Why doesn't the prince want to say it?Whenever the prince is injured, the princess is very concerned about it!

"Why doesn't the prince want to say it? Whenever the prince is injured, the princess is very concerned!"

Gao Yi suddenly raised his head, almost thinking that he had spoken his heart!It turned out that the person who spoke was the sophomore in high school! !

"It seems that you have been with Lu Jiu too much and have become like him?" Qi Ming asked the two guards sideways.

"My lord, please forgive me." The second year in high school understood immediately that the lord was saying that the two brothers talked too much in disguise, so he begged to shut up immediately.

Tuk Tuk Tuk.

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the cabin, and Qi Ming looked up at the figure on the door, and knew it was Bai Xue.

"My lord, His Royal Highness is here to invite you."

"Wait a while." Seeing that the wound had been treated, Qi Ming got up and straightened his clothes after the bandage was tied, opened the door and left with Bai Xue.

After they entered the bilge, Qi Ming saw that the prince was about to salute.
"Brother Ming is free of courtesy." Prince Zheng had a gentle face, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he took the lead to go deep.

Bai Xue took the initiative to stay where she was.

The light at the bottom of the cabin was dim, Qi Ming followed respectfully, looking at Brother Huang's back, there was always an indescribable meaning.
"After a few days away, brother Huang's internal strength has improved." He stared at the other party's flickering figure, opening his senses.

The prince looked straight ahead and said with a smirk: "Master has warned me in many ways, hope that I will improve my martial arts and strengthen my body. I should not disappoint his old man's wishes."

"." Qi Ming listened and observed at the same time, suddenly felt that he and brother Huang are really brothers!The other party's way of speaking and the feeling they give people are exactly the same as when he smiles at others!
Knowing that the other party couldn't see his face, Qi Zheng rolled his eyes, smiled disdainfully, strode to the iron cage, and then recovered his gentle expression: "This time I'm going to Jiangnan, I have two tasks. .One is to bring back the Nine Emperor Brothers, and the other is him."

Qi Ming pulled back his thoughts and turned his head to see that it was Yuan Xiao who was imprisoned in the iron cage!
When the emperor interrogated Yuan Xiao's three divisions, the prince had already set off to Jiangnan. After the interrogation was over, he sent Yuan Xiao to parade through the streets, and finally let the prince take over!

Prince Zheng: "He is the key to clarifying the relationship between all parties in Jiangnan. Just in case, after taking over, I will always keep him with me."

After being humiliated all the way, Yuan Xiao's appearance was very messy. He slumped in the cage, silent, as if unconscious.
In the past few days on Snake Island, Qi Ming didn't know what happened outside, but seeing Yuan Xiao's appearance, he could roughly guess what kind of arrangements his father had made.

"Father made great fanfare and let him go all the way south." Prince Zheng continued, "I heard that, except for a few resentful people who wanted to kick him, it was pretty smooth. He can reach Mingzhou alive, even I think Surprised!" As he spoke, he couldn't help chuckling, showing a trace of contempt and disdain.

Qi Ming tried to ask the person in the cage: "Is Zhu Wangshan yours?"

"In the past few days, I have interrogated him many times, and he always looks like this." Prince Zheng looked at the silent Yuan Xiao and said.

Qi Ming: "Did you ask the doctor to see you?"

Prince Zheng: "Naturally. The doctor said that he has been humiliated in many ways and his mind has been damaged. If he wants to recover, he must be treated kindly. Afterwards, I ordered someone to wash and change his clothes, but he still refused. Food is not good. Bad, he is willing to eat anything."

Qi Ming: "Father, what is your plan for him?"

Prince Zheng: "After the interrogation by the three divisions, he was convicted of corruption and treason. He was sent to parade in the streets and went all the way south. Ten days later, he will be executed in Mingzhou."

Qi Ming: "For such a serious crime, why didn't the emperor directly ask him to be executed in the capital, but sent him thousands of miles away to parade him in the streets?"

Prince Zheng: "I don't know the specific interrogation process. When I received the emperor's imperial edict, this was the result. I think, instead of asking him to kill him directly, the father sent him to parade in the street for the purpose of catching and watching. Is there any missing fox tail? This is one, and the second is to let the people in the south of the Yangtze River vent their anger and slow down the image of public anger towards the court."

When the two were talking, Bai Xue kept guarding the door of the cabin to prevent anyone from approaching. He couldn't hear the conversation inside, but he could hear the sound outside clearly.

"His Royal Highness." Outside the door, General Ge came to report, "Zhu Wangshan has been found."

Bai Xue: "Understood, let's go down."

After the sound of footsteps outside the door left, Bai Xue went deep to report the situation.

"His Royal Highness, Prince, Zhu Wangshan has been found."

On the other side, Yan Mo and Yang Mitu had already turned Wangba's private house upside down, and after confirming that Qing Muhui could not be in the mansion, the two led the sailors to search the entire island.

It wasn't until someone came to report that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had an invitation, that Yan Mo followed the informant back to the main battleship.

After the crown prince, King Yi'an, and princess were all in place, the general who had found Zhuwangshan saluted respectfully and began to report.

"All the bandits on board have been killed, and the kidnapped slaves have been rescued and placed properly. This is Zhu Wangshan's body. There are two wounds on his back, both of which are knife wounds. The subordinates believe that there must be internal strife among them. Cannibalism to death!"

Yan Mo took a closer look at Zhu Wangshan's body. Those two places were indeed stab wounds, but she was very puzzled. If the stab wound was only on the back of the heart, it was obvious that someone took advantage of his unpreparedness and attacked from behind, killing him with a single knife.But, what happened to the knife wound on Zhu Wangshan's shoulder?

If Zhu Wangshan was attacked from the back first and hit his shoulder, then out of defense, he should have other injuries such as scratches on his body, and then he was fatally stabbed and died
If Zhu Wangshan was killed with a single knife, why did the murderer make up for the knife on his shoulder?

If the two wounds were attacked by different people at the same time, then the directions of the wounds would be different. However, the two wounds were almost parallel, unlike two people attacking at the same time.

Moreover, the most important thing is that there is no Zhu Mengxin in the bandit's body!
"There is one more person, why is it missing?" Yan Mo was afraid that the sailors would not recognize Zhu Mengxin, so he described, "This person is strong and strong, about this tall, with a broad face and thick eyebrows."

The general manager: "Qi Wangfei, all the living people on board are those slaves. They are all emaciated, and there is no such person as the princess said. And all the corpses on board are here."

Could it be that Zhu Mengxin did all this?Yan Mo still guessed no!Those bandits seemed very sincere, they all escaped from Shexian Island, why did they kill Zhuwangshan? !If Zhu Mengxin wanted to escape by himself, he could leave Zhu Wangshan at the back door of his private house. What's more, how did Zhu Mengxin disappear in the huge East China Sea? !

Qi Ming also noticed the incongruity of the deceased's wound, and the first thing he thought of was the secret person who wanted to kill Zhu Wangshan, but he couldn't figure out what was that person's intention?
If he wanted to make a move, he could have done so long ago. After the battle in the main hall, he and Yan'er were trapped in the dungeon for a long time. It was easy for a master to kill a powerless person.

Why, Zhu Wangshan has escaped, so who will do it?
Yan Mo also thought of this!The only one who can act without leaving traces is a killer! !However, she also couldn't figure out why brother Moyu wanted to kill Zhu Wangshan?
This side is still thinking, and on the other side, the man in the dark green robe secretly returned to the coast on a ship of the Mingzhou Navy.While the sailors were carrying the corpses, he found a gap and quietly changed a ship!Now that the navy has enough troops, he has to find a way to get back to his private house so that he can recover his identity!
Who knows!While avoiding the sailors on board, he accidentally saw the butterfly print on the prism of the cabin!In other words, his mission target is on this ship! ! !
　Match the character with weapons, so it makes sense to use "swords"?Then, today I suddenly realized that it seemed to be a "sword"
