Chapter 22 You have to love those who speak for you

Chen Ju was lying just a few steps away from the entrance of the alley, just take a few steps, and the road is just right in front of him.

He Huan stood in front of the corpse with a livid face, and a guard squatted on the side to check, "I was stabbed in the stomach first, and then fell off the horse."

He Huan didn't pay attention to this, he paid attention to the three sticks of incense.

The [-]% of the incense burnt on the three sticks means that the murderer has not been away for a long time.

The people around him whispered: "It's like paying tribute to someone."

He Huan sneered and asked, "Who does Chen Ju have enemies with?"

The man beside him said, "Chen Ju lives in a secluded place, either here, at home, or in a brothel."

He Huan thought for a while, the people around him became quiet, only the various sounds from the people inside the walls on both sides.After a long time, he said: "That is to say, the biggest possibility is the brothel... and people are jealous over women."

He Huan couldn't imagine that his confidant was killed because of jealousy, and it was rumored that He was shameless.

The man beside him looked embarrassed, "No."

He Huan turned around and asked, "Why?"

The man said uncomfortably: "Chen Ju likes... the older ones, and no one can rob them."

He Huan was speechless for a moment, then said coldly: "That is He's opponent. To pay homage... This means who He killed the other party. Who has He killed recently?"

A stubborn old man appeared in everyone's mind. After the old man died, he refused to close his eyes. It still makes me feel chills to think about it.

He Huan gritted his teeth and said, "That old dog who didn't deserve to die... Yan Cheng!"

Before he finished speaking, the guard who was checking the cause of Chen Ju's death moved his body.

A slight voice came, and a cold light flashed.

The man beside He Huan grabbed him and yanked him, and at the same time warned, "Be careful!"

The short arrow brushed past He Huan's cheek, and screams came from behind.

"what!"

Not long after, the guard with the arrow behind him turned black and lost his voice.Someone checked and looked up and said: "The poison of arrow quenching is unclear, and Chang'an has never appeared."

He Huan carefully looked at the small crossbow arrow that was sent to the front, and was afraid for a while.If he hadn't been pulled away before, he would have fallen to the ground now.

The workmanship of crossbow arrows is not exquisite, and the materials are not very good, but these simple materials constitute a weapon for killing people.

The crossbow is also very small and rough, and the guard who inspected it said in disbelief: "The bowstring is much weaker when you pull it again. This is..." He raised his head and felt that the people who started the attack were poor!
He Huan turned around with a livid face, "Find this person, I want to see the person in life, but I want to see the corpse in death!"

On a tree diagonally opposite the He's gate, Yang Xuan squatted on the trunk and said softly, "It's a pity I couldn't kill He Huan."

He quietly got down from the tree and cupped his hands in the direction of the three sticks of incense.

……

Wang's.

Wang Douxiang was sitting in the study, holding a volume of books in her hand, and when she heard footsteps approaching lightly outside, there was a hint of sneakiness, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth.

The people outside rushed in and shouted, "Second Uncle!"

Wang Douxiang jumped up suddenly, and said with a look of panic: "Who?!"

"It's me!" Wang Xian'er smiled happily.

"Xian'er!" Wang Douxiang sat down with a smile, "Naughty!"

Wang Xian'er looked at the bookshelf with her hands behind her back, "Second Uncle, it's so boring at home."

Wang Douxiang said angrily, "Then go to study."

Wang Xian'er shook her head, her hair on the temples swayed, and asked curiously, "Aye said that there has been an undercurrent in Chang'an recently, so please don't go out. Second uncle, where is the undercurrent surging?"

Wang Yu came in outside, he frowned and said, "Xian'er is here to make trouble for the second uncle again."

Under the candlelight, Wang Xian'er said dissatisfiedly, "Second uncle likes me to come here the most, if you don't believe me, ask."

Wang Douxiang smiled, "Yes!"

Wang Yu's face darkened and he said, "Second uncle and I have something to talk about."

Wang Xian'er resigned obediently, and after going out, she faintly heard what her brother said...

"Second uncle, Yan Cheng was killed today, and Mr. He was the one behind the scenes."

Yancheng?

The girl tilted her head and thought about it, as if she remembered someone mentioning it, saying it was a very stubborn old man.Killed?He was really overbearing.

There was some disdain in Wang Douxiang's voice, "He Huan is the most proud dog of the Yang family. The last shot failed, and this time the attack was successful. How many people in Chang'an City will cheer for him."

Wang Xian'er had met He Huan. The last time this person came to Wang's family to give gifts and talk about something, the two met each other in a hurry.

Wang Yu whispered: "Just before, Chen Ju, He's aide, was killed, right at the entrance of the alley where He was."

Wang Xian'er pursed her lips, thinking that this person died well.

"It's good to die." Wang Douxiang heard her niece's movement outside, and said gently, "Xian'er come in."

Wang Xian'er explained first when she came in, "Second uncle, I didn't eavesdrop."

Wang Yu said angrily, "Why didn't you leave if you didn't eavesdrop?"

Wang Xian'er was angry, and Wang Douxiang hurriedly glared at Wang Yu, "Speak well, don't be mad at Xian'er."

Wang Yu said helplessly, "Second uncle, please spoil her."

The candle flame blew abruptly, the flames flashed, and Wang Yu said, "He Huan went to check, it is said that he was almost killed by the crossbow set by the murderer."

Wang Douxiang was stunned, "There are a lot of killings secretly in Chang'an City, but it is unheard of for such organs to be ambushed. Why does this old man feel more like... hunting?"

A name popped into Wang Yu's mind, but then she burst into laughter, feeling that what she was thinking was inexplicable.

Wang Douxiang also thought of Yang Xuan, and said, "The old man thinks of Yang Xuan, that young man is a hunter, but he is studying in Guozijian, where would he conflict with He?"

After the last siege of Yancheng was destroyed by Yang Xuan, the He family blocked the news.In addition, Yang Xuan was just a country boy, so he passed by quietly.

Wang Xian'er put her cheeks in her hands, and suddenly asked, "Brother, is Guozijian fun?"

Wang Yu frowned, feeling that her sister would come out as soon as she wanted to, "What are you playing? That's the place of metaphysics."

The candle light shone on Wang Xian'er's face, and she said longingly, "Metaphysics is not bad!"

Wang Yu sneered, "Xuanxue bragging is not bad. If the headmaster had rescued Emperor Wu, he begged Emperor Wu to help him before leaving. Emperor Wu had no choice but to hand over the Guozijian to Xuanxue, who would starve to death."

Wang Douxiang also smiled, "Metaphysics is not good at building momentum, and there is no such wide-ranging teaching in the teachings, so for many years they have been dead. Anyone who has some prospects, most of them hide in the mountains to cultivate, or find a mountain forest. Wouldn't it be a pleasure to talk with colleagues on a daily basis."

Wang Yu finally said: "The He Clan dispatched a lot of people crazily, and Jin Wuwei also dispatched to look for clues about the murderer in Chang'an City. The He Clan offered a reward of [-] yuan for the news of that person, and those evil young masters and Rangers also dispatched. "

Wang Douxiang looked at the night sky outside and said softly, "Tonight, Chang'an has no sleep."

……

Yang Xuan quietly returned home from the broken wall, washed his clothes first, and found a patch opened after washing, and said dissatisfiedly: "Life is already difficult, can't you hold on for a while longer?"

It can't be repaired yet, otherwise the clothes will be deformed after drying.

He immediately went to take a cold shower, came back and sat on the steps, solemnly placing the scroll beside him.He even poured two bowls of water, one in front of him and the other in front of the scroll, as if sitting side by side with friends.

The moon is like water.There are trees in the yard, which Yang Xuan pruned only yesterday.At this moment, the night wind is blowing, and the branches and leaves are rustling, which is extraordinarily clear in the quiet night.

He raised the bowl and touched the bowl next to him, and said: "The first time I killed people was in the mountains. I was 11 years old that year. There was a Southern Zhou hunter with malicious intentions who wanted to intercept me and take away my prey. I pretended to be scared, while thinking about how to kill, and finally I realized that all the thinking was useless, and I still hacked to death one by one."

The scroll beside him flashed green in the moonlight.

Yang Xuan put down the bowl and wiped his mouth, "I was very scared when I killed someone for the first time, and I hid in the mountains for a long time. I think about Ye Niang, but I know that if I go back and say that I killed someone, they will definitely beat me up. Then... now that I think about it, then they will see me as a curse, and they will kill me if they can't find a chance."

He looked up at the night sky, above the sky, the stars twinkled.

"I went hunting in the mountains when I was ten years old. At first I was... very sad. It took a lot of time to go into the mountains, and in the evening, I found a place to live. I set up a bonfire, roasted the prey, listened to the sizzling flesh and sniffed. The fragrance of meat... eat and drink, looking up at the stars in the sky, that's the only happy time for me."

"I didn't know why I was alive at that time." Yang Xuan scratched his head, "I just want to live, yes." He said in a positive tone: "I just want to live."

He raised the bowl and took another sip, only to realize that he didn't touch the other bowl, so he touched it and took another sip.

After burping, Yang Xuan leaned against the door and said calmly, "At that time, I felt that the sky was gloomy, and I would never see the light. I don't know why I was rejected by Ye Niang. Brothers, they are so lazy and lazy. They take care of me to support my family, but they have good things but they eat them behind my back, even if I see them, they ignore them."

He suddenly laughed, "I prayed to the sky, and prayed that the gods would help me. Maybe my voice was too low, or I was too far away from the sky, and the gods didn't hear me, so my life is still the same."

"Afterwards, I longed for the village to be fair for me, but every time he met me, he would not turn his eyes away. I expected the occasional clerk to be fair for me, but they didn't even lift their eyelids. ."

Yang Xuan picked up the bowl and said, "I've known since then that you have to speak for yourself, and you have to love those who speak for you."

He raised the bowl towards the sky and said, "Yan Gong, I respect you with this bowl."

He lowered his head and solemnly poured the water from the bowl in front of him.

The green light on the scroll beside him was always on, but there was no prompt unexpectedly.
