Chapter 708 Brothers

The sky is as dark as ink, and it is the darkest hour before dawn.

The Che Mansion is brightly lit.

Originally, at this time, even the madman who sang and sang every night should take a rest. But who told someone in the inspection department to say, "Don't break up the party" before departure?

Although it was just his personal opinion, Master Che didn't know the details, so he naturally didn't dare not follow the instructions. He couldn't just ask everyone to go home.

In order to keep guests, he brought out all the good wine stored in his home cellar and asked everyone to drink it. He personally held the cup and kept urging people to drink. He also asked his family to go to the restaurant to buy wine to drink.

He was so generous, and everyone knew they couldn't get out, so they decided to have a drink. However, he drank one in the middle of the night, and there was no room for so many people to stay in the guest room, so most of them were carried and laid down in the hall. For a moment, the hall was filled with grunts, burps, and drunken chatter. The smells of wine, vegetables, and vomit were mixed together. It was not a place for sober people.

Mr. Che also couldn't bear it. He saw that some people were still awake in the hall, especially a few distinguished guests - those from the Sui family class. Except for old man Sui, who had already passed out from drinking, the other few were still awake. Then he smiled and said: "I'm bored in the hall, let's go to the backyard to enjoy the moon?"

In fact, there was no moon tonight, but everyone couldn't stand still, so they all cheered and followed him to the backyard. The rest of the drunkards asked their servants to watch. In order to take care of old man Sui, Mr. Che specially asked him to rest in the precious guest room.

As soon as we entered the backyard, we saw a big, dark moon hanging in the sky. There is no silver frost on the ground on a moonlit night, but it feels a bit more eerie than other moonlit, dark and windy nights.

"Oh my god! Woe Yue!"

Someone screamed strangely, and everyone reacted and ran back.

There is suddenly a moon on a moonless night, and a full moon suddenly appears on a day that is not a full moon. What is it but a misfortune moon?

The misfortune moon is a hundred times scarier than a hall that smells of wine. Although it is harmless for the time being, who knows what monster will come out of the shadows at the next moment? Some people already felt as if they were being stabbed all over. Some people ran back to the hall, while others didn't want to stay anywhere. Taking advantage of the chaos, they rushed directly to the door.

Mr. Che hurriedly shouted: "Don't go, don't go, we can't go now!"

It was a good thing he didn't scream, but everyone ran faster when he did. These people who dared to leave were all casual people who came to have a meal by chance. In fact, they had nothing to do with Mr. Che. They thought that they would run out of the gate and leave the city tomorrow. Even if they were the governor of Che Lin, could they still want them? As long as you leave this door, you will be safe.

At this time, a figure flashed, stopped in front of everyone, and shouted: "Don't go out! My brother's order is that no one is allowed to go out before he comes back. You all go back!"

When everyone took a look, it turned out to be the second young master of the Che family, Che Yu, who was originally going to be a swordsman but was disrupted.

Although he was a little afraid of Che Lin, Che Yu had no deterrent effect. Not only was he not a swordsman, it seemed that he would not be a swordsman for a while. Just like the roar of a tiger, it could not deter all beasts. Someone shouted: "Your brother Is what he said an imperial edict? We are not under his control. If your brother doesn’t come back for a year, do we have to wait for a year? "

Che Yu said sternly: "I won't wait for a year, but it's not now either. The District Inspection Department is here for your own good! In short, if you want to get out, step over me!"

Everyone looked at each other, and then someone said: "Why are you afraid of him? Come together!"

At this time, several young people walked out from the side. They were all young disciples of the Yanyun Sword Sect. Including Yue Lai, they all stood in a row beside Che Yu, held down their swords, and shouted: "What's wrong? Want to Do you want to force your way in? Then try it and step over us together!"

The Yanyun Sword Sect has a great reputation in Youzhou, and is even better than the District Inspector in the arena. Everyone was immediately frightened. Some people said angrily: "You... these big sects will gang up and bully others."

In fact, Che Yu may not have such great appeal in the sword sect, but just now Yue Lai suggested that he come to help. The disciples are still young people, they pay attention to loyalty, and their sect has a strong sense of honor. Naturally, they are not opposed to helping their fellow disciples, and everyone cheered. Come up.

During the confrontation between the two sides, someone outside the door sighed: "Ayu, you are doing well."

As soon as the door opened, a stern-looking military attache walked in.

Che Lin, the envoy of the Prosecution Department, returned.

Everyone was surprised and happy. Those who wanted to run were shocked. The Che family and his son were naturally happy.

However, when Mr. Che took a closer look, he found that Che Lin's face was pale and he looked haggard after not seeing him for a long time. Although the clothes on his body were black, they were still faintly stained with blood. He couldn't help but feel worried and said: "Da Lin, you..."

Che Lin waved his hands and said: "Everyone, you are giving me face by coming to the Che family for the banquet. Everyone in the Che family is grateful. But we are already here. After traveling a hundred miles and half a mile, how can we miss the last bit? Time? I wonder if I can keep you for a few more hours based on my face?"

What else can anyone say? Naturally nodded and smiled: "Of course, of course, who said we are leaving? We were just thinking of staying."

Che Lin nodded, took a step forward, and seemed to stumble. Che Yu, who was beside him, quickly supported him and held his body firmly to prevent outsiders from seeing. Mr. Che hurriedly said: "Xiao Yu, go back with your brother to have a rest. Let's go back and have a drink."

Seeing everyone returning to the house, Mr. Che saw someone standing outside the door. It was Tang Zhao, who had never forgotten his memory. He hurriedly stepped forward and said happily: "Mr. Tang, you are back. Mr. Sui and the others are taking a nap next to the house. You can come and eat too." a glass of wine?"

Tang Zhao smiled and said: "Thank you, Mr. Che. But please wait a moment. I will go over to discuss something with Chief Che and see them again later."

After that, he followed Che Lin's footsteps and left.

Seeing this, Master Che felt a little worried: Why isn't this matter over yet?

Of course, when Che Yu sent Che Lin to rest, he didn't go to the guest room, but back to his own house. Che Lin has his own small courtyard. Since he has no family and no concubine, it is very deserted and only served by two servants. Today we need to employ people outside, so we also send out servants. At this time, there were only two Che brothers left in the house.

Putting Che Lin on the chair, Che Yufang asked: "Brother, are you injured?"

Che Lin shook his head and said, "Thanks to that adult, I was not injured."

Che Yu asked curiously: "Sir?"

Che Lin hummed and said, "You are so smart, you should know who I am talking about."

Che Yu snorted and said, "It turns out it was him, that handsome young man. Thanks to him... Did your trip to the Demon Cave go well? Anyway, it's okay." After that, he handed Che Lin a glass of water.

Che Lin ended up not taking a sip, and put it aside, looking directly at him and said: "The suppression of the Demon Cave went smoothly, which is good for us, but what good is it for your Demon Cult?"

As soon as he said this, the flame on the lamp trembled. The surrounding light dimmed, as if being invaded by the thick night outside the window.

Che Yu took a few steps back as if he was electrocuted, stretched his hands behind his back, and said with a dry smile: "Brother, what are you talking about? You... are you kidding me?"

Che Lin stood up slowly and said, "Don't hide behind. Come closer and let me take a good look at you. I haven't looked at you carefully for a long time, so I even misjudged my brother."

Che Yu's eyes flashed and he saw a figure standing at the door, it was Tang Zhao.

He swallowed, turned around and said with a smile: "Brother, your words are too confusing. Are you saying that I am a demon sect? As the prosecutor, you cannot make things up out of thin air. You have to provide evidence."

Che Lin said: "Yes, I didn't want to wrongly accuse you, so I came back to see you with my own eyes. Now that Wind Catching Sword is dead, I will know the answer when I see you."

He shook his head and said: "It's really amazing. You joined the Demon Cult quietly and you are already a senior swordsman. You actually became a swordsman at the same time as me, maybe earlier than me. As early as when I first became a swordsman and you During the battle, it was recorded on the Chinese watch that I defeated you, a swordsman. But I didn't look at what happened back then, so I didn't realize early that my brother's qualifications were higher than mine."

Che Yu opened his mouth, as if he wanted to continue arguing, but in the end he just sneered and said, "Why have you ever noticed me?"

This was tantamount to admitting. Che Lin had known this for a long time, but his heart still sank and he felt very uncomfortable for a moment.

At this moment, he was very vulnerable and could easily be attacked by surprise, but Che Yu did not move. It might be because of Tang Zhao outside the door, but of course it might also be because of Che Lin himself.

After a while, Che Lin raised his eyes to look at Che Yu and said: "I should still thank you. After all, you still missed me a little and didn't let anyone kill me directly. Otherwise, in order to ask me to keep the secret, the best way is not Are you going to avoid future troubles forever? For the sake of your compatriots, you spared me my life, only to 'kill my heart' and destroy the foundation of my Sword Elephant, which is the most merciful thing."

Che Yu gave a short laugh and said: "Then you should thank yourself. You have been in the District Procurement Department for many years, and the things you have done are enough to hurt your heart. Otherwise, I would be too clever to make a fool of myself."

Che Lin said calmly: "That's right. I should accept the retribution for the wrong things I have done today. But if it is not to conceal your existence, there is no need for the devil to deliberately punish you. Furthermore, you are punishing your heart. The most important thing is to destroy the sword given to you at home. Because you are already a swordsman, if you hold the sword in public, there will be no reaction, but it will be exposed. No wonder the demon sect got the sword They demolish it without hesitation, and it can never be restored, and they can hide people in the holes that have been dug long ago. With you at home, digging holes is nothing. Even if the house collapses, it will be easy. The reason why we still need to Asking outsiders to put on a show is just to make people think that stealing the sword and destroying it is just to save my face, and it will not pay the slightest attention to you, the person who seems to have suffered the greatest loss."

He sighed: "Is this the plan of the Wind Catching Sword, or is it planned by you? Seeing that the right time and place are all right, and you have an accurate grasp of my character, it seems like you planned it. It seems that my brother Not only is my strength hidden, but I also have all kinds of clever tricks, and my status is not low. You knew my sword elephant, but you never made a move to destroy me. You must have been dormant, and there was no need to alert the snake, right? Why did you show off your skills again today? ? Could it be that he finally emerged from the soil and became a seven-day cicada and became a sensation?"

Che Lin stared at the face that was about 60 or 70% similar to his own, but younger, and said, "Can you tell me where you want to go to show off your talents?"
