That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 719 Father, Son, Brother, and Woman

The word "woman" was not loud, but it rang in Zhang San's ears like thunder. He immediately glared at Zhang Xu and said, "For a woman!?"

Li Si murmured: "She promised me that as long as I kill an enemy for her, she will live a good life with me, and then we will go far away together, leave these disputes, find a place outside the world, and spend this life."

Zhang San laughed back angrily, "The enemy of that woman happens to be the old governor? Are you a pig-headed man? Taking a step back, even if the old governor really has any grudges with that woman, how can it be your turn to be an unfaithful and unfilial thing? To point fingers?"

Xu Beiyou said with emotion: "The color makes you dizzy, the upper and lower ends, one end is hot, and the other end will inevitably be cold."

Zhang San suddenly asked: "Where is that woman now?"

"Her?" Li Si raised his head and laughed, almost crying, "She is dead, she died a long time ago, she stood in front of me 50 years ago, drank the bottle of intestinal poison, and then She fell into my arms, and I watched her die little by little. At first, her face turned white, and then she began to vomit blood. The blood was all vomited on my chest. It was black and black. Waking up in the middle of the night..."

"Enough!" Zhang San angrily interrupted Li Si's words. Originally, after Li Si admitted the matter, he was going to kill this sleazy person immediately, but considering that the person behind the matter must be investigated, so He deliberately spared his life to let him speak clearly, but he never thought that this person still misses the woman who indirectly killed the old governor. The old brother who lived and died with him in memory will no longer exist. Died, died in the dust many years ago, never to return.

So he didn't hold back this time, and stepped on Li Si's chest fiercely, almost killing him.

With calm eyes, Xu Beiyou asked, "Who ordered that woman?"

Li Si who was lying on the ground shook his head with difficulty, unable to speak.

I don't know if I don't want to say it, or I don't know.

Xu Beiyou asked again: "According to what I know, descending to the mortal world only temporarily deprives the Earth Immortal cultivator of vitality, and does not kill anyone. Then who killed the old governor?"

Li Siqiang took his last breath and said intermittently: "It's a... a Taoist."

"Taoist?" Xu Beiyou frowned slightly, "What kind of Taoist?"

Li Si shook his head again, but he didn't speak any more after all, his heavy and hoarse breathing was heard in the whole hall, just like the old bellows being pulled in a blacksmith's shop.

After about a stick of incense, he swallowed his last breath.

After getting used to seeing life and death, Xu Beiyou shouldn't have had too many emotions, but this time, for some reason, he felt a little emotional, and couldn't help but sigh softly, and he didn't know whether he was sighing for Yang Bofu's unjust death, or for Li Si's confusion.

Li Si died without resting his eyes, but he was left with a whole body after all. Xu Beiyou glanced at the corpse, got up and said, "Master Zhang, I will trouble you to clean up the mess."

Zhang San hummed heavily.

Xu Beiyou left the sword box here, and walked away alone.

After leaving the hall here, Xu Beiyou walked through a long corridor and came to another inconspicuous small courtyard.

Here, Shangguan Qiushui, the charming daughter of the Shangguan family who has just been imprisoned, is imprisoned. Now Xu Beiyou has injected eight sword qi into her body. Although she can move without hindrance, she is powerless to escape.

When Xu Beiyou stepped over the threshold, Shangguan Qiushui was sitting on a stone bench in the yard with a frosty face. When she saw Xu Beiyou come in, she not only sat still, but also lowered her eyes in anger. To see him.

This made Xu Beiyou feel a little strange. Calculated according to his real age, although Shangguan Qiushui is of the same generation as him, he is only about ten years younger than his master and his mother. Now he is also an old man with a youthful appearance, but for some reason, in her There is still a young woman's delicate and naive air in her body, unlike the teacher's wife and the others who have been tempered by the years to produce a twilight air.

She knew that the reason why Xu Beiyou didn't kill her must be a conspiracy, or he wanted to know something from her mouth, or he wanted to exchange her for something, or even simply humiliate her, but from the current point of view, The young master of the Sword Sect should not have done so, that is the difference between the first two.

Xu Beiyou spoke first, "Shangguan...Miss, Xu has something to ask."

Shangguan Qiushui pretended to be deaf and dumb, and kept silent.

Xu Beiyou continued: "You know my reason for not killing you, if you don't give me this reason, then you are forcing me to do it."

Shangguan Qiushui, who had lowered his eyes, changed his face slightly. The meaning of Xu Beiyou's words was very clear. I didn't kill you because you are still useful. If you make me feel useless, then don't blame me for being cruel.In fact, to put it bluntly, it means threatening death. There are not a few people in the world who are not afraid of death, but Shangguan Qiushui is not among them.

Xu Beiyou raised his tone slightly, "Miss Shangguan?"

Shangguan Qiushui raised his head and looked at him, "Don't play those word games where you wouldn't kill me but someone else would kill me. As long as you can save my life, then I can tell you everything I know."

Xu Beiyou nodded after thinking for a while.

Shangguan Qiushui asked, "What do you want to know?"

Xu Beiyou asked directly: "Jiuyuan City, Yangbo Fu."

Shangguan Qiushui suddenly said: "You want to know how Yang Bofu died? Up to now, it's all old things, even if they are found out, it doesn't matter. It's just that Xiao Jin thinks Yang Bofu is an eyesore. There were also disagreements on everything, so Xiao Jin used some tricks to get rid of Yang Bofu."

Xu Beiyou narrowed his eyes, "Using some tricks?"

Shangguan Qiushui was swept away by his gaze, and suddenly felt a chill, and said softly: "I don't know how Xiao Jin killed Yang Bofu, but I know another thing, maybe you will be interested."

Xu Beiyou asked, "What's the matter?"

Shangguan Qiushui hesitated for a moment, then said slowly: "The real Yang Bofu died decades ago."

Xu Beiyou was shocked in his heart, but he didn't show the slightest bit on his face, "Continue talking."

Shangguan Qiushui glanced at him, and then said: "Back then, Yang Bofu was involved in the rebellion case of Prince Dazheng, and was arrested and interrogated by Emperor Shenzong. There are rumors that he actually hid in the imperial capital and escaped from the secret guard mansion. It was not until Xiao Yu entered the Eastern Capital that he showed his identity and took the initiative to defect to his subordinates, but have you ever thought about it, from the prince's rebellion case to Xiao Yu's entry into the Eastern Capital, there was a gap of nearly 20 years. After 20 years, prove that this Yangbo Fu is the same Yangbo Fu?"

Xu Beiyou said softly: "You mean that Yang Bofu has changed in the intervening 20 years."

Shangguan Qiushui hesitated to speak.

Xu Beiyou said, "But it's okay to talk about it."

Shangguan Qiushui said inexplicably: "The depth of our strategies of the five great families of the Wei Kingdom is far beyond your imagination."

Xu Beiyou questioned, "How to say?"

Shangguan Qiushui asked back: "Gongsun Zhongmou and Zhang Xueyao didn't let you know?"

Xu Beiyou frowned slightly, "Master left too hastily, he just explained about Jianzong's affairs, leaving almost no words about the Gongsun family. As for the teacher's wife, she has always kept secrets about the Zhang family all these years. Take the initiative to mention something."

Shangguan Qiushui suddenly understood the mystery, and suddenly realized: "It turns out that the husband and wife have repented."
