Chapter 315 Meet the Cloud City Again
Three days! Since Zhou Xinran came back, looking for poisonous people, explaining to Mu Feng, Xueer and others, and then asking Mrs. Heyu for help, this alone took a whole day. Do you still have to calculate the time to go back? It seems that there is only one chance tonight to steal medicine.
However, no matter what kind of soul-gathering elixir Manxiu has never seen what it looks like, even in the palace, Manxiu is unfamiliar. Except for the last time he was brought into the palace by the Empress Defei and once walked around the palace, he didn't even know which side the palace door was facing. How to steal medicine in such a situation?
Map of the palace! If you want to go, you have to get a map of the palace first. But this is the only day. Go to ask Mrs. Heyu? She is obviously biased towards the royal family. As soon as she told her to ask for an antidote, she went to ask for a map of the palace. A fool would guess his purpose and would not be given it. Yunxuan and Cher? Yunxuan has always been steady and smart. She will not help him do such a rebellious thing, so Xue'er is the only one.
However, even he knows that this move should not be taken. Once you leave, it's really equivalent to stepping into hell with one foot. He either spent the rest of his days in fear or accepted the punishment of the law early. In terms of everything, it not only lives up to the expectations of parents, but also lives up to the feelings of their loved ones and friends. What's more, as Mrs. Yu said, in case something happens, he will really be doomed. How can such a situation involve Cher again?
This doesn't work, and that doesn't work either. What should we do?
Man Xiu was upset and came out of Du's house and did not go back to Lin's house directly. Man Xiu felt that he was angry. Xue Er was forced to stay in Du's house with Mrs. Yu, but now there is no one to talk to. I drank a lot of wine alone in the restaurant and wandered on the road for a long time. Finally, I unconsciously walked to the flat land where my parents were buried.
To his surprise, a man knelt in front of his parents' grave. The extremely thin back even made Man Xiu not remember who it was for a moment.
" Shen Yuncheng?" After walking to the tomb and carefully identifying the person in front of him, Man Xiu said this sentence uncertainly.
"Are you here?"
It's really him! This is the first time that Man Xiu has seen Shen Han since he was seriously injured Shen Yuncheng and Qi Tianqing that day. Although he also heard the news that Shen Yuncheng survived with the help of Meng Xing and Feng Ximeng, he didn't expect that he seemed to be a different person now. It used to be a handsome and angular face, but now it has become skinny, its eyes are deeply collapsed, its cheekbones are towering, and the tip of its chin is protruding. The thin body under the huge coat seems to be broken by the wind, which makes people feel very distressed.
"How do you..."
"I've changed a lot, haven't I?"
"I didn't expect Shen Han to be so vicious!"
"Casation, this is also what I deserve."
What karma? How did you know they were such cruel people? Speaking of which, you are also a victim.
"It's my father. If he hadn't been timid and cowardly at the beginning and acquiesced to Qin Xingying's murder and the enemy, there would have been nothing behind."
"Don't say that, he is a very brave man and kind. I am very grateful to him."
Hearing this, Shen Yuncheng smiled and said, "You don't have to comfort me. Although I'm not as good as before, I'm in good spirits. My heart is like a mirror, and I know everything. However, I am very happy to have suffered for him. At least, he doesn't have to bear it anymore." With that, Shen Yuncheng picked up the wine he brought and sprinkled it at the grave.
General Qin, Mrs. Meng. I, Liu Xiao, came to plead guilty to both of them on behalf of my father Liu Wang. Don't ask for forgiveness, just don't be angry with my father. I will bear everything by myself.
At this time, Man Xiu also knelt down. Looking at Shen Yuncheng next to him, looking at the grave of his adoptive parents, he kowtowed respectfully. After that, he said slowly to Shen Yuncheng, "How do you plan to bear it?"
"Oh?" Shen Yuncheng was stunned by Man Xiu's question.
"What's surprising? Didn't you say that you will bear all the retribution alone? I ask you, how do you plan to bear it?
"That's naturally..."
"I advise you to stop talking about heavenly retribution, evil and evil. Does anyone believe it? What's more, people as kind as my parents, you know that they won't take revenge on you or something.
"What do you mean, the assumption I just said is false?"
"To tell the truth, you have to come up with some convincing evidence."
Shen Yuncheng was very uncomfortable. Although he also knew that he should bear the consequences for his father's mistakes, this feeling was really bad when he said it from Qin Manxiu's mouth.
"It's up to you."
"Oh? I have the final say?"
"Ye, you. You are the only son of General Qin and Mrs. Meng. Whether you are biological or not, you are the only son. Only you have this qualification. Since my father owes General Qin, it is natural for me to pay you back.
Man Xiu smiled in his heart, but on the surface, he became more serious. OK, since you said it, I won't be polite. It's just that you listen to everything I said?"
"A gentleman is quick to say a word. Even if I am asked to assassinate Zhou Ke immediately, I will never blink. However, I can't guarantee whether it will succeed or not. Shen Yuncheng's vision gradually faded. Since he was seriously injured by Shen Han, his physical condition has been very poor. He also knew that there was no hope of recovery, so he simply left quietly and no longer accepted the treatment of Meng Xing and Feng Ximeng. However, there is no source of life, and the inner self-reproach is like day by day. From then on, the body is getting worse and worse, so that now, even I dare not look at myself.
"Okay, that's what you said. However, the task I gave you is not as simple as assassinating Zhou Ke. Can you do it?"
Shen Yuncheng looked at Manxiu in surprise. Is it more difficult than assassinating Zhou Ke?
"Do you regret it?"
"You said, as long as it doesn't go against my conscience, I will do everything."
Manxiu smiled secretly again. This Shen Yuncheng was really interesting. He said that he was smart. He was convinced by the natural words of father and son. He said he was stupid. At this time, he still adhered to his principles so much. Before doing anything, a condition of "not going against your conscience" has been added.
"Do you know the accounts?"
"What?"
"Account, do you understand?"
"This..."
"Are you familiar with the housekeeper of the Zhou family and Mr. Account Manager?"
"I don't know him well, but I know him."
"Before Zhou Ke raised his army, the housekeeper and Mr. Account had been arranged to leave Zhou's house. However, as far as I know, they are under investigation by Kaifeng Prefecture because Zhou Ke is also involved, and they are not allowed to leave Tokyo City. Look for them when you have time."
"Oh, inquire about Zhou Ke's weakness? Yes, now, what else can I do besides this? Shen Yuncheng said sourly.
"By the way, please learn from them how to manage the accounts!"
"What?"
"If you understand, why do you have to ask again? Did my bad habits really infect you?
Shen Yuncheng remembered that Zhou Xinran said Qin Manxiu before, and she must say the same words several times, and he couldn't help smiling astringently. But, what? Learning to manage the accounts? Is it possible that Qin Manxiu is afraid that the housekeeper and Mr. Account will bully him and fool him? Yes, if you don't understand these at all, how can you really get the truth?
"Okay, I know."
"Oh, and..."
"What else?"
"Why, I just made a request, and you are impatient?"
"What else?"
"Also, what you do is about Zhou Ke's secret, which is very important. And I need to find you at any time, so for the time being, you can live in Linfu first.
Man Xiu said this request plainly, but Shen Yuncheng was moved. It's really hard for Qin Manxiu to go around such a big circle to find a good reason for him to stop wandering and be well taken care of.
In Zhoufu, the word "friend" that Man Xiu once said to himself came to Shen Yuncheng's mind again. He saw himself as a friend. So what you can do, should you also match the identity of the last friend?
Immediately, Shen Yuncheng smiled and said, "That's good."
I returned to Linfu with Shen Yuncheng and met Lin Yi and his wife. The two couple are also righteous people, even if they happily promised to keep Shen Yuncheng to live in the Lin family.
After settling down Shen Yuncheng, Man Xiu went to look at Uncle Yuan again. Compared with Shen Yuncheng, Uncle Yuan looked much better. Although there is no internal strength, the whole person looks very energetic, seems to be a little fatter than before, and his face is much more rosy.
For Uncle Yuan, Man Xiu always apologizes. He was not born with a piece of material for practicing martial arts, but he has occupied Uncle Yuan's internal strength for decades. Uncle Yuan relies on this martial arts to walk around the world, but now, because he has become an ordinary person.
"I heard about Mu Lanzhi."
"Uncle Yuan, I'm sorry, I..."
"The internal force is not digested in the body, right?"
"It's much better than before."
"You have to try to accept it. No one is born to do anything. You reject it psychologically. Naturally, it will also reject you.
"I know, Uncle Yuan, I will try my best."
"What are you going to do about Mu Lanzhi?"
"To be honest, I haven't thought of it yet."
"I have also heard about the recent occurrence of horse thieves in the suburbs of the capital."
"Oh. Unfortunately, I don't know who they are. How can I find them?
"I don't know if you can ask me!" While Man Xiu and Yuan Fei were talking, Feng Ximeng and Meng Xing came in.
"Uncle Meng, Aunt Feng."
"Ye�. Yesterday, I heard Xue'er say that some horse thief couldn't rob and poisoned Zhou Xinran's mother Hu.
"Aunt Feng found out where these people are?"
"Of course, what does the Dragon Palace do? Although I am no longer the Dragon King, the people of the Dragon Palace can still do this little thing for me. I have heard that those horse thieves are led by blue and white snakes, and their ordinary behavior is extremely vicious. There is a principle that others can't get what they can't get. Another disadvantage is that she is too good for women. This robbery of Zhou Xinran and her mother is probably the reason. However, he didn't expect that the robber was strongly counterattacked by the other party and suffered heavy losses. For a moment, he was so angry that he used the poison arrows he carried with him. I heard that at that time, two arrows were shot one after the other, pointing to Zhou Xinran, but Hu's one hit the shoulder. I also wonder how, with the blue and white snake's style of doing things, he should shoot directly into the heart, how can he shoot each other's shoulder so kindly? It seems that if you are too confident in your poison, or if you were too nervous about the war at that time, you would have no right leader.
Although Feng Ximeng said so, Man Xiu thought of Zhou Xinran's special ability to control the direction of weapons. It seems that the situation was really very tense at that time. First, she staggered the weapon shot at her, but she didn't think that the other party would shoot the second arrow immediately, and she went to her mother. It was too late to intercept, so I had to do my best to let the arrow move away. However, in the end, it still failed. After all, it hit the shoulder. However, Zhou Xinran did not expect that the arrow shot by a small thief would be poisonous or rare.
