Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

Zhou Ping'an spoke in a deep voice, which matched his current tone with a kind of sorrowful lamentation: "After Hui Niang died, the Shaoqing personally sent a sum of money to my family. I was deeply grateful. This world is not a place where ordinary people like us, like ants, can seek justice. I originally wanted to live a good life with my father-in-law. But my father-in-law refused, and I couldn't persuade him. Later, my father-in-law also died, and the Shaoqing sent someone to send me a sum of money, asking me to live a good life..."

At this point, the tears that had been threatening to fall from his eyes finally fell like crystal beads from a broken string. He didn't wipe them away, but simply raised his head and let the tears flow into his hair. His smile gradually faded. "I want to, too. But in my dreams at midnight, Aye and Hui Niang always come looking for me. They ask why I live alone in this world, enjoying the silver they bought with their lives. That silver is hot, Shaoqing, it's really hot. Even if I use it to buy the best wine and meat, it won't be as delicious as the simple meals our family of three enjoyed when Hui Niang was still alive. Shaoqing Cui, I know this and I don't blame you, but now that I know who is behind this, I have to do something. Otherwise, I won't even dare to die..."

Her sister died, and Aye avenged her. Although he didn't take complete revenge, he finally had the face to see his sister. What about him?

He didn't do anything, so how should he face his sister?

To see the sister who follows him around all day, calling him "Brother" sweetly and softly?

On the roof, Jiang Shangxian's face was wet with tears, and even Qi Qige, who was unaware of the whole situation, had red eyes.

Wow, I didn’t expect that this eunuch who speaks so softly is actually so manly!

Cui Bianxu suppressed his emotions and sighed: "Don't go back to Chang'an. I will arrange a place for you to stay. You will hide your identity in the future..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw two streaks of blood seeping out from between Zhou Ping'an's closed lips. He swallowed the rest of his words back into his stomach, frowning once again: "You... why are you doing this?"

Zhou Pingan laughed again, his eyes bloodshot, his face filled with relief and liberation. His milky white teeth were stained with blood, and he staggered to the ground, "I'm afraid... I'm going to let down Young Master's kindness again..."

He was a coward, and he dared not live alone even with money. Even though he entered the palace with a heart full of hatred and got close to the prince, he still did not dare and could not find a chance to attack the prince.

The dispute between the Crown Prince and the King of Wei became increasingly intense. The Crown Prince was extremely cautious in his daily life and would not eat until others had tasted the food.

Taking on this task on his own initiative this time was already his boldest move yet.

He had already seen through the prince's unwillingness and pride. How could such a noble person be the same as ants like them?

Death is the most painful thing for them, but for the prince, the most painful thing is a leg that can never be cured, a brother who is eyeing him covetously, and an uncle who is partial to him and has very strict demands on him.

He had already realized that the prince could not become the emperor with a broken leg.

During his time in the palace, he also understood clearly what would happen to the prince if he could not become emperor.

Many doctors were helpless to treat the prince's legs, but the prince refused to give up.

This time, he would completely put an end to the prince's thoughts.

As for these guards...

They looked down on him for being a eunuch and for his involvement with the prince, so they wanted them to die with him, a eunuch, so they could share his company on the road to the underworld...

Jiang Shangxian was crying and sniffling, and he climbed down from the roof with weak hands and feet, and crawled to Zhou Ping'an.

He was almost dying. His pupils were dilated and he was gushing out mouthfuls of blood mixed with bits of flesh. The blood that he couldn't cough out was stuck in his throat, making a strange gurgling sound.

Zhou Ping'an looked at Jiang Shangxian who was running towards him, and knowing that this was Cui Bianxu's new wife, he wanted to smile at her, but he could only force a smile on his lips.

Cui Shaoqing gave money twice. He is a good man, and the woman he married should also be a good person.

But he might be a little scary now, and I’m afraid he might scare my wife.

Jiang Shangxian was in a panic, his hands shaking. He tried to wipe the blood from his mouth with his sleeves but couldn't wipe it clean. He opened and closed his mouth, and his nose was sore that he had difficulty breathing.

She understood that since even his internal organs had turned into minced meat and he was coughing it out, there was no hope for him.

She wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say.

A good family was broken up, destroyed and gone just like that.

Zhou Ping'an moved his fingers, trying to block her hand, but he had no strength left. He could only use his last bit of strength to keep his eyes on Cui Bianxu's face.

It's too dirty. A good girl shouldn't be contaminated by such dirty things.

There is no need to cry for him. He is just a worthless eunuch. It is not worth it.

If Hui Niang were still alive, she would have been married. Although her husband didn't have to be from a prominent family like Cui Shaoqing, as long as he was a good man...

At the very end, his eyes never closed. They contained regret, relief, and a hint of joy.

He seemed to see Hui Niang, still as sweet and docile as before, and also saw Aye, with his trouser legs rolled up. One taller than the other, holding a stunned fish in his hands and grinning foolishly...

. . . . . .

When Zhao Shan and others came back, they saw that Jiang Shangxian and Cui Bianxu were not resting, but were digging a pit outside. Qi Qige was carving a stone tablet on the side. They were all confused. When they entered the house, they were shocked to see the blood and corpses lying all over the floor. They thought that these people had chased them while they were away.

After listening to Qi Qige's account of what had happened, Zhao Shan recited a sad poem with a rather sentimental tone. Then, he patted Cui Bianxu and Jiang Shangxian on the shoulders with a heavy heart, and joined the team digging the pit without saying a word.

The mountains and rivers of Lingnan are extremely beautiful. Zhou Ping'an's life, whether happy or sad, has all ended. He will be buried here in the future, which should be considered a Feng Shui treasure land.

The guards went out together and hunted a lot of wild animals, but unfortunately everyone was not in a good mood. In addition, there was no seasoning, so everyone had no taste for this long-awaited wild game feast.

After dinner, Cui Bianxu sent everyone out to guard outside and carry out the last project of this time - extracting souls.

Xisi was also driven out. Qiqige was afraid that she would cause trouble, so he asked Yingzi and Zhao Shan to watch her. But this girl was not honest and kept trying to look inside through the broken window, so Yingzi dragged her away.

"Let's start." Cui Bianxu's expression was a little calmer than before.

The dragon Gu was very clever. It knew that no one had the leisure to appreciate its abilities, and it did not prepare any fancy stunts as before. It simply coiled itself around Gao Yu's face, poking its tail nimbly at the top of his head, and closed its eyes.

The room was very quiet. Qi Qi Ge had no way of doing anything with this method. The three of them watched this magical scene nervously.

As the snake's tail pierced his head, Gao Yu, who was lying dead with his eyes tightly closed, suddenly struggled violently, scaring the three of them. Cui Bianxu was about to reach out to press him when he found that he seemed to be shackled by an invisible object. Although he struggled hard, he still couldn't get up or open his eyes.

However, the dragon poison was as solid as a rock and had no effect at all.
