Zhen Guojiang

The lord of the Qingping Palace left one hand free. His movements were not fast, even very slow. Those hands that were supposed to be able to fly leaves and fold flowers took off the mask at this moment. He leaked his face, and Yan Xia saw it first , He had a feeling in his heart that it really was so.

The corner of Zhong Lixu's mouth still had a malicious smile. He pushed the flames and laid out everything under the clear and sunny day. familiar face.

After the lord of Qingping Palace revealed his face, there were surprise voices from below the ring one after another, and the people below were all shocked, how could it be possible, how could it be him who betrayed the righteous way of martial arts.

Even the two heads above the ring were surprised.

The Master of Qingping Palace stood behind Cheng Mu. Even though Cheng Mu couldn't see his whole face, he knew who he was with a slight sideways glance. In fact, he might have known it earlier. He should have known when the disciples started fighting, but he refused to admit it in his heart. Now that there is no barrier from the mask, he can finally see this face, this face he has seen for a long time.

The dagger of the palace lord of the Qingping Palace had been pressed against his neck for a long time, so that Cheng Mu's voice was a little hoarse, "Cheng Ling, it really is you."

The Lord of the Qingping Palace did not show any arrogance of betraying the righteous way of martial arts, nor did he feel ashamed of doing it. His expression at the moment was even serene, as if coming here was just an ordinary trip, and nothing out of the ordinary happened at all.

He said flatly, "It's me, sir."

After Cheng Mu heard this, he should have been angry. How could he not be angry? Cheng Ling was named by him. He didn't have this name originally, but Cheng Mu didn't remember his original name either.

Cheng Ling is the son of his family's servant, and he has been by his side since he was a child. With Cheng Mu's light, he also learned martial arts from elementary school like Cheng Mu. They grew up together and learned martial arts together. He treats him like a younger brother, and takes care of him in everything. Cheng Mu is very magnanimous about eating, drinking, and fun. Ling stays in Cheng's mansion to help Cheng Mu's father take care of the family business, while Cheng Mu meets Kuang He and Zhou Su, and they start to explore the world.

Later, everything happened so quickly, the evil faction invaded massively, Cheng Mu built a great career amidst the chaos, and Cheng Ling managed the business of Cheng's mansion in an orderly manner.

Later when Cheng Mu came back, Cheng Ling heard that he met him again at the gate of Cheng Mansion. In the farewell palace, Zhou Su's disappearance was simply unacceptable to him, so that even the itinerary that was supposed to be a glorious return left him in a state of confusion.

When he came back, it was a cold morning, and the fog had not cleared. Cheng Mu led a horse and returned to the shore of Luoshui. The morning on the shore of Luoshui is lively. In the morning market, people going back and forth will pass through this place.

However, the streets of Chengfu and the morning market are separated by a street. This street is like a straight line, and an invisible barrier has been erected on the line, separating the noise of the morning market.

And when Cheng Mu came back, he avoided the morning market. He was too confused at the moment, and he didn't want to be recognized by the people on the shore of Luoshui. He led the horse and walked to Cheng's mansion. At this moment, the fog was gradually thinning, and he finally came back. At this moment, he hadn't sorted out what to say, how to explain the ups and downs of these years to his father, and how to explain why he didn't return for a long time these years.

While he was still standing, the gate of Cheng Mansion suddenly opened, and a figure appeared in front of Cheng Mu. Cheng Mu's heart skipped a beat. His eyesight was excellent, and he instantly saw who was opposite: Cheng Ling.

They haven't seen each other for a long time. Cheng Mu has been in the martial arts for too long, and time happens to be the most fickle. It can turn the sea into mountains and the mountains into seas. But when Cheng Mu saw Cheng Ling For a moment, he had a feeling that perhaps their age had changed and they had experienced many things, but their friendship had not been fermented, and everything stayed when he left the shore of Luoshui and entered the martial arts world.

Cheng Ling was also surprised, but he was used to introversion and didn't show it on his face, but he could hear the faint excitement in his voice, "You're back, and everyone in the Cheng family is waiting for you to come back."

Cheng Mu's frozen face for a long time finally revealed the first smile since Kuang He left, "Well, I'm back."

After 20 years, he never thought that it was Cheng Ling who held him hostage, Cheng Mu said, "Why?"

What Cheng Mu asked was that Cheng Ling would betray him in 20 years.

Cheng Ling didn't want to answer, he kept his previous expression unchanged.

Cheng Mu asked again. At this time, his voice was obviously much louder, even with anger. He shouldn't be like this. No one could make him ignite such anger more than 20 years ago.

After watching the play for so long, Zhong Lixu finally stopped watching, but said: "Is this so unbelievable? The one who betrayed you was your most trusted subordinate, but you didn't even know it."

Cheng Mu's face was extremely cold, his eyes seemed to be capable of killing people, and he said, "What kind of trick did you use?"

Zhong Lixu shrugged helplessly, he tilted his head slightly, which seemed to be mocking, he only mentioned one name, but it was the source of everything: "Cheng Mingyi."

Cheng Mu's expression changed, and he said, "What do you mean, why did you mention him?"

Zhong Lixu smiled casually, and his voice was still sarcasm, and said: "I've already said it, this is the source of everything, if you don't remember, there is nothing you can do about it."

Cheng Mu scolded: "Cheng Ling, tell me, what happened to Cheng Mingyi's death, you know all about it, right, how could I forget, you were the one who favored Cheng Mingyi the most, I let him go Go to the deep mountains to practice, you must go back and see him, and tell me the truth."

When Cheng Ling heard Cheng Mingyi's name, his face finally became strange. He couldn't tell whether it was sad or angry, but the combination of the two made people feel sad for no reason.

He did not continue to maintain that posture of not answering anything, but finally revealed the secret hidden in his heart. Unfortunately, it seemed that he said it too late, leaving only sadness on his face: "Cheng Mingyi's death, you are the first The second one knows, the first one is me."

Cheng Mu was dumbfounded, as if something was stuck in his throat, making him unable to speak, it was difficult for him to accept the truth, he should know everything from Xi Zhen, how could he know this fact in advance.

But Cheng Ling didn't continue talking. He planted a seed of doubt in Cheng Mu's heart, but moved a rock and pressed it on it. Unfortunately, Cheng Ling didn't destroy the root system of this seed. The seed of doubt is destined to germinate. Climbing out of the gaps in the rocks.

Yan Xia looked at them from here for a long time, this passage seemed to be only a few sentences, but it exploded a lot of information, what exactly was involved in Cheng Mingyi's death, could make Cheng Ling betray his old master for many years.

But he knew that they might not be allowed to continue. He looked down the ring. The people below were shocked when they saw Cheng Ling at first, but the surprise changed later. Most of them probably turned from admiration to Cheng Mu In addition to doubts, why the lord of the Farewell Palace is so similar to Cheng Mingyi, and why the lord of the Qingping Palace is actually Cheng Mu's old servant.

They began to wonder whether Cheng Mu had something to do with all of this. Perhaps Cheng Mu was the origin of all of this, and whether their current confusion came from him.

But Yan Xia knew that perhaps this was Zhong Lixu's real purpose for all this. Chaotianque had countless disciples, and he was afraid that Zhong Lixu had deliberately asked Cheng Ling to do this. Cheng Mu was considered the most admired figure in the martial arts. The direction of the martial arts people, so Zhong Lixu started his calculations from him. If Cheng Mu was suspected by the martial arts people and lost the qualification to lead the martial arts, then no one would be able to easily lead such an intricate martial arts sect in a short time.

Even if there is a mistake in the calculations, such a person is really found to bear the burden of martial arts, but this person is not as familiar with martial arts as Cheng Mu and Zhong Lixu. Things.

No matter how wise the new owner is, this short period of running-in is enough for Zhong Lixu to do other things.

Yan Xia didn't know if he could stop Zhong Lixu this time, he said at this moment: "Master Zhong, it seems that today's matter should have been your family matter, but I didn't expect that the high status of you would become the world's matter." .”

With a sigh on Zhong Lixu's face, he said: "It could have been my family business, but it's a pity."

When Yan Xia heard the regret in these words, Yan Xia's words also carried other meanings, saying: "Your status is extraordinary, even if it is your family matter, what is the difference from the affairs of the world."

Others didn't understand what Yan Xia meant by saying this, but if Yan Xia continued to say this, everyone in the martial arts would have other complaints against him. After all, Cheng Mu and Zhong Lixu had different identities, and they could tolerate them saying a few words on it. Maybe they can hear something, after all, the years of enmity can be heard for them.

And Yan Xia is an ordinary person, and his background is still tainted. Most people don't have that much patience for him, and Yan Xia said so much on it, but no one stopped him, precisely because of Yan Xia's astonishing just now This move, if Yan Xia continues to talk like this, others will not forget Yan Xia's shallow qualifications and tainted background, and will definitely attract other remarks for Yan Xia.

Yan Xia naturally understands what other people think of him, and he needs a quick decision at this moment. He looked at Zhong Lixu's expression, and he continued: "Young master is a member of the Tian family, how can your son's affairs be just your own family affairs, right? Come on, Your Highness Zhong Lixu."

Yan Xia's words sounded like a thunderbolt on the ground, with thunderstorms and clouds of smoke billowing, everyone present was shocked, even more shocking than the fact that the steward of Cheng Mu's family was under the mask just now, how could it be possible to stand beside them? The person in front of him should be someone who is closely related to martial arts, how could he be related to the Tian family.

Most of the people present felt that their minds were knotted, and they couldn't understand the twists and turns. They were waiting for Yan Xia's next words. When Yan Xia said these words, the meaning of everything seemed to change. A change.

If Zhong Lixu is really a member of the Tian family, then they are not attacking the evil faction, but the court. They ponder whether what Yan Xia said is true. After all, there are indeed many doubts in these things, and they need Yan Xia to say more More, let them judge more.

At this moment, Yan Xia uttered the secret that had been hidden for several years, the truth that the powerful person was holding his hands on and refused to reveal even a trace.

Yan Xia said it so easily, everyone in the martial arts conference knew that the surname of the Tian family was Zhongli.

In addition, there are some servants who were rewarded by the ancestors, who were given surnames and got this surname. Because of this reason, Zhong Lixu deceived Xi Zhen at that time.

It's a pity that Xi Zhen doesn't understand the imperial court. It's really understandable. He was originally a martial artist. Most people in the martial arts can clearly explain the great achievements of everyone in the martial arts, but they may not be able to explain how many princes and princesses there are in the imperial court. , What's his name, Xizhen is a martial arts man through and through, all his impressions of the court are the great achievements of his ancestors, or the result of his father's advice when he was young.

But there will always be a few outliers in the martial arts world. They may not be good at martial arts, but they can be better at other things, such as casting swords, guns, swords and halberds, and inquiring about world news.

These worldly news naturally include the affairs of the court.

When Yan Xia said this, someone under the ring thought for a while and retorted: "There are three princes above the court. These three princes have names and surnames. How could there be one more person? This person has no name and no surname. There is no record of him, Mr. Yan Xia, even though you are extremely strong in martial arts, rumors about the Tian family cannot be spread nonsense."

Yan Xia remembered that Shen Yu had just told him that the old emperor had other blood rumors, so his words were burning, "It seems that you only know one, but not the other. Zhong Lixu is not the son of the present emperor, but the orphan of the old emperor."

Yan Xia's words once again caused shock. The old emperor only had one child known to the world today. They did not expect Yan Xia to say something beyond their knowledge today. The person who spoke before this moment was also a little confused, but his thoughts flashed However, he had indeed heard this rumor, but it started too fast and disappeared too fast, so that he completely forgot about it.

He opened his mouth wide with disbelief on his face. He didn't expect that the person standing in front of him might really be the former prince who existed in rumors. He could only say in a daze: "I've heard about it, but it's not a rumor. what?"

When this person said this, other people had already begun to believe it. After all, sometimes people may not take it seriously when they say a thousand words, but this casual mention of other people's personal morality is not good, and other people's specious responses And that's pretty much the hard truth.

Even though these people are from the Wulin, most of them are ordinary people. This "truth" will not change because they are from the Wulin, on the contrary, it will only make them believe in it.

Zhong Lixu is the son of the old emperor, and the blood of the Tian family flows through his body.
