Big dream 18 years

The fire in the stove had been burning for a long time, and was gradually smothered by ashes, Qin Songfeng stood up to stir it up again.

Ji Shuliu had been sitting motionless for a long time, his face was as cold as frost.When Qin Songfeng went to poke the fire, Ji Shuliu suddenly knelt down and kowtowed facing the south, then got up and sat back on the bed, staring at Qin Songfeng.

"I kept this matter a secret for three years." Ji Shuliu's voice trembled as soon as he opened his mouth, "The corpse I collected was not Li Xiao."

Qin Songfeng rushed to Ji Shuliu with one step, and put his hands on Ji Shuliu's shoulders: "Really?"

Ji Shuliu looked up into Qin Songfeng's eyes: "I'm not sure whether Li Xiao is alive or dead, but that corpse is not his own."

"How did you find out?"

"While scrubbing the blood on the corpse."

Qin Songfeng let go of Ji Shuliu, sat next to him, and remained silent for a long time before he said helplessly: "It's really not good to announce this matter, but it will affect morale. I'll just remind Taoist Xuan Chongzi to pay attention in private later. And Senior Brother Qian And Sun Chengxiu, I will also tell."

Ji Shuliu raised the corners of his mouth and showed a sarcastic smile: "In the end, I can't stand the grace of childbearing, the love of nurturing, the loyalty of friends, and justice."

Qin Songfeng frowned, and before he could speak, the door of the room was knocked suddenly, and Qian Rui said from outside the door: "He's awake."

Ji Shuliu suddenly stood up, but immediately shook twice and nearly fell down.Qin Songfeng supported him in time, and he took a few deep breaths on the spot, and slowly walked out of the door with Qin Songfeng's support, and entered Qian Rui's bedroom opposite.

The furnishing of the opposite room is quite different from other rooms in Bixiao Mountain Villa. Except for a bed, a stove and a few small bamboo sticks placed by the window, there are no furniture such as tables and chairs that should have been there. Go up those little cockroaches.In the vacant space, there was a large heavy iron board with several layers of mattresses on top. Qu Ze was lying on the iron board, covered with a thin quilt, only his sunken face with thin cheeks was exposed, and he opened his eyes. Look at the door.

Ji Shuliu staggered towards Qu Ze, sat on the iron board and asked, "Why are you lying here?"

Qu Ze lifted the quilt and pointed to his waist. Only then did Ji Shuliu realize that there was still an iron chain locked around his waist as in a prison cell. The end of the chain was cast into the iron plate, limiting his range of movement to the iron plate. nearby.The iron plate was too big to fit on the bed, so Qu Ze could only lie down like this.

The hand that was holding the quilt was still bruised and swollen by the rope, and trembled slightly, showing no signs of the stability and strength of the famous swordsman.Ji Shuliu grabbed Quze's wrist to feel his pulse, and said in a low voice, "It's dangerous, the pulse is still weak, you must rest more recently."

Qu Ze patted Ji Shuliu's hand: "Old Qian just told me about these days. You have really grown up. You are seriously injured. Why don't you go back and rest for a while?"

Ji Shuliu's expression was serious: "I have something important to discuss with you."

Qu Ze didn't pay attention to his words, turned his eyes to Qin Songfeng, and said with a sneering smile: "Master Qin Second Sect, thank you for lending me a shelter without avoiding suspicion, if someone Qu can survive, This kindness must be repaid."

Although he said words of thanks, his tone was completely wrong and his expression was stiff and indifferent.Ji Shuliu looked back at Qin Songfeng strangely, and was quite surprised. He saw Qin Songfeng standing at the door in a daze, looking a little reserved.After a while, Qin Songfeng whispered: "Brother Qu."

"Second sect master Qin, don't call me a brother like a prisoner."

Qin Songfeng strode over and said calmly: "Brother Qu, you avenged my family feud for me. I can still benefit from the advice you gave me on martial arts when I was a child. I have always regarded you as an elder brother and a good teacher. Why do you bother?" Talk to me like that?"

Under his gaze, Qu Ze's disguise was broken, and he said with a wry smile: "You are still the same as before. But I don't want to be the same, different, so I can pretend that Qu Ze in the past is dead, and the person in front of you who is greedy for life and afraid of death The disciple is another person."

"You are not greedy for life and afraid of death, but you are unwilling." Qin Songfeng insisted, "I am also unwilling. At that time, there are only a few months left before my Yicheng. If it is a few months later, I will definitely help you delay When Senior Brother Qian finds out the truth."

"I've all turned to the underworld, and I've committed all my crimes, so what's the point of talking about it."

Qian Rui shook his head and interrupted them: "Old Qu, don't say a few words, what are you still entangled in those old things now. Songfeng, sit down for a while." He looked at the bed, but Qin Songfeng talked to Ji Shu Liu sat on the iron board together.

"Shu Liu, tell me about your major event first." Qin Songfeng got straight to the point.

Ji Shuliu looked back at Qin Songfeng, took a few deep breaths, turned back to Qu Ze and said, "Fifth Brother Qu, I'm sorry, I was deceived, and I doubted you."

Qu Ze said indifferently: "What's the matter? Let's hear it." Qian Rui's expression became more serious. He was originally sitting on a small twig by the window, but when he heard the words, he moved the twig and sat closer to Ji Shuliu The place.

Ji Shuliu said: "On the fourth day I came to Bixiao Mountain Villa, I accidentally found Wang Guitong mixed in the cook, acting suspiciously. That night I secretly threatened him to leave, but he lost to me and left the next day. "

"The cook you defeated was actually Wang Guitong?" Qu Ze was slightly aroused, "It seems that your martial arts has improved a lot."

"Although martial arts have improved, people are still extremely dull." Ji Shuliu continued, "On the fifth night, after Mr. Zheng was killed, I suddenly heard a strange noise coming from the window..." He told the man who was following the man in white that day He recounted what he saw and heard exactly, and also told his own speculation in detail.Everyone frowned and thought about it, and no one interrupted until he finished speaking.

Qin Songfeng was the first to ask: "What else do you think? Let's talk about it together."

Ji Shuliu said: "I've been thinking about it. There are too many people who want to frame Fifth Brother Qu, and it's hard to investigate thoroughly. Maybe we can first find out who they intended this scene for. This person is not very good at martial arts. , if the martial arts are high enough, they will definitely shout out on the spot, or even shoot them; secondly, if they are not thoughtful, if they are careful, they will not be fooled like this; thirdly, they are impatient and easy to trust; fourthly, they may live near us .I also guess that the two men in white who peeked at the map are not looking for Mr. Zheng, but looking for the residence of the person who was supposed to be deceived."

Qian Rui closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then said firmly: "I think they are the one who lied to you. Apart from you, there is absolutely no one else in Bixiao Villa who will sneak behind them and wait for their trick to finish."

Qu Ze also agreed: "Their trick is whimsical, it is purely a trick to deceive children, no matter how you look at it, it looks like it is specially designed to deceive you. Besides you, all the people here are veterans. If they look directly outside the cell door The tricks they perform may be fooled, but on the road, it is not impossible to see that they are deliberately attracting people to follow."

Ji Shuliu was stunned, and said in horror: "What is the purpose of the scheming person? Why did he first stun the guard at the door of the cell and frame Fifth Brother Qu, and then let me exonerate Fifth Brother Qu? How did he know that I was reluctant to part with Fifth Brother Qu?" , how did you guess that I would come up with such a stupid idea, could it be that Wang Guitong changed his identity and came back to take revenge on me..."

Qian Rui interrupted him: "You're thinking about it. This person doesn't understand you, and his plan has failed. He just wants you to frame Lao Qu."

Qu Ze sneered: "Then borrow a knife to kill me!"

■

To Qu Ze, Ji Shuliu's background was special, and he was old with him.Previously, Wang Hu's suspicion of Qu Ze was too absurd, and not many people sincerely believed in it. The reason why Wang Hu was allowed to hurt others was to vent his hatred for being unfavorable and Zheng Dong's murder, and he didn't really want Qu Ze's life.But what if even Ji Shuliu came forward to confirm that Qu Ze was the murderer?At that time, no matter how flawed this statement is, Qu Ze will definitely be unable to argue with it.Those enemies who are determined to put Qu Ze to death are enough to take this opportunity to incite the anger of half of the people in the Jianghu and completely eliminate Qu Ze. Even if Xuan Chongzi and others are calm and fair, they may not be able to stop the "just" people stab in the back.

However, although this strategy is full of twists and turns and weird tricks, it is far from perfect, and it doesn't take into account whether Ji Shuliu can fall into the trap.Qu Ze sarcastically said: "The remaining people in Drunken Sun Fort are becoming more and more useless. It takes a lot of time and effort to harm people, leaving a lot of loopholes. Probably Wang Guitong sent them a letter before leaving, telling them roughly After passing by, they imagined that as soon as Shu Liu heard the news of Zheng Dong's death, he would come out to kill his relatives righteously. It's funny."

Qin Songfeng asked: "Brother Qu, are you really from Zuishibao? Why did they kill you?"

Qu Ze closed his eyes for a while, opened his eyes and said: "To be honest, before Zuizun Fort was breached, Li Xiao said that I would stay and delay for him for a while, and I will be cleared with him. From then on, I can get out of Zuizun Sunburg, as long as I don't trouble Zuishibao, Zuishibao will treat me as nothing."

Qian Rui was slightly surprised: "Why didn't you say it earlier!"

"Because there are two forces in Zuizun Castle. Although Li Xiao has the final say, Shang Tongtian, the master of Fengtang Hall, also has a lot of his own people. The people on Shang Tongtian's side don't want to let me go."

Drunken Sun Fort was very strict, and Bai Dao's spies didn't penetrate deeply.It was the first time for Qian Rui and Qin Songfeng to hear about the disagreement between Monk Li Xiao and Tongtian, so they paid special attention to it.Qu Ze also explained in detail: "This has to start with the old castle master Han and Chu Xun. The old castle master Han has a good conscience, he is kind to his subordinates, and he is also kind to the enemy. He refuses to do everything and is always complained by his subordinates." The benevolence of a woman. It is a pity that his only apprentice, Chu Xun, has been in the underworld for a long time, but his heart is getting darker and darker. When the old castle master Han found out that something was wrong, he was old and in poor health. Root out. Among Chu Xun’s four apprentices Yan Du, Li Xiao, Shang Tongtian, and Tu Wanwan, Li Xiao’s aptitude and character are the best, and Old Castle Master Han liked him the most. Land cultivation, benevolence and morality, martial arts knowledge, teach what you have."

Ji Shuliu said softly: "His character...is he good?"

"Listen to me." Qu Ze took a sip of the warm water Qin Songfeng handed over, "Chu Xun is a lunatic. After the death of the old castle master Han, Chu Xun let go of his courage to do a big job, and the young people in Zuizunbao found out that they had suffered. In the past, I only knew that I followed Chu Xun to cause trouble everywhere, but I didn’t expect to die faster. Not only did Chu Xun kill his enemies but he didn’t know how to stop, he didn’t care for his own subordinates at all, and he was never lenient when he took people to death. In the end, Chu Xun put black and white together. The two offended cleanly, and were slaughtered together with his big apprentice Yan Du.

"When the limelight passed, Monk Li Xiao Tongtian began to contact the rest of Zuishi Castle. Most people thought of the benefits of Old Castle Master Han and followed Li Xiao. There were also some particularly evil people who followed Shang Tongtian, so Li Xiao was Castle Master, Shang Tongtian is the second Hall Master of Fengtang. Shang Tongtian is a lunatic just like Chu Xun. If Bai Dao bends his knees and refuses to show his ambition by death, he should kill Liwei."

Qian Rui came over and leaned over, "Could it be that Li Xiao really wants to let you go?"

"Yes."

Qian Rui was expressionless: "I don't believe it."

Qu Ze said slowly: "When I was hunted down and almost died, it was Li Xiao who saved me, and he also spent a month persuading me to join the gang. At that time, he promised not to let me have a conflict with Bai Dao , and said that he would let me go when what I did could repay the life-saving grace. He really didn't let me interfere in the conflict with Bai Dao these years, so Shang Tongtian always looked down on me. As for Li Xiao... He smiled miserably, "He is a lunatic among lunatics."

Ji Shuliu gritted his teeth and said, "He is indeed a lunatic. Even now, when I recall his words and deeds, I still can't believe that he would kill innocent people indiscriminately."

Qu Ze looked at Ji Shuliu and shook his head: "He treats everyone he knows around him as kindly as Lord Han, just like he is in front of you. But he doesn't seem to treat other people as human beings at all." Qu Ze wearily Close your eyes, "Sometimes when I saw him in Drunken Sun Castle, I couldn't figure out how such a good person could be a lunatic. But people in the underworld don't think so, they think that a good person should be like Li Xiao, brother He stabs at both ribs and kills others without blinking an eye."

According to Qu Ze's meaning, although he doesn't agree with Li Xiao, he has some brotherhood, and Ji Shuliu has mixed feelings.Qian Rui and Qin Songfeng could only sigh and be speechless. In the end, they said they wanted to discuss something alone, and went outside, leaving Ji Shuliu and Qu Ze in the room.

Ji Shuliu whispered: "My eldest brother is not dead, is he? I told the Second Sect Master Qin about this."

Qu Ze was stunned for a moment, and actually showed a gratified expression: "Did you meet him later? Or did he send you a letter?"

Ji Shuliu shook his head hesitantly: "Neither. When I scrubbed the corpse, I realized that the corpse was not his own."

Qu Ze's complicated eyes wandered on the beams of the house for a long time before he said: "Li Xiao has a substitute, he is his confidant, he looks very similar to him, even I can't tell the difference when he is not moving or talking. But I also I don't know if he will have time to change it in the end, I will only know after you tell me."

Ji Shuliu said awkwardly: "Is he also the one who gathered the remnants of Zuizunbao to take revenge now? The villains from Shang Tongtian's side will not be able to frame you, will they assassinate you like they assassinated Mr. Zheng?"

"Let them go, don't worry. Old Qian is cautious, and the master of the second sect of Qin has high martial arts skills. It is not easy to kill people under their noses. Shang Tongtian's gang of idiots are not up to it. The trick they used to frame me is purely Self-righteous, whimsical, how can such a person achieve anything?"

Ji Shuliu said silently for a moment: "You must take care. I am now a teacher in Chisumen, and I hope that one day you can go there too."

Qu Ze didn't answer, but tiredness appeared on his face.Ji Shuliu said: "You go to bed first." Sitting beside Qu Ze, he calmed down.He himself was very tired, but he was reluctant to leave. Besides Li Xiao, the closest person he had with him when he was a child was Qu Ze, and he had been missing him a lot for the past three years.

Qu Ze quickly fell asleep, Ji Shuliu looked at him intently, and remembered that even if he met Li Xiao again in this life, he would probably be a stranger or even an enemy, so he was lost in thought.When the evening glow reflected the red window paper, Qin Songfeng and Qian Rui came back together, and Ji Shuliu realized that he had no strength to stand up and could only reach out to Qin Songfeng.Qin Songfeng pulled him back to the bedroom.

"You idiot." Qin Songfeng shook his head, "Actually, I have already discussed it with Senior Brother Qian. He tried his best to exonerate Brother Qu. I will not say anything for now. In case he does not have time to find out the real culprit, Brother Qu's health is too weak. If I live, I will let him come forward as a hostage and exchange Big Brother Qu into my hands. People don’t know that I have an affair with Big Brother Qu, so they will definitely not object too much. I will come forward later that day, but I didn’t expect to be You took the lead."

Ji Shuliu found a comfortable position to lie down, and sincerely admitted his mistake: "I'm sorry, I should have told you about Wang Guitong and those men in white earlier. I had a ghost in my heart, so the flaw was so obvious, but I believed it was true For several days, I thought I was covering up for Fifth Brother Qu."

"Just be careful in the future. I'm the same as Senior Brother Qian. I won't harm Big Brother Qu. But this time you're playing the wrong game." Qin Songfeng said while tidying up.

At this moment, Ji Shuliu was seriously injured, and was lying on the outside of the bed for the convenience of getting in and out.After tidying up, Qin Songfeng jumped onto the bed and lay on his side. He was good at lightness, took off his shoes and immediately got up, and landed flat on his own position without even shaking the bed.

Ji Shuliu didn't expect him to be so fast, so he blinked at him: "Wait a minute, I can't walk anymore, can you pour me some water?"

Qin Songfeng turned his head sideways, his gaze rested on Ji Shuliu's face for a moment, he jumped out of bed and poured him a bowl of water.
