Zi Che is not an impatient person, but the people and things related to Anfeng Tower are difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, so Zi Che has to be cautious.
That night, regardless of the fact that his injuries were not yet healed, Zi Che took people to the inn in person. Outsiders didn't know, but Zi Che knew very well that all the inns in the capital had copper pipes installed in the rooms. Which room did he want to hear about?
For people to talk, you only need to open the copper pipe.
Zi Che found the inn and ordered someone to open the copper pipe in the three-person room. There was no sound at first, but after about a quarter of an hour, the sound of conversation came from one of the rooms.
"Are you sure that the Emperor of Qin used the Dark Wind Sword?" The speaker should be about forty years old. His voice was cold and there was not much emotion. It only changed when he mentioned the three words "Dark Wind Sword".
.
"Your Majesty, I'm sure that's the Dark Wind Sword. All our people died under that sword. This is a sword wound. I've asked someone to draw it. Please check it, Your Majesty." The voice was careful and prudent. Listen to it.
He doesn't look older, but he's definitely not too old.
"Sure enough, it is the Dark Wind Sword, and it is actually in the hands of the Emperor of Qin?" The person who spoke was still a man who was revered as an emperor.
"Could it be that the young lady is not hiding in the world, but is in distress?" This was another person's voice.
"There has been no news for more than twenty years. If the young lady is still alive, maybe the Dark Wind Sword can lure her out." This was another voice.
…
Hearing this, Zi Che knew who the people were without looking at them.
"You appear at this time, are you enemies or friends?" Although they are acquaintances, Zi Che is still not sure why these people are here.
They... haven't seen each other for nearly thirty years. He has changed, but what about them?
It must have changed too.
Zi Che closed his eyes with a melancholy look on his face, and there was no sound for a long time...
The secret guard following him did not dare to say a word and stood behind him like an invisible man. It was not until the conversation in the room ended and someone seemed to be leaving that the secret guard had to remind him: "Sir?"
Zi Che was startled, then came to his senses and coldly ordered: "You guys wait for me here!"
After saying that, he blocked the copper pipe, turned around and walked out.
The secret guard glanced at the copper pipe, then looked at his companion, and nodded silently.
Everyone has secrets, and they would never dare to listen to Mr. Ziche's secrets.
Although Zi Che was injured, it was not obvious at all. When he appeared in the room, the four people in the room were stunned. They did not expect that someone could appear quietly under their noses. Wait.
When they saw Zi Che's face, the three people in the room were shocked and turned into excitement. They stood up with a "swish", and the man who was called Your Majesty even lost control and said: "Zi Che! Yes, it's you.
?”
"Brother, it's me." Zi Che looked at the man's face as if it had been cut with a knife, and there was a layer of tears in his eyes.
After more than thirty years, we finally meet again.
"I knew you were okay, I knew you were okay." The man was very happy to see Zi Che. He stepped forward and hugged Zi Che, patting him hard on the back several times.
There were injuries on Zi Che's body, and this shot made the injuries worse. However, Zi Che stood there as if nothing was wrong, as if the man who was almost vomiting blood after being photographed was not him.
The other two people also came forward and gathered around Zi Che for a while to chat, "Young boy, Che has grown up so much that I almost don't recognize you anymore."
"Second brother, third brother..." Zi Che turned to look at the two of them, the smile on his face widening uncontrollably.
Although he didn't know whether the visitor was an enemy or a friend, meeting an old friend in a foreign country was one of the four great joyous events in life, so how could he not be happy.
"Okay, okay, okay, we four brothers are finally together again." The eldest brother among the four, also known as the man called Your Majesty, showed a rare smile and pointed to another slightly flattering man in the room and said:
"Go and ask the inn to bring you a table of good wine and food."
Zi Che did not refuse, nor did he say to change places, but just calmly ate with the three of them in a room full of copper pipes.
The food and wine were served, and the four of them had a drink and began to talk about their experiences in the past thirty years.
The three of you have been together for a long time. They have been looking for Zi Che and the eldest lady for a few years. After several years of searching, there was still no news and they gave up. Later, the three of them picked up their old business and engaged in the killer business, and they did a little bit for a few years.
After he matured, he began to look for orphans to train killers, and it was not until a few years ago that the Dark Wind Tower was built.
"Anfeng Tower is our home. We are the people of Anfeng Tower when we are born, and we are also the ghosts of Anfeng Tower when we die. We have seen Anfeng Tower from its peak to its decline, and seen our home destroyed. Now we have the ability,
Naturally, we must rebuild the Anfeng Tower and restore the Anfeng Tower to its former glory." After the third brother finished speaking with great pride, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. Zi Che's eyes brightened when he heard this.
But then he became depressed again and took a sip.
This move attracted the attention of the three people. Your Majesty looked at Zi Che sternly and asked: "Zi Che, what have you done in these years? And, where is the eldest lady? I remember that you were always by the eldest lady's side at that time.
Are you okay now, Miss?"
When your Majesty asked this question, there was a hint of uncertainty and anxiety, but Zi Che soon confirmed his guess.
Zi Che closed his eyes and said in a hollow voice: "The eldest lady died sixteen years ago."
Zi Che choked up and continued to drink, one cup after another, "I didn't protect the eldest lady well, I watched the eldest lady die in front of me. The eldest brother, the second brother, the third brother... I am incompetent, it's all me
Incompetent and failed to protect the eldest lady."
By the end of Zi Che's words, his face was full of tears, and he lay on the table sadly and remorseful. The other three people knew very well how Zi Che felt about the eldest lady, and wanted to comfort him, but at the moment they were more concerned about the eldest lady's death.
How could the young lady die? Someone discovered her identity?"
It doesn't make sense. Back then, they arranged for people to pretend to be the eldest lady. Those people had already died for the eldest lady of Anfeng Tower, so it was impossible to find out the eldest lady's identity.
"No, no one has discovered the identity of the eldest lady. The eldest lady... committed suicide." Tears blurred Zi Che's eyes. When he raised his head, he seemed to be able to see the woman bathing in the fire and shouting sadly...
His eldest lady, whom he had protected all his life, died in front of him in the end. And until the eldest lady died, he did not tell her that he... liked her.
It's not a subordinate's love for his master, but a man's love for a woman.
"Miss...she died, right in front of me, in the fire." Zi Che's eyes were wandering, and he looked like he had collapsed, but only he knew how calm and clear he was at this time.
…
Looking at the three familiar and unfamiliar brothers in front of him, and seeing the flash of ecstasy in their eyes when they heard about the death of the eldest lady, Zi Che was really sad.
I can't go back, I can't go back anymore...
