Chapter 919: Thirty Years of Searching for a Swordsman
"Crack!"
The sound of raindrops broke the tranquility in the car. Su Ziji was sitting on the chair, looking a little numb, while the wild Taoist was even more stiff.
Looking around, you can see the drizzle, covering the pavilions and streets far and near. The spring rain is still cold. In ancient times, you would probably die if you were caught in the rain, so there are few people on the streets and it is very quiet.
Seeing Su Ziji looking at the rainy scene, his eyes full of despair, with an expression that seemed both sad and joyful, the wild Taoist and Xie Hongdao did not dare to be alarmed and stood there in silence.
I don't know how long it took before I heard Su Ziji sigh and chant.
In thirty years of searching for the swordsman, the leaves have fallen and the branches have sprouted several times.
Ever since I first saw Peach Blossom, I still have no doubts until now.
Su Ziji chanted very slowly, and every word seemed to be very heavy. Although Xie Hongdao was persecuted, he could not help but pity him. His great-grandson was rich and noble, but he could not have the affection of his father and ancestors. And at last, his parents were still alive.
The wild Taoist people feel like they have been hit hard by a heavy hammer. The master's family background is in such a miserable state!
Thinking of the prince's death and the destruction of his family, there were people who fled with the infant lord in their arms. They traveled thousands of miles and arrived in Linhua County, where they became common people and lived with each other for more than ten years. However, the good times did not last long.
He died again, leaving only the lord alone.
After many struggles, the Lord got the first prize, and by chance, he recognized his ancestor and returned to his clan. He thought he would enjoy family happiness, but not only did he fail, but he fell into the emperor's sinister and inhumane trap.
The great grandson is just a pill for refining medicine.
Thinking of this, the wild Taoist's eyes turned red and he almost shed tears.
"Lord, the matter has come to this, there is nothing more to say, but destiny does not only love one person." The wild Taoist wiped the corners of his eyes, and his voice was cold: "I have studied Taoism, and I know a little bit about it.
, the emperor may have received destiny, but once he rebelled against heaven, the heavenly favor would disappear, and the destiny would change."
"Since my lord has become the grandson of Dazheng, he is the rightful heir to Dazheng. This is the destiny given to you by God. It is said that God cannot take it, but you will be blamed for it. The prince also inherited the destiny back then, but he did not know how to fight for it. You must not leave the prince."
The old road!”
Su Ziji said nothing, only nodded heavily, closed his eyes to calm down, opened his eyes again, looked at Xie Hongdao in front of him, and asked: "Why did you confide this secret to Gu?"
Xie Hongdao knew that this was the key moment. He just listened to the slap and knelt down in the oxcart, kowtowing repeatedly: "Your Highness, Zhennanbo Mansion has declined because of a villain. Now the villain just wants to kill the monster, and then
To revitalize the family, in order to achieve these two goals, the villain will die for it!"
"Is it?"
Su Ziji's eyes were cold and cold, and he stared at it for a moment, and then said coldly: "I can promise you that if you work hard, I will restore your title to you in the future."
Just after saying this, there was a flash of light, which illuminated the inside and outside of the ox cart. Then there was a frightening thunder, which made the ox cart tremble. Fortunately, the cart was stopped, otherwise the cows would run wild.
At the moment when the surrounding area suddenly lit up, Xie Hongdao's eyes inevitably turned to Taisun.
There was an icy coldness on Taisun's face, but Xie Hongdao knew that everything Taisun said was true!
Moreover, at this time, he had no other way to go. Once the emperor knew that he knew this secret, not only would he die, but the whole family of Zhennan Bo would also die.
It seems that there is a choice, but in fact there is no choice at all, so no matter whether what Taisun said is true or not, I can only believe it!
Lightning flashed past, and the light inside the bullock cart dimmed again.
Su Ziji's eyes were cold and he said to Xie Hongdao: "If you retake the exam in the spring, the examiners will be re-selected, but the original thirteen examiners can be fought for."
"You work with monsters, and you are from Zhennan Bo. You are very familiar with every family in the capital, and you know how to contact them safely and secretly."
"Go and test these thirteen people to see their attitude towards Gu."
Su Ziji thought for a while and then said: "If someone is willing to get close to Yu Gu, write down his name and report to Yu Gu. If he doesn't want to get close to him, don't worry. Just write down the same and report back to Yu Gu when the time comes.
"
This task is not easy, but Xie Hongdao is not surprised but delighted.
Since he wanted to join his grandson and win a future in Zhennanbo Mansion, he had to show his value and let Su Ziji take a look.
If I, the real prince of Zhennan Bofu, cannot do things for my grandson and make meritorious deeds, why should I talk about winning a future for the Bofu?
Xie Hongdao knew that this was a declaration of surrender, and immediately kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Highness, please rest assured, I will definitely contact them well and examine their attitude towards Your Highness, but..."
He smiled bitterly and said, "The villain is being chased by monsters. These monsters are good at hiding and tracking. If I leave, they will swarm me again, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for the villain to escape."
Xie Hongdao did have rules on how to contact these people, and he was not timid. Although he was a servant in the uncle's house in the past, the information he had and the methods he learned were not comparable to ordinary people.
But even though he has the ability to kill people and can still confront ordinary monsters, when faced with the siege of a group of monsters, he really has no choice but to run for his life.
I'm afraid that as soon as I leave my grandson now, I will be immediately chased by monsters.
Su Ziji said calmly: "You underestimate the people who are alone. These monsters are nothing more than..."
Just as he was talking, screams suddenly came from outside, sharp and harsh. Su Ziji smiled, stopped talking, and just raised the cup.
"Ah, ah, ah!"
The faint screams coming from the east or west in the rainy night were the beginning of Hui Dao's killing. At this time, in the rain, I could see the lights in the houses were on, and even across an alley, I could hear the night watchman.
The gong was beaten slowly, and from time to time the sound of "It's all right-dang" was heard.
There was no one around at night, and monsters were being harvested one by one without attracting much attention.
Even if someone nearby hears screams, ordinary people would not dare to come out to check such a terrifying sound.
In the alley
Huidao was not wearing any clothes and was standing wet. In front of him were several corpses. Their true colors had been revealed. They were all kinds of animals. Their blood was flowing with the rain. However, Huidao had no time to ask: "It's strange.
, you are just monsters that are not even big monsters, how could you possibly be able to hide your presence and make it take a while for me to find you?"
"Bah, why should we answer you?"
About a dozen monsters were in the alley, outside and on the trees beyond, confronting Hui Dao.
They refused to answer, but although their teeth were sharp and their claws were gleaming with cold light, they remained motionless. Their eyes were fixed on the old man and they did not dare to relax for a moment.
A tiger demon said bitterly: "Hey! You are such a wise old man, we have no enmity with you, why do you need to stand up for us?"
A monster around it also shouted: "What does the person we want to kill have to do with you, and you came to stop it? And you killed so many brothers like us!"
"Do you know who we are? If you offend us, you will become the enemy of the demon clan in the world!"
However, Hui Dao knew that he had killed some monsters and the remaining monsters were frightened, so they became so angry and angry.
If he was really not afraid, he would have rushed up to me, then lowered his face and said coldly: "It seems that you don't want to answer, so I can only show mercy and send you on your way."
"As for the demon clan..." Huidao sneered, his disdain evident in his words.
