Xia Houlin roared: "Hengbo! Taizhou's Hengbo Knife, I landed there!"

Shen Jue finally stopped, turned around, and looked at him coldly.

Situ Jin said from the side: "This person is full of lies, don't believe it easily."

Fanzi pressed Xia Houlin's head, and Xia Houlin's cheeks were pressed against the floor tiles, icy cold. He panted heavily and said, "I really fell there for the transverse waves! Young..."

Before Xia Houlin finished speaking, Shen Jue picked him up from the ground and pressed him against the wall. Shen Jue's face was cold, and there was a deep gloom in his eyes. He pinched Xia Houlin's neck. His hands were so cold that they were so cold that Xia Houlin felt as if frost was spreading from his throat, and his whole body would be frozen.

Shen Jue spoke grimly, every word was mixed with ice slag, "Our family is not ignorant of Qiye Jialan, how can Xia Houlin survive in seven and a half months? Listen to our family, from now on At the beginning, if you have a half-truth, our family will let you be like Su Yu, you can't survive, you can't die. Say, who are you and how much do you know?"

What else do you say? Shen Jue had already decided that he was dead, and he said he was Xiahou Lin, wouldn't he be courting death? Xia Houlin glared at him, his eyes were cold, like a handful of extremely cold snow. calm down. Xiahou Rin calmed down and thought about it quickly. It wasn't Xia Houlin who was going to have his eyes gouged out, but Xia Houlin, wouldn't it be doomed if he was grooming himself? So far, I can only continue to lie.

He took a breath and said, "I'm an old friend of Xia Houlin, and most of Xia Houlin's life transactions were done with me. He also taught me this trick of changing voices. I know everything I should know about him."

"Evidence." Shen Jue said coldly.

Xia Houlin hesitated for a while, then whispered, "I don't know... Is Jing Tie still in the hands of the superintendent?"

Shen Jue seemed to be shocked and didn't move for a long time. Xia Houlin didn't dare to move, he sat against the wall, slowly, the cold hand on his neck loosened, Shen Jue stood up and turned his back. A jar of plantains was planted by the porch. The green leaves were wilted by the rain and shivered in the wind. Shen Jue watched silently for a while, and said, "You all step back."

In a short time, only Xia Houlin and Shen Jue were left in the small courtyard. It had just rained, the night wind was bleak and humid, and Xia Houlin felt a little cold. Shen Jue stood with his hands behind his back, and he didn't speak.

"You are very similar to him, not just your eyes." Shen Jue suddenly said, "Xiahou Rin is like a plague. Anyone who gets infected with him will inevitably be infected. Many years ago, I was like this too."

Xia Houlin rubbed his throat and said nothing.

After a while, Shen Jue asked, "How did he die?"

Xia Houlin was stunned for a moment before he could react, and said, "He fought the abbot to the death. He was wounded several times, and died of blood loss."

"Did you collect his body?"

"… No."

"You are his close friend, why didn't you collect the corpse for him!" Shen Jue said with anger.

Xia Houlin rubbed his throat for a while, and said slowly, "It's a common thing to buy and sell people's lives, with your head hanging on the waistband of your trousers, and he doesn't care about it." He frowned, "Come on. What about the corpse, are you going to dig his grave?"

Shen Jue didn't answer, and after a long silence, he said, "How did he tell you about me?" His voice became so hoarse that Xia Houlin almost couldn't hear it clearly.

Xia Houlin didn't understand why he asked these questions, how many years of chasing and killing, knowing that the other party was dead, did he want to talk about old feelings instead? Xia Houtong pretended to be reminiscing and said, "I didn't say anything, I just said that you are his old friend. You eat the public's food, he is a chaotic party that violates the ban by force, and it is only right that you arrest him, not only can you invite credit and reward, Maybe it can go further." He lowered his head and smiled, "He understands it all."

"..." Shen Jue laughed bleakly, as if mocking, but also desolate. He never dreamed that he and Xia Houlin would be separated by such a profound and ridiculous misunderstanding. That idiot was so stupid that he thought he was going to kill him until he died!

The nameless sadness welled up from the bottom of my heart, Shen Jue closed his eyes forcefully, then opened them, gritted his teeth and said, "You are right, I want to find his grave, no matter where it is, I will find him, he is the one who was killed. The worms have eaten all, leaving only the bones and scum, and I will dig him out of the ground!"

Xia Houlin lowered his eyes, looked at his rough palms, and smiled: "Otherwise, you can kill me. I look like him. If you kill me, you should be relieved." He paused and continued. , "My life was picked up or stolen, and it doesn't matter if I die. However, can I trouble the supervisor to bury Hengbo and me together? Is Hengbo at your place? The transverse waves are entrusted to me, and I don't want them to be left out."

"He entrusted Hengbo to you?" Shen Jue turned to look at him.

Xia Houlin nodded, "A year ago, I fought Japanese pirates in Taizhou, and I didn't pay attention to getting them killed. Later, I saw it at the market, but it was bought by your Dongchang people. It should be delivered to you. Bar?"

Shen Jue felt annoyed, is this the person Xia Houlin trusts most? Even transverse waves can be devoted to it. Shen Jue was angry and sad, wishing to immediately kill the shriveled jerk behind him.

Shen Jue gave Xia Houlin a fierce look, and said, "What are you? I will keep the waves in my own hands, so you don't need to worry about it. Get out, I don't want to see you!"

It still doesn't work. Xia Houlin sighed.

Shen Jue turned to leave, he stayed where he was, looking at Shen Jue's back. The black splatter and the dark gold embroidery almost merge with the darkness. Xia Houlin watched him go further and further, and he was about to pass through the hall and disappear into the corner.

"Master!" Xia Houlin suddenly shouted to him.

Shen Jue stopped and stood at the other end of the hall. Xia Houlin took a few steps forward and looked at Shen Jue across the hall.

"Dare to ask the head class, why do you hate Xia Houlin so much?" Xia Houlin asked, "Is it because he is a chaotic party, and you are naturally hostile? Or... or something else?"

"Resent?" Shen Jue said, "I never resent him."

"Why did the squad pursue him so closely, insisting on killing him?"

The shadow of the lamp was dim, and the pale yellow light reflected on Shen Jue's face, but it did not add much warmth. Shen Jue turned his face sideways and looked outside the hall, the wind blowing in his face had a salty taste. He said: "I just hate him. I hate his liar nature, and I hate him for being ignorant of promises. Not a word of what he said or promises was fulfilled." He turned his head abruptly, gnashing his teeth at every word. , "Shouldn't such a person be killed?"

He turned around, his figure disappeared in the corner, and a smeared skirt flashed by.

Xiahou raised his head, the sky was a gloomy blue, and a waning moon hung in the sky, pale as paper.

I'm sorry, sir. It's that he is too incompetent. He can only do one thing in his life. He can't even save himself, let alone save others. He stood up and slowly paced into the darkness.

Shen Jue did not kill him and Zhu Shunzi, but sent people to watch them day and night. The Yanling Dao was confiscated long ago, and the two of them became veritable prisoners, and they were followed in the thatched hut. Xia Houtong didn't dare to provoke Shen Jue again, Shen Jue was too scary, even more moody than when he was a child, talking to him would be a life-threatening gamble.

They traveled day and night and arrived at Hejian House three days later. Prince Fu was in Bieye on the outskirts of the city, Shen Jue brought his men into Bieye, and Liu Situ Jin led a group of people to wait on the mountain behind Bieye, just in case. The terrain they chose was very good, and the other business at the foot of the mountain was unobstructed. It was like a small chessboard resting in the grass, and the heads of the people in it could be seen clearly.

Xia Houlin and Zhu Shunzi were both in the team left behind. The hillside was covered with dogtail grass, fluffy and green as if it was about to drip, swaying in the wind. They crouched in the haystack with Fanzi, wearing straw rings on their heads to disguise, and stared at the situation under the mountain for a moment.

"It turns out that Shen Jue fought this ghost idea." Zhu Shunzi whispered, "He wants to turn against His Highness Fu Wang, as long as His Highness Fu Wang nods, everything will be over for Weide. But can he really do it? Weide and Shen Jue are a powerful person. In the holding palace, one is wandering in the mountains, like a bandit, anyone with brains will choose Weide."

"Not necessarily." Xia Houlin said.

"Why? How do you know?"

Xia Houlin shook his head, he didn't know, he just felt that a person like Shen Jue would definitely not fall down easily.

Shen Jue was actually not that sure. This is the second time he made a big gamble in his life. The first time was outside Dong'anmen. He entered the palace alone. It seemed to be such a good weather that day. The cloud shadows are like fluttering goose feathers, the edges are scattered, and they are slender feathers.

But what does it matter? What he cared about the most was gone, and no matter how hard he worked hard from now on, he could only become the most powerful corpse in the grave. If you have nothing, you have nothing to fear. He adjusted his expression, curved the corners of his mouth into the most appropriate arc, and put on a spring breeze again, like the gold and silver embroidery on the official robe, and the red tinsel on the tray, perfect and just right.

Walking through the winding corridors and corridors, passing through the small bamboo forest in the garden, sitting in front of the water pavilion sat a chubby figure, wearing a big red dress, and the waist was twisted and turned, like a red around the body. Scaled python. He turned his face, revealing a round white face, Shen Jue went up to the water pavilion and gave him a deep bow.

"Eunuch Shen, stay safe!" King Fu laughed and said, "You are still so beautiful. Looking at the entire Forbidden City, no one can compare to your handsomeness."

King Fu has been getting fatter in recent years. Since he became lame, he has learned the truth that life is short and should be a pleasure, and he is very kind to himself. In the fiefdom, he is the only one who respects me, and is even more unrestrained and out of control.

"Your Highness praised me, no matter how good-looking your face is, you can't eat it," Shen Jue said, "Shen Jue's purpose for coming this time, Your Highness must understand..."

"Hey, hey, you just came, and you haven't even had a sip of tea, don't talk about such bad things!" King Fu interrupted with a wave of his hand, "Come here, show Eunuch Shen tea! This is an old friend from the West to the lonely one. The tea brought here is said to be not the same as our tea in Daqi, come and taste!"

Shen Jue smiled lightly, pretending to be playing Tai Chi, I like to play this set when you come and go in officialdom. This is to waste time and make the other party anxious. If you can't hold your breath, you will naturally retreat unconsciously and give up more weights. King Fu was the dealer, and both Shen Jue and Weide wanted to help him. He was naturally calm and calm, just waiting for Shen Jue to be unable to hold back and showing his last cards.

Shen Jue didn't answer, just lowered his head and took out a bright yellow scroll from his pipa sleeve. King Fu's eyes were immediately attracted, and he asked with a trembling voice, "What is that?"

Shen Jue said slowly and clearly: "The imperial decree." After speaking, he smiled again, "Your Highness, are you still drinking tea?"
