The scribe surnamed Zhong stood up in horror, but he was surrounded by people, and he was busy comforting the restaurant staff of the guests. For a while, it was impossible to tell who had stuffed him with paper balls while taking advantage of the chaos.
Brother Zhong? A scholar at the same table banquet turned his head in surprise, "The fire at the entrance of Baoguo Temple has been extinguished, so there is no need to be nervous. The wine is still there, the excitement is not over, why did Brother Zhong quit halfway? "
All the people at the table came back to their senses, and they all shouted to hold back.
The scribe surnamed Zhong's face turned blue, and he said a few vague excuses, but was still forced to sit down.
Then it was still watching the arena competition, drinking orders, hotly discussing the talented knight (…Chen He) just now, and arguing whether he or the swordsman won or lost.
The scribes were sitting among the crowd with their souls unrepentant.
The hand holding the wine glass has turned white, and my heart is full of surprise.
His name is Zhong Hu, the second place on the list last year in Autumn, and the Prime Minister of this dynasty twenty years later.
Below this person, above ten thousand people, he only worked for nine days... and then died.
The sharp blade pierced through his heart, and Zhong Hu fell to the ground in horror, looking at the man who killed him, with long hair in a tangle, ordinary clothes, not burly, and a little thin.
There are two long scars on the side of his face, his eyes are cold, and there is a strong anger.
At first glance, it is a common warrior in the capital. Zhong Hu usually doesn't even bother to look at these people, but he didn't expect that he would eventually die at the hands of such desperados.
Zhong Hu has been planning hard, meticulously preparing a grand plan for more than 20 years. Seeing that he has already controlled the faint-hearted emperor, he wants to manipulate the little prince as a puppet in the future. between.
Unexpectedly, just when Zhong Hu became prime minister, he had to travel 90 times a hundred miles, and eight out of ten dissidents from the court and the opposition, when he was about to become high-spirited and powerful—
Someone broke into the Prime Minister's mansion, and the three hundred generals and guardians did not stop him, and they messed up Prime Minister Zhong's banquet. While Zhong Hu was horrified, Zhan Yuanqiu, the most famous swordsman in the capital, drew his sword to stop him.
That's right, this Zhan Yuanqiu is the one who used the sword in the ring just now.
It was this year that Zhan Yuanqiu went to Beijing. After several years of worship at Dabaoguo Temple, he was transferred to the imperial master. This person is rare in the world with exquisite swordsmanship.
The two passed the trick, and the rockery, flowers and trees all suffered.
That posture, that movement, was like a scene just now...
Twenty years later, Zhan Yuanqiu was better at fighting off the assassins, and turned around to ask Zhong Hu where the enemy came from. Where can Zhong Hu understand, he naturally thinks of his political enemies. All Jianghu people love to use the disguise technique. Zhong Hu has been in the capital for many years, and he has become accustomed to these warriors hiding their heads and showing their tails. In addition, the generals of the family are only injured but not dead, and they do not see how serious it is. So he vaguely responded, sent all the guests away, and strengthened the guard of the mansion.
Unexpectedly, the assassin didn't leave. As soon as Zhong Hu returned to the study, a crescent moon halberd suddenly plunged into his heart.
Prime Minister Zhong, who was about to dominate the court and the opposition, fell down in horror, blood gushing from his mouth, and his eyes darkened. Zhong Hu remembered asking desperately, "Who are you... why did you kill me?"
The man took a step forward and finally revealed his true colors.
Half of his face is ruined, half of his face is handsome and handsome, his eyes are cold, neither joy nor sorrow.
He was dressed in ordinary clothes, and his eyebrows were a little tired. He looked no different from the dusty warriors in the capital. It was just that the intact profile and the familiar eyebrows and eye contours finally reminded him of a person, a person he forgot about. woman!
—Because this woman is standing behind the assassin at the moment, smiling and watching him struggle and bleed.
In addition to being frightened, Zhong Hu couldn't believe it, and scolded: "You bitch, you're not dead yet?"
This middle-aged woman with a frosty face was originally the first wife of Zhong Hu, the daughter of the Chen family of the Yunzhou aristocratic family. Just die unexpectedly! Unexpectedly, this woman escaped by cheating her death, and came to the door for revenge today.
Looking at the appearance of the assassin, the age of the assassin, Zhong Hu suspects that this woman is secretly communicating with someone, and has a villain! Long before Zhong Hu disliked her, he immediately hated and cursed in a low voice.
"The surnamed Zhong—" The woman kicked him viciously, then turned around and leaned on the assassin, "Seeing that you are dying, I will tell you kindly that this is my real brother, Chen He."
"Brother-in-law?" Zhong Hu sneered repeatedly, "Your Chen family is too deceiving. When your father came to marry me, he relied on Yunzhou to be far away, so it was difficult for outsiders to know. I married you as a descendant, Chen Xingniang, You are even more vicious, and you have killed my concubines and children for many years... The Chen family was reduced to ashes with a fire in Yunzhou, where did you get your own brother?"
Zhong Hu took a breath and waited to scold again when he suddenly heard the assassin ask in a low voice, "This person's vitality is exhausted, and his death is imminent. Are you satisfied?"
"Satisfied, he died before me after all—"
Chen Xingniang's body trembled suddenly, she held the short crescent moon halberd passing through her chest in horror, and screamed, "You! Did you find it?"
Chen He looked cold and nodded slightly.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me... If you kill me, you will have no antidote!" Chen Xingniang desperately clutched her chest and begged, "Brother, it's me... bad! Xingniang is obsessed and afraid of you. I also disliked me, so I secretly poisoned the tea without telling you! This is a chronic poison, really, I promise, brother, I was wrong. I will give you the antidote right away, only I know... Where is the antidote? !!"
"You are using Nanjiang Lingpizi. This medicine is slightly bitter and slightly sweet, and it is extremely difficult to distinguish it in tea." Chen He's eyes were still indifferent, showing no joy or sorrow, "After taking it, the toxicity was extremely severe. Slow, the high fever persists after 100 days, and the whole body bleeds to death. The antidote needs to be decoctioned with the green leaves of Lingpizi and three snake gallbladders, and it is only effective after ten days of poisoning.”
Chen Xingniang's eyes were full of fear, and her whole body seemed to be drained, and she fell down softly.
Chen He let go of his hand holding the weapon and said lightly, "You and my brother and sister met for the first time and cried to me that the night when my husband was in chaos and abandonment, he gave me that tea. It's not more or less than today, exactly half a month. . What antidote do you have?"
"You...you knew it long ago."
Chen Xingniang vomited blood one after another, and then hissed, "You are crazy these days, you can't even remember what happened a few days ago, and you are fooling me?"
"I wrote it down, here it is." Chen He dropped a piece of paper and said coldly, "If someone wants to poison you, a fool will find a way to remember it!"
"Father is right, you are an evil ghost, the whole family is dead, everyone in Yunzhou City is dead, you are still alive, you are still as immortal as you were when the accident happened, you are a monster!" Chen Xingniang said hoarsely, He continued to vomit blood and said incoherently, "Who would be suspicious of a poor and weak woman like me, who would be suspicious of my own sister?"
At this time, Zhong Hu was speechless, his consciousness was blurred, and he was full of hatred. In the end, he could only hear Chen He say one sentence.
"No, I just remember, 'don't trust anyone'."
…
"Crack!" The wine glass smashed on the edge of the table.
"Brother Zhong, what's wrong with you?" The drunk colleague laughed, "The wine order is not right, and if you want to escape punishment, you don't have to act like this, it's ridiculous!"
Zhong Hu pretended to be drunk and lay down, no one could shake it.
"Come on, hurry up and send this drunk Zhong Hanlin away!" Everyone said indiscriminately, calling Zhong Hu's long attendant and the little servant to help him downstairs.
In the distance, you can still hear the sound of gongs and chips.
Zhong Hu lowered his head and closed his eyes tightly, hatred in his heart.
He hated the Chen family, the sinister and crazy woman - if what Chen Xingniang said was true, the Chen family's own sins brought disaster to him! How badly did he Zhong Hu fall to marry such a woman.
He hates Chen He even more!
Knowing that her own sister was poisoned in the tea, she actually listened to Chen Xingniang's words and came to kill her, is she crazy? !
Pity that he worked so hard and calculated in many ways, and finally became the head of the hundreds of officials. After being the Prime Minister of the Nine Heavens, he was assassinated at home!
It's not a political enemy, it's not a rebellious prince, and it's not the emperor who is getting old and faint.
He Zhong Hu, studied hard for ten years, went up and down for twenty years, and finally died in the hands of a pair of crazy brothers and sisters, a warrior who could be seen everywhere in the capital!
Probably he was too angry.
Or the soul can't go away, and has been cursed in the dark, I don't know how long it has been hated.
Zhong Hu only remembered that the resentment in his heart was difficult to calm. When he woke up from the endless darkness, his chest was still dull and painful, and he suddenly sat up. Only then did he realize that the chest tightness was the hand of Chen Xingniang, who was sleeping beside him.
He became more and more angry, and he couldn't help but kick it.
Chen Xingniang fell down under the bed in a dream, her lower abdomen was in severe pain, she screamed, her face twisted.
Only then did Zhong Hu realize that the woman's face had no wrinkles, no gray hair, and no aging. The complexion is snow-white, he is eighty-two years old, and he is very young and enchanting.
Under the shock, Zhong Hu ignored Chen Xingniang's tears and anger and asked him if he was having a nightmare.
He actually returned to twenty years ago!
Just entered the Hanlin Academy, the title of the golden list, and the glorious scenery of Qionglin's banquet, it has not been a year.
Zhong Hu was surprised and delighted, he didn't even know he had dropped the mirror, so he wandered nervously in the room for a whole night, and all kinds of unfulfilled ambitions from the previous life appeared again.
At the same time, the source that led to his vain death in his previous life was naturally even more abhorrent!
- Heaven has eyes, let him do it all over again, why not earlier than when he was in Yuzhou for the examination
Zhong Hu is from Yuzhou, and Chen Xingniang is Chen Junshou who appreciates his knowledge, is optimistic about his future, and agrees to marry his beloved daughter.
This is not a wife, she is a life-threatening ghost!
Zhong Hu was angry from the bottom of his heart, ignored Chen Xingniang, and walked out of the room. For the past month, he has been thinking about how to divorce his wife, no, how to kill Chen Xingniang completely without attracting Chen He in the future. This evil way.
When he came back from his rebirth, Chen Junshou had already reported Ding's worries. It is said that the Chen family in Yunzhou was burned down, two years earlier than in his previous life. There is nothing wrong with Yunzhou City. The rumors are the same as in the previous life. It is appalling. If the fire pillar appears in the Chen family, I am afraid that it will be punished by heaven. Fortunately, these rumors are the belief of the foolish people, and they did not have any impact on his career.
Zhong Hu was secretly uneasy.
I don't know if Chen Xingniang's brother, Chen He, escaped from the fire, and whether he would come to trouble him again 20 years later.
And he still can't figure it out, how can there be someone who is not old and not dead, nearly forty years old, still looks like a teenager, and the two scars on half of the face are so terrifying, so they still don't die.
Zhong Hu thought about it, and finally decided to befriend the swordsman Zhan Yuanqiu early to protect his life in the future.
That national teacher, but a false name, in addition to money, what kind of power can he give to the warriors of Zhan Yuanqiu District? The noble family in the capital does not take these warriors in their eyes. Zhong Hu feels that he is handing over to him. With his smooth communication methods for many years, Zhan Yuanqiu has not been able to capture him, and let him take him under his command
So it took a lot of effort to invite Yiqian to drink and have fun in the same year during the Lantern Festival Dabaoguo Temple, and he reserved a good spot for the window of the restaurant.
Unexpectedly, Zhan Yuanqiu saw it, but the person he faced with the enemy was actually the person in Zhong Hu's nightmare! And that fire, exactly the same! It's Chen He!
Chen He lost to Zhan Yuanqiu, how could he be evenly matched with Zhan Yuanqiu twenty years ago? It also seemed to have the upper hand.
Zhong Hu's mind was shaken, and he was about to faint, but who would have expected someone to stuff him with a paper ball!
who is it? Who is it
Does he even know the secrets of his previous life? !
