"Second brother, third brother..." Zi Che turned to look at the two of them, the smile on his face widening uncontrollably.
"Could it be that the young lady is not hiding in the world, but is in distress?" This was another person's voice.
Zi Che had injuries on his body, and this shot made the injuries worse, but Zi Che stood there as if nothing was wrong, as if the man who was almost vomiting blood when he was photographed was not him.
"Miss...she died, she died right in front of me, in the fire." Ziche's eyes were wandering, and he looked like he had collapsed, but only he knew how calm and clear he was at this time...
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?"
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.
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.
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.
Zi Che closed his eyes with a melancholy look on his face, and there was no sound for a long time...
Zi Che closed his eyes and said in a hollow voice: "The eldest lady died sixteen years ago."
It's not a subordinate's love for his master, but a man's love for a woman.
Everyone has a secret, and they will never dare to listen to Mr. Ziche's secret.
Zi Che was startled, came to his senses, and ordered coldly: "You guys wait for me here!"
That night, Zi Che took people to the inn in person, regardless of the fact that his injuries were not yet healed. Outsiders don't know, but Ziche knows very well that all the inns in the capital have copper pipes installed in the rooms. If you want to listen to the conversation of people in a certain room, you only need to open the copper pipes.
His eldest lady, the eldest lady he had protected all his life, died in front of him in the end. And until the eldest lady died, he didn't tell her that he... liked her.
"Dark Wind Tower is our home. We are the people of Dark Wind Tower when we are born, and we are the ghosts of Dark Wind Tower when we die. We have seen Dark Wind Tower grow from its peak to its decline, and have seen our home destroyed. Now we have the ability, Naturally, we have to 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.
It must have changed too.
Zi Che choked up and continued to drink one cup after another, "I didn't protect the eldest lady. 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 my incompetence , failed to protect the eldest lady."
When your Majesty asked this question, there was a hint of uncertainty and anxiety, but Zi Che soon confirmed his guess.
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 joys in life, so how could he not be happy.
The three of you have been together for a long time. They have been looking for Zi Che and the eldest lady for several years. After several years of searching, they gave up when there was still no news. Later, the three of them picked up their old business and engaged in the assassin business. After doing it for a few years, they began to find orphans to train assassins. It was not until a few years ago that the Dark Wind Tower was built.
"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". .
Can't go back, can't go back anymore...
The secret guard glanced at the copper pipe, then looked at his companion, and nodded silently.
"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.
"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."
"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 still be able to see the woman bathing in the fire and shouting sadly...
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.
"You show up at this time, are you enemies or friends?" Although they are acquaintances, Zi Che is still not sure why these people are here.
"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.
After saying that, he blocked the copper pipe, turned around and walked out.
…
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 didn't expect that someone could appear quietly under their noses. When they saw Zi Che's face, the three people in the room were shocked and turned excited. They stood up with a "swish". The man who was called Your Majesty even lost control and said: "Zi Che! Yes, yes." You?"
The secret guard following him did not dare to say a word, standing behind him like an invisible man. Until the conversation in the room ended, it seemed that someone was about to leave, and the secret guard had to remind him: "Sir?"
The other two people also came forward and gathered around Zi Che for a while to chat, "Zi Che has grown up so much that I almost don't recognize you."
After more than thirty years, we finally see each other again.
Hearing this, Zi Che knew who they were without looking at them.
They... haven't seen each other for nearly thirty years. He has changed, but what about them
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.
"Brother, it's me." Zi Che looked at the man's face as if it had been cut with an axe, and there was a layer of tears in his eyes.
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.
"Your Majesty, I am sure that is the Dark Wind Sword. All our people died under that sword. This is the sword wound. I have someone draw it. Please check it, Your Majesty." This voice was careful and cautious. Listen to Not old, but certainly not too old.
By the end of Zi Che's words, his face was full of tears, and he lay on the table feeling sad and blaming himself. 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 death of the eldest lady, "How could the eldest lady die? Someone discovered her identity?"
"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 the man who was respected as the emperor.
