Chapter 25(1/2)
"Thank you for your hard work." Lin Fang said softly, "Where is that thief Zhou Bo?"
"No! Wenxuan, not Zhou Bo!" I felt anxious, "I will explain it to you later. We will go and save Zhou Bo. Disciple, you protect the leader!"
Wen You looked at me, nodded, and rushed straight to the back door.
There was no one in the back door, and even Lao Pei was not seen.
"Secret Road!" I shouted.
As soon as I finished speaking, I saw a fire rising from behind me, like a charming red flower blooming in the silent night—
It is exactly where Zhou Bo's room is located.
We ran.
The Zhou mansion was already in chaos. Thanks to Zhou Bo's more than a dozen concubines, the mansion was filled with screams from women.
We soon arrived at the fire.
The two big houses have already ignited flames, and flames have already begun to ignite dozens of houses around them.
The flames soaring into the sky were like a monster, looking at the world with a grim smile.
Wen You suddenly grabbed my hand: "Qinghong... You and Huo Yang are a little slower than usual today."
I was silent for a moment and said, "Do you think Zhou Bo is still alive?"
Looking at the flames, beams kept falling and smoke filled the sky.
Wen You looked at me and nodded: "Save!"
We looked at each other and smiled, covered our mouths and noses, and rushed into the fire.
When I rushed to the door of Zhou Bo's room, my breath stopped and barely maintained.
I was already poisoned, and I was injured many times today, so I could no longer hold on.
But I saw that the carved big bed had already been lifted aside, revealing the dark hole.
We jumped down.
The smoke gradually dissipated, and the suffocation in the chest immediately eased.
Outside the cave is filled with fire, but inside the cave is cold.
There is a hidden light ahead.
"Don't you really think you are Zhou Bo? A little bastard!" An angry voice came - it was Lao Pei.
Wen You reacted very quickly. Before the person arrived, the sword in his hand had already flew out like lightning.
We rushed to the bright light.
This is a ancestral hall.
Portraits and tablets of several people are enshrined.
At this time, Lao Pei's hair was scattered, his body was covered in blood, he held a dagger in his hand, and rode a man with a ferocious face.
The man on the ground had long hair spread out and was covered in blood, but his face seemed to be smiling - who wasn't Zhou Bo?
On Lao Pei's back, Wen You's "Je" was inserted through his chest.
Zhou Bo raised his hand and Lao Pei fell to the ground, his eyes wide open, and he was already angry.
"You saved me." Zhou Bo said, "but I can't live long."
He turned around and slowly walked towards a tablet on the left hand side of the house.
I covered my mouth and stopped myself from screaming.
Wen You pursed her lips and stepped forward to support him, but he waved it away.
A knife was penetrated deep on his back, as if it was originally born on his back, with a miserable shape.
"Zhou Bo... Stop moving, I'll have someone come to heal you!" I said hurriedly.
He shook his head with his back to us, stretched out his hands, grabbed the two tablets in front of him, and hugged them in his arms.
With a "bang" sound, his body fell heavily to the ground.
Wen You and I squatted beside him, and Wen You gently held him in his arms.
Zhou Bo was probably a little confused and murmured in his arms, "Abo, Axiu, I'm going to see you soon..."
I looked at the names on the two tablets: Zhou Bo, Zhou Xiu.
Zhou Xiu is Zhou Bo's own sister and is said to have died of sudden illness ten years ago.
"Axiu, over the years... I have lived a very hard life... I have done a lot of things you don't want... so many years, I really want to... see you... one day... when I open my eyes, I see... you are still alive... I have long been, wanting to come to find you... so many years... so many years... Axiu, I can't die... I'm afraid that they will send someone more powerful to come..."
I looked at his crawling figure, and his handsome and romantic appearance disappeared. Under his messy and long hair, a blood-stained face was as shrill as a ghost.
What is the secret of Zhou Xiu, Zhou Bo, and the unidentified Zhao man in front of him?
He suddenly looked at us with a soft look: "Hello...you are very good, never separate..."
I nodded firmly to him and said again: "If it weren't for saving us, you wouldn't have been like this, great kindness..."
He shook his head and whispered: "My body...even if you don't come... I'm just... dead quietly... Lao Pei, even the 'Zhou Bo' who replaced me, is ready..."
I was shocked and looked at the sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth, and my tears fell.
He suddenly looked up at the firelight in the distance: "It's all burned... Jin State... Zhao State... In the past... Jin State's many information... I passed it to Zhao... I also killed a lot... Sorry... Sorry..."
"Don't be sad, you have to force me." Wen You suddenly spoke out and held his hand tightly.
"I told her too...I had no choice but to force her...but she just didn't listen...A Xiu...A Xiu..."
He slowly closed his eyes.
Wen You's body stiffened, he slowly put down his body, and hugged me in his arms.
I choked and said, "He really saved us."
Wen You gently kissed me in tears: "Fortunately... we have no national hatred and family hatred, and no gap between worldly feuds. If I were asked to leave you one day, I would really be like him, life is worse than death."
I was so sad and moved that I said to myself, "Of course we won't be separated."
I left his arms and squatted in front of Zhou Bo.
"Brother Zhou, although my time is still short, I respect you like my elder brother. I hope you will never be separated from Sister Axiu in the next life. I will be able to be husband and wife again and be happy for the rest of my life!"
—————
Zhao State Weiwutang attacked the Zhou family in Jiangzhou at night, and Zhou Bo died for his country. Lin Fang, the leader of the martial arts world, brought twenty-four guards to eradicate the sixteen masters of the Weiwutang.
As soon as this news came out, the entire martial arts world of Jin was shocked, painful and happy.
What was shocked was that Weiwutang dared to enter the hinterland of the Great Jin Dynasty in a noble way; what was painful was that the Zhou family was destroyed in the martial arts world from then on; what was happy was that Weiwutang, as a native of Jin, helped Zhao kill several of our royal family back then, which was a shame to the martial arts world. Today, it was finally severely damaged.
There were dozens of escort agencies under the Zhou family who took out the tokens left by Zhou Bo and said that Zhou Bo had told him that if he died one day, the escort agency would entrust all of them to Lin Fang.
The news spread, and Lin Fang's strength increased dramatically, intimidating the entire Jiangdong Wulin.
Suddenly, more visits and sect leaders rushed to Jiangzhou to pay their respects to express their feelings.
The entire Jiangdong Wulin bowed to us in less than a year.
Jiangdong Wulin has been decided.
After resting in Jiangzhou for dozens of days, it was already March. The three of us were injured and the situation in Jiangzhou was settled. We took a boat along the Yangtze River and returned to Jiankang.
In the early morning, Wen You and I sat on the bamboo chair in the back cabin, holding hands to see the magnificent scenery on both sides of the strait.
The clouds on the Yangtze River are very heavy, and thickly block the sun behind it, only rays of rays of rays of rays, reflecting golden lights on the water surface.
The boat sailing on the river is like lying in a basin of broken gold, which makes people feel comfortable.
I looked at the green sides of the Taiwan Strait, and then at Wen You who had closed his eyes and took a nap next to me.
Today he wore a dark green shirt and a black robe on the outside, which made him look as handsome as a painting. His two strong long eyebrows were black and eye-catching. His clean chin actually had some stubbornness.
I couldn't help but reach out to touch it.
He suddenly realized, grabbed my hand and opened his eyes.
The smile in my eyes became deep.
"Mei Nu... are you flirting with me?" He pulled my hand to his lips and acted to kiss me. I quickly broke free and glared at him.
"Don't call me that... It's so embarrassing to be heard!" My dignified leader and guardian of the law, actually made a name so distorted, which is a pity!
"Okay!" he simply nodded, "I call this name alone. I only call it in the boudoir."
I said sadly and angrily: "Zi Su, you have changed... You didn't do this before, you have become... like Brother Zhou Bo!"
He looked at me, held my hands tightly, and sighed with satisfaction: "Hong'er, I asked myself that I was quite experienced and calm. But now I admit that when I really want to get someone and am about to get it, I really can't control it. It's me who has surpassed it."
Alas, he doesn't have to be so serious.
I gently leaned my head against his shoulder.
Looking at the blue sky, I felt tired.
