Fighter of the Destiny

At this time, half of his shoulders and arms had been chopped off by Chen Changsheng's knife, and one of his eyes was blind. If he looked like a dog, then he must be a lost dog.

Xue Xingchuan frowned and said, Just meditate and recuperate.

Zhou Tong still didn't listen to him. He turned his neck with difficulty and looked at the palace door. He saw the chair and knew that Xue Xingchuan had been guarding there before and had been silent for a long time.

Then he asked: Has the empress come?

There were many stars in the night sky, and the ground outside the hall was sprinkled with starlight, like water, and it was very quiet.

Xue Xingchuan was silent for a while and said: As you know, the situation in Kyoto is tense tonight, and the empress should pay attention to what is going on in the palace.

Really? Zhou Tong squinted his eyes like an old dog. The pain in his left eye made him frown, and his voice trembled: Then... did the empress say anything?

This time Xue Xingchuan remained silent for a longer time without speaking.

Zhou Tong pulled up the corners of his lips and showed an ugly and even scary smile. He looked at him and said, Look, I'm really like a dog. Even if I'm about to die, my master won't care.

Xue Xingchuan looked at him in silence for a moment and then said, I told you when you were a child, you don't have to live like this.

Even though he was seriously injured, Zhou Tong didn't know where he got his strength from. He said in a vicious voice: If I'm not like this, how can I be like you?

Xue Xingchuan was silent again.

I have been unable to snatch you from my mother's womb. When you were born, you weighed eight jins and eight taels. What about me? Not even five jins. That's fine. Anyway, my family is poor and they will be like this no matter how much they are raised. But Xue My aunt couldn't give birth to a son and wanted to raise one secretly, so she found our family... If it were me, I would choose a fat white guy like you, but not a skinny monkey like me.

Zhou Tong said: Later, Aunt Xue gave birth to another child and decided to pass the family business to her biological son. She was afraid that you would be resentful, so she quietly told you about it before she died. I admit that you were good to your parents after that. , is even nicer to me, taking me to school and studying together, but have you ever thought about why I want to pretend to be a book boy and follow you?

Xue Xingchuan said: There is nothing you can do in front of others. In my own yard, I treat you like a brother.

Zhou Tong said mockingly: But that can only be done when there is no one around. In front of people, I can only watch you and Xue He being brothers and sisters. How do you think I feel?

Xue Xingchuan fell silent and stopped talking.

I was born with deficiencies in my mother's womb, and even my cultivation talent is not as good as yours. If I hadn't entered the Qing Dynasty's Yamen later, met that old ghost in the prison and learned the secret technique of the Dahongpao, and later ransacked my house to search for the technique, How can I reach this level of cultivation? How can I surpass you?

Zhou Tong stared expressionlessly at the top of the palace and continued: But there is a problem with the Dahongpao secret method. I later practiced it too complicatedly, and I have no hope of getting there in this life, but you are walking towards that step step by step. , I don’t understand, we are both twins, why our circumstances are so different.”

Many years later, when I saw you again in Kyoto, I didn't expect that you had already entered the Civil Service Department... But even if you started to change from that time, it might not be too late.

What can I do in time? If I don't work hard for the queen, or kill people for the queen, I will lose the favor of the queen, and I will be killed by those people.

Don't worry, I will give you an explanation. Xue Xingchuan comforted.

However, deep down in his heart, he himself did not believe this.

At this moment, footsteps sounded outside the palace. It was not the Holy Queen who came, but the medical officer delivering medicine.

After careful inspection, the medical officer carefully came to the bed holding the wooden case containing the medicine bowl.

From the moment the footsteps sounded, Zhou Tong kept staring at the medical officer. His face was very pale, and his only eye showed a strange and sharp light. Xue Xingchuan knew what he was thinking, how disappointed or even desperate he was, but there was nothing he could do to comfort him. He took the medicine bowl from the medical officer's hand, lifted him up with one hand, and prepared to feed him medicine.

Zhou Tong looked at the dark concoction in the medicine bowl, feeling the sacred breath and medicinal fragrance contained in it, and the expression on his face suddenly became a little strange.

What's wrong? Xue Xingchuan asked.

Zhou Tong's voice trembled slightly, inexplicably making people's hearts palpitate: I... don't worry.

That's not it. Xue Xingchuan knew what he was worried about, looked at him and said seriously: Your Majesty is not that kind of person.

I have done more things for you than all of you combined. I know better than you what kind of person you are. Anyway, I don't trust you.

Zhou Tong's voice became sharper and shriller, and he was a little short of breath due to his injury. It sounded like a broken bellows, whirring.

At this time, he looked like a stubborn child. Because he didn't like the bitterness of the medicine, he turned his face away, closed his mouth tightly, and refused to drink the medicine even to death.

Xue Xingchuan looked at him in his arms and remembered that many years ago when he was in his old house, he just refused to take medicine, and he couldn't help but reveal a smile of memories on his face.

After these things in Kyoto are finished, let him be sent back to his old home for retirement. I believe that no one will know where he will be except the empress, himself and Xue He.

Xue Xingchuan thought about these things, picked up the medicine bowl, took a sip, and said, Look, this medicine is fine and not bitter.

Many years ago, he did this when he coaxed Zhou Tong to drink medicine. He would take a sip for him first.

Zhou Tong looked at this scene and suddenly started crying, his throat whining.

Xue Xingchuan was also a little moved.

After Zhou Tong finished crying, he felt even more exhausted, but relaxed a lot.

He looked at Xue Xingchuan and said with a difficult smile: I figured it out, as long as I live, it will be fine.

Xue Xingchuan was very comforted and said, Just figure it out.

…

…

When the carriage returned to the Chinese Academy of Education, it was already surrounded.

The imperial army and the cavalry of the state religion surrounded him from the main street to Baihua Lane and then around the courtyard wall.

Chen Changsheng got out of the car and said goodbye to King Chen Liu, and walked into the Chinese Academy of Education under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes.

The door of the National Education College was pushed open, and the lights were bright inside. Although it was already late at night, none of the hundreds of teachers and students were sleeping, because no one could sleep tonight.

The sword formation formed by the female disciples of Nanxi Zhai has moved from the bottom of the small building to the back of the courtyard gate. Feeling the powerful sword intent, I believe that if the officers and soldiers of the imperial court want to force their way in, they will definitely pay a heavy price, but I don't know why, but the usual calmness and confidence can't be seen on the faces of those female disciples, but some anxiety.

Where have you been? Tang Sanliu looked at him and asked.

The teachers and students of the National Education College also looked at him.

Chen Changsheng left the National Education College two hours ago. He went to the bottom of Beixin Bridge, to the Liziyuan Inn, and finally to Beibingmasi Hutong, where he did a lot of things.

Because of his departure, the situation in Kyoto suddenly became tense. The National Education Cavalry and the Yulin Army came here one after another. The people in the National Education Academy naturally knew that something happened, but they just didn't know what happened. The battle in Beibingmasi Alley had just ended. Tang Sanliu had someone in Kyoto, but the news was not delivered faster than Chen Changsheng's return.

It's okay, let's go to bed first.

Chen Changsheng signaled Su Moyu to take the teachers and students to rest first, and then took Tang Sanliu and Zhexiu to the small building.

Nanxizhai's sword array naturally moved with him, and soon it came to the lakeside, and Su Moyu also rushed back.

Is everything okay? Tang Sanliu looked into his eyes and asked very seriously.

They knew Chen Changsheng's current physical condition and couldn't tease Wuji as usual. They originally thought that Chen Changsheng would never come back after leaving the National Education Academy. Who would have thought that when the night was already so late, he would come back again. It reassured them a lot, but they couldn't feel relieved completely.

It's really okay. Chen Changsheng said, I just went out to do some things.

whats the matter?

I...went to kill Zhou Tong.

After hearing these words, the front of the building suddenly became extremely quiet.

The night wind blew gently at the big banyan tree, but could not move the green leaves. It blew at the lake surface, but no ripples could be seen.

Everyone was shocked, especially the girls from Nanxi Zhai.

The atmosphere in Kyoto was unusual tonight, and there were signs that a storm was coming. Zhexiu and others could guess that it was related to him, but they didn't expect that he was going to do such a big thing.

There are countless people in this world who want Zhou Tong to die, but how many people dare to put this idea into practice?

Su Moyu looked at him with an expression of admiration on his face.

The girls from Nanxi Zhai looked at him, their eyes suddenly brightened, thinking that he was indeed the man that the owner of the Zhai Zhai liked. He was really amazing.

I said, Zhou Tong is the one I want to kill.

Zhexiu looked at him and said, Given your special situation now, I don't blame you.

Chen Changsheng looked at him and said, The reason you were imprisoned next week was because of my relationship with the Chinese Academy of Education, so I always wanted to settle this matter before leaving.

leave? Where to go? When the girls in Nanxi Zhai heard this, they felt a little puzzled and confused.

Tang Sanliu and Su Moyu knew the meaning of the word leave, and their slightly excited moods suddenly became slightly colder.

I said, just add more money. Zhe Xiu said.

Chen Changsheng did not argue with him about this matter and said, I'm sorry, I couldn't kill him.

A voice rang out from the girls in Nanxi Zhai: It's amazing if you dare to kill.

The speaker was Ye Xiaolian, a former admirer of Qiu Shanjun, later an admirer of Chen Changsheng, and now an admirer of Xu Yourong.

Tonight, she suddenly felt that it made sense for her to like Chen Changsheng in the first place.

Chen Changsheng noticed that the emotions of the girls in Nanxi Zhai were a little strange, and asked, What happened?

Ye Xiaolian said a little uneasily: The owner of the restaurant has never come back.

Chen Changsheng thought for a moment and said, Maybe you'll stay in the palace?

Ye Xiaolian shook his head and said: The owner of the restaurant has told me that she will definitely come back after nightfall. If she cannot come back...

After hearing this, Chen Changsheng, Tang Sanliu and others felt that something was wrong, and their expressions became solemn.
