Fighter of the Destiny

The beauty in palace clothes walked to the window, looked at the sunshine in the courtyard, and remained silent.

The sun fell on her face, but it couldn't bring much warmth. There was always a lingering coldness and haggardness under her beautiful eyebrows.

The kitchen was very quiet, and the scene was very strange. It continued and fermented slowly in the sunshine.

I don't know how long it took, but the medicine was cooked. The woman held the medicine jar with both hands and immersed it in the ice water prepared in the basin, waiting for the medicine to cool down.

Like Zhou Tong, the beauty in palace clothes is also very good at spiritual secrets. The woman cannot see her by the window, so she is probably fascinated by the illusion she created.

Finally, the woman raised her head and glanced at her, proving that all this was not an illusion, but reality.

The beauty in palace clothes leaned against the window and waved her hand gently, signaling that everything would proceed as usual.

…

…

It is impossible to drink the concoction after it has completely cooled down, otherwise it will lose some of its potency. The medicine bowl placed in front of Zhou Tong was still emitting a strong heat mist.

Zhou Tong was a little intoxicated by the hot feeling brought by the hot mist. That feeling made him feel full of vitality. However, when he drank all the concoction in the bowl, he was a little dissatisfied because the concoction was scalding. The roof of his mouth and gums - not blaming the woman, but dissatisfied with his own mentality - a little too anxious.

It wasn't blistered, but it was still a little uncomfortable. He licked it with his tongue.

There is a slightly sweet feeling on the tip of the tongue, a bit like the taste of rust.

He knew it was the smell of blood, so he couldn't help but frown slightly, took a mirror from the table and looked at it.

He didn't find anything abnormal, except that the gums were slightly swollen and bleeding.

The taste of blood gradually disappeared, leaving only the bitter taste of the concoction. He grabbed two sugar-coated peanuts from the plate, threw them into his mouth, and chewed them carefully.

Since he was very young, he has been afraid of taking medicine because it is too bitter, so every time he takes medicine, he will prepare some sweet snacks in advance.

As he chewed the candy-coated peanuts, he thought about what happened to him today.

Xue He has been leading troops in the northern snowfields for many years, so it is natural for him to be able to obtain this kind of poison. But how did he get the poison in the underground prison just now?

Do you want to poison yourself to death, avenge Xue Xingchuan, and make the world think that this is a natural cycle, and you are unhappy with retribution?

The problem is that it is not so easy to poison yourself.

A sneer appeared on the corner of Zhou Tong's lips, and his cold eyes looked more proud.

The candy-coated peanuts were delicious, but the only problem was that they were a bit sticky to the teeth. He took out a refined silver toothpick and continued to think while picking his teeth.

Xue He had probably escaped from Zhou Prison at this time, but that didn't matter. Although the world was big, there was no place for the Xue family.

Zhou Tong's gaze fell across the window on the yard next door, thinking that after the matter was settled, he had to capture Xue He as soon as possible and then poison him to death slowly.

He had already thought about which poisons to use to make Xue He die the slowest and most painful way.

A slight click sounded in his mouth, interrupting his rambling thoughts filled with pleasure.

One of his teeth was broken, all the way to the root, lying quietly in his palm. There were bloodshot eyes and stains everywhere on the broken stubble, which looked very hideous.

Looking at the broken tooth, Zhou Tong's body, which had only been warm for a while, became cold again.

He was silent for a while, then picked up the mirror and took another look.

Just one glance is thrilling.

His gums had turned purple and black, and his teeth were so loose that they seemed to fall down with a gentle breeze.

The increasingly clear and unbearable pain coming from the broken tooth made his body tremble again.

He just wanted to pick out the sugar stains between his teeth, but he pried out a tooth.

The front end of the delicate silver toothpick has completely turned black, like charcoal, which is very shocking.

It's all an illusion, he told himself.

He is really experienced in using poison. He believes that he has absolutely no wrong judgment. Even if his detoxification method cannot completely remove the toxins from the body, it can definitely suppress those toxins temporarily, and then he will have It took a lot of time to slowly solve this problem.

But why is it that even though he has taken the medicine, the poison in his body is not suppressed, but becomes more terrifying and has invaded his teeth?

Zhou Tong couldn't understand and was silent for a long time.

Until this moment, he still had not thought that there was nothing wrong with the medicine he used, but there might be problems during the process of decoction.

He never doubted women.

He took out two precious pills, put them into his mouth, and swallowed them directly, temporarily suppressing the emerging poison.

He felt a little dizzy and dazzled at this time.

If it weren't for his dazzling eyes, how could he have seen the woman walking to the door of the courtyard.

On the woman's arm was a bundle made of floral blue cloth.

The baggage was small and simple, and it couldn't hold too many things.

Yes, of course, he has bought her so many valuable things over the years, how can such a small baggage be carried away.

So she couldn't be preparing to leave, she couldn't be preparing to abandon herself, it couldn't be that something was wrong with her, it couldn't be that she was poisoned.

Then it was indeed his eyesight. The poison was so powerful that it even caused him to hallucinate.

Zhou Tong said this to himself, and then stood up from the chair.

There was about ten feet between the room and the main entrance, and the courtyard in the middle was filled with sunlight.

He and the woman looked at each other from a distance across the sunlight.

The woman's expression was calm, gentle and peaceful, slightly blessed, just like every time she said goodbye to him, but it was her who said goodbye today.

It turns out that all this was not an illusion.

Why? Zhou Tong didn't ask, because he knew that there were countless reasons for this, but since he didn't discover it before, why bother discovering it now.

The cruelest thing in the world is that when you don't want to know the answer, someone wants to tell you the answer.

She doesn't like you and has never liked you.

The beauty in palace clothes walked outside the door and said to him: She is just afraid of you, so she doesn't dare to leave.

Why are you not afraid today? Of course it was because he was going to die.

Zhou Tong was not surprised by her appearance.

In fact, he couldn't figure it out at this time. It wasn't that his medicine didn't work, but that someone had added another poison to the medicine.

From the moment he figured this out, he knew that someone had come to this small courtyard, and even knew who that person was.

The person who knows you best is of course not your relatives, otherwise Xue Xingchuan would have died so tragically, and his body would have been almost exposed in the wilderness.

The people who know you best are not necessarily your enemies as the book says, because you will always be wary of your enemies and take a lot of precautions in advance.

The person who knows you best may not be your friend. It’s wonderful to be together as before, but you spend too little time together, and the distance between the two cities is too far. When you meet, you always drink, recall the past, and look forward to the future. In the future, it will be difficult to have the opportunity to talk about some very detailed things when I criticize my former teacher and my current court.

So the people who know you best are often your work partners.

In working day after day for many years, it is difficult for you to understand each other. You will drink together many times and talk about many details. And because of implicit or explicit competitive relationships, you will put these things into perspective. Remember things very clearly so that you may need them at any time in the future. For example, he knows which lunch box you like best, you know which noodles he likes best, he knows which leader you hate the most, you know which channel he likes best, and he knows how many girlfriends you have had over the years. You know that he has been on a few boats in the past month. In the early morning of Christmas Eve, you may even come out of the same convenient hotel and smile at each other, because the company can get the most suitable hotel in this convenient hotel. negotiated price.

Logically speaking, Zhou Tong has no work partners, because the Qing Officials Department is a very special yamen. It is directly responsible to Queen Tianhai and does not need to deal with anyone in the court. Cheng Jun, the Eight Tigers, and Tiqi are all his subordinate, but there are always some special beings in the world, such as this beauty in palace attire.

The Holy Queen of Tianhai relied on Xue Xingchuan, Tianchui, Xu Shiji and other divine generals to control the Zhou army. However, she controlled the court and then ruled the hundreds of millions of people in the Zhou Dynasty mainly through two people, one was Zhou Tong, and the other was of course Zhou Tong. Mo Yu.

They are the right-hand men of Queen Tianhai in the court, and are privately denounced by many people as collaborating. They have worked together for several years. Although they are not in the same mind, they have a tacit understanding, whether they are facing the Tianhai family or facing each other. The strong will of the military and this tacit understanding have always played a very positive role.

Because of this tacit understanding, they understand each other very well.

Zhou Tong knew the rebellious heart and unwillingness hidden in the deepest part of Mo Yu's heart, and was even vaguely aware of her thoughts about someone. Mo Yu knew that he had a well-hidden fear of the Holy Queen and this sun-drenched courtyard, so she found this place today and then delivered the most fatal blow to him.

…

…

Seeing Mo Yu walk in from the door, Zhou Tong quickly calmed down, even faster than he thought. In the days after the Tianshu Mausoleum incident, he had been asking the Qing officials to track down or confirm her whereabouts in the south. Perhaps because of this, he had already been mentally prepared to see her in Kyoto.

He said to Mo Yu: I knew you would definitely return to Kyoto, but I didn't expect it would be now.

Mo Yu asked: Why?

Zhou Tong said: Since you know very well, you will definitely die when you return to Kyoto.

Mo Yu looked at him and said, I don't really care about this, as long as you die in front of me.

Zhou Tong didn't know that Chen Changsheng said something very similar not long ago.

He looked at Mo Yu and asked, Are you coming back to avenge your empress?

I don't have such ability, and you are not my enemy because you don't have such qualifications.

In Mo Yu's view, he was just a dog raised by the mother-in-law: I am here to punish the dog for the mother-in-law.

Zhou Tong was silent for a while and said, How are you going to punish this dog?

Mo Yu said: Put it in a pot and stew it? I think it looks good.

Zhou Tong looked at her and said seriously: You don't have to be that rabbit.

I don't mean to cook you to death. I'm just not as experienced as you in torturing people, so I can only think of boiling you to death.

Mo Yu looked at him and asked seriously: Do you have any other good suggestions?
