Chapter 21 Escape
Chapter 21 Escape
Ximen had said earlier that he only practiced martial arts for one purpose - to take revenge.
Blood feud.
That hatred is like the raging sea in a storm, and he never dares to forget it.
He went to Xinzheng partly because of Zhang Liang, and partly because his enemy also lives there.A mansion with high walls, heavily guarded guards, people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, can't wait to stick barbs in a radius of ten miles.
Zhang Liang once said that "Ximen" was the surname of an aristocrat, and he half-jokingly asked Ximen Yan, when he inherits the family business and is famous all over the world, don't forget his ineffective junior brother.Ximen Yan only answered two words:
"Homeless."
Later, Zhang Liang never asked him about his family background.
He is indeed an empress of nobility, but the century-old foundation has been cut off by him.When he was four years old, he hid in a secret door and saw with his own eyes through the door that the enemy strangled his mother to death, skinned his father, burned the family tree, snatched the family seal, and seized all the property accumulated by his ancestors.
To make matters worse, the wicked will never be rewarded, and the disaster will last for thousands of years.That enemy robbed the property of the Ximen family and fled to South Korea non-stop. With his business skills, after repeated reselling, he became rich as an enemy.
Ximen Yan's father did good deeds all his life, but died unexpectedly.That wicked man burned, killed, looted, and he was so vicious, he reached the sky in one step.
Later, Ximen Yan remembered a sentence: "There is no reward for cause and effect, and the evil will stay forever."
His enemy is the master of the Yu Qilin - Jade Tiger.
Jade Tiger's status in South Korea is like the source of the surging Yangtze River. Without him, hundreds of shops in South Korea will become empty shells overnight.South Korea, a weak country that is already peaceful in a corner of the world, has lost its economic support.Many counselors in the Six Kingdoms asserted that if South Korea is destroyed, it can start with the Emerald Tiger.Without its source of income, South Korea is vulnerable.The Koreans naturally understand this truth. The King of Han has listened to Ji Wuye's advice over the years, while dismantling the power of the Emerald Tiger, he sent people to secretly protect it.
This led to a phenomenon - Jade Tiger, as many people wanted to kill him, as many people wanted to protect him.
Therefore, Ximen Yan was alone and had no one to help, so the difficulty of assassination can be imagined.In order to be safe, he planned the assassination carefully, and this strategy lasted for three full years.
That night, thunder and lightning flashed, black clouds rolled in the air like waves, and the storm seemed to swallow the entire city of Xinzheng.He rushed to Zhang Liang's residence covered in blood, his whole body was icy cold.
As soon as Zhang Liang opened the door, he smelled blood from his nose, thought he was injured, and he thumped in his heart, "Senior brother, what's wrong with you!"
Ximen Yan didn't enter the door, but hurriedly said: "The blood is not mine." He paused for a moment, and then said, "I killed someone, they will find me soon."
Zhang Liang seemed to have been hit head-on with a stick, and his head was buzzing, "Kill? How could you kill!"
Ximen Yan looked in the direction of the mansion gate, very urgently, "I don't have time to explain, I'm here to say goodbye to you."
Zhang Liang was confused, stepped forward and grabbed him, "What farewell?"
A thunder split in mid-air, as if to tear the sky apart.A white light flashed across Ximen Yan's face, and a murderous look appeared in his eyes.
"Shh!"
He suddenly drew his sword and laid the blade across Zhang Liang's bare neck.
Zhang Liang was stunned, loosened the sleeves in his hands, and stared at the person in front of him, but he didn't expect that the other party would face him with a knife, "...Senior brother?"
Ximen Yan's hands were trembling, his usually indifferent eyes became complicated, and it was like a beast was biting his heart.
"A swordsman, the most important thing to stay away from is feelings. When you meet someone you like in the future, the best way is to kill her!" Once, Cang Lingzi told him ten thousand times.
He kept it in his heart all the time, and after deciding to run for his life, this was the first sentence that came to his mind.Resolutely took the sword and rushed to Zhang Liang's bedroom.
"I'm here to kill you."
Zhang Liang stared at the sharp blade, he never dared to think, and he never dared to believe that the person who would visit him every night before going to sleep would face him with a sword, "Senior brother...but yes Is there hatred in the ovary?"
"No."
"Is that a complaint against the ovary?"
"nor."
"Since that's the case, there is no regret for the ovary..." Zhang Liang's eyes were red, but there was a trace of clarity, "I made an oath under the moon, and I would not go against the sky. Brother, just do it, I I won't say any more."
He looked relieved, as if all the precious things were in his arms and would not disappear.In contrast, Ximen Yan hesitated.He thought that it would be a thousand times easier to seal the throat with a sword than to kill the emerald tiger, but he couldn't do it when he met those eyes.
He claimed to be decisive in killing and attacking, but he was completely defeated in front of Zhang Liang.Vaguely remembering that night in the courtyard under the moon, Zhang Liang made an oath very sincerely: "I, Zhang Liang, will never take the sword that kills my senior brother, or touch the knife that hurts my senior brother. If I violate this oath, I will be destroyed by heaven and earth!"
Thousands of thoughts were entwined in his heart, which made him terribly painful.
Zhang Liang's lips were trembling all the time, but he just lifted his chin, revealing a large section of his fragile neck, allowing him to make decisions.
The moonlight shone on the blade, making it indescribably pale.
"Shh!"
Ximen Yan weighed it for a long while, and finally sheathed his sword.Zhang Liang didn't plead or complain, just a look, and he surrendered.
Zhang Liang's face turned pale, his eyes were reddened by the cold air, "Senior brother...what's the meaning of this?"
Ximen Yan frowned, "Don't ask any more questions, I'm going to run away quickly. You... just pretend you never knew me."
After he finished speaking, he turned and wanted to leave.
"Wait a minute!" Zhang Liang called out, his voice hoarse from fear and panic.
His legs were weak, he only stumbled to the counter to pack a box of valuable treasures, fell to the corner of the counter and got up in a panic, ran over in a hurry, and stuffed them all into Ximen Yan's arms, "You are out alone... .Be sure to bring a package with you."
The air was terribly thin, and I felt like I was about to suffocate.Zhang Liang didn't have time to think about it, so he took off the jade ring around his waist and stuffed it into the other side's skirt, "Sell these things in a shop with a lot of people. A shop with few people is easy to be remembered by the shopkeeper. Remember, if you report to the official Your whereabouts have been leaked!"
In fact, there was a panic in his heart, but he was proficient in these strategies, and they had already taken root in his mind.At this moment, he can only tell Ximen Yan everything he can think of like an endorsement.In addition, he couldn't say a single word of those emotional words that "we must cherish".
He was afraid that he would collapse, and he was even more afraid that Ximen Yan would die.
Tears were also anxious, they spun twice in the sockets, and rolled straight down, "After going out, go all the way to the west, and the east gate has the least guards. They definitely thought that you would escape through the east gate, and most of the guards would be killed. Send it there, if you go out from the west gate, you will definitely be able to—————————
Ximen Yan blocked his words with his mouth, and the hands clasped on the back of his neck became more and more forceful.
Cold body, hot lips.Thousands of words, nothing left.
After a while, they had to separate.
He came to kill Zhang Liang, but instead of complaining, Zhang Liang suppressed his panic and insisted on telling him to be careful, thousands of words were condensed in his throat and could not be uttered.I just want to take him to escape together, to the ends of the earth, where no one knows and no one disturbs.
Looking outside, Zhang Liang vaguely saw a light in the direction of the mansion gate, knowing that the searching officers and soldiers had spread over, so he pushed Ximen Yan hard, and shouted: "Hurry up..."
The sound of the rain was so loud that it almost drowned his voice, Ximen Yan clenched his fists, digging his nails into his flesh.
Zhang Liang saw that he was not moving, so he kept pushing him towards the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, tears mingled with the rain, "Hurry up!"
For the Fugitive, a moment is a matter of life and death.If possible, why would he not want to leave with Ximen Yan?But Ximen Yan's lightness kung fu is much higher than his, and it is still possible to escape alone. If he is added to this burden, he is destined to be imprisoned.
Ximen Yan was pushed to a corner by him, and the rainstorm wet their clothes.He clenched his cheeks, stepped a little, and jumped onto the wall.He didn't leave immediately, and he didn't look back.His neck was stiff, his throat trembled uncontrollably, and he said embarrassingly:
"When the lights are off at night, don't look at the corners of the eaves!"
He stood there every night when he came, and then waited quietly until Zhang Liang poked his head out of the window and smiled at him.The two got together and told each other the interesting things of the day.
Zhang Liang couldn't control himself, he took two steps forward, and thousands of words rushed into his throat, but there was only one heart-piercing sentence: "Go! Go all the way west! Don't look back!"
Ximen Yan couldn't say another word, jumped off the wall and disappeared into the darkness.All he knows is that although he has a heart of stone, he still can't lay hands on the one he loves.He couldn't bear to part with that gentle and jade-like young man, let alone implicate him, so he had no choice but to leave as soon as possible.Come alone, go alone.
The splendid life that Zhang Liang originally had should not be interrupted by this uninvited guest.A person like him deserves only such a life.There is a definite number of joys and sorrows, no matter how many times it is performed.
Years later, someone asked Ximen Yan, what is the biggest regret in this life.
He replied: "That rainy night, I didn't take the ovary away."
The man asked again, "Which rainy night?"
Simon lost his voice.
"Regret?"
"......not regret."
The two have their own concerns, you are afraid of hurting me, and I am afraid of hurting you.Under so many worries, he missed the rest of his life.
People leave, shadows disappear, roads return to roads, bridges return to bridges, and it has nothing to do with it ever since.
........... The dividing line of escape...................
That night, Ruoli heard the noise and thought that the Xiangfu had been assassinated, so he copied a mahogany stool to protect his young master.In the end, he didn't see the assassin, but he saw Zhang Liang who was panicking in the rainstorm.
"My lord!" Sa Yazi ran over and lifted the stool over his head to keep out the rain, "What's wrong with you? Why don't you stay indoors in such a heavy rain!"
Zhang Liang's face was pale, his hands were clenched tightly on his trouser legs, his eyes were withdrawn from the direction where Ximen Yan disappeared, his lips trembled uncontrollably, and he said tremblingly, "I wonder if he's safe..."
Ruoli had never seen him in such panic, and he was even more anxious, "Is anyone safe? Who are you talking about? What happened!"
Zhang Liang supported the green bamboo, slid down, and sat paralyzed in the mud, "He must be safe... must be safe..."
Seeing him like this, Ruoli felt as if a knife had been stabbed in his heart, "What's wrong with you? What's the matter, this is!"
At this time, it was unknown whether someone had leaked the news, or Ximen Yan himself had leaked his whereabouts. The officers and soldiers who were searching, led by Ji Wuye, had already found the Prime Minister's Mansion.Zhang Kaidi is still dealing with it, but Ji Wuye is angry, and he is a martial artist, so naturally he is unreasonable.He waved his open land, led the people, and ran directly to Zhang Liang's yard.
Ruoli waited and watched at the gate of the courtyard, seeing a piece of light spreading straight towards him, his legs trembled in fright.
Zhang Liang gasped for breath, his chest heaved violently, he forcibly regained his sanity, "Is someone looking for it?"
Ruoli trembled until his teeth chattered, "Yes, there are many people! They definitely don't belong to our family!" He pressed his back against the door, "My lord, what should we do? What should we do!"
Zhang Liang barely got up, his face couldn't tell whether it was rain or cold sweat, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Go into the house!"
Ruoli saw that he couldn't walk steadily, so he hurried to help him.
"what!"
As soon as the two reached the threshold, they froze in fright—where Ximen Yan stood just now, there was a puddle of blood the size of a palm.
In order not to worry Zhang Liang, he said that he was not injured.
But this pool of blood happened to be in a place where the rain couldn't get it, and it dripped impressively on the blue stone steps, which was very conspicuous.
How good is this!
