Chapter 13 Chapter Thirteen Trap

Di Qing hesitated, feeling like a caged animal.This is a big net that was premeditated. Could it be that the big fish in the net is him, Di Qing? Di Qing even began to suspect that the two heavenly kings were not rebels from the Maitreya Sect, but people who were ambushed by Xia Sui. Otherwise, why would Xia Sui be sure that Di Qing would die?If Di Qing dies, he will die at the hands of Maitreya disciples. No one will doubt Xia Sui! Di Qing was extremely weak, seeing Xia and Qiu pressing the handle of the knife made his heart chill even more.In the cold wind, the three of them looked at each other with vigilance in their eyes.Xia Sui finally took a step forward and asked, "Di Qing, have you met a Maitreya believer?"

Di Qing was confused, and replied, "There are two..." Qiu Minghao said coldly: "Don't be ashamed of your big words. If the king of Changchang and Jiguo really made a move, why are you still standing here?" Di Qing's heart was shocked, and he asked back: "I didn't say which two! Why did Qiu Butou know who made the shot?" In the dark night, Qiu Minghao's expression changed a little, and he said coldly in an instant: "These two are the ones we want to catch. Could it be that someone else in Cao's mansion took action?" Di Qing was angry in his heart, but knowing that his life was at stake, he retorted: "I killed King Zhang Yu, and Zhang Yu and Li Yuheng saw it with their own eyes. If you don't believe it, why don't you go and see it?"

Qiu Minghao's complexion changed again, and the veins on the hand holding the knife bulged.Xia Sui took a step back and lost his voice: "Can you kill the King of Growth?" Di Qing pretended to be relaxed and said: "Commander Xia came to me, didn't he just want me to catch a thief? Fortunately, I will not disgrace my life." Qiu Minghao looked Di Qing up and down, and said slowly, "But you seem to be seriously injured." He looked at Xia Sui, with a hint of consultation in his eyes. Di Qing shivered, although he wished to lie down and rest, he pretended to be calm and said: "A little injury, it's okay." He was afraid that Qiu Minghao and the others would kill him immediately if they saw that he was weak.

Qiu Minghao saw murderous intent before he stepped forward.Footsteps suddenly sounded from a distance, and a person rushed over and said, "Commander Xia, we haven't found any traces of bandits!" Qiu Minghao let go of the hand holding the knife and sighed.The person who came was Wang Gui, the deputy capital of the Xiaowu Army.Xia Sui shook his head slowly, let go of the handle holding the knife, frowned and said, "That's strange, I just saw the thief's trail clearly. Wang Gui, how is the rest of the place?" Winking at Qiu Minghao .Qiu Minghao said knowingly: "I'll go to the stables first."

Wang Gui shook his head and said: "The rest of the places are all suspicious formations, and no enemies have appeared." Seeing that Di Qing was covered with blood, he was surprised and said, "Di Qing, have you fought against them?" Di Qing nodded, already seeing that Wang Gui and Xia Sui were not the same people.Wang Gui came just in time to save Di Qing's life.Wang Gui couldn't help but asked, "Who are they?" "It's the Heavenly King of Growth and Heavenly King of Jiguo of the Maitreya Sect." Di Qing replied. Wang Gui was amazed, "Aren't they dead? They are not the ones to be arrested this time?"

Xia Sui's face changed again, and he sneered: "The dead may come back to life." If he looked at Di Qing meaningfully, Xia Sui ordered: "Wang Gui, follow me to the stable. Find some clues." Wang Gui wanted to ask more questions, but he had no choice but to obey.Seeing that Di Qing was on the verge of falling, he asked with concern, "Are you okay?" Di Qing gritted his teeth and said, "A little injury is nothing." Wang Gui and Xia Sui then left. Di Qing regained his strength a bit and dared not stay for long. He staggered out of the Cao Mansion, covered in cold sweat.

Suddenly, there was a bang of gongs in Cao's mansion, and people started to put out the fire.Di Qing turned his head and looked over, seeing that the direction of the stables was also full of flames, as if thinking of something, he sneered.Di Qing was concerned about Zhang Yu's injury, and knowing that this was not a place to stay for long, he hurried to the barracks.He was seriously injured, and he rested twice on the road before rushing to the barracks. After entering the barracks, Zhao Lv came up to him and said, "Di Qing, are you alright?" Di Qing's chest hurt so badly that he didn't care about himself, so he hurriedly asked, "Where's Zhang Yu?"

Zhao Lv frowned and said, "He's still in a coma, your luck is really bad, it seems that you are the only ones to meet the enemy." Di Qing sneered in his heart, and he was even more sure that this was a trap set by Xia Suibu.Others were still confused, but Di Qing felt that the matter was very clear.Xia Sui wanted to kill Di Qing this time, so he met him twice by chance and transferred him to the Cao Mansion with an excuse.There are no real enemies nearby, except that there are two killers in the stable, no need to ask, those killers are prepared for Di Qing, and the rest of the police must be Xia Sui's suspicion.If Xia Sui killed Di Qing, he could blame everything on the Maitreya Sect.Xia Sui calculated very cleverly, but he never thought that Di Qing was not dead!Of course Xia Sui didn't count, although Di Qing was far away, he could still hear the conversation between him and Qiu Minghao.

Di Qingxin was still a little confused by the voice he heard.Why could he hear those voices?Why did Xia Sui kill him?Thinking of Xia Sui's cold gaze before he left, Di Qing clenched his fists tightly.When he was thinking, he had already arrived at Zhang Yu's bed. Zhang Yu closed his eyes tightly, and Li Yuheng stood by Zhang Yu's side. When he saw Di Qing approaching, he suddenly stood up and said, "Di Qing, Zhang Yu was seriously injured. The doctor said that he might not be able to wake up..." Looking at Zhang Yu's pale face, Di Qing murmured: "Maybe he can wake up now?"The anger in his heart grew stronger, and he suddenly remembered the inexplicable beating of his elder brother back then.

Li Yuheng's face was full of shame, he took two steps back in a daze, and said: "I... I'm useless..." Di Qing sighed, patted Li Yuheng on the shoulder and said: "You..." Di Qing didn't know how to comfort him, and he was also dissatisfied with Li Yuheng in his heart, but seeing Li Yuheng like this, he couldn't blame him.After a long time, Di Qing said: "You take care of Zhang Yu, I'll go out for a while." Li Yuheng nodded in a daze, Di Qing had already left quickly, but he sat down blankly after not walking very far.When he saw the frost in the east, Di Qing stretched wearily, and went back to the camp to take a look, but Zhang Yu still didn't wake up.

When Zhao Lv came, he shook his head again and again when he saw Zhang Yu like this, and knew that Di Qing was injured, so he asked him to rest for a few days, and he will not be on duty these days.Di Qing nodded, and walked down the street, the anger in his chest was gradually burning, and there was only one thought in his mind, "This revenge must be revenged!" He thought for a whole night, and he had already figured it out.He and Xia Sui can only live as one!In this matter, even if he pretended to be confused, but Xia Sui couldn't kill him once, he would definitely kill him a second time. Di Qing is originally a passionate man, and he pays attention to distinguishing between grievances and resentments when doing things.Although he has been depressed these years, his blood has not changed. If Xia Sui wants to kill him, he will kill him back. This should be a matter of course.When thinking of revenge, Di Qing thought again, there is no need to tell Brother Guo about this matter, and he must not be implicated!Kill Xia Sui, if he survives by luck, he will die from the end of the world.If he died, at least he would have to exchange his life for another. With a bitter smile at the corner of his mouth, Di Qing never thought that he would end up in the same way after many years without running for his life.Is this life? When he thought of Desperate World, Di Qing felt a great pain in his chest, and that beautiful and refined face appeared in his mind again, with a gloomy look on his face.This is destined to be a fruitless encounter, is this also fate? Di Qing shook his head, tried his best to shake off the image in his mind, and felt a sharp pain in his chest.He opened the front of his chest, and saw the word "Five Dragons" printed on his chest, and suddenly came to his senses.It turned out that although the handle of the fork hit his chest, it hit the black ball. If the black ball hadn't blocked him, he would have been stabbed to death by the fork. Di Qing's heart moved, and he thought to himself: At the Cao Mansion, I suddenly not only lost my physical strength, but also became ten times stronger. Could it be related to this thing?Otherwise, how can I explain that I can kill the king of growth?Di Qing looked at Wulong, Wulong was faint, and there was no movement. Red dragon, golden dragon, heavenly king, Maitreya... all kinds of strange things came one after another. Di Qing thought for a while, but couldn't figure it out.Finally, he put Wulong back into his arms and left the barracks.Although he had the idea of ​​killing Xia Sui, he had no idea how to do it. Di Qing felt depressed, looked up and saw a restaurant, went in to have a drink.Today, during the ceremony in the capital, some people in the restaurant were talking about it, and more people flocked to the Vermilion Bird Gate to watch the grand occasion. Sitting by the window, Di Qing looked up and saw that the entire capital city was vast and vast, with the snow stopped and the wind not stopping.The day of sacrifice was full of chills.But in the chilling atmosphere, there was a red plum tree facing the raging wind, showing its stubbornness in the white snow. Di Qing looked at the red plums, and suddenly thought of the eight words "I haven't seen a gentleman, and I am worried".Even if he was in exile for the rest of his life, he would never forget that he met that woman in Bianjing, even though he never even knew her name.But what about the woman?Many years later, the woman may still remember, or may have forgotten!When Di Qing thought of this, his heart ached again, and he stared at Hongmei bewilderedly, as if he was already in a daze. At this moment, a few people came in from outside the restaurant and shouted: "Guys, let's warm up with some bowls of wine first." Di Qing squinted over, seeing Li Zhan, Song Shiwu and others, his heart moved slightly.Li Zhan and these people are all members of the Xiaocavalry Army and Xia Sui's subordinates. When the Cao Mansion was besieged, these people were all waiting outside the mansion.When Di Qing saw these people, he felt disgusted and turned his head away.Li Zhan and the others didn't notice Di Qing, they sat down and yelled, Song Shiwu said: "I can drink two bowls of wine in my spare time today, brothers, hurry up, I have to go to work later." Li Zhan said: "What's the hurry? There are hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops inside and outside the capital, we are just guarding the outer city, don't worry, nothing will happen." Gao Daming proudly said: "What if there is something to do? We worked so hard yesterday, and today we have to be on duty. We have to rest for a while. What's the big deal if we drink some wine?" As soon as the drinks were served, everyone was waiting to drink, and another person ran into the restaurant and said, "Why are you still drinking here? Commander Xia is looking for you, hurry up. Commander Xia said, after being on duty today, I invite you to drink here." Song Shiwu and the others were overjoyed and said: "That's enough, we won't be drunk tonight. Let's go." He said to the owner of the restaurant: "Write down the money for the drink first, and we will calculate it together at night." The owner of the restaurant apologized and said with a smile: "It's easy for the officials to leave. The money for the wine... is not in a hurry." After Song Shiwu and the others left, Di Qing filled a bowl of wine, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, he murmured, "Won't you be drunk tonight?"He has been worrying about how to kill Xia Sui, thinking that if Xia Sui and his gang get drunk tonight, then his chance will come. Di Qing felt excited when he thought of this.Looking up and seeing the red plums reflecting the snow, the plum branches were trembling, and suddenly thought, after tonight, no matter whether they live or die, I'm afraid I will never see her again in this life.Staring blankly at Hongmei, after some time, Di Qing calculated the price of the drink and walked towards the direction of Wheatstraw Lane. At this time, the imperial court held a great ceremony, and the alley was empty by thousands of people. Even though it was daytime, the wheat straw alley was as quiet as night.When Di Qing arrived at Wheat Straw Lane, he could only hear the whimpering of the wind, and saw the flying snowflakes, plum blossoms proud of the snow, but his crush disappeared after all. Di Qing stood in front of the plum tree, and saw the messy footprints under the tree, which seemed to be the footprints of more than one person.Carefully looking for the narrow footprint, after a long time, he squatted down slowly and picked up a broken flower. The flower was already broken, and the handwriting had long disappeared. Di Qing thought, everything has passed. Even though he thought so, a surge of sadness welled up in his heart, he pulled out his knife, picked a flat piece of land and wanted to write something.Di Qing thought for a while, and only wrote the word "precious".After thinking about it again, she probably thought that I would not come, and she probably wouldn't see these two words either.But... as long as I know what I think, why should I let her know?Staring at the two words on the ground, Di Qing was silent for a long time, then looked up to the sky and laughed, with endless desolation and loneliness in the laughter. He turned around and was about to leave, but the smile suddenly froze on his face, and his body trembled. I saw the woman who was thinking so much, and at some point, she was standing in front of him.I haven't seen her for a few days, but the woman is still glorious, but she is a bit haggard. The moment she saw Di Qing, there was a gleam in her eyes, but she didn't say a word. Di Qing stared at the woman obsessively, not knowing what to do for a while.The woman looked from Di Qing's face to his wrist, and suddenly said in shock: "Are you injured?" Only then did Di Qing feel the slightest pain, not in his wrist, but in his heart.He forced a smile and said: "We people fight hard all day long, it's not normal if we don't get hurt." A trace of pity flashed in the woman's eyes, she stepped forward to bandage Di Qing's wound, Di Qing took a step back and said, "No, thank you very much." He had made up his mind to kill Xia Sui, and then fled to Tianya, only wanting the woman to forget him.He still had the silk scarf in his arms, and he wanted to take out the woman's heart, but he could tell that the woman liked him, but he really didn't know why she liked him.But that silk scarf was the only thing the woman gave him, so how could he be willing to take it out? The woman saw that Di Qing suddenly became indifferent, her eyes showed surprise, she was about to ask something, but she finally lowered her head, and happened to see the two words drawn with a knife on the ground. The woman didn't speak, nor looked up.However, Di Qing saw two drops of water falling on the snow, making two shallow traces. The wind passed without a trace, but did tears pass?Heartbroken.Seeing the woman was sad, Di Qing felt apologetic. He wanted to comfort her, but he knew it was unreasonable, so he said cruelly, "It's cold, you go back." Under the ice-cold words, there was a fire-like concern. The woman said quietly: "Are you leaving?" Di Qing said: "Yes." The woman asked again, "Never come back again?" Di Qing said: "Yes. Borrow the way, please make way." The woman suddenly raised her head, holding back her tears, seeing the sadness engraved on Di Qing's eyebrows, she suddenly felt a sense of relief.Just waited to dodge to the side, but his feet slipped and he was about to fall.Seeing this, Di Qing hastily stretched out his hand to help, holding the cold and smooth wrist, his body trembled again.The woman stood firm and said in a low voice: "Thank you. You... cherish it too." Seeing her teardrops, Di Qing felt at a loss.Seeing the cold wind like a knife again, he didn't want the woman to suffer from the cold, so he hardened his heart: "Okay." He strode away without looking back, only to hear the woman whisper: "Both the boat and the boat." Di Qing's body condensed slightly, and what the woman seemed to be reading seemed to be the Book of Songs.The footsteps only slowed down for a moment, then sped up again, and finally heard the woman say: "Gen Geng can't sleep, if there is any hidden worry." Di Qing had gone far away, but the four sentences echoed in his heart, "Walking the other side of the boat is like drifting. If you have trouble sleeping, if you have hidden worries." I know that this poem is about someone who is sad, but what does the woman mean about him? Di Qing, or are you talking about yourself?Di Qing couldn't figure it out, so he quickened his pace and returned to Guo's mansion as if fleeing for his life. Guo Kui is not in the mansion, and neither is Guo Zun.Di Qing felt a little lost, and thought to himself that if Guo Kui was there, he could ask what the poem meant, and if Guo Zun was there, he could also thank Brother Guo for his care for many years.But on second thought, so what if I know?Thank you so what?Knowing it is just adding troubles, how can this kind of brotherly love be solved with a word of thanks? Di Qing sat in front of the house and slept for a while to recover his strength.When I woke up, it was almost dusk. Di Qing didn't tidy up his luggage, but just pulled out his waist knife and sharpened it on a big rock.When the knife was sharpened as cold as ice, I looked at the bright color on the knife, and murmured: "Daoer, I can only rely on you tonight, and you will be the only one who will follow me in my desperation from now on... Seeing that it was getting late , put the knife into the sheath, and carefully arrange the clothes, so as to be clean and neat when making moves, and not be tired by the luggage. The new moon had risen, Di Qing put on a felt hat, strode out of the Guo Mansion, found a random restaurant, ate half a catty of mutton, and swallowed two steamed buns, and then went to the place where he drank during the day.He lowered the felt hat first, and Ben went in to find out what happened.Before entering the restaurant, I only heard shouts from the street in the distance.Di Qing's heart moved slightly, and he dodged to a dark corner, only to see Xia Sui coming with seven or eight people, Song Shiwu, Li Zhan, Gao Daming, and Wang Ming were all there, and there were a few strange faces, but there was no one there. Qiu Minghao.Di Qing felt at ease, and thought to himself that without Qiu Minghao, he still had some confidence in dealing with a drunk Xia Sui. Xia Sui said arrogantly: "Brothers have worked hard these past few days. Have a good drink tonight. If you don't get drunk, you won't return. Whoever doesn't drink and pretends to be a grandson, I will never forgive him!" Everyone applauded loudly, and Di Qing was slightly happy , I thought to myself, the more you bastards drink, the better.He just stood in the lee of an alley next to the restaurant, staring in the direction of the restaurant. The wind is cold and the moon is dim. About an hour later, there was another noise in the restaurant, and Di Qing's numb body looked over with wide eyes.In the night, the lights of the restaurant became brighter. Xia Sui was already drunk, and was helped out of the restaurant by two of his subordinates. Those two subordinates also staggered, and without paying attention, all three of them fell on the snow.Xia Sui was not angry, but shouted, "Come and drink, if you don't drink, you are grandson." He suddenly wanted to vomit, but he vomited a few mouthfuls, but nothing came out. Seeing this, Di Qing felt slightly happy, and thought to himself that these people were all drunk, and it was the heavens who gave him the opportunity to avenge him.Pressing on the handle of the knife, Di Qing was about to rush out to kill Xia Sui when a big hand suddenly pressed on his shoulder.That hand was extremely generous and powerful, pressing on Di Qing's shoulder, it weighed more than a thousand catties. Di Qing was startled, he only thought that an enemy was coming from behind, he elbowed back and hit the man in the chest.He took two steps forward, turned around and was about to draw his knife.Not wanting the person behind him to be hit by Di Qing, as if nothing had happened, he stepped forward, grabbed Di Qing's wrist, and said in a low voice, "It's me." Di Qing only felt that his wrist was being held by an iron hoop. He was startled at first, but when he heard the man's words, he took a closer look and said in surprise, "Brother Guo, why is it you?" It was Guo Zun who came! Guo Zun's face was gloomy, and he didn't answer. He stretched out his hand to hold Di Qing, and walked towards the depths of the alley.Di Qing turned his head and looked, seeing Xia Sui and the others walking away gradually, he couldn't help feeling anxious.But Guo Zun dragged him, and he could only watch Xia Suiyuan go away.After passing through the alley and reaching a long street, Guo Zun let go of his hand and asked coldly, "What are you doing here?" Di Qing hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Kill Xia Sui." "Why?" Guo Zun seemed to have foreseen it. Di Qing said bitterly: "Because he wanted to kill me. If I wasn't lucky enough, I would have died last night." Guo Zun looked at the desolate long street: "Luck is not always there." Di Qing said: "Yes, luck doesn't come often, so I want to seize this opportunity. Brother Guo, I know you are doing it for my own good. But if I don't kill Xia Sui, he will do something to me sooner or later. I don't want you It’s embarrassing, and I don’t want you to participate in this matter. After killing him this time, I will go to the end of the world, and you will just... have never had a brother like me! I beg you!” He turned to leave, Guo Zun said with a sneer: "I'll only stop you once. But if you insist on dying, there's nothing I can do about it." Di Qing's heart trembled, he stopped and said, "Why do you say that?" Guo Zundao: "Did you know that Xia Sui drinks a lot? I've never seen him get drunk." Di Qing's heart sank, and he stammered, "Then he..." Guo Zun said indifferently: "He brought three masters with him today, and he pretended to be drunk. If you go, you will definitely die." Di Qing seemed to be poured down by a basin of cold water, his whole body was icy cold, "He pretended to be drunk, why did he pretend to be drunk?" Guo Zun sneered and said, "That's not easy, because he's waiting for someone to take the bait. He's waiting for an idiot who thinks he's drunk, goes to kill him, and then waits to kill that idiot." Di Qing broke out in a cold sweat, only then realized that meeting Song Shiwu and the others was not a coincidence, and Xia Sui's drunkenness was also a trap.It turned out that all of this was just Xia Sui's re-arrangement. If he went to assassinate in a daze, he might have been killed by Xia Suige on the spot. Di Qing was awakened by Guo Zun's words, but he still had doubts in his heart, so he couldn't help but said, "Brother Guo, how do you know that Xia Sui is planning to kill me?" Guo Zundao: "I have already asked Wang Gui, Zhao Lv, Li Jian and Li Yuheng, and I know that there is a big problem with Cao's arresting the chaotic party. Just now I saw you gnashing your teeth again, Xia Sui pretended to be drunk, and made do with it a few times. Understood. Xia Sui really wanted to kill you, and he was not sure if you had guessed it, so he set up this trap to lure you again. If you take the bait, you will die naturally. If you don’t take the bait, he just thinks you didn’t read it. If there is a flaw, I will not do it again for the time being." Di Qing was anxious, "So what if he doesn't do anything? He's going to kill me, so why should I just bear it?" There was sadness on Guo Zun's face, and he said after a long time: "You are not strong enough, what can you do if you can't bear it? Are you sticking your head out to be slaughtered?" Di Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and said slowly: "Okay, I will bear it!" But he thought in his heart, this kind of thing is groundless, and he has dragged Brother Guo too much, so of course he can't ask Brother Guo for help. wait for the opportunity.He buried his hatred, but his expression became calm.Years of depression made the once rough country man gradually become deep. Guo Zun looked at Di Qing for a while, and said, "Come with me." He walked forward at a leisurely pace, entered an alley again, and sat down in a restaurant. It was freezing cold, and the restaurant had long since had no customers.There was only one oil lamp in the store, and it was as dim as the moon. An old man looked at the lonely lamp and waited quietly.He may be waiting for guests, or he may be waiting for the old age.People like him now seem to be just waiting. Hearing the sound of footsteps, the old man got up and greeted him: "Guo Guanren, you are here. Is it as usual?" It turned out that the old man knew Guo Zun. The old man had a scar on his face, his eyebrows were cut off, his face looked a little weird, and he limped slightly.When Di Qing saw him, he suddenly thought of his elder brother Di Yun, and felt sympathy for the old man in his heart. Guo Zun nodded and said, "I'm sorry, Father Liu. Is the store still open at this late hour?" Father Liu's face was wrinkled like a knife, and he said with a smile: "I'm afraid you won't bother me. I'm old and it's hard to fall asleep. It's rare for you to come and accompany me. Is this little brother your friend? " Guo Zun nodded and said, "Yes, his name is Di Qing." Father Liu said "Yes", then took another serious look at Di Qing, and asked, "Is it still the same?" Guo Zun nodded and said succinctly, "Two copies." Father Liu stopped talking and limped to the back hall. After a while, he brought several plates of braised meat and two pots of wine.Then he left quietly, as if he was used to it. Di Qing couldn't help asking: "Brother Guo, do you come here often?" Guo Zun nodded, lifted the pot and poured a glass of wine, and poured himself a drink, with a carefree expression, as if he was thinking about something.Seeing Guo Zun like this, Di Qing suddenly felt that Father Liu was waiting for Guo Zun, so he refused to close the shop for so long.Guo Zun obviously also came here often. Di Qing looked at the dishes of stewed vegetables and a pot of wine, thinking of Guo Zun drinking alone at night, and felt that Brother Guo was very lonely and had serious worries. But isn't Di Qing preoccupied?He poured himself wine and took a sip, only to feel the bitterness in his mouth. Guo Zun put down his wine glass and said suddenly: "Before today's sacrifice, the Son of Heaven took all the civil and military officials to the Huiqing Hall to celebrate the Empress Dowager's birthday first, and then went to Tian'an Hall to accept the courtiers' worship." Di Qing remembered what Guo Zun said before, and frowned: "Could it be that the queen mother is really planning to proclaim herself emperor?" Guo Zun avoided answering, and said, "A few days ago, both Fan Zhongyan and Song Shou were demoted from the capital." Di Qing murmured: "Of course they annoyed the Queen Mother because they suggested that the Queen Mother return power to the emperor, right? But, what does this have to do with me?" Guo Zun stared at Di Qing, and slowly said: "But one thing I want to say has a lot to do with you. Xia Sui is originally a member of the Queen Mother!" A flash of light flashed in Di Qing's mind, and he lost his voice: "He deliberately killed me, is it because of Ma Zhongli?" Guo Zun raised his wine glass and remained silent.Silence can sometimes mean approval. Di Qing finally understood what was going on and felt palpitations. Guo Zun finished his glass of wine, and said again: "You must have understood that although your case is settled, the matter is not over. Xia Sui is a member of the Empress Dowager, and this time I killed you, most likely to vent my anger for Ma Jiliang." His gaze Flashing, hesitating to speak. Di Qing didn't notice Guo Zun's strangeness, and the hand holding the cup was bruised, "I understand..." "You understand, but there is one thing I don't understand." Guo Zun's eyes flashed sharply, and he asked in a deep voice, "How do you have the ability to kill Zengchang Tianwang again?" Guo Zun's eyes were burning, but Di Qing had a clear conscience, and said with a wry smile, "I don't know." "You don't know?" Guo Zun asked with a frown, "How could you not know?" Di Qing hesitated for a moment, reached into his arms and took out the five dragons and put them on the table, wondering: "I really don't know, brother Guo, I... I'm afraid it's this thing that's causing the trouble." He didn't know how to explain it at all, and he thought Guo Zun would not believe his explanation. He didn't want Guo Zun to see Wulong, his face changed suddenly, and he lost his voice: "Why is this Wulong in your hands?" At that moment, Guo Zun's eyes were full of horror, surprise, boundless confusion, and even a little fear.Seeing this, Di Qing was puzzled and asked, "Brother Guo, have you seen this thing?" There was a click, and the wine glass in Guo Zun's hand was broken, but he didn't realize it, and murmured: "Maitreya is born, and the new Buddha crosses the catastrophe. The five dragons reappear, and the tears are endless! The five dragons... finally came out again. Could it be... what he said was actually true?" Di Qing heard that Guo Zun was exactly the same as what the Duowen Heavenly King said back then, and said in shock: "Brother Guo, what's wrong with you?" Guo Zun finally came back to his senses, stared at the five dragons on the table, stretched out his hand for a long time, touched it lightly, and asked in a low voice, "Di Qing, how did you get the five dragons?" dragon?" Although Di Qing was surprised by Guo Zun's reaction, he still recounted everything that happened that day. He had long regarded Guo Zun as a relative.He hid this matter for a long time, and besides Guo Zun, he couldn't find anyone to confide in. Guo Zun's expression was in a trance, as if he was listening carefully, but also as if he wasn't listening at all.After Di Qing finished speaking, seeing Guo Zun's distraught look, he couldn't help but said, "Brother Guo, what's going on? All of this...is it my hallucination? Or are these five dragons really... weird?" Guo Zun came back to his senses and said hesitantly, "These five dragons... belonged to the late emperor." Di Qing lost his voice: "Is this something from the Zhenzong?" Guo Zun fell into confusion, looking at the oil lamp, the flickering light made Guo Zun's face uncertain.After a long time, Guo Zuncai said in a low voice: "Actually, I'm not sure. When the late emperor was around, I was his imperial bodyguard. For a while, I saw him holding the five dragons and muttering silently all day long." Di Qing was dumbfounded, and asked in puzzlement, "Since it belonged to the late emperor, how could it be hidden on the statue of Maitreya Buddha? Since it belonged to the late emperor, how could Heavenly King Duowen know where it was hidden? What do those four sentences mean? Brother Guo, what do you really know?" Guo Zun sighed and said, "I really wish I knew." He felt a little lost again, and suddenly grabbed Di Qing's hand, and said eagerly: "Di Qing, all I know is that these five dragons are ominous things. If you lose it, it's okay ?" Di Qing was startled, and asked in surprise, "Why?" He never felt that Wulong was in danger, on the contrary, in his mind, Wulong was always helping him. The corner of Guo Zun's mouth twitched, and there was an indescribable sadness in his eyes, before he said after a long time: "Don't ask, I don't know either." Di Qing grabbed Wulong, shook his head and said, "Brother Guo, I can't throw it away, don't force me!" Guo Zun's body shook, and he stood up abruptly, trembling all over, his eyes became extremely sharp, even mixed with a bit of fierceness. Seeing Guo Zun's terrified face, Di Qing's heart was awe-inspiring, and his expression changed for a while. The lights flickered, and the muscles on Guo Zun's face twitched, and hissed, "Why didn't you throw it away?" His pain was mixed with restlessness, and he lost his normalcy. Di Qing said word by word: "If I didn't have it, I would have died in the hands of Zeng Tianwang!" Guo Zun's body shook, and he suddenly regained his composure.Sitting down slowly, he murmured: "If you don't have it...maybe..." Seeing Di Qing's excited expression, he finally sighed and stopped talking. Di Qing felt strange, and thought to himself, what exactly did Brother Guo want to say?If I don't have it, maybe what? Guo Zun lifted the jug, slowly filled the glass, and regained his composure.I was thinking in my heart, "The five dragons come out again, could it be that the man's prophecy is true? But if it is true, will Di Qing be safe? The five dragons are a disaster in my eyes, but in Di Qing's mind? He These years have been down and out, and it is rare to like one thing. How can I have the heart to let him lose the five dragons? The Daxiangguo Temple was destroyed, the Maitreya Buddha statue was damaged, and the empress dowager was furious. It turned out that it was because of the five dragons. What does the empress dowager know? Who is it? How did he know the whereabouts of the five dragons? Why did Bukong of Tubo ask for the five dragons?" All of this has become an inextricable knot in Guo Zun's heart! After a long time, Guo Zuncai said, "Of course you know about the fact that the first emperor believed in gods and the whole country believed in gods and practiced Taoism?" Di Qing nodded and said: "That was a joke many years ago. Even in our country, people say that Zhenzong is confused and deceiving himself and others." Guo Zun said: "At the beginning, the late emperor said that the auspiciousness came from the sky, and the gods gave him the heavenly scriptures. Many people did not believe it. But the late emperor was always a king. If it wasn't weird, how could he be so obsessed? I know, these five The dragon should be something given to him by the gods." Di Qing shook his head, "God? Is there really a God? How is it possible?" Guo Zun didn't answer, and continued: "The queen mother doesn't believe everything that Zhenzong said, and she is extremely disgusted with the so-called heavenly scriptures of Zhenzong. After Zhenzong died, the queen mother sealed everything about Zhenzong in Yongding Mausoleum. I thought at first that this The five dragons have also been sealed in the Yongding Mausoleum. After listening to what you said today, I realized that the Empress Dowager hid the five dragons in the Maitreya Buddha statue. I don’t want to miss it, but you hit it by mistake.” Di Qing asked: "Then what does the five dragons repeat four sentences mean?" Guo Zundao: "This is what a hermit said today. Back then, the Empress Dowager asked the hermit about the five dragons, and the hermit uttered these four lines of verse. I'm afraid no one except the hermit knows what it means. gone." "What's the hermit's name?" Guo Zun was silent for a while before he said: "His name is Shao Yong. I heard that he was Chen Tuan's disciple and grandson, and he got the true biography of Chen Tuan's disciple Li Zhicai." Di Qing couldn't help asking, "Chen Tuan? Is that the immortal who discussed chess with Taizu in Huashan?" Guo Zun nodded and said, "That's right. It is said that Chen Tuan is like a god. The Taizu was taught by Chen Tuan back then, so that he could start from an ordinary imperial army, and with Taizong, he defeated four hundred soldiers of the Song Dynasty with four punches and two sticks. Junzhou." Seeing that Di Qing hesitated to speak, Guo Zun asked, "What do you want to say?" Di Qing hesitated and said, "The sorcerer who showed my mother's fate back then was Chen Tuan." Guo Zun was shocked and lost his voice: "Chen Tuan said that your mother can give birth to a prime minister?" Di Qing nodded, and remained silent for a while before saying: "These are all lies, of course they can't be sure. What am I? How can I have the life to be the prime minister?" Guo Zun's eyes moved to the five dragons again, the meaning was extremely complicated, as if he was thinking about something.It took a long time before he said: "Perhaps this is God's will..." Di Qing was puzzled and said, "Brother Guo, what do you mean by God's will?" Guo Zun smiled shyly and said: "It is God's will that you get the five dragons, but if you don't throw them away, you won't regret it in the future." His face was heavy and helpless, but he no longer advised Di Qing to give up the five dragons. Di Qingning said: "I will not regret what I did." Guo Zun stood up slowly, looking full of thoughts.With a long sigh, he said: "I still have other things to do, let's take a step first. You didn't kill Xia Sui this time, Xia Sui must think that you didn't see through his schemes, and I probably won't attack you again for a while You pay more attention, nothing will happen for the time being." Seeing that Guo Zun was about to leave, Di Qing suddenly remembered something and asked urgently, "Brother Guo, besides you and the Queen Mother, does anyone else know that gatha?" Guo Zun pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "There should be none." Di Qing's eyes flickered, and he said word by word: "Since no one knows the gatha except you and the Queen Mother, how could Heavenly King Duowen know? Of course, you and the Queen Mother didn't tell Heavenly King Duowen about this secret. Could it be that... ...Shao Yong told him?" He thought of doubts, excitedly said: "Perhaps we can find out the whereabouts of King Duowen from Shao Yong." Guo Zun sighed and said, "Shao Yong is a hermit with no fixed abode, so it's not easy to find him? But I think it's probably not what he said, could it be..." His eyes flickered, as if he remembered something, and without saying a word, he was gone. Disappeared in the vast night. Di Qing thought hard, but couldn't figure it out, and thought to himself: Listen to what Brother Guo said, Shao Yong would not tell this secret, and Brother Guo certainly wouldn't tell it either, the only one who knows the secret is the Queen Mother.But of course the queen mother wouldn't say it either! Thinking of this, Di Qing got a headache, quietly put down some broken silver, and left the wine shop.Father Liu of the restaurant didn't come out, he seemed to have gone to bed long ago.
