Nan Yi kept his promise and came to Huachao Pavilion to find Zhang Yue the next day. She would appear in front of him all the time with her questions and force him to answer them.
Zhang Yuehui was such a powerful man. When he saw Nan Yi again, he was already acting normal, as if nothing had happened. He was laughing and joking, and surrounded by people, he took Nan Yi to play and have a banquet in the Huachao Pavilion, where he enjoyed singing and dancing. .
Nan Yi felt a little unsure, but she still followed him with a straight face, no matter how much Zhang Yue Hui tossed her around, she remained unmoved.
On the third day, Nan Yi came again.
There is a struggle between them to see who can't bear the loss in conscience.
But on this day, a small episode happened. A fisherman came to look for Zhang Yuehui. Zhang Yuehui's expression became unnatural for a moment, and he was hurriedly taken away.
All this fell into Nan Yi's eyes.
On the western day, Nan Yi didn't come and only handed Zhang Yue a piece of paper.
There are ugly words written on it with flying dragons and phoenixes, indicating Nan Yi's anger: Zhang Yuehui! You can't hide it anymore! ! I already know where he is!
Zhang Yuehui suddenly became nervous, and immediately thought of the fisherman who came yesterday. He was a secret guard who went to and from the river every day to deliver three meals to Xie Queshan. He also had the responsibility of monitoring and ensuring that people were staying well on the boat. Every three days, he would report the situation to Zhang Yuehui as usual, and when he came yesterday, he happened to bump into Nan Yi.
Didn't Nan Yi guess where Xie Queshan was hiding just by looking at this man's appearance? He didn't expect Nan Yi to be so smart and aware of the subtleties.
Since he had underestimated Nan Yi several times before, he didn't doubt his judgment much this time.
Zhang Yue was anxious. He didn't expect things to get out of control so quickly. These days, his heart has been frying in a frying pan, and he doesn't know what to do.
No one doesn't want to fulfill the wish of the one they love, but her wish is to fly towards another man.
He thought he could delay it for a while, but she suddenly broke the situation and crashed into the cage.
Every time, he was one step away, and he didn't want to make any more mistakes this time.
He quickly sent people to intercept Nan Yi.
……
In fact, Nan Yi had no idea where the fisherman was from. She just felt that Zhang Yuehui had a guilty conscience and deceived him.
Now, as long as she follows the two secret guards he sent out, she will know where Xie Queshan is.
Nan Yi hid her figure all the way and followed the people to the riverside, but the direction of the bamboo raft was not towards the Tiger Kneeling Mountain. She couldn't help but think, couldn't people live on the river?
Is Zhang Yuehui kidding her?
But whether it was true or false, she had to see it with her own eyes.
Nan Yi quietly dived into the water and followed the small boat on which the secret guard was riding. Taking advantage of the two people on the boat who were unprepared, he unexpectedly came out of the water and took action. Nan Yi dragged one person into the water and left one person on the boat.
Nan Yi climbed onto the boat and neatly put the knife on the man's neck: "Lead the way."
——
For Xie Queshan, the mood of waiting for death among the mountains and rivers is a bit subtle.
This isolated cage is actually somewhat poetic. He wasn't even sure if this was Zhang Yuehui's good intention, so that the last period of his life would not be too bleak.
The shackles on his hands restricted his movements. He could not walk out of the room, but he could see the scenery outside through the window.
He watched as the day and night rotated, the spring breeze climbed all over the cliffs, the ten-mile peach forest in the mountains bloomed, and the spring breeze wrapped the petals and fell all over the river.
It was rare in his life that he put down his plans and let his mind go blank. He thought of many past events.
He also had a period of confinement in the past, when he first arrived in Daqi. It would be suspicious if he surrendered too easily. The Qi people like Han people who are upright, but they don't like Han people who are too upright. This scale is very delicate. He had to be a tough guy for a while, and Ren Qiren used 800 methods of coercion, inducement, and softness on him to show his true nature.
In order to soften his temper, Han Xianwang deliberately let him be captured by Yu Chao's army. The border sergeant hated him to the core and tortured him in every possible way. He was then locked in a dark cellar, waiting to be escorted back to Beijing. Xie Queshan stayed in that cellar for more than ten days, never seeing a single day of sunshine. He lived like a ghost, and he really wanted to go crazy.
Those who tormented him were not his enemies, but his compatriots and colleagues. He had to grit his teeth and not reveal a single word.
This is also where Qi people are vicious.
But he knew that he had to get through this and make Qiren think that he had been broken physically and mentally before he could believe that he would be reshaped by Daqi.
When he was dying, Han Xianwang came belatedly to save him from fire and water, which showed the great kindness of the emperor. He knelt in front of Han Xianwang like a dog and said such shameless words as "Those who save the lives of little people are like reborn parents. Little people are willing to do the hard work of dogs and horses for adults."
So when it snowed heavily that day, and Nan Yi knelt in front of him, begging him to spare her life, and saying something like "a bone weighs several kilograms, but it is not worth a human life," he probably began to pity her.
He knew that Pang Yu would tell her something, and she pretended to be disgustingly weak in order to survive. He felt sorry for this courage to give up dignity, as if he felt sorry for himself many years ago.
He didn't dare to think back on those days. He was also an extremely proud man. When his mentor Shen Zhizhong wanted him to go undercover in Daqi, he naively carried the passion of a lonely warrior and even underestimated the difficulty of the task. But once you hit the road, you can't look back.
He and Daqi started from a period of confinement and ended with a period of confinement. He should have completed this task fairly well.
If there’s anything else I can’t let go of...
No, there can’t be anything that I can’t let go of.
A crescent moon has climbed up the cliff and is reflected in the water, like a sickle cutting the water.
He stared at the river in a daze, then touched a pebble in the flower pot and threw it towards the water. With a plop, confusion in the wind was like an auditory hallucination, the moon was shattered, and quickly gathered again.
Stubbornly insisting on being there.
Xie Queshan seemed to be struggling with the reflection, and he twisted another pebble. Just as he was about to throw it out, he suddenly saw a small boat drifting along the river.
Plop - as soon as his hand was released, the stone fell to the floor, rolled around a few times and stopped.
Nan Yi saw the painting boat on the river from a distance. Under the darkness of night, it looked like a black, abandoned behemoth.
A few scattered lights on the boat swayed in the river wind, almost extinguished.
For a moment, she thought about many possibilities in her mind. Is Xie Queshan on the boat? How could she rescue him from such a cage hanging alone on the river?
Nan Yi hadn't seen the figure on the boat yet, but he felt his heart beating violently in his chest, like a resonance caused by being close to him.
She withdrew her eager eyes and looked at the secret guard on the ship coldly: "Do you know what to tell your boss when you get back?"
"I know. I didn't see anything. I just came to patrol."
The small boat had already approached the side of the ship. Nan Yi put away the knife, grabbed the rope on the side of the ship and climbed onto the deck.
She was soaked all over, and water droplets were falling down her clothes. The bright moonlight draped over her body, as if it had brought up the moonlight in the water.
A few gorgeous peach blossoms floated in the wind, and he and she looked at each other from a distance across the deck.
Xie Queshan suspected that this was his illusion. It was he who hit the demon in the water, and the demon transformed into a human form to seduce him.
The water demon threw herself into his arms with a wet body and spoke in her voice.
"Great, you're still alive."
This is a long revenge.
Revenge When they first met, he rescued the dying girl in the water and gave her a warm fur coat. Then she wanted to drag him down from the mortal world, fill him with seven emotions and six desires, and save him when he was willing to drown. angry.
But he was just a dying shell.
He didn't respond to her enthusiasm, and finally pushed her away, uttering a few words: "Why did you come?"
"I'm here to help you," her eyes were astonishingly bright, "You are Yan, you are from Bingzhusi. Just like you turn the tide and save others, I also want to save you."
In the vast world, she was small and spoke these words without shame, with steep cliffs and rapids and deep rivers behind her.
He lifted the shackles on his wrists, and the iron chains clanked: "Tell me, how to save me?"
"I can't do it alone, so I'll go to Bingzhusi to bring in reinforcements."
"Do you want to kill Song Muchuan?"
"Mr. Song came to ask me. He has become suspicious of your identity, but I haven't told him yet. Have you ever thought that he would also like you to be one of his own, and you can fight side by side. Qirenduji I’ve already suspected you so much, and you can’t hide your identity anymore. It’s better to tell him and let’s work together to find a way to break the situation. There are better ways to live than to die——”
"Don't say it," Xie Queshan immediately stopped Nan Yi, his eyes filled with intense emotions, "Don't ever say it."
"Why?" Nan Yi was really puzzled, and his tone became anxious, "Other than Bingzhusi, who else can save you now? Do you want to wait here to die?"
Yes, he is waiting to die.
But facing Nan Yi's eyes that cherished him so much, he couldn't say such cruel words.
"This is the safest situation. Don't act rashly. You can go back as you came. We will meet again when the matter is completed."
Nan Yi stared at Xie Queshan blankly, and a chaotic idea became clear in her mind.
She felt that she was losing him, in this cool wind, under this incomplete moon.
She is not willing to give in, she is not willing.
She grabbed his hand in panic and said, "Xie Queshan, you are not allowed to lie."
Xie Queshan subconsciously squeezed the cold hand into his palm, betraying him with these subtle movements. He was silent and trembling imperceptibly.
"You are the hero who saved the dynasty from danger. You should clearly be praised instead of dying quietly. Don't you want your difficulties to be seen again? Don't you want to be understood by everyone?"
She had never dared to say these words in the crisis-ridden Lidu Mansion.
Because it's too fake.
But now that Nan Yi is anxious, she can only clumsily try to arouse his beautiful vision.
Xie Queshan looked at her indifferently, as if he had withdrawn completely: "Then what? Will everyone forgive me?"
Nan Yi caught something strange. What she said was understanding, but what he said was forgiveness. They seem to be almost the same, but also seem to be completely different.
How can there be anyone in this world who has no selfish motives at all? She asked herself if she could do it, but she thought it was impossible. She really didn't understand, what else was he hiding?
"What's wrong with that?"
He was clearly calm, but his expression seemed to be in great pain: "But Pang Yu is dead. Can any of you forgive me for him?"
Like a thunder on the ground, it illuminates all the past.
It turned out that the sword that killed Pang Yu was inserted into Xie Queshan's chest, and it turned around day and night without stopping.
She occasionally ignited the fire in his heart, but she could not erase his guilt.
Even she had neglected in her day-to-day life how she felt when she witnessed her childhood best friend die in front of her. But at that time, he just sat calmly on the dead tree stained with blood and was in a daze.
He disguises himself so well that people mistakenly think he is born with this ability.
He forcibly killed part of himself in the heavy snow. He was not worthy of being buried in the plum forest with Pang Yu, so he knelt in front of Pang Yu's lonely grave day and night.
No one saw it, no one knew it, no one said, "I forgive you."
He couldn't let Song Muchuan be in any more danger.
This is his righteousness, this is his selfishness.
So he stayed on the ship heading for death and refused to leave. He had already planned the meaning of death for himself.
