Chapter 29: Villain

When Zhou Shao heard this, he was not moved at all: “What choice?”

Li Chaoge wiped the dust off the edge of his sleeves, with his hands behind his back, and said: “Life is only a few decades in the world, life is involuntary, and death is involuntary, but how to live is in his own hands. I heard that Zhou Da was born with supernatural powers. , Just a pair of bare-handed fists can kill the tiger, and he was also a famous figure on the road. I was in the court and the master was in the field. Although the positions are different, I still respect the master in my own heart. It is a pity that now the master is a person. Dang goes to jail, and the next step is a prisoner. If you die silently like this, you will always feel useless.”

Zhou Shao sneered, and said, “What do you want to say is straightforward, it’s useless for me to use radical methods.”

“The big boss is refreshed.” Li Chaoge turned around, looking through the fence and darkness, and fell straight on Zhou Shao, “How about a deal between me and the boss of Zhou Da? I let you go out and you do things for me. As long as you listen to me It’s not difficult for the government’s command to eliminate merits, exempt the death penalty, and even restore freedom in the future.”

After talking for so long, I finally got to the point. Zhou Shao laughed disdainfully, and asked: “The court is rich in the world and can come out in large numbers. Can you still lack me as a thug?”

“There is no shortage of warriors in the army, but there are few people like the master of Zhou Da who can pull mountains and crush stones with fists.” Li Chaoge’s side face was half hidden in the dark, half reflected in the light, his eyes dark and calm. Looking straight at Zhou Shao, he said, “There are monsters in the place I’m going. It’s very dangerous. Ordinary people can only die. Ordinary soldiers can’t do it, but you can.”

Zhou Shao understood, and asked, “That is to say, this place is very dangerous. Will you die if you go?”

“Yes.”

“Then what will happen if I don’t go?”

“The sin is unforgivable, ask the behead after Autumn.”

Zhou Shaoyao snorted and said, “Going is death, and not going is death. The same is death, why should I listen to your arrangements? You politicians each have a human face and a ghostly heart. What you say?, I can say a word. Do not believe.”

Zhou Shao used to be gangsters, and like the people of the rivers and lakes, he was born with a hatred of the government and refused to accept Li Chaoge’s solicitation at all. Li Chaoge sighed slightly. She originally wanted to speak up, but unfortunately they always didn’t listen. She must be true to her. Li Chaoge lowered his head, gently flattened the folds on the cuffs, and suddenly said, “You are not afraid of death, what about your wife?”

Zhou Shao paused, he turned his head abruptly, a murderous look in his eyes for a moment: “What did you do to her?”

“I didn’t do anything. The one who is frivolous is the son of Jinzhou provincial governor, and? It’s not me, what can I do to her?” Li Chaoge put down his hands and walked slowly in front of the fence, looking directly into Zhou Shao’s eyes. “Do you think she is really safe if you send her back to her natal home? You wash your hands for her golden basin, bury her own past, and then? You kill again and go to jail for her again. She was all caught while you were alive. The land ruffians are entangled. If you die, can she really escape? You are the son of the Jinju governor, but one of the parents is not talking about it. If the governor wants revenge, there are ways to embarrass her.”

Zhou Shao stared at Li Chaoge motionlessly, and Li Chaoge looked back calmly. Zhou Shao suddenly got into trouble and rushed towards Li Chaoge with a punch. With too much strength, he pulled down the walls where the chains were fixed, and dust splashed with gravel. Standing outside the wooden fence, Li Chaoge didn’t move from beginning to end, except when Zhou Shao’s fist struck, she held the sword horizontally in front of her, and steadily caught Zhou Shao’s fist.

The fist slammed into the scabbard, and there was a muffled noise. Zhou Shao straightened his fist and did not move, Li Chaoge held the scabbard, and did not shift. The jailer outside was startled when he heard the movement, and ran over in a panic: “What’s the matter, that fanatic? Is he crazy again? Princess Anding, how are you?”

Li Chaoge fixed his eyes on Zhou Shao, without turning his head back, and said lightly: “I’m inside. There is nothing wrong here, you can go out.”

The sound of footsteps outside gradually became dense, and everyone wandered at the door, seeming to be unsure whether they should go in or not. Li Chaoge and Zhou Shao looked at each other. The two of them seemed to be still, but the blue veins on Zhou Shao’s fist kept rising high, and the line on Li Chaoge’s forearm was always tight.

The jailers discussed for a while, and finally the fear of being held accountable by the Holy Queen overwhelmed the fear of the dungeon. They hugged each other, carrying the lamp, and walked down tremblingly: “Princess Anding, where are you?”

The lights gradually lit up in the dungeon, and the sound of footsteps approached here. Before the jailers turned the corner, Zhou Shao closed his fists and Li Chaoge also put down his sword.

The jailers held the Tuan and walked into the straight. They finally saw Li Chaoge and a mess in the prison.

The wall of the dungeon was pulled down by a hole, and the prison was full of dust and rubble. The most feared villain stood in the dust, breathing heavily, and the iron chain rattles with his movements. But the slender, beautiful, and charming princess stood not far away in time. Except for a little dust on the clothes, there is nothing wrong with anything else.

This scene was so abnormal that the jailers were all bewildered. They were shocked for a long while and couldn’t say anything: “Princess, what’s the matter?”

“It’s okay, it’s just that the foundation of your prison is not strong enough, and it will be broken if you just pull it. Dali Temple has a reputation, but it seems that the quality is not very good.”

This is a death row built in the ground without seeing the sky all year round. It is claimed that the gods can’t get out alive even if they come in. Princess Anding actually said that the quality is not good? The jailers didn’t answer the question for a while, Nane said: “It was the negligence of the humble duty. The princess was not hit by a stone? Fortunately, the princess was fine.

“No need.” Li Chaoge raised his hand slightly and said indifferently, “His cell does not need to be repaired. After that, he will be under my control.”

The jailers were taken aback for a while, and they all asked, “What?”

“Open the lock, I will take him away.”

·

At three o’clock in the morning, the drums of the curfew sounded on time, Jin Wu knocked on the gong, and shouted in the street: “Curfew, go home immediately, close the gate, no one can pass!”

The scattered people on the street sprinted hurriedly, hurried home before the closed doors were over. If you are still on the street after the drums are over, you will be guilty of nights, and you will have to hit twenty boards.

Besides, in addition to the curfew, there have been monsters in Dongdu recently, and who would dare to stay on the road when it’s dark. In a moment, Luoyang Street was already empty, only patrolling soldiers passed by, spears hitting the armor, making a cold crashing sound.

A team of executive Jin Wu walked along the road, vigilantly checking the surroundings. They looked around and saw that there was no one around, and said, “Go over there and take a look. There are a lot of people in North City, so don’t let anyone fool you.”

“Yes.”

Holding Jin Wu clanking away, Bai Qianhe lay on the tree, spitting out the leaves in his mouth boredly: “I’m bored. I’ve been tricked by her, it’s been so long, let alone people, even a ghost. nothing.”

Bai Qianhe sat up and looked at the time. At five o’clock in the morning, it was the appointed time. Bai Qianhe felt quite boring. He was about to jump out of the tree and run away. He suddenly condensed his eyes and saw a purple figure turning at the end of the street. Seeing that he was a woman with a sword in his hand, it was Li Chaoge.

Bai Qianhe jumped off the tree with a squeak, silently landed in front of the south gate, raised his eyebrows and said: “Yo, Princess Anding, long time no see.”

Li Chaoge nodded slightly and said, “There was an accident on the road. It was a bit later than expected, but the time should be just right. What I told you last time? How are you thinking about it?”

Bai Qianhe raised his eyebrows and did not answer. He glanced over Li Chaoge and said with a smile: “Princess, if I remember correctly, the palace gate will be locked at night. At this point, Luoyang City has a curfew, I am afraid the palace will be closed long ago. It is quiet at night, and the princess is not there for you. The imperial palace is waiting, why do you come to Beishi to hang around?”

Li Chaoge smiled, and said lightly: “You know a lot about the palace, you even know when to lock the door.”

Bai Qianhe is modest: “I have won awards, I have done this after all. Princess, you haven’t said yet, what are you doing here?”

Li Chaoge looked around and said softly, “Wait for someone.”

Waiting for someone? Bai Qianhe raised his eyebrows and became more curious: “Who are you waiting for?”

Li Chaoge didn’t answer, her gaze fell to the other side, and she motioned with her eyes: “He’s coming.”

Bai Qianhe turned his head and saw a figure walking slowly in the dark street. He is tall, with broad shoulders, and particularly strong arms, and his muscle lines can be seen from such a distance. Bai Qianhe, as a person in the world, was used to seeing big men, and he couldn’t help getting tense at this moment.

Just looking at it makes people feel oppressive. This person fisted down, that was remarkable.

Li Chaoge nodded to Zhou Shao and said, “You are here, this is Bai Qianhe, and we will act with us later. Bai Qianhe, this is Zhou Shao.”

Li Chaoge had just taken Zhou Shao out of his prison. His original clothes were in tatters and were not suitable for street action. So Li Chaoge found him short-length clothes and asked him to find a place to change them. Then he came to the South Gate of Beishi City. She rendezvous.

Li Chaoge didn’t worry about Zhou Shao’s escape at all. He was a well-known figure on the road, so he wouldn’t do this kind of thing? Moreover, even if Zhou Shao could run, his wife Xun Siyu could not run.

Li Chaoge knew that Zhou Shao had seen it in the Record of Strange Tales in the 22nd Year of Yonghui when he was looking through the dossiers in his previous life. At that time Zhou Shao was already dead, but it was recorded in the record that Zhou Shao didn’t know what he saw when he was executed, and suddenly broke free from the shackles, wounded dozens of soldiers, and insisted on rushing out. The Shenwu Army came quickly, and after warning to no avail, the Shenwu Army ordered the arrows to be released, and Zhou Shao was pierced to death by the arrows. The once powerful bandit leader died in the East Capital Execution Ground in such a haste and embarrassment.

Li Chaoge later visited and learned that Zhou Shao suddenly went crazy that day because his wife Xun Siyu had arrived. Xun Siyu learned of his news somehow, and rushed to the execution ground all the way. Zhou Shao probably wanted to say a word to Xun Siyu in the end, but unfortunately, this sentence was not completed after all. He was shot and killed by the court army in front of Xun Siyu. Not long after that, Xun Siyu also died in depression.

Li Chaoge was quite embarrassed at the time. Because of this incident, she also deliberately checked Zhou Shao’s imprisonment and learned that he was sentenced to beheading because he killed the son of a court official. Since ancient times, people have to sue officials for heavy punishment, not to mention that he directly killed the official’s son. Therefore, Zhou Shao was sentenced to death without any suspense.

However, he murdered because that official child had dirty hands and feet. He molested his wife several times. Later, he sent someone to stun Xun Siyu with the intention of getting involved. If Zhou Shao hadn’t come back in time, I couldn’t imagine what would happen.

Zhou Shao settled down with Xun Siyu, and wrote a letter to Xun Siyu. After sending it back to her family’s home, he picked up the dusty knife again, broke into the restaurant, and killed the son of the governor alive. Then again, it’s the things recorded in the file.

Li Chaoge regretted this man in his previous life. When Zhou Shao was reborn in this life, Zhou Shao hadn’t died yet, and Li Chaoge was also short of manpower, so he went to the monastery to pick up Zhou Shao.

Li Chaoge gave a brief introduction to Bai Qianhe and Zhou Shao. Bai Qianhe and Zhou Shao looked at each other, each with a vigilance in their hearts. After hearing each other’s name, both of them were surprised, stunned, and suspicious.

Surprise is for the person in front of him, suddenly for what to do next, and doubt is for Li Chaoge.

Although the two of them have never seen each other, they have heard of each other’s name. Li Chaoge did not hesitate to recover Zhou Shao, the homicide and repeat offender, and also brought in the notorious thief Bai Qianhe from the rivers and lakes. Her move was tantamount to trying to find a tiger’s skin and lure a wolf into the room. What does she want to do?

Li Chaoge gave a clear cough, and after attracting the attention of the two people, he said neatly: “The matter is urgent and there is no time for greetings. Let’s make a long story short and go straight to the topic. I am calling you here today because of something strange. Dong. Have you all heard of the monsters in the capital?”

Zhou Shao had no expression on his face. He just came out of the dungeon, not to mention monsters, even if he changed his dynasty, he didn’t know. Li Chaoge’s understanding? For Zhou Shao’s special situation, she turned her gaze to Bai Qianhe, but Bai Qianhe also shook her head at her unexpectedly.

Bai Qianhe even asked curiously: “Are there monsters?”

Li Chaoge frowned and glanced at Bai Qianhe suspiciously: “You haven’t been in Dongdu for the past few days, you don’t even know about such a big thing?”

Bai Qianhe spread his hands innocently: “I have been busy enjoying wine and beauties for the past half month. How can I find time to inquire about other things? What’s wrong with Luoyang?”

Li Chaoge was quite speechless when he thought that she had found Bai Qianhe in Beili. She sighed and said, “Just so, let’s talk together. This year’s spring season is about to begin, but in the past few days, a monster has appeared in Dongdu. ”

Li Chaoge said, glanced at Qianhe, and said, “Yes, it’s your weak and lascivious little white face.”

Bai Qianhe touched his face and said, “So, this is a female fairy?”

“I can’t say a fairy, it’s just a small charm.” Li Chaoge’s face was calm, his voice was not high, but his words were clear, his tone was determined, and he was full of uncompromising leadership. “The imperial examination is coming soon. Every student is national. Wealth cannot be lost. Our task is to kill this monster, stabilize people’s hearts, and ensure the smooth progress of the imperial examination. Do you have any questions?”

Zhou Shao didn’t speak, Bai Qianhe weakly raised his hand and asked, “I have. Why does it eat people’s brains?”

Li Chaoge said: “The heavens and the earth create all things, demons and ghosts, birds and beasts, all exist in the world, and good fortune people. Only human beings have spirits. Monsters and beasts have been practicing for many years to produce consciousness. However, if you want to truly become a spirit, you need to open up Spiritual wisdom. There are many ways to unlock spiritual wisdom. Most of the monsters are self-cultivation, but there are also some monsters with wrong minds who want to take shortcuts.”

Bai Qianhe showed some enlightenment, and Li Chaoge nodded and said, “Yes, it is eating people. The aura of the world concentrates on people, and the aura of people? Focuses on the brain. Scholars are talented and eat the brains of these people. , It can help them evolve quickly and unlock their wisdom as soon as possible.”

Bai Qianhe understood, and asked, “In other words, this demon will become smarter and more human-like?”

“Yes.” Li Chaoge nodded, “It has eaten the brains of five people, and its abilities have improved rapidly. A few days ago, it could only sneak up on the brains of two people at the same time, and one was a sneak attack and the other was a force attack. It has tasted the sweetness, and it will definitely not be willing to stop. Tonight, it will probably still act.”

Zhou Shao understood. He moved his wrists and said: “It’s just a demon. Just kill it. How can it be rampant? Where is it?”

“This is the problem.” Li Chaoge sighed slightly, and said, “I don’t know what its prototype is, but looking at the previous cases, it should be good at hiding and transforming monsters. It only acts in the middle of the night. , Especially good at disguising, not easy to catch. But correspondingly, monsters who are good at charm will not have high attack power, so as long as we find it, we have already succeeded in half.”

As Li Chaoge spoke, Bai Qianhe couldn’t help nodding his head, quite an eye-opener. He had only interacted with people from the rivers and lakes before, and he knew it after two highs and lows, and had never come into contact with these monsters. He was wondering when he suddenly realized that Li Chaoge was looking at him. Bai Qianhe raised his eyebrows, feeling inexplicably wrong: “Why do you look at me like this?”

Li Chaoge swept Bai Qianhe from top to bottom, and honestly? He commented: “Insufficient talent, wins with a small white face. It should be fine for a short time to pretend to be a scholar. Just you, you come as a bait, Zhou Shao ambushes, I support from a high place. If you encounter a monster, immediately warn me and I will come to rescue you.”

Bai Qianhe didn’t have time to object, and Li Chaoge had already decided, “Okay, that’s it. Let’s go to Luohe. The river is the best place to kill and hide corpses. It is easy to seduce monsters.”

Li Chaoge was about to leave as he said, Zhou Shao was dull and didn’t say anything to keep up. In the blink of an eye, only Bai Qianhe stood on the spot. Bai Qianhe panicked, and said quickly: “Wait, I didn’t say yes! Why did you even arrange the plan?”

Li Chaoge turned his head quickly, with a fierce look in his eyes, and viciously motioned Bai Qianhe to shut up. However, it was too late. Bai Qianhe’s voice attracted Zhi Jinwu, and soon there was the sound of horseshoes from the street: “Who is making noise here?”
