Chapter 168 I think I saw my cousin
When Hua Bei just arrived at Wushizhai, there was blood everywhere. His mind went blank and he ran towards Gu Lang's residence in a panic. As a result, he saw Meng Jingchen who had been stabbed and Gu Lang lying on the ground dying.
Xiao Mingli and Xiao Mingxu also hurried over at this time, and were stunned when they saw the corpses all over the ground.
"Meng Jingchen, you are really cruel and ruthless! You..."
Xiao Mingxu was about to open his mouth to accuse Meng Jingchen, but Meng Jingchen turned around with a cold expression on his face. Xiao Mingxu immediately saw the dagger on Meng Jingchen's chest, and his words stumbled for a moment.
"Are you...are you okay?"
Xiao Mingli pulled Xiao Mingxu away, his tone somewhat unfriendly.
"Mr. Meng, although these people are the remnants of the Duke of Zhenguo, isn't it inappropriate for you to kill them privately without reporting it?"
"Since they are rebels, why not kill them?"
There was a hint of disdain in Meng Jingchen's words.
"I'll just kill those rebels. Even if the emperor knew about this, he would only praise me for doing a good job. How many innocent lives were lost because of the Yun family's collaboration with the enemy? Don't you know?"
Xiao Mingli was speechless, but Gu Lang in Hua Bei's arms was indignant and said,
"The Yun family didn't commit treason! We were all wronged!"
Meng Jingchen raised his lips in a mocking smile.
"Oh, the evidence is solid. Moreover, Concubine Xian personally came out to identify her. She is a member of the Yun family! What can you quibble about?"
Gu Lang was so angry that he vomited blood, but Meng Jingchen was standing by and nagging him.
"Hand over the Feiyun Order, or I will let this kid die before you."
Xiao Mingxu and Xiao Mingli looked at each other. They didn't expect that Meng Jingchen's target was Feiyun Order. It seemed that the Meng family had quite a big ambition.
"What Feiyun Order? Wasn't it lost ten years ago? How come, with your Meng family's current ability to cover the sky with one hand, you can't even find a dead object?"
Gu Lang said sarcastically, but his voice was intermittent, and he was obviously out of strength. Hua Bei raised his head and stared at Meng Jingchen. One day, he would make this man pay the price!
"Noisy."
Meng Jingchen covered his wound with one hand, and with the other hand he pulled out the sword from Ziwen's waist and walked towards Gulang.
"If you don't want to say it, then don't ever say it."
Hua Bei wanted to stand in front of Gu Lang, but Gu Lang grabbed her wrist tightly.
"Abei, don't avenge me. Promise me that you will live happily."
Hua Bei's eyes were bloodshot, his hands clenched into fists, and the veins on his arms bulged. Meng Jingchen pointed the tip of the sword at Gu Lang,
"I'll ask one last time, where is the Feiyun Order?"
Gulang did not answer, but chose to close his eyes and wait for death quietly.
"You want to die? I won't let you die, but I can let this guy die for you first."
Xiao Mingxu turned away reluctantly. Xiao Mingli patted Xiao Mingxu's shoulder helplessly. There was no other way. The Meng family was extremely powerful. The two of them could not stop Meng Jingchen at all. Maybe the Meng family might even turn around and say that the Xiao family was in collusion with the old party of the Yun family.
"Wait! Spare his life!"
At this time, Jiang Tunan had a white cloth wrapped around his head and was rushing over quickly.
"Why...I think I saw my cousin."
Xiao Mingxu rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and Xiao Mingli was also a little stunned and said,
"I saw that too..."
"That's our cousin!"
After seeing Xiao Mingrui following behind Jiang Tunan, Xiao Mingxu was sure that he was not mistaken, and immediately went forward excitedly.
"cousin!"
Jiang Tunan simply greeted Xiao Mingxu and said,
"Wait a minute, he's in a hurry."
Xiao Mingli was about to speak when Jiang Tunan simply ignored him. He had to put down his hand awkwardly, and a trace of loneliness could not help showing in his eyes.
When Meng Jingchen saw Jiang Tunan, he was actually a little happy, but then he saw the bloody and terrifying scene around him and thought of his own body covered in blood, so he turned around in embarrassment.
It’s better not to let her see you like this.
Meng Jingchen suddenly smiled bitterly, wondering when he would care about other people's opinions.
"Mr. Meng, I'm talking about you. Why are you hiding?"
Meng Jingchen:?
Meng Jingchen did not turn around, but said with his back to Jiang Tunan,
"Miss Jiang, long time no see."
Meng Jingchen's voice was very cold, but only he knew that there was a hint of panic in his voice. Anyone who saw this bloodthirsty and murderous look would find it disgusting.
Jiang Tunan quietly approached Hua Bei and the other person, thinking about how to save them.
"Hey, Mr. Meng, I noticed that you look pretty good today."
Jiang Tunan was talking nonsense seriously, but Meng Jingchen suddenly turned his head to look at Jiang Tunan.
"Am I good-looking?"
Do you think you look good when you are covered in blood?
Jiang Tunan nodded absentmindedly in agreement.
“It’s so beautiful!”
Xiao Mingxu spoke with a shocked look on his face.
"Cousin, is this because she is attracted to Meng Jingchen?"
Xiao Mingrui's eyes darkened slightly. He walked to Jiang Tunan, held her wrist and said softly,
"What do you want to do?"
Gu Lang took this opportunity to tell Hua Bei,
"Ah Bei, if you still recognize me as your elder brother, can you promise me two things?"
Hua Bei knew what Gu Lang was going to say, and his eyes were full of stubbornness.
"I won't abandon you."
"Then... that means... ahem... you don't agree?"
Gu Lang vomited blood several times in a row. He was injured by Zi Wen just now and he couldn't hold on for much longer. Hua Bei couldn't bear to see Gu Lang was so badly injured, so he had to answer,
"I promise...I promise, but you have to be good."
Gulang was filled with helplessness.
"The first thing is to live well. The second thing is, if Miss Jiang wants to leave Kyoto, I hope you can take her away..."
Before Hua Bei understood why Gulang made the last request, he saw Gulang's eyes become fierce and he knocked Hua Bei unconscious with a knife.
The movements of Gu Lang and the others naturally attracted Meng Jingchen's attention, but before Meng Jingchen opened his mouth, Gu Lang took the initiative to say,
"I can tell you where the Feiyun Order is hidden, but whether you can find it depends on your own ability."
Gu Lang looked at Hua Bei lying on the ground, his eyes full of determination.
"But in exchange, you have to keep his life."
Jiang Tunan didn't know what the Feiyun Order was, but when he heard that Hua Bei's life could be saved, he quickly agreed.
"Mr. Meng, this is not a loss. You save some energy and kill one less person, and you can also get a useful piece of information in return."
Jiang Tunan wanted to get closer to Hua Bei, but was pulled back by Xiao Mingrui, who grabbed his wrist. Meng Jingchen's eyes were filled with unclear emotions.
"Why? Are you interested in this boy?"
