Chapter 143 Deadly fate
An unknown fire suddenly rose in Meng Qi's heart, and he almost walked over to ask about it. Zhen Hui, who had been staring at the kitchen, also turned back to look at Gu Changqing with a look of pity and concern.
No harm to the family, no harm to the family... Perhaps because he was born in a relatively stable country in his previous life, Meng Qi only had a weak and empty impression of the massacre and the harm to his family, and had no empathetic experience. After all, it had not happened around him, so before Hearing that his master's family was killed, he also killed the other party's family in revenge. It was more sympathy and speculation. But now, although Gu Changqing's family is not his family, this matter happened because of him, and the feeling is completely different. !
Anger burned in his chest, and he wished he could defeat this group of ruthless horse bandits, and he could not wait to cut the culprit into pieces.
After taking a few deep breaths, Meng Qi patted Gu Changqing's shoulder: "Changqing, don't be sad yet, maybe it's a rumor."
Gu Changqing thought smart, with a bit of flinch in his expression, and forced a smile: "Yes, it may be a rumor. Although my Gujia Fort does not have any outdoor scenes, it is still a powerful family. How can I not protect the people in the fort? And, and There is also Shen Duliao. He and Zeroju have always been at odds with each other. How could he let Zeroju act under his subordinates..."
He spoke a lot in one breath and made many excuses to prove that what he just heard was a rumor.
In his excitement, he did not use voice transmission to enter the secret. Fortunately, the location was remote, and the others were talking to each other, so no one noticed. However, even if someone noticed, Meng Qi was not afraid. After listening to what the few people discussed just now, it seemed that King Kong Temple had just surrendered. Master and others should still be in Bomi and other places and have not yet returned to Shaolin. At this time, the well-known horse bandits were either hiding tightly or guarding the camp. No one could threaten them.
"Hey, the Gu family is a big family, how come 'Evil Scholar' Kang just handed over the clan members when he sent a letter? Who would be willing to follow such a family in the future?" The wealthy businessman who just spoke sighed, he was also a member of the inheritance Coming from many generations of the family, they despise and are puzzled by the Gu family's actions.
Hearing these words, Gu Changqing leaned back suddenly, as if he almost fainted and fell to the ground. His expression was sad and confused, his eyes were hollow and flinching, and there was a vague burning flame.
The person who spoke to the wealthy businessman was a Sha Ke, who was quite well-informed. He sighed: "But it was the boy from the Gu family who did something wrong. If he got together with the Snow Mountain Sect and others, and killed the horse bandits under Luo Ju, who would What can you say to him? Shen Duliao will only be happy to see the results and protect Gujiabao better."
"However, he actually colluded with the monks from the Central Plains and killed two nine-aperture masters in Hanhai. This is one of the things that the great Asura hates the most. Even though he is an earthly god and will not care about ants, how can he risk his body's poison? Maybe he helped Gu Jiapu because of the bad impression in his mind? Hey, if he didn't have this relationship, he would have come to kill his whole family long ago. "
"Therefore, the 'evil scholar' Kang Zhi sent two letters through the white-headed bird, one to Shendu Liu and one to the head of the Gu family. The former took into account Shen Duliao's face and asked him to acquiesce to the matter. The request was not too excessive, and it did not destroy the Gu family. It only required the handover of Gu Changqing's immediate family members. Without the protection of Shen Du, and considering the revenge of Ze Luo Ju later, the head of the Gu family gave in. "
"This can be considered sensible, otherwise we will be wiped out by Zeluoju."
Although Gujiabao and Xieling are separated by more than half of the vast sea to the north and south, nearly a month is still enough for the white-headed bird to make two trips back and forth.
The wealthy businessman took a long breath and thought about his family. It seemed that he could only give up a few and take care of most of them. He looked frustrated and said: "Is there no heavenly law in this vast sea? Whoever is stronger can control others at will." life?"
"Haha, you have been doing business for many years and you still don't understand this truth? Fist is the truth, money and power are also the truth!" Shake laughed.
"It's better for me to enter the Jin Dynasty. After all, the aristocratic sects have to take pride in their actions and be reasonable on the surface." The wealthy businessman shook his head.
As for the evil gangs, there are aristocratic sects and other righteous gangs suppressing them, so they won't do anything that is too outrageous.
Listening to their words, Gu Changqing gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, with blood flowing out, as if his nails were embedded in his flesh.
"Did I make a mistake? Did I really make a mistake?" He raised his head, as if asking Meng Qi, but his eyes were empty, and he didn't know who he was looking at.
Meng Qi was also filled with sadness and anger. He took two deep breaths and tried to calm down: "No, you didn't do anything wrong. You just blame them for being too vicious and lawless."
Gu Changqing suddenly stood up, then forcibly sat down again, expressionlessly saying: "Junior Brother Zhending, please find a way to find out more about this matter."
His eyes were indifferent, with a heart-stopping calmness.
Meng Qi nodded, went out and walked around the street, found a young man, gave him a piece of silver, and asked him to go to a hotel and other places to inquire quietly.
After a while, Meng Qi returned to the inn. The table was filled with the roasted lamb legs and other meats he had ordered before, but they were all cold and not a single chopstick was touched. Even Zhenhui kept telling stories from Buddhist scriptures. Congratulate Gu Changqing, who "disdains" food.
"I'm afraid it's true." Meng Qi said with a serious face. He clenched the handle of the knife with his right hand, eager to draw the knife and kill the horse bandit immediately.
"How did my parents, brothers and sisters die?" Gu Changqing spoke for a few seconds, as if he didn't dare to know the answer.
Meng Qi looked around and said loudly: "Waiter, bring the food to the room."
This is not the place for in-depth discussions.
Gu Changqing stood up like a zombie and wandered to the guest room on the second floor.
Meng Qi closed the door and made sure there was no one around before saying: "My uncle and aunt knew the fate of being sent to Xieling, so in order to avoid the humiliation, they killed my younger brother and younger sister on the spot and committed suicide."
Gu Changqing stared at Meng Qi blankly, two lines of tears suddenly fell from the corners of his eyes, and he said with a tearful voice: "My father was born and died many times for the family, leaving behind the root of the disease. Every time it is cold and cold, he will feel pain all over the body and can't sleep all night. My mother He comes from a scholarly family and is well-educated. He never quarrels with them and just takes care of my father and us silently. My brother is only ten years old and has just started to gain strength. He is a strong little man. My sister is only a few years old and is lively and cute. Are they willing to run around with me? "
"Evergreen..." Meng Qi wanted to say something, but felt that all the comfort and words had no power in the face of such a tragedy.
Gu Changqing buried his head in his hands and cried bitterly: "I became enlightened when I was twenty years old, and I am considered a good person in the clan. My father has high hopes for me, but I have caused them trouble..."
He suddenly raised his head and looked at Meng Qi, with tears on his face: "Is it really wrong to act chivalrously? How can you be a hero if you can't even protect your own family?"
There was deep confusion and self-denial in his voice.
Meng Qi looked at Gu Changqing sincerely: "This happened because of me. Even if it is wrong, it is still my fault. Moreover, I don't think there is anything wrong with being a chivalrous person. The only fault is that we are not more cunning and ruthless than the bad guys." , If you want to be a hero, you have to be more thoughtful than the horse bandits, and you have to kill them all without leaving any consequences. "
He is also reflecting on some of his previous actions. Eliminating evil is definitely not an empty talk.
"Is that so?" Gu Changqing asked with hesitation.
"Don't you want revenge?" Meng Qi asked deliberately in order to let Gu Changqing get over his self-blame as soon as possible.
Gu Changqing stood up in a flash, with unspeakable hatred "burning" in his eyes: "Think! I can't wait to kill the evil scholar now, kill him as the culprit! I can't wait to have the patriarch kneel in front of me! Now! The hatred is irreconcilable!”
His whole person seemed to come alive.
Meng Qi nodded and said seriously: "You have to understand that only by mastering the power can you help us take revenge and help us uphold justice."
"Yes, and I have figured out a truth. For bad people, reform is of no use. Only by letting them know that if they do bad things, they will have to pay ten times or even more, will they restrain themselves." Gu Changqing said bitterly. said.
Meng Qi did not refute. This was also part of his opinion. The correct way is to have both probation and punishment at the same time. Small crimes can be punished with probation and light punishment. Only severe punishment can deter those who are completely unscrupulous. Man, the influence at this time is weak and useless.
He pointed to the food on the table and said calmly: "Since we want to take revenge, we have to replenish our physical strength."
"Then what?" Gu Changqing looked forward to Meng Qi's arrangements.
Meng Qizheng suddenly pulled out the Red Sun Evil Suppressing Sword: "Then let's go to Evil Ridge!"
"What?" Although Gu Changqing wanted to take revenge, he had not thought about taking revenge now. His strength was still far behind!
"This matter started because of me, and I will help you get revenge even through fire and water. Moreover, now the leader of Xieling only has the evil scholar with the fourth orifice and two masters with the seventh orifice, and the rest are only horse bandits with the sixth orifice or below. Although there are many people, but It’s not without a chance, at least better than when Zeluoju or other leaders return.” Meng Qi said in a deep voice, “Only if the horse bandits know that they can’t escape the consequences even if they are in Xieling, they will do less bad things.”
He never thought about asking his master and other elders for help, because under normal circumstances, they would not commit murder. At most, they would take the evil scholar back to Shaolin, suppress him in the back mountain, and chant sutras to inspire him.
"Yes, the evil scholar certainly never thought that we would dare to attack Evil Ridge directly!" Gu Changqing said with a ferocious expression on his face.
Meng Qijie pointed his sword in the direction of Xieling and said in a cold voice: "It's dangerous to go here, but I'm not afraid. I just want to kill the evil scholar and take his head. I just want to set fire to this evil camp and burn it down. What about you?" "
"I'm not afraid of death, so what else am I afraid of?" Gu Changqing's face was pale, but there seemed to be flames burning in his eyes.
"Senior brother, I want to go too! Brother Gu's family died trying to save me." Zhenhui was rarely solemn.
Meng Qi thought for a while: "You are secretly responsible for setting the fire. Don't conflict head on."
"Yes." Zhenhui nodded heavily.
Meng Qi sheathed his sword and sat down directly: "Then let's eat. After eating, we can level the evil mountain!"
