Xie Wei heard the two of them talking just now, thought it was reminiscing about the past, and didn't pay much attention to it, but when he heard this, he frowned instantly, and almost immediately realized that there was indeed a small flaw in Zhou Yinzhi's words.

He looked at Lu Xian.

Lu Xian also heard Jiang Xuening's words clearly just now, he was secretly startled, his expression was a bit solemn, he met Xie Wei's gaze, and said: "I'll ask someone to check it out immediately."

Xie Wei added: "Let someone secretly follow his whereabouts. Don't let this person leave Xinzhou until the matter is clarified."

Lu Xian said: "Yes."

Now Zhou Yinzhi's status in Jinyiwei is second to none, and he has been missing for more than half a month, and it is such a special time, there will be no small involvement. He didn't dare to delay, so he turned around and went to the bottom of the city tower, looking for someone to arrange various matters.

Jiang Xuening also felt terrified, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this matter was inappropriate, and she didn't know what Zhou Yinzhi's purpose was.

But it is better to leave this place earlier.

She didn't care about what to say, she turned around and wanted to leave.

Unexpectedly, Xie Wei's eyes were sharp and his hands were quick, he pulled her back, his eyes fell on her face, and he said: "You know the trivial things in the palace very well."

Jiang Xuening froze for a moment.

In the palace, there are tributes from various state capitals throughout the year and in various seasons, and the flow of water never stops. Let alone Xie Wei, who was mainly an official in the previous dynasty, even the eunuchs in charge of the treasury in the House of Internal Affairs may not be able to know the details. , You have to look through the book to be sure. But she just heard Zhou Yinzhi's gossip, and immediately realized the flaws in it, which was too perceptive. If you don't memorize it by heart, how can you be so meticulous?

She heard Zhou Yinzhi's weakness.

And Xie Wei heard her flaws.

Jiang Xuening was grabbed by his wrist, stood still, looked back at him, but did not panic, just said: "Mr. Xie forgot, the students have been secretly operating the salt farm for the past two years, but they have also been involved in tea, rice and silk cloth. Spring and Autumn in various places When the new tea is picked, how many cases are used as tribute, and what grade is left among the people, people naturally know. Yunnan is not far away in the southwest of Sichuan. I blame Zhou Yinzhi for his bad luck. I just know what he mentioned. "

Xie Wei was noncommittal, and didn't know whether he believed it or not, but said: "When we were in the capital, Zhou Yinzhi was originally your father's disciple, and later served you, so he can be regarded as your "old department". In fact, they don’t trust them, and they are even very wary.”

It's just "once bitten by a snake and afraid of well ropes for ten years".

Jiang Xuening could not forget the tragedy of her previous life.

If it weren't for the fact that no one was available at that time, she would never have had any interaction with this person, and would have stayed away from him, just like Xie Wei.

She said: "Because the acquaintance with Zhou Yinzhi is in the twilight of the old days, I know this person's nature. If a person's nature can be easily changed, it is not enough to be called a 'disposition'. A person with a cruel heart and a vicious nature will be indulged for a while. He is kind, and his fangs will inevitably be exposed in the future. Such people can be with them for a while, but they should not be with them all the time, for a long time, so they are on guard."

The words were clearly referring to Zhou Yinzhi, but Xie Wei felt that her words were implying something.

The expression on his face gradually cooled down.

He locked his eyes on her and asked her: "So in your eyes, I am like Zhou Yinzhi, making you afraid like a snake and a scorpion?"

Fear like a snake?

No matter how powerful Zhou Yinzhi was, he was only flattering and flattering, he was a duplicitous villain. But Xie Wei has a firm mind, bears a great hatred, endures ups and downs, endures humiliation, and once the court is bloodbathed, he will be above tens of thousands of people!

Such a hero, how can Zhou Yinzhi deserve to be compared with him?

If Zhou Yinzhi was just a snake and scorpion, Xie Wei would be the blazing sun in the sky.

It's okay to see from a distance, but it's heart-wrenching when you get close.

Once the burning sun falls from mid-air, it will no longer be the light that illuminates the world, but the terror that will destroy the world!

In her previous life, when she was under house arrest in the palace and was bullied, she had a soft hope for this person.

She thought she had saved him.

Even though they hadn't seen each other for a few years, she used to make jokes to make things difficult, but after all, they were all harmless and trivial matters. If you beg him, maybe you can see the old kindness of the blood-feeding medicine, and relieve her from the fire and water.

But nothing.

It wasn't until later that she heard You Fangyin's speculation in her previous life: it turned out that the son of the two Xiao Yan families in the previous dynasty was still alive. Perhaps it was none other than Xie Wei, the emperor who held the authority.

Xie Ju'an is Yan Lin's elder brother.

Then he turned a blind eye to all the abuse she suffered and stood by, why not?

Being in adversity does not necessarily make people despair; but if even the last sliver of hope is shattered, what should one do in the face of despair?

Although Jiang Xuening knows that this is a new life, and of course people from the two lives should not be equated, but how can the same person have different temperaments?

Xie Wei is that Xie Wei.

She never dared to have any more hopes for this man. Since he insisted on asking, she said all the words that she hadn't said yesterday: "Mr. It is the mud of the ground. The chicks don’t know the swans, and the summer insects can’t talk about ice. Mr. and I are in the sky and the earth, and they are not suitable. Ordinary people spend their lives only asking for the word 'safety', and please raise your hands high."

Raise your hand high.

Hearing her words, Xie Wei felt like being poured by cold water, even the blood that was boiling in his veins became cold.

It turns out that the sweetness is not much for a moment, but the pain is piercing.

Jiang Xuening didn't hear his answer, and even twitched the corners of her lips and smiled sarcastically: "If Mister can't let you go, how about I sleep with you for two years, and let me go when you get tired of it?"

If the words of Xiancai were just stabbing him with a knife, but the words at this moment are almost gouging his heart.

She deliberately provoked him with words like this.

His desire and affection all came from his heart, so he allowed her to be so contemptuous?

The hostility buried deep in his eyes finally surfaced, but Piansheng held his hand even tighter, and Xie Wei said word by word: "So it's my plan, its emotion and nature, which makes you afraid, bored, and want to escape? You So cowardly, so timid, you dare not even try it once, just deserting, like you and Zhang Zhe?"

He mentioned Zhang Zhe again.

This is not the first time.

Jiang Xuening was very displeased last time, but this time she was finally deeply irritated by him, maybe because he crossed the line and offended her, maybe because the meaning of his words hurt her.

She immediately erected sharp thorns all over her body, and refuted sharply: "There is a bottomless abyss in front of me, knowing that I will be smashed into pieces if I jump down, why do I still want to jump down?"

Xie Wei said, "How would you know if you don't dance?"

Jiang Xuening yelled: "You're only crazy to dance!"

Xie Wei sneered: "You don't understand yet, do you?"

Jiang Xuening only felt that the line of rationality was getting tighter and tighter, almost pulling her into a madness like him. Fear made her struggle and retreat: "Let go! What do I want to understand, what do I not understand ?!"

The corners of Xie Wei's eyes twitched slightly.

At this moment, I remembered what she once said "there is a gap in the vase", but felt that my heart was overturned like a river and sea, and I would not go down no matter what. Anger swept across, and he didn't let go of his hand. Instead of letting her go, he grabbed her and dragged her all the way to the other side of the tower.

Jiang Xuening couldn't help herself if she didn't want to leave, she just thought he was irrational: "What are you doing?"

Xie Wei didn't pay attention at all, and continued to move forward.

Outside the city wall is a wilderness company camp, but inside the city wall is the city's fireworks, traffickers and pawns.

She was dragged forward by Xie Wei, the two argued endlessly, but the soldiers passing by all turned a deaf ear and lowered their heads, not to mention no one dared to follow up to check.

Finally arrived at the east end of the tower.

Below is a shop that forges ironware.

There are several stoves, big and small, in the tile shed that was erected, burning coke inside. In the cold winter, the blacksmiths in short brown clothes, some even bare-chested, were striking the red-hot iron embryos vigorously with a hammer. The flying sparks, the red iron pieces, and even the topmost The molten iron slurry exudes amazing heat.

Xie Wei pointed down: "If you think you are a piece of porcelain, once it is broken, it cannot be healed. Jiang Xuening, who do you think you are, do you have the right to be that piece of porcelain? You and I are nothing but iron rolling in this oven. Pulp!"

He looked at Jiang Xuening with his jaw pinched.

Xie Wei's stern voice was sharp and cold, pouring into her ears like thunder: "I know your life experience; you know what happened to me. God didn't give you and me a chance to be weak and useless when we were born. You have to be tortured and hammered in all kinds of ways before you can be shaped! There are gaps in the plum vase that cannot be bridged, but if you were born to be only a piece of iron, you should know that you are not so fragile, but your bones have been broken. I have to go back into the furnace to bleed and endure humiliation, and be cast into a new look!"

Jiang Xuening's eyes suddenly filled with tears.

But Xie Wei held her tightly, still urging her word by word: "Who loves you, who respects you, and who needs you? People live in this world, you are not as good as I understand. If you want to be happy, how can you not feel pain?" Quick? You only want to be quick and avoid pain everywhere, what is the difference between you alive and those snakes, rats, rats and ants in the gutter?!"

Jiang Xuening seemed to be tortured by Ling Chi, and his skin was cut open by his words, exposing **** muscles and bones, trembling all over: "How many people like you are there in the world? I'm not you!"

He remained cold: "That's why a coward like you can't be with Zhang Zhe. Either he sees through you, or he is just as stupid as you!"

Her eyes were red: "Shut up!"

Xie Wei said, "Does it hurt?"

Jiang Xuening stepped back: "You just won't let me go!"

Xie Wei was riddled with holes by her resistance and fear, but the more he did this, the less he would show weakness, and the more he aroused his buried hostility: "You can escape as much as you want, and go to the ends of the earth."

She almost hoarse: "Could it be that you are crazy and want to drag others to be buried with you?!"

Xie Wei was extremely angry: "So what about being buried with you?"

Jiang Xuening suddenly felt that he was hopeless: "Xie Ju'an, things in this world can't be forced to have results, but to torture each other."

But Xie Wei refused to realize: "A bitter fruit is also a fruit!"

Bitter fruit is also fruit.

A good saying "bitter fruit is also fruit"!

Ever since she was trapped in the mountains by the snow last time, she has been aware of the darkness and hostility under the skin of a saint like Xie Wei, but she never imagined that his paranoia, madness, and terror have reached such a point.

The string of reason in my mind finally collapsed.

Jiang Xuening's thousands of emotions piled up in his heart, together with the respect and awe in this life, and the resentment and hatred in the previous life, all rushed out, unable to restrain himself!

It didn't even go through the mind.

At this moment, her eyes were red, and she asked him sharply: "What if you killed me?!"

The bitter cold wind blew on the city tower, and the high flags fluttered in the wind.

Xie Wei stood opposite her.

Jiang Xuening originally thought that she could bury a lot of things deeply, but the moment the words came out of her mouth, she actually felt a kind of despicable, almost revengeful pleasure, without even a trace of regret, as if she should have done so long ago.

Xie Wei stared at her in a daze for a moment, without saying a word.

He thought he should ask why first.

However, looking at her red eyes and the strong resentment, he didn't ask.

The madness not only did not dissipate from the depths of his eyes, but intensified even more.

Xie Wei pursed his lips tightly, buried his head in his wrist and untied the dagger he was carrying with him, and handed it to her!

He only said to her, "Come, kill me."

Jiang Xuening's fingers touched the handle of the knife, and the remaining inch of warmth on it could not drive away the coldness on her body.

All the emotions in his eyes suddenly faded away.

At that moment, she tightly grasped the knife he handed over, and actually stabbed him.

The sharp blade plunged into the flesh and blood that was close at hand.

Blood gushes out from the abdomen immediately.

Xie Wei's snow-white Taoist robe was smudged.

Jiang Xuening let go of her hand.

He was so painful that he almost curled up, but covered the wound with the knife, but still looked at her, reaching out his hand like a drowning person trying to grab a straw to keep her: "Ning Er..."

Jiang Xuening blinked, and tears rolled down her eyes: "Xie Ju'an, you are really pitiful."

Xie Wei failed to touch her after all.

As if she had a big dream, she even forgot to wipe away her tears, but turned around and walked down the tower.
