Fu Canglu

Chapter 144 Choice
Zuo Shisan's Hou Mansion was unexpectedly deserted.

The white-robed old fox silently looked at the woman in Dakaihou's Mansion.

Yi Xiao followed behind the old fox in white robe all the way, and now he saw Zuo Shisan's cold and desolate mansion, and then saw the woman in white.

Shu Fen.

His Highness suddenly had a premonition that things tonight would not be as simple as imagined. This woman who could open the door calmly would say at least one or two shocking words.

Because the old fox in white robe gave her enough time.

The purpose is to get a satisfactory answer.

She had to give an explanation that could convince the white-robed man and herself.

Su Hongyue's strange death will come to an end here.

The woman in black has given an explanation.

Yi Xiao squinted her eyes, first subconsciously looked around Zuo Shisanhou's mansion, confirmed everything she saw, then made sure that she was right, and finally shifted her gaze to the old fox in white robe.

The man was expressionless.

He held the red coffin above his head, and the old fox in white robe asked condescendingly, "Shu girl, is this the explanation you gave?"

Shu Fen nodded calmly, then slowly lowered her head.

34 corpses.

This woman in white was neatly placed behind the threshold of Zuo Shisanhou's Mansion.

34 lives were lost in Zuo Shisanhou's mansion.

Liu Chan in the white robe smiled instead of anger, and the white robe moved suddenly.

Shu Fen's pupils shrank slightly, and her ears buzzed.

A big red coffin turned into a shadow passing by, shot into the back hall in an instant, and collapsed the main hall of the Hou Mansion in an instant.

The woman in black was pale and haggard.

"You were only nine years old when Su Hongyue picked you up." The white-robed old fox said calmly, "She has raised you for 13 years. Without her, you would not be where you are today."

Shu Fen whispered: "Yes."

"Tiansulou gave you a second life, so you were born as a Tiansulou person and died as a Tiansulou ghost." The white-robed old fox looked at the woman.

Shu Fen's tone remained calm: "Yes."

The man in the loose white robe dancing wildly in the wind said in a low voice: "So I'll just ask you once, Su Hongyue. Did you kill me?"

Shu Feng smiled softly.

She reached out a hand to run through her hair.

Then he opened his mouth like a sigh.

"Yes."

Yi Xiao looked at this woman with a face as calm as water.

He couldn't figure it out, the old fox in white robe gave her the whole night.

Her final answer was just three yes words that were crisp to the extreme.

"Shu girl, you should know what you have done." Liu Chanqi looked at the woman in plain clothes, and said lightly: "I told Su Hongyue a long time ago that when she was nine years old, she planned to go to the officialdom of the Northern Wei Dynasty. How can the close girl, an orphan who was born in the cold and endured the cold and wants to embark on the path of cultivation, have no story or background?"

"You came in the first month when Tiansulou was established in Luoyang." The white-robed old fox said flatly: "The purpose is too strong, how can people not be suspicious? Any chess player who is strong enough to play The chess pieces buried during Jie's time should be silent. But you just came so unscrupulously, which is fair enough."

"That's why I recognized you, girl Shu. For the past 13 years, I have allowed you to live the life you want in Tiansu Tower. You can climb up step by step towards your goal, to the top that Tiansu Tower can give you, and finally Leaving the court and entering the Marquis' Mansion, you will become the most powerful group of women in Luoyang, not comparable to those in the palace, but you are free enough."

"I've always been curious about what you'll grab when your hands are long enough." The white-robed old fox said with a gloomy expression, "Even if you drag those people from Luoyang Palace into the water, I won't intervene. Behind Tiansu Tower, as long as Su Hongyue says a word, no one can do anything to you."

The white-robed old fox smiled sarcastically: "You want to be rich, powerful, and stand at the top of the world. Tiansulou can satisfy you. But you just didn't do it."

Shu Fen silently listened to the man in white robe.

He said coldly, "Who is the chess player behind you?"

The woman shook her head.

"Shu Feng, it's not easy for you to practice." Liu Chanqi said indifferently: "You tell that person's name, and I will spare your life. With your current eighth-rank cultivation, it is not impossible to escape from Luoyang, Zuo Shisanhou The 34 lives of the government can be counted on me."

Shu Feng glanced at the white-robed man, then at Yi Xiao, and then said with a smile, "Liu Baichan, what you said is very good. Without Aunt Su, without Tiansu Tower, I would not be where I am today."

"Auntie Su gave me the method of cultivation and pointed me to a way to climb up." Shu Feng shook her head and said, "She has treated me as much as a mountain, but I have nothing to repay in this life."

The white-robed old fox sneered.

"Indeed. I'm just a pawn." The pale woman laughed at herself and said, "My fate was already doomed when I entered Tiansu Tower 13 years ago. The fate of a pawn, Of course, you can only sacrifice yourself.”

"A humble piece on the chessboard, what can it do? Even if the chess player cruelly destroys the entire chessboard, it can only be said that the life of this piece has come to an end."

"Liu Baichan, what you said is not bad at all." Shu Feng smiled softly: "I want to be rich, I want to have power, and I want to stand at the top of Luoyang. Because I have never had one in my life, so I fought for it." I want to hold it in my hand."

Then her smile began to fade: "I'm just a pawn. Maybe today, maybe tomorrow, as long as that person says a word, you can no longer live the life you want. So I Desperately, I just want to make my short life less ugly, do you think it is explicit, despicable, or ridiculous?"

She slowly took off her hairpin, held it in her mouth, and her black hair fell loose.

The two inch knives around her waist were slowly drawn out by the woman, pointing straight at the slovenly man in white robes, the two short knives had extremely smooth blades, cool as water under the moonlight.

The white-robed old fox silently looked at the woman and shook his head.

Yi Xiao sighed, and drew out the Fuqu sword from his waist.

There was a sound of earth and rock cracking in the field, and the woman in plain clothes instantly exerted strength, and a spider web burst out from the sole of her feet.

Then the blades of the two long knives overlapped, and a strange long sword slammed against the blades.

Yi Xiao withdrew Fu Qu's sword blankly, and the sword bent and rebounded in an instant, pulling a thousand catties in four or two.

Shu Fen let out a muffled snort, and the two short knives turned into stabs.

Yi Xiao's pupils shrank slightly.

A golden lotus blooms in the heart of the pupil.

This woman's power can't reach the eighth rank, but Xiu Yuan has justifiably reached the eighth rank. Under Wu Liantong's analysis, the power of the two short knives is extremely entangled, and it will hurt if touched.

The physique forged by Di Tianlu fully demonstrated its strength at this moment, the little highness pressed Fu Qu under his arm with a backhand, and the blade turned over.

Fu Que's sword edge drew a soul-stirring curve in the dark night.

The sound of the tips of the two short knives flying was extremely ear-piercing.

This famous Fengting sword slashed the Cun Dao horizontally with extreme viciousness.

Then the figure of the woman in white spun around, and her black hair spread out in an instant.

Among the black hair all over the sky, a poisonous jade hairpin passed by in an instant.

Yi Xiao's pupils shrank slightly.

The instinctive body protection reaction of the dragon and snake phase was activated, and the left and right pupils suddenly turned into pure black and white.

Then the left hand that was not holding the sword was raised forcefully, and the two white jade-like fingers were as tough as gold and iron.

Very harsh friction sound.

Yi Xiao looked pale and looked at the hosta which was only a foot away from her.

He lowered his head slowly, looking at the two short knives that were sent into his shoulders, but lost their sharp tips, and were easily resisted by his strong body.

The woman in plain clothes had disheveled hair, and slowly raised her head with extremely resentful eyes.

"Tell me, do I have a choice?"

Shu Fen smiled to herself: "I have no choice."

Yi Xiao looked at the woman who kept her posture still, and felt that the two knives were surprisingly weak, and that she had not cultivated her body to such an extent. A blow of the eighth rank, even a short knife, should at least pierce the skin.

The woman's breath suddenly weakened.

"Liu Baichan."

Shu Fen let go of the two short knives that lost their tips, and stumbled back two steps, without raising her head, she just said softly: "He told me that the world is a big chessboard, and everyone is just a chess piece. "

"Everyone is a pawn, where is there a choice?"

"You who want to save people by smashing the remains of Buddhas of the Six Paths, do you have a choice?"

"Is there any choice for Prince Qiliang who came to Luoyang from the north?"

"Is there any choice?" Shu Fen raised her head, her eyes blurred.

The corners of her lips were shockingly purple, and scarlet blood slowly flowed out.

Seven orifices bleeding.

She tried to bite the tip of her tongue, trying to stay awake, but found that her entire mouth was numb.

vaguely.

She seemed to hear the ethereal voice of the boy in black.

"That person is right, this Jianghu is a big chessboard."

Yi Xiao looked sadly at the woman who had taken poison early, and said softly: "But everyone is a unique chess player on their own chessboard."

"The chess pieces of this river and lake have always been in your hands."

"No one has the right to interfere with your life or your death."

"You said you had no choice."

Yi Xiao said with a complicated expression: "Have you ever thought about choosing by yourself?"

Shu Fen's eyes were a little sluggish.

But she clearly heard the words of the boy in black.

She suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Turn around.

The white-clothed woman's plain clothes were already red, and her eyes suddenly became loose.

"I have some regrets"

Her eyes were red, and two lines of blood and tears flowed slowly from her cheeks.

The white-robed old fox watched the blood-stained plain-clothed woman fall to the ground.

Two inch knives fell to the ground.

Shu Fen opened her eyes, looking at Da Hongyue'er.

"Shu girl." The white-robed old fox said softly, "You have been taking medicine for Su Hongyue for 13 years, so you know she doesn't have tuberculosis at all."

Shu Feng opened her eyes wide.

"She just has a simple heart ailment, just a minor illness." Liu Chanqi said softly, "But you have been catching Huanxin San for her for 13 years, strengthening her heart, and a minor ailment can become a serious illness."

The woman in plain clothes had her throat choked up and couldn't speak.

Shu Fen struggled to pinch her throat, trying to squeeze out a word or two.

Just in vain.

In just ten breaths, her eyesight had completely faded away.

This powerful woman has worked for Su Hongyue for 13 years, step by step from a lonely girl to the status of the wife of the Marquis of Luoyang.

Some words were left unsaid after all.

The 34 lives in Zuo Shisan Houhou's mansion, together with the death of this woman, declared that all the clues ended here.

The identities of chess pieces and chess players are not reversed.

The old fox in white robe raised his head in silence.

There is still some time until dawn.

He spoke suddenly.

"You said you had no choice."

"But Su Hongyue has already made a choice for you."
