Chapter 1167 1167: Old events during the Kang Dynasty [Asking for monthly votes]
Gu Chi did not respond for a long while.
He thought he had a deep understanding of Kang Shi's title of Plague God, but he didn't expect that the other party could break the record. He had a headache and rubbed his forehead: "In other words, Weiheng has a narrow escape from death?"
Kang Shi moved his lips: "Maybe it's ten deaths but no life."
The tea cup in his hand could no longer hold up and broke into pieces.
The clear water in the cup flowed between his fingers and wet the hem of his clothes.
The wound was full of bleeding beads, which were diluted with water and turned into light pink.
Although Kang Shi's expression didn't change much and his voice was chaotic, Gu Chi was keenly aware of the melancholy and sorrow spreading around him. If Yu Zi really failed because of this matter, it would not be as simple as losing a colleague or half a student to Kang Shi.
“Kang Jishou!”
Gu Chi grabbed Kang Shi's uncontrollably shaking wrist.
A low drink cleared his mind instantly.
Kang Shi looked at his blood-covered palms and reacted with a slight gaffe. He activated his energy to stop the wound, then took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the blood clean. Time after time, the wounds were pulled outwards, exposing the flesh and blood inside. Gu Chi couldn't help but frown secretly and said in a low voice: "You also said that this is not what you want-"
In the past, when health was good, it was always a disaster to the Lord.
After so many years, the Lord is still alive and kicking.
Gu Chi was frightened at first, but as time went by, he became numb. Occasionally, he would watch the liveliness of the master jumping around and cursing Kang Shi, completely forgetting that Kang Shi could really kill people. The person whose life was hanging by a thread was Yu Weiheng, a colleague.
If Yu Zi really died, Kang Shi's future would also be in doubt.
Kang Shi crumpled the **** handkerchief into a crumpled ball and covered his face with his hands, trying to prevent others from noticing his true emotions.
“Kang Jishou, are you—”
Gu Chi had a bold guess in his mind.
Seeing that Kang Shi's back was obviously stiff, which seemed to confirm his guess, his face became a little ugly: "But you-"
Kang Shi gritted his teeth and said, "She will definitely be fine!"
He put down his hands, revealing his eyes covered with tired red threads.
He seemed to be talking to Gu Chi, and seemed to be warning himself: "I will not let the old things happen again, let alone let her be like my father's second brother... no matter what the price..."
Gu Chi was startled: "What father and second brother?"
How come Kang Jishou's father and brother are involved in this matter?
Obviously, this question is taboo.
Kang Shi’s eyes were sharp and he forced Gu Chi to retreat with the remaining questions he wanted to ask. Realizing that Kang Shi's aura had changed, Gu Chi changed the subject: "We are colleagues with her, and if possible, we naturally don't want to see anything happen to her. However, in her situation, outside intervention is not possible. Even if we could, Most likely it will be a disservice..."
Others can help, and it may be a positive benefit.
Change to Kang and go help?
Yu Zi will most likely die faster.
Kang Shi said: "There must be a way."
It just depends on whether you are willing to pay the price.
If Yu Zi can successfully pass the completion ceremony, everyone will be happy. If not, he can only prepare for the worst.
After finishing the stick of incense, Yu Zi fell forward with all her strength.
The voice was vague: "Untie it for me."
Kang Shi tried the Yanling, and remembered that all the Yanlings he had imposed to imprison him were destroyed, and now Gu Chi had come to make up for them. Gu Chi made a secret to untie Yan Ling, stepped forward and knelt down, and handed Yu Zi water while using her strength to help her up.
"How do you feel now?"
"Oh, I'm still alive." Forcibly breaking through the [Speech Suppression and Seizing the Voice] was very painful for her throat. Yu Zi's voice was rough and unpleasant, and she struggled to speak. She looked like she had just been fished out of the water, and she was sweating profusely. She drank the tea cup greedily and said, "Two more times and I won't have much time to wake up. If I can't wake up, Kang, I'll give you this future!"
Gu Chi was keenly aware of the huge amount of information in these words.
"What's the meaning?"
"Why, he didn't tell you?" As soon as Gu Chi was about to answer, Yu Zi waved her hand and said, "Forget it, it's okay if he doesn't tell you."
Gu Chi: “…”
Yu Zi covered her neck and coughed twice.
“Where is my uncle?”
No matter what, always let the elderly see you.
Kang Shi said: "It's just in time."
Yu Zi chuckled: "You'd better stop talking."
If the God of Plague speaks, maybe those who could catch up will not be able to catch up. Hearing Yu Zi's voiceover, Kang Shi's face was not revealed, and the hands hanging in his sleeves had already been clenched into fists, and the knuckles were white.
Yu Zi looked at him sideways and said to Gu Chi: "Gu Yushi, if Kang Jishou says that he will pay the price to save my life...he can just say it. If he does it impulsively, remember to knock him out and let him think. Just calm down."
Gu Chi said: "Don't say such depressing words for now."
It is possible to complete a successful ceremony no matter how difficult it is.
Now that you have destroyed your prestige and lost your morale, you will not be able to survive even if you can. Gu Chi didn't understand the situation, so he could only find reinforcements, such as the Lord. As soon as she walked out of the camp, Gu Chi remembered that her master had told her about this. She was obviously an insider and would have taken action if she had the means. Gu Chi had no choice but to go back home.
On the way, I met a man who looked somewhat similar to Kang Shi. He was the head of the Kang family, Kang Shi's elder brother, Kang Bosui.
Why did Kangnian appear here?
Kang has been cautious in recent years and has a weak sense of presence.
Although he and Kang Shi were brothers, they only interacted with each other politely during the New Year and festivals. Kang Nian focused on the family business - this is the news found by Yushitai. As for whether the brothers met in private, Gu Chi didn't know. He was keenly aware that Kang Nian was in a hurry and was full of travels. He must have just arrived.
Why are you in such a hurry?
Gu Chi subconsciously thought about Yu Zi.
He called out to the other party: "Brother Bo Sui."
Kangnian paused and bowed to Gu Chi.
He was about to say a few perfunctory words and leave, but Gu Chi pulled his sleeves and walked to the side. The smile on Kangnian's face was so stiff that he couldn't hold on, and he couldn't shake Gu Chi away and left, so he could only ask patiently: "What advice does Gu Yushi have to ask Kang?"
Gu Chi said: "I came from Ji Shou."
Kangnian's expression changed and he asked quickly, "Is Ji Shou okay?"
Gu Chi felt that Kang Nian's issue was a bit subtle.
It seemed that the person whose life was hanging by a thread was Yu Zi, but Kang Nian's first question was when he asked Kang Shi. Thinking of what Yu Zi said again, Gu Chi's curiosity became even more intense. He said: "Ji Shou is fine, but something happened to his student and deputy, and he is very distressed."
Kangnian sighed: "I have expected this day for a long time."
He said this very softly, but Gu Chi heard it clearly.
He asked: "Brother Bo Sui, what do you mean by this?"
Kang Nian remained silent and unwilling to answer.
But who is Gu Chi?
His way of being a scribe allows him to listen to the other party's voice openly, and combined with the clues revealed in his heart, he can control Kang Nian to death: "Speaking of which, Ji Shou said something very strange just now. I'm going to take the liberty to ask, Ji Shou Why are my father and brother missing?”
Kangnian's face darkened.
As ugly as swallowing a fly alive.
Even if he didn't say anything, Gu Chi could follow the clues and piece together a complete picture based on the other person's fragmentary thoughts. It was these things that made Gu Chi understand why Kang Shi's reaction was so wrong.
because-
He has seen what Yushitai is capable of.
Even if he didn't say anything, Gu Wangchao still had the means to find out. When the truth comes out, some things can no longer be hidden."The death of father and Erlang is related to Ji Shou."
Gu Chi thought to himself: "As expected. 】
Kang Shi wakes up the Wonshi, killed people.
His father and second brother.
The old head of the Kang family passed away suddenly. Kangnian was unprepared to take on the important responsibilities of the family. Before he could recover from the pain of losing his father, his second brother also died of his illness, his third brother had been sick all year round, and his fourth brother had left his hometown far away. The four brothers of the Kang family are separated by year, month, day and hour. Kang Nian looked at the decline of the Kang family's lintel and the family members, old and young, helplessly.
At the most painful time, I also hated Kangshi.
I would rather he be a useless person and a playboy.
But he is not, he is quite good, the smartest and most talented among the four brothers, and he is also the child whose father has placed a lot of expectations on him. Even on the night of his death, when his consciousness was in chaos, he did not forget to vaguely whisper that they were united as brothers.
Reason told Kangnian that Ji Shou was innocent.
Yes, he is innocent.
Kangnian took a deep breath and explained: "Although it has something to do with Ji Shou, it is not his fault. The incident back then was complicated... Children of aristocratic families all get engaged early, and Ji Shou is no exception. The two families have a good relationship and have agreed to have children. The wedding can be held when she reaches adulthood. The queen was born sick from her mother's womb and died at the age of seven. "
Since the woman is gone, Kang Shi will naturally have to propose marriage in another way.
“...Well, the marriage proposal didn’t go well either.”
With Kangshi’s family background, talents and education, it would not be difficult for him to be single, and he was also a hot young talent in the local area. It's just that he couldn't stand up to Kang Shi, he was unlucky, he had bad luck, he awakened to the way of the scribe too early, and he still had such bad attributes! Defeat five people in a row!
The engaged woman either elopes with her lover or suffers from serious illness or minor disasters, including fires, thefts, and conflicts with the elders of the clan. The six rites of acceptance, name asking, acceptance, acceptance, date request, and personal greeting are the most difficult of fates. I only persisted until the "request period".
Thought this was the end?
No, just at the beginning.
The corners of Gu Chi's mouth twitched: "It's really unlucky."
Kang Nian sneered: "I thought that was the case at the time."
The first one was sick and died young. Ordinary people might not be able to survive the cold, let alone a girl who was born with a weak heart.
How old was Kangshi at that time?
Her death could not have been caused by Kang Shike.
The second and third terms were just a coincidence. Kang Shi could not control his scholarly ways at that time. The fourth term already had his heart set on him, but her confidante was of low status and could not stay with her forever. She had to accept it due to family pressure.
Kangshi also heard about this.
He has a free and easy-going personality and doesn't like to force things.
This young couple has already made trouble in front of him. There is no point in forcing this marriage, but there are still some things to say.
女君 is unwilling to marry into the Kang family and would rather run away from the marriage. Her courage is commendable. Have you ever thought about the fickleness of people's hearts? The one who betroths you is your wife, and the one who runs away is your concubine. If he changes his mind one day, she won't be able to go back. 】
Before marriage, if you have a close friend, no one will care about you.
But no family would tolerate talking about marriage and elopement.
The woman gritted her teeth and said: "My lover will never change his heart." 】
Kang Shi nodded and generously provided the two with escape tools.
Such a big scandal has spread in the woman's family, which has greatly affected the marriages of other women in other tribes, so naturally they are not willing to let it go.
As a result, the problem was blamed on Kang Shi.
It was precisely because of Kang Jishou's disobedience to his wife that he plagued his daughter, causing her daughter, who had always been normal, to suddenly lose her mind and run away with someone.
Kang's family was so depressed that they proposed to kiss for the fifth time.
This person was determined to persist until the "application deadline".
There were no twists and turns during this period.
The two families seemed destined to become in-laws, and the Kang family also cooperated more with them. Unexpectedly, this is a trap.
Gu Chi asked: "Trap?"
Kang Nian’s eyes were filled with sadness: “Yeah.”
The other party dragged the Kang family into the water, and all the money they invested was lost, disappearing overnight, and even killed someone. The Kang family is in a state of panic and want to find out what happened to the other party. That family hangs white flags and the betrothed woman is dead.
The old head of the Kang family looked livid and had no choice but to endure it.
It is not possible to hold people accountable, but they will be beaten down by the other party.
Kang's vitality was damaged, and the family was in chaos.
The eldest son of that family was an uneducated dandy who liked to hang out in places with fireworks. Kang Shi's biggest hobby when he was young was looking at beauties and he had some connections there. The drunken dandy's words reached Kang Shi's ears - the engagement was fake, but he deliberately set a trap for the Kang family in the name of the engagement, destroying their foundation, and wasted no time. The female monarch was real, but she was seriously ill and was judged by the Xinglin Sage to have only one year to live.
The old head of the Kang family was worried about his son's marriage.
After four failed engagements, we had to lower the conditions again and again.
Hearing that this family was willing to get married and that the female queen had a good reputation, she was naturally happy to accept the offer. It turned out to be a scam!
Kangnian’s lips curled up in sarcasm.
"Why do you think that lady died so coincidentally?"
Gu Chi knows people's hearts well and can guess right.
“Take her medicine off? Or take action to send her on her way ahead of schedule?”
Kangnian said: "Poison."
Kang Shi almost exploded when he knew the truth.
However, he did not act rashly.
But he forgot that the people around him were arranged by his parents.
How could this news be concealed?
The old head of the Kang family was furious, but he also knew that dealing with the mess was the most important thing at the moment. It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years. The dandy spilled the beans and was trembling at first, but when he saw Mr. Kang didn't respond, his arrogance became even more arrogant. Deliberately humiliating a singing girl who had been saved by Kang Shi, and spreading the news everywhere that his sister was killed by Kang Shi.
Kang's father, who loved his son so much, naturally couldn't bear it.
Bring people to your door to ask for an explanation.
【Do you dare to open the coffin and conduct an autopsy? Kang's father was already in poor health, and he was very angry this time. "Let's see, was your daughter killed by my son, or was it poisoned to death by your evil-hearted people?" I thought there was something wrong in your family and I didn't want to settle the score now, but you slapped my nose and humiliated my son like this! That's too much! 】
That family will naturally not admit it.
It is even more impossible to open the coffin and conduct an autopsy.
The two sides clashed over this.
Kang Shi didn’t have many people with him, so Kang Shi couldn’t watch his own people being bullied, so he took action. They were at a disadvantage because they didn't have a few decent warriors to protect them, but that family had already taken precautions. Kang Shi used the scribe's method for the first time, and an accident happened - Erlang, who stood up to protect his father, was stabbed in the vital point in the chaos. He was an ordinary person, and this knife could really kill him.
Kang's father was so angry that he was also wounded in his heart.
“He could have survived that one, it’s just—”
Kangnian couldn't say the rest.
(*￣︶￣)
After hesitating for two days, I finally bought the 4080S, looking forward to a sea view room.
PS: The ways of the scribes of Yu Zi and Kang Shi were both related to luck. One was evil and wanted to seize the vermillion, while the other was bound to lose every bet. The two people bumped into each other during the consummation ceremony. Yu Zi was "Zhu" and Kang Shi was "Evil Zi" in her consummation ceremony; and in Kang Shi's consummation ceremony, Yu Zi was the gambler on the opposite side of the gambling table. On the surface, the rituals of two people are in conflict. Only one person can survive. It is another form of prisoner's dilemma, which mainly tests human nature and character.
Yu Zi admitted that she would do anything to achieve her goals, but Kang Shi had always been a gambler and couldn't stop gambling.
I don’t know if I can understand it this way.
The essence of the perfect ritual is to perfect the Taoist heart, and the deep essence is to fight against oneself.
