Chapter 115 Izumo Tower

The fire in Izumo Tower finally started.

First it was Gao’s house, then it was Chuyun Tower. Zhao Mingde would not sit idly by and wait for death.

At present, Liang Yi’s mansion is the safest.

Liang Yi and Feng Tu took off Yun Xing's bloody clothes, and Su Yan came in to check on Yun Xing's injuries.

Liang Yi asked: "It would be better to call a doctor?"

"At this hour, the doctor has already gone to bed. Where can I call him?"

Liang Yi was surprised and asked, "They still need to rest?"

Su Yan: “…”

The hard-working people were defeated.

Liang Yi quickly explained, "What I mean is, if you are seriously ill and the situation is urgent, it doesn't matter whether it's day or night."

When he was in the palace, couldn't he just call the imperial physician whenever he wanted?

Su Yan said: "These are just superficial injuries. There is no need to call for help. It is useless to call for help. The wound here needs stitches. I will do it."

Liang Yi: "…Why do you want to sew?"

Su Yan comforted him: "Don't worry, I have sewed it many times."

"You're sewing corpses, right?!"

Yun Xing lay on the bed, his forehead was burning, his throat was swollen, and it was still difficult for him to speak, "Your Highness, let her come."

Yunzhou has been standing outside the door.

He got carried away and left with a few people. Now, he probably can't go back.

He didn't want to get too close to these people, so he kept his distance from them, but he was furious to see that they were still struggling over whether to see a doctor or not.

Yun Zhou strode towards the wing room and took out a golden medicine from his pocket, "It's not a big deal. This injury is too common. Just apply some medicine and it will be fine."

Liang Yi was surprised and said, "You not only beat others, but also beat yourselves? You are really ruthless."

Yun Zhou: “…”

The little prince is really a fool!

Zhao Qiujin was also very interested in what happened at Chuyun Tower. It was inconvenient for her to come in, so she held the partition door and asked, "Who do you usually kill? Do you really kill? How many people have you killed?"

Yun Zhou: “…”

Liang Yi said: "If you ask a few more questions, he will kill you too."

Yun Zhou: “…”

Zhao Qiujin looked frightened, "How bad!"

Yun Zhou roared: "It was your father who made us do this. It was him!!"

In order to prevent Yun Zhou from being angry to death, Su Yan drove Zhao Qiujin away.

Liang Yi refused to leave. He probably wouldn't be able to fall asleep until he found out the truth of the matter.

Liang Yi said: "If you don't explain clearly today, I will go to Shi Mansion right away!"

Su Yan applied medicine on Yun Xing's wound and confirmed the wound that needed sutures before writing the prescription.

"Find someone to boil the medicine. I still need some tools. You can ask me anything after that."

Yun Xing’s condition wasn’t actually very good. He only had some minor injuries, but these were too many.

There was no way to give anesthesia at the moment, so Su Yan could only suture it directly. Yun Xing's body was full of holes, with new wounds on top of the old ones, and there was not a single good place.

She couldn't bear to watch, Yun Zhou stretched out his hand to her, "If you don't dare, I'll do it."

Su Yan refused, "I'm worried about you."

Yun Zhou: “?”

She has already kidnapped him, and now she is talking about trust?

Su Yan added, "But before entering and leaving Yunlou, I have already notified Jingzhao Prefecture and Shi Prefecture. Let's not talk about others first. Shi Yangui must want to eliminate all of your people. When the smoke rises, he will definitely lead people there, and you will have no chance to escape back."

Yun Zhou: “…”

He looked at Yun Xing, "How do you know this kind of person!"

Yun Xing pursed his lips, "She's angry."

If I wasn't angry, I would be cursing Yun Zhou a hundred and eighty times in my heart.

Yun Zhou held his forehead with his hand as he felt the pain.

He originally just hoped to gradually distance himself from the affairs of Izumo Tower, find an opportunity to do a job and escape, and live in anonymity for the rest of his life.

It would be best if he could find a wife, but he also knew how much blood was on his hands, and it would be good enough if he could keep his head. He would be alone for the rest of his life.

Now, he has indeed left Chuyun Tower, but running to the young prince's mansion is equivalent to offending Zhao Mingde, and he will not be accepted by Liang Yi.

There is no way out.

Yun Xing would not cry out no matter how much pain he felt. The wounds required more than a dozen stitches, but Yun Xing did not say a word.

Dark clouds gathered and a drizzle of rain fell outside the window.

Liang Yi put away the oil-paper umbrella and went into the wing room. "The Chuyun Tower has been surrounded. Unfortunately, there is no evidence that they killed anyone. Yun Xing is not convenient to show up now. We can only detain them for a few days for investigation and will release them in a few days. Shi Er said he can't detain them for long, so you should be careful."

Yun Zhou snorted coldly: "You have completely entered the heart of Manager Zhao."

Liang Yi said worriedly: "I'm afraid I can't protect you."

Since Su Yan chose to enter and exit Yunlou, he had already thought about the consequences. It would be unnecessary to be afraid now.

"You should go to Shi Mansion..." Liang Yi looked at Yun Xing, "No, why do you look exactly like Shi Yangui?!"

Yun Zhou couldn't help but look at Yun Xing.

He had lived and eaten with Yunxing for many years and had worked with him as a partner, but he didn't recognize this face.

This face is exactly the same as Shi Yangui's face.

Yun Zhou asked: "Are you... twins?"

Yun Xing said “hmm”.

"Are you also a member of the Shi family?!"

Yun Xing didn’t know whether he was a member of the Shi family. Before he was four years old, he lived in an ordinary farmer’s family.

That family lived in the suburbs of Beijing. Most of the land in Beijing had been taken away by Zhao Mingde's followers. They were the only family guarding a piece of land. Although they were poor, their life was better off than that of refugees.

When he was four years old, a box of gold and silver was brought into the house and he was taken away. His parents guarded the gold and had no time to look after him.

Yunxing was abandoned for the second time.

He met Chen Lian for the first time in the temple. Chen Lian hugged him and cried, promising to visit him in the future. He didn't know who he was, and she didn't even leave her name. She just met him once and then left.

According to the monks in the temple, he seemed to be the woman's son, but for various reasons, they could not take him back.

Yun Xing didn’t feel much about the sudden change of his mother. His parents were not very good to him either. He just moved from a place where he was not cared for much to another place where he was not cared for much.

He spent several more difficult years in the temple, learning martial arts every day.

Chen Lian came to visit him occasionally, but not often, as it seemed inconvenient for her.

Once, she brought Shi Yangui to the temple, and he saw his brothers for the first time. They really looked exactly the same.

His brother is not very close to him, as both of them are introverted.

Chen Lian held his hand and said, "You are the older brother, so you should be nicer to your younger brother."

Chen Lian wanted him to return to the border in place of Shi Yan.

But it was Shi Yangui's wish to join the army. The situation in the Shi family was too embarrassing, and he and his mother were not liked by the old lady. He did not want to stay in the capital.

In the end, Shi Yan returned. After Shi Yan left, Chen Lian was heartbroken and never went to see Yun Xing again.

A year later, there was trouble in the temple. Zhao Mingde sent people to drive the monks away, and Yun Xing also escaped. He did not go to look for the monks, but began to wander.

There were many refugees near the capital, but he was not noticeable among them. He was good at martial arts and no one dared to bully him. Even many young people followed him.

Yunxing is the freest during this period, and he likes it very much.

But not long after, Chen Lian sent someone to find him.

She was furious and slapped him, saying that if he showed up in public, it would kill them and their son.

Yun Xing thought about it carefully and concluded that the "mother and son" she mentioned should be referring to her and Shi Yangui.

From then on, Yunxing put on the mask and never took it off again.

When he was a teenager, he couldn't remember his exact age, but he only remembered that Shi Yangui had already made a name for himself in the frontier. One day, Chen Lian, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, found him again.

Shi Yangui was seriously injured and was rescued by a doctor in Anping Town. Zhao Mingde sent people to chase and kill him, but at that time Shi Yangui's team had just been dispersed and was unable to resist Zhao Mingde.

Chuyun Tower has become famous, and Zhao Mingde will not stop as long as Shi Yangui is alive.

Chen Lian pressed Yun Xing's shoulders and said earnestly, "He is the hope of the Shi family, but he must die."

Now that Shi Yangui is dead, the pursuit will not continue.

As long as you die, you have the opportunity to start over.

As long as they're dead...it doesn't matter who dies, as long as they're dead.

Therefore, Yun Xing was sent to Anping Town to replace Shi Yangui.

If you count carefully, this is the third time he has been abandoned.

Liang Yi felt sorry for Yun Xing, "Whatever she said is what it is? She said she is your mother, but in fact you have never met her many times. Why do you have to listen to her?"

Yun Xing didn't have much emotion when talking about these things, "It's not that I have to listen, but... it doesn't seem to matter."

It doesn’t matter if I’m alive, and it doesn’t matter if I’m dead.

At least when he was alive, he didn't feel how good it was to be alive.

"I remember that the person who saved Shi Yangui was Su Yan. Are you referring to this incident?" Liang Yi tugged at Su Yan, "Do you remember?"

Su Yan was shocked.

She remembered very clearly that when she first rescued Shi Yan Gui, Shi Yan Gui was indeed a little different from the last few days.

They were originally very good friends, and Shi Yan Gui even mentioned the Changwei Army to her, but later he suddenly didn't want to talk to her anymore.

No matter how she asked, he said nothing. He sat in the yard every day and seemed to have no interest in anything.

She thought he was not recovering well and felt sad, but she didn't expect that he had become a different person.

No wonder Yun Xing knew so much about her.

Su Yan's voice was a little hoarse, "The fire that followed..."

"He was sent by Zhao Mingde. He was afraid of Shi Yangui. The fact that Shi Yangui's men were dispersed was also related to Zhao Mingde. He will not give up until he sees Shi Yangui's body."

Su Yan understood.

Her parents, like Yun Xing, were just pawns used to lure Zhao Mingde.

As long as Shi Yangui can survive, it doesn’t matter whether Su Mao and Yingying can survive.

Yunxing also had a part in this plan, but it seemed like one couldn't blame him.

Yun Xing stared at Su Yan and said, "Whether you believe it or not, I didn't know Zhao Mingde would set the fire directly, nor did I expect that it would implicate your parents. When Zhao Mingde's men broke in that day... it was Shi Lin who saved me."

Su Yan was stunned, "You even know who he is."

Shi Yangui knew the truth, and Yun Xing also knew that only their family was kept in the dark.

Yun Xing was slightly startled, and tried to sit up by holding onto the bed. "I don't know him. I just exchanged with Shi Yangui. He told me your identities, and I..."

Su Yan's voice was somewhat numb. "I don't want to know about these things. What happened next? Why were you in Izumo Tower?"

Yun Xing was not dead yet, so he naturally could not replace Shi Yangui, but he did help Shi Yangui to avoid many disasters.

From then on, Zhao Mingde hunted him down all the way to the capital.

After arriving in the capital, Chen Lian never contacted him again. He later learned that Shi Yangui had returned to the army and continued to lead troops in battle.

As a discarded pawn, he no longer has any value.

Yun Xing still had no goal and didn't know what to do until Zhao Mingde found him.

"From the beginning, Zhao Mingde knew my identity. He kept me by his side at first, and then slowly let me go out to do errands until he completely trusted me."

Su Yan asked: "You are disappointed with Chen Lian, so you decided to work for Zhao Mingde?"

Although it is hateful to stand on Zhao Mingde's side, Yun Xing's choice seems understandable.

When he was abandoned by his mother, it was Zhao Mingde who took him in.

Yun Xing shook his head, "She told me to stay with Zhao Mingde at ease."

Whenever Yun Xing received a task, he would inform Chen Lian first, and if Chen Lian gave his permission, he would do it.

Chen Lian didn't allow it, so he tried to avoid doing it.

Most of those people were obstacles in Shi Yangui's way, and the vast majority of them had nothing to do with Zhao Mingde. Accidents would happen occasionally, but Zhao Mingde never doubted him.

Liang Yi held the teacup in his hand for a long time. He couldn't understand Yun Xing's choice. "Why do you still listen to her?"

She abandoned him many times and would rather let him die for Shi Yangui. If it were Liang Yi, he would hate her to death.

Yun Xing said calmly, "Who should I listen to? It's the same whether I'm alive or dead. It's the same whether I work for Zhao Mingde or for her."

Su Yan thought about when she first met Yun Xing, and how everything he said and did was strange.

"You're going to Anping Town. Does that mean you don't plan to live anymore?"

Yunxing did not deny it.

Although he didn't know what to do, he was also tired.

Chen Lian would only see him when she needed him to do something, and there was no mother-son relationship between them.

As for Shi Yangui, Yun Xing had seen him only a few times. They were brothers, but they had never been close.

Later, when Shi Yangui saw him, he just looked at him with the eyes of a superior. Yun Xing was very familiar with this look. Everyone liked to look at him with this look.

Life is really boring.

Almost all the people in Chuyun Tower are orphans, and Yunzhou is no exception.

He had never seen his parents, but because of his high talent, he was taken to practice martial arts and entered Izumo Tower after rounds of fighting.

They are not familiar with each other, are wary of each other, and will not say anything intimate.

If it weren't for the errands they had to work on together, Yun Zhou might not have seen Yun Xing many times.

Yun Zhou didn’t know what it felt like to have parents, but he knew that it must be bad to have parents but be ignored and used.

Two brothers from the same mother, one is a high-ranking general, the other is a killer despised by everyone and a future prisoner.

The glory of Shifu has nothing to do with him, but the dark side of Shifu has to be completed by him.

Yun Zhou felt unhappy. "Your mother is too cruel. Giving birth to twins is a good thing, but she wants to throw you away. She is really not a human being."

Yun Xing was silent for a moment, then said, "I heard it wasn't intentional."

"I heard?"

"I was still young at the time and have no memory, so I just heard about it," Yun Xing said, "She gave birth on the same day as Ning Haitao, and she also killed Ning Haitao's child."

Su Yan thought of Shi Baiwei and Ning Haitao’s small building.

Ning Haitao was very much loved, and Chen Lian could not tolerate her. Not only did she attack the child, she also tried to imprison her for life.

It was then that Bai Wei exchanged with Ning Haitao and she was freed.

"Ning Haitao didn't sit there and wait for death. I was taken away by her people. I was born first, and Shi Yangui was born later. The doctor didn't find out that she was pregnant with twins. Ning Haitao's people took me away, but they didn't kill me. They just handed me over to a peasant woman."

Su Yan had heard about the grudge between them when he was in Shi Mansion, but he never thought that Yun Xing was also involved.

Chen Lian failed to find Yun Xing immediately. In order to cover up what she had done to Ning Haitao, she chose to keep quiet and just pretend that she only had one son.

Liang Yi said: "But Ning Haitao has already been defeated by her, why didn't she take you back?"

Yun Zhou said sarcastically, "If we take her back, people will find out what she did. How can a lady who is so high and mighty agree to this?"

Liang Yi: “…”

It is incomprehensible that she values ​​her reputation more than her own children.

Yun Xingdao: "I am a stain on her life. It is understandable that she doesn't want to have anything to do with me."

"Bah," Liang Yi said, "She is the calamity of your life, Shi Baiwei should have chopped her off together. Why doesn't Shi Baiwei avenge Ning Haitao?!"

Yun Xing talked too much and coughed a few times.

Su Yan walked over with the medicine in his hand, "Take the medicine first. Although it's just flesh wounds, you still need to rest more. Shi Yangui has returned to Beijing. You died for him so many times, he should protect you well."

Liang Yi said: "Brother Yun hasn't told us what happened today. What's the plan? Why did the little thief Yunzhou mistake him for Shi Yangui? Oh no, they look the same, so it's normal to mistake him for Shi Yangui."

Seeing that Yun Xing was very tired, Su Yan spoke for him, "I guess Zhao Mingde's plan is to replace Shi Yangui with Yun Xing to contain Shi Yangui's Changwei Army."

"But he clearly wanted to kill Brother Yun today."

Su Yan corrected: "The person he wants to kill is not Yun Xing, but Shi Yan Gui."

But Yun Xing has to die for Shi Yangui again.

"Didn't you notice?" Su Yan said calmly, "I can't tell since when Shi Yangui's behavior became strange. Yun Xing never showed up during that period."

Liang Yi recalled that Su Yan had mentioned several times that something was wrong with Shi Yan Gui, "Could it be that Shi Yan Gui was Brother Yun at that time?!"

Su Yan chastised Yun Xing, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Really?"

She didn't look happy, Yun Xing didn't dare to provoke her, and just nodded with a wry smile.

Su Yan said: "During those days when a murder occurred in Shi Mansion, it was you, right?"

Yun Xing: “Well…”

Liang Yi held his forehead, feeling very sad.

He didn't even notice it?!

Yun Xing said: "Zhao Mingde captured Shi Yangui a long time ago and tortured him to find out about the Changwei Army and the Shi Mansion, so as to prevent me from being discovered. He often asked me to play Shi Yangui because he was worried that I would be exposed if I was not skilled enough. From his perspective, I should slowly adapt to the new role, negotiate with King Qunan, and then get rid of the Changwei Army and use them for his own benefit."

If Shi Yangui is killed directly, the Changwei Army will not obey Zhao Mingde's orders.

But if Yun Xing could replace Shi Yangui, with Shi Yangui's prestige, he would be able to completely control the Changwei Army, and Zhao Mingde would no longer be afraid of King Qunan.

Su Yan sneered, "He has a nice idea."

"His power is not as great as before, so he is naturally anxious."

Liang Yi said: "We should explain this matter clearly to our second brother. And Shi Yangui...does he know about this?"

Su Yan said: "The whole thing was led by him and Chen Lian, of course he knows about it, is there any need for us to tell him?"

She pushed Yunxing onto the bed and said, "You should rest now. Yunzhou can't leave. He has to stay and do the hard labor. Little prince, you should go back and rest as well."

Liang Yi tilted his head, "You're not leaving?"

"Of course I can't leave," Su Yan said confidently, "If I leave, what if Yun Zhou can't figure it out and harms Yun Xing?"

Yun Zhou: "..., it was you who told me to do hard labor!"

"Yeah, what kind of hard labor is there?"

Su Yan said: "If Zhao Mingde's men catch up with us, you are the only one who can fight best here."

Yun Zhou: “…”

The dead girl used him without mercy!

He's still merciless with his words!

Su Yan didn't sleep all night.

It’s not that she didn’t want to sleep, but as soon as she closed her eyes, she could see Su Mao and Yingying.

Has Chen Lian ever thought that their plan would implicate others?

When Su Mao rescued Yun Xing, did he know that this was actually his other nephew?

As a result of the plans of those in power, it is the common people who suffer.

In the early morning, Su Yan fell into a daze and slept for a while. Not long after, Liang Yi rushed in, "You three...are still sleeping all over the place. Hey, Yun Zhou, aren't you a laborer? How can a laborer sleep? Su Yan! Wake up, Shi Yan is back!"

Su Yan and Yun Zhou jumped up together.

Yunxing recovered quickly and was much stronger than yesterday. He propped himself up on the bed and sat up. "I'll talk to him."

"No!" Su Yan's voice was the loudest. "Stay here! I want to tell you! Where is Shi Yangui?!"

Su Yan was very imposing, Liang Yi reminded him: "We used to rely on others for power, and most of the power belonged to him. Are you sure you want to be so arrogant?"

Su Yan: “…”

She coughed lightly and her tone softened. "I want to reason with him. We shouldn't confront him forcefully."

Yun Zhou rolled his eyes at her, then turned to ask Yun Xing, "What do you like about her?"

Yun Xing said: "You'd better not mess with her."

Yun Zhou: "?, I just saved you, and you're still speaking for her? Haven't we known each other longer than you?"

Yun Xing said, "I'm just worried that you won't have a good life in the future, always being scolded and not being able to find the source."

"This is true," Liang Yi testified, "I always hear people say I'm stupid, but I can't find out who it is."

Su Yan: “…”

Pretend not to understand.

As they were talking, the sound of footsteps was heard outside the door.

Feng Tu said loudly: "Your Highness, General Shi is here."

Liang Yi hurried out to stop him, "How did you get in? We'll be there right away. Hey, wait a minute..."

When Liang Yi first saw Shi Yangui's face, he felt a little uncomfortable.

I always feel that this face should only belong to one person, but there are really two identical faces.

Liang Yi lowered his head to avoid looking at Shi Yan Gui for too long.

Shi Yangui looked at the partition door blocked by Liang Yi. There were probably people inside who he needed to see, and also people he didn't want to see right now.

Shi Yan Gui said: "You already know everything that happened last night."

"This..." Liang Yi pretended to be stupid, "You don't know everything, right?"

"Now that you know, you should understand that all plans have been disrupted and we need to clean up. Get out of the way."

Liang Yi wanted to stop him but didn't dare to.

Su Yan came out and said, "Let him in."
