Chapter 20 The Story of the Past

After leaving Qiuluo City , Shen Kuang and his wife just followed the official road and headed west.

As the saying goes, eating people has short mouths. Shen Kuang looked at the jug hanging on his waist, drank the jug of wine, and thought that the master would not trick him again next time . This trip to Qiuluo City was delayed for more than ten days. I hadn't seen the master for a while, and Shen Kuang still missed him a little.

Although there was a carriage on the way back, because of Su Yao's injury, they could not go too fast. It would take at least five days to get back to Plum-Mist City .

Thinking of Su Yao, Shen Kuang realized that Su Yao did not take the initiative to communicate with him during the journey, and no sound was heard from the carriage.

"Miss Su, please tell me if you need my help." Shen Kuang turned around and asked tentatively outside the gauze curtain. The purpose of the inquiry is naturally to worry about Su Yao's condition. After all, Su Yao was seriously injured. She was rescued from the gate of hell last night. Today, she has to travel a long way and the journey is tiring. For Su Yao, who is already weak, it is a big deal. test.

Su Yao in the carriage did not answer immediately. After a while, Shen Kuang heard a weak voice coming from the carriage, "Thank you for saving me!"

The atmosphere between the two people became much closer because of such a thank you. Shen Kuang smiled when he heard the words and said, "Haha, you're welcome, Miss Su. As we travel around the world, we naturally help when we can, so you don't have to take it to heart. "

"Do you know that I am wanted by the court?"

"I know!" Shen Kuang replied nonchalantly.

"The people in Supervisor Tiansi are very difficult to deal with. Aren't you afraid that you will harm yourself because you saved me?" Su Yao asked these words with great determination. She knew that she should not question other people's good intentions. , but she still asked.

Why save?

When hearing this question, Shen Kuang himself fell silent. Why save? He thought for a long time but did not give an answer because there was no answer.

"Shigure and I didn't think too much when we rescued you, but later we found out about your life experience. In fact... I still didn't have any fluctuations in my heart. Maybe it's because I'm not familiar with the so-called Jian Tiansi, or maybe We must have had similar experiences. Miss Su, can you tell me about what happened twenty years ago?"

This question has been lingering in Shen Kuang's mind for a long time. The mysteries about his life experience are like dark clouds in the sky, and only now are they gradually showing signs of dissipating.

"Are you...the only one who survived?" Su Yao said softly in the carriage.

After hearing Su Yao's words, Shen Kuang's tone paused. "Actually, I have no memory of what happened before. The thing that my master talked about the most since I was a child is sword practice. If I hadn't come to Qiuluo City and met Senior Han this time, I might never have known what happened to me. Something like that happened!”

There was a bit of sadness in Shen Kuang's tone, and Su Yao could hear it.

"Actually, my memories of that incident were all told to me by Uncle Mu later. He was my elder and one of the people who survived that year. Uncle Mu and the others knew the reason for that incident but they were unwilling to tell me. Me, they are afraid that I will be in danger again. Uncle Mu told me that the imperial court, Jian Tiansi and the underground network hidden in the dark were all participants in that incident, and they had a blood feud with us since childhood. Uncle Damu told me to never forget what the court did to my Su family." Su Yao's tone was not excited. Maybe it was because she had known about this matter for a long time, so her tone at the moment was indescribably cold. .

Su Yao also understood the coldness and calmness , but the master never talked about that matter with him, let alone hatred.

"Since I was a child, my master has never told me anything about my life experience. I have asked before, but he didn't tell me, let alone the hatred about the family."

There was no emotion in Shen Kuang's tone at this time, so Su Yao in the car didn't know what his mood was for a moment.

"It's been twenty years, why were you exposed again?" After a moment, Shen Kuang asked again slowly.

"People from the imperial court have never stopped looking for us. Uncle Mu once told me that there is something the imperial court wants among us."

"A group of us?" Shen Kuang asked.

"Yeah! Apart from you and me, there are people from several other families who are still alive, but I don't know where they are hiding now."

"Are you talking about the Jiang family, the Han family and the Yang family?"

"Um!"

"That thing?"

"Our Su family's one no longer exists, so I don't know what that thing is? Uncle Mu said that there is a big secret hidden in it."

"Then how were you discovered this time?"

"There is a traitor in the family. Maybe he has been anonymous for too long and he doesn't want to do this anymore. But his attempt to serve the court is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger, and he ended up dead in the end." Su Yao remembered again. After remembering the scene last night, he clenched his fists unconsciously.

an outline of the past . It was probably just a secret that the imperial court coveted in the hands of several families in the East China Sea, and then it became murderous. After killing all the families, it finally took the secret as its own. However, so far, the court seems to have been unsuccessful.

"Let's put those things aside for the time being. You can follow me back to Plum-Mist City to recuperate in peace, and then consider the next step after the injury is healed. It just so happens that you can also ask my master about those things that happened back then, and your injury If my master takes action, it will be better and faster." At this moment, Shen Kuang's tone was a little more indifferent, for his own sake and for Su Yao's sake.

why Master and Senior Han didn't tell him the whole story about that year was not because they wanted him to forget about it, but because at the moment, he didn't have the ability to decipher what happened back then on his own. His current feelings don't have as much hatred as Su Ya because he has less contact with her, but at the same time he also knows that he will have to shoulder his share of responsibilities sooner or later. Maybe Su Yao can't let go so calmly, but in this situation, it is good for her to be able to do something.

Su Yao in the carriage was looking at the roof of the carriage in a daze. Her expression was indifferent and she couldn't tell whether she was happy or sad.

Her heart was actually dead since last night. She thought she would be killed like everyone else in the family, but she didn't expect that she would be saved by Shen Kuang and Shi Yu. In the morning, she still resented why she was the only one who survived. She used to have uncles, brothers, relatives and sisters around her, but now, she was the only one left. She suddenly felt that she could not avenge the revenge that Uncle Mu once told her . She wanted to grab the sword and split the vengeance in her mind. Nightmare, but she couldn't do it then.

But when she got to know Shi Yu and Shen Kuang, she slowly came around. The young man who had the same experience as him was actually burdened with more than she was, so why couldn't she face it like that young man?

Perhaps, this is why God let her live, so that she can shoulder the hatred of her family alone. Although it will take a long time, perhaps one day in the future, the sword in her hand will be sheathed again, and she can return to the East China Sea to pay tribute to those family members who have never even had a grave.

The carriage was moving slowly on the official road, facing the setting sun in the distance, casting a long shadow!
