Su Chen listened silently, Hong Mingshou's voice was not high, and occasionally his voice was very vague because of depression, but he still heard what he said clearly.
He has already guessed that the truth is not as simple as he thought before, and now he is not surprised to hear Hong Mingshou say it himself.
After Hong Mingshou saw him leave with his own eyes that day, he immediately returned to the chief helm. After running around for days, he stood in front of the chief helm in a state of embarrassment.
Hong Mingshou, the chief rudder, was not surprised, because he found the news from the shadow, and seeing Hong Mingshou was very disappointed, not only did he not explain to him, but no one locked him up.
Perhaps it was because Hong Mingshou was brought by the chief rudder since he was a child, and the people of the Tiandihui naturally treated him differently. Although the chief rudder ordered him to be locked up, the people below did not dare to neglect him and did not put him in a dark room. prison.
Hong Mingshou was disheartened at the time, so naturally he didn't care where he was locked up. It wasn't until he calmed down a little that he realized that he was actually locked up in the confinement room at the back.
The confinement room is at the northernmost part of the main helm, and it is used to detain some stewards who have made mistakes on weekdays, and it has not been used for a long time.
Hong Mingshou looked around the room, although it had been a long time since anyone had been locked up here, the room was still spotlessly clean.
He looked at it, and couldn't help but think of the years he spent in the chief helmsman, feeling sad in his heart.
Sitting alone in the confinement room for a long time, Hong Mingshou still couldn't figure it out. It was like a ball of fire was burning in his heart, and more and more balls filled his mind, making him restless.
The moon was in the middle of the sky, Hong Mingshou couldn't help getting up and walking to the window. The confinement room was originally used for meditation, and there was no front window, only a small rear window.
Under the deep moonlight, Hong Mingshou gazed across the dark night, looked into the distance, but inadvertently swept across the bamboo forest behind.
He has practiced martial arts since he was a child, his martial arts skills are extremely high, and his eyesight is astonishing. Even under the darkness of night, he can clearly see a faint fire in the bamboo forest.
I was shocked at the moment, the main rudder was backed by a deep mountain, and behind it was a large bamboo forest. Usually no one would approach this place, how could there be fire at this time?
The melancholy in Hong Mingshou's heart faded in an instant, and he stared at the fire light with awe-inspiring expression, before entering after a long time, the fire light stayed where it was, as if it was not approaching.
He stared at the little flame vigilantly, although it was very faint, it was still there and never disappeared.
There were no guards around the confinement room. Hong Mingshou was hesitating. He pushed open the rear window and jumped down. After a few ups and downs, he was already near the fire.
Before he could get close, two figures suddenly rushed out from the darkness. They waved at him without looking at him. , stepping on a bamboo pole and flying over the heads of those two people.
The two of them didn't seem to have thought that Hong Mingshou's lightness kung fu was so outstanding. They were shocked and let out a light whistle. In the deep night, the sound spread, and Hong Mingshou knew that this person was sending a message.
He was about to turn around and deal with those two people, but he didn't expect to see a thin figure in the bean fire at a glance.
Although the light of the fire was faint, Hong Mingshou somehow felt that the outline of that person was somewhat similar.
He didn't have time to think about it at the moment, and walked in front of that person in a flash. When he saw the person's appearance clearly, Hong Mingshou was like a thunderbolt, and immediately froze in place.
After a glimpse of the city of Bianjing, Hong Mingshou deeply engraved the appearance of the little emperor in his mind. The Heaven and Earth Society wanted to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, so they must kill the emperor.
He absolutely can't kill the wrong person, so after meeting him that time, he never dared to forget it.
But he never expected that the little emperor would appear in the Tiandihui headquarters and be imprisoned in the bamboo forest in the back mountain.
Hong Mingshou was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He had already forgotten where he was. When the two men turned around and attacked him, he didn't check and was slapped on the back of his heart.
The circulation of internal force was suddenly interrupted, and a mouthful of blood was spit out violently. The man who looked exactly like the little emperor looked up at him, and there was a moment of confusion in his eyes.
Hong Mingshou came to his senses suddenly, turned his head and drew his sword, and hit a man's arm, then staggered back to the man's side, grabbed his wrist, and asked in a low voice, "Who are you?"
The man didn't answer, but looked at the blood on the corner of Hong Mingshou's mouth, and his brows were faintly frowned, as if he was a little worried. At this time, a large fire suddenly appeared in the distance of the bamboo forest. When Hong Mingshou looked up, the chief helmsman was walking Walking into the bamboo forest, he looked at him with deep eyes.
The long dark night finally passed, Hong Mingshou looked at the chief rudder with a pale face, and asked tremblingly, "Why didn't you tell me?"
The chief helmsman snorted lightly, "You have been impatient since you were a child, if I let you know, any mistake would be a catastrophe."
"But Li Daitao is stiff. That is also the world of the Qing Dynasty. We want to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. Don't we want to overthrow the Qing court and let the Ming Lord take the throne?"
Hong Mingshou couldn't bear it anymore and blurted out.
The chief rudder frowned and said: "This is the ancestor's decision, do you want to disobey the order?"
Hong Mingshou suddenly came back to his senses, he almost forgot that just now the Chief Steward told him that the ancestor of Tiandihui was still alive.
The truth he always thought was actually just a hoax, and the home he thought he had since childhood was actually just a cover to deceive the world.
He couldn't accept such a fact, but he didn't know what to say to the chief helmsman who had raised him since he was a child.
His heart kept tumbling on the fire, and then sank into the cold icy water. Under the combination of ice and fire, he felt a depression in his heart that was getting deeper and deeper. In the end, under the tumbling of blood, he even rolled his eyes. fainted.
When Hong Mingshou woke up again, he was no longer at the chief rudder, but was sent to Xishan by the chief rudder.
He spent a whole night in Xishan thinking and thinking, and finally decided to find Su Chen. This would tell him that the so-called anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty was just a joke. He thought that the great cause he was willing to sacrifice for was just someone else's power. Just fighting.
When Su Chen heard this, he didn't know how to react, he could only laugh or cry, shook his head and sighed: "I see."
The Tiandihui is indeed not an ordinary Jianghu organization, but an eye left by the Xianzong sect on the Jianghu.
The so-called anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty turned out to be nothing more than a conspiracy for power.
"You came here because of me," Hong Mingshou suddenly raised his head, and said in a firm tone: "Now you know that the anti-Qing and Ming-ming is just a conspiracy, I don't need your help to kill the emperor, now you can go. "
