Twenty-seven,

Xu Chong let go of Zi Yu and stood in front of her.

"Wu Yuanli." He slowly said these three words, his tone was unfamiliar, as if he knew Wu Yuanli on the first day.

Wu Yuanli smiled on his face, but his fists were tightly pinching. He had always been bad at hiding his heart. Xu Chong knew this, and he knew it himself. A cold sweat fell from Wu Yuanli's forehead. He hurriedly wiped it away, twitching the corners of his mouth a few times, and he kept talking, "Mr. Xu, where are you going? Let's have a meal. These days, I can't eat well and can't sleep. I thought of it in my mind to find you. You see, in order to find you, my foot has sprained and swollen... Yesterday, we, as Lord Zhao's instructions, expanded the search range and came to find you on this Ailao Mountain. But the snowy road is hard to go, I actually got separated from them... But this was a blessing in disguise. I actually found you here. It's really a blessing to God..."

He said while wiping the cold sweat that kept falling from his forehead, his fists still pinched tightly, and his eyes did not dare to stop on Xu Chong's cold face.

"Why is Lord Wu in a hurry to find me?" Xu Chong waited quietly for him to finish speaking before asking in a faint tone.

"Is this more important? Lord Xu, you are a celebrity in front of the late emperor and a fierce constable in our Maocheng. I don't know how many strange cases have been solved and protect the safety of the people..."

"But I killed someone, you heard it just now."

Xu Chong stared at Wu Yuanli's panicked face, but Yu Guang had clearly seen the environment they were in. This was a bald cliff south of Ailao Mountain, not far from where he fell. There were strange rocks around him, but no one was hiding others except them. Except for them, no other yamen runners followed. As Wu Yuanli said, he was separated from them.

Xu Chong locked in Wu Yuanli's gaze, moved his feet little by little to the Shangfang sword on the ground, and raised his toes under the hilt of the sword, holding the sword in the palm of his hand, aiming the sword at Wu Yuanli's neck.

Although Wu Yuanli heard Xu Chong admit to killing someone, he never thought that he would kill him to silence him. So he stood there in a daze, opened his mouth a few times, and couldn't say a word, just like a fish that was out of water.

"I have already thought about it. I escaped from this valley and took Ziyu to retreat to the mountains and forests. From then on, there will be no more Xu Chong in this world. But why are you still unwilling to let me go? From the capital to Maocheng, no matter where I escape, you will follow you step by step, following like a shadow... Why can't you let me go?"

"Mr. Xu," Wu Yuanli seemed to finally come back and waved his hand desperately, "Mr. Xu... The official has always admired you very much and has never framed you in front of others. If you say this, you really mean that the official is wronged..."

Wu Yuanli stopped talking because he found something wrong with Xu Chong's eyes. His eyes seemed to be pounding, his pupils were sharp and he shone with an abnormal light, which was completely different from his usual rigorous and calm appearance.

Wu Yuanli finally realized his situation. After sweeping his eyes a few times, he turned around and ran away, but the buckle on his belt was hooked by Xu Chong's sword tip. He couldn't break free, and his body stumbled backwards and fell heavily on the snow.

The biting snow penetrated into his collar and boots, penetrated his clothes, and soaked his body coldly, but he didn't dare to turn around. He listened to Xu Chong's footsteps and stepped on the thick snow, "cracking", like a dying song.

Wu Yuanli knew that he could not escape this disaster because he had never seen anyone who could escape from Xu Chong's men, but he did not expect that this fate would come to him one day.

Why did the man who made him worship like a god change? He not only killed people, but also wanted to kill himself?

"I am the county magistrate of Maocheng, an official of the court. You can't kill... kill... me," he trembled, "No, Xu Chong, we have known each other for so many years, how can you... be able..."

Before he finished speaking, a stinging pain suddenly came from his back. Wu Yuanli opened his mouth and said, "Ah", knowing that Xu Chong's sword edge had pierced into his back. But strangely, the sword stopped after only a little stabbed, and did not go deeper in.

"You can't kill people. You are Xu Chong, the detective of the brute-for-breath and Anliang. How can you kill people?" Ziyu held the sword with his hand, and the sword force cut her palm into blood and blood. Xu Chong saw it in his eyes and felt a sudden pain in his heart, as if her fingers were connected to his heart.

"Xu Chong, you can't kill people, you will regret it," Zi Yu bowed his legs and knelt on the ground. She looked at Xu Chong, her eyes filled with a look of pity or care. "I know that feeling, you will completely give up on yourself in your heart. Without the bottom line, people will not live like humans..."

She looked at him and held the sword tighter with her hand, "Didn't you say you want to find a barbaric place with me and live our own lives? If you let him go, I will leave with you, no one knows where we went? No one will pursue what you have done before..."

Xu Chong shook his head and smiled at her, "I am still the hero in their hearts if I leave voluntarily; if I am forced to leave because someone holds the handle, Zi Yu, I will become an exiled fugitive. Do you understand? No matter where I go to the ends of the world, I can feel their cold words. Even if I die, I will be poked at the backbone after entering the coffin. I said, look, that Xu Chong is not a stingy constable at all, but a desperate person."

Speaking of this, he smiled and stared at Ziyu's face, "And killing him is not only for me, but also for you..."

Ziyu seemed to have suddenly reacted, and his hand left the hilt of the sword and touched his face. Her delicate skin became much rougher, and she could even touch the shallow lines on it.

"You haven't eaten anything these days, a god-given opportunity, don't miss it."

"No, Xu Chong, don't."

Zi Yu was one step late, and the sword light in front of her eyes slammed through Wu Yuanli's body with thunder. Before he could make a scream, he stabbed him through.

"If you die, you can eat him," Xu Chong pulled the sword back and laughed dryly, "I don't care about you eating people, so you don't have to think..."
