Zhao Hong drank a glass of wine and said casually: "Brother You's words are still as profound as ever, but this time I seem to understand." Okay, Brother Jia, I, a rough person, have understood, I believe you should also understand. ”

Seeing Jia Qingtang nodding slightly, Zhao Hong continued: "At that time, Brother Lu, what is the situation on the Chu State's side now?

Lu Chongming said: "We did send someone to investigate this matter, although the whole thing is secretly revealing the shadow of the Demon Dao, but until now we have not obtained real evidence." Therefore, it is not good for us Qianjimen to directly intervene in this matter, so we can only summon our disciples to be ready to act at any time. ”

I looked at Shi Jun, who was still silent, and asked, "Brother Shi, how is the battle between your Qingling Sect and that Seven Princes?"

Shi Jun looked up at me and said, "Fortunately, it has been in a state of see-saw at the moment, but my master said that the Seven Princes should still have some strength left, but now they seem to be waiting for some time." ”

I nodded and said, "You don't have to think about it to guess, it should be that Sacred Heart Sect Leader who still has a plan." If we intervene in the affairs of Chu State now, we will leave people with a handle, and we may even fall into the devil's tricks. Now I can only wait, as for Nie Qi's matter... ”

Shi Jun asked with concern: "Uncle You, do you have a way?" After getting along with him for so long, I dare to vouch for him with the head of the Lord, Nie Qi caused such a big disaster, it is definitely not because he is a devil spy!"

I smiled and said, "It seems that Nie Qi has a good comrade-in-arms." After eating for a while, I'll go see Nie Qi first, and then I'll go talk to Ji Xijing. Go and ask Nie Qi if there is room for negotiation. ”。。。

Because everyone had something on their minds, we didn't drink too much wine, and our meal ended in less than an hour. Afterwards, I asked Yu Qinrui to take Bao Long'er back to rest first, and I went directly to the prison where Nie Qi was held.

"I'm You Yuzhen, the ruling elder of the Kunlun faction, can I meet Nie Qi who is being held here?" I took out the Kunlun faction token and asked the jailer of the Dayu State Prison.

The jailer said respectfully, "Elder You, please wait here for a while, and I'll go in and report it." ”

After a while, the jailer came back and said to me, "Elder You has just saved the demon insect from danger, so it is specially approved that Elder You can go in and visit Nie Qi." Elder You, please come with the little one. ”

"Okay, thank you. With that, I followed the jailer into the prison of Dayu Kingdom.

It should be the reason for Nie Qi's special identity, and Dayu Guo detained Nie Qi alone in the deepest part of the prison. The jailer opened Nie Qi's cell door and said to me, "Elder You, don't let the little one be embarrassed, you can't visit for too long. ”

I nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go in and say a few words to him and come out." ”

In the prison, Nie Qi looked at me calmly and said, "I really deserve to be the ruling elder of the Kunlun faction, and even this place is so easy for you to enter and exit." ”

I walked around in the prison and looked around, and said, "Your place is quite spacious, can you drink wine here?" Do you want any wine from here?"

Nie Qi shook his head slightly and said, "No need, if you have anything to say, just say it directly." ”

I opened the wine gourd and took a sip of it, and said, "Actually, I don't have anything specific to tell you, I just want to come in and see how you are doing?"

"What? Why? This is not your Elder You's character, right?" Nie Qi asked with a chuckle.

I looked at Nie Qi and said, "I'm sure I didn't come here to see your jokes, and besides, you can't be a joke anymore." ”

Nie Qi asked, "Then what are you here for?"

"The crisis of the demon insects has now been controlled, and it will be possible to eradicate all the demon insects in half a month at most. I sat on the ground and fiddled with the wine gourd in my hand.

Nie Qi looked at me and asked, "How many people have died in this demon worm outbreak, have you counted them?"

"Almost, the number of casualties who participated in the encirclement and suppression of demon insects is more than 90,000, and the casualties of the disciples of the Taiyue Sect this time are more than 16,000. The people who were stricken ... I think this amount is too big, and I don't really want to add a psychological burden to Nie Qi, so I said casually: "It's a lot anyway." ”

Nie Qi said without hearing any emotion: "You are the only one who has the ability and is willing to come to see me, thank you." When will my verdict come down?"

I said: "Tomorrow the second Middle-earth United Council will be officially convened, at least tomorrow all day long will be listened to by the representatives of all parties, and we will report on the details of our exploration of the ruins of the Demon Kingdom this time." I estimate that you will have to wait another two days for the verdict. ”

Nie Qi nodded and said, "Yes, okay." ”

"Is there anything you'd like me to take out for?" I asked.

Nie Qi shook his head slightly and said, "No, do I still have to humbly ask others to forgive me for my crimes at this time?"

I said, "Crime is too much, isn't it? It seems to me that your impetuousness has been exploited." ”

"Then I'm not wrong? I, Nie Qi, will never have the slightest luck and try to shirk my own responsibility! I can die for my mistakes, but I will never humble myself to pray and live in the disdainful eyes of others!" Nie Qi said angrily.

I sighed: "Alas... Why don't you still understand what is wrong with you? Your perseverance, your persistence, and your responsibility are not wrong. You just care too much about the eyes of the world, which is why you are too impatient, lack judgment, and are taken advantage of by traitors. ”

Nie Qi stared at me seriously and asked, "Am I really wrong?

I smiled bitterly and said, "Who said I don't care about anything, I care about a lot of things, okay? What I want to say is that everything is too much, and you shouldn't be too deliberate in doing anything." In fact, letting go does not mean abandoning completely... ”

At this time, the jailer came in cautiously and said, "That... Two adults... Are we ... ？”

I looked at the jailer and said, "Okay, I'll go." ”。

I turned back to Nie Qi and said, "In short, I don't think your fault is a heinous crime, and your heart is not evil. I hope you can give yourself a chance to make amends. ”。。。。

After leaving the prison of Dayu Kingdom, I saw that it was very late today, so I simply went back to my residence directly, and after I finished my report in the United Council tomorrow, I would go to the third prince Ji Xijing to talk about Nie Qi.
