"Are you a human or a lackey of the demons?"

Mo Feixue's words pierced Yan Qinghou's heart deeply, because even he began to doubt what his identity was. He couldn't answer Mo Feixue because he was under too much pressure and didn't bear the weight of ordinary people. Yan Qinghou understood that the reason why Yan Che let him return to his hometown was that he wanted to make a break with the past, and if he carried the old thoughts of the past, he couldn't be with him. But it is always a hurdle in people's hearts, and it is not easy to face that hurdle, let alone cross it. Yes or no, Yan Qinghou couldn't answer, so he could only be silent.

"Are you acquiescing?" Mo Feixue asked again, Yan Qinghou just clenched his fists and didn't reply.

Mo Feixue sneered and said, "After so many years, there are so many things that I haven't seen clearly. The war between countries is, after all, a contest and game between human beings, and the infusion of demons is a threat to the safety of human beings on the entire continent. Mo Feixue's right hand stretched out to her waist, and a murderous aura spread out from her, and her murderous aura caused the tea set and window paper in the room to vibrate. Yan Qinghou's face did not change, knowing that it was no different to say more, and he was ready to draw his sword with this old friend.

At this moment, the door of the inner room was opened, and Yan Qinghou's wife walked in with the child in her arms. Yan Muran looked at Yan Qinghou sitting at the table with a woman and asked, "Father, I'm hungry." ”

Seeing the girl's innocent face, Mo Feixue withdrew her murderous aura and put her hand on the table. Seeing Mo Feixue's actions, Yan Qinghou got up, touched the child's hand and said, "Let your mother go out to eat, my father and this friend still have a lot to say." The mutton here is particularly delicious, let your mother take you to eat cumin mutton. After speaking, Yan Qinghou gave his wife a look and asked her to leave with the child as soon as possible. The wife understood what Yan Qinghou meant, asked him to be more careful before leaving, and then left the yard with the child in her arms.

After his wife and daughter left, Yan Qinghou and Mo Feixue walked out of the inner room and came to the courtyard. The courtyard was crowded with people, all watching them. What is going to happen here next can make the city's storytelling another ten years old.

"It's been almost ten years since the last duel, right?"

"It's been more than ten years. ”

"Your personality hasn't changed, and you never distinguish between right and wrong in doing things, you only care about what you think. ”

"You've changed a lot, and you can't even use your sword to deal with your enemies. ”

"There are some things that don't come to an end with just the sword. ”

"Yes, but if you don't take up arms, there will be no hope of changing the outcome. ”

Mo Feixue took out the Shadowless Sword from his waist, Yan Qinghou clearly saw that an invisible blade in Mo Feixue's hand was forming in his hand, and the sword qi of the Shadowless Sword was even more full of evil aura than ten years ago.

About fifteen years ago, Shunzhou was still the boundary of Jiang State, Yan Qinghou was already a famous swordsman in Jiang State, he was famous with an iron sword, and many swordsmen who came to compete with him were defeated. Mo Feixue of the Northern Liang Country also made a name for himself in the north, and then came to Shunzhou to challenge Yan Qinghou. Yan Qinghou and Mo Feixue met at the city gate to compete, that day, thousands of people were empty, and everyone enjoyed a rare competition under the city wall.

At that time, Mo Feixue's tricks were still too immature, even if he had an invisible shadowless sword, he was not as good as Yan Qinghou in the realm. Yan Qinghou's father is a city gate guard, with many years of experience in resisting the enemy, Yan Qinghou followed his father out of the station, and his actual combat experience is far better than Mo Feixue. Mo Feixue, who relied too much on the Shadowless Sword, was defeated after fighting with Yan Qinghou for forty moves, and the Shadowless Sword in his hand could not be condensed and formed, and his neck was held against Yan Qinghou's sword head. After watching this battle, the people in the city were also boiling, and the reputation of the two famous swords, Chopping Iron and Shadowless, spread all over the world in one day's effort.

That night, the two drank freely and asked Qingtian for wine. Mo Feixue said that her swordsmanship was still too weak and not murderous, and she heard that there was a famous swordsman with excellent swordsmanship on the mainland, known as the "Sword Saint". The Sword Saint traveled all over the world, and no one knew his whereabouts, until someone recently discovered that he appeared in the Qi Kingdom. Mo Feixue said that she wanted to learn from the Sword Saint, and when she finished learning, she would come to Yan Qinghou to compete, and at that time, she would not lose as undignified as she did today.

Yan Qinghou also heard of the name of the Sword Saint, and heard that he used to vaporize the sword, and when he came out of the sword, he returned to the sect with ten thousand swords, so as to achieve the real unity of man and sword, and the realm was heard to be the peak of mankind, and he was about to become a god. Yan Qinghou is also a character who does not admit defeat, and he said that he wants to apprentice with Mo Feixue. The two chatted happily, and even fell asleep together after getting drunk. The next day, Mo Feixue woke up and found herself lying in Yan Qinghou's arms, and immediately left Yan Qinghou's house with a red face. After Yan Qinghou woke up, there was no trace of Mo Feixue, and his subordinates said that Mo Feixue was waiting outside the city gate. Yan Qinghou immediately wanted his father to resign, saying that he wanted to train himself, and his father allowed it. Yan Qinghou and Mo Feixue embarked on the road of finding the Sword Saint together.

Along the way, they also met many masters, and five of them became friends and traveled together. In the end, they formed a group of seven people, known as the Seven Swords in the rivers and lakes, and found the Sword Saint in the mountains and forests where they lived, and the Sword Saint saw that they had their own strengths and were sincere in learning the arts, and decided to teach them swordsmanship in their respective fields of expertise. Seven people learn art, and one study is five years.

Five years later, the Sword Saint saw that they had learned something, and suddenly disappeared from people's field of vision, and the seven of them were already close friends of Jin Jian in five years, but there was no banquet in the world, and the news that Jiang Guo was attacked by Qi Guo spread on the land, and Yan Qinghou cared about his homeland and parted ways with others. Mo Feixue decided to return to Shunzhou City with Yan Qinghou.

However, when Yan Qinghou returned to Shunzhou City, all he saw was that his family was ruined and blood flowed.

It turned out that after Jiang was attacked by Qi, Jiang had no time to take care of Liang in the north, and Liang took the opportunity to raise troops to capture Shunzhou. Without the support of reinforcements, Shunzhou finally breached the city gate after holding out for ten days. Yan Qinghou was outside the city gate, and when he saw his father's head hanging from the city gate, he knelt down weakly and kowtowed to his dead father.

Mo Feixue, who was traveling with him, was also shocked by this scene, Liang Guo and Jiang Guo have always been allies, peaceful coexistence, what is the reason for Liang Guo to aim his spear at Jiang Guo? The two rushed into the city and came to the barracks of the Liang Army, and the Liang Army General told the two of them all the reasons, in fact, Liang Guo was also forced to be helpless, and in five years, the northern grasslands decreased, and the cold weather lasted longer and longer. The grain that was originally bought and sold to Jiang Guo was not sold because Jiang Guo wanted to fight with Qi State, so Liang Guo raised troops to the south and contributed to Shunzhou. General Liangguo also said that as long as the non-commissioned officers defending the city gave up resistance and surrendered, they would not kill a single person, but the generals defending the city led the people to defend for ten days, and they had to ......

Hearing this, Yan Qinghou was in pain and left the barracks and walked on the road in the city. The houses on both sides of the road are on fire, and the children who have lost their parents are crying on the ground, and the happy smiling faces of the people back then can no longer be seen. Mo Feixue came out to stop Yan Qinghou, hoping that he could stay in Shunzhou, but Yan Qinghou rejected her, and Yan Qinghou also said that he wanted to avenge the people of Shunzhou and kill the people of Liangguo in this city. Mo Feixue naturally didn't let Yan Qinghou do anything wrong, her words could no longer make Yan Qinghou recover his mind, and the two duel on the city wall of Shunzhou after five years apart. The duel lasted for one night, and the two sides were defeated the next day, losing both. The two were covered in bruises, leaning on the stone wall of the city wall, Mo Feixue looked at the swordsman she had always respected, and now she was blinded by hatred, she lost to Yan Qinghou five years ago, if it weren't for Yan Qinghou losing her mind and paying too much attention to killing moves today, she would not be Yan Qinghou's opponent today.

At daybreak, the people of the city came out of their houses where they were hiding. As the Liangguo general said, they didn't attack the people in the city. The people of Shunzhou saw that Yan Qinghou had returned, but he came back seriously injured, and he came back with anger and dissatisfaction. The people in the city knelt down one after another, telling Yan Qinghou not to fight anymore, save his life, and wait until the day when he could triumph and come back.

Yan Qinghou looked at the people kneeling down under the wall, hugged him with grief and indignation, blood and tears, and the man who experienced the vicissitudes of life in the rivers and lakes left tears for the last time. He wants to leave his hometown to serve the country, make the country strong, and no longer have today's situation.

Looking at Yan Qinghou's distant back, Mo Feixue wanted to stay, but she didn't know how to speak. Yan Qinghou stopped in the distance, turned around and said to her: "Next time, our duel will be about life and death." ”

Ten years later, Yan Qinghou and Mo Feixue met again in Shunzhou City, today, is there really a life and death?

Mo Feixue held the Shadowless Sword, and flew towards Yan Qinghou with a move "Flying Snow Remnant", and the Flying Snow Remnant was like flying snow passing through a gap, silent, but it made people have nowhere to dodge. Yan Qinghou pretended to draw his sword, but he had no intention of defending, he silently withdrew the sword from its scabbard. Mo Feixue saw Yan Qinghou take the sword back into its scabbard, and when the Shadowless Sword was about to name Yan Qinghou's throat, she forcibly withdrew her power without hurting him.

"What do you mean? Didn't you say that the next duel would be yours or me, why didn't you draw your sword?"

"I didn't want to fight you. I fought as a soldier for ten years, traveled to all the borders of Jiang country, and understood what the people really wanted, and I thought that as long as the country was strong, I could get out of the predicament, and it is not until today that I understand that some things cannot be measured by right or wrong. A strong country will eventually attack a weak country because of greed, and this national border separates the homeland on which people depend. You ask me if I'm still human, but I'm also asking myself, I'm here today to find the answer. Back then, the villagers let me triumph and liberate the people, but ten years later, I still haven't been able to do it. Just ask you to believe that no matter what I do in the future, I will not do anything that is sorry for the people of the world. ”

After Yan Qinghou finished speaking, Mo Feixue did not speak again, and the people watching the competition outside the door gradually dispersed after listening to Yan Qinghou's words. Yan Qinghou left the courtyard and came to a restaurant, where his wife and daughter were eating. When his wife saw Yan Qinghou coming, she hurriedly went up to check Yan Qinghou's body, and Yan Qinghou said that she was okay and had dinner with her family. Yan Muran naturally didn't understand what happened to his father and the female swordsman during her meal, she just kept eating mutton with her mouth in her mouth, sighing at the delicacies of this place.

Mo Feixue stood on the city wall, looking into the distance, she sometimes didn't understand that just a wall separates people's borders and isolates people's beliefs and love. Ten years ago, when she and Yan Qinghou returned to Shunzhou together, Mo Feixue actually wanted to show her love to Yan Qinghou, but unfortunately after all, the will of heaven made people, and the country's estrangement wanted to separate the two forever. She touched the city wall, and there was still the sword hatred left over from the duel between her and Yan Qinghou back then. Thousands of thoughts, silent is better than sound, she covered her mouth with a mask, jumped off the city wall, and came to Yan Qinghou's side.

"Don't worry, you will fight a decisive battle with the Qi State in the future, and the Liang Kingdom will definitely not send troops to attack you. I'm here to make up for the regrets I made 10 years ago. Mo Feixue said this in front of Yan Qinghou, and then disappeared into the city.

Watching Mo Feixue disappear, Yan Qinghou smiled with satisfaction. The child said, "Father, that aunt seems to like you." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, children, or your mother will beat you. Yan Qinghou didn't know in his heart that the person who was also an enemy and a friend of himself had a fetter entwined in his heart, but this marriage could not be realized in this life.

At night, Yan Qinghou took the child and slept in his old house. The child slept soundly and did not make noise because of the simplicity of the house. Her wife lay beside him, hugging his waist tightly. As the wife of a man who has fought in all directions and is destined to be on the line, she worries every day about whether her husband will come back. Yan Qinghou looked at his wife, but he didn't dare to say anything in his heart. He is ashamed of his wife, who has selflessly paid so much behind his back, and he has never been able to accompany them. He looked at the somewhat broken roof and thought to himself: My sacrifice is to hope that in the future, there will be no family members who cannot wait for the news of the children coming home, and that the people who love each other will not be separated by racial and national struggles.

It's just that this kind of expectation can be seen in a lifetime.
