The genius was bright, the raindrops were ticking, and the streets outside the courtyard gate were full of Cangyu guards.

Xue Xinghu stood at the window and looked outside, secretly thinking in his heart that since Lu Guanshan's death, it had not rained in Wupan City for a long time.

"Brother Alai, when will he get better. A whispered inquiry came from behind her.

Xue Xinghu turned his head and looked inside the door.

A green cow was lying on the ground, and Aunt Zhang, who had woken up, was scrubbing the dirty blood on its body. But the scabbed wound of the green cow was still shocking, if it weren't for the continuous undulation of its chest, Xue Xinghu would really think that the green cow was dead. Of course, although it is alive now, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it should not have much time left.

Wei Lai reached out and touched Liu Qingyan's head, the two horns on her head were wrapped in gauze by her, and it could be seen that the little girl still minded her heart for such an abnormality. Wei Lai smiled and said, "It'll be fine, but we have to come step by step." ”

Liu Qingyan had doubts, but still frowned and nodded.

Wei Lai turned his head to look at Xue Xinghu behind him, smiled at him, and walked out of the door. Xue Xinghu understood what he meant, and hurriedly followed, leaving this room to Liu Qingyan and the others.

......

"I'll just say that the little boy is talented and intelligent, and the county magistrate is honest and loves the people, how could the little boy become a fool, it seems that we ordinary people are clumsy. Xue Xinghu and Wei Lai walked side by side on the corridor of Yunlai Academy, and he sighed like this.

Zhao Gongbai probably wanted to leave some ancestral business in this Wupan City, and there was a way out in the future, and when he left, he sold the Zhao family's property to the left, but only left this academy. Xue Xinghu's reputation in Wupan City was not bad, so he handed over this academy to Xue Xinghu to take care of, but he probably couldn't imagine that now the Zhao family couldn't go to Wuyi, and he couldn't return to Yun.

There is an annex in the back courtyard of Yunlai Academy, because of the growth of trees, the entrance of the courtyard is covered by grass and trees, and it is difficult for unfamiliar people to find it, so Xue Xinghu settled them here after receiving Wei Lai and others, in order to find a way back.

"Thank you. Wei Lai glanced up at Xue Xinghu and said in a low voice.

Xue Xinghu smiled, a little helpless and a little bitter: "The Liu family has a life-saving grace for my father, I think that if I watch them die there, I guess I will see them every night when I close my eyes in the future." As soon as I thought of this, I panicked, and after thinking about it, I decided to take a risk, but these brothers under my command gave me face and were willing to help me, and saving the little boy can only be said to be an accident. ”

Wei Lai understood what he meant, he nodded, and fell silent.

"By the way, I heard Sun Daren say that Jinliu Mountain is going to flood Wupan City? Xue Xinghu asked suddenly.

"The calculations of the people above are too complicated for me to understand, but I can guarantee that this is indeed the case. Not only did they want to flood the city of Wupan, but they also wanted the lives of these 4,000 families. Wei Lai responded.

But perhaps he said such a terrifying thing too calmly, so that even after hearing such words, Xue Xinghu was still stunned, and even felt that Wei Lai was joking with him.

At this time, a man suddenly rushed over from the gate of the courtyard, came to Xue Xinghu's side with an anxious face, and said something in his ear, and then hurriedly retreated. And after hearing this, Xue Xinghu's face became extremely ugly. Anger, unwillingness, and a little fear all surged up on the middle-aged man's eyebrows at that time.

Wei Lai noticed this strangeness, he stopped, and stared at Xue Xinghu in place.

Xue Xinghu stood silently for a while, the rain outside the corridor was still dripping, and the rain became more and more silent in the courtyard under the sound of rain.

Qian Xugui died, and his body was hung outside the city gate. ”

"His wife and children are being hung in front of the prefect's mansion at the moment......"

He said in a muffled voice, his hands hanging down, his fists clenched tightly.

Wei Lai was stunned when he heard this, and then fell silent.

......

"Miss Ah Cheng, let me tell you, the situation last night was extremely critical, those Cangyu guards had not one thousand but eight hundred, and the entire dungeon was impenetrable. But my good brother Wei Lai is in prison, I can't ignore it, of course I'm not saying that Miss Ah Cheng is not important, after all, I didn't know that Miss Ah Cheng was in it at that time, right?"

"I just thought, there are so many people, you can't force them, you can only outwit them. I slapped my head and guess what!"

Sun Daren followed behind Ah Cheng like a fart, startled and talking non-stop, not noticing the face of the woman next to him.

After seeing Ah Cheng, Sun Daren changed the court, leaving Lu Yan'er behind, and the whole person circled around Ah Cheng, but it seems that it was destined in the dark, Sun Dagongzi has to have a difficult road in his life, he is hot with his shaved head, and he always feels that sincerity is open.

Suddenly, Ah Cheng, who was walking in front, stopped, Sun Daren was stunned, looked up, and caught a glimpse of Wei Lai and Xue Xinghu standing not far away. Sun Daren was about to greet them, but at that time......

Xue Xinghu, who was silent for a while, seemed to have suddenly made an extremely important decision, his clenched fist suddenly released, and then he turned around and was about to walk in the direction of the courtyard gate.

"Are you going to save them?" Wei Lai's voice rang out at that time.

Xue Xinghu didn't speak, but the pace under his feet became faster and faster, and in a blink of an eye, he walked through the corridor and into the rain curtain.

Wei Lai frowned, his figure burst out, and a hand stretched out to pat Xue Xinghu's shoulder, but at this moment, a sharp knife light suddenly lit up from Xue Xinghu's hand, he turned around suddenly, and the knife light slashed straight at Wei Lai through the rain curtain.

Wei Lai's eyes froze, the black python in the cuff fell into his hand, the eight divine blood in his body worked, and the strength of his whole body poured into the right hand holding the dagger.

Clang!

With a crisp sound, Wei Lai's figure retreated violently, and his prescription stagnated only when he was a foot away.

"You!?" Sun Daren on the side suddenly showed surprise when he saw this, he couldn't understand why the two people who were obviously supposed to be standing together suddenly moved their hands, and he opened his mouth to say something. But Ah Cheng, who was on the side, suddenly stretched out his hand and stopped Sun Daren.

Sun Daren was stunned for a moment, and looked at Ah Cheng suspiciously, but the girl looked at the two people in the rain curtain, and said softly: "You shouldn't interfere in their affairs." ”

Sun Daren was puzzled and was about to ask a question, but the two in the rain curtain had a new change.

......

"You're going to die. Wei Lai stood still, holding the black python's right arm trembling a little.

Xue Xinghu's whole body had been drenched by the rain, and there was a flash of anger in his gaze staring at Wei Lai, but it was suppressed by him in an instant, he was still holding the knife, and a powerful aura was circulating around him, and a white divine gate without any divine pattern lit up in his chest, and he couldn't help but roar.

"He died because of me, and I can't let his wife and children die there too. Xue Xinghu gritted his teeth and said, the breath coming out of the tip of his nose was heavy, as if he was trying his best to suppress something.

"So you also have to go with him to die, die in front of his wife and children, are you worthy of him?" Wei Lai whispered.

Xue Xinghu glanced at Wei Lai deeply, and said in a muffled voice, "You don't understand." ”

After saying that, he turned around and stepped away, Wei Lai saw this, his eyes narrowed and his body rushed again, Xue Xinghu, who sensed this, suddenly surged with a strong evil qi from his eyebrows, the vigorous roar in his chest, his body turned to Wei Lai suddenly, and the long knife in his hand was raised, this time he used seven points of strength to slash straight at Wei Lai.

It's just that when the sharp blade slashed down from top to bottom, it was no longer Wei Lai's black dagger that greeted him, but his head!

Yes, Wei Lai just stood motionless in front of Xue Xinghu like that, without any defense, as if waiting for Xue Xinghu to take his life.

Xue Xinghu's heart was shocked, his face showed shock, and he hurriedly wanted to withdraw the strength in his hand. But this knife has been achieved, and it is not easy to unload the power in an instant.

Rao is Xue Xinghu and tried his best to regain his strength, but the sharp blade still kept running towards the head of the future.

The long hair in front of Wei Lai's forehead was swept up by the knife wind, several strands of hair were cut off, and fell flutteringly, Xue Xinghu was frightened and used all his strength, and finally let the knife stop at a distance of only a few millimeters from Wei Lai's eyebrows, his face was pale, his mouth was panting heavily, and his gaze at Wei Lai was both puzzled and afraid.

"If you want to kill me, why don't you do it?" Wei Lai asked calmly with squinted eyes, as if he didn't realize that he had just walked outside the Ghost Gate.

Hearing this, Xue Xinghu's hand holding the knife tightened again, as if he was struggling for something.

"Come on, kill me!" But at this moment, Wei Lai suddenly let out a loud shout, and the thin young man seemed to have turned into a lion at that moment, he stared at Xue Xinghu, and there was fire burning in his eyes.

Xue Xinghu's body shook.

"Ah!!h

He let out an indefatigable roar, and the knife he was holding fell again with all his might.

"Ah Lai!" Sun Daren let out an exclamation and was about to step forward, but Ah Cheng on the side pulled him back. Sun Daren didn't have the heart to feel the temperature from Ah Cheng's palm at this time, he wanted to break free, but the woman's hand was like a thousand jun, and it was difficult to get rid of it with his Wuyang Realm's fivefold cultivation, even if there was a dragon lock on the girl's hands at this moment that could lock the cultivation.

Clang!

A crisp sound exploded, Sun Daren's heart was cold, and he turned his head to look.

But seeing Xue Xinghu's red eyes, panting heavily, the long knife fell, but Wei Lai did not lose a single point - his knife was still split elsewhere after all, and the bluestone paved ground was broken, and the stones were splashed.

Wei Lai looked sideways at the man who was wet with rain and his face dripping with rain or mixed with something, and said softly: "You can't kill the person standing in front of you, so stupid, what do you use to save people?"

Xue Xinghu suddenly turned his head sideways to look at Wei Lai, and he didn't know whether it was the indifference on the young man's face or the mockery in his eyes that stung him at this time, he was puzzled by the ruthlessness of the young man, and he was also angry at his light breeze at this moment.

"He died to save you. He whispered, gasping for breath and a hoarse voice, like the roar of a wild beast.

"And then?" Wei Lai asked, raising an eyebrow, his tone flirtatious and mocking.

"Then, you ask me?" Xue Xinghu stared at Wei Lai incredulously, he couldn't imagine that someone would treat his savior like this. In the end, he smiled self-deprecatingly: "I shouldn't have saved your ...... in the first place."

"You didn't intend to save me, did you?" Wei Lai narrowed his eyes.

"Of course, why should I save you!?you!Your father!And that Lu Guanshan!are all disaster stars!" Xue Xinghu's face swelled with evil anger, and his tone suddenly became high-pitched and unscrupulous.

"You have to do great things! You have to be heroes! Where can't you go? Some of the barbarian cultivators in Manzhou are ghosts, and there are many demon clans in the north! You don't want to! You want to show your strength in this Wupan City, in the place where we have lived for generations!"

"What a magnificent! Tear down the temple and slay the dragon king! In the end, they died cleanly, but why should we be buried together! We are all ordinary people, we can't figure out the rights and wrongs of your big people, we just want to live, just like our ancestors have lived for generations! Is this also wrong? Why do you have to choose us? You must anger the dragon king and the court? Why do we, the 4,000 families, want to accompany you for your great cause and be famous for a hundred years!

"Tell me!Why!?"

His voice was loud, without the slightest hint of concealment.

Liu Qingyan and Aunt Zhang pushed open the door, and those officials who rescued Xue Xinghu last night and were practicing in the room at this moment were also awakened, and walked to the corridor, looking at the old and young people standing in the heavy rain.

Wei Lai didn't stop Xue Xinghu's yelling, he kept squinting his eyes, staring at the man who looked a little crazy, until he finished venting the anger in his heart, Wei Lai opened his mouth and whispered, "Why? I'll tell you why." ”

As soon as he said this, a hand suddenly stretched out and grabbed Xue Xinghu's neck, lifted and threw his body, and smashed it to the ground.

Xue Xinghu, who was in pain, reacted and subconsciously wanted to stand up, but Wei Lai's foot stepped on his chest at that time. He looked condescendingly at the man who was two rounds older than himself, and said in a cold voice, "Because you are too stupid!"

Wei looked at the crowd in the corridor again, and then his voice increased several times: "You are all too stupid!"

He lowered his head, looked directly at the angry Xue Xinghu, and continued: "Ningzhou has a territory of thousands of miles, with two hundred and seventy-one large and small towns, totaling nearly three million households. There are 123 cities along the Wupan River, with a total of 1.26 million households. Occupy half of Ningzhou!"

"But you go to Ningxiao City's Hanxing list and take a look, the list of 10,000 people, how many people can be on the list of half of Ningzhou?"

"You go and ask again, what kind of place is the Boundless Academy! The Confucian students in the world are three out of the green and the seven out of the boundless Academy! Even if the top of the list in Ningzhou is squeezed out of his head, he may not be able to let others take a look! But why can Zhao Tianyan, who is ranked outside the seven hundred, go? Lu Yan'er can go?"

"You don't even know why, do you?"

"I'll tell you!Because there is a big river called Wupan River next to you, and there is an old snake named Wupan Dragon King living in the river!"

"He is receiving your incense, but he eats away at your luck and spirit, and you worship him as a god!

"My father and Lu Guanshan, the Yan Ting Shuangbi of Dayan, do you know what the Yan Ting Shuangbi is? That is enough to push open the Eight Divine Gates, open a sect, and call the Holy Ancestor! After his death, the ancestral temple of the elders of the Great Yan Emperor must also respectfully invite them to settle in the Yin God, enjoy the luck of the Great Yan Society, and the Great Yan will not be destroyed, they will be thousands of generations!"

"But now? Where are they? They are buried in the mound, and they dare not even erect a tombstone! Why do you ask me? Why? I also want to ask you why they want to bury themselves under the loess for the sake of you 4,000 fools, and they don't want to enjoy the incense for all generations, but they want to be buried under the loess, and they are insulted and accused by you!"

Wei Lai's words stopped suddenly.

He stared at the man whose eyes were gradually extinguished, and his stunned expression suddenly hooked up a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he whispered in a low voice.

"But that's okay, you don't have to be afraid. ”

"Even if you're stupid to death, I'll just do you. ”

"For your lives are bought for theirs. ”

With that, the boy let go of his foot on the man, and he turned around at that moment, glanced at the woman with her hands folded around her chest, and then walked out of the courtyard.

The rain was heavier, and the boy's thin body walked forward in the heavy rain.

Xue Xinghu, who sat up in embarrassment, looked at the back, and in a trance he seemed to see it again, that day, on the execution ground, the lonely and persistent butterfly.
