"Ningzhou. There is no need for God. ”

The voice was loud, dignified, and majestic.

Yuan Chengchun recognized the voice, so the moment the voice sounded, Yuan Chengchun's face changed, and Ah Cheng, who had been standing by his side all along, also turned his head to look in the direction of the several strong men at that time, and Ah Cheng's eyes lit up. Something she shouldn't be lighting up right now, but it is.

She stared at the place, only to see a figure fall in front of the strong men who had almost reached the threshold of the temple.

Bang!

The muffled sound opened, the sea of clouds above the dome swelled even more, the sky suddenly darkened, and the wind suddenly rose, blowing the onlookers almost unsteadily, and the thunder snake was stirring, like an ultimatum before the wrath of the gods.

The crowd naturally felt the anger from above the dome, and their kneeling spines became more and more bent, and their heads were lowered deeper, and they trembled with fear.

But some people stood up, and they looked at the young man who had stopped in front of the idol, and the fire that had been extinguished was burning in their eyes again in that moment.

But they haven't taken action yet, or the wealth and power accumulated in the family over the years have made them cautious, or they are carrying too many people's lives, and they have to be responsible for themselves and others every step of the way, so what they want in their hearts still needs to be observed before they can be implemented, or they can retreat in a hurry when they can't do anything.

So, they chose to wait and see.

"Presumptuous! The Wupanjiang God entered Ningxiao City and canonized Zhaoyue Zhengshen, which is my Dayan national policy and a benevolent government for the benefit of all people! Wei Lai! You can't rebel!" Yuan Zhichun finally recovered from this incident, and he roared loudly. Han Mi beside him didn't need Yuan Zhichun to say anything, he understood the other party's thoughts, one of his hands stretched out, and with a slight wave, a group of black-armored armor soldiers suddenly stepped out and surrounded Wei Lai who was standing in front of the temple.

Wei Lai stared at the towering statue in front of him, and then at the group of black-armored warriors who surrounded him.

His mind suddenly returned to the conversation he had had in the governor's house two months earlier.

......

"You have to think about what you would do if you were in my situation, how you would do it, how you could do it better than me. ”

"Because in the near future, you will be the real master of this Ningzhou. ”

The old man stared at Wei Lai with a smile and said such a thing.

"Where are you going?" Wei Lai asked rhetorically.

The old man smiled and shook his head: "I'm not going anywhere, but I'm going to die." ”

Wei Lai's brows furrowed at that time, he looked the old man up and down, and asked again, "What's wrong with you?"

"Don't think about it, it's just something that everybody needs to face. No one will not be, sooner or later. I've lived for eighty years, and you're only sixteen, and I'm going to get ahead of you, that's a sure thing. Otherwise, if it is reversed, won't it become a tragedy?" The old man seemed to be in a good mood when he said this, and he winked at Wei Lai.

Of course, Wei Lai couldn't understand why someone could be bored enough to ridicule his life and death, and the fist he hid under his cuffs was clenched by him unconsciously, but he was willing to show his sadness and reluctance in front of the old man at this moment.

"But why me? The son inherits the father's business, do you really regard Ningzhou as your own?" Wei Lai asked again.

His tone was strange, a little tricky, even mean—like a boy with a pile of discontent in his heart, ashamed to reveal his true thoughts, and in the end he could only vent such dissatisfaction through bitter and caustic words.

It's childish and ridiculous, but it's exactly what a sixteen-year-old boy should occasionally have a childlike temper.

"Of course Ningzhou is not my thing, and I don't want anything like that. ”

"But just like you don't believe it, they don't believe that Ningzhou is not mine. And when everyone thinks that this is the case, the facts are no longer important, so Ningzhou has become my thing. ”

"And because Ningzhou is my Ningzhou, after me, there is no one else who can serve the people except you. So, you will be the next master of Ningzhou. This is like Manzhou is to Ah Cheng, even if Chu Lantian has been dead for so many years, Mangzhou still worships Ah Cheng as the co-master. ”

The old man's explanation was simple and clear, which made the young man who had the intention to find fault exert all his strength, but it was like hitting cotton, which made people very discouraged.

"You are you, I am me, why should I take over this mess?" Of course, Wei Lai's words have an element of anger, but what he said is not unreasonable, the current Ningzhou is indeed a mess, the mountains and rivers will absorb half of the luck, and the remaining luck will be slowly eaten away by the Wupanjiang God in the future. The imperial court regards Ningzhou as a thorn in its side, and outside the territory, there are two kingdoms of Chu and Qi eyeing each other, the so-called internal and external troubles, and the enemy on the back of the belly, but that's it. In this way, Ningzhou is held in his hand, and it is not a pity to eat tastelessly, but it is easy to abandon it.

It seems that this is indeed as Wei Lai said, but Ningzhou, a place that is about to become a mess, does not have any need for Wei Lai to take risks.

But this sharp question seemed to be in the old man's arms, and the smile on his face was still there, staring at Wei Lai word by word: "Because, you will definitely stay." ”

"You want revenge, Ningzhou's enemies are your enemies, at least partly, and to another extent, they are. You don't feel like you have no reason to turn down an opportunity that could make your enemies unhappy. ”

"Of course, these are just the results of my powerful relationship, and there are other reasons for me to be more confident that you will leave behind. ”

Wei Lai didn't like the way Jiang Huanshui spoke at this moment, the kind of determination that he knew everything well and was clear made Wei Lai's heart feel a little disgusted for no reason.

But he still couldn't help asking, "What is the reason?" ”

The old man's eyes narrowed into a slit, and under the light of the candle flame, he squinted and looked Wei Lai up and down. Then he whispered, "For you are their son." ”

"Whether you realize it or not, but you're that kind of person...... It's not the same person as your father, your mother, or even me, but it's the same. From the time I saw you again, I was sure of this fact. ”

Wei Lai fell silent, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he was thinking, but the old man didn't urge, just looked at him quietly, waiting for the young man to make the decision that might shake the north after a long time.

"Then what should I do?" the boy asked.

Such an inquiry came quickly, faster than the old man expected, and even the old man himself could not help but be a little surprised. He raised his eyebrows, looked at his grandson, and did not rush to answer his question at the first time, but asked rhetorically: "Such a big matter, so quickly made a decision?"

Wei Lai was silent, just staring at the other party, but he didn't have the slightest intention to respond to the other party.

The old man was also an interesting person, and when he saw that the other party had no intention of answering, he smiled, and then restrained his mind to ask again. Instead, he followed the previous boy's question, and said quietly: "I let you think, not let you ask." ”

"What you want to do depends on what kind of place you want Ningzhou to become, I don't know what Ningzhou looks like in your heart, so I can't answer your question. ”

Wei Lai frowned when he heard this, and muttered, "What kind of place do I make Ningzhou become?"

As soon as he said this, a wry smile appeared on his face, and he shook his head to himself: "How can there be such a simple thing. ”

"Of course it's not easy. The old man took over the conversation, "But as long as you think and do, nothing is impossible." ”

"It's like going back sixty years, in the court of Yandi, from the civil and military officials to the common people of Limin, they don't believe that one day they will be able to get rid of the intrusion of Qi Chu and recover the lost Mangzhou from the hands of Ghost Rong. And these things, which seemed almost fantastical at the time, were just a dream of a scholar and a brocade boy after drinking. ”

Wei Lai was silent again.

But this time it was not speechless, but thoughtful, a serious and never-before-seen thought.

Of course, the old man saw this, and he did not urge, but nodded with satisfaction at that time.

After a long time, the young man's head suddenly raised to look at the old man: "To do great things, you must first be justified." ”

......

"Wei Gongzi is a decent person, and he doesn't want to be too ugly, now I don't want to do anything if I retreat, otherwise the heavy responsibility of plotting treason will fall, Wei Gongzi is protected by the state pastor, and he can't escape this twenty years of border labor. ”

Han Mi squinted his eyes and stared at the young man who stopped in front of the statue, and said in a cold voice, but the corner of his eye glanced away, as if he was afraid of whether there was still an "accomplice" of the young man in front of him. After all, he is Jiang Huanshui's grandson, and what he does represents the meaning of Jiang Huanshui to a certain extent, and the meaning of Jiang Huanshui is the meaning of Ningzhou, and those rioters will inevitably riot along this turbulence. For example, the commander of the Sanxiao Army, who had already stood up at this moment, made Han Mi's brows furrow, and he was afraid in his heart.

And the young man standing at the door of the temple did not move, deaf to Han Mi's loud anger, he tilted his head, his eyes were resolute, and the depths of his pupils reflected the sudden thunder in the sky, he seemed to look at the huge statue carried by the eight giant men, but he seemed to look at the huge figure shuttling through the sea of clouds on the dome.

I said. ”

"Ningzhou, you don't need a god!"

The young man's voice sounded again, just as he had said before, but this time, in these few words, there was a sudden rise of rolling murder.

I only heard a crisp sound, and the snow-white knife light lit up, and the blade was so bright that it was almost dazzling, making it difficult to look at directly.

"Lay down the idol of this evil god, and you may leave. Then the boy whispered coldly.

"What a big breath! Do you really think that this Ningzhou is the Ningzhou you came from?" Yuan Sleevechun on the side didn't have as many worries as Han Mi, in the eyes of His Royal Highness the Prince, Jiang Huanshui had compromised, and the Tianque Realm had already made an alliance with him, and he didn't care about the Jin family now, so why was he afraid of such a yellow-haired child. He scolded angrily, then looked at Han Mi on the side and motioned for the other party to make a move. Ah Cheng, who was standing behind him, frowned, and was about to say something.

But before the words could be spoken, the sword light suddenly surged, and with the support of Wei Lai's majestic spiritual power, a huge white mang like a waterfall poured out of the young man's hand, and the eight strong men standing in front of him were all shocked when they saw this, and subconsciously wanted to dodge sideways, and the huge white mang rushed straight towards the golden and brilliant statue along the gap they avoided.

"You dare!"

Roars rang out, from the mouths of different people at the same time.

A sound came from the commander of the black wolf army, he shouted violently, and the black wolf army surrounding Wei Lai suddenly moved, and rushed straight towards Wei Lai.

And the other sound came from above the dome, a huge head slowly revealed its true face from the surging sea of clouds at that time, he looked down at Wei Lai, the thunder in the sky, the rapid rainstorm also poured towards Wei Lai, the scene like the end was approaching, like the scene when the butterfly fluttered its wings on the execution ground of Wupan City that day......

The young man's hand gripping the hilt of the knife tightened, his knuckles turned white, but the burning fire in his eyes became hotter and hotter, far from being extinguished by the wind and rain.

His action was extremely decisive, far beyond the expectations of anyone present.

Therefore, when the snow-white sword light passed through the wind and rain and split the golden statue in two, it was reflected that Han Mi and the god who showed his true face on the top of his head had not yet killed Wei Lai.

The idol that was cut in two undoubtedly aggravated the emotions surging in the hearts of these two, and the anger immediately rose into murderous intent.

Han Mi's blade came first, and the Seven Divine Gates appeared everywhere around him, and a three-headed black wolf ten feet tall appeared, and the monstrous black qi wrapped in his blade and went straight to Wei Lai's face. This is a killing move, a killing move that is enough to take Wei Lai's life, he has such a ability, and at this moment he has such a reason and determination.

"Wild goose back. ”

But just as all this had come to pass, Yuan Sleeve Chun smiled evilly, and Ah Cheng exclaimed, a vigorous but calm figure suddenly sounded from all directions.

The cyan sword cut through the rain curtain, and where it passed, the raindrops were cut into two parts.

Clang!

With a crunch sound.

The cyan sword light met the billowing black sword qi.

The air wave swept away, and the rain curtain was shattered under the air wave, turning into invisible fog and spreading out layer upon layer.

Han Mi's face changed, and under the vibration of the blade, he only felt that his tiger mouth was numb.

"Who!?" he shouted, his eyes warily looking around the fog.

In response, he was greeted with the same whisper as before: "General Joan." ”

A white sword suddenly lit up directly in front of Han Mi, and then shot straight out at an astonishing speed.

Han Mi's pupils dilated suddenly at that moment, and he felt the majestic power wrapped in the white sword, he didn't dare to hold it up, and hurriedly put the long knife in his hand across his chest.

Clang!

There was another crisp sound, and the white sword light hit Han Mi's blade heavily.

Han Mi's face turned pale, a mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out of his mouth, and his body retreated a few steps, and it was not easy to surround his figure. The surrounding armor soldiers hurriedly surrounded Han Mi who fell to the ground, Han Mi sat up with difficulty, but his eyes looked gloomily at a certain place in the mist, where a figure was slowly coming, but the fog that rose from the rain was too heavy, and Han Mi could not see the other party's face clearly, so he could only ask in a cold voice: "Who is Your Excellency?"

The man stretched out a hand and went over his head, and the two blue and white sword rays hanging above Han Mi's head trembled at that time, and then suddenly escaped back to the sword box behind the comer.

"Tiangang Mountain, Cao Tunyun. ”

Hearing this, Han Mi's face became more and more ugly, and Yuan Zhichun behind him also looked depressed, but he tried his best to maintain his demeanor as a prince, his hands behind his back, looking at the figure that gradually became clear in the mist and asked: "What?

As soon as this question came out, another figure appeared next to the old man, and the man said with a playful face: "That guy is my godson." ”

"Your Highness is in charge of Your Highness's state affairs, and I am in charge of my family affairs, everyone is justified, why not?"

......

Of course, Ao Xiu sensed the change beside him, but he didn't care.

Those guys are mortals, and they are ants, and the difference between a useful ant or a useless ant is not a useful ant, a stronger ant or a weak ant that is not worth mentioning, but no matter what, an ant is an ant.

His eyes were fixed on the young man in front of him at that time, and the scorching fire rose in his huge pupils.

Six years ago, letting this child survive from that big water became the most regrettable thing in Ao Xiu's heart at this moment, the duel at the head of Wupan City, he was seriously injured, and the black water of the underworld that he had cultivated for decades was taken away; and that kid also planted some kind of vicious exercise in his body, which made him suffer a heavy blow at the important juncture of ascending to the Holy Realm a few months ago; at this moment, he can finally enter Ningxiao City and become the true Zhaoyue God of Ningzhou, but this kid is ......

It seems that all the things in this world that embarrass Ao Xiu are related to this guy in front of him, but who is he, he is Ao Xiu, he is a desolate species, and he is a god of the waters, how can he be bullied by such a yellow-haired boy repeatedly, thinking of the murderous rush in Ao Xiu's heart here, he roared angrily, and the thunder in the sky stirred, enveloping the wind and rain around him, and he went straight towards Wei Lai to kill the past.

That kind of scene was far more terrifying than being surrounded and killed by nearly a hundred black wolf troops, and the surrounding people were even more shocked by this scene, and their mouths let out bursts of exclamations.

But the boy at the center of the storm did not panic at all, he slowly pulled something out of his bosom, held it high and stretched it out to the dome, to the black god who had slain from the sky.

"I act in accordance with the secret edict of the state pastor!!

"Ao Xiu, you dare to hurt me!!"
