Chapter 317: Thorn

Mu Chen strode into the lobby, saw the Zhang family brothers gathered together, saw Zhang Qianli wiping away tears, and said with a smile, "It seems that I came at the wrong time"

Zhang Qianzhong stood up and said with a smile, "What's the matter, a few of us are about to go back, if we play for a while, then we may not be able to see us."

Mu Chen glanced at Zhang Qianli and said, "Zhang Shangshu, why are you crying?"

Zhang Qianli said, "I'm just too tired," he tried to make himself look calm, but the tears on his face didn't look like yawning, especially when he looked at Mu Chen, there was a hint of resentment.

Mu Chen understood what he meant, and laughed and said, "Since that's the case, then you should have a good rest"

Zhang Qianzhong smiled and said, "Mu Shaoxia doesn't have a good rest, come and see what we people are doing?"

Mu Chen arched his hand and said, "I'm for the clouds...... The prince came."

Zhang Qianzhong squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "It should be, it should be"

Mu Chen said, "Since General Zhang has said so, he must understand my intention."

Zhang Qianli immediately answered: "Your Excellency, isn't it here to buy people's hearts for the crown prince?"

Mu Chen smiled slightly, lowered his head, and touched his nose, which meant like a default.

Zhang Qianli smiled and said, "In this case, then Your Excellency, please go back, we will not do what Your Excellency wants."

Mu Chen ignored him and said to Zhang Qianzhong, "General Zhang, what do you think?"

Zhang Qianli sank his face and said, "My eldest brother doesn't have any opinions"

Zhang Qianzhong glared at him, said, "Shut up" and turned to Mu Chen, "Mu Shaoxia, in my opinion, everything should be good to follow nature"

Mu Chen smiled and went along with nature, that is, no matter what happened, they would accept it.

This is exactly what Mu Chen wanted, so he was very happy and laughed and said, "Okay, since that's the case, then I'll rest assured, it's not too early, Mu Chen will retire"

Zhang Qianzhong smiled and said, "Okay, go slowly"

Everyone watched Mu Chen leave, and Zhang Qianli suddenly said angrily, "Big brother, do you want to betray the master?"

Zhang Qianzhong's face immediately darkened, snorted coldly, and turned to leave.

No matter how Zhang Qianli called, Zhang Qianzhong ignored him.

The other Zhang brothers also gradually left, and no one comforted Zhang Qianli, and no one was willing to stand on the same team with him, because in their eyes, Zhang Qianzhong's position was his own position.

In the entire lobby, there were only two people left.

Zhang Qianli's eyes were full of despair, and he looked at Zhang Qianzhi and said, "Second brother, they are all gone"

Zhang Qianzhi was writing on the desk, and when he heard this sentence, he had just finished writing, and he put down his pen and was about to leave.

Zhang Qianli walked to the desk and saw that the rice paper on the desk read, "Those who are loyal to the minister, those who are loyal to the king are loyal, and those who are loyal to their sons are also loyal"

Zhang Qianli suddenly turned around and called Zhang Qianzhi "second brother"

Zhang Qianzhi stopped, but did not look back.

Zhang Qianli said: "Mu Chen has already looked for the second brother, hasn't he?"

Zhang Qianzhi said, "He has already visited me in Jianguo Temple"

Zhang Qianli said, "What did he say to the second brother?"

Zhang Qianzhi turned around and looked at him, but did not answer.

Zhang Qianli said, "I know, it was the promise given to him by the second brother, promising that we would be loyal to the prince, so the prince's party dared to do this, right?"

Zhang Qianzhi still didn't answer.

Zhang Qianli said, "It must be, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to ignore you when he came just now."

Zhang Qianzhi said, "Qianli, in the affairs of this country, we as courtiers sometimes don't ask too much, because no matter who is the lord, we are all ministers, not to mention that the current country really needs a monarch who can accommodate us."

After that, he left without looking back.

Zhang Qianli was the only one left, looking at the more than ten words on the table, and suddenly knelt on his knees and cried bitterly.

The night is getting darker and the moon is getting darker, and it looks like it's going to snow again tonight.

Mu Chen's heart was full of joy, because he felt that he had solved a big problem for Sima Yunxuan.

So he decided to treat himself and walked towards the hotel.

It's late at night, and it's time for most people to go to bed.

Sima Yunxuan had been tired all day, and now he was lying on the bed, asleep.

Jin Caiyu took off his makeup and was about to go to bed, when he saw that Sima Yunxuan was already asleep, he smiled slightly, pulled the quilt for him, and then lay on the bed himself.

The lights go out. Snow falls.

In the snowy night, a dark shadow was moving rapidly. He ran towards the Prince's Mansion.

When I arrived at the gate of the Prince's Mansion, I looked around, jumped up the wall of the house, and climbed into the courtyard.

The Nightcrawler could have made him look hidden in the dark, but the snow lit up his body.

He walked with his face masked, sword in hand, and hurried.

In the end, he stopped in front of Sima Yunxuan's window, and saw through the window that Sima Yunxuan and his wife were already asleep, so he slowly opened the window and rolled into the room.

Standing beside Sima Yunxuan's bed, he looked at the sleeping Sima Yunxuan, with murderous intent in his eyes.

The sword slowly unsheathed, silent, like impermanence about to take human life.

He raised his sword and aimed it at Sima Yunxuan's heart, and was about to stab it down with a sword, when he suddenly heard two screams.

The two screams were both Jincai's screams, she felt a little cold, and wanted to see if the window was closed, but when she opened her eyes, she saw a man in black holding a sword, so she instinctively screamed.

The second scream was hesitation and severe pain, and the man in black saw that he was exposed, and immediately stabbed the sword without hesitation, but Jin Caiyu immediately pounced, and Sima Yunxuan was not injured, but Jin Caiyu's shoulder was stabbed with a sword.

Sima Yunxuan was woken up by two screams, and when he opened his eyes, he was startled and kicked at the man in black.

The man in black was frightened, hurriedly dodged, the sword was pulled out, and Jin Caiyu screamed again, and then passed out.

Sima Yunxuan shouted, "Pick the language, pick the language" He immediately shouted, "Come on, come on"

Seeing that the assassination could not be achieved, the man in black immediately retreated through the window.

His body is very fast, Sima Yunxuan will never be able to catch up, so Sima Yunxuan did not chase it, if he did, maybe he would be ambushed.

The man in black quickly climbed out of the prince's mansion and prepared to run into the dark alley.

Just as he was about to enter the alley, he suddenly stopped because he saw a person slowly walking out of the alley.

The person who came out was Mu Chen, holding a sword in his left hand and a wine jug in his right hand.

Mu Chen saw the blood on the sword of the man in black, thinking that it was Sima Yunxuan's assassination, a burst of anger attacked his heart, his whole body trembled, and he said coldly, "Who sent you?"

The man in black was about to jump onto the roof, but was stopped by Mu Chen's throwing of the wine jar and returned to the ground.

The man in black was about to run away again, but suddenly saw that the lights were shining not far away, and Bian Xiaofeng had already walked over, blocking his back road.

The man in black was about to walk to both sides, but he saw a bright steel knife on the left, facing him.

Guo Feng has already arrived.

On the other side of the alley, a person also slowly walked in. This person was short in stature, but his face was full of murderous intent, and he exuded a terrifying aura from his body.

It's Shi VII.

The man in black saw that he was surrounded on all sides, and was about to climb onto the roof again, but before he could act, he saw a pile of snow falling from the roof, and when he looked up, Bai Chutian was already standing on the roof, and the soul-seeking thorn in his hand was swimming at his fingertips like a swimming dragon, ready to take people's lives at any time.

The man in black finally didn't move, he already understood that today he had no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth.

Bian Xiaofeng said, "Big brother, third brother is fine"

When Mu Chen heard this, he put his mind at ease, stared at the man in black, and said, "Let me ask you again, who sent you?"

The man in black laughed and said, "I came by myself, some people can't get used to Sima Yunxuan's dictatorship, so they specially came to eliminate harm for the people."

Mu Chen listened to this person's voice and was a little familiar, and said, "Li Yanguang?"

The man in black laughed, took off the black mask, revealing Li Yanguang's face, and said, "Muchen, I've finally waited for this day."

Mu Chen sneered, "I didn't expect you to die in such a hurry"

Li Yanguang said, "It's not terrible to die, I'm alive like this, it's better to die"

Mu Chen didn't understand what he meant.

Li Yanguang said, "You know that I could have become a disciple of the Divine Monk, the leader of the Beggar Gang, and even the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, but these were all destroyed by you."

Mu Chen sneered, "That's your own injustice"

Li Yanguang laughed and said, "That's right, I'm really not human, but I'm not convinced, so I worshiped Xiangtianzong Lin Hongyue and took me to find your sword book in Wutai Mountain, I studied hard, and finally succeeded, I wanted to find you for revenge, I had to please Lin Hongyue, I even sent my own wife out, I did all this to be able to kill you with my own hands"

Mu Chen looked at him, a look of pity suddenly appeared in his eyes, and said, "You are really crazy"

Li Yanguang said, "I'm really crazy, I know that this swordsmanship is subtle and can't be achieved quickly, so I only practiced one move, and I can defeat you if I practice one move, but the last time I saw you shoot, I knew that I couldn't beat you, and now you won't be stupid to fight with me alone, and I also know that I have no way out now, so I decided not to resist"

After that, he literally dropped his sword on the snow, and then spread his arms, ready to die, as if a strong man were going to die.

Mu Chen stared at him and said, "Does Lin Hongyue know about this?"

Li Yanguang closed his eyes and said, "He knew that I couldn't beat you, so he didn't allow me to come, but I still came."

Mu Chen sighed, and suddenly felt that the bastard in front of him was also a little backbone.

Li Yanguang said, "Also, I haven't passed on this sword technique, I have destroyed the sword spectrum in the stone cave, this sword technique is only known to you in the world, you killed me, just to keep this secret"

After hearing this, Mu Chen did not have any expression on his face.

After a while, Li Yanguang said, "Why don't you do it yet?"

Mu Chen: "Pick up your sword"

Li Yanguang smiled and said, "No need"

Mu Chen said, "Don't you want to compete with me?"

Li Yanguang opened his eyes, Huo Ran looked at Mu Chen, and said, "Really?"

Mu Chen nodded, and said, "Those who practice swordsmanship, if they die under this swordsmanship, no matter who they are, they will not lose."

Li Yanguang stared at Mu Chen, laughed after a moment, picked up his sword, and said, "Okay"

Mu Chen said, "No one else is allowed to do anything, how about you and I solve it with one move?"

Li Yanguang said, "Which move?"

Mu Chen smiled slightly and said, "The trick you are most familiar with"

Li Yanguang's face also showed a smile and said, "Okay"

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and both of them had snow on their hair and hands, but they were both motionless.

Although this move chasing clouds and lightning is short, it is the most powerful move in the Guiyun swordsmanship, and it can take people's lives in an instant, so neither of them dares to be careless.

A cold wind blew, Li Yanguang was wearing thin, and suddenly shook, Mu Chen seized the opportunity and quickly attacked.

Seeing this, Li Yanguang immediately attacked, and the two swords were unsheathed at the same time, and the two figures were suddenly united and separated.

Bian Xiaofeng's hand was already holding the hilt of the sword, and if Mu Chen was injured, he would immediately step forward to kill Li Yanguang.

Mu Chen and Li Yanguang have already separated, back to back, and the move just now is enough for the two to distinguish the winner and loser.

The moment the sparks burst out, everything was settled.

With a "bang", Li Yanguang knelt on the ground, but Mu Chen was still standing, and his sword was still stained with blood.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Mu Chen walked up to Li Yanguang and put away his sword. Li Yanguang knelt in front of Mu Chen, raised his sword, and handed it to Mu Chen with both hands.

Mu Chen was about to step forward to accept it, but as soon as his hand touched the sword, Li Yanguang suddenly exerted his strength and grabbed Mu Chen's hand, so that Mu Chen couldn't let go, so he had to hold the sword.

Li Yanguang smiled, and with his backhand, he stabbed the sword into his abdomen.

Mu Chen was startled, and hurriedly tried to let go of the sword, but Li Yanguang didn't let go, still looking at Mu Chen and smiling.

As soon as he opened his mouth, blood flowed from his mouth, and he only heard him say slowly, "Sima...... Sima Shao"

Mu Chen said, "The emperor sent you?"

Li Yanguang didn't answer, lowered his head, closed his eyes, and left this world quietly.

This person, who has been the enemy of Mu Chen all his life, finally ended his life with Mu Chen's hand, which indeed fulfills the sentence "The greatest joy of fate is that everything is so mysterious!"

Mu Chen let go of his sword and quietly looked at Li Yanguang's corpse.

Everyone gathered, Bian Xiaofeng looked at Li Yanguang's corpse, and said, "Big brother, you're not injured."

Mu Chen said, "No," he paused, and said, "He's still smart."

Bian Xiaofeng said, "What do you mean?"

Mu Chen said, "His chasing clouds and electricity is faster than mine and ruthlesser than mine."

Bai Chutian said, "But the boss still won"

Mu Chen let out a long sigh and said, "Collect his body well and bury it well."

Guo Feng said, "Yes"

Mu Chen turned to leave, not glancing at Li Yanguang's corpse, but his eyes were moist.

He really couldn't imagine that the person he used to look down on the most would actually make his heart feel admiration.

With just one move, Li Yanguang can indeed kill Mu Chen, because although Mu Chen's internal strength is very thick, this sword move is not as good as Li Yanguang, who specializes in this move.

There is a sequence of hearing the Tao, and there is a specialization in the art industry.

Presumably, this is the same reasoning.

Mu Chen sighed lightly and muttered, "It doesn't have to be like this"

Li Yanguang knew that he would die, so he was willing to die. But he didn't expect that Mu Chen would agree to a duel with him, not only fulfilling his life's wish, but also giving him the last dignity.

Li Yanguang also knew that he was sorry for Mu Chen, so he had to let Mu Chen kill him with his own hands, which could be regarded as a kind of reward for Mu Chen.

No matter how much hatred there is between people, they should not put each other to death.

Killing your enemies is not a success, but making your enemies admire you and die for you is the real success.

At the same time, it also tells us that even if we treat the enemy, we must give dignity to the other person, because only if your opponent has dignity, your victory will have dignity!
