Huang Dafu was already walking vigorously, following behind the water snake beauty, Long Xi smiled and said, "Why are you walking so fast."
Huang Dafu pointed to the slender water snake beauty in front of him and said, "She goes fast, I have to follow her."
Long Xi saw that he was about to be next to the beauty, and sighed: "That's inevitably too tight."
Tian Xiaoye walked beside Long Xi, looked at Huang Dafu not far in front, also pursed his lips and smiled, and said crisply: "You, you are about to bump into others."
Huang Dafu hurriedly turned his head, and sure enough, his prime minister's belly had already reached the thin waist of the water snake beauty, and the water snake woman didn't even look back, as if she didn't take it seriously.
Huang Dafu grabbed his hair, smiled, turned his head and said: "Only then can I feel safe, you all hurry up, I'm a little sleepy."
The road is straight, and it is not far away, and they have now arrived at a mansion, which is not very special, and it is no different from some mansions in the Central Plains, with a three-story building on each side of the house, and a five-story building in the middle, and flowers on both sides of the house.
It's just that there seem to be more flowers here, and there are small bright red flowers on the road, and the garden is full of large flowers, without exception, bright red red flowers.
The water snake beauty took the three of them straight to the five-story building in the middle, the house is also bright red, bright red walls, flower-colored doors, the door is open, there are two people sitting in the door, a middle-aged man with a long beard and a golden robe, a middle-aged man with a red face, his face is full of smiles, this is a smile that has grown up in a strict environment of etiquette for a long time, his smile is not a flattering smile, but a forgiving smile, a kind smile, like a parent's smile on their children.
He sat in a large chair, and although he tried his best to be kind between his eyebrows, he could not hide his usual lofty bearing.
The other person, Long Xi, had already recognized him, and one of his faces was always cold, no matter how others laughed, he would never smile. Wu Hanjiang sat there expressionlessly, facing this kind long-haired man.
There was a round table in front of them, on which was a pot of tea, and they were talking in whispers, as if talking about something.
Long Xi saw him from afar, Huang Dafu walked in the front, and now he waved to him, he waved for a long time without responding, turned to look at Long Xi, frowned and said: "Your friend is really weird."
Long Xi coughed lightly and said, "You will know his benefits in the future."
Although Wu Hanjiang didn't move, the man in the long bearded gold robe sitting next to him was already busy catching up, and Huang Dafu smiled happily: "Look at people, how polite."
Long Xi didn't reply to his words, he just shook his head helplessly, the long-haired man had already arrived, and this man was like a water snake beauty, going straight to Longxi, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and said politely: "This must be the friend of Wu Gongzi?"
Long Xi nodded and saluted: "It's right down there."
The long-haired man smiled: "Sure enough, he has an extraordinary bearing, and he is also the owner of this small mansion." So saying, he led them all into the hall.
Long Xi looked around the hall, looked at the clump of red flowers outside the hall, and exclaimed: "What a magnificent house, Mr. Tan likes red very much?"
Tan Wulang glanced at the bright red flowers outside, and said eloquently: "I don't like it lightly, but this safflower variety comes from Tubo and is a particularly drought-resistant plant, plus there is no ......rain here all year round."
Long Xi suddenly dissipated the fog and said, "So that's the case, Mr. Tan really has a heart."
Tan Wulang said humbly: "It's not out of interest to move here."
Long Xi originally wanted to know why he lived in such a remote place, and he didn't know how to open his mouth for a while, but he didn't expect him to say it himself, Long Xi followed his words, and continued: "I want to hear about it."
Tan Wulang said slowly: "Just because there is an enemy in the Central Plains, the martial arts are really powerful, and there are a large number of people, I can't live in this barren and populated place."
He sighed, and then continued: "And this enemy is by no means a personal vendetta, but a public hatred."
"Public hatred", Long Xi repeated in a low voice, staring at Tan Wulang, Tan Wulang casually picked up the tea on the table, drank it to the end, and sighed: "Yes, public hatred, to be precise, it is a national hatred."
"National enmity", Long Xi was slightly taken aback, stared at Tan Wulang and said, "Could it be that Your Excellency is a member of the royal family."
Tan Wulang shook his head, his eyes looked out of the door in a daze, a ray of light was reflected in his eyes, flashing and flashing, he stroked his long hair, seemed to recall the unbearable past, and sighed deeply: "In the next ...... I was the prince of the country of Yelang thirty years ago."
Long Xi suddenly looked at Tan Wulang's face, Tan Wulang also happened to look at him, the two met their eyes, after a long time, Long Xi let out a long groan, nodded, and Huang Dafu, who was listening to them with his ears pricked up, jumped up and said in a trembling voice: "Yelang Country is destroyed, I heard that the royal family of Yelang Country was martyred on the night of the destruction of the country, and none of them lived, I didn't expect ......."
Tan Wulang smiled stupidly: "But I didn't, I was ready to die that night, but I didn't expect that I ...... But I am so afraid, I, I dare not die......" As he was saying, he suddenly burst into tears, and continued with tears: "When I killed my own five children, I realized that death is actually the most stupid thing, and that all that is left after death is a rotting body and a pool of fishy blood."
He was full of tears, and at this time he actually "giggled" twice, but there was no joy in this laughter, he glanced at the bright red flowers outside the door, just like looking at a pool of blood, and said hoarsely: "If you really saw death, you must know what I am talking about."
He said these words without crying, although he said a lot, but there may not be many people who can really understand, just because some people face death every day, and some people take pleasure in killing, even if he kills people every day, he may not really see death.
Long Xi looked at him, now he had stopped crying, although there was still heavy sadness in his eyes, but he finally found someone who really understood him, someone who could talk to him, Long Xi said slowly: "People who kill people every day have regarded other people's lives as lighter than ants, and in his eyes, killing these people is like killing a plant, like killing chickens and sheep, how can he see death?"
Tan Wulang took a deep breath and muttered, "And I...... But it is his own relatives who are killed, and his own flesh and blood ......."
