Originally, it was just a game and play competition between a few competitive women, but it was also slowly mixed with some other things, making a simple thing slowly become tasteless and complicated. Cracks and suspicions are difficult to repair as long as they exist, and they often expand rapidly under the action of external forces until they fall apart irreversibly.

In the face of this complicated and chaotic world, right and wrong are not important, nor are they worth discussing, everyone has their own judgment and trade-offs about things. Interests, while absolute core, are not the only reason. Family, teachers, traditions, ideals, forced to ...... Everyone will find a myriad of reasons for what they do.

After today's game, after a brief summary, Mu Tianxiang did not participate in the celebration, and came to the hillside alone to find a place where no one was there and sat quietly, thinking. In the afternoon, Shangguan Ping's secretive speech and the figure who left in a hurry reflected a lot of problems, and there were many things that were irreparable.

Where do you go from here? Mu Tianxiang hesitated and was at a loss.

"Mu Tianxiang, why are you here alone. Everybody's celebrating. Shangguan Jin's pleasant voice came.

"It's okay, just be alone and think about tomorrow's game. Mu Tianxiang said casually.

"Do you guess that tomorrow, Wang Shiyu of Fengyun City will surrender directly," Shangguan Jin said with a grin.

"It's possible, it's the best, we can avoid unnecessary casualties," Mu Tianxiang also said easily, for tomorrow's game, Mu Tianxiang is not worried, 900 against 400, a huge numerical advantage, is a hurdle that Fengyun City can't overcome, it's just some conspiracy, just pay attention to yourself.

"Hee-hee, surrender without a fight, I like it," Shangguan Jin tilted his head and smiled.

"Miss is mighty and dominates the rivers and lakes," Mu Tianxiang said with a smile. Although Shangguan Jin is a little arrogant and a little temperamental, he is very kind-hearted, and in this troubled world, there is not much kindness. Although Mu Tianxiang has some guesses and cognitions about many things, Mu Tianxiang doesn't want those dirty things to pollute this simple little girl. Although Mu Tianxiang is not very old, he is a person who has lived two lives, and he knows that some things are not the worst, only worse.

I hope that this simplicity and kindness can be maintained for a long time, but it is really not good, even if it is one more day.

"We are about the same age, we often played together when we were children, and the relationship is good, I don't know what's going on in the past few years, I can't see each other a few times a year, and I don't know what to say even when we meet, among them, Li Tianjiao and Wang Shiyu hate it the most, they look down on this, they look down on that, and they can't hear it," Shangguan Jin lowered his head and complained.

"When people grow up and think more about the facts, they will become," Mu Tianxiang reassured.

"Are you hiding something from me? Do you think I'm stupid," Shangguan Jin suddenly stood up and pointed at Mu Tianxiang and asked.

"No, no, young lady is wise and martial, what can I hide from you. Mu Tianxiang snorted haha.

"In the past two years, my father and brother have been practicing martial arts and expanding the army every day, and they have no time to accompany me, and there is some inexplicable tension at home," the little girl said distressedly: "Actually, I know, something must have happened, but no one told me." A lot of uncles and uncles are gone, and more unfamiliar people are coming. ”

It seems that the Shangguan City Lord is not completely unprepared, and the replacement of new and old personnel has been going on. Come to think of it, the strong people who can dominate this piece of the world, that one is not simple.

Of course, some things are just showing some clues, and it is difficult to say what direction of development will take place in the future. The city lord of Shangguan cares about the people's livelihood, and it seems that he is not a big traitor, and Mu Tianxiang is also willing to contribute on the premise of doing his best.

"Mu Tianxiang, your cultivation is so low, but your father, brother and Uncle Shangguan Ping all said that you are a capable person, I think it is average, except for training. Shangguan Jin suddenly asked.

"I can see it, I think I'm hiding it well. It seems that I am too good, domineering and leaky, no matter how I hide it, I can't hide it," Mu Tianxiang looked up at the moon and sighed, looking like a master.

"You're going to die," Shangguan Jin kicked Mu Tianxiang with a kick, Mu Tianxiang stood up in embarrassment, and his demeanor was gone.

"How do you do it, I'm really a master," Mu Tianxiang continued to tease Shangguan Jin.

"How tall?"

"It's several stories high!"

"What do you mean?"

"It's very high, very high. ”

"You hate it to death, don't want to say it, forget it, Miss Ben is not rare, anyway, you are found by me, I am Bole, you are my person now, you have to listen to me for everything. Shangguan Jin said arrogantly.

"Miss is mighty, Miss is the real master, the brilliance is as brilliant as the sun and the moon, my admiration for Miss is like a surging river...... "Mu Tianxiang patted his ass seriously.

"Hee-hee...... I like it, would you like to help me?" Shangguan Jin asked.

"Yes, I am willing to follow Miss all the time," this is not Mu Tianxiang's perfunctory, Mu Tianxiang is really willing to protect this innocence, kindness and beauty. Even at some cost.

"Regardless of whether what you said is true or not, anyway, I remember it, if you dare not keep your promise in the future, be careful that I clean you up!" Shangguan Jin waved his tender little hand, pretending to warn fiercely.

"What I'm saying is true, absolutely true, truer than gold. Mu Tianxiang pretended to be serious and said.

"Okay, don't be poor with you, I'm leaving. Shangguan Jin said with a grin.

"Miss, we will definitely win tomorrow's game, but Miss should also be careful of Wang Shiyu's intrigues," Mu Tianxiang said as he looked at Shangguan Jin, who turned to leave.

"I know, it's really long-winded, I don't want to think about many things, you still think I'm so stupid. Shangguan Jin waved his hand and left happily.

Looking at the distant shadow, Mu Tianxiang smiled softly.

"Jin'er is gone," a long sigh sounded in Mu Tianxiang's ears.

"Who" Mu Tianxiang turned around nervously. I saw a majestic middle-aged man standing behind him, also looking at Shangguan Jin who was constantly moving away.

"Don't be nervous, I'm Shangguan Haoran, the lord of Shangguan City," a very casual sentence, but the momentum of being in the top position for a long time made people have to be convinced. "Could this be the anger of the king," Mu Tianxiang thought dirtyly.

"Why did the city lord come here," Mu Tianxiang asked strangely, it is said that a pediatric competition like this cannot alarm the attention of Shangguan Haoran at this level, let alone in person.

"Sit, some things have undergone some interesting changes, I'll come over to take a look, and avoid some people having some bad thoughts," Shangguan Haoran said indifferently, pointed to the stone beside him, and sat down.

After a while, Shangguan Haoran, who had been pondering for a while, spoke, "Tianxiang, what do you think of yesterday's events?"

Mu Tianxiang thought for a while and said: "I was originally in a small mountain village, although it was very bitter, but it was also peaceful, and then the war came, and everything changed. I couldn't enter the sect to cultivate due to my qualifications, so I joined the army of the Heavenly Wind Country, and then I traveled all over the country with the army, constantly fighting and killing, and I observed a lot and thought a lot in order to survive. ”

There seems to be no connection between what is asked and what is said, but the person who said it is very serious and listens very carefully.

"In this world, if you want to live, you have to keep fighting and fighting, and mediocre people can't survive. Shangguan Haoran said softly.

"I also like to be simpler and more peaceful, but some things have changed, and in order to survive, I have to change with them, although I don't like it either, but I can't help it. Mu Tianxiang continued.

"Friendship, family affection, and fellow disciples are many, many things that should be cherished, but in the face of survival and desire, they all seem pale, and I really don't know if it's worth it. Shangguan Haoran sighed.

"In the army, if you want to survive and face endless fighting, you have to be ruthless than others, faster than others, and farther than others think. Some good things just become fetters that we don't deserve. Mu Tianxiang said.

"We can't see through many superficial things about people and things in the world, let alone those things that are buried deep in people's hearts, but it's always right to prepare early. Shangguan Haoran said.

......

In this ordinary hillside and silent night, the two of them chatted about whether they had a ride or not, and many times they didn't say one thing, the bull's head was not right for the horse's mouth, but both sides understood, some things were really not worth saying clearly, and they couldn't be said clearly, they could only understand.

"By the way, tomorrow the game is over, you guys will come back quickly. This time, I will promote you to be the commander of 10,000 people, and hand over 30,000 of them, including 10,000 monks, and my two sons Shangguan Qingyun and Shangguan Qinghe will also be handed over to you, although they are older than you, but they still have less experience, and there are still many things that they don't understand. Shangguan Haoran stood up and said categorically.

"My cultivation is so poor, it is estimated that there are many people who are not convinced, and it is not good if it is self-defeating," he was promoted again, but Mu Tianxiang was still a little worried.

"Time is running out, there's no need to drizzle, it's too late. I understand your training methods, which require strict military discipline and absolute obedience. I let Shangguan Ping be your staff, and if you don't obey discipline, you will hand him over, and he will deal with it. There are always some that will be eliminated. Shangguan Haoran said without refusing, domineering and leaking, showing the cruelty and majesty of the superiors.

"Your cultivation is low, this is your advantage. Shangguan Haoran suddenly laughed.

"What do you mean, it's okay to be low. Mu Tianxiang was inexplicable.

"You're a capable person, but you're not a threat to anyone. Shangguan Haoran said: "In this troubled world, useful people can always live. ”

"I didn't expect that this is also an advantage," Mu Tianxiang smiled bitterly, and there was a certain amount of truth in what he said, it is impossible for the qualifications of garbage to cultivate advanced exercises, and for the strong, it is an existence and ants that can be erased at will. is the extreme point, Mu Tianxiang has a lifespan of less than a hundred years, and in the face of those strong people who have a lifespan of five or six hundred years, it will consume you to death.

After saying this, Shangguan Haoran floated away, and Mu Tianxiang pondered for a while and went to rest.
