Su Weiyin ran away, and some people were talking about it on the street, not knowing that Su Weiyin was the son of the ragged old man in front of him, nor did he know that the old man in front of him was the king of Xilin who had been imprisoned for many years.

The old man walked aimlessly in Lin'an City, he had not seen the sun for almost ten years, his skin was white and bloodless, like a jumping corpse in a coffin, what should he do, where should he go? No one can tell him the answer to everything.

Until he saw the scarlet palace wall.

"It's over, it's all over now. Emperor Yin said in a low voice, sitting on the chair dejectedly, according to the reply letter from the reinforcements sent to the west of Guxia Mountain, Guo Yu and his party were all slaughtered, and there were corpses everywhere they went, as for Su Weiyin and his party, they had completely disappeared, and it was likely that they had entered the Xilin Sword Arsenal

There was silence in the imperial study, and Tantai Ningsu was silent for a long time before finally saying slowly: "Disappointment is inevitable, but it is not yet the most desperate time. ”

Emperor Yin smiled, but the self-deprecating emotion in this smile was even stronger: "My child is probably dead, you can tell me, what could be more desperate than this." ”

She said firmly, "No, the kid isn't dead yet. ”

"How do you know? You're not?"

"It's just a feeling, that the child has a king's breath in his body, and the gods and Buddhas have chosen him, not so that he will die like a pig and a dog. ”

Tantai Ningsu sat down in front of him: "From what happened to the present, you still haven't made any moves against the Xilin people, why?"

"What do you want me to do? Now nearly one-sixth of the people in the Xilin people in the Yin Kingdom have died because of Su Weiyin's misappropriation of the breath of the town, since ancient times, the warring kings of the two countries can be killed, and the blood can be shed, only the spirit of the town and the country can not be moved, Su Weiyin's bold behavior will definitely cause the wrath of heaven, and those people in the west still think that Su Weiyin is their savior, which is really stupid. ”

Tantai Ningsu said: "No matter how difficult the situation is now, when it comes to the moment of life and death, I will still help you, Shuyue is not so mediocre in your opinion, and I still have some hole cards that I have not used." ”

"You should go back, I don't want you to be too involved in this matter, my father-in-law has died in Lin'an, and the news will soon spread all over the world...... Lin'an is dangerous for you. "Emperor Yinhuang has the tiredness in his eyes that can't be hidden

Tantai Ningsu said softly: "Dangerous? In my opinion, it is not as dangerous as Shuyue, at least the people in this city respect me, I will not run back to Shuyue like this, let me stay, you need my help." ”

"Actually, after so many years, did you come to Lin'an because of me, or because of yourself?"

The empress was silent for a moment: "It's all there." ”

"At the end of the day, you're still pitiing me. ”

"No one can pity you, do you remember when we were on the Far Cloud Plain, we lit the flame, I listened quietly to you all night about the future, you told me that you want to be a real one

The emperor is not an incompetent proton, I believed it at the time. I have always believed that until now you and I have both become emperors, and we have survived all these years of pain, let alone now. ”

Emperor Yin said: "As for your murder of your husband, it actually seems to be a big rebellion in the eyes of others, but in fact, I really don't care much, in order to protect yourself and your daughter, you did what a woman and a mother should do, not the right thing." ”

Listening to his words, Tantai Ningsu held his hand, looked into his eyes seriously and said: "I gave birth to a daughter, my only wish is to watch her grow up safely, this is my selfishness, and it is also my mistake, if Su Weiyin attacks the Yin country with his sword, all this will turn into ashes." ”

"Since I killed Tantai Liheng, I have become selfish and cold, and I don't care about anyone except my daughter, until I went to Lin'an, and there was a change. ”

Emperor Yin looked at the tears on her face, and suddenly remembered those past events many years ago.

Sometimes he would wonder if he had stayed in Shuyue instead of returning to Yinguo, what would have happened now? Do Xilin and Beiban exist? Are hundreds of thousands of people still alive?

Maybe he's the one who deserves to die.

"Your Majesty, someone outside the palace asked to see him, saying that he had something very important to look for His Majesty. The little eunuch outside the door said in a low voice, he knew that Emperor Yin could hear it.

"What's so important?" Emperor Yin looked at Tantai Ningsu, the other party nodded, he walked out of the imperial study, and saw the little eunuch kneeling on the ground respectfully: "That person said that His Majesty would go to the forest on the edge of Lin'an Dong City to wait for him." ”

Emperor Yin couldn't help but sneer: "Who is this person?

It wasn't until the little eunuch handed over a broken lock that Emperor Yin's heart slowly cooled, and fear grabbed his heart like a sharp claw.

He waited until evening, wondering how long he had waited in the silence of the woods, which was peaceful and quiet. He heard the insects chirping, the birds chirping, the leaves rustling in the wind, and he picked a few berries under the tree, which were sore and delicious, the best thing he had eaten in ten years.

It wasn't until sunset that Emperor Yin came, the clouds on the horizon had been covered with red glow, Emperor Yin did not come alone, Xilin Sword God Guan Changye followed behind him at night, along the way Yinhuang explained all this story to him, Xilin Sword God has been silent, until he saw the figure of the other party sitting under the tree, he was sure that Emperor Yinhuang did not tease him anymore.

"How did you escape?" Chu Xiaohua stood in front of him and asked condescendingly.

"It's time for you to get a good chain again. King Xilin threw a bunch of broken locks from his pocket, and Guan Changye knelt down in front of him with a thud: "Your Majesty, the minister should die!"

"I'm not your majesty anymore, and this is not my country, can the three of us sit down?"

The three of them sat cross-legged on the ground, and Emperor Yin was the first to ask, "What do you want?"

"I want to meet my daughter. ”

"Really?" Emperor Yin examined his face, as cautious as a fox. "Your Majesty, did you call me here just to meet your daughter?

King Xilin laughed at himself: "You treat him like a prisoner, it is inevitable that he will betray you, but I didn't expect this child to be so crazy." ”

Emperor Yinhuang looked provocative: "He is your son, and madness will be passed on." ”

"It seems to you that I have always been a madman, that I have betrayed my country and abandoned those former beliefs......" he smiled indifferently as he looked at the fallen leaves under the tree.

"The war is about to begin, we don't know who the enemy is, but we already smell their stench, it's lurking in the shadows, our real enemy is not ourselves, but them!" he said word by word.

"How many lives have you buried for an ethereal dream?"

"It doesn't matter. ”

"Isn't it important?" Emperor Yin hissed and roared, "I, Chu Xiaohua, am the one who has the ability to save the people of your west, I gave them a home, not let them practice swords aimlessly!"

"You killed your brother!" King Xilin sneered, "You are the most cruel person." ”

"Do you want to see what real cruelty is?" Emperor Yin replied coldly, he took a step forward, red luck wrapped around him, and the King of Xilin was still indifferent: "If you kill me, you will never see your youngest son again in this life, Changqing He took away the instant summoning, right? ”

"What's the matter with you! You madman, your family is crazy!"

King Xilin smiled and shook his head: "No, the so-called emperors are all crazy, Chu Xiaohua, you are, your children are too, and I am the same, all of us are just taking on our roles out of our own helplessness, whether it is a king or an ordinary person, it is just the difference between a shepherd and a lamb, the sheep only need to eat grass obediently, and it is our responsibility to drive away the wolves...... And now that the wolf is coming, what have you done, shepherd?"

"What exactly do you want?" asked Emperor Yinhuang again.

King Xilin took a deep breath, "I wanted to make a deal with you, I had enough reasons to kill your son, but I didn't do it, and for that alone, I hope you will listen to me." ”

"War is coming, I mean real war, the door of taboo has been opened. King Xilin suddenly became serious: "We can't turn back. ”

"Someone ......," said King Xilin slowly, "someone has opened that door, and they will soon come to this world from the abyss, and their roar will even frighten the gods and Buddhas, and everywhere they go will be blood and tears." ”

"What did you say?" Yinhuang cold sweat poured out from every pore.

"I can't give it

You explain it very clearly, this is just my hunch, for most people in the world, war is a terrible thing, but if I want to say that war is actually a pair of invisible hands, a perfect counterbalance, we can't lose war, war can't lose us, this is the most perfect mechanism created by the gods and Buddhas for this world, war is the most effective way to promote the times, there is no one. Assuming that the war is far away from us, the whole country and even the world will slowly lose its vitality, and you know very well that once there are no wolves left on the grassland, only sheep remain, and within three years the whole grassland will be barren and there will be no grass. Assuming that the war between kings is a game between wolves and sheep, then their arrival will be a fire that will destroy the steppe, and wolves, sheep, and grass will all cease to exist. ”

"Go on. ”

"This world is not ours, our homeland is built on the battlefield of the gods, every war we have had over the years, has upset this balance, once this balance is broken, they will come here as if thousands of years ago, and the deaths and injuries will occur beyond your imagination. ”

"That's why you're alleviating this anxiety by refining your sword?"

"It's not anxiety, it's fear. The day the gate is opened, the day we will be destroyed. King Xilin whispered: "I admit that I was crazy before and killed a lot of people who shouldn't have been killed, but everything I did was just to protect this fragile world!"

"You are so pathetic......" said Emperor Yin.

"I have made an unforgivable mistake, and I am ashamed of the people of the west, I am not worthy to be king of the west, but I cannot lose my qualification as a father. He stood up and slapped his ** chest: "My child...... He twisted his father's will, and the sword of the Western Sword Vault was not used for ...... Ahem, I can open the door of the Xilin Sword Library, I want to save my child from the hands of fate, I must not die before that, Chu Xiaohua...... Will you grant a poor father's request?"

"I'm going to kill you, and your children. ”

King Xilin looked into his eyes for a long time: "So in your eyes, am I so bad?"
