135 Extra: Life is the same

Next Chapter

Commander Wei's memory of the rivers and lakes is not very good.

To be precise, his feeling about the place [Jianghu] is actually similar to Xi Yutang, and more beautification exists in fantasy and envy.

What fresh clothes and angry horses, singing about wine, green shirts fighting swords, happy enmity and hatred, for him, are all water and moon mirror flowers that he has never felt.

He was an orphan, and he was raised by Song Jitong as a dead soldier since he was a child-in fact, many people in Tingyu Pavilion and Jinyi Division were similar to him-if he hadn't been too good, and he had been officially apprenticed to Song Jitong, I am afraid he would have died early.

Not everyone is born a dead soldier or a killer. This kind of person is different from the Dark Guard, who at least has hope of life, while the fate of the dead and the killer is not in his own hands. Wei Han was able to get out of this dead circle by relying on his talented roots and ambition not to be manipulated.

The latter is a bit heavier.

When Song Jitong was still a small thousand households, the Jinyi Division was still in the hands of the national teacher Shangguan Hong, including Tingyu Pavilion, the two institutions were bright and dark, representing the eyes and hands of the Si Dynasty in the Jianghu martial arts.

Wei Han had only seen Shangguan Hong once, but he was extremely impressed by this man. It is impossible to imagine that a national teacher with immortal wind and bones and no red dust will be the ruler of the darkest institution in the palm of the Great Jin, even if he steps on other people's corpses every step he takes, and the blood stained on his body can stain countless cloths, no one will be able to associate the darkness with him.

- Just like Xi Yulan later.

This person who took over the mantle of Shangguan Hong, Wei Han knew him very early. At that time, he had already entered the Jinyi Division, wearing the most ordinary Jinyi Division's dark red power suit, and Xi Yulan, no, at that time he was under the pseudonym Jingyu, was a member of the national teacher, and for a long time before Shangguan Hong died, he came forward to deal with the people of the Jinyi Division on behalf of the national teacher.

He even entered the Listening Rain Pavilion earlier than Wei Han.

About everyone is born, and God will arrange an old enemy for him, and Xi Yulan is like this for him.

The two are of similar age and similar strength, and when they look at each other, they will inevitably be compared with each other. Wei Han was extremely disgusted with this approach, and so was Jing Yu, but as the parties concerned, they did not have any power to block everyone's mouth.

And one of the most popular sayings, Wei Han still remembers to this day, is that "Wei Han is more like a killer than Jingyu".

…… Very pertinent.

To be precise, Xi Yulan is not a killer at all.

He had never been brutally trained to train killers and dead soldiers, and the exercises he practiced were subtle and orthodox, which complemented his roots and bones that were born superior to ordinary people, and he acted with the demeanor of everyone in every gesture, and acted in a fair and upright manner, not at all like a person who walked in the dark.

It's really not similar to him from head to toe.

It really took Wei Han a long time to recognize this point, and to admit and accept this reality.

When I was young, I was crazy and didn't know it, and although I had buried all my thoughts deeply, I couldn't help but feel envious and jealous when I dreamed back.

They were as far apart as day and night, and even though he was used to walking in the dark, he still wanted to soak up the sun when he remembered it occasionally.

And this is also his feeling for Xi Yutang in the following years.

As time went by, the body of the national teacher became more and more overwhelmed, and different voices appeared within the Jinyi Division and Tingyu Pavilion, and it was inevitable to separate the family and divide power. However, after all, the two are too intertwined, and in the words of Xi Yutang later, it is a historical legacy, and it can only be a fool's dream if you want to completely separate.

Wei Han was in the Jinyi Division, so he naturally knew that Shangguan Hong also reserved a pivotal position for Xi Yulan in the Jinyi Division, and Xi Yulan did not object at the beginning. However, when Shangguan Hongyi died, and the position of the Pavilion Master of the Listening Rain Pavilion was pressed on Xi Yulan, he unexpectedly took the initiative to give up the Jinyi Division.

Wei Han was quite puzzled by this, but he was also happy to see it happen.

After all, it's an opponent.

As soon as Shangguan Hong died, Song Jitong no longer had any shackles on his head, and began to install people in the Tingyu Pavilion in a bright and bright manner, and at the same time focused on the Jinyi Division, and he was no longer interested in his position as the deputy pavilion master.

During that time, it was about the most chaotic period of the Jinyi Division and the Tingyu Pavilion, and there were many internal voices, and most of the spearheads were pointed at the new pavilion master. Wei Han didn't care about himself, and watched him fall into trouble with cold eyes, until he personally found him and proposed to join forces, and finally got a trace of interest.

This is the first time they have joined forces.

Perhaps it was the strange mentality of the rabbit and the fox that affected him, Wei Han accepted Xi Yulan's condition of "replacing Song Jitong as the deputy pavilion master", and the two used the swords in their hands to speak, beating everyone in the Tingyu Pavilion until they lost their temper completely, and finally calmed everything down.

It was a long bloody storm.

In this regard, Song Jitong was very satisfied, took the initiative to delegate power, let go of all the matters of Tingyu Pavilion, and took more fancy to his apprentice.

Xi Yulan, Wei Han, Song Jitong, Tingyuge, Jinyisi, Si Shi...... The result of this transition of power, to the satisfaction of almost every side, sounds like an extremely terrible thing. Afterwards, Wei Han tasted the mystery in it, and had a new understanding of Xi Yulan's ability to control people's hearts and opportunities, and while he was more and more jealous of him, he couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy.

A natural leader, a natural careerist.

It's a pity that I don't want to enter the court.

The outside world thinks that the relationship between the chief and deputy cabinet masters of Tingyu Pavilion is very good, with tacit understanding, mutual trust, similar means, and similar temperaments...... But only these two people know in their hearts that they don't like each other from the first time they meet, and their personalities and experiences are far from what they imagined.

However, Xing Xing's rival is such a strange existence, the person who knows him best is not a friend but an opponent, although Xi Yulan and Wei Han are not compatible, they trust each other's abilities very much, and it has to be said that it is a kind of luck to hear Yuge fall into the hands of these two people.

Ironically, neither of them is a person who takes the killer as a regular job.

In the twenty-fifth year of Yanping, Xi Yulan suddenly found him and said that he would be in retreat for a period of time, and he had no time to take care of the affairs of the cabinet for the time being.

Wei Han responded.

It wasn't unusual, it was often the case between the two, so he didn't have any suspicions.

As a result, who would have thought that Xi Yulan's 'retreat' would be six years.

And it was in these six years that Wei Han knew the name [Xi Yutang] for the first time.

This Xuantian Sect Master, who was much younger than him, was a frequent visitor on the bounty list of the Listening Rain Pavilion, Wei Han could notice that it was also Su Seventeen who came to say that Meng Thirteen might have died, and it was this person who set a new record for the [Mission Failure] in the Listening Rain Pavilion.

It stands to reason that with the authority of the main and deputy cabinet masters, many businesses in the cabinet do not need to be handled by them personally, after all, the business span of Tingyu Pavilion is too large, in addition to martial arts, there is also the court, and even some ordinary people will come to the door to do business with them, and a declining sect is really not important enough.

But Wei Han still noticed this Xuantian Sect Master.

It is said that he almost won the title of martial arts alliance at the age of 12.

It is said that he and Yue Qingfeng, the young master of the Gusu Yue family, are mortal enemies.

It is said that he was destroyed.

People in the rivers and lakes, life and death are sparse and ordinary, and there are endless things that kill people if they don't agree with each other. After all, Wei Han was young, he hadn't felt the power of Xuantian back then, he hadn't heard of Xi Zhimiao's name, he didn't know the drastic changes in the Snow Mountain more than ten years ago, and he had no interest in this sect far away in the Snow Mountain, that is, Su Qiqi came to make a fuss like this, so it was rare for him to pay attention to it a few times.

…… It's really a failed mission.

This Xi Yutang has nine lives!

At that time, he had been the deputy master of Tingyu Pavilion for nearly seven years, and the official position on the Jinyi Division had also reached a thousand households, and Song Jitong used him more and more, and personally ordered him to accompany him to participate in the martial arts conference in the thirty-first year of Yanping.

The preparations were all made in advance, from receiving Ouyang Xuan's heroic post to leaving for Luoyang, Wei Han was very bored all the way, until he was dealing with the affairs of Tingyu Pavilion, and found that someone had taken over the business of assassinating the Xuantian Sect Master, which made him a little interested.

…… He even went to watch the assassination.

That was the first time he saw Xi Yutang, it was different from what he imagined, thinner, better martial arts, and the relationship with Yue Qingfeng was not as bad as the legend, and even when the two joined forces to fight the enemy, they could still see a tacit understanding from it.

Although the pavilion brought a lot of people over, and the leader was still an elder, Wei Han knew that this business was in vain since he saw Xi Yutang start to use a knife in his left hand.

The battle was not over, the outcome was decided, and he left without reading it.

Later, when they met for the second time on Wushan, he suddenly understood Su Qiqi's curiosity, and also understood why this Xi Zhangjiao would always be a frequent visitor to the storytellers of the Jianghu teahouse - too young, excellent kung fu, self-disciplined, arrogant but not rude, although the mask covered half of his face, but still people could unconsciously impress his demeanor.

The world is still beautiful, if the young master of the Gusu Yue family had not been born with a fairy face, I am afraid that he would not be so famous.

But Xi Yutang can make people ignore her appearance.

Wei Han could see the evil aura in her whole body at a glance. This is also a person who has come out of countless death predicaments, with evil in his bones, walking in darkness, but yearning for light, very similar to himself.

Even the look he looked at the people in the ring, with a look of envy and disdain, was exactly the same as himself.

He thought they could be friends.

Later, "he" became "she".

Later, they took different paths.

……

“…… And after that? ”

In the Beijing Guard's Mansion, Xi Jingxing, who was already fifteen years old, spoke curiously, and his eyes, which were very similar to the fifth prince Si Yu back then, looked at the person in front of him without blinking.

Wei Han picked up the white jade wine cup in front of him expressionlessly, and the aroma of the finest pear blossoms silently reduced the killing around him.

After a moment of silence, he changed his words and asked, "When are you going to stay in the capital?" ”

Xi Jingxing was stunned and replied, "I'm going back to Jiangnan after the New Year's Festival with you, and I want to rush back to Hangzhou before my mother's birthday in March." ”

March.

Wei Han thought of the letter he received a few days ago, and hooked the corners of his lips coldly, "Isn't your mother going to make a big deal for her birthday this year?" ”

Jing Xing replied in surprise, "How do you know?" ”

Wei Han put down the wine cup, turned his gaze to the snowy courtyard, and paused before saying, "She said it herself." ”

Jing Xing opened his mouth in surprise, and only after a while did he hold back a sentence, "...... Oh. ”

Raising his eyes and glancing at him, Wei Han was amused, "I didn't expect that we still have contact?" ”

“…… You haven't seen each other a few times over the years. Jing Xing admits that he is curious.

Wei Han laughed briefly, "The saint didn't remove her from her post for a day, she was a fellow of the Jinyi Division for a day, and she still had to do what she had to do, and she was already letting her go if she didn't return to Beijing every year to report on her work." ”

I know this. The affairs of Jinyi Division Jiangnan are in charge of Xi Yutang, although she often neglects her duties, but at least she has done a lot of what she should do. Now although Wei Han is already a first-class person, he is also the commander of the Jinyi Division, and there is a relationship between the upper and lower levels, and it is reasonable for the two to have a connection.

…… He knows that his father has burned the letters of the person in front of him again and again after so many years.

How much do you mind.

"When I was a child, well, I thought you two were very good friends, until Aunt Tong said......" The handsome young man bowed his head embarrassedly, "and because of this, I did a lot of embarrassing things for the two, and now I think about it, I am really ashamed." ”

didn't expect Jing Xing to apologize for this, Wei Han was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed.

After a while, he stopped laughing, "It's not your fault, many people think so." ”

He got up and went to the bottom of the porch, looked at the silent snow falling in front of him, and wrote lightly for a long time, "Your mother and I were mortal enemies. ”

When the words fell, Jing Xing raised his head suddenly, "Mortal enemy? So why ......"

"Because I found her soft underbelly." Wei Han replied calmly.

Jing Xing got up, put the cloak on the elders in front of him, and then stood beside him, "Mother's weakness...... But father? ”

"Nope." Wei Han looked into the distance, as if he had returned to many years ago through the vast snow between heaven and earth.

It was also in this courtyard that it was the first time that Xi Yutang took the initiative to ask him for help, in order to protect Shen Qi.

It was also the first time she had put down her grievances and positions in front of him.

She said that he and Yue Qingfeng were different people.

"Yue Qingfeng can never be her weakness." He laughed meaninglessly, as if mockingly, "Her weakness is ridiculous and uninteresting. ”

Soft-hearted, righteous, affectionate, and promise-keeping.

Isn't this ridiculous for a decisive first master of the rivers and lakes?

He was just killed by the pond fish because he sheltered Shen Qi, and she felt guilty.

It's just that she doesn't want to see her die in a place she can't see, and accidentally emotions dominate her reason, and she stands beside her in the southern Xinjiang underground palace regardless of life and death, and she can remember it for so many years.

But then again, he Wei Jinzhi didn't have any position to laugh at Xi Yutang.

These two things were not carefully planned by him, and at that time, wasn't he also ridiculous and boring?

Knowing that no matter how much he pays, it is impossible for the other party to change his mind.

Knowing that even so, the two will not let go of their previous suspicions and become confidants and friends.

Isn't it still ...... Did you do it without hesitation?

……

He and Xi Yutang were wrong from the moment they met.

There is no such thing as a true friend or foe.

Xi Yutang once said that those who can turn from enemies to friends are people who have not touched the other party's bottom line and principles.

Wei Han thought so.

Only such an 'enemy' can have the possibility of becoming friends.

For example, Yue Qingfeng and her, such as Xi Yulan and Wei Han, such as Lin Yuan and Yue Qingfeng, such as Jiang Qiantong and her......

Only there will be no Wei Jinzhi and Xi Yutang.

The two of them have different desires, and the paths they take are also very different, even the personalities, at first he thought they were the same people, but in the end he found that this was not the case.

The Xi family is really annoying.

Whether it's Xi Yulan or Xi Yutang, they are all the kind of nasty ghosts who have never given up the pursuit of light even if the whole person is trapped in the dark, and they themselves belong to the light.

Brother and sister are really damn alike.

Xi Yutang is reluctant to set foot in the court, but he wants to float and sink on this temple for a lifetime; Xi Yutang chose Si Li that year, and he chose Si Yu; Xi Yutang has killed many of his subordinates, and he has also killed the snowy mountains, abolishing one of her most trusted henchmen; Xi Yutang fell in love with Yue Qingfeng, and he fell in love with Xi Yutang.

He has learned to be glad to have today.

That person is short and ruthless, and when he is strong, he is strong, he can use all means to force her to death, she can pull him to die together, and the Jedi counterattack is extremely skillful.

I don't care what happens to me.

Such a person, you face her, and you don't even know what to do to make her admit defeat.

Wei Han thinks that he is ruthless, but he can't be ruthless in this kind of thing.

So he stopped.

In the final analysis, it's just because I can't bear it.

From the time he was seriously injured to death by Zhuo Zhengyang, and Xi Yutang tried his best to save him if he was injured, Wei Han completely understood where this person's bottom line was.

But it was too late.

If he had rewind the clock by five years, no, three years, to the time when they first met, perhaps he wouldn't have cared about the ridiculous and perfunctory excuse that 'he was one step behind Yue Qingfeng'.

There are too many misunderstandings between them, and there are countless things that go wrong.

……

"Jing Xing, do you hate me?" Wei Han suddenly spoke.

Xi Jingxing glanced up at the people around him in surprise, then also looked at the courtyard fine snow, and paused for a long time before saying, "No, your choice...... It's for my good. ”

He knew at a very young age that he was not the biological son of Yue Qingfeng and Xi Yutang, and when he was older, he also heard about his life experience from Wei Han. At first, I was bitter about it, but as I got older, I knew more and more things, and my mood gradually calmed down.

In all fairness, his biological father rebelled, his mother followed him regardless of his life or death, he was not killed, he was not kept in captivity, he was not looked down upon since he was a child, he grew up healthy and healthy, and he also learned a good kung fu, Gusu Yue's family regarded him as the eldest young master, Changsheng and Yao'er recognized him as their own brother, and there were a lot of elders who loved him and protected him......

What else is there to be complained about?

"Jing Xing is only confused." He asked softly, "Why did you and Jing Xing's biological father ...... back then?"

"Why did they part ways?" Wei Han took his words.

Jing Xing nodded and quietly breathed a sigh of relief. To this day, he still can't mention his biological father Si Yu in a normal heart.

Wei Han narrowed his eyes and thought for a long time before he said, "It's probably different." At that time, Your Highness could no longer hear me. ”

The gap between him and Si Yu is actually partly because he chose to cooperate with the Xi family brothers and sisters and Yue Qingfeng. Although he did the right thing, and he didn't think he had done anything to be sorry for Si Yu, he was suspicious to that extent......

He didn't want to go into details, and Jing Xing didn't dare to ask again. If he could, he didn't want to know much about his background, but Wei Han stopped treating him as a child a long time ago, and didn't care if he could bear it.

On the contrary, it was his adoptive father and adoptive mother who loved him very much.

But Wei Han is also very protective of him.

Elder Jing is so old, affected by the growth environment, he knows and learns much more than his peers, and his mind is also extremely precocious, so he naturally knows that the elder in front of him is far from being comparable to ordinary people. It is unbelievable that he has been able to teach himself for more than ten years.

Glancing at his expression in a low voice, Wei Han's expression flashed, and he said, "Xi Yutang really taught you very well." ”

Jing Xing paused, not knowing what to answer, so he had to say, "Mother, she's fine." ”

She's certainly good.

It's so good......

Wei Han moved his lips, finally swallowed the words on his lips, finally glanced at the young man beside him, and walked out silently.

The frost and snow soon fell all over his shoulders, and also covered his black hair, his spine was straight, and his back was solemn and indifferent, like a goose back knife out of its sheath, drawing a deep blood color between this cold and biting world.

Just like the road he has been determined all his life and is arrogant. 166 Reading Network
