Chapter 222: Talking to the Night 1
A strong man who despises the monarch's prestige, her existence is also intolerable......
Of course, after today's events, the general naturally would not suspect that Xia Yu had something to do with the assassination of the prince.
The Great Avenue Immortals, Demons and Demons, the world is divided into four parts of the world. Now that the situation is unstable and the Emperor's Sword is invented, every country is eager to have a few more talents like the strong.
Xia Yu naturally understood what the general meant, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly: "Xia Yu is a person from Tiancheng, and he is a friend of His Royal Highness the Prince, even if he doesn't want to get involved in power disputes, he is also willing to solve problems for Tiancheng." ”
"Is that true?" The general was happy to hear what Xia Yu said.
"Xihou Mansion has also made a lot of contributions to Tiancheng at the beginning, although it is a little lonely to your father's generation. But as long as you are willing to assist the king, the king and the general will naturally help you ...... again."
"No need!" Xia Yu smiled slightly and interrupted him.
"General, Xihou Mansion is Xihou Mansion, Xia Yu is Xia Yu, and there is no conflict between the two. Moreover, King Tiancheng and the crown prince are both sensible people, how can they take care of that person because of me as a little woman. ”
Xia Yu knew that what the general said was nothing more than trying to use the affairs of Xihou Mansion to win her over. However, she has never had a father-daughter relationship with Xia Xiong's old husband. Therefore, whether the Xihou Mansion is prosperous or defeated has nothing to do with her.
"This ......"
His eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and the general looked at Xia Yu, not knowing what to say. When Xia Yu was treated as a waste before, many people looked down on her, but now that Xihou Mansion has been defeated, her strength has improved by leaps and bounds, and she has become a hero in the limelight, and she will inevitably resent her father for what she did before.
From her words, I heard the meaning of refusal, and the general was not reluctant, but he felt that a talent like her, if it was a loss, it would inevitably be a pity.
Xia Yu looked at him, naturally guessed what he was thinking, curled his lips and smiled, and then said: "Don't worry too much about the general, Xia Yu just means that I am a woman, even if I assist the king and the crown prince of Tiancheng, I don't dare to talk about the government in vain." However, the general has the intention to promote, Xia Yu can recommend a talent to the general, and in terms of government and military theory, he is Xia Yu's 'teacher'. ”
"Oh? Who are you recommending? The general's eyes lit up, although Xia Yu was reluctant to directly assist King Tiancheng, but with her ability, the person who could be recommended by her should not be bad.
"This person's name is Zhou Wentao, and he was the eldest brother of the righteous when I left Xihou Mansion. Because he could not be treated fairly and justly in the scientific expedition, he was unwilling to go out of the mountain and dedicate his talents to Tiancheng. However, if the general can trust Xia Yu and take care of him, I believe that he will not disappoint you and the king in the future. ”
Xia Yu said with a smile, and he was not worried about how high the hat he buttoned Zhou Wentao was.
Anyway, Zhou Wentao was also shrewd, and I believe that he should not have much problem in terms of court affairs.
"With your recommendation, General Ben will naturally reuse it." Xia Yu was a piece of gold that didn't shine before, but now that it's shining, he naturally won't let such a thing happen again. Therefore, he was extremely confident in the person recommended by Xia Yu.
After the affairs of Taishoufu were dealt with, the general left, and Xia Yu was also ready to leave. However, just as she stepped out of the gate of the Taishou Mansion with her front feet, she saw a thin and slender figure slowly coming towards this side.
A snow-white robe, like snow falling from the sky, is not stained with dust.
Xia Yu was stunned, walked over, looked at each other, and the two nodded politely, which was regarded as a greeting.
"How did you get here?"
Although I said before that I would be like strangers, but the demon world lives and dies together, and their relationship is not as bad as imagined.
"I had nothing to do, so I came out for a walk, and I happened to see the general with the army in the direction of Taishou Mansion, and I was curious, so I came over to take a look."
The Northern Night's gentle and bland answer.
"Is that so?" Curling his lips and smiling, Xia Yu said: "But there is nothing lively and beautiful over there in Taishou Mansion, because I have already solved the things that should be handled." ”
"The general is upright, he led the army to Taishou Mansion early in the morning, presumably something important happened."
"Yes, the general led the army this morning to go to Meizhuang to take me into the palace, but then I don't know why, I didn't go." Xia Yu said with a smile. Of course, she knew that even if she didn't say much, she must know what was going on in the middle.
"Anyway, you're fine."
"It's good, but ......" Xia Yu pursed his lips slightly, a complicated light flashed in his eyes, and then he said, "Northern Night, are you free?" I have something that I want to say to you alone. ”
Bei Ying Ye hesitated slightly, as if he was a little reluctant, Xia Yu saw it in his eyes, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Forget it, it's actually not an important matter." ”
"It's okay, I still have time for a cup of tea." In fact, he just didn't want to have too much contact with Xia Yu, because the more he came into contact, the more difficult it was for him to control his heart.
But, on the other hand, he couldn't help but want to get close to her.
Xia Yu smiled and nodded, and then the two kept a certain distance and went to the nearest restaurant in the capital.
After entering the private room and serving tea, he stood quietly by the window alone in the northern night, without saying a word.
Xia Yu sat on the edge of Zhuo, never thinking that it would be such an embarrassing situation for the two to meet and get along. With a far-fetched smile, he poured him a cup of tea, and then asked him softly: "In the Northern Night, not long after the God King sealed the Xixia Forest Mountain Range, the Demon King had actually torn open a hole in the God King's enchantment and escaped, right?" ”
His heart trembled violently, and he didn't look back, but he still replied quietly: "Yes." ”
"But the demon king escaped from the barrier of the Xixia Forest, but because of the serious loss of spiritual power, he was counterattacked, and he disappeared from now." Xia Yu squinted his eyes, picked up a cup of tea, didn't drink it, and then said: "The demon clan was sealed in the Xixia Forest, and has been oppressed by the demon world, because it can't bear it, some demon clans followed the footprints left by the demon king before, found the barrier that was torn by the demon king, and also escaped. ”
The Northern Styx just listened quietly and did not say anything.
"And those demon clans that can't escape, although they have been freed, but they have left the seal, and their vitality is also greatly damaged, even if they come to the human race, they are difficult to live because of the weak spirit body. Therefore, they began to live in the bodies of some dying people, hiding their demonic energy, and wanted to improve their strength through cultivation, so as to parasitize in the human body, right? ”
This was her suspicion of his identity.
As soon as the words fell, Xia Yu gently took a sip of the tea in his hand, he used to think that the flower tea in Meizhuang was the best in the world, but after drinking the tea brewed by Yifeng in the Nine Heavens and eating the snacks he gave, Xia Yu felt that there was no taste in this world.
"How do you know that?" Bei Ying Ye asked lightly.
Xia Yu smiled: "These are all my guesses!" It's just that I don't understand one thing...... Although you are a demon, you are obviously very strong, so why do you hide your strength and live humbly in the crowd. ”
Bei Ming Ye turned around, also picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and then looked out the window, still didn't say anything. It turned out that Xia Yu only thought that his identity was a demon, but he didn't know that he was actually a lowly human-demon hybrid.
The two were silent for a while, and Xia Yu took the initiative to step forward and speak.
"Night...... I know you're hiding a lot of things, but I've always been sincere about being nice to you. No matter what you have done or will be, no matter what you have done, I always believe that you will always be the Northern Styx I know! ”
"You already know that I am a demon, why do you still believe that I am the Northern Styx you know? Don't you know that demons are born to be cunning? "The North Stygian Night has been looking out of the window, with a handsome side face, exquisite and exquisite.
"As I said, being good to you has nothing to do with who you are."
"Really? Have you ever wondered about that...... You never really knew each other...... The truest me. ”
"Night ......"
Xia Yu couldn't help but look at him, in his memory, he had always been gentle and elegant, without edge. But what he just said made people feel that he was so harsh, as if he was deliberately alienating himself.
"Everyone looks at people and things from a different perspective, and what I insist on may not be right. Xia Yu, you better be yourself. ”
Bei Ming Ye clenched the teacup in his hand and didn't put it down, but when he said this, the water in his teacup splashed.
Xia Yu looked at him, and although she tried her best to suppress her emotions, she still caught a trace of disappointment in her eyes.
"Good! I can just be myself, but what I want to do most now is to get rid of King Tiancheng, so will you help me? With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Xia Yu asked.
"You want to get rid of the Heavenly Inheritance King?"
With a slight cocoon in her eyebrows, Bei Mingye's face condensed, and after some hesitation, she said to her: "Actually, the reason why I chose to cooperate with King Tiancheng in the past was that he helped me find the Divine Jade and Vientiane Jue. It's because I know that behind King Tiancheng, there is a deep force hidden. However, I still don't know for sure what that force is. ”
"He is the monarch of a country, how can he still need his power to consolidate his position?" In Xia Yu's opinion, the person who has been helping King Tiancheng behind his back is the Northern Night. But the Northern Styx told her that behind the King of Tiancheng, there was actually a terrifying force that could not be defeated.
And the Northern Night, in fact, it was to investigate that force that he chose to make a deal with the King of Tiancheng.
"Will it be a great master?" His eyebrows were slightly furrowed, the great master Mo Bing was admired by the human world, and the four kingdoms worshiped the immortal demigod, and his prestige had even spread to the other three realms. And Tiancheng is the country he has guarded for hundreds, even nearly a thousand years. It's just that the great power teacher guards Tiancheng, although he does not interfere in the disputes in the human world, he wants to support the king of Tiancheng, does this still need to be hidden?
Sure enough, after Xia Yu just finished asking, Bei Mingye smiled softly and said: "It is impossible for a great national teacher, although he is not old or dead, and his strength has already reached the peak, but he is willing to fall into the dust and will never be an immortal." Moreover, he would have a Heavenly Tribulation every five hundred years in the mortal world, and at that time, his strength was very weak, even a cultivator with the strength of the Triple Heaven could easily kill him. ”
"If it's not a great power teacher, then what force can escape the eyes of the Protoss and help the emperor of a human world."
"The person involved by that force is not only an emperor of heaven." Because if he really investigated what the force hidden behind the Tiancheng King was, he would not tolerate the Tiancheng King living to this day, "Xia Yu, the more a person is in the bright light, the deeper the shadow will be. Do you understand? ”
Xia Yu was silent and nodded.
However, she still didn't understand what the hidden force standing behind King Tiancheng was, so difficult to deal with.
"King Tiancheng has always wanted to unify the four kingdoms and reign over the world. The strength hidden behind him can't help him without reciprocating! Just, what exactly do they want to do? ”
"All I know is that if you alarm that force, it will be tricky. Also, the assassination of Murong Tian was also directed and acted by King Tiancheng, but it was only his injury...... I did it later. So, about the matter of the Heavenly Cheng King, you'd better not interfere too much, so as not to get into trouble, you know? "The North Night.
His eyes darkened, Xia Yu bit his lip lightly, and soon understood the words of the Northern Night. It's just that the more frustrated she becomes, the more she finds it difficult, the more she wants to try.
King Tiancheng is so hateful and selfish...... For the sake of his own ambitions, he has been unfavorable to himself again and again. Even this time, he used Murong Tian to blame himself! It is said that tiger poison does not eat children, but that day King Cheng did so many outrageous things, did Xia Yu want to let him go because of the forces behind him?
"Thank you for reminding me, I'll be careful when I do it in the future." The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and Xia Yu took a sip of the tea in his hand. Although the tea is already a little cold, it also has a unique flavor when drinking.
"What do you mean, or do you want to deal with King Tiancheng?" The North Nightshade asked in surprise.
He's already said it to this point, can't he still make her back down?
seemed to understand his thoughts, Xia Yu smiled heartily: "As for me, I am just a tendon, once I determine something, I will never give up until I understand it." ”
"Xia Yu, I just don't want to see you have an accident. A little Tiancheng King is nothing, but the person hiding behind him ......" frowned slightly, and the eyes of the Northern Darkness looked away, not daring to look at her eyes at all.
Because, in those eyes as clear as water, his emotions will fall deeper.
Hearing his words, Xia Yu smiled softly and stepped forward slowly. Although he knew that he was running away from himself, he also said: "In the northern night, it is said that the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. But in this life, Xia Yu is very glad to have you as a friend......"
"Yes, I'm glad to have you as a friend. But if you want to start with the King of Tiancheng to find out that person, I can't help you--"
