Chapter 791: Two Worlds of Darkness
With a clang, the iron hammer in Yu Chigong's hand was thrown to the ground by him. He slowly raised his head and looked directly into Li Xian's eyes, and then raised his hand and ripped off the black towel that covered his face. On the day of the decisive battle with the Liang army reinforcements in Xiangyang, he was covered with dozens of serious wounds, even his face was crisscrossed with wounds, and after a few months, the wounds on his face had already scarred, and it looked as if his face was crawling with twisted earthworms.
He threw the hammer to the ground because he knew it was pointless to have it in his hand.
Li Xian's black knife was placed in front of his throat, there was no doubt that as long as the extremely sharp black knife was lightly slashed, his throat would be easily cut like a layer of paper, he had killed countless people, cut the necks of many people, he knew that as long as the black knife moved, his neck would spurt blood like a waterfall. Slightly hot, fishy.
He used to love it.
Li Xian looked at this somewhat unfamiliar face, frowned slightly and groaned for a while. His hand was as steady as a rock, and the blade did not tremble in front of Wei Chigong's neck.
"Are you Wei Chigong?"
After filtering through the people who might have assassinated him in his mind, Li Xian found that only this name seemed to be the most appropriate. When he was in Xiangyang City, Wan Yulou and his military guards searched for tens of thousands of dead bodies for a long time but failed to find Wei Chigong's body.
But Li Xian didn't expect this person to be so persistent, since he was lucky not to die, instead of finding a place where no one knew to hide and spend the rest of his life, he actually chased after him all the way to assassinate himself. Li Shimin has such a loyal subordinate, which is indeed worthy of emotion.
"I Am"
Wei Chigong nodded, but his eyes gradually became dull when he looked at Li Xian.
Before he walked into the tent, his nervous palms were covered with sweat. He has killed people for half of his life, and he has never been so agitated because of killing people as he is today. Over the years in the army, the number of people who have died at his hands has long been uncountable. From following Liu Wuzhou at the beginning, to following Li Shimin later, after more than 100 battles, which battle was not a river of blood flowing all over the field?
Li Xian smiled slightly and withdrew the black knife.
This action surprised Wei Chigong for a moment, and then smiled a little self-deprecatingly: "King Yan is King Yan, it seems that you are extremely confident in your martial arts." If it were me, I would have cut your throat before sending someone to find out who the assassin was...... And you put down the knife when you knew who I was, I don't know if I should say that you are too conceited. ”
"The knife isn't at your neck, but it's still in your lone hand."
Li Xian glanced at the scars on Wei Chigong's face, and actually slowly walked back to his chair and sat down: "If you feel that Lone is conceited, Lone will not mind, there are not many people in this world who are conceited and can be conceited at any time." ”
"I've heard that His Royal Highness King Yan's martial arts are Luo Shixin, who is known as invincible immediately, and he is willing to bow down to the invincible majestic sea. But I've also heard my father-in-law say that you are the most afraid of death in the world. Since you are afraid of death...... must be cautious, but you don't seem to be cautious at all today, aren't you afraid that I will have other means to kill you? ”
"Good recovery."
Li Xian did not answer Wei Chigong's words, but smiled and said something that made Wei Chigong difficult to understand for a while.
"What?"
He asked.
"Your injuries are recovering well, Li Shimin wrote to Gu, begging Gu to send you some medicine for your injuries...... Looking at your current appearance, it seems that the lonely wound medicine still has some effect. ”
"I won't miss you anything."
Wei Chi Gong said very seriously.
"I don't expect you to thank Gu, what does Gu mean ...... You have failed Li Shimin. ”
After hearing this, Wei Chigong's body trembled violently. He didn't know that Li Shimin had asked Li Xian for medicine for himself, and he knew from Li Xian's words that he was actually agitated in his heart, but he deliberately behaved very calmly, because he didn't want to show his vulnerable side to Li Xian at this time. And Li Xian said that he had failed Li Shimin, making it difficult to suppress the excitement in his heart.
"You...... What do you mean?! ”
Li Xian put the black knife on the table on the side, and gently stroked the cold blade: "Li Shimin asked Gu for medicine for you, although there is also the meaning of making Gu paralyzed." But there's no doubt that he really values you, and he doesn't want you to die...... So, even though he knew that doing so would be ridiculed, he still wrote the letter to Lone. ”
"He probably didn't expect Lone's medicine to save you, but he did it anyway. Lone was thinking, maybe he was thinking that no matter whether he could save you or not, he would have to save you and give it a try. And what about you...... But he ran to his death, didn't he fail Li Shimin? ”
Wei Chigong's face turned a little red, and his eyes became messy.
But soon, he took a deep breath to calm himself again: "If it weren't for my really bad luck, how would you know I couldn't kill you?" ”
"You think you're unlucky?"
Li Xian shook his head, and there was a slight mockery in his tone.
……
……
Li Xian didn't continue to say anything, but Wei Chigong knew what Li Xian was going to say: "Can I ask you something, I hope you can give me a true answer." ”
"You ask"
Wei Chigong calmed his heart for a moment, and then asked solemnly: "I overheard Ye Huaichong's conversation with others, and they talked about a person who was terminally ill and about to die, what did they say...... Isn't it yourself? ”
After this sentence was asked, Li Xian's face couldn't help but change.
"Not alone...... But a very important person for Lone. Ye Huaisleeve also hid this matter from Lonely, that person was originally my dearest, but I didn't expect that the one who knew about it in the end was Lone. It's a bit ironic to say, they hide that Lone is afraid of being distracted. But I don't know that the most painful thing is to regret it without knowing it. ”
Wei Chigong was silent for a while, and shook his head regretfully: "It seems that it is indeed not that I am too unlucky, but that I am too rash and hasty." Originally, I planned to lurk in your army, and kill a few of your closest relatives while you were away, so that you can also experience the pain of parting with your relatives. But after I heard Ye Huaisleeve's words, I thought it was you who were going to die...... How can I make you sick and die? ”
"I feel the pain of parting with those close to me...... Lonely has grown up in this kind of pain since childhood. ”
Li Xian shook his head: "You regard Li Shimin as a relative?" ”
"Yes!"
Wei Chi nodded firmly: "The one who kills my lord, I will not let him go even if I am a ghost." ”
"It's boring."
Li Xian said softly: "It's also the most meaningless sentence, do you really think that you will become a ghost?" If all the people in this world who died in vain can be turned into ghosts, then who has no life in the hands of a million soldiers? Those who died have turned into evil spirits, and the world will be so quiet? Solitary...... Killing people is not counted, ten years of killing, and there are many people who die in the hands of lonely people, if they all have to come to ask for their lives, it will not be your turn. ”
"Ghosts are not in the world, but in the hearts of men."
Li Xian said lightly.
"Only a scoundrel who is not in the weather, or a weak person who has been wronged and is powerless to do so, will place the hope of revenge on turning into a demon after death."
Wei Chigong was silent for a while and nodded, looked at Li Xian and asked, "But since I came today, and you didn't kill me immediately, I have to try to see if I can kill you." ”
"How do I try?"
Li Xian asked.
Wei Chigong said seriously: "Since you are conceited and good at martial arts, are you willing to fight with me?" I know it's a ridiculous request, and I wouldn't have said yes if it had been a different story. But don't you want to put an end to my last threat? As long as you kill me with your own hands, you will have peace of mind. ”
"How are you better than Li Shimin? Regardless of martial arts, only talk about the important. ”
Li Xian suddenly asked.
"Not as good as"
Wei Chigong didn't think about it at all, so he answered two words directly.
"Li Shimin also said to Gu what you just said before he died, he didn't give up at the last moment, knowing that he was not Gu's opponent, he still wanted to fight Gu...... Do you know how Li Shimin died? ”
"Ten thousand arrows pierce the body."
Wei Chigong replied.
Li Xian smiled and did not speak again.
"You're really a person who is afraid of death."
Wei Chigong slowly bent down and picked up the iron chisel that was thrown on the ground: "Even so, I still won't give up." ”
Li Xian looked at him and suddenly asked, "Do you know why the guards outside haven't come in until now?" ”
Wei Chigong was stunned and subconsciously shook his head.
"Because Lone has commanded that no one should come in."
"Why?"
Wei Chigong asked.
Li Xian replied seriously: "I have to try my best to try my best to make you change your mind, otherwise the responsibility of missing a door god on the door panel of the next world is a bit big, and I will always feel that I owe something to the people of the next generation...... killed Li Shimin alone, and never relented. Kill you, but a little hesitant. For example, Li Shimin saves you, whether you can save it or not, you have to give it a try. It's the same with Lonely, whether you can persuade you not to die or not, you always have to give it a try. ”
……
……
Wei Chigong didn't understand what Li Xian was talking about, and he didn't understand it at all.
Li Xian knew that he didn't understand, and he didn't plan to explain anything. After arriving in this era, there was more than one hero who died in his hands, and he was immeasurable how much influence he had on future generations. Without Li Yuan's Datang, without Li Shimin's Datang, or not Datang, who can say clearly?
He didn't care much about these, but he was a little lamented that Qin Shubao would be a little lonely if there was only one door god posted on the chaimen in later generations. Maybe it's because it's boring, maybe it's because it's nostalgia.
"You should be lonely and boring."
He chuckled.
Wei Chigong pondered for a while and said, "But since I entered this big tent, you have never said a word about recruiting me. ”
"Promise you a high-ranking official?"
Li Xian smiled and said: "There is no need for this, you have an obsession in your heart, how can some yellow and white things be changed?" Even if you have this mind, loneliness will not keep you. In case you find that you feel guilty about Li Shimin one day in the future, won't you have to trouble Gu again when you come to kill Gu? To eradicate evil, we must naturally eradicate the roots...... You have to think more about the future. ”
"Then what's the point of you persuading me to spare my life?"
Wei Chigong asked.
"The meaning lies in the fact that there is a false life in one's heart."
Li Xian slowly stood up and looked at the black knife in his hand: "Killing Li Shimin alone, shooting him with thousands of archers, and making him die in the battle array is for the sake of his half-life hero...... Killing you alone is for the sake of all your loyal servants and martyrs. ”
"You're a madman."
Wei Chigong's face turned a little pale, and he suddenly realized that the person in front of him was actually really a little terrifying.
"It's always a little boring to be alone for too long. If you've been bored for a long time, you'll always be a little crazy. You may not know that the greatest pleasure of loneliness so far is to talk to the dying person. But as long as there are living, no one will mention anything to them. ”
Speaking of which, Lone tries to trust anyone. But after more than 20 years, Lone woke up to the fact that the price of easily believing in anyone may be to die countless times, and one death is enough...... Lone has already died once, so he naturally knows the pain of death better than others. Some people may say that he died once. But how can that compare to actually dying once? After experiencing endless darkness, I will always cherish the light. ”
"You said that Lone is a person who is afraid of death, right...... Because Lone knows the preciousness of the light. ”
Li Xian sighed: "You said that you want to let the lonely experience the pain of parting with their relatives...... Did you know that Lone has already experienced two lives? ”
Looking at Wei Chigong's surprised and inexplicable expression, Li Xian suddenly smiled and said, "By the way, I'll tell you something...... After he died, there was no Huangquan Road, no Naho Bridge, and no Hades Yaksha judges in the Netherworld...... There is only boundless darkness, a penetrating darkness, an absolute pure darkness that you have never experienced. ”
