The spring breeze is warm and the sun is shining, which is just a good weather for outings. But as far as the current Qi country is concerned, most people have lost the interest in outing.

For example, Xie Yuan.

In just a few days, he seemed to have experienced violent ups and downs in his life, from the Duke of Dingguo, who held the three major forces and was admired by tens of thousands of people, to a plague that people avoided in an instant.

The saddest thing is that he has thousands of family fortunes, but he has no way out. In recent days, he has visited the mansions of several important ministers, and those people have either gone out under the pretext of going out, or they have said that they are ill, and he is furious, but there is nothing he can do.

Everyone knew that he and Liu Gong did not have a good relationship, and they also knew that he had lost his favor. With this kind of knot, where do those thoughtful members dare to risk offending the celebrities in front of His Majesty, and what do they have to do with Xie Yuan?

Xie Yuan felt very pathetic. The grimace has almost disappeared, and the Jade Gate has changed hands, losing Feng Zhiyao's Phoenix Terrace, and no longer has its previous status. To put it mildly, he is now just a rich man in the garb of a national prince.

Even if he lost everything, he did not regret his choice. He just didn't understand - why are those people still not sober when the national crisis is at hand, and they are not willing to face the reality in the gentle countryside? Why can't they see through it, the time has come for the Qi Kingdom to face a life-and-death choice?

It wasn't nice to be drunk and I was awake, but this path was his own choice, and he had to go on!

Kishita School Palace, Seifudong Mansion.

Looking at the familiar cave, Xie Yuan was a little stunned. The moment he was expelled from his division by Wei Zhongtian, he made a poisonous oath that he would never set foot here again in this life, unless he could defeat Wei Zhongtian.

With a famous teacher and his own talent, if he is immersed in martial arts wholeheartedly, he believes that he will definitely surpass Wei Zhongtian one day. However, the temptation of power made him relax his pursuit of martial arts, so much so that it would be difficult to deal with a young heir of the Great Snow Mountain.

Thinking back at this time, Xie Yuan couldn't help but feel a little gloomy, because he would never have the possibility of defeating Wei Zhongtian again in his life.

It is very difficult for a proud person to admit defeat, and it is even more humiliating to visit the teacher who left him with shame.

He didn't want to go back to this sad place, but he had to come - because Wei Zhongtian was his last hope to protect the country.

After thinking about it, Xie Yuan finally took a step in the direction of the cave.

He saw a little boy with a wary face in front of the cave, and he knew who this man was. It was his junior brother, a mediocre but loyal and honest little mute, and the heir that Wei Zhongtian had been looking for.

The old man's thoughts were too selfish, he just wanted an heir who would continue to protect the school palace for him, but he didn't think about that person at all, whether he was willing to give up his earth-shattering skills and be willing to be a guard.

Coming to the little junior brother, Xie Yuan said softly: "You may not know me, but you should have seen a woman in white, and I was the one who injured her." It stands to reason that you should call me a ...... Brother. ”

Seeing the little junior brother frowning, Xie Yuan smiled slightly and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I forgot that you couldn't hear anything - what do you think this is?" ”

As he spoke, he gently flipped over his palm, exuding his inner strength, making the little junior brother's body can't help but lean forward slightly, and take a step in the direction where Xie Yuan is.

Whale sucking power!

The little junior brother's pupils contracted suddenly, and he hurriedly breathed through his whole body, and suddenly sent a palm towards Xie Yuan opposite.

Suck the whale against the suck the whale!

The palms of his hands were together, feeling the purity of the other party's skills, Xie Yuan had a hint of appreciation on his face: "Yes, he is worthy of being the heir of his careful training." In less than ten years, I will no longer be your opponent, but unfortunately you are still too young now. ”

As soon as the words fell, only a muffled sound of "bang" was heard, and the little junior brother's body took five steps backwards in a row. Although he was not injured, his face was full of horror.

There is no doubt that Xie Yuan's skills are much more proficient than him, and if it weren't for the mercy of his subordinates, he probably wouldn't have regressed.

But he couldn't let it.

Xie Yuan can suck whales, which proves that he must be a disciple of Wei Zhongtian, but the junior brother has never heard of such a senior brother. Until he knows what he is coming for, he will definitely hold on to the entrance of the cave.

"Let him in."

In the cave, a slightly hoarse voice came. Although the little junior brother can't see it, he can feel the wisp of energy behind him.

He was still vigilant, because he sensed that the man opposite was extremely dangerous, but the master had an order, but he had to get out of the way.

He watched Xie Yuan enter the cave, and his face was full of doubts: Who is this person?

*****************************************************

The cave was still dark, and Wei Zhongtian was still sitting on the stone platform. I really don't know how he survived on the cold and hard stones for so many years.

Xie Yuan came to him and looked at his old face, his heart was complicated.

He remembered that when he left, the old man was still red-faced, and he did not look old at all, and now, he was so thin that he was only skinny and bone, and looked like half a foot in the ground.

No one knows how long this legendary old man will live.

Next year, or tomorrow?

"Sure enough, it's you." Wei Zhongtian squinted his eyes and looked at Xie Yuan carefully, and asked, "How long have we not seen each other?" ”

Xie Yuan thought for a while, shook his head and sighed, "I don't remember." ”

Wei Zhongtian thought for a moment, and then gave up: "The old man also forgot, but the old man thought that you would remember it clearly." ”

Xie Yuan said: "I just need to remember the humiliation you brought me, I don't have the ability to take revenge, what's the use of remembering time?" It only adds to the shame. ”

Wei Zhongtian said: "You mean, you are going to come to the old man today to take revenge?" ”

"What's the point of saying this now." Xie Yuan smiled bitterly, "You must have seen the heir of the Great Snow Mountain, and you should be able to judge my skill from her injuries." If you know that I am not qualified to challenge you, why do you ask such a thing again? ”

"Haha!" Wei Zhongtian laughed, "You are still as smart as you were back then, if this kind of cleverness is used in martial arts, Qi will add another grandmaster." It's a pity, it's a pity. Decades of time are like arrows, and the old man wants to ask you: Is the taste of power really that good? ”

Thinking about his journey from being a supreme minister to his current struggle, Xie Yuan felt a little sad in his heart. But their own suffering can never be seen by outsiders, they only need to look up to themselves.

Xie Yuan said with his hand: "It's better than you staying in this dark place for the rest of your life like a watchdog." ”

Wei Zhongtian didn't get angry, but sighed: "It seems that you are still obsessed. ”

"It's not that I'm obsessed, it's that you're too stubborn." Xie Yuan stared at Wei Zhongtian's face, full of stubbornness. "I'm coming to you today, not to tell who's right and who's wrong, but to ...... Hey, what's wrong with your face? ”

Wei Zhongtian trembled slightly, and secretly sighed that he was still discovered. Needless to say, he could see that his cheeks were slightly swollen. The three great grandmasters were slapped by someone, and every time he thought about it, Wei Zhongtian wanted to kill that bastard.

Coughing embarrassedly twice, Wei Zhongtian looked left and right and said to him: "Say, can you let go of your obsession and come to the old man, what is it for?" ”

When it came to business, Xie Yuan no longer had the interest in chatting, and said, "I want you to kill someone." ”

Before Xie Yuan finished speaking, Wei Zhongtian shook his head: "The old man doesn't kill people." ”

Xie Yuan smiled contemptuously and said, "If you don't kill people, you are actually killing people." ”

"Your excuses are getting worse and worse to get there." Wei Zhongtian said lightly, "In order to protect Feng Zhiyao, I am afraid of losing this chess piece, and you will have to kill the heirs of the Great Snow Mountain." If Mu Jingfeng comes in person, how will you end up? ”

"You're mistaken, it's not her who I'm going to kill." Xie Yuan corrected.

He pondered slightly, combined with Tang An's treacherous dead ghost temperament, and quickly figured out the crux of the matter - it must be that guy who is more cunning than a fox has woven such a set of rhetoric to deceive Wei Zhongtian to heal Mu Rong's wounds.

This bastard!

Xie Yuan gritted his teeth and sneered: "I didn't expect that Master Wei, one of the three great grandmasters, would be regarded as a fool. If I'm not mistaken, there should be a young man who accompanied the descendants of the Great Snow Mountain, right? ”

Wei Zhongtian didn't speak. The guy who made him lose face, how could he forget?

Such an expression is equivalent to announcing the answer.

Xie Yuan sighed and looked up: "You have been in this dark cave for too long, so long that you don't know what has become of the outside, let me tell you: Now that the civil strife in the Tang Dynasty has just passed, the Xia Kingdom has invaded in a big way." Datang tried in vain to drag us into the water and let us send rescue troops to relieve Datang's danger, so an envoy was sent. But saving Datang is equivalent to saving a jackal, they are afraid that someone will see through their conspiracy, so this envoy deliberately concealed his identity, wanting to avoid everyone and directly persuade His Majesty. ”

"You should know what our majesty is. If they succeed in their treacherous schemes, Datang's losses will be greatly reduced, and it will still be a big trouble for us. My Daqi has been surviving in the cracks, and now it is rare to have such an opportunity to become the overlord of the Three Kingdoms, how can I let it go? It's a pity - alas! ”

Xie Yuan sighed deeply and continued: "It's a pity that Your Majesty has been deceived by the villain, and I no longer have the status I once was. That envoy of the Tang Dynasty is a first-class master, and His Majesty was instigated by him, so it is difficult to say whether he will agree. If you really send troops, it will be equivalent to doing Datang a big favor. ”

"The Tang Dynasty has been at peace with us for so many years, not because they don't want to annex us, but because there is a powerful Xia Kingdom in the west that bites them to the death, and there is a restless Lord Xiangguo in the imperial court, and the internal affairs are unstable, so they don't spare the effort to do anything to us. The two of them are now fighting to the death, and whoever wins will be a miserable victory, and they will no longer pose a threat to us. But if we help Datang win the Xia Kingdom, and wait for Datang to recover from it, I believe that instead of being grateful, they will swallow us up! I wouldn't allow that to happen, so secretly and secretly, I always wanted to kill the envoy. It was for the sake of him that the heirs of the Great Snow Mountain were injured by me. But I never thought that they would have the guts to come to Jixia Academy. ”

Wei Zhongtian finally changed color and said, "The person you said ...... Called Tang An? ”

"Exactly!"

Xie Yuan turned his head with a monstrous killing intent on his face: "Old fellow, now you should know that you were also deceived by that cunning guy, right?" When it comes to intrigues, I haven't seen a few people who are his opponents. ”

Wei Zhongtian finally realized the seriousness of the situation, and understood what he meant by the sentence "If you don't kill people, you are killing people".

If Tang An is let go and he successfully borrows the army to relieve the siege of the Tang Dynasty, then the future Qi State is likely to be bleeding under the iron hooves of the Tang Dynasty!

The old man's expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "What do you want the old man to do?" ”

"If it were possible, I would never do such a thing with a dummy. But I've lost everything to deal with him. But His Majesty didn't know it, and invited the villain to come to the grand meeting a few days later. A trace of sadness flashed on Xie Yuan's face, and he looked at Wei Zhongtian and said, "I'm not for myself, I just want to contribute to this country again." If you are still a Qi person, then ...... Kill him! ”

Wei Zhongtian sat quietly on the stone platform, as if he had settled down.

He had long forgotten what it was like to kill. When a pair of hands are stained with too much blood and get everything he wants, he will realize that ambition is nothing more than that. Such a person has no purpose to continue climbing, so he begins to repent and begin to redeem.

Wei Zhongtian didn't want to kill anyone, but ...... If you don't want to kill, you also kill.

So, to kill, or not to kill?
