Xia Guo, Shenwu Sect.

Built on the top of the Holy Mountain, this huge palace is magnificent and is divided into twelve halls. Among them, the most sacred one is the Temple of Light, which can only be entered by the masters of the past.

And right now, there is no light in the Temple of Light.

In the hall of Nuoda, there were thirty-six candles burning on the two rows of ten-foot high candlesticks on the left and right, which was not enough to dispel the darkness. The dark polished slate reflected a dim yellow luster, and also reflected a woman in a red robe.

Su Meier is back.

She returned to her homeland and completed the coronation of the Sect Leader on the Holy Mountain. When countless sect members prostrated at her feet, she seemed to be a god who had come from the Immortal Heaven.

She didn't feel happy, the empty eyes had long since lost their color. She knew that the moment she stepped out of Bianjing City, her heart was already dead.

Is a woman with only a shell left as a complete person?

She hadn't thought about it because she had forgotten what to think about now. She didn't even understand what she was living for.

In the Hall of Light, Su Meier stood in front of two huge hollow windows. The graceful windows cut off the howling north wind and her world.

This is her cage.

Her long jet-black hair was already hanging high, and the long red hem of her dress dragged on the dark ground. From a distance, she looked like a second Ling Bingyan - not only inherited the intelligence and superb martial arts of her master Ruhu, but also inherited the loneliness of being with her for thirteen years.

On the bright red veil, Su Meier's eyes no longer lost their charm and agility in the past, leaving only a desperate gray. These eyes looked at the same gray sky from afar, as if trying to see clearly, was there a god in charge of destiny on it?

That's where Don'an's oath arrived.

"I, Tang An, swear to the sky: From now on, I will break off with the demon girl Su Mei'er, and I will break off my righteousness! If you say goodbye, you will definitely fight for your life, life and death! If you violate this oath, you will make me thunder and thunder, die without a whole body, fall into the eighteen layers of hell, and never be able to live beyond the life!! ”

Every word of the oath, every minute and every second, would echo in her ears, deafening. Those words are like steel needles, piercing into the softest place of one's heart one at a time, making it bleed and making it stop beating.

Su Meier looked at it very seriously, looking at the unchanged gray, as if she saw her sad life. Tears flowed down my eyes as I watched it.

There is no shortage of sad people in this world, so why fear one more of her? It is better to die than to be injured to the extreme, maybe even she doesn't know that the reason why she didn't choose to return to the embrace of Immortal Heaven is just because this remnant life was exchanged for three knives by Tang An.

Three knives for life, the price is three words to break the love.

The love is broken, and it can never be taken back. She didn't even dare to recall, those pictures that were stored in the corners, each one was torture.

"Squeak."

The incomparably heavy wooden door was pushed open, and a glimmer of light was sent into the dark hall of light, but this glimmer of light could never shine into the woman's heart.

To be able to enter the Hall of Light without saying hello, there were only two people in the entire Xia Kingdom. One is the leader of the Shenwu Sect, and the other is the emperor of the Xia Kingdom.

The Emperor of Xia is called Zao Wou-Ki and is fifty-six years old this year. In order to integrate the culture of the Western Regions, he also has a semi-Westernized name, called "Supporting the Plough Wuji", which means "Wuji in the world".

The years have not left much of a mark on his face. Maybe it was because he had integrated all the tribes in the Western Regions unprecedentedly, or maybe it was the weakness of the Tang Dynasty that gave him the opportunity to realize his ambitions, he always had a shallow smile on his face without a trace of wrinkles, and the corners of his narrow eyes were slightly upturned, representing his mood that had risen several times.

Su Meier never looked back and did not speak. Her eyes were always looking to the sky, trying to find the answer in her heart.

Zao Wou-Ki paced to her side, his eyes followed the direction Su Mei'er was looking at, and sighed, "Wu Duo, it is the gift of the Immortal Heaven for the sect leader to go west, and he should be happy for her." I understand your feelings for her, but if you can't let go of it in your heart, it will be beneficial and harmless to you! ”

Su Meier is the only seedling left in the Xia State reinforcements. Her words are the most authentic restoration of this crusade. As a result, all the people of the Xia Kingdom believed that Ling Bingyan had "died a martyrdom", and the status of the Divine Martial Sect had jumped to a new height.

But Su Mei'er knew very well that by the day the Tang Dynasty fell, the prestige and status of the Xia royal family would be unprecedentedly consolidated, and the Shenwu Sect would no longer have so much use value.

That would be the end of the Holy Church.

Su Mei'er asked coldly, "Is there something wrong with the emperor?" ”

This attitude made Zao Wou-Ki a little annoyed. But thinking of what he wanted, he still smiled and said, "I don't sell it anymore." This time I went to Datang, although the result was not the same as we expected, but in the end, the national strength of Datang was greatly damaged, and the Shenwu Sect can be said to have contributed greatly. I have gathered more than 300,000 troops to fight for a lethal blow. But you should understand that I always feel that the Xiongnu are the biggest hidden danger at present. ”

When Ling Bingyan traveled east to preach, the Huns wanted to launch a coup d'état and replace the royal family.

At that time, because they had to cooperate with the plan to capture the Tang Dynasty in the east, the Xiongnu had a legitimate reason to gather troops. They originally wanted to take advantage of the emptiness of the Xia Kingdom to kill the royal court and establish themselves as kings, and at the same time hold up a new Shenwu Sect Leader to gain public opinion, so that they can rightfully become the true rulers of the Xia Kingdom.

It's a pity that this plan fell short in the end because of Tang An.

The news had already reached the ears of Emperor Xia, but instead of any countermeasures, he greatly rewarded the Xiongnu Khan.

The reason is simple. The Xiongnu were one of the two largest tribes in the Xia Kingdom, and they were powerful in their own right. Even if they can be uprooted, Xia Guo will pay an extremely painful price. At that time, their roles with the Tang Dynasty will be reversed, and Xia Guo will become a delicious lamb in front of the lion.

Zao Wou-Ki can only endure, but patience does not mean standing still. If they can show enough strength to suppress the Xiongnu, the barbarians of the Western Regions will surely die completely.

The main source of this strength is, of course, Tieler, one of the two major tribes.

Su Meier listened quietly and did not say a word.

"The ambition of the Huns was told to me by you at the beginning, and you must be able to understand the current situation of Xia Guo and me." Zao Wou-Ki continued. "I need someone who can stand up and balance the Huns, so that our plan to conquer the world will not produce any variables. I couldn't sleep all day, and finally came up with a method, and the two most critical characters in this method, one is you and the other is Mo Lingtu. Mo Ling Tugui is the prince of Tiele, young and promising, and he is the vanguard of the army of this Eastern Crusade. When he conquers the city in the future, he will be the great hero of the Xia Kingdom. ”

Zao Wou-Ki's words were only halfway through, but Su Meier clearly felt his intentions.

Marriage?

Su Meier closed her eyes and sneered in her heart.

These damned politicians, stealing the fruit of their own wisdom and ruthlessly using their patriotic heart, are now ...... They don't even let go of what little value they have left.

"Your Majesty, do you want Wu Duo to marry Mo Lingtu?"

Talking to smart people is always so simple and pleasant. Zao Wou-Ki smiled even more, and had no intention of hiding his mind at all.

"I've always been straightforward, and since you've guessed, I'll tell you the truth." Zhan Wuji took two steps forward and came to Su Mei'er's side: "Wu Duo, you are not too young, is it possible to guard the Holy Sect for a lifetime?" Don't forget, you are a woman after all, and a woman has to marry sooner or later, and she has to meet a good man, which is a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes. What's more, even I have heard of his heart for you. As long as you are willing to nod, you are the future Princess Tieler! ”

Forcing the leader of the Shenwu Sect to marry someone was never possible in the past. But now is not the past, the increasing stability of the imperial power has made the role of the Shenwu Sect become more and more diluted, and the young woman in front of him is not the Ling Bingyan who makes him feel pressure.

The title of princess will definitely make countless women rush to it, but Su Meier is obviously not included among these people.

There was no wave on her face, and her eyes were still indifferent, as if she was listening to something that had nothing to do with her.

The smile on Zao Wou-Ki's face disappeared, and he sighed, "Wu Duo, I hope you can think it through." Marriage with Tie Le, with you, with me, with Mo Lingtu, and even with the entire Xia Kingdom, is a beneficial and harmless thing. Now that you have taken over as the leader, you should stand on the top of the mountain and look down on the earth. Although you can only see the Western Regions now, I promise that as long as you are willing to nod, I will let you see the whole world! ”

"Slave promised."

"Udo, since you ...... Miscellaneous...... What the? ”

Zao Wou-Ki prepared a lot of rhetoric, and it was best to be able to impress this proud phoenix, but if she didn't toast and eat at the end, he also prepared a lot of threatening means.

A woman who wants to carry forward the Divine Martial Sect shouldn't be able to see the Holy Sect that is not easy to see the light of day again, and once again become a Demon Sect that is spurned and ridiculed by the world, right?

But before he could say these words, Zao Wou-Ki had already heard the answer he wanted in his heart, so that his expression was a little stunned, wondering if he had heard it wrong?

Su Mei'er's eyes wandered to the ugly and hypocritical face opposite, and said lifelessly: "You want the slave to marry Mo Lingtu, and the slave said that the slave promised you." ”

Zhao Wuji was overjoyed, and finally showed a joy that could not be concealed, and said happily: "Wu Duo, I really didn't misunderstand you. You can rest assured, as long as I am there for a day, I will definitely make the Shenwu Sect the object of worship in the Xia Kingdom and even the world. ”

Su Mei'er ignored these ethereal promises and interrupted, "But I have one condition. ”

Zao Wou-Ki was in a good mood and said, "Just say it!" ”

"Let the slaves go to war." Su Mei'er stared at Zhao Wuji very seriously, "Let the slave go to the battlefield of the decisive battle with the Tang Dynasty with Mo Lingtu." As long as you promise, the slave has nothing else to ask for. ”

Zao Wou-Ki only said that Ling Bingyan's "death" hit her too hard, making her eager to avenge her teacher, and she didn't think about it at all. Laughing heartily, "What's so difficult about this? On the day of my departure, I will grant you a place! The two of you are expanding the territory for me, and the other is consolidating the hearts of the people for me, and I am really happy to see my right-hand men come together, hahahahahaha! ”

Su Meier didn't seem to hear Zao Wou-ki's hearty laughter, but turned her eyes to the gray sky again.

He didn't know how painful it would be for a person without a heart to live in this world. What is even more tragic is that the vow of determination has cut off the way to find happiness.

Knowing that you will be lonely and sad forever, it is better to leave this cruel world as soon as possible. It's just that Su Meier is still a little reluctant.

If he could let himself see her again before he died, it would be the greatest gift that Changshengtian gave him.

He saved her life with blood, and of course she should cherish it. Facing the sky thousands of miles above, Su Meier silently said in her heart: "Even if you die, the slave only wants to die in your arms......"
