Xiao Qianye laughed: "Hahahahaha...... This is indeed an interesting question. ”

Xiao Qianye paused and said: "But Xiao doesn't have an interesting answer, and the answers to some questions will be more interesting if they are not revealed." And ......"

"Ning Wuxian and Yun Cangxuan have talents that surpass me, and there are many things I need to do to defeat them."

"That being the case, isn't it too early to challenge the Xuanji Sword Sect now? And on the Spring and Autumn list, there may not be only the Xuanji Sword School. ”

Of course, Yan Xing also cares about the chaos that is coming.

Tianji Pavilion, God of Wealth Pavilion, and Haotian Sect tripartite forces fought against the Xuanji Sword Sect and Yunci Valley, although Xiao Qianye launched such a war on the surface to persuade Yan Xing and His Majesty the Emperor, but what the real intention was Yan Xing did not know, at least, he concluded that it was not what Xiao Qianye said, in order to weaken the power of the rivers and lakes.

Xiao Qianye shook his head and said, "Wait any longer, the gap between me and Yuncang Xuanning's innocence will not become smaller." ”

Wake up and moved.

The meaning of this sentence reminded Yan Xing of a terrible thing.

Xiao Qianye said in his heart that it would indeed be easy to communicate with Yan Xing, and he said with a serious expression: "For a person like me, Childe should know that I will not allow an existence stronger than me to stand in my way, and I will never miscalculate my opponent." ”

Yan Xing did not speak.

"Ning Wuxian and Yun Cangxuan, like two swords born in this era, they are also the most feared existence in the empire. But I know that although the world has already thought that these are the two strongest and fastest swords, the world still underestimates these two swords, and if I wait a little longer, they and I will no longer be in the same realm, and at that time, to defeat them is tantamount to a fool's dream. ”

Yan Xing was silent for a long time before he said: "It turns out that above the extreme intention, there is really a more powerful realm? ”

Xiao Qianye nodded and said, "If I hadn't seen the magic power of the True Martial Realm with my own eyes, I would definitely not think so. Legends exist, but legends can also be surpassed. And Ning Wuxian and Yun Cangxuan may be the legends of the next era. I'm not sure that I can defeat Yun Cangxuan, but in the same way, Yun Cangxuan can't kill me, at least not now, and at this time, if he doesn't destroy the Xuanji Sword Sect, if he really takes that step in the future, it will be too late. ”

Yan Xing slowly calmed down, he was shocked by this conversation, but he still couldn't fully believe Xiao Qianye.

Because the person who can make Xiang Wu feel dangerous can't judge according to common sense at all, and he can't judge it according to common sense, and he is soberly concluding that this Tianji Pavilion Master is hiding something and planning something in secret.

But he can't deduce Xiao Qianye's true motives yet.

……

……

Imperial capital, heavenly prison.

The scholar woke up from the pain, and the person in charge of interrogating the scholar was the person from the former Divine Soldier Battalion. It wasn't long ago that the Emperor left. The scholar fell into a coma because of the punishment, and when he woke up again, he looked very haggard.

His prison clothes were covered in blood, and his body was covered in whip marks. The weakness in his eyes made the interrogators very difficult, almost all of the people in the Divine Soldier Battalion watched the scholars grow up, and where were they willing to abuse the scholars? However, the emperor ordered that once the scholar came to his senses, he would be severely tortured until the whereabouts of the thief were inquired about.

It's just that although the scholar has low martial arts in the inn, he is unexpectedly backbone.

Blood was running from his chest, his head was hanging down, and his whole body was bound in chains, waiting for the coming torture.

Also waiting for a person.

He's been in prison for almost a month. But that person never appeared.

Dragon General Xiang Wu. The scholar's original plan was to ask for help from the dragon general, but he didn't want to be captured by Di Yun alone, and the news of his capture had already spread, but the dragon general Xiang Wu did not come to visit the scholar. Even the emperor came, but Xiang Wuqi still didn't arrive.

The scholar was not disappointed at all, all of this was actually within his expectations, he recalled the conversation with the emperor, and probably could think of how difficult Xiang Wu should be at the moment.

Not long ago, he didn't expect that the first person to visit him was not from the Ming family, nor from the General's Mansion, nor from the Yan family, but the current saint.

The little emperor still had a smile on his face. Only this time, what this smile represents made the scholar shudder.

"Honestly, I'm actually sad that you've been caught." The little emperor said.

"Heh, I'm just a cloth cloth, where can I be sad for Your Majesty?" The scholar said.

"No, no, no, I'm really sad, because I originally thought that the person who should be here should be the Yan family, even if it was you here, I wouldn't have come so early." The little emperor said.

When the scholar heard this, he raised his head with difficulty, looked carefully at the face of His Majesty the Emperor, and after a long time, he said: "It turns out that Your Majesty is the real person who holds chess. ”

The little emperor still said with a smile on his face: "Although you are defeated, you are still very smart. ”

The scholar sighed and said, "I thought we were friends, and we were both fallen people at the end of the world. ”

The little emperor's smile gradually disappeared, and he said very seriously: "If I gave you such an illusion, it is my fault. My father, the Emperor, had long said to me that the Emperor's successor had no friends, only slaves. ”

The scholar did not speak.

The little emperor continued: "No matter what kind of attitude I have towards you, whether I appreciate it or rejoice it, I am a king, and I don't need friends in the world except me, because no one in this world is worthy of being my friend. ”

The scholar thought about the little emperor in the past, and only felt a chill from head to toe.

He thinks he is the most tolerant, but now it seems that the little emperor is actually very forbearing.

"I need smart people, but neither can I be too smart. You and Yan wake up, there can only be one left. The little emperor's face smiled again.

"It turns out that everything is in His Majesty's calculations." The scholar suddenly understood everything.

The existence of the Tianji Pavilion is not that the master of the Tianji Pavilion or Yan Xing persuaded the little emperor, but that His Majesty the Emperor intended to continue to appoint the Tianji Pavilion from the beginning. I'm afraid that Xing Xing has already made some kind of choice under the will of the little emperor.

"The world is my world, and no one can stop what I want to do." The little emperor said.

The scholar shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, we are not your enemies. ”

The little emperor said: "That's right, it's a pity that you lost." At least now it looks like you're losing. You have to know one thing, if you survive in the end, or even if the awakening is planted in your hands again, then the Heavenly Machine Pavilion will be wiped out by me. What I choose, always wins. ”

Annexing the Demon Sect, having the empire's intelligence network, and not being hindered by the imperial military, all of these are the bargaining chips that His Majesty the Emperor gave to the Tianji Pavilion, but these chips, if other forces that can cooperate in the future gain the upper hand, will easily change hands. The scholar finally understood what imperial art was. In the previous situation, His Majesty the Emperor let the people of the Yan family lose power, and then continued to reuse the Yan family, the fundamental reason for such a move is that in the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor, there is no so-called loyal ministers and traitors, virtuous ministers and villains, and there are only checks and balances and power in his eyes.

Everyone is his chess piece, when Xiang Wu is easy to use, he will personally favor Xiang Wu, and when the Yan family is easy to use, he will continue to rely on the Yan family.

The scholar sighed: "Your Majesty told me this to conclude that I will not survive this autumn? ”

The little emperor shook his head and said, "Actually, I expect your partner to put on a wonderful show, and as for why I say this to you, because you are a smart person, even smarter than me, so I know that smart people will know how to choose the truth." ”

The scholar understood that this was the last chance His Majesty had given him and the inn. But there was still a chill in his heart, he thought that he knew the emperor well enough, but now it seemed that he still underestimated the emperor.

The scholar stopped talking, and the little emperor turned to leave.

……

……

After a long time, there were footsteps again in the gloomy prison, and the scholar had forgotten how long he had been in the prison, and he described it as withered, and had grown a beard, and when the fire was lit, he felt a slight stinging in his eyes.

The footsteps were heavy. But even harsher is the sound of metal grinding.

When the scholar saw the visitor, he laughed hard: "You are finally here." ”

The person who came was the dragon general Xiang Wu, the fire shone on the black armor, yes, Xiang Wu and the scholar's faces were a little yellow. Xiang Wu said: "It's not easy to see you. If it weren't for Your Majesty's sudden change of attitude, I'm afraid I wouldn't have seen you by now. ”

The scholar didn't want to have too many pleasantries, because he didn't know how long he could last, but when he wanted to speak, he coughed violently, Xiang Wu frowned, he also thought that the punishment received by the scholar was too heavy.

"It's been a long time since we've spoken carefully." Xiang Wu sighed.

"I've never had a moment like this when I wanted to talk to you." The scholar said.

The scholar slowly raised his head, looked directly into Xiang Wu's eyes and said, "I want to know what has happened in these times. ”

Xiang Wu said: "I don't care about the movements of the rivers and lakes. ”

The scholar shook his head with difficulty and said, "But it is impossible for the rivers and lakes not to happen. ”

"Xiao Hunt, this time, I can't save you." Xiang Wu suddenly changed the subject.

He turned around and continued, "I think you must be curious about what charge Your Majesty is for beheading you. ”

The scholar didn't speak, silent meant acquiescence, he really didn't think of why he suddenly became His Majesty's enemy.

"Because your surname is Shen." Xiang Wu said slowly.

"I thought this question was ...... back in your day"

Without waiting for the scholar to finish speaking, Xiang Wu waved his hand and said, "We all underestimated Your Majesty, I think you have already figured it out." There are some things that I can't say as a general of the Empire. But you should know that no one knows what happened back then, which means that no one knows if the royal family will really take a tolerant attitude towards what happened back then......"

The scholar nodded and said with a wry smile: "I don't know if there will be a next time after this conversation, although the question you can't say, I really want to know, but my time may be running out." The grievances of the previous generation of the empire, even if I learn the truth now, it is difficult to undo or change anything. What's more, even you don't know the truth. ”

Xiang Wu said: "I really don't know. ”

"I want to know the whereabouts of the inn." The scholar picks out the problem.

He looked at Xiang Wu's back and could feel that Xiang Wu's face should not be good-looking at the moment.

After a long time, Xiang Wu sighed: "I don't know about the rest of the people, but the Emperor Star Department and Tianji Pavilion have been paying close attention to the movements of the rebels in the Chu State, and the disappearance of the Great Thief Fengzhan is most likely because he was taken away by the Chu people." ”

The scholar thought about it, but in the end he didn't ask the question he wanted to ask.

Xiang Wu continued: "No one knows your sister's whereabouts, but it should be safe, because the inn has not been discovered. ”

There was a hint of relief and a smile in the scholar's painful expression.

"And Ding Qiliang, when he was seriously injured and about to die, he was taken away by the knife ghost, and the blessing and misfortune were unpredictable."

The scholar's smile was even stronger, and the knife ghost took Ding Qiliang away, which for the scholar, it means that the knife ghost went to the south as promised, although I don't know if Ding Qiliang will accept the love of the knife ghost, but at least, Ding Qiliang survived.

It was only that soon the scholar's smile froze.

"As for Chen Hui, the person you chose was defeated and died, and it is said that even the bones are no longer complete." Every word of Xiang Wu seemed to have become a heavy fist, hitting the scholar's sea of knowledge.

The scholar subconsciously wanted to break free from the chains, but in exchange for only pain.

Xiang Wu turned around and said: "Now that you are no longer able to be a pawn of the empire, your position is that of a Jianghu person, but the position of Tianji Pavilion is different from that of Yanxing, so you will change from the account office of the inn to the fugitive of the empire." ”

"Xiao Hunt, this time, I can't get you out."

Xiang Wujun Fang Cai's words were repeated, and the regret in his heart was not hidden.

The scholar's head gradually lowered.

The prison was quiet for a while. It was not the first time Xiang Wu had come to a place like the Heavenly Prison, but this time, he felt that the environment here was particularly bad, unlike the emperor, Xiang Wu had great expectations for scholars, and such expectations had little to do with the talents of the scholars themselves.

More comes from the scholar's life experience.

After a long time, Xiang Wu knew that the scholar would definitely explain something, so he never left.

Until the scholar said slowly: "I want to ask you for something." ”

Xiang Wu said: "You say. ”

"I originally went to the north to seek your help and deal with the Heavenly Machine Pavilion Lord. I expected the inn to lose, but not to catch the shopkeeper......"

The scholar's words revealed a deep sense of sadness.

Xiang Wu said: "I can't deal with Xiao Qianye anymore, now he is not easy to kill because he is strong, and secondly, he is ...... Your Majesty has already passed this pass. ”

The scholar naturally understood all this, and he said: "I hoped that you would make a move, but now, I hope you will not make a move. ”

Xiang Wu pondered for a moment, with a hint of surprise in his expression.

"You haven't given up yet."

"Of course I'm not going to give up. My buddies will definitely find a way to save me, and as long as they are around, the inn will not be a loss. ”

There was the sound of water dripping from the quiet dungeon. The scholar's breathing seemed a little chaotic, and he said softly: "Someone once told me that I would wait for someone who regarded me as a brother, and that person I thought was the treasurer. ”

"Then he won't die."

Xiang Wu didn't speak, but in his heart he didn't think that the scholar's words were correct.

"Your Majesty...... It is a majesty that always chooses the winner, and the ultimate power of the Tianji Pavilion comes from the empire. It is not difficult to destroy the Heavenly Machine Pavilion with the power of the military. But all this must be done if you do not act on the day of my execution. ”

The scholar raised his head, and his weak eyes became sharp:

"It's not over yet! As long as I can survive, as long as my partner can kidnap me...... The situation will change again! ”
