Chapter Forty-Eight: Akath's Doubts

Because I have really experienced the almost cold experience of killing, I will so solemnly warn others. Even before today, Akasi didn't think he would say this to anyone.

An assassin with the name of the Grim Reaper tells a little girl not to despise life and not to take pleasure in killing. It's somewhat unconvincing.

But in a way, it seems that the person who is most qualified to say this is also Akasi.

This may have been an Assassin's ...... Gentleness and kindness.

Only in this conversation, the last heir of a public loser who had been wanted by the empire for a long time, and a feared assassin on the continent, two people who had nothing to do with each other, suddenly became friends.

Maybe it's the kind of understanding that only exists between monsters and monsters.

Seeing Akasi's solemn appearance, Gongyu Liuli nodded subconsciously.

It's a little boring, obviously this person should be a person who can talk about these taboos unscrupulously, and now he seems to be the same as his brother and the shopkeeper's brother. But there was a difference, and she could feel the weight of the admonition in Akasi's words.

It was like a warning that once you crossed the past, you would never be able to turn back.

"You...... Lost? Gong Ruri asked.

Akasi still shook his head.

His greatest value lies in the fact that he is a top-notch assassin with powerful killing skills and unrivaled speed. Therefore, Akasi has always known one thing, his existence is to explain what the strongest assassin is. This profession can never get rid of the word murder.

But people have two motives for doing something, one is rational and the other is natural.

He has always been very rational calculating what kind of people should be killed and what kind of people should not be killed. It's not what kind of people he wants to kill, and what kind of people he doesn't want to kill.

This is a bottom line that Akasi thinks is important. It's also something he's never explained to others, but now, he's talking about it like this.

Akasi felt that he had talked a little too much today. The little girl was very happy. But that was the end of the conversation between the two.

The people of the inn have arrived.

Akasi also understood that the people in the inn were very casual, so he used this courtyard as a place to talk.

Zhong Yunxiu was a little tired, and Akasi said without waiting for Zhong Yunxiu to speak: "A peaceful death is not bad luck, and this is one of the things that cannot be stopped by manpower. ”

It is precisely because the passage of time and life span are things that human beings cannot grasp, that people will want to live as wonderful as possible in a short period of time.

Zhong Yunxiu nodded and said softly, "I will do my best." ”

Akasi looked at the scholar and said, "As you can guess, I didn't invite the shopkeeper and even the innkeepers to come here to treat my father. ”

The scholar said, "But you still waited so many days. ”

Akas paused and said, "You don't seem to be in a hurry at all. But now, the rivers and lakes are in chaos. ”

The scholar said: "When will the rivers and lakes not be chaotic? ”

"I want a suggestion." Akasi thinks that since the conversation has begun, there is no need to hide it.

The scholar didn't speak, and Chen Hui listened quietly.

"When Xiao Qianye was still there, he was very ambitious, and you must be very puzzled at one point, so why should I help a person who likes chaos."

"Indeed, the forces of the Southern Barbarians are too scattered after all. The Nanban Secret Realm is not an opponent of the Empire, nor is it an opponent of any great power, all you can do is be an attendant of the Empire most of the time. ”

The scholar's words are also very straightforward.

"And the attendant always dies in the most chaotic time, the chaotic era that Xiao Qianye wants to bring is not just the rivers and lakes, what he wants to disrupt is the whole world. Why are you helping him? ”

Akasi was silent for a moment, and finally sighed: "Have you ever thought about it, even if Xiao Qianye is gone. That time will come. ”

The era of chaos in the world.

"Thirty years ago, in the First War of Qin and Chu, there were too many secrets hidden in it. As a great power for hundreds of years, the most powerful overlord on this continent, the Chu State collapsed too quickly, and it is difficult to know what kind of power the Qin State hid during this period. But we all know one thing. You used to be a member of the Tianji Pavilion, and you have read some of the intelligence files of the Tianji Pavilion somewhat. ”

Akasi looked at the scholar, who nodded and said:

"I also have things that I try my best to find out, the information of Tianji Pavilion, but everything I can consult, I have seen it, but the thing you are referring to should be the Chu State, right?"

"Yes, everything has come true now. If there is no Xiao Qianye, maybe last year's Northern War would have ended faster, but whether Xiao Qianye exists or not, the battle between Qin and Chu will come, the empire has always had evidence of their existence over the years, and now, they have come out of the darkness, where is the difference between the forces of Chu and the Wanzang tribe of Tieli State, I believe you should be very clear. ”

Akasi continued: "Now that they occupy the south, Lianqing City is in the belly of the empire, and my Silver Moon Country, behind them, is on the border of the Southern Barbarians, the Demon Sect has officially risen, and is in such a 'behind enemy lines' position, how should we deal with the many tribes of the Southern Barbarians, my Silver Moon Country?" ”

It's a slightly heavy topic, but the scholar has long known what Akasi has to say. He is the bookkeeper of the inn, and there are not many opportunities to settle accounts, because there is really very little business, so more often, he acts as the brain of the entire inn.

At this moment, Akasi did not ask Chenhui, but asked the scholar.

The scholar thought that none of this was the point.

The point is not what Akasi is asking, but who Akasi is asking.

In this kind of state affairs, Akasi did not choose to ask his courtiers, did not choose to ask the empire, did not choose to ask the state of Chu, but chose the inn. For scholars, this is the most important place.

"Why are you asking us?" The scholar spoke.

"This goes back to the previous question, the reason why I helped Xiao Qianye. I am a killer, I have seen many powerful organizations, Tianji Pavilion is the most of them, with the most top talents in all walks of life, with the support of the empire, and with the strength that is so strong that it is not lost to the top sects of martial arts. This has given Tianji Pavilion enough capital to change the times. The financial, manpower, and intelligence are impeccable, Xiao Qianye promised me that when the era he wants comes, the Nanban Secret Realm will be the last pure land in the entire continent. That's why I joined Tianji Pavilion. ”

"And now, the Heavenly Machine Pavilion has fallen. It was not destroyed in the hands of the imperial elites, nor was it destroyed in the forces of the martial arts giants, but because of an inn. ”

Akasi's eyes were as deep as the stars.

"Now there is such a saying in the rivers and lakes."

The question was asked by Ding Qiliang:

"What's that?"

"This end-of-the-house inn may be the salvation of martial arts."

Ding Qiliang smiled and said: "Hahaha, such a statement is really happy." ”

"Tianji Pavilion was defeated by you, and for that alone, you have already proved this statement."

Akasi looked at the people in the inn and said, "Many years ago, your master defeated half of the martial arts and saved half of the martial arts, and it became a legend. And now, what you are doing is also creating a legend. Xiao Qianye is a person who is obsessed with proving that legends are true, and in this regard, I think he is very charming. When the time comes, many powerful people will always be created first. ”

Ding Qiliang was very happy, his heart blossomed, he never thought that the assassin on the Moon Cliff last year, who had the ability to kill them all, would say such a thing a year later.

Last summer, when he was rescued by Chen Hui on the way to Nanban, he was still a thorough cook.

He has his own dreams.

But in the past year, he has experienced a battle with the Qi family, and although he lost, he became famous in a fight. He also participated in the armed forces conference, winning the most critical time for the arrival of Chenhui. During the War in the Western Regions, he was equally active, single-handedly blocking many elites of the Haotian Sect. And when he was in the field, facing the two Emperor Star Generals, although they were injured Emperor Star Generals, he never let them intervene in Chenhui. In Yunci Valley, he even forced back the invincible opponent Nie Wuxian.

Ding Qiliang rarely wins anyone, he keeps losing, but he never retreats, and even says that the speed at which he advances is amazingly fast.

This is Ding Qiliang, the cook in the inn, he is like this, and the rest of the people are also like this.

The performance of the inn in the first year of the rivers and lakes, Akasi has seen it, from the moment he rescued Yazo and the shopkeeper wanted to kill Mizo, from the only person in the world who can compete with him in speed has become the running hall of the inn, Akasi has been paying attention to this end-of-the-road inn.

Therefore, at the martial arts conference. He didn't debunk the scholar's strategy. At that time, in fact, Akasi found that the "waking up" was not right. And in the subsequent many confrontations between Tianji Pavilion and the inn, Akasi was almost always a bystander.

Akasi, who has a keen sense of smell, finally made a decision, that is, to help the inn in the cracks that Tianji Pavilion had never noticed.

Because of this, Chen Hui was able to escape death.

The reason Akasi did all this was simply trusting his instincts. The instincts of the best assassins in the world are always accurate.

Everyone in the inn, whether it is Ding Qiliang, Zhong Yunxiu, Fengzhan, or scholars, even the little girl who talks about killing people with herself, in Akasi's view, everyone is gradually becoming a legend of this Jianghu.

This is especially true of the shopkeeper.

So in the end, Akasi chose to ask the inn.

The inn owes him a favor. As for the dispute between Qin and Chu, he couldn't foresee the outcome, nor could he foresee how wide the impact would be after this war started. As the guardian of the Silver Moon Country, he must deal with everything in advance, as well as ...... Find a strong and reliable ally.

This ally cannot be the forces of the State of Chu or the forces of the State of Qin,

But in this Qin-Chu dispute, there must be a strong strength that can change the situation.

Tianji Pavilion was originally such an existence, but today the Machine Pavilion was defeated by the inn. The Pavilion Master was defeated by the Treasurer.

Akasi had a hunch that the coming war might make it difficult for the whole of the world to take sides. And the final victory or defeat of this battle should fall on the forces of the rivers and lakes.

It's just that Akasi found out that these days, Taoism and Buddhism are very quiet. There will be no Pure Land in the empire for such a major event as the Qin-Chu dispute, this may be the most violent storm in the past thirty years, as the leader of the martial arts, Buddhism and Taoism are too quiet at this time.

Regarding Lian Qing's duel, the fiasco of the Sword God, Akasi had also heard about it, but this time, like all the people in the rivers and lakes, he had only heard some rumors.

The final choice, Akasi handed over to the inn.

He believed that this inn that saved the martial arts, once a choice was made, it would affect many forces.

As always, in the battle between Qin and Chu, Akasi wanted to choose the winning side.

The scholar thought for a long time, and finally said, "It seems that in your eyes, we are enough to become a threat. ”

Akasi shook his head and said, "The current shopkeeper may be more powerful than the pavilion master, but the treasurer is not the pavilion master. They will never be the same kind of people, and in that case, no matter how strong the inn is, it will not be a threat to me. ”

"I'm still waiting for your answer." Akasi said.

"It seems that no matter how big or small it is, the person with the highest power is not so easy to be. It's just that this battle hasn't started in the end, that's right, the Chu army came out of the fog, but such a stalemate may continue for a while, and I don't know if the south will be affected, but the south is definitely the safest place, why are you in such a hurry? The scholar said.

"My father, time is running out." Akath responds to the scholar.

The scholar was silent, and with just this sentence, he already understood. In the past, Akasi only needed to say his thoughts, or implement the ideas of the old king, although he was a prince, but he was only a prince.

But now, Akasi is the head of a country.

He has to do more than just the present, he wants to make sure that his country and its people can go into the future.

In this regard, the king of the Southern Barbarians is actually the same as the king of the Northern Regions, Khredub.

Akasi can be the dog of the empire for the sake of the Silver Moon Country, and he can also save the inn from the Tianji Pavilion for the sake of the Silver Moon Country.

He has the name of the Grim Reaper and is not approached by anyone, but even so, he really wants to guard this place. As soon as he thought of this, the scholar suddenly admired this perhaps the most unique king in history.

Zhong Yunxiu said: "I will do my best to make ...... Your Majesty will live a little longer. ”

Akasi shook his head and said, "My father's serious illness only made me aware of this problem, and in the future, I will take over the position of King of the Silver Moon Country sooner or later." ”

From beginning to end, Chen Hui rarely spoke.

After listening to the conversation between Akasi and the scholar, he said slowly: "There is no justice in the war, this country-to-country showdown, you ask us Jianghu people, there is really no need, because as you said, this is the inevitability of the times." I can't tell you who I'm going to help, because that's something I'm not clear about right now. But one thing is certain, I will help those who cannot afford war, and I will fight against those who destroy them. ”

Akasi didn't get an answer, but he wasn't disappointed either. After listening to Chen's words, he thought for a while, and finally sighed:

"That's why I said, you and Xiao Qianye are two kinds of people."
