"You seem to ...... I felt guilty. Looking at Feng Bujue, who slowly got up, Cao Qin said indifferently.

"No, I'm just not worth it for her." After Feng Bujue stood still, he cast a cold gaze at Cao Qin, "As a chess piece, her life is too heavy and sad. ”

"Chess pieces...... ......" Cao Qin said these words slowly, and then smiled, "Lord of the Seal...... There seems to be nothing in this world that can hide from your eyes. ”

"Now that Lin Yan is dead, you can always tell me the ins and outs of the matter, right?" Feng Bujue continued.

"Yes, ......yes," Cao Qin said, "but...... Is that really necessary? ”

"Gong Cao is clever and far-reaching, if you don't find someone who can understand you and say this......" Feng Bujue responded, "Isn't it a pearl secret investment?" ”

"Huh...... All right. Cao Qin smiled.

He paused for a few seconds, collected his thoughts, and then continued, "This is the ...... I have to start with the year when the spirit was on the sword. ”

"Feng, listen up." Feng Bujue answered.

Cao Qin nodded and continued: "Back then, once the sword was discussed, the world was shocked. The collusion between Lin Chang and Qian Wei, the former commander of the Jinyi Guard, undoubtedly reached the ears of the first emperor. The first emperor thought that this matter should be taken as a warning and should not be taken lightly...... If the Jianghu forces and some forces in the DPRK secretly form a party, then they will soon become a force that no one can control, and even pose a threat to the imperial power. He paused for half a second and then said, "So...... Soon after, a long-term, heavy mission fell on my shoulders. ”

"I see...... Feng Bujue asked, "It's been since then......"

Cao Qin did not respond to his words, but went on to narrate: "In order to achieve this mission, I need two chess pieces, one of which is ...... He is a person whose martial arts are the best in the world and who obeys my words; Second...... He is a person who is ambitious, persevering, and knows how to seize opportunities. ”

"That is, Lin Yan, and Yuan Qi." Feng Bujue answered.

"Heh......" Cao Qin smiled but did not answer. I said to myself, "It takes time to cultivate the first person, but fortunately, the last thing I lack is time." Since there is no shortage of time, the next thing to determine is the candidate. He paused," Lin Yan ...... It's the perfect fit. ”

"It's easier to control a little girl like that, isn't it?" Feng Bujue said coldly.

"It's not as easy as you think, but...... I did succeed. Cao Qin replied quite proudly.

Then, Gonggong Cao untied the wine jug hanging from his waist, took a sip and said, "After Lin Chang died, his widow who was pregnant with his widow was kicked out of the Ye Mansion. I sent spies from the East Factory to keep an eye on her in the shadows for a few years. I want to see if I can find out Lin Chang's martial arts secrets from her. Outcome...... I didn't find the 'Too Void Phase Dafa', but ...... My spies were surprised to find that Lin Chang's daughter was actually a peerless genius with outstanding bones. ”

Speaking of this, Cao Qin also subconsciously glanced at Lin Yan's corpse: "I've waited for five years, and I feel that the time is almost over...... So he sent someone to release a message that Lin Chang's widow had hidden in a small town with the peerless secret left by her husband.

Sure enough, within half a month, some gangsters who smelled fishy were lured in.

That night I hibernate in the dark. waited until they forced Lin Yan's mother to death, and then rescued the girl.

From then on, I became her stepfather. ”

"And then you sold me?" Feng unconsciously interjected.

"Huh...... Lord, you have to understand. Cao Qin said. For people to grow, they must be motivated. Her mother's death was indeed a great irritation to her, but the murderers had been dealt with on the spot; It's not like I haven't thought about it...... deliberately let a few people leave, so that they would become Lin Yan's future target for revenge. But let's be honest...... That's the class. Not qualified at all. With Lin Yan's qualifications, he could kill them all before he was ten years old to take revenge. ”

"So...... I, the 'enemy who killed my father', became the best choice. Feng Bujue continued.

"You can also see her martial arts now." Cao Qin stretched out a hand. He gestured to the corpse over there, "Lord Seal, you should feel honored...... Without you, there would be no Lin Yan today. ”

"You'd better move on to your mission." Feng Bujue never turned his head to look at Lin Yan, but just looked at Cao Qin and communicated with him in an unfriendly tone.

In the more than ten years since then, Lin Yan's martial arts can be described as a rapid advance. Her comprehension is extremely high, and since she was six years old, she has built a foundation with her life and mystic skills, and she has been passed on countless times...... By the age of eighteen, there were few figures in the martial arts who could compare with her. Cao Qin continued, "And most importantly, she is very obedient...... In contrast to hatred, she was full of gratitude to me as a 'life-saver' and 'mentor'. As long as I ask her to do the task, she will not hesitate to complete it. ”

"If I'm not mistaken...... 'Hades' was born at that time, right?" Feng Bujue asked.

"Exactly." Cao Qin replied, "The existence of the Valley of the Burial Heart, and the legend of the 'Immortality' of the 'Hades'...... It's all part of the plan. He took another sip of wine and looked at Brother Jue with a strange look, "You should be able to understand that those exercises that last forever are actually not 'martial arts', but 'dao'. What about me...... I only entered the Tao with martial arts when I was over fifty years old, and Lin Yan took advantage of my light...... In order to keep her young and show her 'ageless' appearance, I will pass on some of her occult skills every year, and instruct her to meet with all the residents of the Burial Heart Valley every month to let them testify. ”

"But to do that...... It's different from real immortality, right? Feng Bujue continued.

"Nature is different." Cao Qin said, "Didn't you see it just now...... Once the power is gone, her body will age exponentially. ”

"To put it bluntly...... You're overdrawing her life early. Feng Bujue said.

"I'm helpless too...... After all, Dao Heart is different from martial arts, and it is not something that people of her age can easily cultivate. Cao Qin raised his hand, "In order to make her look ageless, this is the only way." ”

"That'...... And then? Feng Bujue didn't want to hear this anymore, so he asked another question.

Cao Qin also continued very calmly: "Twenty-one years ago, things on this side of the Burial Heart Valley have basically settled down. I felt the time was right, so I started looking for a second piece. He looked up at the cherry trees beside him, as if remembering something, "That year." It was the first year of Shengping, and after the death of the first emperor, the crown prince ...... That is, the current emperor has just ascended the throne. It was a period of murder, and there was a bloody storm in the court, and countless heads fell to the ground......

For 10 months of that year, I racked my brains to charge a group of people who were on the wrong side of the line, and sent their families to the execution ground.

It wasn't until the moon that I had a little free time, turned into a blind fortune teller, and went for a walk on the rivers and lakes......"

"It was then. You have chosen Yuan Qi. Feng Bujue continued.

"He......h," Cao Qin said, "it can also be said that Yuan Qi found me by himself." He took another sip of wine and added, "The encounter with him is indeed a coincidence." At first, I didn't think he was quite in line with my requirements, because he was a bit mediocre and not young; But then I found out...... That's why he's the best person – the clearer a person is to recognize his mediocrity, the more he understands the value of opportunity. Again...... Yuan Qi himself has half a set of Xuangong in his hands. It also saves me a lot of trouble. I have to say...... That's the chance. ”

"That's it...... Both pieces are buried. Feng Bujue said.

"Yes, yes." Cao Qin smiled, "What will I do in the future...... It's just waiting, waiting for the time to come. ”

"And the emperor ...... The timing has been chosen for you. Feng Bujue continued.

"What do you seem to know?" Cao Qin said.

"I knew from the beginning that this was behind this. It was the emperor who was the pusher. Brother Jue replied, "I want to ...... He's not critically ill at all, is he? ”

"Hahaha...... Cao Qin laughed, "Amazing." ”

"It's nothing powerful, it's just a simple reasoning." Feng Bujue said. "If the emperor really wants to find some 'immortal technique', just ask you, the Dongchang factory prince who is getting younger and younger, why bother looking for the 'Hades'......" he paused. In addition, after listening to what you just explained, I can basically be sure...... The matter of Hades, as well as the mission given to you by the previous emperor, the current emperor also knows everything. It can be seen that this so-called "searching" mission actually has another purpose......"

"It's easy to chat with the lord of the feudal liao~" Cao Qin nodded, "You're right...... This journey is actually a 'cleansing' mission. When he said this, his expression became slightly more serious, "Now the saint is very old, and he only has a young son under his knees, and he has not officially established a prince. And the king of Jin, Zhu Zhihao...... The years are just right, and his reputation among the people is also quite high, although he himself has no intention of trespassing, but the court wants to push him...... And there are not a few people who take advantage of this.

The civil servants are easy to do, and I have a hundred ways to kill them; But the Jinyi Guard, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, the Forbidden Army, and even those in my Dongchang ...... It's not that easy to deal with. ”

"At this moment, these people must be dead, right?" Feng Bujue also saw the corpses in the villa, so he guessed one or two.

"Huh...... That's of course. Cao Qin said, "On this trip to the Valley of the Burial Heart, I have made up the most deserving ones...... It can be solved at one time, which is very worry-free. ”

"What about the mission that the first emperor gave you?" Feng Bujue asked again.

"Well...... Cao Qin's expression changed slightly, "I used the 'Technique of Immortality' as bait to lead Yuan Qi to lead many martial arts people to gather here, originally wanting them to fight with the people in the valley trained by Lin Yan...... The first-class masters of the Central Plains martial arts were wiped out at one time. He paused for two seconds and then said, "Then, I just need to let Lin Yan go to the martial arts to start a sect...... In three years at most, she will be able to dominate the world. ”

"So...... The rivers and lakes have become the things in your hands. Feng Bujue continued.

"No...... It is the emperor's hand. Cao Qin said, "...... I'm just a person who does things. ”

"Say whatever you want......" Feng said unconsciously, "but...... Now Lin Yan is dead. ”

"yes, she's dead." Cao Qin said.

"Then who will be this martial arts supreme?" Feng Bujue said.

"Huh...... Anyone can, but you can't. Cao Qin said with a smile.

"Why?" Feng asked knowingly.

"Because you're a person who can't be controlled." Cao Qin said, "Even me...... I'm also afraid of people like you. ”

"So......" Feng motioned to the other party to continue.

"So......" Cao Qin finished the last sip of the pot, "you'd better die here." ”

"I thought we were friends." Feng Bujue said.

"We do have a friendship, if possible...... I don't want to kill you either. Cao Qin said, "But for the sake of my ideals, I must kill you." ”

"Ideal?" Feng Bujue put on a dead fish eye, "You are a person who has entered the Tao, and you are still working hard for the imperial court, so I won't complain......" He laughed dryly, "But...... You actually say that you have ideals? ”

Yes, Cao Qin certainly has ideals.

As mentioned earlier, he was a detached man.

Fame and fortune, glory and wealth no longer matter to him.

The invincible martial arts in the world, he already has it.

Stunning Beauty ...... Don't mention it.

In short, the things that most people in the world pursue are no longer what he is pursuing.

However, Cao Qin still has ideals.

What he considered was not so much an "ideal" as an "idea".

"Confucianism uses literature to disrupt the law, and chivalry uses martial arts to violate the ban." Cao Qin's voice suddenly became high-pitched, and his eyes became very sharp, "In a word...... Only then can we put an end to party strife. Only by dominating the rivers and lakes can there be no more so-called 'rivers and lakes' in the world.

It's easy to kill, but it's hard to punish the heart; Burying the Valley of the Heart, burying not only people, but also hearts.

I did...... What I have is time, and even if it takes another fifty or a hundred years, I will accomplish all this.

When I succeed on the day, I will be able to live for thousands of years, and the country and the people will be safe. ”

"Okay~ah~ That's a good point." Feng Bujue put his hands in his pockets, tilted his head and said, "But when the time comes, you ...... Isn't it a heresy that must be eliminated under this system? ”

"This ...... You don't have to worry about it......" Cao Qin said, throwing away the flask in his hand and letting go of his breath.

At that moment, the surrounding cherry blossoms collapsed like snow, and the mist swirled like a whirlpool.

The dawn of dawn also fell from the sky at this time......

This is the first time in many years that Cao Qin has taken a serious attitude to exercise. Because he knows...... The opponent in front of him is worth his doing.

"The lord of the liao, you don't need to be polite." In the chaotic falling flowers, Cao Qin flipped and raised with one palm, "You and I are fighting today, life and death are up to the sky, no complaints and no regrets!" (To be continued......)
