Chapter 916: The Past

After Qing Cang returned to the throne, more than twenty large and small wounds were identified on his body. Among them, the most serious and fatal wound was the sword that Yin Xuezhu stabbed in the heart at that time, and as for the remaining dozen or so, they were all cut wounds.

"Daddy......" Linlang bandaged Qing Cang's wounds while looking at the old and new scars on his body, and felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

Fortunately, Qingcang is physically strong, although Yin Xuezhu's strength should not be underestimated, but after all, he did not really hit the vital point, and this time he escaped death, Linlang breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's the matter with these wounds?" Linlang asked.

Qing Cang raised his head, glanced at the breath under his body, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

"It's ...... Plotting a rebellion. Qing Cang said: "It's your Uncle Wei." ”

"Uncle Wei?" Linlang's eyes widened.

"He had already expected that this plan was that we were going to eradicate the four major families, so it was inevitable to use the power of the entire Holy Sect, so he was already plotting all this." Qing Cang said: "At first, I just suspected that there were people in the Holy Sect who were against me, but I didn't want to, their power had reached this level. ”

"What the hell is going on?" Linlang looked at the large and small wounds on his father's body, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

"It seems that this surnamed Wei used the discussion and stratagem as a bait to lure the Holy Lord up the mountain, and there were ambushes by several families on the mountain." Nie Qingge saw through Lao Wei's trick at a glance.

Hearing Nie Qingge's speculation, Qing Cang showed a look of surprise, glanced at the young man again, and couldn't help but admire: "It's really terrifying, how do you see this?" ”

Nie Qingge said: "We went all the way up the mountain, and the blood on the mountain was heavier. I took the time to look for the corpses of some righteous people who had been hidden in the hidden bushes, and what happened in the guest room that day, I initially thought it was just a sneak attack by the Holy Sect, but then I figured out that it was probably civil strife. ”

Qing Cang smiled sadly and said, "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, I made you laugh." ”

Only then did he notice Nie Qingge's existence, his eyes lit up, as if he had found some precious treasure, and hurriedly said, "Sit, sit down." ”

"Come on, give a seat to Childe." Qing Cang ordered someone to show Nie Qingge a seat.

Linlang's eyes widened, it was the first time she had seen her father treat people so "politely".

"I haven't asked yet, my son's name is the same as my background." Qing Cang asked politely.

"Nie Qingge." Nie Qingge made no secret of it.

"Oh?" Qing Cang coughed, his body was still very weak, but there was a hint of vigilance in his eyes: "But the Nie family among the four major families? ”

"Exactly." Nie Qingge nodded.

"So to speak." Qing Cang's eyes had a hint of banter in them, and he said, "Aren't you with that Yin Xuezhu?" Hehe, it's a perfect time to take my head. ”

"Not bad." Nie Qingge said.

"Linlin, look, what a dangerous person you brought with me?" Qing Cang smiled and looked at Linlang on the side.

Linlang stomped her feet angrily: "Dad! He, he's ...... by me"

"You were hit by the Holy Gu?" Qing Cang saw through Linlang's little trick at a glance, took her words, and said, "I don't think it's right, he looks like usual, and he walks like a flyβ€”you can deceive the layman, do you want to deceive the father who invented the Holy Gu?" ”

Linlang lowered her head and remained silent.

"Nie Gongzi, I have always acted above board, and flaws will be reported - I'm not afraid of your jokes, and fools can see it, today I saved someone's life, and I will pay it back."

Nie Qingge shook his head and said, "The Holy Lord is serious. ”

Qing Cang smiled and said, "Joke and laugh, I'm not unkind, what does Linlin think, I, an old man, can still understand - are you right, Linlin, this kid really can't move." ”

"What are you talking about, Dad!" Linlang's cheeks were flushed, and she twisted Qing Cang's hand and said awkwardly.

"Don't mention this, there is something that seems to have to be talked to you two." Qing Cang's face sank, and he said with a straight face: "About the events of the year." ”

As soon as he mentioned this, Linlang's face pulled down, and Nie Qingge was silent.

"Linlin, how is the task that Dad asked you to perform?" Qing Cang suddenly asked.

Linlang glanced at Nie Qingge, lowered his head, and said glutinously: "Dad, listen to my explanation......"

Qing Cang waved his hand, sighed, and said, "Needless to say, Linlin, Dad knows your concerns." Since you were a child, you have acted kindly, and you have been more considerate of the consequences of doing things, and my father is very pleased. ”

When he said these words, Qing Cang looked at Nie Qingge on the side, intentionally or unintentionally, and said: "It's just that this time, the stakes are very high, Dad asked you to take action personally, and he didn't intend to let you succeed at one time." ”

When Linlang heard this, her eyes widened.

"Daddy?"

Qing Cang smiled and said, "You know, how noble is Nie Han's identity?" These four families are not fuel-efficient lamps, how can you beat them, a fledgling little girl? I have already arranged secret guards to protect you, and this operation is also to let you explore the truth of the right path, and let you understand the truth in person. ”

As soon as she heard this, Linlang was silent.

Qing Cang smiled again, looked at Nie Qingge, and said, "Who knows, you girl actually got one." ”

"Success?" Linlang was dumbfounded.

Qing Cang smacked his lips, looked at Nie Qingge, and said, "I see, you hit by mistake and were intercepted by this kid halfway, this is much stronger than any Gu poison - I think, this is called love Gu." ”

When Linlang heard this, she didn't follow anymore and shouted, "Dad, you ...... You bully! ”

"Linlin, you went to work within the four major families this time, what did you find?" Qing Cang laughed, ignored it, and asked again.

Although Linlang was not happy, he still told the situation inside the righteous path one by one. And in this, Huang Qi's identity is particularly concerning.

Qing Cang looked at Nie Qingge and said in a deep voice: "It's really weird, from what I've heard, this Huangqi Elixir Valley is not a strong person, how can it be that since this plan, he has been noisy, regardless of Nie Han's face?" ”

Nie Qingge listened to it and said, "I think that this Huang Qi is likely to be at odds with others. ”

Qing Cang smiled and said, "In this way, this righteous path is not all good people. ”

"Indeed." Linlang nodded.

"You must have a stomach full of questions you want to ask your father, right?" Qing Cang looked at Linlang and said.

"I'm not in a hurry, Dad." Linlang shook his head and said, "You have just recovered from a serious injury, so you should have a good rest, and the time is not too early-"

"Eh, wait." Qing Cang was unusual, and said: "I'm not in a hurry to rest, some words are better to be clear." ”

Linlang obediently sat back in place and nodded.

"You must be very puzzled, my father and these righteous paths, as well as the grievances between your mother." Qing Cang sighed, his eyes full of the past.

Linlang nodded, hesitated for a while, and said, "I think...... Great Elderβ€”I mean Nie Han, doesn't look like a bad person. ”

Qing Cang laughed miserably and said, "I had the same idea as you at the beginning. ”

At this moment, Qing Cang seemed to open the conversation box and said, "This matter starts from twenty years ago. I may be more familiar with Nie Han than you, after all, he was my adoptive father and my master at the beginning. ”

Hearing Qing Cang's words, Linlang's eyes almost popped out, and she trembled inarticulately: "Can ...... You! How could it be! ”

"Linlin, don't worry." Qing Cang glanced at Nie Qingge and said, "This kid may understand. ”

Nie Qingge was silent for a long time, and said: "I only know that twenty-seven years ago, there was a small family in Jiangnan, which was originally an inconspicuous family in the righteous path, but because of the expansion of power, it followed ...... colluded with the Demon Sect and was eradicated by the Great Elder alone. ”

Qing Cang smiled and said, "What you say is basically the truth, and you don't need to hide it." How majestic Nie Han was back then-yes, our family was indeed blinded by lard and carried away at the beginning-but what is his identity Nie Han? One person and one sword, killed from Linfen to the south of the city, there were thirty-six people in the family, and I was the only heir, all of whom died at his hands. ”

"But ......" Linlang listened, her eyes were shocked and angry: "This Nie Han is not your ......"

"Adoptive father." Qing Cang glanced at Linlang and said, "That's right, he is called a lot of people - all the killings who participated in the rebellion, but at that time I was just a little hairy man who had not dried up, and I neither threatened him nor participated in the rebellion." He did this evil thing, and he didn't want to bear the infamy, so he had to raise me as a last resort. ”

Linlang was silent.

Qing Cang continued: "But he never dreamed, there is not a day that I don't remember the events of that nightβ€”he was as calm as a machine, just raising his hands as if he were doing an ordinary thing, like this. ”

Qing Cang's eyes were red, bloodshot was diffuse, and his hand repeated the actions of the year, and his voice was a little hoarse: "That's it, a human life." ”

"When I got to my eyes, Nie Han's body was covered with blood, and I could see that cold face from afar, not dripping with blood - I didn't know how to express my feelings, just like anger but no place to stay, sadness and I didn't know how to vent."

"He raised me to adulthood, and I met your mother." Qing Cang looked at Linlang and said, "Her name is Yin Xuerou, she is the eldest lady of the Yin family, and she looks exactly like Yin Xuezhu." ”

Linlang gritted his teeth and said, "So...... Mother is also ......"

Qing Cang nodded, confirming Linlang's thoughts: "That's right, your mother is also a righteous person, at the beginning, I was under the fence of the Nie family, and everyone made a face to me - just imagine, who would treat a stinky boy who colluded with the Demon Sect with a good face?" Hmph, but Dad doesn't blame them, after all, it's just a bunch of ignorant ants. ”

"But only, your mother is different, she treats me like everyone elseβ€”no, your mother treats me better."

Linlang's heart fluttered, she almost didn't remember her mother's appearance, and now listening to Qingcang talk like this, there was a wonderful feeling that spanned time.

"......"

"When she decided to make a private deal with me for the rest of her life, the two sides were at war." Qing Cang took over again: "At that time, the Demon Sect was powerful, and there would be a bloody battle between good and evil. And I, when I received the task of the Great Elder, was to lurk in the Holy Sect - but after I came, I realized that what is good and evil is different - is just the same thing, I quickly saw the trick here, eloped with your mother, and I didn't plan to take care of the affairs of the rivers and lakes anymore. ”

Linlang's heart moved, if it was really as Qingcang said, what would life be like now?

"It's a pity that those sanctimonious villains obviously don't think so." Qing Cang clenched his fists and said, "This great elder assassinated your mother and forced me to draw a line with the Demon Sect - hehe, when your mother fell into my arms and swallowed, your father made a decision - he is bound to fight these hypocrites to the end!" ”
