Although this old fox said that he was withered, and he didn't know how much he had suffered these days, but at this moment, looking at those eyes, there was still a burst of essence, if it weren't for the essence in those eyes, for a moment, Chu Nian looked at the haggard middle-aged man in front of him, and almost forgot that one of the people who pushed the Su family into the abyss step by step was the middle-aged man in front of him.

Wang Zixuan's smile was not flattering, but it was uncomfortable to look at, he raised his head and looked at Chu Nian, "The county lord seems to be more mature than the last time I saw him, I think that in these days when the old man is not in the capital, the great cause of the county lord and His Royal Highness the prince can be regarded as smooth sailing, right?" ”

Chu Nian's eyes were slightly gloomy, and somehow, a trace of desire to simply ask Wang Zixuan to die here rose in her heart, although she still retained a trace of reason in her heart and told herself that even if she solved the Wang Zixuan in front of her now, the root cause of the scourge had not been removed.

The atmosphere seemed to be a little embarrassed, Wang Zixuan didn't mention asking Chu Nian and Tao Jinyan to save him out, Chu Nian didn't plan to open the prison door, the two were at a stalemate, Tao Jinyan on the side looked at it, and said a little helplessly: "Why don't you talk first?" I'm going to look for it, and I'm not sure I'll find any useful clues here. ”

Chu Nian pursed his red lips and didn't speak, Wang Zixuan raised his eyes and glanced at Tao Jinyan, "You go, by the way, the old man listened carefully when he came, you go out from here and turn left, there is a secret room, it is said that there are treasures or something-" A trace of cunning flashed in his eyes, "But be careful, if you are caught, don't say that the old man can't escape, you will also lose your wife and break your army." ”

Hearing this, Tao Jinyan nodded, and glanced at Chu Nian with sideways eyes as if he was quite uneasy, then turned around and went out, and when Tao Jinyan's figure disappeared in the faint light at the end, Chu Nian's eyes flashed slightly and he spoke, "Lord Wang seems to have something to explain to me?" ”

Wang Zixuan raised his eyes, looked at Chu Nian as if he didn't care, and after a while, he sighed and said: "In the past, the old man also wanted to climb up, and all he asked for was money and power, since that monster-like kid captured the old man to the border of the barbarians, the old man finally escaped, and he has been wandering penniless so far, and he has never seen anything. ”

Chu Nianshui's eyes narrowed slightly, as if waiting for Wang Zixuan's next words, and then saw Wang Zixuan continue: "The old man has also thought about it carefully, the relationship between my Wang family and the Queen Mother is just that thin family affection, the Queen Mother has been in the palace for more than 50 years, at first my Wang family was not powerful, she was helpless in the palace, and she had no sense of security, and finally won the favor of the first emperor, so she took this opportunity to ask my Wang family to climb up step by step, in order to want the mother family to be strong, she can also have a reliance in the palace, and she can have peace of mind." ”

He paused, half-lowered his head, and looked as if he had seen through the world, "In the end, in order to pursue this empty sense of security, she lost herself step by step in money and power, right now, I'm afraid she can only see these things, right?" ”

Chu Nian raised her eyebrows slightly, she had thought that Wang Laogou would inevitably undergo some changes after such a long period of upheaval, but the person who once stood at the top of the power and tasted the sweetness of power and money, how could he give up so easily? But now, listening to Wang Zixuan's thorough analysis of the Queen Mother, Chu Nian was at a loss for a moment, and even doubted himself a little, even if he really overthrew the Queen Mother and brought down the dark Rin, so that Ming Xiu successfully ascended to the throne of God, and the people of the world lived and worked in peace and contentment, would those dead souls of the Su family come back?

Seeing that Chu Nian fell into deep thought, Wang Zixuan also smiled, and then continued: "At this point, the old man has finally lived to understand that life in the world is nothing more than satisfying the desires that he was born with, and the goal of some people's lives is only to have food and clothing, but they have food and clothing, and they want more, their desires accumulate step by step, sooner or later, one day they will devour themselves, and sooner or later, the things they have obtained will return to dust and return to dust, so what's the point of running around for a lifetime?" ”

Chu Nian frowned and looked at Wang Zixuan in front of her, she always felt that something was wrong with this, but something was wrong, she couldn't say it, and opened her red lips slightly, "Then Lord Wang thinks that everything that Lord Wang did with the Wang family before was wrong?" ”

Wang Zixuan sneered, "There is no absolute good and evil in this world, everyone has their own responsibilities, as the leader of a clan, the prime minister Wang Zixuan was responsible for the food and clothing of thousands of people in the Wang family, and the desires of everyone in the Wang family, therefore, the old man can only climb up, grasp the rope thrown down by the right, and ask for more rights and more money, just like you, isn't it also responsible for the food and clothing of the entire Chu family?" In other words, what do you think the emperor is doing, is it possible that he is only sincere and conscientious just to be able to sit peacefully on the throne? ”

When these words fell, Chu Nian's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and she pursed her red lips and took a deep breath, "Then what plans will Lord Wang have after he goes back?" ”

"Me?" Wang Zixuan raised his eyes slightly to look at Chu Nian, "I don't have any plans, since the Queen Mother has completely taken over the Wang family, then everything I did before can only be wasted, I am now half of my body into the ground, you can also see, my fighting spirit in the first half of my life has been upside down by this wandering, now I just want to eat a full meal, looking forward to tomorrow I can have two more coppers in my begging bowl, there is nothing bad about ordinary days, being a beggar is much more comfortable than being a prime minister." ”

He raised his head and seemed to look at Chu Nian seriously, "I still have to thank that monster boy, if it weren't for him, I really don't know how comfortable it would be to not worry about being killed by a vendetta all day long." ”

Chu Nian raised her eyebrows, and she also lowered her head and looked at Wang Zixuan seriously, "Having said so much, does Lord Wang think that as long as you can be a beggar and hide for a lifetime, the sins you should repay will not come to the door?" ”

seemed to understand the meaning of Chu Nian's words, Wang Zixuan's face froze, and after a long time, he lowered his head and said: "I'm not afraid, people are inherently dead, this is something that no one can change, to tell you the truth, I have seen more deaths in this period than I have seen when I was the prime minister." ”

Chu Nian lowered his eyes and looked at his stall, and saw that the ragged Wang Zixuan seemed to be a little sad and said: "A few days ago, I had an old man who begged together, the old man was good, I used to be the prime minister of a country, I couldn't let go of this face, the old man begged for leftovers, and I shared half of them, I refused to accept them, so he put the food in the backyard of the temple where I lived, and told me to spend most of the month without food, he has a grandson, and his body doesn't seem to be very good, the old man is too old to walk, Most of the food that I begged for every day was given to me and his grandson, and my body could not hold it for a long time, and the child was gone at night, and the old man did not come out to beg all day, and I went to see him, only to see him lying around and holding his grandson, and he could not wake up again. ”

"There was half a year ago, the boy almost took me to the barbarian city before, I escaped halfway, all the way across the desert back to Da Liang, I just wanted to go back to Da Liang and continue to climb up with the Wang family, I thought, I want rights, I want to continue to be above 10,000 people under one person, I have to let everyone in the Wang family not have to grovel for a little benefit, but I am thirsty, there is no water in the desert, and I met a barbarian couple who secretly came to Da Liang to do business, I am almost dry, so I lie in the desert and wait for death, They passed by, and when they saw it, they muttered that they didn't know what they were saying, so they gave me the kettle, and I knew that I had to drink a lot of water, and I didn't even notice that the faces of the two of them were getting worse and worse, and I later learned that it was the last bit of water for the two of them. ”

Chu Nian didn't expect that Wang Zixuan also had a time to blame himself, at this moment Wang Zixuan was like a child who had done something wrong, and was showing his truest side of himself to her, the biggest enemy, "I blame myself, but I also comfort myself, this is all for the Wang family, as long as I go back, the Wang family will definitely be fine, if I don't go back, ......"

He took a deep breath, "I didn't expect that I drank all the water of the two couples, and I was going to sneak away at night, but the two couples didn't blame me at all, but gave me a map of returning to Da Liang, do you know, when I met those two couples, they had already walked from the barbarian realm to Da Liang for three days and three nights, three days and three nights, there was no water, how could those two couples move forward in the desert?" ”

Chu Nian frowned and continued to listen, Wang Zixuan didn't want to stop sharing his story with Chu Nian, just took a breath and continued: "I, Wang Zixuan, admit that I killed countless innocent lives with a single sound, thinking that I was numb, but when the wife of the young couple was stung by a scorpion in the desert and died under my nose, I still couldn't help it, the man wanted to bury his wife, Da Liang was closer, I went back to Da Liang with him to buy a carriage and buy a coffin board, I watched the man's expressionless face until I accompanied him to bury his wife on the boundary outside Da Liang, and then I saw him kneeling on the ground and crying......"

In the darkness, Wang Zixuan's eyes, which were originally glowing with a little essence, seemed to flash a trace of guilt, "I thought, if I hadn't drunk all of their water and dragged them down, would that woman still meet a scorpion?" But will you still be stung like that? ”

Chu Nian didn't intend to comfort Wang Zixuan, she didn't feel from beginning to end that Wang Zixuan, who used to be careless about people's lives, has now learned to repent, and his image can be a little taller, but at this moment, she felt that Wang Zixuan's crying image was extremely ugly, so she just watched coldly, until Wang Zixuan seemed to be decadent enough, raised her head and looked at Chu Nian and said, "Do you think that this compassionate me is particularly strange now?" ”

Hearing this, Chu Nian didn't say anything, a pair of cold eyes were shining, and the deep meaning was self-evident.

Wang Zixuan sighed silently, "I just finally met an acquaintance, so I just want to sigh, strangers have given me too much kindness these days, but I have pinned my hopes on the Wang family......"

Suddenly, there was a vibration in the cave, and even the candle flame in Chu Nian's hand was stirred, Wang Zixuan's face finally rose and fell slightly, he looked up at Chu Nian and said, "Persuade the county lord to leave quickly." ”
