In the night, such as a mass of silver silk and white hair entangled in the formation of a dense fog, suddenly slowly walked out of a person, the first appeared is a pair of dark cloud pattern boots, the pace of the person is calm, like a mountain moving forward, with a bizarre, breathtaking-like deterrence, followed by a simple shape of black single clothes, just look at the smooth feeling of the clothes, but also know that its material must be the top of the grade.

This is a special product of the country, in the Wei brocade that is exported to various countries, Pei Shengnandi, it also belongs to the excellent silk of the tribute level, normally speaking, except for the people of the David's royal family, and some of the important ministers of the court who have been rewarded so insignificant because of their outstanding merits or simply favored by the emperor, there are also some bolder families who secretly hide a little bit of the family, there is no other family.

But even judging from the appearance of the other party, this person is obviously not a patriot with a rougher style.

The appearance of the person is extraordinary, not to say that it can cause thousands of empty alleys of "peerless jade", but it is definitely called a "phoenix table dragon posture", although people look young, but their temperament is not frivolous, nor exposed, but like a dragon dormant in the abyss, its fierce and restrained, but more terrifying, just look at it from afar, ordinary people will feel frightened, two trembling, and instantly have to be forced to look away from their eyes.

His figure is very well-proportioned, although the muscles are not visible at all, but it is not weak, but it gives people a very vigorous feeling, and the view of it will naturally produce a sense of fear, especially his left eye is also covered by a black blindfold, which adds a bit of ferocity to this face.

It was none other than Gu Xuan, who came out of Qilian City.

After he finally stepped out of the dense fog that covered his body and unabashedly revealed his true face, after a short two breaths, two subconscious exclamations suddenly sounded in the field, Duanmu Shuofeng and Wei Chidun spoke out almost at the same time, shouting: "It's you!"

Duanmu Shuofeng is different from people like Wei Chi Dun who have no bright brains, he is smarter, his brain turns faster, and his mind is more active, just in an instant, he has already connected with the matter of Hu Yanzhuo's refusal to open the door during the day, and he suddenly shouted in surprise: "Qi Liancheng is also a ghost!"

Although this is just a guess without real evidence, Duanmu Shuofeng can't think of the second possibility in his mind, not to mention, in this extreme situation, even if it is just a little clue, it is almost a certain fact.

Gu Xuan didn't deny this, in fact, there was no need for him to deny anything, so he just nodded lightly, which was considered to be a direct admittion, and then said in a somewhat complicated tone: "It's me, Brother Duanmu, after more than half a year, I didn't expect you and me to meet here again." ”

But no, the first meeting between the two dates back to when Gu Xuan first arrived in Huangsha County, when he was worried about how to investigate the mineral vein, at that time Gu Xuan fell into a disadvantage in terms of momentum, at that time, Duanmu Shuofeng, ordered all the soldiers and horses to go south to find people, what a majestic face, if it wasn't for Duanmu Nanli, who had just been rescued by himself, who had been persuaded by the side, he was afraid that the other party would have to do it directly if he didn't agree.

The second time the two met again, it was in Qilian City, when he was knocked off the cliff, after amnesia, he was said to be saved, and he was exiled to defend the country, but also fortunately Duanmu Nanli recognized himself and helped him, and finally escaped from the country.

The pictures of past memories flashed in his mind one by one, but when he thought of the innocent and lovely, who actually only wanted a sincere feeling, and could even give up everything for it, Gu Xuan's heart couldn't help but feel a pain, but it had happened, and he was powerless to change the established ending, and he couldn't remedy it, but the matter in front of him had to be resolved, so he could only temporarily press the pain in his heart, raise his head, and look ahead.

Duanmu Shuofeng heard him mention the fact that the two of them met before, and only felt that this was a humiliation for himself to fall to this point, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, I couldn't imagine that the weak kid at the beginning would stand in front of him with such a posture today, and at the same time, he also felt very regretful in his heart, and couldn't help but grit his teeth and said: "I knew that today, there are many opportunities along the way, I should seize it and kill you directly!"

But no, if he had known that there was something today, he must have killed him at all costs before, in fact, even Duanmu Shuofeng himself has been counted, how many opportunities can he kill him halfway, but he can't think about it, this war has been going on until now, and he also knows that this is not to kill anyone to change the outcome.

Regarding Duanmu Shuofeng's statement, Gu Xuan shook his head lightly noncommittally, half answering the other party's words, and half sighing from the heart: "On the road of life, in fact, there is never a perfect choice, sometimes I think I can change some things by myself, but in the end I am just smart, that's it, let's go back to the topic first, everyone is here today, and the things between us will be solved one by one." ”

After that, he turned his head, looked at the ground, and asked in a very calm tone, "You are Wu Heng, right?"

After Wu Heng was unceremoniously thrown out by Gu Xuan before, he smashed to the ground, and even his ribs were crushed several at once, with his weak body and bones as a literati, he couldn't get up for half a day, and now his position is relatively closer to Gu Xuan, before the situation is clear, Duanmu Shuofeng and Wei Chidun on the opposite side did not dare to rush forward to rescue.

After hearing Gu Xuan's inquiry, he had already struggled to sit up from the ground, even if the whole process made his face pale with pain, but he didn't lie on the ground without dignity like this, he covered his injured chest with one hand, wiped the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth with the other hand, and said in a deep voice: "It's just that the king is defeated, today I Wu admit it, you want to kill or chop, I don't have the slightest complaint." ”

When Gu Xuan heard this, he bowed his head slightly, obviously quite appreciating this person, and then said: "Okay, but even if you die, I have to teach you to die today." ”

Wu Heng said coldly: "Yes, this eye of yours was harmed by me, I didn't succeed in killing you at that time, and then let you run away from under my nose, I can only say that the time is like this, manpower is difficult, I have nothing to do, but each is its master, I have a clear conscience, if you think there is any problem with this matter, then I can only say that you are too naïve, I want my six junior brothers to be by your side to assist, with his temperament, it is estimated that there are a lot of things to tell you secretly, and you should also know my identity and origin"

When Gu Xuan heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he interrupted the other party with a sneer, and said: "Heh, I know, isn't it the Illuminati, you claim to be the greatest hero of the continuation of the human race, but in fact, you are just a group of demons who regard the common people as grass mustard and the people as ants, who think they have the courage to manipulate the general trend of the world with vertical and horizontal techniques, and are cold-blooded and ruthless." ”

Wu Heng, who had always been quite peaceful, suddenly couldn't help but be furious at this time, pointed at Gu Xuan with one hand, and scolded loudly: "Demon, how dare you say such arrogant and ignorant words! Do you know that the ancient human race is in danger, if it weren't for the ancestor of my Illuminati to guide the ancestors to rule the world and draw a path for our human race, how could our human race occupy an entire continent in this dangerous sea realm and thrive in peace? If it weren't for the painstaking efforts of my members of the Illuminati over the past generations, who have exhausted their whole lives to assist the Ming Lord and unify the divided human race, how many lives will be ruined, how many people will die because of this, and how much do you know about the danger that the human race will face to be wiped out? What a mud leg who can't help the wall, thinking that being the king and hegemonic in such a small place is superior to others? I don't know how much our ancestors sacrificed for our human race, you will always be just a group of toads sitting in a well and watching the sky!"

After listening to his impassioned statement, including the angry rebuke of himself later, Gu Xuan was not angry at all, but nodded very approvingly, and said: "I don't deny the merits you have made for the human race, and I also agree that a unified human race is definitely a hundred times stronger than a divided human race, but things always have to be counted one by one, let me ask you, do you know Han Ruying and Han Wei's grandson?"

What kind of character Wu Heng is, even if Han Ruying is just a very inconspicuous small role in the human tragedies he brewed with his own hands, he still immediately recalled it, and besides, this was originally a chess piece that he deliberately played against Gu Xuan's state of mind.

Wu Heng was not afraid, but continued to say coldly: " The gentleman abandons the flaws to pull out the talent, the strong man breaks the wrist to the full quality, even the gecko knows that the tail is broken in order to protect itself, any race can continue, and it is inevitable that a part of the sacrifice will be made halfway, which is inevitable, and this is also as it should be, for the continuation of the human race, any person can be sacrificed, whether he is a common man, or a true dragon son of heaven, this is the words of my Illuminati master, and this sentence is not a verbal truth that we use to make an explanation to the world, to make an explanation to ourselves, if one day the person who must be sacrificed falls on the head of the person who said this sentence, we also have no regrets, this spirit, do you understandDo you understand?"

Gu Xuan nodded again and said very approvingly: " You are right, in order to be able to continue, the poor family can sacrifice the opportunity for the next generation to go to the school, the son of the family can ruthlessly deprive the descendants of all rights and interests in order to preserve the so-called noble bloodline, the emperor can even give up his feelings in order to achieve great things, a country must also cut off part of the dross, these truths I didn't understand before, but now I understand, and I agree, sometimes some people do have to make some very difficult choices, because life is more important than anything else, and only by living, there are more opportunities, any race, is to reproduce as the first priority, this is not wrong。 ”

"But. Gu Xuan's words suddenly turned, and he said with a murderous aura, "That doesn't mean that you can abandon everything under this guise of the bottom line, I have nothing to say to you, I am here to take revenge, in order to follow my heart, sacrifice you, I don't think there is any problem, if you want to argue about the merit of the human race, this war has been fought so far, so many people have died, is there any benefit to the human race?" I will give you back your reasoning now, I am obviously incompetent but I don't know it, but I have to struggle for my own destiny, and I have killed so many people, this is right? I tell you, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, this is also the first law written by my ancestors of the human race, I just want to avenge this personal vendetta, you hurt me a look, I will take a look at you, you hurt Ruying is still lying in bed, life and death do not know, then I can also be fair, I will break your limbs now, thrown in this mountain wilderness, can you survive, this is also your life, how about it?"

Anyway, he didn't care what the other two people in the field thought, he stepped forward directly, using his hand as a knife, and swiped lightly, Wu Heng couldn't help but snort, his left eye was bloody, and he couldn't help but close it, Gu Xuan was merciless, his wrist flipped, and his limbs were twisted and bent in a few clicks, completely abolished, so painful, even a person like Wu Heng with a strong heart like steel, couldn't help but scream, just because the movement was too miserable, the voice from his throat was hoarse and ugly, like a night crow crying.

After doing all this in an instant, Wu Heng had already fainted in pain, Gu Xuan straightened up, turned his head, looked at the other side, and said slowly: "Now, it's your turn." ”

Wei Chidun saw his eyelids jumping on the other side, and at this moment, he was glanced at by him, as if he was being targeted by a natural enemy, and his legs were a little weaker in fright, but he still insisted on protecting Duanmu Shuofeng in front of him, and said calmly on the surface: "What do you want?"

Gu Xuan didn't intend to deal with him at all, but said sincerely towards Duanmu Shuofeng: "Brother Duanmu, when you let me go once, I can also spare your life today, this world is still very big, and my Liangguo is bigger and more open-minded, enough to accommodate you." ”

Although Gu Xuan knew in his heart that a person like Duanmu Shuofeng would definitely not be willing to surrender to Da Liang, and leaving him alive would be a complete scourge, but because of Duanmu Nanli's matter, Gu Xuan's guilt in his heart was too heavy, so he was willing to leave him a way to live today.

But before Duanmu Shuofeng could reply, Wei Chidun suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty, go quickly! I'll stop this murderer!"

With that, he drew the saber from his waist, roared again, forced himself to make a strong move, and then gritted his teeth and pounced on him.

Looking at Duanmu Shuofeng here, he only hesitated for a moment in place, and then turned around and left without looking back.

He is a tenacious person, but also a person with dreams, he has his own principles and bottom line, it is impossible to surrender to the enemy, he has an imperial heart, it is impossible to talk about the friendship of kings and ministers at this time, because he understands that the best choice now is to run quickly, only if he runs away, can he live up to Wei Chidun's intentions, and then avenge him, in order to live up to his subordinates and live up to himself.

Although Duanmu Shuofeng is also good at fist and foot kung fu, after all, half of his body is the blood of the Wei Chi family, and good martial arts is a natural temperament, and he thinks that he is not weaker than the average martial artist, but the current situation is that the enemy is in the dark, I am in the Ming, since the other party dares to break in alone with such a swagger, in addition to being a strong confidence in their own strength, it also shows that their entire camp has now been completely lost, and they don't know how many enemies are nearby, and it is impossible for him to stay and choose to fight to the death with Wei Chi Dun.

As long as there is a glimmer of life, he must not give up, and this foggy day is his best cover!

Duanmu Shuofeng put down other thoughts, threw off his steps, and began to flee towards the mountain with all his strength, he only hated himself at this time Although he had been in Qilian City for many years, he had not even seriously visited various places on this mountain in his spare time, and his understanding of Qilian Mountain was almost all based on the map.

But the map is really a small difference, and in the middle of the night, the road ahead is not very clear, to rely on a map in the mind, plus a hazy moon overhead, that is, just to be able to identify a general direction, it is difficult to tell what the situation ahead is.

After rushing out of the camp that had been in chaos, he looked left and right, chose a secluded path, and ran all the way up the mountain, changing direction several times halfway, and deliberately leaving some misleading traces, these are the anti-tracking skills that he learned from Hu Yanshi, and he deliberately inquired in order to talk to the other party and get closer to each other, and he didn't think it would be useful one day.

As soon as he thought of Hu Yanshi, he felt even more regret in his heart, because the early war in Yanzhou went too smoothly, he was full of thought that this war would always go on like this, and he could easily win everything, so he couldn't help but start thinking about the aftermath of the war.

It is precisely because he knows that between Hu Yanshi and Wei Chi Dan, because of that incident, there is a gap, in order to avoid any bad consequences in the future, or to put it more simply, in fact, he wants to take this opportunity to raise a hand of Wei Chi Dan and press Hu Yanshi, so he deliberately let him go to the rear to do a small job of escorting grain and grass, which also does take into account the importance of grain and grass in the rear, and send Hu Yanshi to go, they are all relieved, but Hu Yanshi died because of this, I have to say that this has his responsibility, the most important thing is that now that I think about it, if the front line led the army is the more experienced Hu Yanshi, will they not be so miserable？

"Whew!"

A swirling mountain wind blew by, Duanmu Shuofeng couldn't help but stir up, and suddenly sobered up, because it had arrived in the forest where there was not much light, and the coldness suddenly deepened a little, he didn't dare to stay, and hurriedly walked forward, but saw a small piece of road in the woodland in front of him that could be put down, he walked up a few steps later, and was alert, and quickly stopped, it turned out that the front was shrouded in a layer of white mist, which was already a cliff, and unconsciously, he actually walked to a Jedi.

When he reacted, a layer of sweat suddenly appeared on his back, and he was about to retreat immediately, when he suddenly heard a very rhythmic footsteps, it turned out that Gu Xuan had gotten rid of the others and chased after him alone.

The moment Duanmu Shuofeng heard the movement behind him, he turned around directly, he held the long sword in his hand, his eyes changed several times, and after staring at the other party for a few breaths, he couldn't help but ask, "What happened to him?"

When he arrived here, Gu Xuan could see clearly that the other party had no way out, so he was naturally not in a hurry, so he said unhurriedly: "I have to say that as a courtier, he is definitely a very loyal one, but people like you and me, would they keep him for this reason, he is not my courtier after all." ”

Having said this, the meaning is actually very clear, no matter how powerful Wei Chi Xuan is, he cannot be Gu Xuan's opponent, even in the field of brute force that he is best at, he is still at an absolute disadvantage, thinking that at the beginning, he was on the battlefield, and Gu Xuan gave him a shot and broke open the tiger's mouth, not to mention that in this kind of hand-to-hand hand-to-hand combat, judging from Gu Xuan's ability to catch up so quickly, it was obviously useless to deal with Yu Chi Xuan.

When Duanmu Shuofeng heard this, his eyelids drooped, he was silent for a moment, and suddenly smiled bitterly, and then said with emotion: "You have changed, Tang, no, it should be Gu Xuan." ”

Even if I have only seen him three times, I have to say that the changes in Gu Xuan's body are actually very obvious, the whole person, from the inside out, has changed too much, the more people who see him too long, this feeling will only become more obvious.

Gu Xuan's expression darkened slightly, after all, although this change is not bad for the time being, the reason why he changed is definitely not good, if it is possible, he really would rather that nothing has happened, he is willing to continue to be the fifth prince of Yongle Palace more than the current prince who is about to hold power.

"People will always change, and the world will not pity anyone, but as long as the original intention does not change, then we are still us, right, Brother Duanmu, survive, this is also Nan Li's wish. ”

He really hoped that Duanmu Shuofeng could let go of the obsession in his heart, because Nan Li was gone, and this was the last thing he could do for her, but as soon as the words came out, he regretted it a little.

Sure enough, Duanmu Shuofeng's face changed suddenly, and he keenly sensed something wrong from Gu Xuan's words, and hurriedly asked, "Nan Li, what did you do with her?"

Gu Xuan's heart ached, and he was silent for a long time, but in the end he chose to tell everything the truth, although there are few people in this world who really know the truth about this matter, but he is not ready to make up some words to coax Duanmu Shuofeng, although he and Duanmu Shuofeng are enemies in the two countries, but Duanmu Nanli is innocent, and this guilt, he is destined to carry it for a lifetime.

After listening to Duanmu Shuofeng, his whole body was like being struck by lightning, and the last thread in his heart was broken at once, he staggered, almost unable to stand firmly, tears flowed down his face, and after a while, he suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Retribution! Retribution!

After shouting, he turned his head, looked at Gu Xuan, and laughed freely: "I am the Emperor of David, for the emperor, how can I surrender?

Gu Xuan felt bad in his heart, and hurriedly rushed forward.

"Brother Duanmu!"

But he saw Duanmu Shuofeng take a few steps back, and the whole person fell backwards, and instantly fell into the deep stream of thick fog, and his voice pierced through the thick white mist and came up from below.

"Gu Xuan, be kind to the people who defend the country!
