Qi Liancheng just said that this matter has nothing to do with Yan and Chu. Then who else wants Prince Ning to die? A candidate flashed in Wei Nong's mind, but he was still not sure, so he could only ask conservatively: "Is it Prince Ning's siblings?" ”

"It's the third son of King Ning, Marquis of Wei Yuanshu," Qi Liancheng said directly, "but he was just a prince at the time, and he didn't have a title." ”

Sure enough, it was him. Wei Nong's heart sank, and he suddenly understood Qi Liancheng's intention to talk to him.

"You should know that Momen is a sensitive sect, although it is famous in the rivers and lakes, it has a terrible bad reputation, and it is also feared by the king in the royal family." Qi Liancheng coughed violently a few times, took out a pill out of nowhere and filled it in his mouth, and continued: "So after Momen was handed over to me, I have been worried about Momen's future. ”

"Did Marquis Wei promise that once Momen killed Yuan Zhen for him, he would be able to sit on the throne of Prince Ning, and then he would improve Momen's status and let you gain a foothold in the territory of Ningguo without worry?" Wei Nong could almost think of the conditions proposed by Wei Hou.

"Yes, I guessed that eight or nine is not far from ten." Qi Liancheng nodded and admitted: "So the reward is small, and this promise is the key to making up my mind at that time." ”

"But then you failed in your assassination, I was afraid that Marquis Wei would be angry and embarrassed and unfavorable to Momen, and I was afraid that Prince Ning would find out about you, and it happened that Qi Zhan's mother was pregnant, so you wanted to leave the bloodline of this Ning royal family, as a bargaining chip to keep Momen as a last resort?" Slightly thick to the point.

Her voice fell, no one answered in the house, and after a long time, Qi Liancheng sighed: "I can't imagine that I have endured more than 30 years of hardship, and you are the first to see through." ”

Wei Nong asked himself that he must not have been able to see through it in the past, but the higher he stood later, the more he could see through. She suddenly felt her heart surge, and she couldn't help but ask, "When did you tell King Ning about Qi Zhan's existence?" ”

"Ten years later, after Prince Ning's last heir died of illness." Qi Liancheng sighed with emotion: "It's faster than I imagined." ”

"Then have you confessed to Wei Hou? What was Ning Wang's reaction? "Wei Nong wanted to know.

"It's all his sons, how else can he react? Just pretend you don't know. Qi Liancheng also spoke in a gloomy tone.

Sure enough, King Ning protected Wei Hou ten years ago, and Yuan Che also protected Yuan Che ten years later. The drama of the Ning royal family's fratricide has been staged again and again, all because of his disguised connivance! Wei Nong could roughly guess the conditions given by King Ning to Momen: "You used Qi Zhan's existence in exchange for the stability and even prosperity of Momen in the next few decades?" ”

"Yes, a killer organization like ours, without the support of a country's king, how long can it last?" Qi Liancheng shook his head: "So it's not that I'm ambitious at all, and I've never thought about how much power I want to have, I just want to keep Momen." The heartwarming pregnancy was an accident, I went with the flow, is this also wrong? ”

Wei Nong can't judge.

"Rightly or wrongly, it's true that you sacrificed your sister." She said from the bottom of her heart: "I can only say that I do not approve of such a method. ”

Hearing this, Qi Liancheng suddenly became angry: "From its establishment to the present, Momen has been exchanged for the sacrifices of countless people!" Do you think only the warmth of the heart has been sacrificed? I have it too! In order to beg her to keep this child, I promised her that she would never marry a wife or have children, and raise Zhan'er as my own child! I did! I spent all my heart and soul cultivating Zhan'er! Make him the top killer and let him adapt to the bloodless court! ”

Qi Liancheng collapsed on the seat as if he had lost his strength, coughing violently, and his coughing sound kept echoing in the quiet room, as if he also had a sense of grief and indignation, and there was nowhere to express it.

"Until Nuan Xin died, she didn't forgive me, because she hated me, she didn't even look at Zhan'er." Qi Liancheng spread his hands and laughed self-deprecatingly: "But now it's useless to say anything, Zhan'er is dead, and all my hard work is in vain!" You also see me like this now, terminally ill, and I don't even have anyone to send to my end. ”

Before meeting Qi Liancheng, Wei Nong had always thought that the master of Momen must be an unscrupulous and ambitious person, but today he realized that what he did back then also had a last resort, and he paid a huge price.

"Do you regret it now?" Wei Min asked softly.

Qi Liancheng shook his head and denied: "No, from the moment I sit in the position of the lord, this is my mission." ”

"Mission ......" she muttered these two words slightly, and at this point, she finally fully understood Qi Liancheng's intention to see her.

"Once one is in this position, one cannot think only of oneself. I am willing to give up my children and grandchildren for the sake of Momen, and Yunchen is also willing to give up the restoration of the country, our ideals are the same way. Qi Liancheng fell heavily on the last sentence.

He knew that Wei Nong had fully understood.

Ideals, Missions, Sacrifices...... These words kept swirling in Weichun's mind, causing her eyes to be hot, and she wanted to cry, but she wanted to laugh: "You have said so much about supporting your body, it turns out that you are also persuading me to be the queen of the new dynasty." ”

"If you don't get married, the deaths of Zhan'er and Nie Xingji will become a joke." Qi Liancheng's face was hidden in darkness, and finally persuaded: "Born in troubled times, personal honor and disgrace are not worth mentioning at all. Compared to Yunchen, compared to Momen, what is it for you to sacrifice a marriage? ”

yes, what has she done compared to them? Her sacrifice was too small. The more Wei Nong thought about it, the more his heart turned upside down, and he was extremely tormented, so he could only hold back his tears and ask again: "You persuaded me to be the queen, do you want me to keep Momen?" ”

"Yes." Qi Liancheng returned calmly, but there were no regrets: "With my current physical condition, I no longer have the energy to cultivate the second Zhan'er." For the future of Momen, and for the sake of Yingluo's mother and son, I hope you will be the queen of the new dynasty...... Count me in begging you. ”

is as proud as Qi Liancheng, and it turns out that he will also say the word "ask". Wei Min was silent.

Qi Liancheng saw that she seemed to be shaken, and said: "I already plan to pass on the position of the master of the door to Nian'er, and before he becomes an adult, the Momen will be temporarily managed by Yingluo. You also know that their orphans and widows may not be able to support the whole façade. You and Momen have a deep bond, and only if you are the queen can you protect them. ”

"You think too highly of me." Wei Nong didn't know if he was mocking him or himself.

However, Qi Liancheng was not discouraged: "Actually, your father has a lot of feelings for Momen, if he wants to destroy Momen, he only needs to tell Yan Gaozong Nie Yang about Zhan'er's life experience, and all my plans will be ruined." But he didn't do that, that's all, and I'm grateful for it all my life. ”

"Of course, I have been at odds with your father for many years, and if you want to avenge him, you can take my life at any time." Qi Liancheng gasped with difficulty, and there was already a trace of sincerity on his face: "But please think about Nian'er and Yingluo, and think about your father's feelings for Momen...... I beg you to grant this only request to be the queen of the new dynasty. ”

Faced with Qi Liancheng's persuasion to fight for his life and let go of his pride, Wei Nong found that he couldn't say a single word "no". Her throat seemed to choke, and she struggled between her lips and tongue, evenly matched, and indistinguishable.

"I need time to think about it." Eventually, she spat out the words.

didn't hear the imaginary response, Qi Liancheng couldn't hide his disappointment, but he didn't have the energy to persuade any more, so he could only wave his hand at her: "Okay, I hope I can wait for your answer." ”

*****

But Qi Liancheng didn't wait after all, and on the fourth day and night after talking with Wei Minmi, he had an attack of an old illness and vomited blood and died. Before he died, he insisted on seeing Wei Nong again, but when Wei Nong arrived, he had already gone, his lips and clothes were full of blood spit out, only his eyes were wide open in the direction of the door, as if he had lost some wish, and he had not blinked.

Wei Nong walked slowly to him, stared at him for a moment, and said, "The master of the door has tuberculosis, but this is not the cause of death. ”

Yingluo wiped the corners of her eyes and told the truth: "Aunt Warmheart's epilepsy is good and bad, one night more than ten years ago, she suddenly broke into the door owner's house with a sword, and pierced the door owner's lungs with a sword. Since then, the master of the door has relied on the secret medicine of the ink door to barely survive. ”

Tuberculosis plus lung puncture can stabilize Momen for more than ten years, and the hard work can be imagined. Wei Nong didn't speak again, and slowly raised her hand to close his eyes.

A generation of heroes, Qi Liancheng, the twenty-first master of Momen, who had a ruthless reputation abroad, passed away. The grievances and grievances he accumulated during his life were also buried in the ground with his death and slowly dissipated.

According to his last wishes, his death was not made public to the rivers and lakes for the time being, and only funerals were held within the Momen area, and everyone was known. It was his two proud disciples who presided over the funeral for him, and Yingluo would also support Nian'er to sit in the position of the head of the door after his first seven years. Although, she didn't want to.

On the day of Qiliancheng's burial, Wei Nong was also there, and after the coffin was put into the ground, she and Yingluo and Ji Fengzhi went to clean up Qiliancheng's relics, and took advantage of the situation to care about Yingluo: "Now Nian'er is still young, and you are a woman, can you be in charge of the huge Momen?" ”

"If you can't do it, you have to do it, this is our mother and son's mission. Qi Zhan is dead, and I have to take on his unfinished responsibilities. Yingluo seemed very calm: "At the beginning, he agreed to recognize King Ning, and his original intention was also to protect Momen, although everything changed later, I always remember." ”

The world is always changing, people will change, and what is commendable is that the original intention remains the same.

Wei Nong sincerely admired Yingluo's courage, but also felt extremely worried about her future: "Momen is full of killers, and Nian'er is still young, I'm afraid you will be in danger." ”

"It's okay for now, several senior brothers are willing to help me." Yingluo smiled faintly: "I've thought about it, whoever wants to leave in the future, I will set them free...... I'm going to reshuffle Momen. ”

Reshuffle the Momen? Wei Nong was very puzzled: "How to reorganize?" ”
