Why?

Most of the questions that need to be asked are questions that are not ready to be answered in the first place.

Even if the blurted out why there was an unexpected response, I'm afraid it's just a lie and perfunctory.

The only way to find the real answer is to find it yourself.

As early as three years ago, she already understood this truth.

But now that the question has been asked, it is natural that it can no longer be taken back.

So what kind of answer will he give?

Just a whim?

Scold.

This ridiculous perfunctory is something that only a fool would believe.

There must be a deeper reason behind all the seemingly random answers, even if even he himself may not be aware of it.

There is never such a thing as an accident without a cause.

Some are just inextricably linked and intertwined.

But perhaps it didn't seem to him to be even perfunctory.

At least the long silence has proven itself.

Yue didn't care about the corners of his mouth, as if he didn't care why the other party couldn't get an answer.

"In that case, then my injury is Mr. Lawr, and I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing to have a doctor by my side."

Yue stood up and walked towards Qi Wen's room, her steps were a little vain, but her voice had a rare smell of laziness.

The voice was not at all as sassy and capable as usual, slightly hoarse and low, like sandpaper polishing Qi's eardrums, but it made his heart skip a beat.

"Mr. Ping has been kind to me."

Yue's foot had already stepped into Qi Wen's open door, and this almost murmuring whisper drifted into her ears with unmistakable accuracy.

Mr. Ping?

Another Mr. Ping.

"In this way, the saying that good people have good rewards is really sometimes fulfilled."

"In the eyes of others, there is no good person surnamed Qi. But for us, there is probably no better person in this world than Mr. Ping. ”

Qi Wen said as he walked into the room.

His face was a little red, and his eyes were a little straight, but he was still conscious. At least his hand to treat Yue's wounds was still as calm and strong as ever.

But he thought that maybe he was drunk.

Otherwise, those words that he would never have said would have blurted out so easily and all fell into this woman's ears.

"I heard that Mr. Ping was able to become Mr. Ping because of her teaching, so does this mean that all of this is due to her?"

"She? You mean... ”

The movements on Qi Wen's hand suddenly paused, and his face showed a moment of confusion, but then he returned to normal.

"What? Is she also a name that can't be mentioned? ”

"Not really, but that was a long time ago."

That's right.

She can barely be regarded as Tianji's master, Tianji is already so old, and she is afraid that she has been dead for many years.

In fact, Yue was originally not interested in Tianji's affairs, but after this incident, she became more and more curious.

What kind of person is she who can teach such a Mr. Ping.

That's right, the object of her curiosity has never been Qi Ping, but the one Qi Ping has always been thinking about.

Because the reason why Qi Ping was able to become Qi Ping was mostly influenced by her.

So what kind of person does it take to teach a Qi Ping in such a quagmire that only advocates force and repays a report.

"If you don't say it, I almost forgot, it really was a long time ago."

In fact, there are not many rumors about her, almost none. But the most glorious time of the Qi family was probably when she was there. ”

"Brilliant? Can it be more brilliant than today's Qi family? ”

Qi Wen was probably really drunk, not only did he talk a lot, but even his expression involuntarily became vivid, and he was no longer the same indifferent smile as usual.

I saw the corners of his mouth twitch, revealing a sneering expression, but a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.

"When I say glory, I don't mean the glory of those who compete for power."

"That's what you said..."

Qi Wen's words stopped again, but this time he seemed to be recalling something, his expression was a little melancholy, with a hint of imperceptible tenderness.

"I don't know what the Qi family was like when she was there. But I still remember when I was younger, I always thought that we were just a big family, and although everyone in the clan knew some martial arts, most people's lives were actually no different from those outside. At that time, almost no one knew what the Qi clan was, but at that time, no one of the clansmen wanted to break away from the Qi clan at the cost of their lives. ”

"Any wine?"

Qi Wen was still talking, but Yue suddenly interrupted him.

Because Qi Wen's tone was very calm at the beginning, but as he spoke, more and more pain gradually dispelled all tenderness.

Maybe all he needs now is a glass of wine, or a drunken peace.

Qi Wen was stunned for a moment, but after a while, he glanced at the cabinet in the corner with his eyes, Yue walked over and took out a bottle of medicinal wine that was the same as before, Qi Wen did not object.

He hadn't been drunk in years.

The people who can accompany him to get drunk are no longer there, and no matter how good the wine is, it will be tasteless.

Then it's better not to drink it.

Today, however, he filled his glass alone.

Although there was no one to accompany him, those feelings that had long since faded seemed to suddenly return.

He was delighted.

Because Mr. Ping can finally get out of this quagmire.

But it's a little sad.

Because since then, there has been one less good person in the Qi family.

Qi Wen raised his head and drank the full wine, and was silent for a moment, and then continued to open his mouth intermittently.

"Do you know how many people died in the Qi clan after Qi Quan took over?"

Yue didn't expect Qi Wen to ask such a question, but she suddenly remembered the night she fought for Yu Niang and died, and Qi Ping and Qi Quan, who arrived later, had an argument, and they seemed to have vaguely mentioned this matter between their words.

It's just that the situation was special at that time, and the conversation between them was vague. Although she had a mind at the time, she had already forgotten it.

But I didn't expect Qi Wen to raise this question again today.

Was it really what she had vaguely guessed back then?

The matter between Yu Niang and Qi Zhen is actually just a lead, and is this the real reason why Qi Ping and Qi Quan broke up?

But how could she know such a confidential thing?

She frowned and thought about it, tentatively uttering a guess.

"A third?"

"Huh."

Qi Wen didn't answer immediately, but poured a full cup of wine to himself, and poured it down as soon as he raised his head.

"It's about the same amount, but I guessed it wrong."

"Is it the other way around?"

"Now the rest of the real Qi clan people are probably not even one-third of what they were at the beginning."

"What?! Not even a third?! The Qi family today... ”

"Most of today's Qi family is just Qi Quan and Tianji who have gone around to choose over the years, and then brought back to raise children who have changed their surnames to Qi."

"So today's Qi clan is almost divided into two factions, Qi Quan and Qi Ping...

"There's nothing wrong with that, but Mr. Ping has never had such ambitions. He personally taught them martial arts, but he personally handed them over to Qi Quan. ”

"So... Whether it is the real Qi clansman or these children later, they can barely be regarded as half of Qi Ping's apprentices, so what they have in mind has always been Qi Ping? ”

"It doesn't matter who they are looking for in their hearts, the important thing is that the Qi clan's family rules have always been unconditional obedience to the head of the family. Therefore, as long as they are in the Qi clan for a day, they must obey Qi Quan's orders, otherwise they will be regarded as rebellion. ”

"But such a loss is too great... Is it because of King Xuan that so many people have died? ”

Qi Wen's face suddenly raised a sharp mockery, it seemed that he was really drunk this time.

"Who knows for what. It is true that many people die outside, but are there fewer who die at the hands of their own people? ”

"What does that mean? Could it be that the Qi clan not only worked for King Xuan, but also killed each other?! ”

"It's just a one-sided massacre, what can be called cannibalism."

As soon as Qi Wen's words fell, he simply picked up the wine jug and poured it directly, as if only this spicy and strong wine could temporarily suppress the surging and boiling pain in his heart.

"All the clansmen who want to break away from the Qi clan without permission will be killed, no matter who they are."

"So... In fact, there are many people in the Qi clan who do not agree with Qi Quan's decision, but they are their own people... ”

"Not bad. This is the most brilliant Qi family in your mouth, a Qi family who doesn't even have the real surname Qi left. ”

This time, it was Yue Yue's turn to be silent. 、

It turns out that this is the truth of the Qi family.

A two-thirds of the people are not surnamed Qi.

She suddenly wanted to laugh.

But the heaviness of the corners of his mouth couldn't be touched in any way.

In the end, all that was left was the smile on the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were full of obscure and strange expressions.

She saw the pain hidden behind Qi Wen's unchanging smile.

It turned out that he didn't want to laugh, but he couldn't laugh anymore.

The unspeakable pain can only be hidden behind this strange smile forever.

You can't laugh or cry.

What else is left but frozen indifference?

"He... What is the purpose of paying such a big price? Could it be that he doesn't care about the survival of the Qi clan at all? ”

"Survival? Isn't the current Qi clan already dead in name only? ”

"But after all, he is also surnamed Qi, does he really not care at all?"

"I don't know. Maybe he cares, but that little bit of care is still not enough compared to his obsession. ”

Qi Wen's voice became lower and lower, his eyes stared at the wine jug, his face was flushed, but he still held the wine jug and refused to let go.

"Obsession? What is his obsession? Do you want to worship the king? ”

"Huh."

Qi Wen glanced at Yue, but his smile was no longer a mocking sneer, but an almost bright one.

Probably he just thought it was funny, though Yue didn't understand what she was saying wrong.

"You really don't know the Qi family, he is the head of the Qi family, and it doesn't mean anything to him to worship the king."
