As Xu Han chose to leave Tiance Mansion, the treacherous Chang'an City was temporarily quiet.

But this calm and calm only lasted for a few days, and greater waves will inevitably be revealed in front of everyone.

And it is no longer the Tiance Mansion that has always acted ruthlessly, but the Long Night Division who blindly shrank before.

Gongsun Ming, who has almost disappeared since the rebellion of the Muwang Mansion, once again appeared in the field of vision of the people in Chang'an City as the imperial envoy of the greedy wolf department of the Long Night Division.

He maintained his usual ruthless style of cutting grass and eradicating the roots, and began to vigorously purge the royal clan members who had participated in the impeachment of Gu Zhao's second family.

So the royal princes and nobles, who were high in the hearts of the people, fell under the sword of Gongsun Ming one after another, and the excuses used were ridiculous, such as spreading rumors and disrespecting etiquette. Of course, these excuses can't hide anyone's eyes, but Gongsun Ming doesn't care, it's not that he can't find a good reason, but he's just too lazy to look for it.

He had no scruples, and obviously he didn't intend to take these royal relatives seriously, because he knew very well what to do next.

Everyone in Chang'an City was in danger, and no one jumped out to say a word for these slaughtered royal clansmen, including Tiance Mansion, of course.

As for the lord of the Tiance Mansion who used to fly in Chang'an City, he has long been forgotten by everyone.

Although he had faded out of everyone's sight, Xu Han would not naively think that he would be able to escape this imminent turmoil.

He knew very well that what was happening in front of him was just the curtain before the opening of the big play.

......

Xu Han sat alone in the box of Osmanthus Zhai.

It was an excellent location, and through the window he could really see the crowds of people coming and going on the streets of Chang'an City.

The people are busy, for the purse that can bulge in their pockets, so that they will not feel embarrassed for a meal or a glass of wine when they wake up tomorrow.

Xu Han looked at them and was a little distracted.

He thought they were a little ridiculous and a little pitiful.

The family background is as solid as Gu Zhao's second family, the wealth that rivals the country, and the power of Jiuqing, but in the end, it is not crushed in the game between the two behemoths.

And at this moment, Xu Han, who was once one of the behemoths in power, also seemed to be in a situation like Gu Zhao's second family.

Between heaven and earth, there seems to be a pair of eyes in the underworld, and he looks at and plays with all beings.

When you think you can transcend everything and seek the life and death of others, you find that you are just a pawn once pressed by a certain power.

From the immortals to the homeless, they are all chess pieces in the game?

Squeak.

When Xu Han was thinking about this, the door of the box was suddenly pushed open, and a middle-aged man with a handsome face suddenly stepped in.

He didn't say much, and walked straight to the low couch opposite Xu Han and sat down.

Then the man poured himself a cup of tea, looked the young man in front of him up and down with interest, and then said, "I didn't expect you to take the initiative to find me." ”

When he said this, both the expression on his face and the tone of his words were extremely relaxed, and it was obvious that the man's mood at the moment should be quite good.

Xu Han naturally couldn't figure out why this man could still be so calm at this time, but he didn't have the heart to figure out the man's thoughts. He then calmly asked, "You knew it from the beginning, didn't you?"

The man's hand holding the teacup paused slightly, and then he nodded slightly, and then drank the tea in the cup.

"Why?" Xu Han asked again, but his eyes looked directly at the man, and something seemed to ignite in the depths of his pupils.

The man's attitude was still leisurely, he put down the teacup in his hand, and said lightly: "Have you forgotten the proverbs in the blank hand of the emperor?

The man said, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his eyes slowly narrowed, clearly smiling.

Xu Han was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly he seemed to think of something, and his face changed.

The emperor killed his father, and it was the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty at that time, an emperor who had the dragon energy of the world.

If he didn't have the Heavenly Sword, how could he do this?

Thinking of this, Xu Han's gaze at the man suddenly became surprised, "You have long known the predecessors of Canghailiu?"

"Hmm. The man seemed to enjoy Xu Han's gaze at this moment, he nodded again, and the smile in the corner of his eyes became a little heavier.

"So these plans have started since then?" Xu Han's face became more and more gloomy.

This is not something to be happy about.

Because if this is the case, from the moment Xu Han was born, these conspiracies and calculations have already fallen on his head.

If the people and things he met were a game from the beginning, what was the meaning of his existence now? If all this is denied, will he be denied even himself?

Xu Hanxin was extremely cold at that time, and he didn't like this feeling.

It's like a lamb that you are kept in captivity, they feed and clothe you, teach you to survive, you see people as parents, brothers, relatives, and they only do this to divide and eat you when you are fat and good.

Perhaps, there will be nothing more desperate in this world.

"Not really. And just as Xu Han was thinking about this, the man opposite shook his head.

Xu Han was stunned for a moment and looked up at the man.

"I want to understand that you are not princes because they told me something, or participated in this scheme, to be precise, I am their pawn like you, but I don't know it. ”

"I know them too well. ”

"They can count anyone for their goals, what they think is noble goals, including themselves. ”

"With such a smart person, how could they send the real prince to Zhu Xian with the Xingtian Sword that could kill this prince? Obviously, you are just an abandoned son in front of them. The man said.

There was no schadenfreude in his tone, nor was there any empathetic sorrow.

There are just calm statements, with almost icy facts.

Whether it was the majestic dragon qi mentioned in the previous recital handed over by Zong Zheng and the news secretly from Ye Hongjian, Xu Han was faintly aware of this, but he didn't want to think about it, and he didn't dare to think about it.

He lowered his head, and fell silent.

The man didn't break the silence at this point, he knew that the boy needed enough time to digest the truth.

He looked down at the window.

Like a teenager, he saw the crowds of people busily shuttling through the streets.

A sneer suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he muttered to himself.

"It is ridiculous to say that I want to do things against the heavens with the law of Shun Tian. ”

"And what about you, are you not like me in saving the people by killing them..."

"They're all mediocre..."

As if the man had lost some interest, he looked at the boy, and it was at last that he broke the long silence between them.

"What's next, what are you going to do next?"

His voice, echoing back and forth through the door, vanished a moment later.

The boy still kept his head down and did not answer.

"Zhu Xian won't wait for you to figure out these things, well, Tiance Mansion won't either... Do you want to sit still?" the man was not anxious, but continued to speak slowly.

Xu Han finally raised his head at that time, his face was cold, his eyes did not contain the slightest emotional fluctuation, he looked straight at the man, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you want to say?"

"Nothing, just trying to help you. ”

"Help me, why should I trust you?" asked Xu Han.

Of course, the man understands that the current Xu Han can no longer easily trust anyone, he turned a blind eye to the fox suspicion in the young man's eyes at the moment, but said lightly: "As you can see, I am a dying person, Zhu Xian will not let it go, the words of a dead person are often the most trustworthy." ”

"Is it like the current of the sea and the master?" Xu Han asked rhetorically.

The look on the man's face froze when he heard this, and he was silent for a few breaths before he spoke again: "At least listen to my method, it will be okay for you, what do you think?"

Xu Han didn't answer the man again this time, he just looked at the man lightly, and this was naturally the best answer.

Seeing this, a smile appeared on the man's face again.

"Actually, there are only three paths in front of you, one of which is to surrender to the Long Night Division, hand over the Heavenly Sword in your hand, and then show them that you are not the prince. It's just that you have a grudge against Zhu Xian's old fox for killing his son, and with his character, even if you can convince him to convince him that you are not a prince, he will not be able to let go of this one-thousandth, or even one-thousandth, difference. ”

"The second thing is to return to your Tiance Mansion again..."The man who said this paused, and his eyes narrowed suddenly when he looked at Xu Han. "Have you ever heard of the Twin Laws?"

Xu Han, who was now in a mess in his heart, didn't like the man's pretended profoundness, he frowned and said, "No." ”

The man turned a blind eye to Xu Han's impatience written on his face, and he continued to smile and said, "Then you haven't heard of this method of devouring the lord?"

"What exactly do you want to say?" Xu Han's brows furrowed even deeper.

The man still went his own way, he slowly took out something from his arms and handed it to Xu Han.

It was an old, yellowed scroll.

Xu Han took it and unfolded it in front of him with doubts, and then the mottled words and some strange patterns came into his eyes.

As he looked closely, his pupils dilated from those of that time, and a look of horror, fear, and even horror continued to appear in his eyes.

And for these men, it seems to have been expected.

The smile on his face suddenly dissipated at that moment, and a grim coldness appeared in his eyes.

He looked at the young man in front of him, as if he was looking at Xu Han now, and as if he was looking at his former self.

"So, your second way has long been blocked by them!"

"The only way you can go is this third..."

"The Way of the Dragon!"
