Chapter 25: Loyalty

In the past six months, the people of Da Zhou have tasted the sweetness of the wind and rain.

But there is a way, some people are happy and some are worried.

Things don't always go their way, and that's especially true for the first place now.

He was unhappy.

Since being forced by Mr. Lu and his people to hand over the military power, the situation in the imperial court has turned around, and now the Changye Division is just an empty shell like the former Tiance Mansion. The situation in Da Zhou gradually stabilized, and Zhu Xian knew very well that after the riots on all sides were completely quelled, he would be the first to be shot.

There was too much blood on his hands, whether it was the rebellion of the Muwang Mansion or the decay of the Tiance Mansion, it was directly related to him, and he was destined to die.

The trees fell and scattered, whether it was the forces of the rivers and lakes that depended on him, or the four imperial envoys under his command had disappeared in the past half a year, and even the immortal led the disciples back to Linglong Pavilion and closed the mountain gate.

Zhu Xian was drunk all day long, disheartened, and all he was waiting for was the arrival of that day.

......

On this day, Zhu Xian was drunk as usual, and he sat in the main hall of the mansion, looking at the empty door of the mansion, with a depressed expression on his face.

He smiled miserably, lifted the jar in his hand and gulped down the sake.

He drank too quickly, the wine continued to pour down the corners of his mouth, and instantly wet his clothes, and the thick smell of wine spread in this hall, perhaps because it had not been taken care of for a long time, the hall was filled with a musty smell, mixed with the wine, and the smell in the door made people feel a little disgusting.

It's just that Zhu Xian is still unaware of this, and he drinks happily by himself.

Perhaps only this wine can make him forget his miserable situation for a while.

Zhu Xian drank alone for a long time, from late evening until the dead of night, there were large and small wine bottles scattered around him, and his whole clothes were already soaked with wine.

Click!

Click!

At this time, a voice suddenly broke the long silence of Zhufu for half a year.

It was the crunch of riding boots on the stone slabs.

Zhu Xian raised his head and looked in the direction of the door with drunken eyes.

A cyan figure appeared in front of him.

He narrowed his eyes, trying to see the appearance of the comer, but he had drunk too much, and such a simple thing seemed a little difficult for him at the moment.

It wasn't until the figure came up to him that he saw it for real.

"Ran Qingyi!" he sat up, his eyes lit up with a flame called anger.

There are naturally many reasons for the failure of the usurpation, but the most fundamental reason is that after Si Blank killed the emperor, he had no combat power, and Sword Immortal Yue Fuyao came to the city with 50,000 Heavenly Dou soldiers, so that Zhu Xian's side no longer had the capital to compete with Tiance Mansion.

And if all this had been planned earlier, he could even think of a duel with the Heaven Dou Army, with the Canglong Army rebuilt in his hands, such a thing was not without a chance of victory.

But Ran Qingyi, who was the imperial envoy of the White Phoenix Department, concealed it and did not report it, so that the Heaven Dou Army was killed at the gate of the city, and Zhu Xian was still unaware.

It is no exaggeration to say that the failure of the usurpation of the throne is the culprit of the woman in Tsing Yi in front of her.

But since that happened, Ran Qingyi has disappeared without a trace, Zhu Xian just wants to ask the teacher and has no chance, and now seeing her appear in front of his eyes, how can Zhu Xian not be angry?

"Did the first lord want to kill the little woman?" Ran Qingyi obviously sensed Zhu Xian's murderous intentions, but she didn't panic in the slightest, but smiled faintly and asked.

"Ran Qingyi, you slut, I treat you well, do you dare to trick me?" Zhu Xian's eyes were covered with a layer of blood at that time, he stood up and roared angrily, and he was about to make a move.

Ran Qingyi smiled and said softly: "Lord Zhu killed the little woman, waiting for Lord Zhu is still a dead end, since this is the case, why not calm down and talk to me, maybe there is still a way to live?"

Zhu Xian's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Your femme fatale, I have already learned it, and you still want to deceive me?"

"Lord Zhu can't help but think too highly of yourself, do you think you have anything else worth deceiving me now?" Ran Qingyi asked again, the smile in her eyes suddenly became vicious at that moment.

She looked at Zhu Xian, in a condescending manner, her eyebrows full of contempt and pity.

Zhu Xian's body couldn't help but tremble at that time, and a feeling of fear rose from his lower abdomen like a poisonous snake, wrapping and circling around his body, and he was engulfed by that feeling, which made him feel like he was in the middle of ice and snow, cold to the marrow.

In all his years at the helm of the Long Nights, he has always adhered to an iron law, that anyone who has lost value is waste, and that in his grand plans, anyone can be abandoned and used, even his only son. And now, some things have changed, as Ran Qingyi said, now he is that useless thing.

Ran Qingyi seemed to be very satisfied with Zhu Xian's appearance, her red lips rose slightly, and she continued: "The little girl came this time to help the adult. ”

"What do you mean?" Zhu Xian, who had been defeated by the psychological defense, no longer had the menacing appearance of Fang Cai, so he asked at that time.

"Take back what adults have lost, and even more. ”

"Why should I trust someone who once betrayed me?" Zhu Xian asked, after all, he had been in the court of the Great Zhou for decades, so naturally he would not think that Ran Qingyi's kindness was a reward without asking for anything in return.

"Lord Zhu is a smart person, and Tsing Yi has always liked to deal with smart people. The so-called betrayal, in the final analysis, is only a matter of bargaining chips, and now I believe that the chips I can open are enough to satisfy adults, so I believe that the so-called betrayal will not happen between you and me again. Ran Qingyi said very firmly, as if he had already grasped Zhu Xian's thoughts.

"And what do I get?"

"As I said, everything you have lost, whether it is power or power, we can give it to you, you will become the head of the Long Night Division of the Great Zhou again, and those clowns of the Tiance Mansion will soon be trampled under your feet, and there is only one thing you need to do. Ran Qingyi said slowly, her tone gradually brought a strange rhythm, like the mountain spirit that bewitched the world, and played a breathtaking flute at night.

Zhu Xian's body began to tremble again, but not because of fear, but because of the excitement of having power again, he asked eagerly, "What do I need to do?"

"Loyalty. ”

"Loyalty to me, to the Senluo Temple. ”
