Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Last Time
The night is deep, the stars are sparse, and the moon is avoided by the clouds.
But when the army stopped, Yuan Xiucheng still recognized the two teenagers standing in front of the army at a glance.
How could he forget them, that winter in Cloud City, he brought them out, that was the turning point of their fate and his fate, he squinted his eyes and stared at the two of them, the big saber and halberd behind him were unsheathed, and the murderous machine was terrifying, just waiting for him to give an order, he would pour out.
Yuan Xiucheng didn't let them make a move at the first time, he felt that this was a very memorable moment, and it was natural that he should say something.
"Xu Han, Liu Sheng. He whispered the names of the two men, his tone was low, and his squinted eyes shone with a light that was incompatible with the night, like a sea of clouds surging and a great wave crashing on the shore.
"Commander Yuan hasn't seen him for many days, and he's lost a lot of weight. But Xu Han obviously didn't have Yuan Xiucheng's sad thoughts, he said coldly, and his words were full of murderous intentions.
This unkind tone did not arouse Yuan Xiucheng's dissatisfaction, he smiled slightly, and continued: "Both of you were Yuan's right-hand men, and we are full of emotion when we see each other today, why don't you and I put down our soldiers and drink a pot together for the time being?"
Xu Han was stunned for a moment, he never thought that Yuan Xiucheng would say such a proposal at this time, and he did not respond to Yuan Xiucheng at the first time for a while.
The smile on the corner of Yuan Xiucheng's mouth was even worse, he squinted his eyes and looked behind Xu Han and Liu Sheng, where the backs of the people who fled in panic were still faintly visible, he was very sure that Xu Han would not be able to refuse his request, so he didn't wait for Xu Han to respond, and handed a look to the Holy Lord behind him. The other party understood, but did not hesitate.
Immediately, two armor soldiers walked out of the army, carried a table, and placed a pot of sake and three wine glasses.
Yuan Xiucheng, who was dressed in a green shirt, stepped forward and whispered to the two, "Please." β
But as he expected, Xu Han, who wanted to buy more time for everyone, finally suppressed the suspicions in his heart, walked to the desk, and sat down cross-legged with Liu Sheng.
Yuan Xiucheng poured wine for the two of them one by one with a respectful attitude, and then raised his glass to face the two: "The old people meet, I respect the two of you with this glass." β
The two of them pressed the cup and didn't move, obviously unable to figure out what kind of medicine was bought in the gourd made by Yuan Xiu.
After that, Yuan Xiucheng filled his wine glass again, and then, he reached out and played with the wine glass and asked, "Brother Xu thinks Tiance Mansion is like it?"
Xu Han was silent when he heard this, and he didn't answer him, but just stared at Yuan Xiucheng with blazing eyes.
Yuan Xiucheng was still not annoyed, his gaze crossed Xu Han and looked behind Xu Han, and said with a meaningful smile: "Brother Xu, let's talk about it, while someone in Yuan still has the heart to chat with you." β
Xu Han's eyes froze, he knew the meaning of Yuan Xiucheng's words, so after groaning slightly, Xu Han finally said: "It's not to deceive the world and steal fame, and it's far from being above board, just like you and me, like the world, mixed with good and evil, that's all." β
Yuan Xiucheng's eyebrows raised, and he seemed to be a little surprised: "I can't imagine that in Brother Xu's heart, Yuan has not yet been regarded as a great traitor. β
Xu Han glanced at the other party deeply, and actually lifted the cup to Yuan Xiucheng, and then drank it all.
"Xu looks at things, never looks at good and evil, only distinguishes between right and wrong. β
Yuan Xiucheng smiled and asked, "Is it right or wrong to look at Yuan with Brother Xu's eyes?"
Xu Han was dumbfounded, not because he didn't want to respond to Yuan Xiucheng's question, but because he didn't know how to respond.
Seeing this, Yuan Xiucheng drank three glasses of sake in a row, his cheeks flushed, and he said again: "My brother, known as the Mobei Sword King, everyone in the world knows that he is famous, even if he mentions it now, the three words Yuan Guilong are enough to make most of the immortals in the world frightened. β
"But he died. β
"Died at the hands of that god Wushuang in the Taiyin Palace, and died there with your uncle. β
"They died for the world, but no one in the world knew about it. You look at Xie Minyu, the head of the Chixiao Gate, who has survived three calamities without dying, and claims to be the first person in the world under the unparalleled gods, but what is he doing? β
"But what about them? A mere holy medicine made them change their hearts and intestines, and changed their national surnames, but they didn't know that the so-called holy medicine was just intestinal poison, which was really ridiculous. β
Speaking of this, the smile on Yuan Xiucheng's face was even worse, he drank three times the sake, his face was flushed, and his eyes were hazy in the squinting eyes.
Xu Han looked at Yuan Xiucheng, who was a little out of shape, and frowned, and he asked in a deep voice, "What do you want to say?"
Yuan Xiucheng poured himself another glass of sake, and said with a smile: "Whether it is Yuan Guilong, Mo Chenzi, or Mu Yushan's vicissitudes, no matter what, Yu seems to be worthy of the word hero." But in the same way, they are also stupid, they have used their lives to tinker with this shattered world, but they have never thought about whether such a world is worth their lives. β
"The catastrophe is coming. β
"I don't know why the people in the sky always want to kill Brother Xu, but there is a bigger world beyond the world, with ten thousand starry skies and flowers. Yuan likes Brother Xu, I think we can join forces, get something from this world, and then jump out of this world, and be at ease from now on, isn't it beautiful?"
The so-called catastrophe is coming, the so-called starry sky and ten thousand domains are all things that Xu Han got from some vague clues, he never thought that Yuan Xiucheng would be clear about this, he was a little surprised, but he pressed it in the bottom of his heart, and did not show it, he said in a deep voice: "Xu has always thought that Lord Yuan abandoned Tiance Mansion and joined Senluo Hall because the other party opened enough chips, but now it seems that Xu Mou underestimated Brother Yuan." β
"Brother Yuan's heart is filled with thousands of miles of sea and river, and the river of Senluo Hall seems to be unable to accommodate Brother Yuan. β
Yuan Xiucheng smiled suddenly, raised his glass to Xu Han again, and then drank it all alone, after doing this, he raised his head again and looked behind Xu Han, where the crowd had long since disappeared.
"They are safe, Brother Xu can go and look for them. β
Xu Han's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he couldn't help but be a little puzzled: "What, don't you kill me?"
"What are you kidding Brother Xu, Fang Cai Yuan also said that he wanted to join forces with Brother Xu, how could he kill Brother Xu?" Yuan Xiucheng said with a smile.
Xu Han naturally didn't believe what he said, and he asked rhetorically: "Then Lord Yuan led this army and thousands of horses here just to drink with Xu?"
Yuan Xiucheng stood up, shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and said, "That's the case, whether Brother Xu believes it or not." Saying this, he paused suddenly, and his tone was a little gloomy: "Just go south with this, Brother Xu will also meet many things that you don't want to believe, but they are destined to happen." β
I don't know if it was his own delusion, Xu Han felt that Yuan Xiucheng seemed to mean something when he said this, as if he had seen through something, which made Xu Han's heart inevitably rise a little uneasy.
He and Liu Sheng also stood up immediately, although he couldn't understand what made Yuan Xiucheng suddenly change his temper, but since the other party let him go, he had no need to stay, and at that time he and Liu Sheng arched towards Yuan Xiucheng, and he was about to turn around and leave.
And at the moment when he took that step, Yuan Xiucheng's voice sounded again, and he said: "Brother Xu is going to be difficult, but don't forget that if you need to, Yuan will always be Brother Xu's friend." β
When Xu Han heard this, his body was stunned, but he didn't turn around, and after nodding slightly, he and Liu Sheng disappeared into the night.
......
Yuan Xiucheng squinted his eyes at the two backs that disappeared into the night, and the smile on his face disappeared in an instant.
Of course he wanted to kill Xu Han, which intensified after Xu Han disrupted his layout in Glaive City, not to mention that this was clearly mentioned in the transaction between Sen Luo Hall and that Divine Peerless, killing Xu Han was the best bargaining chip for Yu Yuan Xiucheng to consolidate his current position.
But Xu Han's growth has reached a point where it is enough to make people's hearts tremble, and it is not easy to kill him, Yuan Xiucheng weighed the chips in his hand, a holy candidate, seven holy sons, when facing Xu Han, whose strength is terrifying, and there is a demon king who surrenders, he does not have much chance of winning.
However, these are not the reasons why Yuan Xiucheng really let go of his murderous intentions, he is good at calculation, if he wants, he can even mobilize the army of Jingzhou to rush forward, and consume Xu Han alive and dead, which is still a good deal for him.
But he didn't, and the reason is simple.
On the night when he waited for Xu Han's position to lead the army out, someone found him, and he gave him something, something that should not appear in this world, and it was this thing that made him change his mind.
"My lord, will you just let them go?" At this time, the Holy Lord came up, looked at Yuan Xiucheng puzzled, and asked. "It is very likely that he went south this time to be a lobbyist for the Great Xia Emperor, if Xia and Zhou unite, wouldn't my Great Chu be in danger?"
Yuan Xiucheng finally came back to his senses when he heard this, he glanced at the anxious Shenghou, his eyes swept over his anxious face of loyalty to the country, and the corners of Yuan Xiucheng's mouth couldn't help but show a smile of pity at that time.
Holy Wait?
His Majesty the Emperor?
What's the point? It's just ants crawling in the dark, thinking they are calculating, and in the end they are all dolls in the hands of those who are high above.
Thinking of this, Yuan Xiucheng shook his head, a wry smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and it was only then that he realized how naΓ―ve his thoughts were.
But he didn't have the heart to correct the thoughts of this holy lord, he nodded very cooperatively and said, "Well, what the lord said is very reasonable, it seems that Yuan has miscalculated." β
When the Holy Lord heard this, his immature face showed a touch of tridity, and he said again: "Then now we will lead the army to pursue? With that, the face of the Holy Candidate was full of excitement about the imminent accomplishment.
"That's not necessary, since they want to go south, they must pass through Jingxiu Pass in Jingzhou, why don't you wait there for work. Yuan Xiucheng said with a smile.
The saint was stunned when he heard this, and said with some hesitation: "But..."
Although he is not smart, he is not stupid, since he wants to hunt down and kill Xu Han, he can just kill him, so far from the other, but he can't figure it out.
Yuan Xiucheng seemed to see through his doubts, and he said, "You come here with your ears." β
The Holy Hou did not suspect that he hurriedly came over, only to hear Yuan Xiucheng whisper a few words in his ear, and the Holy Hou suddenly showed a look of surprise on his face. Then he hurriedly bowed to Yuan Xiucheng and said, "Thank you, Lord for your guidance." β
Yuan Xiucheng only nodded lightly, and said: "This matter is a big matter, if Lord Shenghou does it, after His Majesty rules the world, he will definitely remember the work of helping the dragon." β
When these words came out, the holy Hou trembled, his face flushed, and he said: "Lord Yuan, rest assured, you can do your part for Your Majesty, and you will still be honored even if you die." β
"Hmm. My lord's words, I will tell Your Majesty that Xu Han's thief is on the way at the moment, so let your Excellency set off quickly. When you return, I will hold a banquet to wash the dust for the adults. Yuan Xiucheng said again, and there was already a hint of impatience in that tone.
However, the Holy Wait, who was carried away by the great merit he was about to obtain, naturally couldn't feel this, he nodded very gratefully, and made several great salutes to Yuan Xiucheng, and then got up and led the 100,000 army to stagger the path of Xu Han and the others leaving, and rushed to Jingxiu Pass in another direction.
The army of 100,000 was mighty, and this time it left, the end was full of yellow sand, and the earth trembled and the mountains trembled.
Yuan Xiucheng, who was standing in place, looked at the army that was gradually moving away, his eyes narrowed again, and he muttered: "It is said that the 100,000 army will kill Yama, hehe, you can't kill Xu Han, you can go to the underworld to try to see if you can kill that Yama, and open the way for your Emperor Majesty in Huangquan." β
After saying this, the robe on Yuan Xiucheng's body suddenly began to surge, and black gas poured out from under his robe.
Those black qi continued to entangle and entrench, and finally turned into a black figure, he stood side by side with Yuan Xiucheng, and after squinting his eyes at the direction of the army's departure, he suddenly said, "How does this feel?"
Yuan Xiucheng shook his head and responded in a deep voice: "It's not good. β
"Although they are a little stupid, how much better can we be than them in the eyes of those people?" Yuan Xiucheng said, turning his head to look at the black shadow beside him, and said, "Therefore, it is inevitable that some rabbits and foxes will die sadly. β
However, after saying this, Yuan Xiucheng put away his thoughts on continuing on this topic, and he asked again, "How did you get that thing?"
The black shadow smiled and said, "Those guys in the sky are too afraid of Wei Changming, this world has the rules since it was established, and the number of the Heavenly Tribulation is nine, but in order to kill Wei Changming, they broke the rules and used the tenth Heavenly Tribulation." β
In the end, Wei Changming was picked up by the watchers, and this already torn world became more and more dilapidated, so that there was an opportunity for that thing to come to this world. The black shadow patiently explained to Yuan Xiucheng.
Yuan Xiucheng's eyebrows raised, and he said: "It seems that you have already reached this point, well, speaking of which, you have been like this for so many years, and everything is one step ahead of me." β
The black shadow didn't show much smugness when he heard this, but sighed: "But I stand a little taller than you, so I can't help but be a little more awake than you every time, that's all." β
"What should we do next?" Yuan Xiucheng asked again, "In terms of time, we seem to be walking a little slower, those guys are about to start again..."
"We've already fallen the pieces that should have fallen, and the game has been laid out, all we have to do now is waitβ" the shadow whispered, a glimmer of light in his squinting eyes. "But lately, I've discovered something interesting that we've been ignoring until now..."
The conversation continued, but the tone was extremely strange, as if it was not a simple cooperation, but more like a friend who had known each other for decades.
"What is it?" asked Yuan Xiucheng.
"Something that, like us, has escaped the eyes of the big men in the sky. The dark shadow said.
"What, you mean you want to get rid of him?" Yuan Xiucheng asked again.
"That's not necessary, after all, he hasn't done anything out of the ordinary, let's take a look. The Shadow spoke, and it was clear that he had spoken a lot more today than before.
Yuan Xiucheng didn't ask any more questions when he heard this, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "That means we can only continue to wait now?"
"Impatient? After all these years, you don't want to wait for this little while?" asked the Shadow.
"That's not it, it's just a play, you watch it over and over again, every plot, every line you know by heart, even if it has ups and downs, you will still feel bored after all. Yuan Xiucheng said helplessly.
The black shadow was noncommittal about this, one of his hands suddenly stretched out, and black qi surged behind him, and those black qi quickly distorted the surrounding space in his tendency, turning into an extremely black passage.
He said: "Let's go, whether you want this play or not, we have to watch it." β
Yuan Xiucheng shrugged his shoulders again, and without saying much, he turned around with the black shadow and walked into the dark passage.
The army was far away, and the place was long deserted, only the voices of the two who had stepped into the darkness were still faintly heard.
"By the way, how many times has it been this time?"
"The nineteenth time, too... For the last time. β
"Yes, it's time to put an end to this endless cycle. β
