Kui Jie's body swept lightly on the roof, and the silver glow of the bright moon in the night sky sprinkled on the entire Kui Mansion, and the sound of killing came far away, but it seemed to always echo in this courtyard.

He leaned over his body, looked at Gu Shiyan expressionlessly, and said: "Life in Swallow Town has made me a little too lax, I was originally full of enthusiasm when I was young, and I kept moving forward for my dreams, but this world is full of too much dirt, and only strong strength and power can stand on the commanding heights." ”

"When I got out of the predicament and stood at a certain height, I didn't know when I also began to look down on those small people, so I disdained them, maybe I had done a lot of things wrong, but many times I was forced to be helpless. ”

"But today's disaster is entirely my own fault, I have never regretted it, because I know that even regret will not change anything, Nir will not come back from the dead, my body has been half cut into the loess, since it has reached this point, I can only continue to walk. ”

Gu Shiyan lowered her head and thought about something, and when she looked up, she suddenly said: "I didn't come here to kill people, killing people is just a process, Taijing is a royal historian, living in a temple, and rarely leaves the capital, I want to know when he was associated with Yanzi Town, and what secrets your Kui family is hiding." As long as you tell the truth, I will let you live, and let your entire Kui family live. ”

Kui Jie said: "I admit that some officials of the court have a common secret with my Kui family, and even what my Kui family has is more important, I don't know why you want to investigate this matter, but I think it should be very important to you, and if you want to get that secret, don't stop me from killing that young man." ”

The Kui family did have a list, but in fact, Kui Jie, including Kui Xiang, didn't know what this list meant, only that this list contained the names of Tai Jing and many court officials, and even some cultivators.

And because of this list, those court officials led by Taijing had contacts with the Kui family.

The Kui family got this list because of the appearance of a certain person.

There are very complicated things mixed in this, the Kui family and court officials such as Taijing do not have a relationship of interest, but a relationship between threatening and being threatened.

But the Kui family didn't have enough strength to threaten those court officials, and at first they were worried that they would be retaliated against by these people, but it was also because of that person that they had been safe for many years, but the Kui family was also restricted because of this, hindering development, and gradually the ambitions of the Kui family began to emerge, and some officials also secretly helped the Kui family do a lot of things.

But there were some problems with the Taijing, and they didn't want to be involved with the Kui family anymore, and the Kui family didn't dare to make a big deal about it, and when they were worried about how to deal with the Taijing, the news of the assassination of the Taijing suddenly came.

When he first heard about this, Kui Jie was very surprised, and he also warned that the people on that list really hid a big secret, but it was just that Tai Jing died alone, and there was no way to determine anything, and over time, Kui Jie stopped paying attention to it.

And today, someone suddenly came to Kui's house to check on Taijing, and Kui Jie immediately remembered his suspicions.

But no matter what Gu Shiyan's purpose is, Kui Ni's death is a problem that Kui Jie can't ignore, and he must kill Li Mengzhou.

......

A dull voice sounded in the courtyard, the sound obviously couldn't cover the shouting and killing, Li Mengzhou looked at Kui Xiang who was kneeling in front of him, his eyes closed slightly, and said: "Life in the world is very fragile, and death is something that happens every day, are you really ready to let the entire Kui family be buried together?"

"Although Kui Ni died under my sword, the reason why I am here is purely because of the name of Tan Tai Jing, in other words, the secret hidden by your Kui family is the reason why you are facing this situation now. ”

"Of course, I'm not trying to defend anything, but I like Swallow Town a little bit and don't want to kill more, so I hope you can cooperate. ”

Li Mengzhou squatted down and said softly: "You are not a mountain gate monk, nor is you a mountain monk, your cultivation path is very poor, even if my realm is lower than you, and I am injured, you have no possibility of killing me." Since you can't avenge Kui Ni, why should you kill yourself, regardless of the huge family business, and bury the entire Kui family because of Taijing. ”

Kui Xiang knelt on the cold stone floor, looking down at the corpse of Kui Ni beside him, hatred flashed in his eyes, he was afraid of death after all, although he wanted to avenge his son, but he also did not want to accompany his son to die, this is a very tangled thing.

He made the decision to fight to the death because of extreme anger, but when this determination was broken, he felt even greater fear, and even gradually swallowed up the anger and resentment born of his son's death.

Kui Xiang's eyes were on the dark blue sword in Li Mengzhou's hand, and he suddenly felt that this sword seemed to be very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

He temporarily suppressed the hatred in his heart, and said with some uncertainty: "Why is this sword in your hand?"

Li Mengzhou glanced at the sword in his hand and said puzzledly, "Do you recognize this sword?"

This jet-blue sword didn't have a name, at least Li Mengzhou didn't name it, but it seemed to have a name before.

According to the owner of the blacksmith shop, it was a sword belonging to an assassin, and he couldn't bear to let it fall with him because he had to complete an impossible assassination mission, so he left the sword in the blacksmith shop.

Li Mengzhou never thought to find out the story about this sword, but he didn't expect Kui Xiang to recognize this sword.

Kui Xiang glanced at Li Mengzhou deeply, and said in a deep voice: "Because the owner of this sword is a person from Swallow Town, he is a very mysterious and lonely assassin, and his reputation in Swallow Town is not obvious, but he assassinated me a few years ago. ”

Li Mengzhou thought that the owner of the Wuqing Sword should also be a cultivator, if the mission that he knew he would die was to assassinate Kui Xiang, and thought that this assassin's cultivation should be below the three realms, even if it wasn't, Kui Xiang had Kui Jie by his side, but if the assassin's cultivation could not cross the four realms, it would be a certain death, but it could be matched.

"That assassin left this sword in the capital before carrying out the mission, and did not bring it with him, but you can still recognize this sword, which means that you should have known the assassin a long time ago, Yanzi Town said that it is not big, and it is not small or small, could it be that the assassin and your Kui family still have a relationship that outsiders do not know?"

Kui Xiang said: "He and I were childhood playmates, his family was miserable, his parents died, and he lived with his uncle, but his bitter aunt was not good to him and even beat him. ”

"I grew up dressed and fed, and on the contrary, it was hard to believe that the two of us could become friends who talked about everything, but I didn't know what kind of life he lived, until one day he appeared to me covered in blood and told me that he had killed his aunt. ”

Kui Xiang seemed to be caught in his memory, and said softly: "I was scared at the time, because his bloody appearance was really terrifying, and he left Swallow Town shortly after that incident and did not come back for many years. ”

But years ago, he reappeared, with this dark sword in his hand, and he became an assassin and killed many people. I regret that I didn't help him at the time, although it seems that we get along no different from when we were children, but in fact, it has been different for a long time. "And I didn't expect that he returned to Swallow Town because a mission was coming to kill me. I later learned that he didn't know that the mission target was me at first, but a few days later in the night, he showed up to me. ”

"The people who really want to kill me are those officials in the court, I don't know if there are any Taijing in it, but there should be. Because when he left Swallow Town, he met someone from the court so that he could survive, but he was also trained by that person to become an assassin, and he was sent to carry out this mission. ”

"The target of the mission is his childhood playmate, and it is the person who has the grace of knowing him that the task is being issued, and it is difficult for him to make a choice. I learned this truth only when my sword plunged into his body, and I regretted it again because of him. ”

"Maybe it was at that time that I had the idea of resisting, secretly cultivating the power belonging to the Kui family, that is, to get rid of control, and even to enter the capital and kill everyone on that list. ”

Li Mengzhou listened silently and said with emotion: "Thinking about it, he has a deep affection for you, but it's a pity that he couldn't get rid of his miserable life, and you want to make up for it because you have done wrong things again and again, which is also a very touching story." ”

Kui Xiang's expression became very calm, he looked at Li Mengzhou, and said: "His sword appeared in your hand, maybe it is also the time when the cause and effect come, you killed Nier with his sword, which is equivalent to him successfully killing me back then and completing that task." I'm in a mess right now, and I don't know whether to continue to hate you for killing my son, or to thank you for letting me see this sword again. ”

Li Mengzhou was silent for a moment and asked, "What is the list you said?"

Kui Xiang sat on the ground dejectedly and said, "More than ten years ago, a person appeared in Swallow Town, and he gave me this list, and the people on the list include Tai Jing and many officials in the court and even some cultivators, and there is a certain connection between them. ”

"That person seems to want to use this list to bring down another high-ranking person in the court, but this list can't be on him, maybe because I'm unlucky, this list is hidden in my Kui family, and when that person needs it, he will come to pick it up, but I didn't expect that after so many years, that person never appeared again. ”

"And a lot of things happened during this period, those people in Taijing knew that this list was in my hands, I was a businessman, although I was afraid of that person's identity, but I could also understand how important this list was, and I was very greedy to use this list to threaten those people in Taijing, and finally reaped the consequences. ”

Li Mengzhou said: "Everything happened because of this list, I think you regret it now, rather than continue to hold this hot potato in your hands, it is better to throw it out." ”

Kui Xiang was silent.

......

There was a figure on the roof, the sword qi roared, and the courtyard was also full of corpses, and the shouting of killing gradually became much quieter.

Gu Shiyan looked at the embarrassed figure from afar, and said softly: "I said that I wanted to kill you, so you have no room for bargaining, and since you don't cooperate, I won't ask you." ”

Kui Jie almost fell off the roof, he looked down, looking at the Kui Jiaye Shu who had suffered heavy casualties, Kui Xiang who was paralyzed next to Kui Ni's corpse, and the young man standing in front of Kui Xiang with a sword, his eyes were furious.

There is a sharp sword blade coming.

Kuisuke's resentful expression froze on his face, gradually becoming numb, his eyes became hollow, blood soaked through his clothes, flowed to the tiles, and along the recess, like a red stream trickling down from the eaves, his body rolled, and he fell from the roof, and he was already exhausted.
