Chapter 165: Persistence
"Because, if I die, who will save those of my degenerate subjects!" Wu Qi stood up straight, looked at Ye Chong who had returned to his place, and repeated his own words loudly, and a firm flame rekindled in his eyes.
"Your subjects, what will you have left if you lose your ridiculously disgusting royal noble blood?" Ye Chong stood on the way up the mountain, the moonlight sword dancing in his hand indicating the unrest in his heart.
Why am I always the one who is a cowardly bystander!
The two returned to their original positions, Wu Qi wanted to go up the mountain, and Ye Chong became the most stubborn mountain guard.
Yang Zongbao motioned to Ma Rulong and Yue Chi to follow him back, this is a battle that belongs to Wu Qi himself, he will not go back to interfere, he is Yang Zongbao of the Yang family of Tianbo Mansion of the Wu Dynasty, not Wu Qi's nanny alone. Stand before him in all things. Even if I longed for that dream scene as much as he did in my heart, believing it did not mean intervening in his life, as if I was on the battlefield. Although comrades-in-arms will rejoice that each other is still alive, they will not disrupt the layout of the entire battlefield because of his death; The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, who lives and who dies, no matter who says it, it doesn't count, life and death are not resentful, even if it was against him a moment ago, but dead is dead. Life and death, there is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed.
This is a duel that belongs to Wu Qi himself, or a fight, Yang Zongbao seems to know that Wu Qi is coming before going up the mountain at this moment, but he still goes up alone regardless of it, letting Ye Chong face Wu Qi by himself. It's one thing to have your own plan, but it's another thing to belong to Ye Chong's own hatred, and it's another thing to be obsessed, although the two stem from the same hatred. Therefore, this is the tacit understanding between Ye Wen, Ye Chong, Wu Qi, and Yang Zongbao, and the persistence between the four people;
In front of Xu Banjiao's grave on the hillside, Ye Wen looked at Cao Hongye's pleading gaze, and slowly made a trick in his heart. He concealed from Cao Hongye that Wu Suwen had entered the Star Luo Pavilion in the City of Emperor Wu of Western Liang, and had already read all the classics of the Sword Sect. Therefore, Cao Hongye's statement that Wu Suwen defected to the Wu Dynasty because of the royal arsenal is not credible. However, through Ye Wen's own recollection, the conversation between Song Ningzheng and Cao Hongye can undoubtedly confirm that there is a bond between Wu Suwen and the woman in red, Cao Hongye.
In the end, Ye Wen neither agreed nor refused. This is like a small and broad, the classics of the three sword sects in the world are no less than immortal treasures in the eyes of others, but in Ye Wen's eyes, they are just a book that is piled up there and used to be remembered, maybe it will be corroded by time in a few decades, but if the bond between Wu Suwen and Cao Hongye is true, then he will win the bet.
Neither agreeing nor refusing, Ye Wen planned to hang like this first, put a long line to catch a big fish, and make a big deal with the small.
Down the hillside.
There seems to be a wordless tacit understanding between Ye Chong and Wu Qi, that simple route up the mountain is the key to the victory and defeat between the two, Wu Qi wants to go up the mountain but doesn't want to hurt people, Ye Chong wants to stop and sacrifices his life.
On the surface, it seems that Ye Chong occupies the favorable conditions, but in fact, the two are equal. Different from the defensive counterattack on the battlefield, in a two-person fight, defense is a disadvantage in itself.
The black and moon-white figures intertwined again and again in this cracked land, the cold moonlight sword in Ye Chong's hand was sparkling, and the unsheathed redemption sword in Wu Qi's hand also roared again and again, in an instant, the flying stones walked around, the loess was all over the sky, the loess dissipated, and when the dust settled, the two returned to their original positions again.
Wu Qi's white clothes were like washing, with a little yellow-brown dust in his hair, while Ye Chong was standing on the road on the hillside, his clothes were as black as ink, and the moonlight sword was slightly dim. This battle between the two turned out to be evenly divided. Wu Qi's redemption sword was never unsheathed, and Ye Chong's moonlight sword never flickered in the moonlight again.
Ye Chong looked at Wu Qi, whose breathing had returned to calm in an instant, and his eyes were surging with murderous intent, but after the sound of footsteps came from behind him, he turned calm. The moonlight sword in his hand dissipated and turned into a white jade belt again, attached to Ye Chong's waist. Ye Chong turned around and left his back to Wu Qi without any vigilance, because in his heart, life was not enough.
Seeing this, Wu Qi also suppressed the qi that was gradually boiling in his body. He and Ye Chong both knew that this was a battle with no victory or defeat and no result. It was naturally best for Ye Chong to stop by himself, and immediately after, a burst of surprise flashed in Wu Qi's eyes.
"Momiji girl?"
Behind Ye Chong, Ye Wen and Cao Hongye, who was dressed in red, went down the mountain together. Although Cao Hongye failed to get consent from Ye Wenkou as she wished, she would not give up. In fact, she didn't want to succeed at the first time, after all, what she could provide, except for Xue Luo, was mostly rootless duckweed, with no heels, Ye Wen disagreed, which was in her expectation, but Ye Wen was able not to object, she was already very satisfied. She believes in one word, perseverance, and eventually success.
At Ye Wen's invitation, Cao Hongye and Ye Wen left Xu Banjiao's tomb together, and this martial arts strategist, who had been alone all his life, once again restored his tranquility.
After descending the mountain, like Wu Qi, Cao Hongye was also surprised the moment he saw Wu Qi. She didn't expect to be able to see this only person she didn't hate in Longdu here, the only person she didn't get bored with in that group of pretentious noble bloodlines.
However, how can this person, this person's bloodline, and this person's surname live in peace with Ye Wen beside her, she can't figure it out.
A thousand kinds of people, a thousand kinds of minds. Compared to the surprise on Wu Qi and Cao Hongye's faces. Ye Wen's flat eyes flashed a slight fluctuation, the corners of his mouth were slightly invisibly provoked, and things seemed to be developing in the direction he foresaw.
Ye Wen's face was silent, his right hand pressed on Ye Chong's shoulder, and the two of them got out of the way of the way up the mountain. The eyes of Wu Qi, Yang Zongbao, Ma Rulong, and Yue Chi looked at Ye Wen one by one, and then silently went up the mountain.
Cao Hongye slightly signaled to Ye Wen and Wu Qi before leaving this desolate burial place. What she and Ye Wen said on the hillside, what agreement there was, apart from the two of them, it is estimated that only Xu Banjiao, who was lying underground, would know.
Under this desolate hillside, the crowd gradually dissipated, leaving only the two brothers, Ye Chong and Ye Wen. Ye Chong didn't go to see Xu Banqiao again after Ye Wen left this time, he didn't dare.
At some point, crystal clear snowflakes began to float in the sky again, first fluttering without any storm, and then it was as if the whole sky was pressed down, and the black pressure was overwhelming.
"Brother Chong, you go back first, where is Longdu, it's coming, leave it to me here." Ye Wen stretched out his hand to catch a large handful of falling snow, and said to Ye Chong, the long mist spit out of his mouth instantly dissipated in the air, like time and life.
Ye Chong opened his mouth slightly, but in the end, he nodded slightly, his face was indifferent, and he turned around and left, taking his unspoken words with him.
This time, it's up to you, isn't it?
The rivers and lakes of Kyushu, in this autumn and winter, are constantly turbulent, and the list of grandmasters has changed again and again, from the beginning, various businessmen and wealthy families have risen one after another, using their own big family property to win a list of grandmasters for themselves, and the grandmaster list is regarded as the biggest advertising place, for their own industry, for their own family.
But then, those who paid these attention in their hearts, but failed to seize the opportunity, quickly changed from regret to rejoicing, and then to smugness. The people on the list of grandmasters, except for the top three, all embarked on the Huangquan Road of fame and fortune.
"Alas, it's really cheap, those old foxes who caught up with the opportunity..."
"Phew, fortunately, I couldn't catch up at the beginning, with the great bustling world, I haven't enjoyed it enough..."
"Ha, if I hadn't been wise and decisive in judging the consequences of this time, I'm afraid our family would have followed in the footsteps of those people. ”
......
Someone once said that at this time, there are two things that are the most invincible: one is the face of a businessman, no matter how hard you grind, you can still be airtight. Someone once laughed and said that if the face of the merchant is piled up on the border pass of the West Liang and Beimang, it will ensure that my Kyushu Wu Dynasty can last for thousands of years. The reason why a joke is a joke is that it is absurd and authentic at the same time.
Another invincible thing is the credibility of politicians.
In the territory of Emperor Wu of Xiliang, from the beginning of the people coming and going, to the dissipation of the crowd after the winter, and then to the later appearance of the Wumu Arsenal, people on the Wulin Road in the rivers and lakes of Kyushu have poured into this desolate Xiliang border. However, until now, the crowd of people on the rivers and lakes of Kyushu has surged outward again, hovering on the border of Xiliang to the east.
There is only one reason, the two great commanders of the Wu Dynasty Dark Clothes Guard turned into two giant meat grinders near the Xiliang Wu Emperor City, and on the land of Xiliang, without asking any reason, without asking any family sect, they would kill when they saw it!
But the wealth is moving, and those things in the Wumu arsenal are in the hearts of the martial arts people on the rivers and lakes of Kyushu, which is tantamount to representing endless fame and fortune, and representing the future that will climb to the peak, so they are not willing to leave, but they are not willing to die in the hands of the two commanders of the dark clothes guard before and after for no reason, which also leads to a large group of martial arts people wandering on the southeast border of Xiliang, not far in and out, all fantasizing about waiting until the end, and becoming the only winner.
At the very least, dreams are good, aren't they.
Immediately afterwards, there was a rumor in the rivers and lakes of Kyushu, and one person fell again on the new grandmaster list, Tuoba Feng, a disciple of the Sword Sect. The Grandmaster List has changed again.
On the basis of these, many martial arts people feel that on the border of Xiliang, the last six of the grandmaster list are selected in the competition. Naturally, there are speculative businessmen in it.
When things on the rivers and lakes are intervened by businessmen, I don't know whether it is ridiculous or sad.
