Chapter 56: Twenty Years
Xiao Yu had a bloody hole in his chest, he was holding a sword in one hand and covering his mouth with the other, wisps of blood flowed out from between his fingers, and he staggered forward.
The smile on Wan Yande's face slowly faded, and at this moment, there was neither the previous humble and polite harmony, nor the vicious murderous aura of Fang Cai, only the sadness and joy that could not see the meaning, this was the regent who was in charge of the government of the Later Dynasty in the past.
Mount Tai collapsed in front of him without changing color, and there must be calm in the face of major events. Wan Yan De has always educated Wan Yan Hong in this way, and he himself has done the same, but when he faced Xiao Yu today, he was a little out of shape. I don't know if it's Xiao Yu's sake or Xiao Lie's sake.
Wan Yande raised his hand to stop Tiefutu's charge, and asked Xiao Yu, who was already less than twenty feet away from him, "Can you still live?"
Xiao Yu let go of the hand covering his mouth, spit out a mouthful of blood, and said indifferently: "I can't die." ”
Wan Yan De was a little surprised by this, but he didn't dig too deep, now the two are in a situation where they are about to lose both, Xiao Yu can raise his hand to kill him Wan Yan De, and he can continue to use the life of the heavy rider to kill Xiao Yu who has been seriously injured, but in this way, it can only be the shepherd Qi who watched from the side and Emperor Zheng who was far away in the eastern capital, and made a wedding dress for others in vain. He is the regent of Houjian, not a dead soldier, no matter how much he wants to kill Xiao Yu, the premise is that he can ensure that he is alive and well. So Wan Yande took a step back.
Xiao Yu straightened up, the blood on his chest had stopped, and the wisps of red threads intertwined a large net in the blood hole, as if he was trying his best to repair this terrifying wound.
Seeing such a scene, Wan Yande finally sighed quietly, it seems that this time he really can't kill Xiao Yu. However, he is not a person who can't afford to lose, this time he should only act arbitrarily for the things of the year, and what will happen in the future, he should have another plan.
After all, the relationship between him and Xiao Yu cannot be summed up as a private grudge alone, one of the two of them represents Houjian, the other represents the northwest, and even involves the two behemoths of the Demon Sect and the Taoist Sect, if it weren't for killing Xiao Yu in line with Li Xu's plan for the Taoist Sect's millennium plan, Li Xu would never sit back and watch Yan De's arbitrary actions.
It's just that now that he hasn't killed him, it's time to find another way. Don't you see yesterday or the grassland is rebellious, today is the king of Xiping County?
Wanyan Dewen smiled and said: "King Xiping, this king will compensate you first, it's not thoughtful, this time it's this king Meng Lang." ”
A moment ago, he was still a great enemy of life and death, but in the blink of an eye, he was a gentle elder, and the transformation could be called mellow and wishful, Xiao Yu also had to admit that he was still too much worse than these older generations in terms of scheming in the city government. Xiao Yu was silent for a moment, then laughed softly: "This trip to the giant deer, Xiao came with sincerity, but he didn't expect to fall a big heel, this time he should eat a trench and grow wise, and he will not dare to act like this in the future." ”
Wan Yande laughed and said: "King Xiping should not be too humble, why don't you seek wealth and nobility in danger? If this king turns his face, you will come up with a plan and solve this king by taking advantage of the situation." Just now, you can retreat calmly, but you want to kill this king, this king has just come back to his senses, King Xiping, your mind is not simple. ”
Xiao was noncommittal, but smiled lightly: "Now the person who is seriously injured and dying is me, and the prince is not damaged at all." ”
Wan Yande smiled with a hint of coldness, and said: "With the physique of King Xiping, it will not be a big problem to be charged by another wave of cavalry, and as long as this king accepts a sword from King Xiping, I am afraid that his soul will fly out of the sky." ”
Xiao Yu dispersed the forty-nine platinum sword qi on the broken array, the long sword was slanted, and there was no speech.
Wan Yande's expression calmed down, turned the horse's head, and said calmly: "Speaking of which, your father Xiao Lie and I are also old acquaintances and old enemies, but now it seems that we are old after all, not so much to see how we are, but to see how our children and grandchildren are." Today's matter is considered to be the repayment of the father's debt and the son's debt, and there will be no grievances in the future, as for the grievances between you and Hong'er, you will settle them by yourself. ”
Xiao Yu said softly: "Don't send it." ”
The remaining Tiefutu slowly retreated, and went away with Wanyan De.
Xiao Yu put the broken array into the sheath and spat out regardless of his manners.
Not because of Wan Yande, but because of Xiao Lie.
The father's debt is repaid, and Xiao Yu has no opinion. But if it's because of Xiao Lie's ** debt, this can make Xiao Yu very evil.
The father's confidante, and the mother's life and death enemy.
If Fang Xuan hadn't died, this kind of thing would not have mattered, after all, a man, Xiao Yu wouldn't have said much, but Xiao Yu turned against Xiao Lie because of Fang Xuan's death, no matter whether Xiao Lie cared about it or not, Xiao Yu would definitely be difficult to let go.
Therefore, Xiao Yu has an incomparable moderation with the disciples of the family in the matter of women, whether it is Qiu Si or Qin Mumian, Xiao Yu has kept a certain distance, if he says that he is pure and has few desires, without the slightest charming thought, Xiao Yu himself does not believe it, but he just holds his breath in his heart, you Xiao Lie did not do it, I will do it for you! That's it.
In the final analysis, Xiao Yu is just a young man who has not yet started a family and is not yet in his prime. No matter how you are in a high position, you will eventually lose some years of precipitation. Especially in the matter of feelings, it is not said that you can let go. Maybe when Xiao Yu reaches the age of not being confused, he can not fight for a while, and learn Yan De's "smile and enmity".
Xiao Yu also reflected on this, but came to a conclusion that made him not know how to be good, "Maybe one day, he will become the second Xiao Lie, and become the person he once hated the most." ”
Is this so-called maturity right or wrong, a progress or a regression?
Maybe he really responded to that sentence, he failed to change the world after all, but let the world change himself, and now all he can do is to change the next generation and make them the same as himself.
Xu Lin didn't know when he walked behind Xiao Yu and interrupted Xiao Yu's thoughts with a light cough, "How is Your Highness's injury?"
Xiao Yu came to his senses, turned around and shook his head, "It's okay, what about the Ghost King?"
Xu Lin sighed lightly: "After Yan De retreated, he had no intention of fighting again, I couldn't keep him, he fought hard to take my punch and escaped." ”
Xiao Yu said thoughtfully: "If this person can be used by me, let him take charge of the internal guard in place of Lan Yu, so that Lan Yu can concentrate on sorting out the internal affairs of the five northwestern states, what do the metropolitan governors think?"
Xu Lin shook his head and said, "This person is aiming at the cultivation world, I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult to recruit. ”
Xiao Yu made a false gesture with his hand, and said coldly: "If you can't use it for me, then get rid of this person." ”
Xu Lin smiled bitterly: "It's difficult, back then, this person was able to escape from Shangguan Xianchen's hands, and his ability to escape can be seen. ”
Xiao Yu snorted coldly and said, "Then let's discuss it later." ”
Seeing that Xiao Yu was in an unhappy mood, Xu Lin changed the topic and said, "What is His Highness Fang Cai thinking?"
Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said bluntly: "I'm thinking about what Xiao Yu will be like in twenty years. ”
Xu Lin asked with interest, "I wonder if His Highness has come up with it?"
Xiao Yu glanced at the slanting sun that was gradually falling westward, smiled for no reason, and said, "I figured it out, it's an annoying guy." ”
Xu Lin laughed when he heard this: "Hearing His Highness say this, I think of myself twenty years ago, if it was Xu Lin twenty years ago, he would not have dismounted and surrendered under the Zhongdu City that day, but would have fought to the death." ”
Xiao Yu squinted and smiled: "Actually, not to mention twenty years, even Xiao Yu five years ago, if he could take charge of the 400,000 army in the northwest, he would never accept the title of the king of Xiping County, and he would definitely wave his troops to the south and burn a jade with Emperor Zheng." ”
Xu Lin shook his head and smiled: "If it was Xiao Yu five years ago, he wouldn't have the blue eyes of Qiu Ye, and he wouldn't have let Xu defeat Qinghe, let alone bear the burden of the northwest." ”
Xiao Yu nodded and muttered, "That's the same reason." ”
Xu Lin said: "Your Highness, Zishuiyang and they are also coming back soon. ”
Xiao Yu stretched out his hand and rubbed his chest, the original blood hole the size of the bowl had healed, if it weren't for Xiao Yu's slightly pale face now and the blood stains remaining on the broken robe on his chest, he couldn't see the slightest trace of injury at all, and said slowly: "Then let's go, let's go to meet Zhuge Gong and Minxing, lest someone can't bear it and want to make a profit." ”
