Xiang An was stunned, he took a step back and looked down at Chu Qingxiao.

In his eyes, there is a slight taste of scrutiny and scrutiny.

It seems to be measuring what kind of state of mind the teenager who said this.

And soon, he got the answer from the decisive look in the other party's eyes.

He laughed.

"Chu Qingxiao."

"You really haven't changed at all."

He said this, walked from Chu Qingxiao's side, came to Chu Qingxiao's opposite side again, and sat down.

And when he sat back in his place and looked at Chu Qingxiao again, the warm color between his previous eyebrows had already dissipated.

At that moment, it was as if he was a different person.

Become cold, unfamiliar, and even dangerous.

The corners of his mouth went up, and he laughed again.

It's different from the warm and excited smile before.

This time.

His smile was tinged with contempt.

Looking at Chu Qingxiao's eyes, it was as if he was looking at a child who had never been in the world and was willful.

"Justice?"

"Chu Qingxiao."

"What do you think is justice?"

Chu Qingxiao read the contempt in the other party's eyes.

He was not surprised by Xiang An's transformation.

He said with a calm face: "Paying off debts and killing people to pay for their lives is justice." ”

This answer made Xiang An stunned, and then he shook his head and smiled: "Then the justice you want has to go to the ancient god of Candle Yin, it was he who besieged Wuling City, and it was he who killed the people of Sword Armor and Wuling City." ”

Chu Qingxiao also shook his head.

"Candleshade owes us our lives, and I've got it back for them."

"Now I want a debt to us in the summer!"

Xiang An asked, "Debt to you?" ”

"We are the people of the Great Xia court, and we have never been in arrears in our taxes, and we have never evaded military service. We fulfilled our obligations, and the Great Xia court was supposed to protect us, wasn't it? Chu Qingxiao asked.

Xiang An said: "But twelve years ago, the world was in turmoil, rebellions broke out everywhere, and the court was too busy to take care of itself, how can this be blamed?" ”

Xiang An's words make a lot of sense.

At that time, the Great Xia court was too busy to take care of itself, and the government decrees did not reach southern Xinjiang at all, so it was difficult to organize troops and horses to support, and it was also powerless.

But Chu Qingxiao's answer is more reasonable.

He asked rhetorically: "Don't blame the court, do we blame ourselves?" ”

Xiang An was stunned for a moment, dumbfounded for a while.

But soon he said again: "Well, even if you want to be fair, then the chaos in the world back then was caused by those rebels." ”

"And now that these rebels have been exterminated, and this fair court has been returned to you, what are you dissatisfied with?"

Chu Qingxiao looked at him and said quietly, "That's ...... Song Guicheng and their justice? ”

Chu Qingxiao's eyes were clear and stubborn.

Such as the spring pool in March.

In pristine condition.

Xiang An's body trembled visibly at that time.

He didn't like that kind of gaze.

That gaze made him feel as if he was looking at his past self.

He was also the same as Chu Qingxiao.

Stubborn and naïve.

In the days when I first came to Tianhang Mountain.

He also remembered his mission and ran for Wuling City.

But what can an eighteen- or nineteen-year-old do?

Not to mention passing the crisis of Wuling City to the imperial court, it is even more difficult to see the guards of the previous Divine Peak.

He could only watch Wuling City walk step by step towards the abyss in isolation, until the news of its demise came.

Those nightmarish pasts come flooding back to me.

This Ganquan Peak disciple with two king swords on his body couldn't help but avoid Chu Qingxiao's appearance.

"Chu Qingxiao."

"It's complicated."

"You don't understand ......"

He said this, but his voice was a little dry.

"Mr. Wei once said that the way in the world is nothing more than four words."

"Knowledge and action are one." Chu Qingxiao said in a deep voice.

"I may not really understand what happened, but I want to go through it and give it a try."

Xiang An shook his head: "You still don't understand, what is hidden behind that incident, if you insist on going your own way, you may ......"

"It's nothing more than death, maybe you don't know, I've died many times, when I was in Wuling City." Chu Qingxiao interrupted the other party's words.

His tone was still calm, but the resoluteness that was wrapped in calm was as unshakable as iron.

Looking at Chu Qingxiao like this, Xiang An's face gradually turned cold.

He calmed down the ripples that had just risen in his heart.

"Li Zaishan, you killed you, right?" He asked suddenly.

Li Zaishan's death is not a good thing for Chu Qingxiao.

He nodded, his voice muffled, "Well, I killed it." ”

"Do you think he's at fault?" Xiang An asked again.

"......" Chu Qingxiao was just about to explain.

Xiang An continued: "He escaped from Wuling City, but do you know what he went through? ”

"He wanted to ask for help for Wuling City, but in exchange for a prison disaster."

"He was kept in a dungeon, suffering every day."

"No matter what choice he makes, Wuling City is destined to be difficult to save."

"Yes! In the end, he compromised! ”

"But even if he doesn't compromise, the ending of Wuling City won't change."

"He survived, but he didn't rely on selling Wuling City to enjoy the glory and wealth, you have been to Shuiyang City, you can ask the people there, what a good county commander Li Zaishan is!"

"Isn't such a person worthy of life? You must be buried with Wuling City, can you be considered a good person in the eyes of Chu Qingxiao? ”

The more Xiang An spoke, the more excited he became, and his face became flushed, such a gaffe had not appeared on his body for many years.

"If in your heart, Lee Jae-shan deserves to die!"

"Is that me, Xiaozhu, we all deserve to die!?" Xiang An asked angrily.

"And Zhao Nianshuang, you also want to kill her, right?"

Chu Qingxiao was silent suddenly, his face had been calm since he saw Xiang An, and at that moment, there was finally a slight change.

"I ......"

"I don't hate you."

"I know what happened back then, you were also victims, and I never wanted to embarrass you." Chu Qingxiao's voice softened a little.

"It's true that Li Zaishan was killed by me, but he begged for death by himself, and I ......"

"You still don't understand!" Xiang An interrupted Chu Qingxiao's words again.

"What happened back then, there were big people behind the manipulation, and your investigation is the root cause of his death."

"Most of the people who survived from Wuling City back then are now incognito, if you continue to track down like this, there will be more Li Zaishan who will die because of you!"

"But they are innocent! They didn't besiege Wuling City, nor did they kill the sword armor! ”

"They just had no choice but to tell some lies after the destruction of Wuling City."

"Chu Qingxiao! Whether it's swords and armor, or the people of Wuling City, they're dead! ”

"Dead people, no matter what you do, you can't bring them back to life!"

"But we're alive!"

"Shouldn't the living be more important than the dead?"

Xiang An's series of questions made Chu Qingxiao fall silent.

He had imagined countless times when the old people met.

It should be a scene of tears or ecstasy.

But whether it was Li Zaishan before or Xiang An in front of him, in their eyes, he seemed to be more like a trouble.

A demon who crawled out of a nightmare twelve years ago and demanded his life.

But he didn't understand what he was doing wrong.

He just wants justice for the sword armor and Wuling City.

This is just the simplest and most natural requirement.

"I'm ......" After a long time, Chu Qingxiao said again: "I will think of a foolproof plan, as far as possible not to affect you and Nianshuang, I am not here to drag you down, I just want to come and see you, and then leave ......"

Chu Qingxiao's answer did not satisfy Xiang An.

Xiang An stood up, he looked down at Chu Qingxiao, with pity in his eyes.

"Qingxiao...... Chu Qingxiao! ”

"Do you think I'm telling you this because I'm afraid you'll hurt me?"

"Huh...... You think too highly of yourself. ”

"You are a martial artist who has just stepped into the four realms, what can you do?"

"If you present everything you know to the emperor in Tailin City now, the emperor will only act as if he didn't see anything!"

"Your stubbornness can only harm you, I am saving your life!"

thought that such words would make Chu Qingxiao angry or ashamed of himself.

But what Xiang An didn't expect was that after listening to his words.

Chu Qingxiao breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good."

"If it really won't drag you down, then I'm relieved."

Xiang An never thought that Chu Qingxiao would respond like this, he couldn't help but be stunned, looked at the other party in astonishment, and asked, "Chu Qingxiao, you finally came out of Wuling City alive, do you want to die like this?" ”

Chu Qingxiao also looked at Xiang An with a straight face and said.

"If you can get justice for the swordsmen."

"What do I have to do with my life?"
