Chapter 311: The power is empty, the name is empty, and there is only a handful of ashes left

Wu Yan sat silently in the car, the broken knife resting horizontally on his knees, his eyes slightly closed.

On the originally noisy Fuli Street, due to the turmoil of these days, it was very quiet at this time, and only the sound of horses' hooves came.

The car belongs to the Tingwei Mansion, and this time the car fence was installed, which was not as arrogant as Zhang Geng on weekdays, and he disdained to use this layer of wood to provide privacy and security for himself.

Zhang Geng gave Wu Gen an irresistible condition, and in exchange for his shot with the cause of death of Jia Wenyun, the mother of the shallow painting, killed Rong Kui.

Borrowing a knife to kill means that the knife is at risk of being abandoned at any time. Once the incident happens in the future, everything is the responsibility of the knife, but it has nothing to do with the person who borrowed the knife.

Looking at the broken knife in front of him, the corners of Wu Gan's mouth flashed with a hint of ridicule. This court is really a little similar to the knife grinding gate, give some sweetness, and finally want this knife to kill.

But so what, Wu Gen and Zhang Geng put forward two conditions. One is that after this incident, you must not disturb yourself anymore, as long as you can stay with Zhu Qianhua peacefully, it is all worth it.

The other is to kill Zhao Ling, for himself and for Xiang Qi.

Zhang Geng was a little embarrassed, the first condition was easy to say, as long as Wu Geng was honest, no one would be willing to deal with him. The second is a little embarrassed, because Zongzheng Mansion suddenly went to the prison to pick up people and took Zhao Ling away, and Zhang Geng didn't know where he went.

Wu Gen couldn't help but sigh secretly, with Zhao Ling's temperament, I am afraid that he has found a way to survive in a desperate situation. It's just that even the eldest princess has entered the Guiyuan Sect, and several princes are imprisoned in the mansion, how can she, a lord of Zhaoling, escape punishment, and the price is estimated to be very high this time.

Rong Kui has been released from prison, and because the eldest princess's mansion has been confiscated, he has to be locked up in a small courtyard in the south of the city.

This is a place where civilians live together, the alleys are complex, and most of the underground forces in the city make a living here, coolies, secret prostitutes, beggars, thieves, etc., the darkest side of the city can be found here. Bodies are often found in dark ditches, and the death of a few people does not attract attention.

The car stopped slightly, and Wu Geng put away a file and put it in his arms, which was a secret letter from Zhang Geng to himself. Slowly getting out of the car with a knife, Wu Qian nodded at the coachman.

In front of him was a chaotic alley, and there was a smell of shame in the air. The streets are filthy and cluttered, mixed with the convenience of people and animals.

After looking around, Wu Jian walked to a small courtyard and knocked lightly on the door.

After a long time, the door creaked open, and a gray-haired, haggard-looking man opened it.

Seeing Wu Gan, the man couldn't help but mock, "I thought it was an inconspicuous street gangster, or a drunken villain, who accidentally broke into the door and killed the residents here." I didn't expect it to be you, and it seems that you are not very smart. ”

Wu Yan tilted his head to look at Rong Kui, who had suddenly aged a lot, and smiled modestly, "Let you see the laughter, they are all people in the bureau, and they know that it is a pit, so they have to jump down obediently." Why, if you don't invite me in and sit down, I'll cut you off with a knife in front of the door. ”

"Come in, everyone's knife is a knife, and it's the same to me." Rong Kui pulled his shoes and walked in, took two steps and then turned back and instructed, "Close the door for me, so as not to be seen by the good deeds, and kill a few more people." Thank you. ”

Wu Yan obediently closed the door and followed Rong Kui to the house. The furnishings in the room are very simple, a table and a bed, and the candles on the table are dim, showing the dark shadows of the four sides.

"I won't invite you to tea, just hurry up if you want to. I know that as soon as the eldest princess leaves, my life will not be saved.

Zhao Ye looks magnanimous, but in fact he is extremely violent, I, an outsider, actually participated in the establishment of other people's heirs, with my human nature, I will not be allowed to live in the world again. Rong Kui sat at the table and watched the candle flame come quietly.

"It's just that to do this kind of thing, it's better to find a dead soldier to do it, and it's okay to kill it afterwards. If you come here to commit murder, you are not afraid that the people of the Tingwei Mansion will be ambushed outside. As soon as you go out, they swarm up and cut off your head. ”

Wu Yan gently put the knife on the table, sat on the other side, and stared straight at the dark part of the room, "They won't, they don't want Fuli City to bleed tonight." When the light of the candle flame came to him, he seemed unwilling to linger long, so that there was darkness in front of him.

"You've changed, I can feel it." Rong Kui said with emotion, "In fact, you and I are the same people, rising step by step from the bottom, and finally entering the ranks of nobles." But it became a noble person who found out that when he suddenly entered this circle, people didn't take you seriously at all, but just regarded you as an upstart-like existence.

There's no way, I just lost my face, lost my humanity, drilled the camp step by step, tended to be inflammatory, dogs and flies, and even married myself twice, isn't such a person very shameless. Rong Kui turned his head to look at Wu Gan, with a miserable smile on his face.

"The path is chosen by oneself, and the world only looks at the result, and the process is not worth mentioning. When things are done, shamelessness will also turn into forbearance, but the drill camp has become progressive.

You are too anxious, people say that the Ze of the Ten Worlds, you have only been in one life, and you have walked in front of many people, and you are still delusional about going further, not what is the way to die. Without this partisanship, there will be other crimes next time, sooner or later. Wu Yan was unmoved, he didn't even look at the other party, he just stared at the darkness in the corner, as if there was countless gold and silver hidden there.

"I didn't expect you to live so transparently, and I have been in business for so long before I suddenly realized this truth." Rong Kui sighed.

"Don't worry, you wouldn't have realized it without this incident. is in the game, how can you see the outside of the game, eat from the top, and how can you notice the sword and axe behind you. By the way, you are also from a poor background, why are you so opposed to my husband, isn't it good to give the people some way out. Wu Qian suddenly turned his head.

Rong Kui glanced at Wu Yan meaningfully, "It's just a vote, if you don't do this, how can they tolerate me." ”

"What else do you want to say?" Wu Yan grabbed the broken knife on the table.

"There is nothing more to say, I am satisfied with the death of one son in exchange for the safety of the other. People are dying, their words are also good, it is not easy to see you along the way, since you have not fallen too deep, you might as well get out of the game earlier.

You stay here, Zhu Buzhan, and your little lady Zhu Qianhua is even more dangerous. Before he has the strength to lift the table, a person can't fight that group of people, and that person still has the power to decide life and death. ”

Wu Yan was silent for a long time, then nodded and said, "Thank you." By the way, did you interfere in the death of my master back then? ”

Rong Kui shook his head, "Your master is a member of the Divine Sect, and the Divine Sect is quite powerful in other continents, so it is not easy to kill. Besides, what good will it do me to kill her, I naturally won't get involved, you should go to someone who is dissatisfied with the Divine Cult, or who is jealous of the Divine Cult's forces, and doesn't want it to infiltrate the Zhao Kingdom. ”

Wu Yan nodded, confirming the conjecture in his heart, reached out and took out half of the hosta from his sleeve and put it in front of Rong Kui, "Know this thing, use it to break it, it can be regarded as paying for a long-cherished grudge." ”

Rong Kui picked up the hosta, his face was complicated, "How is she, you killed her?" ”

"No, gone, left Zhao Kingdom, there is no more peach leaf Niangniang in the world." Wu Jian stood up, held the knife in his arms, and looked at Rong Kui coldly.

"Let's go, the most sorry thing in my life is her, I have killed her several times, and I want to get rid of the troubles, but I can't do it. That's it, even if it's compensation for her. Rong Kui said, holding half of the hosta with both hands, and stabbed into his throat with a thud.

Plopped, Rong Kui rolled off the chair and rolled on the ground in pain. Blood mixed with bubbles flowed out of his mouth, and a ho-ho sound came out of his throat. The hosta is too short, but it can't take its life suddenly.

Rong Kui struggled on the ground, his eyes showing a look of pleading, and one hand reached out to Wu Gan, muttering in his mouth.

Wu Yan leaned down and listened attentively, "Save me, save me." "The voice was very weak.

Shaking his head, Wu Yan sighed, "Okay." He put his hand on Rong Kui's heart, and the secret force urged, and his heart was shattered, and he was out of breath. Looking at Rong Kui with a distorted face, Wu Yan picked up the candle on the table, "I am reluctant to die in the end, but when I come to such a situation, who can save you." As he spoke, he put the candle on the bed.

Walking out of the courtyard gate, Wu Jian gently closed the door.

The carriage was still waiting at the door, Wu Gan got into the car, knocked lightly on the carriage, and the carriage slowly drove forward, gradually blending into the night. In the small courtyard behind him, a fire was lit.

At the foot of Xi Mountain, Wu Gen is looking at the emerald green peaks, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the scenery is charming, there are hidden pavilions and cornices on it, it seems that Rong Kui has been operating here for a long time, but it is really a beautiful place.

At this time, this peak, along with the manor at the foot of the mountain, had been classified under Wu Gan's name. Zhang Geng stood beside Wu Gan, "How about it, this deal is cost-effective." ”

Wu Gan smiled and said, "It's such a big steamed bun, but it gags my mouth tightly." Reaching out and picking up a stone from the ground, he threw it far away, "Yes, I am very satisfied, thank you for your success." If you are in trouble in the future, you may as well take refuge from me. ”

Zhang Geng sneered, "Cool officials naturally rarely have a good end, but you may not be able to fall into Ansheng, dare to threaten the royal family with heavy weapons, which one can have a good end." Speaking of this, Zhang Geng's voice lowered, "King Zhao of Jinchun has arrived in the capital. ”

Wu Geng's eyes moved, "Oh, he is willing to give up his family business in Guanxi City, wouldn't he go to the capital to get rid of his minions and let others slaughter him." ”

"Hahaha." Zhang Geng looked up to the sky and laughed, "Isn't he coming, do you know why Zhao Ling was released from prison, and I just found out." She reported her father for rebellion, and all kinds of plans and arrangements were clearly explained.

The emperor asked the national teacher, Zongzhengfu and General Wei to send troops overnight, and they were caught off guard, and they were taken down without injuring a single soldier. This King of Jinchun did not come by himself, but was sent by a chariot, and his son came with him.

I heard that King Jinchun wept bitterly in front of the emperor, and slapped himself in the mouth, saying that he was confused and was willing to give up the throne and fief and just want to live. ”

"Does that person agree?" Wu Ling was also curious, but he didn't expect Zhao Ling to be so ruthless that he even sold his father.

"Agreed, why not. Don't forget, there are still more than a dozen princes with fiefdoms in Zhao State, and under the sadness of the rabbit and the fox, there will inevitably be disrespectful behavior.

The emperor's grace was vast, not only spared King Jinchun from the death penalty, but also gave a set of mansions in the capital, which was the mansion of the original eldest princess. Let Zhao Chang be idle and go into the palace to chat with the old lady.

When you're old, you should do some of the work that an old man should do. The court did not support idlers, and gave him a salary, how can he do it without doing some work. Zhang Geng's yin and yang are weird, and his contempt for King Jinchun is obvious.

Wu Yan scratched his head, since this Zhao Ling has come to life, there will be a lot of troubles in the future.

"By the way, the Cult of God is coming." Zhang Geng suddenly spoke, "I heard that the Great Xia Kingdom sent a prince to escort it to Fuli City. ”

"Oh."
