Chapter 229: Where Are You?
The highly respected and powerful leader of the Tang Dynasty military suddenly showed a slightly frivolous look of mockery and shamelessness on his old face, which did not make Ning Que feel that the other party had more of the worldly atmosphere of ordinary people, but he felt a heavy pressure, and replied slowly: "It's not that I don't dare, but I don't want to." ”
"The general said before that the military department has a pavilion without a wall, which won my heart, I am the Tang Dynasty dominates the world, no matter what the wind and rain outside, it will not collapse, but I am worried that the disaster will occur within the city wall, if the general insists on trying me, in the eyes of outsiders, I am afraid that the emperor is trying to suppress the academy. ”
He said: "I know that the general has no such intention, but I must not send this and wrong information to the enemies of the Tang Dynasty, so I don't want the general to interrogate, and the general can't interrogate me." ”
"Ning Que, Ning Que. ”
The expression on Xu Shi's face disappeared, and he looked at him indifferently and said: "If you don't deny it in every possible way, but take responsibility, maybe I can praise you for being a man." ”
Ning Que responded: "If you can be a powdered minister, it's not bad." ”
Xu Shi said: "Are you determined to challenge my Datang military? What a arrogant fanatic, do you think you really have this qualification?"
"Although I don't understand what you mean by this, General. ”
Ning Que paused slightly, and said: "I am a disciple of the master, I entered the world on behalf of the academy, and walked the world after the junior uncle, I really don't know what kind of qualifications I have." ”
Xu Shi stared at his eyes for a long time, then walked to the railing with his hands in his hands, looked condescendingly at Chang'an City outside the grass forest, and said: "You were also a soldier, so you should know very well what my duties as a Tang Dynasty soldier are, so don't think that I really dare not kill you." ”
As these words came out, an extremely powerful and indifferent aura emanated from the general's slightly stiff body, completely isolating his people from the surrounding heaven and earth.
The fresh forest breeze circulating between the pavilions suddenly stopped silently, the cyan treetops outside the fence also stopped swaying, and the leaves that had been blown off by the wind before also stopped rolling among the grass.
Looking at everything outside the attic fence from Ning Que's line of sight, it became static at this moment, like a landscape painting limited by a painting frame.
He himself has become a part of this landscape.
Only the old man at the railing, completely isolated from the landscape, is still free.
The aura of heaven and earth in the pavilion has been completely controlled by the old man on the side of the fence, standing still, losing all his vitality, as long as he wants, he can crush a qiē in this room.
Facing the back of the old man who seemed to be Xiao Suo and stiff, but was actually powerful and terrifying, Ning Que was silent, thinking that he really deserved to be the first person in the Tang Dynasty military.
This kind of cultivation realm is actually faintly beyond the scope of the peak of martial arts.
Ning Que knew very well that he had absolutely no way to fight against such a powerful realm, as long as Xu Shiwei moved his thoughts, the solidified heaven and earth vitality around him would instantly crush him into powder
The cold sweat gradually soaked the back of his clothes, wetting the big black umbrella behind him.
The expression on his face remained calm.
In the landscape painting, only the old man in the fence is free.
Fortunately, the old man seemed to want to hear what he said, so Ning Que's mouth was also free.
"I entered the Imperial City yesterday. ”
Ning Que looked at the back of the old man on the railing and said, "Take me to the small building." ”
He knew that Xu Shi, as the leader of the Tang Dynasty military, absolutely knew what the small building in the palace meant, and sure enough, the court clothes on the old man's body swayed a little.
He continued: "Yesterday I went to the General's Mansion Tao, and I first went to Suzaku Avenue......
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Xu Shishi said, "Suzaku ...... Confessed?"
Ning Que said: "Yes, so general, you should know that now I am in charge of the safety of this Chang'an City, if you really think about the Tang Dynasty and want to fulfill the duties of a Tang soldier, then what you need to do now is to protect my safety, not try to kill me." ”
Xu Shi stood on the railing with his hands and looked into the distance, was silent for a long time, and suddenly muttered with a hint of regret and anger: "I didn't expect it to fall into your hands in the end." ”
Ning Que was silent.
Xu Shi turned around, looked at him expressionlessly and said: "The reason why I investigated you is precisely because I disagree with the axis to hand over the array eye pestle to you, to tell you the truth, I have been friends with Yan Se for many years, but I think he misjudged you, and the master also misjudged you." ”
Ning Que really didn't expect that this Tang Dynasty military leader actually had a deep friendship with his master, and he couldn't understand these recent things anymore, so he raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Why?"
"Because you are not upright, because you are ruthless and cold-blooded, because I know very well that if I really reach the critical point of life and death in Datang, you will definitely not live and die with this majestic city. ”
Xu Shi looked at him and said word by word.
Ning Que was silent again, and had to admit that Xu Shi's opinion of himself was correct, yesterday before the portrait of Suzaku, he was full of pride, silently vowing to protect Chang'an City and the Tang Dynasty, but in the true oath in his heart, he still put his life on the top.
After being silent for a long time, he raised his head, looked at Xu Shi and said seriously, "I can assure you that at least I will do my best. ”
Xu Shi said, "How do you make me think of you?"
Ning Que asked, "Why can't I make you believe it?"
Xu Shi said: "Because you are not trustworthy. ”
Ning Que asked rhetorically, "What kind of talent is trustworthy?"
Xu Shi said: "Like your master Yan Ji, he seems to be laughing at the world, but in fact he knows what justice is and what is awe. ”
Ning Que shook his head and said, "My master is dead, and although you have been friends with him for decades, I don't think you know him well enough, master, he has never been a person who upholds justice, and he doesn't know what reverence is, he just understands what responsibility is, and I understand this."
Xu Shi said: "Your hands are stained with too much blood, and you are not qualified to hold that pestle." ”
Ning Que said: "Yesterday in the General's Mansion, you asked me about the fourteenth year of the Apocalypse, when the imperial history Zhang Yi rode to death...... Where am I? Where was I when the old blacksmith in the east of the city died? Where was I when the tea master Yan Suqing died? Today in this pavilion, you asked me where I was when Huang Yu and the others died last night. ”
Xu Shi looked back at him coldly.
Ning Que asked calmly: "You asked me a lot where I am, and I want to ask too...... When Xiahou slaughtered the village in Yanjing and hundreds of innocent people turned into charred corpses, where were you? When Xiahou buried 30,000 deaths...... Where are you? When the Xuanwei General's Mansion was full of blood, you ...... And where?
Listening to these successive questions, Xu Shi instantly seemed to become a little older.
The atmosphere in the pavilion was slightly loosened, and the scenery outside the building came alive again.
Ning Que took two steps towards Tao, came to Xu Shi's side, and continued: "I do have a lot of blood on my hands, General, you may not really have any blood on your hands, but it doesn't mean that your hands are cleaner than mine." ”
"As you say...... Of course I'm not a good person, and I've never cared about any ugliness, blood, and injustice in the world...... As long as those things have nothing to do with me, maybe I really don't have the right to hold that pestle, but this ...... There are not many people in the world who are qualified to question my qualifications to hold the pestle. ”
"At least not you, General. ”
"At the beginning, Xiahou was able to stay out of the matter, those generals and captains who slaughtered the village were not punished, and the court's statement was that there was no evidence involved in the case, and the case could not be asked according to Tang Law, in fact, you and I both knew that it was only because Xiahou had meritorious service to the Tang Dynasty, and the Northeast Frontier Army was useful to the empire. ”
Ning Que said: "Since the imperial court insists on Tang Law first, if the general wants to interrogate the relationship between me and those murders, please find evidence first, otherwise please don't bother me in the future." ”
Xu Shi was silent for a long time, looked at him indifferently and asked, "Then can you sue me, are you doing these things for justice or revenge?"
"I am not a messenger of justice. ”
Ning Que said: "I have no selfish grudge with General Xiahou, just because he offended me in the wasteland. ”
Xu Shi said: "Who can believe this and rhetoric?"
Ning Que said: "I don't need to let others believe it, as long as the master and His Majesty have no opinions." ”
Xu Shi said: "Do you think Your Majesty will always favor you?"
Ning Que shook his head and said, "This has nothing to do with favor, it's just that I think even if Your Majesty knows about it, the madman will think that I did these things very right." ”
He suddenly felt that he had said enough today.
So he turned and walked towards the stairs.
However, at this moment, Xu Shi suddenly sighed.
"You are very calm, I can imagine that in the future, you may become a very good person, even better than Ke Haoran, then you may also be more dangerous than him. ”
Ning Que listened to the voice behind him, stopped, and thought that His Majesty the Emperor had said in the palace that Xu Shi was undefeated in this life, but he had suffered a great loss under the hands of Uncle Xiao, did he really have to bear the consequences for the master?
He turned around and looked at Xu Shi on the side of the railing, and finally got annoyed.
"I respect you as the general of Zhenguo, so I said so many words to you with sincerity and sincerity, if you really want to tear your face and don't want the fig leaf of Tang Lu, then why did you say so much nonsense before. ”
"Tang Law is not a fig leaf, it is the foundation of Datang. If you keep this view, then I can't let this thing go on like this. ”
Xu Shi looked at him and said calmly: "Don't violate Tang Law, I still have a lot of means to make you disappear without a trace." ”
Ning Que said: "I'm looking forward to it. ”
Then he shook his head and said, "Don't lead some people from the Buddha to challenge me like Tao Mian did a few times, you should know that it won't be very useful." ”
Xu Shi said: "Do you really think that after Liu Yiqing loses to you, no one will dare to challenge you?"
Ning Que said: "At least a big man like you will not come to challenge me, because you can't afford to lose that person." ”
At that moment, a voice sounded behind him.
"I can afford to lose this man. ”
Ning Que turned his head to look, only to see a slightly chubby man appear at the top of the stairs.
The man smiled and said, "My name is Wang Jingluo." ”
Ning Que looked at Xu Shi on the side of the railing, shook his head and said, "It's a bit vulgar." ”
