The rain fell from the sky, the pedestrians on the street avoided one after another, and those tourists from other counties also reluctantly left, leaving Ning Que alone to stand in front of the Suzaku portrait and be silent.

He opened the big black umbrella, and the raindrops fell on the tight umbrella surface, making a dull sound.

He looked at the portrait of Suzaku in front of the umbrella that was gradually wet by the rain, and remembered many things.

Needless to mention the past, today in the palace, the queen mother was shocked and half-squatted and saluted, and Xu Shi in the general's mansion made him feel very troublesome, especially Xu Shi's attitude, which made him very uncomfortable.

This discomfort is not anger, but a feeling of loss, because he was also once a Tang Dynasty soldier, just like his comrades in Weicheng, he regarded this first person in the Tang Dynasty military as an idol, and he would be in awe when he mentioned the name of the general of Zhenguo when he drank and chatted. He remembers a certain statement about spiritual needs, he likes to chase horses and grasslands with his comrades-in-arms in Weicheng, born and die, he likes to be respected, discussed and even feared by the people in Chang'an City, and he likes the senior brothers and sisters in the mountains behind the academy, these are all very beautiful spiritual needs.

So he wants to be a good person, and wants to be appreciated by a military minister like Xu Shi, instead of being cautious or even wanting to get rid of him quickly, but unfortunately, things in the world can not be as good as they should be.

The spring rain is getting bigger and bigger, and the lingering mess is just like Ning Que's mood at this time.

The solemn and beautiful portrait of the Suzaku is wet from the rain, and the eyes that are not angry but mighty, as if they have been given some kind of life, suddenly vivid.

Ordinary people simply cannot perceive the change in the Suzaku portrait.

Ning Que felt it clearly, and he looked at the eyes of the Suzaku portrait...... Feeling the condensation of the stone line on the ground, it was clear what was happening.

When he first entered Chang'an City in the second year, he stood in the Vermilion Bird with Sangsang, and the paint body that had been frightened by the ancient meaning of this portrait was cold and stiff.

Later, he knew that this Vermilion Bird Portrait was a Dao rune, which could automatically sense the enemies who invaded Chang'an City, and could cast a full blow that was close to the power of the peak powerhouse.

At this time, the enemy sensed by the Suzaku portrait was, of course, the big black umbrella that Ning Que was holding in his hand.

With the current cultivation realm of Ning Que, it is naturally impossible to resist the breath of the Suzaku Statue, but he is standing in the spring rain...... His expression was unusually calm and peaceful.

Not because he had a big black umbrella in his hand.

but because he had a pestle in his arms.

Ning Que reached into his arms with his left hand, holding the array eye pestle wrapped in cloth...... Looking at the portrait of the Vermilion Bird with the rising power of the umbrella wave, he said: "Now is not the past, do you think that now I will still be scared by you or become a crane in winter? I am your master now, what can you do with me?"

The owner of the Vermilion Bird Rune cannot be self-appointed...... It was passed on to him by Master Yan Se, and then confirmed by the Tang Dynasty Emperor, and finally determined by the pestle.

The portrait of the Suzaku in the rain sensed the familiar but long-lost ghost coming from under the black umbrella

A clear whistle sounded in Ning Que's sea of knowledge, the sound was sharp and high-pitched, mixed with a little doubt, a little unwilling...... A little sad and a little indifferent.

The rain kept washing, and the aura of killing from ancient times in the Suzaku portrait gradually faded away, until finally it fell silent and became an ordinary stone painting.

Ning Que knew that this meant that the Suzaku portrait recognized his identity.

The sadness in the roar in the sea of knowledge before was Suzaku's pursuit of his master Yan Se.

Ning Que stood in the rain...... Holding the handle of the umbrella in his right hand and the pestle of the Array of Shocking Array in his left hand, he felt two completely different touches...... Figured out something.

Suzaku confessed to the Lord in the spring rain, representing the great array of Chang'an City...... Since then, it has become his responsibility, and it also represents the safety of Datang, and it has become a responsibility on his shoulders since then.

He loves the land, he likes the country, he likes the peaceful and joyful life, he likes the people who live here, so he is willing to take on this responsibility.

He is willing to use anything other than his life to maintain the peace of Datang, but this does not mean that he will lose his life because of this.

The left hand holds the array eye pestle, which is to hold the future of the Tang Dynasty.

Holding a black umbrella in his right hand is holding his own life.

Shake both hands and clench both hands.

If the two are in conflict and entangled, lingering like the spring rain at this time, then what he needs to do is to smash all the entanglements and dissatisfaction like the spring rain that cut through the waves with a knife like he first climbed the old library, and smash all the entanglements and dissatisfaction like the master's dull stick on the terrace of the Songhe Tower.

The Pine Crane Tower terrace ...... At night, he had such a conversation with his master.

"The people I want to kill are very powerful, high-powered, and have backgrounds that even I find tricky. ”

"You don't look like you're a person with no status. ”

"Because my teacher was amazing, of course I was amazing. Now, even compared to the giant I want to kill, the status between us can be said to be similar. ”

"Then what are you still worried about? If you want to kill, you will find an opportunity to kill. ”

"My teacher seems to be very willing for us students to be unreasonable, but in fact, he is a dead, brainy, very reasonable, always saying that Tang Law is the first, Tang Law is the first, how can it be unreasonable?"

"What does unreasonableness have to do with Tang Law? Don't follow crooked ways...... Can't you kill people?"

At that time, Ning Que thought that the object he was talking to was an ordinary rich man in Chang'an City, but now that he thinks that these words came from the teacher's mouth, these words naturally have a new meaning.

If you don't follow the crooked and evil ways, can't you kill people? If you don't follow the crooked and evil ways, can't you kill Xiahou?

Ning Que smiled, put away the big black umbrella and tied it back to his back, and just like that, he crashed headlong into the curtain-like spring rain.

He went to the Red Sleeve Move, met with Jane, talked about the conversation with the queen mother in the palace, and before leaving, he went around to the outside of the bathhouse to take a look, where he had killed the imperial history Zhang Yiqi.

Then he went to the small courtyard of Nancheng Lake Ether, walked under the verdant bamboo forest, and found that the tea master Yan Suqing was killed by himself...... "The upper courtyard has already changed owners."

He went to the blacksmith workshop in Dongcheng, walked to the door of the backyard, and imagined the picture of Chen Zixian, who was old at that time, falling under his knife, and was silent.

"Yi Tao, I killed you by namelessness, and now my identity and status are different, if I don't continue to live for the sake of stability and prosperity in the future, then wouldn't you die too much?"

The rain gradually lightened, and Ning Que was about to go back to Lao Bizhai but stopped at the entrance of Lin47 Lane, turned to Chunxi Road, and entered a teahouse.

Xu Shi had already guessed the connection between him and those murders, and it was even possible to link these murders with the general's mansion extermination case back then, even if he hadn't been connected to this matter for the time being, he would definitely start to protect some people, some people he wanted to kill.

In addition to General Xiahou's "list of oil paper left by Heizi, there are still people alive, and if Ning Que wants to kill the other party, he must compete with the imperial court for time.

Sitting on the second floor of the teahouse, looking at the dripping raindrops outside the fence, he thought carefully about the steps and made sure that it would not cause too much trouble, so he began to prepare.

He asked the shopkeeper for pen and paper, and after a little thought, he began to write quickly, hastily wrote a letter, and then sealed it, ready for the carriage and horse company to deliver the letter to the college.

At this moment, he suddenly saw a familiar figure.

The man also saw him and said in surprise: "Ning Que, why are you here?"

Ning Que sneered and said, "Pray Youxian, you didn't go to the academy today, be careful to let the old man of your family know, and directly cut off your money." ”

Now Ning Que's identity and status are already very different from the beginning, but Zhi Youxian is a luxurious and cheerful character, and he has the habitual thinking of the Tang people who are not afraid of the powerful, so he happily came over and said: "If you are afraid of breaking the money, you can just write me a winning book, and if you want to go to the red sleeve move, with your current reputation, do you want this son to invite you again?" Of course, you invite me." ”

Zhi Youxian's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, anyway, seeing that you have nothing to do in the teahouse, and you didn't bring that little maid, why don't we go to the red sleeves?"

Ning Que shook his head and said, "I have something to do today." ”

Suddenly, he thought about something, handed over the letter on the table, and asked, "There is a letter to be sent to the mountain behind the academy, can I trouble you to take a trip." ”

Zhi Youxian said with a bitter face: "You don't know, I am most tired of going to the academy. ”

Ning Que said: "A book post." ”

"Zhongtang?" said Yu Xian with great joy.

Ning Que scolded with a smile: "What you think is quite beautiful." ”

When Yuxian took the letter, his eyes suddenly rolled.

Ning Que didn't know what he was thinking, and said, "Don't think about stealing this letter paper and selling it for money, otherwise if you don't write the painting book, I will go to your house to make trouble." ”

"Calligraphy appreciation, where can I say steal, even if I steal, where is willing to sell it for money? Of course, I want to take it home to my vassal and elegant father. ”

was exposed by Ning Que's thoughts, and when Youxian was not ashamed, he said with a smile.

Ning Que Zhengse said: "This letter is very important, don't dare to mistake me." ”

Waiting for Youxian to say: "Then I'll go here, by the way, after a while, there will be a meeting with my classmates in Bingshe, but I forgot about it, Jin Wucai asked me to ask you if you want to go." ”

"If you have time, go there. ”

Ning Que didn't say anything to death.

When Youxian turned around and walked outside the teahouse, he suddenly thought of something and said, "What are you going to do?"

Ning Que smiled and said, "I'm going to kill someone, do you want to follow and watch the excitement?"

When Yuxian felt bored, he waved his hand and staggered down the stairs.

Ning Que drank all the residual tea on the table, looked out of the slaughter, watched You Xian get into the carriage, carefully calculated the time, but did not rush to leave, but asked for a new pot of tea.

He drank slowly in the teahouse.

Spring rain was pouring down outside the building.

The sky over Chang'an City was covered with rain clouds, and the sun was not visible, only the gradually dimming skylight, indicating that twilight was approaching.

Ning Que took out a piece of broken silver, put it on the table, and left the teahouse.

With the surprise of Dr. Tea behind him, he walked towards the West City Gate.

He hadn't been joking with Yeto-hyun before.

He's really going to kill people.
