Jane said: "This is to give the mother face." ”

Ning Que said: "The matter involves the academy, and the queen also has to call me a little uncle, I don't have to give her face." ”

Jian looked at him quietly and asked, "Do you really want to kill Li Yu?"

Ning Que didn't think about it, and said, "Let her die is the best choice." ”

"Why?" asked Jane.

Ning Que explained: "Kill Li Huiyuan, and then kill Li Yu, even if the ministers in the court still have two hearts, who can they be loyal to? In the eyes of many people, this war made it inconvenient for the imperial court and the academy to be ruthless to these people, but if you think about it from another angle, after killing Li Yu, the pressure of the war and the name of righteousness will become the pressure of these ministers. ”

After listening to his words, Jane sighed and said: "I used to think that you were very similar to your little uncle, but later you learned his Haoran Qi, and you thought that the two of you were more alike, and now I want to understand that you are two people after all." ”

Ning Que said: "I can't catch up with Uncle Xiao in my life, but I believe that I can do better than him in some things, such as these situations that Datang is facing now." ”

Jane smiled slightly and said, "So he's dead." ”

Ning Que said calmly: "I'm not afraid of death, but I want Datang and Academy to live." ”

Jane looked at him, her eyes showed pity, and she stroked her chest calmly and said, "But have you ever thought that although the prince has a good relationship with Xia, she is also surnamed Li?"

Hearing this name, Ning Que remembered a lot of things. For example, the thick blood that could not be dissolved in the general's mansion said: "In my eyes, he is dead, but he needs the right time." ”

Jane said, "Your calmness will make people feel terrified. ”

Ning Que no longer discussed this matter and asked, "I still want to know why the queen mother opposes me killing Li Yu, she shouldn't be the kind of person who can be influenced by petty feelings." ”

"I don't really know what Summer was thinking. ”

Jane looked out the window, and it was already dark. A bright moon hung on the city wall, and her face showed a confused expression, and she asked, "Is the master really gone?"

Ning Que stood up. walked to the window and looked at the bright moon, and said, "Who knows?"

After a pause, he continued, "Except for him and Haotian. Who else knows...... After the Chinese New Year, Ning Que stayed in Chang'an City, not because of the inconvenience of going back and forth to the academy, but because of some more important reasons, and because he was ready to wait for the arrival of the Xiling Temple mission.

As spring approached, the temple mission finally arrived in Chang'an City, and under the complicated gaze of the Tang people, the convoy of the mission drove through Suzaku Street and entered the Rite Hotel.

The composition of the envoys who came to negotiate was somewhat complicated, and the chief envoy was the director of the Heavenly Oracle Academy of the Xiling Temple. The two deputies are a prince of the Southern Jin Dynasty and the prime minister of the Yan Kingdom, which is a little funny to say, but what is really not funny is that the thrones of the Southern Jin Dynasty and the Yan Kingdom are still empty.

The war came to an end for the time being, and the armies of the two routes were still in the north and south of the Tang Kingdom, and the tension was difficult to fade. So the negotiations between the two sides began quickly with the arrival of the mission, and the learned men of the Tang Dynasty court and the members of the Xiling Temple mission, sitting on both sides of the long table, began to wield lip guns and tongue swords as expected.

Negotiations naturally need to be discussed, but arguments based on reason are often judged not by who is more reasonable, but by who is more powerful. The negotiation between the two sides in the side hall of the palace is only one aspect, and the most important or critical negotiation venue is in another place in Chang'an City, where there is a rippling lake.

Before the battle with Guan Zhu, Ning Que walked in the streets and alleys with a knife, cutting off the traces left by Sangsang, and the house of Yanming Lake naturally could not be avoided, but fortunately, the damage was not too strict, and it didn't take long to repair, and he has been living here in the days after the New Year.

The thick snow on Yanming Lake has long since melted, and the ice has become a very thin mirror, and then it has broken one after another, and the wind has blown to the shore of the lake to pile up snow crisp rolls, revealing the clear water of the lake.

Ning Que stood on the shore of the lake, stretched out his hand to pull away the cold willow branches that had not yet pulled out the green shoots, looked at the faintly visible thin green stems in the water, and naturally remembered the picture of him and Sang Sang rowing a boat to plant lotus flowers on the lake that summer.

The clouds on the lake are coming, there is no spring thunder, and there are raindrops falling silently, which is the first spring rain in Chang'an City this year, which naturally brings some cold.

Ning Que walked back to the house, took a towel to wipe the rain off his body, and heard a knock at the door at this time.

He walked to the courtyard gate, listened to the knock on the door, was silent for a moment, and opened the door.

The rain kept falling, wetting all his clothes and the woman outside the door.

Ning Que looked at her and felt as if he had returned to that summer.

She didn't wear a cyan robe, she wore a blood-colored robe of the Judgment God, and her black hair didn't look wolf as wet as it had been back then, because she wore a luxurious crown.

But she's still that beautiful.

Ning Que's eyes were very calm, and when she saw the two people behind her, they were still calm

Liu Yiqing of the Sword Pavilion, and Xie Chengyun, who is now an official of the Southern Jin Dynasty Rite Department.

Liu Yiqing and Xie Chengyun saluted him and were also very calm.

Liu Yiqing's eyes were cut by Ning Que, Xie Chengyun and him met in the academy, but with the passage of time, there was no need to remember many things at this time.

The courtyard door slowly closed, shutting out the people who were with him.

Ye Hongyu walked into the house with Ning Que...... Ning Que and Ye Hongyu sat under the rain corridor of the plum garden, watching the spring rain falling from the sky in a daze, and at the other end of the courtyard wall in the south, there was a faint sound of rain falling into Yanming Lake.

"Now that I think about it, those days when I lived here were really peaceful. ”

Ye Hongyu stretched out his hand to catch the rain falling along the corridor and said, "It's just that the world is changeable, and peace will not last long." ”

Ning Que watched the rain splash in her white jade-like palm, and said, "After becoming the Grand Priest of the Adjudication, what you say is less and less like what a person says. ”

Ye Hongyu withdrew his hand. looked at him and said, "Are you provoking this seat?"

"You're big. Ning Que handed over the towel and said, "It's better to speak human words in front of me." ”

He and Ye Hongyu have known each other in the wasteland for a long time, they have killed each other, they have never loved each other, they have lived together, and they have never been together. From the very beginning, they knew that one day they would kill each other. And they've already tried it many times.

Interestingly, probably because they know this very well, when the two of them get along. On the contrary, it looks particularly calm, as if there is a fresh breeze in the middle, which is refreshing.

Ning Que asked, "The Guan Lord and the Sect Master are still alive, what you say can be counted?"

Ye Hongyu said: "Since I came to Chang'an City, what I said can naturally be counted, the problem is that the academy has never been involved in government affairs, how much influence do you have on the people in Chang'an City?"

Ning Que said: "The Demon Sect Sect Master card is on me, you know the queen's background, so don't doubt it." ”

Ye Hongyu said: "The price paid by the Tang Kingdom will be very large, and it is impossible for that Demon Sect Demon Girl to suppress all the opposing opinions in the court and the opposition. So what's the point of this agreement?"

Ning Que said: "First of all, I don't think we will suffer too much loss in this agreement, and secondly, as for the effectiveness and execution of the agreement, this is something that the academy needs to consider, and it does not need to be cared about by the temple." ”

Ye Hongyu said: "If there is no effect, there is no point in negotiation. ”

Ning Que said: "The negotiation itself is where the meaning lies. ”

Ye Hongyu said: "This sentence is boring and boring. It's ridiculous that you've become so lifeless and stale because of a woman. ”

Ning Que's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "Haotian Dao Sect dominates the world, and there are countless strong people. Isn't it even more ridiculous to ask a woman like you to come to Chang'an City for an adventure in the end?"

Ye Hongyu said: "What's so dangerous about Chang'an City for me?"

Ning Que said, "I can kill you at any time now." ”

Ye Hongyu said: "In the swamp, if it weren't for that group of wild horses, you would have been killed by me." ”

Ning Que said: "This is not a mud field in the wasteland, this is Chang'an City. ”

Ye Hongyu's eyes were slightly cold, and he said, "How?"

Ning Que said calmly: "I am invincible in Chang'an, even if I am the master, I will be slashed by me, I don't think you have any chance to defeat me." ”

Ye Hongyu said: "But don't forget jì, after all, no one can beat Haotian." ”

Ning Que wanted to say that he had bullied Haotian very badly in the snow hut by the hot sea in the cold region of the extreme north, but he still didn't say it after all, because this was a matter between him and Sangsang and his wife, and it had nothing to do with anyone.

"Fighting with the sky is endlessly fun. ”

He remembered the teacher's words, and suddenly had a new understanding, and couldn't help laughing.

Ye Hongyu said: "If the master and his old man can really defeat Haotian, he will not become that bright moon, but will become a new Haotian." ”

Ning Que said: "This speculation seems to be correct, but it is actually completely wrong, because you don't understand what kind of person the teacher is, he has no interest in becoming a heavenly dome and covering the head of each of us, he is more willing to incarnate the light and sprinkle it on the world, and feel the joys and sorrows here." ”

This conversation in the spring rain is not a temptation, it is to determine the tone of the negotiation, not to guess the bottom line of the other party, but to know what the other party wants in the end, and to see where the rain will eventually flow.

Since some of the spring rain fell into Yanming Lake, and some seeped into the soil under the plum bushes, it seems that there is no way to gather in one place in a short period of time, so it is necessary to talk about some more specific things.

At this moment, Ning Que raised his hands and stretched them out to her sideburns, as if to caress her cheeks.

Ye Hongyu didn't seem to see his hand, and he didn't react

Ning Que asked, "Don't you feel heavy now?"

Ye Hongyu said: "Naturally, it's still heavy, but no one helps to take it." ”

Ning Que took the divine crown off her head and said, "Hurry up and find another person." ”

Ye Hongyu's slightly wet black hair scattered on the robe of the god, which was even more beautiful.

She looked at Ning Que and said, "Where can I find someone as shameless as you......
