The fake capital soon learned about the summons of His Majesty the Emperor to Han Cicada.

Naturally, the summons did not seem strange.

Strangely, it is said that His Majesty personally recognized the identity of Han Cicada and designated him as Huangliang's uncle.

So the cicada is actually not called a cicada, but a cicada?

Jing Zhaoyin, who was planning to go home and pack some things and then take his wife to the courtyard together, heard the news halfway through.

The old man didn't know what he thought, his expression changed suddenly, so he hurriedly turned back again.

Then he bumped into Qi Jingyuan on the path in the front yard of the Hanging Courtyard.

"Where's the chilling cicada?"

Qi Jingyuan looked at Lord Jing Zhaoyin with a strange expression.

"What's the matter, sir, didn't you go home, looking for him?"

Jing Zhaoyin said anxiously: "I just heard them on the road saying that His Majesty is going to summon the cold cicada.....

Qi Jingyuan laughed and said, "It turns out that it's just this matter." ”

Jing Zhaoyin said with some anger: "What is just this matter, you know this summoning ....."

Qi Jingyuan comforted the old man and said, "Don't be impatient, my lord. ”

Jing Zhaoyin said anxiously and angrily: "How can I be a little restless, I have to hurry up and ....."

"He didn't go."

Jing Zhaoyin was stunned for an instant, looked at Qi Jingyuan and said, "No.... Didn't go? ”

Qi Jingyuan laughed softly: "Then he definitely didn't go, he is not a fool." ”

Jing Zhaoyin suddenly figured out a lot of things.

Yes, since the rumors have been released, Your Majesty may not be the real Majesty, so naturally there is a reason not to go.

On the contrary, he recognized the orthodox status of His Majesty's royal family today.

It's just that soon Jing Zhaoyin frowned again.

"It's just that if you don't go like this, the world will inevitably feel that this is cowardice."

Qi Jingyuan said with a smile: "Mr. Fang found a winter cicada, asked the two gentlemen in the courtyard to send it to the palace, and very sincerely brought a message to the emperor, Your Majesty's imperial uncle is here." ”

“......”

This is probably a great humiliation.

Jing Zhaoyin was also relieved.

The courtyard is full of gentlemen and scholars, and sometimes there is really no need to worry too much.

As for the chilling cicada.

The cicada didn't go, but it wasn't in the courtyard either.

Because not long ago, someone knocked on the door of the Hanging Temple, saying that someone was looking for him.

Han Cicada thought to himself, could it be that His Majesty is so calm and humiliated, and he still has to look at the thatched house?

It was only soon learned that it was not His Majesty, but a person who called himself Liu March.

The chilling cicada didn't know why, but when he heard the name, he remembered that he was actually a killer.

Probably because he came to Huangliang, that is, Yun Zhusheng wanted to kill Liu March, and he wanted to kill Yun Zhusheng?

It may also be that everyone is from Huai'an, and when they hear the name, they will remember the identity they had when they were in the north.

The cicada was also a little confused.

It's just that Han Cicada didn't hesitate, and walked out with a big grin.

After all, as a sword cultivator of the Great Dao Realm, he still wouldn't be frightened and suspicious.

Liu March was at the door of a wine shop outside the Hanging Courtyard Street, and he was there looking at the wind and snow with his hands down.

If you hadn't seen it before.

Han Cicada would never believe that this ugly and obscene looking man was the former soldier of Huaidu, and Liu Yueyue, who was quite personable.

The cicada has seen willow twice in Huangliang.

Once by the Willow River, such an ugly-looking man sat there stupidly, as if he had broken the rules of heaven, and was locked there.

And the second time was to go with the goddess to see a certain story in the fake capital.

He was awake at that time.

Just like now.

The cicada walked through the wind and snow, and said very strangely: "Didn't you say that you will see you in the wine shop?" Why did you welcome it out in person? ”

Liu Yue laughed softly: "During the chaos, I did a lot of stupid things, so I was kicked out. ”

The chilling cicada was silent.

Then he said sincerely: "If I had a shop, even if you didn't do anything stupid, I would want to kick you out." ”

Liu March laughed very freely.

Han Cicada glanced at the store, the business of the entire fake capital has not been good recently, because everyone can notice it, and this snowstorm is very strange.

But the business of the liquor store is very good, it is overcrowded, drinking, scolding, and looking around.

There is no open space, and if you want to get in, you have to share a table with people.

However, seeing Liu March honestly shrinking her hands and standing at the door waiting for herself, she probably won't go in and share a table with others.

Han Cicada looked at Liu March and said, "Find a place to sit, or walk around?" ”

This is the practice of meeting old people in a foreign land.

Han Cicada didn't know why Liu March wanted to see him, but in a place like Huangliang, it was rare for Huai'an people to come—there might have been a lot more before, but since Daze became a poisonous miasma and isolated the two places, there were not many of them.

Liu March thought for a while and said, "Then let's go to the river." ”

In this long snowstorm, the bank of the willow river in the fake capital is very quiet.

Han Cicada nodded and said, "Does junior brother drink?" ”

Liu March said softly: "Yes." ”

The last time this ugly-faced man drank was probably when he was in Nanyi City.

Ever since he went to Ozawa, all the stories have changed.

The cicada turned around and went to the liquor store and bought two jugs of wine, which were probably very busy and not hot, so it was just cold wine.

But naturally neither of them cared.

Although it is said that the green ant is newly brewed wine.

But in fact, it has been a long time since the world has made that kind of wine.

Naturally, you don't need to cook it before drinking.

Liu March held the wine jug and walked with the cicadas in the wind and snow.

Huangliang's unique bitter wine is even more rampant in the fake capital.

Liu March took a sip and drank so much that his brows furrowed.

It's been a long time since I've been here, but I'm still unfamiliar with the wine here, as if I'm a newcomer.

The cicada drank very calmly.

He had already drunk a lot, and naturally he had gradually become accustomed to the bitterness of that wine, but he felt that it did have a unique flavor.

The two of them drank and walked, chatting about many things along the way.

Although Han Cicada once had no intersection with Liu March, it was precisely because there was no intersection that when they met in other places, there would be countless topics.

Anything can be pulled for a long time.

From childhood to youth, from southern terroir to northern customs.

Probably they're all outsiders anyway, so what if they spit out quickly?

It's just that when Han Cicada asked a certain question, Liu March still seemed a little dull.

"Why did you suddenly leave Qingtian Dao and go to Huaidu?"

Liu March listened to such a question, but it was rare to show a wry smile.

This is probably a rare regret in the first half of his life.

Liu Yue drank wine while turning her head to look north, and then shook her head.

Han Cicada naturally didn't know about this question, which reminded Liu March of a certain woman in a plain robe.

just looked at Liu March's look, but he didn't continue to ask.

So the atmosphere of those happy conversations stopped here.

The two of them stood melancholy by the wind and snow willow river.

Only then did Han Cicada discover that the current location was the place where he had killed Yun Zhusheng in the first place.

Although Liu March didn't know, he remembered some things in the chaos.

For example, the cold cicada and Yun Zhusheng once glanced at it in a hurry by the willow river.

"The sword intent on that mountain and river Taoist should come from Senior Brother."

Liu March also remembered this incident, looked at the cold cicada on the side and said.

Han Cicada nodded and said calmly: "Chen Qingshan sent out 20,000 guan and asked me to kill that person named Yun Zhusheng." ”

So he followed all the way to Huangliang.

Liu March looked at the cicada for a long time, but he didn't say that Yun Zhusheng didn't die later, and wanted to drag him into the river together.

After looking at it for a long time, he smiled uglyly, but his eyes were sincere.

"I guess you must be very distressed now, how to walk and walk, and become the first emperor of Huangliang."

The cold cicada sighed, leaned against the guardrail of the river bank and shook the wine jug in his hand, and said: "After all, such a thing will be melancholy for anyone to come." ”

Liu March laughed softly: "I thought you would be a little happy after all. ”

"Rejoice? Junior brother, don't be kidding. Han Cicada said softly, "Being the emperor of Huangliang means standing on the opposite side of Kamigawa, will the junior brother be happy about such a thing?" ”

Liu March was silent for a while, and said: "It's true, but in other words, isn't it a good thing to be able to pacify the south for Your Majesty?" ”

Han Cicada raised his eyebrows and looked at Liu March.

"The world says that you Liu March was impressed by the charm of Kamigawa and entered Huaidu, is this really the case?"

Not really, of course.

Liu's previous silence illustrates these things.

But Liu March still said sincerely: "Your Majesty is a competent Your Majesty, isn't it?" ”

The cicada tilted her head and thought for a while, and said, "That's true. ”

This can be seen from Kamigawa's countless revisions and perfections of human law over the past thousand years.

Heavenly Hell was probably the biggest failure of Kamigawa's life.

To this day, the world has not been able to understand why Kamigawa has such an existence in the human world.

"What's more, when I first entered Huaidu, I was naturally not impressed by His Majesty's charm, but I just glanced at it from a distance on His Majesty's birthday, how can I be impressed?" Liu March said softly, "I am impressed by the charm of the world - in Huaidu, I have seen the possibility of many people going in a better direction. ”

Han Cicada looked at the ugly Taoist with the brilliance in his eyes.

I probably really can't understand what kind of belief this is.

But he didn't refute it.

What kind of person Kamigawa is, the world cannot know.

But what kind of person Liu March is, the world can see.

"I think you're starting to look like a lobbyist."

Liu March laughed and said, "Yes." ”

"So that's why you want to see me?"

"That's not all." Liu March looked at the chilling cicada beside her and said softly, "Chatting with the people of my hometown is also one of them." ”

The cicada sighed and said, "It's as if you're going to die." ”

Liu March looked at the wind and snow, but said calmly: "I am indeed going to die." ”

The cicada froze there.

"When I was in the Human Sword Sect, I was killed by Chen Huaifeng with a sword and sent to the River Styx. It was the goddess who intercepted me from the River Styx. I argued with her about something, but probably no one could convince anyone. ”

Liu March said softly.

"There are things she thinks don't make sense, and I think there are."

This Taoist with an ugly face and being scolded in Huangliang stood by the river and thought for a long time before continuing.

"Something like a position, sometimes, is more indestructible than a reason, and that's probably the reason for this story."

"Sometimes you can call it faith."

"I don't believe in gods and ghosts, but I also have faith."

Han Cicada looked at Liu Yue deeply and said, "You don't believe in gods and ghosts, but you believe in Shenhe." ”

"Of course." Probably because the cicada said the reason for Liu Yueyue's belief, the voice of this Taoist also became clear, as if he was writing with a pen, and the last stroke was very wantonly provoked upward.

Han Cicada said slowly: "So what does Senior Brother want to say?" ”

Liu March faces the north, extremely nostalgic and extremely religious.

"After the senior brother ascends the throne as the emperor, he can temporarily live under the goddess, and he can be called Your Majesty, or he can be called the King of Chu."

Liu March looked back at the chilling cicada.

"But after the matter of gods and ghosts has passed, I hope that Senior Brother will take care of the yellow sorghum and return it to our Majesty."

Han Cicada raised his eyebrows, turned to look at the long street of wind and snow, and drank the cold wine in the pot.

"How do you know that I will be able to ascend the throne as emperor in Huangliang?"

Liu Yueyue smiled slightly: "The goddess doesn't care who is the king of Chu, who can be the king of Chu, who is the king of Chu, and the matter of ascending the throne is only between the fake capital and the Hanging Courtyard." ”

The cicada frowned and thought for a long time, and said slowly, "Are you sure?" ”

Liu Yue said softly: "What reason do you think the goddess has to take care of such a thing?" Whether it is you, or the emperor, in the final analysis, it is not the authentic sect of Gu Chu after all, maybe those people of the Gu Chu Xiong clan have already died cleanly under the army of Gongzi Zhiqiu. ”

The chill cicada didn't say anything more.

The story of more than 2,000 years ago is naturally more distant and mysterious than the story of more than 1,000 years.

"But how can the junior brother be sure that the matter of the gods and ghosts will pass? Instead of the independent kingdom of God in the south from now on, it has nothing to do with Huai'an? ”

Liu Yue said calmly: "I believe in the world, and so does my senior brother, isn't it?" ”

Chilling cicadas, naturally, yes.

If not, it wouldn't really be left in Huangliang like this, staying in the Hanging Courtyard, facing the people kneeling in the wind and snow on the street, saying things like taking the torch.

But Han Cicada still said very melancholy: "When Chen Qingshan asked me to kill Yun Zhusheng, I had many ways to let that mountain and river Taoist die in the world, and when a certain spirit witch asked me to kill Liu Chunfeng, although I felt that it was very difficult, it was not impossible, but in the end I just gave up." ”

The cicada looked at the palace in the snowy world, and the goddess of the palace was probably listening to their conversation.

"But junior brother, such a goddess, I don't know how to take the world back from her hands."

The cicada sighed for a long time and lowered its head.

"I'm just, doing and seeing."

Liu March said softly: "I don't know, but is the north in chaos?" ”

Chill said, "No. ”

So Han Cicada understood what Liu March meant.

There has been no turmoil in the north because of the priestess affair.

The two of them stood by the river for a long time.

"So Senior Brother agreed?"

Liu March looked at the cold cicada and asked.

The chill cicada whispered, "There is no point in promising you now. ”

This sword cultivator from the Liuyun Sword Sect, who walked on such a road in a strange fate, said very sincerely.

"I can't guarantee that I will be able to maintain my original intention after I am truly in power. Perhaps I will also be moved by the authority given by the goddess. What's more, when has the junior brother ever seen that after someone wins the throne, he can simply tell the world neatly, you see, in fact, I am an undercover agent, and then return everything? ”

This is the great truth.

Liu March was silent for a while, and said, "That senior brother did his best. ”

The chilling cicada said slowly: "I can really only do my best. ”

Even people like the emperor want to be the emperor for a real time.

Naturally, not to mention people like the cold cicadas, who are already in the upper echelons of the world.

For some people, the human throne may indeed be a piece of shit.

But after all, for most people, no.

It is something that can quickly catalyze all repressed desires.

The two stood quietly by the willow river.

"When will my junior brother die?"

Han Cicada waited until the wine was almost finished, then looked at Liu March and asked.

Liu Yue said softly: "When the power of the Styx in my body is exhausted, Senior Brother asks what is this for?" ”

Han Cicada smiled and said, "I'm just thinking that if my junior brother will die a painful death at that time, he can actually find me." ”

The cicada still does not forget its original intention.

Keep in mind the killer's job.

Naturally, the killer does not have to be the one who pays for the grudge and vendetta in the world.

It can also help the world to be liberated.

Chill has done a lot of this.

At such times, he often charges very cheaply.

Liu March smiled and said, "I don't have the money to pay the bills now, and now I am poorer than Zhang Xiaoyu." ”

Han Cicada said sincerely: "It's okay, I'll buy this order for you." ”

Liu March seemed to be a little moved, but after hesitating for a long time, she said with relief: "Forget it." ”

"Why?"

Liu Yueyue said softly: "The last time I died, it was too hasty, I can see that Chen Huaifeng is also very nervous, so he started too quickly, and I didn't even have time to say something, and I was swallowed by the sword fire." ”

This northern Taoist who came back from the dead and went to death said very calmly: "If there is life, there will be death, the Taoist saint is wise." Moreover, the Hangu Guan Taoist Dictionary once said that this day takes heaven and earth as the furnace and creation as the great ye, which is evil and unacceptable. ”

"Since heaven and earth gave birth to me, it is naturally acceptable to expel me in any way."

Liu March chuckled softly.

"I want to take a good look at the process and watch it again."

Han Cicada sighed and said, "The people of the Daomen are indeed existences with great courage. ”

It's just probably because of this great courage.

Thousands of years ago, the people who pioneered the ancient Dao Gate would die of madness.

Liu March said calmly: "If you don't enter the Tao, you can't know, and the materialist naturally needs to experience the dialectic to know how everything is." What's more, the matter of life and death is not just between sleep. ”

Han Cicada said softly: "It's a pity that my junior brother is dead. ”

"Who wouldn't be sorry to die?"
