Jin Ye was shocked in addition to a cold sweat.

He could feel his clothes soaked with sweat, and it was uncomfortable to feel his clothes sticking to his back coldly......

When he looked up, the shopkeeper looked at him smugly, and there seemed to be a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Two against one, how much should this odds be?"

The shopkeeper said.

"Two against one, no odds. ”

Jin Ye stabilized his mind and said.

"How can there be no odds? No matter how big or small, there will always be odds. ”

The shopkeeper shrugged his shoulders and said.

"To borrow your words, not only will the dead man not be able to shake the sieve cup, but the dead man will not even have a chance to sit at the table. ”

Jin Ye said.

"Self-confidence is a good thing. But if you are overconfident, you will be the opposite. I advise you two to be realistic, especially you!"

The shopkeeper said that, stretched out his hand and pointed at Li Junchang.

No one doesn't want to live in reality.

But the source of all people's sorrow is the gap between reality and ideals.

Even a killer like Li Junchang, who has lived in the shadows for several years, likes to look at the blue sky and moonlight, and will be happy with the beautiful scenery.

When the autumn wind rises.

When night falls.

When the drizzle continues.

Endless imagination of your life, your emotions, and the rest of your time.

Jin Ye is no exception, he is even better than Li Junchang.

Always under the backdrop of this situation, this paragraph flashes in my mind that seems to be full of here, but in fact there is no logic and no nutrition.

Then he would use these words to dissect himself.

But when I turn my head, none of this means anything.

After listening to the store's words, Li Junchang did not retreat or dodge.

His hand slowly approached the hilt of his sword.

"I have something to ask him. ”

This sentence was said to Jin Ye.

Motioned for him not to make a move.

Jin Ye frowned and thought for a while, and finally retreated.

He saw Qing Xueqing shrinking her body, so he stepped forward to comfort her.

"Scared?"

Jin Ye asked.

Qing Xueqing nodded blankly.

"Why did they kill us?"

Qing Xueqing asked.

It took a lot of effort for her to say this.

"Didn't he say that he just wanted money. ”

Jin Ye said.

"But that doesn't make sense!"

Qing Xueqing said indignantly.

She couldn't figure it out.

"Your so-called truth, whether written on paper or spoken out of your mouth, is a few simple sentences, or a simple memorization of lyrics. Or even just a whim. But you feel that this truth is the condensation of your own or the painstaking efforts of your predecessors. ”

Jin Ye said.

Qing Xueqing flashed her big eyes and looked at Jin Ye.

He didn't know what the meaning of his brother suddenly told him this, but Jin Ye just kept his mouth shut and didn't say a word more.

After reaching out and gently patting Qing Xueqing's shoulder, he turned around and looked at Li Junchang.

"I haven't seen it in years, and I haven't heard of it. ”

The shopkeeper looked at Li Junchang's knife and said.

"But...... A family that has been destroyed, since you were very lucky to have been born secretly, you can start a new life with a new face, why do you have to bear such a fierce grudge and work hard for an unwarranted surname?"

The shopkeeper then asked.

"I used to have a lot of dreams, but after that night, I had only one ambition. That's the way to figure out what happened that night, and then make the guilty pay for it with blood. ”

Li Junchang said.

"After taking revenge, can you rebuild the Li family?"

The shopkeeper asked.

"Why can't I?"

Li Junchang asked rhetorically.

"Then what about after you rebuilt the Li family? Do you have no goals? People always like to make some unattainable plans and goals for themselves. But when these plans and goals are actually accomplished, there is only an endless emptiness left. ”

The shopkeeper said.

"Do you just like to enjoy the process and not the result?"

Li Junchang asked.

"Of course not. Like I'm going to kill someone, just for money. Once I had the money, I went back to drinking and gambling. When I lose everything, I feel very empty. But if you can't stop the wine worm in your stomach and the gambling worm in your hand, you can only continue on the road and make money again. ”

The shopkeeper said.

"Then there is no difference between you and me, why bother to preach with words?"

Li Junchang asked.

"It really doesn't make a difference...... But this preacherous problem will definitely not be changed. Just like after the prostitute puts on his pants in the green building, he will always have a few more words to persuade those girls to be good. If you are moved by true feelings, it is better to simply redeem her body. If you just want to be greedy for a while, then it is better to take what you need and leave quietly. After all, there's nothing wrong with this dewy marriage. But people often can't keep their mouths shut. Just like me, I obviously have no capital and no position, but I can't help but talk more. ”

The shopkeeper said.

"You're a killer, and so am I. The mouthy killer not only dies quickly, but also has a hard time getting business. ”

Li Junchang said.

Words are not speculative for more than half a sentence.

Li Junchang is not a man of many words.

The two killers face each other, and the end result, of course, is that only one of them can still stand.

However, Li Junchang did not have the confidence to kill the shopkeeper.

Even if he could, he would never have killed him.

Because this shopkeeper has a breakthrough in the destruction of the Li family fifteen years ago.

If he dies, the truth will become even more distant.

Li Junchang's hand finally tightened the handle of the knife.

Even he doesn't know how many years he has followed the Li family.

But in his hands, it has been fifteen years.

The ink-colored scabbard, because it is worn around the waist all year round, rubs against the belt buckle constantly, revealing a bit of bronze under the ink.

The handle is purple.

Deep purple.

It is said that the darkness of the night is the best camouflage and protection.

But in the dark, the least striking thing is this purple.

The sleeve of Li Junchang's right arm is much longer than that of his left arm.

At this moment, his hand tightened the handle of the knife, but in the eyes of others, it was firmly enclosed by his cuffs.

As for what it was like inside, no one knows.

Li Junchang's hand oozed a layer of sweat slightly.

This layer was sandwiched between his palm and the hilt, and it was a little sticky.

After a moment, Li Junchang had to let go of the handle of the knife and grabbed the sleeve of his shirt that had grown out halfway.

After wiping off the beads of sweat, he held it on the hilt again.

He himself found it strange.

When you first start killing, sweating is a common occurrence.

I constantly sweat profusely, and my stomach will vomit.

When the sweat was exhausted, my stomach was dry.

An irresistible hunger and thirst will come over you.

It's like an invisible and powerful hand, squeezing and kneading his heart no longer stopping.

But if you eat something and drink water.

The sweating and vomiting will start again.

Each time, you have to cycle three times to stop completely.

Later, Li Junchang no longer had any discomfort.

Even if he sometimes kills people and pushes himself into a dying situation, he will not be afraid.

The winner, has the right that does not need to be summarized.

Li Junchang can live until now, so naturally there is no need to be afraid.

And those who lose, even if they want to be afraid, have no chance.

Because they close their eyes forever.

This closed eyes is not sleeping.

When sleeping, people still dream.

In dreams, you can also think.

But this is the end of the long sleep of the dead.

No matter how rushed everything was, it stopped in an instant.

No matter how rushed it is, there is no way.

"Is there a thorn in the hilt of your sword?"

The shopkeeper said with a smile.

Li Junchang shook suddenly.

His right hand is always hidden by his sleeve.

How did he see that he let go of the handle of the knife twice and held it again?

"Don't think about it, I guess. ”

The shopkeeper waved his hand and said.

"You're not a grinder. If you had already held the knife firm, I am afraid that you would have made a move a long time ago. But you have been delaying for so long, and there is only one possibility, that is, your hands have not fully grasped the knife. ”

The shopkeeper said.

"How do you know I'm not a grinder?"

Li Junchang asked.

"Because all of you Li family members are resolute. This is especially true of the person who used this 'close to the end of the world' back then. I don't think you're going to be bad. But it also saves me a lot of time. The knife is fast, and the death is also fast!"

The shopkeeper Ling Ran said.

But he did it on purpose......

is to poke at the pain point in Li Junchang's heart and unravel his scars.

It seems that although this store talks a lot, it is not all nonsense.

Some words, when spoken at a given time, are more lethal than the blade and the blade.

Li Junchang's eyes couldn't stop trembling......

Even his right hand began to tremble......

Trembling is either from excitement or from fear.

But Li Junchang's trembling at the moment is the third category between excitement and fear.

These old things, after fifteen years of precipitation, will not be so exciting anymore.

And he has been a killer for so many years, he has seen all the tragic blood, and he doesn't know what fear is.

When a person treats other people's lives as if they were a mustard, after a long time, he will not take his own life seriously.

Li Junchang is a rare person who cherishes his life among the killers.

After all, he still has a grudge and an ambition on his back.

Revenge is not avenged.

The ambition is not finished.

He can't die.

In any case, you must do everything you can to survive.

It stands to reason that Li Junchang was in a state of turmoil at this time, but it was the best moment for the other party to make a move.

But instead of making a move, the shopkeeper looked at Li Junchang trembling with a full nature.

That look seemed to be admiring the jade body of a beauty.

It's like looking at a peerless treasure.

Jin Ye could tell from the shopkeeper's expression that he seemed to enjoy the process very much.

Rather than using a sword to take a person's name, he is more keen to attack the heart with words and make a person completely collapse.

It's not hard to kill someone.

It's not easy to break a person's mind.

At the last moment, people can often burst out with a strength that they can't even imagine.

It's an instinct that's engraved in the blood and bones.

Even if it does crash sometimes.

That's also the mind and spirit want to be lazy and give yourself a vacation.

It's too much to count.

But Li Junchang's collapse at the moment is extremely untimely.

In any case, his heart and spirit did not collapse at such a life-related moment.

He knows his state very well.

But at this moment, he is like in the quagmire now, the more he struggles, the deeper he falls.

The trembling hand tried to grasp the handle of the knife of the 'near world' 10,000 times, but it was 10,000 times wrong.

Everything became extremely trance-like.

It's there, but every time I reach out, I always miss it.

"I didn't expect the Li family to leave such a backbone descendant......"

Seeing this, the shopkeeper couldn't help but sigh.

Obviously, Li Junchang was only a glimmer away from that collapse, but he was desperately resistant.

Even if this despair had drowned his neck, he had already raised his head high, and he would not admit defeat.

"Hiss......"

Suddenly, there was a grinding sound.

The shopkeepers were also wide-eyed.

Li Junchang actually held the handle of his knife at such a juncture and slowly pulled it out.

"It's amazing......

The store was amazed.

"If you hadn't insisted on doing this, I would have liked you a little!"

The shopkeeper continued.

Li Junchang's eyes were glazed and his teeth were clenched.

'The End of the World' has been held in his hand and has been unsheathed.

But his trembling showed no signs of improvement.

Although Li Junchang is out of the sheath, this seems to have consumed all his strength.

"Brother Li...... What's wrong?"

Qing Xueqing asked.

"He's thinking about ......"

Jin Ye thought about it and could only say so.

Qing Xueqing is still a child in Jin Ye's eyes.

However, her age, experience, and Jin Ye must be no different from a child.

But she's not a.

The stupid person may be prevaricated by Jin Ye's words, but Qing Xueqing will not.

Because she also knows that no one will stop to think about the problem when facing the enemy.

"Thinking about what?"

Qing Xueqing asked with a pout.

He was very dissatisfied with Jin Ye's perfunctory attitude......

"Think about what you can do to get the store to tell everything about fifteen years ago. ”

Jin Ye said.

He was very serious about this.

As if he really thought about it that way.

"The knife in his hand, isn't that the method?"

Qing Xueqing said.

"You also have a knife in your hand, so what do you think you should do?"

Jin Ye asked rhetorically.

Qingxue Qingxiu raised her eyebrows, suddenly pulled out her knife, and in a blink of an eye, it was on Jin Ye's neck.

"If it's me, do it!"

Qing Xueqing said proudly.

Jin Ye had a calm face.

When Wen Qiwen saw Fang Cai's sword flash, Jin Ye didn't even move his eyelids.

"By the way, brother, why didn't you hide. ”

Qing Xueqing reacted and asked.

"Because there's no need to hide. ”

Jin Ye said with a faint smile.

"You think I'm your sister, so I won't kill you?"

Qing Xueqing asked.

"No...... The reason why everyone wants to kill the other. Even married couples will suddenly burst out in the night and stab the person next to the pillow to death with scissors, although you are my sister, if you want to kill me, it is not impossible. ”

Jin Ye said.

Qing Xueqing didn't seem to understand.

But Wen Qiwen on the side narrowed his eyes.

He is well aware of the infighting in the Qingfu.

and his father, Hongzhou Prefecture Tongwen Tingbai even counted the two children of the Da Zhong family, that is, the proprietress of Jin Ye, as the Gongzi faction, and Qing Xueqing and her Xiao Zhong's mother's family as the Madame faction.

Jin Ye has not been in the Qingfu for a long time, and Wen Qiwen doesn't know much about his thoughts.

But Xiao Zhong's family has been deliberately trying to clear all the factions of Gongzi from the Qingfu.

For this reason, I have also looked for Wen Tingbai many times openly and secretly.

Wen Tingbai is also an old fox.

The Qingfu family is dominant, which is not a good thing for the unified government of other states.

Previously, there was also the Li family competing with it to counterbalance.

After the collapse of the Li family, Qingfu became the first gate valve in Hongzhou.

In some respects, the influence is even much greater than that of the state capital.

How can this not make Wen Tingbai worried?

Even if his son and Qing Xueqing have a marriage contract, it can't be done......

Interests should always be placed above personal feelings.

But later, Jin Ye and the proprietress left Qingfu and there was no news.

Qingran is bedridden, and Xiao Zhong's seems to have a monopoly on power.

But there was never a moment of peace in her heart.

Jin Ye and the proprietress of the house, as well as the old people in the Qingfu who were still loyal to Qingran, were like thorns in her heart all the time.

Wen Qiwen felt that Fang Cai Jin Ye's words were a pun.

Although Jin Ye and Qing Xueqing are both children of the same father, their mothers are different, after all, they are separated by a layer of belly.

This layer of interval, which can be said to mean nothing, can also be said to represent everything.

Especially Jin Ye's last sentence "It's not impossible" shocked Wen Qiwen's heart.

His father was wise.

At the beginning, he stood in Qingxueqing's position, and he also blamed his father, why didn't he help.

But now it seems that the grievances in the Qingfu can no longer be reconciled.

The two sides have reached the bottom of the never-ending grind.

But although Wen Qiwen knew all these grievances in the Qingfu, he didn't care.

It can even be said that in the entire Zhenbei King Domain Hongzhou, except for his father's accident, the only one who cares is Qing Xueqing.

If Jin Ye really had murderous intentions towards Qing Xueqing, Wen Qiwen would naturally stand up without hesitation and stand in front of Qing Xueqing.

"Why do you think that my knife is a joke, not a real thing?"

Qing Xueqing continued to ask.

Wen Qiwen looked at Qing Xueqing's simple and green appearance, and the pity in his heart was even more abnormal.

"Because your knife is so clean. ”

Jin Ye said.

Qing Xueqing looked at her knife.

She really didn't understand what the word 'clean' meant.

Then, he looked back at the knives in the hands of the guards of the Qingfu and the soldiers of the state government, and found that they were also bright and clean.

In the end, her gaze fell on Jin Ye's knife again.

Jin Ye's knife was not unsheathed.

But his scabbard was also exceedingly clean.

A person with a clean scabbard will certainly not have a dirty blade.

Jin Ye looked at Qing Xueqing's eyes and knew what she was thinking at the moment, so he pulled out his knife in front of him.

"Brother, isn't your knife also clean!"

Qing Xueqing pointed to Jin Ye's knife and said.

"Clean is not something you look at with your eyes, you come closer and smell it. ”

Jin Ye said.

Then he moved the blade closer to Qing Xueqing's face.

The clear knife light shone on Qing Xueqing's face, and she couldn't open her eyes, so she couldn't help but dodge to the side.

This dodge instead brought the blade closer to the tip of his nose.

The wings of his nose twitched slightly, and a thick stream of blood rushed straight to his head.

Qing Xueqing coughed first, and then felt her stomach tumbling upside down.

Although nothing came out, it still retched with a "wow".

"Qingmei, what's wrong with you!Are you okay?!"

Wen Qiwen asked with concern.

When he was about to hand over the kettle in his hand, he was stopped by Jin Ye.

"Don't drink water, the more you get sick and nauseous. ”

Jin Ye said.

Qing Xueqing hunched her waist and retched a few more times, and then slowly straightened up.

"I'm fine......"

Qing Xueqing said.

At this moment, he looked at Jin Ye's gaze, and he was a little frightened.

Especially the knife in his hand, his eyes no longer dare to look directly......

"Our knives are all piled up with human lives. ”

Only then did Qing Xueqing know what Jin Ye and Li Junchang meant by what they said before.

How many lives do it take for a spotless blade that has been wiped off to retain such a rich blood?

Qing Xueqing couldn't think of it, and he didn't dare to think about it.

Wen Qiwen admired Jin Ye a little more.

His friend is already in danger, but he is always calm and calm.

This kind of bearing, he had only seen in his father.

"Brother, do you want to help him?"

Qing Xueqing asked.

In fact, she just wanted Jin Ye to stay away from her.

"No, I don't. ”

Jin Ye put away the knife and said.

"You seem to have a lot of confidence in this friend!"

Wen Qi Wencha interjected.

"Shortly before that, I just came to fight. I know what he's capable of, and I know how strong he is. Li Junchang is not a person who can be defeated by just a few words!"

Jin Ye said.

There was pride in his tone.

A true friend is always knowing and understanding.

Not only must we be able to understand his sorrows, grievances, and sorrows, but also understand his persistence, stupidity, and stubbornness.

Both are indispensable.

Before Jin Ye could finish his words, Li Junchang's hand stopped trembling.

"I can tell you the whole story of that night!"

The shopkeeper said suddenly.

"Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Li Junchang asked.

His voice was hoarse.

Fang Cai's heart surged, making his throat become a little congested.

But this sentence was still said calmly and peacefully.

There wasn't any lag along the way.

"Because I don't want to do anything with you. ”

The shopkeeper said.

"What do you think it's a pity?"

Li Junchang asked rhetorically.

The shopkeeper smiled lightly, and Li Junchang was obviously right.

The shopkeeper didn't want to do anything with him, so he didn't want to kill him.

Doing what you don't want to do is not only a waste, but also a pity.

"With this sentence alone, you and I can be considered friends!"

The shopkeeper said.

"You and I will always be enemies. However, it cannot be denied that sometimes the understanding between enemies is indeed deeper than that between friends. ”

Li Junchang said.

The shopkeeper sighed heavily.

"I've never had a hard time with money, though. But this business really gave me a bit of a headache......"

Li Junchang was silent.

There had never been a moment in his heart that was more determined than it had been.

There is only a knife away from the truth of fifteen years ago.

As the name of his sword suggests.

The end of the world is just a stone's throw away.

Close is the end of the world, if the end of the world is close at hand.

But the end of the world may be at your feet, in your heart.

The distance is very short, and it may take a lifetime to complete it.
