It was so quiet, and it was clear that the leaves of the ginkgo tree were swaying in the wind, but the sound seemed to be blocked by some invisible barrier.

Under the eaves, the wings of the butterfly fluttered with a faint green light, and through the eyes of the butterfly, there were still people in the distance who held their breath and stared nervously at everything that was coming in front of them - like the end of an era, and the once invincible and strategizing generation of heroes was like a ridiculous dream at this moment.

Gao Chengchuan was calm, his eyes gradually turned from solemn to relaxed, and he closed his eyes and smiled for some reason.

The Governor's Mansion was silent, the guards were deliberately removed, and the spells that had been used to monitor him have quietly changed, so that the voices of the outside world could not penetrate a bit, all of which was just to make himself alone and helpless tonight to perish.

Wrong, was it already wrong from the moment he decided to assist Ming Ze to become emperor?

Although the crown prince Minglu is also a usable talent, but he is too utilitarian and refuses to let go of power easily, the fifth son of the emperor Mingzong has no intention of political disputes, and only likes to travel in the mountains and rivers, the sixth son of the emperor Mingde is indecisive and takes too much care of his family and friends, only the fourth son of the emperor Mingze is the most optimistic one at that time, but he is also the most deviant one, he does have enough to look at the king of the world, and he also has his own unique views on people and things, which was originally deeply loved by the first emperor.

After weighing all kinds of pros and cons, he finally chose to secretly assist Ming Ze, and the ministers in the court who had noses better than dog Turin also quickly stood in line, but in a few years, the first emperor already had the heart to abolish the prince.

However, the accident still happened, Ming Ze was in distress on a way through the Weeping Snow Plateau, and was rescued by the god keeper there, and since then it seems to be a completely different person, not only has he no interest in seizing the throne, but even violates the royal ban and insists on marrying a woman of different races!

This incident made Emperor Minghui at that time very angry, and also made the ministers of the court who had long stood firmly in the camp panic, if Ming Ze really chose to give up the fight for the throne forever to marry a foreign woman, then the political situation they had worked hard for so many years would be completely shattered, and they would even face retaliation and purges from the crown prince Minglu, who negotiated with Ming Ze many times, openly and secretly stated his position, and even threatened to resign, but that person seemed to be confused by ghosts, and he couldn't listen to a word.

That year may be the darkest year in his official career, but people are not as good as heaven, when everyone thought that the fourth prince took the initiative to give up the throne, and the crown prince Minglu could already sit back and wait for the throne, the accident happened again, Wen Yi met the crown prince Minglu during a trip, although she had humbly retreated, but she was still attacked by the most ugly words, Wen Yi was gentle and gentle, but I didn't take this matter to heart, but the maid next to me couldn't say this breath, which caused Mingze to be furious.

This was the turning point where the gears of fate were pushed by an invisible hand in a direction that no one expected.

Gao Chengchuan rubbed his forehead, thinking of these old things, his mood was unexpectedly calmed down a lot, but the blood on his face slowly recovered, and he sighed helplessly.

Cheng Ye Wenyi, defeat also Wen Yi, the interracial woman he never looked down on, but in this way it affected his life.

He still clearly remembers Mingze's face that night, the arrogant fourth son of the emperor came to visit in the snow late at night, standing outside the governor's palace alone with a dim paper lamp, he took off his coat full of snow drops, took off his hat, and revealed his radiant face, his light golden eyes retreated from all forbearance, shining in the middle of the night, and there was an unstoppable smile on the corner of his mouth.

The plan of "killing his father and killing his brother" was originally proposed by Ming Ze himself, he just deliberately helped remove the guards at that time, and the palace master of An Yu, who was transformed by the monster Earth Binding Spirit, also helped him cover the eye of the sun god.

Overnight, the Feiyuan Continent ushered in a new emperor, Ming Ze ascended the throne, and he finally reached the pinnacle of his career, becoming an existence above ten thousand people under one person.

After the peak, the best realm will fall, and the joy of bliss will not last long.

Gao Chengchuan lost his mind slightly, and the Ming Ze that floated in his mind a moment ago perfectly overlapped with the Ming River who fell from the top of the temple that day and landed safely in front of him.

He knew from the beginning that the crown prince Mingxi had a heart for himself, and he had been secretly mediating various forces to contain the crown prince, but unfortunately it backfired after all, he thought that this time Mingxi took the initiative to make Mingze completely abandon him, so that he could choose a more obedient one from other princes for his own use, who would have thought that this was just a conspiracy by the Heavenly Realm to try to destroy Feiyuan, and Mingze, who has always been scheming, really sought the last ray of life for his people in this desperate situation.

Gao Chengchuan was stunned for a moment, if Ming Ze hadn't anticipated the conspiracy of the Heavenly Realm in advance this time, now Feiyuan is only afraid that it has been destroyed, and the rise and fall of the world and the struggle for power and power, is this the biggest difference between the king and the minister?

He involuntarily swept around, chuckling in his heart - this scene was very similar to the scene of the night when Ming Ze forced the palace, there was no one around, and the magic barrier blocked everything. It is said that there is no reincarnation in Feiyuan, and death is the end of everything, but time flies, and everything back then has returned to him in this way!

Gao Chengchuan finally raised his eyes to look directly at the young soldier in front of him, and his body was shocked, this person is now like himself back then, standing at the top, invincible.

"Heh......" After a long time, it was Gao Chengchuan who was the first to laugh, and he whispered in a hoarse voice, "Will Pavilion Master Xiao really be used to kill people with such a simple knife?"

Xiao Qianye habitually turned the sword spirit, raised his eyebrows, and replied lightly: "Does Governor Gao think that he will really die from such a simple murder plan with a knife?"

The two exchanged glances calmly, and the high-ranking officials of the imperial capital, who had always been-for-tat, smiled at the same time at the same time.

Gao Chengchuan grabbed his broken arm, although he just stood calmly, he felt that his body was exhausted, and sighed: "Is there a saying in the Central Plains that 'the king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die'? Ah Zheng and Siniang want to kill me with your hands, and it just so happens that Your Majesty is also waiting for this rare opportunity to get rid of me, and the Lord of Xiao Pavilion himself must also want me to die, it seems that I will not be able to escape this catastrophe tonight no matter what." ”

"But Governor Van Gogh usually keeps a line in his life, and he wouldn't end up like this today. Xiao Qianye sighed softly, looked down at the sword spirit in his hand, felt that something strange was about to move in his heart, and continued, "If Gao Shuman is still alive, he should rush over to protect you, if the troops stationed in the capital are not corrupted by Gu ants, then the governor who holds the power of the forbidden army at the moment will not be alone, if you have a trace of favor for the subordinates of the dark department, they will not rather die than frame you, Governor Gao, there is a saying in the Central Plains, called 'Frozen three feet, not a day's cold'." ”

Gao Chengchuan was silent for a while, not knowing what he was thinking, but the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually became helpless and desolate.

Xiao Qianye pressed the sword spirit, his eyes were bright, looking at the black puppet worm in his palm, puzzled: "Although you have been abolished from your cultivation, it should be easy to pinch the puppet worm in your hand, why did Governor Gao hesitate?"

"Oh...... Do you care about this?" Gao Chengchuan smiled unexpectedly, he didn't expect that the other party would care about such an inconsequential thing at this time, he played with the puppet worm, and the murderous aura floated in his heart, "Indeed, I wanted to pull him to his death for a moment, but I was curious, this is the only time I was betrayed, and I was given a fatal blow by my most trusted subordinate, I thought I would die on the battlefield, or die in a coup d'état, but I never expected that I would die in the betrayal of a foreign race." ”

Gao Chengchuan was in a trance, not realizing that there was an expectant smile on his face, and continued: "If I die, the puppet worm will also die, this kind of thing was originally specially cultivated by the King of Water Prison, and it can only be planted on one host in his life, even if he takes back this puppet worm, he can't continue to feed in other people's bodies, no wonder he wants to take a lot of trouble to use you, if I guess correctly, he wants to try that kind of frozen swordsmanship, right?"

He paused, he looked at the head of Tai Shougong on the ginkgo tree, and suddenly sighed, not knowing who he was talking to: "Tai Shougong is the grandfather of the Lord of Xiao Pavilion, if you want to help the person who killed Tai Shougong deal with me, you must be threatened by something, right?"

Xiao Qianye didn't reply, and the other person in his body sighed deeply and helplessly in his mind.

"Pavilion Master Xiao shouldn't be stupid enough to give this puppet insect back to him, right?" Gao Chengchuan blinked slyly, stroking his right hand, and dragged his tone meaningfully.

"That's nature. Xiao Qianye swept the butterfly under the eaves with his afterglow, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his lips, "With so many pairs of eyes staring, I don't want to make a fuss, I don't think he himself should be self-righteous and think that he can take back that puppet worm, it's just that he was forced to be overly depressed by the Governor, and he wants to withdraw and change to a master." ”

"Lord Ming?" Gao Chengchuan raised his face thoughtfully, and his old face showed a rare expression of expectation, "It's okay, I want to see what will happen to this puppet worm if it falls into Mingxi's hands!"

Xiao Qianye hadn't opened his mouth yet, but he saw that Gao Chengchuan had already turned around and strode towards the room, he hesitated for a moment, and raised his sword to follow.

There was only a dim candle burning in the room, like an old man who had run out of oil, and the Yandi Sword was placed diagonally on the edge of the bed, and the spiral heavy sword that would have shown a golden color in the sunlight revealed a dark red and sensational red in this candlelight.

Gao Chengchuan picked up the purple and gold forbidden army uniform from the hanger and put it on, carefully smoothed the folds of the cuffs and neckline, and pressed the medals on his shoulders and chest smoothly, then turned around and took out a sandalwood order from the cabinet behind him, hung it on his waist, and after sorting out his clothes, the old man leaned over and picked up the Yandi sword, put the candlestick next to the bronze mirror by the window, and smiled at himself who was blurred in the mirror.

Xiao Qianye stood at the door, subconsciously holding his sword spirit, Gao Chengchuan in front of him was like a dying old man who was about to reach his limit, removing the ruthlessness of the senior officials of the imperial capital, and sitting in front of him calmly.

He clearly hated this person, and wanted to cut him under the sword with his own hands countless times, but when this moment really came, he stayed in place inexplicably, his body stiff and unable to move.

It turned out that when the wish was about to be fulfilled, there was not only emotion and joy, but also a kind of emptiness and confusion.

"Pavilion Lord Xiao. Gao Chengchuan smiled, but his eyes were bright, and his mouth was faint and said ill-intentioned blessings, "May you not be betrayed by the most trustworthy person one day." ”

As soon as such words came out, Xiao Qianye's hand clenching the sword spirit shook slightly imperceptibly.

Gao Chengchuan looked at the butterfly outside the window, his expression was indifferent for a moment, and he whispered: "Your Majesty is thoughtful, step by step, and has the demeanor of the first emperor back then, I hope you can also be like the first emperor, turn the tide and save Feiyuan." ”

Through the eyes of the Stygian Butterfly, Ming Xi in the Ink Pavilion pressed the jade wrench in his hand hard, his light golden eyes were bottomless, and his face was as gloomy as iron, but he was still silent.

Gao Chengchuan closed his eyes, and the time of his life flowed quietly in front of him, which also made his expression more and more quiet and calm.

Xiao Qianye stepped in with his sword raised, knowing that he could not hesitate again under the gaze of the Stygian Butterfly, he gave a standard military salute to Gao Chengchuan and whispered: "Governor Gao, offended." ”

Before the words fell, the seven-turn sword style all fell in an instant, like sharp lines cutting the body, and in an instant, the sword qi cut off the candle flame, the white light was hidden in the darkness, and the gold overflowed from the deeper black curtain, Xiao Qianye calmly raised his hand, and after confirming that he was holding the other party's arm, he secretly changed the sword style in his hand, and the sealing ten sword techniques made the cold ice gradually condense on the skin, and after a few seconds, the entire arm was completely frozen!

But he still didn't stop the movement in his hand, after the golden light of the empty sword dissipated, the dazzling white light illuminated the entire room, Gao Chengchuan opened his eyes with a weird smile on his face, waiting for the final blow.

He just glanced at it with his peripheral vision, and just one glance made his whole body tremble namelessly, and he quickly looked away, and the force in his hand continued to increase, directly piercing the opponent's heart.

The soul on the sword spirit shook slightly, and felt that there was really something strange in the heart trying to escape, Xiao Qianye frowned suddenly, turned the hilt of the sword and cut it horizontally and vertically, directly carving the cross scar, and then, the aura in the sword changed, turning into a faint spirit phoenix fire, completely burning the soul melting technique in the heart.

After calmly completing all the movements, Xiao Qianye felt like his body weighed a thousand pounds, and fatigue swept through his body uncontrollably from the bottom of his heart.

"Pavilion Lord Xiao. A familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears, it was Mingxi in the ink pavilion talking to him through the Stygian Butterfly, "It's hard work, leave the rest to my people." ”

The spell that had shrouded the Governor's palace dissipated violently, and a sturdy figure jumped into the room, kneeling on one knee and bowing to him.

"Thank you. Xiao Qianye opened his mouth mechanically and threw the frozen right arm to him, the other party calmly took down the arm, skillfully took out the short knife from his arms, cut off the head directly along Gao Chengchuan's neck, and then ripped off the list on the bed to cover the corpse.

Xiao Qianye watched all this coldly, stood for a long time, and the wind finally blew in from the courtyard, bringing a bloody breath that could not be dispersed, and also making Gao Chengchuan's curse-like words echo repeatedly in his ears.
