"Hundreds of lights burn the sky, and all the people cook Bianjing. One night when the fish and dragon dance in the air, the fire tree and silver flower never sleep. ”

Yujie Avenue, the widest, longest, and most prosperous long street in Bianjing City, is full of restaurants and shops, and the battle between the four countries does not seem to have any impact on this ancient city. Just at night, the whole Bianjing City has been lit up by lights, on the bank of the Falling Yang River, singing and dancing, the Hongchen women in colorful light gauze thin skirts are singing and dancing, the trenches in brocade clothes and costumes are spending a lot of money, all kinds of prosperous scenes, there is quite a sense of "there is wine tonight and drunk tonight".

The whole Bianjing City is located like a chessboard, with 18 long streets connecting each other. Not far from Yujie Avenue, there is a laneway called "Changting Street", which is said to be a street, but in fact it is a narrow alley, and occasionally a few hurried footsteps come, adding to the quietness.

At the end of Changting Street, a mottled bamboo pole with a small flag the size of a pot lid and worn out fell diagonally from the edge of the door, and a large ancient seal "wine" was extended on it.

"A glass of wine floats across his body, and half a year of sorrow is exhausted. ”

On both sides of the shop, a pair of couplets hung loosely. The yellow lights in the store are like beans, and it looks a little mottled.

"Xunxin, you are guarding the door, and no one is allowed to come in. ”

Daochen said, greeted Kong Laosan again, and the two of them stepped into the small shop one after the other.

Now it has been half a month since Kong Laosan came to Bianjing City, and the original serious injuries in the body have gradually stabilized after this period of warm recuperation, perhaps it is the terrifying spiritual power nourishment contained in the blood of the demon baby, Kong Laosan faintly has a feeling of spiritual power induction, and when the injuries in the body are completely improved, I am afraid that he will have to be promoted again.

The old man in front of him looked sixty or seventy years old, wearing a gray robe, a little rickety, anyone who saw the old man at first glance would only have an impression, "thin", skinny and skinny, there was no meat on the body, as if a gust of wind could blow down.

"Mrs. Lu, we meet again. ”

At this moment, the old man was drinking himself in front of the counter, with a sad and compassionate aura all over his body, his cheeks were red, and he was obviously slightly drunk.

Hearing Dao Chen's voice, the old man raised his head, looked towards the door, only nodded, and ignored it.

Seeing this, Kong Laosan touched his nose, chewed the words "Mrs. Lu" in his mouth, and stared at the old man carefully. Daochen on the side seemed to be familiar with the old man's temperament, and he didn't care, so he came to the old man's side by himself, also took two cups, poured wine, greeted Kong Laosan, and drank slowly.

Outside the store, the adjacent Royal Street Avenue was full of people, and the orchestra and bamboo fluttered into the ears, and inside, except for the occasional crackling of fire, only the sound of three people sitting alone drinking in the throat remained.

In the middle of the moon, when the last drop of wine in the pot was drunk, a heavy sigh suddenly came out of the old man's mouth.

"You say, what do you want in one life, just a hundred years?"

The old man's voice was not loud, and he was a little hoarse, but every word was extremely clear.

Hearing this, Dao Chen, who was originally indifferent, frowned and pondered for a moment, put down the wine glass in his hand, and said slowly, "There are thousands of people in the world, and the things they ask for naturally cannot be the same, for me, it is a lifelong pursuit to make the Great Qin rivers and mountains immortal and let the people of Great Qin live and work in peace and contentment." ”

"Hehe, how can there be an eternal dynasty in the world, how can the people be exhausted, it is just a luxury. If a person has no heart, it makes no difference if he lives and dies, and if a country has no heart, then its existence is meaningless......"

The old man said, his dry face suddenly swelled with a strange flush, and his originally somewhat rickety body was straight at this moment, "I, Lu Peng, was born in 618 years of Shunqian, the first in the township test at the age of seven, the first in the county test at the age of eight, and the three yuan in the hospital test, the meeting test, and the palace test, and was called a genius by the world. At the age of fifteen, the Son of Heaven ordered to patrol the Quartet, eradicate no less than 300 corrupt officials and corrupt officials, clean up countless grievances in the people's livelihood, and train elite soldiers to kill more than 60,000 bandits and robbers. Before the weak crown, he had already sealed the marquis and worshiped the prime minister, purged the dynasty, and eliminated the traitors, all he did was to return the world to a bright and prosperous world. In 658 years, the new emperor ascended the throne, discarding the "Thirty-two Policies for Dingguo", and regarded the old man as a powerful minister, wanting to get rid of it quickly, reusing traitorous ministers, eradicating dissidents, and the people were not able to make a living. Now, the country will not be a country, what is the meaning of everything I have done in this life?"

At this moment, Mrs. Lu, who was originally rickety, seemed to have changed people, a vast and pathetic mood diffused all around, and in his shriveled eyes, a little wetness flashed faintly, and he was able to carry the shoulders of the country, and at this moment, he could no longer carry this dynastic mansion.

"Elder Lu, if you are willing to return to Great Qin with me, I can assure Elder Lu that the phase of Great Qin will always belong to Elder Lu only!"

Daochen got up and saluted respectfully, his voice unprecedentedly solemn.

"Alas, you go, born in the next week, this is fate. In this life, I am unlucky, my ability is low, I have a heart to help the world and save the people, and I am too tired to live...... If there is an afterlife, the old man would rather be a ruthless and unrighteous person, no longer bound by the morality in his heart, no longer trapped by love, and live a lifetime, without worrying or suffering......"

Mrs. Lu said, shook his head, and waved his hand again, obviously not wanting to say more.

Hearing this, Dao Chen slowly closed his eyes, as if he was thinking about something. Kong Laosan licked his lips, for some reason, there was a faint trace of bitterness in his heart, his previous life, how could he not be the "ruthless and unrighteous" person in the old man's mouth? Unfortunately, he lived like a walking corpse all his life, and it was not until the end, after saving the girl from under the speeding wheel, that he found a trace of the meaning of his life!

"Old Lu, you were born in the Hou Zhou, and you are fortunate to be in the Hou Zhou. I, Daqin, will always open the door for you!"

Daochen said, bowed respectfully, left a white jade waist plate on his body, and turned to leave.

At this moment, it is almost midnight, there are not many pedestrians on the road, and on both sides of the street, in some exquisitely decorated attics, occasionally there are a few drunken shouting lingering sounds, giving people infinite reverie.

"Brother Kong, the matter here is over, we should also say goodbye and leave, and when we return to Daqin, I will let Xunxin go to Qinglingmen, you can rest assured." ”

After being silent for a long time, Dao Chen sighed softly, stopped, turned around, and spoke softly.

Hearing this, Kong Laosan nodded, and after saying that he was serious, the two south and one north parted ways.

It was late at night, and on the empty street, Kong Laosan's whole person was like a wandering spirit, walking aimlessly, thinking about what Mrs. Lu had just said. In the ordinary tone, there is a kind of helplessness from the bottom of the heart, a kind of grief for the empire, and a heart that is beyond his power.

"In the next life, I wish to be a ruthless and unrighteous person......"

Slowly chewing this sentence in his mouth, unconsciously, he had come to the depths of Bianjing, at this moment, Kong Laosan seemed to catch a glimpse of something in the corner of his eyes, and his originally scattered thoughts instantly returned, and his face showed a look of surprise, but for a moment, his face became extremely serious, and after thinking about it, he showed his body and chased towards a corner of the city.

Hundreds of zhang away, a man in a bloody robe fled quickly towards the outside of the city, as if he had used some unknown martial arts, the speed was extremely fast, only a few dodges, had escaped from the end of sight, behind him, Kong Laosan hung far away, his face was full of puzzlement, faintly revealing two points of worry.

About two hours later, the two of them had escaped from the city thousands of feet away, and the blood-robed man who was originally galloping quickly suddenly stopped, his arms around his chest, like a javelin stuck in the earth, and his back figure, even more hazy under the moonlight.

Seeing this, Kong Laosan frowned, his figure disappeared in the treetops, and the spiritual light in his eyes flickered, as if he wanted to use the spiritual eye technique to investigate, but the blood-robed man was covered in blood like a pillar, and he couldn't detect the slightest news.

"If the benefactor remembers my words, why don't you come out and get together?"

After a full cup of tea, the voice of the blood-robed man suddenly came from afar, hoarse and harsh, like the sound of gold and stone grinding.

Hearing this, Kong Laosan's brows furrowed fiercely, and without hesitation, his figure flickered, and he had already come behind the blood-robed man, his eyes were full of puzzlement, and at the same time, there was a hint of worry.

"Why are you here?"
