By the end of this meeting, it was already late at night.

Yun Xun sat alone on the long table in silence, and fell into deep thought alone.

Ning Yi, Shen Yuanjun, and Qianqi, the three of them walked in the snowy night of Tiandu, and the Intelligence Department had already arranged the accommodation of the guests from the General's Mansion.

The wind and snow are vast.

"Xiao Ning. ”

Shen Yuanjun rarely called Ning Yi such an "intimate" title, which made Ning Yi a little dazed and looked at his senior brother in a daze.

"You're more powerful than I thought. ”

Shen Yuanjun opened his mouth in a low voice and said, "Urle Plateau...... It's the result of the layout when the demon clan was in the world, and you have already thought about the deployment after you come back?"

Ning Yi smiled a little embarrassedly and said frankly: "It's not ...... I didn't think so much about the grassland, and there is a lot of luck in getting to where I am today. ”

He roughly talked about the origin of the mask, and hid the secret that could not be said.

In fact, the content of this negotiation is very simple.

After Ning Yi revealed the mask of the Lionheart King and the identity of the Princess, Yun Xun promised Ning Yi that he would go all out to support Ning Yi as the head of the Great Priesthood.

If it is said that the meeting of the two people in Lingshan is just a preliminary familiarity, understanding, and building trust.

This time, then, it's a real and reliable alliance.

Yun Xun made his choice.

Ning Yi also gave him a way out, if the prince really wanted to settle accounts with him, Ning Yi would go through the channel of the General's Mansion and send Yun Xun out of the Great Sui.

If this "scorching tide" ends, Yun Xun is still willing to stay in Dasui, and Ning Yi also respects his wishes...... Of course, this possibility is very small, everyone is not stupid, the prince's attitude towards the Intelligence Department is very clear, and now there is only one step left to show the knife.

Even if the Intelligence Department is not abolished, there will be a major blood change.

The days when Yun Xun really has "real power" are numbered.

"Ning Yi, smuggling armaments and supplies abroad, and opening up a secret passage to the grassland...... Each of these acts is a grave sin against the iron law. Qianqijun suddenly lowered his voice and said quietly, "The General's Mansion is now on the same level as the sky, you really don't treat yourself as an outsider, do these things for you, senior brother has to carry the cauldron." ”

Ning Yi was silent for a moment, and then asked softly: "Mr. Pei Min is stationed in the north, has he ever violated the laws of the Great Sui for so many years?"

Qianqijun was stunned.

"If the imperial power wants to kill a person, it does not need to see if he has violated the law. ”

"And now, being alive is more important than anything else. ”

Ning Yi calmly looked at the second gentleman of the General's Mansion and said, "If one day, Senior Brother Shen Yuan can live, I think you may even be able to do the thing of raising the Northern Realm King Banner to the south, so now this matter is ...... Why not?"

Mr. Two was stunned at first.

Ning Yi is right.

If the prince explicitly ordered the killing of the senior brother, he would really be able to lead the cavalry south to rebel.

Qianqi-kun didn't care about any laws at all.

But at this moment, he suddenly smiled, and said in a cold tone: "You can rest assured, what was promised to you before, the General's Mansion will do it." But to be clear, I did this only because I believed in my brother's choice. ”

He gritted his teeth, extremely unwilling, and spoke.

"The family teacher has been stationed in the north for decades, and he has never done such a flattering thing in his life, and he is not afraid of strong enemies...... If one day, those steppe barbarians take the armament and don't appreciate it, I can't spare you. ”

Ning Yi sighed in his heart.

He understands Qianyu-kun very well.

In the Great Sui world, almost no one has ever been to the Urle Plateau, let alone know about it...... There is no doubt about the combat effectiveness of the Eight Great King Banners, after all, the two worlds are negotiating with the grassland, trying to gain the support of a middle force, and the attitude of the Great Sui to the outside world is very resolute.

If you can't get the support of the grassland, then you will destroy the grassland together with the demon clan.

The prejudice between the two worlds is very deep.

Not me

The hearts of the races must be different - those desolate people on the plateau, carrying half of the blood of the demon race and the human race, no matter which world they take refuge in the north and south, they will not be truly recognized.

This is the reason why Qianqijun has the attitude he has now.

Ning Yi held the huge forces of the grassland, but lacked advanced armaments and resources, and relied on negotiations with Lingshan...... Swallowed part of the prince's supplies.

"Ning can use his own head as a guarantee, even if he doesn't have this armament, if the two worlds go to war one day, the grassland will always be on the side of the General's Mansion. ”

Ning Yi stopped.

He repeated again and said, "It's not the Great Sui side, but the General's Mansion side." ”

Great Sui ...... It means imperial power.

And the General's Palace, it is not.

Qianyujun's eyes fluctuated, and finally he was speechless, and said softly with some sadness: "I believe in Senior Brother's choice." ”

Shen Yuanjun didn't open his mouth from beginning to end.

During the whole negotiation, he seemed to be thinking, but he never expressed his opinions, remarks, positions, or identity, and he was the most central figure in the whole meeting.

He gave Ning Yi a lot of respect.

Ning Yi saw all this

Arrived at the intersection of the sections.

Ning Yi stopped, looked at Shen Yuanjun, and spoke extremely seriously, word by word.

"Senior brother...... Thank you. ”

Shen Yuanjun hummed softly, waved his hand, and turned around with his junior brother to leave.

......

......

"Senior brother. ”

After the separation, Qianqian Jun couldn't help but speak, and said, "The General's Mansion chooses this way, will it be too aggressive?"

In the heavy snow, Shen Yuanjun stopped, stretched out a hand, and gently wiped the snow chips on the sable tail.

He spoke softly.

"If one day I die, what will happen to the North?"

The voice of this sentence was very soft, but Shen Yuanjun even used the Divine Soul Secret Method.

Qianzhenjun's pupils contracted, and his thoughts froze.

Shen Yuanjun looked deeply at his junior brother.

The two men stood in the snow, the north wind blowing, the hunting sound, but in the end there was only silence.

"Look, junior brother. Shen Yuanjun smiled, stretched out a hand, patted Qianzhen's shoulder, and said, "I gave you a chance, but you don't have the courage to say what you want to say." ”

Qianyujun's expression was very trance-like, and he was even a little depressed.

At the moment when he just froze, countless thoughts floated through his mind, dancing wildly like an electric shock.

If one day the senior brother dies...... What to do?

He didn't believe that Shen Yuan would leave at first, just like he didn't believe that his master would die...... But ten years ago, a tragic incident had already been staged, so he began to force himself to face it.

The General's Mansion, the Great Wall in the North, the legacy of the Division, and the ambitions of generations.

He wanted to say that he was here to take it all on...... But when the words came to his lips, they turned into silence.

In the end, there was only bitterness left in my heart.

"There's always someone to try to carry the weight. Shen Yuanjun said softly: "I decided to give Ning Yi a chance, from the moment the General's Mansion dispatched the Iron Cavalry to fight the Demon Clan, and decided to take him back, he deserved this opportunity." ”

Qianyu-kun muttered, "Yes...... You're right......"

He stretched out a hand, the snow falling from his palm turned into heat, he wiped his face fiercely, couldn't see his expression clearly, gritted his teeth and said, "I understand." ”

"Hmm...... Went back. ”

Shen Yuanjun yawned and walked towards the inn alone.

Qianyujun was still standing in the snow, he looked at the back of his senior brother and did not follow...... My vision became blurry inexplicably, and I remembered the dark night of many years ago.

The night of blood, the night of Master's death.

The sky fell.

At that time, the senior brother, cultivation, and realm were almost the same as his current self.

One person resisted all-

thousand

He was caught in a tangle in his heart and a painful reflection.

In his palm, the snow flakes burned and turned into a blazing flame, and the words of Pei Min's teachings many years ago lingered in his ears.

"The North's Endless ...... It's not the flying sword, bow and crossbow, iron horse of the General's Mansion. ”

"It's an unquenchable will like wildfire. ”

Shen Yuanjun once told Ning Yi that he would not fall.

He finally looked at Qianzhen's eyes, although he was not disappointed, but still a little regretful.

He will not fall, because he has not yet set foot on Fengming Mountain.

He couldn't fall because there was no one behind him...... can carry the banner of the General's Mansion.

......

......

The Mansion of the Marquis of the Sword Line.

Ning Yi pushed open the door.

The moon is like frost, mixed with wind and snow, and the iron cavalry of the General's Mansion has been repaired here for half a day, so the snow in front of the mansion has been cleaned.

In the scorching tide of the heavenly capital, he and Pei Lingsu were both "sinners" who violated the law, and Emperor Taizong convicted the two of them for many crimes, and by the way, he also stripped them of the title of Marquis of Jianxing...... So the mansion was left vacant.

But after all, it is the residence of the former Pope, even if Chen Yi loses power, there are still many secular followers, so there are linen robes and Taoists here all year round.

Fortunately, Ning Yi didn't leave anything valuable in the mansion in the first place.

Ning Yi is going to spend the night here.

But push the door open.

Ning Yi's expression changed suddenly.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at the red-robed man sitting in the courtyard, the moonlight distorted and shone on the trunk of the dead wood, obviously a quiet picture, but inexplicably overflowing with a cold aura.

The man in the big red robe looked clean.

But it's also dirty.

He sat at the Eight Immortals stone table in the courtyard and read a book, his back leaned against the stone wall, and there was a pot of evergreen at his feet, and his whole demeanor was very relaxed.

He had been sitting in the mansion for a long time.

Ning Yi was expressionless, staring at the red-robed man.

He will never forget the "official" who gave himself a hard blow in the Lotus Dojo and exposed Pei Yatou's background.

Xu Zang's first admonition to himself.

Kill to kill.

And this is the biggest lesson I have learned so far.

"Gongsun Yue?" he closed the door of the Sword Marquis Mansion with his backhand, his expression was extremely calm, but killing thoughts were already surging in his heart...... This chief of the "Supervision Department" has monstrous power in his hands, but when it comes to cultivation, he is just an ant.

He wants to pinch Gongsun Yue to death now, it's too simple.

Gongsun put down the book, and he looked at Ning Yi...... He has seen too many similar expressions in the past few years.

The meeting of two people is too long and too far away.

So the hatred between life and death doesn't seem to be so strong.

Gongsun smiled lightly and said, "Mr. Ning almost killed me back then, and I almost killed Mr. Ning...... This account, logically speaking, can be regarded as written off. ”

Ning Yi was expressionless, "How to settle the grievances between you and me, what you said doesn't count." ”

Gongsun smiled and said indifferently: "I am the one who will die sooner or later, if Mr. Ning doesn't do it today, I may die on the street tomorrow." ”

Ning Yi frowned.

"Mr. Ning has just come out of the secret room of the Intelligence Division, and he must have talked to Yun Xun. Gongsun opened his mouth lightly, but he directly poked out the biggest secret of the Intelligence Department, he looked at Ning Yi's frowning brows, and said with a smile: "Don't worry...... I won't tell the prince. ”

"What do you want to say?"

Ning Yi stared at Gongsun's eyes.

Gongsun said calmly: "I want to make a fair deal with you. ”

......
