Chapter 20: Ruthlessness

"You're really okay?"

At the entrance of the alley, Ding Ning looked at Xue Wangxu with some suspicion and asked.

"Of course, there is no problem, you must go home every day when you practice in the Aries Cave on weekdays, but now that you have been away from home for a long time, why don't you go back quickly when you get to the door? Not to mention that even if you want to accompany me, you have to give me some personal time. Xue Wangxu said softly.

Ding Ning thought about it, but still didn't move immediately.

"Don't be like this and never see my eyes again after tonight. Xue Wangxu had a headache and said, "There really won't be any problems." ”

Ding Ning nodded and said calmly, "You remember what you promised." ”

"Am I living so old that I still have to deceive a young child like you? ”

Xue Wangxu waved his hand angrily and funny, signaling Ding Ning to get out of here.

Ding Ning didn't say anything more, and bowed quietly.

Xue Wangxu didn't look at Ding Ning anymore and turned to leave.

The moon is in the middle of the sky.

Xue Wangxu had no intention of returning to the White Sheep Cave, but just walked along the straight street towards the center of Changling.

In the center of Changling is where the imperial palace is located.

The earthy yellow walls of the palace were not majestic in the cold winter night, and not even a single visible defender was visible from the gate tower. However, just as he stepped onto a boundary bridge on the outermost part of the palace, a Taoist in Tsing Yi came from the sky and landed in front of Xue Wangxu.

"Aries Cave Xue forgot about the void and asked to see Her Royal Highness the Queen. ”

Xue Wangxu calmly saluted the Taoist in Tsing Yi and said softly.

In the middle of the night when the palace doors are closed, it is very unruly to ask to see the queen, but this Taoist in Tsing Yi only raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with his chin: "Senior Xue, I'll report it later." ”

There was even some genuine respect in his words.

This is because a cultivator who has crossed the Seven Realms is worthy of the respect of any cultivator, and he does have the qualifications to make such a request.

The Taoist in Tsing Yi flew through the air, and Xue Wangxu stood alone in front of the empty palace, looking very lonely.

However, the Taoist in Tsing Yi did not let him wait for a long time, or the woman in the position that was really high and cold no longer needed to pretend to be majestic at all.

In just a moment, the Taoist in Tsing Yi swept back in front of him in the air and said, "The queen has been approved, come with me." ”

did not take any side doors, and the heavy main gate of the palace slowly opened a line, allowing Tsing Yi Dao and Xue Wangxu to pass.

......

The queen was not in the study, where she often stayed, but stood on a stone path flanked by bronze figurines.

Behind her stood two stunning maids, but as ever, her dazzling beauty overshadowed any woman standing with her.

She quietly looked at Xue Wangxu who was coming, and there was no emotion in her perfect eyes.

Xue Wangxu couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly when he saw her for the first time.

Because it's too perfect, it's a little unreal.

Because it's too dazzling, it's a little scorching.

Thirty steps away from her, Xue Wuxu paused, then bowed deeply and said, "See Her Royal Highness the Empress." ”

The queen looked at Xue Wuxu, who had white hair, lightly, and there was still no special emotion on her perfect face, "No courtesy." ”

Xue Wangxu nodded.

He didn't describe his intentions, just kept his head bowed humbly, but there was a strange change in his body, as if there were countless things that were already in his body, all of them were about to fly out of his body and fly into the sky at a very high place.

"Stop. ”

At this moment, the queen glanced at him calmly and said loudly.

Xue Wangxu stopped, and all the abnormal aura in his body disappeared.

"Why?"

The queen's perfect eyes finally had a trace of special emotion, and she asked with some doubts: "For a cultivator like you, cultivation is originally more important than life, and without cultivation, what do you want to do with your life?"

Xue Wangxu replied quietly: "I want to see the Minshan Sword Club in the coming year... Please ask for the Queen's permission. ”

"You have your own way of doing things, Changling is so big, can't I still tolerate you?" The queen didn't hesitate, looked at him and said slowly: "Your request, I will naturally agree, but I don't want you to ask in this way, you have to help me do something." ”

Xue Wangxuan was slightly different and asked, "What's the matter?"

The queen looked at him quietly and said, "Go and teach Liang Lian a lesson for me." ”

Xue Wangxu didn't raise his head, frowned slightly, and was waiting for peace to agree.

At this moment, the queen slowly continued: "Take the young man who has been with you all these days." ”

Xue Wangxu was suddenly shocked, and an endless chill surged in his heart, he suddenly raised his head, looked at the queen's flawless face, and asked, "Why?"

The questions and answers of the two are extremely simple, but they can completely understand each other's meaning.

Hearing Xue Wangxu's question, the empress said, "Because that young man's performance has been good so far, my attitude towards every Great Qin cultivator is the same, and I also hope that every cultivator will put Great Qin first. The perception of a young man may determine his life. Since even I felt that young man's performance was good, then he would most likely become a useful talent for Great Qin in the future, so I didn't want him to have any prejudice against me or even the entire palace. ”

"At its simplest, I don't want him to hate me. ”

The queen looked at the bronze figurines on both sides of the stone road, and continued in an indifferent but undisguised tone: "So I don't want him to think that you are using the method of self-destruction to ask for the Minshan Sword Festival to survive next year." But I want him to know awe and rules, so I want you to take him with me. ”

Xue Wangxu looked at her perfect face without much emotion, knowing that things would never turn around, he took a deep breath and nodded seriously, "It was my negligence, Her Royal Highness the Queen arranged it like this, and it was indeed the best for him." ”

The queen said no more, and turned to walk towards the study behind her.

Xue Wangxu looked at her perfect back, and couldn't help but think in his heart, it turns out that you are even more ruthless than I imagined.

The queen seemed to be able to sense Xue Wangxu's heart, but she didn't care.

She is also well aware that many people think she is cold.

However, governing the country itself is a cruel thing.

There is order in the cold law.

......

......

The eldest grandson Qianxue sat quietly on the bed, looked at Ding Ning, who had finished rinsing and changed into clean clothes, and asked, "What happened to Feng Qianyun?"

Ding Ning, who was still waiting for her to speak, whether to double cultivate or lie back on his bed obediently, was stunned for a moment, and asked curiously: "How did you think that you would ask this question?"

"Because I don't like Feng Qianyun very much. The eldest grandson Qianxue glanced at Ding Ning, signaled that he could go back to his bed and sit down, and at the same time continued coldly: "At that time, Emperor Yuanwu led the army to conquer the Bashan Sword Field, and Feng Qianyun was one of the disciples of the Bashan Sword Field who surrendered at the first time. Surrender is surrender, even if you sell some of the secrets of the Bashan Sword Field, it is nothing, after all, the internal expedition of the Great Qin Dynasty, every Qin person has different ideas, but when he turned against each other, he also said a lot of untrue and bad things that slandered the Bashan Sword Field, and those words were simply filthy ears. ”

But when these filthy words were preached, others believed them. Ding Ning sneered and said, "But this time he finally paid some price, he was hit by Xue Wangxu's sword, even if the injury can be good, his cultivation will be greatly damaged, and the injury of the five internal organs will not make him live for a few years." ”

The eldest grandson, Qianxue, didn't seem to be satisfied with this result, thought about it, and said, "I'll kill him directly after a while?"

Ding Ning suddenly made a bitter face and said, "We have only been to Zhushan County, and now you are in a hurry, and you will kill him casually, don't you lead your suspicious eyes to me?"

The eldest grandson Qianxue frowned, and when she heard Ding Ning say this, she felt that something was wrong.

"There are so many people to kill, how can they be killed at one time. ”

Ding Ning muttered, but suddenly remembered something, and his face suddenly became solemn.

He opened his mouth to say something, but his eyes were full of hesitation.

The eldest grandson Qianxue didn't look at him, but she felt his emotions, so she said a little unpleasantly: "Say it quickly." ”

"There's someone who can be killed, and he might have what I want. Ding Ning groaned.

The eldest grandson Qianxue said, "What person?"

Ding Ning said heavily: "Nangong is injured." ”

The eldest grandson Qianxue thought for a long time before remembering the name: "Bashan Sword Field Sword Warehouse Disciple?"

Ding Ning nodded, "Compared to Feng Qianyun, you should hate him more." Because at that time, he not only stole many famous swords from the Bashan Sword Field in advance, but also destroyed the two important magic circles of the Bashan Sword Field, and he also said many disgusting words. ”

After a pause, Ding Ning added softly: "The most important thing is that he is in Changling. ”

The eldest grandson Qianxue said with some joy: "Where is he in Changling?"

"Like Xue Wangxu, you have also endured it for a long time, and your sword is just beginning, and if you don't let you make a sword, it will be detrimental to your future cultivation, and it may hold back things, this is the real reason why I decided to tell you about this person, but even if it is revenge, killing people is not something to be happy about. Ding Ning looked at the beautiful figure of the eldest grandson Qianxue through the curtain, and said slowly: "I want you to promise me that you must ensure absolute safety, and never let anyone find out that you have been there." ”

The eldest grandson Qianxue was a little impatient, and said slightly angrily: "I was too lazy to use my brain, you can arrange it." ”

Ding Ning nodded and said, "Okay, I'll arrange with Wang Taixu tomorrow." ”

The eldest grandson Qianxue remembered something at this time, and said coldly: "Wang Taixu came to you a few days ago, saying that he has done almost what you want him to do. ”

Ding Ning's body shook slightly, and there was surprise in his eyes.

"Nangong Injury, what do you need?" Eldest Sun Qianxue glanced at him and asked, "Is it something from the Bashan Sword Field?"

"It's not something from the Bashan Sword Field, it's a Dan recipe from their Nangong family. Ding Ning explained softly: "Their Nangong family was in charge of the medicinal diet of the Bashan Sword Field before, and I need their Wuyang Dan Dan formula. ”
