Phantom Spear 2 Episode 22: A Painful Choice
Last time, Xu Yuan and Yan Kuo had a fateful contest under the moonlit night, and the result was that when the two of them reached the point, Yan Kuo won half a move. Welcome to Reading //
One of the four major factions outside the Guan, the "Heaven" Sect, the "Fengtian Pavilion" in the faction, an elderly man with half-white hair, more than seven feet in length, and a sharp cold light in his eyes was waiting for his disciple. There was a severe callus on the palm of his right hand, and those who had practiced martial arts could tell at a glance that this person must be a master of martial arts who had experienced a hundred battles. His proud eyes are murderous, revealing his identity. At this moment, a young man about twenty-five or sixteen years old pushed open the door and walked in. The young man bowed respectfully to the elder and whispered, "Master, are you looking for me?" The old man turned around and looked at him, a smile flashed across his stern face, and he said in a very deep voice, "Oh, Haoran, you are here. It's not anything important, I just want to tell you about the four factions meeting in seven days. The young man's face instantly became solemn, nodded, and said, "Master, will Senior Brother Liu come back to participate in this meeting?" The elder waved his sleeves and sighed: "Your Senior Brother Liu has many important political affairs in the DPRK that he needs to deal with personally, and he has already sent a letter a few days ago, saying that the situation in the DPRK and China is grim, and the final critical moment is coming, so he can't come separately. The young man understood, and said faintly: "Senior Brother Liu is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, he has outstanding qualifications and talents, and he really envy me." The elder paced two steps and said, "Haoran, you don't have to be too humble, if you are a thesis, you are indeed far from Ruohan, but in terms of martial arts attainments, your qualifications will not be lost to your senior brother." There was no trace of joy on the young man's face, and he hurriedly said, "Master has won the award." The elder stopped, and Zhengse said: "This time the four factions will be martial, and each sect is required to send two players to participate, Haoran, you naturally want to go." The young man replied with a firm look respectfully, and said, "Thank you Master for your trust, the disciple will definitely do his best and swear to win glory for the sect, but the other one I don't know which senior brother or junior brother it is?" The elder snorted lightly and said, "The other one, for the teacher, prepare to let Jing'er go up." When the young man heard this, he seemed a little surprised, but he immediately returned to normal, and he didn't ask much, but said, "Yes, Master, within these seven days, I will definitely step up my martial arts practice with Senior Brother Dugu." The elder let out a "hmm" and motioned for the young man to step aside. The young man clenched his fists and made another series and walked out.
On the way to the martial arts training ground, he was puzzled, and said in his heart: I really didn't expect that this time the four factions will be martial arts, and the master has always attached great importance to it, how could this arrangement be so rash. It is true that Senior Brother Liu can't come to help, and the strength of our faction has weakened, but it is not to the point of sending Ah Jing, there are still many powerful senior brothers in the door, although they are not highly talented, but they are all strong people. Ah Jing, his martial arts are mediocre, is it because he is the master's beloved son, no, over the years, the master will never abolish the public for personal reasons. Could it be that what strategy is hidden by the master to win?
On the other hand, in the study room of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the capital, Liu Gongzi stood aside, and Liu Shichen, the current Prime Minister of the DPRK, sat in the center of the seat, with a hint of treachery on his face. Liu Gongzi personally poured a cup of fragrant tea for his father, and said in a low voice: "Dad, Zhanqun has returned." Liu Shichen took the cup very calmly, took a sip, and said lightly: "Oh, what did you do with what you told him to do?" Liu Gongzi put down the purple sand teapot and said: "Things are going very smoothly, there is absolutely no mistake." Liu Shichen nodded slightly, took another sip of fragrant tea, and then said: "Hmph, it's good, this person doesn't know how to lift, this is the end." Those who follow me prosper and those who disobey me die, this is the way of heaven. Without this person, my plan will be less unnecessarily hindered, and it can be described as a bright road, just waiting for me to leave. When the time comes, I will personally discard the useless thing and get what belongs to me. Liu Gongzi saw the ambition in his father's eyes, and he didn't know whether to be happy or sad, and said: "I hope my father will achieve hegemony as soon as possible, but in this way, how can my sister explain it?" Liu Shichen's excited face just now suddenly flashed a trace of melancholy and uneasiness, and he couldn't help sighing, and said: "This is the trade-off of life, those who achieve big things are not informal, and when the big things are completed, my father can sit on the whole world." If Bingbing doesn't like the children of the eunuchs, there are many young heroes in the martial arts, and then the father will personally find a good son-in-law for Bingbing. When Liu Gongzi heard this, there was a little sadness between his eyebrows, and the tangled look on his jade face was visible, and he said to himself: "If you do this, will she really be happy sister? She already has a certain foundation for that person's feelings, can she really let it go? I am afraid that she will not be able to stand this blow, even if she finds a good husband for her in the future, will she really be happy?" Liu Shichen got up, patted his beloved son on the shoulder, and comforted: "Ruohan, my father knows that you are distressed Bingbing, so why not my father." Bingbing from birth to the present, her father has regarded her as the pearl of his palm, of course his father doesn't want to see her a little worried, and he can't bear to see her sad, but she is too willful this time and falls in love with the person she shouldn't love, which is also a painful choice, there is no other way. Liu Gongzi suddenly felt a panic in his chest, and said: "Dad, I want to go out for a walk, take a break, if there is anything important, just send someone to inform me." Liu Shichen could understand the bitterness in his son's heart, nodded, and said: "Before and after the martial arts conference, you haven't had a good rest, these three days, you go out to relax yourself, if there is anything, my father will send someone to deal with it." Liu Gongzi was just about to go out, but suddenly turned around and said, "Dad, you better go and see Bingbing in person." Liu Shichen shook his head with a smile and said, "Knowing father Mo Ruozi!" Liu Gongzi's eyes closed slightly, and he bowed goodbye to his father.
"Knock knock" accompanied by a clear knock on the door, and a sweet voice came from inside the house: "Who?" The person outside paused and said, "Bingbing, Dad has come to see you, open the door quickly." Liu Bingbing hurriedly agreed, and after a long time, the door was opened. Liu Shichen looked at his daughter's expression at the moment, and seemed to have guessed a little bit in his heart, his face became ugly, and he asked as he walked in: "Bingbing, why did it take so long to open the door?" Just... It's not like that, Dad, don't think about it. Liu Shichen saw his daughter Juanxiu's face and said with a smile: "Dad watched you grow up, what are you thinking in your heart, doesn't Dad know, you can't hide it from Dad." Liu Bingbing's face flushed, pulled over a chair, asked his father to sit down, and sat next to him.
Liu Shichen looked around the room and saw a lot of rice paper spread on the desk, the inkstone was filled with ink, and a few brushes were casually thrown aside. He already knew it in his heart, and said, "Bingbing, quickly show your ink to Daddy." Liu Bingbing was taken aback at first, and said, "Dad, really, nothing can escape your eyes." However, not this time, I can't show it to my father. Liu Shichen laughed out loud after hearing this, and said: "My daughter has really grown up and has her own thoughts." Dad has no right to intervene in many things. The words deliberately revealed a desolate meaning, Liu Bingbing walked over, held Liu Shichen's shoulder, kneaded for him, and said: "Daddy, you have so many tedious political affairs in the DPRK and China every day, where do you still have time to watch your daughter's casual pen and ink when chatting?" Liu Shichen looked up at his daughter, Liu Bingbing's face was full of cuteness, and he said helplessly: "Alas, you girl, you are really getting better and better at talking." Liu Bingbing half-squatted down, leaned on his father's arm, and said, "Daddy, how can I have a daughter? I am still the original Bingbing, and I will always be a good daughter of my father." There were some subtle changes in Liu Shichen's face, and he deliberately avoided it so that his daughter would not see it. The words he was about to say were swallowed by him again, because he loved his daughter too much, and he didn't want to see Liu Bingbing sad and sad...
