Chapter Seventy-Three: The Road Ahead Is Difficult
"In tomorrow's election, who are the seniors interested in?"
The candle flame flickered in the dark room, and the white-haired old man who closed his eyes and recuperated sneered, disapproving.
"What is there to ask about this? If you don't choose the helmsman of the Black Cloud Society, you will definitely give your life before sunrise, and the old man is not blind. ”
The man in Tsing Yi who came to visit was speechless for a while, unsheathed his sword and knelt down, with his long sword lying across his lap.
Nie Baishuang was still indifferent, and said with a light smile: "Xie Hui is in his twilight years after all, and he has been in the prime of life for half a lifetime, and his only heir has long been missing. Although he won the whole victory in this conference, there is no need to worry about the sky, this river and lake will one day be born after you. ”
Su Qinghe was silent.
Nie Baishuang continued: "The old man never thought that you would come to visit tonight. ”
Su Qinghe's face was filled with sadness, and he said prostrately: "The younger generation is ashamed!"
Nie Baishuang smiled: "It's okay. The old man has never seen a young man like you for nearly a year. It is related to the safety of the world's martial arts, and it can take the world as its own responsibility, but the former is commendable. ”
Su Qinghe couldn't afford to lie down.
"A few years ago, my father once said that Beiwulin is the mainstay of the Nie family, and there will be no decline in forty years. Qinghe has been aiming for a career for many years, and he is negligent in martial arts, and he can't even eliminate the harm for martial arts tonight, which is very ashamed. ”
The dark moon hung high outside the window, and even Jinguan City, which had been lit up for several days, fell into a silent ink color unusually tonight.
Nie Baishuang shook his head slightly, and said, "Why do you say guilty? Don't say that it is you tonight, even if you bet on the power of the entire elder martial arts to overthrow the tide, you don't dare to say that you can take off Xie Hui's head." ”
Su Qinghe was speechless when he heard this.
Nie Baishuang hissed: "What's more, I don't know how many dark chess moves he has." A few days ago, the young man Mo Dao, who shined at the Hundred Swords Meeting, was afraid that he was already the last trump card under Dongfang Lianmo, but Xie Hui was even more unguardable. He could have been a miracle winner, and it was considered to be in line with common sense, but he wanted to make an enemy of himself, and make a Zhao Wu'an in this martial arts, which was quite unpredictable. ”
Su Qinghe was stunned: "Zhao Wu'an?"
"It's no surprise that you haven't heard of it. This man is secretive and erratic, often mediating between the game between two giants. If he hadn't visited at night a few days ago, I would have thought he was from the eastern Lian Mo side. Nie Baishuang said lightly.
Su Qinghe blinked his eyes and said in a daze: "No, Zhao Wu'an, he shouldn't-"
When the words came to his lips, Su Qinghe was suddenly stunned, recalling Zhao Wu'an's entrustment.
It is important to wait until the end of the conference before all action can be taken.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Su Qinghe's mind.
Of course, he believed that Nie Baishuang in front of him, with the pride and ambition of the Nie family's century-old foundation, would definitely not stand on Xie Hui's side, so he chose to come to explore the wind tonight, and in order to defeat the black clouds, he would first draw a few strengths.
After all, half an hour ago, the overwhelming power gap that Xie Hui showed at the conference had been remembered by everyone.
If it weren't for the Ten Wishes Monk of Shu to stop it, I am afraid that most of the people in the rivers and lakes would not be able to get out of last night's venue alive.
After the rising sun, in Jinguan City, how many are still left who have the strength to resist the Black Cloud Society?
Su Qinghe really didn't dare to think about it. It is precisely because of this that pinning everything on Zhao Wu'an seems to be too difficult.
But on the other hand, Zhao Wu'an may have expected the current situation to force them to get out of this dispute for the time being.
The thirteen mountains of Jiuzhuang in the world are all contained by the East and have no power to fight back, and before the two fight to the point of knowing the winner or loser, it is indeed a fool's dream to take any strategy.
Regardless of anything else, even Nie Baishuang would think that Zhao Wu'an was Xie Hui's pawn, and the control of these two heroes was terrifying.
Until one side is completely out, everyone in the game will be shrouded in a thick black cloud, unable to distinguish between friend and foe.
"I see...... Is that why you're leaving Jinguan City? ”
Putting down the topic of Zhao Wu'an, and having a brief conversation with Nie Baishuang for a while, Su Qinghe got up and said goodbye.
Visiting Lanxiangju tonight in the name of a Bianliang official, Su Qinghe only planned to make a temptation, and had no intention of convincing the scheming family master to join forces. Halfway through, I figured out Zhao Wu'an's intentions, and it was worth the trip.
As soon as Su Qinghe walked out of the door, another figure appeared under the eaves. He turned his head to look, frowned, and subconsciously buckled the hilt of his sword.
"Why are you here?"
"I can't sleep, come out and go around. Dai Lou Duyun raised his eyes and looked at the sky.
"Came to this orchid house by the way?"
"Don't make a big fuss, I'm not interested in what you talked about with the head of the Nie family. Dai Lou Duyun replied lazily.
Su Qinghe was speechless for a while, and slowly let go of the hand holding the hilt of the sword.
"You also saw what happened today, how do you feel?" asked Dai Lou Duyun.
Su Qinghe thought for a while and said solemnly: "It's as difficult as climbing to the sky." ”
Dai Lou Duyun chuckled and sighed, "Rao is like this, you don't plan to give up...... A petty official in Tsing Yi has great ambitions. ”
"If the rivers and lakes are turbulent, the people will be displaced, and the world will be uneven, which is not a good thing. Su Qinghe said, "I am a gentle person, but I am as lonely as Zhao Jushi, and I can still move forward for the safety of the common people, I don't dare to have a worry-free mind." ”
"Interesting. But it's a pity that with your ability, you can't find a breakthrough in this Jinguan City. Go back early and rest, you don't have to worry about it tonight. ”
With that, he grabbed the butterfly blade that slipped from his sleeve and walked slowly into the depths of the alley.
The sound of footsteps reverberates in the empty street corners. In the darkness of the deep alley, something seemed to be moving.
Su Qinghe frowned: "What are you going to do?"
"If you don't want to die—"
Staring at the surging darkness, a sneer curled into the corner of Dai Lou Twilight's lips.
"Just get out of here. ”
As soon as the words fell, Dai Lou Duyun raised the butterfly blade in his hand, and the lightning and stone fire were about to explode.
"Boom!"
The incomparable energy burst out from the depths of the alley, and Su Qinghe was caught off guard, turned upside down and flew out of the alley, and fell heavily in front of a wine shop.
At the last moment of losing consciousness, the fierce ghost rushed out of the deep alley with teeth and claws, and his dark pupils were brightened.
————————
The stars were shining brightly in the night sky, but in a deserted house outside the city, only a few remnants of candles were beating with difficulty.
On the bed made of wooden planks, there was a bloody, unconscious teenager lying on his face, it was Li Shun, who had set off a storm at the martial arts conference not long ago.
The people who appeared with him are now dead, and even Yuwen Guhang, the prime minister of the Ye Kingdom, took his life to save him. The young man's current appearance doesn't seem to be worthy of so many heroes and heroes sacrificing their lives for him.
The circle of people around this young man, most of them, with a little bit of indifference, turned a blind eye to this suddenly extra oil bottle.
Only Li Huang came, with a grateful look on his face, and said respectfully: "Thank you for your help." If you take a step slower, I'm afraid you won't be able to save the little prince. ”
And the people he rescued were Hu Buxi and others who witnessed Li Shun's escape on the high platform of the inn not long ago.
Although with the help of Xu Banfeng and others, Li Shun escaped from Xie Hui's pursuit, but with the pervasiveness of the Black Cloud Society, it was still effortless to find him out of Jinguan City within a few hours. What's more, with Li Shun's special identity, Xie Hui must want to get rid of him quickly.
So when Li Huang, who was covered in blood, came to carry Li Shun on his back and knocked on the door of the inn, everyone felt that something was wrong.
Li Huanglai was also desperate to make this decision. Relying on his three-legged cat kung fu, it may be smooth to sneak attack a few low-level killers of the Black Cloud Society, but if he wants to protect Li Shun from the Black Cloud Society, it is tantamount to a fool's dream.
It is also extremely dangerous to place Li Shun in the inn. Once the black cloud will find clues and find the door, I am afraid that it will wash the entire inn in blood and affect more innocent people.
Su Qinghe disappeared after the conference ended, and Dailou Duyun didn't know where he went.
In desperation, Hu Buxi had no choice but to order Annan to protect the An family and his wife, and take the others to escape from Jinguan City overnight to avoid the limelight.
This deserted house was arranged by Li Huanglai outside the city a long time ago, and it should be that he listened to Yuwen Guhang's words in case of emergency.
It's just that now Yuwen is dead, and the plan to restore the country promised to Li Huang has been empty for a while. Desperately trying countless lives to save only one Li Shun, the gains outweigh the losses.
Hu Buxi was naturally the first to feel unfair: "Yuwen Gu has spent so much effort to only protect you, the little prince who has not dried up, what will I do next?"
Li Huanglai, who is still a distant relative of Li Shun in blood, sighed: "Yuwen Gong's calculation is here, and there is indeed no way back. Now we can only take one step at a time, and then think about it in the long run. ”
Hu Buxi's face was not good: "We don't have the kung fu to discuss with you in the long run!"
Although there was no one to help, the expressions of Duan Taoli and Zhu Nanzhan were clearly saying that the Li family's affairs had nothing to do with them.
Not to mention Duan Taoli, Hu Buxi also has no good feelings for this person who once betrayed Zhao Wuan. Although he has received some help from him since entering Jinguancheng, his merits are not worth it, and Hu Buxi still can't say that he likes him.
However, Zhu Nanzhan was a little more friendly: "Saving people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, and tonight is safe." But now the black clouds will be monstrous, if you don't kill this person, your Li family is afraid that the road ahead will be more auspicious. ”
Li Huanglai's face was full of sadness, and he sighed: "I don't know how difficult it is. But after all, it was Yuwen Gong and others who sacrificed their lives to save them, and no matter what they said, they couldn't let their efforts go in vain. ”
The night breeze passed through the hall, the candles were blazing, and the figures in the deserted house were longing, like a thick cloud accumulating on the unconscious Li Shun.
It seems that he doesn't know how difficult the road ahead is, but at this moment, there is still green energy on his fingertips, crazy as the peak.
