The summer breeze was blowing, but Zhao Wu'an and Hu Buxi felt a deep cold and chill that could only be experienced by counting nine cold winters.

"You say...... What?"

After a long time, Zhao Wu'an could hear his hoarse voice echoing in the small courtyard. An Qing was still sleeping soundly, breathing long.

"The sand dug out from under the stone of the Xiliang Ancient Pavilion, combined with the powder made of wrought iron and coal, is very different from ordinary fireworks. Annan said meaningfully.

"Once it is triggered, it will form a chain reaction in an instant, and the whole city will be doomed. The ancient walls would crumble, the wooden houses would catch fire, the bluestone streets would be so hot that pedestrians would not be able to do anything, and the emperor would be able to watch his capital turn into a sea of flames. Eventually, the fire extended into the Zichen Palace, extinguishing this sinful dynasty. ”

There was a frightening silence. Hu Buxi frowned and scolded: "Bastard! How can you come up with such a hurtful plan!?"

Annan shook his head suddenly, changed his words, and said, "This is not a plan I came up with. ”

Hu Buxi was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know why: "What the hell does this mean?"

"From the research and production of Ryukyu gunpowder, to the aerial view of the entire Bianliang City, and the decision on the time and place of the crime, all of them have nothing to do with me, but are planned by my predecessor. ”

Zhao Wu'an was stunned for a moment, and his eyes widened subconsciously.

"Your predecessor, the previous Zhu Wang ......"

"That's right. All of this was a plan that the supreme genius came up with, and the Demon Greed Temple was only responsible for implementing it. Now I'm not going to start it, it's all about you. Annan said solemnly, "Again, this is my attitude on this matter. ”

Zhao Wu'an and Hu Buxi glanced at each other.

If the 100,000 catties of gunpowder were the last bargaining chip used by the Greedy Demon Hall to turn the tables, then Annan should not have run to Zhao Wu'an at this time to expose himself. And the reason why Annan confidently and boldly exposed this plan to the two of them largely means that he himself is not afraid of the failure of the plan.

That is to say, this plan, from design to practice, the responsibility for each link must be the previous Zhuwang, Wen Chuanyu.

Wen Chuanyu set his sights on this ancient city, and then wanted to destroy it at all costs.

This is certainly not a difficult task for the genius Wen Chuanyu, but from Zhao Wu'an's point of view, it is really strange. It's weird.

Zhao Wu'an was puzzled.

Annan smiled bitterly: "Is it unexpected, Zhao Jushi? According to my understanding of him, it is better to say that only such a Bianliang City is the most suitable place, right?"

Zhao Wu'an was thoughtful. "Is Wen Chuanyu looking forward to the place in his heart?"

"Yes. I'm also serving in the Demon Greed Palace, and I've heard a little about you and Wen Chuanyu. "Does he want to kill you?" He wants to kill you with his own hands, without any outside interference, completely, right?"

"He tried for a long time...... I have given up countless good opportunities for this, and of course, I have been caught off guard by many surprises. ”

"Then this Bianliang is an excellent place. Annan said firmly. "Wen Chuanyu will try to kill you here, with his May Flowing Fire, even if he does not hesitate to bring people all over the city to accompany the burial, he will give you a sea of fire. ”

Zhao Wu'an fell silent.

Of course, he knew that Wen Chuanyu was the kind of person who would do whatever it took to achieve his goal, forbearance and cunning, and he could not take him lightly at any time. And in the past twenty years, his biggest purpose is to kill Zhao Wu'an.

However, Wen Chuanyu would actually throw himself into the Greedy Demon Hall in order to achieve his goal, which Zhao Wu'an did not expect.

"How long has he been planning this?"

100,000 tons of gunpowder soaked into the city wall, apparently not in a day.

"Ten years. Annan said calmly, "The architectural layout of the entire Bianliang City, the night patrol methods of the forbidden army and Jin Wuwei, even every brick in Bianliang, Wen Chuanyu knows more than anyone else. ”

Although Annan's words were silent, they set off a monstrous wave in the hearts of Hu and Zhao.

"According to what you mean, this matter was completely arranged by Wen Chuanyu, and the Demon Greed Hall was not involved in it?" asked Zhao Wu'an.

Annan shrugged, "Of course we also played a part in this. However, before the attack on Bianliang, everyone except him did not think that this plan needed to be carried out. It's crazy to destroy a city with gunpowder. ”

Zhao Wu'an breathed a sigh of relief.

"But now, the Demon Greed Hall is almost completely wiped out - according to the hall master's intentions, even if this Bianliang is destroyed, there is nothing wrong with it. Annan said again.

Hu Buxi chirped: "I'm sorry, you dogs, you really want the world to be in chaos, aren't you?"

"This is just the meaning of the hall master, as one of the sect members, I am helpless against the temple master's decision. Annan said lightly, "What's more, even if I don't do it, Wen Chuanyu will do it." He will never let you, Zhao Jushi, leave Bianliang City safely. ”

Zhao Wu'an was stunned, buried his head, and did not make a sound.

Although he ignored Annan on the surface, in his heart, it was difficult to disagree with his words. Wen Chuanyu has always been clever and superhuman, and sometimes he obviously looks at it as a great opportunity to kill Zhao Wuan, but he just doesn't do it, and lets the opportunity pass in vain.

Going south and north to avoid pursuit, many years have passed, and Zhao Wu'an has more or less guessed some of Wen Chuanyu's intentions. His goal is not only Zhao Wu'an's death, but more importantly, to take Zhao Wu'an's life with his own hands.

A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye. Zhao Wu'an had taken everything from him, and he had to take everything away in front of Zhao Wu'an, which was the perfect revenge that Wen Chuanyu was pursuing.

Zhao Wu'an was silent on the side, Hu Buxi couldn't stand it, and his tone towards Annan also rushed a lot.

"What kind of hall bishops, you greedy demon hall is a recognized demon sect in the Central Plains!

Annan's face sank, "We don't want anything. ”

"Then you fucking stir up this Bianliang City like this!" Hu Buxi slapped the table.

"As I have already said, the siege of Bianliang by the Greedy Demon Hall has nothing to do with me, and King Zhu is just one of my many identities. Today, there was a bloody battle in Bianliang during the day, and all I did was stay in this house and accompany my sister. ”

Annan stood up suddenly, his face unkind, "I have warned so sincerely, if the two of you still want to spread this bit of grievance, then please forgive Annan for taking his leave, and Qing'er should not stay with the two of you." ”

"Old Hu, calm down. Zhao Wu'an opened his mouth to persuade.

Hu Buxi snorted coldly, "He made the Greedy Demon Hall clear!"

"Hu Buxi's words are a little excessive, and I apologize on his behalf. Zhao Wu'an said, "But I really want to ask about this matter, and it even makes me more confused than Wen Chuanyu." Why the hell did you join the Demon Greed Temple?"

The boy who grew up in the small township of Jianghuai, who has been wandering since he was a child, is also a hospitable and light-hearted boat family in Jiangning Mansion, no matter what he thinks, he will not be associated with the Xiliang Demon Sect such as the Greedy Demon Palace.

Annan's face was solemn and he did not speak.

Zhao Wu'an said: "It can be regarded as giving me an explanation." After returning from Bianliang, it is time for me to marry An Qing, and I don't want to be ignorant of my brother's character. ”

His words seemed to confuse Annan. In the moonlight, Annan lifted his sleeve and sucked the hot sweat from his forehead.

"There's one thing I'm looking for...... That's all. ”

He paused, hesitated for a long time, and then said, "Qing'er and my eldest brother have been guarding Xiliang for the Great Song Dynasty for nearly fifteen years. In the past 15 years, he has only returned to his hometown four or five times, and each time he has only stayed for more than 20 days. is as smart as Qing'er, and even told me that he can't remember the appearance of his eldest brother. ”

Zhao Wu'an was stunned.

A cool breeze swept through the courtyard, and the linden trees rustled overhead.

Annan restrained his nostalgic look, stood solemnly, and gave Zhao Wu'an a long look.

"Qing'er can get Zhao Jushi as her husband, which is a blessing from her previous life. Annan did not have such achievements as Zhao Jushi, so he could only do his best to make some insignificant contributions to the An family. ”

After that, he glanced at An Qing deeply, and then said goodbye.

Zhao Wu'an stood in the courtyard in a daze, looking confused. Hu Buxi, who was behind him, put the knife into the sheath and showed resentment.

"I don't think he's a good guy. Hearing this, it means that he robbed Princess Valan, threatened us with blowing up Bianliang City, and wanted to build an archway for himself?"

Zhao Wu'an shook his head, "Duan Taoli is now protected by Dai Lou Duyun, and his life is safe. As for the gunpowder, I don't think there is anything Annan can do. ”

"Because of Wen Chuanyu's kid?" asked Hu Buxi.

Zhao Wu'an nodded and said, "Whoever tells me that he plans to destroy the capital of a country with gunpowder in order to avenge his personal revenge, I will think he is crazy." But Wen Chuanyu, I think he has completely done this kind of thing. ”

The most terrifying thing about Wen Chuanyu is not his superb talent, but the determination and patience to kill a person for ten years, even Zhao Wu'an thinks that he can't do this.

There are countless murderous geniuses in this world. Wen Chuanyu's talent was not in killing, but he was more dangerous and terrifying than any murderer Zhao Wu'an had ever seen.

Hu Buxi frowned and sighed: "And he's near Bianliang City, right? This is not easy to do, the ghost knows when that kid will make a move." ”

Zhao Wu'an lowered his eyebrows and thought for a moment, "I know." ”

"Huh?" Hu Buxi opened his mouth wide.

"Tomorrow is the third day of the fifth month, and he will turn this Bianliang city into a sea of fire tomorrow. Zhao Wu said quietly, "I have never guessed his actions for so many years, but this time alone, I will never be wrong." ”

As soon as he heard Zhao Wu'an report the date, Hu Buxi was stunned for a moment, and also reacted.

"Fifty-five years ago, on the fourth day of the fifth month......" he muttered.

It is Luo Jianqi's death day.

On that day fifty-five years ago, the giant sword outside the city of Remnant Sun was shocking.

And Wen Chuanyu, full of hatred, wants to turn this day fifty-five years later into the day of the burning of the city in Bianliang.
