Chapter 408: Breaking Friendship

The autumn wind and autumn rain are sad, and the endless autumn rain makes Seventeen feel particularly gloomy.

finally sent Feng Yu'er back to Kaifeng Feng Mansion, nominally to raise a fetus. But anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is because he has a heart for Du Chongwei. Du Chongwei didn't say anything to him in this matter, didn't even mention it, and rarely said anything to him again.

However, Seventeen knew that his move had touched Du Chongwei's anger, and he asked if he even refused to stay under his family members in Weizhou, how suspicious was the master and servant?

And he heard that Du Chongwei once said in private: "All the wings have grown stiff, and they all want to fly, without me Du Chongwei, I see how far I can fly!"

This shows that Du Chongwei's dissatisfaction with him is almost extreme.

In fact, among the Black Guards, Seventeen's position has been marginalized. On the contrary, Nineteen rose to prominence, completely replacing the position of Seventeen, a subordinate named Two-Three-Three, and now he is the actual number two person of the Black-clothed Guard.

"Seventeen, I don't know what to say about you!" Nineteen sighed and persuaded him, "You should know that the Lord hates his subordinates to make their own decisions. As the dead soldiers of Du Fu, we have already given our lives to the Lord from the day we entered Du Fu. The will of the Lord is our will. Don't you understand?"

Of course Seventeen understands, all along, he has been demanding of himself like this, no matter how much he doesn't want to do something, as long as Du Chongwei says a word, or even a look, he will not hesitate to do it, never asking why.

His hands were stained with the blood of countless unjust souls, and every seventeen woke up from nightmares, often thinking, and even expecting, that one day, these unjust souls would come to him for revenge, and that would be the day when he would be truly liberated.

But no, people die like lights go out, and when they die, they die, and no matter how much grievances and unwillingness they have, they will be scattered with the wind, leaving no trace. Li Fengyun once commented on him: "Although you look cold and unkind, your heart is very soft; although you are smooth and kind, you are actually much more hard-hearted than you."

If one day, you and Nineteen are going to fight to the point of life and death, even if your martial arts are higher than Nineteen, you will definitely die. ”

Will he really have that day with Nineteen?

Probably not, because if Du Chongwei really wanted to kill him, as long as he said a word, he would draw his sword and commit suicide, without having to move at all. If Du Chongwei didn't want to kill him, he wouldn't dare to kill him privately, even if one day, he had an irreconcilable conflict of interest with Nineteen.

However, Seventeen couldn't understand that his life had been handed over to Du Chongwei, why did Du Chongwei still want to hold Feng Yuan'er's life and even the lives of his children in his hands, just to control him?

No, he handed over his life to Du Chongwei because he owed him, but Feng Yuan'er didn't owe him, and his own children didn't owe him, and Seventeen didn't want Feng Yuan'er's life to be controlled by others at any time, let alone his children to follow the same path as him.

Nineteen shook his head, to be honest, he felt very sorry for Seventeen, it was a dead end, he saw it clearly, and he believed that Seventeen could also see it clearly. It's a pity, a capable and very obedient subordinate.

Originally, I thought that after worshipping Lu Jinghong as a teacher, my martial arts would distance myself from Seventeen, but to Nineteen's surprise, in fact, no, Nineteen has made rapid progress, and now it has reached the second-rate top strength, and Seventeen has also reached the second-rate top strength.

Seventeen practiced a set of swordsmanship, which suited his temperament very well, calm, and clumsy. Nineteen knew that this set of swordsmanship must have been passed on to him by Li Fengyun, for this, Nineteen was very resentful, and he also shared hardships with Li Fengyun, Nineteen didn't understand, why Li Fengyun trusted Seventeen so much, so good, but he was on guard against him in every way, although he had repeatedly plotted against Li Fengyun, but those things, Nineteen did it very secretly, and Li Fengyun couldn't know.

It's a pity that it was originally a very useful left and right hand, but it self-destructed its future.

Nineteen has always lacked patience for people who don't have much use value. Since that conversation, Nineteen has never taken the initiative to find Seventeen.

Of course, another reason is because there is an extremely important thing that Du Chongwei arranged for him to do, and this matter, now it seems, is absolutely not suitable for Seventeen to know.

However, Nineteen didn't look for Seventeen, but Seventeen came to find Nineteen, and it was thousands of miles away, from Weizhou to Zhenzhou.

"You should know that there is a problem. "Seventeen.

"What's the problem?" Nineteen's heart sank, Seventeen was actually very shrewd, and could often see things from subtleties that ordinary people couldn't see, could it be that Seventeen found something?

"Lord, Khitan, Shi Jingjiao!" Seventeen stared at Nineteen and only said seven words.

Sure enough, Seventeen guessed everything.

Nineteen sighed and said, "Seventeen, I really don't know whether to say that you are smart or stupid! Sometimes, smart people should learn to play stupid, especially at this time. It is a sin to know too much. ”

"Our lives belong to the Lord, and we should think about the Lord!" Seventeen looked blank, and didn't seem to understand Nineteen's words, but Nineteen knew, and Seventeen understood.

"You go, the Lord doesn't like his subordinates to have their own ideas. For the sake of so many years of friendship, if the Lord doesn't ask about this matter, I will try my best to hide it for you. Nineteen felt that he was worthy of Seventeen by doing this, and at the same time, at this moment, more was better than less, and he didn't believe that Seventeen would really betray Du Chongwei.

Seventeen didn't say anything more, stood up, turned and left, walked to the door, turned around again, and said to Nineteen, "No, I will persuade the Lord, that is a dead end." With that, a sword cut off a piece of the placket from the placket, spread it out respectfully in the threshold, and then left without looking back.

Looking at Seventeen's distant figure, Nineteen thought that Seventeen was really a dead end at this time. Is Seventeen really so stupid that he can't see it?

It's impossible, it's impossible not to see it with Seventeen's shrewdness, so why does he still do that? Does he think that by admonishing him with death, he can change Du Chongwei's opinion of him and win Du Chongwei's trust again? Joke, Du Chongwei is not Li Shimin, and Seventeen is not Wei Zheng.

Nineteen shook his head, not wanting to think about it anymore, he decided, since Seventeen didn't want to accept his favor, then he didn't have to hide it for Seventeen, he would write what happened just now into the secret report sent to Du Chongwei. As for the fate of Seventeen, it is no longer relevant to him.

Those who are dying need no more thought about him.

A trace of disdain flashed in Nineteen's eyes, and at the same time there was a little regret, and faintly, there was also some sentimentality.

After all, after so many years of getting along, Seventeen used to be his closest person, Seventeen had saved his life many times, and of course he had saved Seventeen many times. Many of the scars on the two were left for each other.

Now, the two have embarked on two different paths of no return, and neither will look back. The most basic trust between them also disappeared with this conversation.

Is this what it means that a gentleman breaks off friendship and does not speak ill of him?
