86, the courage is fateful, but it is too late to regret!
Everything started according to Banqin's instructions, and it was carried out step by step, and the result did not make any difference! Without wasting a single soldier, hundreds of elites of the Demon Palace were slaughtered, even if it was Banqin who was presiding, it made everyone feel shocked!
However, compared to most people's admiration for Banqin's intelligence, there are also some people who have more and more worries in their hearts! Because they feel that although Banqin can play with the future enemy, he has not the slightest tendency to turn from defense to offense, which means that he is still afraid of the enemy!
In fact, it is not difficult to understand that Yu Fangsheng is powerful, but he is still just an image in people's hearts, and not many people have seen him, let alone understand him!
Once Yu Fangsheng finally made up his mind, the Central Plains Martial Arts did not have any advantage at all! Because the opponent's biggest concern now was that he would suddenly fight hard, but even if he didn't fight for this life, how long would he be able to support it? Once he ran out of life, Yu Fangsheng would no longer have any scruples, how could a person like him with huge ambitions be easily delayed by a little so-called self-esteem?
Gen Yue has always been known for his resourcefulness in the Demon Palace, but the only thing he miscalculated was that Banqin happened to calculate everything with his invincible mentality.
In fact, he did choose a very favorable place to hide, the road in the middle of the mountain is winding and horizontal, surrounded by mountains on all sides, as long as all the roads can be identified in advance, this is definitely an excellent place to attack and retreat, and can set traps at any time.
However, Banqin expected that this person would act cautiously and thoroughly, and he would definitely be prepared for his sudden appearance and be prepared for a complete retreat! Moreover, Gen Yue must have ascertained the combat effectiveness of the Tianxin Sect before. This sect, which is known as the most powerful sect in the whole world, is actually the vast majority of rehabilitated ordinary people.
Therefore, Banqin used these ordinary people with only some strength to block most of the enemy's retreat and force them to the desperate path he wanted them to take. And in the end, for Gen Yue, who had already found out all the directions, of course he knew what would await him on the only "way out" in front of him. But what's the solution?
Moreover, in one night, less than one-tenth of the troops that swept through southern Xinjiang remained, but they had never seen the true face of the enemy. can turn the opponent's heaven into hell, Banqin's insidious cunning has reached such a point, no wonder the palace master Yu Fangsheng will also be so jealous of him!
Walking in front of him helplessly, Gen Yue stared deeply at this young man who should have been the backbone of his sect, but now he has become the only strong enemy, and the indescribable melancholy in his heart!
"I said a long time ago, even if it's just a tool, at least you can master it!, but he didn't listen, and wanted to use Snow Creek to find a way for him to make the most of your value. But what was the result? Not to mention you, even his own apprentice was not controlled in the end? This battle was actually lost from the beginning!"
Banqin listened quietly and smiled: "I agree with you, but for Yu Fangsheng, at best, it can only let him get the world, but he can't have it forever." So, he does have more foresight than you!"
"But it's a pity! Most of the people who look too far will not reach the end!"
"Indeed, it's a pity......"
"Banqin, since I'm dead, I don't think about any way to live. But there's one thing I still don't understand, can you let me die?"
Banqin nodded lightly: "The mother and son of Snow City are indeed deliberately let go of them! Because only in this way can the Demon Palace be restless from now on!"
With a contemptuous smile, Gen Yue shook his head: "Don't talk about me about this, Yu Fangsheng himself should also understand! What I want to ask is, is the person who pretended to be him back to the Divine Palace to make trouble, is it ...... you instigated?"
Banqin listened and stared at him deeply, and secretly thought in his heart: "You also found out?"
"This matter is indeed a foreshadowing in your favor in the long run! But think about it carefully, if you can't cure the blood poison, and you will end up with Yu Fangsheng...... Maybe that's why you never took the initiative, right?"
"You probably didn't tell Yu Fangsheng about this?"
"If it's no longer between the two of you, what's the matter?"
Banqin nodded slowly, in fact, since Yin Yaoji told him about this matter, he has always tied a knot in his heart, and he has not been able to untie it so far! Originally, the move he played in the Demon Palace was not just a certain person. It can make Yin Yaoji, or Yu Mohan, or Yu Cheng, or even Yu Fangsheng himself.
However, the sudden appearance of the person who pretended to be Yu Fangsheng made his entire layout more pertinent all of a sudden, and at the same time he lost his ability to respond to sudden accidents! No one knew who the fake Yu Fangsheng was, let alone its purpose. Even as Gen Yue said, this foreshadowing is only beneficial to Banqin in the long run, but only if his blood poison can be lifted!
However, it is useless to pursue these now, except for Gen Yue's death without regrets, there is no way to talk about who loses and who wins! It is just the first time that the Central Plains Martial Arts has completely defeated the opponent, which can indeed greatly boost the morale of the entire Jianghu.
The White Tiger Gang was originally a rabble, and many of them were forced to join. Now it can be said that the trees are falling and scattered, but the green forest road is even more messy! However, at least it will not become a burden ...... itself!
Back at Yixia Mountain Villa, Xuexi can already do and speak, but her body is still very weak, but this situation is enough to make people happy!
Seeing that the apprentice is at least solid on the surface, and there are more vicissitudes of life, it is obvious that he has endured hardships, but it is bound to increase his experience. Xuexi felt pity and emotion in her heart!
"It's hard to have everything on your shoulders these days, right?"
Although it is just an ordinary greeting, it is rare in Xuexi's decades of life. When the ladies heard this, they were even more convinced that their husbands cared for this only apprentice!
But Banqin was raised by him after all, and he was quite uncomfortable with the current atmosphere!
"What are you doing at such an age, just take care of your body, don't always nag!"
Although the words are not good, everyone also understands that this pair of masters and apprentices have the same temperament, and they don't like this kind of superficial work, especially unwilling to show their emotions in front of people. But the care for each other is so obvious, it makes everyone relatively unhappy!
Liu Suyin smiled and said: "Okay! You're just a little better, you need to rest more! Banqin raised his eyebrows for Wulin this time, and he also had a good rest! I went to cook a few specialty dishes tonight, and we haven't sat down for a family banquet for a long time......
Speaking of the "family banquet", Liu Suyin herself couldn't help but feel gloomy! A lifetime of hard work and hard work can't be exchanged for a human happiness, what can make her more sad for an old man?
At the dinner, Huo Yunfei talked about the battle of the Tianxin Sect, and he was foaming at the mouth and elated, praising Banqin as omniscient and omnipotent as a fairy!
Now, even if Xueshang has always been selfish, she has to admit that among her many children and grandchildren, which one can be compared with her husband's apprentice?
After dinner, Kenshin didn't care about the eyes of others, and went to a quiet place with half a piano. Everyone looked at each other, but no one would blame this girl for not knowing the general situation!
Banqin can no longer experience the original warmth from Jian Xin, and when Xue Xi asked him to find his heart, he had already understood that it was just a natural idea that he had forgotten, not Jian Xin!
And there may indeed be some innate connection between himself and her, but since he met Yin Yaoji, Yu Mohan and his daughter, he understands that it is not the inseparable emotion that he thought before!
It's just that Kenshin probably won't understand all this, because although the environment in which they have lived since childhood is also lonely, she has been cared for and grown up by two kind old men after all. And he grew up in simple loneliness and bloody rain.
In other words, when Kenshin believes in the heavenly design between each other, it is unchangeable for her for a lifetime!
"You've been out for so long this time, and you don't have anything to say to me when you come back?"
Banqin couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard this greasy and expectant complaint, although it was a beauty hugging, but all he felt in his heart was the depression that made it difficult for him to breathe!
"You...... Are you alright......?"
Raising his head and looking at him resentfully, Kenshin's eyes were full of sadness and doubt: "Why?"
"Huh, what, why?"
"Why are you getting colder and colder to me? Am I no longer the most important person in your heart? Have you forgotten everything you said at ......the Baolian Temple?"
Looking at the sadness on her face and the reproachful eyes, Banqin couldn't help but feel a faint sadness in her heart: "Kenshin! I have never forgotten what I said, but there are some things that I have to face reality! Maybe we were not us from the beginning, and the more I experienced, the more I realized that I had to see everything that was real." I have responsibilities that I have to take on and I have no choice whether I want to or not. And you're right, I can't promise you anything! All I can say is, no matter what the outcome, I hope you can live well!"
Kenshin looked at him faintly, as if she was secretly chewing on his words! It's just that she is innocent by nature, even if she kills people only because she is simply out of a different position, or even just because she knows that those are the enemies of the half-piano!
Suspicion comes from not getting the tenderness she hoped for, and the vinegar is just an illusion in ignorance, in fact, she never thinks that Banqin may change her mind about herself, and this is the only pillar of her survival!
"You know I've always had you alone in my heart, and I'll admit that I'm a little cautious sometimes, but that's because I care too much about you. But don't worry, I know you have big things to do, and I won't add to the burden. As long as you promise me, at least when you have time, even a little hint, let me know that you still have me in your heart, okay?"
Banqin nodded bitterly when he heard this, what else could he say? Jian Xin was just coveting the warmth that he thought he could feel in his arms, and he didn't want to explore his sincerity!
The master and apprentice, who have been together for 20 years, suddenly found that it was the first time that they sat down to drink tea and chat with each other. When I look at each other, I feel a kind of regretful bitterness!
"Am I a failure?"
"What?"
"I've been the leader of the martial arts alliance for fifty years, but I haven't accomplished anything! Once I am in danger, this martial arts is still so vulnerable! And I haven't been able to be a good husband and father, and even the only apprentice can only let him bear the responsibility that should be mine! You say, am I a very failure?"
Taking a sip of tea, Banqin nodded: "Indeed!"
"You still confess the same! But sometimes you don't need to be so honest, after all, it's still quite hurtful! Especially for women, you have to coax when you should coax!"
Banqin gently looked away: "Come to someone's house, the dignity of the teacher ......"
Smiling, Xuexi sighed softly: "To tell the truth, accepting you as an apprentice is the greatest pride of my life! Even if there is no talent among my children, it is only a personal fate, I can see it! Even if one day I will lose to the enemy, it is nothing, because the world is not just a heavy burden, otherwise I would have committed suicide early! However, there is still a regret in my heart that can never be made up!"
Thinking secretly, Banqin looked into the distance: "Is it the blank spiritual seat there?"
Xuexi nodded leisurely: "Yes! I never deny that I am not a dedicated person! But I have never been picky about them. It's just that I've ruled the world all my life, but in the end I can't protect the people I love the most. I didn't even have the face to erect a monument to her, and I didn't dare to admit that I loved her! Do you know? The remorse and death at that moment not only made me regret it for the rest of my life, but also made me not have the courage to face the wife who gave everything for herself and gave birth to children, and I couldn't really care for my own flesh and blood ......!"
Quietly listening to the old man's regrets! Banqin didn't feel any waves, maybe the experience and age were not enough, but he could understand that it must be a feeling that was not easy to bear.
"In the eyes of outsiders, I am unruly and chic and free, but who can understand the remorse in my heart? I have caused more regrets for one regret, and finally found that not only did I not make my heart feel a little better, but I misled others and myself! Do you know? What I lose and what I gain can never be equal......
After a while, Banqin shook his head bitterly and smiled: "I'm different from you! At least you still have time to regret and reminisce, but I ......."
"No! It doesn't make a difference! Seventy years is a lifetime, and twenty years can make a lifetime. The same regret will not be due to the length of time, you ask yourself, even if you die at this moment, you really have no attachment to everything? Even if one day you end everything and can live peacefully, you can really face everything without regrets?"
Sighing lightly, Banqin raised his head to drink a toast, looked directly at the old man and asked: "Then what can I do? How do you want me to ......? Speak your heart, let the painful person suffer, the disappointed person will be disappointed, and the person who will regret it will regret it for life? I don't run away from anything, it's just that I don't want to use other people's courage to face my problems! I am not afraid of death at all, but I never want others to bear the consequences for me......
Watching the apprentice who hesitated because of courage and cowardly because of responsibility went away. Xuexi's heart was full of sadness! He could understand the apprentice's mood at the moment, but he also knew that when a person found remorse, the sadness at this moment was actually not worth mentioning!
One day you will understand that the consequences will not disappear because of your burden. But by that time, I'm afraid it's already too late......"
