Chapter 21: How can the past be like smoke?

In the middle of the night, the lamp on the table danced a spark, suddenly brightened, and then dimmed.

Shen Yi still sat in place and didn't move as before, no one knew what he was thinking.

There was a few gentle knocks on the door, and someone pushed it open and walked in. The steps that walked in were hesitant, as if the person himself was also conflicted, not knowing whether to come or not.

Shen Yi sighed secretly and said, "It's so late at night, hasn't Shopkeeper Wu slept yet?" he said as he turned around.

The person who came in was really Wu San.

Wu San's face lost the confidence and pride when he watched the sky, and he showed a look of panic, as if he was still the cautious innkeeper. He walked to the table with his hands in front of him, like a child who had done something wrong, but there were too many experiences and thoughts in the wrinkles on his face.

Shen Yi glanced up at him, then at his left hand, which was no longer pretending to be disabled, and said, "Please take a seat." ”

Wu San sat down slowly, wanting to say something, but opened his mouth but didn't say it.

Shen Yi said, "Are you finally willing to come out to see me?"

They had met many times before, and the meaning of Shen Yi's words naturally did not mean that they usually met.

Wu San smiled reluctantly and said, "Yes, I'm still here after all." ”

Shen Yi touched his chest and said, "I brought what you wanted." Where's your stuff?"

Wu San gradually calmed down and said, "The thing is here. Shen Daxia, can I take a look at your things?"

Shen Yi looked at him for a long time, slowly reached into his arms, and took out the holy decree. The decree was untouched, with a seal wrapped around it.

Wu San looked at the holy decree and stretched out his hand, but he didn't take it, he just touched Shen Yi's hand, and hurriedly retracted his hand. His lips trembled, his emotions were unusually agitated, and he seemed unable to believe what he saw in his eyes.

Shen Yi put the holy decree on the table, pressed it with his hand, and said, "The holy decree is already here, you just need to hand over the list to me, and the holy decree is yours." ”

Wu San muttered: "Finally waited for this day, finally arrived on this day, but is it worth all the effort?" He stared blankly at the Holy Decree, as if he had fallen deeply into the past.

Shen Yi frowned and said, "Shopkeeper Wu, please hand over the list." ”

His voice was not high, but deep and powerful.

Wu Sanru woke up from a dream, raised his head to look at Shen Yi, and said bitterly: "I have everything I should have, but I still have the last step, I can't hand over the list to you now, I will naturally give it to you when the time comes." ”

Shen Yi's eyes flashed with anger, looked at him and said, "Shopkeeper Wu, this matter is very important, and it is not a child's play. ”

Wu San laughed loudly, his face was distorted, both ugly and terrifying, as if suddenly, he had completely changed as a person, and gasped and said: "I know, I know, this matter is important to Shen Daxia, but it is equally important to me, so I have to finish everything before I can give Shen Daxia what he wants." You and I have been waiting for so long, so why bother waiting a little longer? Please rest assured Shen Daxia, I will definitely keep the list properly, and please Shen Daxia not lose the holy decree. ”

Shen Yi looked at him, as if he couldn't believe that he would have such a scheming and cunning side, but if a person clings to a plan for too long, will he become distorted?

In the blink of an eye, Shen Yi had calmed down, quietly watched him stand up, and did not stop him from leaving, but when he walked to the door, he suddenly asked: "I heard that you and Li Lilong, the head of Li Du, have known each other for many years, he has helped you a lot, and he has also painstakingly concealed his identity for you for many years." ”

Wu San was startled, but he didn't look back, and said slowly after a long time: "You know?"

"It's just an inference from some sources. Shen Yi said.

Wu San's shoulders and back tightened, his fists clenched, although he tried his best to control it, his voice was still trembling, and said: "He helped me a lot, but I also saved his life, otherwise where would he have a chance to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions?"

"Since you are such friends, how can you bear to kill him?" Shen Yi asked, his voice already stern.

Wu San still looked like he was not giving up, and said: "How can I bear to kill him? Of course I can't bear to kill him, but why can't he fulfill my last step? I see that my plan is about to be completed, and my ideal is about to be realized, why can't he fulfill me? It's just a list of collaborators with Western Xia, and I won't hand it over to the imperial court, why is he so stubborn? I want to go back to Jiangnan, and I must take my family back." I have sacrificed so much for this goal that no one can stop me!I will not allow anyone to stop me!" he said, his voice sharpened and shrill like madness.

Shen Yi looked at his stiff back coldly, and said: "Even if you hand over the list, Shen will not let you go, Skynet is restored, if you kill Li Lilong, Shen will definitely arrest you and bring you to justice." ”

Wu San's laughter was as ugly as crying, "I know, I know, the moment I stabbed the knife into Li Lilong's heart, I knew that I would definitely pay for him in the future." Everything I do is not for me, but for the future of my people, and I am not sorry to die, and I am willing to die. ”

Shen Yi looked at his twitching and restless back, and suddenly asked, "Is your Moonlight Clan's surname Guo?"

Wu Sanhuo turned around, his eyes were wild, he stared directly at Shen Yi, and asked sharply, "How do you know? How do you know?"

Shen Yi looked at him with disgust and sympathy in his eyes, and said: "I am also from Jiangnan, and I have heard that the Guo family is good at Xiangtian, so I spread the remarks at the beginning, saying that it has been through the will of heaven, and that a new dynasty should be established and self-established as the emperor, in order to confuse the people." ”

Wu San gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, my Guo family established the Great Zhou Dynasty, and I could have enjoyed the foundation of Wandai, who knows, ......"

"Who knew that the talent withered, first passed on the Chai family, and then was mutiny by Taizu Chen Qiao, and the yellow robe was added to the body and took over the world. Shen Yi said.

"Not bad. Why did Song Taizu and my ancestor not have a lifelong friendship? Why was he so vicious? Since I was sensible, what I thought day and night was to plan to return to the Central Plains and build a new foundation. Wu San's face was hideous.

Shen Yi said: "But your Guo family was originally moved to the Chai family, and although the Chai family lost the country, they also won the imperial title and became the vassal king, and received all the favor. ”

Wu San sneered and said: "The Chai family originally had an agreement with the ancestors, once my Guo family male Hua grows up, he will pass on the throne to my Guo family, how do you know that once the Chai family gets the throne, they will break the contract and not recognize it, but suppress my Guo family everywhere, and finally lose the world of my family! As for what became a vassal king and received all the favor? Under the people, I have to bend my face and flatter, where is the majesty of the king of the world?"

"Do you want to rebel?" Shen Yi said.

"Hehe, if there is a chance, who doesn't want to rebel? Who doesn't want to win the world? Those Chai family members who stay in the court, who recognize thieves as kings, are not descendants of the Guo family at all. My surname Guo is a family, after giving way to the Chai family, I went to be the king of Jiangnan, and I could have enjoyed the wealth and glory forever, and I was at ease, who knew that the Zhao family not only took the world of the surname Chai, but also led the troops to the south and abolished the title of my ancestor Jiangnan King. My Guo family was naturally unwilling to give in, but they failed to raise an army, were expelled from the Central Plains, and exiled to this desert and desolate land. ”

"Could it be that all of you Moonlight Clan dream of returning to the Central Plains and rebuilding your hegemony like you?" Shen Yi asked.

"That's a good question. My clan has been here for a long time, and the soft bones of those younger generations only know that they eat and drink here, and they have long forgotten the hatred and ambition of their ancestors to the clouds, only I have been persistent, and I have been working hard, I must bring the people of my clan back to their hometown. ”

Shen Yi didn't speak, looking at him like looking at a madman.

Wu San's excited emotions gradually calmed down, and suddenly he looked like an old man whose hope had become dim, tears were running horizontally, and he stammered to Shen Yi: "I still have something to explain, and I can't die yet." Shen Daxia, you must win tomorrow's competition, if you win, I will go with you, the list is yours, otherwise, I would have hidden the list in another secret place, if you handed me over to that Ou Jingtian, then no one would get the list. ”

Wu San stumbled open the door and left, but Shen Yi was still sitting at the table, but his mood couldn't be calm no matter what. He followed Lord Yuwen to solve countless cases, but he always couldn't understand why some people can be kind and upright, while others can be insidious and murderous, for the sake of some selfish interests, he does not hesitate to do crazy things, and does not hesitate to harm innocent lives?
