Ximen Wang squinted slightly, and his fingers tapping the desktop had already stopped. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The senior brother asked, "Whose orders are the horse thieves on the grassland who attacked the grain and grass of the coalition army?"
Simon Wang replied, "Me." ”
The senior brother asked, "Who transferred the more than 1,000 Chaoyang cavalry on the seaside?"
Simon Wang replied, "Me." ”
The senior brother asked, "Who wants to kill my junior brother with one punch in the mountain road?" ”
Ximen Wang replied calmly, "It's still me." ”
Senior Brother was silent for a moment, then looked at him and said, "In that case, you should return to old age." ”
Is General Simon Wang's old?
Neither the civil and military officials in Kyoto Castle nor His Majesty the Emperor would think so. This martial arts peak powerhouse is still in the strongest stage of his life, and his spiritual will has no signs of withering, and many people think that when General Xu Shi is destined to leave the stage of history because of old age and physical decline, he will be the first general in the world.
However, in the mansion of this invincible general, in this lonely and cold winter garden, the seemingly ordinary scholar in his old jacket and broken shoes said that he was old without reason or reason, and then let him return to old age.
When these words came out of the mouth of the senior brother, countless layers of lead-colored winter clouds gathered and came to the sky above Wuxian Town, covering the winter garden layer upon layer, the sky was extremely dim, and the trees in the garden were aging.
Simon looked at the senior brother with squinted eyes.
After answering many questions, he only asked one sentence: "Mr. Big wants to interfere in the government's affairs?"
Today, the senior brother wants to let Ximen Wang, the general of the empire, return to old age, does it count as interfering in the government?
As a general of the rising sun, in the face of pressure, he can also respond calmly, Ximen Wang is worthy of being the pinnacle of the world, with confidence and strength that are difficult for the world to achieve, this kind of strength is awe-inspiring.
However, with just one sentence, the senior brother destroyed all the strength of Ximen Wang.
There are many things that always seem so heavy before a decision is made, but once a decision is made, the weight of those things seems to be lost in an instant, and the wind in the garden blows and the lead cloud disappears.
Ximen Wang's feeling at this time was like this, when he said the words of Gui Lao, he suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and his knowledge of the sea and his eyes were much clearer at the same time, and he found that this was the most correct choice.
Struggling between the Dao Demon Empire, even if he is as strong as he feels, he feels physically and mentally exhausted, and he has been thinking hard about how to break through this deadlock, until this time he understands that if he abandons the glory and wealth of the world, he will not fight and do nothing as he said back then, and return to old age before he is old, this is the ending that everyone can accept.
Whether it is the Western Jin Dynasty Divine Army or His Majesty in the Imperial Palace of Kyoto City, they will tacitly allow themselves to leave the court and practice rivers and lakes of strife, not to mention that Mr. Big personally came to Wuxian Town, which faintly represents the meaning of the Dushan Sect.
"Mr. Big is really generous. Ximen looked at the senior brother and said, "When I return to Beijing at the end of autumn, I will resign from all official positions. ”
The senior brother looked at him and shook his head, and said slowly, "It's too late. ”
Ximen Wang squinted slightly, looked at his face and was silent for a long time, and then said in a deep voice: "Mr. Big, after all, I am the general of the empire, and I have countless cronies under my command, I always have to arrange their funeral, and the war between the Central Plains and the Snow Countryrs will begin after the spring, I need to stay in Wuxian Town to keep an eye on this battle." ”
The elder brother stared into his eyes, as if he wanted to hear the reason why he was staring at this battle.
Ximen Wang's eyes drooped slightly, his fingers gently stroked the tea cup, and said, "After all, I was also a Snow Countryer. ”
The senior brother got up and walked outside the garden, suddenly stopped in front of the door, and said, "You are not allowed to go to the Western Jin Dynasty." ”
The study room of the General's Mansion is in the depths of the Winter Garden, with all kinds of weapons displayed on the wall shelves, rare pen and ink books, a sense of slaughter echoes in the meantime, the dim sky outside the window penetrates, and it is instantly suppressed and cannot move.
The military advisor Gu Xi stood at the desk, silent, his hands clenched in his sleeves sometimes clenched, sometimes released, I don't know how long he struggled, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "My subordinates are unwilling." ”
Ximen looked at the ink-stained letter paper on the desk, and said indifferently: "If you can't get the book of heaven, I am a mortal, mortals must resign themselves to fate, and returning to the old pastoral is already the best life I can see, I sent a letter to Kyoto to voluntarily dismiss the military and return to the old, I believe that Your Majesty will always give me some face, and I believe that both Xu Shi and the military department will fight for it on the basis of reason, as for if you are worried that the Western Jin Dynasty Divine Army is looking for you to reply, you can return to the old age with the general." ”
Gu Xi's eyes showed a look of emotion, and then he was moved and turned into sentimentality, and said with a self-deprecating smile: "Back then, I was originally a monitor sent by the general's side, but who knew that it would be a few years later, and I became a real master and servant, and the general can return to old age, but I have to go back to restore my life, and I don't know if I will have the opportunity to meet my husband." ”
Ximen looked at him and said: "Don't worry too much, Your Majesty in Kyoto City and those civil and military officials, as long as I am willing to peacefully hand over the military power in my hands, they will not do any more calculations, and I believe they will not have too much dispute with the Dushan Sect for a retired general." ”
Gu Xi nodded.
Ximen looked at the partition on the window and the dim sky that came through for a long time, and was silent for a long time, his thick eyebrows gradually frowned, and he said slowly: "Mr. Big is indeed a generous and benevolent person as I expected, but for some reason that the man named Xu Chen has such a strong killing intent towards me, he wants me to die very much." ”
With the exit of this sentence, the solemn intention in the study was great.
As a peak martial arts powerhouse, how terrifying is his sensitivity to qi, Ximen Wang can clearly perceive the true intention of the senior brother, naturally no matter how Xu Chen hides it, he can also feel the murderous intent in his eyes, not to mention that at the Winter Garden banquet at that time, Xu Chen did not hide his true intentions at all.
Gu Xi glanced out the window and said in a low voice: "I reported to the general last time, Lin Ling went back to Kyoto City on his last trip before his death and vaguely found out something. ”
He was silent for a moment and then said: "Over the years, I have killed too many people in this world, and there are even more people who want to kill me to take revenge, whether that gentleman really has a vendetta with me is not too important, His Majesty and the Divine Army are happy to see me return to old age safely, especially the Dushan Sect has already stated that there is anyone else in this world who dares to kill me, and no one will allow this kind of variable to exist." ”
Gu Xi remembered the gaze on his back when he welcomed the other party into the park, and after thinking silently for a long time, he whispered: "That gentleman is weird, at least he should check it." ”
Simon looked at him sarcastically and asked, "What if you find out that he is that person?"
Gu Xi said: "Even if the imperial court won't care about this matter, there is always a way to solve it." ”
Ximen Wang said indifferently: "Lin Ling tried to kill him on the grassland, although I didn't know it in advance, but this time it will be counted on me, I tried to kill him again for the sake of Tianshu on the seaside, this is the second time, do you think you will really leave me a third chance to kill?"
Gu Xi was silent for a moment and said, "There may be countless more times, and it is impossible for the imperial court and the Dushan Sect to count every time on the general, that is a very unreasonable thing. ”
Simon looked at him in silence and did not speak.
Xu Chen stood by the window and looked at the snow trees in the garden, thinking that in a remote border fortress like Wuxian Town, such a beautiful garden could be constructed, I really don't know how much of the military money drawn by the imperial court to the Northeast Frontier Army was embezzled by Ximen Wang, and I don't know if the gold and silver offered to him by the Western Jin Dynasty Divine Army have also been turned into the rockery in the garden.
The expression on his face was calm when he thought about these things, but in fact, his mind was still stuck in the conversation in the Winter Garden, and the shock caused by those secrets could not be eliminated in a short time.
Ximen Wang, the remnant of the Demon Sect, became a powerful general in the Chaoyang Empire, and even became a guest of the Western Jin Dynasty Divine Army, willing to be a dog of the Divine Army to slaughter innocents in Kyoto City and the border, all of this He just wanted to hide the identity of his sister, and didn't want anyone to know that Queen Chaoyang was also a member of the Demon Sect!
Xu Chen supported the slightly cold windowsill with both hands, turned around and looked at the senior brother in the house, thinking that in the Winter Garden before, it was this scholar with an ordinary face and no strong aura, and with just a simple sentence, the most powerful general in the empire, Ximen Wang, was willing to give up the power in his hands and return to old age, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
The brother-sister relationship between Ximen Wang and the Empress Dowager shocked him, but the strength of the Dushan Sect and Senior Brother that he could experience in what he saw and heard today was even more shocking, and he couldn't help but ask, "Senior Brother, how strong are you?"
The senior brother was holding the book and reading, listening to Xu Chen's question, slowly put the scroll away, looked up at him by the window, was silent for a moment and then smiled and said: "Powerful is actually just a relative concept, for example, the goshawk is to the ant, it seems that the goshawk is strong, but the goshawk will never fight with the ant, so the ant is not weak." ”
Xu Chen spread his hands and said, "Senior brother, what you said is too profound, I don't understand it. ”
The senior brother smiled, put the book back into his waist, slowly paced to the window and stood side by side with him, looked at the frost tree ice pool in the winter garden, and said slowly: "This world of red makeup or plain is actually artificially divided into many different worlds, such as the palace and the market, such as the Huanghuang Divine Army and the dilapidated Taoist temple, such as the so-called unknowable place and the real life full of fireworks. For example, if the Lord can teach an apprentice like Ye Tianming, how can he be strong? However, these people will never ...... At least they haven't been seen in the human world until now, so they're goshawks overlooking ants, powerful but won't hurt you. ”
Xu Chen asked curiously, "What is the place of Taixuguan?"
The senior brother replied seriously: "Taixu Guan is a Taoist temple. ”
Xu Chen waited carefully to listen to the follow-up, but there was no follow-up.
He smiled helplessly, and suddenly asked, "Does Simon count a goshawk or an ant?"
"He was supposed to be a goshawk in the sky of the wasteland, but unfortunately he was chained by himself, and since then he has become a sheepdog domesticated by hunters, and then he can never break free." ”
Xu Chen was silent for a moment and then said, "Is there a chain tied to the strong man who has become a guest of the Divine Army?"
The senior brother replied seriously: "Ximen Wang is worried about the queen, relatively speaking, it is naturally more difficult, but what you said is not wrong, junior brother, the Divine Army Keqing naturally has its own difficulties. ”
Xu Chen thought about Duanmu Rong's teacher, frowned and said, "The same is true for Yuxuanmen?"
A very simple paragraph, but it made Xu Chen's heart move slightly.
The words such as rules and freedom in this passage made him vaguely feel something, especially the last sentence that life is relatively free and happy, and it made him have a lot of ideas.
"The strongest person in the world must also abide by the rules...... Xu Chen's eyes lit up, rubbed his hands and asked excitedly: "Senior brother, who is stronger?"
The senior brother looked at him in confusion and said, "Of course he is better than me. ”
Xu Chen was stunned and said, "What kind of answer is this? ”
The senior brother seriously thought about what the mouth cannon meant, and after thinking for a long time, he thought that he probably understood what Xu Chen wanted to express, and explained seriously: "I'm not good at fighting. ”
This answer once again made Xu Chen feel speechless.
Senior Brother looked at him and asked curiously, "Little Senior Brother?"
Xu Chen waved his hand: "It's nothing, senior brother, I just haven't completely gotten used to the way you speak." ”
The senior brother suddenly realized and said, "I see. ”
