Nightfall Chapter 130: Everyone has a chain between their necks

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 wheel in the garden will waver and disappear. not see.

Xiahou felt this way at this time. After he said the words of Guilao, he suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. He knew the sea and his eyes were clear at the same time, and found that this was the most correct choice.

Struggling repeatedly between the Dao Demon Empire, even if he is as strong as he is physically and mentally exhausted, he has been thinking hard about how to break through this deadlock, and only then did he understand that if he drags on the prosperity of the world, Just as the Master said back then, do not fight and do nothing, and return to old age before getting old. This is the ending that everyone can accept.

No matter the Xiling Temple or the majesty in the Chang'an City Palace, he will silently allow himself to leave the controversial hall and practice arena. What's more, Mr. Da came to Tuyang City himself, and the faintly represents the meaning of academy.

"Mr. Da is really generous." Xiahou looked at the big brother and said: "I will resign from all official positions when I return to Beijing at the end of autumn."

The big brother looked at him and shook his head, and said slowly: "It's too late."

Xiahou squinted slightly and looked at his face for a long time. After a long silence, he said in a deep voice: "Mr. Da, I am a general of the empire after all. I have countless cronies under his command. I always arrange for their funeral. The war with the deserted people will begin after the beginning of spring, and I need to stay in Tuyang City and watch this battle."

The big brother stared into his eyes, seeming to want to hear the reason why he stared at this battle.

Xiahou's eyes drooped, his fingers gently stroked the tea cup, and said: "After all, I was once a barren man."

The big brother got up and walked outside the garden, and suddenly stopped in front of the door and said: "You are not allowed to go to Xiling."

The study room of the General's Mansion is in the depths of the Winter Garden. Various weapons are displayed on the wall shelf. There are few pen and ink books, and a sense of killing echoes in the meantime.

Sergeant Gu Xi stood silent at the desk. The hands caged in his sleeves sometimes clenched and sometimes loosened. After struggling for a long time, he said with a low voice, "Subordinates are not reconciled."

Xiahou looked at the still-stained letter paper on the desk, and said indifferently: "If I can't get the heavenly book, I will be a mortal, and a mortal will have to go back to the old pastoral. It is already the best life I can see. I sent a letter to Chang'an voluntarily dismissing the military post and returning to the old age. I believe that your Majesty will always give me some face and military affairs. I believe that both Xu Shi and the military will fight for reasons. As for you, if you are worried about the Xiling Temple looking for your reply, you can contact this We will go back together."

The touch of emotion appeared in Gu Xi's eyes and immediately turned into sentimental. He laughed at himself and said: "Back then, I was a monitor sent by the temple next to the general. Who knows that after a few years, I became a real master and servant. , The general can be old, but I have to go back to Xiling to return to life, and I don’t know if there is still a chance to meet my husband.

Xiahou looked at him and said, “Don’t worry too much. As long as my Majesty and the civil and military officials in Chang’an City are willing to hand over the military power in their hands peacefully, they won’t do any more care. As for the temple, this is after all The college’s proposal, I believe they will not have too much dispute with the college for a retired general."

Gu Xi nodded.

Xiahou looked at the grille on the window and the dim sky that came through for a long time. He was silent for a long time and his thick eyebrows gradually frowned. He said slowly: "Mr. College is really a generous and kind person as I expected, but I don’t know why. Mr. Thirteen named Ning Que has such a strong killing intent to me. He misses me very much."

As these words were exported, the sense of killing in the study became a big deal.

As a powerful martial artist, how terrifying is his sensitivity to Qi, Xiahou can clearly perceive the true intention of the big brother, naturally no matter how Ning Que conceals it, he can also feel the murderous intent in his eyes. What's more, at the Winter Garden Banquet, Ning Que didn't conceal his true intentions at all.

Gu Xi glanced out of the window and said in a low voice: "Last time I reported to the general, Lin Ling went back to Chang'an City for the last time before his death and found some things vaguely about the death of Yushi Zhang Yiyi. The clue points to Mr. Thirteen. Lin Ling wanted to kill him on the grassland, which is probably related to this judgment."

Gu Xi's eyes drooped slightly, and he said slowly: "The case of General Xuanwei's treason fourteen years ago was because his Majesty returned to Beijing early and the Xiling Temple suddenly stopped, but not completely resolved all the problems. I can confirm that some people still I’m alive, so I’m wondering if this Mr. Thirteen...will be related to that matter."

Xiahou is very aware of the investigation results of the great teacher Lin Ling under his command in Chang'an. He also knows the incidents that can link the censor Zhang Yiyi to the strange dead figures and himself, except There was only the case of Yanjing Tucun in the case of treason in General Xuanwei's Mansion.

He was silent for a moment and said: "I have killed too many people in this world these years, and more people want to kill me for revenge. Whether that Mr. Thirteen really has a grudge with me is not too important. His Majesty and the temple are happy to see me return old safely, especially since the academy has stated that there is anyone in this world who dares to kill me, and no one will say that such variables exist."

Gu Xi remembered the glowing eyes that he felt when he was welcoming the other party into the kindergarten. After thinking in silence for a long time, he whispered: "Mr. Mou Shilan is weird, at least you should check it."

Xiahou gave him a satirical look and asked: "If he is found to be that person, what can I do?"

Gu Xi said: "Even if the court does not care about this season, there is always a way to solve it."

Xiahou said with an indifferent expression: "Lin Ling tried to kill him on the grassland. Although I didn't know it beforehand, it would be counted on me this time. I tried to kill him again for the heavenly book by the Hulan Sea. It’s the second time, do you think the academy will really give me a third chance to kill the master’s direct disciple?"

After a moment of silence, Gu Xi said: "Perhaps there will be countless times. It is impossible for the court and academy to count each time as the general. It is very unreasonable."

Xiahou looked at him silently, without speaking.

Ning Que stood by the window and looked at the snowy trees in the garden, thinking about how such a beautiful garden could be constructed in a remote frontier such as Tuyang City. I really don’t know how much military expenditure the imperial court gave to the Northeast Frontier Army. Being embezzled by Xiahou, I don't know if the gold and silver that Xiling Temple gave him has also turned into the rockery in the garden.

When thinking about these things, the expression on his face was very calm, 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.

Xiahou, the remnant of the demon sect, became a powerful general in the Tang Empire and a guest of the Xiling Temple. He was willing to be a dog of the temple to slaughter innocents in Chang'an City and Yanjing. All of this was just to hide his sister I don’t want anyone to know that the Empress of the Tang Dynasty is also a member of the Demon Sect!

Ning Que held the cold window sill with both hands, turned around and looked at the big brother in the house, thinking that in the winter garden before, it was this scholar with an ordinary face and no strong aura. He only used a single sentence. It made the empire's most powerful General Xiahou willing to give up his power and glory and return to the old, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

The sibling relationship between Xiahou and the Queen’s Empress shocked him. However, the strength of the academy and the elder brother that can be experienced in what he has seen and heard today is even more shocking. He couldn’t help asking: "Brother, you How strong is it?"

The big brother was reading the book in his hand, listening to Ning Que’s question, slowly closing the book, looking up at him by the window, after a moment of silence, smiling and saying: "Strong is actually just a relative concept. For example, to ants, goshawks seem to be powerful, but goshawks will never fight with ants, so ants are not weak."

Ning Que said, "Brother, what you said is too profound, I don't understand."

The big brother smiled, put the book back to his waist, walked slowly to the window and stood side by side with him, looking at the frosty tree ice pool in the winter garden, and slowly said: "This is either red makeup or plain The wrapped world is actually divided into many different worlds artificially, such as the imperial palace and the city, such as the huanghuang temple and the ruined Taoist temple, such as the so-called unknowable place and the real life full of fireworks. According to the first lecture of the Xuankong Temple , There are countless flying ants bathing in the light, what realm do you think this first person has reached? Another example is that the master Zhishouguanguan can teach a disciple like Ye Su, how strong should he be? But these people will never Lan'at least so far has never appeared in the world' then they are goshawks overlooking the ants, although powerful, they will not harm you."

Ning Que asked curiously: "Where is Zhishouguan?"

The big brother replied seriously: "Zhishou Temple is a Taoist Temple."

Ning Que waited carefully for the follow-up, but there was no follow-up.

He smiled helplessly, then suddenly asked: "Xiahou is a goshawk or an ant?"

The big brother sighed: "He was supposed to be a goshawk in the sky of the wasteland, but unfortunately he was chained by himself. From then on, he became a shepherd dog domesticated by hunters, and then he Can't break free anymore."

Ning Que was silent for a moment and said: "Is there a chain tied to his body to become a strong man in the temple of Rongqing?"

Senior brother replied earnestly: "Xiahou is worried about the queen. Relatively speaking, it is more difficult. However, what you said, brother, is not wrong. The temple guest Qing naturally has its own difficulties."

Ning Que thought of Mo Shanshan's teacher, frowning and said, "Could it be that the same is true for Liu Bai and Wang Shusheng?"

The big brother said with emotion: "The sword sage Liu Bai is known as the world’s number one powerhouse. Even the temple master must treat him with courtesy. However, Haotian’s divine glory shines on the world, as long as you live in Haotian’s world. Here, there are always some rules that need to be followed. Fortunately, you and I were born in an academy. Relatively free and happy."

A very simple paragraph, but Ning Que's heart moved slightly.

The words such as rules and freedom in this passage made him feel something vaguely, especially the last sentence that was born in a college is relatively free and happy, and it gave him a lot of ideas.

(There is one more chapter, maybe later, this time I will go out to eat a bowl of porridge, and I have been busy writing about things and that personal matter recently, some get angry, my mouth feels upset, so I feel upset, alas.)
