Martial Cultivator

The oil lamp in the tavern went out, and the guard stood up and glanced outside the door. The tavern was already in a mess.

A woman came out of the backyard and looked at the martial artist who was rising in the sun, silently.

The guardian looked at the woman and suddenly asked, "Is he also an old person affected by that old incident?"

The woman nodded numbly and then asked, "Your Majesty, the Guardian, wants to kill me and eradicate the roots?"

There was no emotion in her eyes, and she looked a little dull. She had spent more than ten years in the divine capital. If she was afraid of death, she would not stay here forever and would have left long ago.

The guard narrowed his eyes. He had no intention of killing this woman. He had also experienced the old incident personally and knew that many of them were actually affected for no reason. It was just that when a new king ascended the throne, he always had to do something, thinking that In order to stabilize the imperial power, let alone someone like Emperor Liang who snatched the throne from his nephew, it is naturally even more so. Without thunderous means, the throne would not be stable.

"There are many wronged people in the world. Those who cause grievances may not always express their apologies to those who have been wronged. Even if they express their apologies, they may not always accept them. Therefore, injustices often occur and everyone can see them clearly. Those who cannot see clearly are actually confused accounts, and the so-called justice is not always seen. Some people think that the status quo can be maintained, while some people are always thinking about how to take revenge. This Lord Song, this guardian envoy and he also They are considered half friends. At first, most of the scholars in the Shendu thought that this governor was a martial artist and could not be refined, so he was the only one who could let this governor come into the mansion and have a cup of tea with him..."

The woman interrupted him and asked bluntly, "So the Guardian just killed him like this?"

The guardian glanced at something and then sighed, "Do you think he can leave the Divine Capital alive? It's not me but someone else who is here today. From the moment he decided to step into the Divine Capital, he was a dead person. The Forgetful Realm sounds bluffing, but it’s so powerful.”

"If I don't kill him, he will die in the hands of others. No matter what, he will die."

The woman was silent. She didn't quite understand the intrigues. She didn't even have the courage to do anything after her home was destroyed. She could only get a moment of peace of mind by locking herself here day after day.

"Live well, it's best not to have any ideas."

The guard glanced at the woman and was about to walk out when he suddenly turned around, looked at her and said, "If you can, help Mr. Song collect the body."

At this moment, the guard envoy was still willing to call the dead Master Song Master Song, even though he came to kill him personally before, thinking of the friendship between the two of them as half-friends.

The woman didn't say anything, but when the guard walked out, a gust of wind suddenly blew, and the oil lamp that was already dimly lit on the table was completely extinguished.

…

…

At midnight, the boy and girl lit firecrackers in the yard, and the sound spread far in the open space of the academy. At this moment, there were lights everywhere, and there was laughter and laughter everywhere, but in the academy, it was terrifyingly deserted.

After setting off the firecrackers, midnight passed, and it happened to be the new year. Xie Nandu returned to the house and began to read under the oil lamp. However, she occasionally raised her head and looked out the window. The heavy snow was falling tonight, which was not a problem. Not a bad view.

Chen Chao sat on a chair, leaning against the window sill, looking at the heavy snow in the sky, while his fingers kept stroking the cold handle of the knife. The New Year was here, so for

For his fate, what kind of result seems to be coming.

No matter how courageous and extraordinary he is, he is actually still a young man. When faced with such a big thing, Chen Chao will naturally still be worried.

Xie Nandu remained silent. After she was tired of reading, she began to practice calligraphy. She was extremely silent and didn't say anything.

Chen Chao said, "I want to go out for a walk."

Xie Nandu didn't say much, just hummed.

After walking out of the small courtyard, Chen Chao didn't walk a few steps before he met a reasonable but unexpected person by the lake.

There was a cotton-padded scholar standing by the lake, not waiting for Chen Chao on purpose, but the two met anyway.

Chen Chao stopped, saluted from afar, and called Mr. Wei.

The visitor was naturally Wei Xu.

As the legitimate son of the Wei family, he should be in the Wei family at this moment, but for some reason, he still appeared here.

Looking back, Wei Xu glanced at Chen Chao. The two looked at each other, neither of them speaking in a hurry.

"Since we have met, we are destined to have a chat?"

After a while, the Wei family's direct son invited him, and Chen Chao naturally did not refuse.

The two then stood side by side by the lake.

Wei Xu looked at Chen Chao for a while, and then slowly said, "Your journey along the way seems to be unparalleled, but in fact you are making progress and never retreating. If you take a step forward, there will be less room for turning around. Now, you can’t even turn around. If you look back, you will be in danger. If you had known that you were in this situation, would you still choose to come to Shendu from Tianqing County? "

Today's big shots know something about Chen Chao's situation, and even his true identity is not a secret.

Chen Chao looked at Wei Xu and really didn't expect that Mr. Wei would say such words as soon as he came out. Without any foreshadowing, he went straight to the topic and said what he least wanted to face now.

Chen Chao smiled bitterly and said, "Did I have a choice back then?"

Wei Xu said, "But you should be able to choose now, but will you choose?"

Chen Chao asked, "If Mr. Wei and I were in the same situation, what would we choose?"

This question was very difficult. Chen Chao had actually made his choice a long time ago, but he posed this question to Wei Xu at this moment just to see what Wei Xu thought.

Wei Xu shook his head and said, "You can't get the answer from me. In fact, many people want to get the answer from me, but I have never been a person who can give people answers. If I wasn't confused in my heart, I wouldn't be able to get the answer tonight." Show up here."

His words seemed to be in response to Chen Chao, but Chen Chao knew that he was talking about something else.

"But no matter what, Mr. Wei is much luckier than me."

Chen Chao looked at the lake and let out a breath of turbid air.

Wei Xu understood what Chen Chao meant and smiled calmly and said, "There is a very good gentleman. Naturally, there are many problems that you don't need to think too much about. There will be results naturally. But if the gentleman can answer everything, then what else do we have to read so many books?" significance?"

Chen Chao said, "But even though Mr. Wei has read so many books now, it seems to have no effect."

These words were somewhat sarcastic, but Wei Xu didn't care. He just nodded and said, "I still haven't read enough books."
