"The trip to Beimang is to increase the possibility of the restoration of Western Chu to the little princess behind you. This approach is too slow. There is no time to restore the country, and there is no time to capture Jiangnan. In the end, your ideal will only be
It’s an empty talk.”
Cao Changqing said calmly: "Liyang is currently on the rise. Any rash action will only cause unnecessary bloodshed."
King Yan said unceremoniously: "In the final analysis, it's because you have doubts and are not firm enough. You finally said the right thing just now. Liyang is on the rise. The longer it goes on, the stronger Liyang will be.
The less likely it is that Chu will restore his country. I only see a hypocritical, weak, and escapist person."
Cao Changqing frowned and said, "Do you want to anger me?"
King Yan continued to say heartbreakingly: "Is it necessary to anger you? Restore the country? It's ridiculous. You want to change the world, but you don't want to get blood on your hands. At this point, you still want to be alone and immersed in your own world. Ha~ you
The so-called restoration of the country is only based on hypocrisy; your so-called firmness is only based on weakness; your loyalty is the biggest irony of your incompetence."
Cao Changqing heard the implication of King Yan's words, "What exactly do you want to imply?"
King Yan said calmly: "Hint? It's too difficult to understand the hint. I will make things difficult for you like this. This has been made clear. Mencius once said, sacrifice one's life for righteousness. What about you? You are obsessed with restoring the country, but you can only stay in the dark and wait.
That slim chance. Your faith cannot bear the weight of a drop of blood."
The stimulating words made Cao Changqing excited.
In just a few breaths, Cao Changqing adjusted his mentality and said, "Chu State has its own policies and strategies, and you are not allowed to comment on them."
After hearing these words, King Yan's face finally changed, but it was an uncomfortable expression of being unable to breathe, "Did you smell it? That stupid smell has emerged again."
"you…"
King Yan said unceremoniously: "Is this your strategy to rely on the illusory loyalty of others? If they were really loyal, Xi Chu would not be destroyed. How many people and families are there in the hometown of Xi Chu now?
Are you willing to support your illusory dream? Speaking of
After all, they are not just a bunch of losers. It is obvious that you only need to take that last step to become invincible. This is your most important bargaining chip and your only bargaining chip, but you choose to wait passively. Could it be that
Are all people taught by Confucianism so naive?"
As soon as King Yan finished speaking, the atmosphere in the air changed.
King Yan was keenly aware of Cao Changqing's murderous intention at that moment, and asked directly: "Do you want to kill him?"
"Uncle Qi Zhao..." Jiang Ni also saw Cao Changqing like this for the first time.
Cao Changqing admitted: "You are so similar to that person."
Cao Changqing wanted to kill King Yan, but it was his words that made him angry.
But in King Yan, he saw the shadow of Huang Sanjia, who he wanted to get rid of and quickly caused the fall of Western Chu.
Faced with the murderous intent of Cao Qingyi, who ranked fourth on the martial arts evaluation list, King Yan still did not change his low and cold voice: "You are talking about Huang Longshi. I went to visit you before meeting you for a while.
He has been dragged down by his false reputation for too long. And King Yan will always be King Yan. You can choose to take action here. But can you afford the price?"
Cao Changqing asked: "What's the price?"
"The opportunity for the restoration of Western Chu. And..." King Yan looked past Cao Changqing and looked at Jiang Ni behind him, "Everything you have been thinking about will be ruined."
Cao Changqing was offended in his heart, "Are you threatening me?"
King Yan ignored the angry Cao Changqing and continued: "Maybe you can kill me, maybe you can't. And I dare to come alone, do I have a trump card? What, do you dare to bet? Bet that you can protect the man behind you.
The princess of a subjugated country is careful to kill me?"
King Yan's words made Cao Changqing hesitate and the air condensed for a moment.
Thoughts swirling a thousand times, Cao Changqing looked at Jiang Ni beside him and finally made a choice, "Let's go."
"You seem to have made a mistake..." King Yan did not retreat but advanced, looking directly at Cao Changqing, "From the beginning to the end, I was in control of the situation. The real choice begins now."
King Yan continued to press hard and made an astonishing move, "In one sentence, guess what I am thinking, and in exchange for your future and the Kingdom of Western Chu. Otherwise, you will see with your own eyes that everything you have built in your life will be destroyed in one day."
.”
As soon as he finished speaking, King Yan's cloak rose up in the windless form behind him, with a threatening force.
Cao Changqing didn't want to have any more entanglements with King Yan, "Don't you want to complete what you just said?"
"It doesn't matter. This is just one of my many choices." King Yan said with an indifferent expression, "Now, I might even want to know how you and Xu Fengnian will react if you kill her."
Cao Changqing clenched his fists, suppressed the urge to kill the person in front of him, and tried to regain his senses.
Then, he said slowly: "You will see Huang Longshi again."
"That...what a pity~" The smile that appeared on the handsome face should have been elegant, but it made people feel chilling.
King Yan slowly stepped aside and said, "The road is yours."
"Please." Cao Changqing knew that King Yan's thoughts were unpredictable, and if she stayed with him for a moment longer, the princess would be in more danger, so she quickly took Jiang Ni away.
"Cao Changqing, you will know this moment is coming." Looking at the back of Cao Changqing and Jiang Ni, King Yan said this.
Time returns to near Tiemenguan.
With the arrival of Yuan Benxi, the situation between the two sides returned to a strange balance.
Yang Taisui took the opportunity to use his great Buddhist powers to secretly whisper to Xu Fengnian, the hereditary king of Beiliang, "Anyone can die, the old monk can die, the King of the Red Sect can die, and the two hundred and sixteen followers can die."
By death, only Zhao Kai cannot die! The old monk can escort Zhao Kai back to the capital and go to Beiliang Prince's Mansion to plead guilty. If you insist on killing Zhao Kai today, who has the emperor's destiny and is blessed with luck, do you know what will happen?"
To this, Xu Fengnian simply replied: "Go to hell!"
It's okay if Yang Taisui didn't say it, but when he said it, Xu Fengnian once again remembered what was buried in his memory, and said angrily: "Yang Taisui, you are the first one I will kill today. Do you still remember the white clothes in the capital back then?!
I would rather die in the process of practicing swordsmanship than become a useless King of Beiliang in the future, just to kill you bastards with my own hands!"
Seeing that it was difficult to persuade Xu Fengnian, Yang Taisui looked at Yuan Benxi.
Yuan Benxi shook his head.
Yang Taisui already knew what he meant and sighed, "Since the prince insists on doing this, the old monk will only be offended."
"If you want to fight, then fight, what nonsense!" Today's intermediaries in Liyang, except for those who followed Zhao Kai at the beginning, basically include the masterminds and participants of Bai Yigu in the capital back then.
No matter what, Xu Fengnian will never retreat today.
The next moment the conflict is about to break out...
