Chapter 13: New people leave, old people say goodbye
In the old house of the You family, the last person waiting for death is You Shirang, the youngest of the generation of the You family.
His father died in the Jingmu War, and his uncle died in the Defending and Guarding War.
Several brothers hang out in Tianjing City, and they all have mediocre talents.
And he is also mediocre.
Overly strong self-esteem and insufficient talent to match his self-esteem often made him suffer humiliation. As a result, he became increasingly narrow-minded.
Now he is showing cowardice.
Under the merciless killing by the masked man, he shed tears and kept retreating from the front yard to the middle yard and then to the back yard. He even lost his balance and fell to the ground... but he did not dare to take action against the enemy!
He held the sword in his hand, the tip of the sword pointed at the masked enemy, but his hand kept shaking!
"What do you want to do...don't come here...don't come here!" he cried.
You Que stood quietly in front of him and looked at him indifferently.
You Shirang is fifteen years old this year.
This is not a very old age, but it cannot be said to be too young and should not continue to be childish.
Fifteen-year-old Zuo Guanglie is already the leader of the Yellow River.
He himself was only sixteen years old when he became the leader of the Yellow River.
Time flies!
At such a moment, You Que thought of You Shirang's father, his biological brother. Even when everyone had given up, he still had a stubborn persistence.
The younger brother who insists on making him proud can still return to the top.
At first it was encouragement and comfort, and later it was earnest persuasion.
Later, there was a cruel trick, deliberately provoking other people, and being beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, he came back miserable in the hope that his genius brother would cheer up.
Then came the provocation method, shouting curses in an attempt to arouse fighting spirit...
Over the years it has happened over and over again, using all possible means.
He even brought his youngest son to the courtyard and taught him to curse.
You Que still remembers that You Shirang was still very young at that time, four or five years old. He stumbled over and recited the lyrics, cursing in a childish voice: "Uncle, you... you... you are really... useless... trash."
After scolding him, he ran away: "If you don't accept it, hit me!"
As a result, I fell flat on my back, knocked out two front teeth, and cried heartbrokenly.
My brother is also dead.
War does not make people live longer.
After his brother died.
You Shirang will never come again.
No one from the whole Youjia came again.
Youjia's ending was predetermined long ago. After he received the military order and raised the butcher knife in Yewang City, he personally ended a period of life that should not have ended, and finally collapsed in front of a crying child.
It might have been doomed by then.
Or maybe, it was after Beitian Master Wu Daoyou’s words?
At that time, Yin Xiaoheng's squadron returned to the court, carrying a surrender watch, military flags, and ropes to defend the king. The streets of Tianjing City were cleared to welcome him. Jing Tianzi asked: "Where is the lonely wandering startling dragon?"
Yin Xiaoheng answered truthfully - "The Taoist heart collapsed, retreated into a golden body, took off its armor and wandered around, like a walking corpse."
The whole court was silent.
Beitian master Wu Daoyou said: "Is this son slandering you and betraying your integrity?"
This is the definition.
He came to his senses, voluntarily resigned his title, resigned from his post, returned home and imprisoned himself.
But it couldn't stop You's fall at all.
The process of falling into the abyss is always torturous. The ugliness squeezed out of the torment is more like an abyss than an abyss.
He was still very young at that time and could see life but not human hearts. He could not accept life for a while and embarked on such a long and dark journey.
If time went back to 3898, what would he choose?
You Que shook his head gently. He didn't know the answer, but he couldn't look back.
He just shook his head gently, as if he was denying something. He stepped on You Shirang's chest with his boots, and looked down at this cowardly descendant of the You family.
"Fear? Pain?" he asked: "Or do you want to take revenge on me?"
You Shirang was so frightened that his face was covered with tears, but he did not dare to speak.
You Que looked down at him and said slowly: "It's useless to kill such a waste. Leave you alive to tell the world who did such a big thing! Remember my name, poor little thing, I have no door to hell.
King Bian Cheng!"
As soon as the words fell, the people dispersed.
In the entire Youjia old house, there was only one young boy who huddled on the ground after being stunned for a long time, howling silently in pain.
You Que returned to his small courtyard again.
The soul comes and goes without a trace.
He looked at the vegetables he grew, and then at the corpses in the yard—the old dog's and his own.
Then he walked forward slowly, walked through his vegetable patch, walked to his body, and sat down alone like he had done on countless ordinary days before.
Sitting on a corpse like a chair.
"If someone wants to watch a show, then give it a good performance. I hope this scene has met their expectations."
With this thought in mind, You Que fell back and fell into his own body.
In the autumn of 3922 in the Dao calendar, You Que died, and there was no more You Jinglong in the world!
…
…
In the dense forest outside Taiping City, King Bian Cheng and King Qin Guang reunited again.
"You came very quickly." King Qin Guang praised.
King Bian Cheng was cold and silent.
Waiting here is King Wu Guan, sitting under the tree and waiting for a long time.
King Qin Guang gave him a look.
Having been prepared for a long time, he pulled out two rows of light curtains with ten grids in total. The masks of the King of Chujiang, the Emperor of Song, the King of Mount Tai... and the ten palaces of Yama appeared in the light curtain one after another.
This mission to assassinate You Que was extremely difficult and dangerous. It can be said that it was the most difficult and dangerous task since the creation of No Gate to Hell. Although the final result was a bit hasty, You Que was gone in just one encounter. But King Qin Guang was so determined
, it has indeed been prepared for half a year in advance.
It was not until the final moment of action that he and King Bian Cheng were decided to be the main attackers. Because this was the strongest lineup of Hell No Gate, and the appearance of any other Yama would only cause King Bian Cheng to be unable to unleash his full power.
Thereby weakening the overall combat effectiveness.
Even if You Que has already recast his Taoist heart and cultivated to the top level Divine Presence, the combination of him and King Bian Cheng is still worthy of a fight.
The other eight Yamas did not appear at Youjia's old house precisely because they were planning their escape route from Jingguo.
From Taiping City in Fengtian Prefecture to the outside of Jingguo, King Chujiang planned a total of five escape routes. Each of them had many back-ups as a guarantee. It can be said that the reason why the reward for this operation was so high was because it was so much.
Part of it is used in this.
For example, the Eighth Palace City King has locked all the straight roads outside Fengtian Mansion and can cause collapse at the same time. He is also responsible for cutting off communication methods such as carrier pigeons.
For example, the Tenth Hall Chakravartin King is going around in circles with the relevant members of the Mirror World Terrace. He can deal with them at any time to attract the attention of a higher level from the Mirror World Terrace. Or he can continue to lead them around and let the Mirror World Terrace reflect him.
It is always still water.
For example, King Yama of the Five Palaces has buried the dice of life and death in the palace of the city lord of Taiping City, which can destroy the political center of the city at any time and suppress the city's response ability to the greatest extent.
For example, the three emperors of the Song Dynasty, the seven emperors of Mount Tai, and the nine emperors of Ping Ping are all in Fengtian Prefecture in Heng'an City. As long as King Qin Guang gives an order, the government will be shaken in an instant.
King Chu Jiang's task was particularly critical. She had led the arrangements for the previous six months and bribed a large number of people. When the time came, she would immediately cause turmoil in the entire Fengtian Mansion!
In fact, there is another very important person, that is, Jingguo Tianjiaolou Junlan, who is on patrol in Taiping City. If she is taken down, it will definitely cause a larger-scale riot, and it will also be a more important bargaining chip.
But except for King Guang of Qin and King Bian Cheng, no one in Yama is sure to take her down silently. And no one wants to attract Lou Yue, so they can only give up...
Assassinating a You Que who has long since faded out of people's sight may not cause any turmoil, and it is difficult for the You family, which has long since declined, to react too resolutely. If Lou Junlan is really kidnapped, that is a matter of another nature.
Based on all the above arrangements, as King Qin Guang often said, the asking price of Hell Without Gate is actually very conscientious. Besides Hell Without Gate, which other organization dares to enter the overlord country to assassinate?
Of course, now it seems that that premium is not enough at all. Damn You Que has actually realized it!
As soon as the light curtain appeared in the palm of King Wuguan, King Qin Guang said directly: "The target is dead, but things have some unexpected twists and turns. You don't need to make any noise. Now listen to my order and separate from each other. How low-key can you be?
So low-key."
After saying that, he dispersed the light curtain. The situation was urgent, so he only issued orders and was not responsible for answering questions.
King Bian Cheng turned around without saying a word.
King Guang of Qin quickly stopped him: "The others will go separately, and King Guan is with us."
King Bian Cheng stood there grimly, noncommittal.
King Wu Guan was so clever. When he saw King Qin Guang and King Bian Cheng like this, he knew that the so-called accident was nothing ordinary, so he said considerately: "Otherwise I won't burden you..."
"If you want to waste our time, just keep talking nonsense." King Qin Guang pointed at King Bian Cheng: "He has a bad temper."
The Rogue King immediately shut up.
King Qin Guang took the lead and walked out of the forest: "If you have any questions, let's talk while walking."
But he said "we", but in reality he only communicated back and forth with King Bian Cheng.
The Wan Guan Wang followed them silently, but didn't hear a word. He opened his ears hard, and even used the secret technique of ear recognition, but there was only the sound of wind.
He felt the deep malice of this world.
Didn't you mean walking and talking? How come I only have "walking" left?
He didn't understand why such a conscientious person could be excluded.
We are obviously three people traveling together, why do we have to form a small group? Don’t take me with you if you can! Let me go by myself if you can!
He looked at King Qin Guang and said nothing. Then he looked at King Bian Cheng and finally remained silent.
Forget it. The strong are always lonely, only cows and horses like to be in groups.
In the receding landscape, sound transmission is indeed going on.
If he wanted to eavesdrop next to King Bian Cheng, King Guan's current abilities were far from enough.
"You Que is definitely not dead. Although we can't tell the truth from the false, and I just tried the spell again and there is still no reaction...but he is definitely not dead."
"Even if I can kill Dong Zhen with one sword, I can't wade into this muddy water with you."
"It's a bit unkind of you to speak like this."
"Don't go too far, let's get down to business."
"You pulled it first!"
King Bian Cheng was too lazy to pay attention and said coldly: "What do you think You Que wants to do?"
King Qin Guang's voice was also very cold: "It's nothing more than faking death to escape."
King Bian Cheng analyzed indifferently: "There are two possibilities. First, You Que has a big enemy in Jingguo. He has been willing to fall for twenty-four years and still refuses to let him go. Second, You Que has someone behind his back. Very complicated involvement, maybe involved in some mysterious organization, which can also explain the origin of his cultivation resources after living in isolation for so long. But some clues have been traced, or at least suspicions have arisen, so he needs to use this method. Way to leave. His strength is shown here and cannot withstand careful inspection."
King Qin Guang said: "Whether he is his archrival, or just a big shot who simply has doubts about him. In short, that person's identity is by no means simple, and even if You Que knows the truth, he is not his opponent. We can only use the trick. ,Choose to cut and escape.”
"Maybe it's not one person, but a group of people." King Bian Cheng said: "I don't know much about the political situation in Jingguo, and I don't know much about the grievances of the You family. It's hard to speak nonsense."
King Qin Guang added: "Whether it is one person or a group of people, the customers who hire us come from here."
"Is it possible that he hired us himself?"
"It's unlikely. Because if you just want to escape, there are many safer ways than hiring us to assassinate you. It's not a wise choice to actively involve a third party for such an important matter."
"It makes sense." King Bian Cheng continued his analysis: "It is not convenient for our clients to take action publicly, nor is it convenient for them to take action themselves. Because the You family has fallen to this level, and You Que has been in ruins for twenty-four years. I haven't heard of any unresolved feud between the You family. To take action under such circumstances is too bullying and does not comply with the rules of the game for nobles... It seems that our client holds a high position in Jingguo. "
"Whether he is alone or in a group, he still owes me a sum." King Qin Guang said fiercely: "The price I asked for before was the price for You Que to return to the gods. If this debt is not paid, I will not sleep at night!
"
King Bian Cheng looked cold and ruthless: "If you want debt at the expense of your life, don't take me with you."
"Do you want to share the money?"
"Of course, I worked hard!"
"Don't worry, I will take my time to deal with it." King Qin Guang pondered: "This customer of ours is not easy to deal with."
King Bian Cheng said: "If it's easy to deal with, why would You Que need to be like this?"
King Qin Guang said: "Faced with such an enemy, even if You Que has died by the hands of you and me, it is not that easy to leave Jingguo safely."
King Bian Cheng asked back: "So you asked Emperor Song and the others not to make any noise, because you thought You Que had his own arrangements?"
"In this case, it's not a good thing if the water is too muddy." King Qin Guang said with a hint of regret: "Because we are fish and can easily be carried away by the muddy water. We will also leave clues when we create noise, and in the end we still
It will wrap around our necks. Since You Que must have arrangements, let the people from Jingguo find You Que."
King Bian Cheng thought thoughtfully: "You Que is probably waiting for us to muddy the pool so that he can jump out of the game."
King Qin Guang sneered: "How can we make him get his wish?"
King Bian Cheng had to admit that King Qin Guang was indeed an outstanding organizational leader who could make the most correct decision at the first time and decisively abandon the ambush that he had worked hard to lay down before.
But this did not stop him from complaining: "It's interesting! The client will definitely come to us afterwards, because he wants to confirm whether You Que is really dead. You Que will also come to us after he escapes, because we know the truth. What does Jing Guo's reaction mean?
In the Central Empire, in the area of public security alone, there are cases happening all the time, with tens of thousands of cases happening every day. It is not possible to spend too much energy on a killer organization or a marginalized You Que... The real danger comes from
Here it is!”
King Qin Guang said: "Escape from Jingguo first, and then think about other things. There is still some time now."
King Bian Cheng tutted: "We have to be careful about our targets and our customers... Is it so difficult to be a killer?"
King Qin Guang didn't look back: "How can it be easy to make a living these days?"
King Bian Cheng said coldly: "That's not what you said when you tricked me into joining Hellless Gate."
"Guan." King Qin Guang suddenly shouted.
"Yes!" The King of Rogues immediately responded: "Where do we start talking? I think this matter is very strange. This game lacks him..."
"Leave a corpse here." King Qin Guang ordered confidently: "Interrupt any possible tracking."
He emphasized: "Don't use the cheap kind."
The Rogue King opened his mouth and finally said: "...Oh."
