Because we stand on both sides of the river, we can only be enemies with each other in this life.
This is a very simple truth.
Xilu naturally understands.
So her anger dissipated very quickly. This does not mean that she forgives what Chen Chao did, but that she can understand it, which does not mean she forgives or does not forgive. The two of them are enemies, and they will always be their personal likes and dislikes in this life.
it is not important.
Looking at the seal on Chen Chao's waist, Xilu suddenly asked: "Are there any similar things?"
Chen Chao raised his eyebrows and said, "I may still have the things, but what can you give in exchange for them?"
Such a treasure can be said to be priceless, and it is understandable that Xilu wants it. After all, it is something that can block the Demon Emperor's sight.
But if you want something like this, it is definitely not something you can get by touching your lips.
Xilu remained silent.
"Leave the royal city first. In this place, I always feel like there are eyes behind me."
Chen Chao smiled and stretched out his hand, and began to erase the remaining aura of himself here. He might not care about this elsewhere, but under the Demon Emperor's nose, everything needs to be taken care of.
…
…
Half a quarter of an hour later, there was a sudden wind and snow outside the wine shop, and a tall figure appeared at the door of the wine shop. The wind and snow roared behind him, but he could not get inside the wine shop. It seemed that his body was broad enough to block the door.
Everything in the world.
The man walked into the wine shop and looked around. The broken wine jars were still on the ground. The wine was flowing slowly, but the aroma of the wine could not be smelled.
The man walked a few steps, came to the broken table, and took a look.
Waves of breath flowed out of his body, like threads that were constantly entangled here, restoring the table in front of him.
The table was restored, and the jar of wine on it was glued together again by those so-called silk threads. Although there were still cracks, they were like veins, shining with luster.
The wine on the ground returned to the wine jar again at this moment.
It is said that it is difficult to recover from overflowing water, but it seems that it is not difficult in front of this demon emperor.
The Demon Emperor looked at the tabletop that he had re-repaired, looking at the scene that should have been like this about a quarter of an hour ago, and frowned slightly.
There is wine and two wine bowls on the table, which means that two people once sat across from each other.
But there was no breath from these two people at all, which was very strange.
After being able to erase the aura, the only thing he couldn't understand at all was another Fuyun.
How can Fuyun avoid being discovered under his nose in the Demon Clan King's City?
It only took the Demon Emperor a moment to figure out something.
"Still can't help it."
The Demon Emperor's indifferent voice sounded, as cold as coming from the deepest part of hell, making the air condense into frost.
"But who are you drinking with?"
This is the only question the Demon Emperor has. No one will tell him the answer, he can only find it on his own.
His eyes slowly glanced around, and finally fell on the jar of wine on the table.
There are no traces of anyone on the wine, but the wine is very fragrant.
The Demon Realm cannot brew such fragrant wine, so this wine can only come from outside the Demon Realm, from the human race that is confronting the Demon Clan.
Who can carry this jar of wine?
It seems that the answer is self-evident.
A flash of anger flashed in the Demon Emperor's eyes, and then quickly started a prairie fire, igniting a prairie fire.
If the Demon Emperor would hesitate to kill people before, then at this moment, he was given a perfect reason to kill some people.
…
…
On the banks of the Onan River.
Chen Chao and Xi Lu stood on both sides. Behind Xi Lu was the Yao Clan Royal City, and behind Chen Chao was the vast Mobei. Behind Mo Bei was the northern Great Wall of Daliang.
The two of them were still standing on different sides of the river, just like they had said before in the wine shop.
Looking at Xilu, Chen Chao said: "You have escaped, but it seems you have no time to delay."
Just now, when the two of them were on their way south, they both felt the undisguised demonic turmoil in the royal city.
"If nothing else, your father is in that wine shop right now. Do you think you have wiped your breath clean?"
Chen Chao smiled and looked at Xilu. The most important thing in this trip to kill the Demon Emperor was to ask Xilu to become his helper. Although Xilu still stated that he did not want to join forces, at present, she was forced to stand by her side.
.
Xilu was calm, but no one knew what he was thinking.
Chen Chao said: "You should thank me for taking you out of the royal city, otherwise you would be a corpse now."
Xi Lu had no expression on his face, "Isn't that also a gift from you?"
Chen Chao smiled bitterly, but did not refute. It was indeed not honorable to come to the royal city to plot against the Western Continent this time.
Xilu sneered, "Chen Chao, you are more shameless than I thought. Do you really think you can say anything casually?"
This sentence means something.
"It's okay to do whatever it takes to win."
Chen Chao smiled and said: "I lied for Daliang and deceived others, it doesn't matter."
Although she had known this answer for a long time, Xilu was still a little distracted, but she stopped saying a word and started heading south along the Onan River.
Chen Chao looked at her back and shouted: "The Demon Emperor is even harder to kill now that he has that magical medicine. If you really want to kill him, joining forces with me is the best choice!"
Xilu remained unmoved and kept walking, farther and farther away, as if he wanted to get away from Chen Chao as soon as possible.
Chen Chao thought for a while, crossed the Onan River, came behind Xilu, followed her, and said as he walked: "Xilu, I can guarantee that no one else would be in a situation like yours."
If you hesitate, you will choose to cooperate with me."
"Don't you demons care less about family ties than humans?"
"Xilu, no matter what you do or how you do it, you must always be alive first before things can happen later."
"Kill the demon emperor and you will be the new empress. The demon realm is in your hands. Let's fight again."
Chen Chao followed Xi Lu, kept talking, and then walked south along the river bank. The river flowed slowly under the ice, but the ice surface seemed to be the same no matter how you looked at it.
In summer, there would be some green water plants on both sides of the Onan River, but now there is only snow, making it look the same everywhere.
Xi Lu did not turn around, but said: "You are not confident that you can beat him, but you think you can kill me."
The reason for killing the Demon Emperor was naturally because the Demon Emperor was terrifying. If such a terrifying person stood on the other side of him, it would be best for him to die.
After killing the Demon Emperor, the new Demon Emperor will be Xilu. Facing Xilu, Chen Chao found it not difficult to kill him.
This idea is extremely simple and unpretentious, but precisely because of this, it seems somewhat sincere.
But sincere things are always very hurtful.
Chen Chao said: "You don't have to worry about what I'm thinking. You need to know that this is the only way you can go now. With me, your path will be much smoother. Without me, you may not be able to take this path."
This is also the truth. Once it is spoken, no one can deny it.
Not even Xilu himself can.
Xilu didn't speak, but not speaking was rejection.
Chen Chao had no choice but to continue: "I know you don't want to die, at least you don't want to be killed by your father. Perhaps apart from death, what worries you more is the fact that your father kills you."
Xilu didn't say anything and continued to walk alone.
Chen Chao said: "It seems that your mother was also killed by your father. Even if you don't do it for yourself, don't you plan to avenge your mother?"
When he said this, Xilu paused, but still did not speak, but continued south.
Some women cannot be persuaded no matter what, and Xilu seems to be one of them.
"Western Land."
Chen Chao opened his mouth and felt that his voice was already a little hoarse.
He may not be the most persuasive person in the world, but he is definitely the most persuasive person in the world. But such a person seems to have no way of convincing Xilu.
Although this didn't make Chen Chao feel depressed, it still made him feel a little tired.
He really wanted to fall asleep and snore happily.
In fact, it is not the matter of persuading Xilu that makes him tired, but all the things during this period will make him feel tired. With so many things piled on one person, it is really rare that that person has not collapsed.
matter.
Rubbing his heavy eyelids, Chen Chao said, "I asked you to stop being so stubborn."
"Give up, you can't convince me no matter what."
Xi Lu said from the front: "But I am still a little strange. You are obviously not such a person, but why did you become like this?"
Chen Chao said: "Because convincing you is very important to Daliang."
Xilu asked: "It's Daliang again, can I understand that the things you are doing now are not what you want to do, they are all done for Daliang, so if it were your own idea, what would you do?
"
"If it were my idea, I would kill both your father and daughter, and the world would be at peace."
Chen Chao laughed at himself: "But don't you have the ability now?"
Xilu remained silent, and she kept going south for the next half day and never spoke to Chen Chao again.
It wasn't until she used her sword to kill a big demon that was following her secretly.
Kill with one sword, simple and decisive.
Chen Chao glanced at the big monster's head, squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "A big monster, kill it when you say kill it, you are so decisive."
Xi Lu didn't say anything, but just looked at the blood dripping from the flying sword in his hand and thought about something.
That big demon must have been sent by the Demon Emperor to spy on Xilu's whereabouts. In other words, he was actually a chess piece thrown by the Demon Emperor. I wanted to see how Xilu would react. If Xilu killed him with a sword, everything would be over.
Without saying anything, the father and daughter broke up.
But in reality, does Xilu dare to remain indifferent?
"Xilu..."
Somewhere by the river, Xi Lu suddenly stopped. Chen Chao wanted to continue persuading him, but Xi Lu's look stopped Chen Chao from continuing.
She looked at Chen Chao, her eyes like the sharpest sword in the world.
"After all that, I'm tired of it. Do you want to know why I won't agree to you?"
Xilu looked towards the river and said to himself: "You have said so much, but you never said that if you and I kill him, you humans will stop."
Chen Chao was startled and then said: "You are the ones invading the south now."
"But you never said that if you kill him, the war will stop."
Xilu said calmly.
Chen Chao said: "If he dies, the war will end."
Xilu didn't speak, just smiled.
Many times, stop and end can express the same meaning, but obviously at this moment, they have different meanings.
The Chen Dynasty never said that killing the Demon Emperor would stop the war. Although Daliang was being suppressed and beaten at the moment, they did not just want the war to stop, but they wanted to seize the opportunity to complete the first step in human history from south to north.
An expedition to the north that no one has ever been able to accomplish.
"You wholeheartedly want to change the world and destroy my clan. If I join forces with you, won't I be afraid of becoming a sinner?"
Xilu said calmly: "You don't want to see the people of the human race being enslaved and slaughtered by us, and I don't want to see my people being slaughtered by you."
The Demon Emperor is the Demon Clan's greatest support at the moment, and there is no way he can die now.
Other people wouldn't care about this, but Xilu does. Red Sleeve Demon Lord has long seen that, in the entire demon clan, probably only the high priest and Xilu regard the people of the demon clan as their subjects.
And now the high priest is dead.
Xilu became the only person.
Chen Chao looked at Xilu and was silent for a long time. It was so long that the cold wind above the Onan River had blown far away, and then he said, "It turns out I was wrong about you."
He laughed at himself. He originally thought he knew Xilu very well, but now that he thought about it, he still didn't understand it well enough. Xilu... was fundamentally different from the other demon clans.
From another perspective, they are even on the same page.
But the road is on both sides of the river.
"Before I came, I thought it was not difficult to convince you of this matter, especially after I forced you to the last road. You can only go with me whether you want it or not. But now I understand.
I underestimated you."
Chen Chao shook his head, a little disappointed, but he didn't feel too sad. He should have underestimated his opponent, but it had already happened.
"But at least half the work is done."
Chen Chao smiled and could only comfort himself in this way.
"This is just one of the reasons why I reject you. There are other reasons as well."
Xilu thought for a while and finally said this.
Chen Chao didn't care, he had already turned around to cross the river, went to the other side, and started heading south.
Xilu stood there, looking at Chen Chao's back, silent.
After a moment, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes.
Chen Chao came thousands of miles away, deceived her with words, and forced her to walk on the only path by means. She could understand all this, but who told them to walk on both sides of the river.
But there are some things in the world that are understandable and have to be accepted, but that doesn’t mean you won’t be sad.
After all, she is also a woman.
No woman wants to be treated like this by the man she likes.
Xilu smiled, raised his head, glanced at the flying snow in the sky, then withdrew his gaze and walked forward.
