A fat man wearing a leather jacket was walking on the street carrying a roe deer and a bunch of red dried chili peppers.
He is Zhen Kuai, one of the biggest spy leaders under Wenren Cang Yue in the past. But in the past few years, all the neighbors know his name is Song Cheng. He himself has gradually forgotten that he is Zhen Kuai.
In order to make a living for his wife and their newborn son that year, he took his wife down the mountain and finally arrived at this ordinary town near Zhongzhou where no one would know him.
Life in the small town was plain and comfortable, and his wife and children were healthy and safe, so he lived a very contented life. He changed from a skinny man to a fat man with a round face.
As the New Year was approaching, he squinted his eyes and looked at the rising sun. All he thought about was curing the roe deer in his hand. When the New Year was approaching, he would have a red and fragrant roe deer bacon hot pot.
If he could live his life peacefully like this, it would be really good for him.
However, just when he turned his head and thought about going to the tailor shop to ask if the new coat he wore for the New Year had been completed, his legs became slightly stiff and his heart was filled with the urge to retreat and escape.
He saw a middle-aged businessman wearing a brocade robe.
This businessman seems to be no different from the Yunqin businessmen who usually pass by this town. However, Zhen Kuai knows that this businessman comes from the distant Da Mang, and from the Purgatory Mountain at the southernmost tip of Da Mang. The former Biluo Lingchaan
Among them, it was precisely because of his cooperation with this middle-aged businessman that Wenren Cangyue was finally able to reach Da Mang safely and cooperated with the leader of Purgatory Mountain to kill Li Ku.
Almost out of physical intuition, Zhen Kuai forced her eyes away, walking towards the end of the street with the same pace as before.
From the corner of his eyes, he was sure that because he was now the fat Song Cheng instead of the Zhen Kuai of the past, the former leader of Da Mang did not notice his presence at all. However, in
After the initial blankness, an even bigger storm arose in his heart.
Although he has truly separated from the world of practitioners, what he hears and sees is exactly the same as all the ordinary people in this small town, but from the same things he hears and sees, he can be sensitive
Guess what kind of changes have taken place in the world of practitioners.
In the grand meeting at Qianye Pass, Lin Xi and Qingluan Academy achieved absolute victory.
Emperor Yunqin, who was in the same boat as the leader of Purgatory Mountain, was waiting for trial in Zhongzhou City.
Da Mang is undergoing an intensive transfer of power. Zhantai Qiantang will eventually fulfill the last wish of the old Emperor Da Mang and become Da Mang's new emperor.
In this world, there are still enemies of Lin Xi and Qingluan College. However, under such a general trend, what kind of enemies dare to take action and what conspiracy dares to launch against Lin Xi and Qingluan College?
But the appearance of this middle-aged businessman is definitely not accidental. Could it be that he has now worked for Zhantai Qantang and is no longer the enemy of Lin Xi and Qingluan Academy?
Zhen Kuai hopes so.
But he couldn't convince himself of this possibility, because his long-term career as a spy leader made him easily feel that this middle-aged businessman's peaceful appearance concealed a deep vigilance. This middle-aged businessman must be...
He was carrying out an extremely secret mission.
In Zhen Kuai's opinion, even if Lin Xi and Zhantai Qiantang want to do something big now, they don't need to use such a secretive gesture.
The street where the middle-aged businessman lived was slowly left behind by him. He was getting closer and closer to his home, but his footsteps became heavier and heavier.
…
Some reunions can be daunting.
Zhongzhou City, there are still three days before the New Year's Eve, and it is sunny.
A young man in green robes appeared on the official road outside the south gate of Zhongzhou. He raised his head slightly and looked at the most majestic city in the world, with inexplicable emotion in his eyes.
However, as he approached, the surroundings of the tower became completely silent.
All the pedestrians and caravans at the city pass dispersed. Countless crossbow arrows on the city wall were aimed at the young man in green robes, but the hands of every Yunqin soldier holding arrows or holding weapons were trembling.
Lin Xi is here.
During the early snowfall last year, Lin Xi had lived in Zhongzhou City for a long time, so most of the defenders on the city gate recognized him at first sight. But now Lin Xi is a wanted enemy in Zhongzhou Imperial City.
The criminals who were openly killing people in Zhongzhou City, the city gate defenders including their generals, when they saw Lin Xi's appearance at this moment, they had no idea how they were going to face them.
Lin Xi was filled with emotion because of the majesty of the city, the many wonderful stories that happened in the city, and the many practitioners who came out of the city. But he could also understand the emotions of these Yunqin soldiers, so he stayed far away from the city gate.
At that point, he stopped and said in a very soft and clear voice: "Don't worry, I'm not here to kill anyone. I just want the emperor to come see me... He must have already known that I'm here."
It sounds arrogant and rebellious for a Yunqin man to ask his surname to ask the Emperor of Yunqin to come out to see him. However, when almost all the Yunqin soldiers heard this sentence, they did not feel any anger.
He relaxed slightly and let go of the tightened bowstring.
Lin Xi stopped outside the city and just waited.
The city gate remained silent as a carriage, galloping from the direction of Zhongzhou Imperial City, stopped at the city gate.
In the condensed air, a young Yunqin official walked out of the Yuduke carriage and walked out of the city gate alone. In the eyes of all the defenders, he walked not far in front of Lin Xi.
, and bowed deeply to Lin Xi.
"Master Lin." This young Yunqin official who came out of Donggang Town said in a low voice, "The Holy One asked me to tell you that if you have anything to say to him, you can go to the Imperial City and say it to him."
Lin Xi looked at Wang Buping, looked at this old friend, shook her head, and said gently: "No, since he asked you to come out to see me, then you tell him for me... I want him to abdicate in favor of the eldest princess. As long as he abdicates,
If I abdicate the throne in favor of the eldest princess, I can promise him to live in wealth and honor for the rest of his life."
Wang Buping's face became extremely white, but his lips began to turn a little blue, "Mr. Lin..."
"Don't try to persuade him any more." Lin Xi shook her head and directly interrupted Wang Buping, "Let him abdicate for the sake of Changsun Wujiang."
Wang Buping looked at Lin Xi, but still said tremblingly: "But the Holy One has shown repentance."
"If you sincerely repent, you won't dare to come out to see me." Lin Xi looked at Wang Buping and said calmly: "Abdication is the last chance I give him."
Wang Buping's chest seemed to be pressed by a big stone. He couldn't breathe. He looked at Lin Xi in pain, "What if the Holy One insists on not abdicating?"
Lin Xi glanced at him, said nothing, just turned and left.
However, Wang Buping had already seen the answer from his silence. He no longer had the strength to stand and sat down on the slippery ground.
…
Some reunions after a long absence can also be annoying.
Xu Zhenyan looked at the black figure sitting in the curtain and was shocked and speechless for a long time.
"I didn't expect it was you."
He shook his head, then couldn't help but raise his head, looked at the silent figure in the curtain, and said with great emotion: "It turns out that some of the absurd rumors in Da Mang are true... The new leader of Purgatory Mountain is actually real.
He is a student of Qingluan College, and he is actually a student who entered Qingluan College in the same year as me."
Zhang Ping also slowly raised his head indifferently and looked at Xu Zhenyan with disgust: "So even people like you don't take me seriously at all. Even if there are really students from Qingluan College,
You can become the headmaster of Purgatory Mountain, but it is absolutely impossible for you to be someone like me?"
Zhang Ping is the new leader of Purgatory Mountain, and the real leader of Purgatory Mountain. He looked at Xu Zhenyan with disgust, and then the supreme majesty and the cold and thick aura of death swallowed Xu Zhenyan.
However, Xu Zhenyan was not shocked. Instead, he just laughed calmly: "The more people like you and me are looked down upon, the more likely they are to make it to the end."
Zhang Ping laughed, his smile a little light and full of sarcasm: "Are you worthy of being compared with me?"
Xu Zhenyan also laughed without any anger: "I can help you, and maybe there is something you want."
Zhang Ping looked at him indifferently and said coldly: "What do you want to say when you appear in front of me?"
"Lin Xi came to Zhongzhou City, and you came too."
Xu Zhenyan looked at Zhang Ping, who was as cold as the sea, and said with a humble smile: "Lin Xi wants to get rid of Emperor Yun Qin... In this whole world, no one is above him, but have you ever thought that as long as you kill him?
, there will be no one above you in this world, you will be the master of this world from now on, and no one can threaten your existence anymore. Everything he has done before has become just to smooth out all the problems for you.
obstacle."
"Except for him, you are the real master of this world... In the records of past practitioners, no one has ever truly been able to do this. However, you can do it, and you also have the strength to do it."
"Countless powerful men in the past had to eliminate countless opponents before they could achieve this. But think about it...as long as you kill him, you will have no opponents in the world."
Xu Zhenyan's voice was very calm, but the words themselves were full of temptation, just like describing the most beautiful and truest dream.
Zhang Ping's eyes narrowed slightly, and he sneered in disgust: "Don't forget, Lin Xi is my friend, how dare you say such a thing in front of me?"
"I have been waiting for an opportunity. When you came to Zhongzhou City, I thought I had waited for such an opportunity." Xu Zhenyan still said humbly: "But when I saw you, I finally understood that this way
The opportunity to come to you was originally given to me by you...because you are the real leader of Purgatory Mountain. If you had not wanted to see me, I would have never known your whereabouts, and it would have been impossible for me to live in front of you."
"Perhaps I just want to see if there is anyone who has evil intentions against Lin Xi? If it weren't for our friendship as a classmate, I would kill you right now." Zhang Ping said coldly: "And don't forget Lin Xi's status as a general.
, Don’t forget that the previous leader of Purgatory Mountain was also very close to the only master of this world. Even he was already the only master of this world, but he was still defeated by Lin Xi. It is impossible for anyone in this world to kill him.
Lin Xi can kill a general."
"You are wrong." Xu Zhenyan shook his head. He looked at Zhang Ping and said calmly: "Generals can still be killed... This is the real reason why I dare to come to see you."
Zhang Ping glanced at Xu Zhenyan and said coldly and calmly, "If you still don't want to die, disappear in front of me immediately."
