On the narrow and long silkworm path, Wei Se quietly told that there was emotion hidden in those distinctive eyes, but because of the sunlight, his already light-colored eyes turned white, making it difficult to see. Be clear.
"When I came to Kungang, I was actually full of longing. Brother Li had already described to me how grand this world-famous banquet was, how talented and knowledgeable the elders among them were, and how elegant the young people were. I I only waited until I got to the venue, first visited the Miracle of Jianzhou, and then asked Brother Li to introduce me to a few young and promising swordsmiths. After I selected a swordsmith I could rely on, he left from Kunyu Lower Courtyard, and I left from Yamawangdian Break away. We will follow him together, but a few years later, we will get the sword and become swordsmen. We will roam the world together, no longer restricted by others. "
"Unexpectedly, when I arrived in Kungang, he didn't introduce me to the Talisman Society, nor did he introduce me to any young Talisman sword masters. He first pulled me into a secret camp of their Kunyu Sword sect in Kungang and introduced me to him. The leader of them, Elder Zhang Shousong, said that I was a good assassin from the King of Hell Store, best at killing people invisible, and with a fresh face, I could sneak into the venue and work for the Kunyu Sword Sect. That Zhang Shousong inspected my abilities , I still recognized it, so I accepted it.”
When Tang Zhao heard this, he couldn't help but said: "Why did he join the gang again? Didn't he tell you before he came?"
Wei Se said: "I didn't mention it before, so I was stupid for a moment. But at that time, I couldn't hesitate, and I had already entered their territory. They were all their people, their martial arts were higher than mine, and there were many more inexplicable things. How could I not follow the method? Thanks to my quick reaction, I immediately thought that he was one of my own who had been hooked up by Li Qiongsheng. Otherwise, not to mention dying on the spot, he would have to be controlled by various secret methods. Afterwards, Li Qiongsheng explained to me that he had thought twice about it. , the previous plan didn't work, and we had to make temporary adjustments. He said that the Kunyu Sword Sect was going to do something big at the Fu Conference and start a war, and all those who were in the way would be eliminated. Pawns like us are most likely to be affected, so if we still want to If you stay at the venue to get a chance, you can only join if you can't beat him. What's more, he is from the Kunyu House of Commons, so he can't choose a side from the beginning, and I am his friend, so I can only stand with him. I said at the time that otherwise It's okay to leave, he said he came here, how can he leave? It's easy to leave once, there will never be another chance to get close to the Talisman Sword Master, so just be patient for a while."
Tang Zhao couldn't help but shake his head after hearing this. Jiang Shenyi sneered and said, "What nonsense. We've already caused trouble at the venue, and why are we so close to each other?"
Wei Se said: "What can I do? Of course I have to endure it first. Whether it's killing, being patient, or obeying orders, I'm used to it in the King of Hell's store. But if I want to be a thug and a killer, I can do it in the King of Hell's store. I'm a shopkeeper, why are you here again? But those who know the current affairs are heroes. I've known since I was a child that you can't toast without being fined. I joined Kungang and followed them to create panic on the road to Jianzhou and kill those who get in the way. , and then moved to Jianzhou, where he continued to kill people and create panic. This was all familiar, and it was no different from what he did in the King of Hell shop. I did a good job, and I was commended by Zhang Shousong, who transferred me to In a more important position. In the end, Li Qiong-sheng was not as important as me."
"A few days later, Li Qiongsheng came to me and said that he had chosen a young Talisman swordsman and that we could join him together. I was surprised that he still remembered this? But he said of course he remembered, Kun The Jade Sword Sect is not a place to stay for a long time, and people still have to plan for themselves. He will leave the Kun Yujian Sect after doing this. How can he not remember his own affairs? He has already collected young Talisman Sword Masters on the road to Jianzhou. information, and selected one from thousands of people.”
"Green Gourd Sword Fairy"
Tang Zhao didn't need to ask, he naturally knew who it was.
"Of course, it's you, sir." Wei Se smiled, "I said that I heard Li Qiongsheng recommend you to me, which is definitely not a lie. He told me personally that you are not only talented and have amazing potential, but also have a good character and a stable temperament. , has no quirks, and is the most suitable to follow. Also... He is not from a high background, and his vision is naturally not high. He definitely does not have his own power, and his sect is not high and his foundation is insufficient.
Most of the other warriors will wait and see first and will not take full effect. From the beginning, we asked for followers as disciples, which gave us enough face. You are young, vain, and have no one under you, so you should agree. Even if you don’t agree, you won’t reject it outright. "
Jiang Shenyi suddenly chuckled.
Hehe doesn’t mean that he thinks what he said is wrong.
Tang Zhao was expressionless and continued: "What he said makes sense. I couldn't think of these truths myself, so I naturally believed him. I also decided to put my bets on you. So the two of us voted for you, and later You have won the first place, and your name has spread in Jianzhou. On the one hand, I admire Li Qiongsheng for his ability to recognize people, but on the other hand, I am worried that he is too popular and we will not be able to take our turn. Fortunately, we have information, so we made an appointment to find him one day in advance. The first time you contacted me was the first time I met you."
Tang Zhao thought about it and realized that it was the day he was drunk. He couldn't remember the conversation that day clearly. It didn't seem to be anything special. He just remembered that Wei Se introduced him and... "At that time, you said you made an appointment with Li Qiongsheng to come together. But he broke the appointment and you had to come to see me alone. Is this a lie?"
Wei Se said: "We did make an appointment to see you together that day. As for breaking the appointment... I waited in the flowers that night, planning to follow him into the sky area to chat with you as planned, and leave a good impression first. When the time was almost over, he suddenly came and said upon meeting him: 'The plan has changed, we can't follow this person anymore.'"
"Of course I was anxious and said, why has it changed again? Isn't he bad? Or have you found a better one? He said: 'No, it's precisely because this Tang Zhao is so good and eye-catching that he showed up at the venue today. There is so much limelight, and a big shot is eyeing him. He wants to be taken under his wing. So we have a mission. Tonight, we will first frame him for murder and discredit him, and then take advantage of him to be isolated and helpless, and then recruit him to join the gang.'"
Tang Zhao's mouth twitched when he heard it, but Jiang Shenyi heard it for the first time and couldn't help but get angry and cursed: "What the hell, is it that turtle bandit? No wonder it's called a bandit. Isn't this the bandit's way of making money by going up the mountain to recruit good people to join the bandit? "
Wei Se said: "I asked him, what about our plan? Are you not going to join the swordsmith? He said, let it go first. After all, we are his subordinates and we must put official business first. I said you Isn't this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? It's easy to give up today, but what if there is no chance in the future? He thought for a while and said: 'Actually, I have another plan. I think you can also see that the employer we are working for this time is not Kun Yu A small force like the Sword Sect, but a truly powerful force. It’s just that we didn’t touch the door and were wandering around the periphery. If this time the job is done beautifully, we might use this as a step to advance and join directly. What about that kind of big force with more abundant resources, which is much better than us struggling to chase after a so-called potential swordsmith...'"
He paused and said, "When he says this, I will kill him."
…
Tang Zhao and Jiang Shenyi were silent. After a while, Tang Zhao said softly: "If it were me, I wouldn't kill anyone."
Jiang Shenyi said: "I'm not sure. At least jump up and break his head."
Wei Se was silent for a moment and said softly: "Mr. Jiang understands me, and Mr. Tang understands me too."
Whether it was Jiang Shenyi or Tang Zhao, they all knew why Wei Se took action. It was certainly not a sudden sense of justice or sympathy for Tang Zhao who was about to be framed, but Wei Se himself couldn't bear it.
As Wei Se had said before, he hated Yama's Store and his precarious and hopeless life.
And... I also hate the ubiquitous and irresistible arrangement of Yama's shop.
Just like he stabbed Li Qiongsheng through with a knife and said every word in his ear:
"Why do you want to arrange it for me?"
After finally escaping from the suffocating King of Hell Store, he was dragged head-on by Li Qiongsheng into a conspiracy and rebel party. His only hope was that he would be free after "finishing this job", and he chose a suitable target. Victory He was looking forward to it, but the other party suddenly changed his mind. Not only did he want to destroy his goal, but he also wanted to package and sell him to this organization...
Why?
Just make your own decision? Just because you go back on your word? Just because you were my friend?
Go to hell you!
Tang Zhao and Jiang Shenyi understood his anger at the same time. Maybe they had different choices in this situation, but they would still feel that they could not bear it. Jiang Shenyi would also take action without any explanation. As for Tang Zhao - it depends on whether he can get the upper hand or not.
"After stabbing him, I didn't feel much - I'm used to killing people. I just felt confused, so I left him in the flower bed and stood there in a daze. At this time, I happened to see Mr. At that time, I suddenly felt this It was God's will. Now that I met Mr., it was destined. I immediately went up and chatted for a few words. I found that Mr. is really a kind and friendly person. He is polite and well-mannered after being drunk and has no arrogance. "
Tang Zhao thought about the first time he saw danger. Of course, he didn't realize that the rough-looking charlatan had just killed someone.
Jiang Shenyi sneered: "Do you still think that my junior brother is very innocent and kind, and is easy to deceive?"
Wei's look seemed to have a hint of embarrassment, and he said: "It's hard for me to hide it. I did have this intention at that time. After staying in the King of Hell's store for a long time, I like people who are innocent and lively, with emotions and anger. The killer must remain calm. If I It’s hard to express a natural expression without deliberately pretending. After I met my husband, I made up my mind to seize the opportunity instead of being a big influence. If I don’t do it, I will continue to rebel. It must be valuable. Therefore, I decided to reveal all the information I knew, including the identities of Zhang Shousong and the others, as well as their plan to frame Mr. Tang. I also used the identity of Li Qiongsheng to lure several of his accomplices to kill them together. I brought their bodies to seek refuge with Sir. Just to conceal my identity, I made up some of the process. Of course, I was too confident, and these fabrications failed to hide it from Sir. He also knew what happened next."
Tang Zhao was silent after hearing this. He had already guessed the key points of the cause and effect of this incident. Wei Se was just adding some details. Rather than solving the doubts, it was more of Wei Se's confession. It seems that most of it is the truth. If Wei Se is still lying now, then there will be no point in him traveling thousands of miles to catch up.
So the key lies in Tang Zhao's decision.
When Jiang Shenyi saw that Tang Zhao was silent, he said, "You didn't answer what my junior brother asked just now. There are so many Talisman Sword Masters out there, why did you still choose him firmly? With such incompatible personalities, how do you know that they won't turn against each other in the future? Do you really think he is childish? It’s easy to cheat, but people are stupid and have too much money?”
Wei Se said calmly: "I...I hate the King of Hell store."
This sentence came strangely, and Wei Se quickly said: "I didn't feel it when I was in the Yama's Store, but after I came out and recalled it carefully, the more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable I felt. It was like I had eaten flies for many years, and I chewed them carefully at that time. , the more I think about it now, the more disgusting I feel. I don’t want to stay in that kind of place at all. I want to find a place as far away from Yama’s store as possible, preferably the complete opposite of Yama’s store. The people in Yama’s store are cold and depressing. , good at calculation, only seeking profit, and will not get up early if there is no profit..."
Jiang Shenyi said with a smile: "You said that my junior brother is enthusiastic, out-of-touch, brainless, impulsive, and always looking for trouble..."
Tang Zhao interrupted him and said, "Senior brother, if others say I'll pay it back, how can you still say anything about me?"
What are you better than me in being impulsive?
Wei Se said seriously: "Mr. Tang is not brave, but has a delicate mind. He can see through my falsehoods and expose all my lies, which shows that he is extremely intelligent. However, such a smart person still has interests beyond himself. , the courage to move forward, and the benevolence to save people's lives regardless of past grudges, are hundreds of times stronger than ignorance and fearlessness. Before I met Mr., I didn't believe there was such a person. But now that I have seen him, I naturally have to try my best to catch up. If I miss it, maybe I will never see another one in my life. uu read books"
Jiang Shenyi touched his chin and said: "That's not a bad thing to say. With my junior brother's talents, it is not surprising at all that people are impressed. However, if the water is clear, there will be no fish. A loach would like to live in a mountain spring, but Are you getting used to it?"
Wei Se said: "I want to give it a try - the loach is not used to pure water. That is the problem of the loach. It means that it is only suitable to live in mud. I think I am more than that. I also want to crawl to a clean place. Climb, maybe you can wash away the mud, but I still have golden scales on my body? Please, sir, ferry me across." After that, he saluted respectfully.
Jiang Shenyi didn't say anything and just let Tang Zhao decide. Tang Zhao said slowly: "You don't like being restrained at heart. But you say you want me to be the master and follow my orders?"
Wei Se said: "Yes, it is not Mr. who restrains me, but me who restrains myself. This is my own choice. If one day I cannot restrain myself, I will naturally not be qualified to live in a clear ditch, and I will return to the quagmire." , I will end my life. But no matter what, I swear to my husband that if there is any overt or covert harm to my husband, I will die without a burial place."
Tang Zhao said: "I haven't started making swords yet, and there are many relatives and friends around me. If I want to make swords in the future, it won't be your turn."
Wei Se said: "A long journey will tell you a horse's power, and time will tell you a person's heart. I trust you, sir. If you feel that I am not worthy of being a swordsman in the future, it will definitely be my problem."
Tang Zhao laughed and said: "You are so persistent. I am not ready to be a teacher. So be it. I am in a hurry to return to Yunzhou and cannot go with you. If you are interested, go to Baiyu Shenghui Store at the foot of Jiugao Mountain in March. Look for me here. Oh, by the way, Mrs. Huarong also knows the address of that store. If you bump into her and something happens, you can only be responsible."
Wei Se's body tensed up, unable to hide his fear, and then he said word by word: "Now that you have made up your mind, you will never turn back. Wei Se - what's the point of fear?"
