Wei Ziyan did not answer Heiying's question, but asked: "Did your master make this Songhua Cake?"
"Yes. What, isn't it to your liking, senior?"
"The craftsmanship is first-class and the taste is excellent, very good." Wei Ziyan commented, but then frowned and said: "It's just——"
"My master has only been learning for half a month, so it's normal to have some flaws." Heiying said.
"Have you just studied for half a month?"
"Yes." Heiying said, "My master said that if senior likes it, he can cook it for senior every day from now on."
Wei Ziyi suddenly fell into silence. After a while, he suddenly sighed and muttered to himself: "So it's not you."
"Senior, what did you say?" Wei Ziyan's voice was very low and unclear, and the shadow couldn't hear what he said clearly.
"I told you to let your master worry about it. It's a pity that I am old and can't eat too many sweets." Wei Ziyu said.
"My master said it doesn't matter. Just tell me what you like to eat, senior. She is willing to learn it for him and then cook it for him to eat." Heiying said.
When Wei Ziyan heard this, the string in his heart was touched, and his old body trembled suddenly. This sentence made him happy and heartbroken at the same time. What made him happy was that he had been waiting for this sentence for too long and it finally came to him. What made him sad was that he didn't want this sentence to be mixed with anything other than emotion. Other factors, but the letter lying in the food box told him that what she did for him and every word she said had a purpose.
He was reluctant, but eventually picked up the envelope.
puff--
After reading the letter, Wei Ziyan's face instantly turned pale, and a blood arrow spurted out from his mouth. He staggered, stepped back several steps, and almost fell to the ground.
His expression was miserable, his eyes became cloudy and dim, his lips were trembling, and he opened his mouth to say something, but in the end nothing came out.
The dark shadow under the pine and cypress trees was extremely surprised, wanting to know what was written in the letter, which could confuse the mind of a star power and even make him vomit blood in grief. Seeing Wei Ziyan's desolate and hopeless eyes, without any trace of life, he couldn't help but frown, feeling that this letter was really inappropriate. Now was the time to rely on Wei Ziyu's strength to stimulate him so hard. What if he got hurt? If you don't, wouldn't it mean that you lose a large battle force in vain? It's not worth it.
"Go back and tell your master—" Wei Ziyan took a deep breath to calm down the surging energy and blood, and said in a hoarse and sad voice: "I agreed to what she asked me to do."
When the black shadow heard this, his body trembled violently, and his cheeks hidden under the black scarf were instantly bloodshot. Blue veins bulged out from under the skin due to excessive excitement, or because he was too emotionally excited. His figure hidden in the void was... Revealed.
"Senior is a powerful star. He keeps his word and follows the rules, but he can't just talk nonsense." The black shadow hurriedly re-hidden the exposed figure into the void and confirmed to Wei Ziyan.
"Since I agreed to her matter, I will definitely do it. Just take my words back with you," Wei Ziyu said.
The black shadow looked overjoyed and hurriedly bowed his hands to Wei Ziyan and said: "I wish my seniors a great success in advance. When the dynasty is established and rewards are given, I will not treat my seniors badly."
Wei Ziyan waved his hand with his back to him.
"Junior, please take your leave."
"Wait a moment."
"Senior, what are your orders? Do you need junior to prepare some troops? If you have any needs, senior, just ask, and junior will fully cooperate with senior." Black Shadow said.
"You asked me before, how can a person who is burdened with sin and lives in repentance all day overcome his inner demons and improve his cultivation by leaps and bounds? I can tell you clearly that there is no such person in the world."
"and you--"
"I never felt that I was guilty, and I never regretted it." Wei Ziyan knew what Heiying wanted to ask, so he interrupted him directly and gave the answer.
The black shadow's pupils suddenly shrank, and he asked angrily: "You single-handedly destroyed the Wei Dynasty and the foundation of your ancestors. Why do you have no sins and why don't you repent? Is your heart made of iron?"
"Why do I need you to judge?" Wei Ziyi said with a flick of his sleeves.
"Okay, okay!" The black shadow said three good words in a row, gritted his teeth and said: "When the Wei family's royal flag stands again over the imperial capital, I will let the world judge your merits and demerits, and let you hear the world with your own ears. What people say about you.”
"I'm waiting!" Wei Ziyu said.
"Farewell!"
Zhiyo——
As soon as the black shadow left, Zhou Jianlai pushed open the wooden door of the small courtyard and walked in. He saw Wei Ziyan standing by the stone table. He hurriedly walked forward and said as he walked: "Master, you are awake. The Peach Blossoms of Guiyuanfang Niang, I called you. I was passing by the street corner and saw Granny Wang’s sesame cakes just coming out of the oven, so I bought four of them. "
Wei Ziyan stroked his sleeves gently, and the blood he had just sprayed on the ground and the stone table disappeared immediately. He responded and sat down on the stone bench, asking: "Yesterday, I snatched the two True Dragon Sword Intentions from the Yaowanggu boy. Is there anyone?" What’s the gain?”
Zhou Jianlai paused for a moment, then scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I've been drinking all night, and I haven't had time to realize it yet. I'm slacking off, please be punished by Master."
"Haha, drinking is one of the great pleasures in life. You should drink it if you can." Wei Ziyan laughed, took the wine bottle Zhou Jianlai had placed on the stone table, and said, "I will have two more drinks with you, my master."
"Forgive me for the offence." Zhou Jianlai smiled and sat down on the stone bench, took the wine flask from Wei Ziyan's hand, and filled a cup for him and himself.
"Master, why do you look so bad?" Zhou Jianlai suddenly noticed that Wei Ziyan's face looked bad and asked with concern.
Wei Ziyan glanced at him sideways and said, "Do you think that sword attack last night was so easy to kill?"
"Oh" Wei Ziyi didn't tell the truth, but Zhou Jianlai didn't doubt it. After all, it sounded impossible to kill someone with half a step with one sword, so Wei Ziyi said that the sword attack last night was not easy to kill, so he didn't doubt it at all. Thinking of Wei Ziyan's sword strike last night, he couldn't help but become excited and said, "Master, your sword strike last night was so handsome!"
"I have always been handsome!" Wei Ziyan stroked his beard and laughed, "When I was as old as you, I would have already surpassed half a step in the power."
"Ouch!" Zhou Jianlai opened his mouth in shock. Seeing that Wei Ziyan's expression didn't look like he was talking nonsense, he was even more shocked and said in surprise: "You - you have reached the ninth level of cultivation at the age of eighteen?!"
"That's not true." Wei Ziyan shook his head and said, "When I was eighteen years old, I was only at the fifth level of cultivation."
"A powerful person who can cut through half a step in the fifth level of heaven?" Zhou Jianlai was dumbfounded.
Wei Ziyan nodded with a smile and said: "Listen carefully, sword repair is about swords. As long as the sword core is sharp enough, the sword in your hand will be sharp enough. If you want to cut, it can cut for you! So, don't be too Pay attention to the realm of cultivation. When your sword heart reaches a sufficient level, your cultivation will naturally come naturally! If you have the will of the sword heart, you should achieve a higher level than me."
"Disciple, remember the master's teachings and will work hard to cultivate and live up to your expectations!" Zhou Jianlai said. After speaking, he picked up the wine pot and filled Wei Ziyan's wine glass. After hesitating for a moment, he finally said: "Master, Qin Zhenghao, the lord of Baiyun City. He died in battle, Baiyun City is in danger, and the disciple wants to go north with the army and contribute as much as possible to Baiyun City."
"Okay." Wei Ziyan nodded cheerfully, "But we have to wait for another five days. In five days, my master will leave the city for a trip. You can see me off."
"Ah? Where are you going?
Zhou Jianlai asked in surprise. As far as he knew, Wei Ziyu had not left Yancheng for decades.
"Go to a far away place, and you may never come back." Wei Ziyan looked at the food box on the stone table and sighed. He drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, stood up and walked towards the main hall with his hands behind his hands. He said as he walked: " At that time, the Wei Dynasty was in such dire straits that it was like a piece of rotten wood that was riddled with holes by insects. It was completely hopeless. The people were all living in dire straits, and there were successive natural disasters. Not only did the government do nothing, but Desperately squeezing their last living space, the officials eventually forced the people to rebel. There were countless rebel kings in the four directions for a time, but they eventually fought and annexed each other, forming the strongest four-way rebel king. However, the officers and soldiers of the Wei Dynasty were weak It’s unbearable, the rebels are only dozens of miles away, but they are so scared that they abandon their armor.”
Zhou Jianlai stood up and followed Wei Ziyu with a solemn expression, listening quietly.
"In the end, the southern rebels led by Su Hanlin were the first to arrive at the imperial capital. They wanted to seize the imperial capital, ascend the throne and proclaim themselves emperor, achieving imperial hegemony. The division led 500 personal guards to attack the city gate army, opened the city gate, and captured Su Hanlin. Several million rebels were released into the imperial capital. When the rebels entered the city, the consequences can be imagined."
When Zhou Jianlai heard about this for the first time, his heart was trembling and he did not dare to speak.
"As a result, my teacher became the eternal sinner of the Wei Dynasty, and was hated by thousands of people and reviled by thousands of people. My teacher has never explained this matter to anyone. I am telling you today because I don't want anyone to tell you in the future. This incident affects your state of mind."
Zhou Jianlai bent his knees to kneel down, but Wei Ziyan turned around and grabbed him, telling him to just listen.
"At that time, the Wei Dynasty had only one lonely imperial capital left, like a lamb trapped in a cage waiting to be slaughtered. The four rebel kings were like four ferocious beasts, coming from all directions. The defeat of the Wei Dynasty was a foregone conclusion. At that time, the entire territory of Dayu was like - not like, but a real hell on earth, with natural disasters, wars, plagues, famines, etc., and at least hundreds of thousands of people died every day."
"If the imperial capital fights to the death behind closed doors and all the other three groups of rebels arrive at the city, then there will be a four-party melee. I don't know how long this war will last. But Dayu only has so few people in total and cannot withstand hundreds of thousands of people a day. Damn it, if I fight for another year and a half, how many living people will I, Dayu, have left?"
"With a cruel heart, I opened the city gate and let Su Hanlin into the imperial capital. I asked the teacher that among the four rebels against the king, Su Hanlin is the best to the people in the territory. Just like killing Zhang butcher, he would rather offend him The wealthy families and sect gangs in the entire southern territory also want to grab a bite of food for the hungry people. They may not be able to eat at all, but they can save their lives at least. Therefore, I feel that it is best to hand over the country of the Wei Dynasty to Such a person shouldn’t be too bad.”
"Su Hanlin did not disappoint his master. After occupying the imperial capital, he wiped out the other three rebels across the world, and then sent troops from all directions to drive away the invading thieves one by one. Only then did Dayu finally end the decades-long war, and the people Finally a breather.”
"So I never felt that I did anything wrong."
"As for carrying sins and repenting for the rest of your life, that's even more nonsense."
"It's him who should repent! He single-handedly ruined the Wei Dynasty and the foundation of his ancestors!" Wei Ziyu pointed at a spiritual tablet and shouted.
Wei Ren'en, his father, the last emperor of the Wei Dynasty.
Wei Ziyi's hatred for him went deep into his bones, because he did not care about government affairs, only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, was extravagant and debauched, so that the court was abandoned, and the entire Wei Dynasty fell into an irreparable abyss of corruption, which eventually led to the collapse of the Wei Dynasty. The dynasty fell because of his excessive debauchery, ignoring his pleading and taking away his most beloved woman.
A father who robs his son's woman is a big deal in the world!
