The situation in the world is rising, and the commanders of the Imperial Guards have changed. The newly appointed Mr. Lu used the Nanshan Immortal to prove that his way of handling things is even better than that of Meng Yuan, and he also treats the world with a tough attitude.
Nanshan Immortal was captured and beheaded only one day after being imprisoned. His head was hung on the city tower for public display. The Jinyiwei proved with practical actions that they would never compromise in the slightest.
In front of the bloody head, some people mourned, some cursed, and most people were afraid. Jin Yiwei's methods became more cruel and cruel, even more inhumane than before.
But compared to the dead Nanshan Immortal, the world today is more concerned about another matter. The Hengshan Sect was entrusted by the Qingcheng Sect and sent disciples to help the Nanshan Immortal escape, but the result was a failure.
Not only did they fail, the disciples of the Hengshan Sect were also captured by the Jin Yiwei. Now several thousand households in Fusi, Beizhen, are gearing up and planning to go to Hengshan to find out what happened.
Although everyone knows that there are many Jianghu people who secretly help Nanshan Immortal to fight against the imperial will, but these people either died unexpectedly or are unknown people. There may be a few with bigger backgrounds, but they did it secretly and did not let Jin Yiwei catch them. handle.
The world is moral and ethical, and the court also has rules and regulations. The shackles called "rules" that bind everyone are not only a means for everyone to show off their skills on the stage, but also the bottom line.
It is these rules that constrain the Jin Yiwei, preventing them from killing without restraint, but it is also these rules that constrain countless knights and knights, letting them know that the Jin Yiwei cannot do whatever they want, and understand that this rule is a shield to protect them, so All the fears in my heart should be restrained in my actions, so as not to jump over the wall in a hurry and cause chaos in the world.
Now, Shi Suxue, an inner disciple of the Hengshan Sect, was captured by Jin Yiwei. The evidence was conclusive. Shuang'er, an outer disciple who fled back to Hengshan, confessed everything.
Those Jianghu guests who were in Hengshan and came from all over the world to rescue the Nanshan Immortal were all present. Now this matter has spread throughout the Jianghu.
Jin Yiwei drew a line between the Jianghu and the imperial court. This line is the rule and the bottom line. After this line, no matter how much trouble the Jianghu people make, they will be invisible. But once this line is crossed, they will immediately be destroyed. disaster.
Since everyone is playing according to the rules of the game, if the Hengshan faction loses, it means that their skills are not as good as others, and naturally they have nothing to say.
After all, helping imperial prisoners escape is a chivalrous act in the world and should be widely publicized. In various stories, these great knights became famous in the face of the imperial court.
But, if this kind of thing is applauded by everyone in the world, it can be called chivalry, but if it is put in the imperial court, it is just disobedience and the annihilation of the nine tribes.
This is why the stories of these heroes are either fabricated stories or stories from the past, because in actual practice, the heroes who dare to step on the court's face and become famous will die sooner as they become more famous.
It is often those who do things anonymously who can live a long time. For example, Liang Benlang, the former leader of the Beggars Gang, was a chivalrous and righteous man. He had already done countless great things, but he had clean hands and feet, and he never Leave your name behind so that the court will have no clues.
That's why everyone praises Liang Benlang as a hero, but if he really asks someone to talk about his achievements in detail, he can't say a single word. This is how a real hero behaves.
Talking back to the Hengshan Sect, this time they helped the Nanshan Immortal reveal his flaws. Now that a disaster is approaching, two different voices have emerged from the Hengshan Sect.
One party advocated rescuing people. Shi Suxue and they were both disciples of the Hengshan sect and were close disciples of the former leader. They had to save them no matter what. Moreover, the other party was in trouble because of a righteous act, so it was even more important to save them.
The other side felt that the Hengshan sect was no longer what it used to be. Shi Jiuning died suddenly, and there was no support within their sect. The older generation of apprentices had to work hard to hold the sect together, and the new generation of disciples were still very immature, which was the most important thing. At that time, how could the entire sect be put in danger for just one disciple?
Now in the Hengshan main hall, the disciples divided into two factions are already quarreling with each other.
"Everyone, no matter how you say it, Suxue is a disciple of our Hengshan sect. Now that she has fallen into the hands of the Jin Yiwei, as a member of the same sect, she actually refuses to save her. How do our colleagues in the world view us?"
The speaker, whose Taoist name is Mingyu, is a disciple of the same generation as the former head Shi Jiuning. She is now in charge of the Hengshan sect with several other sisters and sisters. She is also a sect that advocates saving people.
"Senior Sister Mingyu, you and I both know that the leader passed away suddenly, and the Taishan Sect is still eyeing it. The Hengshan Sect is now in a state of crisis. If we continue to have bad relations with the Jinyiwei, will we really see the Hengshan's century-old foundation destroyed? For our generation?”
The person who made the rebuttal was called Yu Fang, who was Mingyu's contemporary and her junior sister. She and most others believed that one should not save people without permission, otherwise the division would be in trouble.
Yu Fang's words were supported by many people, and another person also advised: "Senior Sister Mingyu, we can't live in vain and cause real trouble."
Mingyu said angrily with a straight face: "Junior sister, what you said is ridiculous! What a false name but a real disaster! Are you asking us to watch the disciples left behind by Senior Sister Jiuning die?"
"Senior sister, that's not what I meant..." The man retreated to the back in shame.
"Sister, listen to me."
Yu Fang sighed and said: "We have watched Suxue grow up together. Do you think it is because I am cruel that I told her to die in vain? If we are facing someone from the devil this time, even if it is the Xuantian Sect, I will Everyone will fight resolutely, but that is the Jin Yiwei, senior sister, do you understand?"
Everyone knew that the Jinyiwei would not tolerate the Jianghu sect, and Shi Suxue fell into their hands. If they didn't save it, maybe one person would die, but if they did, it would be a disaster for the whole family.
In an emergency, the friendship between the master and the sect cannot become a moral shackle that affects decision-making. What they want to protect is not one or two disciples, but the century-old inheritance of the sect.
Mingyu looked at the fellow disciples in front of her with disappointment. She took a deep breath, picked up her sword, turned around and left. Yu Fang's eyes narrowed and she immediately asked everyone to step forward to stop them.
"Get out of the way, if you don't go, I'll go on my own, and I promise I won't let you get involved." Mingyu's heartbroken eyes swept across, and everyone lowered their heads in shame, not daring to look at him.
"Senior Sister Mingyu, you Hu Tu, why do you think Jin Yiwei must arrest Suxue, but let Shuang'er go? If you take action, the situation will be worse than Suxue. The charges Jin Yiwei gave us will also be One more thing and it will be really doomed."
Yu Fang persuaded her earnestly: "Sister, our school is our home. We must protect this home, even if we have to sacrifice the lives of one or two disciples. It is for the good of everyone and the good of this family."
Mingyu sighed deeply, and her heavy gaze fell on Yu Fang. She said quietly: "Junior sister, since you said that this sect is our home, do you know that since ancient times, the function of home is to protect That disciple you say can be sacrificed at will, you are putting the cart before the horse."
"..."
Yu Fang's eyes flickered, but she still refused to give in. The two faced each other in silence. At this time, a young disciple outside the door hurriedly came to report——
"Master Uncle Yu! Master Mingyu! Jin Yiwei sent a letter!"
