Feeling the gazes cast by everyone, Cang Tian Qi's face did not fluctuate much. He only saw him taking a step forward, cupping his hands towards Cang Jun above and saying: "My son proposes to start a war."
King Cang raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the reason?"
"Xue Xing has shown such strength. If we agree to release him, even if we avoid this battle, Cang Lan's face will be gone. If Xue Xing comes to invade again next time, how should we respond?" Cang Tianqi asked.
After the words fell, the whole place fell into silence.
The eyes of the princes and ministers kept flickering. They knew that what Cang Tian Qi said was true. If Xue Xing knew that Cang Lan was not strong enough, he would probably find another opportunity to attack in the future.
Until then, there will still be war.
"Furthermore, Cang Lan's strength is not inferior to that of Xue Xing. Even if we start a war, we may not lose." Cang Tian Qi continued: "As for Confucius Mountain, is Father really sure that he can catch Xiao Muyang?"
King Cangjun's pupils condensed slightly, and he vaguely understood the implication of Cangtian Qi's words.
If the master takes Xiao Muyang and hides, catching him will be as difficult as climbing to the sky.
And if it is not caught, it will undoubtedly offend Xuexing and Fuzishan at the same time. Once Xiao Muyang grows up in the future, he will be a huge threat to Canglan. Although this may take a long time, it has to be considered now.
King Cang's eyes were filled with contemplation, as if he was weighing the pros and cons. No matter which strategy there were risks, it all depended on the choice.
Everyone held their breaths when they saw this, feeling uneasy in their hearts. Most of them actually wanted to hand over Xiao Muyang. The risk of war was too great. They didn't know how many people would die, so it would be better to sacrifice one person's life in exchange.
Finally, a sharp look flashed in the eyes of Cang Jun. He looked at Cang Tian Jun and ordered: "Immediately mobilize the Heavenly Realm people in the palace. In addition, send people to the major families in Tiancang City and let them select a group of people." Those who are powerful in heaven will go to Confucius Mountain to pick up people tomorrow!"
A bright light flashed in the eyes of Lord Cangtian and all the ministers. It seemed that the Lord decided to hand over the favor.
In comparison, this choice is less risky.
After all, there are only three people in Confucius Mountain. As long as they mobilize enough power, it is not difficult to take down Xiao Muyang.
Cang Tianqi raised his head and looked at the majestic figure above, feeling a little sad in his heart.
As a member of the royal family, he naturally loves the people of Canglan. Otherwise, he would not let Xingfan go when he was in Tianyao Mountain. However, now that the Snow Star army has come to kill them, they should not give in, let alone To buy peace at the cost of the life of a talented junior.
However, from the king's perspective, the cost of sacrificing one person is indeed the smallest.
His orders cannot be violated. He has tried his best, but in the end he can't change anything. Now he can only pray that Xiao Muyang can escape safely.
"Let's disperse." King Cang waved to everyone.
"Yes." Voices came out one after another from below, and everyone resigned and left one after another, but their hearts were still uneasy. The king will go to Confucius Mountain to retrieve people tomorrow, and I don't know if he can succeed.
Hope everything goes well, otherwise the situation will be even worse later.
…………
Confucius Mountain looked particularly peaceful under the darkness of night. On the edge of the cliff, two figures stood side by side. The young man was graceful, and the woman stood tall and graceful, adding a different charm to the night.
"Junior brother, what are you thinking about?" Chu Qingli turned to look at Xiao Muyang beside her and asked, her voice still so ethereal and touching.
"It's nothing, I'm just a little confused about the future." Xiao Muyang murmured to himself.
"Confused?" A trace of surprise appeared in Chu Qingli's beautiful eyes, and she chuckled: "You are not yet sixteen, are you? Are you feeling confused now?"
"Uh..." Xiao Muyang looked stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that he was only fifteen years old.
Most of his peers were still cultivating in schools, without much pressure, and focused on improving their cultivation, but he had begun to feel confused about the future, probably because his own experience was different from ordinary people.
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. It's enough to do the present. The future is too far away, and even the teacher can't completely see through it." Chu Qingli looked at Xiao Muyang and said seriously, as if to comfort him.
"Senior sister is so kind." Xiao Muyang looked at Chu Qingli and smiled, feeling waves of warmth flowing through his heart. He didn't expect that senior sister with such a cold personality could comfort people, which was a bit beyond his expectation.
At this moment, Xiao Muyang and Chu Qingli seemed to sense something. They turned around at the same time and saw an old figure walking towards them.
Xiao Muyang's face looked a little strange. If I remember correctly, this was the first time the teacher came out at night.
Could it be that he is in a good mood tonight and wants to take a breather?
"Teacher, have you slept well these days?" Xiao Muyang asked with a smile, with a hint of joking in his tone.
"Not very good." The old man waved his hand.
"Huh?" Xiao Muyang looked confused, wondering if you didn't sleep well, why did you still sleep for so long?
"It seems it's time to sleep somewhere else." The old man said leisurely, causing Xiao Muyang and Chu Qingli's eyes to freeze. Sleep somewhere else?
"Teacher, are you planning to leave here?" Xiao Muyang asked tentatively.
"Well, I have this plan." The old man nodded.
"Where are you going?" Xiao Muyang asked again, feeling a little hopeful in his heart. He should be leaving Canglan Country, right?
"I haven't decided yet." The old man looked at Xiao Muyang and said calmly: "Where you go as a teacher has nothing to do with you. Just take care of yourself."
Xiao Muyang looked stunned. It had nothing to do with him?
What does this mean?
"You go down the mountain tonight, and don't come back again. You won't see me when you come back." The old man said to Xiao Muyang and Chu Qingli, as if he was explaining the funeral arrangements.
"Teacher, you don't really want to leave us behind, do you?" Xiao Muyang looked at the old man in shock. If this was really the case, it would be too irresponsible.
"Practice depends on oneself. I have taught you everything a teacher should teach you. From now on, it depends on your own destiny." The old man said, his face no longer as casual as usual, but now there was a hint of seriousness.
Seeing the old man's expression, Xiao Muyang trembled inwardly, and his eyes couldn't help but change. He suddenly realized that the teacher didn't seem to be joking.
Is this really going to put them down?
"Qingli, you are senior sister. In the future, you should take more care of your junior brother and don't let others bully him." The old man looked at Chu Qingli again and ordered.
"Disciple understands." Chu Qingli nodded lightly, but there were tears in her eyes. There was a bit of sadness on her pure face. She had been staying by the teacher's side since she was a child. Now, the teacher is about to leave. She left.
"Teacher, where are you going? We can go find you later." Xiao Muyang asked, feeling his nose sore. Although they had only been together for more than two months, he was still extremely reluctant to say goodbye suddenly.
"There is no need to deliberately look for a teacher. When the time comes, we will meet naturally." The old man spoke slowly, with a sense of vicissitudes in his tone, as if he had seen through everything in the world.
As if he had thought of something, the old man looked at Xiao Muyang again and said: "Last time you asked if you could find your parents. Now I can reveal something to you. Your parents are not here. If you want to find them, you can To break the shackles of heaven and earth.”
"Not in this world?" Xiao Muyang's heart shook violently, with a look of shock in his eyes. So where are they?
What does it mean to break the shackles of heaven and earth?
He couldn't understand what the teacher said at all.
"Teacher..." Xiao Muyang was about to ask, but the old man waved his hand and said calmly: "There is no need to ask further. When the time comes, you will understand the meaning of this sentence."
After the words fell, the old man turned and walked towards the direction of the thatched cottage.
Looking at the old man's slightly stooped back, Xiao Muyang felt inexplicably sad. He felt that the teacher was burdened with a lot, but he never revealed the slightest. Under the seemingly casual teachings, there was actually a heavy burden hidden behind him. Caring.
Chu Qingli's eyes were red at this time, and this was the first time in twenty years that she shed tears.
It turned out that this was the feeling of parting. She felt so uncomfortable and her breathing became much harder.
"You go down the mountain now and don't come back again."
A vicissitudes of sound came from the thatched house. When the sound fell, the door of the thatched house was closed, as if cutting off the old man's connection with the outside world.
"Teacher..." Xiao Muyang's eyes finally shed tears, and he was very sad. He didn't expect the parting to come so quickly, which caught him off guard.
"Bang." Xiao Muyang was seen kneeling on the ground with his knees banging, and he knocked his head three times in the direction of the thatched house, making a heavy sound each time, as if to express his gratitude to the teacher.
Although the teacher only really taught him the three sword skills, he will always treasure the relationship between master and disciple in his heart and will never forget it.
After a long time, Xiao Muyang stood up and said to Chu Qingli: "Ninth Senior Sister, let's go down the mountain."
"Where do you plan to go?" Chu Qingli asked.
Xiao Muyang suddenly looked stunned. He didn't think about this issue. Where should he go next?
His hometown is in Qingzhou City, but his father and mother have left and are missing. Now his only relative is Gu Xing. However, if he returns to Tiancang City and is found, the royal family may be in trouble. Someone will be sent to catch him soon.
Chu Qingli looked at Xiao Muyang with her beautiful eyes, seeming to guess what he was thinking, and said softly: "You can go wherever you want, senior sister will accompany you."
Xiao Muyang raised his head, his eyes suddenly became a little brighter, and then he said in a deep voice: "Then go to Tiancang City!"
"It's up to you." Chu Qingli smiled and nodded, with a firm look in her eyes. No matter what decision her junior brother made, she would stay with him and protect him from all wind and rain.
Then two figures rose into the sky and disappeared into the dark night in an instant.
After the two left, the door of the thatched cottage opened again, and the old man walked out. His cloudy eyes were a bit moist, and his eyes looked extremely kind and kind.
"I don't know when we will meet next time. I hope that by then you can both become a hero and a phoenix among men, and don't let me down." The old man murmured to himself, and then the old figure gradually became blurred, and finally disappeared out of thin air. !
