"Kill your parents? I have been on the throne for almost twenty years. Not to mention my kindness, I am very busy with official duties every day. How can I have time to kill your parents?" Yang Yi looked at Xie Wule and shook his head and smiled: " Xu Bu Lao, I think you must have been deceived by others, so please ask your master to leave, and I will not pursue what you have done today. If you are still stubborn, then you and your master will not be able to leave the palace today!"
"You didn't even ask who my parents were, so you just denied it." Xie Wule glared at Yang Yi, and suddenly sneered: "The world says you are Qingming, and I was still hesitant about whether to assassinate you, but now it seems that I am right. Damn it! I really don’t think you have the consciousness at all that the emperor breaks the law and the common people are guilty of the same crime." In Xie Wule's eyes, Yang Yi was also a murderer.
When Emperor Yanqing was told this, he also realized that he had indeed been in a hurry when he denied it. Instead, he looked guilty. He frowned and asked, "Who are your parents?"
"My parents are the Emperor and Queen of Da'an who died in your hands nineteen years ago!"
In the void.
The two people turned into streams of light and exchanged hundreds of blows. Their bodies were no longer entangled and they all retreated.
Xiao Zizai was holding a broken sword, with his true energy extending out to a sharp point. He was panting heavily and looking at Fan Shihao across from him. Fan Shihao's long sword hung by his side, his chest rising and falling slightly. You can tell who is strong and who is weak at a glance.
"Xiao Zizai, you don't want to be like before. You would take people as disciples and protect your little ones like this. You are not as aloof and unrestrained as before." Fan Shihao laughed at Xiao Zizai's dejected appearance. If he hadn't been distracted by the little fox on his shoulder when fighting him, he might not have been so relaxed.
"What do I do to you? Stop talking nonsense, it's not certain who will win today!" Xiao Zizai once again turned into a cluster of dazzling white light and attacked Fan Shihao.
"I became emperor more than seven hundred years before you. Do you think you will be my opponent?" Fan Shihao roared, and his momentum exploded. The long sword beside him immediately split into two, and the two turned into four. There were thousands of them. Fan Shihao waved his sword and all the sword shadows flew towards Xiao Zizai quickly.
"Do you think you can stop me with more swords? Seven hundred years ago, you managed to break through the Immortal Emperor by chance. With my cultivation as Daluo Jinxian, I could fight you for several days. I could even surpass a realm and severely injure you. I accidentally hit you later. I was killed by you and my soul was destroyed. Who would have thought that I would become an emperor before my life was exhausted? If you and I are of the same level of cultivation today, I can naturally kill you with my sword!"
The group of swords blasted towards Xiao Zizai. Not only did Xiao Zizai not slow down, his stream of light became even faster. Fan Shihao's thousands of sword shadows disappeared instantly as soon as they touched it.
"Okay! Then let me see if your title of Sword Immortal is true!" This was also said seven hundred years ago. Fan Shihao's momentum increased again, and the sword shadows continued to multiply, all crashing into Xiao Zizai.
Under the attack of countless sword shadows, the stream of light was like breaking bamboo, killing all the way, but the sword shadow could not keep up with the reduction speed. Fan Shihao saw this, and a long sword flew into his hand. As soon as he held it tightly, Xiao Zizai turned into white light. He rushed out of the group of swords, and Fan Shihao flew out with his sword. The two swords touched each other. Suddenly, a wave of true energy spread out in a ring with the two as the center. Wherever it went, the void was broken and peeled off.
"Quickly retreat!" The four sons of Taixu felt a strong wave and instantly became unstable. They even said that they were discovered by Fan Shihao, but the four flew far away and did not see Fan Shihao chasing them. They looked at each other in confusion.
"You are Xie Le! The prince of the former dynasty!" Emperor Yanqing was stunned and immediately responded: "I destroyed the An Dynasty, but your parents were not killed by me, they both committed suicide. As long as they recognize the establishment of the Kang Dynasty , if they don’t do evil, I can still make them rich, and I have never thought of taking their lives.”
"Sophistry! If I led a large army to the palace today to seize power and destroy the Kang Dynasty, I told you that you can survive as long as you identify with my country. As the king of a country, what would you do? You Will you give up your dignity and live?" Xie Wule became more and more excited as he spoke: "Even if you didn't kill him yourself, it was because of you!"
Emperor Yanqing was silent. Indeed, as Xie Wule said, who wants to be the king of a subjugated country? The ministers who followed him in the past died one by one, and he still had to acknowledge the enemy's merits to survive, haha.
"Then it is right to let the people of the world suffer? The An Dynasty was fatuous and the people were not able to make a living. I also followed the will of the people! After the establishment of the Kang Dynasty, I recovered the lost land, put the people first, appointed talented people with lofty ideals, developed medical care, promoted industry and commerce, and the people Life has been greatly improved. What have I done wrong? Do I deserve to die?" Emperor Yanqing sat on the dragon chair, with his hands on his sides and a commanding voice.
"Then I don't have to take revenge for killing my father and mother?" Xie Wule was not afraid to ask.
There was silence in the palace. Both of them are not wrong, they just have different positions.
"Boom -" With a loud noise, Xiao Zizai flew out of the void and fell hard to the ground. His hand broke the sword and he let go. Xiao Xiao also flew out, and the three of them rolled far away before sliding to a stop on the ground. Fan Shihao showed up immediately. Both of their upper body clothes were gone.
Fan Shihao glanced at Xiao Zizai, who was lying on the ground, and felt the blood rushing to his heart. He couldn't hold it back, blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and the diagonal wound on his chest slowly began to bleed.
The corner of Xiao Zizai's mouth was bright red and he turned over and tried to hold himself up, but failed after several attempts.
Xie Wule looked at the broken sword that had slipped to his toes, with only the hilt left and a tear on it. He hurriedly looked at Xiao Zizai and wanted to go to help him up, but he couldn't move: "Master, hurry up Unlock your spell and I will help you.”
Xiao Zizai looked at Xie Wule and smiled helplessly, shaking his head. How can I have the strength to maintain the environment and protect Xie Wule now? He turned to Fan Shihao again, and about to speak, he fainted.
"Master, are you okay?" Yang Yi asked with concern when he saw that Fan Shihao was a little unsteady on his feet.
Fan Shihao turned his back to Yang Yi, shook his head, and walked towards Xie Wule.
Xie Wule held the dagger tightly in his hand. Seeing the shocking wound on Fan Shihao's chest, he was instinctively afraid. He also watched Fan Shihao getting closer and closer, but there was nothing he could do. Fan Shihao came to Xie Wule and looked him up and down: "Yang Yi has known about your existence and your identity for a long time. He can send someone to kill you directly. Why do you think you are still alive and can come to assassinate him?"
"Haha, didn't he?" Xie Wule sneered disdainfully: "Isn't Guo Li the one you sent? Uncle Liu and Liu Yucheng both died in his hands. If someone hadn't saved me, I would have died long ago! "
"I did ask Guo Li to kill Liu Changqing, but I didn't order anyone else to be killed." Yang Yi shook his head in denial.
"You fart, you did something but didn't dare to admit it, what a villain!" Xie Wule scolded back: "Not long ago, I went to General Qiang's house. If someone hadn't reminded me, I would have died there. Calculate it carefully. , you should also know why I want to kill you, is this not just the revenge of killing my father and my mother?"
"Qiang Bai was also executed by me. I found someone to pretend to be him, but do you know why?" Emperor Yanqing could have killed Xie Wule directly now, but he still wanted to clear up Xie Wule's misunderstanding and said.
"No one I execute is innocent. I am aware of the traces of you and your group and will monitor them at all times. If Liu Changqing remains stable in Yunbian City, I will not pay attention to him. However, if he later writes to contact others to instigate rebellion, I will naturally Don’t leave him alone.”
"Qiang Bai, I cherished his talent and allowed him to serve as a general. However, once he was encouraged by Liu Changqing, he joined it. I was so heartbroken. In order to attract more rebels and learn more about the plan, I did not include him. When the news of Qiang Bai's execution came out, it was because he held military power and I didn't know if there were any remaining generals, so I had to change part of the track gauge, which made Ye Jianjun, who was loyal to me, unhappy."
"During this period, I didn't let anyone kill you. It was precisely because I didn't find that you had any intention to cause trouble. Then you met "Qiang Bai" and said that you just wanted to live in peace for the rest of your life. I was even more relieved about you. , so I don’t send people to monitor you. Who would have thought that this is also a lie. Otherwise, if you think that I want you to die, and casually send more than a hundred people with advanced skills to surround you, can you survive the next day? That desire will put you in danger The people who died were not sent by me."
Xie Wule listened quietly and was speechless for a moment. What Yang Yi said made sense, but he still persisted and gritted his teeth: "Since the Kang Dynasty was clear and bright, then the change of dynasties or the choice of the times, but killing the father and killing the mother I must avenge you!"
A few breaths passed, and the wound on Fan Shihao's chest was almost healed. Xie Wule felt a gust of wind coming from all around. Fan Shihao once again put on a robe, and then the scene in his eyes changed and became blank, leaving only himself and Fan Shihao.
Xie Wule subconsciously moved away from Fan Shihao and stepped back. The distance gradually became farther and farther, and then he realized that he was now close enough to move. His eyes quickly scanned the surroundings. There was nothing but a blank surrounding, and at the same time it seemed boundless.
Fan Shihao moved slightly and appeared in front of Xie Wule again: "Since the war, our world has been wiped out for a generation, and the cultivation system has also been disrupted. For a long time, there has not been anyone with such strong innate energy as you. If you can change your mind, I will let you go."
Just as Xie Wule was about to speak, Fan Shihao said again: "Before you make a decision, let me ask you a question. Please think carefully before answering me."
Xie Wule didn't know what he was doing, but he had no choice and nodded in agreement.
"Is it okay to kill one person to benefit the world?"
Xie Wule was stunned. Such a simple question did not require thinking at all: "That is natural."
Fan Shihao grinned: "I thought so too at first."
at first? Now: "Is there any other answer? Is one person's life worth the world's lives?" Xie Wule asked.
"I don't have any other answer, but I have asked many people this question. Most people's answers are the same as you and me, but one person is different." Fan Shihao looked happy as he recalled the past.
A child in tattered clothes walked over to a man who looked like an old beggar with dirty and long eyebrows and sat down next to him. The man didn't even look at the child. The two of them sat in silence. The sky turned dark and the child got up and left.
The next day, the child came to the man again. Different from yesterday, the child sat for a while and then left. Not long after, he came back with two steamed buns and handed one to the man. The man was not polite and took it directly. Pass. The two of them remained speechless, and the boy left as dusk approached.
For a long time, children came every day, sometimes bringing some food, but most of the time they were empty-handed.
"Is it okay to kill one person to benefit the world?"
The child turned back to look at the man with surprised eyes. The next moment he said happily: "It turns out you can talk!"
"Is it okay to kill one person to benefit the world?" The man seemed not to have heard the child and repeated the question just now.
"Kill one person to benefit the world! Is that okay?" The tone became stronger every time.
The child thought for a moment: "No. Of course not."
"It can't be done?" The man suddenly became energetic and turned to look at the child with wide eyes: "Then tell me why it can't be done!"
"I don't know what that man did, and why the whole world can benefit from killing him. Even if he is a heinous person, the punishment for killing him should be the law, not our will."
"Then, if you kill him, you can save the lives of 10,000 people, right? He is innocent, and so are the 10,000 people. Which is more important?" The man chased after him.
"Same weight."
The man smiled. Sure enough, the child was still a child. He turned his head back: "If you don't kill him, the ten thousand people will die. If you kill him, the ten thousand people will survive. Ten thousand to one, why?" Maybe it’s the same?”
The child shook his head: "The country has its own laws, and you should respect the laws when doing things. Killing innocent people is harmful to national laws. You are harmful to national laws without knowing it, but you think you are doing chivalrous and righteous things. I worry about those who think like this. ."
The man pondered: "What should we do?" He was shocked that a child could say such a thing.
"Then we need to find out the ins and outs of the matter. Punish whoever wants to harm these 10,000 people. If it is another person, send officers and soldiers to capture him; if it is a group, order law enforcement agencies to get rid of him; If it is a natural disaster, we will fight against it; if it is a man-made disaster, we will hold people accountable; if it is a system, we will reform it."
"Is this kid you?" Xie Wule was quite surprised that there was someone with such an opinion.
Fan Shihao smiled and said: "Didn't I say that my thoughts are the same as yours? How could that child be me?" "Who is that?"
"Emperor Yanqing, Yang Yi." Fan Shihao said: "The people's aspirations are not for the dynasty, but for the people who govern the world. If you kill Yang Yi, then there will be no such prosperous age."
After Fan Shihao finished speaking, he remained silent and looked at Xie Wule, waiting for his answer.
The scenery in front of him returned to the appearance of the palace. Xie Wule looked at Yang Yi walking towards him and saw that Xiao Zizai was not there, so he nodded lightly. Seeing this, Fan Shihao also smiled and nodded: "It's best if you can understand. You go ahead."
Xie Wule turned around and walked to the door of the palace. He looked back at the two people in the palace. Fan Shihao turned his back to him and was talking to Yang Yi. He suddenly waved his right arm and flew out the dagger in his hand, flying straight towards Yang Yi.
This time Xie Wule took action and mobilized his whole body's energy. The dagger was extremely fast. The dagger cut through the air and made bursts of breaking wind, which attracted Yang Yi's attention. When he looked at Xie Wule, he was already in front of him in an instant.
Xiao Zizai woke up and saw that Xie Wule and Fan Shihao were no longer around. He was anxious. His spiritual consciousness was emitted but he could not find Xie Wule's aura. Fan Shihao took the opportunity to catch him secretly. He glanced at Yang Yi on the dragon chair, his eyes were cold, Fan Shihao was not there. , killing him is like picking something out of a bag. Since you took away my disciple, then I will kill your disciple too! Just as he was about to take action, he turned around and came to Xiao Xiao, picked him up and left in a flash.
What's the use of killing him? If it were delayed and Xie Wule was killed, it would be more loss than gain. Since Fan Shihao did not kill him on the spot, it means that Xie Wule may still be alive, so the top priority now is to find Xie Wule, and maybe he can be rescued.
Um? Xie Wule's aura could not be found just now, but now it suddenly appeared again, and it was still in the palace! Xiao Zizai immediately turned around and appeared in front of the palace with a single movement.
I saw a broken dagger falling at Yang Yi's feet, while Xie Wule fell to the ground. Fan Shihao frowned slightly while holding the sword, looked away from Xie Wule's body, and raised his eyes to look at the person coming.
Xiao Zizai's pupils suddenly dilated, the hand holding Xiao Xiao couldn't help but tremble slightly, and the corners of his mouth were about to open.
