Changliujun explained: "I just want you to fall into the water, I will save you then."
"Fart!" Duan Ling said bluntly.
"I swear to Lord Baihu Xing." Lord Changliu raised three fingers and said, "If you lie to you, the heavens and the earth will perish. The minister said, don't hurt you by mistake."
"And then take me back to Jiangzhou?" Duan Ling asked.
He didn't know whether Changliu-Jun knew his identity, but he vaguely felt that as soon as Mu Kuangda knew that Li Yanqiu came to Hebei this time, he would not be able to get rid of it.
Changliu Jun replied: "Really not! The minister minister is just afraid that Zheng Yan knows that you have a relationship with Changpin in Shangzi, and even you will be implicated."
"Then why do you want to kill Wu Du?" Duan Ling said solemnly.
At that moment, Duan Ling had an unquestionable majesty. The countless experiences of life and death made Changliu-jun know that this was the moment that decided his life and death. The answer to this sentence directly affected Duan Ling's choice of him.
"I have no choice." Changliujun said, "Either you die, or the shepherd's family perishes. If you were in my position, I would do the same."
Lord Changliu raised his head to look at Wu Du, but Wu Du did not show joy or anger, but just took a sip of tea.
"I have no hatred and no grudges with Wu Du." Changliujun said again, "Killing people are all under orders. Sometimes I don't want to kill, but I have to do it."
Wu Du replied, "Lord Changliu, if the late emperor hadn't arrived that day, I'm afraid you and I wouldn't be sitting here today."
Lord Changliu suddenly remembered that on the day Zhao Kui died, he was also ordered to kill Wu Du. He killed him twice, but he failed.
"Baihutang has an unwritten rule." Wu Du said, "As the four major assassins, as long as they don't kill anyone, they have to admit defeat and don't pursue them, unless they have a deep blood feud."
Is that right? It was the first time Duan Ling had heard of it.
Changliujun didn't answer, Wu Du said again: "Now, we can finally talk about some things from that year."
He put down the teacup, looked at Lord Changliu, and said, "I have no interest in your life. If your answer is not accurate, someone will come to take your life, and I don't need to do it myself."
Duan Ling got up and said, "I'll retreat."
"It doesn't matter. Wu Du said.
Duan Ling thought that even if he didn't listen now, he would definitely ask Wu Du what they said. The avoidance was just to make Changliu-jun less embarrassed. In that case, he simply stopped listening to himself as an outsider.
"What is the task that Mrs. Gongsun gave you?" Wu Du asked in the first sentence.
"Expel the Hulu and protect the owner of Zhenshan River." Lord Changliu sighed and said, "That year, it was difficult to ascend to Zizi, the Central Plains was humiliated, and the Four Sects of White Tigers re-entered the WTO. Who is not for this?"
"Why did you go to Mu Kuangda?" Wu Du asked again.
"Why did you defect to Zhao Kui?" Lord Changliu asked him back.
"I'm asking you, not you." Wu Du said coldly.
"Choose people." Changliujun said, "Mrs. Gongsun chose Zhao Kui, I chose Mu Xiang, the ranger Zhao Zixuan chose Yao Fu, and Zheng Yan was accepted as a disciple. Only Wuluohou Mu followed the right person by mistake. "
Only then did Duan Ling know that there was actually an inside story here, and the image of Master Chang Liujun appeared in his mind, maybe she was also a beautiful woman who was veiled all day long.
"What do you mean by selecting people?" Duan Ling asked.
"Being together in troubled times." Changliu Jun replied, "Baihutang's legacy is to join the WTO, find the right person, and support him to rule the troubled times and become the new emperor."
Duan Ling is acutely aware of a certain problem - but aren't Baihutang and the Li family on an equal footing? Wu Du once said that Baihutang's mission is to protect the Li family, is he lying to himself
Duan Ling glanced at Wu Du, and Wu Du said solemnly, "Whoever controls the Zhenshan River must obey the orders. Over the years, it should be in the hands of the imperial court."
"But no one is willing to follow Zhenshanhe." Changliujun sighed and said, "Everyone wants that sword, that's the problem."
Lord Changliu didn't know Duan Ling's identity yet, so he explained in front of him: "I don't believe that your master and wife didn't say this. Chen Ji has been cheating for a long time, and because of a dispute during Emperor Xiao's years, Baihutang has already married him. The unsolvable hatred, when the Yulin Sword Sect and the Baihutang quarreled, Emperor Xiao sat idly by, and the Baihu Simen would naturally not support the Li family any more."
"But the late emperor killed that Yantuo," Wu Du said, "to clear up the old grievances."
"I don't like him." Changliujun said, "Who is not like this? Who is willing to follow him except Zheng Yan? Although Zheng Yan is willing to follow the Li family, Yao Fu is unwilling. Say Ulohum..."
Duan Ling probably understood. In these years, Baihutang has always lived in seclusion, and the Central Plains belonged to the Li family. Maybe there was a past incident that made the two sides never see each other. And just as the Liao Emperor went south, Baihutang sent assassins, each looking for someone worthy of assistance.
This candidate will become the new emperor who will end the troubled times.
He remembered that Zheng Yan had mentioned that Lang Junxia's master was a frontier general. He suddenly understood a little, why his father believed Lang Junxia. The three consecutive betrayals and challenges were not only a challenge to the enemy, but also a challenge to the authority of Zhenshanhe.
In the end, his father forcibly subdued Lang Junxia, making him unable to resist with coercion. It is normal to think of a father as a person and to believe that he will not betray again. Because Lang Junxia was reluctant, he finally chose the Li family, just as Wu Du chose Zhao Kui and Changliu Jun chose Mu Kuangda.
"Don't mention him." Wu Du said, "Unless Mu Kuangda is dead, you can't switch to another master."
Lord Changliu sighed heavily and said, "Master is already dead."
"My master is also dead." Wu Du replied, "The White Tiger Hall exists in name only. It has been passed down for hundreds of years. Now, there are only four desperadoes left. They live today and may die tomorrow. A hundred years later. , Are there us or not, who cares whether these four swords are kept in the temple or thrown into the barren mountains?"
Lord Changliu was shocked, and even Duan Ling couldn't help but be surprised that Wu Du would actually say such a thing.
Wu Du got up, stood tall, his hair was loose, his eyes were like bright stars in the deep night sky, he stared at Lord Changliu, and said, "But have you ever thought about what Mrs. Gongsun insisted on in her life?"
Changliu-jun couldn't stop shaking, and he was speechless for a while.
Duan Ling knew that from this day on, perhaps Wu Du had truly become the head of the White Tiger Hall, and even the always arrogant and arrogant Lord Changliu could no longer be hostile to him.
"Since you have inherited the White Rainbow Sword," Wu Du said, "you are a member of the White Tiger Hall. If you don't want to go on like this, hand over the sword and I will confiscate it for the sect and give you back your freedom. Abolish your martial arts and get rid of your name. , from now on, the sky is high and the sea is wide, so you can do it yourself.”
"Other than that, if you want to negotiate." Wu Du added, "but you can't, because this is what you should do, not a condition you use to exchange."
Changliu-jun watched his sword on the table.
There are four quaint Xiaozhuan characters on it: Baihong Guanri.
Zhuanzhu stabbed Wang Liao, the comet hit the moon; Nie Zheng stabbed Han Puppet, the white rainbow pierced the sun; Li stabbed Qingji, the goshawk struck the temple; Yu Rang stabbed Zhao Xiangzi, Qingfeng broke the snow; Hou Ying stole the tiger, Purple robe and gold belt.
Jing Ke stabbed Qin, and the light was brilliant.
The swords of the four major assassins have their own names, and they are the achievements of their predecessors.
Lang Junxia's Qingfeng sword was when Yu Rang stabbed Zhao Xiangzi, and he was ambushed under the bridge full of snow and wind, and he suddenly attacked.
Zheng Yan's Zidian Jinmang is the code of the purple robe and golden belt of Hou Ying, under the command of Lord Xinling. It is said that he killed more than 100 guards in the palace by himself to get the tiger talisman. His robes were still not stained with blood. In front of Ji, the suave appearance made the other party offer the tiger talisman.
As for Wu Du's fierce light, it was taken from the glare reflected from the dagger's blade in the eyes of Emperor Qiangu when the dagger appeared.
"I have no conditions." Changliujun said, "There is only one request, the only one."
He looked at Duan Ling almost pleadingly.
"You promised me." Lord Changliu said again, "No matter what you ask me to do, I can. You saved His Majesty's life, and you will definitely be able to speak in front of him."
"Speak." Duan Ling said.
"Forgive Muqing's life." Changliujun said, "After this incident, Muxiang will definitely be raided and exterminated. Let me take him away. It's impossible. Kill me and save his life."
Duan Ling: "..."
Duan Ling thought that Changliu-jun wanted to exonerate himself, but he did not expect that he was actually begging for Muqing.
"You two have a good time on weekdays." Changliujun added, "I know that you are not sincere in treating him. From the very beginning, you were not the one by the minister's side. At first I thought it was wrong, how could you be with Your Majesty? come this close?"
"The Prime Minister can give you no less than His Majesty, and even what His Majesty can't give, he can. Betraying the Minister Mu will not do you any good. Later I thought about it and realized that you may have been His Majesty in the beginning. It was sent, and it was hidden from everyone. Even Changpin and Mu Xiang didn't realize this. I don't know who you are, and you don't have to tell me... "
"...I know you don't take Muqing as a confidant." Changliu-jun added, "It's not even a friend, but he regards you as a brother. In Mufu, he listens to you the most, and likes to be with you the most. You are in the same place. Master, since there is such a child who believes in you so much, in the future you will beg for mercy before Your Majesty and spare his life."
"How can it be so simple?" Duan Ling knew that Changliu-Jun and Muqing were close, but he didn't expect to be so close that he could not even give up his own life, just to survive in exchange for such a young man.
"Let's tell you that." Duan Ling said seriously, "You can imagine the result yourself. Even if His Majesty spares his life and Muqing dies, Muqing is his only son, isn't it..."
Speaking of this, Duan Ling suddenly thought of a possibility, and was shocked, looking at Changliu-Jun in disbelief.
"Could he be..." Duan Ling was shocked.
Changliu-jun didn't answer, his eyes fell on the sword.
"When I came to Xichuan, I just turned fifteen years old." Changliujun said, "Besides the fate of the division, there is another reason for coming to Xichuan, to find someone."
