On the banks of the Weishui River, under the willow trees, a man in green robes stood facing the river with his hands behind his back, and the breeze blew his hair and feet.
Song Jiao walked over step by step, and stopped a few steps away from him. She didn't look at him, but also faced the river.
Xingyue was silent, Song Jiao was silent for a long time, and then said slowly: "You shouldn't have come."
The green-robed man replied, "I'm already here."
Song Jiao sighed softly: "The East China Sea is so big, can't it accommodate you?"
The green-robed man chuckled and said, "The world is so big, is there a pure land?"
Song Jiao was a little annoyed: "You are sophistry!"
The green-robed man fell silent, and after a while, his voice seemed a little heavy: "After the Battle of Bagong Mountain, I did plan to live in seclusion in the East China Sea, and I made up my mind at that time that no matter what happens in the Tang Dynasty, I will not Come back."
Song Jiao turned her head to look at the green-robed man. The face in front of her was strange even to her. It was a disfigured and reconstructed face. Of course, it didn't match the one in her memory. She asked, "Since you have seen through Worldly affairs, honor and disgrace don't matter to you, why did you come back? You said at the time that life is like a dream, riches and honors, honor and disgrace, each has its own destiny. Since you don't even care about Li Ye's fate, why did you come back? Having established the foundation and stepped into the Realm Realm, where can’t you be at ease, and why do you insist on coming back?!”
After talking, Song Jiao looked agitated and lost control of her emotions.
She stared at the strange face in front of her: "Do you know that although the world of Tang Dynasty is big, there is no place for you to stay. If you come back, it means death! Even if your cultivation base has reached the real world, but Can you stand against the Emperor?!"
Song Jiao let out a miserly laugh, with infinite sorrow: "You are already dead... the world thinks you are dead... If you are dead, why come back to life? Do you want to die again? !"
The green-robed man didn't speak, maybe he didn't know how to speak.
After Song Jiao finished speaking, she seemed to have poured out all the strength in her body, and she also fell silent.
After a long time, the green-robed man said: "When I went out to sea that day, I made an appointment with Master and you. The disciples of Bailu Cave will never enter the secular world... Why do you want to come to him?"
Song Jiao sneered: "You have a high realm, you can see through life, comprehend the Dao, and you can cast off the shackles of the world, but I can't do it. At least, when Sanqingguan met him, I couldn't just watch him die in front of me !"
"So you stayed by his side to help him in the name of revenge? That's right, it's indeed your nature." The green-robed man glanced at Song Jiao.
"What are you talking about! Why did you come back from the East China Sea and appear here? Could it be that in your heart, I can't even protect him, and you still need to intervene?" Song Jiao asked.
The man in green robe looked at the river again, this time in silence for a longer time.
He said: "After the Battle of Bagong Mountain, I was disheartened, and I no longer had illusions about the Great Tang Sheji. But when I was in the East China Sea, I watched the stars at night and found some abnormalities... Forget it, not to mention the astrology, when I was shopping for food along the coast of the East China Sea, I heard that he stepped into Qi training, succeeded the king, and became the Shao Yin of the Chang'an Mansion."
Song Jiao sneered and said: "He stepped into the vortex of power struggle when he succeeded the prince, and he will never forget about Bagong Mountain when he goes down to Wei Baoheng and up to the emperor, so he is doomed if he takes this step. , you have to be enemies of many people, suffer from many people's calculations, and your life is at stake. But this is his business, what does it have to do with you, haven't you been careless for a long time?"
The green-robed man said: "If he hadn't inherited the title of the king, and hadn't become an official, I wouldn't have..."
"Don't say these things are useless!" Song Jiao interrupted him, "I don't believe a word! After the Battle of Bagong Mountain, although your people survived by luck, your heart is already dead. Don't say you I will still take care of these worldly feelings!"
The green-robed man fell silent again, he looked up at the night sky, and suddenly spit out a big mouthful of blood.
Song Jiao was startled: "You..."
The green-robed man waved his hand, signaling that he was fine, but Song Jiao's face darkened: "Since your cultivation has already established a foundation, how could you fall to such a level against Wei Jiangnan?"
The green-robed man wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth, and smiled: "After the Battle of Bagong Mountain, thanks to Master who saved me with his life, although I survived by luck, my foundation was damaged. The wound is still irreparable."
Song Jiao's face turned pale: "Doesn't that mean that every time you use your cultivation, you are hurting yourself, hurting yourself and then hurting others?"
The green-robed man said indifferently: "It's okay, I can't die for the time being."
Song Jiao moved her lips, she couldn't bear to criticize him any more.
After a while, Song Jiao asked: "Do you... want to see him?"
"No need." The green-robed man waved his hand, "There are more important things than seeing him."
"What is it?"
"Take down Wei Baoheng, eliminate the eunuchs and four nobles, and help establish a new king!"
...
Its daybreak.
Seeing Song Jiao walking from the riverside, Li Ye looked a little pale, so he asked with concern, "What kind of old man made you look so ugly after meeting him?"

Song Jiao glanced at Li Ye, with complicated thoughts and unspeakable feelings, but she just shook her head and couldn't say anything.
Seeing that she didn't want to say more, Li Ye didn't intend to ask further.
Liu Zhiyan thought about it in the middle of the night, and decided to change her family to join Li Ye, and turned to testify that the looting of the dock warehouse was instigated by Wei Baoheng's people. In fact, as she said, people can't help themselves in the world, and she has no choice at all now.
Li Ye took the officials of Chang'an Mansion, escorted the Changhe gang, Chen Jianghe's body and his subordinates, and returned to the village where they were staying. He was about to take a rest, and hurried back to Chang'an. Since Wei Baoheng is the chief envoy in this matter, I'm afraid he has already got the news of the failure, whether Li Ye can successfully return to Chang'an City is still a matter of debate.
While in the cottage, Li Ye sent a message to Wang Duo and Lu Yan, asking them to send people to help, especially the need for expert protection of the witnesses, as long as Liu Zhiyan and others can arrive at the Chang'an government office, Wei Baoheng's situation will change. How, needless to say.
Now Li Ye doesn't have much power at his disposal. In the entire Tsingyi Yamen, only Song Jiao is a high-level combat power. If Wei Baoheng is well-informed this time and sends people outside Chang'an City to respond, then it is very likely that Wang Duo and Lu Before Yan's men arrived, they stopped Li Ye.
They may not dare to attack and kill Li Ye, but they definitely dare to attack the murder certificate.
At this time, in the hut on the hill, the stove had been extinguished, and Liu Da was sitting on the threshold smoking a dry cigarette, his face tense. The boy got up early and went out. He was a little surprised to see that Liu Dazheng did not turn on the stove abnormally, but seeing that the Taoist was there, the boy didn't ask any more questions, and went to prepare breakfast by himself.
The Taoist stood in the courtyard with a gloomy expression. Obviously, he lost the battle with Nangong No. 1 last night. But he was not taken away by Nangong No.1, which is a good ending. It's just that the Taoist couldn't accept this ending.
"What did you say? Are you going to find King An and Li Ye?" The Taoist stared at Liu Dazheng with an angry expression on his face, "The matter of Qinglian has not been investigated yet, that guy is probably a sinner of my Taoist sect! Now, you want to To join the enemy?"
Liu Dazheng swallowed the clouds and breathed out the fog, and his face appeared a little blurry behind the smoke: "I, Liu Dazheng, went down the mountain after reaching the crown, and I have been following the old King An all the time. I also fought in the north and south, made some meritorious deeds, and later became the old King An The personal guards, even Song Jiao, didn't dare to blow their noses and stare in front of me. At that time, I, Liu Dazheng, told myself that following King An is my lifelong pursuit."
"During the Battle of Bagong Mountain, I was supposed to follow Lao An Wang, but it was because of the temporary mission assigned by the teacher that I left Lao An Wang... Lao An Wang died in Bagong Mountain, and I Liu Dazheng cannot escape the blame! If I had been by Lao An's side that day, even if I could only block a sword for Lao An, with Lao An's cultivation base, how could I not be able to escape?!"
At the end, Liu Dazheng was already stern.
The Taoist snorted coldly and said: "Just because of this, you have hated the master for so many years, and even disregarded Master's dissuasion, and insisted on coming here to live in seclusion... But what is wrong with the master in this matter? What's wrong?"
Liu Dazheng glanced at the Taoist: "Old King An's cultivation is extremely high, even if he is besieged, he can still go if he can't win, how could he die directly? Do you really think that I don't know what the master has been planning these years? He didn't follow the orders of the court. He is good at spreading immortality to the people, wantonly expanding his disciples, making friends with the reckless people in the rivers and lakes, and this time he is cultivating Qinglian, trying to find so-called heroes to bring disaster to the world of Tang Dynasty. Different?! I, Liu Dazheng, spent half my life following Old An Wang, sweating blood and sweat for the Tang Dynasty, loyal to the liver and courage, how can I be with you!"
"Liu Dazheng! You can't be crazy!" The Taoist was furious, "All the monks in the world learn my Taoist techniques, and they are all my Taoist disciples. This world does not belong to the imperial court, but to my Taoist sect! The imperial court is corrupt, and the Taoist sect is for the common people. Less suffering from the faint government, this is seeking to overthrow the imperial court and create a new order! This is not a rebellion, it is doing justice for the heavens!"
"These words, you go back and tell the master, it's useless to tell me." Liu Dazheng finished smoking, knocked on the bong, and stood up, "I owe the master, the matter of yesterday has been paid off, From now on, the two have nothing to do with each other. I don't want to pursue the death of Old An Wang, whether or not Shimen contributed, and how much, but from now on, you and I have nothing to do with each other!"
After finishing speaking, Liu Dazheng greeted the boy: "Pack up your things and go out!"
The Taoist was furious. He drew out his long sword and pointed at Liu Dazheng: "You want to go to Li Ye? You want to be a lackey of the imperial court? To join my enemy in Zhongnan Mountain? Then you have to ask about the sword in my hand, agree. No promise!"
Liu Dazheng sneered.
After a while, Liu Dazheng took the boy out and went down the mountain.
After all, the yard and cottage were destroyed and turned into ruins.
In the ruins, the Taoist looked at the sword stuck on the ground, his face was pale and his mind was not in the right place.
Stepping onto the mountain road, Liu Dazheng looked back at the place where the green-robed man stopped last night.
He said silently in his heart: "In the entire Tang Dynasty, the only one who can naturally reach the level of a real person is Old An Wang..."
Following King Xin'an, will there be a chance to see Old King An again
That old King An that everyone thought was dead
At this moment, Liu Dazheng had tears in his eyes.
