The middle-aged woman laughed.
"That joke is not funny."
She looked at the coachman with a smile and said.
The scar on her face is a sword wound, which looks very shallow, but because of the tearing of the sword energy and the splashing of energy, it has torn off a lot of skin, and even cut off the possibility of a lot of flesh and skin growing together again.
In addition, for some reason, besides this sword wound, there were many intertwined shallow scars, which looked as if someone had repeatedly scratched her face with a sharp knife.
It is not funny for her to say this now, but she is smiling, and when she laughs, the many scars on her face are involved together, like a particularly vicious flower, blooming with countless negative emotions, so give People's feelings are extraordinarily violent and ferocious.
A real unruly force has fallen on the driver on the front of the car. This former envoy in yellow robes from Jiaodong County, who followed Zheng Xiu from Jiaodong County to Changling, knows that he will be torn into countless pieces by this force at any time. The flesh and blood fragments, but his smile is very calm, with a gloomy winter sun.
"That's a really bad joke."
He looked directly at the middle-aged woman, and said slowly and earnestly: "But the fact is true. Although you and Zheng Xiu are like sisters, but that person deliberately came to cut your face, it was because of her." play off."
The middle-aged woman's smile disappeared.
She looked at the man with a condescending gaze, as if looking at an ant indifferently.
All the creatures around this road seemed to have fled in fear, and it was extremely silent.
Pan Ruoye's face became paler and paler.
She looked at the shocking scar on her master's face, thinking if what the man said was true, what would the master do
The middle-aged woman seemed to have spent some time to recall many things clearly, and then said indifferently: "When he came to me for a sword competition, he and Zheng Xiu hadn't met yet."
"What you said is the truth."
The man on the front of the car nodded, and then said: "Even you have never met, but you are already a threat to her. You are after the royal family of the Chen Kingdom. Although the Chen Kingdom no longer exists, your The status includes the power behind it, no less than the daughter of the old powerful family in Changling, the most important thing is that none of the daughters of the old powerful family in Changling had the talent and beauty of swordsmanship like you at that time."
A strange gleam flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged woman, like the brilliance brought to her by some kind of memory. At the same time, she said strangely: "But I have a very bad temper."
"For some people, having a bad temper can be regarded as jealousy and straightforwardness." The man on the front of the car said: "Especially for those geniuses who are inherently uninhibited, this may become an attraction instead."
After a pause, he continued: "Geniuses are often not ordinary people, and they will have many differences."
Countless dust rose up on the ground.
The middle-aged woman suddenly sneered violently, and her robe rattled, "So you mean, when Zheng Xiu just arrived at Changling, or before she arrived at Changling, and before she met me? , she already thinks that I might be her opponent?"
The man on the front of the car said respectfully and seriously: "That's true."
Then, before the middle-aged woman continued to speak, he added another sentence, "You don't know her growth experience in Jiaodong County, so you can't understand."
The eyes of the middle-aged woman narrowed slightly, and she just asked directly: "Why did you betray her? In Changling, even if you are her servant, your actual status is probably no less than that of those ministers. head."
"So you have such doubts because you don't know Jiaodong County, her growth experience and her family."
The man on the front of the car took a deep breath and said slowly: "If you don't understand this, I can't explain it clearly."
"You'd better speak quickly." The middle-aged woman said indifferently: "I don't have much patience."
"Jiaodong County is also an old family. However, the king of the outside world has never been able to join Changling. Although he is powerful, he has been excluded. In the eyes of the old dignitaries in Changling, he is probably just a countryman. Jiaodong County is also very clear about this. "
The man on the front of the car nodded and said: "Strength and status are not directly proportional, and deformed ambitions will naturally arise... Jiaodong County's idea is not only to be able to rank among the powerful in Changling, but to completely overwhelm those who once looked down on Jiaodong County and the Laughing at the old dignitaries in Jiaodong County. Just like the rise of Bashan Sword Field depends on a few people who defy the sky, the rise of Jiaodong County needs people like Zheng Xiu after all."
"The generation in Jiaodong County is very lucky. You only know that the Zheng family has such an extremely talented cultivation genius as her, but you don't know that there is actually not one."
"Her generation, including those born in the concubine, has a total of four highly gifted cultivation geniuses."
"Jiaodong County spent fifteen years, and what it finally did was raise a Zheng Xiu just like raising Gu."
"Now people in Changling, including the whole world, say she is cruel, but if you know how she left Jiaodong County alive, you will naturally understand that if she can't be so ruthless... then she is not the one who left Jiaodong County to come to Changling .”
…
The middle-aged woman frowned slightly.
Pan Ruoye's breathing couldn't help but she couldn't help looking at the man on the front of the car, and said, "You mean, she actually has several brothers and sisters who are equally talented, but her family forces them to kill each other Practicing to force them to practice, the rest of them all died in the end, only she was left alive?"
"Some died directly by her hands, and some didn't die directly by her hands, but they were almost the same."
The man on the front of the car looked at her and nodded, and then said: "When the elders in her family used various extreme methods to select a person who could enter Changling, they also taught them how to choose their subordinates and how to control them. loyalty."
"Control the loyalty of subordinates?" Pan Ruoye couldn't help repeating this sentence, she felt that this sentence was very awkward.
The man on the front of the car said: "Because in her opinion, there is nothing that can be trusted and unchanged between her subordinates and her, so even loyalty is also control in her opinion. For her, family is the most important thing." One of the means of control. So in order to get a subordinate who is capable and loyal enough to her, what she did was to kill my original family, and then managed to give me a new family."
Pan Ruoye's breath stopped, and suddenly thought of a certain possibility, she was speechless for a while.
The man on the front of the car continued slowly, "When I wasn't even a practitioner, I was just an ordinary scholar. Then when I was traveling with my family, I encountered bandits. My whole family was killed, and only I was rescued by her family. After a few years, I woke up from the nightmare, and I had a beloved woman and a new family. It’s just that she didn’t expect that when I arrived in Changling many years later, because of a small incident, I let the I finally found out that the rogues who killed my family back then, including my new family, were all just her arrangement. My new family was just her arrangement."
Speaking of this, the man in the front of the car smiled bleakly, looked at Pan Ruoye, and said in a low voice, "You may not believe it, but she was looking for a subordinate like me in order to complete the studies assigned by her family. She was seven years old when she killed my family...just a seven-year-old, and she was able to do things like this."
