Many years before the rise of the Bashan Sword Field, Changling had many old powerful families.
Some of these old dignitaries are relatives of the emperor, and their influence in the court is intricate and deep-rooted, while some are extremely powerful ministers who control the lifeline of the dynasty. Not only in Changling, some counties of the Great Qin Dynasty were once under the control of these old powerful families.
For a long period of time, the actual controllers of the entire Great Qin Dynasty were not the emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty, but these old powerful families.
These old dignitaries are keen to cultivate their own power. Their secret partners even have enemy countries. They care about their own interests more than the interests of the entire dynasty. In their view, it is not the land that the royal family entrusted to them, but their land and power became the entire dynasty.
Because of being pampered and superior for a long time, and even used to disobeying the law and using some dark means, ordinary people are just crops in the field to them. Worried about the suffering of the people.
The rise of Bashan Sword Field is due to a group of powerful sword masters headed by Wang Jingmeng, and when Wang Jingmeng and these sword masters entered Changling to promote reforms, they first targeted these old powerful families.
Therefore, the first battle of the Great Qin Dynasty was not a battle against Han, Zhao and Wei, but a battle with these old powerful families.
Only the practitioners of the Bashan Sword Field who have experienced those years know how many cruel battles have taken place and what price they have paid.
Every old powerful family is like a dynasty.
The family of the black-shirted man standing on the mountain was once one of the real rulers of Changling.
When Wang Jingmeng walked into Changling for the first time, this black-clothed man had already become famous, and his power had already shrouded Changling City like black moonlight.
Many years later, when Ding Ning heard the name of the black-shirted man again, it was he who shot and killed Wen Houling, a confidant next to Zheng Xiu. Limited to the power of the family, even the advancement of his cultivation was beyond his expectation.
It's just that Ding Ning didn't understand, how could such a person stand by Zheng Xiu's side
Those cold names back then were all given by Zheng Xiu and Yuan Wu. The leader of this old powerful family had secretly fought with Zheng Xiu for many years. Ding Ning never thought that he was Zheng Xiu's man.
So he never guessed that Zheng Xiu's hidden chess is here.
"Why?"
The eldest grandson Qianxue looked up at the man in black and asked coldly.
At this time, including the practitioner in the moon-white gown, there are only two more masters here, but she is very clear that the arrival of this man in black means the arrival of terrible forces, and it is already too late to escape easily. impossible things.
"Why?"
The man in black looked at her quietly, repeated the three words she asked, and then brushed his hair.
In his jet-black long hair, there are many white hairs that are usually invisible.
"There are many reasons for this kind of problem. For example, if the people in the Bashan Sword Field were not too strong, no matter how ruthless Zheng Xiu was, he would not be able to make that step. For example, if Wang Jingmeng is too strong, such people are like gods. , compared to him, no matter how strong we are, it seems that we are just food in the mouth of the gods. Such a person should not exist in the world. He died, but he left a successor. And it seems that the sword has the same With the same talent, I don't want to see another god born."
"But why exactly?"
The man in black also raised his head, looked at the snowstorm in the sky ahead, and there was an expression of undisguised sadness in his eyes, "You ask me why, and why are you? Are you doing it for your Gongsun family? Isn't it just because you want to avenge Wang Jingmeng?"
Changsun Qianxue frowned involuntarily. She couldn't fully understand the other party's meaning, but she could clearly feel the sadness emanating from his heart.
The man in black didn't look at her, and continued to talk quietly, "Between you and Zheng Xiu, Wang Jingmeng chose Zheng Xiu instead of you, but even so, you have to avenge him, let alone love each other sincerely." Is there any reason for me not to avenge her?"
Ding Ning and Changsun Qianxue were startled, and couldn't help but look at each other.
The man in black continued to say sadly: "Whether it is the Gongsun family or my Xiao family, although Zheng Xiu and Yuan Wu ordered the direct extermination of the family with cruel means, but before that, when the merchants began to reform, there was a Zhou family But he was convicted for obstructing the reform. Several principals of the Zhou family were beheaded, their property was confiscated, and the family members were dispatched to Zhushan County. A young lady of the Zhou family was full of sorrow and anger, and fell ill on the way. At that time, I She was still cultivating in Youshan, and when I found out that I rushed to pick her up, she had already died of illness."
The eldest grandson Qianxue's face was slightly pale, and she finally heard the story clearly.
"There is this mountain in my home. I planted a lot of roses in the mountain with my own hands, all of which are her favorite colors. I will marry her when the flowers bloom next year and live with her in the other courtyard in the mountain. But her favorite flower in the mountain It has not yet bloomed, but she is no longer there."
The black-clothed man turned his head slowly, looked in Changling's direction with intense disgust, and continued, "When I lost her, I think you can understand the heart-wrenching pain. I have no meaning anymore. In the final analysis, the family members are intriguing, and there are not many good people, so she will die. But she is kind and innocent. If it wasn't for the Bashan sword field, if it wasn't for Wang Jingmeng's suppression with a sword and the promotion of business reforms, How did she die in exile? How miserable and helpless was she when I was not by her side when she died?"
"So if there are still enemies that must be killed, it should be the Bashan Sword Field first."
The man in the black shirt said slowly, "I follow my heart's desire, it has nothing to do with anything else. After so many years, who will remember many past events back then, even I was only called Ye Xiao, who would remember her People. But I remember."
Ding Ning had been silent for a long time, and when the black-clothed man finally finished speaking, he took a deep breath, and then said: "It's hard to explain things like grievances, and you have to follow the most intense emotions in your heart. "
The man in black shirt nodded.
He looked down at Ding Ning. At this moment, the sadness in his pupils subsided, and all that shone in them were wisdom, strength and confidence.
At this time, he is no longer a sentimental ordinary person recalling the past, but a night owl who controls many old powerful forces, the emperor in the dark.
The way he looked at Ding Ning was no different from the eyes of an emperor in the world.
"I appreciate you."
He sincerely said in a soft voice: "If I hadn't spent more than ten years acting in so many plays, Bashan Sword Field had a little trust in me, and thus learned some news about the young lady of the Gongsun family, otherwise even I would still not be able to do it." Find out where Nine Dead Silkworm is, and it is impossible to deduce that you will appear here with her."
…
The wind and snow are thicker.
The fluctuation of killing intent made Changsun Qianxue unable to control the fluctuation of the power of the Nine Nether Hades Sword. Every vibration of vitality made the chill in the sky more intense, and the falling snowflakes became bigger and bigger.
The gray-black wind and snow, and the pale lantern flames seem to be dyeing the whole world into black and white.
Monk Dong Hu, who had always been more silent than Ding Ning, also moved slightly, reaching out to stroke the snow on top of his own head.
Talking too much is boring.
Especially for a practitioner like him, having said so much, it still depends on who can kill Ding Ning.
So he looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Which of you can kill him?"
The appearance of people like Ye Xiao means that more masters have quietly arrived and surrounded this world.
But what he said was natural.
With him here, who can kill Ding Ning
He is qualified to say such words.
However, when he said such words, Sima Cuo's face showed some strange expressions.
Then he said softly and earnestly: "It's not only Zhao Yaofei who can drive her own concubine."
