When Lord Yunyang fell down, he suddenly realized something.
Maybe he'd been thinking wrong all along. He thought that when Lide was twelve years old, no one came to pick him up, and he didn't suffer any retaliation when he used him as a sharpening stone, which meant that those men in black had given up on Lide. But maybe it wasn't like this, maybe in the past ten years, they have never been far away, they have always been behind him, watching all this coldly.
Whether it is windy or raining, whether it is night or day.
They have always been here. It's just that no one can perceive their existence, what a terrifying and daunting thing this is. That year they had warned themselves that these secrets must never be revealed, but the passage of time made Lord Yunyang gradually forget the fear that was deeply rooted in his bones. Now before he died, he recalled it again. Even if he went to hell in the future, he would probably spend his days in panic like years.
For the living, this incident is not a big deal or a small thing, but it is already worth He Yue's special trip from Yuxi City.
"Lord Yunyang is dead?"
Heyue asked the most core question straight to the point, Lide nodded calmly, and replied:
"Dead, although I didn't kill him. I asked Merlin to check if there was any curse magic on him, but there was nothing. Someone killed him in front of me, then left in front of me, and then It didn't cause any waves in Lingyun City."
He Yue frowned and said:
"Come and go freely, a master at the tenth level? The only one who can kill people invisible like this, I only remember Lingwu's Yinwei Grand Commander."
Li De didn't want to talk about specific things with He Yue, after all, Lord Yunyang's death was like a warning. Before he was absolutely sure, he didn't want to involve the people around him in this conspiracy. Fortunately, at present, no matter which faction the opponent is from, they have no hostility towards Li De himself and Yuxi City behind Li De for the time being, and they just don't want the secret to be exposed after erasing Lord Yunyang.
Liede only replied vaguely:
"It's not the Commander of the Yinwei. Although the Commander of the Yinwei is good at assassination, he rarely uses poison. And with the character of the Lord of Lingwu, if she sees that the Lord of Yunyang is upset, she will call here. There is no need to wait for Yunyang If the lord lost, he would secretly send someone to kill him. It may be that the lord Yunyang was hiding some secrets, and someone didn't want him to reveal it, so he killed him, and it has nothing to do with us."
He Yue knew what secret Lide should be hiding, but she would not ask, and changed the subject calmly:
"Well. I don't really care how Lord Yunyang died, as long as you are fine. The problem is, how do we announce this to the outside world. A Lord's death cannot be concealed. People who care about his life and death are not In the minority."
Lide let out a breath, walked to the window with his hands behind his back, looked back at He Yue, and replied calmly:
"Just say it to the outside world, I killed it."
He Yue's hand trembled suddenly, and said:
"But the name of patricide—"
Lied smiled and said:
"I said that he was killed because he couldn't think about it, or that he was stabbed to death for doing too many bad things in the past, and others would believe it? At that time, all kinds of stigma will be placed on my head. Even if we After taking down Yunyang, I hope that there will be many people who died, and even increase instead of decrease. The dog king is one of them. It doesn’t matter what I say at this time. The lord of Yunyang died, and I was there. People only need these two things, and they can say everything as if it is hard evidence. The public also likes this kind of conspiracy theory, you and I should know better than anyone else.”
He Yue sighed and said:
"That's better than admitting to yourself... So, there must be a reason to kill him, what crime are we going to convict him?"
Lid thought for a while and replied:
"War crime."
After a pause, Lid raised his arm and glanced at the scar on his hand. It was left when he cut his wrist and let the blood splatter on the monument. Li De did not use good herbal medicine to apply it, but chose to keep this scar forever:
"Heyue, in my opinion, many sins in this world can be forgiven, but there are also many that cannot be forgiven. When Zhaochen called, Lord Yunyang severed the father-son relationship with me. In my opinion, It can be forgiven. When the demons came, Lord Yunyang allowed Li Yi to cooperate with the demons to attack Yuxi City. In my opinion, this is unforgivable, do you understand?"
Heyue walked to Lide's side, gently held Lide's wrist, and whispered:
"Of course I understand, but people in the world will still think you are a cold-blooded villain, a murderer of patricides, and a freak who treats morality as nothing. At that time, the enemies of you will be all the rotten things in this world. According to the rules, Yuxi City will have countless potential enemies out of thin air."
Lied looked into his eyes and replied:
"Heyue, do you know what we are most lacking now? It's not just talents. After taking Yunyang, what we need is a new set of rules and let everyone understand the consequences of not following the rules. Before we Let’s discuss it, some people in our team are already ready to have fun, use power for personal gain, and use past achievements to get more things. Then just use this incident to tell them that in our place, rules are more important than human feelings.”
He Yue still didn't let go of Li De's hand, she was lost in thought.
As Li De said, Lord Yunyang died in the Lord's Mansion, and Li De can't clear up his suspicion about this matter. No matter who came out to testify, it was useless, even if Li Yi, who had been at odds with Li De, came out to speak for him in person, others would only understand it as the result of coercion and temptation.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to take the initiative to create an image of having to kill relatives righteously for the sake of rules. Some people may accuse Lide Gong of revenge, but it is much better than doing nothing. As long as Yuxi City can implement the new rules in the future and make the people rich and healthy, then today's charges will naturally be cleared up slowly.
For the superiors in troubled times, ability and courage are the most important. A monster who can do things is better than a waste of extravagance and lust.
Thinking of this, He Yue finally let go of Lide's wrist:
"Understood, I will contact Anbu and try my best to guide the public opinion in the direction we want. However, the name of patricide cannot be washed away no matter what. Originally, taking Yunyang was a good time to rectify your name. I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen again... I don't know what to say. Lide, you are now a real lord, don't you really care about your reputation?"
Lide scratched the itch on his back, yawned, and replied calmly:
"Lord... It doesn't matter what the lord is."
