auspicious time has come

Facing Yan Ming's words, Xiao Mu did not respond for a while.

Yan Ming couldn't help but feel a little anxious: "Brother, the new emperor has been established, and Li Wei's use of the will of heaven to build momentum and seize power is getting better and better every day. Do you want to watch her or Li's other children helplessly?" Is it possible for a person to sit firmly on this throne?"

Sensing his thoughts, Xiao Mu turned his head slightly to look at him, and instead of answering his question directly, he reminded him: "A Jin, our enemy is Li Wei, not the rest of the Li family, let alone the people of the world. .”

"What's the difference between the rest of the Li family and Li Wei?" Yan Ming said: "Could it be that my brother has forgotten the faint king who is now dead in the Taiji Hall? Those members of the royal family who sit back and enjoy their success but raise their knives to slaughter heroes are bloody in their bones. With the same blood! When they framed innocent people, they still have to implicate the nine clans and kill them all! Those who pay back the blood debt should also cut the grass and root out the troubles forever, so it can be regarded as a little bit of justice, isn't it?"

"Brother doesn't rebel, he just wants to kill Li Wei alone, but in this way, isn't it just making wedding dresses for the rest of the Li family?" Yan Ming anxiously persuaded: "And when the time comes, whether it is the Li family or For those who want to seize the throne, once they are firmly seated on the throne, how can they tolerate elder brother?"

"Brother holds the military power in the north, and has a lot of prestige. They will definitely attack him!"

"Elder brother clearly has the strength to fight, why do you have to put yourself in such a passive position? Could it be that the doubts and suspicions that elder brother has endured over the years are not enough?"

"Or..." He looked at Xiao Mu, his eyes were red, his voice was a little soft, but with a hint of trembling: "Or, what happened back then, the lesson for brother is not enough? Lessons from the past are not enough, and it is not enough to repeat the same mistakes To make my brother fearful—”

"Ajin, it's Li Wei who is wrong." Xiao Mu said to him again, "And if you use the name of revenge to mutilate innocent people and disregard the common people in the world, you and I are also Li Wei. Since you hate her so much , then you can’t indulge yourself to become her, otherwise you will be lost forever.”

Yan Ming's expression was tense, and he asked in a concentrated voice: "Elder brother keeps thinking about the common people in the world... In my elder brother's heart, if the world is safe, and elder brother dies, is it all right?"

Xiao Mu didn't avoid his gaze. Although he didn't answer, he seemed to have the answer in his eyes.

"But I don't agree—" Yan Ming's eyes became redder by two points: "I don't want my brother to die again, I don't want to experience the pain of the death of a close relative again! I want my brother to be the lord of the world and occupy the highest position. There is no possibility of the past happening again!"

He looked closely at Xiao Mu, and lowered his voice a little: "I just don't want to let my brother have any more accidents... Could it be that in my brother's eyes, I am wrong for doing this?"

"Ah Jin, you and I grew up together. I know very well how you feel about me and at home, and I have never suspected that there are false intentions in this heart." Xiao Mu said: "But have you ever thought that you are like this now? appearance, still can't escape being used by Li Wei—"

"Leaving everything aside, if I rebel at this time, apart from the imperial court, all forces will also attack it. Li Wei doesn't even need to do anything, he can just sit back and watch the tigers fight and reap the benefits."

"Over the years, she has had a profound influence on you in silence. You have such a temperament at the moment, most of which are under her control. Under such a situation, you must not indulge in this demon and obsession anymore, otherwise it will lead to catastrophe .”

In the night, the young man's cold brows and eyes are sober and firm, as if no matter how deep the night is, it can't be eroded and blurred in the slightest.

But this lucidity caused Yan Ming's eyes to sting for no reason at this moment.

"Devil's obsession..." His voice was extremely low for a moment: "So, to elder brother, what happened in the past was actually an instant delusion, and I'm the only one trapped in it?"

Xiao Mu frowned slightly: "A Jin—"

"I found my elder brother this time, and I saw that he is still the same as before. I was extremely happy at first." Yan Ming paused and said: "But today is different from the past. Brother has gone through so much, and he still hasn't changed at all. He only knows one thing. Keeping loyalty and integrity, so stubborn, what's the difference between sitting and waiting for death?"

"No, I won't sit still." Xiao Mu looked at the person in front of him: "You have been drinking and depressed these days, I have not had time to explain my deployment plan to you in detail, if you can calm down, we can have a good talk Let’s talk about countermeasures.”

"Brother's deployment plan, in the final analysis, is just to defend the country for the Li family, right?" Yan Ming asked.

Xiao Mu looked at him, and said: "It's not for the Li family, what the Shi family has to guard, has always been the stability of the people in the world."

Hearing this, Yan Ming gave a complicated laugh, with both disappointment and a trace of uncontrollable grief in his eyes.

"I will avenge my family's old enmity. Li Weizhi's ambition and conspiracy, I will never let him succeed. I will definitely bring back the truth of the unjust cases in the past." Xiao Mu finally stated his position again, his tone was not serious, but it was like a rock There is no possibility of wavering: "But only, the lives of the common people should not and cannot be put behind."

Yan Ming stared at the young man for a moment, and finally laughed again.

He smiled and raised his sleeves, brushed in the direction of the lights of thousands of houses in the city, and said, "I really should let them all hear it with their own ears!"

"Under internal and external troubles, the one who wants to protect them is not the gods they worship, nor the Li family who worship for them, but an outsider who can't take care of himself and is regarded by the world as having a different heart-isn't this a joke? generally?"

Yan Ming laughed sadly, indignantly and satirically.

Xiao Mu's expression did not change.

"Since my brother has made up his mind, it is useless for me to say more." Yan Min's face gradually calmed down, and he said to the vast night: "I should have known that whether it is Xiao Mu or brother, I am a man with bloody hands and dirty body. People who are no longer on the same road.”

He raised his hand to Xiao Mu: "Since that's the case, Ah Jin will not disturb my brother's meditation on the way to save the world."

Seeing him turn and leave, Xiao Mu turned his head slightly, and said to the back, "Ah Jin—"

The figure paused, although he didn't look back, it still seemed to have a glimmer of hope.

"What you did in the past was caused by Li Wei, and I will not pursue all of it. And since I am your brother, the consequences of your mistakes, I should bear and make up for you—"

Yan Ming closed his eyes, feeling complicated in his heart.

And the voice went on to say: "This is the past, and there is no need to mention it again. But you need to understand that you have fully understood the truth now, and no one deceives and deceives you. Therefore, from today onwards, you should take responsibility for your own actions." responsible."

Yan Ming slowly opened his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "Thank you for your instruction, brother, Ah Jin took note."

He stepped down the wooden ladder and walked out of the pavilion step by step.

The night wind outside the pavilion is endless, and there seems to be nowhere to return.

Xiao Mu leaned on the railing and looked down at the figure slowly walking away.

Yan Min couldn't convince him, just as he couldn't convince Yan Min either.

Not long after, Wang Jingyong quickly walked up to the high pavilion, and saluted behind Xiao Mu: "General, there is a secret letter from the north."
