sword sentient beings

"That is to say... you two have been in Kongliang Mountain for several years, but you have not made any achievements, and at the end of the day, you are completely defeated, and you have lost the lives of many of your own people?"

In the mist, a stern-looking woman looked at the two people in front of her.

No, it should be said that it is one person and one "ghost".

The person was a beautiful middle-aged woman, sitting on a platform made of water, with her long hairpin hanging down on her chest. Her expression was sad and angry, frustrated and confused, and she had a mixture of emotions.If any acquaintance saw her at this time, they would be very surprised - they never thought that Princess An, the top swordsman of the Wei Dynasty in Shangzhu Kingdom in the northwest of the Wei Dynasty, would be so at a loss.

On the contrary, the "ghost" behind her, the spirit that existed independently after the death of King An, was exactly the same as King An during his lifetime. Instead of being depressed, he held his head high and said loudly: "Hong Zhuguo, you are wrong. Although this time We were suddenly attacked, but not many people were lost. The first step I have made in Dark Star Manor for many years is to ensure that we can advance and retreat freely. I have already arranged the retreat formation, which can be activated in an instant and move everyone. In that moment just now , I sensed the danger and instantly activated the teleportation. Except for a few who didn't react, most of our people were safely transferred. The only ones who really died were the few monsters that made a surprise attack but were controlled by me."

"So, the losses are just some houses and resource reserves. In fact, we also brought out the precious resources, and the rest are not worth mentioning. All in all, although there are losses, it is a victory."

The stern woman was Hong Mengting of the Shangzhu Kingdom of the turtle bandits in the west. Hearing the word "victory", she couldn't help but sneer and said: "Everyone else is fine, but you are dead, Your Highness."

The princess was furious and stared at the Northwest Zhuguo, but King An raised his head and said: "I am not dead. Rather than saying that my body is dead, it should be said that I am truly alive now. I am not bound by the body, but my spiritual state is The real me. This is the path we spiritual officials should take. I have never felt better than I am now."

Hong Mengting didn't understand Lingguan's thoughts. He only thought that this was King An's way of honoring him, and he didn't expose it. He said: "It's good that Your Highness has this ambition. But isn't the accumulation we have accumulated over the years in Zongliang Mountain worth it?" Did you mention it? Victory is victory, and it’s not good to become more miserable as you win, right?”

The princess finally couldn't help but shouted: "Hong Mengting, what are you doing here chattering and being aggressive? Now that something has happened, it is natural to put the plan to revitalize the two mountains of Shahuijiang first. After four years of planning, how can we fail once we close the net? Are you accusing us just for the sake of your mouth? Even if you say it in one breath, what benefit will it have to our grand plan?"

Hong Mengting smiled coldly and said: "Oh, now I am the one who is delaying the plan? Well, who told me to take care of the overall situation? Originally, I was going to mobilize the troops according to His Highness's order, but now we are united, but It’s also similar to the plan. Then let’s take revenge on those who harmed His Highness first. Do you know who dares to attack me, the Great Wei?”

King An snorted, and Princess An said: "They are a group of monsters, and they claim that their family is the envoy of Yuan. They are the envoys of the Gangliang Mountain, and the powerful force they summoned in the end should be the power of the Gangliang, so they can destroy the manor with one blow. .”

Hong Mengting frowned and said: "What's going on? Haven't you two established a good relationship with Yuanshi in the past few years? Isn't it part of the plan to make good friends with local forces? Didn't you spend a lot of money on this? Why? Why are you shouting and killing at the end of the day? I haven’t heard that Yuan envoys frequently go out to destroy people’s manor?"

Even Princess An was silent this time.

Hong Mengting felt slightly strange, his eyes moved back and forth between Prince An and Princess An, and suddenly he said: "Isn't it just for longevity?"

King An snorted.

It is true that he participated in the longevity society on his own initiative. It was named to be filial to his older mother, but in fact it was not without his own little thoughts.In fact, it didn’t cost much inside or outside. If this kind of thing doesn’t happen, everyone will just turn a blind eye. But if something happens, it will be trouble.

But in the past two days, not only had something happened, but also one after another. Not only had the Changshou Society been wiped out, but his home nest had also been inexplicably destroyed.These Abyssal Envoys are really inexplicable. Aren't they just being plotted by the Changshou Society?What does it have to do with him? Do you need to chase him home?And use that power to destroy the world?
This time the matter is over, as long as the original goal can be achieved and two swords are collected. If there is a mistake, even one sword is missing, then the matter of the longevity society will be a ready-made crime, and their mother and son are afraid that they will not be able to bear the consequences. Walk.

At this time, we can see the advantage of Man Ying specifically instructing the Yuanshi to shout "We are the Yuanshi, and you are the remnants of the Longevity Society". The other side of the province will be suspicious of unrelated people, and the scapegoats and black hands will make porcelain for you. It’s true, so many people have heard it, even if they want to deny it.

So at this time, King An could only be speechless.

Hong Mengting had always looked down upon the mother and son, and also felt that King An was ineffective because he had abandoned his official duties for personal reasons. She secretly hoped that he would be very unlucky after this time, but that was not enough to give up on the crucial battle that the turtle bandits had been planning for many years. , in that case, no one will be able to get better, and he immediately said: "Okay. If Yuanshi really did it, and he used the power of Wang Liang, then it would be simple. I don't think there is any need to seek revenge from Yuanshi."

"We just have to prepare with all our strength. On the day of the sacrifice, if we can control the 罔 liang, what are a few Yuan Envoys? If we can't control the 罔 liang, there will be no need to mention the Yuan Envoys. So the most important thing now is to stabilize our position. , gather the troops and fight back to the Gangliang Mountains."

Princess An nodded. Except when it came to her son, she was very rational at other times. Her judgment was similar to that of Hong Mengting: time was so tight and they had just lost the most important position. At this time, it was true to prepare a big plan to make up for the loss. The rest Let’s talk about the personal grudges later.

As for King An, although he was a little unconvinced, with his mother on top and Zhu Guo on the side, he was in the wrong and couldn't think of revenge.

Hong Mengting continued: "However, now that the Dark Star Manor has been severely damaged, it may still be ignored. Where will we put so many people coming and going? Without a frontline base camp, how can we all start from my place? Expeditions with labor are not a joke. Son."

Princess An said slowly: "That's okay. Our manor on the mountain has been lost, but the property below the mountain has not been lost. There are still a group of people guarding that Yulang City, and there are many capable subordinates. We can provide support now. Besides, There is another thing. Recently, the sword slaves in Zongliang Mountain are rebelling. There is chaos everywhere, and many manor owners have died. Some manors have ceased to exist in name only. We have a lot of room for doves to occupy magpie's nests..."

"No need!"

At this time, King An suddenly interjected, and his tone became high-spirited again: "I have already prepared a backup base, with all the materials in it, and a portal for transporting troops. The place is now pretending to be a ruin, and no one is paying attention. , can be activated at any time." Hong Mengting was surprised. She didn't expect that this overbearing King An had such a safe side and actually understood the principle of the cunning rabbit's three holes.

Princess An was the most surprised—because she didn’t know about this reserve base!
This guy and his mother also kept it a secret. Who knows what the place was originally intended to be used for?

Hong Mengting didn't think too much and asked: "Where?"

King An protracted his voice proudly, as if he was trying to sell it off: "That's right there, it's also on the second level. It's very famous. I only heard people talk about it at the Changshou Association..."

……

"At a certain moment the day before yesterday, the cage surrounding my soul seemed to be broken through, and everything hidden inside came out. Those memories, those years, those beauties, those sorrows... they all came out like a waterfall. , were all accepted by me, and a complete Mange was resurrected in my body."

"I will never deny that I am her, because no one knows better than me how she really existed. I am her, she is part of me..."

Tang Zhao looked at her in surprise, listening to her cut open himself from the inside out.

"She is completely accepted by me and has occupied the largest and most important part of my life. However, apart from her, there is still a part of me that is extra real, although it is short-lived, although it is not beautiful, although it is completely different from Mange... but Man Ying is me too, Man Ying's life, Man Ying's actions, Man Ying's memory... are also a part of me now. I can't pretend that it never happened, or pretend that it is a mask that Wang Liang put on me. It is The real face, the expression on the face is my expression.”

"I said that, do you understand?"

It felt that its expression was very confusing, but it couldn't speak more clearly for the moment, so it had no choice but to ask Tang Zhao.

Tang Zhao said thoughtfully: "I should understand. You lost your memory and then regained it."

Although this kind of question "Who am I" can be raised to a philosophical level for consideration, if it is more vulgar and only considers the present, it should be compared with amnesia?
The joke about amnesia was played badly by Mr. Chen’s hometown.

Even Tang Zhao didn't like listening to stories when he was a child.

In stories, there are often completely different situations before and after amnesia, and then the contradiction of how to choose when the memory is restored. This time is often accompanied by all kinds of nonsense, and it can take a long time to go back and forth.

Many times, in order to give the audience a straightforward and easy-to-understand experience, this contradiction is simplified to: "Falling in love with someone before amnesia, falling in love with someone after amnesia, who is the true love?" This is a very thin multiple-choice question.

But reality is often much more complex.

It's just that the contradiction between "before" and "after" is similar.

Manying was confused for a long time, and when she heard that Tang Zhao seemed to be able to point to the essence in an understatement, she hurriedly asked: "If it were you, how would you face it?"

Tang Zhao said: "If you want me to answer the question 'Who are you?', I really can't explain it clearly. If you want me to completely solve your troubles and make you understand your thoughts immediately, I can't do it. But if you simply ask me what will happen to me, then I will try to answer... maybe I will escape first and return to reality to avoid it for a while."

Man Ying was surprised: "Return to reality...escape?"

Tang Zhao said: "Yes, find something for yourself to do. Sometimes I get busy just to stop myself from thinking. I will tell myself that it is not the most important thing who I am, what is important is what am I going to do in front of me? I think do what?"

Manying murmured: "What do I want to do? As Mange, I want to meet my friends from back then, and I want to break through obstacles to rescue them. As Manying, I want to preserve my heart..."

Tang Zhao said: "There is no need to split it up like this. No matter who it is, it is you. You only need to think about what you want to do. You can even want them all...huh?"

He lowered his head slightly and found something under his feet. Upon closer inspection, there was a flash of luster among the rubble, and there was a faint flow of vitality.

"Strange, what is this? Is there still this in the ruins?"
