That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 721
Xu Beiyou fell into deep thought again.

In order to save her life, Shangguan Qiushui will definitely tell a lot of truths, but also to save her life, she will also have nine truths and one falsehood, inserting such a lie among the many truths, so that she can't tell the difference, and there will be her own conspiracy.

In fact, these are nothing, there are only two points that really matter.

The first point is that Yang Bo Fu is Gongsun Bo Fu.

The second point is that the Murong family has plans.

Xu Beiyou felt in a trance that the Wei country was not monolithic as he had imagined, and now it was also undercurrents and turbulent waves.

Shangguan Qiushui said slowly: "Mr. Xu, I have already told you everything I know. Can you keep your promise?"

Xu Beiyou suddenly asked: "I killed Shangguan Luan, don't you want revenge?"

Shangguan Qiushui's eyes were like autumn waves, with little ripples in them, showing a sense of coldness, she bit her lip, and said slowly: "Mr. Where to go, I have been away from home for many years, don't talk about a Shangguan chaos, so what if they are all dead?"

Xu Beiyou clicked his tongue, feeling that people's hearts can be so cold. No matter how long the road is, it can't grow as long as your feet, and no matter how cold the sky is, it can't be as cold as people's hearts.

Shangguan Qiushui saw that he didn't intend to kill anyone, so he stretched out his hand to lightly brush the messy hair on his temples, and said softly: "I don't expect you to let me go, saving my life is better than anything else, after all The sky, the earth, and the life are the most important, as the old saying goes, if you keep the green hills, you won’t have to worry about firewood.”

Xu Beiyou said calmly: "Come with me to Biyou Island, and I will let you go."

Shangguan Qiushui felt relieved immediately, her eyes glowed again, she knew that she really didn't have to die this time.

There was silence between the two again, Shangguan Qiushui stared at Xu Beiyou's side face, and suddenly asked: "You let Huang Xiao escape, then your whereabouts have been exposed, don't forget that this is the country of Wei, aren't you afraid?"

Xu Beiyou frowned slightly, but remained silent.

She asked again: "Do you know whose son Meng Suilong is?"

Xu Beiyou said: "I know, Meng Dongfei's son."

Shangguan Qiushui smiled and said: "Then do you know who his father is?"

Xu Beiyou didn't know who this little bastard was, and he replied casually, "It can't be Xiao Jin's illegitimate son."

Shangguan Qiushui seemed to be choked hard, with a strange expression on his face.

Xu Beiyou was surprised: "Meng Suilong is really Xiao Jin's son?"

Shangguan Qiushui was in a bad mood and didn't want to say anything more.

Xu Beiyou said to himself: "Meng Dongfei is a member of the Ghost King's Palace, and the Ghost King's Palace was supported by Xiao Jin. I used to wonder why Meng Dongfei was ranked among the Four Great Lords of the Underworld. It turned out to be the reason. , it is said that mothers are more expensive than children, no wonder no wonder..."

Shangguan Qiushui snorted coldly.

……

On an official road that is more than a hundred miles away from the "Eastern Capital" of the State of Wei, there are three temporary travelers traveling together. They are all going to the "Eastern Capital" of the State of Wei. A middle-aged man, blatantly wearing a sword in disregard of the "Abandoned Sword Order". He also led a half-grown boy who also carried a very long sword on his back, but both of them looked a little embarrassed, and there was another The old Confucian scholar, who looked not young, had white hair all over his head, wore a half-new Confucian shirt, and carried an old bookcase on his back, imitating the style of young scholars who went on study tours.

The half-grown boy with a sword on his back didn't like to see this old guy very much. He didn't read a righteous spirit in reading, but he read a poor air. He was poor and sour. He especially liked to drop his book bags. He who doesn't like reading feels very annoying, but this old man still has the problem of being a teacher, so he wants to come over and tell him a few words of the saint's principles when he has nothing to do, which makes the already angry boy I can't wait to kill this old guy with a sword, but after encountering that evil star in Jiuyuan City, the master's face is not very good-looking, the young man naturally knows how to handle it, and dare not make mistakes easily.

But he couldn't figure it out, why didn't Master go back to the 'Eastern Capital' directly, but went with this old guy halfway, could it be that this old guy is some kind of extraterrestrial expert?But no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it.

Just when the old man started to recite the classics of the sages, Huang Xiao, who hadn't spoken much along the way, suddenly asked, "Excuse me, old man, why did you go to the 'Dongdu' this time?"

The old man stroked his beard subconsciously, and replied: "To be honest, this old man has traveled thousands of miles to Wei State this time. Apart from traveling, he still has one unfulfilled wish, which is to meet His Royal Highness King Wei. Your Highness is willing to see me, an old man, so if I want to talk to him about my reasoning, it is not a waste of time."

Meng Suilong curled his lips, and said with a sneer: "The mighty king of Wei takes care of all kinds of opportunities every day, will he be free to see you?"

The old man didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "Little guy, how about we make a bet? I bet that King Wei will definitely meet me."

Meng Suilong was about to speak when suddenly he caught a glimpse of Master's serious expression from the corner of his eye. He was startled and swallowed the words that had already come to his lips. Huang Xiao said slowly, "The old man is just being reasonable?"

The old Confucian scholar chuckled, "That's what I mean, but I don't know what His Royal Highness Wei Wang means."

The thoughtful Huang Xiao frowned, thoughtful.

The old man built a pergola with his hands and looked towards the "Eastern Capital" from a distance, but his appearance was a little funny, like the Monkey King in a drama. Meng Suilong, who had been deliberately stern, was amused by his action and asked: " Old man, what reason do you want to explain to King Wei?"

The old Confucian scholar straightened his expression, and said slowly: "It's not so much reasoning, it's better to say that this old man wants to persuade the king of Wei beyond his capacity, to persuade him not to use weapons rashly, and to persuade him not to allow this to be done for his own selfish desires." The whole world is devastated."

Meng Suilong grinned, but the smile was silent.

Huang Xiao suddenly pressed Meng Suilong's shoulder, turned his head and smiled at the old man, "Old man, we, the master and the apprentice, have something to do, we have to go first, see you later."

The old Confucian scholar waved his hands and said calmly: "Go, I hope that when we meet again in the future, the three of us will not fight each other."

Huang Xiao kept silent, grabbed Meng Suilong's figure and disappeared in a flash.

After the old Confucian scholar was left alone, he looked around with a dejected look.

Then he began to walk slowly along the post road towards the 'East Capital'.

He has read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles, and he has met many interesting people along the way.

First, the young but gray-headed young man, who has vigor, but holds it in, like a sword hidden in its sheath. I don't know what kind of brilliance it will be when it is drawn out of the sheath one day.

Then there is the woman whose surname is Murong, who is still as magnificent as she was decades ago, but she has lost the gentleness she used to have, her heart has been soaked by the world of mortals, and she has only a body.

Then there is a pair of master and apprentice who just broke up. The master is okay, well-behaved. If he dies young, he does not know how many turbulent waves will be stirred up in the world in the future.

But that's all for the future, it's not his turn to take care of it, the old guy who is half buried in the loess, and he shouldn't take care of it.

He, it is enough to do what is in front of him.
