That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 864
Heroes come out of troubled times. I have to say that troubled times are the place that sharpens people the most. Back then, Wei Xianji and Zhang Dingguo, two penniless young men, grew up in troubled times to stand alone. Only those who are capable and lucky can survive, and the rest can only die.

Wu Yu and Li Qinglian walked out of the Sword Qi Lingkong Hall together. Li Qinglian has gone through ups and downs in the past few years and has changed a lot. She is no longer the heartless young lady she was back then. He said to Wu Yu who was walking side by side: "Sister Wu, are you really going to kill me?"

Wu Yu said slowly: "Qinglian, the world has changed a lot today, and the king of Wei Chen Bing Jiangnan, if we are not members of Jianzong, but the king of Wei, put ourselves in the position and look at the current situation from the perspective of the king of Wei, how can we conquer the situation?" Back then, Jiangdu City, where all the army was destroyed? Strong attack is undoubtedly the worst strategy. Still facing Da Qi, so the king of Wei has no strategy to attack, and there is no way to attack, and the only strategy is to attack soldiers. And the strategy of attacking soldiers is also divided into high and low. With the strategy of King Wei, it is likely to be prepared in advance."

Li Qinglian was usually not interested in these things, but after listening to Wu Yu's eloquence, she could listen to it, and couldn't help asking: "Sister Wu means that King Wei set up an ambush in Jiangdu City, so all the masters will let us go... …kill."

Wu Yu shook his head and said: "It's not an ambush, it's the big Jiangnan families in the city. The so-called families are families from generation to generation. The family name is before the country. It has always been said that a country can be destroyed but a family cannot be destroyed. I want to do this , It is inevitable that one mountain will look at another mountain high, and feel that the court has treated them badly, so they want to choose a new master and be the hero of the new dynasty. If they cooperate internally and externally, King Wei can take Jiangdu without any effort."

Li Qinglian looked complicated, "But those people are all friends in normal times."

Wu Yu said softly: "My father has said more than once that there are no friends in the officialdom, and the officialdom is like this. Now the situation is more dangerous than the officialdom, so there is no such thing as friends."

Li Qinglian was a little dazed, and Wu Yu continued: "Those so-called friends on weekdays are all superficial and fake! If they are allowed to open the city gate and let King Wei's army enter the city, where should we be? There will be no place to die! If you and I fall into the hands of the rebellious army, I am afraid that our fate will be worse than death, so we have to act first, not only for the sake of the overall situation, but also for self-preservation. Besides, if they were standing in our position, they would do the same thing, so Qinglian, you don't have to feel guilty."

Li Qinglian said in a low voice: "Qinglian doesn't know whether what she did today is right or wrong. Since Master, Senior Brother and Sister Wu all said so, Qinglian is naturally duty bound."

Wu Yu looked up into the distance, and sighed softly: "In troubled times, the world is like a copper furnace, and all living beings are like coals in the furnace, and no one can escape."

The two quickly left Qingfengfang. Before leaving, Wu Yu confessed: "Today's matter is of great importance. If you encounter any difficult problems, don't make up your own mind. Report to the teacher and let the teacher come and get it. idea."

Li Qinglian nodded, bid farewell to Wu Yu, and left alone.

Wu Yu returned to one of his temporary residences. At this time, the courtyard was already full of swordsmen, but Wu Yu did not rush to give orders. He moved a chair and sat on the porch in front of the house, quietly waiting for everyone to arrive.

Unlike Li Qinglian who didn't know about it beforehand, Zhang Xueyao had given Wu Yu the truth in advance, so Wu Yu had already been mentally prepared for this, and the Tianyuanfang she was in charge of was the top priority. According to the news, there are two vines that need to be cleaned up in Tianyuanfang, namely the mansion of Jiangdu Press and an inconspicuous temple. As for the Goulan brothel and other places, most of them are under the direct control of the three families, but no trouble has arisen.

Thinking of this, Wu Yu somehow suddenly remembered the Yanyu Tower back then, and the Demon Town Hall that night.

The sky was getting darker. Compared with Jiangbei, the climate in Jiangnan was much warmer, and it was not enough to light a stove. However, after nightfall, the cold wind was still piercing. Wu Yu, who was dressed in single clothes, sat firmly in the wind, motionless, until everyone After all arrived, she slowly got up from the chair, and said in a deep voice: "Do it according to the original plan, and there must be no mistakes."

All the swordsmen in the courtyard knelt on one knee and agreed with a loud bang.

Wu Yu bowed respectfully to the woman beside him again, and said softly, "Thank you, senior."

……

The church is a novelty, and its essence is nothing more than Taoist temples, Buddhist temples, and Confucian academies, all of which should be regarded as detached places of birth.This temple called Lotus Temple is called a Buddhist temple, but it is actually a church. Since Li Fenggu was seriously injured and returned to Wei State to recuperate, many Templars abandoned the original Xianhua Temple and entered Jiangdu City as Western tourists. , settled in this lotus temple.

Since it is a place of birth, it should be responsible and should not be involved in the secular world. However, the holy hall traveled thousands of miles to the south of the Yangtze River, and naturally it was not for the sake of being born in the world. The hall is by no means a quiet place detached from the outside world, and it is reasonable to have such actions.

The reason why the Lotus Temple is named after the lotus flower is because the lotus flower in the temple is very famous. However, it was at the end of autumn, and all the lotus flowers in the temple had withered, leaving only pieces of lotus on the water surface. Beside the lake in the temple, I stared at a pool of residual lotus in a daze.

In the holy church, he is Li Fenggu's subordinate, and in the Augustus family, he is a retainer, so he followed Li Fenggu to the east to complete the holy edict of the Pope.Although this trip to the East seemed to be going well, after autumn, his heart was covered with a layer of indelible gloom.

Just like a pool of residual lotus in front of him.

He doesn't really like this kind of flower that belongs to the east, but when he first came here, it was still summer, and the lotus in the pond was beautiful, but in a blink of an eye, it was autumn, and it was withered, which made him feel a lot of emotion, and even gave birth to Some kind of doubt, whether this is a revelation from God to him.

At night, the night was as green as ink, and a pool of clear water was as dark as ink. The lights in the whole temple were faintly lit, and most of them were shrouded in darkness. The silence was a little scary.

Aoqi slowly got up from the pond and was about to take a rest.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of breaking through the air.

In the deep night, dozens of white streaks rushed towards Aoqi.

Aoqi frowned slightly. Although he was not wearing any armor, he pulled out the long sword at his waist, and with just a sweep of the horizontal sword, he knocked the flying swords to the ground one by one.

Immediately after, more than a dozen figures came over the wall to the courtyard, and saw that they each stretched out their hands, and the flying swords that were knocked to the ground returned to the master's hands one after another.

At the same time, dark guards in black brocade robes entered the Lotus Temple, holding Tianji crossbows that had already been strung with God-killing arrows, all aiming at Aoqi.

However, Aoqi's eyes stayed more on the woman who entered the temple last.

As the leader of the Templar Knights, Aoqi is naturally strong. According to the division of the Eastern Realm, he can be regarded as the fifth floor of the earth fairy. Naturally, these so-called swordsmen and dark guards are not in his eyes. Only the woman let him It's like facing a big enemy.
