"Students" Conspiracy

"Who?" Baili Fengjian raised his voice and asked after squinting his eyes with the intention of inquiring.

"Under Zuo Tingzhi, I met Baili Sword Master 120 years ago."

I really don't remember this person, but I can guess why he came without asking.

He didn't want to mention these things in front of Jing Che, so he got up and said: "Master will tell you in detail later, and you can sleep for a while."

When I drew back my right hand, I found that it was covered with a thin layer of wet sweat.Involuntarily looking back at Jing Che, she turned her body towards the stone wall resentfully, and ignored him.

People who know too much live too tired.He silently said this to the little apprentice in his heart.Then he held his five fingers empty, twisted an inch of the sleeve robe in the palm of his hand, the sweat was dry, and then went out the door.

The person outside the stone gate stood tall and straight under the ever-burning lamp, with a refined face, handsome and thin, with a righteous air that was not angry and majestic, with deep and quiet eyes, less hostile and impulsive than Qiying, and more composed and thinking.

"It's you." Baili Fengjian remembered it, and didn't express any surprise, but just mentioned it lightly.

He has always been too lazy to remember people's names, he only recognizes people by their faces.What's more, most people will report their family name when they see him, so there is no need for everyone to care about it.

He didn't know much about things in the south, but this Zuo Tingzhi really left a deep impression on him.

When Zhenyi was still at war, Zuo Tingzhi went from a mere poor scholar to the position of admiral in the three southern cities in three years. It must be said that it was a miracle in the officialdom.When Baili Fengjian took over the post of general in the imperial capital that year, he secretly sighed when he saw him. He didn't expect this kind of scholar and scholar to be the legendary admiral of the three cities who was vigorous and strong.

"I didn't expect the Juggernaut to remember me," he bowed his hands in an unassuming way, and sighed, "The first time I saw the Juggernaut a hundred years ago was a general obeisance ceremony, and I just wanted to fight the enemy with the Juggernaut with a majestic body. Helplessly, I am just a scholar with no power to restrain a chicken, so I can only sit behind the battle and play with words."

Hearing that there was something else in his words, Baili Fengjian just blocked his words in a leisurely manner: "Now that you are on the front line, you don't have any regrets."

What a smart person Zuo Tingzhi was, he knew that facing Baili Fengjian no longer needed to insinuate his temptations, so he opened the skylight and said frankly: "It's a pity that I can't fight side by side with Juggernaut now."

"I have already escaped from the world, you don't need to spend any more time asking me to come out of the mountain."

There was already a little anger in his tone: "The Sword Master also saw it with his own eyes, and now our clansmen are still slaughtered. It can be said that all the Zhenyi people in Kunfang City died for the Sword Master yesterday. Didn't the Sword Master Shaken in the slightest?"

"Because of this, I can't fight side by side with you all." He raised his lazy eyebrows, and his expression was also righteous.

I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me.Baili Fengjian no longer wants to be exposed to such a strong sense of guilt.What's more, no matter whether he saves him or not, the world will be in such a bad state, and it is already a foregone conclusion.

"After so many years of drunkenness and dreams, the sword master has not recovered from that incident?!" Zuo Tingzhi knew the severity, and it was a helpless act to stimulate him to expose the scars, so he could only stop at the end, not with him. elaborate.

Everyone knows what happened back then, so they condoned the Juggernaut's escape from the world for so many years.

And when Baili Fengjian thought back to those years, his mind was filled with crimson blood and blood, so strong that it could not be erased.

That person's voice, face and smile were all soaked in blood, so long ago that he couldn't see clearly.It's like a pot of strong wine that has been brewed for a hundred years. Just smelling it, it is so strong that it chokes the nose and almost tears.

Clenching his fingers tightly, his joints were already turning pale, but his expression was still neither salty nor dull, concealing his slight irritation: "It's better to be drunk than to sacrifice meaninglessly."

"Sacrifice for nothing?" Zuo Tingzhi was full of righteous indignation, using the unique literati's eloquence and eloquence: "Even though Jiahuang Mountain can protect the villages of survivors at the foot of the mountain, the people of Lincang can use all kinds of methods to protect them." Can you protect it for a lifetime? I watched batch after batch of doll slaves with their minds stripped from the sleeping place of the cloud soul and the tiger for the nobles to play with. Those who are still alive, are they going to sit and wait until the day when the whole clan is wiped out?"

He was absolutely right.It's not that Baili Fengjian hasn't heard or thought about these things.

The Cloud Soul and Tiger Sleeping Place has a notorious reputation, but it is hidden in a secret place, and no one has known its exact location for a hundred years.It was the place where the Lincang Empire imprisoned Zhenyi people, and those who went in became mindless slaves when they came out.

Zhenyi is tall and beautiful, with a soft body and fair skin. Unlike the Lincang people, who come from thick bones and are good at wielding knives and guns, these beautiful dolls like puppets are the best tools for nobles from all over the world to play with. .

There are more than one million Zhenyi people imprisoned in the sleeping place of cloud soul and tiger, but only a hundred or so slaves come out every year. No one knows what happened to the rest of them.

It's not that he hasn't tried hard, but that he has fallen too badly, and he has lost so much that he has nothing to care about. The world is so big, how can he overturn it with a single sword?

Heh... so negative, he is no longer worthy of holding a sword.

He is not worthy, he is not worthy of being so respected by the world, let alone the word "holy".

Even if he is drunk, he is not afraid of the world's criticism.He just doesn't want to embark on the bloody road again, and now the only thing he wants to do is to protect Ah Che well, to ensure that she grows up safely, and then send her to the bottom of the imperial mausoleum.As for what Sui Sheng's ultimate secret was, he actually didn't care much.Because he doesn't believe, doesn't believe that there will be any secret that can subvert the whole world.

What is dead is dead.I can't save it.

Zhen Yi died.

She is also dead.Back then, her body was right in front of his eyes, and his sword was in his hand, but if he wanted him to exchange the killing sword for the power of heaven, he was not a god, so he couldn't do it.

A trace of coldness flashed across the bottom of his eyes, but more, unclear, cloudy drunkenness engulfed his last hesitation like a flood engulfing an isolated island: "I want to save people, I'm afraid of death. Cloud souls and tigers sleep on the ground, I don't want to die." Dare to break in."

"Sword Master!" Still wanting to persuade again, the stone door that was moved and closed stopped his blood.

Zuo Tingzhi suddenly understood that he had a long talk with Qiying before coming, and where did the helplessness on his face come from.

Qiying said, "Thousands of clansmen kneel and beg now, but it is hard to stop the Juggernaut's determination to hide from the world. We once mistakenly thought that the Juggernaut is Zhuge Liang, who can be moved by just looking at the thatched cottage, but how do we know that the Juggernaut is already as good as his heart?" Dead ashes... Forget it, if you don't believe me, you can try it."

He believed it.But he is not reconciled, if there is no power of the sword master in this battle, the chance of success in the cloud and soul tiger's sleep is almost zero!

When he thought of those suffering clansmen, he...

There was a trace of pain on the elegant and calm face, and the hand holding the pen hit the stone wall heavily, and the candlelight of the ever-burning lamp flickered.

*****

Unknowingly, after drinking the rest of the night, Baili Fengjian, who smelled of alcohol, unceremoniously picked up Jing Che from the bed the next day, intending to say goodbye and leave the place.

Although he was resolute, he couldn't bear to see the disappointed expressions of his clansmen.If he stayed any longer, people would come to lobby him every day, even if he didn't waver, he would feel extremely guilty.

Then he can run away, just hide, this is what he has been doing for a hundred years, what he is best at.

Jing Che held his nose and thought he smelled of alcohol, while the boss reluctantly said that he would go to visit Qiying before leaving, so he left Baili Fengjian in the room.He was bored waiting, so he picked up his gourd and started drinking again.This gourd is a treasure. It has been with him for decades. Although it looks small, it can hold at least five jars of wine.

One side was full of wine, but the other side was talking vigorously.

"Are you feeling better? I shouldn't have insisted on going my own way in the secret path, but I've hurt you." Standing in front of Qiying's hospital bed, Jing Che was still a little scared, so he was extremely sincere at this time.She was even a little embarrassed, because she bit his right hand, so he could only hold the sword with his left hand.

"I'm not in the way," said the words with a pale face, more like a white lie just to comfort the little girl: "It's just that you do things in the future, Ache... you should worry more about the affairs behind you, don't refuse to listen like this anymore Advise, do not compromise."

In fact, he didn't listen very seriously. Jing Che doesn't like lectures, and doesn't like being taught how to do things by others. It's just that he is not that familiar with Qiying, and he can't do as he pleases like rebelling against Baili Fengjian. At this moment, he nodded absently, I can't wait to change the topic: "Brother Qiying, let me see how your injury is."

After saying that, he couldn't help but want to take off his quilt.

Qiying is from a traditional military background, and has always respected the incompatibility between men and women. At this time, her pale face was slightly flushed, but she pretended to be calm and calmly pinched the quilt, and her voice trembled unconsciously: "Ache, I'm actually fine."

"That's it." Jing Che withdrew his hand, scratched his hair, and grinned with a clear smile, "Then I have to go, but since Master has formed an alliance with you, we will meet again in the future."

Seven Shadows looked at Jing Che inexplicably: "The Sword Master has not formed an alliance with us. He will take you back to Jiahuang Mountain during this trip, and he will not interfere with the restoration of the South."

Jing Che almost jumped up in surprise.Last night, she vaguely overheard that man say to her master, "It's a pity that I can't fight side by side with the Juggernaut". She thought that such an obvious invitation, the master would definitely agree.Saving the world is such an important matter as the clan's restoration of the country, and he still chooses to stand by and watch?

——How much alcohol did he drink to get this confused?With so many clansmen who died yesterday, even she, a girl, was full of enthusiasm and willing to fight for the world, but why was he still so indifferent?

Jing Che was so angry that he didn't say a word, and rushed out of the room with an undisguised anger.
