Every time I wake up, I take the blame for the villain

Killing is actually the most destructive thing.

When you see them covered in blood, staring at the ground unwillingly, you will always feel the kind of emotions that a clean person will never have.

There is fear, disgust, and panic.

Especially when they die in your own hands.

Standing on the edge of the cliff of death, looking down at all living things, and constantly pushing one life after another into the abyss with your own hands. Even though they are all so-called scum living in this world...

Cruel, cold-blooded, using superficial gentleness to cover up the inner corruption.

Controlling others from a high position.

Such a person is no different from those who died in his hands.

Jiang Chen gathered his wide sleeves, stood on the mechanical tower of the Evil Valley, looked at the east, and his expression was cold and lonely.

No matter whether it is good or evil, right or wrong, no one in the world has not stained human life.

Not to mention people like him.

It's time to get used to it.

At the end of the day, a cool breeze came in from outside the valley, blowing his white robe and making it rustle. He looked like frost and snow, far away from the bloody atmosphere of the Evil Valley.

The sky was extremely gloomy, reflecting the red rocks in the valley, as if they were emitting a depressing bloody smell.

The mountain rain was about to come.

There was hot steam from the magma in the valley.

The cold and the hot made people feel a strange and horrible feeling in their hearts.

The crows hovered over the corpse vegetable field, making a shrill and unbearable cackle.

The people who died in his hands not long ago have also become fertilizer in the corpse field.

The east is where Chang'an is.

And this Evil Valley will eventually usher in a field of corpses.

He seemed to have smelled the smell of blood and rotten corpses.

But this kind of killing can never end.

Even if his hands are covered with blood, he has to continue.

It is said that people will burst out with great power for their beliefs. He has seen many and destroyed many. And his beliefs were also destroyed bit by bit in the process of destroying others in such a long time.

He saw this, but he could not change it.

Chang'an.

This is a prosperous place from ancient times to the present.

Although this prosperity is the most tempting to destroy the splendor in the war era.

In Jiang Chen's memory for many generations, similar prosperity will inevitably turn into chaos and corpses everywhere.

The 19th year of Kaiyuan, the twelfth month.

The goose feather snow fell, and overnight, Chang'an was like a city of pink jade. Whether it was the jade carved railings of the long bridge, or the dragon eaves and phoenix corners of the glazed tile house, they were all covered by the vast snow.

It was early in the winter night, before people settled down, the lights were lit, but the shadows had not yet completely rested.

It was almost the New Year, and the aroma of the mellow Tusu wine spread throughout the streets and alleys. In front of the gates of the neighborhoods and villages, there are red lanterns hanging, and ten miles of red silk, one after another, forming a dragon and a phoenix. The laughter of the children makes people happy. They wear thick new cotton-padded jackets, holding windmills and candied haws in the streets, running around, leaving a string of footprints on the ground. It is because of the benevolent rule of the current emperor that the people can live in such harmony.

If someone looks far away from the outside of Chang'an City, they can see the rows of glazed green tile eaves covered with a little snow, and the warm and extraordinary red lights of the city, magnificent and brilliant.

Under the feet of the world, the majesty is unmatched.

Even the people from the rivers and lakes who come here will not fly over the eaves and walls blatantly, disturbing the people and breaking the rules of the city.

The current court and the martial arts world are each a system. The government has a high tolerance for people in the rivers and lakes, and the state religion Chunyang Palace is even more respected. Even many affairs have to be handled by the martial arts families in the four places, so officials from all places give three points to the martial arts.

But once you arrive in Chang'an, except for the government, there can only be ordinary people.

This is an unwritten rule in this huge Chang'an city.

Just like where there is light, there are always shadows and darkness. Now, the Tang Dynasty, which seems to be peaceful, also has many hidden dangers.

The surrounding Tubo, Turkic, Nanzhao and several barbarian tribes are eyeing the rich land of the Central Plains. In addition, the extremely cold Kunlun and the Evil Valley are also acting more and more arrogantly.

If it weren't for the numerous talents in the Central Plains, the various martial arts sects, the Tiance suppressing the villains, and the Tang emperor's frequent marriages, the Tang Dynasty would probably not have lived so peacefully.

If he were still the ambitious Prince of Linzi, Li Longji would certainly not let these hidden cancers go. However, after several years of complacency since he ascended the throne, since the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai six years ago went smoothly, as the number one man in the world, his ambitions have gradually disappeared in the daily comfort and prosperity. His vigilance has also decreased year by year.

Maybe it is not obvious now, but this chaotic storm is finally approaching the prosperous Li Tang Dynasty.

Greedy beasts are eyeing this land.

Mencius once said that people are born in worries and die in comfort.

This is a very simple truth.

But in fact, truth is always truth. Before receiving blood training, people's laziness often makes them relax their vigilance and unconsciously step into the abyss.

The palace of the Tang Emperor, the most honorable place in the world, is located in the north of Chang'an City.

Daming Palace.

The long bridge lies on the waves, and the lights on both sides are shining, reflecting in the water, like stars falling, dazzling and extraordinary. There was a faint sound of orchestral music coming from the palace. Perhaps the emperor was visiting the Pear Garden with Concubine Hui.

The imperial guards on both sides of the Suzaku Gate stood straight, solemnly, and motionlessly adhered to their duties.

There was silence.

Suddenly there was a rapid clatter of horse hooves in the distance. Someone and a white horse rushed over from Suzaku Street.

The gatekeeper quickly raised his halberd to stop the intruder.

The general on the horse was an imposing man, wearing red and silver armor. He frowned and looked anxious. He quickly took out a token from his arms and said, "Military situation is important, let us go quickly!"

Xu Changhai took a quick look and saw that it was Li Chengde, the general in charge of the government today. He indeed had a pass in his hand. Hearing that it was military information, he quickly waved his hand to let everyone go.

The emperor was still in the inner palace, chatting with Concubine Wu Hui and admiring flowers.

The general was not very sensible and asked the eunuch Gao Lishi to announce it several times. The emperor had no choice but to put aside Concubine Wu Hui and go to the front hall to receive her.

The calming sandalwood in the hall rose slowly, but it could not ease the depressed mood of the emperor who stepped in.

Such a lookless minister really makes people wonder what to do with him.

Li Longji was wearing a snow silk dark dragon silk robe and a fox fur cover. After all, this was not the time for government affairs. It was getting late, and Gao Lishi reported several times. Li Longji simply appeared in front of Li Chengde without even changing his clothes.

He is now forty years old, has a beautiful beard, wears a white dragon jade crown on his head, has straight eyebrows and a majestic air, and his movements are filled with the majesty of a king.

"Tell me, the general came in a hurry and even asked Gao Lishi to remind me three times. What's the important thing?" The word "urge" was particularly clear in the empty hall.

Long Yan was displeased, and everyone's hearts sank. The hall fell silent for a moment.

Gao Lishi looked at the emperor, then at Li Chengde, and sighed in his heart. I just hope that this person will not be too upright at this moment, so as not to get angry.

Li Chengde was dressed in red and silver armor, and his weapons had been removed when he entered the palace. As soon as Li Longji finished speaking, Li Chengde immediately bowed his head and bowed. Faced with the emperor's hidden anger, he showed no fear and calmly stated, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I am not here to cause trouble for nothing."

"Humph!" Li Longji just glanced at him coldly.

Now that the festival is approaching, it is rare to get together with Concubine Hui to watch the opera and dance in the Liyuan. It is good that she has traveled all the way to the south of the Yangtze River to invite Gongsun's disciples to perform, but this reckless martial artist who is not elegant and elegant has spoiled the fun.

"If you have something to do, please tell me quickly." Li Longji was already a little impatient, but he still looked at the long-standing face of this capable general of Tiance Mansion and did not get angry.

Li Chengde knew that his entry into the palace in the middle of the night had obviously disturbed the emperor's elegance, so he did not want to delay any longer. He said concisely and concisely, "Your Majesty, I am here just to request an order to send additional personnel to destroy the Valley of Evil."

Li Longji frowned, "The Valley of Evil?"

Li Chengde said, "Reporting to Your Majesty. According to reports from the Kunlun Shence soldiers, Wang Yifeng has fled into the Valley of the Evil Ones, and the Valley of the Evil Ones has also accepted this person. Your Majesty, the place where these evil villains gather is like a cancer in our land of the Tang Dynasty." If all those who make mistakes can escape into the Valley of the Wicked, in the long run, the law will not be enforced and it will be detrimental to the country. Therefore, I have the courage to ask your Majesty to issue an order to let the two armies of Shence and Tiance go out to completely destroy the den of thieves."

"Didn't I already send people to capture Wang Yifeng?"

Li Chengde looked ugly, but he still replied truthfully, "Your Majesty, Wang Yifeng is very skilled in martial arts, and the hundreds of elites who were sent to ambush at the foot of Kunlun Mountain in the Valley of the Evil in advance have been...all of them are loyal..."

Li Longji's expression also became solemn. He had experienced Xie Yunliu's change in the past, and had seen Lu Weilou's skills with his own eyes, so he also understood these martial arts people. These people's skills are indeed extraordinary, and it is difficult for ordinary soldiers to resist them. I just didn't expect that Wang Yifeng could actually escape into the Valley of the Evil Ones when hundreds of elites were ambushed in advance. He pondered for a moment and then asked, "...General Yi, then..."

Li Chengde hesitated for a moment, then recommended, "Your Majesty, I would like to recommend one person to lead the gods and heaven to strategize the two armies, plus ten thousand people, to destroy the Valley of the Wicked."

Li Longji raised his eyebrows and said noncommittally, "Ai Qing is referring to..."

"Xie Yuan."

"Xie Yuan?..." Li Longji read these two words over and over again, but couldn't find any impression from his memory.

"This person was one of the best in martial arts in the Tiance Mansion in the past... It's just..." Li Chengde felt particularly embarrassed when he thought about this problem, "He was just a commoner, so the generals in Tiance were inevitably dissatisfied. I sent him to contact me a few years ago. The martial arts world is now somewhat effective. The Valley of the Evil Ones is the most evil place in the world, and there are many people in the world. If this person is used to fight against the Valley of the Evil Ones, the result will be twice the result with half the effort."

He recommended him so, and Li Longji just glanced at him and said, "Ai Qing is very knowledgeable about this situation."

There was something in these words. Li Chengde immediately felt that he had said too much and felt that what he said was from a public heart. He said without hesitation or avoidance, "Your Majesty, I am just worried that the evil people will become powerful. Your Majesty is a benevolent leader who loves the people. Now the people of Kunlun I have been oppressed by the Valley of the Wicked for many years, and the people in the Valley are all sinister and vicious people. In recent years, the Valley of the Wicked has become more and more wanton and has no laws, and all the villains are at large here. I hope that your Majesty will think twice and send someone to order The army destroyed this place.”

Gao Lishi stood behind Li Longji, holding a whisk and saying nothing.

Li Longji suddenly asked, "Where is Changshi Xia now?"

Gao Lishi was stunned for a moment and replied, "In the side hall."

Xia Ziqian... This person is really favored by His Majesty and is quite troublesome... If things go on like this, there will be no place for them in the palace...

Gao Lishi secretly sighed, I really don't know where this person came from. Those strange and weird things always make His Majesty smile. It's only been three months, and he has been promoted from an unknown person to a casual knight. This is no small official...

Whatever, as long as your majesty is happy.

It's just that Gao Lishi always felt that Xia Ziqian was different from what he looked like. He seemed to be knowledgeable and rich, but in fact he was a rotten idiot. If he stayed with His Majesty, he might become a disaster in the long run. It's just that now this man is in great glory, and Gao Lishi is well versed in officialdom, so he really doesn't want to face the edge.

Li Longji raised his eyebrows and pointedly said, "Xia Aiqing is very knowledgeable and must have some knowledge of the Valley of the Wicked. Send him over."

Before he finished speaking, an eunuch hurried in and announced, "Your Majesty, Xia Ziqian is here to see you."

Li Longji smiled inexplicably and looked at Gao Lishi and Li Chengde, "It seems that our regular attendant has a close connection with me..."

Gao Lishi frowned secretly. It's such a coincidence that this person always comes... It seems that whether His Majesty is happy or sad, he can know immediately. But even if he was brave and dared to plant an informant in the palace, he would never be able to achieve such a timely effect.

Is it really a coincidence?

It concerns the safety of the emperor, and Gao Lishi doesn't dare to be careless...

He seemed to be standing behind Li Longji, with his head bowed and respectfully standing. In fact, his eyes were always on the person coming, sizing him up secretly.

Xia Ziqian, dressed in official uniform, hurried in from the gate, lifted up his clothes and said as a big gift, "Long live your Majesty, long live long live."

The light of the pearl filled the hall.

The visitor raised his head, his appearance was straight, and there was a convincing magic power in his words and deeds. He seemed to be an honest and delicate scholar, but looking at his daily behavior, Gao Lishi always felt that this person was sleek, sophisticated, ambitious, and not an easy person to get along with.

Gao Lishi often accompanied the emperor, and he was loyal and capable. Li Longji also admired this person. Therefore, although he is a eunuch, he is more respected than many ministers and princes. Even on major national issues, he would often ask Gao Lishi for his opinion.

Xia Ziqian also deliberately tried to please Gao Lishi. Therefore, Gao Lishi was very suspicious of this person's indifference to fame and fortune.

Li Longji said, "I just mentioned Aiqing, and you came here in time. If General Li and Gao Lishi hadn't stepped out of this palace, I would have thought there were people under Aiqing here. Could it be that Aiqing is still here?" Will it predict the future?”

Gao Lishi raised his brows and secretly said that Your Majesty is wise and has not been deceived by the novel methods of this person in the past few months.

Xia Ziqian's face was a little ugly, and he also heard the meaning of these words. He was just asking him if he had an spy in the palace. He secretly thought that he was too anxious. In the past few days, the emperor's favorability had been going up and down, and his treatment of him had been hot and cold. He lost control for a moment. "Your Majesty, I am loyal to Your Majesty, and heaven and earth can learn from it. I just stayed in the side hall, thinking about the recent renovation of the moat and the casting of glazed tiles, so I came to see Your Majesty temporarily."

Li Longji smiled slightly, as if he accepted the explanation, "Get flat, Xia Aiqing."

He was so silent.

Xia Ziqian was even more panicked.

After a long time, Li Longji said, "Xia Aiqing, have you heard about the Valley of the Wicked? I wonder what Aiqing thinks about the Valley of the Wicked..."

At the mention of the Valley of the Wicked, Xia Ziqian's face turned ferocious for a moment with his head lowered. He quickly adjusted his attitude and said in a tone that was for the country and the people, "Your Majesty, I believe that removing the Valley of the Wicked is a matter of benefit to the people. Kunlun is a barbaric land, and the people there are ignorant and can also take this opportunity to show them the style of the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty has been prosperous and peaceful for many years, and many young people have forgotten the reputation of Shence and Tiance. This time, I will use Tiance and Shence. The style of the mansion intimidates those barbarian tribes.”

These words are really thoughtful. Li Longji smiled and said, "That's fine."

His face darkened, "Order Qin Yiyan to lead ten thousand troops..."

Li Chengde frowned slightly and wanted to mention Xie Yuan again. Gao Lishi winked at him. Li Chengde saw this and knew that this was the emperor's biggest concession.

Xia Ziqian rolled his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, there are many desperadoes in the Valley of Evil, and I'm afraid there are more than ten thousand troops..."

Li Longji frowned, "Tiance was created by the late emperor, and they are all elite. How many people are there in the Valley of Evil who can withstand my general Tiance? Li Chengde!"

"I'm here!"

"Is it possible for more than ten thousand soldiers to kill all the evildoers?"

Li Chengde hesitated for a moment, "I'm afraid there will be casualties..."

Xia Ziqian advised, "Your Majesty, it is said that there are many institutions in the evil valley, and Wang Yifeng is a master of various martial arts. Your Majesty, please do not take it lightly..."

"Okay! There are still 100,000 Shence troops at the Anxi Protectorate, and another 20,000 will be transferred from there. Li Chengde, go by yourself!"

Li Longji left impatiently.

The few people looked at each other for a while and then walked out of the hall.

Xia Ziqian chuckled, bowed his hands to Li Chengde, and said, "I wish General Li a safe journey. I will successfully capture Wang Yifeng's head and avenge tens of thousands of people in Zigong." His eyes flashed with a dark and sinister look. , Li Chengde looked very uncomfortable, but this man is now a famous person in front of the emperor, and he just helped him speak before his majesty. Li Chengde couldn't be cold and said politely, "Chengxia always serves Ji Yan. "

This transfer order was passed to the border guards.

Shence's army mobilized a large number of troops, and Tiance also moved frequently, which undoubtedly attracted the attention of the martial arts.

After hearing that they were chasing Wang Yifeng and destroying the Valley of Evil, the martial arts sect was gearing up even more.

Led by Shaolin, the eight major sects such as Changge, Ba Dao, and Qixiu, followed closely behind the two armies, vowed to eliminate evil and preserve righteousness, and promote the majesty of the world.

When Jiang Chen received this news, he held the letter in his hand, wondering if he should have a feeling of "as expected, it finally happened".

If he were the emperor, he would never allow the Evil Valley to continue to develop. Wang Yifeng's joining can only be regarded as a fuse.

The only consolation is that the people in the Evil Valley were only panicked for a moment, and soon they spontaneously organized themselves to repair equipment and familiarize themselves with the mechanism. No one was willing to retreat.

This can also be regarded as...

People who will not drag their feet will always make people happier.

This is undoubtedly the best time to accept the Evil Valley.

This new life is destined to struggle between the so-called good and evil.
