The fierce attack from Evilman's Valley to the foot of Nanping Mountain turned Nanping Mountain upside down, and it was about to break through the Hengshan Haoqi League's general stronghold in one fell swoop, but Shen Yun left.

With Ye Fengjun in his arms, he led the eighteen cavalry away without nostalgia or hesitation.

It seems that the expedition he expended such a huge amount of manpower and financial resources was not for the purpose of conquering Luoyan City, and he also had no interest in dominating the rivers and lakes—killing Qi Yun was the end of everything.

The owner of the valley left, and the army of the Wicked Valley retreated quietly. Ye Youqi hurriedly took La Liao Yungui's hand, his eyes were still red: "Master, once the incident in the Wicked Valley is over, I will come back to look for you... okay?" good?"

"Okay." Liao Yungui knew that he was not feeling well, raised his hand and pinched the tip of his nose, "Master is waiting for you."

Until the last person in the Valley of the Wicked left, the night of Nanping Mountain was completely shrouded. On the cold river surface, wreckage, corpses, and blood were all exposed under the moonlight, like pale and chapped veins on the earth.

"Daoist Liao... what's wrong with you?" Ji Miao said with a hoarse voice, when he saw Liao Yungui bent down while clutching his chest, he was immediately terrified, "Prince Daoist?"

"...It's okay, maybe the dragon fish broke his ribs when he fell into the water." Liao Yungui gently pressed his chest, "It's okay, let's go back."

At the beginning of the war, there were too many things waiting for the aftermath, and after Qi Yun's death, the position of the leader of the mighty alliance was vacant, and I don't know how many people were eyeing it.

He can't show fatigue at this time.

"But Daoist..." Ji Miao sincerely respects Liao Yungui. Now that he knows that his ribs are broken and he is fine, he and Ye Fengjun were fished out of the river, and then killed the dragon, fish and beast in one fell swoop. He couldn't help worrying, "Your injury It's no small matter, if you delay it any longer..."

"Do you want to be the leader of Haoqi?" Liao Yungui stood still and interrupted him, "Do you want to?"

"!!" Ji Miao took a step back, his expression changed slightly, "Taoist?"

"Son of General Ji, I believe I won't be mistaken." Liao Yungui said slowly and carefully, "Haoqi is now riddled with holes and falling apart. If you can take over the burden and rebuild the mountains and rivers, Liao will be the one to do it." Protect each other with all your strength."

"But the position of the lord looks good, but in fact, every step of the way is frightening. If you are not careful, you will lose everything... If you don't want to, Pindao will not force you."

"And..." Liao Yungui suddenly took a step closer and lowered his voice, "Even if Pindao supports the little general to take this position today, if the little general loses his heart and becomes a selfish person like Qi Yun..."

"Whether Liao is in the remotest corners of the world, he will definitely return to Luoyan Peak and take the head of King Xiang."

"..." Faced with such a threat, Ji Miao calmed down, "Okay."

At this time, Ji Miao still couldn't fully understand what that position meant, and he didn't know how the so-called loneliness at a high place was so cold to the bone, but he felt that if there was such a sharp knife hanging behind him, he would surely Never make mistakes.

Later, he was the leader of Haoqi for 43 years. During this period, he put down more than a dozen rebellions, large and small, and his life was hanging by a thread. ...Suddenly, how many years have passed, whenever the alliance encounters a catastrophe, Liao Yungui will appear to help him, and then leave gracefully.

And after he abdicated safely and chose the youngest and most prestigious person in the alliance to take over, Liao Yungui would not come again.

The hidden sword master, for his promise of "protecting each other with all our strength", has helped him keep his aura for decades, but Ji Miao never found a chance to ask, Taoist priest, what do you think of my doing?

In those years, not without fatal temptations before him, nor without moments of hesitation.After all, at such a high place, no one can teach him or point him out. If there is no such evil sword hanging behind him in this life, it is really easy for people to lose themselves.

"Master, how do you think this disciple can be a good alliance leader like you?"

"First...you need to find a sharp blade that is unparalleled in the world. Yes, I'm talking about someone like Jiansheng Liao."

"And then? Let him be used by me to fight and kill the enemy for me?"

"No." Ji Miao narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly, "Let him hold the sword as a mirror and be your bottom line."

The plain black robes are interspersed with gentle purple, just like the endless sea of ​​sunny days in this paradise valley.

The falcon with white feathers and brown eyes fell on the shelf, tilting its head to watch the young doctor pick up the pills on the table and stuff them into the small copper letter box.

"Is that... the antidote for Shen Yun's corpse poison?" The sound of steady steps came from behind, and stopped ten steps away from here, and did not move forward.

"You know all about it." Song Ziyu didn't turn his head back, and didn't even stop in his movements, he packed the things, tied the falcon's ankles, and patted it on the back to indicate that it could fly, "Qi Yun deserves to die... What do you want? Kill me to calm the anger of the Haoqi League?"

"Leader Qi is already dead, and it is not what everyone in the Haoqi League cares about right now." Liao Yungui stared at the back of the friend who was very familiar with him and had been with him for several years, feeling that the certainty of familiarity was coming. Gradually, it becomes a sense of strangeness that cannot be guessed or seen clearly.

He never knew that, as free and easy as Song Ziyu, he also had such a secret and such hatred in his heart.

"You helped Shen Yun, of course there is your reason." In the end, Liao Yungui continued slowly, "Shen Jun marched south with thousands of troops just to take Qi Yun's life, and Mrs. Ye did not hesitate to pretend to be crazy for more than ten years to take her life, and she also wanted to kill him." Qi Yun, even You Qi hates him... I have no intention of defending him because of such accusations by a thousand people."

"I only have two questions. First, how much did you help Shen Yun? Second, does Baling County's defeat by the Raider Valley have anything to do with you?"

Song Ziyu's fingers trembled, and some of the tea in the teacup spilled out.

After a long time, he said in a hoarse voice: "Shen Yun...there is only a deal of revenge between us. He gave me the seeds of the blood orchid, and I will help him plant them in Qi Yun's body..."

Then, as if he was choked by something, he opened his mouth several times but did not say the following words.

Liao Yungui didn't urge him, just stood there quietly waiting.

"..." In the end, Song Ziyu let out a sigh of resignation, and admitted, "The news about Baling County... I spread the news."

The air stagnated quietly.

"The maturity of Xue Minglan is approaching, but the progress of Shen Yun's southern expedition is not satisfactory. I have no choice but to help him, so that Evilman Valley can take down Baling and Luodao as soon as possible, and attack Nanping Mountain."

"Li Yan of Luodao is famous for being good at controlling corpses and setting up formations, but as a Gu breeder, he happens to be afraid of the Gu King."

"No one would have thought that Yang Yi would enter the Valley of the Evil by accident and become a Gu King by blood refining; let alone that he has not lost his sanity and is dedicated to supporting Hao Qi for a long-term attack."

"It's just that although Yang Yi has become the Gu King, his situation is extremely unstable, and he has been fighting against the Gu King's power with his own rationality... I adjusted some things and entrusted Youqi to bring them to him to drink, prompting him to release the power of the Gu King ——This was originally a gamble, I never imagined that Yang Yi could really destroy Li Yan's poison formation."

Song Ziyu closed his eyes: "I've lived so far, the only two things I did wrong, and I got retribution...I also admit it."

Liao Yungui frowned, not knowing what to say for a moment.

He could guess that it was Song Ziyu who spread the news of Baling County, but he didn't expect that the other party even counted his wife and brother into it.

That day in Baling County, Song Ziyu tossed the small medicine bottle to Ye Youqi through the air, the thing that was said to be able to "soothe the mind and calm the mind", was delivered to Yang Yi's mouth through Youqi's hands.

That's why Yang Yi completely lost control in the first battle of Luo Dao, forcibly drove the power of Gu King, and finally suffered backlash.

"How do you... how do you want to explain to General Yang?" Liao Yungui said in a low voice, rarely feeling unable to control the anger in his heart, "How do you want to explain to General Yang!"

"No need to explain." Not far from the door of the bamboo house, Yang Zi pushed open the door, his eyes were red, but his voice was cold, "I, Yang Zisheng, am a member of the Haoqi League, and I am also a ghost of the Haoqi League when I die. Living with a betrayer who hurt my friends, my family."

The woman in the Jingchai cloth dress has sharp eyebrows and eyes. Although she has no silver armor and spear, she still has an imposing manner that cannot be underestimated: "I will take Yang Yi back to Chang'an, so I ask Song Sheng to write me a letter of divorce. After that, the two have nothing to do with each other."

Song Ziyu stood up with a sad expression: "I know I can't hide it from you... But there is no room left? I just want to avenge Qi Yuntu Village..."

"Shen Jun rebelled against the Tiance Mansion, stained Fenghua Valley with blood, and kept a low profile for 20 years. Once he came back, he slaughtered the head who participated in the "Kongming Jue" back then, and even attacked Nanping Mountain for revenge. He opposes, but respects him as a man." Yang Zi interrupted Song Ziyu with a loud voice, and said harshly, "Leaving Yungui some time ago, joining the Valley of the Wicked, and meeting us in arms is also for revenge... I also respect him for his determination, no Afraid to take responsibility——As for you, you have been sneaking around all these years, and you want to maintain the superficial peace and warmth to get rid of yourself, and you want to take revenge on your enemies;

These words were so ruthless that they were deafening, and the blood on Song Ziyu's face faded instantly.

"General Yang..." Liao Yungui couldn't bear it, and said, "Ziyu..."

"Yungui." When Yang Zi looked back at Liao Yungui, all the anger on his face was restrained, as if he was still a female general galloping at once, "Qi Yun may have done all kinds of bad things, and he deserves to die, but in order to avenge the death of the deceased How is it any different from an executioner to take revenge on innocent living beings? How is it any different from a coward if a man has to cover up his revenge with many excuses?"

After saying that, she turned her gaze to Song Ziyu again without dodging.

"Song Ziyu, even if you say today that you have defected to Shen Yun long ago, that it was the villain Gu An- who played a deadly game by Qi Yun's side, I will think highly of you."

"It's a pity, you want everything, but you can't bear anything."

The woman turned around and slammed the door of the bamboo house: "In this way, you should get nothing, don't you think so?"
