Narcissus Self-Saving System

Did Xi Nan ask the guards to invite the matchmaker in?

He used the excuse that he wanted to discuss these private matters with the matchmaker alone, so he entertained her in the front hall alone, shunning everyone.

After Xi Nan closed the door, Matchmaker Wang took off the human, skin, and mask from her face, and it turned out to be Wang Yanran.

Wang Yanran looked at Xi Nan and said, "I came here with the caravan. The two countries are now at war, and only a small number of caravans are allowed to pass through each month, and the inspection process is complicated. I don't have much time to stay."

Xi Nan asked her: "Xue Zhuang asked you to come? Did he say anything to me?"

Wang Yanran did not answer this question in a hurry, but asked Xi Nan: "When I was in the palace, I saw plum blossoms. I was so excited that I forgot that Xue Zhuang was only 17 years old at that time. Now that I think about it, he is not the one I counted. The person I met years ago. So... is that person you?"

Xi Nan shook his head: "It's really not me. What happened to Xue Zhuang?"

Only then did Wang Yanran sit down and said, "I'm the one who came to see you. He didn't ask me to bring you a message. I came here to tell you...he's changed completely, and he's become terrifying."

Xi Nan immediately became serious. "Tell me about it in detail."

"Since Xue Qiuyun's death, Chang Ying's betrayal, and you returned to Zhu Guanyu to save him, something is wrong with him. Maybe I did something wrong. He was already resentful, but I told him again One thing stimulated him even more."

Wang Yanran sighed, "The Empress Dowager's aunt told me about this before. I don't know what Zhu Guanyu thinks now. But he really liked Xue Zhuang before. He even talked to Xue Zhuang's mother. But Xue's mother refused the matter, and she persuaded Zhu Guanyu, saying that he was still young and didn't understand these things. Xue's mother then went to the queen mother's aunt, told her about this matter, and asked her to correct Zhu Guanyu, he He is the one who wants to be the emperor, don't let him go astray."

Hearing this, Xi Nan already had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Wang Yanran continued: "Aunt the Empress Dowager found Zhu Guanyu at that time and told him about it. Zhu Guanyu didn't know if he wanted to remove the obstacle between him and Xue Zhuang in advance, or he felt that Xue's mother had revealed his secret. In short, he found someone to poison Xue's mother, and others thought she died of a heart attack. At that time, Zhu Guanyu was only a teenager, and he had such a vicious heart... It was really scary."

"So... after you told Xue Zhuang about this, he hated Zhu Guanyu." Xi Nan frowned.

"Yes. When I was fighting with my father, Xue Zhuang slapped my father on the sidelines, and my father swore he didn't kill Xue Wu. So, now Xue Zhuang thinks that his father died at the hands of Zhu Guanyu."

Wang Yanran continued, "Xue Zhuang's parents, uncle, and cousin all died because of Zhu Guanyu. Now you are in Zhu Guanyu's hands... Anyway, after I told him about it that day, although he didn't say What, but seeing him again after a month, he has completely changed."

"When I see him now, my back feels numb, and I feel that he came from hell to seduce people's souls. His sword is getting more and more wrong, and it often emits black gas. Once, I still had the courage to find him I said, I couldn’t send the Raven Nine Sword to the temple at that time, should I find an opportunity to send it away now. But he refused. He said... this sword can help him win the world and kill Zhu Guanyu.”

After Wang Yanran said this, Xi Nan was silent for a long time, and asked her: "Is there anything else besides this? He..."

—Did he not mention me?

Wang Yanran shook her head. "I have money, and I bought a house by myself, but I settled down in Lan. He is already the emperor, and he occasionally sends people to check on my recent situation. I rarely have the opportunity to see him. That's probably all. I don't know anything else. Know."

Xi Nan nodded: "I see."

Wang Yanran continued: "Anyway, I want to tell you that he might start a war against Xia Kingdom someday. But if that happens, the Xia Kingdom will be completely divided, and if the foreign enemies from the north and east take advantage of the gap again, the common people will It will be a disaster. The Xia Kingdom is over, and Xue Zhuang’s new Great Zhou can’t stand alone. But Xue Zhuang’s temperament has changed a lot now, even if you go, I don’t know if you can persuade him.”

"I know what's in my heart. I'm sorry to trouble you." Xi Nan said.

Wang Yanran asked: "Then I will leave. I may have a chance to meet him when I return to Lanque. Do you have anything to say that I want to convey?"

Xi Nan thought for a long time, and finally only said: "Tell him that everything is fine and I haven't been bullied, so he can rest assured. And... please take care of yourself."

"Okay. I'll make a note." Wang Yanran stood up, nodded to Xi Nan, and put on the human-skin-mask again.

Xi Nan walked her all the way to the gate of the mansion.

Before getting into the carriage, Wang Yanran glanced at Xi Nan again, and there seemed to be a thousand words in her eyes.

Xi Nan knew what else she wanted to ask.But Xi Nan couldn't give her any response, so he had to completely cut off her thoughts. "Sorry. I hope you will look forward."

Wang Yanran's expression darkened, but she didn't say much, she just sighed, "Thank you for telling the truth. Although it was a bit cruel, it can be regarded as completely breaking my mind. The matter has come to this point, and I admit it."

After saying that, Wang Yanran got into the carriage and gradually disappeared from Xi Nan's sight.

When the surrounding guards saw it, they thought it was the matchmaker who was completely rejected, but they didn't suspect anything else.

After listening to their discussion, Xi Nan turned around and went back to the room, sighing again and again.

Xi Nan: "Tong, you said Xue Zhuang...is he..."

System: "Did he become emperor just for you? It's also for you, he wants to conquer the remaining rivers and lands of Xia Kingdom."

Xi Nan: "What are you talking about? I'm not Su Daji. Can I still be the cause of the subjugation of the country?"

System: "Do you think he's just out for revenge?"

Xi Nan sighed: "You heard what Wang Yanran said. Xue Zhuang didn't mention me much. I'm afraid he has forgotten me."

System: "Your tone sounds a bit regretful, sad? Lost?"

Xi Nan didn't say a word, and after a while he said, "Is he blaming me?"

System: "How to say?"

Xi Nan: "I made my own decision at the beginning. According to him, he still loved me at that time. A man who can't even protect the one he loves, and has to rely on his sacrifice to save himself, he must think that this is A trampling on his self-esteem. At the same time, he was overwhelmed with guilt. He didn't think he was strong enough."

Xi Nan closed his eyes and let out a long sigh: "He will definitely blame himself very much. He blamed himself for being too concerned about his old feelings for Zhu's family, making him look forward and backward, and let Zhu Guanyu go so far. Similarly, he blamed himself for his old feelings for Chang Ying. Because Changying saved him, so even though he was wavering, he finally chose to believe in Changying. Unexpectedly, because she fell into a trap, she not only harmed my sister, but also harmed me. So..."

"So now he forces himself to be unfeeling and cut off love, not to repeat the same mistakes. So he forces himself to become stronger, to sit in a high position and rule the world. Only then, with great power, he will never have anything he asks for. No more coercion."

Xi Nan narrowed his eyes. "It was all forced by Zhu Guanyu. Zhu Guanyu forced him into a...a ruthless king just like him."

System: "Sure enough, I am the person who knows me best."

Xi Nan: "Is he really not blackened?"

System: "The system didn't judge that your mission failed, so it doesn't count. Maybe he has signs of blackening, but there is still room for recovery."

After hearing this, Xi Nan nodded.

The system hesitated for a moment, then said, "That...Xiao Nannan..."

Xi Nan: "Huh? What?"

System: "What if Xue Zhuang is really completely blackened? The kind that wants to wash the world with blood."

Xi Nan said casually: "I can't kill him, so what should I do?"

System: "What if I say...you can?"

Xi Nan: "What do you mean?"

System: "As I said before, the incarnation of Xue Zhuang has a mission in this world, so you can't kill him. Otherwise, it will affect the completion of his mission, and then affect the fate of your body. But it can be changed. You can Kill him, replace him, and complete the mission for him, which is also considered as helping him complete his destiny. It is equivalent to completing your own mission and completing his mission for Xue Zhuang."

Xi Nan only asked, "You really don't know what happened to the Raven Nine Sword?"

System: "I don't know. I can't find any information about it here."

Xi Nan: "Xue Zhuang is a man with a firm mind. Even if his temperament changes drastically, I don't believe he will wash the world with blood. Unless that sword is some kind of monster that affects his mind. If things really go as far as you said..."

System: "If you really get to that point, will you kill him?"

Xi Nan didn't answer the system's words, and it took him a long time to say: "I just want to hug him. He is. He's still a child. It's all the world's fault. He's not at fault."

System: "...Still in the mood to be shrewd? The world is wronged."

Xi Nan: "Because I really don't know how to answer. Let me think about it."

Two years later, just as Wang Yanran said, the founding emperor of the Zhou Kingdom, Zhou Chengdi Xue Zhuang, drove his troops to the south and attacked the Xia Kingdom.

Under the leadership of Emperor Zhou Cheng, the Black Feather Army and the Fei Yu Army captured cities like a broken bamboo.

The blood flowed on the oar, and the corpse was shrouded in horse leather.

When everyone talked about Emperor Zhou Cheng, they all panicked.

He is like a ghost general who came to the world to ask for his life. He is invincible, and he is also ruthless. He is merciless in the face of his compatriots of the same race in the past.

In the public opinion on Xia's side, Zhou Chengdi has become a terrible invader.

On this day, Emperor Zhou Cheng led his troops to capture Huaicheng, and took the lives of the entire Huaicheng people as hostages to demand Zhu Guanyu's surrender.

Emperor Zhou Cheng said that he only gave Zhu Guanyu ten days to think about it.

After ten days, he will massacre the city.

Naturally, Xi Nan heard about this matter.

Above the court, everyone was talking about it, but it was difficult to come up with a good plan.

At that time, Emperor Zhou Cheng seemed to be no longer a human being. He could not die from multiple injuries, and he could continue to fight, and finally he would deal with counter-killing.

There have been no wars in the Jiangnan area for many years, and a group of strong and strong soldiers have been raised, many of whom are very skilled in martial arts.

But no matter who went, they all died under Zhou Chengdi's sword.

Everyone discussed it, but there was no good plan.

In the end, Zhu Guanyu left Xi Nan alone and summoned him to the Central Palace.

Zhu Guanyu looked at Xi Nan and said, "Three years have passed, are you still angry with me?"

Xi Nan: "Ask me to talk about this? It's not necessary. We don't know each other well. It's not necessary to be angry."

Zhu Guanyu asked again: "I have often sent things to your house these years, and you have accepted them all. Thinking about it, you should calm down. Why, do you still like it?"

Xi Nan: "Oh? Are those things for me? In order to please me? I'm sorry, I would get it wrong, thinking that you gave it to the guards in my house. After all, they are all yours. I put the things It's all given to them."

Zhu Guanyu was silent for a moment, his face turned pale, but he didn't seem to care.

He stared into Xi Nan's eyes and said only: "Three years ago, you asked me why I did all this. I can tell you now."

Xi Nan nodded: "Okay. Tell me."

Zhu Guanyu said: "I want you to kill Xue Zhuang. You must kill him. In this world, only you can kill him and end all this."
