God does not love the world [unlimited]

The snow fell more and more at night, and the faint sound of chanting sutras in the temple passed through the sky full of Qionghua.

"Is your health okay, sir?"

"Fortunately."

Sheng Yuantang rubbed the edge of the wine jar with his fingertips, and asked, "Then would you like to have a drink with me?"

Shi Yu calmed down and stared at the jar of wine.

Sheng Yuantang's sleeves were rolled up, and he took out a wine glass from which pocket he didn't know, scooped it up from the wine jar, and handed it to him.

Shi Yu took it and drank it in one gulp.

Sheng Yuantang probably didn't expect him to drink so fast, and he was curious to see from the side: "How is your drinking capacity, sir?"

Shi Yu thought for a moment: "I've never been drunk."

He has never been drunk after drinking much, and he doesn't know the upper limit.

Sheng Yuantang picked up the wine jar and refilled his glass: "Why are you going out so late?"

"Then why did you go out?"

"Moon admiring."

"..."

Where does the moon come from in this heavy snow?

Shi Yu finished the wine in the glass before saying: "I heard that you will return to the border after the ceremony."

Sheng Yuantang gave birth to a pair of narrow and long phoenix eyes, and the end of the eyes seemed to have a hook that pierced people's hearts: "What's the problem with me going back to my barracks?"

"It's December now. Since you just returned to the imperial court a few days ago, if the emperor really intends to reward you, he should at least keep you to spend the end of the year with you instead of letting you leave at this time. It takes at least half of the time to go back and forth from the border gate to Chang'an." It's not worth it for you to leave the frontier army for two months and come back and stay for a few days just to get a title."

Shi Yu said: "It was the emperor's hint or order that you returned to the border."

While pouring the wine, Sheng Yuantang did not refute, listening with great interest.

"In the 73rd year of Chengli, you took the opportunity of rescuing Young Master Xiang to make a request to Emperor Cheng, saying that you wanted to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. In the first battle, you were promoted to a personal guard by sacrificing your life to save the commander. Later, you relied on yourself The ability to kill the enemy and use troops, climbed from a small soldier in the army to the position of a general in Dingyuan in five years, and was rewarded with official positions and even thousands of dollars by Emperor Cheng when he returned home. But at this time, the prime minister did the opposite."

"You are a general promoted by the previous emperor. You wear the label of Emperor Cheng on your body, and you hold the power to command tens of thousands of troops at the border. It is impossible for the new emperor not to be afraid of you. In the first year of Xuanli, you are still in the same rank He came out safe and sound after the talk, and he can even be your General Dingyuan in Yuezhou."

Shi Yu drank the wine in the glass, squatted down and sat with him on the bluestone slab, and then a big cloak was thrown on the steps.

He was stunned for a moment, but did not refuse, and continued: "At that time, I thought about what you said to the new emperor to make him feel at ease."

Sheng Yuantang filled the third glass of wine.

Shi Yu said: "Now I can probably guess that during the period from the first year of Xuanli to the third year of Xuanli, every time you were called back, you would not stay for seven days before you had to go back. Is this the condition he gave you at the beginning? "

Sheng Yuantang answered irrelevantly: "Why do you all think this is a condition he put on me?"

Shi Yu: "You?"

Sheng Yuantang raised his hand without answering.

Shi Yu thought of Xiang Yanchao, so he didn't dwell on this issue, and took the wine glass: "Because in theory, the possibility he proposed is greater than your own."

"He never worried about you, but he also considered the power in your hands and the people's support in Dacheng Kingdom during those five years, so he had to find another way." The sweet wine entered his throat, and his voice was stained. Xue in the cup, "He made you stay at the border all the time, just hoping that one day you would die under the hands of the barbarians."

[It's too vicious. 】

[It can be seen from this that the king's heart is really unpredictable. 】

Sheng Yuantang laughed softly: "Sir, you are drunk."

Shi Yu returned the wine glass to him: "Of course, these are my personal speculations, and there is no evidence. So there is another explanation for these things besides this."

"Ok?"

"Why did you let me go three years ago?"

Sheng Yuantang had a half-smile but not a smile: "Sir, you remember wrong."

Shi Yu looked at him for a moment, then lowered his eyes: "Maybe I remembered wrongly."

Speaking of getting up and preparing to leave, someone behind him called: "Sir."

He stopped and looked back.

Sheng Yuantang picked up and folded the cloak that had been spread on the bluestone steps before, and his voice was blown into the pine forest by the wind: "Is the wine good?"

Shi Yu thought for a while: "It's too cold, I can't taste it."

Entering the back door to the front yard, there are faintly flickering lights in the ancient temple, embellishing the night scene.

Someone was kneeling in front of the shrine below the Buddha, writing something with a pen.

Shi Yu didn't look at it, and went straight out of Yuanchan Temple.

The snow on the pine branches rustled down, covering up the sound of footsteps. Suddenly, a cold arrow shot out from the darkness, and the cold arrow pointed directly at his heart.

When Shi Yu turned around, she barely avoided the cold front, raised her head to look in the direction of the arrow, and chased after it without hesitation.

The two shuttled through the forest.

Although the opponent dared to shoot cold arrows, the speed of escape was not fast, and he even staggered with a heavy load.

Shi Yu grabbed his collar from behind and pulled it violently.

The person in front staggered and fell to the ground, the hat on his head fell off, and the terrifying face on the ground was clearly reflected by the light of the lantern.

It's that cheeky guy.

It was also at the moment when its face was illuminated by the light, those huddled faces evaporated rapidly like steam, and the white air exploded and filled the entire forest, and then rushed to various places in Chonglian Mountain as if consciously, leaving the only remaining All the players gathered in.

The vision of several people disappeared at the same time, and after an unknown period of time, the white mist dissipated, and the Chonglian Mountain where they were originally had disappeared.

Shi Yu sat in the cabin with his hands tied behind his back, and four other players sat in front of him.

The cabin was shaking, and the humid water vapor from the river was blowing into the cabin one after another, filling people's breath.

"Everyone came from Chonglian Mountain? Did you see a white mist before coming here?"

Qu Liannian nodded: "I've seen that white mist before, it's very similar to what I saw when that cheeky ghost evaporated."

Xu Xian frowned: "Who saw that ghost just now?"

The others shook their heads one after another. Only Shi Yu, who remained silent from the beginning to the end and was focused by everyone's eyes, replied: "I saw that the white mist just now evaporated because of the ghost I met."

The male player sitting closest to the cabin door was impatient, and as soon as he found the culprit who caused him to come to this kind of place, he couldn't help opening and closing his cheap mouth: "So we came here for no reason and you were responsible of? I fuck your mother..."

Shi Yu didn't listen to him, and interrupted directly: "Didn't you see it yourself?"

"Isn't it a good thing for you to come here now?!"

"Then why only the disappearance of the ghost I met led to this consequence?"

Yan He was stuck for a moment, and when he realized that he was stuck, he became even more annoyed, but the other party said directly: "If you swap me with anyone, the same result will be the same."

"You have seen that ghost vaporization, Xu Xian has seen it, Wu Er has seen it, I guess Qu Liannian also saw it in the first two time nodes-I am more inclined to the second node. Only I have not seen that It looks like all the ghosts have disappeared."

"Since it is a ghost, and it is the only ghost that appeared after the game started, its ability should not be limited to only relying on external objects or direct contact to cause damage to players, it would be too weak, unless it has other abilities In this way, change the way of thinking about the damage it caused before. Throwing darts, assassination, drugging, and pushing are not for the player's death in essence, but just to guide the player to catch up with it. It disappears under the player's gaze."

Shi Yu said: "Now that everyone has guided it successfully, of course we can start collecting the net."

Now that everyone appeared in such a ghostly place after being surrounded by that white mist, no one could escape responsibility.

Yan He was blocked for no reason, and became angry from embarrassment: "Isn't it because you followed suit? Why are you pretending to be an afterthought now?!"

Shi Yu was silent for a few seconds, and there was some genuine confusion in his tone: "Are you trying to say that I shouldn't be the last to be recruited, but earlier?"

"I……"

"Or is it only your abilities that you can be recruited for granted?"

Yan He blushed with anger: "You fucking!"

The next moment, the canvas at the hatch was lifted, and the fat man kicked over with one foot: "What are you yelling about? Be honest!"

Yan He almost spit out from this kick.

The big man didn't care what the mood of the group of slaves on the ship was, and said directly: "Get ready, get off the ship!"

■

Not far from where the boat stopped was a stretch of mountains.

I don't know if the mountain range was forcibly chiseled by props or something else. From a distance, it looked like it was split in two by a thunder from the center, and half of it was broken into slag and scattered on the ground waiting for someone to come.

Going further in, you can see all kinds of people in coarse clothes digging gravel with tools, and the dark passage on the mountain is bottomless at a glance.

The big man led the people to a criss-cross grotto, threw them to the steward and left directly.

The steward had a whip wrapped around his waist, and was turning the abacus with his legs crossed, and the beads were rattling: "Did you see the pile of stones to the west? You are in charge of that one for now, go to work now."

Qu Liannian: "What work?"

The steward didn't even raise his eyelids: "Didn't you see that you came in with Da Biao? How could there be so many people outside who didn't see what they were doing? Dig with a hoe and dig out all the ore sources."

Xu Xian hesitated for a moment before stepping forward: "My lord, we are not here to work."

The steward finally took a look at her: "Why, are you still dreaming about your parents coming to pick you up?"

He turned all the beads on the abacus to one end: "Don't think about it, your parents sold you to me, so there is no reason to go back."

Yan He couldn't hear this tone, he was so high-minded that it seemed that the group of people he was facing were a group of beasts without independent thinking, but he couldn't scold the NPC like he would treat the players if he didn't understand the situation.

But the steward seemed to have one more eye than the others, and his eyes swept over like a knife: "Why, is the bone still hard?"

Yan He quickly lowered his head.

The steward sneered.

The long whip was pulled out violently, making a cracking sound in the air, and slammed it towards his body.

Yan He let out a scream, and was thrown back several meters by the force, before he stopped clutching the blood-oozing welts, his head covered in cold sweat.

The steward put down his calculations and lay down on the chair again: "When I'm under my command, I won't look at you, men, women and children. Now, let me do the work!"
