Chapter 228 Sacrifice(1/2)
Meeting an old friend in a foreign land, meeting a fellow villager, but there are no tears, only murderous intent.
Although as a rookie, Xu Yuan is still unaware of the existence of surprise, his eyes that want to kill someone cannot be concealed.
Their eyes intertwined in the wind and snow.
Xu Yuan chuckled lightly, patted Zhou Chen on the shoulder and said:
"Mr. Zhou, don't be nervous, I'm an acquaintance."
After finishing speaking, Zhou Chen took back the hand holding the sword, but still looked at the woman in the distance warily.
Hearing this familiar voice, Xu Mengxi's voice was filled with chills and a faint hint of disbelief:
"Xu Changtian?"
Xu Yuan walked slowly to Xu Mengxi, his long hair flying in the wind and snow night, and his smile warm:
"Why, you could recognize me instantly after not seeing each other for two years, and now you don't recognize me after only a few months apart?"
"."
Xu Mengxi said nothing, staring at Xu Yuan and holding down the saber hanging on his waist.
Although the identity of the other party has been confirmed, she can't imagine how this dude, with his superior status, could come to this dangerous city at this time?
Glancing at her hand holding the knife, Xu Yuanxiao:
"What are you doing with the knife? Did you kill Hongyan? You killed the dandy in Lingshui Palace and you want to kill me too?"
As he spoke, Xu Yuan raised his chin with a smile and exposed part of his neck:
"If you want to, then come. Anyway, Beifeng City is now in danger of chaos. With your cultivation level, it should be easy to kill my fifth-level soul condensation."
Xu Mengxi clenched the handle of the knife in her hand, her eyes slightly cold but did not move.
Xu Yuanrao looked at the other person up and down with interest and sneered:
"I thought you would kill me just like you killed the chief dandy of Lingshui Palace. It seems you still know the difference."
There are also differences among top dudes.
Xu Mengxi frowned and word by word:
"Xu Changtian, there is no difference between you and Yue Huanbin."
"The difference is huge."
Xu Yuan shook his head and said slowly: "Killing that so-called Yue Huanbin is considered meritorious. The emperor and my father will reward you afterwards, but if you kill me."
Saying that, Xu Yuan raised his finger and pointed at himself:
"You, your master, your master's family, and your relatives and friends all have to be buried with me."
Xu Mengxi's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and her hand holding the knife tightened:
"What your Prime Minister did in Beifeng City is enough to kill you a thousand times according to the laws of Great Yan."
Xu Yuan chuckled when he heard this:
"Look at what you said, the laws of Great Flame were made by my father and others, as if our prime minister's office is some kind of villain."
Said,
Xu Yuan smiled:
"After so many years, Meng Xi, you have matured a lot now. You should be very clear that if we don't do those things, the sect will still do it. One will go down and the other will go up, then we will be waiting for the sect to be killed.
."
Xu Mengxi took a deep breath, opened Xu Yuan's hand, and exhaled a breath of white mist in the wind and snow:
"Fallacies and sophistry are just the same thing."
Xu Yuan smiled and did not refute. He raised his hand and patted Xu Mengxi's shoulder, then walked past her towards the meeting hall:
"Whatever you say, the ideal world can only exist in the ideal. I admire you and hope you can always stick to your original intention."
After walking a few steps, Xu Yuan paused and suddenly smiled:
"Also, let me advise you again, it is easy to break if it is too strong."
Xu Mengxi suddenly became furious when he heard this, turned around, looked at his back in the wind and snow, and held the handle of the knife with a creaking sound:
"Xu Changtian, what do you mean?"
Xu Yuan looked back with a smile:
"What do you mean by me? If it weren't for this natural disaster and blizzard, based on your previous actions in Beifeng City, you would have committed suicide by now."
"."
After finishing speaking, Xu Mengxi was quiet and paused for a few breaths. Her whole delicate body was shaking with anger, but she was speechless.
Because what this dude Xu Yuan said is true.
She went out of the city to seize smuggled arms, but when she arrived at the location, she was ambushed by three unknown Grand Masters. If she hadn't escaped quickly, she would be dead by now.
Xu Yuan looked at her expression and said with a smile:
"You did a good job in killing Yue Huanbin.
"Although I despise him, it is undeniable that his status is indeed very high. He is the only son of the great elder of Lingshui Palace. If you don't take advantage of the barbarian attack on the city, you will most likely be buried with him if you kill him."
Said,
Xu Yuan's eyes softened and he said softly:
"Don't you always want to settle accounts with me? Before you are qualified to settle accounts with me, you'd better know how to protect yourself. Only when you are alive can you climb up and do more things."
"."
The words fell and there was silence.
Xu Yuan shook his head with a smile, turned around and left without saying anything.
Xu Mengxi looked at his back with long hair flying in the snowy night, gritted his teeth and shouted:
"Xu Changtian, what qualifications does a person like you have to say such words here?"
She couldn't accept it.
I cannot accept that this evil-doing dandy could say such words.
Xu Yuan did not respond or look back. He waved his hand and disappeared from the entrance of the meeting hall, leaving Xu Mengxi alone in a daze in the wind and snow.
After entering the meeting hall, the scene inside was almost the same as what Xu Yuan had imagined.
The main hall was empty, and Li Zhaoyuan sat alone at the front desk, handling military affairs such as logistics, writing quickly with the wolf-brush pen at his fingertips.
Seeing Xu Yuan come in, Li Zhaoyuan raised his eyebrows, immediately put down the pen in his hand and stood up to greet him, smiling:
"Third Young Master didn't stay outside for the night?"
Xu Yuan looked at the other party's expression:
"The war has begun. It's too chaotic outside. The government office is still safe, but how did you know that I went out with Li Yunqing?"
Li Zhaoyuan did not hide anything, he was straightforward:
"The imperial sister has entrusted the affairs of the government office to me, so I naturally know that the Third Young Master and Yun Qing are out together."
Xu Yuan stared at the second prince for a few seconds and suddenly asked:
"Your Highness, aren't you curious about what Li Yunqing and I were talking about?"
There was a smile on Li Zhaoyuan's sharp-browed and starry face:
"Curious? Why are you curious? Junqing is looking for the Third Young Master just because you want to find a way out of the city. Other than that, there are other things that Yun Qing can discuss with the Third Young Master."
Speaking of which,
Li Zhaoyuan suddenly paused, stared at Xu Yuan and said with a meaningful smile:
"There should be only the waiters from Beifeng, right?"
Xu Yuan took a deep look at the second prince and sighed:
"You know Li Yunqing well."
"The third young master returned alone. It seems that the agreement has been reached."
As they talked, the two walked towards the table in the main hall. Li Zhaoyuan sighed and shook his head: "Yunqing has been like this since he was a child. He always doubted what my elder brother would do to him."
"Did you suppress Xu Mengxi's murder of the handsome man from Lingshui Palace?" Xu Yuan abruptly interrupted Li Zhaoyuan's words.
"."
The span of the topic was a bit wide, but Li Zhaoyuan quickly adjusted his thoughts and nodded in response:
"Yes, Lingshui Palace was too reckless in the war in the north. My father and Duke Xu are very dissatisfied. They need to be taught a lesson."
Xu Yuan pondered for a moment and suddenly smiled:
"With such support, Your Highness, you won't worry about retaliation from the Northern Sect in the future?"
