397, I will never meet again in this life
Tuoba Zan has been locked up for several days, from being furious at first to gradually becoming quiet later, which has a bit of acknowledging his fate. Tuoba Zan has thought of escaping. He has martial arts, subordinates, and identity. As long as he can escape from this place, they will not even think of catching him again. But... he didn't even know where he was locked up. That day, after parting with his ex-senate sister, he was thrown into such a dark room. The whole room was completely unblocked, and there was not even a window. At first, Tuoba Zan suspected that they wanted to suffocate him. But he didn't feel like he was holding his breath. Every day, someone brought food in through a small hole by the wall. But even taking the opportunity to deliver food through the small hole, he still saw a darkness. He suspected that he was locked in some unknown secret room.
Tuoba Zan was a little angry and a little depressed, feeling that the plan that had been exhausted before was definitely not done. After so many days, I don’t know what it was like outside. Thinking that his hard-working plan was destroyed and the big tree of Tuoba Xingye was lost, Tuoba Zan was so angry that he wanted to kill people. At the same time, he felt a little envious, jealous and hatred in his heart. He thought that his senior sister, who was a disciple of Tuoba Xingye, was just forced to do anything due to circumstances or simply had ulterior motives. She was really so good to Tuoba Xingye without coming first! She wasn’t afraid that Tianqi’s court officials would be dissatisfied with her? She didn’t see how good she was to him, the junior brother!
The door outside creaked and was pushed open. Chu Ling stood at the door of the cell with a calm look at him. Tuoba Zan gritted his teeth, "You are finally here!" Chu Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, "What? I miss me very much? We have the current identity, aren't you afraid that I will come to kill you?" Tuoba Zan snorted coldly, "You kill, it's all in your hands anyway, and you have the final say to kill or cut?" Chu Ling shrugged, too lazy to talk to him, "Come out." People are close and distant, Chu Ling's heart
The recognition is open and upright. Compared with Tuoba Xingye, the junior brother of Tuoba Zan is not that important in her heart. Just like, compared with those who are struggling with her, those of the Clan who have friendship with her are not that important. She has no desire to be fully qualified, and is not ruthless, but she understands the choice she should make. If she blindly thinks that she can be harmonious in the world and relies on the so-called friendship, love and family affection to turn all the people of the world into jade, wouldn’t it be crazy?
Tuoba Zan was not afraid that she would be unfavorable to her, so she raised her eyebrows and walked out seriously.
When he left the room, he realized that he was not locked in an underground secret room. But because there was a wall at the entrance to delivering food, and the place where he lived was just an inconspicuous room in a large mansion. This was a typical Apocalypse village, which was stacked and winding. Even though Tuoba Zan grew up in the palace, he would get lost occasionally in the place. He hated such a house. Tuoba Zan would leave the customs every year, so although he lived in Shangjing most of his life, he felt that he actually liked outside the pass. Unfortunately, there was no beautiful country and rich fertile land outside the pass.
Chu Ling walked in front, walked through a corridor and then passed through several rooms before he came to a place that looked like a flower hall. Tuoba Zan followed Chu Ling and looked around, feeling disappointed to find that Chu Ling took him in the room all the way. All the windows were locked, not to mention looking at the scenery outside, he couldn't even tell whether it was day or night.
Chu Ling occupied the steps outside the flower hall. Tuoba Zan looked up and saw Jun Wuhuan sitting aside. His eyes couldn't help but shrink. Of course, he remembered this person. Although he dressed differently, he naturally would not forget that day after suffering such a big loss in Jun Wuhuan's hands. Originally, he thought he had the guidance of two masters Tuoba Xingye and Jiankun. Even if his martial arts skills were not as good as Chu Ling, he should not be much worse, but he did not expect that he had almost no ability to resist under Jun Wuhuan.
Tuoba Zan forgot that Chu Ling's strength today was not just because of Tuoba Xingye's teachings. But the fact that he almost continuously challenged masters to temper himself in the past two years also accounted for most of the reason. Chu Ling's practical experience was definitely beyond the reach of his prince, a famous martial arts prince. Tuoba Zan has only practiced martial arts secretly in the past few years, and realized that he was extraordinary in the future, but in fact, it is hard to say what it is. So, it is not enough to work behind closed doors.
"Someone wants to see you, go in." Chu Ling pointed to the flower hall and said.
Tuoba Zan frowned blankly, obviously not very clear who would be waiting to see him in this place at this time. Seeing that he didn't move, Chu Ling directly reached out and pushed him in, "Don't be afraid, you can't die."
“…”
Chu Ling did not go in to participate in this former master-apprentice meeting, but walked to Jun Wuhuan and sat down. Jun Wuhuan looked at her with a steady look and did not speak. Chu Ling suddenly felt a little guilty. He looked up at Jun Wuhuan, and he was just in time to look in. He was stunned. Jun Wuhuan sighed lightly, put down the teacup in his hand and said, "A Ling is willing to talk about what is going on tonight?" Chu Ling lamented in his heart, and he couldn't escape. So he said tonight from beginning to end. Anyway, no matter whether she said or not, Jun Wuhuan could still find out if she wanted to know. I'm afraid she would be even more unhappy at that time.
Despite this, Chu Ling still remembers to say a few good things for Zhu Yaohong, "She has no choice, and I really have nothing to do, so don't be angry."
Jun Wuhuan frowned slightly and said, "It's okay? If the people in the underworld see the flaws, will Ah Ling be sure to leave the palace smoothly?"
Chu Ling was speechless. Of course, she would not be afraid of the people in the underworld if they took action alone. But the problem is that those people never knew what fighting alone was. Every time they attacked, they would rush up. If they really saw it through, it would be a little troublesome. After blinking, Chu Ling smiled and said, "It should be... OK, right?" Jun Wuhuan looked at her with a smile and said, "A Ling is kind." Chu Ling was helpless and took Jun Wuhuan's hand and said, "Although this matter was proposed by her, I agreed by myself. She did not force me to plot against me, nor did she do it directly without hiding it from me. And..."
Jun Wuhuan shook his head and said, "I understand what A Ling means, don't worry that I won't do anything to her."
Chu Ling then breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, this time things went smoothly, and I also let out a sigh of relief!" Thinking of Tuoba Liang's miserable situation, Chu Ling felt very comfortable. I guess Tuoba Liang would not have made things difficult for her at least before the birthday party, and even the morning court might not be able to attend. After all, the emperor was shameless. Looking at her strange and gloating smile on her face, Jun Wuhuan also knew that A Ling was probably doing something not very good to Tuoba Liang. But he didn't care what Tuoba Liang was like, as long as A Ling was fine.
Tuoba Xingye and Tuoba Zan took a lot of time to meet. Chu Ling and Jun Wuhuan glared for nearly an hour before they saw Tuoba Zan coming out dejectedly. They looked up at Chu Ling and Jun Wuhuan. Although they didn't say anything, Chu Ling could also feel his anger and frustration. Chu Ling raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at him and said, "You can leave in another day." By then, the master has also left Shangjing. As long as the master leaves Shangjing, Chu Ling believes that it is unlikely for anyone to catch him.
Tuoba Zan sneered and said, "Princess Shenyou is really powerful. She will destroy a famous general from the Northern Jin Dynasty without doing anything."
Chu Ling was a little confused, wondering where Tuoba Zan's resentment came from, "Even if I don't do anything, you will ruin him. Don't tell me, even if the master stays in Shangjing, there will be a chance to kill the enemy. Since that's the case, what's the difference between him leaving and being killed by you? Azan, I don't want to care why you have become like this now, but... for the sake of his teachings, be a person?"
Tuoba Zan glared at Chu Ling angrily and said, "I'm not a beast! I didn't want to kill him!"
Chu Ling nodded and said, "Yes, you just want to use him to exchange interests with Tuoba Liang. The best result is that he can hand over the military power in his hand to you." Before he finished speaking, he saw a trace of ruthlessness flashing in Tuoba Zan's eyes. If it weren't for his repeated temptations, Tuoba Xingye would not be willing to hand over the military power to him, why would he have to cooperate with Tuoba Liang? Did she think it would be comfortable to cooperate with an old fox like Tuoba Liang?
If it were his personal disciple... If Qu Sheng was not Princess Tianqi but an ordinary member of the tribe, even a woman would be afraid that Tuoba Xingye would hand over the military power to her without hesitation? After all, he just looked down on him. When did Tuoba Xingye regard him as his disciple? Thinking of his repeated pleas in it, Tuoba Xingye was still unmoved. Thinking about how many rumors Tuoba Xingye had received before because of Qu Sheng, but he was still as always with this disciple. Tuoba Zan didn't think there was any problem with his current actions.
Just looking at his expression, Chu Ling knew what Tuoba Zan was thinking. After a while of silence, he felt that he had nothing to say. He waved his hand in a state of turmoil and said, "Forget it, since the master is leaving, I promised him to let you go, and in the future... you can do it yourself." They are hostile, and even Chu Ling and Tuoba Zan have a grudge to kill their father. It would be ridiculous if they talk about the friendship between senior and sister. "Come on, take him back. Let him go twenty-four hours later."
Two men in gray clothes walked out of the room on the other side, pulling Tuoba Zan back one left and one right, "Yes, princess."
Tuoba Zan was pulled to the door, and suddenly looked back at Chu Ling and said, "Senior Sister, do you not believe that I can accomplish anything big?" Chu Ling frowned slightly and asked, "What kind of thing is considered a big thing in your heart?" Tuoba Zan smiled and said, "Probably... like Tuoba Liang?" Chu Ling was silent. She wanted to say that if you wanted to imitate Tuoba Liang, then you might not be able to do it.
"Azan, power may sometimes be not as interesting as you think. Do you think... are you happier now than when you were a prince?" Chu Ling asked.
Tuoba Zan's face changed slightly and she remained silent.
Chu Ling said: "It's not a mistake to gain power. What's really scary is that he turned himself into a lonely man for the sake of power. Even if Tuoba Luo's legs are disabled, he still has a brother who will never leave him. Have you ever thought, if one day you are in trouble, what do you have? Ahn, I just had a few days in the capital and didn't even know that you were missing. Because... no old friend told me about you."
After a while, Tuoba Zan sneered and said, "I don't care! Don't want me to be a follower behind Tuoba Luo and Tuoba Yin."
Chu Ling stopped talking, and Tuoba Zan didn't want to say anything anymore and turned around and walked out on his own initiative.
The room was silent, and I haven't seen anyone talking for a long time.
Tuoba Luo has been taking care of Tuoba Zan for many years, but he must have had more feelings. After all, if Tuoba Zan had not been suddenly stuffed to Tuoba Xingye by the late emperor, and then he would have obtained the hidden power of the late emperor by chance, Tuoba Zan was really useless to Tuoba Luo. As for Tuoba Yin, even if it was really useful, it would not be an easy thing to make him deliberately treat someone for those things.
Jun Wuhuan comforted and patted Chu Ling's back and said, "Don't think too much. Since he is in the royal family, it is natural to go up." But many people don't have the chance. Tuoba Zan suddenly had the opportunity to fall from the sky and would inevitably do something that ordinary people can't understand. He is still too young and no one around him, so Jun Wuhuan doesn't feel strange now.
Chu Ling nodded and said, "That's it."
After that, the two sent Tuoba Xingye out of the city together. When they left the city, Tuoba Xingye looked a little sad, and obviously they were not in a good mood. After years of hard work and dedication, the result was the result of returning sadly. No matter who was in a bad mood, he would not be very happy. The only thing he had to be grateful for was that the one who attacked Tuoba Xingye was not the ancestor but Tuoba Liang. This pair of monarchs and ministers could be considered a good start and ending.
On a small road outside the city leading to the outside of the pass, Chu Ling handed a package to Tuoba Xingye, and along with it were the weapons that Tuoba Xingye used.
"Master, take care of yourself." Chu Ling said softly.
Tuoba Xingye took it and looked at Chu Ling and said in a deep voice: "No need to do this, I'm going outside the pass, and everything I want to do is come true." His life's pursuit has never changed. He has been striving to pursue the peak of martial arts since he was a teenager. This career of a famous general is more like an accident. Tuoba Xingye never seeks fame and is actually a delay for him. His best age is spent on the battlefield. If he is used to pursue martial arts, he might have reached the pinnacle and created a unique new world.
"It's you..." Tuoba Xingye said: "The road ahead is bumpy, I just hope that you and my master and disciple will never meet again in this life."
Listening to his low voice, Chu Ling's eyes turned red, and a line of tears finally slipped down her eyes. Jun Wuhuan stood not far away and watched this scene, her eyes flashed slightly but she didn't come over and just looked silently. Chu Ling naturally understood what the master meant by not meeting again in this life. If he met again... he must be on the battlefield. Moreover, they must be on the opposite side. Her master was a member of the tribe after all.
Since Tuoba Xingye made a vow to no longer enter the pass, he would not easily ruin his promise. If one day Tuoba Xingye entered the pass, he would definitely come with the will of death. At that time, it would be time for the Clan to truly face life and death.
"Master, sorry." Chu Ling lowered his eyes and said softly.
Tuoba Xingye smiled freely and easily, and the middle-aged man who was determined and heroic but had some traces of time, seemed to have a little more free and arrogant like a person outsider. It was completely different from the majesty of the first general of the Clan who was once in Shangjing. Tuoba Xingye reached out and patted Chu Ling's head gently, as if comforting a young daughter who was crying and acting cute. "Although you cannot inherit my mantle, being able to accept Princess Shenyou as your disciple must be the greatest achievement in my life."
Chu Ling couldn't help but burst into tears and laughed, "Being able to become a disciple of Tuoba Xingye is also my greatest pride in my life."
The two looked at each other and smiled. Everything that had been blocked between the master and the disciple seemed to disappear in an instant.
"Master, take care of yourself." Chu Ling stepped forward and reached out to hug Tuoba Xingye.
Tuoba Xingye raised his hand and patted her vest and said, "Go back, don't send me it again." After that, he turned around and walked towards the horse parked by the road.
However, after walking a few steps, Tuoba Xingye stopped. Because at some point, there was a person standing on the hillside at the end of the road.
The man was slender and upright, with a handsome face but a faint expression. The night before dawn was still dark, but the sword in his hand was still shining brightly.
"General Tuoba, are you going to leave now?" he said lightly.
Tuoba Xingye glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "Young man, get out of the way." Tuoba Xingye was not in a hurry, and he didn't even draw his sword. Although the person who came was a top master, it was not a threat to Tuoba Xingye. In other words, if he fought alone, there would be almost no one in the world who could really threaten Tuoba Xingye's life. Jun Wuhuan might be one, but he was still young and had hidden dangers and had little chance of victory.
The other party was not in a hurry, "I am indeed not a match for the general, but it must be a problem to drag it out for a while."
Before Tuoba Xingye could speak, a figure flashed in front of him, and Jun Wuhuan had already fallen between the two. Jun Wuhuan turned his head slightly and said, "Senior Tuoba, you go first, take care of yourself."
Tuoba Xingye looked at Jun Wuhuan, and didn't say much, but walked forward seriously. He walked neither fast nor slow, and seemed to be in a hurry to rush. The person on the hillside snorted coldly, and the sword in his hand cut through the night and stabbed him in a fierce and sharp way. The next moment, he felt the cold wind blowing on his side, and he immediately avoided it, and a long sword had already stabbed him. The two of them quickly passed ten moves before pushing them away. In this moment, Tuoba Xingye had already sat on the horse parked by the roadside, and there was only a gradually distant back left.
Chu Ling did not go to see Jun Wuhuan and the man, and looked at Tuoba Xingye's back as he walked away.
"Master, take care of yourself."
Chapter completed!
