Fish swimming around the world

Goudao pondered for a moment: "There is something I have never asked you. Why do you have to shoulder this huge responsibility?"

The empress smiled: "Don't you always have to carry it on someone's shoulders?"

Goudao's eyes moved, but he did not ask further questions. He just smiled and said, "Since you want to, I will accompany you to have a look."

The empress turned and looked at him: "Lao Dao, false father, you seem to be able to understand not only the meridians today, but also the state of mind."

Goudao said calmly: "Facing such a regent, what else can I worry about?"

"So, you always like Jiang Xianyue so much today?"

Gou Dao thought for a while, but shook his head: "It's strange to say that I do have an unusual closeness to that girl, maybe because of the crescent moon on her forehead."

The empress chuckled: "Perhaps, because of her straightforward nature."

"Haha, no matter what the reason is, it's fate."

The empress said seriously: "I am really happy today."

Goudao said slowly: "Or...you have already seen my thoughts?"

The empress did not deny it: "Actually, I did not leave the palace thirteen days ago."

When she said this, Gou Dao seemed to understand.

"So, His Majesty has been waiting for an opportunity?"

The empress nodded: "Until that day, I saw him looking for Xixi, and I saw Xixi entering Zhengyang Palace, and I also saw... the look in your eyes."

She stared at Goudao: "There is murderous intent, but this murderous intent has other intentions."

Goudao finally nodded: "So, you understand, I want to take advantage of it."

The empress said: "Although the formation was blocked by an accident, you can activate it faster if you are in charge of the formation. You are waiting."

Gou Dao sighed slightly: "I still can't hide it from you. Yes, I am waiting for the regent. I have been thinking about this since Gao Jian's death. I have been thinking about it for a long time, but I am very confused. But that day, I suddenly felt that this accident might happen It's God's will. In this case, it's better to... Well, actually, I should have a good talk with you, and I almost ruined the big thing. "

The empress hummed: "Fortunately, you finally let go. At that moment, I felt that you were not as decisive as you imagined."

Goudao did not answer, but looked up at the moon in the sky: "Sometimes I also wonder why the moon of Qin is so bright... I haven't seen it for many years since the Four Kingdoms conquered Qin. Unfortunately, I live in seclusion. Gong, with his withdrawn and cold personality, has really never investigated the causes of everything."

The empress was silent for a moment and then said: "Lao Dao, remember that day I told you that there are three reasons not to kill Jiang Fan. In fact, there is one more. And this, I'm afraid, is related to the survival of the world."

Goudao was startled and his eyes narrowed: "Your Majesty... could it be... that is the long night in your heart?"

The empress nodded slowly: "There is no freedom in this world."

Goudao stared at her seriously: "Can you let me know?"

The empress shook her head: "The time has not come yet. Although Dao Lao has lived in the deep palace for a long time, he has cultivated a profound knowledge and has three thousand internal servants as his eyes and ears. I am afraid he is aware of certain things, but it has a great relationship. I am , we haven’t figured it out yet, let’s wait a little longer…”

After a long time, Gou Dao breathed out softly, "That's fine. Now, I can afford to wait..."

The empress turned and walked towards the palace, saying as she walked: "It's just in time to go to Lishan to see the new disciples."

Gou Dao chuckled: "Of course I want to go, and I want to take a good look at Lishan Mountain and see the real world in the hearts of the Regent and His Majesty."

The New Year is about family reunion, which is Mr. Jiang's obsession.

On the first day of this new year, Jiang Fan got good news and Lu Hanting woke up.

Jiang Fan was very happy when he saw Lu Hanting, who had a thin face but was in good spirits.

"Old Lu, I heard that you can finally use Elder Wuhen's most powerful killing move?"

Lu Hanting still maintained the calmness of a killer, and said seriously: "Not yet, otherwise, Qian Ye will be seriously injured if he doesn't die."

Jiang Fan was a little surprised: "That Qianye, is he really that powerful?"

Lu Hanting's expression was a little solemn: "It is rare to see such a strong young martial artist. He did not attack with all his strength that day. My subordinates estimate that even if he is not as good as Feng Chen and Xiang Chen, he will not be too far behind."

Jiang Fan was a little frightened: "According to the woodcutter's description, this person is only in his thirties, and no more than forty at most. This level of cultivation is really unbelievable. But Old Lu, as a killer ranked thirty-seventh, how can you It’s already a big deal to hurt him.”

Lu Hanting shook his head: "My lord knows that Lu has already killed the thirteenth in the world, and now he should be able to challenge the top ten assassins."

Jiang Fan was not surprised: "It's hard for you to hide it for so long. In fact, I am also very interested in how far you can reach now."

Lu Hanting was silent for a moment, then suddenly looked at Jiang Fan: "I want to kill someone."

Jiang Fan was stunned: "Huh? Are you angry?"

Lu Hanting shook his head: "No, although I have made a breakthrough, I don't have enough killing intent. In these years in the mortal world, I have had too few opportunities to kill people."

Jiang Fan seemed to have some realization: "You want to hone the way of killing?"

"Yes, the killer said, entry is by killing, so... I would like to ask you to go out for a while."

Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly: "How long?"

"It can take as long as three years and as little as one year."

Jiang Fan pondered for a moment: "Okay, I think you can afford to wait. Go ahead, but since you want to kill people, when you go out this time, kill a few more for me."

As he spoke, he actually took out a small bamboo tube from his arms and placed it on the table in front of Lu Hanting.

Lu Hanting was a little surprised: "Your Majesty, you would have known earlier that I was leaving?"

Jiang Fan shook his head: "How could I guess? It was Elder Wuhen's secret letter. He said you are an assassin, a killer, not a guard. You can't stop killing until you kill all the people. The Tao cannot be cut off."

Lu Hanting was slightly moved: "Teacher..."

Jiang Fan smiled: "So, go, let the world hear your name again."

"My name is no bottom line." Lu Hanting smiled.

Jiang Fan also laughed: "Assassin is your job. What bottom line do you need? As long as you have a bottom line as a human being, it's enough."

Lu Hanting also laughed rarely.

"Oh, by the way, before you leave, are you interested in assassinating someone with me again?"

"Qian Ye?"

Jiang Fan's eyes flashed with a sharpness: "I am a person who will never give up even the slightest grudge."

"Damn it, that bastard is spending the New Year's Day at home, but I have to run around and fight outside!"

Gu Qingshan spit out a dry grass from his mouth, looking unhappy.

Ye Banxian snorted: "Okay, kid, it's not all because of him. It was your destiny to face Jiang Zhan."

Gu Qingshan sighed and stared at the huge building complex that was faintly visible in the depths of the mountains.

"Yeah, but at least I helped him indirectly. I have to ask for some benefits in return."

Ye Banxian said disdainfully: "You still want to get benefits from that kid? It's not bad if you don't lose your pants."

Gu Qingshan smiled: "How do you know if you don't try."

Ye Banxian pointed to the building complex: "Okay, let's talk about Jiang Zhan. You have tried twice, do you have any idea?"
