In the world of nobility, there is no distinction between right and wrong, only interests.

It's just that Monobe Shouya did not expect that even in such a mortal situation, he would still find a way out for that Qin Hesheng.

"No, if Qin Hesheng really chooses to join Su Wo's side...it seems that he should act sooner."

Taking a deep breath, Monobe Moriya stood up from the chair, and after summoning his subordinates to give a few instructions, he walked towards the confinement room.

Originally, Monobe Moriya's confinement place was in her own room, but since she escaped directly and powerfully through the window and over the wall last time, Monobe Moriya had to change the other party's confinement place.

However, even though the place was changed, all the items in the confinement room were still available.

When Monobe Moriya walked in, Monobe Fudu was sitting at the table in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart.

"Brother."

Sensing his arrival, Monobubu raised his head and glanced at him, and after saying a word to him in an extremely flat tone, he turned his head again.

"What, are you still angry?"

Going to the table and sitting down, Monobe Moriya glanced at the place his sister was looking at, and what he saw was a plain cup on the table.

"You are no longer a child, I think you should be able to understand my good intentions. Do you know how much wealth we Monobe lost due to your willfulness?"

"...Brother, do you think money is more important or life is more important?"

After a moment of silence, Monobe Futo raised his head.

"I know you hate me, but do you think there are some things you can do if you want to?"

Without answering that question, Monobe Moriya let out a sigh.

"When I was young, like you, I couldn't see the way those nobles did, and I was determined to change this decadent system, but when you grow up, you will understand that there are too many things that are beyond your control. Qin He Sheng can ignore his Qin family, but I can't, because I bear the expectations of our entire Monobu clan."

"...Is it just because of this?"

Fudo Monobe spoke in a low voice.

"Brother, do you remember the words you said to me when you took me to the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise when you were young? I always remember it. But since you took over as the head of the family, I feel that you have become a lot stranger, It's also a lot cold-blooded. You haven't changed anything, but you've been maintaining..."

"Budu, you are still too naive."

Monobe Moriya shook his head.

"The higher you stand, the more you can't help yourself. Yes, I have changed, but I have to force myself to change, because I can't bring Monobe Going to perish. Qin Hesheng doesn't care about him, but I do."

"No, he has the courage, but you don't even have the courage, brother."

Monobe Futo confronted his elder brother tit for tat without showing any weakness.

"Brother, you once said that your mission is to change this corrupt system, but your actions have disappointed me completely."

"Are you disappointed..."

After a moment of absence, Monobe Moriya suddenly laughed.

"Then do you know, if Qin Hesheng continues like this, what will be the final result of waiting for him? I can tell you very clearly that he will die, because no one will allow him to live."

"You want to shoot him!?"

His complexion changed suddenly, and Fudo Monobe stood up abruptly from the chair, his tone suddenly became icy cold.

"Brother, if you..."

"Get out of here with him."

Interrupting his sister's words, closing his eyes, Monobe Moriya's words suddenly became very tired for some reason.

"Qin Hesheng can no longer be accommodated here, because he already has nothing. Don't you like him? Then leave here with him, go as far away as possible, and stay away from this land of power struggle." swirl."

"...Brother...?"

Fudo Monobe froze there suddenly.

"Here, too many people want his life, and he has to leave. Breaking the rules without the strength to challenge the rules, do you think he can survive?"

Opening his eyes again, the expression on Monobe Moriya's face became indifferent again.

"I've already prepared the carriage in advance, and I've sent someone to pack up the luggage, money, etc. You guys are leaving tonight."

................................................

"Hey, so why bother? Wouldn't it be nice to be caught by me obediently before?"

With his back facing the messy pond destroyed by himself, and looking at the few fish struggling on the ground in front of him, Shi Bai sighed with emotion.

If it hadn't been for not catching a fish and completely annoyed him, he wouldn't have done such a crazy thing as draining all the water in the pond.

"It's a pity, anyway, I have lived here for such a long time..."

Turning his head and looking at the pond behind him, after shaking his head, Shi Bai turned around and walked towards the back room.

This courtyard was chosen by him to be quiet. After all, he has been in office for such a long time and has left so many memories. It would be a lie to say that he has no feelings at all.

Back in his room, he opened the cabinet, Shi Bai carefully put back the mask in his hand, and then closed the cabinet door again.

Although this body of Qin Hesheng is just an ordinary mortal, at any rate, he had learned Taoism with Huo Qing'e for a month or two before. According to the most basic divination, he had already set the date of his death inferred.

If it was after tonight, it would happen to be his birthday, but according to the divination he gave himself this morning, he would not survive this night at all, and it happened to correspond to the divination of Huo Qing'e's early death, an untimely death.

However, the hexagrams he gave himself also showed that if Qin Hesheng could survive the death tonight, then Qin Hesheng's next life would have a smooth journey, and he would reach the pinnacle of his life from then on.

But since his task has been overfulfilled, he does not intend to continue wasting time. After all, if he continues, he is really afraid that something will go wrong with his mental suppression. If you come out...

But speaking of it, if Qin Hesheng didn't die tonight, how would he reach the pinnacle of his life?I offended all those nobles to death... Can this look make me come back?Will those nobles know how to play?

For this question, someone can be said to be puzzled.

It didn't make him think for too long. With the arrival of Monobufuto, after hearing the other party's stammering words, he was obviously stunned.

"This, this is not elopement!! It's just a temporary escape and hide!! We will come back again in the future... Hey, Qin Hesheng, are you listening to me!?"

"Huh? Of course I'm listening."

Glancing at the carriage parked in front of his courtyard behind the girl in front of him, he smiled at the gray-haired girl in front of him, and when the girl was caught off guard, he suddenly reached out and hugged her into his arms, leaning over her He whispered in his ear.

"Don't hate your brother, he also has difficulties."

"What? Qin Hesheng, you..."

An unknown premonition and an inexplicable fear suddenly surged in my heart. Just when Monobefuto was about to ask, his consciousness suddenly fell into exhaustion, and the vision in his eyes became smaller and smaller. Only someone's bright smile under the moonlight remained.

"Have a good night's sleep."

The end story of the temple of the gods

The night is cold, and the moonlight is as cool as water.

After seeing Monobufuto suddenly fell asleep, a few figures quietly walked out of the darkness from behind the carriage that was originally parked at the gate of his courtyard.

After casually looking over there, Shibai turned around and went back to his room with Monobudo in his arms, put him on the bed and covered him with a quilt. After doing this, he got up and went out the door.

"Come on, take me to see him."

After a moment of silence, the figures in the darkness quietly moved out of the way.

Half an hour later, Monobe Moriya saw Qin Hesheng in a newly built temple outside the city.

"...How did you see this trap?"

Seeing Qin Hesheng who was as beautiful as in the legend after taking off the mask in front of him, after a moment of speechless silence, Monobe Moriya spoke coldly.

"It's very simple, because I know you will never let me go."

After finding a futon to sit down on, Qin Hesheng replied casually.

"If you really want to do big things, you can't be so indecisive. If you really let me go, you have no way to explain to the nobles standing behind you... You must also have respect for them. an explanation."

"Oh? Why don't I know what's going on?"

Almost subconsciously, he pressed his hand to the long sword worn at his waist, and Monobe Moriya's words were already tinged with cold murderous intent.

"Well, don't you want to rebel?"

As if he didn't feel the lingering murderous intent in the air at all, someone's voice was not affected in any way.

And after he said these words, in an instant, the atmosphere in the entire empty Buddhist hall dropped below zero.

"...People who are too smart tend to die very early."

A long sword at his waist was drawn halfway and then slowly pushed back, Monobe Moriya said coldly.

"Do you really think I dare not kill you?"

"Good people don't live long, and bad things last for thousands of years. I understand these truths better than you, but do you think I am someone who is afraid of death?"

Qin Hesheng's tone seemed quite indifferent.

"In these years, the Monobe family has been accumulating strength, recruiting soldiers, and accumulating wealth. Isn't it for the purpose of conspiring against one day and then reaching the peak of power? But although you have the so-called heroic appearance, your conduct It's a bit too contemptuous. Is it necessary to involve her in the matter between us? Are you really not afraid that she will hate you? "

"So what? Those who achieve big things don't care about small things. Maybe it's best for her to hate me, because then she won't get too close to me. If I fail in the future, my affairs won't be involved." she."

Frowning slightly, looking at Qin Hesheng sitting in front of him, Monobe Moriya's tone was serious.

"You didn't have to die. You were too stupid. You challenged the rules without enough strength. In the end, it was just your own fault. It's a pity that Budu fell in love with someone like you." !!"

"I can't help it, who told me that my charm has been maxed out?"

What Monobe Moriya didn't expect was that Qin He in front of him not only showed no fear and fear on his face from the beginning to the end, but now he raised his head and looked at the dome with some melancholy.

"But having said that, ambition is a good thing, but your ambition is too taken for granted. You who have been corrupted by so-called rights and classes, even if you finally succeeded in reaching the pinnacle of power, you Are you sure you can still keep your heart?"

"You don't need to worry about this kind of thing. Even if I fail, relying on the relationship between Fudu and that Prince Shotoku is enough to keep her safe. But if you let her stay by your side, you It will only harm her, because you simply don't have the power to protect her."

Slowly pulling out the long sword attached to his waist, Mobe Moriya remained expressionless.

"In some respects, I really admire you, but unfortunately, we are not the same way. Since you have already seen that this is a trap, why did you come here? You should have a chance to escape Let it fall."

"That's right, I have a chance to escape, no matter if I run to find Tu Zigu or the Son of God, I can survive tonight... Do you want to know why?"

Qin Hesheng in front of him suddenly raised his head and looked at him.

"……why?"
