General, please be a loyal minister!

With the death of Dou Xiao, other soldiers of the puppet dynasty also gave up resistance one after another, and with the surrender of Dou Cheng to the northwest, the puppet dynasty that had ruled the world for more than 20 years was completely destroyed.

In Dongdu, Liu Ji stood at the head of the city, looking eagerly at the southeast, waiting for Han Zhao who brought his troops to join him.

Finally he saw the fluttering Liu Zijun flag, but when they approached, Liu Ji did not see Han Zhao.

He grabbed Geng Yi and asked, "Where is Mr. Gu?"

Geng Yi was also puzzled: "Mr. Gu said that he had taken a step ahead! Didn't he arrive?"

Nonsense, Han Zhao will ask such a question when he arrives?

Liu Ji's heart sank, and he raised his eyes to look at the wide and empty surroundings, once again overwhelmed by a familiar sense of powerlessness.

He didn't speak, his eyes were dark.

……

The eastern capital, the sky prison, is dark and dull.

With the fall of the puppet dynasty, Xu Zhongyan also changed from house arrest to being formally imprisoned, and Shi 45 who followed him were also imprisoned, but they didn't know anything, and everything depended on Xu Zhongyan's mouth.

Liu Ji took the time to interrogate him, but he didn't get any useful information. He still had a lot of things to do, so he could only put Xu Zhongyan on hold.

Xu Zhongyan was dressed in a prison uniform and sat in a cell with only moldy straw and rats.Today's "second master" is no longer decent.People outside were busy dealing with the affairs brought about by the surrender of the puppet dynasty, but it was rare to be quiet here. Holding a wooden stick, Xu Zhongyan repeatedly wrote the characters "Ju" and "Xiu" on the ground.

Ting Tao Shuangbi—this kind of title that is only circulated among a certain class of students is really hard to find out, not to mention that Cheng Ju did not call this name when he was young, and Jing Xiu, the proud successor of the Qishan School, studied in Xuanzong He actually missed it...

Xu Zhongyan was very annoyed, but it was only annoyed, because he felt that he was not at the end of the road and could still turn things around.

Suddenly there was a strange and sharp sound in the silent dungeon, like the point of a gun being dragged on a stone slab, with a coldness that made people feel chills in the bottom of their hearts.

Facing the killing intent coming towards his face, Xu Zhongyan remained motionless, and calmly sighed: "We finally meet, and you have been looking for me for so long, it is really hard work for you."

Appearing outside Xu Zhongyan's cell was Han Zhao who had removed his disguise. He looked at Xu Zhongyan with cold eyes and said, "Where is the master?" This organization that has haunted him like a ghost for 12 years should be destroyed.

Xu Zhongyan smiled lightly: "He has come to you a long time ago."

Han Zhao was not satisfied with the answer. He raised the gun and inserted it into Xu Zhongyan's calf. While repeatedly crushing it, he asked again: "Where is the master?"

There are also tortures in the barracks, which are used to interrogate secret agents and traitors. Han Zhao knows where to poke people, but it will not endanger life.

The severe pain made Xu Zhongyan's face turn pale, and he broke out in a cold sweat: "You—don't...don't go to him, he will come to you—when you fall into his net completely and can't struggle."

Han Zhao increased the strength in his hands, and Xu Zhongyan struggled in pain, but he still refused to speak.Han Zhao drew out his gun, pointed it at Xu Zhongyan's other calf, and asked another question: "Where's Ji Liang?"

Xu Zhongyan still insisted: "He has his own life, he is - where he should be."

Without saying a word, Han Zhao stabbed the gun into Xu Zhongyan's calf. With Xu Zhongyan's scream, the tip of the gun came out from the other side.

He didn't expect Xu Zhongyan to give the answer so easily. Rather than interrogating, he wanted to torture Xu Zhongyan more, just like watching a poisonous snake struggle and twist when it was nailed to the ground.

Facing the angry Han Zhao, Xu Zhongyan pulled out a distorted smile with difficulty: "Liu Xuan is really cute."

Han Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then his face sank, black as ink, he was irritated.

Xu Zhongyan didn't realize it, and continued on his own: "He is the most innocent lord I've ever seen. He has always been so trusting, relying on, and protecting his subjects, like a king who walked out of a fairy tale. But the world is not so beautiful , it’s better for a person like him to stay in the legend, so I sent him back.”

Speaking of this, Xu Zhongyan smiled maliciously: "I heard that he was still calling your and Liu Ji's names when he died—ah——"

Xu Zhongyan's words were cut off, replaced by a cry of pain, Han Zhao was completely enraged, and nailed him to the wall with a gun through his shoulder.

Han Zhao gritted his teeth, as if there was Xu Zhongyan's flesh and blood between his teeth: "Are you forcing me to kill you?"

After enduring the severe pain, Xu Zhongyan lamented weakly: "I have understood a truth since I was a child. The human heart is the most easily changed thing in the world. It is ignorant and cruel - but it does not know it. It is selfish. Self-interest but unwilling to be condemned, is obviously the most despicable thing, but wants to pretend to be great—"

"When I was young, Ji Liang's father and my father died to protect the villagers, but the villagers who promised to take care of us when they died gradually became impatient with age, and finally abandoned Ji Liang and me tacitly. I don’t care about it on the mountain... But people, that’s how it is, I don’t blame them.” At this point, Xu Zhongyan smiled slightly, but this smile is too fake, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

Xu Zhongyan didn't continue to talk about the mountain village, but instead said: "People's hearts are hypocritical, selfish, and cruel. That's why people are suspicious of each other, so a few words can turn monarchs and ministers against each other, and alienate uncles and nephews. It's very interesting how they are played around..."

He raised his eyebrows at Han Zhao: "Don't you think so? Oh, you were tricked."

Han Zhao, who was originally angry, calmed down after hearing Xu Zhongyan's statement. He sneered: "You are just a despicable villain who provokes dissension. Once exposed to the broad daylight, you will reveal your true colors. No matter how arrogant you say What's the use? A bitch is a bitch."

His feelings for Xu Zhongyan changed from hatred to hatred and contempt.

"You assassinated Jing Xiu just because you couldn't win him in strategy; you poisoned Liu Xuan because you couldn't shake Liangzhou with his little means; you instigated the aristocratic family to betray Yu Wenxun because With him, you can live in Liangzhou. You can't beat any of them in a frontal struggle, so you resort to third-rate means. You are mediocre and incompetent, but you pretend to be a city master; your means are despicable and poor, but And I think I'm so smart..."

Han Zhao did not hide his disgust, and his eyes fell on Xu Zhongyan as if looking at something dirty: "You are just a rat living in the gutter, a disgusting leech, you are the ignorant, cruel, despicable but self-conscious people who know."

Every word of these words was heartbreaking, every sentence stepped on the same feet, Xu Zhongyan's eyes changed from calmness at the beginning, to anger, and then to hatred.He looked at Han Zhao with bloodshot eyes: "Small man? Rat? Leech? You are really high. Anyone can be condescending and belittle others, but how long do you think you can maintain this dignity? You can't escape, you will Worse than me—”

Xu Zhongyan laughed maniacally, even too much, and began to cough violently, vomiting a mouthful of blood, but he was still smiling, grinning his blood-stained teeth.

Han Zhao angered him, but he didn't care about it, because he knew that Han Zhao would be miserable: no one could bear the distorted "favor" of his master.

Smelling an ominous smell from Xu Zhongyan's words, Han Zhao's expression turned serious: "What do you mean?"

Just when Han Zhao was about to ask, a cold air came from behind him, and he subconsciously pulled out his gun and turned around to block. With a "knock", Han Zhao's gun body collided with a sword.

The one who attacked was a man in black. His whole body was covered in black cloth, except for a pair of eyes whose pupils were too black to be seen.

After a short handover, the two backed away.The man in black does not look tall, but he is slender and thin, resembling a young man.

Seeing the man in black, Xu Zhongyan's eyes glowed: "You are finally here."

The man in black kept fighting with Han Zhao without saying a word.The man in black was quick and had weird moves, but Han Zhao could still handle it.And he sensed that the man in black was keeping his hand.

The man in black had the opportunity to hurt him several times, but he kept his hand and did not drop his sword.

This man didn't want to kill him... no, not only didn't want to kill him, he didn't even intend to hurt him.

why?

At first, Han Zhao thought the man in black was the mysterious "boss", but after the fight, he became suspicious again. The boss was a master that even Ji Liang was afraid of.Although the man in black is powerful, the kung fu he has shown so far is not enough to make Ji Liang incapable of fighting.

Although the man in black's kung fu was better than Han Zhao's, but when he deliberately kept his hand, the situation quickly tilted towards Han Zhao.Han Zhao turned around and struck the man in black's leg with a spear. The force of this move was enough to break the bones of the leg. However, the man in black only bent his leg and attacked like a normal person.

Han Zhao's heart sank, and he continued to attack.

He quickly discovered that the injury didn't seem to affect the man in black at all, and even though he was bleeding, his movements didn't slow down at all.

Physical exhaustion was serious, and the power of Han Zhao's moves began to weaken, but the man in black remained unchanged, as if he would never get tired.

Han Zhao was startled: Is this still a human?

One side will become weaker due to consumption, but the other side will always be at its peak combat power. If it continues, there is no doubt about the outcome of the battle.

This is the boss, Han Zhao can be sure.

No wonder Ji Liang would say that he was a monster. Facing such a person, he would have to run away or lose.

Soon, Han Zhao's parry began to struggle, and the man in black seized the gap and grabbed Xu Zhongyan and was about to leave.

How could Han Zhao allow Xu Zhongyan to be rescued?If you can't ask anything, it's better to kill him.

So the goal of the two people's struggle changed from defeating each other to Xu Zhongyan's life and death.

Xu Zhongyan doesn't know martial arts, so he can only rely on the protection of the man in black.

Han Zhao completely ignored the black-clothed attack, and raised his gun to attack Xu Zhongyan, wanting to exchange injuries for his life. The black-clothed man took back his moves to block, but Han Zhao suddenly changed his moves and pulled his arms back to return the gun. The point of the gun shot out from behind him. It penetrated Xu Zhongyan's throat.

From the hope of being able to escape to the despair of being killed in an instant, Xu Zhongyan's eyes widened, and a lot of emotions flashed in it: panic, despair, regret, fear, and after a burst of "ho ho" sounded in his throat , Xu Zhongyan lowered his head feebly, unwilling to die.

It seems that this "second master" may not be calm when facing death.

The man in black was still staring at his sword blankly, as if he was recalling how Han Zhao used that move.

After killing Xu Zhongyan, Han Zhao drew back his gun, retreated five steps away, and resumed his defensive posture.The idea that the man in black didn't want to kill him might not change after he killed Xu Zhongyan.

The man in black threw away Xu Zhongyan's body and looked up at Han Zhao.It was hard to see any emotion in those weirdly dark pupils, so Han Zhao raised his guard.

The man in black raised his foot, Han Zhao raised his gun, but the man in black stopped and took it back.

After staring at each other for a moment, the man in black turned his head, and the ghostly figure quickly swept out of the cell.

Han Zhao raised his feet and chased after him, but he couldn't catch up at all.

The road leading to the outside of the cell was covered with the corpses of the guards—it was not difficult to see that the men in black had killed them.Han Zhao ran out of the prison and almost bumped into the soldiers who came to rescue him after discovering the accident in the cell. Thinking that he hadn't changed his face, Han Zhao turned his head to the wall to take advantage of it and hid on the beam.

Avoiding the soldiers who were searching for the murderer, Han Zhao quickly left the prison. On the way back, he repeatedly recalled a few short conversations with Xu Zhongyan.

What does the master has come mean?

Could it be that the master has already lurked in the Jingzhou camp?

And the man in black is too weird.

Han Zhao also dared to say that he could survive under the hands of the man in black. If it was an assassination - he couldn't guarantee that he would survive.

Thinking of a person more scheming than Xu Zhongyan and such a terrifying killer hiding in the Jingzhou camp, where Liu Ji was, Han Zhao shuddered.

It seems that he can't go yet.

……

The man in black who left the Eastern Capital rode his horse all the way south until he encountered a low-key carriage.

He got off his horse and knelt down in front of the car.

A gap was raised in the curtain, and a clear and low male voice sounded from inside the car: "Did you get out?"

The man in black shook his head.

"died?"

The man in black nodded.

"Who killed it?"

The man in black was silent.

"It's him."

The man in black nodded again.

There was a moment of silence in the carriage, and then a low laugh came out: "Forget it, if you can let him vent his anger, he will die."

The person in the car sighed: "Xu Yan is a cute little guy, but his talent is a bit lacking."

The man in black didn't respond.

"Bo Yin, are you happy to see him?"

The man in black nodded heavily.

"Do you want to stay with him forever?"

The man in black nodded repeatedly.

The person in the car smiled happily: "Don't worry. He will be with us soon."

The author has something to say: that's him!The biggest pervert in this article, master!

Compared with the master, the second master is simply too normal.
