The appearance of Li Xingshu is like the last straw.

Zhou Daozhen sat down on the ground and murmured: "You know...you still know..."

Li Xingshu slowly walked out of the shadows.

His gaze first stopped on Fu Hanzhou's face, as if he had doubts about his identity, but soon returned to Zhou Daozhen.

Behind Li Xingshu, Zhou Yinxue walked tremblingly.

Zhou Yinxue called out in a low voice: "Father...it was Uncle Li who saved me. Father, what's wrong with you?"

Zhou Daozhen's lips trembled uncontrollably, and he was speechless for a long time.

Li Xingshu said: "You and I have known each other for many years. Today, your heart is attached to this son, and you are restless. How can I not see it? Your son was kidnapped here, and you were told to keep quiet. Not to mention, it seems that he is really disappointed in me."

"no!"

Zhou Daozhen finally said, "No, big brother. I'm just... It's just that those rumors have been rampant these days, and I know they want to harm you! I don't want you to get involved again."

"Dao Zhen." Li Xingshu said, "I have traveled all over the years. I used to be extravagant, and I also used to live and eat. But no matter what my situation is, I have never treated you badly. Right?"

Zhou Daozhen said, "Yes."

Li Xingshu said again: "Thirty years ago, you put in a bid to sell your head. I passed by along the street, rescued you from slavery, and settled you well. It was you who insisted on entering my family and supporting me. I told you at that time You don't have to flatter me, I just ask you to be honest, don't lie to me about anything, and don't use my reputation to do evil - you can leave whenever you want, right?"

Zhou Daozhen said, "Yes."

Li Xingshu said again: "What happened in Sanshui back then was because I, Mr. Li, made a mistake. What I did alone, I should take care of it alone. I don't care about some fame and fortune, but Ayue is the person I have let down the most in my life. I I told you that if I could make it up to her, I would risk my life, didn't I?"

When he said this, Zhou Daozhen had already burst into tears, bit his lower lip tightly, and squeezed out from the depths of his chest: "Yes."

Li Xingshu took another step forward and said, "A Yue Gan took a strange risk to give birth to a child for me and entrusted it to you. I trust you so much, why did you give me a dead baby? Tell me I have already died in his womb?"

Puff.

Zhou Daozhen fell to his knees on the ground, facing Li Xingshu with his long body.

"Big brother!"

Zhou Dao said in a trembling voice: "You allowed me to call you big brother, but I regard you as a second-born parent in my heart. How can I not know that you have been digging your heart and soul for me all these years? You love Ji Shenyue in this life and can't get it. How can I not get it?" I don’t know? But she is the princess of Xixia, the queen of the Da Yue Clan!

"Just because of this woman, you have been reduced from a majestic prince to a street mouse that everyone shouts and beats; you should be the world's number one swordsman, but your martial arts have been completely useless, and you have been slumped in Qinlou, a wine shop for several months. When she was drunk, she was still calling her name!

"If you can let go of the morality of your family and country in your heart, how good would it be? Even if I, Zhou Daozhen, are punished by three thousand knives, I will help you stay and fly together and stay away from the disputes of the Three Kingdoms. But you still have Da Zhou in your heart." Jiangshan Sheji, you dare not offend that dog emperor! You can only sacrifice yourself to complete this eternal alliance of three waters.

"Ji Shenyue was able to give birth to that child in that situation. I also admire her courage and ability. But this child cannot be kept! At that time, he was equivalent to an ironclad proof that you insulted Xixia and Da Yueshi This is the ironclad proof - as long as he is alive, even the emperor of the Great Zhou cannot protect you, he will definitely abandon his car to protect the commander in chief, and handing you over to appease the anger of the two countries..."

Li Xingshu heard this silently, and said: "Your son is not me, how do you know that I am not willing?"

Zhou Daozhen raised his head and said with tears all over his face: "But you are Li Xingshu! You are the indomitable and sword-walking Li Xingshu! How can I bear to see them destroy you?"

At this time, Fu Hanzhou on the side suddenly said: "Even so, you can secretly raise that child. Why did you want to put him to death in the first place?"

Zhou Daozhen said: "Because that child has inherited the innate sword bone. Once people see him, they will definitely think of Li Xingshu immediately."

Li Xingshu's right hand, placed by his side, trembled violently.

He seemed to realize suddenly and clearly: that child, who inherited his blood, inherited Ji Shenyue's blood, really existed.

"what……"

Li Xingshu laughed at himself in a low voice: "What kind of prince of the Great Zhou, what kind of shit swordsman, in the end he can neither protect the woman he loves, nor the child she left behind... What am I? Zhou Daozhen, I was once angry with fresh clothes The horse, resting on the mountains and rivers, how high-spirited it is; now that I am half a hundred years old, my wife and children are separated, my friends are scattered, and I don’t know where I am... What kind of thing have I lived for these decades?"

"No, brother, I'm sorry for you." Zhou Daozhen said, "It's all my fault. I'm ungrateful and wolf-hearted. I'd rather you draw your sword and kill me right now!"

Li Xingshu stood still, just looking at him with cold and sad eyes.

Zhou Daozhen's back was trembling violently, and he heard his son Zhou Yinxue yelling in fear: "Father, what's the matter with you?"

Suddenly, Zhou Daozhen's eyes saw something, he pounced on the messy ground, and groped for a rusty iron fork...

Li Xingshu saw it, but he didn't move.

Fu Hanzhou's index finger had already touched the hilt of Feng Ting's sword, but he finally stopped and did not move.

That rusty farm tool was blunt.

Zhou Daozhen knelt there, he had to use all his strength to stab it into his heart veins inch by inch.

The blade is not sharp enough.

He used his nails to tear himself apart so that he could end his own life happily.

"father!!"

Zhou Yinxue screamed, rushed over, pressed Zhou Daozhen's wound in fear, trying to stop the bright red river of blood flowing mercilessly from his palm.

A smile appeared on Zhou Daozhen's face full of tears, and he said with difficulty: "Axue, study hard... don't practice martial arts, and don't... learn from father. Father is a villain, and he obviously wants big brother to live a life of his own." It's better... but it just... still makes him sad."

Zhou Yinxue cried: "Brother bullshit! What big brother! Father, don't worry about this useless person!"

"Shut up! Nizi!" Zhou Daozhen suddenly stretched out his bloody hand, grabbed Zhou Yinxue's neck, stared fiercely at his son's face full of fear, and suddenly a vivid and bright look appeared in his dying eyes , "My elder brother...is a first-class good man, the most brilliant swordsman in the world, not some...waste..."

After all, the look in his eyes suddenly disappeared.

His hands drooped weakly, leaving only a few deep fingerprints on Zhou Yinxue's neck.

he died.

Zhou Yinxue managed to get rid of his father's hand, fell to the side and coughed uncontrollably, remembering to press Zhou Daozhen's chest desperately.

He raised his head helplessly, desperately wanting to ask for help—either to anyone nearby, or to the gods and Buddhas passing by.

However, he only saw black clouds covering the stars and the moon, and silence enveloped everything.

Fu Hanzhou whispered: "This is his own choice."

He sighed softly, and looked up at Li Xingshu.

The shadow of thick clouds on the ground slowly passed by, and the dim moonlight shone down. He saw that Li Xingshu's hair was already covered with white hair.

People with deep inner strength rarely look old.

Although Li Xingshu is over half a hundred years old, he is always energetic and energetic all the year round.

Until tonight, his hair was graying overnight, and his face seemed to have many wrinkles, and he seemed to have aged 20 years in an instant.

Li Xingshu still stood there silently, and after an unknown amount of time, he said hoarsely, "Are you the sword in the shadow?"

Fu Hanzhou nodded, tore off the mask on his face, and said, "It's me. Zhou Yinxue was arrested by Lin Xue'an. He wanted to force Zhou Daozhen to tell the truth, but I broke it. I also happened to meet..."

Li Xingshu said: "I know."

They were quiet for a while, and Fu Hanzhou said: "Senior, since you already know that the child is still alive, why don't you follow the clues with me, maybe you can find him. After all, the innate sword bone... is rare in the world, isn't it?"

"I can not."

Li Xingshu said in a low voice: "If I find that child, I will harm them instead. The innate sword bone symbolizes our guilt; after so many years, if the child is alive, he is alive, but once his identity is revealed , The world is so big that the Central Plains, Western Xia, and Western Regions cannot tolerate him. And Ah Yue has obeyed the will of the Emperor Dayue Clan, and now she is the empress dowager, so she can't be dragged down by me because of what happened back then."

Fu Hanzhou suddenly said: "It seems that there is something else hidden about what happened back then. I don't believe that you will be the one who abandoned your wife and children."

Li Xingshu suddenly raised his head to look at Fu Hanzhou, and warned: "The past is over, there is no need to pursue it any further. All the crimes are borne by me, Li Xingshu. You have nothing to do with this matter, so don't put yourself in danger !"

Fu Hanzhou said: "It may not be irrelevant."

Li Xingshu looked at him with sad eyes and said: "Why should it be related? People should be used to fighting charmingly, always losing to him, and the rain will turn the clouds."

He sighed lowly, as if he was exhausted, he didn't even have the strength to say one more word, he just walked quietly along the way to the time, and walked into the darkness alone.

Fu Hanzhou unconsciously watched him go away.

He vaguely remembered that line of poetry.

It is said: You should be used to fighting people with charm, always lose to him, and you will be overwhelmed by rain and clouds.Ice and charcoal, deal with each other for a long time!

It is also said: I have also been wandering for a long time. In the past ten years, my deep gratitude has been exhausted, and I have died, my teacher and my friend.

After a while, Zhou Yinxue passed out from crying.

Next to the standing shadow of Fu Hanzhou, there was another tall figure.

Fu Hanzhou said wearily: "You are here too..."

"En." Ying Longcheng responded, then stretched out his hand, and embraced Fu Hanzhou without saying a word.

The faint sandalwood fragrance from the sword god enveloped him, adding warmth to the silence tonight.

Putting his forehead on his shoulder, Fu Hanzhou felt a sense of stability. After a while, he raised his head again and said, "I have to try to convince Li Xingshu, I think there is something hidden in that case."

Ying Longcheng said: "Okay."

After tonight, Fu Hanzhou wanted to get clues from Li Xingshu.

But he didn't expect that some people didn't draft their words, let alone any evidence, and directly put forward a guess——

A "conspiracy" that surprised everyone and even shuddered.
