Twilight War

Huang Xuanjin turned his head to look at Ye Qi, "Why did you kill that official from Vana?"

"After the day's death that year, the imperial court assigned the blood of Kuafu in Huayin to Vana for mining." Ye Qi said.

"I know about this."

"Then have you been to Huayin?"

"No."

"There...has long been a hell on earth." Ye Qi closed his eyes as if he didn't want to recall what he saw when he went to Huayin, "Since that Vana official named La Langfu started working in Huayin, With Yin appointed as the overseer, Huayin is already a purgatory on the ground of Donghuang."

"Do you still remember the Dansulph disaster in the reign of Emperor Kaiyang?" Ye Qi said: "A Dansulphur disaster turned all the surrounding areas of Donghuang into scorched earth. But Huayin today is worse than Donghuang after Dansulph's disaster. What's more."

"The mountain is covered with black oil refining residue, and all the fields in Huayin have been destroyed. Most of the men in Huayin were used as miners."

"They didn't regard the lives of Donghuang people as their lives at all." Ye Qi gritted his teeth and said word by word, his tone was restrained, but he could still feel the anger he suppressed, "I die in the mine every day. The people in the mine were directly buried in the mine, and after a mine was opened, more than half of it was filled by dead people.”

"Three months ago, the miners rioted in Huayin, but they were suppressed by the Vana army and the court together. And some of my brothers went there too."

"La Langfu asked the court to hand them over, and the court... also handed them over." Ye Qi rubbed the iron rod in his hand, "I was in Quanzhou at that time, and when I arrived in Huayin. The bodies of several brothers hang on the mine."

"I found out that La Langfu, who killed them, has returned to Varna, so I'm here now."

"So many people failed to kill La Langfu in Donghuang. If you come to Vana alone, can you kill him?" Huang Xuanjin said looking at the fog on the Corinth pier.

"My lord, you may have heard the story of the Mo Daoist who knew he wouldn't survive seven days." Ye Qi said.

"I have heard." Huang Xuanjin nodded: "I heard that in the 24th year of the kingdom, there was a Mo Daoist who drank wine on a sword. He knew he would not live for seven days, so he hid himself in the mountains."

"On the first day, his mentor came to see him. His mentor said that he had smoked too many pipes in the early years, and now he was short of breath and couldn't breathe all day long. So he cut his own lung and gave it to his mentor."

"The next day, his close relatives and friends came to see him with a jug of wine, and told him that his eyes had been ruined by an enemy, so Mo Dao Ke gouged out his own eyes and gave them to his close relatives and friends."

"On the third day, a storyteller who used to be eloquent came to him and said that his tongue was now stiff and he could no longer speak the storytelling story, so Mo Dao Ke cut off his tongue and gave it to the storyteller .”

"On the fourth day, the fifth day, and the sixth day, people came to him, so he gave up two fingers, one arm and one liver."

"On the last day, his junior sister came to see him. His junior sister was going to marry the most romantic and suave young man in white clothes in the Jianghu. But his junior sister didn't have a heart to love others. So he cut his own heart and gave His junior sister. In the end, he died on the seventh day, and his junior sister and the young man in white finally became a fairy couple."

"My lord, do you want to be that swordsman?" Ye Qi asked.

"Could it be that you want to?" Huang Xuanjin looked at Ye Qi and asked.

"Get this body, donate this river and lake. My luck." Ye Qi suddenly smiled and said: "Donate my eyes, the eternal wind and rain will end. Donate my tongue, drink a bowl of wine in the rivers and lakes. Donate my broken arm, donate my disability Limbs. Donate my whole body of blood, and become a wind in the rivers and lakes of wine."

Huang Xuanjin could only lower his head and smile silently.

"Young Master, won't you ask me who the other person I want to kill is?" Ye Qi said while holding the iron rod in his hand.

"It's not necessary, it's just Donghuang's traitor, if you want to kill it, just kill it." Huang Xuanjin said.

"But I want to kill this traitor, he is no ordinary traitor." Ye Qi said.

"How unusual."

"That traitor has a noble and unparalleled bloodline. He should have sworn to defend Donghuang with this body, but he made Donghuang fall into fire and water."

Huang Xuanjin raised his head and looked at Ye Qi, those peach blossom eyes were still slightly bent, but they were too dark to see the bottom.

"I want to kill him, Donghuang's biggest traitor!" Ye Qi laughed wildly, "I want to kill him—Emperor Changgeng!"

He tightly gripped the iron rod in his hand.

"Are you crazy?" Huang Xuanjin said, "Emperor Changgeng? That's the emperor of Donghuang! Only courtiers betray the emperor, how can there be an emperor who betrays the country!"

"The emperor is not benevolent, the emperor is the biggest traitor!" Ye Qi gritted his teeth and said, looking at the boy.

"One day, I will kill Ling Xiao!"

Ye Qi shouted on the empty pier under the setting sun, he was dressed in a white coat, but his eyes seemed to kill the emperor.

"So far in Donghuang, there are corrupt officials, powerful enemies who humiliate the country, and cruel officials in power, but the biggest sinner is Emperor Changgeng! This world is not dominated by him alone, but by millions of people in Donghuang at that time! The emperor! If you are not benevolent, your subjects will be overthrown!"

"But if you want to kill Emperor Changgeng, then you have come to the wrong place." Huang Xuanjin said.

"I didn't come to the wrong place." Ye Qi said: "Emperor Changgeng deserves to die, and he must die too. But I'm not a fool, and I'm not just a reckless man. After he's dead, what will Donghuang do next?"

"The 24 countries, 200 years of war, do you want the people of Donghuang to suffer from the war again? Be like two-legged sheep again, with rotten bones? What's more, there are Vana and Arthur outside now. Falling into chaos, the future...unpredictable."

"But if the throne is given to the sons of Emperor Changgeng, it doesn't make any difference whether I kill Emperor Changgeng or not. It's just passing the throne from one stupid emperor to the next."

"How do you know that those princes are fools, not keeping a low profile." Huang Xuanjin said.

"I have been in Donghuang for these years, so I don't know. I still have King Huai who has a kind of emperor's benevolence, but half a year ago, King Huai also died of a serious illness. If Emperor Changgeng dies, he is most likely to become the next emperor. It is the Second Prince."

"Then what's the use of you coming to Baner?" Huang Xuanjin asked.

"There is a bird in Donghuang, its name is Shenhuang. Seeing it will bring peace to the world. I came to Vana to bring back the Shenhuang bird from Donghuang." Ye Qi said looking at the fog on the pier.

Huang Xuanjin laughed dumbly, "Could it be that what you said...is..."

"It's the former Young Master Jin of the Jiangnan Huangxuan family." Ye Qi said.

"Then your trip to Vana is in vain. He is already Vana's lackey, a traitor, and a family slave of three surnames. You might as well kill him before killing Emperor Changgeng!" The young man sneered almost insanely, Those peach blossom eyes are bent, like a crazy Tsing Yi Huadan on the stage.

"He can't save Dong Huang!" He stopped laughing halfway, and said softly, "He can't even save himself."

The young man's eyes are like a deep pool, like an ancient well, like ultramarine dyed with white mountains and black water.

"If he betrayed Donghuang, from the south of Juyongguan to the south of the Yangtze River, he would have already been turned into scorched earth." Ye Qi said seriously, not caring about the young man's crazy smirk.

"He won't go back to Donghuang again. A dog in mourning can't go home." Huangxuan Jin said with a smile, "Besides, Huangxuan's family is long gone, and Donghuang is no longer his home."

"It's getting late, I'm going back." Huang Xuanjin sighed in the evening mist in Corinth, picked up his coat that he had thrown on the fence, and put it on his shoulders.

"Has someone ever told the young master that the young master has the Jianghu spirit of Donghuang 800 years ago."

Ye Qi suddenly said behind the boy.

San Rafael Hospital.

It was already night, and apart from the hospitalized patients and night nurses, there were not many people in the building.

In Dr. Norton's laboratory, Huangxuan Jin rummaged through the medicine bottles in the cabinet, turned out more than a dozen medicine bottles, then poured the white pills into the palm of his hand, then took a little ice water from the beaker, and poured dozens of medicine bottles into the palm of his hand. Tablets of medicine swallowed.

Gently put the beaker on the table, Huangxuan Jin leaned on the table and lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

"It can't be like this." The little girl looked at Huang Xuanjin timidly from the table, "The doctor said that it is not allowed to take medicine casually like this."

Huang Xuanjin looked down at the little girl, and remembered that it was the little girl named as Experiment 751.

"Why not." Huang Xuanjin smiled with the corners of his mouth raised.

"I'll die." The little girl said seriously.

Huang Xuanjin snorted softly, screwed the lid of the medicine bottle, put it back in the cabinet, and closed the window.

The evening wind is very cool, and the huge Raphael angel statue in front of the San Raphael Hospital looks down in the twilight.

The boy's black hair was blown by the wind.

"Doctor Norton said that I will have another operation tomorrow, and the nurse sister said that as long as I take the medicine and injections obediently, I can survive. My illness will be cured." The little girl saw that the boy ignored him, but Still whispered.

After all, she is still very scared. Tomorrow, she will lie on the cold laboratory table again, and she will need many injections and possibly surgery.

The scalpel is cold.

"The nurse sister promised me that she would take me to eat dessert after the operation, so I will try my best to be obedient."

"It doesn't matter even if you die." The boy said suddenly while sitting by the window, the wind blew his black hair.

The girl hugged the doll and stared blankly at the boy who stepped on the window sill. The boy's eyes were cold, and there was no expression on his face.

"I said...it doesn't matter even if you die." Huang Xuanjin turned his head to look at the girl, his black eyes were like cold obsidian.

"Is there anything you really want to do?" Huang Xuanjin turned his head and continued to look at the night outside the window.

The girl lowered her head and thought for a long time, then shook her head.

"Even if there is, can you do it if you survive?" Huang Xuanjin continued to ask: "Is someone waiting for you? Is someone waiting for you to recover? Those nurses who can only tell some pretty lies Calculate."

"It hurts." Huang Xuanjin continued: "Actually, you don't want to take medicine for a long time. You don't want to get a bunch of injections every day that you don't even know what it is."

"I don't even want to lie on the operating table in two or three days, and then be promised dessert by those sister nurses and take a walk in the evening."

Huang Xuanjin rolled down from the window sill, walked up to the girl, put his hand in the pocket of the windbreaker, then bent down to look at the girl, "If you can't hold on, there's no need to hold on."

"Many people will tell you that life is precious, but in fact most people just live their lives in chaos. Your life is no different from that of the 750th mouse or the 752nd pony."

"Even if you survive, the rest of your life will not be as beautiful as spring flowers blooming every day."

"So, it doesn't matter if you die."

Huang Xuanjin stood up, pushed open the door of the laboratory, and walked into the dimly lit corridor.

The little girl hugged the doll in her arms and stared blankly at the opened door.
