In a person's life, there will be several time nodes of great regret.

The more remorse, the deeper the obsession, and the accumulation of causes and conditions on it, the evil thoughts will eventually overwhelm a person's spirit.

"Prime Minister Zhang, do you have any shortage?"

The cherry blossoms were scattered like snow, Wu Shuyang's figure sank in the dark night, he answered casually.

Under the tree, there are countless bloody corpses lying vertically and horizontally, and they died neatly on the way towards the cherry tree, and the dead state of falling towards the tree is like worship.

This is the eighth time Zhang Yongqing went back in time.

Backtracking for the first time, he prepared guards to guard under the tree, only waiting for Wu Shuyang to appear and rush up, but there was still no one on the tree after guarding for a long time, until there was a loud laugh in the air, and when he looked up again, Zhang Yongqing had been pierced through the heart by a sharp knife.

Before his consciousness died, he went back in time again.This time, he was covered with guards on the eaves and under the trees, and he himself stood in the courtyard waiting for Wu Shuyang's arrival.The night is silent - it is indeed too silent, this should be a feast of singing and dancing.

Zhang Yongqing turned his head and happened to see Wu Shuyang sitting on his seat, with a smile on his lips, his lacquer-like eyes shining brightly under the candlelight: "Prime Minister Zhang, but he is looking for me."

He drew the knife immediately, but Wu Shuyang moved faster, and saw a flash of cold light, and the next moment his throat was instantly pierced by the flying knife, blood spurted out, and a large amount of cold air poured into his trachea——

The third time, the fourth time... until, the eighth time.

"Prime Minister Zhang, do you have any shortage?"

Zhang Yongqing's eyes fell on Wu Shuyang's face, he was indeed handsome, with calm and snowy skin, restrained lip line, that quiet and noble expression, even his deadly enemy would covet a few glances.

But what's the use of looking good alone?

Others don't understand Wu Shuyang, only he understands that Wu Shuyang's arrogant wildness and natural aggression can't be washed away even by the moonlight.

From the first time he saw him, Zhang Yongqing knew that this man was a disaster.

In the 25th year of Jiading, civil servants from all walks of life in Huai'an gathered together, arguing about whether the salt and iron should be state owned.

The king of Huai'an was leaning on the side couch, his blue and white brocade robe was lined with snow-white—he didn't ask the princes to dress according to the rules.Zhang Yongqing followed the etiquette and didn't dare to look too much, but only lowered his eyes to the soft clothes hanging down on the couch in front of him.

On a spring day, the wind was cold, blowing in from the round window behind the couch, the King of Huai'an immediately coughed a few times.

Amidst the voices of the courtiers arguing, Zhang Yongqing caught a sound of subtle footsteps, and a pair of tight and nimble black boots with silver patterns stepped out from his side.

This man's actions are like the wind passing by Lisson.The delicate cloud patterns on the hem of the dark brocade garment fluttered with his steps, like clouds passing by in a long night.

Zhang Yongqing raised his eyes quietly, just happened to watch the person who came to put on a light cloud satin shirt for King Huai'an, and then stood aside with his eyes closed.

The courtiers present stopped talking.

What a system.

This person was always by his side, entered and exited with the King of Huai'an, and even did not shy away from the internal affairs of the court, which had long been discussed by the government and the public.

King Huai'an was also unaware of the strangeness on the court, and with his backhand he picked up the cloud light shirt that Wu Shuyang put on him, with a warm smile, he looked up at him: "What do you think of Zijue?"

Such a young man knows nothing about salt and iron.

Zhang Yongqing disagreed.

The young man lowered his eyebrows: "My king is Qingming, Huai'an is Qingping, Zijue dare not speak rashly."

The king of Huai'an lowered his head and smiled softly, his eyes were full of soft colors: "This is not a false statement. Zijue is smart, and he should give advice and suggestions for me in Huai'an."

The young man named Zijue glanced around, his gaze was calm and steady, but Zhang Yongqing knew that he was deliberately restraining his sharpness.

"Don't be afraid. But it doesn't matter."

"Zijue believes that there is no good or bad strategy, but it depends on the current situation. Whether salt and iron is privately owned or state-owned, it all depends on the current situation."

"Bold! The state of Chu is also run by the state of salt and iron. Don't tell me you're a child with a yellow mouth. You can't disobey the king of Chu." Someone in the crowd objected immediately.

The king of Huai'an immediately interrupted the outspoken minister: "Don't be anxious, Liu Aiqing, and let Zijue finish speaking, and it's not too late to discuss it."

Wu Shuyang didn't look angry. To be precise, although he was young and handsome, the wind carried not only a blade, but also a carefully held blade that did not show its sharpness. Only when he thought carefully could he read the words from his calm black eyes. Conquer and attack.

He is not as gentle and uncontested as he appears on the surface.

"Salt and iron state management is really good. When the national treasury of the sages was empty, they used this national policy to gather the hearts of the people, fill the treasury, and establish a peaceful and prosperous world for hundreds of years..."

Zhang Yongqing quickly understood his thoughts. If it was a troubled time, it would need to be nationalized for unified planning. If it was a prosperous time, there is no need to be afraid, and the competition can be let go.

His explanations are clear, well-quoted and persuasive.A group of ministers had been arguing about black and white matters for a long time, but his words clearly clarified them.

Zhang Yongqing agreed with him, but he felt uncomfortable and didn't intend to agree.

King Huai'an's expression was undisguised.As if admiring some masterpiece, he turned his head to look at Zijue, with a ecstatic and soft smile on his face, like warm spring water, inexplicably touching.

Zhang Yongqing immediately closed his eyes.

After finishing his speech, the King of Huai'an said, "Do you have any objections?"

The courtiers looked left and right, with distressed expressions on their faces.

"Then, just do as Zijue said."

Zhang Yongqing couldn't hold back immediately, joined his hands together to remonstrate: "Forgive me for speaking bluntly, this person has no official or title, is it too child's play to convey it after making false comments?"

"What Zhang Qing said is reasonable."

All the officials joined hands and waited for the king to take back the order.

"——Zijue has no official title, and it is indeed inconvenient to move in and out. If this is the case, how about sealing the palace to offer wine?"[2]

His original intention was to let this person no longer participate in political affairs, so he jumped the dragon gate instead.

"No!"

Zhang Yongqing blurted out, knowing that he had made a slip of the tongue, he hastily added: "Dr. Gong Shangshu, Dr. Liyue, and Dr. Yi, even the youngest ones are still in their thirties, and the doctors have studied under everyone and travel to various countries to be able to convince the public. this……"

Zhang Yongqing glanced at him, but he really didn't know how to call him, "You are still young, suddenly sealed the palace to offer wine, and lead all the doctors, it is really..."

"That's a reasonable statement." King Huai'an nodded, "Although Zijue is extremely intelligent, but he hastily granted the title, I'm afraid you doctors will be deeply humiliated."

Zhang Yongqing breathed a sigh of relief.

"I can't sacrifice wine in the palace, so I should be named Huben Zhonglang General. Zijue is familiar with me, and it's okay to entrust him with the job of the guard."[2]

Zhang Yongqing: "..."

He stopped the palace sacrifice wine who had no power to discuss politics, but he never thought that he would be promoted to the powerful general of Huben Zhonglang instead.

Zhang Yongqing stood on one side, quietly clenched his fists.

He was born in a declining gentry, studied hard for decades, and traveled to several countries. During this period, he received countless stares, ridicule, and neglect. He emerged in the Zigui Pavilion of Huai'an State, and then reluctantly became an official in Huai'an State.

Over the past few years, he has been conscientious and conscientious. During rare snow disasters, he has been undressed several times, and even visited the disaster area in person on nine cold days.Since then, he has suffered from a winter cough.

However, this person called "Zijue" was famous in Huai'an country at the age of nine, and was even favored by the king of Huai'an.

17 is old.

He remembered that when he was 17 years old, he went to the State of Lu to ask for a teacher. He was ridiculed by others, and was even swept out of the house by others with a broom, ridiculed all over the street.

Zhang Yongqing's nails almost gouged out and hurt him deeply.

"Okay, there's no need to discuss this matter any more, just do as Zijue said."

Why, why Wu Zijue could rise to the top without suffering, and even allowed to comment on the government before he was weak.

The king of Huai'an raised his hand, Wu Zijue, the new Huben Zhonglang, took his elbow and helped him up.

All the ministers bowed and sent the two off respectfully.

"Prime Minister Zhang, this..."

"It's still controllable." Zhang Yongqing said reluctantly.

However, the situation soon got out of control.Huben Zhonglangjiang is just the beginning.

At the age of 20, he was granted the title of General Dingnan, and he went on several expeditions and triumphantly returned several times; at the age of 23, he relinquished his military power, and became the head of the three princes;

Gradually, many court officials asked Wu Zijue's opinion directly, bypassing him as the head of the officials.What annoyed him even more was that, nine times out of ten, Wu Zijue had the same views as the King of Huai'an, and his objection of worrying about the country and the people was made like a clown by this pair of He Mingjun and his ministers.

Wu Zijue's journey went very smoothly.

And this man, with hundreds of pairs of courtiers staring at him, couldn't find anything wrong, until he went to Chu as an envoy, and he saw the former Ling Yin of Chu who came to retire and return home. His eyebrows and eyes were almost exactly the same as Wu Zijue's. . [3]

At that moment, he knew his chance had come.

He began to pave the way openly and secretly, seizing every opportunity to exaggerate to the King of Chu how talented Wu Zijue is and is deeply loved by the people; Partial favor.

He has always been upright and loyal, and he is the veteran of the two dynasties. The trust of the king of Chu or the king of Huai'an is his best weapon.

After going back and forth, more and more reprimanding letters from Chu State came, while the replies from Huai'an State became shorter and shorter one by one.

Finally, as soon as "Cheng Jue" came out, whether the King of Chu could bear it or not, Zhang Yongqing saw that the time was right, and sent a confidential letter to reveal the secret of Wu Zijue's life experience, and then informed the King of Huai'an that Chu State knew Wu Zijue's true identity and intended to assassinate him.

The two countries are on the verge of breaking out.

Wu Zijue felt deceitful and opposed sending troops, while King Huai'an was concerned about it and was in a state of confusion, unable to calm down at all.

That was the only time that King Huai'an and Wu Zijue disagreed to the left.

Zhang Yongqing is confident that King Huai'an will not listen to the suggestion of not sending troops.He had already tampered with the documents sent by the King of Chu, claiming that this time he would take the head of the "Cheng Jue Meiyu" in "Cheng Jue".

Sure enough, the King of Huai'an immediately sent someone to tie Wu Zijue and send him to a remote mountain fastness.

At this time, Zhang Yongqing expressed his loyalty and was willing to go out for the country, and on the day he got the tiger talisman for dispatching troops, the marching map of Huai'an Kingdom and the tiger talisman for dispatching troops were sent to the camp of the Chu army.

Huainan was prosperous and feudal, and since then there has been no king.

"Wu Zijue! I'll kill you!!"

After the ninth defeat, Zhang Yongqing finally collapsed.

"I killed you, I killed you!!"

He walked down from the banquet with the knife in his hand, roaring incessantly, and stopped in front of the guest on the left, the knife went in and out again, and suddenly the man pierced his chest fell down on the table before he could say a word.

There was a sudden chaos during the banquet, all the guests fled in a hurry in the small room, some cowardly even stepped on their own skirts, fell to the ground, and crawled to hide under the table.

Amid the screams and fleeing, Zhang Yongqing chased after him with a knife, killing everyone in sight. When he calmed down, blood was spattered on his face and hands, and corpses were everywhere in the hall.

Under the moon and the cherry blossoms in the evening, Wu Shuyang leaned quietly on the tree, drank the wine alone, and watched the farce indifferently.

With a flash of snow-white coldness, Zhang Yongqing stood under the tree holding a long knife. He was covered in blood, followed by a group of dry corpses also covered in blood.

"Wu Zijue!"

"Wu Zijue - I, I killed them, and now, they are all under my command! You still have to come and lead them to death!"

Zhang Yongqing pointed the tip of the knife at the person in the tree and began to laugh wildly.He didn't bring it up in one breath, and immediately spurted out a big mouthful of blood. He gasped for breath, wiped away the redness on his jaw, and there was endless hatred and evil in his eyes.

"Where did you get the illusion."

Wu Shuyang leaned lazily on the branch, his figure was lazy and graceful, he played with the wine cup in his hand without even lifting his eyelids.

Zhang Yongqing was startled.

"Clean it up."

The ghosts and ghosts standing under the tree all turned around and stared at Zhang Yongqing.

Zhang Yongqing drives these ghosts with hatred and resentment. Every time he kills a person, he can see with the naked eye a huge bloody evil spirit bursting out of his body and getting into the dead body in front of him. Now, Wu Shuyang is able to control the ghosts with ease, but when they surround him At that time, Zhang Yongqing did not feel the slightest evil spirit.

It was as if they were willing to surrender.

The expression on Zhang Yongqing's face was stunned, he almost had no time to react, and was overwhelmed by the corpses he personally slashed.

……

Can't remember how many times.

Zhang Yongqing supported the ground with a knife, barely standing still.

If the martial arts failed, he intended to punish his heart.

"...Wu Zijue. You command Jingchu under the command of thousands of Yin soldiers, have you ever thought that there are your distant relatives, or colleagues and old friends of your father's generation?"

Wu Shuyang remained silent.He sat on a branch, and the breeze brushed the corner of his clothes.

Zhang Yongqing was very proud: "You went up the river until you reached the state of Chu. The first battle was the Jingjiang painting boat, which didn't know the hatred of subjugation. But you still know the boatman on the painting boat who was eaten to death by corpses? Oh, I don't know." It's really normal, when he risked his life to rescue you from Lingyin's residence, you were only nine years old, and it's not uncommon for you to have blurred memory and not be able to recognize you." [4]

The wine cup fell to the ground, and the sake splashed all over the ground.

"You can't take it anymore? If I tell you that King Huai'an is also under my control, wouldn't it make you collapse even more?"

Wu Shuyang looked calm, but Zhang Yongqing noticed that his fingertips on the robe curled up slightly.

Zhang Yongqing continued to press: "That's right, he is also under my control. I divided one space into twenty small parts, and then divided each of the twenty small parts into twenty parts." , in this way, there are 400 full repetition spaces. Even if this process is repeated only six times, there will be [-] million same repetition spaces—not to mention, I repeated this process hundreds of times. Then, How long do you think it would take to find a you in these endless spaces—”

His throat was suddenly choked, blocking his subsequent sarcastic words.

It was raining heavily, and Wu Shuyang's figure was hidden in the painful rain, only his flickering eyes could be seen clearly.

"You..." Zhang Yongqing's voice came out of his throat, "Jian Qingyang's... the rest of his life, let's live in the repetition space!"

He couldn't stop laughing.

"You are really hopeless." Wu Shuyang's emotions fluctuated rarely, "I planned to spare you this time."

His knuckles were white, and all the joints buckled from the force.

Zhang Yongqing's eyes rolled out, he subconsciously grabbed Wu Shuyang's arm, and breathed hard: "You...you just strangled me to death! He also——!"

The second half of Zhang Yongqing's sentence was completely overwhelmed by Wu Shuyang's strength.

He pinched Zhang Yongqing's neck so hard that he trembled a little.

pouring rain.

The rain is really cold.

It turns out that all of this is Zhang Yongqing's conspiracy to lock him in the time cycle and Qingyang in the repeated space, so that the two will never see each other.

An extremely cruel malice rose from his heart, and his eyes turned crimson little by little until they looked like blood moons.

"You...what do you want to do!"

Zhang Yongqing's pupils narrowed sharply, he frantically tore at Wu Shuyang's wrist armor, and kicked his feet on the ground. Before he died, he even had hallucinations——

"how can that be……"

The rain falling on Wu Shuyang suddenly stopped, and warm palms pressed against his trembling and cold shoulders.

Wu Shuyang was startled, his shoulders tensed unconsciously.

"Shu Yang. I'll take you home."
