Immediately after the death of the master

I don't worry about her at all in a dangerous battle, just relying on the group of mad dogs under her command, even if she can't win the battle, there is no problem in coming back alive.

Thinking of this, I have nothing to worry about, Shi Shiran waited for the master to announce the final candidate.

However, Xiao Shizi spoke up, he was not asking for a job, he was asking a question.

"Well, I want to ask, what about the people in Huangquan City?"

As soon as Xiao Shizi opened his mouth, I knew something bad was going to happen.I don't know what's going on with Xiao Shizi, he's obviously not a scheming guy, and he doesn't behave like a shrewd child, but every time he makes a move, he will definitely hit my pain point.

Sure enough, Xu Yuque bit the hook and jumped out by himself.

"There are only a little over [-] people in the city, so we can evacuate them in advance."

Xiao Shizi continued naturally:

"Master Xu is right, but who will do this?"

Xu Yuque's eyes were full of eagerness, this guy couldn't rest assured that we would leave this kind of thing to our group of murderous rough people, and now he plans to do it himself in all likelihood, so as to ensure the lives of the people in Huangquan City.

But the question is, can he, a dead Confucian scholar, save the people of Huangquan City and his own life?

I coughed violently, wanting to remind this Xu Yuque who heard that people's IQ automatically disconnected, but I still hadn't had time, the big profiteer Xu who is usually in front of me is so stupid at this time, he said without thinking .

"If no one wants to go, let me do it."

I didn't catch my breath, this time I was really choked and coughed violently.

The little prince next to me couldn't help but smile in his heart when he saw me in such a mess, but his mouth was full of caring words.

"Oh, Nianen, what's wrong with you?"

I gave him a hard look, brat, if I come back alive this time, just wait for me.

Because of Xiaoshizi's words, everyone's eyes are focused on me, including the master.

After I was out of breath, facing the hole Xiao Shizi dug for me, I could only close my eyes and jump down.

"Ahem, just now I was touched by Xu Jian... Xu's self-sacrificing spirit, and I have a deeper understanding of the fearless spirit of whoever goes to hell if I don't go to hell," looking at the foolish eyes around him, I bite the bullet and say nonsense that I don't even believe, "So, I beg you, follow in the footsteps of businessman Xu, and go to Huangquan City with him."

When I made such a mess, Ji Qingshuang was so angry that she stomped on me under the table, waved her sleeves, and ran away.

It's over-

Now I really have to catch the ducks on the shelves.

The most suitable candidate ran away, and the master couldn't bear to let the Ninth Prince take risks. Huang Quancheng's mess really fell on me.

After the meeting, some other issues were discussed, but I didn't participate any more. I sneaked into Xu Yuque's side, took advantage of his unpreparedness, and took away his new fan. In my eyes, I said to him viciously.

"This time we two really went to Huangquan (Huang Quan) together."

"Is it so exaggerated?"

Xu Yuque took half a step back and whispered to me.

I gritted my teeth, facing this guy who was still smiling after making such a big mess, I resisted the urge to beat him up in front of others.

"You stupid scholar who doesn't understand anything, if you still want me to live to pay off the debt, just prepare your private money for me, and go hug the thighs of Lord Nine and Ji Qingshuang later. As long as you can get anyone People, our lives will be safe."

"You are a real person. Is it still a problem to solve things that can be solved with a little money? Do you think I am someone who will be short of this money~"

Xu Yuque shunned his new fan back, smiling so hard that his teeth couldn't see.

I want to hit this guy even more, when the meeting is over, look at me—

You see I still haven't been beaten.

After the meeting, the master sent everyone away, except me.

My scalp tingled, and I had a premonition that the master was planning to settle the old and new scores together.

After everyone left, only darkness and loneliness remained in the master's tent.The master sat in the shadows where the candlelight could not reach, and I stood where the light was brightest.

He sees the light in the dark, and can see all the details of my expression clearly; I see the darkness in the light, and can only vaguely outline his outline.

"Kneel down."

The voice of the master came from the shadow of ghosts and ghosts. I bent my legs and knelt on the stone ground without hesitation.

There was a rustling sound in the darkness, and the master stood up after picking up something.He blew out all the candles in the tent, and the light in front of him gradually disappeared until the world fell into complete darkness.Finally, I was in the same darkness as him.

And before the lights went out, I saw what he was holding in his hand—a long whip.

There are barbs on the whip, shining with a sharp cold light.I am very familiar with this whip. Seven years ago, when the two of us had the best relationship, this whip often greeted me.I used my body to engrave all the pain my master brought me, and I clearly remember how this whip whipped me so bloody.

The irony is that during the past seven years, my master and I have gradually separated from each other. He knows that I have been making small moves behind my back, and I know that he has concealed many things from me, but he has never lynched me again.

Now, can I finally relive this pain?

The master walked around behind me, brushing the back of my neck with slightly cold fingers.

"Li Nianen, do you know where you are wrong?"

The master's voice was colder than his fingers. In this coldness, I deeply reflected on my mistakes last night.

"The little one shouldn't point the sword at the master."

"wrong."

The barbed whip cut through the air and lashed hard on my back.I took a deep breath and continued.

"I shouldn't regard Ji Sanqing as more important than my master."

"wrong."

It was another whip, and there was no emotion in the master's voice.

"I shouldn't be fighting against Xiao Shizi."

"wrong."

……

The master's eyes have long been used to the darkness, and in the invisible military tent, he regards the darkness as nothing, and every time he whips, he hits my back accurately.

I said more than a dozen mistakes, what should be said, what should not be said, I said everything, and the master's response was only two simple words - no.

Later, I stopped talking. I felt that whatever I said was wrong, and the master would not stop.He just wanted to take this opportunity to punish me.

But the strange thing is that after my words stopped, the master's whip also stopped.

In the darkness, blood spilled from the wound on my back and dripped to the ground, making the sound of dripping water.

The master's breath behind him was messy. Judging from his breath, he was already showing signs of fatigue.It's just a few lashes, and before I, the victim, falls down, he, the executioner, is already exhausted.

It seems that the old emperor's poison is still somewhat useful. After that poisoning, his body plummeted.A few years ago, he could still drink spirits, ride a steed, and pull a strong bow, but now he is half a useless person.

The master gasped heavily, he threw away the whip, lifted up his clothes, and sat down on the spot.His broad back was leaning against my bruised back. This feeling was undoubtedly adding salt to the wound, and I let out a muffled grunt.

The two of us stood back to back in this dead silence, blood staining each other's clothes.

I have lived with this man for nine years. We have lived in a beautiful day like a dream, and we have also fallen into a real hell with no sky.

Since we met, we shared the same robe and rode the whip, and survived battles of blood and fire time after time.

We even know each other better than we know ourselves.

I sighed and confessed to him.

"Master, I really don't know what else I did wrong."

The master took my hand silently, he inserted his fingers between my fingers, and the two of us intertwined our fingers tightly.After throwing away the whip, he took my hand in a soft palm, his hand was not warm, but it was very generous.

After a long time, he sighed and revealed his thoughts in front of me.

"You don't love yourself so much, Li Nian'en, why do you always push yourself to the point of no return, just like the first time, isn't it good to be a villain who is greedy for life and afraid of death?"

"Master," I smiled wryly, with a hint of sadness in my laughter, "I couldn't do it a long time ago..."

Yeah, I can't do it.

I can't be the me you love the most, and you can't be the you I love the most.

Instead, we became the most hated people for each other because of our love for each other.

The master rested his head on my shoulder, his soft hair was not irritating, his voice was extremely soft, ethereal like a veil floating in the air.

"Do you know? Li Nianen, half of my current situation is caused by you."

"Master was joking, little one—how can you be so good."

I chuckled out loud, with a slightly raised tone at the end.

The ground was extremely cold, and each other's backs were the only warm existence, and our clothes were glued together by blood, making it impossible to separate.

The master stood up, our backs are already connected by flesh and blood, everyone who wants to separate must peel off the skin on his back, when he leaves me, his clothes leave my freshly healed wound, his clothes My body is stained with my flesh and blood, my wounds burst out with fresh blood, and the wounds must be healed again.

I had to go through another bone-eroding injury.

At this moment, he is not the omnipotent Eighth Prince, not the sword finger
