Li Jian had a headache, and felt that she was getting more and more unable to understand what Zhong Licheng was doing.Since he is Qi Xiu's uncle, why did he treat him like this?Did he fix the alignment well, or did he fail to fix it?

"Axiu, let me apologize for you first. Zhongli and I are both your uncles. But due to various reasons, in the past 21 years, I have not fulfilled my responsibility to take care of you." Shu Huaiyuan looked at Qi Xiu with a serious expression, "Come to think of it, Zhongli didn't recognize you as a nephew when he saw you this time, because he felt ashamed of you and was too embarrassed to say it. Don't blame him for his personality."

"Why does he insist on driving Qi Xiu into a demon?" Li Jian raised his eyebrows, really angry.After all, his own cultivation was abolished because of Zhong Licheng.If it wasn't for Zhong Licheng's insistence on taking Qi Xiu to the realm of emptiness, he wouldn't be in this situation.

"I don't know anything about the devil world, so I can't answer you about this. But Zhongli is definitely not a villain, please believe it. You have golden locks on your body. He is worried that another devil will approach you, so he went all the way. Escort you from Xuzhou to Bingye, no devil will dare to approach you." Shu Huaiyuan looked at the two of them, "I will tell you about Zhongli City and Lingfeng Fort."

If so, after listening to Shu Huaiyuan's narration, Li Jian finally understood the general idea.

About 150 years ago, Zhong Licheng and Mu Xiangyi were hunted down by people from the demon world and fled to the human world.At that time, both of them were young, only six or seven years old.When Shu Huaiyuan's father Shu Qinghua and Yan Qiwei traveled together in the mountains and rivers, they happened to see these two demon children being chased and killed by demons.

Before saving people, Yan Qiwei was a little hesitant.Because he seems to think that the country is easy to change and the nature cannot be changed. Once he becomes a devil, he will be a devil for life.But Shu Qinghua persuaded him that the brother and sister were both seriously injured and were hunted down by the demon world, so they must have hatred for the demon world, not to mention that they are young and well guided, so they will not be enemies of the righteous way.

Because of these few words of persuasion and a little compassion in his heart, Yan Qiwei finally repelled the demon and saved the siblings.At the same time, Yan Qiwei felt that he had to personally teach the siblings to be at ease.Even if demons are young, they are much stronger than ordinary people, and they cannot be allowed to live in the world.

At that time, Yan Qiwei was short of an apprentice, and Shu Qinghua was short of a daughter, so Yan Qiwei took Zhong Licheng as his apprentice, and Shu Qinghua took Mu Xiangyi as his adopted daughter.

At that time Shu Huaiyuan was only nine years old.In this way, Zhonglicheng often communicates with Lingfengbao, and he grew up with Mu Xiangyi and Shu Huaiyuan.

Although Zhonglicheng is a demon, but because he has practiced the technique of Cangyu Temple, he has already suppressed the demon's breath, and he is no different from a human being.But for some reason this leaked out.Afterwards, news spread around the world that the Lingfeng Castle of Ye Kingdom was in collusion with the Demon Realm.

Naturally, Yan Qiwei couldn't let the outside world know that he had taken in a demon, so he relied on his prestige to claim that Cangyu Temple disciple Zhong Licheng went to investigate, and that Lingfengbao was innocent and had no collusion with the demon world.This matter is over.

Shu Huaiyuan's words indeed answered many doubts of Li Jian and Qi Xiu.

Out of curiosity, Li Jian asked again: "In other words, you are already 150 years old? But it is rumored that you are only 30 years old. Besides... you are just an ordinary person, how can you live for so long?"

Shu Huaiyuan said: "Zhongli has given me a lifespan by means of the magic world. To avoid suspicion, I changed my name and appearance, and even pretended to be my own son. The name Shu Huaiyuan is my newest identity. This identity has never been Inherited this position at the age of 17 and has been there ever since.”

"Extend life? But this seems to be against the law of nature." Li Jian frowned.

"Yes. This is probably one of the reasons why Zhonglicheng and Yan Qiwei didn't get along." Shu Huaiyuan smiled wryly, "Zhongli has lived for so long and has no friends. I am one of them. He doesn't want me to die, so he doesn't care about using the magic breath to save him. I will continue my life. It's just that... he used the magic breath again, which angered Yan Qiwei. Yan Qiwei asked him to withdraw this technique. But withdrawing this technique means that I will die. He is not willing."

"Could it be that the two of them are making such a fuss now because of your failure?" Li Jian asked again.

Shu Huaiyuan shook his head. "What happened to me is just a guide / fire / cable / right. I guess, in fact, in Yan Qiwei's eyes, Zhongli has always been a demon. Yan Qiwei has always had a thorn in his heart. He has always been on guard against Zhongli and never really trusted him. Him. In this way, in Yan Qiwei's eyes, everything Zhongli does is wrong."

"More than a hundred years ago, Zhongli's enemies from the Demon Realm found him and continued to chase him and Xiangyi. Zhongli didn't want to hurt Cangyu Temple, so he went down the mountain, and was later found with the demon. Yan Qiwei naturally thought he was betraying After entering the Cangyu Temple, I even thought that... he was chased and killed by the devil and was seriously injured at the beginning.

"I don't know exactly what happened. For the past hundred years, all I know is that Zhonglicheng returned to the Demon Realm alone, dealt with various forces, and has been protecting Xiangyi." Shu Huaiyuan paused when he said this, Looking at Qi Xiu again, "22 years ago, your father led people to attack Lingfeng Castle, and I fought against him for three days and three nights. Later... Xiangyi fell in love with him, and followed him to Zhou Kingdom, Then you were born."

"You—why didn't you stop her?" Qi Xiu couldn't help being anxious when he heard this, "A person like my father clearly used her to survive! I guess, the army he led lost to you at that time? If not My mother, he is afraid of dying in Lingfeng Castle!"

Hearing what Qi Xiu said, Shu Huaiyuan also fell silent.He clenched the teacup in front of him, frowning tightly.Later, the teacup was actually crushed by him.The broken tile pierced his palm, and the bright red blood dripped down, staining the white tile red.

Seeing this, Li Jian said, "You—"

"It doesn't matter." Shu Huaiyuan waved his hand, put it down indifferently, then looked at Qi Xiu, smiling extremely bitterly. "Xiangyi is very good. Really. She never asked me for anything. The only thing she asked me for a hundred years was to let me let Emperor Xuande go. So I agreed to her at the time. Later... Later I asked Does she regret it? She said no regrets, because she has you, Ah Xiu. If she doesn't regret it, what position do I have to say... I shouldn't have done that at that time?"

After Shu Huaiyuan finished speaking, Qi Xiu also fell into a long silence. He lowered his head, clenched his fists, and his arms couldn't help trembling.Li Jian had no choice but to reach out and pat him on the shoulder, chatting to comfort him.

Qi Xiu exhaled secretly, looked at Shu Huaiyuan: "Then you... do you know where my mother is now? Has she already..."

"I don't know. The Demon Realm has been unstable. Your mother didn't dare to stay in the palace for too long, and Emperor Xuande didn't treat her well, so she left. Don't blame her for not taking you with you. The Demon Realm has never given up on chasing her. It will be very dangerous for you to follow her. You are half-human, half-devil, and you have not been transformed into a demon. You stayed in Zhou Kingdom's palace and had the identity of a prince as a cover. Although you were young and hard, you are still safe She put a protective spell on you, ordinary people, such as Emperor Xuande, cannot kill you."

When Shu Huaiyuan said this, his expression was sad, he couldn't help closing his eyes, and opened them after a long time, "I haven't met her since then. For more than a hundred years, Zhongli has been alone in the devil world, and rarely sees me. Later, Xiangyi married Zhou Guo again. I think back when the three of us were young, we were all innocent and carefree. Only now do I know that the fate between people is limited, and there will always be There is an exhausting day..."

Speaking of this, Shu Huaiyuan seemed to notice that the expressions of Li Jian and Qi Xiu were too sad, so he said apologetically, "Sorry, I...seem to have talked too much tonight."

Before Qi Xiu came here, how could he have expected that his mother, Zhong Licheng, and this book Huaiyuan would have such a relationship.

That night, Li Jian chatted with Qi Xiu and Shu Huaiyuan until late at night.Several people changed places, held lamps in their hands, and later, tea was replaced by wine.The three of them drank and chatted with each other, and before they knew it, it was already the climax of the moon.

The next morning, Li Jian woke up and went to Qi Xiu's room next door, only to find that he was not there.

Li Jian thought for a while, then walked towards the small building where Mu Xiangyi lived before.

At the end of this path, there is the small building.But Li Jian stopped in the middle of walking.He looked up and saw Qi Xiuxiu standing under the crabapple tree.Qi Xiu was tall and straight, raised his head slightly, and was looking in the direction of the small building.

Qi Xiu's eyes were always starry, but now his eyes reflected the redness of the crabapple flowers, which made him look a little sad.

Li Jian didn't come forward because he didn't want to disturb Qi Xiu.He knew that Qi Xiu had received too much information in the past two days, and he needed to be alone and think about it.What's more, at this time, he went to see the place where his mother lived before, so he shouldn't disturb her.

So, Li Jian just watched Qi Xiu quietly walking to the front of the house, put his hand on the door, and pushed the door open after a while.Seeing this, Li Jian sighed for no reason.

About an hour later, Qi Xiu came out.At this time, Shu Huaiyuan also came.He looked at Qi Xiu and said, "The things your mother left are all there. Do you think there is anything you want to take away?"

After hearing this, Qi Xiu shook his head. "This house is very warm, much better than her residence in Queen Zhou's. I think she must be very happy when she lives here. Those things should accompany her and wait for her return. I don't care about anything." Without."

Shu Huaiyuan thought about it, but also smiled. "That's fine."

If so, this afternoon, Li Jian and Qi Xiu returned to Bingye together as a farewell book to Huaiyuan.

On the way back to Bingye by boat, a reminder came from Li Jian's mind - "Congratulations, Bingye's big dungeon is finished. Your experience should be 0, and your corresponding cultivation level is gone. However, seeing that you performed well, the system rewarded you with a little experience points, and you have 50 left."

Li Jian: "Hehe."

Xiaoqing rolled his eyes at him. "Don't 'hehe', by the way, and your appearance has soared from 140 to 500."

Li Jian couldn't help asking: "What does this task have to do with appearance? Why does the appearance value of this system increase so strangely? Do you have logic in doing things? Can you replace me with cultivation?"

Xiaoqing: "No. Farewell."

Li Jian: "...Wait, don't go. I still have a question."

Xiaoqing: "Okay, I'll do what I can, and give it a listen."

Li Jian: "When I crossed over, it was miserable at the beginning, but after that, everything went smoothly. You gave me such a high starting point at the beginning, but now you hit me to the bottom, what do you mean? What do you say?"

Xiaoqing: "Cough. Although it's difficult to go from extravagance to frugality, you'll be fine once you get used to it. It's just that the model is a little bit more difficult. Believe me, good times are not far away, good boy."

Li Jian: "...Get lost."

Traveling to Bingye, Qi Xiu just wanted to see if the thirty soldiers had arrived safely.He didn't plan to return to the second prince Qi Guang, and he didn't even plan to meet him.Naturally, he didn't want to have anything to do with Zhou's royal family.What's more, at this moment, Li Jian's cultivation base is useless, he is worried in his heart, and he is anxious to take him back to Qingqiong.

What Qi Xiu didn't expect was to see Su Yang waiting here.

Su Yang was dressed in a military uniform, with black iron stained with light, his facial features were resolute, and he had a kind of iron-blooded spirit.Seeing Li Jian at the side, she couldn't help sighing, no wonder she is one of the men who lead the heroine's strategy in the original book.

Seeing Qi Xiu coming, Su Yang seemed extremely excited, he stepped forward and knelt down directly towards Qi Xiu.

"What is this for?" Qi Xiu was very puzzled by Su Yang's actions.

"The general has learned from those thirty people. It was His Highness who saved them regardless of the danger. At this moment, seeing a lot of blood on His Highness, the general... I am really sorry, the general, I am so grateful!" Su Yang clasped his fists and said.

"It's okay. I still have something to do, I'm in a hurry to leave, sorry." Qi Xiu said, turning around to leave.

"Your Highness, please stop. Can you take a step to speak?" Su Yang took a step forward.

Seeing this, Qi Xiu looked at Li Jian, as if asking what he meant.Li Jianjian said: "You go. I'm fine."

"Yeah. I'll go back as soon as I go." Qi Xiu glanced at Li Jian again, and then walked aside with Su Yang.

Qi Xiu looked at him, "What's the matter? Do you want to tell me that my second brother must be very disappointed. Because I didn't die."

"The second prince has gone to negotiate with the envoy of Lingfengbao. This Fengcheng...is really still impossible to take down." Su Yang said, "But the general wants to talk...more than that."

"What do you want to say, just say it." Qi Xiu frowned.

"Yes. What I said...may be risking the disgrace of the world. But I still have to say this because of your tolerance, Fifth Prince." Su Yang knelt down to Qi Xiu again after saying this.

"Since ancient times in the emperor's family, it has been common for father and son to fight each other and brothers to fight each other. The general will not comment on it. Therefore, the general does not want to guess why the emperor wants to kill you. The two sides are fighting each other. Or it may be that the two sides clashed with each other, and there were many casualties... It is also common. This is the price for Jiangshan to elect a generation of Mingjun, and it is destined to be sacrificed. But—"

After a pause, Su Yang continued: "But now that the battle is imminent, the Son of Heaven does not care about the life and death of our soldiers, and is willing to give up three hundred of my soldiers to accompany you in the funeral. This is really..."

"The Son of Heaven is as good as that, and so is the Second Prince. My soldiers stand and die for this country, of course, this is our mission and responsibility. Our heads can be cut off and blood can be shed for the sake of the Zhou Kingdom. Die in battle On the battlefield, we deserve to die. But we don't want to die for the king's selfishness."

At this moment, Qi Xiu also understood.It turned out that Qi Guang's order to Su Yang at that time was to leave [-] people to accompany him to Lingfeng Castle and sacrifice to the devil Zhong Licheng.

It's a pity that they had calculated thousands of times, but they didn't expect Zhong Licheng to be Qi Xiu's uncle.Moreover, he traveled all the way from Xuzhou to Bingye to protect Qi Xiu.

"So..." Qi Xiu moved closer to him, "You mean to say that you want to submit to me?"

The author has something to say: 1. Explanation on subject: You will not be subject to the system all the time.In fact, I have read very few related articles, but I think it is very interesting to have a system setting at the beginning, but it is boring if the protagonist is always controlled by the system.

So at the beginning, Shou regards the world as a game and doing things as completing tasks. To some extent, he is also subject to the system; but there may be subversion later, when Shou has feelings for the people and things in this world, Naturally, it will not be done according to the system.

You can also guess what the system Xiaoqing became later on?Guess right, I will give you a red envelope~~

2. Explanation on Gong: For the development of the following text and the changes in Gong's character, the second volume has paved the way for a lot of Gong's life experience and places involving imperial power struggles.If you feel like throwing dog blood in your life experience (although I don’t think it’s intentional), um... please ignore it. Without these life experience attacks, you can’t become the behind-the-scenes attack (after all, the human world, the demon world, and the world of cultivating immortals can’t tolerate it. His, he has to find a way, um...so I have to write the part involving the human world), 23333XD~~~ um.

Then this is definitely not an article about imperial power struggles, not an article about power struggles, and it will basically not involve the part of palace fighting.
