Yu Hongchen

Shang Lixing asked, "What deal?"

The big demon king said: "I can let my good brother withdraw from Nanling without hurting a single soldier, and the owner of Shangmen promises to do one thing for me."

"Make a deal...withdraw from Nanling...it turns out that His Royal Highness allowed his younger brother to raise troops in Nanling because of this idea," Shang Lixing heard this, suddenly, as if seeing the sun through the clouds, his mind was clear, and he murmured: "...It's so scheming that even my own brother is used."

"Ha! Brother?" The Great Demon King sneered and said, "I thought he would be an obedient little thing, but it's a pity that I raised him and disabled him."

She was talking about her younger brother, but she treated pets like they were teasing cats and dogs.Shang Lixing was suspicious for a moment. Before the demon king attacked Buchan Palace, he had sent his disciples to inquire about the origin of the demon king. He learned that the real identity of the demon king Jingfeng was actually the posthumous son of the previous demon king. Siblings, raised by her alone.How could she describe her younger brother with words like "raised and disabled"?

He thought to himself that this person's cold-blooded and ruthless had nothing in common with the generosity and benevolence of the previous demon king.After pondering for a few moments, he asked, "What does Your Highness want Qiushuimen to do for you?"

He said "Qiushuimen" instead of "Shang", because it is expected that the big demon king is interested in Qiushuimen's martial advantages, not him, Shang Lixing.

The Great Demon King knew it himself, and with approval in his eyes, he stated the condition word by word: "Find Nan Xing and the child he took away."

Shang Lixing snorted, then recalled the strange incident back then, thought for a while and said: "I have seen that child before, and I also wondered why the Yaozu lived in seclusion, leaving Nan Xing and a dying child alone 50 years of wandering outside."

The Great Demon King sneered: "Hmph! Back then, the human race ignored the contract between the two races and refused to save them. My father and queen mother were exhausted in the battle and died of hatred. The clan members fell apart and were separated from each other. They were forced to live in seclusion for more than three hundred years. This is what you humans owe me!"

Shang Lixing shook his head faintly: "But Qiushuimen doesn't owe you anything."

The big demon king turned a deaf ear to it, and said coldly: "Qiu Shuimen is also a member of the human race, each of you must be responsible for the death of my father, queen mother!"

Shang Lixing suddenly became angry, and his mellow voice was tinged with wind and snow: "Your Highness, don't make trouble for no reason! Although I didn't participate in it at that time, I also knew that the contract between the two clans only talked about peaceful coexistence, and never mentioned the deployment of troops. Help each other. Besides, your father has never asked for help from the human race, please don't push your own incompetence onto others!"

"What an unreasonable trouble!" The Great Demon King sneered, "In addition to the [-] troops on the south bank, I still have [-] elite soldiers in the Lianhua Valley of Xiya Mountain, ready to fight. Master of the Shang Sect, do the monks in the entire Nanling add up to [-]?" What about [-]? I can be even more unreasonable!"

Shang Lixing kept his face cold and kept silent. The Great Demon King laughed again and said, "My monster clan has been fighting hard and raising horses, keeping a low profile for 350 years. As long as I give an order, I can conquer the entire Nanling Continent at any time. Do you dare to take this risk?"

There was a silence in the study.Shang Lixing is the least willing to deal with this kind of person, just because this kind of person talks aggressively, and will turn his face ruthlessly if he disagrees with him. He is irrational and will not listen to other people's words. In some respects it is indistinguishable from a rogue.What's more, this high-ranking demon king must be used to giving orders in the demon clan, even if he talks about business with a foreigner like him, his tone is condescending.His rage caused the old wound to tear open, and with his mouth tightly pursed, he stood and sat with the big demon king, looking at each other coldly.

The cold wind slapped the window lattice, making a crackling sound, and the two people in the room looked at each other coldly.The attendant outside the door also remained calm.Shang Lixing looked at those twinkling eyes by flickering the candle, he was in a trance for a while, but he became sober after the pain, his first thought was: "These eyes are like those of Junior Brother Xie..."

The second thought was: "Where is Junior Brother Xie now?"

Thinking of this, Shang Lixing calmed down, shook his head and said, "It's not that Shang refused to agree. If he could find it, he would have found it 300 years ago. Nan Xing did come to Qiushuimen later, but he disappeared afterwards. I Together with Jiuzi and the others, they have been searching for 300 years, but they have not been able to find Nan Xing."

Hearing his soft voice, the demon king withdrew his aggression, and said calmly, "You Qiushuimen's power is spread all over the world, so it should be easy to search for a pharmacist without cultivation."

Shang Lihang still shook his head: "Finding a person who has been missing for 300 years is really hopeless, ranging from three to five years to decades at most. Could it be that the [-] elite soldiers of the Yaozu have to stay in Nanling for more than ten years? ?”

"The owner of the merchant sect is good at bargaining." Once the demon king said it, it was easy to talk: "This king can retreat first, and the matter of finding someone will be postponed for the time being."

Such a statement is in the hands of Shang Lixing.He cupped his hands and said, "Then Shang has accepted His Highness's deal on behalf of the Nanling people."

The big demon king said: "Okay. There are my subordinates in the demon clan's army, and he is in charge of the military power and command. You can just connect with him, and then leave my brother to me."

Shang Lixing nodded slowly, secretly planning a plan in his heart.

After the demon king finished speaking, he got up and was about to leave: "Then the king is waiting for the good news from the owner of the Shang sect at Xiya Mountain. Please—"

"Slow!" Shang Lixing said suddenly.

"Huh?" The demon king stopped by the table and let out a puzzled sound.

Shang Li was sure about his travels, and said sternly, "The sky is dark and the road is slippery, Your Highness, walk slowly."

The demon king laughed, and said, "Lansing, let's go." The figure didn't move, but a gust of north wind knocked the door bolt open with snow, blowing into the study, the candlelight flickered, the figure teleported, and it was already gone disappeared.

Looking up, I can see the vast night outside the door of Wei Yu's study, green pine and bamboo, thick rime, and a shallow gray and white footprint on the ground.

Shang Lihang had no choice but to close the study door again, silently covering his chest, and walked back to the desk slowly, sitting alone sadly.

He was just a little short of asking about thanking his junior brother.

Fortunately, there is still a point of reason.If you rashly bring up the matter of thanking junior brother, it will make people suspicious. It is a trivial matter for the demon king to know his weakness, but thanking junior brother's safety is a major matter.This woman is so moody, how could she know that she would not hurt Junior Brother Xie.At present, the relationship between the two clans is in dire straits, and he can't take this risk.

Although this bad guy was ruthless and ungrateful, he once admitted that he was just acting on occasion and never had a real relationship with him. Thinking about the scene of that day until now, every sentence is still heart-wrenching.But it is extremely impossible for him to let go easily.

In the early morning of the next day, a round of rising tomorrow, the sun hit the rime-covered treetops, and the snowflakes on the ground began to melt.According to the usual practice, Bai Xuan came to heal his wounds, opened the door and came in, and saw with clear eyes that Shang Lixing had changed into a black wide-sleeved robe, and was sitting at the desk with his head down reading a letter. She looked radiant.

Bai Xuan said pleasantly, "Sect Master, you finally want to open it?"

Shang Lixing smiled wryly: "If you continue to be depressed, I won't have to be the head of the sect anymore." Then he gently ordered: "Call He Suo to come."

Seeing him walk out of the shadows, Bai Xuan cheered up, put down the medicine box and opened it, took out the wound medicine, and recuperated the wounded body for Shang Lixing.Not long after, He Suowu arrived, Bai Xuan exited the study, and the two closed the door to discuss business in secret.

Shang Lihang was the first to speak: "What's going on over there?"

He Suowu replied: "The monster clan has been working day and night for three days, and has occupied 23 mortal towns. Thousands of monks have gathered to fight against the monster army in the coastal town. Aid. I sent [-] casual cultivators to support yesterday."

Shang Lixing listened quietly, and asked again: "What about the casualties of ordinary people?"

When He Suowu reported the battle situation to him, it was impossible for him to be as taciturn as before. He said sternly: "Although this demon king acts perversely and capriciously, he never attacks mortals, and all the people he kills are monks. He and other demon clan members The cultivation base is very average, only a entourage who is good at using demon fire is a little capable, but this entourage rarely uses demon fire to hurt people. Before that, he showed mercy to us several times in the battle of Bu Chan Palace. Ji Rou that time It's the same, but unfortunately I finally took a step slowly—" When it comes to the name "Ji Rou", there is a pause.

Shang Lixing was so engrossed in the battle situation that he didn't notice his emotional changes. He raised his two fingers, tapped the table lightly, and said a surprising word: "Last night, a woman came to our courtyard."

He Suowu didn't expect his elder brother to say such a sentence out of the blue, and his whole body froze for a moment, dumbfounded.

Seeing him stunned, Shang Lixing couldn't help smiling, and explained: "It's the great demon king of the demon clan. She visited last night and made an agreement with me to help us drive back the [-] army of the demon clan."

"Brother, what did you cooperate with the demon king?" He Suowu thought to himself: "I heard that the kid surnamed Xie was taken captive by the demon king. Could it be that this cooperation has something to do with him?" Thinking of this, he was slightly annoyed, It's not enough for this guy to stab the eldest brother with a sword, how long do you want to entangle with the eldest brother?My eldest brother has always been wise and unconventional, but he has repeatedly stumbled on this kid.He Suowu didn't show mountains and rivers on his face, but he was extremely dissatisfied in his heart.

Shang Lixing didn't know what was going on in his mind, he just revealed the battle plan he had thought up.He Suowu was afraid that if he cared about it, he would cause chaos, and the demon king would take advantage of it.Can't help asking: "Brother trusts that demon king so much? How do you know it's not a combination of inside and outside?"

"Should the inside be in harmony with the outside?" Shang Lixing was startled, and suddenly remembered the pair of Xie Liuchen's eyes under the glowing candlelight last night.Shaking his head decisively, he said, "Impossible."

He Suowu heard his tone of affirmation, thinking that he might be worrying too much.Putting aside all the thoughts in my mind, I quietly listened to Shang Lixing's explanation of the plan.

"The 2 horses are dispatched by the Great Demon King. You don't need to put troops on them. You just need to lead the Demon King to the position of Qiushuimen, and leave the rest to the Great Demon King. What you have done is to cut off the The person who tipped off the news, Yu Ji—" At this point, he paused, and then changed his words: "Forget it, let him rest for a while."

He Suowu nodded quickly: "There is no need to tell him, I can do it myself."

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Ji Qing's voice sounded outside the door: "Master..."

Shang Lixing and He Suowu looked at each other, and we could see the worry in each other's eyes.After a while, Shang Lixing coughed lightly, and said to the outside: "Come in."

Ji Qing outside the door pushed the door lightly, with his hair tied up and white gauze onyx, he walked into the study and greeted the two people in the room.He Suowu lowered his head and responded indiscriminately.

Shang Lixing looked up, and saw Ji Qing's eyes were red and swollen, his lips were white, and there was no trace of life on his face, only a pair of eyes were surprisingly bright.Ji Qing approached the table case slowly, and said to him: "Master, I want to go too."

Shang Lixing has known Ji Qing for 300 years. He has never heard him make such an active request. Knowing that he was greatly shocked by Ji Rou's death and his temperament changed drastically, he wanted to persuade him: "You can rest for a while."

Ji Qing shook his head, looked over, his eyes were full of determination: "Xiaorou often told me before she was alive, that in life, it is better to live vigorously and live out one's own way than to muddle along. At that time, I only thought that she Everything I said is far away from me. What kind of scenery and fame do you want? Is it not good to live in poverty and live in peace? Now, I don’t think so.”

Shang Lixing clenched his five fingers tightly, raised his eyebrows, and He Suowu raised his head in surprise, regardless of his guilt.

"I'm an incompetent brother. I have been relying on my sister for many years. She earned the credit and earned my fame and status. My brother will only hide behind her for comfort and be an insignificant person." .”

Shang Lixing's throat moved slightly: "Ji Qing..."

"Master, there is no need to persuade me anymore, I have already thought clearly these days," Ji Qing paused, and then said: "Now that my little sister is tired, I want to rest first, as an elder brother, I cannot help her What to do, let people look down on you after death. I want to inherit Xiaorou's will, replace Xiaorou, and live!" He still spoke in such a low voice, but there was a bit more firm determination in his tone, The brilliance in the eyes was almost scorching.

Seeing that familiar expression, Shang Lixing felt his heart was stabbed severely by a sharp needle.When Jirou died tragically in Xueshan, the one who was hit the hardest was naturally her elder brother, whose blood was thicker than water. He had already figured out how to arrange for this shy and reticent sworn brother, so that he could quickly get out of the shadow of losing a loved one.Unexpectedly, after Ji Qing was hit, his temperament changed to this point. Not only did he not indulge in sadness, but he seemed to be a different person.

Shang Lixing felt sore, so he had to take a step back, and promised Ji Qing: "It's fine, it's good for you to go out for a walk more." He whispered: "He Suwu, take good care of him."

"I know." He Suowu looked solemn, glanced at Ji Qing, and said, "I will protect him in the future."
