Yuan Tiangang was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "I don't understand what you are talking about, but you want to kill me... I'm afraid you are still a little short."

"Ugh......"

Su Qingjue sighed and said, "Do you need me to explain it more clearly, Marshal?"

"If my guess is correct, you started planning since the day you calculated the Dragon Pond Star Changes."

"Ziwei dies, Qi Sha arrives, Po Jun appears, Tan Lang is robbed."

"You calculated that Li Xingyun would die, and you also calculated that you ruined his life with your own hands."

"But Li Xingyun is in my Qi country and under my protection. Who in this world has the courage and ability to do something to him?"

"Because you asked Li Xingyun to come to Qi to observe the government, and I have ambitions to rule the country, Li Xingyun's identity as a descendant of the previous royal family is bound to become a stumbling block on my path to kingship, so after thinking it over, you think I am the one who best fits the hexagram."

"Am I right, Marshal?"

Yuan Tiangang didn't say anything, he just walked to Li Xingyun, picked him up and put him on the dragon throne.

At the same time, he transferred some of his internal energy into his body to protect his last chance of survival.

Afterwards, he returned to the place where the others had been drinking and sat cross-legged.

Then he filled his and Su Qingjue's wine bowls.

After raising his head and drinking the wine in the bowl, he sighed and said, "It's a pity that I can't taste anything..."

As he said this, he looked at Su Qingjue again.

"Go on. I want to see how many you can guess."

Su Qingjue came to the stone steps and sat down on the ground without caring about her image.

He drank the wine in the bowl and continued, "Since that day when I fought you to a draw, you already knew in your heart that you could no longer stop me from moving forward."

"Originally, you wanted to return to Cangbing Valley to live a carefree life, and you didn't want to stop me. You also hoped to see the day when the world would be clear and bright."

"But since you calculated that hexagram, in order to give Li Xingyun a chance to survive, you had no choice but to use the Longquan treasure as bait."

"You know, when the Longquan treasure is revealed, I will definitely come here in person, and then you will kill Li Xingyun in front of me."

"This not only fits the hexagram, but also dispels my worries. At the same time, it can also allow Li Xingyun to fake his death and escape."

Su Qingjue pushed the wine bowl in front of Yuan Tiangang and motioned him to pour the wine.

Then, he continued, "Although Li Xingyun's heart meridian was cut by you, and there is no possibility of survival, you must have prepared a backup plan to save him."

"When Li Xingyun wakes up, he will hate you but also forgive you, and from then on he will be relieved, completely let go of his burdens, and live the life he wants..."

"Wow!"

Yuan Tiangang filled Su Qingjue's glass of wine.

He said in a deep voice: "But on the surface, Li Xingyun is really dead, and there are only you, me and him in this palace. No matter what the final result is, you will be charged with the crime of regicide.

"By then, you will be another Zhu Wen in the eyes of the world."

"Hahaha!"

Yuan Tiangang burst into laughter.

He shouted loudly: "Even if you are very talented, so what? In the end... I still won... The one who won the support of the people was not you..."

Su Qingjue looked at Yuan Tiangang's face, which had already been completely changed beyond recognition and no longer resembled a human being, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Marshal, why do you want to die?"

After hearing these words, Yuan Tiangang's back, which had been relatively straight, instantly bent a lot.

“That’s where your brilliance comes in.”

"You have already made up your mind to use me to escape. Even the backup plan you left behind is related to your death."

Yuan Tiangang held the wine bowl in front of him and stared at the bottom of the bowl for a long time without saying a word.

Su Qingjue continued: "Marshal, is what I said correct?"

Yuan Tiangang put down his wine bowl and said in a deep voice, "Not entirely correct."

"Third, you are building momentum for me..." Su Qingjue continued.

"The fall of the Tang Dynasty is imminent. How virtuous is the Li Tang royal family in the eyes of the world... Perhaps, even if it is determined that I killed Li Xingyun, those ignorant lower-class people will only cheer for me."

"In the early years, Zhu Wen's assassination of the emperor was also considered a heroic act in the eyes of the people. I have even heard storytellers praise him for his kindness."

"However, under Zhu Wen's rule, the people still lived in misery, and Zhu Wen was indeed corrupted by his greed for pleasure, so he became so notorious..."

"Actually, what you said is not wrong. The people have suffered for a long time. If they knew that my behavior was similar to that of Zhu Wen, they might subconsciously regard me and Zhu Wen as the same kind of people."

"But you're not worried about that at all, are you?"

"You firmly believe that I will work diligently and love the people, and will work hard to make people all over the world live a good life."

"In this way, within three years, Zhu Wen and I will become two extremes. I will become a model of a wise ruler in the eyes of the people, and a living saint king in the hearts of the scholars."

"By then, any stigma against me will be explained away with reasonable reasons."

"Fourth..."

"Enough!" Yuan Tiangang interrupted.

He looked at Su Qingjue and sighed slowly: "It's been three hundred years, it's time for me to take a break..."

Su Qingjue fell silent.

"There are several rooms near the mountains and beside the water. It is safe to walk or sit.

A working ox has half a hectare of land, the harvest depends on heaven, and the famine depends on heaven.

..........

Sleeping till noon is not as good as being a god, but better than being a god! "

Yuan Tiangang murmured in a low voice the limerick that Su Qingjue had written for him.

His eyes were filled with longing and yearning for a free and unrestrained life, but in the end, all he could do was let out a long sigh.

"If there is an afterlife, I will never be that loyal bad guy again. I want to be... an ordinary person who can enjoy the iron flower and drink old duck soup..."

Yuan Tiangang raised his hand and sucked the imperial seal on the dragon throne into his hand.

He handed it to Su Qingjue with both hands.

Then he filled Su Qingjue's bowl of wine again.

Holding the wine bowl, his eyes were sincere, as if he was looking at his former best friend Li Chunfeng.

"Come, drink another bowl with me, just as a farewell to me."

"Marshal, please!"

"please!"

Yuan Tiangang laughed and said, "Haha, this is really good wine!!!"

Su Qingjue smiled to show his approval.

"Wow!"

The wine bowl fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

"As expected, if I want to die, I have to ask for it!"

“Ha…hahahaha!”

Yuan Tiangang's body slowly fell backwards, and there was no more breath from his nose...

Outside the stone gate of the palace, Jing Xinmo and Shi Yao seemed to sense something.

The Mirror Heart Demon was extremely sad. He knelt down and cried out in pain, "Master!"

"..."

Su Qingjue looked at Yuan Tiangang who was lying on the ground and committed suicide, and sighed again.

"Yuan Tiangang, don't ask for the next life, just live in the present..."

As he spoke, a ball of innate energy condensed at his fingertips.

At this moment, he suddenly said, "Don't hide, my lord. Come out."
