Peerless Young Master

Ten days later, in a restaurant in Hanshan.

In an inconspicuous place, a man and a woman sat facing each other.

The man had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and his features were extremely handsome. His eyes were slightly downcast, as if he was worried about something.

The woman was tall and slender, but unfortunately she was wearing a veil, so her features could not be seen clearly;

The two people are Li Xuan and You Meng.

Since being captured by Youmeng, Li Xuan has followed her to many places, at least three hundred miles away from Yunyao City. He originally thought that he would be captured and taken to the lair of the Shenlong Cult.

But the result was not as expected. You Meng seldom spoke to him along the way and took him to see some people, all of whom were ordinary people who were bullied by officials and suppressed by local tyrants and evil gentry.

Some were forced to pay high taxes, leaving only a small space in their homes, and their houses were taken away by the police, leaving them with no hope of survival;

There was a family whose daughter was spotted by a local tyrant and kidnapped. After reporting to the police, there was no result and they were left with nowhere to go.

Even worse, some people were arrested and tortured to death simply because they were too poor and affected the officials' mood for travel.

In short, Li Xuan saw many poor people who lived a life worse than death and were extremely embarrassed. Even staying alive was a luxury.

Without exception, those who joined the Shenlong Cult were people who had no food to eat and saw no hope of survival.

He knew that this was Youmeng's strategy to win over her, but he remained silent.

If you haven't seen some things with your own eyes, you will only think that no matter how hard life is, how hard can it be? Can you still not have enough to eat and risk being beaten to death when you go out?

Have.

And there are a lot of them.

Li Xuan saw all of this personally.

That's why he remained silent and didn't say a word.

Similarly, during these ten days, he went to many places where people from the Shenlong Cult were lurking in secret, and even some officials had defected to the Shenlong Cult.

This made him even more worried. Although the suppression twenty years ago had made the Shenlong Sect disappear, the Shenlong Sect's determination to destroy the country was still alive.

In the past twenty years, countless believers have been lurking all over the country, and countless innocent people have been forced to join them and become rebels.

Youmeng picked up a cup, turned it gently in her hand a few times, and looked at Li Xuan with a smile in her eyes.

She could feel that the other party's mentality had changed a little and was not as tough as at the beginning. Obviously, her plan was working.

"You've seen these days that so many people just long for a peaceful life. They're honest and simple, working hard on the land and paying taxes on time, but what happens in the end...

There are too many cases like this. What you see is just the tip of the iceberg. If it weren’t for our help, they would have been bullied to death by these people long ago.”

"I don't deny that there are indeed some evil people who hold high positions and do not treat the people as human beings. But you help them not out of kindness, but because you want to seduce them, make them believers, and expand your power."

"Isn't this good? It's better than dying."

"If you were simply helping these people, I'd believe you were good people. But you're not. You're just taking advantage of them.

Take advantage of their hatred for officials and hostility towards the country, and you can easily get a large number of loyal believers to help you do things."

"You are too stubborn"

"You are just lucky. If you had the same fate as them, would you still say that?" You Meng was not angry. Convincing a smart person is a difficult task in itself.

Li Xuan was silent. If things didn't happen to him, they were just stories; if they happened to him, they would be accidents.

"As you said, if you really want to help them, you should let them live in peace instead of joining you. Once their identities are revealed, their fate will be worse than death."

"We will definitely win," Youmeng was extremely determined.

have to……

If it fails, it means rebellion; if it succeeds, it means purging the emperor's court.

Li Xuan picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp: "Even if what you said is true, so what? Compared with the whole world, a few deaths are nothing.

You want to use these to convince me to join sincerely, but it's impossible."

In any era, there will always be people who are unhappy with their lives, or even extremely pitiful. You can say that society is unfair or human nature is filthy, or that the fittest survive and the weak are eliminated.

But compared to these, a stable social order is more important. At least it can ensure that more people can live a stable life and protect the right of the weak to survive.

When chaos comes, life will become even more difficult, just like the blue sky is instantly covered with dark clouds, making it impossible for everyone to survive.

But now, the Dahua Dynasty cannot be said to be a golden age, but it is also a prosperous country, and the people are thriving.

He is a madman and a devil who wants to drag the entire country down for his own selfish reasons.

You Meng sighed softly: "Li Xuan, you are a smart person, why can't you see through the truth of this world? With your intelligence and wisdom, once you join us, you will definitely achieve great things in the future and leave your name in history. Isn't that good?"

Leave your name in history?

That will be a disgrace forever.

Li Xuan was disdainful and said seriously: "I can achieve great things and leave my name in history even without relying on you."

Youmeng's beautiful eyes suddenly shrank, as if she had lost her patience: "Li Xuan, I treat you as a good friend, so I tried to persuade you, don't refuse my toast and drink the penalty wine;

Do you know that once I take you back, the leader will not be as easy to talk to as I am, and you will not have any right to refuse him."

"Aren't you afraid that I'll bite my tongue and kill myself, leaving you with nothing?"

"You won't. If you really wanted to die, you wouldn't have gone against me several times and almost made me fail." Youmeng was very sure of this.

Li Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly. He would certainly not commit suicide. It would be too absurd to die like this after finally getting a second life.

Being an ordinary citizen, a bandit, a martial arts master, or a rebel is just an identity.

"Aren't you afraid that I will join them, gain the trust of the leader with my wisdom, and have a higher status than you. Then I can ask the leader to reward you to me." A smile appeared on Li Xuan's lips.

"Do you think you have the ability to do this?" Youmeng was not angry.

Li Xuan remained silent again. They were a bunch of rebels, so how could they understand the truth? They only relied on who had the strongest fist and the highest status.

As for him, he is just a worker.

Then he asked again: "Do you really want to take me back?"

Youmeng didn't say anything.

………………

Deep in a dense forest, fallen leaves are flying.

There were two people standing in the forest, both with their backs facing each other, one hand turned into a sword finger and placed on the chest, and the other hand holding a long sword pointing upwards.

After a snap of his fingers, the man on the left moved, sheathed his sword, and walked like flowing water: "I thought the Holy Son of the Dragon Cult was very powerful, but I didn't expect him to be so unworthy of his reputation. He is much worse than the Holy Maiden. How boring!"

On the other side, Liu Ye, the Holy Son of the Dragon Sect, looked down at the sword scar on his chest, his pupils widening with excitement. "Who are you?"

"hehe"

The man laughed and walked away.

After a while, Liu Ye groaned and half-knelt on the ground. This man was very powerful and was definitely a master on the list of outstanding people.

After a while, he disappeared. When he appeared again, he was already in a courtyard, having changed his clothes, as if nothing had happened.

"Greetings to the Son of God!" A believer came hurriedly with a letter in his hand.

"Who sent it?" asked the Son of God.

"It's the Saint"

"Master is in retreat, give it to me."

Liu Ye took the letter and was about to open it when he heard the believer say, "Sir, there is news that there is a suspected tomb of Pure Yang Zhenren in Lingyun Mountain."

"Is this news true?" Liu Ye's breathing suddenly tightened.
