Laughing at Chang'an

[If you see this letter, it means that I am dead.

After reading the letter, do as I wrote.First of all, you have to go to Geng Yan and listen to him explain to you why he wants to kill me.If he is unwilling to explain to you, it means that he has murderous intentions towards you, and you have to be prepared.

After meeting Geng Yan, if he is willing to explain to you, go directly to Xuetu to find Hades. You can ask him what you want to know, but don't believe it all, make your own judgment.

I have made a list of those who are available and sent it to your adjutant along with this letter.The situation in Chang'an has become chaotic, so you can't stay for long. You must integrate the resources of the Li family as soon as possible to form your own army.I know that you have an army in the Principality of Chutri. The Principality is located in the South China Sea, bordered by the Eastern Wilderness in the north, and it is an excellent place to stand.You can contact the South Sea Elf Royal Court, seek alliances, accumulate strength, and wait for the opportunity.

Geng Yan has extraordinary ambitions and has planned for a long time. Before the time comes, he must not confront him head-on.Chang'an is actually a malignant tumor of the dispute between Fang and Lu, and it can be destroyed by his hands. However, the Tang Dynasty must not perish, and the Middle Earth must not be allowed to fall into the hands of Geng Yan, otherwise the overall situation will collapse and it will be irreversible.

Geng Yan commanded the army to command An Day, that is, when the time is right.

Wait, wait, wait—

Tengyun went straight up thirty thousand miles, and Huang Quan held wine to congratulate you. 】

The flowers and trees in the yard were also well taken care of after Li Shen left.On a cold spring night, the last quarter moon hangs upside down in the sky, silently.A large piece of blank letter paper was placed on the cold stone table, and a red-glazed porcelain cup with two ears was pressed on the upper edge. Occasionally, the wind blew up a corner of it, rustling.

The person who seems to be soaked in the night is sitting at the stone table, like an illusory silhouette, which is particularly unreal in this lonely courtyard.

Humanity is the God of Killing in the world, Li Shen of the Geng Army in Chang'an, who is famous and mighty... It's all a joke.

The wind and the clouds are flowing, the years are like a river, and ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Chang'an is still the same Chang'an, with the smell of copper in the cracks in the city walls, and a river of blood flowing under the bluestone slabs. Behind the bright legends are mountains of bones and countless human lives.

Li Shen walked through the city wall and the long street, raising a knife and dropping it, year after year.He paved a way for the Geng Army to reach the sky, and gave himself an indelible reputation.

He personally lifted Geng Yan onto the miraculous sedan chair, but from then on he could only look up in vain.

Even so, he doesn't regret, doesn't complain, he just thinks that a man is born like this, to stab his brothers in both sides, and to go through thick and thin for love.Power, profit, fame, and desire are all fleeting.Sorrow, joy, bitterness, happiness, taste all kinds of tastes for yourself.

He is not perfect, let alone a saint, and there is ugliness in his heart, but he has never let this ugliness blind his eyes.Holding a sincere heart, stepping through the waves in this turbulent world, seeing all the warmth and coldness of human beings, the sincerity remains unchanged.

He lived upright and lived with no shame in his heart.

——But ended up alone, lonely, bitter, hurt.

………………

Datang calendar ninety-nine years, March 29.

"The night dew is heavy, sir, drink a bowl of soup to warm your body."

Li Shen sat in the courtyard all night, and the adjutant stayed by the side for the whole night. When the sky turned pale, he ordered his servants to cook a bowl of pork lung soup, rinsed off the offal, and carefully brought it to Li Shen's side.

The hot steam from the soup floated into the air. Li Shen, who had been silent all night, looked at the bowl of soup for a long time, and reached out to pinch the rim of the bowl.There was joy in the adjutant's eyes, watching him drink up a bowl of soup, he hurriedly said, "Are you hungry? What do you want to eat?"

Li Shen was silent for a moment, then said, "Porridge."

The clean white rice grains are cooked to a moderate thickness. The famous chef invited from the century-old restaurant cooks a bowl of white porridge with great care.The adjutant was called to sit down and eat together. After taking a bite, he glanced at Li Shen.

The chief strategist of the Geng Army has become a traitor, and there are different opinions in Chang'an.It is said that Lin Guo was crushed to pieces in Geng Yan's rage, not even a whole body was left behind.The adjutant was terrified when he told Li Shen about this matter, but Li Shen was extremely calm in the end.

When something goes wrong, there must be a demon. The calmer Li Shen behaved, the more flustered the adjutant became.

"Master, aren't you going back to Donghuang? I'll arrange an empty boat for you right now?"

"Need not."

Li Shen finished his porridge, wiped his mouth, and asked the adjutant, "Where's my knife?"

The adjutant was stunned for a moment: "You mean...the one that Geng Shuai gave you?"

Li Shen nodded: "Yes, bring it to me."

The knife was thrown in the trunk of the adjutant's car with the Shenjia before. The Shenjia was returned, but the knife was still there. The adjutant ran to get it. Li Shen stood up with the knife and walked out.

"Hey, where are you going?" The adjutant followed behind Li Shen, seeing that the man was struggling to walk with a crippled leg, he wanted to help but didn't dare, his expression was extremely tangled.

"Have you read Lin Guo's letter?" Li Shen asked.

The adjutant shook his head and said no.

Li Shen took out the folded letter paper from his pocket and handed it to the adjutant.The latter accepted it in a daze, and heard Li Shen say, "You don't have to follow what's written above. Li Mubai will take over from the Li family. The situation in the future is hard to say. You should transfer your property in Zhongtu as soon as possible. Fatty Gong It is indeed a good place. With the Argonauts, no matter how chaotic the world is, safety is guaranteed. Also, you can help me keep an eye on the Martian group. If you can save it at that time, find a way to save it... Be a mercenary There may not be a way out, let's turn it into a martial arts school, or teach Yang's how to open the sky, then you can ask Feng He to see if he is interested in becoming the principal or something."

The more the adjutant listened, the more confused he became, the more he listened, the more something was wrong, and the more he listened, the more flustered he was - why does this sound like a confession of last words?What are you talking about?

"Okay, what should we do?"

Li Shen walked out of the gate of the Li Mansion and looked back at the plaque on the door. It has been more than ten years. Compared with the hometown where he was born and raised, he felt that he was a "Chang'an native".Looking at the bright red door at last, Li Shen turned and left without looking back.

The adjutant standing inside the door suddenly widened his eyes, and he saw Li Shen's determination in his eyes. He staggered and chased out the door, but saw Li Shen walking towards the end of the street step by step with a knife.

"Master!——" the adjutant yelled heart-piercingly, but he couldn't return Li Shen's glance.

He fell to his knees sobbing.

The road from Gubai Road to Nancheng is familiar to those who are familiar with it.It was still early, the shops on the side of the road were busy opening, and there were no pedestrians on the road. Occasionally, vehicles roared and sped past on the road, leaving a fleeting afterimage.Along the way, there are ancient pavilions, small cornices, hanging horn bells and tinkling bells.There are also reinforced concrete, high-rise buildings, and the walls are like mirrors, shining brightly.The lady at the head of the room set up a small window, the villain over there spit on the ground, the old lady pointed at the street and scolded your canopy leaked in front of my door, the peddler said fresh tea and eggs, do you want to taste it?

Chang'an, Chang'an.

Li Shen walked across Chang'an Avenue with a knife in hand.

——What is right and wrong, spread all over the place.Talking about grievances and hatreds is no bigger than a bowl of porridge.Be sad about the impermanence of the world, lament about the unpredictable people...

Laugh three times, let's go.

………………

Seven or eight large carts were parked in front of the Geng Army Guild Hall building, and Li Xifeng stood beside him, directing his subordinates to carefully remove the coffins from the carts and transport them to the prepared mourning hall upstairs.The intelligence department of the Geng Army was almost paralyzed by Lin Guo. The news of Zhan Lan and others' accident was only discovered after a few days. to be later.

Of the nearly one hundred coffins, half were empty.This was the heaviest loss for the Geng Army in recent years.

Li Shen walked up to Li Xifeng, and instead of watching these coffins being taken away in silence, there were also three direct descendants brought out by him, and he handed them over to Zhan Lan in the hope that they would be fine... Unexpectedly, he eventually became a victim of power and conspiracy.

"Lin Guo is too ruthless." Li Xifeng didn't look at Li Shen, and he didn't necessarily say this to Li Shen, "I know he is always ruthless and will use any means to achieve his goals, but I never thought he could be so ruthless to his own people. .”

This is really naive, but Li Shen didn't laugh at Li Xifeng, who was involved in the vortex of conspiracy, and died without any knowledge and meaningless, no one would like to be a victim like this.But conspiracies are everywhere, and every moment, someone is plotting new conspiracies for their own power and ambition.

For example, Geng Yan.

Li Shen left Li Xifeng's side, and walked into the elevator hall with a knife. Several elevators were transporting the coffins of the dead. climb.

In the past ten years, he has also been like this, from a boy with nothing, step by step, climbing up the city of Chang'an.

Along the way, he met many people with all kinds of kindness and malice, overcame countless difficulties and life and death, and constantly gained and lost... The higher he climbed, the more tired he felt, The higher you go, the lonelier you feel.

Stepping on the last step, Li Shen took a deep breath and continued to move forward.The sound of the knife handle hitting the ground echoed continuously in the empty corridor. He walked to the familiar office door, looked down at his legs, Li Shen curled his lips in self-mocking, stretched out his hand and pushed the door open and walked in.

Geng Yan was behind the desk, with his back facing the floor-to-ceiling windows filled with morning light, and looked up in surprise.

Li Shen smiled at him.

"Why are you here?" Geng Yan asked.

"Come to kill you." Li Shen replied.

Lin Guo asked Li Shen to endure, wait, and accumulate strength for future affairs.But Li Shen didn't want to bear it, didn't want to wait, and didn't want to do anything great.

He just wants to have a good time.

Geng Yan's Qi-nourishing Kung Fu has reached the peak, even after listening to Li Shen's words, his face is still calm as usual.He put down his pen and closed the document in front of him, and asked in an extremely natural and casual tone, "Why?"

Li Shen didn't tell him why, so Li Shen drew out the sword and showed it to him - a long, straight knife in jet black, scrap iron without origin patterns, the names of the swords are in pairs, and it was a gift from Geng Yan.

Over the years, Geng Yan has never treated him kindly, giving him a car, a house, a knife, and an armor, only a woman.Being a brother is a model, and being a boss is even better, but it's a pity that thousands of words are turned into one sentence, so you are playing me for a fool.

Li Shen was unarmored, with a useless leg and a useless knife, feeling great.

Geng Yan frowned.

The straight and long scabbard whirled and slammed into the open door, making a dull thud. The knife in Li Shen's hand had already been swung out, flatly, at a distance of five or six meters, towards Geng behind the desk. Slash horizontally.

After a short moment before I could blink, the floor-to-ceiling windows across the back of the office burst open a straight gap, and countless small glass fragments exploded, turning into crystal clear powder all over the sky.

And Geng Yan stood in the flying crystal powder, not even a single corner of his clothes was broken.

In the Chang'an Great Arena, only Wang Zhen from Tianmen resorted to ecstasy with a sword, which shocked everyone's eyes. Now Li Shen used a useless saber to perform ecstasy with a sword, but he couldn't hurt half of Geng Yan's hair.

So, it's just a gimmick to get into the gods with a knife.

"You can kill me." Geng Yan frowned and said to Li Shen, "But don't force yourself too much, pay attention to your body."

There is nothing to say about the level of this ridicule. Li Shen was a little overwhelmed by the ridicule, and he kicked his feet forward like a cannonball. It flicked into his right hand, and it was in the same place as Li Shen's long knife.The knives and swords crossed against each other, their faces were very close, and a few strands of dark and golden hair rubbed against each other. Li Shen looked at Geng Yan, and Geng Yan also looked at Li Shen.

They looked at themselves in each other's eyes.

"For Lin Guo?" Geng Yan asked.

Li Shen replied, "For myself."

The floor under their feet collapsed around where the two of them were standing. Without warning, Li Shen let go of the long knife in his hand, snuggled into Geng Yan's arms with a low body, and punched the opponent's lower abdomen like lightning.

A big hole burst open in the floor, and the two fell down at the same time.There was a clear sound of bone cracking, and a drop of blood slid across Li Shen's cheek, and he caught the falling long knife with his backhand, and it landed firmly on the desk downstairs.The startled assistant secretary raised her head in a daze, and looked at Li Shen who was standing on her desk with a long knife upside down.

Geng Yan stood not far away, touched the blood spilling from his lips with the back of his hand, his eyes deepened a little.Li Shen's punch seemed light, but in fact it was a ruthless move that had been cultivated to the peak of the light fist. The source energy that was condensed to the extreme exploded at a single point in an instant, and with Geng Yan's altar power, it was only enough to protect his chest. The vital point in the abdomen was punched until he vomited blood.

Li Shen was serious and wanted to kill him.

Geng Yan suddenly wanted to laugh, and he really did.It wasn't that he was nervous, he just suddenly remembered Lin Guo's words before his death, the other party told him not to be too confident, but in fact he was not confident, he knew better than anyone else that Li Shen would show his fangs to him sooner or later.

But so what?

Geng Yan's figure disappeared from the spot, and he swept Li Shen backwards with one leg, a big hole was smashed into the wall, and Li Shen flew out of the building.Geng Yan glanced indifferently at the stunned subordinates in the office, and jumped out from the hole.

The sources and streams converge like the sea, in all directions, with undulating waves, Geng Yan stepped on the surface of the sea, looked up at the rising sun in the sky, the morning light was just right, and it was a sunny day.

He looked down at Li Shen.

Ten years ago, a mistake in one thought has now become a demonic obstacle.

………………

Li Xifeng was squatting by the flower bed smoking a cigarette, when there was a loud bang above his head, before he could react, someone fell beside him.The smashed soil and remaining flowers and leaves sprinkled Li Xifeng's face. He bit his cigarette with dull eyes, watching Li Shen crawl out of the pit and stand up slowly.

The light in the sky suddenly dimmed, and Li Xifeng raised his head with a stiff neck, and saw their handsome man standing in mid-air, staring down at Li Shen beside him coldly.

This... what's the situation?

Li Shen vomited blood while leaning on the knife.

The sea of ​​source and flow covering the sky and the sun above the head is colorful and full of momentum.Underneath the momentum is murderous intent, which is more suffocating than Hades' twisted field.Li Shen was holding a long knife, and his figure looked extremely small under the vast ocean of origin and flow.

Killing Yun Xiangkong relied on will and luck, fighting Hades gambled on courage and guts, facing Geng Yan, all he can do is desperately.

Li Xifeng heard a crisp sound, and then another sound.Crackling and crackling sounds continued to resound from Li Shen's body. The source energy condensed in his body has exceeded the limit that his body can bear, squeezing his bones and flesh and blood.

Absorb, condense, compress, compress, recompress...

He beat himself into a knife.

Although he couldn't see the surge of the source, Li Xifeng instinctively sensed that something was wrong and ran away from Li Shen. The vision here has attracted the attention of the entire Geng army. There were crowds of people, and the eyes of Geng Yan, who was in mid-air, and Li Shen, who was on the ground, were condensed with suspicion and panic.

Noisy and chaotic voices are asking - what's going on?

Li Xifeng, who fled to what he thought was a safe distance, calmed down and his expression became extremely ugly. Having felt the atmosphere between the two of them up close, he was keenly aware that these two were not joking, but a real fight to the death.

He thinks this is the biggest joke, even though it's not funny at all.

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind. With a pale face, Li Xifeng took a deep breath, raised his hands to his mouth, and shouted with all his strength: "Hey!—I have something to say! Okay..."

The next good word was exhausted in his chest, Li Xifeng watched in panic as a hurricane rose from the ground, and he was thrown into the air involuntarily.Everyone saw the light of the knife across the ground, like a meteor falling across the sky, fierce and bright, never returning.

When he glanced at it, his eyes burned.

However, no matter how sharp a knife is, it cannot break through the endless ocean.It's like a stone falling into the water, at most it will splash a splash.

—maybe not even a splash.

Li Shen's blade stopped in front of Geng Yan, less than a foot away, but it was an insurmountable moat.Winding blood flowed out from the corners of his eyes, nose, mouth, and ears. Geng Yan held the Bugu sword in his right hand and Li Shen's collar in his left hand. He stared at him unblinkingly. There is a vast ocean, and beneath the surface calm are vast waves and endless undercurrents.

"I promise you to stand shoulder to shoulder with the throne, and live and die together, as long as you accompany me to the end."

A cold smile slowly appeared on Li Shen's blood-stained face.

"Yes, I promised you."

As he spoke, he let go of the knife in his hand, put his arms around Geng Yan, and tightly, tightly strangled his arms.The slash just now was a cover, and the compressed energy broke through the last layer of restraint in Li Shen's body. He closed his eyes, turned his face sideways and buried himself in Geng Yan's golden hair, which smelled of nostalgia. .

Geng Yan finally changed his expression.

The whole city of Chang'an heard the loud noise from the south, Feng He was lying on the hospital bed, suddenly felt palpitations for some reason, and then heard the loud noise.In astonishment, he knocked over the vase on the bed, staggered to the window, and poked his head out to look at the source of the sound.

All I saw was a blinding white light, covering the sky and covering the ground, drowning my vision.

Yes, the direction of Gengjun Guild Hall.

………………

The Geng Army's earliest guild hall was rented on Danfeng Road, the three-story building opposite the Martian Mission.The first floor is the facade, the second floor was converted into a warehouse by Gong Yun, and the third floor is the office and residence of Geng Yan and Gong Yun.At that time, the Geng Army was poor and white, and Gong Yun, apart from being the general manager of the military division's logistics and taking half of the combatants, also had to work part-time as a second-hand dealer to make money.

Geng Yan set a three-year goal and hung it on the wall. The first goal was to buy a clubhouse of his own in Nancheng.For this goal, he shamelessly deducted the salaries of his subordinates, lowered the quality of food in the guild hall, and forbade Li Shen to drive a new car to burn Yuanjing when it was not necessary.The problem is that although they are not slow to make money, the speed of spending money is even more exaggerated, such as the upgrade of weapons and armor, and the war equipment that must be purchased in order to receive war missions... Seeing that the first item of the three-year plan is due to lack of money In vain, Geng Yan left alone for more than half a month, and when he came back, he had a bank card with a huge amount of money in his pocket.

Geng Yan solved the money problem, and Li Shen solved the land problem—he killed a mercenary who was doing an opposing mission during the mission, and was approached by the entire regiment of the opponent, so Geng Yan took the Geng army to rescue him, by the way Received the other party's inheritance.He felt that the original building was too ugly, so he overthrew the rebuilding with the money. As a result, he built the building and acquired new land at the same time. The land occupied more and more, and the building became higher and higher. Geng Yan pinched his fingers and said stop, not to cover it up, this is auspicious.

This is the building of the Gengjun Guild Hall today.

At that time, the Geng Army was still calling the shame-filled name of Black Prison. Once Li Shen and Li Xifeng were complaining about it, they suddenly felt impulsive, and the two of them ran to Gong Yun for advice. Very reasonable, with a stroke of a pen, the book contains the words Gengjun.That night, in the dead of night, Li Xifeng was keeping watch outside. Li Shen carried the new plaque and climbed up the gate. Halfway through the climb, someone asked: "What are you doing?"

I saw Geng Yan wearing pajamas, with a dull hair standing on his head, looking up at Li Shen who was leaning on the door frame in a very confused way.

The next day, Geng Yan personally hung up the new plaque.Li Shen and Li Xifeng, who were punished to face the wall all night, each looked down with two panda eyes, feeling both sour and relieved.

After the plaque was hung up, it was never taken off again.

Li Xifeng crawled out of the pile of stones clutching his head, staring blankly at the empty world in front of him... The building is gone.

——The building of their Geng Army Guild Hall is gone.

Among the ruins all over the ground, the survivors poked their heads out one by one in confusion. Some hugged their injured companions for help, some sat paralyzed on the ground, and some anxiously called their friends' names.Li Xifeng was dumbfounded for a moment, then struggled to stand up, looking around, looking for the traces of Li Shen and Geng Yan.

He found it quickly.

Among the ruins everywhere, there was an exceptionally clean open space. Geng Yan was sitting in the open space with Li Shen in his arms, and the two still maintained their tight embrace.Geng Yan's complexion was pale, and only a few scraps of the uniform coat remained, and the shirt inside was not spared either. Most of his chest and back were exposed, with no flesh and blood left.

Li Shen, who was supposed to be smashed to pieces in the self-explosion, was in his arms perfectly, and was stained into a bloody man by the blood of himself or Geng Yan.

Li Xifeng looked at them quietly, and everyone in the Geng Army also raised their heads and looked over.

Geng Yan slowly raised his left hand, grabbed Li Shen's head hanging on his shoulder, and kissed it under everyone's shocked gaze.He kissed Li Shen as if no one was there, and dug his five fingers into the other's messy black hair. His right hand, which had been blasted to pieces and only bones remained, locked Li Shen tightly in his arms like an iron prison.

The surroundings gradually quieted down. No one has ever seen Geng Yan like this. He has always been the spiritual pillar supporting the Geng Army. He is calm and calm. fall down.

No one has ever seen such a crazy Geng Yan, he even looks a little... fragile.

Under Geng Yan's crazy kiss and bite, Li Shen slowly opened his eyes.He was a little dazed at first, but soon, the luster returned to that single dark eye. He looked at Geng Yan who was kissing him madly, raised his hand and punched him.

Then, another punch.

Geng Yan refused to let go of the right arm wrapped around Li Shen's waist, the two of them fell backwards together, Li Shen's fist was grabbed by Geng Yan, he leaned over and bit the other's throat, Geng Yan grunted, Gritting his teeth, he tore him from the neck.The two rolled and fought on the ground like wild animals, and finally Geng Yan sat on Li Shen's body, pinching his neck with his right hand, panting ferociously.

Time seemed to go back to ten years ago, and he put the knife against Li Shen's neck like this, and cut off the other's head.

Li Shen seemed to have given up his resistance, and lay there quietly. He opened his eyes, but his gaze passed Geng Yan in front of him, and turned to the sky above.

——Li Shen was indeed distracted at this moment.

Thanks to the woman in Nanhai, he has more things in his mind that he didn't have before, such as the encounter with Geng Yan on the snow, the battle, and the ice-blue eyes like the sky at this moment.It was a very vague memory, and the last clear picture in that memory was Geng Yan cutting off his neck.

He remembered the story Li Mubai had told, and there was a very unsolvable question in it - knowing that wolves can eat people, why didn't the hunter kill the wolf in the first place?

"Why didn't you kill me back then?" He asked Geng Yan.

Geng Yan's thinking stagnated for a moment, but he quickly calmed down and asked, "You remember?"

"Ah."

This kind of deep suggestion has never happened before, and Geng Yan's brain is running fast, guessing what Li Shen remembered, how much he remembered, and how this incident will affect him...

"I never thought of killing you." Geng Yan said, "Never."

Li Shen was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

"You're lying." He said with certainty, very sure, because that's what his malicious radar told him so plainly.

It's all fake, Li Shen has an unusual sense of relief in his heart, and even some unreasonable joy, which has been bound to him all the time, Geng Yan's so-called friendship, his own so-called principles, those heavy pressures make him breathless The shackles are peeling off layer by layer.

Li Shen looked at Geng Yan who was silent and acquiesced, and slowly withdrew a sarcastic smile on his face.This is not something to laugh at, especially for himself, from the moment the truth was revealed, there is no one in this world who he can trust wholeheartedly.

"I won't kill you." Geng Yan said.

Not a lie.

But, it doesn't make any sense.

"You can only kill me, or be killed by me." Li Shen said calmly, without the slightest room for maneuver, and added a sentence of indifference at the end——

"Honorable, Holy Bright Emperor, Your Majesty?"

………………

Before the age of six, Geng Yan lived in the Great Bright Palace.His mother is the emperor's youngest concubine, but apart from a pretty face, she has no family background and lacks the IQ to survive in the court. It is already a miracle that she survived to adulthood.Fortunately, Geng Yan only inherited her good looks, not her straw head. She was extremely intelligent at a young age, and even learned to restrain her edge very early.

This is all thanks to the emperor who threw him into the Great Bright Palace as a candidate for the Holy Son. In the Great Bright Palace, Geng Yan met his lifelong mentor—the only powerful figure in the Illuminati who was not under the control of the royal family. According to legend, he is the great sage who is the spiritual leader of the meeting.

The old sage taught Geng Yan all his money, and even bluntly said that if Geng Yan was not the prince, he would be the next sage.As an unloved prince, Geng Yan spent his childhood, adolescence, and even youth in a stable manner. Then when he thought the time was right, he sent the old emperor back to the West with a dose of poison, and watched with cold eyes the two elder brothers fighting for the throne. Waving butcher knives at each other, they set off civil strife, and then raised the banner of quelling the chaos, killed the two of them together, and sent them to the old emperor to be buried with him.

When he ascended to the throne for the first time, Geng Yan was full of great ambitions, selecting capable ministers, cleaning up the army, cleaning up cancerous tumors, and enriching finances... However, when he was busy working hard to govern, in the city of Chang'an in the middle of the earth, there was a man named Li Shen's guy has already completed the glory of the left hand and the blood slaughter with the right hand.

Geng Yan's Ambition Overlord met Li Shen, a tyrant in the way, and the two had a great fight, which lasted for more than ten years.In the end, Li Shen sent his troops to the capital of the Western Continent, and Geng Yan’s rebels were helpless. After drinking a cup of poisoned wine, he closed his eyes, opened them again, and suddenly returned to the age of 20. He stared in the mirror for a whole day, and finally realized that it was God. Give him another chance.

——This time, he will not fail again.

After being called out by Li Shen, Geng Yan looked unusually calm. He pinched Li Shen's throat and asked him condescendingly, "Are you forcing me to kill you?"

Li Shen thought about it, and felt that what Geng Yan said was right, in the current situation, he must be the one who will die.This was also expected. Before coming, he expected that the best result would be to die together, but it seems that it can't be done.

When you die, you die. There is nothing to regret. It's too embarrassing to think about it.

"I'll count to three, if you don't do it, I'm going to beat someone up."

Li Shen joked, just like Geng Yan did to him on the snow.

"one two Three."

He punched Geng Yan on the side of his face, rubbed his body like a cheetah, and pressed the opponent to the ground. After all, Geng Yan didn't break his neck with his hands, but pushed him away with his knee.Li Shen rolled twice on the ground, wandering around from the corner of his eyes, stood up rubbing his neck, stepped back to a cracked wall, stretched out his hand to lift it away, and found his pitch-black handle from underneath. long knife.

He leaned on the knife and stood still, trying to mobilize the source energy in his body. The weak source energy flowed slowly in the severely damaged source veins. Every movement felt like being scratched by an iron brush, and there were air leaks and traffic jams everywhere.Although Geng Yan saved his body in the self-destruction just now and weakened the power of the self-destruction to the minimum, it was impossible to save Li Shen's self-explosion. About [-]% of them are still hanging on their lives. It's a blessing in misfortune that the strange energy didn't take the opportunity to make trouble.

To be precise, the alien energy has a parasitic relationship with him. If he is strong, he will be strong, and if he is weak, he will be weak. When Li Shen dies, it will also die.

Li Shen raised his head to look at Geng Yan, his dark single eye lit up with bright flames little by little, he was cornered, but his fighting spirit was boiling.

Let's fight.

Then let's fight.

The pitch-black long knife cut into pieces Jinghua Shuiyue Gengyan's astonished expression. Li Shen's figure was like a ghost. Driven by the fighting spirit and free from distracting thoughts, he truly displayed his terrifying fighting instinct. The moment the long knife was blocked, he was calm. Leaping up, the blade in his hand quickly rubbed against Geng Yan's sword edge, making a piercing sound. The next second, Geng Yan's eyes were dark, and he clasped the face door with his hands, and the flying blade flew across Geng Yan's face without leaning to either side. Yan's neck, Li Shen bit the back of the knife, and sent it forward fiercely.

It's a pity that the knife is too blunt.

At that moment, Geng Yan, whose head was almost cut off, instinctively called all the sources of control around him, and shook Li Shen away.The result of this was that at least one-third of the bones in Li Shen's body were broken, and Li Shen's only remaining [-]% ​​of the source veins that could be used were scrapped by the way.

Geng Yan, who managed to save his life, had a surprisingly ugly expression on his face.

Not far away, Li Shen, whose source of energy has been completely scrapped, is still shaking and struggling to stand up, but his only right leg is also bent at a strange angle... Li Shen knelt on the ground, holding the handle of the knife tightly with his left hand , raised his blood-stained face from the messy black hair.

In that eye, there is an unquenchable light.

Since childhood, Geng Yan has heard sages tell about the origin and beliefs of the Illuminati. The light pursued by the Illuminati is not given by gods or others, but comes from people's own beliefs and shines in the heart of the soul.Geng Yan himself has a strong willpower, and his inner beliefs are also extremely firm. He has practiced the secret art of light taught by the sage to an unimaginable height. However, whether it is before or after rebirth, the so-called shining in the soul He always scoffed at the light in his heart.

—until he actually saw the light.

This is really a terrifying power. In the face of this power, those secret techniques of light mastered by Geng Yan are simply like low-level tricks.It is invisible, qualityless, and does not exist or appear in any form, but it has been infected, bewitched, and possessed by it when people are completely unaware of it.

Geng Yan nailed the Bugu sword in his hand into the ground, and took a step towards Li Shen. He walked in front of the opponent, bent his knees, and looked into the opponent's eyes.

"bring it on."

He separated Li Shen's fingers on the handle of the knife one by one, then took them and pressed them to his chest, above his heart.

"I give you my life."

Pressing the cold and stiff fingers on the hot chest, the pulse of the heart was conveyed into the mind through the palm very clearly. Li Shen tasted the bitter taste of blood in his mouth and felt that Geng Yan was crazy.

No, Geng Yan is not crazy.

Geng Yan is a cunning and clever hunter. It took him ten years to patiently set up a trap of warmth and trap Li Shen in prison.He understood the contradictions and struggles in Li Shen's heart, played with them, and delivered a fatal blow at the most suitable time.

Li Shen can't deceive himself, falsely false the other's feelings, and deny his feelings for Geng Yan and everything they have experienced in the past ten years.

But it is impossible for him to choose to forgive, forgiving Geng Yan who planned all this from beginning to end, killed Yang Hingxing, and personally killed Lin Guo.

"In the beginning, I did want to kill you."

Geng Yan reached out and stroked Li Shen's cheek, and said softly: "You make me feel threatened, a very strong threat, I even have a premonition that all my plans will fail because of you...but I finally gave up, now, I am I'm glad I made the choice at that time, I almost lost you."

"Promise me, stay by my side, and accompany me to the end."

Here it comes again, the words that surround my ears like a curse, again and again, again and again...

"I told you earlier..."

While Li Shen was speaking, under Geng Yan's affectionate gaze, he pierced the opponent's chest with his palm, and pulled out the source core hidden deep in the heart.Five fingers dripping with blood slowly squeezed it into powder in the palm.

He showed Geng Yan a calm smile with a bit of relief and relief.

"I will accompany you."
