Chapter 40 (5)

Nangong Xue said: "Yes, he is also one of the participants. How could it be so easy to ask the emperor to endure him calmly? Now he is just expelled from the palace, and Zuxian still cares about his son. If it were others, even if they could not implicate the nine clans, I would definitely be unable to escape death." Li Yijie murmured to himself: "No wonder he suddenly proposed to join the martial arts alliance...No wonder he would never have to go back to the palace...No wonder he would say that the emperor would never forgive him...It turns out that this is the truth...It turns out that this is the truth..."

Nangong Xue said: "He is like this. From childhood to adulthood, he has been influenced by his eyes. No wonder he has the intention to usurp power and seize the throne. It's also a pity. I think he... is also pitiful. He is alone and has nowhere to go. It's rare that he intends to regret it. Why don't we take him in? What do you think?"

He raised his hand to touch Xuanshuang's head, but he waved it away with one hand. Then he jumped away and shouted, "I don't need you to sympathize! Humph, who wants you to be pitiful? Why do you say to take it in... Do you think I am a stray cat and dog picked up on the roadside? I proposed to join the Wulin League, then... that's why I think I'm a stray cat and dog picked up on the road? I asked me to do it, and that's why I'm going to make a living. Even if you refuse, I'm a deposed prince, and I won't be unable to support myself! Sister Nangong, don't you pretend to be a false alarm, aren't you just afraid that I will take the evil path again? You said to me, is there any benefit to take the right path? The one who suffers will always be a good person! Shangguan Yaohua... is completely a friend to seek honor, and he actually earned it for him! What about me? Emperor... No, Master, how did he treat me?"

Li Yijie said angrily: "Enough, shut up! Do you think you have a good reason to be able to do heaven and earth, so that everyone can sympathize with you, pity you, and condemn the emperor with you, right? He is not only your father, but also an emperor. How can you do this... Have you ever thought about how much hurt his heart when you act this time?"

Xuan Shuang shouted, "But what? From ancient times to the present, are there few princes who have forced his father to abdicate? Is there only me an unworthy descendant? Okay, I deserve to be cut into pieces, why haven't a thunder from the sky come to kill me? Is God blind? No matter what, I must take back what should belong to me! I am not greedy! As long as the one I deserve, it's not just the position of the prince... I'm going to settle the dragon throne! One day, I'll get it! If the emperor dares to establish a new crown prince, he will build a tomb for his son! Don't blame me for not explaining it clearly in advance!"

Li Yijie said: "Such extreme personality and this kind of behavior... is simply a replica of the Seven Evil Demons! As expected, the kind of master you have is the kind of apprentice!"

Xuanshuang sneered, "Oh? Don't forget that before I was six years old, you were all guiding me to practice martial arts. Why didn't I teach me to be a hypocritical hypocrite like you? I only scold me here. At the beginning... did you dare to scold her by name? I scolded her for betraying her husband, having an affair with foreign enemies, and having a ill-intentioned plan. It's hard tolerate God? Just because you love her, all her despicableness and shamelessness have become noble virtues, right? I really want to make me wonder, how did your eyes come about? You couldn't stop her at the beginning, let me go later.

What's the point of being a hindsight? You are even less talented than Shangguan Yaohua. At least they betrayal in a open and open manner. They have to have a shameless conscience. They are born to be a fence-between and traitor! What about you? You dare not face her, you dare not face the emperor you regard as your brother, you dare not even face the reality, so you escaped, you fled far away to the border, in name, for the name of a war, but just an excuse to escape! Pity you, a despicable poor man, who was tortured by conscience day and night. If you had known this, why would you have been there?"

Li Yijie's heart suddenly trembled, and his guilt and self-blame surged like a sea of ​​blame, almost submerging him on the spot. Xuan Shuang sneered on her shoulders, staring at him gloatingly.

Nangong Xue also felt that Xuanshuang's words were indeed too overwhelming, but they were impeccable, leaving her speechless. The only thing worth mentioning was that he should not be too disrespectful to the older generation as a junior. But was he too utterly able to tell the truth because of his young age? He had to change the subject and said, "Senior Brother, if you want, go."

Or he felt that he was vague, his face turned slightly red, and he said, "The Emperor said that Shen Shiyun was a sinful person and could not move to the ancestral tomb. Therefore, he found a secluded place to bury it in the wilderness, and even the tombstone could not be written. It is still blank! However, Master Tang often visited her graves and cleaned them very cleanly. If you also want to see her and worship her, then you can go there, I will never blame you, and I will not be sad."

Li Yijie remained silent. He was obviously moved by this proposal, or he was planning to carry it in secret, but he didn't expect that she would just take the initiative to make it. But it was always inappropriate to leave to worship her old love.

Nangong Xue saw the conflict in his heart and smiled bitterly: "Senior Brother, your only shortcoming is that your conscience is too good and you always want to take care of everything, but you don't know... Too demanding perfection can only leave flaws on every side. If you want to go, just go there, don't worry about my feelings. As a friend, it's also worth visiting after she dies, and I really don't mind."

These few words finally made Li Yijie's turbulent mind firm and he said resolutely: "No, I won't go! The war is imminent, and I can't be distracted by these meaningless things. If I defeat the Seven Evil Demons, I will still have my life. Then, I will report the good news to Yun'er." Nangong Xue said nothing, turned around and wiped her tears quietly.

Xuan Shuang crossed her hands, held her back, and pointed to the ground with one toe, spinning back and forth, and mocked, "Yo, who said in person just now, I don't mind, I'm not surprised? I'm still thinking that the saint came out of a crack in the ground, why did she cry like her parents dead now? You don't have to be so obvious if you talk about right and wrong. If you want to go, you are unhappy; if you don't go, you are still unhappy. Or do you want to pretend to be noble and want to make Alliance Leader Li feel guilty? That's called being*..."

Li Yijie whispered, "At a young age, who can teach you how to learn such a sarcastic tongue! Say a few less words!" He gently hugged Nangong Xue and asked, "Xue'er, what's wrong?"

Nangong Xue's eyebrows and eyes were drooping, looking pitiful, and said, "It is reasonable for old friends to go to worship for new people, and it is understandable. If you are not worried and go immediately, then Shen Shiyun is just an ordinary friend in your eyes. But you said... worshiping her will distract you. Doesn't that mean that you can never forget your affection for her?"

Xuan Shuang said stutteringly: "I have never seen such a stingy woman, even a dead person's jealousy. Since that's the case, why don't you exchange identities? Let Alliance Leader Li go to your grave to worship! Don't worry, she won't stop her."

When Li Yijie saw Nangong Xue so sad, he felt uncomfortable and said, "It's all my heart that I hurt you again and again... I'm sorry."

Nangong Xue shook her head, shook her head again, and said, "No, Xuanshuang is right, it's because I'm too scrupulous. I'm really sorry for delaying so long. Friends from the Wulin League must be anxious." As he said that, he took Li Yijie's arm and pulled Xuanshuang with his other hand. Unexpectedly, Xuanshuang shook her away again and said coldly: "I said it! I'm not without legs, nor can I walk, nor is it terminally ill! You don't need to help me!"

The three of them stepped on a stone stairs and walked towards a palace. It was the first time Xuanshuang came here, and she felt fresh everywhere, unlike Li Yijie and they had their own thoughts and were depressed. Near the hall gate, a group of disciples came forward and called out, "Leader, you are finally back, please come in!" He saluted Nangong Xue and said, "I have met the wife of the leader."

The disciples did not recognize Xuanshuang, stared at him for a while, but did not show any respect. Xuanshuang's temper surged, snorted heavily, deliberately stamped his steps very loudly, crossed everyone, and entered the hall first.

If someone comes here to see the situation in the hall, he will be extremely disappointed. This place is just a grand appearance, so that it will not lose its table in the martial arts world, but there is no exquisite arrangement in the hall, which is exactly the simple and unpretentious personality of Li Yijie. The hall is spacious, with a large seat in the middle, with a screen of painted peonies on both sides. Below the seat, there is a long red carpet that leads straight to the front of the door. The four walls are empty and there is no mounting.

At this time, the rich and powerful people gathered from all over the world. When the leader finally appeared, they rushed forward in a crowd. Some asked Li Yijie where he had been in a month, some reported to him about the changes in the capital, and some complained about how the leader could leave everyone behind at a critical moment and leave.

Li Yijie heard the noise in his ears and asked, and at first he had a headache about these many problems. Later, the headache worsened, and turned from annoyance to a real pain. Everyone's voices gathered into a buzzing sound. Even if he wanted to hear it, he couldn't tell it clearly.

According to the convention, when the leader returns to the main steward, he must briefly report his experiences to everyone, propose tasks, goals, etc. for the next process. But Li Yijie felt that his headache continued to worsen, and he was so painful that he was about to explode. At this time, he just wanted to fall asleep immediately and was unconscious. The greetings in front of him were difficult for him to deal with, and he could no longer bear the various concerns, doubts, or contemptuous eyes he faced when gathering people to talk.

The moment he walked to the seat, he made an unexpected move for everyone: he did not turn around and sit down, but instead walked away from the side and turned directly into the bedroom behind the screen. Everyone in the room looked at each other, and no one knew what the leader was trying to do.

Xuan Shuang sneered and suddenly raised her voice, "What a turtle, I hid in the room and thought about my mistakes behind closed doors, hoping to be worthy of his pitiful conscience, so I will leave us here and fool us like a fool?"

He was mixed with the crowd and spoke. Everyone didn't know who they said, but they all felt that this was very reasonable, as if they were igniting the lead in an instant, and immediately shouted: "Yes! The leader of the alliance is too irresponsible! What should he do if he escapes in the last battle?" "Even if it doesn't work, he has to give an explanation! What does it mean to stop halfway?" "Leader Li, come out to give everyone an explanation! Otherwise, how do you tell everyone to trust you?"

Nangong Xue was following Li Yijie all the way and felt his arms trembling slightly. She wanted to persuade him not to force him, but she didn't know how to show it. Finally, Li Yijie went back to the room by herself, although she caught her off guard, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
