"When something happened to the Li family, Zhiyue just gave birth and was weak. She secretly left the palace, found Brother Song, knelt in front of him, and asked him to save your whole family. You know that Brother Song never refused Zhiyue's request. He

One person entered the palace and argued hard in front of His Majesty, hoping to save the lives of the Li family. However, His Majesty was determined and would not listen to anything. He also assigned the matter of hunting you to Brother Song. At that time, your martial arts skills

How about a flower?"

Li Zhixing said: "It's better."

"Your Majesty asked Brother Song to lead eight hundred elite soldiers to chase you all the way. If he hadn't been compassionate, how could you and a few swordsmen in white escape to the Northern Zhou Dynasty alive? Because of this matter, there was a gap between Your Majesty and Brother Song.

, as for what happens next, I believe you also know."

When Li Zhixing heard about this for the first time, he didn't expect that such things happened back then, and he fell into deep thought.

Xue Yingxiong said: "Back then, you and I, the three brothers, were supposed to join forces to do something big, but now it seems that we can't figure out who it is after all." He obviously didn't want to say more, and said: "You are buried in

I just accepted the tung oil in my house."

When Li Zhixing saw what happened was revealed, his face was filled with despair and unwillingness.

But now that it's over, he doesn't have any chance.

Xue Yingxiong came to Fan and Zhao and said to them: "You guys should get out of the way first."

…

Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Xing came out of the oil shop. Fan Xiaodao was curious and wanted to hear what they were saying in the courtyard, but their voices were very low and he said to Zhao Xing: "You have good ears, what are they talking about?"

Zhao Xingdao: "It's probably some old events. He doesn't want us to know, so why do you bother?"

Fan Xiaodao wanted to come forward, but was blocked by the Jinyiwei people, so he had to give up. Fan Xiaodao said: "I think Li Zhixing is quite pitiful."

Zhao Xing said coldly: "Poor people must be hateful."

"Based on his crime, he must be sentenced to Lingchi, right?"

Zhao Xingdao: "That's not what you and I have to consider. This man has brought disaster to me for twenty years in the Ming Dynasty. Countless families have been destroyed by him, and wives and children have been separated. How can you find the time to pity others? You know, half an hour ago, he

And threatened to kill you."

This incident had a great impact on Fan Xiaodao. The court and even His Majesty were more or less responsible for Li Zhixing reaching this point. For a young master like him from a hairpin family, if he suddenly encounters a disaster, his psychology will be twisted and he will have the desire for revenge.

His heart is very serious, and the harm is extremely great. According to the law, it is the most unforgivable, but because of love, he has to do it.

Is the Ming Dynasty they protect the people of the Ming Dynasty or the Majesty in the palace?

For the first time, Fan Xiaodao had doubts in his heart.

Zhao Xing seemed to see this, he said: "In this world, everyone has his own reason for existence. It is not black and white. We catch the fast, punish the evil and promote the good, cut out the cancer that harms the world, and ensure the peace of the world.

, Haiyan Heqing, it is our duty to arrest people, but as to whether they are guilty or not, that is a matter for the court."

Fan Xiaodao argued: "The imperial court is also made up of people, and your Majesty is also a person, and it is inevitable that he will not make mistakes. So are we protecting this order, or the interests of a few people?"

Zhao Xingdao: "One drink and one peck are all cause and effect."

A conversation ended in vain.

The two of them fell into deep thought.

The crimes Li Zhixing committed over the years are unpardonable, but the reason why he is today is inseparable from the situation and trends of the current dynasty. You must know that at that time, he was also Li Tanhua, who was famous in the capital and was regarded as a talented prime minister.

Li Hanlin, but his life trajectory changed again and again, and he finally ended up like this.

…

"You haven't complained about him in these years?"

Xue Yingxiong's face was gloomy, as if he was in endless pain, and he said slowly: "In these years, I have been suffering all the time. When I think of Zhiyue ending up like this, my heart feels like being cut into pieces with a thousand knives, let alone Brother Song.

?Back then, he treated her like his own sister. Especially after the Taiping Taoist Temple incident, I was completely heartbroken, but I am different from you, I learned to hide it."

Li Zhixing remembered that year.

That year he took the imperial examination in high school and was selected as the top prize. He was also a child of a Jiangnan family. He walked around the streets and charmed thousands of girls. He was so high-spirited.

The four of them were drinking and playing chess on the city wall. Li Zhiyue was cooking wine and playing the harp next to them. When the wine was drunk, the man took off the sword from his waist, put it in front of him, pointed at him and said: "You are my humerus."

My ministers, in the future, with your assistance, the Ming Dynasty will be prosperous for thousands of generations, and my name will be remembered forever!"

In the blink of an eye, more than twenty years later, the man sitting on the dragon throne is still alive, but things in the world have changed. If it hadn't been for that incident, the Jinling Li family would not have been destroyed. He would also be in the cabinet now.

"What do you want to do with me?"

Xue Yingxiong walked up to him, leaned next to his ear, and whispered something.

Li Zhixing was shocked at first, then showed a look of relief. He suddenly laughed and said after a long time: "Brother Song said that I am very resourceful. Among the three of them, you are the most blunt and reckless. I didn't expect that in the end, you will become old and...

It’s you who is stronger.”

Xue Yingxiong said lightly: "No. After that incident, I learned to keep my mouth shut. The court in the capital is turbulent, and I will come on stage after you sing. There are many parties and governments. I just learned to protect myself better."

What he said is true. In the past twenty years, the Ming Dynasty has changed more than a dozen cabinet ministers, but the position of commander of the Jinyi Guards has always been firmly held by Xue Yingxiong. Li Zhixing said: "You are right. In terms of the pattern,

, I am not as good as you."

Xue Yingxiong took out a jug of wine from his arms, opened the mud seal, and a scent suddenly filled the room.

Li Zhixing asked: "Chishui wine?"

Xue Yingxiong said: "This is the only bottle I took out from your wine cellar when my house was ransacked. It has been more than a hundred years old. I have kept it till now and have never enjoyed it. I thought of saying goodbye to my old friend today, so I brought it here.

.”

Chishui wine was a famous wine two hundred years ago. It was brewed with water from the Chishui River in Yinyang City. It was once very popular. Emperor Lizong was particularly fond of this wine. However, more than a hundred years ago, an inexplicable fire destroyed Yinyang City.

It was burned to ashes, and Chishui wine has disappeared since then. Only rich and noble families like the Jinling Li family occasionally have some private collections, and they will never show it to others easily.

He poured two glasses and placed one in front of Li Zhixing.

Slightly yellow wine pulp, slightly turbid.

Li Zhixing said: "I remember when I passed the national examination at the age of eighteen, my father took out a jar of Chishui wine. It was the first time in my life that I drank alcohol. I was drunk for three days and three nights and did not get up."

Seeing that Li Zhixing had lost his fighting spirit, Li Zhili felt anxious and said: "Third brother!"

Li Zhixing was completely unaware and said again: "I have a request."

"you say."

"All crimes are my fault alone. After my death, Zhili was the only child of my Li family in Jinling. For the sake of our friendship, I want to ask you to let him live. You know, I have never

He has begged others. In the future, whether he becomes a commoner or escapes outside the territory, he can still leave a little incense for my Li family. But, don’t let him think about revenge anymore."

Xue Yingxiong fell into silence.

He knew that the people of the Li family in Jinling were originally classified as "remnants". If they were really traced, no one would be able to escape. Over the years, he had already hidden his hatred in his heart and refused to show it lightly. If Li Zhili was let go, things would happen in the future.

If exposed, he will also be exposed to risks.

However, he still nodded.

"I promise you. But there is a condition."

"What conditions?"

Xue Yingxiong said: "A list."

Li Zhixing thought for a while and laughed, "I didn't expect that now, you are still plotting against me."

Xue Yingxiong said: "I didn't ask for this list." He pointed outside, "I asked for it on their behalf."

Li Zhixing thought for a while, and immediately understood the reason. He said, "It's a good plan," and said loudly: "Those two kids outside, come in."

Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Xing came in and saw that the room was filled with alcohol and the atmosphere was a bit strange. They didn't know what happened and it was inconvenient to ask more questions. They looked at Li Zhixing with puzzled faces, and Li Zhixing looked at the two of them.

Zhao Xing was extraordinary and talented, with a hint of arrogance in his indifferent expression. Fan Xiaodao had a careless and cynical look, but his eyes were extremely clear and shrewd. The expressions of these two people couldn't help but remind him of

They were young twenty years ago.

"I, Li Zhixing, pride myself on being unparalleled in resourcefulness and good at strategizing situations. I am proud of you two for being able to push me to this point. I did not lose unjustly." He called Fan Xiaodao over and said, "

Brother Song is the person I admire the most in my life. You are his apprentice. This is the first time we meet. I have nothing to give as a gift. I have something, please be sure to accept it." He said to Li Zhili, "Bring me my sword box.

.”

When Li Zhili saw him talking about the sword box, he immediately became anxious and said, "Third brother, this is our Li family..."

Li Zhixing said sharply: "I know what this is!"

Seeing this, Li Zhili had to go back to the inner room and took out a sword box that was half a foot wide and four feet long. The sandalwood sword box was a bit primitive and the patina was shiny. It was obvious that Li Zhixing had always taken good care of it.

, he opened the sword box, and an ancient long sword appeared in front of everyone.

Li Zhixing pressed the sword spring, a dragon roared, and the sword popped out.

Fan Xiaodao saw that the sword was full of simple textures, with two words engraved on it in small seals: "Jinghong", and couldn't help but exclaimed: "What a sword!"

Li Zhixing said: "The name of this sword is Jinghong. It was a sword belonging to my ancestor two hundred years ago. Later, this sword fell into the hands of a female hero named Yang. Later, Female Hero Yang returned the sword to the Li family."

"After that, my Li family gave up martial arts and went into business, and never used it again." He added, "This sword has killed corrupt officials, gangsters, and even land gods. The only regret is that

Have you never killed the emperor?"

"Why are you telling me this?"
