Chapter 48 Swallow Town (6)

Wei Jie's body lightly swept up the roof, and the silver light of the bright moon in the night sky sprinkled towards the entire Wei Mansion. The shouts of killing were heard far away, but it seemed to echo in the yard.

He looked at Gu Shiyan with a hunched over, and said, "Life in Yanzi Town has made me feel a little too relaxed. When I was young, I was full of passion and kept moving forward for my dreams, but the world is full of too many dirty things. Only strong strength and power can stand at the commanding heights."

"When I got out of trouble and stood at a certain height, I didn't know when I began to look down on those small people and looked down on them. Maybe I had done a lot of things wrong, but I was often forced to do it."

"But today's disaster was entirely my own fault. I never regret it, because I know that even if I regret it, it will not change anything, and Nier will not be resurrected from the dead. My body has been half-cut into the loess. Since I have reached this point, I can only continue to move forward."

Gu Shiyan lowered her head and thought about something. When she looked up, she suddenly said: "I came here not to kill people, but to kill people is just a process. Dan Tai Jing is the chief censor, and she lives in the temple and rarely leaves the capital. I want to know when he was related to Yanzi Town, and what secrets are hidden in your Wei family. As long as you tell me truthfully, I will let you live and let the entire Wei family live."

Wei Jie said: "I admit that Dan Tai Jing and some officials in the court have common secrets with my Wei family, and even the things that I Wei family have are more critical. I don't know why you are looking into this matter, but I think it should be very important to you. If you want to get that secret, don't stop me from killing the boy."

The Wei family does have a list, but in fact, Wei Jie and Wei Xiang don’t know what this list means. They only know that this list contains the names of Dan Tai Jing and many court officials, and even some practitioners.

And because of this list, the officials in the court led by Dan Tai Jing had contact with the Wei family.

The Wei family got this list because of the appearance of someone.

There are very complicated things mixed in this. The Wei family and Dan Tai Jing and other court officials have no interest relationship, but a relationship between threats and being threatened.

But the Wei family did not have enough strength to threaten the officials of the court. At first, they were worried that they would be retaliated by these people, but it was because of that person who had been in peace for many years, but the Wei family was also restricted and hindered its development. Gradually, the Wei family's ambitions began to emerge, and some officials secretly helped the Wei family do a lot of things.

But there were some problems with Dan Tai Jing, who were unwilling to have anything to do with the Wei family anymore, and the Wei family did not dare to make a big deal. When they were worried about how to deal with Dan Tai Jing, news of Dan Tai Jing being assassinated suddenly came.

When he first heard about this, Wei Jie was surprised and alerted that the people on the list really had a big secret, but only Dan Tai Jing died alone, he couldn't determine anything. Over time, Wei Jie ignored it.

But today, someone suddenly came to Wei's house to investigate Dan Tai Jing, and Wei Jie immediately remembered his former suspicion.

But no matter what Gu Shiyan's purpose was, Wei Ni's death was a problem that Wei Jie could not ignore. He had to kill Li Mengzhou.

......

A dull voice sounded in the yard, and the sound obviously could not be overwhelmed by the sound of killing. Li Mengzhou looked at Wei Xiang who was kneeling in front of him, his eyes closed slightly, and said, "Life in the world is very fragile, and death is something that happens every day. Are you really ready to let the entire Wei family be buried with you?"

"Although Wei Ni died under my sword, the reason why I appeared here is purely because of the name Dan Tai Jing. In other words, the secret hidden by your Wei family is the opportunity that leads to your current situation."

"Of course I'm not trying to defend anything, but I like Yanzi Town a little bit and don't want to commit more murder, so I hope you can cooperate."

Li Mengzhou squatted down and said softly: "You are not a mountain monk, nor are you considered a mountain monk. Your practice is not as good as the level of my life. Even if my level is lower than you and I am injured, you don't have to kill me at all. Since you can't avenge Wei Ni, why should you seek death? Regardless of your huge family business, you will ruin the entire Wei family because of Dan Tai Jing."

Wei Xiang knelt on the cold stone floor, looked down at Wei Ni's body beside him, and hatred flashed in his eyes. He was afraid of death after all. Although he wanted to avenge his son, he was unwilling to die with his son. This was a very tangled thing.

He made a desperate decision because of extreme anger, but when this firmness was broken, he felt greater fear, and even gradually devoured the anger and resentment born from the death of his son.

Wei Xiang's eyes were placed on the black-green sword in Li Mengzhou's hand. He felt in a trance that the sword seemed very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

He temporarily suppressed the hatred in his heart and said with some uncertainty: "Why is this sword in your hands?"

Li Mengzhou looked at the sword in his hand and said in confusion: "Do you recognize this sword?"

This black-green sword has no name, at least Li Mengzhou did not name it, but it seemed to have a name before.

The sword he got at a blacksmith shop in the capital was bought for Shen Jiyue's money. According to the owner of the blacksmith shop, it was a sword belonging to an assassin. Because he wanted to complete an impossible assassin mission, he couldn't bear to let the sword fall with him, so he left the sword in the blacksmith shop.

Li Mengzhou never thought of exploring the story of this sword in the past, but he did not expect that Wei Xiang would recognize the sword.

Wei Xiang looked at Li Mengzhou deeply and said in a deep voice: "Because the owner of this sword is from Yanzi Town, he is a mysterious and lonely assassin. He has not made any name in Yanzi Town, but he assassined me a few years ago."

Li Mengzhou thought that the master of Wuqing Sword should also be a cultivator. If the task of knowing that he would die was to assassinate Wei Xiang, he thought that the assassin's cultivation level should be below the third level. Even if it was not, Wei Jie was around Wei Xiang, if the assassin's cultivation level could not cross the fourth level, he would definitely die, and he would be able to meet it.

"The assassin left the sword in the capital before performing the mission, and did not carry it with him. However, you can still recognize the sword, which means you should have known the assassin for a long time. Yanzi Town said it was big or small, is it because the assassin had any relationship with your Wei family that is not clear to you?"

Wei Xiang said: "He and I were childhood playmates. His family was miserable, his parents died, and he lived with his uncle, but his sarcastic aunt was not good to him and even beat him up."

"I have been living a rich life since I was a child. It is the opposite of it. It is hard to believe that the two of us will become friends who can talk about everything, but I don't know what kind of life he lives until one day, he appeared in front of me covered in blood and told me that he killed his aunt."

Wei Xiang seemed to be trapped in his memories and said softly: "I was very scared at that time because he looked so scary with blood. Shortly after that incident, he left Yanzi Town and had not come back for many years."

"But a few years ago, he appeared again, and he held the black-green sword in his hand. He became an assassin and killed many people. I regret not helping him at that time. Although it seemed that our relationship was no different from when we were young, it was actually different." "And I even more unexpectedly, he returned to Yanzi Town because a mission was coming to kill me. Later I realized that he didn't know at first that the mission target was me, but a few days later, he still appeared in front of me."

"The person who really wants to kill me is the officials in the court. I don't know if there is Dan Tai Jing in it, but there should be some. Because when he left Yanzi Town, he met someone in the court so that he could survive, but he was also trained by that person to become an assassin, and he was sent to perform this mission."

"The mission goal is his childhood playmate, and the one who issued the mission was someone who knew him and it was difficult for him to make a choice. It was only when my sword stabbed into his body that I learned the truth, and I regretted it again because of him."

"Maybe it was at that time that I had the idea of ​​resisting and secretly cultivated the power of the Wei family, which was to get rid of control, and even settle in the capital and kill everyone on that list."

Li Mengzhou listened silently and sighed: "I think he has a deep relationship with you, but it's a pity that he has not been able to get rid of his miserable life. And you have done something wrong again and again, so you want to make up for it, which is a very touching story."

Wei Xiang's expression became very calm. He looked at Li Mengzhou and said, "His sword appeared in your hand, perhaps it was time when cause and effect came. If you killed Ni'er with his sword, it would be equivalent to he successfully killing me and completing that task. I am very confused now. I don't know if I should continue to hate you to kill my son, or thank you for letting me see this sword again."

Li Mengzhou was silent for a moment and asked, "What is the list you mentioned?"

Wei Xiang sat dejectedly on the ground and said, "More than ten years ago, someone appeared in Yanzi Town. He gave me this list. The people on the list included Dan Tai Jing, many officials in the court and even some practitioners, and there was some connection between them."

"That man seemed to want to use this list to overthrow another person with high power in the court, but this list cannot be on him. Perhaps because of my unluckyness, this list was hidden in my Wei family. He would come to pick it up when that person needed it, but I didn't expect that after so many years, that person never appeared again."

"A lot of things happened during this period. Dan Tai Jing and the others knew that this list was in my hands. I was a businessman. Although I was afraid of that person's identity, I could also see how important this list was. I was greedy and wanted to use this list to threaten Dan Tai Jing and the others, and finally end up with the consequences."

Li Mengzhou said: "Everything happened is because of this list. I think you regret it now. Instead of continuing to hold this hot potato in your hand, it is better to throw it out."

Wei Xiang remained silent.

......

There were figures rising from the sky on the roof, sword energy roaring, and corpses were everywhere in the yard, and the shouts of killing gradually became much smaller.

Gu Shiyan looked at the embarrassed hunched figure from afar and said softly: "I said I wanted to kill you, so you have no room for bargaining. Since you don't cooperate, I won't ask you anymore."

Wei Jie almost fell down the roof. His eyes moved down. Looking at the dead and injured Wei family Ye Xiu, Wei Xiang, who was limp next to Wei Ni's body, and the young man standing in front of Wei Xiang with a sword, he was furious.

A sharp sword is coming.

Wei Jie's resentful expression froze on his face, gradually becoming numb, his eyes became empty, blood soaked in his clothes, flowing onto the tiles, along the depression, like a red stream flowing down the eaves, rolling onto the roof, falling from the roof, and was already dead.
