Back Off, Let Me Come

Shooting Star Pass, dungeon.

This place is located under Shexingguan City.

The space is cramped, the vision is dark, and there is a lingering stench in the air. It was originally used to hold captives and erring soldiers, with rows of shelves lined with various instruments of torture. Many torture devices have stains visible to the naked eye, like traces of blackened flesh and blood after coagulation, and a rotten odor can be smelled up close. The space in each cell is limited, and all the prisoners' food, drink, and diarrhea are handled here.

There was a creak, followed by the rustling of the chain.

As the door opened, the candlelight outside the door fell in, barely dispelling the darkness, but as the door closed, that little light was cut off again. Two soldiers dressed as Northern Desert walked all the way to the end and stood in the cell at the end to check their identities.

This cell held a severely wounded prisoner.

When he was imprisoned, he only had half a breath left.

After being imprisoned for several days, half of his breath returned to one breath.

A Northern Desert soldier spat at the man in the cell and kicked his arm: "Hey, wake up!"

The bloody man lying on the ground finally reacted.

He slowly opened his eyes.

Even the embarrassment all over his body could not hide the brilliance of his eyes.

The soldiers in the Northern Desert were not polite to him either, and dragged him away one on the left and the other on the right. The dragging ground left an eye-catching blood mark, and the unhealed wound also burst open. Warm and fresh blood continued to gush out, covering the original dark traces. Two Northern Desert soldiers took him to another place and tied him to a torture rack. The space here is relatively spacious, and the circulating air takes away the strong smell of blood on his body.

Under the illumination of the candlelight, the prisoner's miserable condition became more shocking. His right arm twisted and drooped unnaturally, his fingers were black, and several fingernails were missing.

It was obvious that he had been severely punished, more than once.

The prisoner was used to being interrogated. He glanced at his surroundings and closed his eyes. He looked embarrassed but still kept his handsome face full of impatience. After a while, there was a touch of coldness on my cheeks. Someone put a dagger on his face: "General Yun's bones are strong."

Yun Ce opened his eyes and smiled at the visitor.

Even though he is embarrassed, he still has his own style.

The other party: "What did General Yun think about yesterday's incident?"

Yun Ce asked: "Do you really want me to surrender?"

The other party corrected the mistake in Yun Ce's wording and smiled brightly: "It's not about surrendering, it's about recognizing your ancestors and returning to your clan, abandoning darkness and turning to the light."

With the help of Yunce, Werder will be completely tied up.

This is just one of the purposes.

Another important purpose is for Yun Ce himself.

Yun Ce and Xian Yujian are in charge of Kaiyang Guard. Their brothers have no foundation in the court and naturally have no factional stance. This kind of people are the ones who are favored by the superiors and are the natural "Kuozhu Party". Therefore, Yun Ce and the two knew many secrets of Kang State.

If the two of them are willing to surrender and cooperate, the Northern Desert will be even more powerful.

However, these two brothers are more arrogant than the other.

It’s hard to get off the tiger even here in the Northern Desert.

Let them go?

It's really a pity that the tiger has returned to the mountain.

Kill them?

Although Wen Da did not express his position, both of them were disciples raised by Wen Da himself. Yun Ce's status was even more special. Just by looking at his surname and training route, you could tell that he had a close relationship with Wen Da. If we really kill them, who knows that Wen Da won't turn his back on them?

Can't kill, can't let go.

Beimo could only try to instigate the two to rebel.

Promises high-ranking officials and generous salaries, but others remain indifferent.

Not only did they not accept this trick, they also killed their people.

If you don’t eat the soft ones, you’ll have to eat the hard ones.

The brothers were detained separately and sentenced.

See how far they can endure it!

"Recognize your ancestors and return to your clan..." Yun Ce pondered these words over and over again, his voice becoming more self-deprecating and bitter, "Yun has lived in vain for thirty-two years, and this is the first time he knows that his ancestors are actually in the Northern Desert... Even so, What else can it mean? If the ancestors are from somewhere, the descendants of the future generations will be loyal to whoever is right or wrong, and will help others to do evil. May I ask what the girl is doing now? Isn’t it contradictory? "

Judging from her appearance and accent, the girl in front of her is not from the Northern Desert.

Yun Ce's rhetorical question made the other party's face sink.

Liu Guan: "Bei Mo has great kindness to me."

Yun Ce said: "My Lord and Ce are also very kind."

Liu Guan seemed to have heard something funny: "General Yun, does he know what news is spreading wildly in the Kangguo camp now? The Lord, who you say is a great benefactor, in order to appease the morale of the army, put the blame for the fall of Shexing Pass on your fellow apprentices? Why don't you do that?" The camp searched and found letters between the two of you colluding with Bei Mo. Under the instructions of the division commander, you brothers took the initiative to lurk in Kangguo to respond."

Yun Ce said flatly: "It's impossible."

Liu Guan smiled and said: "Why is it impossible? Is General Yun too naive? Shen Youli is the lord of the country, and the lord of the country leads the expedition himself. Failure in command leads to the loss of important passes. Do you know what a blow to the morale of the army? If you don't want to If you find a way to save it and put the responsibility on others, she will be questioned and her status will be shaken. Beimo just sent out the news of the surrender of your brothers, but your country leader believed it and couldn't wait to use you to open the Yang Guard. The personal guard operates. General Yun, are you still foolish and loyal?"

Yun Ce repeated: "Impossible!"

Liu Guan clapped his hands and brought a person in from the door.

Yun Ce recognized the other party's identity at a glance.

This person belongs to Kaiyang Guard.

Liu Guan sat down elegantly and took a sip: "You might as well listen to what he has to say. This person is also one of your confidants in Kaiyang Guard. He was personally promoted. You should know what his character is like."

Seeing Yun Ce's miserable state, his confidants also howled incessantly.

He rushed forward and said: "General——"

Yun Ce swallowed a mouthful of blood and turned pale.

It was just the confidant's next words that made his face paler.

When the morale of the army in Kangguo's camp was fluctuating, there was indeed news that Yun Ce and the two were moles. In order to prevent Kaiyang Guard from going wrong, they split this guard and handed it over to the other six generals. All those promoted by Yun Ce were targeted.

Some people complained about Yun Ce and were punished by military law.

"...The Lord is so cruel—"

The confidants kept sobbing, with snot and tears streaming down their faces.

Liu Guan was watching the show and laughed and said something sarcastic: "I heard that General Yun is keeping a clean life and focuses on martial arts and not on family business. I think this is a good thing, otherwise his wife and daughter will be in the hands of Lord Shen, and I'm afraid he will kill the chicken to scare the monkeys. Typical example If she is not ruthless in her establishment, if everyone betrays her in the future, how can she sit securely as the leader of the country? General Yun, do you think so?"

Yun Ce closed his eyes: "You want to deceive me in just a few words?"

The confidants will also be incited to rebel.

He didn't believe anything except the facts.

When his confidants heard this, they burst into tears and were angry at him for not arguing: "The general has been so loyal to the Lord, but the Lord has betrayed the general."

Yun Ce was seriously injured. He vomited a mouthful of blood before he felt his chest relaxed: "You don't have to sing along, get out!"

Liu Guan looked at Yun Ce with joking eyes. He came closer and pinched Yun Ce's chin to force him to face him. While looking at him, he said: "The general is so loyal and unyielding, which makes Liu admire him. It's just a general. Loyalty will win admiration, Yu." Loyalty is nothing but a joke. Beimo will never be merciful to those who cannot be used for their own purposes. Why should you ruin your bright future by bearing the reputation of bullying teachers and destroying ancestors and harming people and harming people for the sake of unworthy people? And life? You look so pathetic and ridiculous."

Liu Guan's hands are very strong.

In Yun Ce's current state, he couldn't escape.

He said: “Seeing is believing.”

Liu Guan smiled: "I won't shed tears until I see the coffin. I have to watch your master bend his bow and arrow and shoot you to death before he is willing to admit that he has been abandoned by his master. I will grant you my wish."

Before he was about to leave, Liu Guan thought of something again.

Reminding Yun Ce: "General Yun still has one day to think about it carefully. My master cherishes talents and loves talents. He couldn't bear to betray his talents secretly and sent people to persuade him several times. If you still refuse to repent, I am afraid that my master will not be able to protect you. I will devote all my energy to you." It would be a shame to have it go down the drain.”

You can't use it for yourself, and you can't take advantage of others.

Turning Yun Ce into a useless person is the only option.

Liu Guan's eyes circled carefully around Yun Ce: "General Yun, with such a celestial figure, is really going to fall into the mud...Tsk, tsk, tsk, talking about this, Liu thought of another thing."

Yun Ce looked at her silently.

Liu Guan continued: "Marquis Yunche once said that as long as General Yun can leave an heir, it will be fine. There is no need to report anything else to him."

It doesn't matter if Yun Ce is dead, as long as his bloodline continues.

Liu Guan's smile was meaningful.

But as soon as she turned around, she saw a figure standing at the door. His smile was stiff, his expression returned to normal in the blink of an eye, and he saluted respectfully.

"I've met Lord Che."

Yunda stepped forward and passed by Liu Guan's side.

He said quietly: "You know my thoughts quite well."

Surprisingly, he didn't do anything to Liu Guan.

After Liu Guan and Yun Ce's confidants retreated, only master and apprentice remained.

This was also the first time the two met after the fall of Shexing Pass.

Wen Da casually pulled up a chair and sat down.

Asked: "Why don't you surrender?"

Yun Ce asked back: "Don't the answer to this question lie with the master? The master has taught me diligently for more than ten years. The disciple has kept it in mind and dare not forget it for a moment. It is reasonable not to surrender to the Northern Desert. The disciple may surrender to any force. It’s only impossible in the Northern Desert!”

"You can become a king and hegemony if you have a strong army and a strong horse. The Northern Desert has been dormant in the barren wasteland for hundreds of years, and finally reached the situation it is today. How can the Northern Desert not do it? You think the Northern Desert is cruel and cruel, but how can anyone in the world not die? These people are dead now. Everyone makes necessary sacrifices for the stability of the situation in the future. Once the Northern Desert is stabilized, whatever Shen Youli can do, the Northern Desert can do the same, or even better."

Yun Ce: "That's not what Master said back then."

"A Ce, my teacher raised you to be too naive and simple in the past. If you dislike Bei Mo's reputation and style, then you might as well go there yourself and let Bei Mo do what you want. You can't trust others, and you can't trust Bei Mo. , you still can’t believe in yourself? A man born in heaven and earth should climb to the top!" Yun Da’s words are full of information and very tempting, "Being a teacher can guarantee that!"

Yun Ce shook his head in disappointment: "My disciple has no intention."

He didn't believe Werder's words.

I even felt that the master in front of me had been taken away by someone.

How could such an open-minded and wise elder be the person in front of him?

How could the amiable elder who helped his fellow disciples and brothers support the world say such arrogant and arrogant words and regard human life as nothing? The master should know better than himself what he has done in Beimo in the past hundreds of years, so how can he be the one destined by destiny?

The former master sympathized with the helpless old and weak in the war, and could not bear to see living people being treated as meat animals. He taught their brothers to be chivalrous and righteous, to help the strong and the weak, and to do whatever they could for the sake of the common people. But in front of him, he was... do what? Can someone who was born in the Northern Desert be able to ignore right and wrong and help others do evil? Has the master changed, or has it always been this way, just in disguise?

Wen Da: "You still regard me as your master?"

"Master, your kindness in raising and teaching me will not be forgotten even for a day. But my master is stubborn and I am afraid that I will not be able to repay you in this life. The only thing that can be saved is my life." Yun Ce has not been emotionally disturbed by being sentenced these past few days, but I couldn't hide my disappointment with Werder, but what was more painful in my heart was, "Please be kind to me -"

Wen Da looked at the apprentice in front of him for a long time.

Although Yun Ce is not related to him by blood, he is inexplicably similar to him in every aspect, whether it is his talent, appearance or temperament. After a long time, he sighed: "If Amu Qing's child could have been born back then, maybe he would be like you."

Amu Qing?

Yun Ce was very familiar with this name.

There are memorial tablets at the master's door, one of which is engraved with this name.

"Amu Qing is my first wife and your ancestor. In terms of seniority, you should call her heavenly grandmother." Yun Da fell into memories, and Yun Ce keenly noticed the strange wording used by the other party——

Why only mention Heavenly Grandmother but never mention Heavenly Ancestor?

"Because your Heavenly Ancestor is not a teacher."

Werder did not hide it either.

"However, that person was killed by the master himself."

Yun Da never mentioned these things to Yun Ce.

Yun Ce used to be curious as to why there were so many brothers in the school. They were all orphans picked up by the master, but he was the only one who took his master's surname. As he got older, some strange rumors spread among the master's sect. The most widely circulated one was that Yun Ce was a descendant of his master. However, Master never directly responded to this rumor. As the brothers and sisters descended the mountain one after another, no one mentioned it again.

Listen again now——

Yun Ce always felt that there was some story in it.

I am a descendant of Master's wife, but not a descendant of Master.

The real Heavenly Ancestor was killed by his master?

so--

Did the Heavenly Ancestor seize love with a sword, or did the Master seize it by force?

The young Yunda was very secretive about this past incident, but now he has nothing to hide and talks to Yun Ce.

He has protected Amu Qing's descendants for five generations. Each generation he has carefully educated and watched them grow up. As a result, each of them met with misfortune, and Yun Ce's family was the only orphan left. He thought he had atoneed enough for his sins, and had no intention of bringing Yun Ce back.

Just the first time he saw Yun Ce, he softened his heart.

Like, it’s really similar.

If the child he and Amu Qing had conceived after their wedding had not miscarried, but had been born, it might have looked like this. Because of this compassion, he took Yun Ce back to the mountains to educate him.

He regards Yun Ce as another self.

I hope that the original intentions and regrets of the year can be made up for.

Now it seems that it is overkill.

Yun Da looked into Yun Ce's eyes.

"Ace, are you really not afraid of death?"

Yun Ce looked at him calmly.

Yunda had raised him for so many years, but he didn't know what Yun Ce meant. He didn't ask for Yun Ce's life, but just took action to destroy his elixir palace and all his meridians: "You are Amu Qing's only descendant. I will not kill him as a teacher." You, but you have to take back your cultivation. Ah Ce, your choice makes me very disappointed."

Yun Ce was so painful that he was sweating all over.

Still gritting his teeth, he said, "Thank you, Master, for showing mercy."

In order not to make a sound, he gritted his teeth and drew a mouthful of blood.

It's the 17th, only a full week away from the annual meeting, and the manuscript has not been saved yet...

On a whim in the morning, I took out the horse-faced skirts I bought that year and tried them on. Oh dear, some of them are no longer wearable (fortunately, Jiyuan’s flower and bird fabrics are still made of fabric. I went back to find a tailor to make them. The earliest one was from April 21... I (Mom)
