Chapter 18 The Traitor
The night wind is getting colder.
A black shadow appeared behind Ye Xiao.
This black shadow was extremely faint at first, like the shadow of Ye Xiao, but gradually it seemed like flesh and blood were born from the night. When he walked to Ye Xiao, he was a man in black and had a cold face.
His face, figure, and even gait were almost exactly the same as that of the Night Owl.
Except that his expression seemed colder than Ye Owl.
"You really decided to be enemies with the master?"
This practitioner, who is almost exactly the same as Ye Xiao, asked without any emotion.
"The Lord's family always thinks that we have so many brothers died. In the end, all I fight for was my glory and wealth and my face alone, but what I fight for was the face of all our brothers."
Ye Xiao smiled faintly, turned his head and looked at the practitioner with a sarcastic face that was almost the same as him, and said, "And why do you ask me on purpose? If I really don't make such a decision, I'm afraid you will be the first to assassinate me, and you won't need the master's practitioner to take action."
The practitioner with almost the same face as him nodded without any concealment.
He can die for Ye Owl.
But if Ye Xiao makes a choice that disappoints him and most people, he will abandon Ye Xiao without hesitation, let Ye Xiao die, and then take over Ye Xiao's position by himself.
...
The height of Changling.
In a pavilion dedicated to stargazing, an old man with a very kind face poured out a bleeding wine with a jade pot. He suddenly didn't know what a beautiful thing he remembered and couldn't help but smile.
When the clear aroma of wine began to overflow from the crystal cup, he slowly raised his head.
"You should know who I am?"
The old man looked at Li Si sitting opposite him and pushed the glass of wine in front of him.
"Li Buxiang, the master of the Li family in Changling, the teacher of the second prince, and Mr. Shang's reform was half of the emperor's hand, but half of it was promoted by you."
Li Si slowly drank the wine in the glass, and what surprised him was that the astringent taste of this wine was extremely strong.
"I know who you are, too."
Li Buxiang seemed to think he was very interesting. He laughed again and said, "Your name is Li Si. Strictly speaking, you are the son of my cousin from afar. Although I have never seen your father before, it has some relationship after all. You are Chen Bulai's disciple. Although you have no reputation in practicing in Korea, I know, you just don't want to be famous. You advocate the rule of law... Originally, Changling had the intention to show off your strengths and strengths, but I want to know, you obviously have many relationships with me, why don't you come to me?"
"If you take the initiative to deliver it to your door, you may not be highly regarded."
Li Si said calmly: "If you think I am useful, just like you are looking for Mr. Shang. Even if I hide in a shabby alley, you will find it."
Li Buxiang nodded, not knowing whether he agreed with his words, but he did not look at the boy's eyebrows and eyes seriously. Instead, he turned to look at the dark streets and alleys in the distance, and then whispered: "The Nangong family wants Ye Xiao to stop, what do you think Ye Xiao will do?"
Li Si shook his head calmly and said, "Ye Xiao will not obey."
Li Buxiang had already restrained his smile, but said with interest: "Why do you feel this way?"
"When a person walks high in Changling, he always wants to fight. For the Nangong family, people like Ye Xiao are the kind of people who can be replaced at any time. However, when he climbs to such a height, you will know that he will not be willing to be such a person who can be replaced at any time." Li Si said.
Li Buxiang nodded and said, "You are very smart, so you think Ye Xiao will definitely rebel."
Li Si glanced at him and no longer needed to say anything.
Li Buxiang also looked at him calmly and said, "If I use you, will you betray the truth in the future?"
Li Si smiled faintly and said, "I don't think this is a question that people like you need to ask."
"Oh?" Li Buxiang was a little surprised by his answer.
"If I want to rebel, you will kill me or I will kill you." Li Si said: "If I grow to the point where I can kill you, it means you are very at ease with me and willing to let me take your place in Changling. If not, then you would have killed me before I rebel. So this kind of problem is meaningless."
“What is the city’s most lacking?”
Li Buxiang's expression did not change at all. He looked at Li Si very gently and asked again.
Li Si shook her head and said, "I don't know."
"It is not the lack of a despicable existence like Gu Liren. What it lacks the most is always balance."
Li Buxiang said lightly: "Only by keeping this city balanced can the city move forward more smoothly and continue to become stronger."
"The Nangong family will suffer from the backlash from Ye Xiao. No matter who wins or loses, no one seems to be focusing on these young people in Bashan Sword Field."
He paused a little, looked at Li Si, and said, "If you want to defeat someone, you don't have to defeat that person first, let him lose it constantly, and make him doubt everything, and then you can completely change and defeat this person."
"Wang Jingmeng is so outstanding."
He paused a little and said, "These weeds cannot grow in Changling at will. Have you seen that star?"
Li Si's eyes narrowed slightly, and he lowered his head and remained silent. He suddenly heard this sentence, and he was stunned and raised his head.
He had no idea which star Li Buxiang was talking about, but looking along with Li Buxiang's gaze, he suddenly understood which star Li Buxiang was talking about.
There are many bright stars in the starry sky in the south.
However, one of them shone with a strange scarlet light in the night sky.
"That star is called Demon Star, and it only appears once every many years."
Li Buxiang also squinted his eyes and looked at the star. The light of the star was reflected in the depths of his pupils, making his pupils scarlet. "That star will not bring disaster, but it will have a unique sense with a strange sword, which can make people find the sword. The appearance of this star means that the sword is about to be born and will be found again. The sword is called the Demon Sword. I want you to find this sword and then destroy Lin Zhuojiu."
Li Si's face has not changed much.
He didn't even ask the question about the Demon Sword. He just thought for a while and said, "Why is Lin Zhujiu?"
"There are many smart people, but few are smart and unchangeable."
Li Buxiang said: "Unfortunately, Lin Zhuojiu seems to be such a person."
"If he had learned about your evaluation, he would probably be very happy." Li Si said.
