That night, Tang Chao and Li Lian had a long talk and explained clearly what happened during the separation period. Although they occasionally had emotional excitement and passionate kisses, they were not as chaotic as they were. They felt happy. Even though they had not slept all night, But he was in good spirits and not tired at all.

After walking out of the cave, Zhuan Xin said with a smile: "Brother Tang Xian, I am a good gatekeeper."

Tang Chao laughed: "Thank you, big brother, I'm so polite."

Say that and bow.

Zhuan Xin quickly stopped him: "Brother Tang Xian, what are you talking about? Do you know the danger?"

When he said this, his face immediately became serious.

"What?" Tang Chao asked in surprise.

He said: "My dear brother, there was a fierce battle last night. Do you know who won and who lost?"

Tang Chao's heart tightened: "I don't know,"

"Let me tell you, of course it was my senior brother who lost, but it's really embarrassing to say that," Zhuan Xin shook his head.

"Why is it embarrassing,"

"Do you even need to ask? My senior brother single-handedly defeated Jin Liang and Gu Du and chased them to me. I, I was really scared."

"What?" Tang Chao's palms immediately became sweaty. "Elder brother has chased us here."

"Yes," Zhuan Xin nodded dejectedly, and then said: "I know that even if Jin Liang and Gu Du are not dead, they must have escaped. With Zhu Xin alone, there is no way he can stop my senior brother's sword. of,"

It turns out that Sheva's martial arts are beyond the imagination of Jin Liang and Gu Du. They may seem ordinary, but they can see skills in the ordinary and turn decay into magic. For example, when they used the move "Golden Needle to End Calamity" , Jin Liang and Gu Du were attacking from the left and right. It stands to reason that Sheva must use the "Water Dividing Emei" move to be able to balance both offense and defense. Unexpectedly, Sheva actually let go of his sword at this moment, and struck with his wrist from an impossible angle. Jin Liang's "Jianzhen point", and then held the sword to block the fatal blow of Gu Du Tiezhi.

This move looks very dangerous, but it is actually very clever.

For a swordsman, the sword in his hand is his life. Most people would rather be stabbed with a hole in their body than let go of the sword, because they all feel that letting go of the sword means letting others slaughter them. Wa took advantage of people's misunderstanding and let go of his sword, injuring Jin Liang.

Both of them are martial arts masters and have rich combat experience. The martial arts of any one of them is actually not much different from Sheva. Even if they cannot win together, there should be no problem in protecting themselves, but one move cannot Shen immediately fell into Sheva's trap, Jin Liang was injured, suffered severe pain in his shoulder, and his combat power was greatly reduced. Of course, the advantage of the two encircling them was gone, so they had to escape.

Sheva did not pursue him, sneered, and followed the footsteps of Tang Chao and others. He knew that his junior brother was dedicated to mediocre martial arts, and he could definitely handle it.

Sure enough, Sheva quickly saw Zhuan Xin and sneered in his heart. Unexpectedly, my junior brother had already found the cave where I was hiding. It was not easy, so I didn't fear him and came out to face him.

Zhuan Xin was shocked: "Elder brother, you, you are here,"

He knew that in the current situation, he was doomed, and he regretted that the three of them did not join forces to kill the senior brother.

But the strange thing is that there is no joy of victory on Sheva's face. Instead, there is just a look of being tired of everything. She nodded slightly as an answer.

Zhuan Xin didn't know what to say, and the two sides fell into a stalemate for a while.

After a long time, Sheva said: "Junior brother, if you don't kill me, I won't kill you. Do you know, I, Sheva, don't kill everyone?"

Zhuan Xin couldn't figure out what he meant by saying this, so he had to answer: "Yes,"

"It's good that you know. Senior brother wants you to understand that my only enemy is Li Gesang. Others are not my enemies. As long as they don't hurt me, I will not hurt him. Of course, this includes you. , including Xie Lian, and even the Tang Dynasty,"

"You, senior brother, you, you even forgave the Tang Dynasty," Zhuan Xin was overjoyed.

He knew that in the current situation, not only was he destined to die, but the Tang Dynasty would not be spared either, but when he suddenly heard that neither of them would die, he couldn't help but get excited.

"Yes." Sheva's eyes were very lonely. He looked at the dark night sky in the distance of Zhongnan Mountain, and his heart was full of condolences: "Tang Chao is a talent. He should have killed me when he caught me. In the end, he showed mercy and didn't kill me, so he allowed me to see Ayi before he died. If nothing else, I've always been grateful to him for this. I'm afraid he was wrong and thought I had always wanted to kill him. He, in fact, was not the case. Later, Ayi confided to me the secret that he had this person in his heart, Sheva, and then died. I, I am even more grateful to him. If he had not taken me back to the Nanzhao court, I would have been in trouble for the rest of my life. I don’t know Ayi’s thoughts. I am alive now and happier than ever before. My heart is very peaceful. I just want to leave Xie Lian well after handing it over to the Tang Dynasty. Now, my wish I’m afraid it can be achieved,”

Zhuan Xin was getting more and more surprised. He wondered if the senior brother had been so shocked that he was talking nonsense.

Just listen to Sheva continue: "Actually, this kid from the Tang Dynasty didn't have to let the people from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple arrest me, because I was going to send Xie Lian back to him. I kidnapped Xie Lian, but actually I didn't I don't want to hurt her, nor do I want to hurt the Tang Dynasty. I just want to make Li Gesang anxious and furious, and let him chase him out of Nanzhao himself. As long as he leaves Nanzhao and leaves his old nest, I will have a way to kill him. He, I didn’t expect him to be so ignorant. My spies in Nanzhao told me that he had been in the Nanzhao court for a long time, handling court affairs, and he actually forgot about his own daughter being kidnapped. , I suddenly felt that he was a cruel person, and it was precisely because of this that I felt that he was extremely powerful. I thought that I could only find other ways to avenge A Yi. I don’t know why. As soon as I saw Xie Lian, I thought of A Yi. She seemed to trust me very much and told me everything. I, I even became her adoptive father."

"This, senior brother, is this true?"

"Haha, yes, many things in the world are so strange. After I became her adopted father, I suddenly felt that I had to do my best for this adopted daughter, so I brought you here. I didn't expect that you would treat me as an enemy."

"This, Senior Brother, we have all wrongly blamed you,"

Sheva smiled contemptuously: "Junior brother, if I want to kill you and Tang Chao now, it would be a piece of cake. However, I have just said that you and Tang Chao have been kind to me, and I will not kill you." ,However, I want you to promise me one thing,"

"What's up,"

"I want you and Tang Chao to promise me that from now on, they will not care about anything between Li Gesang and me, and we will not help each other."

"Of course I can agree to this, but I still don't know what Tang Xiandi is thinking," he said with a very embarrassed look on his face.

Sheva nodded with satisfaction: "Junior brother, you are indeed an honest person. If it were anyone else, I'm afraid you would have agreed on behalf of the Tang Dynasty immediately. Because of this, I believe your words. Well, everyone I'm hungry, I'll go find something to eat, and when Tang Chao and the others come out, I'll ask him in person,"

Such words appeared in the mouth of the murderous Sheva. Although Zhuoxin found it unbelievable, he was convinced that he heard it correctly, so he could only shout, "What the hell?" When I thought about it, Senior Brother Sheva could have killed both of us immediately. Okay, if we just cut the grass and get rid of the root cause, there won't be any problems, so why would he lie to us by saying these things?

Thinking about it again, I suddenly felt that what the senior brother said was true.

I felt vaguely in my heart that it seemed that the senior brother was really a kindred spirit. Apart from Xie Xiaoyi, he was someone who could bring up and let go of everything.

But Zhuan Xin was immediately frightened. He was really a terrible person. It was really a headache for Li Gesang to have such an enemy in his life.

Of course Zhuan Xin didn't dare to leave. He stayed at the edge of the cave and watched Sheva's tall and thin figure disappear into the dusk.

I don't know why, but Sheva still didn't come back until this time the next morning, so Zhuan Xin felt scared.

At this moment, the aroma of barbecue came.

Everyone had been hungry all night. When they smelled the aroma of barbecue, their index fingers moved and the amount of saliva secreted in their mouths increased greatly.

But except for Li Lian, Zhuan Xin and Tang Chao suddenly lost their appetite, because at this time, they saw Sheva again, this tall, thin man with a bald head and a face that looked like a bitter melon.

Sheva looked very at ease: "We are all hungry. It took me a long time to catch this deer. After disemboweling it and grilling it, it took a long time. Let's just make do with it."

"Thank you, foster father." When Zhuan Xin and Tang Chao refused to accept the offer, Li Lian ran over and took the deer meat from Sheva's hand.

She tore off one leg first and put it in Sheva's hand: "Father, this is for you. It's a reward for roasting meat for us. Take it."

Sheva was not good at words, so he smiled and took the meat.

Then, Li Lian tore off the other two deer legs and gave one to each of Zhuan Xin and Tang Chao. She tore off a small piece of meat and chewed it with relish. It seemed that when she was with Sheva before, This is the kind of life she lives most of the time, otherwise, she wouldn't be used to it.

But Li Lian suddenly stopped eating. She looked at the three of them and said, "What's wrong? You don't want to eat." She looked at the three of them with wide round eyes.

Tang Chao gently waved his hand to signal Li Lian not to speak. He looked at Sheva and said with a wry smile: "Sheva, congratulations on your mastery of martial arts. We are now meat on your ass. You can cut it how you want." Well, but I have a request, please give me a happy one,"

By this time, Tang Chao had no fighting spirit, because the "Gust of Wind" anesthetic on his body disappeared without knowing when, and the last heavy weapon on his body was gone. Even if he wanted to struggle, he didn't know. How to struggle, I really don’t know what to do.

But Sheva suddenly smiled: "Tang Chao, I have already said everything I should say to my junior brother. I have been waiting for you to come out just to ask you personally whether you agree not to care about the relationship between me and Li Gesang in the future." If you agree not to help us, I won’t kill you."

Tang Chao didn't believe his ears for a moment. He didn't expect that this murderous guy would roast deer meat by himself just so that he and Li Lian could reminisce in the cave. He didn't expect that he would let him go and agree to such an innocuous thing. matter.

This shocked him so much that he was speechless. He never believed that anything could bring about such an earth-shaking change in Sheva.

Sheva smiled and said, "Believe it or not, that's what I asked you anyway. Just answer it quickly."

Tang Chao prayed to the Buddha for blessing nine times in his heart, without saying a word: "Okay, I will definitely promise you. If you violate this oath, heaven and earth will destroy you."

I thought to myself, the emperor has great martial arts skills and there are so many ministers around him. No matter how good your martial arts skills are, Sheva, the emperor can't deal with you. Why should you care about their affairs? After thinking about it, I suddenly felt that it was no big deal not to help Li Gesang. of.

Sheva smiled slightly: "I knew you would agree, but I know you are cunning. If I don't get your promise, I still think it would be better to kill you."

Tang Chao's heart tightened again and he quickly said: "Senior Sheva, please rest assured that I will strictly maintain neutrality. However, I still advise Senior Sheva,"

"What do you want to persuade me to do?"

"I think, senior Xie Xiaoyi is dead. People cannot be resurrected after death, so the past is over."

"Shut up, if you say another word, I will kill you immediately,"

Tang Chao immediately shut up, not knowing what was wrong.

Sheva's face was ashen, the veins on his forehead were protruding, and his "Jingming point" was beating up and down: "Didn't I just say that you promised not to care about this matter, why did you immediately destroy your oath?"

Tang Chao screamed in his heart, "My mother," but luckily he stopped quickly, otherwise, these nonsense words would have cost him his life immediately.

"Yes, senior, I was wrong. I will never talk about this matter in the future, nor will I care about the matter between senior and His Majesty,"

"That's good. Remember, you must treat Lian'er well and don't let her be wronged. Let me tell you, if I find out that you bullied her, I won't let you go."

"Yes, I will definitely do it," hearing him say this, Tang Chao really wanted to worship him.

Sheva smiled slightly: "That's good. You should be practicing the martial arts in the "Kuocang Mountain Martial Arts"."

Tang Chao was stunned. He didn't expect that Sheval even knew this. He hesitated for a moment and then replied: "Yes, your majesty saw that I had merit and passed it on to me."

After saying this, Sheva believed it. Of course he didn't know that the "Kuocang Mountain Martial Arts" was in the hands of the Tang Dynasty, but Sheva knew that if Li Lian didn't pass on his words, Li Gesang would also pass it on. So I have no doubts about the lies of the Tang Dynasty.

Hear Sheva say: "When you practice, you must have compassion for the common people in order to make great progress in martial arts. Otherwise, you will easily go astray."

"I, my whole body's meridians are severely damaged, and I just practiced casually. I know that I will never be able to practice martial arts like you, Senior Sheva, in my entire life."

"Otherwise," Sheva retorted, "Martial arts is about understanding. Although your qualifications are poor, you are extremely smart. You may be able to find another path and practice advanced martial arts. I just said that when practicing martial arts, you must I have to have the idea of ​​caring for the common people, which is what I have learned from my previous lessons. In order to practice martial arts, I only wanted to be brave and diligent, without caring about the common people. As a result, I became so angry that I killed my own master. , I, I think about it now, even if it is for A Yi, it is not appropriate. The master is my only relative in this life. He raised me and taught me martial arts. Now that I think about it bit by bit, I really feel guilty. very,"

After hearing this, Zhan Xin also had an angry look on his face.

Sheva suddenly smiled: "Well, for Lian'er's sake, I'll teach you three tricks. From now on, she won't have to worry about becoming a widow."

Li Lian was ashamed, but eager to teach Sheva the martial arts of the Tang Dynasty.

Little did they know that when Tang Chao heard this, he immediately said: "Senior Sheva, thank you, but I have already said that my meridians all over my body are seriously damaged. In fact, it doesn't matter whether I learn martial arts or not."

Sheva said: "No, not only martial arts, but also when doing anything, you must master these three moves. Just listen to me."

Tang Chao was in awe and said: "Please tell me,"

Sheva said: "There are so many turmoils in the world. Whether it is because of beauty, money, power, status or interests, there will be 'wars'. However, some wars are not as bloody as real swords and guns, but they are fierce. The degree is the same, so you have to practice three moves well. First, practice Ming Jin well."

"What is Ming Jin?"
