Zhonglingqi was taken away from Longzhu by two Jinyiwei selected by Zhu Zhi. At the request of Yu Shiqi, Zhu Zhi ordered one of them to take Zhonglingqi back to the garrison and report the news to relieve Wei Yihui's concerns about Zhonglingqi's disappearance.

After temporarily lifting the burden in his heart, Yu Shiqi and Nian Jiu calmed down and prepared to face off with Nie Guijiang after climbing to the top of the dragon pillar.

"Do you want to go up together?" Zhu Zhi asked the two after checking the mesh gun he carried with him.

Yu Shiqi and Nian Jiu nodded affirmatively. In their hearts, both public and private have reasons to fight Nie Guijiang to the death.

"Then follow up." Zhu Zhi did not refuse. He knew that Nie Guijiang was a difficult enemy. Even if he brought many subordinates with great skills tonight, he was not sure to take them down. It would be no bad thing to have two more helpers.

What's more, he had seen Yu Shiqi's ability in Wuyue. With the sword that bounced off the skeleton bullet at that time, he was sure that this young man's attainment in swordsmanship had the potential to catch up with Liu Yike.

The only good news now is that since Nie Guijiang is heading to the top of the dragon pillar, he should not be able to escape. With the height of the dragon pillar, even if a person with excellent light skills jumps off from above, he will definitely fall to death. So the only way out is the way they come up from below.

In other words, the enemy has been forced into a dead end by them.

The fourth floor...the fifth floor...the crowd was cautious all the way, guarding against possible mechanism traps and Nie Guijiang's ambush, which did not appear again on the way upwards.

Unlike the strange arrangement of the three layers in front of the dragon pillar, they did not find any abnormalities from the fourth layer to the ninth layer connecting the zenith.

There is a skylight on the top of the ninth floor, and you can see the night sky with twinkling stars upwards. The cold wind pours in from above, which is already the highest point of the dragon pillar.

Nie Guijiang must have come to the top through the skylight, and everyone thought so.

"I'll go up first." Yu Shiqi stopped Nian Jiu who was eager to try.

Nian Jiu hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to believe him, but just solemnly reminded him: "Young Master, be careful."

She changed her name to Yu Shiqi many times these days, but Yu Shiqi didn't think much about it. She inserted her long sword behind her and climbed up the bamboo ladder leading to the zenith under the gaze of everyone.

The moment his head poked out the skylight, a strong wind blew over his face. Yu Shiqi instinctively shrank down and dodged, but he did not see the imagined weapon attacking. He calmed down and found that this was just a strong wind naturally formed at high altitude, and then climbed up again.

On the top of the dragon pillar is a circular platform like a jade plate. The giant dragon coiling the dragon pillar is hanging its head above and staring at the jade plate. The huge dragon ball held in its mouth seems to fall into the jade plate at any time.

Yu Shiqi looked around and looked for Nie Guijiang's figure, and finally found him on a tentacle of the dragon.

Nie Guijiang sat in the depression of the tentacle, looking down at Yu Shiqi with his legs raised: "The opportunity to overlook the entire imperial capital from such a high place is not available every day, young master, don't miss it."

"What I want to do most now is to kick you down from such a high place."

"Like Zhonglingqi likes to talk, is this just like a father, just like a son?" Nie Guijiang stood up. The space on the dragon beard that could stand is as narrow as a single-plank bridge. There was a strong wind blew through the air from time to time, but he stood steadily, as if he had roots under his feet.

Nian Jiu also climbed up from below and stood beside Yu Shiqi: "Youduling, you are a smart person. How could you be willing to let yourself and your subordinates be used as a knife this time?"

"Being used as a knife is the fate of the assassin." Nie Guijiang was not angry at all. "Only a sharp knife can be appreciated, and a knife like Zhonglingqi, which is indecisive and rusty, will only be abandoned."

"However, we believe that swords will eventually be abandoned, and there will be a day of great harmony in the world." Nian Jiu said generously, "When everything returns to order, there will be no disputes in the world. By that time, neither sharp sword nor rusty sword will have any value for existence!"

"Is this the ideal of Yunzhongjian?" Nie Guijiang smiled contemptuously, "You people who are used to using swords to intimidate the world of the world actually want to build a world of great harmony with abandoned swords?"

"This is the ideal of everyone in the world who pursues happiness!"

"This is impossible." Nie Guijiang's eyes seemed to mock her childishness, "What is Datong? All the people in the world have been engraved in the bones since they were born into this world. How can you erase it if you want to? Like the Forgetful River, like the Desolation, we are destined to hold swords in our hands since we came to the world!"

"Enough." Yu Shiqi shouted impatiently, "It is precisely because of the existence of someone like you who is afraid of the world's chaos that this ideal seems difficult to realize. Yunzhongjian's mission is not destined to hold a sword, but to destroy a person like you."

Nie Guijiang raised his eyebrows and asked back, "Cutting people like me can realize your unrealistic ideals? Someone thought that supporting the emperor he trusted could bring welfare to the world. What's the result? Nineteen years have passed, Chen Lin is still the same Chen Lin, and the world is still the same. And the emperor who once trampled through the Northern Barbarians who he did not hesitate to support, now his life is like a candle in the wind, and no one remembers the loyal and wise corpses left under the weeds in the north."

The Jinyiwei also came to the platform at the top of the dragon pillar. Everyone heard Nie Guijiang's harsh speech, and everyone, including Zhu Zhi, fell into silence.

Nie Guijiang was not talking nonsense. The emperor ascended the throne for nineteen years, and used the two reigns of Xiuhe and Beining. Xiuhe lasted for two years, while Beining has been seventeen years. Chen Lin has experienced several wars in the past nineteen years. Although he defeated the powerful Rongxia Empire on the grassland, hundreds of thousands of young and strong men buried their bones in the spring.

Zhonglingqi thought that the emperor who could make the world better would make the greatest contribution in his life was only to exchange for peace in the north through war. The price behind this was the gradually deviating from the hearts of the people, the accusation of military military force, the increasingly empty treasury, and the betrayal of the relatives.

"You might as well admit that you can do nothing about this world." Nie Guijiang jumped down from the dragon beard and fell in front of everyone. "The so-called lofty ideals are nothing but hypocritical excuses made up by those who are leaders to calm their hearts. As long as the sword edge of the Yunzhongjian never dares to point to the court, you will always be just a hunting dog with ropes tied around your neck, and you will never be worthy of expecting a great harmony in the world."

Yu Shiqi and Nian Jiu were shocked. In principle, Yunzhongjian did not involve temple affairs. Even if they were to deal with court officials, they would ask the Ministry of Justice for assistance, but there were very few such examples.

There is no difference in the evil in the temple and the evil in the rivers and lakes in nature, but Yunzhongjian usually only acts on the latter. As Nie Guijiang said, in order to maintain the rationality of its own existence, Yunzhongjian dare not easily use the rules of dealing with the evil in the rivers and lakes to those who belong to the court.

But if they could point the sword edge at the court unscrupulously, they would become an existence that was no different from an assassin, so this is a paradox.

"Don't bewitched by him." Zhu Zhi's firm voice awakened everyone from his own doubts. "The world is a very distant thing. Even if we stand at the top of such a high dragon pillar, all we can see in our eyes is just a piece near the imperial capital. Therefore, it is enough to protect what we can see in our eyes."

After hearing Zhu Zhi's words, Yu Shiqi and Nian Jiu's eyes returned to Qingming. They no longer thought about the great and righteous theories initiated by Nie Guijiang, but returned to their original intention when they became the sword in Yunzhong - protecting what they could protect.

"Haha." Nie Guijiang didn't seem to have expected Zhu Zhi to break his remarks so quickly, and showed a helpless smile, then calmly pulled out the long knife on his waist.

"It seems that we will return to the end.asxs..." He shook his arms and raised his sword, and looked down on the people in front of him and said, "Talk with a sword."
