Before Yu Shiqi could say anything, An Nianjiu asked with some dissatisfaction: "Let me ask you, what does it mean... to teach you that I am not just a woman who is good at words? How else is she good?"

This question was really difficult to answer. Yu Shiqi thought about it for a long time, but in the end he laughed out loud.

An Nianjiu originally had the intention of launching an army to investigate the crime, but his smile made him lose the mood. Then he thought about it and let it go. After all, he was not the real owner of this enemy, so why should he be so lenient...

It's just that I'm still a little bit confused in the end.

"Not serious." An Nianjiu said angrily at him, "It's a pity that the Yunzhong Sword has fallen to this point. I want to lead such a team to deal with Feng Jiazheng."

"The times are bad. Yunzhongjian is no longer as powerful as it used to be when it had more soldiers and generals. You should be more patient." Yu Shiqi said jokingly.

Over the years, the number and difficulty of Yunzhongjian's missions have gradually increased, but the scale of the villa's training of junior personnel has not improved much. Especially after the First Battle in the Imperial Capital and the turmoil of the Ten Evils' escape from prison, the recruitment of personnel has long been unable to keep up.

It was a loss. Even Yu Youci and other newcomers who had just officially joined the Yunzhong Sword were recruited to participate in the crusade against Qingdu. It was evident that they were destitute and helpless.

This time, if it weren't for Xuannv and the people from Jindaomen who came to help, even the current team wouldn't be able to gather together.

"The previous Ten Evils attacked the villa when they escaped. Many senior teachers were brutally murdered in order to protect the students. The villa's operation for many years was seriously damaged. The replacement of the old and new Yunzhongjian will inevitably be interrupted." An Nianjiu leaned against the corridor with a sad look on his face.

Under the pillar, "One of the elite Yunzhong Swordsmen like Senior Yuyin is dead now. Don't expect to have successors in the short term."

"Are you worried about this?"

"I don't know whether we will bleed out first in the end, or whether we will kill the evil ones first." An Nianjiu shook his head and said, "Are you sure about this?"

"Except for Mu Tianze, I am not too worried about anyone else." Yu Shiqi confessed, "Mu Tianze's skills are even feared by Senior Liu. Although Feng Jiazheng and Xiao Ponu are tied for the top three, they are not as good as Senior Liu.

In his eyes, he is no match for him."

"Then do the easy things first and then the hard ones. Even if only Mu Tianze is left in the end, it is better than the ten evils wreaking havoc."

Yu Shiqi nodded in agreement. If they could successfully deal with the others, leaving Mu Tianze alone in the end would not be a problem.

"You must be very tired from today's martial arts performance. Go get some rest early." An Nianjiu's voice softened slightly, "We don't have much time left. If the situation changes..."

The way she hesitated to speak aroused Yu Shiqi's surprise. Hearing her mention that "the current situation has changed", Yu Shiqi, who had never cared much about the affairs of the court, was a little wary at this time.

"Is there any important news in the imperial capital?" Yu Shiqi asked.

"According to a secret report from Lingyin, the Beishan Imperial Tomb that was destroyed in the previous incident has been excavated and renovated recently. The imperial court has confirmed that the late emperor Mu Zhiren passed away. The regent Mu Qingxuan may soon wear a yellow robe." An Nianjiu frowned with worry.

Said, "It's hard to say whether the new king will still support us as always..."

After not hearing a response from the person next to him for a long time, An Nianjiu turned around in surprise and suddenly found Yu Shiqi looking up at the starry sky outside the corridor in a daze, with a sad and solemn expression.

"Yu Yanzhi? What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing..." He came back to his senses and smiled mockingly, "Suddenly I thought about my father... If Zhong Lingqi heard the news, would he be sad? After the emperor left, I'm afraid he would be

This is the largest remnant of the group of people who created the Bac Ninh era."

An Nianjiu could hear the sadness in his words. Although she didn't understand it clearly, she could vaguely feel that he seemed to have a different kind of emotion for that period of history.

Why does a person who has never served the emperor, who is outside the general trend of the world, and has never seen the Beizheng Tieliu, have such feelings for the Beining era? The only explanation An Nianjiu can think of is that during the chaos in the imperial capital

Shi Yu Shiqi experienced something that changed his perspective.

"Alas..." After he sighed, he sat down on the bench next to the corridor and put his hands on his knees.

An Nianjiu hesitated for a moment, thinking that he probably had something to say, so she walked to him and sat down slowly.

"I suddenly remembered someone. No, I have never forgotten her." Yu Shiqi said, "When I first came back from Xihuang, Miss Baili... it was Hu Yan who invited me to stay with Jincheng's family.

We were having dinner at a large restaurant. There was a troupe performing a play by Zi Chen Kan Luan in the restaurant that day. At that time, I was only busy chatting with Hu Yan and peeking at my parents. I missed the actors performing the play, but I still remember the final lyrics.

.”

"Twenty years of fighting, swords and guns have broken down all the weeds and died. The dream of great unity is all written down in barnyard books."

An Nianjiu listened quietly, knowing that she didn't need to say anything at this time. When a man is immersed in remembering another man's desolate passion and despair, he doesn't need any approval or recognition.

"Actually, I didn't think much of it at the time. Later, when I saw the murals under the imperial mausoleum in the imperial capital, I vaguely understood the significance of the word Beining. Before Zhong Lingqi found out that I was his son, he was watching

After reading my painting, he wanted me to change the murals on the imperial mausoleum for him, because most of those murals depicted the tragic defeat in the Northern Expedition... He didn't want his emperor friend to sleep among these scenes after his death.

.”

"This was not done in the end, and I don't know if the previous war destroyed the murals there. I had a relationship with the emperor. Just one meeting made me understand why Zhong Lingqi chose to follow him. Even a real hero

It will not be overshadowed until the last moment." Yu Shiqi leaned over and covered his face and said in a low voice.

He didn't know why he said this to An Nianjiu. Maybe he just suddenly heard the news of the emperor's death and felt something in his heart. In these days when Yue'er was not around, he often felt that there were a lot of things pressing in his heart.

There is no way to talk about things. After all, friends are far and near, and there are some things that cannot be said openly to them.

And intimacy may not be the only criterion for open-hearted conversation. After all, everyone has their own position and difficulties.

Although his master and his wife were as close to him as family members, Yu Shiqi did not dare to confide in them what he had just said, and he himself did not understand what the central idea was. Just like Wei Qiutong seemed bold and reckless, but he only dared to

He showed his unscrupulous side in front of him and did not dare to talk nonsense to his junior sister Liu Chengfeng who always obeyed his words.

"Are you done?" An Nianjiu asked in a low voice after waiting for a long time for him to continue speaking.

"Well... I'm sorry for making you laugh." He adjusted his mood and scratched his hair in embarrassment, "Obviously I'm just a person I met once, and I didn't even have a few words to say, but I'm taking care of myself.

The sentimentality here... is a bit pretentious."

"Nothing." An Nianjiu shrugged indifferently, "Of course someone who can make Mr. Zhong willing to follow must have such charm. Otherwise, how could tens of thousands of people risk their lives and march north? It's a pity...

"

She didn't finish her words, leaving the second half of the sentence for Yu Shiqi to think about.

But Yu Shiqi's next soliloquy left An Nianjiu stunned.
