The Bad Guys: Don't call me Little Emperor Taizong

"Oh my goodness!"

The stunning beauty had no time to appreciate it. Driven by the threat of death, she instantly threw everything she had into the air, and her internal energy also poured out.

At this time, if they had any strength left, they would be cut into pieces and tortured to death.

Only countless "ding-ding-dang-dang" metallic sounds were heard in the air, and countless flying knives and hidden weapons were disrupted in their directions.

But even so, there was still a willow-leaf flying knife as thin as a cicada's wing that penetrated all obstacles and pierced into Qingguo's throat in the blink of an eye.

It was too late to defend at this time, Qingguo could only close his eyes and give up struggling.

"Sister, I'm leaving now. I'll leave Zhang Lang to you from now on."

"elder sister……"

Qingcheng's tears burst out, and even Zhang Zifan didn't care at this time, and hurriedly stepped in front of Qingcheng to block her.

But there was something that was faster than her. Three cold lights arrived first, almost brushing her hair, and hit the willow-leaf flying knife steadily.

With a "ding" sound, the willow leaf flying knife was deflected, passed by Qingguo's neck, and with a streak of blood, it fiercely nailed into the tree trunk behind her.

And the three cold lights also fell to the ground, revealing their true forms.

"Huayang needle?"

Li Changping raised his eyebrows slightly and turned to look at Li Xingyun: "Why save her?"

"I……"

Only when he met that pair of red-gold eyes did Li Xingyun feel what it was like to have his scalp tingling.

The cold gaze from above even made him want to kneel down, and even the hand holding the sword began to tremble involuntarily.

But then, a warm current surged from his heart, helping him relieve the pressure.

He knew that this was the power of blood.

The pride hidden deep in his blood would not allow him to surrender to anyone.

Li Xingyun instantly gained confidence and explained, "Killing is not a crime. They just had a few words with me. It's not a crime punishable by death."

"You can't achieve anything great if you are soft-hearted."

"event?"

Li Xingyun shook his head, and then smiled self-deprecatingly: "I don't want to achieve anything great, isn't it good to live a happy life as a free and easy wanderer?"

"So, you don't want to avenge your family?"

Li Changping continued to ask questions.

But when he finished asking this question, Li Xingyun's face changed drastically. He suddenly pulled out his sword and pointed it forward: "You really know my identity! Who sent you?"

Then he looked at Shangguan Yunque beside him: "You also came with him, who are you? Why are you following me?"

"Who are we? You can find out everything by going to the Hidden Soldiers Valley."

"The Hidden Soldiers Valley? The Hidden Soldiers Valley again? Why is it the Hidden Soldiers Valley?"

Li Xingyun retreated again and again.

At this moment, all the past scenes flashed through his mind.

Countless questions instantly filled his mind.

Why was it that on the day of the palace coup, all the descendants of the Li family were destroyed, but only he was able to fake his own death and escape?

Why is it that in this chaotic world where even beggars can't survive, I can be carefree and enjoy eight years of comfort in Jianlu?

Why could the black figure on the back mountain teach me martial arts?

How come I happened to encounter the thousand-year-old fire Ganoderma lucidum and the Xuanming Sect just after coming down the mountain?

There are also Li Changping, Shangguan Yunque, Ji Ruxue, The Bad Guys, The Valley of Hidden Soldiers and the Longquan Sword.

Why does everything in this world revolve around me?

Am I a genius? Maybe, but definitely not as good as Li Changping.

Am I strong? Maybe, but definitely not as strong as the black-robed figure in the back mountain.

Why is that? Is it because of this bloodline?

Thinking of a possibility, Li Xingyun's lips trembled slightly, and veins gradually appeared on his forehead.

He is afraid and terrified.

He was afraid that after going to the Cangbing Valley, he would be greeted by a burden so heavy that it would crush him.

He was afraid of the disappointed looks of those who gave something for him but received nothing in return.

He just wanted to escape.

Escape back to Jianlu and bury yourself like an ostrich.

Even if I would no longer care about worldly affairs, even if I would be lonely for the rest of my life, I would not want to take on that heavy burden.

bang...

Li Changping rushed forward without hesitation to Li Xingyun's retreat, and then punched him hard and sent him flying.

"You are a coward, you are not worthy to be his descendant."

As he spoke, he walked towards Li Xingyun again, grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up.

"Do you know how many people in this world have sacrificed for you? Do you know why your family and Li Huan died?"

"Because they are weak. In this world, weakness is the original sin."

"The dwarf of the Xuanming Sect has at least the power of the Great Heaven. There are also people above the Great Heaven in the Liang Kingdom. What can you use to take revenge? What can you use to protect the people around you?"

Li Changping had a sarcastic look on his face.

"Are you asking others to work for you? But what will you give them in return? A simple thank you? Or your insignificant dream?"

"me……"

Li Xingyun looked at me for a long time, but his eyes became dimmer and he didn't say a word.

At this time, Lu Linxuan ran over.

There was a pink little snake coiled in her arms.

Let’s take a look at Li Xingyun first. Although he looks downcast, nothing serious is wrong with him.

Then he hesitated and said: "Changping, my senior brother..."

From the long conversation just now, plus Li Xingyun's reaction, even if Lu Linxuan was dumb, he could probably guess that this senior brother had a special identity.

"The prince of the Tang Dynasty, a remnant of the previous dynasty."

Li Changping did not hide anything. Just eight big words were enough to shake Lu Linxuan's mind.

Even the snake chick in the arms seemed to sense an earthquake and rushed back into its owner's arms in panic.

Li Changping's red-gold eyes immediately turned as dark as ink.

As the murderous intent subsided and the internal strength subsided, the blood-stained hair on his back slowly turned back to black.

The whole person seemed to have returned to the past, like that weak scholar.

Chapter 28 Choice

"Brother, you are actually a prince of the previous dynasty~"

Lu Linxuan widened his eyes and even felt a little unfamiliar with this senior brother with whom he had been together day and night.

Li Xingyun shook his head dejectedly: "It's just a thing of the past, there's no need to mention it!"

"Is there no need to mention it? I guess you don't dare to mention it?"

Before he could finish, Li Changping interrupted him with a hint of mockery on his lips: "Why? Are you afraid of shouldering that heavy burden? Afraid that you can't shoulder the overwhelming responsibility? Afraid that your incompetence will make this chaotic world even more chaotic? Afraid that you will be pointed at and cursed by thousands of people?"

"Stop talking!"

Perhaps it was because the last fig leaf was ruthlessly lifted, Li Xingyun became angry and humiliated and threw a punch hard.

However, Li Changping caught it lightly, then he turned his wrist and threw him several feet away with irresistible force.

"Cough cough..."

Li Xingyun sat up, holding his chest, with a trickle of blood dripping from the corner of his mouth. After looking up and seeing a pair of eyes looking down at him, he clenched his fists in humiliation, and then as if he had thought of something, he loosened his fists dejectedly.

"Of course I am willing to save the world, but I know my ability. I only have unskilled medical skills. I can only save people, not the world."

"Is that your answer?"

Li Changping's eyes showed even more disdain.

"Why? In peaceful times, you could sit back and enjoy the people's wealth? In troubled times, you can live in peace and become a coward? Your parents and brothers have paid for their sins, so why can you survive?"

"Living a carefree life? Saving the world with medicine? Such a great ambition~"

"Are the people who were harmed by the chaotic times willing? Can the loyal officials and generals who were killed by your family rest in peace? And now, there are people who still yearn for the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Is this your explanation to them?"

For some reason, Li Changping felt inexplicably irritated when he saw Li Xingyun like this.

I am angry at his lack of resistance, but also feel sorry for his misfortune.

Even if he stood up and insulted me harshly at this moment, even if he drew his sword and stabbed me, it would be much better than sitting on the ground in silence.

Seeing that he still didn't speak, Li Changping continued:

"In the sixth year of Daye, hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops besieged Yanmen. From the Sui emperor to the 150,000 soldiers and civilians, everyone was terrified. At that time, he was younger than you, but he dared to take up his sword and mount his horse, leaving only a dust of smoke in Jinyang."

"At Hulao Pass, he only had 3,500 black-armored cavalrymen, yet he dared to charge into Dou Jiande's army of 100,000."

"The bloodstains at Xuanwu Gate had not yet dried, and people inside and outside were in a state of panic. However, he went alone and signed the Weishui Alliance, which bought him a three-year buffer period, which enabled him to defeat the Turks in the future."

"He remained calm in the face of hundreds of thousands of troops. I never thought his descendants would end up like this. They don't even have the courage to draw their swords."

"I really doubt whether you are a prince of the Tang Dynasty. Could it be that Li Huan is interfering and smuggling some private goods?"

Li Xingyun hadn't reacted to the first few sentences, but when he heard the last sentence, he jumped up and roared, "You are not allowed to insult Li Huan."

At the same time, the sword was unsheathed, and a clear cold light rushed straight to Li Changping's door.

Li Changping was not angry but happy. However, his hands did not slow down, and with just two fingers, the sword could not move forward any further.

"Finally it looks good, but your sword is so slow that it almost makes me fall asleep. Also, you don't have any murderous intent in your heart. Do you want to pave the way for the future with the lives of those around you?"

"But at least I'm not an executioner like you."

Seeing that he couldn't pull back the sword, Li Xingyun simply rushed forward.

But before he could swing his fist, he flew backwards again.

A tree the size of a bowl was broken in half. He held his stomach and leaned against the tree stump for a long time without getting up.

"What's wrong with being an executioner? When there is only submission and death at my feet, who dares to call me an executioner?"

Li Changping exerted a little force, and the sword that was held between his fingers began to break piece by piece from the tip.

Countless sharp blades emitting cold light fell, bending the green grass under his feet.

"you……"

Li Xingyun struggled to stand up.

But at this moment, seeing that the situation was about to develop in an uncontrollable direction, Shangguan Yunque could not stay any longer and hurriedly took a few steps to help him up.

"Okay, Xingyun, you don't have to carry such a heavy burden. Let's go to the Soldier Valley first."

Li Xingyun said nothing, but covered his injured body, lowered his head silently, and moved his feet like a zombie.

After all, the direction was correct, so Li Changping didn't pay too much attention to it.

Today's incident will indeed be a big blow to Li Xingyun.

Although the self-confidence that he used to be proud of was ruthlessly shattered at this moment, it also meant that two paths were clearly placed in front of him.

Should I continue to evade responsibility?

Or go to the Cangbing Valley to accept your fate?

No matter which of these two paths he chooses, Li Xingyun will lose a lot...
