Yun Yang kept quiet for a bit and said, "Marshal Wu, I don't really know how to comment on you anymore. What do you think you are? A true villain who deceives himself and others? "
Wu Ying said casually, "I am indeed deceiving myself and others, and I am indeed a true villain, but at the same time, I am a powerful and capable true villain. My ability, at least for a long time, can't be replaced by anyone. "
Murderous intent flickered in Yun Yang's eyes. "Do you know that no matter how irreplaceable a person is, once he dies, he's still a dead man. Even if his death will cause considerable turmoil, he won't exist in this world after all! This world, on the other hand, won't change at all. "
Wu Ying said, "Lord Supreme Cloud is determined to kill me. I've guessed this a long time ago."
From the beginning to the end, he had never addressed himself as' this official ',' this general ',' this lowly official 'or' this reputed one '. He had only addressed himself as' I '.
It was obvious that he no longer saw himself as a Yutang official or a military marshal.
Yun Yang was well aware of this, but he had still addressed himself as Marshal Wu. After all, Wu Ying had indeed put in a lot of effort for Yutang all these years. The stability of Yutang's territory was largely due to this man. Even though their stances were clear now, this man's contributions could not be erased.
"Bi Zhongliu is already dead." Wu Ying said leisurely, "Back then, he had always said that his ability could bring peace to the nation and the world. Even when the nation was in danger and the country was on the verge of collapse, as long as he was given a chance, he could stabilize the nation. Therefore, he named himself Bi Zhongliu. "
Yun Yang said, "Oh? I wonder if he can still be called Bi Zhongliu when he goes to the netherworld? "
Yun Yang's tone was as calm as ever, but he was actually shocked.
Bi Zhongliu – this name was very familiar.
Many years ago, there had been a shocking case. The key person involved in it was a person called Bi Zhongliu …
Yun Yang wondered if this Bi Zhongliu was this person.
Wu Ying ignored the hidden mockery in his words and continued, "Lord Supreme Cloud didn't attack right away. I guess you still have something you want to know? Why don't you explain it to Lord Supreme Cloud while I'm in the mood? "
He sighed faintly and said, "Sir, do you know that all the words I've spoken in the past twenty years cannot be compared to what I've said today?"
Yun Yang's gaze was sharp as he said, "I've long heard of Marshal Wu's reputation for being concise and direct. His words are the law when it comes to military affairs, his orders and prohibitions are executed without the slightest bias. However, he spoke so confidently and with assurance today … perhaps it's because after today, there won't be any more opportunities to speak! "
Wu Ying could not help but chuckle. "Of course Lord Supreme Cloud is powerful, of course. He has the power to kill and rarely fails. However, he has underestimated me. I know that even if I can't kill Lord Supreme Cloud, much less be your opponent, I'm still quite confident that I can escape unscathed from Lord Supreme Cloud's clutches. It's just that Bi Zhongliu didn't get to see you before he died. To him, it was a great regret. I have to help him fulfill this wish. "
Yun Yang said, "If that's the case, there's no need to waste words. I believe Marshal Wu knows what I want to know. Just tell me what you know. Why should I be the one asking?"
Wu Ying chuckled hoarsely and said, "Sir, you're right, but I have to say the whole story first. It looks like this conversation will take a long time. Would Lord Supreme Cloud like to have a cup of tea with me?"
It was easy to deceive others, but difficult to deceive oneself. Wu Ying had long been stubborn about what he had done. Even now, he was saying that he had committed a grave mistake, but he did not take his sins too seriously. If it were not for Bi Zhongliu's matter and his desire to escape, his determination and stubbornness were actually the most unique among all the people from the Four Seasons Tower that Yun Yang had targeted!
Before his words echoed in the air, without waiting for Yun Yang to speak, he shook his wrist and a table, chair, and tea set appeared on the ground. They were neatly arranged, and there was even a long lit candle on the tea table.
A formless mystical Qi engulfed the space abruptly. The wind howled, but the flame of the candle did not waver.
"Lord Supreme Cloud, please take a seat."
Wu Ying picked up the teapot and said with a smile, "There's a saying that goes, 'three goblets of wine in the worldly affairs, a pot of tea for a thousand years' cause '. Everyone thinks that this saying is very imposing and there are countless interpretations, but I have a different understanding."
Yun Yang sat down and said, "Oh? May I ask what Marshal Wu thinks about this? "
Yun Yang asked. Wu Ying said, "I think that this saying … three goblets of wine in the worldly affairs means that … anyone who has gone through this worldly affairs, three goblets of wine can be used as a tribute to him."
"As for … a pot of tea for a thousand years' cause, it basically means that no matter how great a feat a person has done, no matter how meritorious he is, when the descendants talk about him after his death, they can talk about it clearly in the time of a pot of tea."
Wu Ying shook his head and said faintly, "Just like how we're going to talk about Bi Zhongliu's life now. No matter how deep his thoughts are, how brilliant his schemes are, how meticulous his calculations are, how intelligent he is, how a fourth-grade civil minister, a martial world powerhouse, who can control the world … it's still a pot of tea."
He lifted his head to look at Yun Yang. "A pot of tea is enough for you to know everything about his life from my mouth."
Wu Ying chuckled and spilled the tea on the ground, saying softly, "So, brother, this is your thousand-year cause."
Yun Yang felt an indescribable sense of absurdity wash over him. It was the first time he had heard someone interpret these two lines in such a manner.
In spite of this, he had to admit that it seemed to be a little … a little … twisted.
After all, twisted logic had to be justified before it could be used as an argument!
"Bi Zhongliu and I were childhood friends. Not only were we childhood sweethearts, we were also sworn brothers. We studied together when we were young, we studied under the same teacher in martial arts. He was older than me, so I called him elder brother. We've supported each other for so many years, but I've benefited more from him. "
"That year, he was determined to serve the country and fulfill his ambition. With the title of Tiannan's top scholar, he entered the capital for the imperial examination. Before he left, I, who had failed, sent him off. He said … if he could gain the favor of a wise ruler, he would soar to the heavens and dance in the winds and clouds; he would command the four seas and eight wastelands; he would rule the world without betrayal. "
"He did it. With his well-known literary name, he was recognized by a high official the moment he entered the capital, who betrothed his beloved daughter to him. He even became the top scholar in the imperial examination, his limelight unparalleled."
"However, just as he was proud of his life and his career was about to take off, he was framed without warning and was involved in a case of rebellion."
"What surprised him even more was that the person who framed him was his new wife. His career was severed from then on. His wife was originally … Sigh, let's not talk about this anymore … After I found out that something had happened to him, I naturally couldn't just sit back and watch. I killed his father-in-law's family and another high official involved in the case, then I snuck into the prison and rescued him. "
"At that time, he was devastated by what had happened. He only had love as his anchor, blinding his heart. His wife was the only one in his heart. Yet, when I killed him, his wife was already seven months pregnant …"
Wu Ying said slowly as he brewed tea, "We're brothers. No matter how sorrowful he was, he wouldn't have doubted my words. However, his own younger brother was beside him, accusing me of being the culprit who framed him, saying that I'd been dissatisfied with his wife for a long time. At that time, I was furious, really furious, so I stormed out."
"After that, I accidentally found out that his younger brother was one of the people who framed him. I was so furious that I killed him in the middle of the night. However, just as I was about to cut off his head, Bi Zhongliu appeared at the door. I don't know if it was a coincidence or not."
Wu Ying sighed softly. "No matter how hard I tried to explain, it didn't help. From then on, we didn't see each other again."
Yun Yang sighed as he listened.
He had killed someone else's pregnant wife and his own younger brother right in front of him …
They still didn't see each other again, but they didn't turn into enemies. The grudge and the relationship between them were truly indescribable …
Wu Ying narrated the past grudges and feelings in a very simple manner, recounting everything in one breath.
In spite of this, Yun Yang could imagine the process in his mind, how terrifying and terrifying it must have been.
With Sir Bi's intelligence and resourcefulness, what level of scheme must it have been to have been set up to this point?
Thinking back to Wu Ying's seamless and flawless way of handling things, Sir Bi, the only person who should not have met him, had actually seen through his murder … What kind of scheme was hidden within?
Everything was illogical, or it could be said that the more one thought about it, the more terrifying it would be.
However, Yun Yang had heard of the case back then and had even read through the case files. However, it had been a long time and many of the files were missing. They had long become unsolvable mysteries that could no longer be cleared up.
Wu Ying, who was standing before him, was obviously an insider of the old case back then. He might even be a person involved in it, but he had only spoken about it briefly now. It was difficult for him to explain more. Yun Yang could also tell that he did not want to talk about the case back then at all. He only wanted to talk about Bi Zhongliu's life, so he could not skip this part.
"Actually, I know that Bi Zhongliu knows everything. He just doesn't want to face the truth, especially after I killed these people. Especially after I killed these people. That's all. "
"Perhaps, to him, not facing it is also a way to face it!"
"The two of us … he didn't really want to cut ties with me. Not interacting with me doesn't mean that we're strangers. He's been watching me all these years and I've been watching him too. If he really wanted to cut ties with me, why would he still be watching me?"
