"You want power, why didn't you say so — — why didn't you say so!" Nie Qing lost his usual elegance and calmness, his eyes bloodshot as he choked, "If you had just a little bit of trust in me, just a little bit of honesty, I would have done my best to help you. What you want, and what I have, I will do my best to give it to you. Nie Yang! When have I ever owed you anything! But why did you take my father away from me? "
Nie Qing was on the verge of breaking down. Everyone was moved, even the cold-hearted Nie Yang didn't know how to retort.
Because he knew that what Nie Qing had just said was true.
"What you want … … why didn't you say so? Why did you have to kill my father, why!!!"
Nie Yang's expression darkened, his bloodied lips quivering, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't.
Facing Nie Qing's questioning, even if Nie Yang was so heartless, he felt a heavy stone in his chest, making it hard for him to breathe.
The System sneered, [Are you touched? You actually believed his words? If Nie Liang didn't die, how could Nie Qing have power? Nie Qing's words were just to lie to you. If Nie Liang didn't die, he wouldn't have just sat back and watched his precious son assist you.]
Why was it so hard to let go of power once you picked it up?
It wasn't just because power was attractive, it was also because power could protect oneself.
For example, if Nie Qing convinced his father, Nie Liang, to gradually give power to Nie Yang, then wouldn't Nie Qing be worried that Nie Yang would harm him after he gained power? According to Nie Yang's temper, it was rare for him to get rid of the donkey after it had outlived its usefulness.
Losing power was equivalent to taking off all the armor, exposing the defenseless soft meat in front of the enemy.
Nie Yang laughed bitterly, [Whether it was fake or sincere, at least he could say that. No matter what, he's sincere now.]
Nie Qing treated him sincerely, but this little bit of kindness couldn't stop Nie Yang from pursuing power.
"Just kill me, there's nothing else to say." Nie Yang said hoarsely, "I poisoned Nie Liang, I admit it."
Nie Qing thought Nie Yang would quibble for him, he didn't expect him to admit it so directly.
He pointed at Nie Yang's heart and enunciated each word clearly, "Is power really that attractive in your eyes?"
Nie Yang said indifferently, "Isn't the purpose of a person's life to live a better life?"
Nie Qing had to admit that Nie Yang's words were correct, but he could not accept the methods Nie Yang used to pursue power.
He relied on viciousness to get to this point, annihilating his conscience as a human. Even if he were to rule over the world, he was just a tyrant that others would turn pale at the mention of.
"Nie Yang." Nie Qing's breathing was heavy. Her tears had long since stopped, but the redness in her eyes was even more frightening than before. She grabbed Nie Yang's collar and pulled him closer to her. Her clear eyes were filled with viciousness as she gritted her teeth and said, "I sever all ties with you, and we will not meet again on the road to the Yellow Springs."
Nie Yang forced a smile and said, "Of course we won't meet. If I travel faster, I might be able to see Duke Guangshan. "
When Wei Yong and Fan Chen heard this, their expressions changed drastically.
In a rage, Nie Qing kicked the tied up Nie Yang to the ground.
Nie Yang rubbed the side of his face on the ground, his cheeks bleeding from the grit. He smiled and bent his waist, his knees curling on the ground as he used the force to sit up. He looked at Nie Qing out of the corner of his eye and said with some pity, "Does Elder Brother know that Duke Guangshan passed away yesterday at the Chou hour?"
Even though Wei Yong and Fan Chen had ordered Nie Yang to shut up, he still finished speaking without fear of death.
Yesterday … the Chou hour?
Nie Qing was somewhat confused as he turned to look at Wei Yong and Fan Chen.
Father had passed seven days ago, how could he have passed away yesterday at the Chou hour?
Seeing this, Wei Yong knew he could not hide it and said directly, "Former Lord did pass away last night at the Chou hour. Previously … when he was about to enter the coffin, he choked and woke up. Former Lord ordered us to hide it and secretly make arrangements, which is why he did not tell everyone. "
Nie Qing said, "Father … hid it even from me?"
Wei Dan glanced at Nie Yang with some difficulty. Nie Qing immediately felt sorrow in his heart. His already wounded heart received another blow.
Fan Chen said, "Former Lord did this not because he did not trust Lord. In reality, Former Lord planned to spread the news of Lord's death to see if those ambitious fellows could sit still. Once these people are dealt with, Lord's future path will be smooth. Former Lord put a lot of thought into this. "
Nie Qing could not listen to anything.
Looking at the situation, Wei Yong and Fan Chen must have worked together to hide his father in the last few days of his life, lying alone on his sickbed, waiting for death to come. Illness not only tortured the body, but also the mind. As a son, he felt suffocated at the thought.
Father had no children to serve him before he passed away. Who knew how he felt.
After a series of blows, he was no longer in the mood to care about Nie Yang.
"Father-in-law, Fan Chen … Nie Yang will be handed over to you." Nie Qing threw the sword at his waist to one side, saying weakly, "Follow the plan, do what needs to be done. Take him away from here. I don't want to see him again. I want to be alone … "
Nie Yang's eyes widened when he heard this. He asked, "Why not kill me yourself?"
Nie Qing said without turning his head, "I don't want to dirty my hands."
Wei Yong saw Nie Qing leave and sighed, "If this matter can teach Young Lord to be ruthless, it's not too bad."
He had someone put a large sack over Nie Yang's head and secretly sent him out of the camp.
Nie Yang lay on the carriage in deep thought. The System asked him in surprise, [Is Nie Qing crazy? Does he want to let you go?]
[Will you let the person who killed your father go?] Nie Yang asked sarcastically. He seemed to have guessed something. He closed his eyes to conserve his energy. Memories of the past quickly appeared in his mind. Happy, sad, sad, angry … all sorts of things that made up his life. [I'm wearing Nie Qing's face now. Other than Wei Yong and a few others, no one will know that I'm an imposter. If I cause a ruckus in the camp and accidentally attract the attention of Nie Liang's old officials, Nie Qing won't be able to explain himself. Naturally, he has to be executed secretly.]
The System was still the System. Even though it was very capable, it was too arrogant. It did not bother to figure out the thoughts of ants.
This explanation was reasonable, so it did not continue asking.
Nie Yang snorted coldly and his lips curled into a sly smile.
It was precisely because the System did not bother to figure out the thoughts of ants that it was destined to fail.
What kind of personality did Nie Qing have?
He would rather something happen to him than let the Nie family fall into chaos. If he did not have a way to return to his position, Nie Qing would not dare to touch him. Even if he killed his father, he would grit his teeth and endure it for now. After all, Nie Qing was too important to Nie Ying.
Nie Qing was ruthless enough to kill him. It was obvious that he had a way to restore his original appearance.
Either he found an expert, or … Nie Qing knew some secret … such as Nie Yang being possessed by a demon?
Killing Nie Yang was easy, but getting rid of this demon was very difficult.
When Nie Yang guessed this, the image of Jiang Pengji's posture on the battlefield suddenly appeared in his mind.
If he was right, Nie Qing planned to get rid of him and the System together.
