Chapter 53 I Killed Rong Jiudao He had just killed someone and was very excited...

Yu Yao/Text

Chu Yan looked at Xi Che, and suddenly reached out his hand to lift the wet hair by his ear, while leaning towards him. But Xi Che turned his head to the side almost as a conditioned reflex, and although he quickly forced himself to calm down, Chu Yan still saw the resistance in his eyes.

He still didn't say anything, but he smiled at him. That smile was not just a change in the corners of his mouth, but a real smile that welled up from his eyes. Xi Che gradually became embarrassed in his smile.

"I want it, but you won't give it to me. This boring temptation makes you look cute."

Chu Yan withdrew his hand. There was no trace of distracting thoughts in his eyes and expression. Obviously, he had no intention of "collecting rewards".

Xi Che should have been furious, which would have put him at a further disadvantage. He could only ask him helplessly: "Since you knew, why did you still help me and why did you keep following me?"

Chu Yan replied: "Then why don't you accept my kindness frankly."

"There is no free lunch in the world, and no favors are owed in vain. I can't give you what you want, so I don't want to accept your kindness anymore."

In this situation, Chu Yan's personality actually made it difficult for him to say words that would please him - he originally thought so, but after being silent for a long time, he didn't expect that he would still say it.

"Just think of me as someone who wants to meddle in other people's business. There are many people in this world who want to intervene when they see injustice. Aren't you willing to risk your life for the death of a stranger? I want to help, is that not okay?"

"So you are a kind-hearted and enthusiastic person. I misunderstood you."

"Don't you look like that?"

- He said this expressionlessly. It is true that he does not look like that. It would be more like to say that he is a heartless person. However, the other party had already said so much, and he had refused many times. Xi Che didn't want to waste any more time on this useless argument.

He compromised: "Forget it, as long as you don't get in the way."

Chu Yan knew that what he said was equivalent to tacit consent, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "When have I ever ruined your plan?"

But despite this, when you know that someone is interested in you, you will subconsciously avoid the other person's eyes, no matter whether you are interested in the other person or not. So every time Chu Qi looked at him like this, Xi Che would look away first.

"It's late, go to bed early."

He sighed and said softly.

Chu Yan nodded. He thought that he could at least spend the night in peace.

Of course, Xi Che was only well-behaved for a few days. He did not rush out that night, but that did not mean he did nothing. He did not stay in the inn at all during these days, and was looking for news about Rong Jiudao everywhere. Chu Yan wanted to follow Xi Che all the time, but he felt that this was inefficient and urged him to go out and help inquire.

"Didn't you say you would help me? Don't follow me all the time, you're holding me back."

Xi Che looked at him seriously and said something very heartless: "If you keep following me like this, we'll go our separate ways."

Chu Yan had known him for so long, so he naturally knew Xi Che's emotional state at the moment. He was pissed off by Yuan Ting's death. It didn't matter how shameless he was at other times, but if he went against him at this critical moment, he might really turn against him. So he had to agree. He wanted to help him find out the truth about this matter as soon as possible and make him feel better. Then, no matter whether he agreed or not, he would forcibly take him back to Yujing Palace and never let him out again.

But Chu Yan thought it was easy, but the development of things was not as simple as he thought. In the process of inquiring for information, another incident happened. Zhan Yujin died.

This incident was simply the last spark that ignited Xi Che. His anger towards Rong Jiudao had reached its peak - he had clearly won in this political struggle, so why did he have to be killed?

One morning, Chu Yan was suddenly awakened by the noise outside the street. As a god, he didn't need to sleep, but after staying in the mortal world for too long, he actually developed this habit. Chu Yan quickly got up from the bed. The noisy sounds outside gradually became clearer, and he finally heard clearly that they said that Prime Minister Rong was dead.

Chu Yan sat up suddenly, and his first reaction was that this matter might be related to Asa.

Chu Yan quickly put on his clothes and rushed out of the room. He looked at Xi Che's bed and found that he was not there! At that moment he was almost certain that the trouble outside was most likely caused by Asa.

Chu Yan rushed outside immediately. He was not afraid of causing trouble, but he was afraid that if Asa caused trouble with his succubus body, someone would do something bad to him.

However, the development of the matter surprised Chu Yan very much. As soon as he opened the door of the inn, he ran into Xi Che standing at the door. He was wearing a black nightgown and was wrapped in cold air. It was obvious that he had been outside for a long time. Chu Yan was stunned, and hurriedly pulled him into the door and dragged him back to the room. Xi Che was also startled by Chu Yan, but he reacted quickly. When the other party pulled him into the door, he didn't say anything and quickly followed him in.

"Does the riot outside have anything to do with you?"

Chu Yan asked bluntly. Xi Che did not hide it: "Yes, I killed Rong Jiudao."

"..."

Ever since the news of Zhan Yujin's death came, Xi Che couldn't sleep well every night. It should be said that he couldn't sleep at all. As soon as he closed his eyes, Yuan Ting's death appeared in front of him. As for how Zhan Yujin died, he didn't know, and he didn't see him for the last time, so he blamed his death on Rong Jiudao. Xi Che knew that their deaths were more due to political struggles, but the passion in his heart was hard to calm down. Before Yuan Ting died, he revealed that there was a mysterious person beside Rong Jiudao, which made him feel uneasy. To be honest, the information obtained after lying dormant for so many days was just superficial. No one knew that there was a mysterious person beside Rong Jiudao, let alone figuring out who this mysterious person was. Even Rong Shi disappeared from the Bright Seminary.

Instead of wasting time like this, it would be better to just go to his house and get to the bottom of it.

Xi Che admitted that he was an impulsive person. If he hadn't been impulsive, today's situation would not have happened. However, he was not prepared to change his impulsiveness. For a moment, he asked himself, can I not care about so many things, regardless of the consequences, because at this moment I want to avenge him, so I will avenge him.

In the middle of the night, Xi Che climbed out of the inn window holding a sharp dagger and made his way to Rong Jiudao's residence. Xi Che had inquired about Rong Jiudao's address, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he still found it absurd - Rong Jiudao's mansion was built on a cliff that looked like a knife cut through it. What kind of person would build a mansion on top of a high cliff? The deep ravines and dangerous cliffs became obstacles preventing people from climbing up from below, and at the same time, they also created a throne for Rong Jiudao to sit high above. How could such an unpeople-friendly prime minister be a good person?

In addition, Xi Che discovered something more important. He sensed traces of a formation formed by Da Chi and Zhu You outside Rong Jiudao's mansion, which felt exactly the same as the formation he found in Meng Xinghe's basement. Xi Che would not mistake his own magic weapon, but the formation here was obviously much weaker than the one in Meng Xinghe's place. However, the existence of this formation was enough to prove that there was an inseparable relationship between the two of them.

It seems that I have come to the right place today. I have to clean up the mistakes left over from the past and Rong Jiudao must also be eliminated.

The formation formed by Da Chi and Zhu You is very magical. The stronger the opponent, the stronger the power of the formation. Therefore, it has little effect on a succubus with little power like Xi Che. What can stop ordinary succubus is this cliff. Unfortunately, the reason why Xi Che became the God of War in his previous life was not only because of his powerful magic power, but also because of his extraordinary skills. He climbed up the steep cliff carrying a bundle of ropes on his back, like a sharp blade cutting straight down from the dark sky.

When Xi Che found Rong Jiudao, he was worshiping a tablet. Yes, it was the tablet of the god of war Azas, the tablet of his own previous life. Even after being dead for so long, there were still people who believed in him. Xi Che's rage burned even more fiercely. He did not ask for immortality, nor did he want to be worshipped by such people after his death, so he immediately tied up Rong Jiudao.

"Who are you?!"

"A passerby!"

Rong Jiudao was shocked and angry: "A passerby? Why would a passerby break into my mansion?"

"When you see injustice, draw your sword to help."

Xi Che covered his face and put the dagger that Yuan Ting used to commit suicide against Rong Jiudao's neck: "Yuan Ting is dead, why do you still want to touch Zhan Yujin?"

Rong Jiudao suddenly widened his eyes: "You are the remnant of the Military Control Party?! How is it possible..."

Rong Jiudao didn't know what he was thinking, he narrowed his eyes, and forced himself to calm down: "I didn't kill Zhan Yujin, he committed suicide. Yuan Ting is dead, he can't amount to anything, why should I bother with a useless person."

Xi Che frowned slightly. He couldn't tell whether Rong Jiudao's words were true or false, but when he thought of Zhan Yujin's heartbroken look, he became confused again. It’s not that Xi Che can’t understand the feeling of a scholar dying for his confidant, but if it were him, he would kill Rong Jiudao first before dying.

Xi Che tightened the dagger a little more: "What about what you did to the Military-Controlled Party?!"

The reason why Xi Che asked this question was entirely because of Rong Jiudao's initial reaction. He guessed that he was the "remnant" of the Military-Controlled Party. He had a very shocked expression and his tone revealed a great deal of disbelief. In his opinion, it seemed that no one from the Military-Controlled Party should live in the world anymore.

Rong Jiudao's face changed, and he glanced at the spirit tablet he had just worshipped. Xi Che's mind moved slightly, and he used the dagger against Rong Jiudao and slashed him hard: "What else do you want to do! Tell me!"

Seeing the blood, Rong Jiudao's eyes became ferocious. He glared at Xi Che fiercely: "Yes, the military-controlled party should have been killed, how come there is still one alive."

Xi Che heard the tone of his words, it didn't sound like he was simply scolding himself, but talking to someone else, even with a hint of resentment. He thought, is there someone else in this room? That's impossible. If there were other people, they would have rushed out to help the moment I appeared. Why wait until now? But his words also proved one thing: all the military-controlled party members were indeed dead.

From the large-scale defection of the military-controlled party to their subsequent collective deaths, this incident revealed something very abnormal. It should be said that this was definitely not something that the power of the succubus could do. Yuan Ting was right, there must have been a master behind this.

Xi Che stared at him coldly and said, "You really deserve to die. Yuan Ting would rather die with infamy than run away to protect his subordinates, but you did this."

"If you don't kill the snake, there will be trouble later. Since you are involved in a fight, you shouldn't take chances!"

Rong Jiudao said confidently: "Yuan Ting should hate himself for not being good enough, not me."

Xi Che didn't want to argue with him on this matter anymore, so he interrupted him and said: "I can not kill you, but I promised Yuan Ting that I would avenge him. Since there is someone behind the scenes, I will kill him! But if you don't tell me, I will kill you first and then go find that person!"

However, Rong Jiudao seemed to have suddenly grown up his courage, and closed his eyes: "Kill me, the gods I believe in will help me . "

Xi Che was furious when he heard this. He was going to kill Rong Jiudao, but he didn't want to bear the burden of such a "believer" anymore, so he said, "Are you talking about Azas? Well, since I'm going to kill you, I'm not afraid to tell you that I am Azas! I feel very ashamed to have a believer like you!"

Baihu actually snorted and laughed in his mind: "Who told you to die in anger? Otherwise, you wouldn't have become as notorious as you are today."

Rong Jiudao certainly didn't believe him: "You? The god of war Azas died a long time ago, how could you be him?"

"I am indeed dead and was resurrected with this body. I didn't expect to see such a mess after I came back to life."

Xi Che became more and more angry as he spoke: "I'm telling you the truth. Don't expect Azas to help you with revenge. Who is the person behind you?"

Before Rong Jiudao could speak, Xi Che suddenly saw a black smoke coming out from Azas's spirit tablet. Rong Jiudao shouted: "Liu Wuhuan! Save me!"

Xi Che didn't understand what happened, but there must have been an accident. He didn't care about much and stabbed the knife into Rong Jiudao's chest. He thought something would happen next, but there was nothing. The black smoke broke through the door curtain and flew out. It moved so quickly that Xi Che had no chance to catch up.

Xi Che smashed the spirit tablet enshrined by Rong Jiudao, and wrote the poem left by Yuan Ting before his death on the wall with his blood: How can a sword be delicate? How can loyalty and sincerity withstand slander? My blue blood can be turned into earth, but the bright moon knows my purity.

Xi Che wanted everyone to know that Yuan Ting died unjustly, and the 50,000 soldiers of the military command also died unjustly.

Seeing that Xi Che was dressed in black, full of hostility, and the blood on the dagger he was holding had not been wiped clean, Chu Yan stopped asking questions. He drew aside the curtain and took a look outside the inn, then said, "Go wash up quickly. You can still sleep for a while now. We'll leave at daybreak."

Xi Che couldn't help laughing when he heard that: "I just killed someone. I'm so excited. How could I possibly sleep?"

"Go to sleep even if you can't. Someone will track you down here soon, and you won't be able to sleep even if you want to."

Xi Che raised his eyebrows and said nothing more, but Chu Yan was right, they couldn't stay here any longer.
