Origin

The tower is seven stories high, and Wu Zhongyuan is hiding at the corner of the sixth floor. The people the demon king can possess and influence are not very high in spiritual energy. Moreover, the woman in gorgeous clothes is at the front. As long as he takes action, he will have a sure blow. The certainty of killing.

But at this time, he began to hesitate. The reason was very simple. He just inferred that the third lady had been possessed by the demon king based on Zhu Qianwei's words, and he had no concrete evidence. If the inference was wrong, he would kill indiscriminately. , the third lady died in vain.

At this time, the third lady and others had already climbed to the second floor and would soon reach the sixth floor, leaving him little time to make a decision.

After a brief and urgent thought, Wu Zhongyuan made the decision to kill the third lady. Regardless of whether the third lady was possessed by the demon king or not, just because she sent people to hunt down the infant girl, she would be innocent and cruel. Cutting the grass and rooting it out, this woman is definitely not a kind person.

He had already made up his mind, but when the Third Madam and others climbed up to the fourth floor, Wu Zhongyuan hesitated again because he suddenly thought that the Third Madam's move of sending people to hunt down Wei Xi's daughter was probably the Demon King's idea and not the Third Madam's. Depending on the madam’s own wishes, the third madam might just be a victim. If she were to be killed, it would be suspected of killing innocent people indiscriminately.

Reason told him that he must take action without any hesitation. He could not even observe the third lady's eyes, because it also took time to observe her eyes. He could judge whether the third lady was possessed by the demon king by observing her eyes. , but at the same time, the Demon King can also take advantage of this opportunity to react and escape.

There is no time to observe, so you must take action immediately, and it must be a fatal blow. Last time from Goat Valley, he sheathed his sword in time to save the life of the female warrior of the Ox Tribe. The Demon King has discovered through this detail that he is unwilling to kill innocent people indiscriminately. If this If he fails to kill him once, the Demon King will take advantage of his weakness to blackmail him in the future.

In addition to reason, people also have an emotional side. Although reason tells him that he must take action, there is a voice deep in his heart that prevents him from doing so. He cannot kill recklessly. The third lady is probably innocent.

There are some things that cannot be done. Once they are done, they will be criticized forever. Just like Li Shimin, who slaughtered his brothers and imprisoned his father, no matter how successful he is in the future, this incident will always be a stain on him.

To take a step back, even if others don't know, he knows it. He can't do something like a general's success, and he can't do anything like killing animals if he wants to achieve great things. He has never done anything immoral, and he doesn't want his life to leave an indelible stain.

On the fifth floor, we will be on the sixth floor in the blink of an eye.

"Kill, it's a big deal, don't stick to trivial matters. If you don't be ruthless today, the demon king will catch the weakness, and more people will die in the future."

"You can't kill. What if you kill by mistake?"

"kill,

You can't be hesitant and entangled, and you can't be a moral model. "

"Confirm her eyes before killing her. As long as you confirm her eyes, you will know whether the Demon King is in her body or not."

"As soon as you confirm your eyes, the demon king will run away, and you are still killing me."

"I am a good person, and good people should not kill people randomly."

"If you want to be a good person, go home and take care of your children as soon as possible. You are now the Yellow Emperor of the Three Clans, not a knight of the rivers and lakes. You cannot do whatever you want, and you are not qualified to sacrifice everyone's life and death for your kindness. Buried with him, kill him quickly!”

At this moment, the woman in gorgeous clothes walked up to the sixth floor.

Wu Zhongyuan no longer hesitated, he held the hilt of the sword backwards, unsheathed the sword, turned around and swung back, using the best angle, the best timing, the fastest speed, and the greatest force, with one sword strike.

Before his head fell off, Wu Zhongyuan had killed all the seven people accompanying him and sheathed his sword.

He didn't look into the eyes of the gorgeously attired woman before taking action, and he used all his strength when he took action. If he still couldn't kill the demon king, then it didn't deserve his death.

He was tangled up in every possible way before taking action, but he calmed down after taking action. In these short few tens of seconds, he figured out a truth. Only those who do not need to be responsible for others can do what they want to do, as long as they shoulder the responsibility, You can't just do whatever you want.

Sometimes, the right thing is not necessarily the right thing, and the right thing is not necessarily the right thing.

There was no entanglement, no doubt, no regret, no self-deception, just calmness. He finally put himself in the right position. If he encounters a similar situation in the future, he will no longer have the hesitation and hesitation he had today.

This tower is the tallest building in the city. Standing at the highest point, Wu Zhongyuan can clearly see Zhu Qianwei who is fighting in the city, and can also hear Zhu Qianwei's loud shouting.

Zhu Qianwei did not mention the demon king, but only said that the third lady was plotting rebellion and harming the royal family of the Wei family. He was carrying the king's only bloodline and wanted to kill the third lady and return power to the Wei family.

The fighting method is still the same as before, only hurting but not killing, but it is not absolutely only hurting but not killing. Zhu Qianwei will not show mercy to those soldiers who try to attack the infant behind him. Maybe in his opinion, attacking him is not enough. It doesn't mean anything, but attacking and harming the royal bloodline is an unforgivable crime.

Zhu Qianwei has great martial arts skills and is impeccable in both offense and defense. It is not easy to do this. It requires extremely fast reaction speed and overall control of the situation. However, although this person is extremely brave, he is unwilling to kill indiscriminately. , somewhat similar to him, belonging to the Confucian generals.

Zhu Qianwei did not stay too much on the streets. His destination was the palace. He would only fight with others when he was blocked, and he would avoid them whenever possible, trying to avoid direct confrontation with his opponents.

It is said that when manpower is limited, the psychic weapon that can replenish spiritual energy breaks this inevitable rule. Zhu Qianwei holds the horned dragon halberd and has an endless supply of spiritual energy. Unexpectedly, when the spiritual energy is exhausted, he becomes more calm when fighting with the enemy. After a moment, he passes through. Several streets lead to the palace.

There were a large number of soldiers guarding the outside of the palace, many of whom were Qi practitioners. When they arrived, Zhu Qianwei was stopped. A large number of soldiers came from all directions to block him from the palace.

The armor worn by ordinary soldiers and generals is different. In addition to ordinary soldiers, there are dozens of generals leading troops outside the palace.

"Rebel Zhu Qianwei, why don't you just capture him without mercy?" a military general shouted loudly.

Zhu Qianwei reached out with his right hand, held a halberd in his hand, and stepped forward, "King Wei is hereditary, and I am loyal to the royal family. How can I be a rebel? On the contrary, you supported the Cao family, plotted rebellion, and forgot about your ancestors, and you still don't know the crime?"

Someone shouted to answer, "The sinner has no virtue and harms the tribe. Everyone will punish him, but you are stubborn and help the tiger. Quickly hand over the remnants of the sinner on your back, and then tie yourself up to plead guilty. If you hesitate for even a moment, you will be punished." I will send you to reunite with your family today.”

Zhu Qianwei was stunned when he heard this man's words.

Wu Zhongyuan also sighed secretly. What this person meant was that Zhu Qianwei's family members had been killed.

There is an idiom called "empathy". In fact, this idiom itself is wrong, because no one can fully understand the other person's feelings. Wu Zhongyuan can imagine Zhu Qianwei's mood at this time, but after all, he is not the person involved, and he can only imagine it, but not himself. Feel.

Zhu Qianwei stood still all the time. A warrior called out a few times, but when he didn't respond, he waved his weapon and stepped forward to slash.

When the opponent's long knife was about to hit his shoulder, Zhu Qianwei kicked the opponent out, swung the horned dragon halberd, and chopped off the opponent's head.

Although Zhu Qianwei got the Horned Dragon Halberd, he never used the sharp blades on both sides of the halberd's tip to slash at the enemy. Now that he finally made an exception, he was angry.

Zhu Qianwei is a very calm person, but no matter how calm he is, he can get angry sometimes. Facts have proved that Zhu Qianwei was really angry. He kept killing for the next quarter of an hour without speaking or crying, but with a blank face. He uses his expression to make moves, only to attack, not to defend. He uses offense instead of defense. Or maybe he doesn't defend at all, just because he moves too fast, and the opponent will kill him before he can do it. He was killed.

There were dozens of generals and hundreds of soldiers outside the palace. After burning incense, there was no one alive outside the palace except Zhu Qianwei and the crying baby on his back.

Most of the soldiers and generals were killed by Zhu Qianwei, and some of them escaped. Zhu Qianwei knew that someone had escaped and did not pursue them.

The baby kept crying, but Zhu Qianwei just stood there blankly without any reaction. It wasn't until an arrow landed in front of him that he raised his head.

Zhu Qianwei had not shed any tears until this moment. Not crying did not mean that he was not sad. It could be that he was too sad to cry, or it could be that the shock was too great and he was still numb until now.

Wu Zhongyuan waved to him, and Zhu Qianwei saw Wu Zhongyuan upstairs. He took a deep breath and stepped forward with his halberd. When he reached the door, he raised the horned dragon halberd and smashed it, smashing the door, and walked straight in.

There were some soldiers inside the palace, but they had already run away when the situation was bad. Zhu Qianwei climbed up the tower and saw the bodies of the third lady and others on the sixth floor, and also saw Wu Zhongyuan coming down from the seventh floor.

"You want to see people alive, you want to see a corpse when you die." Wu Zhongyuan did not comfort Zhu Qianwei, or he had already comforted him. This was the only comforting word he could think of.

Zhu Qianwei nodded, then took the third lady's head in his hand, passed through the seventh floor, and went to the top of the tower. He raised his voice and said, "Cao Rui's head is here. The little noble is still here. Those who are loyal to the royal family will click here immediately." Turn on the lamps and candles, the house will see the light, and let bygones be bygones!"

After Zhu Qianwei shouted once, he paused for tens of seconds and shouted again, and then shouted three times in a row. Every house turned on a lamp and every household lit a candle.

"Everyone performs his duties. Everything is as usual. Those in charge will come to the palace at five o'clock tomorrow to discuss matters." Zhu Qianwei shouted again.

He also shouted three times in a row.

Seeing that Zhu Qianwei had taken control of the situation, Wu Zhongyuan wanted to leave, but then he thought about it and said to Zhu Qianwei, "Go find your family. I will stay here. If you are still alive, I will try to treat him."

Zhu Qianwei was very touched and excited, but he never lost his mind. He knew that his family would not survive. "Thank you, sir. It's useless."

"Go ahead, I'll wait for you here." Wu Zhongyuan said.

Zhu Qianwei nodded, thanked him again, went down from the tower, and called the palace servant to come out and ask about the situation.

Wu Zhongyuan could hear the conversation between Zhu Qianwei and those people. Zhu Qianwei's family was indeed killed. They were killed on the day he escaped from Wei City with the young nobleman.

Wu Zhongyuan knew that Zhu Qianwei needed to accommodate the little nobleman and clean up the mess, so he didn't stay long. After Zhu Qianwei made a goodbye gesture to him, he took back the arrows he had shot and quietly retreated...
