C473 It Was an Arbitrary Decision
As a matter of fact, both at that time and later, because of the elusive Abbot, Zhang Jingxuan was able to control the power of the Lightning Shock, but he did not quickly become the target of the fight. Of course, after experiencing some things, Zhang Jingxuan was not an easy target. Those who wanted to bite him would have their teeth broken.
Although there were only a few strokes in between the lines, it could still be seen that Sun Shanglou's death had brought a huge impact to Lee Yuming.
On one hand, it was the responsibility he bore, and on the other, he had no choice but to do things that were completely different from his own personality. Lee Yuming had always been suspicious of his actions, and at this moment, he had almost reached the peak.
There was one more thing that he almost could not endure anymore. That was, Lee Hongji knew what he had always done and what he thought. That was why he bypassed him and sent someone else to establish a connection with the Qing Dynasty. Both parties had reached an initial agreement to divide the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
When Lee Yuming found out about this matter, it was already too late. Lee Hongji also comforted him that it was just a temporary relationship to make use of each other. In the future, they would definitely clean up the border and expand their territory.
However, Lee Yuming knew that even though Wang Zhen had used the tile to stab him in the back, however, the current situation was far from what it was in the past. Back then, the tile was only used for robbing, and it was difficult for it to become a force to be reckoned with. Putting aside the fact that the Qing Dynasty was now a powerful army, they also had a huge plot against the Ming Dynasty. If they were not careful, it was very likely that the tragedy of the Yuan Dynasty's foreign race invading the Central Plains would occur again.
However, Lee Yuming was just a subordinate after all. Since Lee Hongji had chosen to go around him, he only explained it to him after the matter was over, and this caused Lee Yuming to feel disheartened. He had gone all out to assist Jianwen's descendant. He had done everything he could, even doing things that went against his original intention. However, the heavenly might was unpredictable. He was the future monarch who had yet to take control of the world. He had grown up and was no longer the young man who would listen to his every word.
Lee Hongji had given him two secret orders for this mission in Loyalty Trapped Valley.
The first was to kill his master, Mei Jiefu. Lee Yuming knew that this was the Tang Sect's intention. It would be best if both of them died in a fight. That would be the happiest thing in the Tang Sect. Working together with the Qing Dynasty was like working together with a tiger, but also working with the Tang Sect. Wasn't that the same?
The second reason was to kill Zhang Jingxuan. It wasn't wrong to kill his opponent in the bud. However, looking at the records at that time, even though it was just a few words, one could tell the conflicting feelings of Lee Yuming when he received the order.
One mistake after another, could it be that he had to continue making mistakes like this?
When your persistence brought about the consequences that you didn't want or even hated, would you still persist?
When there is no love in life, perhaps leaving is the best way to fulfill it.
So in the end, Lee Yuming arranged such a path for himself.
Perhaps he was the one who forced Zhang Jingxuan to kill him.
Because this was the only way that the Breeze Stronghold wouldn't be dealt with by Lee Hongji.
Before this, Lee Hongji had also used Mei Jiefu to eliminate Tang Wu, Tang Liu, and Hai Pingtao, severely injuring the Tang Sect and Qing Dynasty.
Later, when Mei Jiefu was painting in the cave, he was ambushed by Lee Yuming and was stabbed by him. After that, he was able to strike again when Mei Jiefu and Zhang Jingxuan were fighting.
Zhang Jingxuan found out that he was too arbitrary before this. That painting was not made by Lee Yuming. It was Mei Jiefu's handiwork. It was just that the sword intent contained in their strokes was similar.
Zhang Jingxuan blamed himself secretly. It seemed that sometimes he could not trust his feelings too much. He felt that sometimes he would lie.
Tang Qi was an important figure. Tang Qi was considered half of Lee Yuming's disciple. Back then, he was bullied and bullied in Tang family. It was Lee Yuming, who had gone to the Tang Sect to negotiate for an alliance, who had helped him. Not only had he survived, but he had also obtained a chance to become famous. Therefore, Tang Qi was loyal to Lee Yuming, but he didn't have much affection for the Tang family.
Looking at Lee Yuming's description of Mei Jiefu, it was just a matter of making use of each other to learn sword skills from him. He did not have much affection for him. And Mei Jiefu didn't do his best to teach Lee Yuming martial arts.
Since he didn't have much of a relationship to speak of, Mei Jiefu was a devil who killed without batting an eye. Once the Shennong Whip was born, he would be able to escape from the valley. At that time, a massacre would surely break out. Therefore, it wasn't difficult for him to accept the order to kill Mei Jiefu.
In Lee Yuming's description, killing Zhang Jingxuan was a huge question mark. Zhang Jingxuan's mind was filled with fortune. It was as if he suddenly understood Lee Yuming's thoughts at that time. In a sense, Lee Yuming had already regarded him as a continuation of Sun Shanglou. The guilt he felt towards his grandfather and grandson, the friendship he had with his close friend. They were all transferred to Zhang Jingxuan.
The final outcome had already happened.
After some planning and planning, the results were obvious.
Hai Pingtao had died, and the Qing Dynasty had lost a great expert.
The death of Tang Wu and Tang Liu had caused the Tang Sect to lose a lot of their strength in the outside world. Next, they believed that the Tang Sect would send out even more powerful experts to assist Lee Hongji. This could be regarded as Lee Yuming's final contribution and explanation to the descendants of Jianwen.
At the same time, the Tang Sect's stronger forces had arrived early, disrupting the Tang Sect's plans. The earlier he changed from the dark to the light, the more he knew his enemies, the better. This wasn't a bad thing for Zhang Jingxuan, because what was supposed to come would come eventually.
With Mei Jiefu's death, there was now one less bloodthirsty devil in the world.
Lee Yuming's death drew an end to the whole situation.
It could be said that even though he had died, he could still operate according to his plan until the end.
Was the final winner Zhang Jingxuan? His brother, Yuen Luoyuan, was dead, and his comrades were covered in wounds. Although he had stopped Chung Suizhu from collecting the Shennong Whip and allowed it to return to the ground, after some calculations, almost everyone had suffered heavy casualties, as if no one had gained anything in the end.
The Loyalty Trapped Valley of Void Trapped Mountain was indeed an inauspicious place.
The doubts in his heart gradually faded, but the heaviness in his heart did not decrease, instead, it increased a little.
Zhang Jingxuan was in a daze when he heard Zheng Buji urging him, "Hey, hey, watch carefully. It's best that you remember those people that Uncle Li helped. Perhaps you can use them in the future."
"What? Hey, hey, hey, my name is Mr. Lee. You are Uncle Li. Do you also have to call me Uncle Zhang? You know something. Don't be disrespectful."
Zhang Jingxuan seemed to be a little irritated, but he was not in a good mood.
Sometimes, Zheng Buji looked like a little old man, or a little deity. He didn't pay attention to ___'s impatience at all. He said unhurriedly, "Don't take advantage of me. Let's talk about our own interests. I advise you to read it once more. Only this time. There won't be any more chances in the future. I can also be considered to have helped Uncle Li persuade you to do so many things. It's not for nothing."
