Chapter 318 makes its debut.

There were bursts of shouting and killing sounds coming from the foot of the mountain. Although the sounds were vague, Fan Xian had great internal strength and extraordinary hearing, so he was naturally able to hear them.

I couldn't help but sigh, wondering if there really were thousands of troops attacking, otherwise the shouting and killing wouldn't be so shocking.

Fan Xian seemed to have some feelings.

He turned sideways and looked towards the ink-green side. On the sea, a fishing boat was slowly moving forward.

There were two figures standing on it, hazy and dim, perhaps because the sun was too glaring, or because the distance was too far, Fan Xian could not see clearly. He could only roughly sense that the other party was two people he did not know, and both were at the Grandmaster level!
The fishing boat was moving very fast, it shouldn't have been so fast, and it approached the side of the stone wall in just a moment!
These are two men as strong as iron towers!

······
At the foot of the mountain, the rebels were attacking the defense line of the guards like a torrent. From time to time, there were rains of arrows and flashes of fire. It was obvious that the battle entered a white-hot stage as soon as it started.

These people are powerful and elite!

From a distance, the formation seemed neat and the movements were orderly.

Emperor Qing was right. These were the armies of the Qin and Ye families!

It would be nice if there was a rain at this time, so that people can get rid of the burning heat caused by the scorching sun and their hearts.
The shrill screams were accompanied by the sound of iron clanging. The arrows seemed to break through the foot of the mountain, and then fell down under the influence of gravity, unable to move up another step, let alone see the scenery on the top of the mountain.

The powerful enemy is now at your feet, and the person in front of you is slowly coming out.

"As expected of you, Emperor Qing. To be honest, I have always admired you."

Ang Lee walked out slowly, like a shy girl, half-covered.

Accompanying him were Ku He, who was dressed as an ascetic monk, and Si Gu Jian, who looked like an old farmer!
As for the other ninth-rank officials, Emperor Qing did not take them seriously.

"Where is Wuzhu?" There was a noise behind him. It was the sound of chaos among a group of Qing Kingdom officials. At this moment, Lang Tao was killing these officials wantonly. His target was the Minister of Rites, the Minister of Taichang Temple and other officials who were preparing for the Heavenly Offering.

Fan Xian was horrified in his heart, but his face remained calm. He just spoke indifferently: "So Your Majesty already knew that Uncle Wu Zhu would come?"

Fan Xian silently looked at the very unfamiliar father in front of him, neither happy nor sad.

He was not worried about anything, just as Emperor Qing did not intend to kill him.

Even though the two were so close at this time.

"I didn't expect this to be your final choice." Emperor Qing sneered, "Anzhi, do you think they are just here to kill me?"

"madness!"

"Did you hear the screams behind you? They are not only here to kill me, but you will not survive either."

Fan Xian nodded indifferently, and no one knew what he was thinking.

He just wanted to ask the questions in his heart one by one.

Li An and his companions also watched the show with a smile, as if they were in no hurry to take action - these men were the elite of the Qing army, and since they could just sit back and watch them consume their energy, they might as well continue to consume it.

"."

Fan Xian opened and closed his mouth, opened and closed it again, as if countless words came to his lips, but he didn't know which one to say first.

However, the Emperor's eyes gradually brightened, because he knew who Fan Xian was waiting for.

"Wuzhu will not come." Emperor Qing was not aware of Li An's changes. In his mind, the only ones who could threaten his life and rule in this world were that beautiful figure and the strange servant standing beside her.

"For so many years, he has been to the temple countless times in an attempt to regain his memory. But if he really entered the temple, how could he ever get out?"

Fan Xian nodded. Wu Zhu might have been to the temple in the past.

But he couldn't even get through the door and would be chased. He might be able to defeat one or two people in the temple, but what if the opponents rushed out?
This sadness is directed at Uncle Wuzhu, not for the person in front of him.

"Did you order the erasure of my mother?" Fan Xian's face showed no sign of emotion, and his voice was the only voice left in the room. "Yes."

"After the Northern Expedition, all the meridians in my body were severed. My mouth can't move, my nose can't smell, my eyes can't see, and I can't hear! The world is dark and I'm like a living dead!"

"Only the soul can still think, trapped in this body with no way out."

Emperor Qing suddenly changed his tone and began to talk about something that happened long ago.

"After enduring endless loneliness and suffering, this darkness gave me an answer, or perhaps a resolution!"

Fan Xian listened to Emperor Qing's words and felt the same way, as if he could personally experience the darkness and loneliness in these words, and his heart trembled.

In his previous life, he was bedridden for several years and couldn’t even move his body.

He never wanted to experience that familiar feeling of strangeness again in his life.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Qing could express that feeling again without any expression on his face, which was tantamount to recalling that feeling again.

Judging from this point of view alone, Fan Xian is far inferior to Emperor Qing!
"Except for myself, everything is nothing!" Emperor Qing's cold voice continued, "Darkness is the destination of all living things. In this life, for this position, for the sake of Qing country, I can be ruthless! I don't need any relatives or friends!"

"By some strange coincidence, I woke up after being seriously injured that time. Not only did my internal injuries heal, but I also achieved the status of a Grandmaster."

"The first people I saw at that time were Chen Pingping and Ning'er (the eldest prince's mother, a Dongyi person). It was also under their care that I became who I am today. Therefore, I trust them the most." The emperor's expression became ferocious, and he spoke word by word: "The biggest mistake I made in my life was letting that old dog Chen Pingping live until now!"

Obviously, he didn't believe that the situation would have developed to this point today without Chen Pingping's participation.

"I trusted the wrong person, and this is what happened today."

This seemed like a self-deprecating remark, but unexpectedly it brought out an old lame man.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise!" The wheelchair under Chen Pingping was slowly pushed out with the help of Shadow.

Seeing the surprised look on Emperor Qing's face, Chen Pingping seemed very happy: "Your Majesty, are you wondering why Yan Bingyun failed to pass on the message?"

Emperor Qing did not answer, but just stared at Chen Pingping, his eyes still majestic.

"Everyone will change, let alone a man with a family."

"Oh, yes, if you forget that Your Majesty is not such a person, then naturally you will not understand."

Chen Pingping's expression changed, and he said coldly: "For the sake of this throne, you regarded the young lady as a threat. Even though she was so kind to you and brought such changes to the Qing Kingdom, you still chose to kill her!"

"From that day on, Chen Pingping also died! Those who survived only wanted revenge!"

Emperor Qing chuckled, as if he didn't take the disabled man seriously.

The surprise he felt earlier was just out of curiosity about how Chen Pingping, who was sitting in a wheelchair, appeared here: "Is the ascetic in the Qing Temple one of yours?"

“The question doesn’t seem important.”

Li An smiled slightly.

Emperor Qing nodded and turned his head to look at Fan Xian, indicating that if he had any questions, today was a good day and he could answer them one by one!

"How did you get the temple to stand behind you back then?" This was the biggest question in Fan Xian's mind. He frowned and waited for the answer.

Although Li An knew some of the inside story, he was still somewhat curious about how Emperor Qing would answer.

"I have never been to the temple. Before Sean's incident, I didn't even know where the temple was!"
