"All this is my mother's decision, but why do you - why should you participate in this?"

You are one of the eight heavenly kings of Shengjing. You are galloping on the grassland and have strong strength and power. Why do you give up everything and come to take care of this matter in Xichuan?

Even, to this day.

Most of a person's life has passed like this, why?

When he met my puzzled eyes, the Iron-Face King seemed to have a moment of daze. It seemed that he suddenly remembered his life, his years, and then he suddenly realized that most of his life had passed like this.

But, why do you have to live like this?

He was silent for a while, and the trance expression on his face slowly faded away, and the light gradually became clear in his eyes replaced by him. He said, "I understand what you mean. Many people must not understand why I, the Iron-faced King of the Grassland, come to take care of these things. In fact, the reason is very simple."

I looked at him with wide eyes.

"Because, I've killed too many people."

“…”

I couldn't react for a moment, and when I listened to his completely different answer, I was stunned - what?

Because he - killed too many people?

What is the answer?

When I met me with no exception, I was puzzled and even surprised, the Iron-faced King smiled faintly, and then said: "In the first half of my life, I crossed the grassland, fought many wars, and destroyed many tribes."

My expression gradually became solemn.

Of course, I also know that the grassland is actually the same as the Central Plains regime. There will be contradictions of unity and division, and there will be regime change and extinction. The reason why the Eight Heavenly Kings can have such supreme power and status in Shengjing is because they all fought in many ways. After years of conquests, they finally quelled the civil strife of the grassland regime and formed such a stable situation now.

The Iron-faced King said: "The last few battles I fought on the grassland were to quell the rebellion of a tribal alliance, and then unite with the Iron-Cat King's troops."

“…”

"There is a tribe with more than 300 people, and none of them are willing to surrender, but the war period cannot be delayed, so they are all killed."

“…!”

My heart suddenly jumped, and when I listened to his last three words, I said it out loud, but when I looked at him again, I saw the vicissitudes and waste of time on the handsome face all emerged in an instant. He looked at me and repeated: "Kill them all."

“…”

"I stood in the middle of those corpses and suddenly felt confused."

“…”

"I suddenly felt like I didn't know what I was doing."

I said, "So, you haven't gone to war again?"

"No, you can still fight, and you can still kill people," he said lightly: "But I often feel that I don't know what I'm doing."

“…”

"It happened that at that time, Uyur was about to get married, so I sent her south and by the way, I would take her around the Central Plains..."

I was stunned for a moment, and after a while I realized that Uyur was the name of the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother...

For a moment, I was almost pulled into the vortex of time and memories, and was completely lost. When I came to my senses, the Iron-Face King had already said: "After I met Huaiyin, I felt that she might be able to answer my confusion, so I told her about this."

I hurriedly asked, "What did my mother say."

"She said, I have Buddha nature."

"Buddha nature?" I suddenly realized it.

"She said that everything has Buddha nature, and I have it too."

I said, "Well, did your mother give you the answer for your confusion?"

He thought for a while and said, "Huaiyin didn't give me an answer, but she only said one thing to me."

"What's the matter?"

"Vajra's eyes are not as angry as Bodhisattvas."

I couldn't help but be stunned.

The Vajra's eyes are not as angry as the Bodhisattva's eyebrows lowered?

Did the mother give him this sentence as an answer, or would she ask him to find the answer from this sentence?

I looked at the Iron-faced King with some confusion, and he said lightly: "I haven't understood this sentence until now, but since Huaiyin told me this sentence, my confusion has disappeared."

"..." I couldn't understand for a moment, so I could only ask: "What after that?"

He looked at me and said calmly: "Since then, I stayed in Xichuan. Sometimes, I would go to see Huaiyin, listen to her and practice with her."

Practice...

It turned out that since then, the Iron-Faced King had been practicing with his mother, which is what Xue Qian told me that at that time, my mother often had a private meeting with a man wearing a mask in the pavilion in the back mountain.

However, when I remembered Xue Qian's expectation, I couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Sometimes, the same thing is considered holy by the pure, and the turbid, and the turbid, and I don’t think Xue Qian’s expectations are so filthy. I just sigh that in such years, my mother was able to meet such a man, which was not only a merit, but also a blessing for her.

I sighed secretly in my heart, and then asked again: "So, later, when my mother planned to rob the Florian artillery, did you get involved in this matter?"

The Iron-faced King nodded.

I didn't ask him again what he changed and got when he was practicing with my mother. I only saw such an iron-faced king today, and the marks that years left on his face and the vicissitudes that have settled in his eyes over the years, and I seemed to be able to understand them completely.

What my mother said has changed him a lot.

Thinking of this, I sighed deeply.

Immediately afterwards, my mood gradually became a little nervous.

In fact, from the beginning, I have never asked what I want to know. First, I have not completely thought about it. Once the Flang machine cannon is really born, how can I control the development of the whole thing? Second, maybe it is really a "nearby feeling", and it took me a mystery that I had been suspicious for so long. The person who solved it was right in front of me, and I couldn't speak.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! But after all, I still have to ask.

I asked softly: "Uncle Iron-faced Wang, since my mother had entrusted you to you, are those batches of Flang machine guns in your hands?"

He didn't say anything, but just looked at me calmly, and a hint of chill seemed to seep out of his eyes.

I insisted and asked, "Where are they?"

After I finished speaking, the Iron-Faced King still did not answer. Instead, he looked at me for a while and suddenly said, "You said you went to sea to find your daughter?"

"Yes, but I only realized that there was a little misunderstanding after I left the sea. My daughter is still on the land."

"Anyway, you didn't come for the Florence gun?"

"..." I glanced at him and shook my head.

The iron-faced king said: "So, where are the two people with you?"

I was stunned, Liu Qinghan and Han Zitong?

Of course, they both came to sea for the Folang machine guns. After all, Han Zitong did everything for Pei Yuanxiu, and Liu Qinghan himself was a minister of the court.

I told the Iron-Face King this in its original form, and then said, "They all went to sea for the Florida machine and cannon, but I don't know what their purpose each has."

The Iron Face King's face was cold and hard, with a sharp and murderous aura. All the tenderness that had been immersed in memories before was exhausted at this moment. I think, just like his attack on Yan Qinghan's ship, although he had practiced for so long and knew the compassion of the Bodhisattva's lower eyebrows, he also had the thundering method of glaring at the Vajra. If he knew that someone had the idea of ​​shooting the Buddha's cannon, his approach would not change.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little trembling.

He said subconsciously: "None of them are bad people."

The Iron-faced King glanced at me and turned his head coldly.

I felt more and more uneasy. Although I thought he would really attack them without asking the reason, after all, both of them are on his boat now, and I am on his boat. How things will develop is not within my control.

I thought about it and decided to postpone this matter first. I said softly: "Uncle Iron-faced Wang, I still have some things I want to tell you."

"What's up?"

"About, Queen Mother."

"Empress Dowager?" He frowned slightly, as if he could not react, but immediately a light flashed in his eyes: "Uyur?"

"Yes, your sister, she is the imperial concubine of the Supreme Emperor. After the new emperor ascended the throne, she was revered as the queen mother. Now—"

I haven't finished speaking.

But it's because I can't continue.

I just wanted to tell him about the situation of his relative, but I forgot that he was over fifty years old and suddenly accepted that his sister had passed away, and that in that case, he committed suicide to protect the emperor who was not his own son. This was undoubtedly a huge blow to him!

The Iron-faced King immediately asked, "How is she now?"

Just then, a rapid knock came from outside the door.

My words also stopped at my mouth. When I looked back, the door was pushed open. A strong middle-aged man stood at the door with a look of anxiety on his face: "Brother, something happened."

The Iron-faced King immediately frowned: "What happened?"

The man glanced at me and spoke cautiously without immediately speaking.

The Iron-faced King also glanced at me, but without any hesitation, and quickly said, "You go back first."
