Liuli frowned slightly and turned her head to say something to the prince. The prince seemed to have felt that Liuli was about to explain it to Tian Hou, and shook his head and said, "Liuli, it's not that I don't keep him, but that the guards of the prince's mansion are no longer convinced him, so you don't have to say more."

Liuli Youyou sighed and said nothing more.

"The wind is cold outside, push me back!" The prince glanced at Hou Tian for the last time, with a expressionless face and said lightly.

Liuli walked behind the wheelchair and looked at Hou Tian, ​​pushed the wheelchair and slowly left the garden. Zhao Quan put away his knife and smiled: "Commander Tian, ​​you have brought us after all. We will visit you often when we have time!"

Hou Tian looked up at Zhao Quan, with a resentful look in his eyes. He reached out and wanted to take back the ghost knife. One foot was already on it. Zhao Quan looked at Hou Tian from a high point and shook his head and said, "You are not the ghost knife you used to do, of course you are not worthy of taking this knife."

Tian Hou said coldly, "Doway!" He tried his best to pull the ghost knife out of Zhao Quan's feet, but Zhao Quan's feet were so strong that he could not pull it out for a moment. At this moment, a guard came up quietly from behind and kicked Tian Hou on the shoulder. Tian Hou did not expect that someone would dare to kick him behind the back. He was caught off guard and was kicked to the ground, and there was a burst of laughter around him.

The prince's attitude towards Tian Hou was already very obvious. The guards saw it and knew that Tian Hou, who was like a useless man, would never have the chance to be respected by the prince again. Everyone pushed him. Moreover, when Tian Hou was the commander of the guard, he did not have much favor to his subordinates. Now that he found an opportunity, these people naturally would not take Tian Hou seriously.

The guard who kicked over the Tian Hou picked up the once fearful ghost knife and presented it to Zhao Quan, "Mr. Commander, this knife should be controlled by you now!"

Zhao Quan took the ghost sword and glanced at it, as if he had thrown aside the scrap copper and iron aside, and said with a smile: "Your Highness is right. The quality of a weapon does not depend on the weapon itself, but on the person who uses the weapon. Without the ghost sword from the past, this knife is just scrap copper and iron, and it is not worth a penny."

The guard laughed and went forward, kicked the ghost knife, and after it fell, another servant came forward and kicked it. A group of guards kicked the ghost knife that Tian Hou regarded as life as a Cuju. Tian Hou gritted his teeth, then closed his eyes, turned around, and walked out of the garden lonely and lonely.

"When Tian, ​​you will live better without a knife. Remember what I said." Zhao Quan's voice sounded behind him, "I can't control this knife, but I still hold it in my hand, which will only put you in danger. I have some painstaking efforts on you, and I hope you can understand it."

Hou Tian didn't know how he left the Prince's Mansion. On New Year's Eve, there were laughter and joy everywhere in the capital, but Hou Tian was like a stray dog, unable to distinguish between the east, south, west and north. Before he knew it, he walked into a secluded dead end. It was not until a wall in front blocked it that Hou Tian came to his senses, looked left and right before turning around, trying to turn around and walk out of the alley.

After only a few steps, I saw two figures standing in front of me, blocking my way.

Tian Hou's pupils contracted. Seeing that the two big swords had been unsheathed, they approached him step by step. Tian Hou touched his waist and found that the ghost sword that was always inseparable from his waist.

Without his left arm, Hou Tian was no longer the ghost sword he used to be. Now that he didn't even have a knife at hand, he became an ordinary person.

The two of them pressed each other step by step, and Tian Hou's eyes showed a resentment that penetrated his bones. "Is it the prince? Haha... I should have known for a long time that I know that he has so many things, how could he keep me alive? The trick of killing people is the best at silence...!" He clenched his fist with his only remaining hand and sternly said: "I'm afraid it's not that easy to kill me..."

The two of them came forward together, one left and one right, and two swords were all out. Tian Hou was unarmed and could only dodge, but the space for dodging in the alley was not large, and the two who came to assassinate were not weak in swords. Although Tian Hou tried his best to dodge backward, he still slashed his waist with one knife. A severe pain, Tian Hou rolled to the ground. The two of them did not hesitate, and at the same time fell into the knife and chopped down on Tian Hou.

"Even if I die, I will become a demon, making him restless..." My heart was filled with endless resentment. Tian Hou knew that it was impossible to escape, and hissed. He knew that no matter how much he struggled, he could not escape. He rolled on the ground twice, finally closed his eyes, stopped moving, and waited for slaughter.

His eyes closed and it was pitch black. Tian Hou could even clearly hear the sound of sword winds from the two knives.

He has always been familiar with the sound of sword wind. For many years, he has heard countless sounds of sword wind, and the blades finally hit others. But today, he is finally going to be buried under the sword he is most familiar with.

The wind stopped abruptly, and soon, two strange sounds were heard. Tian Hou couldn't help but slowly open his eyes, but found that the two assassins had fallen to the ground. He was stunned for a moment, and then heard a voice: "Can you stand up?"

Tian Hou looked at the sound and saw that at some point, there was a figure in the alley. It was a few steps away from him. The alley was pitch black and I couldn't see the appearance of that person clearly for a while.

Hou Tian struggled to get up, looked at the figure, and asked, "You saved me? Why did you save me?"

"Because you are not dead yet." The man laughed strangely, his voice was a little hoarse, "Because you already have hatred in your heart. If you have hatred in your heart, you shouldn't die like this!"

"Who are you?" Tian Hou said in a deep voice.

He moved forward two steps and found that the man was wearing a gray robe and a hat. The edge of the hat was pressing down, and he couldn't see the man's appearance clearly.

"I'll take you to meet someone." The man said slowly: "If you want, follow me. If you don't want, you can go another way..."

"Why do you want to meet someone with you?" Tian Hou was full of doubts, "Who are you?"

"If you want to be a ghost knife again, if you want to vent your hatred one day, follow me!" The man didn't say much, turned around and left. Tian Hou was stunned for a moment. Seeing the man's brisk steps, hesitated for a moment, and finally followed him afterwards.

Along the way, the two kept a distance, and the man kept a constant pace. Whenever Tian Hou accelerated his pace, the man in front also accelerated his pace. When Tian Hou slowed down his foot, the man's speed also slowed down and kept a distance. Tian Hou was very suspicious. He didn't know whether the other party was an enemy or a friend, nor why the other party wanted to save him. He could have turned around and left, but the man was like a magic power that made Tian Houqing unable to help but follow behind.

The man walked along the way, and Tian Hou had no idea how long he had followed the man or how many streets he had turned. He was a little confused. In the end, he just looked at the figure in front of him like a walking corpse. It was not until the man suddenly stopped that Tian Hou came to his senses and looked around and found that he had walked into a dark and secluded alley with a high courtyard wall next to it. He didn't know which dignitary official was the mansion.

The man was standing behind a back and looked at the door. The yard door was opened quickly. The man glanced at Tian Hou and said nothing more, and flashed into it. Tian Hou walked slowly over and saw that the yard door was open. A servant in gray clothes stood beside him, arching his body. It was obvious that this person opened the door. The man just lowered his head and did not look at Tian Hou. Tian Hou saw the man walking forward along a path. He did not hesitate and entered the yard. The sound of closing the door was soon heard behind him.

Hou Tian looked around and saw that the garden was very spacious, with pavilions and towers, but it seemed extremely deserted and lonely. He felt that these layouts were quite familiar. He seemed to have seen them in a mansion, but for a moment, he couldn't remember them.

The man in the hat continued to lead the way. Tian Hou followed behind, walked for a while, and passed through a landscape bamboo forest. A house appeared in front of him. However, the man in the hat had disappeared at this time. Tian Hou looked around and saw no trace of the man. He was confused and frowned, approaching the house. He gradually got closer and found that it was a stable.

He was stunned for a moment, and walked to the edge of the stable, and found that there were no horses in the stable, but in the corner not far away, there was a gray light hanging on the beam. The cold wind blew, and the lantern swayed in the wind, looking extremely cold and sad.

Tian Hou walked into the stable and saw from a distance that the man in the hat was standing by the corner wall, carrying his hands on his back. In addition to the man in the hat, another man was sitting with his back to him, sitting at the base of the wall. He slowly approached and saw that the man sitting on the ground had a rotten dress, very dirty and worn. His hair was not combed into a bun, but was scattered behind his head like a madman, and under the dim light, it was extremely strange.

Five or six steps away, Tian Hou saw clearly that there was a wooden stool in front of the madman-like guy, with two large porcelain bowls on it. Wanli didn't know what was being served, and the madman was eating slowly.

There were a lot of straw standing on his messy hair. In the corner of the wall, a pile of straw was piled up there, with a shabby quilt on it. This man seemed to live in the stable.

The stable emits an unpleasant smell, which is unbearable even in winter.

"Tonight is New Year's Eve." The madman who turned his back to Tian Hou suddenly spoke: "From the royal relatives and the people, no matter how much pain they suffer, they will make themselves better tonight. I hope there will be a good omen in the coming year. But they don't know that it is just numbing themselves. When tonight passes, the pain they should have will not be less, and the hatred in their hearts will always accompany them."

Tian Hou's brows were locked.

"You were the commander of the Prince's Mansion that everyone feared. When you are in your hand, everyone is afraid of three points." The madman continued to slowly say in a calm tone, "But now? It's just a dog with a family. The ghost knife in the past is gone. There is only a dog full of hatred in the world? Do you want to kill him? Of course you think, but you don't have that ability at all. On the contrary, he, as long as you have one finger, you don't even have your life, and you are forgotten with hatred!"

Hou Tian couldn't help but take another step forward.

"We are all dogs, and we know the pain of a dog that is stray. No one cares about our pain. People and dogs are always different. No one cares about the life and death of a dog. You and I are stray dogs that are stray dogs that are stray." The madman slowly stood up and turned around in Tian Hou's eyes, "I hate being a dog, so I am ready to be a person, so that everyone in the world can become dogs. Do you want to continue being a dog or are you willing to be a human?"

At this time, Hou Tian finally saw the madman's appearance clearly. Although his face was extremely thin, even his cheekbones were already prominent, and they were dirty and terrifying, Hou Tian still recognized the person at a glance.

In the dark shadow of the lonely lamp, a cold winter night, Tian Hou's face was full of shock. After a long time, he took a deep breath and said word by word: "Your Highness, the whole world has been deceived by you!"
