Kujou Yukie looked around, "Are you sure it's here? You don't seem to have any obvious markings, don't play ...... me?"

Before she could finish her sentence, Pennington suddenly took a step forward and slapped the trunk of the tree. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Kujou Yukie screamed, and his whole body was hung upside down like a prey by the rope net hidden on the ground. She reacted quickly, and as soon as she left the ground, she fired in the direction of Pennington, but Pennington had already ducked behind the tree.

Kujou Yukie finished the bullets in the gun in one go, and then began to fumble with the weapon on his body, trying to cut the rope net. However, she hung upside down, and her movements became very clumsy, and she struggled for a long time, but she could not touch the knife in the boot.

Pennington walked out from behind the trunk, "You are now head-down, the intracranial pressure is high, and soon your eyeballs will be bloodshot, your head will be swollen, and your judgment ability will be greatly reduced. ”

Kujou Yukie was so angry that he scolded, "Bastard, what are you doing with such a sneak attack?"

"You haven't attacked yet?" Pennington said coldly, "This trap was originally used to trap the red muntjac, and now it seems that it is not bad to deal with you." ”

"Your so-called token isn't here at all!" Kujou Yukie finally reacted, "You lied to me!"

"Didn't you lie to me?" Pennington moved his hands and feet, "you don't really think I'm stupid enough to believe your nonsense, do you? He looked up to the sky and laughed, "I and Yun Trace were incognito before, did you let us go?" he spat on the ground and said disdainfully, "I won't believe a word of the neon people's words." ”

Kujou Yukie's face flushed, "I didn't lie to you just now, really!" She was so anxious that her voice was crying, "Yun Trace is dead, and I have no rival in love, as long as I can get the token of the Amber Palace, I will make a great contribution in front of the president! I don't need to kill you!"

"Isn't the president you're talking about the fox of Kujou Harumi?" Pennington said sarcastically, "It's a pity that I know him too well." I'll tell you the truth, even if you find the Amber Palace, the most he will be grateful to you is, the person in his heart is still a cloud trail, and there will never be a place for you. He glanced at Kujou Yukie, "I think you know this better than I do." ”

Kujo Yukie bit her lip, and she bit it so hard that she almost broke her thin lip.

Pennington said with a little sympathy: "I heard Yun Trace say that the family that has the closest relationship with the 'Buren Society' is the Xiyuan Temple. I guess your maiden home is Xiyuan Temple. It's a pity that no matter how powerful Xiyuan Temple is, he can only work for Kujo Haruko, and he married you just for your 'dowry'. ”

Kujou Yukie was furious, and she glared at Pennington, as if trying to dismantle the latter with her gaze. "Yet, your wife is still dead, and you all love her, but she is dead, and she is a pile of bones and stinky meat!" she laughed insolently, and because she was head-down, she didn't laugh a few times, and began to cough.

Pennington waited for her to finish coughing before he said unhurriedly, "I can kill you, but I can also let you go." ”

"Tell us your terms. Kujou Yukie closed her eyes, she was already very uncomfortable, and now she felt more and more headaches.

"Tell me where the cloud trail is hidden by Kujou Harumi, and I'll let you go. Pennington said word for word.

Kujou Yukie was silent for a moment, "Are you pretending to be stupid?"

Pennington was confused by her question, "Pretend to be stupid, what are you pretending to be stupid?"

Kujou Yukie coughed again, "Didn't the president spend so much effort to find the Amber Palace just for the sake of this slut?"

Pennington stepped forward and slapped her hard.

"What I said is true! No one knows where the clouds are, only the president!"

"What does Cloud Trail have to do with the Amber Palace?" Pennington raised his voice, "If you talk nonsense again, I'll kill you immediately!"

"As a descendant of Hanover, you don't know?hahahaha!" Kujou Yukie laughed exaggeratedly, "It's the funniest thing I've ever heard." ”

Pennington couldn't take it anymore, he drew his saber from behind his waist and stabbed Kujo Yukie in the shoulder. "My patience is limited. ”

"yes, who doesn't know that you're 'あしゅら?'" Kujou Yukie endured the pain, "But, I really don't know where the clouds are." ”

Pennington was silent for a moment, "What about the Nine Haruko's search for the Amber Palace for the sake of the clouds? If I remember correctly, the 'Buren Society' has been searching for the Amber Palace since 1874, and at that time, the grandfather of the clouds has not yet been born." ”

"I didn't know about the past, and I wasn't interested. Kujou Yukie seemed reluctant to say more, "Why don't you ask the president these questions yourself?" she suddenly laughed, "Oh, yes, I forgot, you were poisoned, and you may not be able to carry it to Tokyo." ”

"You've eaten that mushroom too, you must have an antidote. Pennington said calmly, "I won't ask any other questions, and when the antidote is handed over, our grievances will be written off." ”

"First, I don't know what the antidote is. Second, even if I have an antidote, I won't give it to you. Kujou's eyes widened, "Do you think I'm going to be fooled? The Kujou family and the Hannover family feud are as deep as the sea, and they can be written off with a word?"

Pennington looked at her hateful eyes and sighed, "Goodbye." ”

With that, he stabbed Kujo Yukie in the neck. The blood gushed out like a flood after the floodgates had been opened, and Kujo Yukie rolled his eyes and his body trembled violently. Pennington was so relaxed, as if he was just killing a chicken. When Kujo Yukie had completely lost his breath, he jumped to his feet and cut the rope.

He crouched down with a blank face, then grabbed nine snow-painted hairs and attached a rope net, and slowly cut her head off her neck.

Pennington carried the heads of the nine snow paintings back to the forest hut, and he buried the Bhagamang brothers and sisters in the open space in front of the hut, and then placed the heads of the nine snow paintings upright between the two small earthen bags as a memorial.

"Do you think I'm perverted?" Pennington said, pausing abruptly.

Wan Guohou sat on the single sofa, and the wine in the glass had already been drunk. He lowered his glass, "You're the one who died once." He smiled, "Me too." ”

"So, we've all been to hell. Pennington whispered.

"It's empty. Wan Guohou stared at each other, his eyes containing a thousand words.

"Because. Pennington answered, "The devil is on earth." ”

The bell for the "bell bell ......" was ringing, and it was already three o'clock in the morning.

"Would you like some more wine?" Wan Guohou asked.

"Nope. Pennington shook his head. He walked back to his chair from the window and sat down, "I haven't drunk for a long time, and today is considered a broken vow." Speaking of this, his expression was a little gloomy, "The last time I drank was in 2011. I saw the news that two golden-eyed prisoners had escaped from prison and died. ”

He sighed and said, "I'm sad. Because after I escaped from Hancheng in 92, I never thought that my eldest brother might have been arrested by the police. ”

Wan Guohou said lightly: "Moreover, you think that as long as he is alive, he will definitely find a way to get in touch with you, but he has not appeared, so he is naturally dead." ”

Pennington smiled bitterly and did not speak.

"So, you shot at Qianfeng Academy because you were sure that Grandpa was no longer alive, right?"

"Not exactly. Pennington was a little sad, "Although you are exactly the same as the eldest brother when you were younger, except for the color of your eyes, I still don't believe that you are the eldest brother, so I tested you before shooting." ”

"Is that a strange gesture?" Wan Guohou immediately recalled Pennington's position of holding the gun.

Pennington held out his little finger, "I was only nine years old when I learned to shoot, and I couldn't hold such a heavy gun. At the time, I liked to stick out my little finger and think it would balance it out. His expression softened a little, "At that time, the eldest brother would scold me when he saw me holding a gun like this." Later, I gradually got rid of this bad habit, but I still occasionally deliberately made this gesture to tease my eldest brother. As soon as he saw me with my little thumb outstretched, he would say 'finger'. ”

"So you made that gesture before you shot. Wan Guohou suddenly realized, "And I didn't say 'finger'. ”

Pennington shrugged, "Help me say sorry to your woman, I didn't expect her to block the gun." ”

Wan Guohou smiled and did not deny that Yue Shuluo was "his woman". He looked at Pennington, "For your age, you're pretty good. ”

Pennington pouted, "I was deceived by that woman in Kujou Yukie back then, and I ate too many poisonous mushrooms, and later, I spent a long time looking for an antidote. ”

"Obviously, you've found it. ”

"But I took too long, and some nerve damage is irreversible. Pennington said with some regret, "Otherwise, how could you be my opponent?"

Wan Guohou smiled slightly, but did not refute, "By the way, what are you doing in Suzhou?"

"Looking for something important. Pennington replied, "Finding the most important thing in the Amber Palace, to be exact." ”

Wan Guohou looked surprised, "I've found the Amber Palace!"

"What do you think is the reason why the 'Unbenevolent Society' wants to get the Amber Palace at all costs?" Pennington's eyes widened, "Those priceless ambers are just one of their targets, what they are really looking for is a special piece of amber in the Amber Palace." ”

"Special amber?" Wan Guohou was stunned.

"This piece of amber is called 'R', at least, in the literature that our ancestors have found, the single 'R' usually refers to this piece of amber. "The origin of this piece of amber is very complex, and different documents record different accounts. But one thing is almost certain, and that is that before our ancestors got it, it was once sleeping in the underground palace of the Qianqiu Sect. ”

Wan Guohou blinked, "So, it was our ancestors who took it from the Qianqiu Sect underground palace?"

Pennington shook his head, "I don't know where Morrison found it, anyway, he put this 'R' in the Amber Palace, and when the ancestors of the 'Unkind Society' went to visit, they naturally saw it without surprise." ”

"What's the magic of this 'R'?" Wan Guohou couldn't help but ask. He recalled Cotton's undersea letter and was sure he hadn't seen the description at all.

Pennington was just about to speak when there was a knock on the door.

"Come in. ”

The person who came in was T3, his face was a little tired, "Master Hou, the head of the month is awake, she wants to see you." ”

Wan Guohou thought for a moment, "Okay, I'll go over right away." He got up and said to Pennington, "If it's convenient, I'd like to ask you to wait for me to come back." ”

"I'm not going anywhere, it's much more comfortable than where I live. Pennington grinned, "Ask your men to get me something to eat, I'm dying of hunger." ”

Wan Guohou smiled slightly, "T3, you go and arrange it." ”

When he reached the door, Pennington stopped him again, "Wait a minute. ”

Wan Guohou turned around.

"I'm really happy to see the people of Hannover again. Pennington's eyes shone with genuine joy. “See-you-later，boy。 ”

Wan Guohou looked at this old man who had experienced many vicissitudes, and his face was full of calm and calm. The turbulent waves of life did not break him, and he did not bother to fight with anyone easily. He doesn't need anyone's sympathy, or even anyone's understanding. He was dressed in ordinary clothes, but he looked like an armored god of war, carrying the fate of his family, firmly moving in his own direction, never looking back.

Wan Guohou's heart trembled a little, but he didn't say anything, just smiled and bowed, and then turned around and left the room.

Yue Shuluo's face was still as pale as paper, and as soon as she saw Wan Guohou enter the room, she was anxious to sit up. "Don't move. Wan Guohou said in a commanding tone, "Be honest." ”

"Have you taken out all the fragments of the bullet?" Wan Guohou nodded at Jiang Ruli.

"Well, the operation went well. Jiang Ruli briefly reported, and then took it to the door and went out.

Wan Guohou walked to the side of the bed, bent down, and gently stroked Yueshu's hair, "Silly girl, don't be strong next time." ”

A smile appeared on Yue Shuluo's face, "I didn't think about it that much. ”

"That's why I feel sorry for you. Wan Guohou whispered, "You are my butler, not my bodyguard." This kind of thing must not happen again. ”

"Yes. Yueshuluo replied meekly.

At the same time, T3 brought food to Pennington. The latter was not polite either, and immediately feasted on it. Although T3 didn't like this person, he still respectfully said, "Don't worry, there will be other dishes in a while." ”

Pennington glanced at him, "What do you care about what I eat?"

T3 was snatched away by him, a little speechless, "Then you enjoy it slowly." And with that, he went out.

Penning ate for a while, when he suddenly heard a strange sound coming from the door of the room. Alertly, he put down his plate and tiptoed towards the door.

"あしゅら!あしゅら!" a pretentious voice called out to him.

Pennington's face sank, this was what the people of the Unkind Society had called him before. He looked around nervously and picked up the empty wine bottle from the cabinet.

Pennington waited for a moment by the doorframe, and when the voice rang out again, he immediately angrily pulled the door open.

However, the doorway was silent, and there was no one but a pocket voice recorder with a playback light on and lay on the ground.

Pennington turned off the recorder and whispered to the sides of the hallway, checking it out, but he didn't find anyone.

He returned to his study in confusion, and as soon as he closed the door, he noticed a small folded note on the floor. He picked up the note, opened it, and his face instantly turned pale.

Pennington put away the note and recorder, thought for a moment, then walked to the window, opened it, and jumped down without hesitation.
