Gongsun Yong, who left the mansion of the city lord of Liuyun City, did not immediately go out of the city to report the progress of the mission to Ao Xian. Because, he still has a task that has not been completed, that is, to convey Ao Xin's arrangements for the next battle in Liuyun City with Ao Ye, who is now temporarily living in the city, and exchange information with him.

Originally, Ao Xian left Ao Ye in Liuyun City, not just to let him recuperate in the city. More hope to pay attention to Nantang's every move through Ao Ye. Although in this process, Nantang sent people to pay close attention to Ao Ye, but with the change of the current situation, those who were responsible for keeping an eye on Ao Ye were also transferred by Nantang in this process.

In fact, Nantang's wariness of Xia Guo did not let go for a moment. Although Ao Xian now left Ao Ye as a hostage in Liuyun City, it could not alleviate the uneasiness in Nantang's heart.

As Yun Fan said, there are not many people around Nantang who can be trusted, or who can be responsible for heavy responsibilities. At this time, Liuyun City is undoubtedly a "siege" for Nantang.

Although he already knew the content of the transaction between Xia Guo and Xuanyi Wuji, Nantang had other plans. This is also the reason why Nantang did not speak openly and honestly after meeting Ao Xin.

Nantang, who grew up in exile since childhood, depended on his brother Nan Zhi, and later his brother joined the Night Raven Army of Mexico, and Nantang joined the "Ghost Fire". Later, Nantang was promoted by Xuanyi Wuyi, and turned from an assassin walking in the dark to the city lord of the Mo Kingdom in Liuyun City, Jibei.

Finally, the two brothers had the opportunity to work together, but as a result, the invasion of the Thousand Thunder Kingdom, Nanzhi was killed in battle, and Yaoguang City fell. Nantang, who learned the news, locked himself in the city lord's mansion in Liuyun City for a long time.

What Nantang experienced during this period, no one knows.

It's just that when Nantang walked out of the City Lord's Mansion in Liuyun City again, the Nantang of the past no longer existed. In his place was a peerless martial artist who had stepped into the "Realm of Mental Martial Arts".

After Gongsun Yong left the city lord's mansion in Liuyun City, he followed the guidance of the servants to find the mansion where Ao Ye lived. At this time, Ao Ye was sitting alone under the eaves of the courtyard in the house, looking at the snowfall in the sky, playing a poignant Xun.

Seeing this scene, Gongsun Yong stood silently behind Ao Ye until Ao Ye finished blowing the tune. Gongsun Yong, who was a rough man, couldn't understand what Ao Ye's song was, but this rough man was also careful and knew how to observe the changes in Ao Ye's expression when he played this piece, so he expected that Ao Ye should be a little depressed and sad in his heart now.

I don't know how long time has passed here, and it wasn't until Ao Ye finished playing this piece that he found an unfamiliar face behind him. Seeing Gongsun Yong's Ao Ye, his brows furrowed slightly. He was stunned for a moment, then turned to wave his hand to the people around him, motioning for them to stand down.

Subsequently, Gongsun Yong sat down with Ao Ye's permission and told Ao Ye about the purpose of his trip. When he first saw Gongsun Yong, Ao Ye was alert. If it weren't for Gongsun Yong's armor riding a ghost tiger, Ao Ye might have regarded Gongsun Yong as a spy sent by Nantang to test him, and then casually found an excuse to drive him out.

Of course, Ao Ye would not easily believe what Gongsun Yong said simply because of the armor on his body. The important thing is what the purpose of Gongsun Yong's trip is, which is very important for Ao Ye.

The generals of the Ghost Tiger Cavalry travel with a mad mask all the year round, so except for Ao Xian, who is the commander of the Ghost Tiger Cavalry, no one has seen their true faces under the mask of these important generals of the Ghost Tiger Cavalry. Ao Ye had heard Gongsun Yong's voice before.

Ao Ye, who has always been proficient in music, has a strong ability to recognize sounds. This made it very easy for Ao Ye to identify Gongsun Yong's identity after Gongsun Yong opened his mouth, before he explained his true intention.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, and General Gongsun is unharmed. Ao Ye raised his hand to pour tea for the ghost tiger cavalry general who was covered in frost and snow, "I don't know what the general's visit is about." ”

After hearing Ao Ye's words, Gongsun Yong was stunned for a moment, and then responded: "His Royal Highness the Prince of the World sent the last general to come and get something from His Royal Highness Ao Ye, I don't know if His Royal Highness Ao Ye is ready." ”

"Take something?" Ao Ye listened, looked at Gongsun Yong suspiciously, and before Gongsun Yong could say in detail, Ao Ye continued, "Can the general bring the certificate?"

Gongsun Yong listened, thought for a while, then took out a golden dagger from his waist, and asked Ao Ye instead: "Is this the proof that His Highness Ao Ye said?"

When the words fell, Gongsun Yong picked up the dagger in both hands and presented it in front of Ao Ye. Ao Ye put down the teapot in his hand, took the dagger from Gongsun Yong's face, and then carefully examined it, and then he used the golden dagger to cut the tip of his left finger.

Bright red blood dripped down the golden dagger blade and fell on the table in front of them. When he saw Ao Ye make this move, Gongsun Yong wanted to step forward to stop him, but in the end he was still a step too slow. It was precisely because he was one step slower that he was finally able to see the bizarre picture that happened next.

However, after the golden dagger cut through Ao Ye's fingertips, the cut wound quickly healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, leaving no scar. Gongsun Yong thought that he was hallucinating, so he subconsciously widened his eyes.

This scene made Ao Ye laugh out loud: "What's the matter, General Gongsun, are you okay?"

Gongsun Yong was dumbfounded and said, "This ......"

Looking at Gongsun Yong's reaction at this time, Ao Ye, who wanted to laugh at him, suddenly smiled at the corner of his mouth. At this time, there was surprise and fear in Gongsun Yong's eyes. However, Ao Ye saw the hidden disdain from Gongsun Yong's eyes.

The same look that Ao Ye had seen many years ago.

At that time, he was still a child.

But in his memory, there was a woman who had been stared at by countless such eyes. That woman was his mother, the Sixteenth Night Moon Red Lotus, the queen of the Xia Kingdom in the past.

Ao Ye knew that in the eyes of these people, his mother was a monster. A monster that doesn't grow old and has demagogic sorcery. And now Ao Ye also realized from Gongsun Yong's eyes that this general of the ghost tiger rider seemed to regard him as an existence like his mother, the Sixteenth Night Moon Red Lotus.

The day before the sixteenth night moon red lotus was killed, Gongsun Yonggang enlisted in the ghost tiger ride. At that time, he was still a recruit of the Ghost Tiger Cavalry, and finally participated in the hunt for the "Queen of Xia", or the "Demon Queen of the Xia Kingdom".

It was a star-studded night for a month. If Gongsun Yong is not mistaken, the bright moon that night was blood-red. Gongsun Yong, who was still young at the time, didn't know what he was going to do next until he quietly poured into the palace with a group of brothers who were also wearing ghost tiger armor.

Under the blood-red shadow of the moon, the woman danced.

With fair skin and purple eyes, she danced under the moon in a light gauze plain dress. The warriors dressed in the armor of the Oni Tiger drew their sharp swords and surrounded her. In the distance, Ao Ye, who was still young, roared and burst into tears. The palace lady stopped him and told him that the woman who was surrounded by the ghost tiger was dangerous and a monster. However, Ao Ye said that the woman was not a monster, that woman was his mother, the queen of the Xia Kingdom.

Memories of the past surfaced in Ao Ye's mind with bated breath. Gongsun Yong, who was also entangled in the past, did not realize the change in Ao Ye's expression at this time. The cup of tea placed in front of Gongsun Yong caused some ripples here.

Gongsun Yong still didn't notice that this slight change in his expression would actually attract Ao Ye's killing intent. At this time, after Ao Ye experienced the previous incident of the Tianwu Kingdom's night attack on the Xia Kingdom's military camp and his own death against the Chiyan Black Lion alone, the power sleeping in his body had gradually awakened.

It was the power of Ao Ye's mother, the Sixteen Nights Moon Red Lotus, and all those who had seen the power of the Sixteen Nights Moon would involuntarily think of the terrifying power that had been slaughtered by her when they saw the same scene.

In fact, the world is not afraid of the red lotus of the sixteen nights.

What they were afraid of was actually the terrifying power possessed by the Sixteen Nights Moon Red Lotus. And how terrifying the power possessed by the Sixteen Nights Moon Red Lotus was, Gongsun Yong knew very well. He was one of the few Ghost Tiger Cavalry generals to survive that night.

To be precise, the ghost tiger ride at that time was not the ghost tiger ride in the current sense. In the past, the Ghost Tiger Rider was just an elite of the Xia Kingdom with excellent equipment, and it was not equipped with these terrifying "Ghost Tigers" as mounts.

Until the death of the Red Lotus of the Sixteenth Night Moon, the Black Heaven Sect settled in the Xia Kingdom. The Black Sky Sect has injected new power into the elite of this Xia Kingdom with their unique magic, thus redefining the Ghost Tiger Rider.

Gongsun Yong, who watched Ao Ye gain such terrifying power, was silent for a long time before he collected the complicated look in his eyes. However, for Ao Ye, it can basically be said that it is too late to reach this point.

In silence, Ao Ye turned the dagger in his hand and sent it into the dagger on Gongsun Yong's waist at a speed that was difficult to catch with the naked eye. Gongsun Yong, who wanted to say something, immediately fell silent again. And Ao Ye also opened his mouth at this time and asked Gongsun Yongfa: "Did my brother tell General Gongsun what exactly he sent you to get it?" ”

Gongsun Yong, who had not yet relieved himself, didn't have time to respond to Ao Ye's question, he was still immersed in the scene just now and was entangled by various memories left by the past, at this time Ao Ye smiled slightly: "Why didn't General Gongsun speak, Brother Mo De sent the general to take Ao Ye's life?"

Hearing this, Gongsun Yong reacted, so he quickly explained: "His Royal Highness Ao Ye misunderstood, His Royal Highness the Prince and His Royal Highness Ao Ye are close brothers, how can they ......?"

"That means that General Gongsun wants to take Ao Ye's life?" Before Gongsun Yong finished speaking, Ao Ye interrupted, and observed the change in Gongsun Yong's expression, but Gongsun Yong did not speak.

At this time, Gongsun Yong finally realized the ripples in the tea in the cup in front of him, and he subconsciously held the handle of the knife on his waist. Seeing this scene, Ao Ye was not panicked, but said lightly: "It seems that my guess is not wrong." ”
