Chapter 87: The Heartless
Hurried back to the street where a crowd of people was gathered at this time.
There is a uniformed city security team, bold do-doers, and mercenaries who join in the fun......
He Yue squeezed into the crowd a little helplessly, but saw that only a broken rope was left where the thug who had been caught before was tied.
He Yue was a little anxious, she was sure that the identity of the thug just now was not simple, the strength of the thug should be a mid-level advanced professional, and those with this strength were definitely not fools, who would go out casually and slash them indiscriminately.
He Yue looked around and found a middle-aged man in the security team who seemed to be the captain.
"What about the thugs?"
"I've been escorted back to the Governor's Palace. The middle-aged captain's eyesight was not bad, and he could see that the girl who suddenly appeared in front of him was definitely not an ordinary person, so he didn't put out the arrogance of being a security captain on weekdays.
"Take me there. He Yue said a little anxiously.
"Are you ......," the vigilante asked with a little inquiring awareness.
He Yue frowned and thought for a while, then took out a medal.
On the medal is a white Holy Spirit Flower, which is a member of the [Shadow Blade].
The security captain's face changed, and while secretly congratulating himself on his eyesight and caution, he gave a dignified military salute.
"Sir, I'll lead the way for you!"
The security team is a structural organ subordinate to the military like the Shadow Blade, but the members of the Shadow Blade have great privileges, although they have no military rank, but they are certainly not comparable to his small security captain, so it is nothing to call the chief at this time.
Looking at the security captain who had obviously become much more enthusiastic, He Yue was slightly silent.
She smuggled out of Star Bamboo City.
In the defense of Hanzhu City, she wanted to implement her philosophy and fight on the border until the last minute......
But her childhood sweetheart, the person who should have supported her the most, knocked her out and took her away.
She had long wanted to come to the front line of Frost Leaf City to participate in the battle, but she was captured by Mo Xiaoye almost every time...... She can't beat Mo Xiaoye, and her family will definitely not support her to go to the front line in this regard.
So she had been in a stalemate in Xingzhu City, and it wasn't until Mo Xiaoye suddenly started retreating a month ago that she had a chance to escape, but she didn't expect that the battle in Frost Leaf City was over.
As he followed the security captain, he thought that he would soon arrive at the magnificent palace complex in the center of Frostleaf City.
Doge's Palace.
The main tone here is holy white, snow-white palace complexes, and criss-crossed but orderly roads under the starlights.
When he first arrived at the Governor's Palace, He Yue quickly noticed something.
It's unusually lively here.
In the past, the vicinity of the Governor's Mansion was very deserted, and even if there were people entering and leaving the Governor's Palace, it was very rare, but now, the security teams led by military powerhouses headed towards the city in all directions.
There were also quite a few security teams escorting back one or two men in black.
"What's going on?" He Yue was a little puzzled.
"Mysterious men in black have appeared on the streets of the central city to attack people, and hundreds of innocent people have been killed and many more have been injured. A middle-aged man shrouded in a black military uniform walked over, his face resolute and his eyes as sharp as an eagle.
The moment He Yue saw him, the whole person was stunned.
“...... Third uncle, why are you here......" He Yue said with a bitter face.
"I happened to be in Frostleaf City on a mission. The middle-aged man said meticulously, not softening his face at all because the other party was his niece.
"He Yue, do you have to explain why you're here?"
"Forehead...... "He Yue knew that he had planted it today, and it was estimated that he would be arrested home by this unkind third uncle......
"I'm here to take a look around Frost Leaf City and relax......" He Yue said stiffly.
“...... Nonsense! It's all said that it's not the time for you to go to the battlefield now!How long do you want to let your family worry about it?" The third uncle's stern words made He Yue lose his temper in an instant.
“...... Third uncle, tell me what's going on today...... "He Yue finally found an opportunity to divert the topic, and hurriedly said.
The third uncle glanced at his niece a little helplessly.
"These should all be the [Heartless] cultivated by the [Dark Palace]. ”
He Yue was stunned, she had heard rumors about the [Heartless One] in the imperial capital.
The Dark Palace captures those homeless, beggars, orphans and the like among the people, and the Dark Palace has a secret method to transform these people who have no cultivation qualifications into high-level professionals in a short period of time......
The trade-off is that these artificially created warriors have very short lifespan, and have little [opinion], and will only passively obey a certain order.
And these, exactly what a warrior needs, a great force, absolute obedience to orders......
If it weren't for the excessive resources required to use the secret method, the Dark Palace would have relied on this secret method to unify the world long ago.
But even so, the [Heartless] created by the Dark Palace with this secret method is indeed one of the most troublesome passing problems for all countries.
"This is an operation by the Dark Palace, they have sacrificed at least five hundred [Heartless] to cause chaos in the central city of Frostleaf City, and the security team and escort team of the Governor's Palace, including some of the final-level professionals who stayed in the Governor's Palace, have begun to hunt down these Heartless Ones in an all-out way. ”
“...... The dark palace paid such a big price, and the plan must be not small. He Yue frowned.
"Their target is obviously the Doge's Palace, which is why they use this method to disperse the guards of the Doge's Palace...... But we have to fall for their tricks, and we can't let them do it. ”
"And now that His Majesty the Southern Crown has not returned, the defense of the Governor's Palace is indeed a weak period. ”
——
——
I returned to the tavern in the south of the city.
Su Qiran was still a little afraid to face the gaze of his apprentice.
Is there any magic that makes you lose your memory?
I want to die......
But......
Su Qiran took a deep breath hard, calmed down his mood, and grabbed Su Xiaoxiao at the stairs on the second floor of the upper tavern.
"Xiaoxiao, is it okay for the teacher to discuss something with you......"
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Su Qiran with a smile, and a sly halo flickered slightly in her big eyes.
"What's wrong?"
"That...... What you heard before was actually He Yue's nonsense, so I didn't ......."
"Teacher, a good man does things, a good man should be. Su Xiaoxiao said with a smile.
"......" Su Qiran's face was full of bitterness, but he also knew that it was too late to deny it at this time.
"Then Xiaoxiao, you help me keep it secret, if you see Jian Lingtian in the future, don't tell him......"
"Teacher, I feel like I'm a person who can't hide secrets. Su Xiao smiled slyly.
"......" Su Qiran felt so desperate. "What do you ask for, teacher, I will definitely satisfy you!"
"Okay!" Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly said for fear that Su Qiran would regret it.
"......" didn't know why Su Qiran always had a bad premonition.
"Sleep with me at night!" Su Xiaoxiao said with a red face, but she looked at Su Qiran very seriously, expecting his answer.
Su Qiran was slightly stunned.
He suddenly remembered that Su Xiaoxiao was only a twelve-year-old child who had lost his parents a year ago......
Does she feel lonely and scared every night?
“...... Good ......"
