Chapter 17: Saving the Youth

originally thought that Pan Lao would succeed in being stimulated and would sell the information to Luo Xiaotian, but he didn't expect that he was now being pointed at by Pan Lao with a sword.

"I told you to kill him!" Pan Lao glanced at the people in the cage and said coldly to Luo Xiaotian.

"Why? Is he my enemy or Pan Lao's enemy? Luo Xiaotian asked suspiciously.

He didn't even know who the people inside were, how could he agree to Pan Lao's request and kill someone he didn't know for no reason. Killing innocents at will, doesn't this Pan Lao care about his reputation in the black face in the future?

"You're scared! What about the courage just out there? Aren't you looking for him? Man is in front of you now, and with a sword down, your purpose will be accomplished. The corners of Pan Lao's mouth were slightly raised, and he smiled evilly, and then ordered his subordinates beside him: "Bring it out!" ”

The iron door of the cage creaked open, and two black-robed warriors pulled out a man in black in a nightcoat from inside.

Through the faint light in the dungeon, his appearance was gradually revealed. It was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old face, with some dirt on it, but the eyes were bright, choking back tears, full of that numbing fear. His lips were chapped, his body was very thin, he looked like he hadn't eaten in days, and he was lying on the ground weakly. The black scarf on his forehead had been ripped off, revealing the captive tattoo.

"The deal is simple, I helped you find someone, you help me kill him. It's fair that you don't have to pay for this message anymore. Pan Lao looked at the black-clothed young man on the ground and said to Luo Xiaotian.

Luo Xiaotian walked up to the black-clothed young man, squatted down to look at him, and said to Pan Lao: "This is not fair to him, he is not a commodity in Pan Lao's hands." I'd rather pay for this message, and besides, I'm looking for him, not to kill him. ”

"I've already brought you to him, and I've already sold you the news. Don't forget, the rules here are set by me, and now this message cannot be exchanged for money, and the exchange is conditional - you kill him. ”

"Pan Lao insists on me killing him, doesn't Pan Lao know that just seeing him is of no value to me? What I want is to find him and let him live, and if he lives, it will be worth to me. ”

"Our purpose is different, and it looks like the deal is going to be canceled." Pan Lao handed the sword to the black-robed warrior next to him and said to him, "Kill him!" ”

The black-robed warrior took the sword, and without even a moment's hesitation, raised his sword and slashed down.

"Wait!" Before the words stopped, Luo Xiaotian grabbed the wrist of the black-robed warrior, and the sword that had not yet fallen stopped in mid-air. "Can you tell me what this young man did to Pan Lao? Why put him to death? ”

"I don't need a reason to kill someone, if I want to kill him for a reason, it's that he broke my rules." Pan Lao took back the blocked sword, glanced at the young man, and continued: "He was actually interested in my private collection and sneaked into my underground palace, but he didn't succeed in stealing it. I just happened to be discovered by my people and caught the current. I've been in Kyoto for nearly 20 years, and no one dares to go wild with me, do you think I'll let him go? ”

"Old Pan, wait for me to ask him a few words. Kill him or not, I'll tell you later. ”

Without waiting for Pan Lao to agree, Luo Xiaotian approached the ear of the black-clothed young man and whispered, "What's your name?" Do you know Achuan? The boy was unable to speak, only raised his eyelids to look at himself, and continued to lie on the ground gasping for faint breath. My name is Luo Xiaotian, I know where your home is, and they definitely want you to stay alive and wait for you to come home. I'll help you, but you'll have to listen to me when you get out. ”

Hearing what Luo Xiaotian said, tears in the eyes of the young man in black secretly welled up in his eyes. He is still just a child, a fragile age, but he has to put his life in the hands of others and bear the selfish desires of others.

"You have to be strong and live, don't give up on yourself. These are not your faults, and they are not for you to bear. I'll figure it out, and I'll keep you alive. ”

Hearing this, the young man couldn't control his mood at this time anymore, and cried out with a wow, shouting in his mouth: "Grandma, grandma......"

Luo Xiaotian helped him up from the ground, leaned on himself, held his cold and thin hand, and glanced up at Shen Kun.

Shen Kun hesitated, looked at Pan Lao first, and seeing that he didn't react, he hurriedly took out a small piece of chestnut crisp and a small pot of water from his body.

Luo Xiaotian took the kettle and fed the boy a few sips of water, and then put the chestnut crisp into his mouth little by little. Then he turned to Pan Lao and said, "What conditions do you have?" He's just doing things for people, and it doesn't make much sense for you to kill him. ”

"Hmph...... When I was fifteen or sixteen years old, I was more miserable than he was...... In this world, your compassion will become your weakness. Like now! ”

Pan Lao looked at his missing two fingers and sneered, without a trace of pity for the black-clothed young man in his eyes.

"No - a man's arrogance is weakness, and one day, he will pay more than me." Luo Xiaotian retorted angrily.

He just wanted Pan Lao to move his compassion and let the young man go, but it was difficult to convince him, and he was already angered by the cold-blooded man standing in front of him.

"Hahahaha......"

Boss Pan laughed, his voice terrifying, and the laughter echoed in the small dungeon.

Before everyone could react, they saw him suddenly raise his sword and slash at the black-clothed young man.

Hiss—the sound of flesh tearing was particularly clear in the cold.

The scalp of the young man in black was cut off by the sword, and the blood kept flowing, drowning one eye, Luo Xiaotian hurriedly covered his wound, and anger ignited in his heart for the first time.

"That's it! That's fair. Before I change my mind, you quickly take him out of my sight. Pan Lao's expression was calm, his tone was leisurely, and he paused and continued: "And - you owe me a young man who exchanged his terms and outwitted the kraken!" ”

He knew Luo Xiaotian, and he still knew all about the young man who subdued the kraken in Lingyang City. Everyone in the circle knows that Pan Lao not only resells the news, but also cherishes his talents and recruits young celebrities from all over the world.

Pan Lao may not have planned to kill the young man, or he saw in him his fifteen or sixteen-year-old self, who was once sold to Nanyu as a slave. The sword just now was not so much a punishment as a relief. The scalp that was cut off happened to be the tattoo of the captive that the boy had imprinted on his forehead since he was a child.

The two helped the young man out of the underground palace and hurriedly took him to the Hou Mansion.

……

"Senior brother! Senior Brother ......"

As soon as he entered the Hou Mansion, Luo Xiaotian shouted Yao Qingshu loudly.

The little junior sister heard the shouts and came out of the guest hall, and when she saw that it was Luo Xiaotian who had returned, she was still carrying a weak young man by her side, so she hurriedly ran forward and asked, "Senior Brother Xiaotian, what's wrong?" Wow – why is there so much blood shed? ”

"Go and call my brother, go!"

Zhang Ruyue was stunned "oh", turned around and ran to call Yao Qingshu.

The young man was taken to the hall of the Hou Mansion, Luo Xiaotian found a bench, put him on it, and said to Shen Kun, "Help me call Aji in." ”

Shen Kun didn't know who Aji was, and his mind was full of question marks. Involuntarily agreed, and walked out the door to find someone.

A moment later, Yao Qingshu rushed over, and Aji also followed.

"Senior brother, hurry up and heal his injuries, he is weak and has lost too much blood. Aji, tell someone to prepare some food, he doesn't have the ability to chew now, and get some soup. Luo Xiaotian commanded.

"Yes, Young Master Xiaotian, the old slave will do it immediately."

Aggie retreated and ran out.

"Senior brother, get out of the way, let me see."

Luo Xiaotian let go of the hand pressing on the young man's forehead and stepped aside, Yao Qingshu hurriedly stepped forward to observe the wound.

"Senior Brother Xiaotian, are you okay? This blood isn't yours, is it? Seeing Luo Xiaotian covered in blood, Zhang Ruyue asked anxiously.

Shen Kun saw that Luo Xiaotian on the side had no time to answer, so he replied for him: "This blood belongs to this young man, Brother Luo is fine, and thanks to him, otherwise this young man's life would not be guaranteed." Brother Luo was really kind and bold, and I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat. The red-haired monster is notoriously murderous without blinking, and there is no black-faced person who is not afraid of him, he is the hell rakshasa here. ”

After experiencing the danger of the dungeon, Shen Kun had palpitations, and he had just lost his voice in the dungeon, as if his throat had been choked. Frightened, he took advantage of this moment and said everything he could say.

"Who are you? Why did you take my brother to take the risk to save this boy I didn't know? If something happens to my senior brother, my father, senior brother, and I will not let you go! Zhang Ruyue didn't look like a serious and good person like Shen Kun, and questioned him and said sharply.

"This ...... This ......" Shen Kun didn't know how to answer, and looked at Luo Xiaotian and said.

"Senior sister, it's okay. I asked him for help, and he was the guy I was looking for the other day. The night before I left for Lingyang City, I went to his house to look for him, and he said that the capital knew the reselling news and took me to meet him. It just so happened that he also had a gambling house in the capital, so he arrived two days ago. Luo Xiaotian explained.

"Yes...... Be...... Oh, Brother Luo is right, don't get me wrong. ”

"Then you can't go on an adventure alone! Why don't you tell me and my brother! Zhang Ruyue continued to complain about Luo Xiaotian.

"He's not alone, didn't I go too?" Shen Kun accosted.

"I didn't talk to you!" Zhang Ruyue said angrily.

"Senior sister is fine, hurry up and ask someone to bring some water, senior brother is almost here."

"Hmmm......"

Yao Qingshu had already completed the examination and treatment of the young man, and the bleeding had stopped, but there was still a lack of some medicinal materials to promote the growth of skin and flesh, and the medicinal materials had been notified to the servants to go to the city to prepare. The rest only needs to be recuperated for a few days, and seeing that this young man has good muscles and bones, it should get better in three or five days.

"This child is also tenacious, and it seems that at least six or seven days there has been no water, and no grain of rice has been eaten. Xiaotian, where did you bring him back from? Yao Qingshu asked as he wiped his hands.

"It can only be said that he is still young, and his sin is not to death. Rescued from those red-haired vassals. ”

"Look at this outfit, is he the one of the men in black?" Yao Qingshu continued to ask.

"That's right, this red-haired ghost won't lie to us. The wound on his forehead was the same as that described by Brother Luo, and once he was healed, he would be able to inquire about the whereabouts of the other accomplices. Shen Kun hurriedly replied.

"Aren't you Shen Kun from Lingyang City?" Yao Qingshu said.

"Hey, hey, that's right down." Shen Kun replied with a hippie smile.

"Uncle Ji, ask someone to put this child in the bedroom, so that he can take care of it." Luo Xiaotian looked at Aji, who had just come in at the door, and said, "Don't take care of him, don't let him go." ”

"Yes, the old slave knows, go and arrange it now." Aji promised, and immediately exited the living room to call someone to help the boy.

"Shen Kun, let's go, before he wakes up, let's go to a place first."

After speaking, Luo Xiaotian immediately turned around and walked out of the guest hall, and Shen Kun also followed closely.

"Dawn...... Don't you bring a big brother? Busy cleaning up the blood left on his hands, Yao Qingshu saw Luo Xiaotian leave and shouted at him.

Luo Xiaotian raised his right hand with his back to Yao Qingshu and waved, and the silent goodbye had already answered him.
