Chapter 53: The Gambling

"Aunt Yan, Shi'er has found a safe person, and the packing is ready, you can go to Jiangcheng before the New Year."

The night before leaving Yecheng, Liu Shi looked at Mrs. Yan who was still sorting out the clothes for Xuanyuan Qi, he paused, and finally said something.

Originally, Mrs. Yan stayed here because Xuanyuan Jue wanted to contain Gongyifei, so she "justifiably" gave Liu Chu and her a marriage.

Now, Liu was born and died, and Xuanyuan Qi was sealed to Linchuan again, no one can guarantee whether Xuanyuan Jue will attack Mrs. Yan next, and it is prudent to be cautious, Liu Shi plans to send Mrs. Yan out of Yecheng overnight.

However, he missed one place, Mrs. Yan, and was unwilling to leave.

"Shi'er, although you are Liu Chu's adopted son, and your father and I are also empty husband and wife, but I have never planned to leave, I am married to your father, I am your mother, Liu out of him...... I would like to continue to take care of the prince for him......"

"But ......"

Liu Shi hesitated, he didn't want to implicate innocent lives again, not to mention, that person was Mrs. Yan.

"Maybe what I said makes you hesitate, but if you want to ask again, I only have one sentence today, I will always be your father's wife, and if you identify a person, you will ...... for a lifetime."

Xuanyuan Qi was expelled from Yecheng, and the matter of Lingfeng Temple seemed to have come to an end, but in the Yecheng Palace, a battle between Gonggong Dan, Zuo Cheng and Xuanyuan Jue had just begun.

"Squeak ......" The door of the Wind Ju Pavilion was gently pushed open, and the sound of the door shaft turning was unintentionally dragged in this empty room, which was particularly long.

People leave the mansion empty, and King Kang's mansion without Xuanyuan Qi's laughter and laughter is as barren as a waste garden, even if the owner of this mansion has just left.

"Out of the uncle, out of the uncle! My brother came looking for me to go out to fly a kite! ”

"Brother, brother! Mrs. Xie's homework is so difficult, can you help me? ”

"Brother, you bully me! I'll never pay attention to you anymore! ”

The scene of the past is vivid, Xuanyuan has walked in the Fengju Pavilion for a long time, and almost every corner has been walked. He thought, this time, Qi'er, maybe she really won't pay attention to him anymore.

The young emperor sat down in the courtyard lonely, and someone came to him.

The person who came was dressed in a moon-white robe, holding a handful of dust in his hand, his hair was well tied on the top of his head, and he wore a colored gauze crown on his head.

If it weren't for Xuanyuan Jue who recognized him as Yu Qinglin, he still thought that for no reason, how could a Taoist priest suddenly appear in King Kang's Mansion to look for him.

"Master Yu, or should I call you 'Daoist Chief'?"

"Whether it's a master, a Taoist or a monk, you don't care about this title."

"Oh? Since the Taoist is a monk, why did he show mercy to my subordinates that day? ”

The faint green that appeared at a glance, and the look that changed at a glance, Yu Qinglin knew very well that the person who was talking to him now should be the evil in Xuanyuan Xuan's body.

"Demon, God has the virtue of a good life, my subordinates were merciful that day, but I don't want to return to the mountain!"

"Tut-tut...... I see that you who profess to be righteous are not much better than me, the wicked and wicked! Obviously, I have a person and a woman in mind, but I just say that God has the virtue of a good life, which is really hypocrisy, hypocrisy...... Hahaha! ”

With a loud laugh that looked up to the sky, Xuanyuan Xuan's figure flickered, and he had already come to Yu Qinglin with his hands in his hands, and intentionally, he deliberately tilted his head to the right, and slanted at Yu Qinglin with his left eye, with an evil smile on his face.

"It's hypocrisy, and it's a hundred, a thousand times better than you, the demon! On that day, I was negligent, and I actually let you find the gap in the Sanskrit light in the Lingfeng Temple, and leaked a trace of evil spirit, which was attached to Xuanyuan Jue's body, and let you do evil! ”

With a scolding, Yu Qinglin threw the dust in his hand into the air, and the cold light turned into a sword in an instant, and his body moved rapidly, and he came straight to Xuanyuan Noodles Door.

Unexpectedly, Xuanyuan Jue, who was controlled by the evil spirit, was not inferior, and he only leaned back, and easily dodged Yu Qinglin's indignant sword.

"Is it a matter of concern, or is it a rat bogey, or I mislooked at it that day, but I didn't expect that the owner of the bamboo square and jade is the only one who can do this?!"

Lip and tooth ridiculed, Xuanyuan Jue did not take the initiative to attack, only blindly dodged Yu Qinglin's sword moves, but it even more provoked Yu Qinglin is anger, and the footwork under his feet changed, gradually, the upper hand was lost, even others could see that it was Xuanyuan Jue who deliberately kept his hand and let Yu Qinglin.

For a long time, Yu Qinglin, who had not healed from his old injuries, had reached half exhaustion, and if he continued to entangle, defeat was inevitable.

However, it was at this time that Xuanyuan suddenly stopped, even if the price of this stop was a sword in his throat.

"Yu Qinglin, have you thought clearly? If you go down with this sword, the last trace of your senior sister's remaining primordial spirit will also disappear with this mortal, and my body is still in the Moruo Hall of Lingfeng Temple, even if you kill me now, I won't do anything! ”

Without fear, Xuanyuan Jue deliberately turned his head away and brought his left eye closer to Yu Qinglin's sword blade. He could feel the blade trembling.

In the face of evil demons, Takefang Choyu never fears to lose its color, and the reason why it trembles is because its owner is hesitating.

"Yu Qinglin, why don't you play a game with me, if you win, I will hand over your senior sister's Yuan Ling to you unharmed, and if you lose, you will hand over the bamboo square jade to me."

It seemed to be a very fair gamble, but Yu Qinglin frowned before the person in front of him proposed the rules of the game.

"Don't talk about the rules, but talk about the conditions first. Are you so sure that I'll be with you? ”

"If you weren't really interested, you wouldn't be standing here and listening to my nonsense."

With a cold snort, Yu Qinglin took back the bamboo square jade, shook off the dust that had turned into it, and put it behind him.

"Yu Qinglin, the rules of the game are very simple, if you can help that little girl named 'Xuanyuan Qi' to win the throne of Xuanyuan Xuan, you will win, I will take the initiative to hand over your senior sister's Yuan Ling, if you lose, I want the bamboo jade in your hand to exchange for your senior sister's Yuan Ling."

At first glance, it was indeed a very simple gamble, but if he really agreed to him like this, not only would he have staked the lives of all the people of Xuanguo in advance, but he would also fall into his arms.

Yu Qinglin's brows tightened, and the red marks in the center of his eyebrows were even more distorted, and he didn't agree directly, but asked another question.

"What's the use of you asking for bamboo and jade? You should know that if it does not recognize that you are its master, it is useless to destroy it. ”

"Useless is useless, although I am the evil demon in your mouth, but I am not as hypocritical as you, if you agree, you agree, if you don't agree, you don't agree. Bamboo Fang but jade, with your senior sister's Yuan Ling, no matter how you look at it, I always suffer! ”

Hearing this, Yu Qinglin's brows suddenly relaxed, and he sneered, "Suffer? As soon as the Yuan Ling is released, the seal on the glass bead will be removed, but the bamboo side is jade...... If what I expected, I should be able to break the seal of Namara, no matter what, it will be your benefit, do you think I will be so stupid?! ”

His mind was broken, and the evil in Xuanyuan Jue's body laughed a few times, "So what? This is Xuanguo, I am now Xuanyuan Xuan, and your senior sister's Yuan Ling is in my hands again, do you still want me to talk to you on an equal footing? It's better to do this, don't change the bet, if you win, I will let you deal with it, if you lose, your senior sister's Yuan Ling...... Sorry......"

As he spoke, Xuanyuan Xuan carried a fire in the palm of his left hand, which came straight to his left eye, not hurting his muscles and flesh in the slightest, but forcing the already weak Yuan Spirit light in the glass bead to dim and fade.

"Stop!"

"Oh? Then you want to come to Yu Dao, have you thought about it? You know, we demons don't have as much patience as you......"

He knew that he shouldn't have left his hands that day, and he shouldn't have stood here to take the lives of innocent people and gamble with this demon, but he had no choice.

"Then it is a word, the day I help Xuanyuan Qi to take the throne, that is, when you are ambushed, if you break your oath, I will fight hard, and I will also destroy your original body in the Moruo Palace, this point, please remember clearly!"

Yu Qinglin frowned coldly, and left immediately, he didn't expect that he would have such a day to compromise with the evil demon Dao.

However, Yu Gong, he can't win now, and he will also affect the innocent; Yu Private, how could he cut off her life with his own hands?

"Yu Qinglin, I should say this to you, you break your oath once, should you be like you?"

Xuanyuan was still controlled by the evil spirit, and when he heard Yu Qinglin's last words, he immediately looked at the direction of Yu Qinglin's departure with disdain, his left fist, and his five fingers were tightly clasped until he grasped the "click" of the bone joint.

On the other side, Yu Qinglin first hurried back to Zhishui Peak to explain the matter of Fei'er and Xiaohei, and before he could recover from his injuries, he changed his pretend again and caught up with Xuanyuan Qi and his party in the carriage that went to Linchuan.

On the way to the night, when Yu Qinglin caught up, the group had already stopped at a small post house. The whole inn was quiet, as if no one was there.

"Huh?"

As soon as he climbed over the courtyard wall, Yu Qinglin noticed Xuanyuan Qi, who was sitting alone on the dilapidated courtyard steps, holding a box in his hand.

"Out of the uncle, you lied to me, you lied to me...... Obviously, Qi'er has eaten so many jade cicada fruits, but she is still so sad...... It's bitter...... It's really bitter...... Woo cough cough ......"

Under the cloudy moonlight, Yu Qinglin saw Xuanyuan Qi take out pieces of cakes from the snack box, stuffing them one by one, swallowing them until his mouth was full, and Xuanyuan Qi couldn't cry.

In addition to Xuanyuan Qi and himself, Yu Qinglin also noticed that there was another person in the courtyard, who was shrinking in the dark corner, Liu Shi who was looking up at the sky with his back to Xuanyuan Qi.

"If you're sad, why don't you cry?"

After watching for a long time, Yu Qinglin finally sneaked to Liu Shi's side first, Liu Shi seemed to have noticed him early in the morning, and was not surprised at all by Yu Qinglin, who suddenly appeared on the side and asked like this, his head was still held high, and he didn't look at Yu Qinglin with both eyes.

"The Taoist must have talked to the demon when he came here."

He ...... The two of us made a bet, so here I am. Yu Qinglin sighed, and Zhu Fang Qiyu was turned into a fan in his hand, and he knocked the palm on the other side boredly.

"Gambling with the world and using the people as bargaining chips, this game is really too big......"

calmed down, Liu Shi turned around and faced Yu Qinglin, but Yu Qinglin still couldn't see the face in front of him clearly, and he couldn't see whether there were unrestrained and laissez-faire tears on his face.

"The details of the demon, can the three of you know? Today, he said that he had been deceived by the destruction of his oath once, and he did not know the reason for this. ”

Flicking the bamboo square jade in his hand, Yu Qing suddenly remembered the sentence he heard before leaving, gritted his teeth and blurted out, not like slander and sarcasm.

"My three brothers entered the world from Penglai, and I don't necessarily know much more about the old things in this Xuan Kingdom than the Taoist chief, but listening to the Taoist chief's words, I'm afraid ...... It still has to go to Lingfeng Temple a few more times to know that Ah He and Ah Yu are still in Yecheng, and it is convenient to move around, so this matter will be handed over to the two of them. You're ...... now"

"You know, if you have made a bet with the devil, you cannot lose. To solve the bell, the bell must be tied to the bell, and this inescapable catastrophe can only be resolved by Xuanyuan Qi. ”

When the words fell, Yu Qinglin and Liu Shi turned their heads to look at Xuanyuan Qi, who was still sitting on the courtyard steps.

She was still sobbing quietly, and all the jade cicada fruits in the snack box in her arms were stuffed by her like a date, leaving only some broken sesame seeds.

"Woooooooooo......oo Out of the ...... Out of the ......"

I don't know if it's because I've been crying for too long or because of something else, Xuanyuan Qi's voice has become hoarse. Yu Qinglin thought that when the day came, this little girl would definitely give birth to two red peaches on her eyelids.

"In this world, can she really afford it?"

Yu Qinglin muttered in a low voice.

"If you don't give it a try, how will you know?"
