Chapter 56: The Red Lotus (2)
When the footsteps went away, the man behind him removed the short knife on Qi Niang's neck, and when Qi Niang looked back, he saw that the man was pressing his chest with one hand, and blood was spilling out of his fingers, but he didn't say a word. Qi Niang found that on the thumb of his left hand, he was also wearing a wrench of Red Lotus Castle.
"Are you...... The elite of Red Lotus Castle. What's your name, and why have I never seen you? Qi Niang stared at the mask on his face and asked.
The man took a step back, leaned against the wall, looked up, and said, "Tell you, and then you're going to denounce me?" ”
The corners of Qi Niang's mouth hooked up a smile, "If I really want to report you, I can shout to the people outside now, see that you are not lightly injured, even if you are an elite selected by Hua Nianyun, in my territory, you can't beat me." ”
The man laughed: "Huh...... The head of the Thunder Division is too arrogant, you probably have never fought against a real elite, otherwise why would you have such a stupid idea. ”
Qi Niang didn't care about the contempt in his words, and looked directly at him and said, "Since you are so confident, why are you afraid to tell me a name, do you say yes?" ”
The man stared at her for a long time, snorted through his nose, and then casually spat out a word: "Heng." ”
Qi Niang suddenly looked at him with wide eyes.
Heng saw her frightened reaction and laughed, "Looks like you're surprised?" Do you know me? ”
“…… I don't know, the first time I heard about it, I heard that Hua Nianyun sent several elites to the branch of the Western Regions, and it seems that you are one of them. And it seems...... Those elites were not very obedient. Qi Niang smiled and looked him up and down.
Heng glanced at her, did not answer, but said, "Ask someone with you." ”
Qi Niang suddenly felt funny, "Oh? Who? ”
"Hua Nianyun's granddaughter, where is she now?"
Qi Niang smiled, "Hua Nianyun's granddaughters have two, who are you talking about?" ”
“…… The earliest one. ”
Qi Niang raised her hand to support her cheeks, thinking for a moment, "Let me tell you, what benefits can you give me?" ”
Heng leaned lazily against the wall, sneered, and asked instead of answering: "I don't know what benefits the head of the Thunder Division wants?" ”
"If you succeed this time, please spare the fire protector Lan Yi, she has not done anything bad, not even killed."
Heng seemed to be surprised, but Qi Niang couldn't see the expression under his mask, and he said, "That's it?" ”
"How? Would you like to say yes? Under the dim light, Qi Niang's red lips hooked a bewitching and cold smile, and I don't know what kind of face under the mask is.
"Yes. What about you? You don't think about your own life and death? Heng stared at her.
Qi Niang dragged out her voice, "This doesn't bother Lord Heng to care, I naturally won't let myself die easily." She paused and said, "The person you are looking for lives in the Golden Jade Pavilion to the south of the Thunder Palace. ”
"Thank you. If it happens next time, I'll spare your life. Heng was about to leave.
Qi Niang stopped him, "If you go out like this, aren't you afraid that you will die of blood before you reach the Golden Jade Pavilion?" And now there must be people out there looking for you. ”
Heng stopped to look at her. Qi Niang walked to the shelf on the side, then took out a set of clothes and a mask from a box, and said, "This is the clothes and masks for the newcomers, you should be able to wear them." Also, this is a hemostatic drug. You can go to the inner room and change and go out. ”
Heng took the things in her hand and asked hesitantly, "Why are you helping me?" ”
"Joke, I'm not helping you, I'm doing it for myself." Qi Niang said coldly, "I hope you can remember what you promised me just now." ”
"Huh...... I naturally speak and count. Heng laughed, turned and went into the inner room, but instead of immediately changing his clothes, he stood by the door and listened to the movement outside.
I only heard a woman's voice outside: "Luo, I heard movement in your house, who are you talking to?" It's not peaceful tonight, are you okay? ”
Heng hid in the corner and clenched the knife in his hand.
Qi Niang said: "Lan Yi, I'm fine, I'm talking to my cat." ”
"Meow." Suddenly hearing a cat meow, Heng looked down and saw a golden-eyed black cat looking up at him.
After a while, Heng took good medicine and changed into the clothes given by Qi Niang, and put on a new mask. As soon as he threw his mask aside, he saw half a jade pendant on the shelf, which seemed to have been broken by man. The ghost walked over in a hurry, picked up the jade pendant and looked at it, and he was stunned for a moment.
This jade pendant...... This jade pendant is hers!
From the first time they met, and in that secret room, she had always worn this jade pendant with her, and even held it when she had rubbed her ears and temples with him several times. At first, she thought that this jade pendant was her own talisman, until not long ago, he found the other half of the jade pendant in Yuna. Yu said that it was in the arena, and it was shattered by the opponent's sword, and the other half was long gone. By mistake, the woman Heng has been looking for is also the person Yu has been looking for.
Qi Niang saw that Heng hadn't come out for a long time, so she said impatiently: "Have you changed it?" ”
Heng then came out of the cubicle, holding the jade pendant in his hand. He looked at Qi Niang fixedly and asked, "You?" What is the relationship between you and Yu? ”
Qi Niang was stunned for a moment, and a smile involuntarily appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Yu, do you know him?" Where is he? ”
Heng looked at her and didn't speak, then put the jade pendant in her hand, and said coldly for a while: "I know, but I'm not familiar with him, and I don't know where he is." In fact, Heng knows where Yu is, but since she is already his own woman, he will never give her up again. Whether it is said that he is loved by others or a villain, what he believes in will never be easily taken away.
Qi Niang seemed a little lost, and then said, "Since the clothes have been changed, then you can go." ”
Heng didn't move.
"Anything else?" Qi Niang looked at him suspiciously.
Heng said: "Red Lotus Castle is now fighting outside and fighting, coveted by many forces, and the situation is precarious, and it will soon repeat the mistakes of the Five Lotus Sect, since you have no intention of staying, it is better to leave with me." ”
Qi Niang smiled casually, "I'm in charge of the Thunder Division, how do you know that I have no intention of staying?" ”
"If you want to stay, you won't sit idly by and watch me leave, otherwise wouldn't you let the tiger go back to the mountain? Look at you Hua Nianyun come to Hua Nianyun, if you were loyal to her, would you still call her that? ”
“…… Even if I want to leave, I am not the same as Master Heng. Isn't Master Heng looking for Hua Nianyun's granddaughter, Miss Jin, I and her, but I can't beat the eight poles. Qi Niang said lightly.
Heng looked at her with a smile, "There's no need to find her, the person I want to find has already been found." Moreover, I and her are not all the way. ”
Qi Niang looked at him in surprise, Heng and Jin are not in the same group, could it be that Heng has other plans? But no matter what they want to do, they all want to overthrow Hua Nianyun, and they have nothing to do with themselves.
Qi Niang didn't ask any more questions, and said, "If Master Heng doesn't leave, the guards will return later, and you won't be able to go out." ”
"Well, today's negligence, falling into Hua Nianyun's plan, it is indeed not appropriate to stay for a long time. I'll come back to you in a while, and then you'll decide whether you want to come with me or not. Heng left a word and fled through the window.
Red Lotus Baojin deliberately rebelled, Hua Nianyun had already noticed it, but for some reason, he still didn't move. And Heng's betrayal has nothing to do with Jin, but Qi Niang never expected. It seems that everyone has long complained about the brutal rule of Red Lotus Castle, and it is only a matter of time before Hua Nianyun is overthrown. Qi Niang will escape from this cage sooner or later, thinking of this, the corners of her mouth hooked up with a smile that is bound to win.
For two months in a row, Qi Niang was ordered by Hua Nianyun to make a joint arrangement with the Wind and Fire Protector, and arrested a total of 131 defected disciples who held priesthood and above positions, all of whom were included in the execution list, and the rest of the defected disciples whose names were unknown were killed on the spot. Jin was stripped of his martial arts along with the other killer elites involved in the rebellion and imprisoned.
I thought that this would end this turmoil, but I didn't expect that overnight, all the people in the cell were dropped. When Qi Niang and Lan Yi were chasing and killing the traitor, they unfortunately fell into the hands of the enemy, Lan Yi sacrificed his life to save Qi Niang, and Qi Niang was able to escape with injuries. Thanks to the rebels, she was finally able to leave this damn place. Qi Niang ran all the way, but after escaping not far away, she turned back again.
Only Hua Nianyun knows Zi'an's whereabouts, if she escapes like this, then Zi'an will never be found again!
Qi Niang passed through the bloody corpse and returned to the Red Lotus Castle, but unfortunately the beam above her head was blown off by gunpowder and collapsed, and a person dragged her to the side, shouting angrily: "Didn't you escape? How to come back again! ”
Qi Niang looked back and saw that it was an unfamiliar mask.
"I'm Heng." Heng looked at her uncertainly.
"How are you?" Qi Niang glanced left and right, and they were trapped in the square inch behind the collapse of the house at this time. And Heng's right leg was pressed by the beam that had just fallen.
He actually tried to save her...... Qi Niang hurriedly removed the pillar from his leg with all her strength, and found that Heng's leg was covered in blood.
"You ......" Qi Niang and Heng said at the same time.
Heng glanced at several injuries on Qi Niang's body and asked, "Are your injuries serious?" Can you still walk? ”
"No big deal......
“…… I was supposed to come to you this time, and I said I would come to ask you about your decision, but now, I'm afraid I can't take you away. I don't know why you went and returned, but Red Lotus is no longer a place for you to stay, and you have to get out of here. Heng's tone was tough, and Qi Niang couldn't see his expression, but his eyes were fixed on her.
"Aren't you leaving?"
Heng glanced at his leg and said without emotion, "My bones are crushed and I can't take care of you." ”
Qi Niang glanced at him, and then raised his arm without hesitation.
"What are you going to do?"
"You are injured because of me, how can I leave you here, you will be found in a while." Qi Niang struggled to carry Heng onto her shoulders and gasped, "What about your allies? I'll take you to them. ”
"You don't have to...... I'm heavy. ”
Qi Niang said even more forcefully: "Don't talk so much nonsense, I know that you are heavy, don't tell me quickly!" ”
"On the secluded path behind the Temple of the Rain, there will be someone there to answer it."
"Got it!" Qi Niang held up Heng's body and accelerated her steps towards the Rain Temple, but because she was still carrying a person, she was still injured, and her steps became slower and slower, and every few steps, she had to stop and take a few breaths.
“…… Let me go, you've bled a lot. ”
"Shut up." Qi Niang gritted her teeth and quickened her steps again.
Compared to his injuries, the injuries on Qi Niang's body are really nothing. Heng didn't say anything more.
finally came to the place where Heng said, but there was no one around, Qi Niang put Heng down and sat on the side. Her dress from the waist down was completely stained with blood.
There are many trees, hidden everywhere, and covered by ruins and broken walls, it is indeed a good place to hide, but just in case, Qi Niang plans to stay and wait for Heng's companions to come before leaving.
