Chapter 122: Nothing Stops
Where should they, the other Shuras, go? No one knows, not even themselves. The race that pursues absolute power naturally looks down on these outsiders. But is this enough to fight the sin of king-killing? What is more important in their minds? Bai Ya and they don't know anything, they just want to get out alive.
Passing through the layers of walls, Jun Chaojiu helped them to the tall horses and said:
"I'm leaving it to me, and I haven't asked them to report it to the city. Take my belt, and the people of the city will not stop you. I don't know where the spider demon is, so just ask the guards. β
"Aren't you going back with us?" Liu Shenghan asked.
"They're not going to let me go like this, they need an explanation." He glanced back at the confused Shura above and below the city wall, turned his head and stuffed the waist card into them, "Don't worry, I can handle it." β
"What if, what if?" Qi Huan glanced at the silent arrogant face, and said to Jun Chaojiu, "If you have three long and two short...... If we find him and reclaim the sea god's artifact, we will definitely come to you. Orβor maybe if you're done with it, you must go to the Imperial City to find us as soon as possible!" β
Jun Ranjiu shook his head.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to answer you. On your side, don't dare to delay for a moment, after all, if you alarm him when you are looking for someone and let him run away, it will be even more difficult. β
"You're overestimating us." Qi Huan smiled ugly, "We're afraid that he will fight us on the spot." You don't know, we suffered a lot last time. β
"No, it won't. No one dared to mess around in the royal city of Shura. β
"But ......"
But Shura's reign is probably over. It's only a matter of time before the whole world knows.
"If you don't go, it's really too late." Jun Chaojiu's voice became stern, as if to warn.
Others knew that this back-and-forth conversation was nothing more than an attempt to give Aoyan more time. When I had time to miss the past, I didn't have a chance, but now that the misunderstanding has been solved, the two haven't even been able to calm down and talk about it, but the troubles are continuous. This made her already mushy brain even thicker, and she couldn't turn a corner.
She just felt tired and wanted to rest. But she also knows very well that she can't rest.
"Actually, it's okay for you to stay." Bai Ya suddenly said, "You are here for your father, not for these magic weapons. Even if you don't bring anything back, the court will never make things difficult for you. Now that you've found the general, you should follow him in case of an accident - I'm not talking about any accidents, I'm saying that you don't have to hit the big luck and miss it again. β
He didn't seem to be joking, but analyzed the pros and cons with her in a down-to-earth manner, but his words were not very good. Jun Aoyan was a little angry and wanted to say a few words to him. After all, no matter how you say it, she is not a merciless person. Staying like this, ostensibly to help her father cope with this mess - but what could she say or do? Speaking in detail, it seems that she abandoned everyone, only cared about herself, threw the next trouble to others, and became the shopkeeper herself.
"Bai Shaoxia is right...... unexpectedly, Liu Shenghan also echoed, "If you catch it, you shouldn't let go, it's us who persuade you, it's not that you don't help us." Here is Frost Moon King, nothing will happen. β
Frost Moon Jun sat on the horse like a nobody at the moment, buttoned her nails, and was not in a hurry about anything, not paying attention.
"I ...... Butβ" Jun Aoyan looked at her father, her expression was complicated, and she stopped talking.
"I taught her that she should never leave her comrades behind." Jun Chaojiu's tone was much softer, "I know she must want to come...... But I don't know, she really came. It's because I'm too negative, I accept reality easily, don't struggle, and go with the flow. You have followed her all the way to such a dangerous situation in the Nine Heavens Kingdom, and it is a fateful friendship. Go, it's not like you can't come back. β
With that, he suddenly blew his whistle. This whistle is very special, and no one usually blows this tune. Before they could react, the horses under them suddenly raised their front hooves one by one and walked away, leaving them without leaving them the slightest time to hesitate. Except for a few short, subconscious exclamations, the last thing Jun Chaojiu heard was his daughter's hysterical roar.
"Old fellow - alive! Come to me alive! β
He suddenly smiled, revealing a mouthful of old teeth that were slightly yellow. Dead girl has never learned any manners since she was a child.
Along the way, Qi Huan was telling Aoyan not to care too much. After all, the old general is in a high position and has weight, and his words in the martial country also have weight. According to Shura's rules, even if the king died, they had to obey the orders of the other superiors. Didn't the king kill him by drinking? He didn't know the murderer, so there was no reason to make things difficult for him. What's more, he has lived in Wuguo for many years, and he must have a clear understanding of Shura's temperament, and he has nothing to do.
Unfortunately, the horse was running too fast and the road was very bumpy. Along the way, he barely managed to drown out the sound of horses' hooves by shouting and talking. On two occasions, he also bit his tongue, and the pain eased for a long time. But he didn't give up, and continued to persuade, regardless of whether Aoyan was listening or not. In fact, she really couldn't hear a few words clearly, and could only roughly guess the meaning. What's more, her heart is closed, even if Qi Huan pours word by word into her ears in front of her, it may not let her listen to her heart.
After a short time, they returned to the Imperial City of the Martial Kingdom. Along the way, they also trampled on the stalls of many small traders and hawkers, but they had no time to apologize. As they were about to storm the gates, the guards immediately turned their weapons on them and forced them to dismount. Bai Ya sat on the horse and didn't look at them, so he showed the waist card of Jun Chaojiu. Several of the guards looked at each other with some suspicion.
"Did the general give it to you? We have to check the authenticity. β
Bai Ya threw the sign down without saying a word, they hurriedly went to pick it up, and then carefully checked it. Qi Huan probed from behind, and they could look at the originally tall Shura on their tall horses, which gave people the feeling of standing up their waists. However, the guards were too slow, and they were all in a hurry.
"How can you prove that he gave it to you, and not you robbed it?"
Bai Ya was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, and his eyes widened and he looked at them. Liu Shenghan said in the rear:
"The king told us to go back to the city first, and gave us his waist card. The others were still in the Temple of the God of War, with the king and them. Something seemed to be going on there, and it was inconvenient for us to participate, so let's come back first. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to see it, or wait for the general to come back and ask for clarification. Please let us in first, a few big brothers. The king and the generals are not there, how can we be a threat? β
I think it's the same thing. Shura returned the waist card to Bai Ya and said:
ββ¦β¦ No problem, go for it. β04
Bai Ya rode his horse in first, and Qi Huan stopped the horse in front of the guards.
"Well, the king told us to go and call a...... A spider demon should be called Xuanwu, right? She asked us to send a message that we were in a hurry to ask him to go to the Temple of War. Where is he? β
"Oh, got it. We'll send someone to ask for him. β
"No, no, no, the king told us to bring him over, and you can tell us where he is......"
Although several of the guards were a little suspicious, they still told them. After all, in Shura's territory, they didn't dare to make waves when they thought about it. It seems that the people in the palace really don't know what is going on in the Temple of the God of War, and Jun Chaojiu has indeed blocked the news. He was really able to speak, and Jun Aoyan felt a little comforted in his heart.
"I thought that guy was protected, who knew it would be so easy to ask. Unexpectedly, it was quite close to us. β
"The rooms are the area...... And, I suppose, he hasn't gained the trust of the Shuras, otherwise he wouldn't have told us so easily. Liu Shenghan replied to Qi Huan, and thought for a moment, "However, since he is a monster, he should have known that we were here." But he never met us, so we didn't necessarily have a fight when we went to see him. β
Bai Ya deduced: "Then the thing must still be in his hands." Otherwise, Shura would not still be wary of him. β
If so, it will save you a lot of trouble. They came to the courtyard and discussed whether to go upstairs together to find someone, or whether to let one go up and inquire first, and then greet everyone when the time came. Qi Huan felt that too many people would startle the snake, and Liu Shenghan also felt that it made sense; But Bai Ya said that in this kind of place, he couldn't run anywhere, and Jun Aoyan also supported him. Several people had their own thoughts, only Frost Moon Jun didn't say a word along the way, and at this time he just crossed his arms and looked up at the room with the window closed and should belong to the black sky.
"He's not here."
Frost Moon Jun is determined.
"What?" Bai Ya suddenly looked at him, "Are you sure?" β
ββ¦β¦ Really? Isn't this up yet? Qi Huan looked at the building, and then at the building across the courtyard. There is their room on that side, the courtyard is large, and there is a road on that side, so theoretically Frost Moon Jun will not come here.
"Hmm."
"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Jun Aoyan frowned, a little displeased.
"The other day, I didn't think there was anything wrong with the smell here. After all, the entire royal city is mixed, and the strange smell is difficult to distinguish. But now, I realize that it is a little cleaner than it was then, and there is indeed a much lighter aura of youkai. And he should ...... It didn't take long. β
"You say that...... Liu Shenghan raised his head hesitantly, "It seems to be true." β
"Aren't you a doctor? You should be aware of it right away. Have you been slacking off for too long? β
"Big, probably ......"
Liu Shenghan's tone was unexpectedly empty-hearted. At this moment, Bai Ya rushed upstairs directly, and several people were stunned for a moment, and then rushed up. A few pairs of feet clattered, and the old staircase, which had fallen into disrepair, seemed to collapse at any time. When he arrived at the door, Bai Ya kicked the door open, and the vacuum inside was empty.
When they walked into the house, they found that the things in the room were basically neatly arranged, and it didn't look like someone had lived in it. But Liu Shenghan sniffed lightly in the air, and his face was sad.
"Sure enough...... Probably just left. β
"Tsk." Qi Huan casually rummaged through a few drawers.
"Why, he can still leave amber behind?"
"Try your luck!"
Frost Moon Jun looked at him as if he was looking at a fool: "...... It's too late to catch up. β
"Wait!" Jun Aoyan suddenly knocked the floor with a Mo knife, "Why did he run?" Could it be that someone has told him something? But other people don't seem to know about it, could it be pretending? β
"He may have bought off a single guard...... Or have friends. Liu Shenghan pondered, "Will he be here?" β
"Probably not, otherwise the entire imperial city will know about it, and we can still come in?"
Qi Huan retorted to Bai Ya and said, what if you want to catch a turtle in the urn?
"Are you a turtle?"
"Hey, how do you talk?"
"You said it yourself."
Qi Huan jumped to his feet in anger. Is now the time for such jokes?
