Chapter 31: The Wedding Part II

The particularity of Hongcheng is that although it is an imperial city, it is deeply influenced by the culture of the Western Regions. And the Hongcheng people got married, in the last years of the Chu State fifty years ago, the Hongcheng people mostly got married in the way of wolf people. Of course, there are many who marry in the Middle-earth way. But now fifty years later, under the influence of Haotian Sect, the weddings have almost abandoned the weddings in the Central Plains, and there are not too many cumbersome rules.

In most cultures, even the evaluation of imperial historians is quite acceptable to the wolf people for their simple way of doing everything. The same goes for weddings.

The wedding of the wolf people does not have many of the cumbersome processes of the marriage of the Central Plains people. The bride and groom will appear in everyone's sight, and there are no taboos. And the so-called wedding, after all, is a grand banquet. Of course, the wolf people pay attention to vows, and the marriage contract is one of the most important vows in life, and the ceremony of completing the marriage contract varies from place to place. Once this ceremony is completed, the marriage contract between the two is completed. Such a ceremony can be so simple that it does not even require the approval of the parents, and even if the parents do not allow the relationship after the oath is completed, the parents must also recognize it in the laws of the wolf clan.

It is worth mentioning that the steppe wolf people believe in many gods, most of which are associated with animal husbandry, such as the god of wild cattle and the god of white sheep, etc., but after the establishment of Haotian Sect, the gods were gradually unified into Haotian.

The arrogance and decisiveness of the wolf people can even be said to be somewhat arbitrary, coupled with their backward civilization, for many years the people of the empire have thought that the wolf people are just a group of reckless primitive people. But in fact, in addition to the fact that industrial civilization lags much behind the empire, there are actually many wise strategists among the wolf people.

It's just that the empire and the wolf clan have almost no chance of fighting because of a desert. The empire did not fail to think that with the development of civilization, the wolf people would eventually master certain techniques to conquer the Dusk Desert. It's just that they don't think it's going to be this era.

Ten miles west of Hongcheng, the Gobi garrison is garrisoned by 100,000 imperial troops, and it is night at this moment, and they can see the excitement of Hongcheng tonight from a distance. Even if you are ten miles away, you can feel the jubilation in the city.

The Haotian High Priest of the Haotian Sect got married today, and the people of the Divine Soldier Absolute General Battalion have been paying close attention to the Haotian Sect, but they found that since they came, many of the masters of the Haotian Sect seemed to have gone elsewhere and disappeared. There were only two young people left in the Haotian Sect's high-ranking people in Hongcheng, and in the end, they didn't pay much attention to it, and still looked to the west.

The Empire does not believe that the werewolves of this era can research a war machine to conquer the Desert of Twilight. But they forgot that there is another person in this world who is ahead of the current era in the field of mechanical arts. So the empire did not perceive this night, the crisis from the West.

When the whole Hongcheng was shrouded in the joy of the high priest's wedding, they did not notice that the guards who remained in the city had been executed one by one.

The killing machine in the night was very quiet, and it did not affect the joy of Hongcheng at the moment, or rather, it made good use of the joy of Hongcheng.

And in the festivities, the most dense place is the Haotian Sect cathedral and shrine at this moment.

Gong Yu Liuli was wearing a crown of pearls and phoenixes, wearing a fiery red wedding dress embroidered with roses from the Western Regions, if it wasn't for the fact that her body was a little petite, it should be like a fairy in mythology, she was standing in the east of the main hall of the Haotian Temple of the Haotian Sect Cathedral, and next to her was Zhuo Ao, the high priest of the Haotian Sect. The two of them stood at the highest point of the main hall of the Haotian Temple, the huge Haotian Temple could accommodate thousands of people, and outside the main hall of the Haotian Temple were countless people in the entire Hongcheng. At this moment, the main hall of the Haotian Divine Temple, as well as the outside of the main hall, were filled with hundreds of tables of wine and food.

The magnificent and glorious Haotian Cathedral is the largest building in the entire Hongcheng, and it can even be compared to half a small palace, so even if thousands of people are invited to the banquet at this moment, it still does not feel crowded, and when you look at it, you can only sigh at the pomp and circumstance of the wedding of the high priest of Haotian.

Among these people are the members of the Haotian Sect, the guards of the wolf clan, and more ordinary civilian believers who have joined the sect.

Thousands of people gathered inside the cathedral on this occasion. All the people looked to the east of the main hall of the temple, and in front of the statue of Haotian God on the twelve steps, Zhuo Ao held the hand of Gong Yi Liuli, and under the guidance of his younger brother Zhuo Ta, he made preparations before the marriage contract in the manner of Haotian Sect believers.

During this process, no one noticed that the three red-robed members were whispering.

"I said sir, your sister is so good-looking." The man who spoke was burly, as if something had something around his waist, obscured by a wide red robe.

"I'll relay this sentence to Ah Xiu." Said the man who was called Mr.

The burly congregation immediately stopped.

"It looks like their marriage ceremony is coming to an end, sir, do you want to save Xiao Liuli now?" The other person spoke.

"No, she is my sister, a descendant of the public loser, even if she gets married, she can only come according to the rules of the Central Plains, the eldest brother is like a father, this high priest has never even seen me, even if the ceremony is completed, I will not admit it." Then watch the play first, we just want to take away the glass, not necessarily to ruin the wedding, there are thousands of people here, and the situation is not in our favor. ”

The three stopped talking.

And the voice of Haotian High Priest Zhuo Ta resounded throughout the temple. He had done the final rituals.

Zhuota didn't like to be too well-behaved, and after saying those ancient greetings that must not be saved, he finally said very casually: "Okay, brother, swear to your beloved woman." ”

Zhuo Ao looked at the public loss glass, and the public lost the glass also looked at Zhuo Ao. The former's eyes are full of pride, love, and tenderness. The latter's gaze was a little evasive and panicked. Zhuo Ao raised his left arm and pressed his fist to his chest, and the handsome man said in a deep and loud voice:

"I, Zhuo Ao, as the sacrifice of Haotian Sect, the son of the wolf king Zhuofa, the first warrior of the grassland, ask Haotian to witness tonight, and vow to always protect the public loss of Liuli, not to let her be hurt in the slightest, willing to bear her illness, bear her suffering, take her happiness as my happiness, take her happiness as my pursuit, take her direction as my guidance, never give up, and follow me to death."

Zhuo Ao's voice echoed in the Haotian Temple of thousands of people, and everyone listened quietly to such an oath. Some of them have seen many couples get married and heard a lot of vows, but neither the content nor the tone of the words are half as sincere and serious as the most noble prince of the Haotian Sacrifice Wolf Clan.

Everyone looked at Gongyi Liuli with envious eyes. Most of them didn't know why this girl was so special that she could be loved by the High Priest of Haotian, in their opinion, this girl had a beautiful face, but because she was too young to look immature and young, they thought that such a girl, who was loved by the High Priest of Haotian, should be extremely excited to agree.

And the three red-robed sect members who were whispering in the corner finally understood the seriousness of the situation at this moment. Of course, these three people can only be shopkeepers, cooks, and scholars.

The master and the cook were just surprised by the identity of the high priest of Haotian.

But after hearing Zhuo Ao's oath, the scholar instantly figured out what he couldn't be sure of before - Hongcheng was lost. Although the army of 100,000 was still outside Hongcheng, there were hundreds of thousands of people in Hongcheng, and when the scholar knew that this high priest of Haotian was also the prince of the wolf clan, he had already concluded that the hundreds of thousands of people in this city had all become believers in Haotian Sect.

In other words, Hongcheng at this moment is full of soldiers.

The scholar is no longer the scholar he used to be, and at this moment the scholar has calmed down. The moment he saw Liuli, as the most accustomed person to forbearance, he didn't hide the love and pity in his eyes.

He himself began to pull the glass that was still a baby when he was a child, and in the past ten years of life, the glass has long been the most important relative in the scholar's entire life.

They have almost identical fates. He had promised to lose Liuli and would take her to live the freest life. Now his sister, who has been separated for six years, is not far from him. At this time, he deduced the danger of the empire, but he would no longer care about state affairs in the slightest.

He only cares about his sister, and he has never been a chivalrous man who takes the well-being of all the people in the world as his responsibility and pursues the peace and well-being of the empire. Since many years ago, he has only one goal, to take his sister with him, and try to live and pursue a free life away from the empire.

The scholar smiled self-deprecatingly, the affairs of the empire, let it go.

The vows are not over, and there are two most crucial sentences in the ceremony of the marriage contract.

"Haotian is above, the wolf clan Zhuo Ao takes this as an oath, if he violates this oath, he is willing to be burned by Haotian Pure Flame, and his body and spirit will be destroyed and he will never be reborn."

In the teachings of the Haotian Sect, Haotian's most powerful means of punishing heretics is the Pure Heaven Flame. Therefore, the believers exclaimed when they heard the high priest's oath. But soon it was quiet again.

"Liuli, my oath has been made, I will keep my oath for eternity, are you willing to be my wife?" There was a slight hint of panic in Zhuo Ao's tone.

Zhuota frowned, he thought that his brother was really crazy, and liking someone really made people weaker.

Gong lost Liuli even more panicked, her marriage contract with Zhuo Ao was only a response from her, and she could feel that Zhuo Ao's feelings for her were not hypocritical. This proud prince of the wolf clan actually had moments of panic.

But the voice she couldn't remember kept echoing in her head. She became frightened and looked around for something, but all she saw was the endless crowd of worshippers and believers at the wedding feast.

Nothing, no one will appear.

Promise him, Gong Ruri tries not to pay attention to the voice in his head. After all these years, she was tired of being hunted by the Empire, tired of being watched with the eyes of monsters, and tired of wandering.

She misses her brother very much, but in her opinion, the Northern Regions should be going through a difficult war this winter, and her brother will not appear here, he will not give her an answer, he should be in the Frost River to give advice to the dragon general to repel the Tieli people.

She also thought of Dumb, who should have already left. In fact, walking is the best choice. If you follow yourself for a lifetime, you may really die in the hunt of some empire.

She thought so, Dumb is a person who will always obey fate, he is kind but weak, he will never resist, she is worried that Dumb will feel sad, but that fool should be the same as before, and finally slowly accept his fate.

That fate isn't bad, isn't it, Gong Yu Liuli comforted himself in his heart. Dumb will live a life of abundance and simplicity. For that nerd, those days would be the best for him.

So, it seems that there are no regrets, or rather, it seems that regrets are useless.

Then promise him. It may be very happy to be a prince's wife.

Gong Ruri raised his head, looked at Zhuo Ao's handsome face, and in everyone's expectation, slowly spoke:

"I ...... Willing to marry ......"

Bang.

It seems that a wine glass on a table somewhere suddenly fell to the floor. While everyone was quietly waiting for the hostess of the wedding to answer, the broken voice seemed harsh and abrupt.

It came to an abrupt end.

As Ruri was about to respond to the vow of playing Zhuo Ao, she suddenly heard heavy breathing from someone she knew very well.

Before she realized what was happening, the surprise and panic in her heart made her tremble inexplicably.

She heard the table being overturned, the exclamations of the crowd, and the rush of footsteps. I also heard the voice that had been roaring in my head. Then she turned her head, and her eyes suddenly fogged.

Zota sensed something interesting happening. Zoor frowned, but quickly regained his composure.

Only Gong Yu Liuli was stunned and forgot to continue to say the unfinished lines. Forgot to carry out the final ceremony of this engagement.

Or maybe she forgot, she was just too surprised to know what to say for a while. Especially when she slowly turned her head in surprise to look at the thin body of the little beggar, and rushed out of the crowd to the front of the main hall, she was like an aphasia, unable to say a word.

Dumb came to the center of the temple, he hurriedly ran, it seemed that he had walked far, far away, fatigue made him gasp for breath, in the dense crowd he wanted to come to the front, with all his strength, bumped into a lot of people, and let himself fall to the ground.

He was too anxious to come to the front of Gong Yu Liuli, as if he was being chased by some kind of fear, and he squeezed out of the crowd in embarrassment. When he saw the public loss glass, a smile appeared on Dumb's pale face.

Fate always seems to pick such moments, when people think that everything is settled, and suddenly bring someone to you who is most eager to appear but who should not be the same.

The crowd involved in the wedding seemed to have no idea such a situation and were stunned, they didn't know who this little scholar in a dirty old scribe's shirt was, and the red-robed guards around him wanted to step forward and take Dumb away, but Zhuo Ao waved his hand and signaled them to stop.

"You don't need to panic, this is my wife's best friend, he will leave Hongcheng, today is my wife's big day, but I forgot to invite him, it was my negligence." There was no dissatisfaction or anger in Zhuo Ao's voice.

This is the calmness of the lion to the sheep. Zhuo Ao resolved the embarrassing situation, and even said to the public loss Liuli very generously: "It seems that we have all looked away, and I think you have something to say to him, go, I'll wait for you." ”

Gong Liuli lifted the wedding dress studded with roses from the Western Regions, and slowly walked in front of Dumb.

Dumb wanted to reach out and pull away the public loss glass, but suddenly heard the public lose glass and say:

"Nerd, go back."

Dumbfounded. Panic slowly appeared in his smiling eyes. He escaped from the dungeon deep underground, without a moment's pause, not in exchange for this sentence to go back.

Gong Yuliu's eyes tilted away, not daring to look at Dumb's eyes.

"Let's go back." She said it again.

Dumb lowered his head and expressed his attitude in silence.

"Go back, go and live your own life, you don't have to be a beggar in the future, it's not that my followers don't have to live a life of hiding from pursuit and fear, you still have enough money to live a life without worrying about food and clothing, hehe, this kind of day, once upon a time, it was the day I envied the most. Let's go back. ”

is still so insincere, this scene is very similar to three years ago, and she was like this three years ago, making decisions for Dumb with a smile, telling him how good it would be to go back, and telling him that following him was just a drag.

Dumb's choice is exactly the same as three years ago in the suburbs of Fujin City, he seems to have not changed for so many years, he is still so weak and kind, as if he is still the little stray dog who is afraid of being abandoned by his owner.

He gestured, trying to convey something. But after three years and more than a thousand days and nights together, Gongyi Liuli realized that he had not tried to understand the inner thoughts of this little beggar at all.

She was still the same as three years ago, and she didn't understand what Dumb wanted to say. So she was suddenly very anxious, she was afraid that this fool was just trying in vain, afraid to see his disappointed look.

"I'm getting married! I'm getting married! Let's go back. She obviously wanted to say it with a smile, but she said it a little helplessly.

She turned, wanting to walk up the steps to complete the unfinished ritual and answer Djo's vow. Zhuo Ao still looked humble and gentle, and his eyes always fell on his fiancΓ©e.

Zhuo Ao believes that any woman facing today's situation should give the same choice.

But then, he frowned, because he saw that the little scholar took the hand of Gong Yu Ruri, and then walked in front of Gong Yu Ruri, glaring at him. As if to protect the glass behind him.

No matter how calm and calm Zhuo was about the little beggar, he couldn't laugh anymore when a man behaved like that to his wife at his wedding.

"I want you to understand what you're doing. You can live until now because of Liuli, if people are too greedy, they will often lose more than they gain, but I can be more generous to you and give you more property, now, I want you to let go of your hands. ”

Zhuo Ao looked at Dumb indifferently.

Dumb turned his head unmoved, still smiling at Gong Yu Liuli, and then he pulled out the dagger, the dagger that Gong Lu Li gave him at the beginning, this dagger has been carried by him all these years and is regarded as a treasure.

Gongyi Liuli has hoped countless times that Dumb can pull out this dagger and bravely resist those who bully him. But she hadn't seen a single dumb rebellion over the years. He seemed to be the gentlest man in the world. So she didn't expect that today, Dumb would pull out this dagger.

Gong Ruri paused, not knowing what to say.

Zhuota smiled, he knew that his brother was stupid, fortunately he was not stupid, he didn't care about the feelings of Gongyi Liuli, in his opinion, this little girl was just a weapon, he naturally understood that Gongyi Liuli had some more powerful weapon designs, but he didn't have too much expectation for these things.

Stupid brother, since you have never been able to kill that little scholar with a killer, it is up to me to do it. Thinking so, Zhuota's figure moved, and he came to Dumb's body, his tall body was a head taller than Dumb. Looking down at Dumb, he said, "Okay, the polite greeting is over, and it's time for you to understand the gap." ”

The moment the words fell, Zhuota's hand waved slightly, and Dumb's feet left the ground like a feather.

It was as if all the sounds had disappeared in this moment. Gong Ruri's eyes widened in horror, looking at Dumb who was swept up in the air by force, and watched his figure fall heavily to the ground. The feeling of losing something most important has never been stronger.

She hoped that Dumb would not get up again, but the Dumb in front of her no longer seemed to be the little beggar who would not resist and would only accept it.

Dumb slowly got up, still holding the dagger tightly. He staggered a little towards the public loss glass, with a firm expression.

"Go back! Idiot! Gong Ruri shouted.

The dumb figure paused, he shook his head, he couldn't say any words, but at this moment, he opened his mouth slightly, and let out a series of screams, which seemed harsh and funny, and looked extremely pitiful. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't.

His figure was knocked away again, he fell again, and he slowly got up again, blood hanging from the corners of his mouth. He stubbornly held the knife, and the roar in his throat grew louder and louder, like a young wolf in the flames that wanted to give birth.

Zhuota seemed to have found a playful plaything, with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth, it was too easy for him to torture a little beggar who didn't know any martial arts, and even because it was too easy, he had to restrain his strength, not wanting to let this little beggar die all at once.

He wanted to see how stubborn this little beggar could be.

And Dumb is just like that time on the outskirts of Fujin City, he just wants to protect his own world, he frantically crashed into the wall of air, and was bounced away by a powerful force. At this moment, he got up again and again, and was knocked away again and again.

He already felt as if his bones were broken, and every movement required a lot of strength and intense pain. He continued to roar, a harsh scream coming from his hoarse voice, and the only anger that had erupted after panic in his eyes that had been gentle was now there.

Like a lone monster in a crowd.

Gong Yu Liuli looked at the dumb who was covered in injuries, covered his mouth sadly, and his eyes were full of self-blame and guilt. She suddenly understood something.

She thought that this fool never knew how to resist, because cowardice was due to weakness. Because of the fear that after resisting, there will be stronger retaliation, and because of the kindness of the heart. Therefore, Dumb's life should be a life of constant concession and compromise.

But that's not the case. There is indeed such a person in this world, he can endure a lot of loss and trampling in his life, but there is only one thing he will desperately protect, which seems to be all in his inner world, and he can lose his dignity, wealth, status, and even his life. But he would not allow anyone else to take away the thing that occupied his whole world.

When they separated for the first time outside Fukujin Castle three years ago, he was like a dog that had been abandoned by his master, and he hugged his master's leg and begged not to leave him. When faced with the skeleton, he was terrified to the point that he ran like crazy with his back on his back.

Gong Yu Liuli remembered the voice of resistance in his head, it turned out to be like this. She wanted to laugh but couldn't.

It was the same that year, when the mute began to speak, and uttered a hoarse and unpleasant cry.

At that time, there was only fear and anxiety in his voice. Because it was the Grim Reaper who wanted to destroy his whole world, he couldn't fight for the Grim Reaper, he could only run wildly, wanting to run faster than death, he banged on the door of the hospital like crazy, ignoring his own already wounded body.

Now it was as if he had gone back to the old days, and a harsh cry came from his hoarse throat again, but this time he was angry and desperate, like a wolf covered in wounds trying to protect its cubs. He no longer ran away but chose to resist, because this time his opponent was not the Grim Reaper, but someone like him, even if this person could kill him with a snap of his fingers, he still rushed towards this person without hesitation.

This fool is a man whose heart is more important than life...... It's always been me. He is not unresistant, nor is he ever weak, and when someone tries to take the most important person in his heart, he will resist with his life like a fearless warrior.

"I ...... Not married. ”

Gong Yu Liuli helped Dumb who fell again, with a sense of determination in his voice.

The bride's voice was not loud, but everyone in the quiet temple heard it. Zota didn't make another move, but pouted and looked at Zoau. Zhuo Ao's expression became a little ugly, but he quickly calmed down, and asked Gongyu Liuli in a still gentle tone: "I think you need to think about it carefully." ”

Gong Ruri raised his head, held Dumb's hand and said, "I've figured it out." I'm sorry. ”

It's always been Zhuo Ao who should have felt sorry all along, so after hearing the sorry from Gong Ruri, he couldn't laugh, which means that this little girl is seriously rejecting herself.

"You should know that he will not give you anything, and you will only put him in danger with you."

The public loses the glass and naturally knows it.

"But, I've been like this all these years." The little girl murmured, as if this was her life.

"But that doesn't mean it's the life you need most."

Gongyu Ruri shook his head and said, "I've been thinking about what kind of life I want all these years. I want to be accompanied, I want to be free, I want to have nothing to do with this empire, I want my family, I want people to look at me no longer like a monster...... I've always ...... Thought that's all I wanted. ”

Zhuo Ao didn't speak, the kind of life that Gongyi Liuli said was the life he thought was really suitable for Gongzhu Liuli.

"But, ah......"

She helped Dumb up, looked at Dumb's frightened appearance and whispered: "Now I know that the most important thing is not what kind of life to live at all." But...... Who to live with. ”

After thinking about it for a long time, when she saw Dumb rushing towards Zhuota again and again in anger and horror, she suddenly understood what she really wanted.

Her happiest days were in the General's Mansion many years ago, she and her brother lived a life that was not much better than when they were adrift. Although there are a lot of people living together in the academy, she and her brother are just outliers in the eyes of others.

Such a day is naturally not good, to be precise, it should be very bad. Countless times she wanted to change such a day, but time would not go backwards, so after she saw Dumb, she was obsessed with Dumb to resist.

But even such days, in the years of her lonely and lonely wandering, she will still remember it countless times. Because at that time, I had a dearest brother by my side.

When she figured this out, she suddenly realized how cruel she was to Dumb. She thought she had given Dumb the life she wanted, but this fool didn't care what kind of life she lived.

He just wanted to follow him, as if she had always followed her brother back then.

It is true that Zhuo Ao can give himself some things, some of which Dumb and even his brother can't give.

But in those years, the person in the General's Mansion who taught her babbling behind her back was not Zhuo Ao. The person in the academy who cried for her, begged for mercy for her, and nestled for her was not Zhuo Ao.

The person outside Fujin City who was knocking on the doctor's door with her on his back as if the end was coming and he was crazy was not Zhuo Ao, and the person who had traveled through most of the Qin Kingdom for a thousand days and nights in the past three years and listened to her complain and evaded the pursuit with her was not Zhuo Ao.

This wolf prince might be able to do these things, but he didn't show up at that time. That will never be able to replace these two people.

She took off the jade phoenix crown on her head and held Dumb's hand tightly.

"Zhuo Ao, thank you for pampering me, but I don't love you." The fluttering voice carried an irreversible determination.

There was an uproar.

Everyone didn't expect such a thing to happen at the wedding of the High Priest of Haotian, and the thousands of people in the temple and the cathedral looked at this little girl in disbelief, in their opinion, if they could get the love of the High Priest of Haotian, shouldn't they kneel and accept the blessings that they couldn't cultivate in their lifetimes? The repentance of the high priest's wedding was a great insult to the high priest of Haotian for these people who had great respect for the high priest.

Zhuo Ao was silent, he did not expect such an outcome. A poor weakling, as pitiful as a beggar, a mute who can't even express what he thinks, can just break into his wedding and change his mind about the woman he thought he was in love.

"I regret it, brother, but it's okay, it's still too late to correct it now, you can hold the wedding whenever it is, but the rival in love is the same as the enemy, only by killing it can you really sit back and relax." Zhuo Ta Ke didn't feel sad at all, he didn't feel ashamed, he couldn't be more clear about the awe of the people in the entire Hongcheng Sect for Haotian Sect's sacrifice, they didn't dare to laugh at Zhuo Ao, they would only resent the little girl who didn't cherish Haotian's pity.

Sure enough, at this moment, Gongyi Liuli felt a lot of eyes, and there were surprise, hatred, and resentment in those eyes, as if they were the ones who were repented. She chuckled softly.

Of course, not because she was really happy, but because she suddenly felt very relaxed, as if she was finally freed from some kind of predicament, she still hated the strange eyes of those people, but at this moment, behind her was the little beggar, and she was surrounded by a group of people who didn't understand her and didn't want to understand her, she didn't feel comfortable, but such dΓ©jΓ  vu quieted the voice in her head.

These are all fake, even if they marry Zhuo Ao, these people will not really see themselves as normal people, they will never look at themselves with the eyes of their brother and Dumb.

She smiled with relief, looking a little smug.

"Are you scared, dumb?"

Dumb shook his head vigorously.

"Then come with me, but I might die here."

Dumb shook his head and shook the dagger he had been holding.

The two of them turned and walked towards the outside of the temple, and the figure of Zota flashed. Blocked in front of Gong Ruli and Dumb.

He shook his index finger lightly and said, "Tsk, if you go like this, you won't take Haotian in your eyes, sister-in-law, if you disobey Haotian's will, you will die." ”

A tiny flame ignited in Zhuota's fingertips, and her eyes were full of teasing. Not to mention that today's Gongyi Liuli doesn't have that umbrella, even if he has an umbrella that is out of the middle of the world, Zhuota can easily defeat it.

Gong Ruri turned around and said to Zhuo Ao, who had been silent behind him: "If you let me and Dumb go, at least we can be friends in the future, and I am willing to help you build a war machine that can defeat the Empire." ”

Gongyi Liuli has been able to feel Zhuo Ao's good impression of herself for two or three months, the moment she decided to regret her marriage, she really felt guilty about Zhuo Ao, she didn't like to owe others, when making this decision, Gongyi Liuli has always thought that as long as his greatest value is still there, then he can let himself and Dumb walk out of Hongcheng safely.

She always understood that the reason she was seen as a monster was not the mask on her face, of course, but because she was able to create a war machine that changed the tide of war. This is her hole card. The weapons of the loser are priceless, and she believes that as long as she is willing to build those machines for the wolf people, she and Dumb will be safe in the end.

But she was wrong.

"The friendship of the loser is really precious. Just a wavering ally, sometimes the threat is always greater than a dead enemy. Brother, this woman is disrespectful to Haotian, if you can't do it, I'm willing to do it for you. ”

Zhuota's voice made Gongyu Ruri uneasy.

Zhuo Ao didn't speak, he looked at Gong Ruli, staring at him deadly, this man who has always been the most gentle to Gong Ruli's eyes at this moment made Gong Ruli a little unfamiliar.

"Although my brother's attitude is relatively bad, what he says is often right, Liuli, if you are my wife, you and your friends can live well, and I can even temporarily abandon the war with the Empire and break the alliance with the Tieli Kingdom."

"But you ended up making a choice that you shouldn't have made, and in my opinion, there are only two kinds of people in the world who can be trusted, the people of Haotian and my relatives. I don't believe in the so-called friends, friends are not unique, you can be my friends, you can also be a friend of the Empire, you even have an elder brother who is the brains of the Imperial Dragon General, I finally keep you, if you are let go like this, I am afraid it will only leave endless troubles for my country. ”

Zhuo Ao's voice turned cold, and after some in-depth thinking, the strongest man on the grassland, the hero who was destined to rule the wolf clan, finally made a choice between love and profit.

Gong Ruri looked at Zhuo Ao in disbelief. Zhuo Ao calmly looked back. That gaze seemed to tell Gong Yu Liuli, a proud son of heaven like me, you are only a woman favored by Haotian when you love you, but once you don't love you, you are nothing.

"Kill him." Zhuo Ao's voice was like a knife.

"Okay, I'll do this kind of thing." Zota couldn't wait.

Gong Ruri turned around suddenly, only to see a narrow flame attacking Dumb. The clenched hands were forced to let go, and Dumb's originally wounded body was once again repulsed. The world in the little beggar's eyes instantly blurred, and he felt a sharp pain raging in his chest.

Zota still didn't kill Dumb directly, because he hadn't seen what he wanted to see. But when he raised his hand again, and a cyan flame erupted from his entire palm, he finally saw what he wanted to see.

The fear on Ruri's face.

Dumb slowly got up, and then a flame fell on his right arm, and the dagger in his hand slipped from the intense burn.

"Stop! Stop it! Gong Ruli shouted hoarsely.

Another green flame fell on Dumb's left foot, and Dumb, who had barely managed to stand up, fell down again, his clothes were in tatters, his whole body was smoking, and the expression on his face was distorted by the intense burning.

Gong Ruri wanted to rush over to protect Dumb, but he felt a huge force blocking him. She turned her head, fear crawling all over her entire body like an ant, and she trembled in fear to get Zoor to order it to stop.

Another flame fell on Dumb's right leg, which seemed to be at the knee level, the little boy had never resisted in his life, leaving his only resistance to the girl he wanted to protect, extremely heroic and stubborn, completely indiscerning the cowardice of the shivering nest in the shadows, waiting for the other beggars to bully, but now, he could no longer stand up.

The scorching heat in Haotian's palm seemed to melt Dumb's entire knee.

"Stop...... Stop it...... Stop, ......" Gong Ruri shed tears, because he was afraid and afraid, and kept repeating the words, as if whispering.

Then she saw the little beggar dragging his emaciated body with both hands, trying to crawl towards her. Dumb no longer has the strength to protect his beloved girl, he just wants to be closer to that girl when he dies.

Watching this scene, Gong Yu Liuli finally couldn't help crying, she was surrounded by the indifferent eyes of countless people, not long ago these people's envious and respectful eyes have completely disappeared, they stared at the little beggar who was lying on the ground like a dog with gloating eyes, and also stared at Gong Yu Ruri who was kneeling on the spot with a frightened face.

The little girl realized that after so many years, she had not changed at all.

Six years ago, she watched Minglang holding a knife outside the Beiyou Forest and crawling towards her brother step by step. That's when she felt powerless. She thought that after so many years and killing so many people, she had become a bad boy and would not be bullied by others, only by bullying others, but at this moment she realized that she still couldn't do anything. I can only watch the most important people slowly die.

She looked up at the sky, the black ceiling above the temple was like the eyes of the god of death, deep and dark, and when she realized that she was finally going to really lose this little henchman, she cried out loud for the first time in so many years since the northern forest tour of Kyoto.

Not because of the loneliness endured all these years, nor because of the tragic death of loved ones from the hatred of the empire. It's not because of the grievance of being treated as a monster.

It's just that her little henchman may die here, and she seems to have been sucked away from her back.

For the first time, the endless despair made this monster girl tremble with fear in the eyes of the world, and she cried out with all her might: "Save him! Save him! ”

The mournful roar of the little girl echoed in the night sky. No response,

Zhuota slowly walked up to her and mocked: "There is only one god in this world, and that is Haotian, but unfortunately, he is too lowly, and even Haotian disdains to pity him." β€œ

The cyan flame was aimed at Dumb again, Zhuota pointed to Dumb's head, and said to Gongyi Liuli with a smile: "Sister-in-law, let's take this as a firework at the wedding." Keep your eyes open and see clearly. ”

There has never been a moment like this, and the little girl is as if she is immersed in the darkest depths of the sea, unable to open her mouth or breathe. I could only feel the soul and vitality being withdrawn in the darkness and cold.

Zhuota's hand slowly fell towards Dumb, and he was weak to return to the sky. Gong Ruri let out a terrible howl.

At the last moment, a strange aura suddenly enveloped the entire temple, at the moment when the cyan flame was about to burn Dumb, at the most desperate moment of the public loss glass, as if a gust of wind was blowing in the soul.

Ruri felt that the whole world seemed to be still, the flame seemed to be frozen, she could see the evil smile on Zhuota's face, and she could see Dumb's expression with his mouth slightly open and trying his best, she wanted to walk over, but found that she couldn't move.

Everyone was frozen, like a painting.

Until a sound breaks the silence.

"Sir, if you let me make a move later, Xiao Liuli's friend will die." What she heard was a gentle voice.

"Yes, I said that you are ruthless enough, your sister is crying like that, and you can still hold your breath." Another, rougher voice.

"What's the hurry, it's not that Axiu can be treated for fatal injuries, if you want to follow my sister, you have to let me see his determination." This voice made Gong Ruri's heartbeat seem to double the rate. She couldn't turn her head, a little incredulous, because the voice was so familiar to her.

"Shopkeeper, I hope you don't be stunned, the two of us can't move."

"Ah, sorry, sorry, forgot."

Not long after the words fell, Gong Ruri saw a young man in a red robe appear. He seemed to be a man forgotten by time, moving freely in a realm where no one could move.

Then the man put Dumb on his back, turned his head and smiled at Gong Ruri, like a raging tide finally fading and then a warm sun shone in.

"The first time we met, my name was Chenhui, Xiao Liuli is sorry, I made you cry because I shot too late."

(I can't finish writing, oh slot, because there are more descriptions in my heart, I can't finish writing more than 10,000 words, and the scene of brother and sister recognizing each other and escaping Hongcheng can only be left for tomorrow.) Little beggar, I actually want to die, but after thinking about it, I still don't abuse people, and I won't let my favorite characters die easily in the future, including villains. So changed it. Now there are no tears at all, but I still think it's good, at least ~~ I'm more satisfied with the number of words)
