Chapter 82 Transactions and Confessions

"Heh, what about the trading conditions?" Marco Polo asked coldly.

And Di Renjie also directly said the quid pro quo:

"As long as you are willing to join forces with us to deal with the Eye of Annihilation, we will pardon all your previous crimes, and we will also return your personal freedom after the war, but you must not set foot in Chang'an City again, otherwise you will fall into a fate ten thousand times more miserable than now......"

"Why should I trust you?" Marco Polo questioned.

"Because you only have this choice......" Di Renjie said without any words.

Then he continued:

"Whether you want to regain your freedom or eat prison food for the rest of your life, it's up to you......"

Finally, he did not forget to remind:

"By the way, if I hadn't suppressed the wind above, I'm afraid you wouldn't have even saved your life! Also, don't even think about escaping, it's a defensive prison full of nets dedicated to imprisoning demons with powerful abilities. There's no way you're a mortal body can escape from here, think about it yourself......"

After saying these words, Di Renjie didn't even look back, opened the gate of the prison and left directly......

And Li Yuanfang, who was outside the door, seemed to know about their conversation just now, and when he saw Di Renzhuo coming, he asked directly: "My lord, why did you give him such a good way to live?" ”

"Every person who has left his homeland has experienced countless hardships and sufferings, and he seems to be carrying a lot of things...... Di Renjie sighed.

But then he seemed to feel that something was wrong, his golden eyes became more and more aggressive, and he asked Li Yuanfang: "Wait a minute, why do you know that you actually eavesdropped on it just now?!" ”

Di ...... Master Di, what ......" Li Yuanfang's whole person suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and before he could find a suitable explanation, Di Renjie preemptively shouted three words coldly: "Deduct wages!" ”

After Li Yuanfang heard this, it was like a thunderbolt in the sky, like a big stone hitting his head, he cried slightly, and the big ears on his head also drooped, and he said aggrievedly:

"Oh, don't! Please forgive me! Yuan Fang didn't deliberately eavesdrop either......"

"Report!" At this moment, an officer and soldier hurriedly came to report to Di Renjie.

"What's wrong?" Di Renjie asked.

"Report to Master Di, General Hua, they are back! I also brought soldiers from several other countries! Officers and soldiers said.

"So fast? It's only been a long time......" Li Yuanfang said dumbfounded.

And Di Renjie smiled slightly, overjoyed: "Mulan is amazing, the efficiency is high!" ”

"Let's go!" Di Renjie said excitedly.

"Hehe, it looks like it's been mixed up! Don't deduct ......" just when Li Yuanfang was secretly happy, thinking that he had escaped a catastrophe......

"Don't worry, as a punishment for your eavesdropping, your salary will still be deducted......" Di Renjie did not forget to say.

“……”

……

Marco Polo, who was still in a single prison, was deep in thought......

Suddenly, he took out a golden round pendant from under his neck, and if he looked closely, the pendant was double-sided, and it seemed that it could be opened. Then he opened the pendant, and inside was a small photograph of a little blonde boy with a happy smile and being held in the hands of a blonde man, which was a photo of Marco Polo with his father as a child!

Memories of his past kept coming back to his mind......

It was an important memory, one of his conversations with the relatives who raised him:

"Uncle Matteo, is it true that he won't come back, father?"

"Marco, after all these years, you still can't face your father's death?" Matteo sighed.

"No, the messenger never reported my father's death, I don't believe my father is dead!!" Marco Polo shouted like madness.

The boy ran away in frustration, and suddenly he remembered the little toy in his childhood memories. It contained a fragment of his father's last slip into his hand before he left the house, an ancient "inscription" engraved on a stone tablet.

Marco Polo found the inscription and observed it with a sophisticated instrument. When the shadow was cast on the dome, it turned out to be a letter! Many years ago, a letter from my father to his only son.

"Son, when you read this letter, I no longer exist in the King Continent. Don't be sad, this is a fate that every seeker of knowledge will accept with ease. But having to be separated from you is also a pain that I can't regret. Remember that I love you and I will always be watching you on the other side of the roots of knowledge. ”

That's all there is to the letter, because it convinced Marco Polo that his father was alive, both past and present, and even in the future! I just don't know which plane it exists in.

During his years away from home, he searched in various countries to find a way to travel to other planes.

It wasn't until he heard about the "Ark" in Chang'an City, which could be said to be the only hope he had been looking for for for years, but his plan failed after all. He has now become a prisoner, even if he agrees to Di Renjie's conditions, he will not be allowed to step into Chang'an City for half a step, let alone the possibility of seizing the ark again, but it is much better than being locked up here for the rest of his life......

At the end of the memory, Marco sighed, as if he had already made a choice in his heart.

"Father......" He silently looked at the photo of him and his father, his blue eyes full of longing......

……

And at this time, on the other side, in Yaotian's workshop......

"Sister Yuhuan, where is Ah Hu?! Why did he wake up and no one told Ah Li? Gongsun asked anxiously.

"He also just woke up, I told him not to move, but he wanted to go out......" Yang Yuhuan waved his hand helplessly and said.

"So did he say, where is he going?" Gongsun Li asked anxiously.

He said...... He's waiting for you in the Maple Leaf Garden,......," Yang Yuhuan told truthfully.

"Ah Li......" Before Yang Yuhuan finished speaking, with a whoosh, Gongsun Li had already disappeared without a trace......

"Young people nowadays don't like to listen to others, so they ......leave immediately," Yang Yuhuan wiped the cold sweat that didn't exist.

"What the hell is this Ah Hu thinking? The injury was just right, so he ran around, and why didn't he come and talk to me as soon as he woke up? Gongsun Li, who left quickly, said anxiously in his heart.

……

Then she went to a nearby maple leaf garden, where both the trees and the ground were covered with orange-red leaves, like a fire burning in autumn. When you look closely, each maple leaf is like a small slap in the face, and when you walk over it, it will make a crisp and rhythmic sound. A cool breeze blew, and pieces of maple leaves fell from the trees. It's the beginning of autumn, and it's the time when the maple leaves are at their most vigorous......

I saw Pei Baohu standing in this maple leaf garden, holding pieces of orange-red maple leaves in his hands, and his red eyes were silently watching these maple leaves.

"Hu!" Gongsun Li called out urgently.

"Ah Li, you're here!" After Pei Baohu saw Gongsun Li's arrival, his eyes were full of tenderness, and he did not have the murderous aura or aura of a soldier in the past.

"Really, you've only been around for a short time, so why did you come out and walk around? Didn't know if I would worry about you? Gongsun straightened his waist and said without a breath.

Pei Baohu touched his head and smiled: "I'm sorry, I just want to wake up and come and see here......"

"Why? Does this mean a lot to you? Gongsun Li said curiously.

"Your favorite is the maple leaves, every time I see these maple leaves, I think of you, they are as beautiful as you......" Pei Baohu stared at her affectionately and said, and then slowly walked in front of her, and the distance between the two was instantly shortened.

"Ah Hu......" Gongsun Li's eyes widened and he stopped talking.

"Ah Li, do you know......" Just as Pei Baohu was about to continue to say something, Gongsun Li immediately interrupted him:

"Ah Hu, you ...... Don't you say it......"

Pei Baohu immediately shook his head, ignoring her refusal and said:

"No, I have to say it today! Since God has given me another chance to live, I should cherish the most unique treasure in the world in front of me......"

"Ah Hu, I beg you to stop talking......" Gongsun Li's heart became more and more painful when he heard this.

But I saw Pei Baohu sigh lightly, his eyes were full of sadness, and even a little tearful, and the next sentence was difficult for him to blurt out, but he still gritted his teeth and said:

"I know that the person in your heart is not pretending to be my ......"

"What?!" Gongsun Li was surprised, he didn't expect Pei Baohu to know all this.

"I hear it all...... While I was still asleep, I vaguely heard the conversation between you and Sister Yuhuan......" Pei Baohu explained.

"Ah Hu, I'm right to ......" Gongsun Lizheng wanted to apologize......

When Pei Baohu saw that Gongsun Li was about to apologize, he quickly blocked her soft little mouth with a fingertip and said:

"Shhhh You haven't done anything wrong, Ah Li. Feelings can't be forced, so you can't stop it, I will continue to love you......"

His tone grew softer, and he didn't even call himself himself. And these words seem easy to say, but who would have thought that Pei Baohu's heart is so tormented and painful at the moment......

knows that the other party doesn't love him, but he is still willing to protect her all the time......

The next moment, he gently stroked her rosy hair, looked at her affectionately, and said:

"Gongsun Li, I love you!

Even if you can't fit me in your heart, but even so, I still love you. As long as you allow me to continue to watch over you until you truly find your own happiness, then I will be satisfied.

So I hope you don't be so cruel that you even want to deprive me of this right, is that okay? ”

"Ah Hu, why are you so stupid?" When Gongsun Li heard this, his eyes were already red, and they were covered with a trace of crystal tears.

Pei Baohu gently wiped her tears with his fingertips, and said distressedly: "Don't cry, I will be sad if you cry, and I will be happy when you laugh, because you are really good when you laugh......" Hearing this, Gongsun Li immediately tightened his tears.

"I ...... Can I hug you? Pei Baohu's face was a little flushed, and he asked embarrassedly.

Gongsun Li didn't speak, but looked at him silently with beautiful eyes full of tears. Seeing this, Pei Baohu slowly stretched out his hand and gently hugged her into his arms, perhaps because he was afraid that she would suddenly regret or refuse, but he hugged her very softly.

His snort was filled with the sweet fragrance she emanated, and if he could, he wanted to stay in this moment forever......

But there is no if in the world, Pei Baohu can only reluctantly let go of the delicate body in his arms after all.

Then he looked at her with a look of gratitude and said, "Thank you......"

"I will always guard you until death......"

……

In Yaotian's workshop, Ming Shiyin, Yang Yuhuan and Yi Xing sat together to discuss a new plan......

"Master, how should our plan proceed next?" Yi Xing asked.

"Rest assured, our plans continue." Ming Shiyin smiled.

"So have you found the right time?" Yang Yuhuan asked.

"The time has already been calculated...... Okay, ahem, ahem! Ming Shiyin said this, and began to cough constantly.

"Master!" Yi Xing immediately stepped forward and stroked Ming Shiyin's back.

"I ...... Not...... Thing, ahem! Ming Shiyin said weakly, but he still coughed. Then he took out a silk handkerchief, and subconsciously spit out a mouthful of blood, which instantly dyed the silk handkerchief red.

"Master......" Seeing this, Yi Xing had already burst into tears, and his heart was extremely sad.

"Ming Shiyin, why are you getting more and more serious...... Yang Yuhuan said in surprise.

Then she began to play the pipa in her hand, and a trace of green sound waves automatically traveled to Ming Shiyin, trying to alleviate his condition.

But Yang Yuhuan frowned instantly, revealing an extremely dignified look during this treatment, and Ming Shiyin shook his head helplessly when he saw this: "It's useless, you say that treating the symptoms is not the root cause, this is the punishment of heaven, the punishment of spying on the future." The only way to fight against fate is to change the past, so now I really ...... Already...... After that, there is no other choice......"

"You only have a month left at most......" Yang Yuhuan said helplessly.

"So Sister Yuhuan, no matter what we do, no matter what others think of us, it's okay to use whatever means, not only for Master, but also for our future! The Ark capture plan must continue......" Yi Xing shouted with tears in his eyes.

"So what's next for you?" Yang Yuhuan asked.

"I've observed that the Great Wall people have recently begun to gather a large number of armies from other countries, wanting to go to the Desert in the Clouds, the lair of the Eye of Annihilation, to attack this group of demon species......," Ming Shiyin explained.

"Then the timing is naturally that time, right? Master ......" Yi Xing understood, and then Ming Shiyin also nodded.

"Then Pei Baohu and Gongsun are ......," Yang Yuhuan mentioned the two of them.

"The two of them can't and can't participate, they want to participate in the war between humans and demons, so let them go. What's more, this plan only needs the three of us to know, and we must not have any more accidents, because last time it was because of the overflow of sympathy between the two of them that our plan was delayed......"
