Chapter 21: Grief

"Ding!"

The world is always unsatisfactory, this time it was the sound of metal clashing, the black shadow retreated five steps in a row before he could barely stand firm, and when he looked up, a strong man appeared opposite him. Holding a steel long sword in his hand, he tapped the ground and held his left hand behind his back, like an elegant knight, between him and Jiang Liang.

"Ye Li? How can you have such strength! The black shadow gasped, and his terrifying face turned blue and red, even more hideous. Although their operation was hasty, the source of information was extremely reliable. At the beginning of the operation, they were indeed extremely comfortable, killing people without causing any panic. Today is just an ordinary day, and when everything here is over, someone will come to clean it up, and this place will turn into a tragic accident, burning all the people in the house in their sleep.

That's why he is comfortable to laugh at that ridiculous waste second son. But first this lowly noble son gave him a slap, and now another person has appeared. In terms of their intelligence, this person is Ye Li, a staff member of the Jiang family, who can be regarded as a confidant, at most a scholar with some scheming. But that blow just now!

Wrong! The killer suddenly calmed down, trying to catch the thoughts that were flowing through his head. Soon, he understood that he had delayed this son for too long, why Ah Da Ah Er hadn't found out yet, how could they let such a big living person go.

"Where's Ah Da Ah Er?" His voice trembled a little.

The scholarly swordsman's eyes were faint, and he said calmly: "You are the last, go on the road." ”

He raised his sword and simply slashed from above!

A sword that seemed extremely simple to others even felt a little child's play and a little shabby, but the hideous man opposite did not feel like this, it was as heavy as a mountain peak swung towards him, he knelt down on one knee, and crossed two sharp blades in front of his chest. In just a moment, he only had time to finish these things, and he had already caught up with the sword qi.

Yes!!!

The cloth of the killer's arms shredded in an instant, the scars on his face reopened, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding. In one move, he was seriously injured, and even the enchantment behind him was shaky.

Before he could react, the second sword came, again to put it mildly. This time he dodged it, but the barrier could no longer bear it and shattered. The black shadow took advantage of this opportunity and suddenly burst out, but it turned backwards, and disappeared after a few flickers. The scholar did not pursue, he walked to the broken wall, pulled the second son out of the damage, threw him on the horse, and then he stepped on his horse and galloped away without saying a word.

The dark horse survived the battle just now, unharmed, but it was frightened, and the scholar maintained some coercion, driving it to speed out of the city.

It was late at night, and the sound of horses' hooves was unusually loud in the cold streets.

Tonight is the half moon, and there is some light, and there are many conspiracies to hide. The scholar stopped by the river, and the two fishing fires seemed to guide them in the direction. The scholar let the horse go, slapped it on the buttocks, and the horse galloped again.

The noise here woke up the fishermen, and the shore was lit up a little bit.

An old man walked out of the cabin in a long robe, he was an old fisherman, he lived by this river for most of his life, rarely went ashore, this small fishing boat is his home. Anyone who is woken up in the middle of the night will not have a good temper. He held the fishing lantern and shone it on the shore, thinking that it was a ridiculous boy, who would even ride a horse on the shore at this time, so he was not afraid of a misstep and falling, so he decided to teach a good lesson.

But his light shone on a scholar and a man in his hand.

The fisherman rubbed his glasses fiercely, looked carefully at the person who came, his hands trembled a little, and said excitedly: "But Engong? ”

"Old boatman, how many times have you said it, you don't need to call it that, come to disturb me at night, I'm sorry, I'm going out of the city overnight."

"Engong come in, little old man will be in charge of the boat." The old man was obviously unwilling to listen to Ye Li's words.

Ye Li didn't refuse, he got on the boat with one step and went straight to the cabin.

The old man put on his robe and began to untie the ropes. It doesn't match his age, and his hands and feet are very neat. A long artemisia in his hand, gently on the shore, the boat sailed up. He didn't ask the scholar where he went, he went down the river at a very fast speed.

After Ye Li entered the cabin, he laid the little boy flat on the old man's bed. Then leaning against the corner, he sat down slowly, lowered his head, and began to grope in his arms. His breathing was a little heavy, and he seemed to be able to smell a little sweetness, and finally retrieved a small porcelain bottle. Opened the mouth of the bottle with difficulty, poured out two silver-white pills, he took a few deep breaths, and then stepped forward, his right hand touched the bloody face of the second son, and then broke his mouth, gave him one, and then retreated dejectedly. Sweat dripped down his cheeks and hair, as if some had flowed into his eyes, and his vision became more and more blurry, and he bent down and swallowed another pill in his palm like a chicken pecking rice. The sword that supported his body fell, his hands hung down, and he pressed his forehead to his knees, and just like that, he fell asleep quietly.

"Uncle Li, are you awake?"

With some dilapidated cabins, Ye Li finally woke up.

"How long did I sleep?" As soon as the voice came out, even Ye Li himself was a little surprised, hoarse, low, and like the usual judgment.

"Two days and one night, now we are in the city under the fence, and the old man is looking for a place to dock."

It turned out that Ye Li fell into a coma after taking the medicine that day, the old man knew that the situation was urgent, and went down the river overnight, and it didn't take long to go out of the city, and then he ran all the way, only resting on the shore for a few hours during the day yesterday, and then he crossed two cities in a row, and he had reached the boundary of the city under the fence.

"Tell the old man that he will stop in the city tonight, and he doesn't have to hurry, let him have a good rest."

The second son answered and walked out of the cabin. Ye Li struggled to sit up against the cabin, waving his numb arm, getting used to his weak state.

The boy came in again, and the moment he opened the cabin, he was injured, and for a moment he bared his teeth and grinned, but he didn't make any sound.

"How's the wound on your body?" The scholar asked.

The young man took some time to sit down opposite him, and after two breaths of relief, he said: "Fortunately, the most serious thing is the two ribs, the old man has already helped me to pick up the bones, and the medicine that Uncle Li gave me is indeed miraculous, the organs are damaged, and I can still live, but it seems that I can't drink flower wine for a month or two." ”

Ye Li didn't laugh at the joke, but shook his head.

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, you who are drunk and dreaming all day long, but you are an extremely introverted show."

The second son can't just be the second son, it can be seen from the reaction in front of his mansion, calm and forbearing, making decisions on the spot, and lacking courage, this is almost the best quality of a family heir, but he chose to watch from the sidelines, or be a rich son with peace of mind and hand over the huge property to his brother.

The young man was not polite, nor did he laugh as usual, he looked into Ye Li's eyes and said, "Uncle, my father, mother, and brother"

"They're all dead."

"Uncle, why should we run away, with your strength, can't you all slash the enemy?" The second prince lowered his head slightly, without any reproach or questioning, as if he was asking as simply as he was a family. He was seriously injured in front of the mansion, but he was not completely unconscious, he saw Ye Li's earth-shattering sword, and forced the black shadow that beat him into a dead dog.

Ye Li didn't show any dissatisfaction, but laughed at himself a little, he took out a crystal vial from his arms, only a shallow layer remained at the bottom.

"The elixir of immortality can stimulate the potential of the body, and the flow of magic and physical strength will increase several times, and the maintenance time is about three to five minutes. Of course, there is no such good potion in the world, and there is a considerable price to pay, that is, after the furious time is over, I will lose all my magic and my body will be exhausted, and this situation will not improve until a month later. In other words, I don't have any combat power for a month from now, and the rest of the days will depend on you. ”

"Uncle, I'm sorry" The second prince lowered his head, he was ashamed of his questioning just now, he was not unlearned, this medicine was passed down by his family, and the family occasionally obtained it thousands of years ago, after thousands of years of research and improvement, the side effects of this medicine are still heavy, far from being as simple as the scholar said. To burst out of that kind of attack power, it is not only necessary to lose the magic for a period of time, and the consequences of recklessly urging the magic are only one, the loss of life. He didn't know how much time it would take for such an outburst.

He buried his head between his knees, his heart was still messed up after all, and he didn't think of such an obvious problem. It was not a selfish middle-aged man, but an elder who was willing to spend his limited life to save him, entrusting himself to his elders in a moment of weakness.

The scholar raised his hand with some difficulty, but fortunately the cabin was so small that he didn't need to move much to touch the boy on the other side and gently stroke his lowered head.

It wasn't the first time he had taken the Immortal Elixir, in fact, he had taken it a little more than others had thought, and of course, the dose would be much smaller. He knew that he should be given between four and five minutes to take a whole bottle, and if he was willing to pay a little more, it was a little possible to delay it until five minutes later. In these times, it may be possible that he saved the pair of friends, as well as their eldest son. But when they saw the dazzling white lotus, they made a choice for him, and the three of them actually drank the immortal elixir together, and even Jiang Liang's young and old-fashioned brother didn't hesitate at all, they dragged the two sneak attackers. But Ye Li knew that they couldn't even support it for three minutes, and there was really only one last option left for him, he drank his share of the potion, and hit one person hard, but the other person was extremely vigilant, and didn't give him any chance, they were all veterans, and they understood that this kind of explosive potion could not last, so it was just a circumference, he had no choice, he could only gallop out, just in time for the second young master who was almost killed, and the ending was doomed. As for these facts, they are too heavy for Jiang Liang now, he naturally won't mention them, but he is full of sadness buried in his heart, maybe when he is strong enough, he will tell his father, mother and brother about his love for him.

"Don't be depressed, kid."

"Actually, I've always envied your father. We've known him since he wore open crotch pants, and he was a gentleman when he was young, no worse than you. As for me, I read well and did magic better than him, and as a result, he married the most beautiful girl in the school and gave birth to two sons, but I was still alone. ”

"You know, you two brothers, I've always liked you more"

"Your eldest brother is too serious, he is square in everything, he is impartial, he likes to read, like when I was younger, so I don't like it. You're different, you're good at eating, drinking, and having fun."

Ye Li said slowly, Jiang Liang's head was buried lower, and he choked slightly.

"Son, do you know what is the best tribute to them?"

The sobbing voice was a little sluggish.

"That's to remember them, to make us remember them more deeply."
